No actually all the constellations rotated in proximity to planets in the celestial sphere, so you get more than 1. She probably doesnt know what that means however, and is putting it on there to seem worldly and knowledgeable about muh mysticsm.

It wasn't politically stable. While Augustus created a system of administration that is still emulated today, he never created an efficient way to transfer power. It didn't become an issue until later, but one of the causes of the collapse was Romans fighting among themselves for control of the government. Because there was no legitimate means of transferring authority and because the office of Emperor started out as a combination of many other offices rather than being a kingship, civil war ensued time and time again. This led to the empire splitting into two and from there it was unable to manage itself in the face of invasions, social unrest, famines and religious upheavals. The western empire collapsed and the eastern half would survive until the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453.

Weak leadership, shitskin "immigrants", and a conquering empire that wasn't conquering anymore. So literally the same shit that's killing us now.

They let hordes of Germanic Barbarians in. That initially didn't collapse Rome tho.
What collapsed it was letting these Barbarians into their institutions and armies.
Also at the time Rome had such a low birth rate that they had to impose "bachelor taxes" on those who refused to marry and breed. Also just like modern liberals, Roman women were using a plant from the Euphrates river to abort their children.
