It was born from many dialogues within the esoteric community, some of which revolved around an “unpublished let-ter” from the Master D.http://www.esotericstudies.net/quarterly/archive/Files020406/EQ020406--Lindsay.pdf.K. that indirectly gave the date in question. This article seeks to work from the greater view to the particular, remind-ing us that the Science of Cycles is extremely complex and intricate, giving pause for thought about the illusory nature of time. There are ray, planetary and zodiac cycles, all of which have various contexts within the greater “yugas” or wheels; or according to the rays of soul groupings, races, subraces and branch races. The exact time for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius has been debated amongst astrolo-gers for years. From the greatest manvantaras to the lesser daily round, the mystery of cycles has pre-occupied this author for some time. I am re-minded of the illusory nature of this sacred science and the limited personal veil through which I perceive time. Any attempt at pene-trating its arcana solely through my concrete mind is always soundly repelled by a veil of protection that surrounds it. None of us is free from illusion, glamour and maya, nor do we possess the clear vision of the Master who has been liberated from these trammels. The tendency for the western eso-teric student with well a equipped concrete mind, is toward a linear and literal perception of time. Having been informed that a greater cycle exists (this applies to all signs), other passages about any astrological age in the Tibetan’s books must be examined by the careful student for ambiguity or hints—as to whether they refer to a greater cycle. The greater wheel of 25,000 years is also part ... YHVH is used to create a mandala that describes the metaphysical dynamics of the Western zodiac.http://www.esotericstudies.net/quarterly/archive/Files020206/EQ020206-Mulcahy.pdf. The mandala is shown to re-veal important esoteric relationships that exist between each of the twelve zodiacal signs, and also how each sign is involved in the evolu-tionary and creative processes occurring on our planet. The metaphysical teachings of the ancient Hebrews attribute to such divine names meanings that lie beyond their simple face-value so it is not surprising that this most sacred of names conceals a formula describing the profound esoteric nature of our world. The YHVH mandala will be shown to embody in its sym-bolism the fundamental evolutionary (and ul-timately creative) purpose of the twelve signs of the Western zodiac. The causal body is the central, controlling or-gan responsible for the evolution of human consciousness. Consequently every human-being has a causal lotus located within the higher levels of his or her mental body. The Will aspect of the causal lotus impels us to reincarnate, and to endure each stage of the evolutionary process. We usually speak of the causal lotus as exist-ing within us, but in fact it is the other way around. What we experience as we go through life is a reflection of the causal lotus projected onto the “screen” of matter. The causal lotus contains an archetypal configura-tion that reflects our personal evolutionary needs, and this causal blueprint also deter-mines the nature of our experience of the physical world. It is those life-experiences that lead to the evolution of our consciousness and ulti-mately to our freedom from the need to rein-carnate within these levels of ... Teacher: Access to magazine horoscopes Students: Horoscope sheets Lesson guide: PART A: In this activity, students try to fi nd their own sign from a variety of unidentifi ed signs in a horoscope column.. b) Cut out the horoscopes and remove the dates, signs and any telltale references to the sign, like “you’re a real lion at times.” Be sure to make a copy of the full column for yourself and put it aside. c) Mix up the order of the descriptions, and give each one a number from 1 to 12. Transfer these numbers to your copy for future reference. d) Have each student write down his or her name and birthday on a piece of paper. e) Distribute the sheet with all the numbered (but otherwise unlabeled) horoscopes to the students and have them select the one description that best fi ts the day in question. (Be sure you remind them of the day the horoscopes apply.) f) Ask the students to predict how they think this experiment will turn out. g) Put the signs and birth dates associated with each numbered paragraph on the board. h) Have the class count how many students picked their own sign among the 12 and how many did not. i) Discuss how the results compare to expected student numbers based on chance alone. The Solar System Module Astrologers will tell you that the Sun sign (which is the sign of the zodiac the Sun was in when an individual was born) is a crucial factor for the occupation a person chooses and a strong determinant of overall personality as it relates to