Astrology: Past, Present, Future

ASTROLOGY OF THE PAST

PRESENT AND FUTURE

The beautiful art of astrology has long been used to make predictions and even prophecies. However, I do not claim to be a prophet, regardless of what others have said about me. Anyone who has ever studied astrology with an open mind has surly seen the patterns and cycles of nature emerge. I am making these forecast to our readers to help them counter balance what will surely be some of the most trying times in all the history of humanity. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. If people could find a way to cooperate with nature, there would be nothing we as a race could not accomplish. In all my years of metaphysical studies, I have learned there is one thing that is surely true." What you don’t know can hurt you severely!"

Astrology gives us insight that can help us through the hardest of times. I find comfort in knowing no matter what is going on, it would pass with the next cycle. The journey of life can be fraught with change and even despair. I am aware of something else, knowing what to expect and when it will change is a very uplifting experience. Astrology is a study of nature therefore knowledge of this subject can help us align ourselves with the most powerful force’s known to humanity. One thing is for sure nature will have her way with us in the end, one way or another.

These forecasts are made from planet positions based on the five outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These are the planets taking the longest to transit through a Zodiac sign. I’m paying particular attention to the three outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These three have the longest effect on human consciousness because they stay in a zodiac sign longer. Within this booklet will be inserts of the five planets that are taken from our book Astrology Unveiled. Within these texts are precepts of what each planet governs and also that planets effect on the zodiac signs.

At the end of each sign position is a spiritual projection, which encompasses one of the most positive spiritual aspects for the combination of the two energies. You may find some of these predictions to be alarming for they suggest quick, forceful and sudden changes to all of humanity. However, these changes do not have to be a painful experience to those wise souls who do not buy into the illusive physical world. I will present these planet positions starting with Jupiter, who governs insight and mental expansion. Saturn is next for it governs the energies of the material Earth and is the enforcer of universal order. Then the new age planet Uranus, the sign of supreme intelligence and the future liberator of humanity. Neptune is next. She is the spiritual power of faith and universal love. Then next is Pluto, which governs the power of creation and regeneration.

I will be assigning specific dates to the transits of these planetary vibrations and what can be expected when their energies are combined with the zodiac sign they will be transiting. We as a race have progressed very little in the last 5000 years. However, in the last 100 years we have taken the Aquarius quantum leap. The time is now upon us to search for and find the inner child, or spiritual presence we call God. The first twenty years after 000 will be the most critical and exciting times humanity has ever known in its entire existence. I know humanity has faced many trials before, but I do not think we have seen anything that will match the scale of the coming years.

As the Bible states, if you give your life you shall know eternal life, if you try to save your life it will be taken from you. If we can survive until 01/21/2012, we will witness the complete transformation of the Aquarian age and rebirth of the true Christ principals. These times will see all the people of the world finding a newer and more spiritual way of life. We will be forced to combine energies and resources and we will be forced to work together. These trying times will create a sense of brotherhood, compassion, justice and freedom never seen before. This time period will launch humanity into the most progressive and liberating times of our entire existence as a race.

I hope you are up for the challenge. I pray that we’ll find within ourselves the will and fortitude to elevate our race to a spiritual consciousness greater than ever before. Then we will witness that 1,000 years of peace promised to us in revelations.

Out Of The Vast

There’s a part of the sun in the apple,

There’s a part of the moon in a rose;

There’s a part of the flaming Pleiades

In every leaf that grows.

Out of the vast comes nearness;

For the God whose love we sing

|Lends a little of his heaven

To every living thing.

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?

The word astrology is derived from two Greek words: astra or star, and logos or logic. It is often referred to as the wisdom of the heavens. It has been preserved for humanity by the prophets, seers and other keepers of the flame of truth throughout the ages. Dating back thousands of years and existing in practically every country that exhibited any form of human evolution, this makes astrology, some of the most studied and evolved knowledge known to man. The uses of this universal knowledge are so vast that they could not even be numbered. In fact, it’s truths and uses are so powerful it has been kept from the masses throughout the ages. Only now do we possess the spiritual insight, comprehension and compassion to use it properly.

When humanity was in its infant stages of consciousness, surely they gazed up at the heavens and knew deep within their souls that we are intimately connected to the stars and the universe. Since the first conscious thought, we as a race have been unfolding, hoping someday that we, like the heavens would be made whole. Astrology was different in many civilizations and it seemed to develop independently. Since the first Bedouin shepherds started noticing the patterns of the stars in the heavens, the progression of astrology began.

