However there are good reasons why cycles are sometimes divided in 12 as Tulip is suggesting the precession cycle is divided.

Although New Agers and Astrologers often talk a lot of twaddle, there is sometimes a little grain of truth that they find because they are more open minded than hard nosed scientists who "know" what can and cannot happen. Therefore they are very much more likely to make brand new discoveries than these same scientists who generally can only make little incremental changes to existing knowledge.
Really? Can you give some examples where New Agers and astrologers have made brand new discoveries?

Please show something to quantify your 'much more likely" claim.

In the last century, if you please.