one’s job. As an example of how we can test such a hypothesis, students can examine the birth dates of the 25 men who have successfully run for the job of Prime Minister ... The “E” and “W” (east and west) cards are very helpful visual aids for Kinesthetic Astronomy™ lessons.http://www.spacescience.org/education/extra/kinesthetic_astronomy/KAPROPSAug04_lr.pdf. Although hand gestures can be used instead, field testing has proven the strong value to both student and instructor of using explicit letters as depicted below. MATERIALS: Photocopier, paper cutter, glue stick, and 64 Popsicle sticks. both sides of the “E” sign, and the “W” is on both sides of the “W” sign so that the teacher and all the students can see all the signs at the same time in the Kinesthetic Circle. Instructions: Following these directions will yield 32 double sided “E” cards and 32 double sided “W” cards. 1. Use page P3 to create a double-sided page with the same E and W pattern on both sides. The Zodiac signs are not absolutely required for the Kinesthestic Astronomy lessons. CONSTRUCTION OF SIGNS: Print the 12 Zodiac signs in B&W or color (Props pages P 11- P 22). MATERIALS: Object to represent the Sun, 12 laminated cards labeled with the names of the Zodiac constellations, 4 signs labeled with titles and dates of two equinoxes and two solstices on Earth. Place the “Summer Solstice” sign (P 7) on the ground as in the Zodiac Diagram (P 10). 6. Place the remaining Zodiac signs as shown on P 10. 1 Although astrology is not a considered a proper science, it has done a lot to popularize the names of the zodiacal The diagram below depicts the modern order of the Zodiacal constellations relative to the Sun (not to scale). If you know how to use a planisphere, you can confirm the positions of the constellations of the Zodiac along the ecliptic. Date and time of the New Moon in Taurus is corresponding to 07:29 pm GMT.. May 16, 2007 at 03:29 pm EDT , Succeeding Aries in the tropical zodiac, Taurus is the second s ign in the zodiacal band, stabilizing as well as sustaining the upsurge of the life force and thus enabling buds and sprouts to blossom, which will result in the flowering and the bearing of fruits in all of nature. Fixed signs follow cardinal signs to sub stantiate the initiatory impulse by concentrating the energy and transforming it thus into power. In this case, cardinal fire is modified by fixed earth, thereby rendering the dynamic, active energy assertion into a functional, tangible energy-substance with organic growth potential, represented by the astrological symbol of the Bull. Laden with the sweet, heavy odour emanating from flowers, bushes and trees and warmed by the steadily ascending brightness of the Sun the atmosphere invites us outside to bathe in the delight of our senses, promising that the already strong Sun rays will embrace us like a warming blanket, tan our skin and lighten up our mood, while the wind will gently touch us, playing with our hair as he dances through nature. If we let our eyes wander a palette of colours, revealing the beauty as well as the bounty Mother Earth has to offer, will be greeting us. Spring’s seasonal potential is now fully manifested and visible outwardly. Likewise, this is a particularly auspicious time for life. By tuning in to the lunation cycle and its underlying flavour we consciously participate in the rhythm of nature. Therefore, the Taurus New Moon is the perfect time to renew our attachment to ...

Below are two graphic demonstrations of the event: A Lunar Eclipse is happening when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth align at the time of the Full Moon or opposition between Sun and Moon with the Ear Moon in close vicinity of one of her nodes – in this case the South Node. As the Earth occults the brightness of the Moon the light is absorbed in the shadow, which symbolizes an illumination on the inside. Lunar Eclipses are rela ted to subjective, emotional and even psychic awareness. Here’s the chart: th in the middle and the A Full Moon occurs at the peak (opposition) of the synodic cycle of the luminaries (the lunation cycle), whereby thes e archetypal masculine and feminine energies are facing each other across the zodiac so that the Moon is enabled to fully reflect the light of the Sun. Each opposition highlights the two signs of one zodiacal sign axis, which are complementary to one ano ther. In the case of this Lunar Eclipse the zodiacal signs that contain the lunar nodal axis (or line of destiny) are activated. Thus, the Virgo (Moon-SN) – Pisces (Sun-NN) polarity is amplified in a way that feels like being tuned in to a higher frequenc y of these energy -substances. This is even more emphasized due to Uranus’ coupling with the eclipse by conjunction to the Sun and opposition to the Moon. Uranus’ involvement has a strong trigger effect, adding an element of surprise to the situation. It’s an erratic, high -voltage energy, which ...