The Chaldeans, who lived in Babylon (now Iraq), developed one of the original forms of astrology as early as 3000 BC. The Chinese were practicing astrology by 2000 BC. The Chinese zodiac signs are called rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, serpent, horse, sheep, monkey, hen, dog and pig. By 500 BC, astrology had spread to ancient Greece. It was at this time Greece reached her height. It was because of astrologers like Aristotle, Pythagoras, Plato and Ptolemy who used this ancient form of knowledge to enhance and elevate every form of thought within their country.

They incorporated it in their writings, medicine, art, agriculture and government. They were some of the greatest astrologers because their main focus in life was the relentless search for truth. As astrologers, they possessed superior knowledge that could shed much light on future and past experiences. Other varieties of astrology formed in ancient India and in Central America, Rome, North America and countless other countries. These people observed that certain astronomical bodies, particularly the Sun, affected the change of seasons and the success of medicine, crops and fishing. Based on calculated observations, astrologers developed a broader system by which the movements of other bodies such as the planets represented additional aspects of life. As astrology became introduced to the European nations it took on a different form and meaning, unfortunately it became a science rather than a philosophy. There was a time when only kings and rich businessmen were counseled by astrologers.

However, if one wrong forecast resulted, a quick and sudden death was inevitable for the astrologer. As time went on, humane astrologers and philosophers developed a grander scheme for their liberating knowledge, they would share it with the common people who possessed good hearts. These astrologers would pass on this knowledge on to anyone who wished to know truth and harmony. The evolutionary process of this ancient art became a common tool for anyone wishing to abide within the laws of nature and be a co-creator with the universe.

Astrology is a metaphysical marvel that indicates human reactions to planetary vibrations within our solar system. We collect thoughts in our subconscious while asleep or when we meditate, we express those mental impressions when conscious or awake, here, again a double nature exists. Astrology teaches spiritual potentials and natural soul compatibility. It is a philosophy of nature expressed by actions and reactions. Like all the ologies and isms it is mainly ruled by the sign Aquarius, which is the New Age sign. Astrology exposes changing circumstances in life and the true nature of those circumstances.

It prepares one to manipulate and transform so-called adverse conditions before they appear, manifesting better conditions in advance. As one example of how astrology psychologically influences humanity, we will consider the affects of the Sun. This planet affects every living thing on Earth. Its rays are among the most influential and beneficial to humanity.

The Sun in one’s natal chart indicates the real self, or the soul’s purpose and is said to affect the conscious mind. In our solar system, the Sun gives soul power. The word’s sun, soul, and solar are derived from the same root word. The Sun gives power to regenerate and reproduce life. If you planted a flower or tree, would you keep it out of sunlight? Of course not for the new plant would surely die. When the Sun doesn’t shine, we are more apt to become irritable or feel dull. Anything seen in sunlight is automatically bright and clear to the mind.

Let’s examine the effects of the Moon’s magnetic pull upon humanity.

In astrology, the Moon’s influence is taken seriously for it affects the subconscious mind. The moon is not only the most visible planet it is also the closest to the Earth. The Moon affects all liquids, she controls the tides and all fluids and since the human body contains over 70 % fluid, why shouldn’t the Moon’s gravitational pull affect us? As the tides rise and fall, humanity experiences these tidal changes as feelings and moods. Changes of emotional tides within humanity are called cycles of emotions. Remember the saying It’s an up-and-down world. Knowing emotional lunar levels can prepare us and help us overcome the hardest of times. Astrology is a true study of natural phenomena. This ancient art reveals accurate views and data that help us to express a natural and coexisting life with nature.

Nature and natural are one in the same word. On a personal and even global level the benefits and uses for this ancient knowledge are truly universal and can easily elevate the consciousness of every person on this planet. By understanding the true nature of others and ourselves, we can form lasting relationships and exhibit natural respect for each other. Any subject this large could naturally take many years to comprehend.

However, as modern day astrologers, we are blessed with tools that ancient astrologers could not even dream about. What might take 10 years to comprehend in the past could be learned in a few short months. Therefore, the time is now for people of the world to harness this liberating knowledge and use it to elevate the consciousness of humanity. As a modern day astrologer, I must agree that astrology of old is more truthful concerning some matters. But the potential of modern day astrology has the technology to verify the countless truths that are contained within this vast subject. Through mental awareness of symbolic knowledge, we accumulate a spiritual consciousness that elevates the soul.

