The Source never manifests itself in its totality. Observing this astrologically, we are at the crossroads of two ages, the outgoing Piscean Age and the incoming Aquarian Age. The properties, qualities and principles that apply to each age/era are aspects of the Source that manifest for a cycle or period of approximately 2000-2,500 years. These are aspects of “God” (Source) and are also termed as the Piscean or Aquarian “Face of God”.
Astrologically, this immediately tells us that the Face of God has twelve aspects to it, symbolized by the 12 signs of the zodiac and also, that only one of these twelve aspects manifests during a 2000+ year cycle. Symbolically, the remaining aspects of the Source (Faces of God) with their respective archetypal energy properties go into a state of “hibernation” but still are ever-present. They are not inactive rather they simply infuse their energies more passively as they retreat into a state of hibernation.
Esoteric astrology is the only branch of learning that intimates what the intelligent part of the universe beyond our solar system is cognizing, and how its intelligence may be affecting us. Esoteric astrology also posits the fundamental maxim:
As Above, So Below
Meaning that what is celestial is affecting us here below so that we are a mirror image in our actions of what goes on up there. An intelligent cosmos gives us elbow room:
- For a Divinity
- For reincarnation elsewhere especially at higher levels
- For Laws of Karma to bring justice
- For Egoic lotuses to open
- For Grander & higher beings to operate
Esoteric Astrology means influences which: - Come from within us
- Come from within the Consciousness of the planet Earth – which in this astrology is
connected to Sagittarius and the 9th house – from Nature and the Seasons with their diurnal
rhythms - From Shamballa, which can include Full Moon Meditations and relationships between the
planets - From Galactic Beings concentrating on the Earth at this time
- From one’s own share of the Collective Unconscious
- From zodiacal beings and beyond, and THEIR planetary rulers
- From Douglas Baker and this School
- From Abstract Thought
Your Higher Self, or Soul chose its exact time and place to come into this human existence in accordance with its Master Plan. The astrological chart is the Soul’s blueprint to what it had in mind for this journey here on Earth. We each arrive with a unique horoscope, the map of our place in the Universe and a guide for our chosen Path. The personality the Soul chose is part of the Master Plan and is correctly described by orthodox astrology which answers questions about our mundane lives, our daily details. But when we begin to seek on a spiritual level, to align with our Soul, Esoteric Astrology automatically becomes operative and far more relevant.
Interpreting this new (ancient) astrology is not a process a computer can spit out because every chart is as existential as the person it belongs to. Therefore, interpretation of the same aspect can vary a great deal from person to person. Real meaning does not come from a book or computer program but from within the astrologer, from faculties that transcend the intellect. The astrologer establishes a dialogue between his or her own and the client’s inner self, thereby accessing a wealth of insight obtainable by no other technique of interpretation.
Esoteric Astrology indicates potential and challenge in the life of a personality and can therefore offer direction. It does not attempt to predict or state absolutes, especially on a mundane level. The astrologer offers guidance as to the Soul’s intent and your own character traits. This is not about fate, rather about limitations and possibilities. You still have free will, but within the parameters of your chosen chart.
Astrology can assist with holistic counseling, taking into consideration the whole person: environment, genetic/hereditary makeup and a 3rd force that we call the Soul or Higher Self.
Our consciousness has expanded rapidly but traditional astrology has not kept pace. Modern astrologers are desperately adding other factors such as moons of other planets, nodes and meteors, Chiron and more. We need a “new” astrology that can deal with the expansion of consciousness and the astrology that this school teaches has many advantages in this matter. It is both simple and masterful in its structure: 12 Houses, 12 Signs, 12 Planets. Period.
Recent discoveries by science is helping us. The acknowledgement of dark matter & dark energy which has baffled science is explained in this astrology. Theosophists teach that the organization of the world of mental energy and mental matter anteceded the worlds of material/atomic substance. Life forms existed mentally before materializing a physical form. We say that dark matter/energy are the spiritual realms of ancient wisdom & theosophy. The immense cosmic energies flowing through the universe: dark energy, dark matter, magnetism – the sun & the earth’s own magnetic fields are explained herein. These energy fields that are around us are changed by something moving around us, something constantly changing the energy.
The Aquarian astrologer must be in full knowledge of new developments including matters like quantum mechanics; “I know!” not, “I believe!”
In this course you will learn about the structure, the science and the physics of astrology. You will learn how to interpret in a new, more meaningful way and you will learn how to begin a dialogue between your personality and your Soul, perhaps the most important tool in your spiritual toolbox. We look forward to working with you as you begin this inspirational journey.