It is rooted in a tradition that goes back thousands of years.http://www.shrifreedom.com/jyotish/beginnerastrologybook/Book1Preface.pdf. The Sage Paraçara, lived in the time period of approximately 2 to 3,000 B.C. according to Indian historians. For the benefit of all, Paraçara left a text called the Båhat Paraçara Horä Çastra (abbreviated by us as BPHS), which has been a guide to astrologers for millenniums. One day in correspondence, my Jyotiña guru, Pandit Sanjay Rath, told me, “Freedom, you have to work harder and get the text of BPHS INSIDE you completely.” He had given me the assignment of teaching 12 students the ancient Sanskrit astrological text of Båhat Paraçara Horä Çastra in two years. Many students were not even at a level to begin understanding those teachings, and needed to learn foundational principles first. I then began to teach beginner classes based primarily on the text of BPHS, which led to the material in this book. It is my vision to one day see Vedic Astrology taught in Western Universities. This text is written for the freshman university level mind. The aim is that a complete novice will be able to follow the text, but it is not baby food, nor watered down for the masses. It will require dedication and study to master this material. Utilizing a copy of Båhat Paraçara Horä Çastra will greatly benefit you while reading this book, though the first time through it may not be necessary. The translations of BPHS and other Sanskrit in this text are mine unless otherwise noted. I have worked hard to make translations accurate, to provide the Sanskrit words that have manifold meanings for easy reference, and yet keeping the reading enjoyable and ... It is common knowledge that the individual constellations of the sky are linked with myths in the form of anecdotes about the lives of the gods.http://www.sumscorp.com/articles/pdf/story_of_the_sky.pdf. One such a coherent narrative exists and is linked with the Bible. Scholars have claimed that both the cultures of Sumer and India copied this basic model in order to explain why there are parallels between the Bible, Gilgamesh and Vedic Texts. It shows how the Western 7 days of the week, 12 months of the year and 12 signs of the Zodiac are directly linked with the 12 year cycle of animals associated with China but found equally in India. It shows how these connections lead us to interpret anew the foundations of our beliefs and meaning of our myths and literature. Missing from her work was clear evidence that the Indian sources could explain dimensions of Western myths which were not otherwise comprehensible. The essence of major cultures lies not only in the symbols but also in the frameworks within which they are developed and nurtured. If we look beyond the narrow barriers of our own traditions and beliefs we are confronted by unexpected parallels between microcosm and macrocosm, which are not limited to a single culture. In the case of symbolism, there is an immediate problem that multiple interpretations are possible and in the case of important symbols this multiplicity of interpretation is the norm. One can demonstrate in some cases that understanding these parallels from another culture helps to explain what was inexplicable if one tried to understand the object or symbol only within that culture. This does not yet prove conclusively that there was an influence ... What can one do if one’s client has no time of birth? One can, of course, cast a Solar Chart which is what is often done.http://www.considerations-mag.com/articles/pdf/Jayne.pdf. In that book he brought the zodiac to earth by picking a baseline that he consid-ered to correspond to 0º a. Using the Locality MC one could also cast a Locality Horoscope that had nothing to do with the time of day of birth! This was due to the allegation of David Davidson in his well-known book The Great Pyramid that that pyramid is at the center of the land mass of the earth. Therefore the Greenwich meridian is not an arbitrary one, and it provides us with a real basis for a "Zodiac on Earth". Dr. Walter Gornold, better known as the English astrologer Sepharial, was the earli-est advocate of the first point of such a fixed tropical and terrestrial zo-diac corresponding to the Greenwich meridian. But he made one serious mistake in using celestial longitude instead of right ascension for measur-ing distances east and west on earth. For terrestrial longitude, measured along the equator on earth, is the same as right ascension, also measured along the equator but in space. Dis-tances East and West from that baseline were measured along the Equa-tor and then converted into the equivalent Ecliptic longitudes. It took much courage to come out and admit that after twenty years o f additional testing his first baseline had been wrong. One astrologer went so far as to allege that Johndro went back to his original baseline! Johndro died in November 1951 (within half an hour of his wife) so it would have been most extraordinary had he reverted to his earlier baseline so soon after rejecting it! My own work on ... An astrological