This knowledge provides opportunities to rise above common material illusions of life; thus, we spiritually interpret natural human reactions and desires. We do not change universal law or hold nature in obedience and at our beck and call. However, by a thorough study of astrology we can improve manifested response to universal law by improving conscious thinking, speech, habits, and actions. Astrology can show us when certain planetary influences are present and what to expect. Our spiritual evolution determines what extent these influences will manifest. Astrology is one of the most important studies we can undertake. Its precepts should be investigated and taught in every school of life.

The philosophy of astrology and all metaphysical knowledge should be restored to its original level of truth and beauty so the world may once again gain a true perspective of divine plan, as expressed throughout the wisdom of the ages and recorded in symbolism and numbers. Astrology and numerology are two of the purest presentations of spiritual truth in the world today. This ancient philosophy deals with governing vibrations and motivating forces that play through and upon the whole field of space and all manifestations within that field. When this knowledge is grasped and all sources of these influential energies are comprehended, humanity will experience a clear meaning for their creation. When relationships between planetary vibrations, systematic cycles and cosmic entities are understood, we shall start to live scientifically and progressively.

We’ll then experience the age of man, or Aquarius, that the Master Jesus spoke of: In the age of man ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The objective of this metaphysical textbook is to simply present the subject of astrology in a manner that reveals its valuable truths. Our goal is to share knowledge contained within this vast symbolic philosophy, so that the many truths can take a useful, prominent, and active part in assisting those participating in the New Age movement; thus assuring greater advancements toward individual excellence. This knowledge will surely aid humanity in the future by developing, expanding, and uplifting human consciousness spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. At the end of each sign position is a spiritual projection which encompasses one of the most positive spiritual aspects for the combination of the two energies.

QUALITIES AND SIGNATURE OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS AND PLANETS

WHAT IS THE ZODIAC?

To describe the zodiac one must use imagination. Envision the zodiac as a 15° belt of space, or imaginary circle surrounding the Earth, this belt of space is the apparent path the planets transit annually. There are 12 constellations in the fixed stars of our solar system, these 12 signs are directly associated with the twelve zodiac signs and the 12 Earth houses contained within the natal chart. The magnetic pull of the Suns annual transit through each zodiac constellation, causes the seasons to change and directly determines every aspect of what we call time. Due to the Earth’s orbital rotations, it causes the Sun to appear like it’s orbiting our Earth approximately every 24-1/4 hours. Due to the orbit and rotational speed of Earth, the Suns appears to be orbiting around us; in reality the Sun is stationary and many believe that it is the only stationary object in our solar system.

The annual motion or orbit of the Earth around the Sun causes it to appear as if it is passing through one of the twelve zodiac signs each month or 30 days. The Sun’s influence, according to location, determines not only the seasons, but also the general soul nature and character of all living things within our solar system. The Sun changes zodiac signs every 30 days or degrees as it passes from Aries to Pisces each solar year. The twelve main zodiac energies are exhibited in the actions of the twelve sun signs which are: Aries The Ram, Taurus The Bull, Gemini The Twins, Cancer The Crab, Leo The Lion, Virgo The Virgin, Libra The Scales, Scorpio The Scorpion, Sagittarius The Archer, Capricorn The Goat, Aquarius The Water Bearer and Pisces The connected Fishes. The planet’s transit from west to east through the zodiac; they may take 2 days or 30 years to transit a zodiac sign, this depends on their orbital distance from the Sun.

The amount of solar time it takes a planet to transit a zodiac sign will depend on how far it is from the zodiac, how many times it retrogrades or goes stationary and the speed it travels.

Although the zodiac is referred to as a circle, it is in fact ecliptic, meaning each sun sign division possesses specific influences, or expressions of its own. There are 6 masculine positive and 6 negative feminine signs. There are three Fire, Air, Earth and Water signs. These 12 signs indicate the seasonal changes on planet Earth. In the western hemisphere, the three signs of spring are Aries, Taurus and Gemini. The three signs of summer are Cancer, Leo and Virgo. The three signs of fall are Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. And the three winter signs are Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

This zodiacal circle is divided into twelve equal parts. Each part consists of 30° of space and two hours of time. Thus, each Sun sign occupies one twelfth of the zodiac circle and contains 30° of celestial longitude. Twelve times 30° constitute a complete circle of the zodiac or 360° of space. In this circle, each planet travels in its separate orbit around the Sun each one lying beyond the other. Even though the Earth may travel outside the sphere of the zodiac, the Suns effect is still felt for it is still transiting the zodiac signs. The solar vibration it sets off at the time will affect every planet in the solar system. Although astronomers consider the Sun to be a star and the Moon to be a satellite, astrologers consider them planets because of their circular shape.

As the planets transit each sign of the zodiac, they set off corresponding vibrations of the sign and planet or planets involved. Example: If Jupiter was transiting the sign Sagittarius it would be at home in its corresponding sun sign Sagittarius, both are fire vibrations. However, if Jupiter were transiting the earth sign Capricorn, it would be considered in its fall, or limited to its normal vibration. In the fiery sign of Sagittarius, the fire planet Jupiter could expand, however when placed in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn, its expansive energies would be contracted and somewhat limited. As we study the signs and energies they produce, we learn to compare and evaluate what is harmonious and what is frictional. This is how astrology works; it is a science of comparison. A famous astrologer Llewellyn George once said, The planets impel but they do not compel.

Many planetary transits resemble drops of water on a big rock; it may take a long time for their vibrations to be recognized. However, other planetary transits in a zodiac sign can set off extreme friction at incredible rates of speed, which may even cause wars and rebellions when not recognized.

The vibrations of the Sun and other planets cause spiritual, physical, mental and emotional signatures on the human race. All of the planets orbit around the Sun. The Sun is the center of our solar system. The Sun in astrology is said to be the giver of life and the Moon is said to be the receiver. Planetary vibrations profoundly affect every living thing, on or in this planet. Any farmer or fisherman who does not use solar and lunar tables to guide them will not be very successful. Some planet transits are so harmonious they are hardly ever noticed. The longer a planet stays in a zodiac sign, the longer its effect will last on the consciousness of humanity. The vibrations that are set off by the planets when they transit the zodiac are woven into every atom and thought conceivable.

Early astrologers determined the width of the zodiac, so they could track the annual motion of the five visible planets. These planets were assigned to all twelve-sun signs at that time, because the other planets could not yet be seen. When telescopes were invented and more planets were found and observed by astrologers, a truer picture of planetary vibrations began to develop and astrology became a more precise study.

Today we have the Hubbell telescope and space probes that give us a wider and much clearer view of our solar system. The modern day astrologer has a magnitude of tools to work with. When we teach astrology we try to make impressions on our students to see the energies of the three factors involved to understand a natal chart. The planets, sun signs and earth houses are all connected.

Example: The Sun, Leo and the fifth earth house are related.

We teach the planet are the spiritual manifestation, the zodiac sign is the mental manifestation of the Sun and the fifth earth house is the physical manifestation of the Sun and Leo vibration.

It’s a wonderful experience to share and cooperate with nature and to understand your fellow man. That is a pure form of universal consciousness and allows us to love and understand all our brothers and sisters. This ancient knowledge helps us to understand the forces of nature and to love all creation.

THE AQUARIAN AGE IT IS HERE AND IT IS NOW

During the 20th century there has been much speculation about what the Age of Aquarius will bring and how it will affect humanity. The advanced thought of this age is now a reality within the human consciousness, whether they’re aware of it or not. The age of the Water Bearer will see the advance guard of truth, peace and brotherhood manifested within everyone. This will truly be the age of the angel. Many of the mysteries of life and the universe will become clear and pronounced for those advanced souls who possess an inborn love for truth, justice, and equality. Subjects like astrology, numerology, spiritualism, metaphysics, and spiritual science will truly manifest. All of the ologies and isems are associated with the new age sign Aquarius. When scientists are spiritually motivated, instead of militarily motivated the inventions of science will then progress humanity to its highest potential ever.

The word Aquarius is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water.

Aquarius is however an air sign and the water bearer, it is the 11th sign and house of the zodiac. It’s depicted as a woman carrying in her right hand a pitcher of water see cover.

The water symbolizes new consciousness, which is the mind stuff from which spirituality is derived. As she pours out the new waters of life upon the seas, the air generated through the water becomes a reality to the awakened soul. The Aquarian Age is the age of enlightenment and the spiritual side of the great teachings many masterminds gave to the world may now be comprehended by multitudes of people. Humanity is experiencing an advanced stage of spiritual awakening they were promised thousands of years ago. With the invention of electricity (invented by Aquarian Ben Franklin), we have witnessed humanity’s greatest achievements. This technology revolutionized our entire existence in less than 100 years. With computers and electrical devices, humanity can