horoscope is like a map of the sky for your instant of birth, looking from the viewpoint of your birthplace.http://www.astrocom.com/products/samples/palall.pdf. We will be interpreting the placements in your horoscope from several different viewpoints and each one will shed new light on the topic. Your day of birth determines the sign of the zodiac occupied by the Sun. The zodiac is like a ring out in space which has 12 sections--the signs. People born near a time when the Sun is about to change signs may need to supply their year and time of birth in order to determine which sign their Sun occupies. We need to know both your year of birth and your day of birth to discover which zodiac signs are occupied by the other planets. You express the drive symbolized by the planet in a manner described by the sign it occupies. You can mix and match to get several possi-bilities just from this brief introduction to planets 2 and signs. Everything has more than one meaning, so be open to multiple possibilities as you think of combining these lists in different ways. We have not exhausted the meanings of your Sun, but will do more with it later. Think about the potential positive options as well as the possible negative options for each combina-tion, and recall that each sign placement is further modified by the house the planet occupies and by aspects formed to other planets. This shared symbolism is one of the ways astrology makes it easy to spot the repeated (and most significant) themes in a chart. Although these examples give you some initial impressions, every planet (and house and sign) has a rich array of possibilities. These lessons will help you learn to spot ... Here are some of the questions most commonly asked of astrologers, on various occasions from parties to public meetings, by people from the vast general public who either know very little about astrology, or who have been previously misinformed.http://www.astrocom.com/articles/infospecials/IMISX.pdf. This Information Special is provided to help you to be prepared with appropriate answers. Number 1 is perhaps the most frequent general challenge: Do you really believe in that stuff? Belief is not the right word. Belief implies pure faith, rather than reason based on observation. The fact that the zodiac signs are so colorful, and therefore easily translated into over-simplified fads, has contributed both to the popularity of astrology and to its vulnerability to skepticism such as yours. Astrologers use signs of the zodiac, not constella-tions. The reference point, then, for this zodiac of signs is the seasons of Earth, not the stars. This is called “the tropical zodiac” and Tropical Astrology is the most commonly used form of astrology in western culture. The sidereal zodiac, more commonly used in Eastern culture, takes its reference point from particular stars but still divides the ecliptic into equal signs, so it is not the same as the astronomical zodiac (the zodiacal constellations), which are unequal. Due to the precession of the equinoxes the zodiac of signs now offsets the zodiac of constellations by about 25°. it can and has been used as a tool of religion—as is evidenced in many examples of zodiacal symbols in ancient religious art. Zodiac symbology can be found in temples, in association with the 12 tribes of Israel, for ex-ample. And the association of the apostles ... In this paper I argue that the author of the Satyrica, a perceptive and refined reader of Horace’s satires (cf.http://www.apaclassics.org/AnnualMeeting/07mtg/abstracts/marchesi.pdf. Sat. 2.8). Two elements of the Satyrica find a meaningful antecedent in the connection that 2.8 establishes with the tradition of the art of memory. Satyrica 60.1-3, the moment at which the ceiling of the banquet hall seems to collapse on the diners, connects Trimalchio's dinner with the threatened collapse of the ceiling/awning at Nasidienus's house and also with its legendary antecedent in the story of Simonides's invention of mnemotechnics (I. Marchesi, TAPA 135.2 [2005]). Second, Satyrica 66.1-7, the scene in which Habinnas engages in a short but effective display of culinary memory, recalls the mnemonic exercise in which Catius engages in Horace’s satire. Catius’s recitation of a dinner menu foreshadows and sets the tone for the allusive interest in mnemotechnics later evidenced in 2.8. After establishing that the intertextual evocation in the Satyrica of Horace’s Sat. 2.4 and 2.8 targets passages specifically alluding to the art of memory, I propose to look at the Zodiac plate in the same light. The puzzling hors d’oeuvres (Sat. 35.1-5) that Trimalchio explains at 39.5-15 seem to be an integral element in a three-part exploration of the conception of time. Framed by other allusive dishes that evoke the alternating night/day and winter/summer sequence and the circular panchronic expanding of linear time into eternity, the plate refers readers to the astrological partitioning of the year by the constellations. In its structure, however, the plate is also reminiscent of a memorial artifice: the twelve-house ... | |
