To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to reap, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

— Ecclesiastes

Dedication

I dedicate this book to The Spirit of The Holy Trinity, and to all who share their light. To my spirit guides who saved my life many times in many ways. They light my path to show me a better and truer way of life. Also, to my second best friend Miriam, the most loving wife a man could ever be blessed with. And to all the wonderful friends and acquaintances I met along the path. That even goes for those who shunned me. In truth, they taught me some of the most important lessons of all. I wish I could tell you my readers, about all of my wonderful experiences and travels over the years.

Much of this time was spent serving humanity and spirit. I wish you could see through my eyes, all the miracles I have witnessed. When you walk and work in spirit, there is no time, only consciousness and spiritual perception. There is no obstacle to big, or small that spirit can’t handle. I know this to be a fact, for I am living proof of the transforming, life saving powers of universal law.

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. This wisdom has been preserved for humanity by prophets, seers, and keepers of the flame of truth throughout the ages. The subject of astrology dates back thousands of years. It existed in practically every country that exhibited any form of human evolution. This makes astrology, some of the most studied, and evolved knowledge in Earth history.

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. It is only now that we possess the spiritual insight, comprehension and compassion as a race, to use it properly. When humanity was in its infant stages of consciousness, surely they gazed up at the heavens. They must have known 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 some day that we, as the heavens, would be made whole.

Astrology was different in many civilizations; 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 B.C. 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.

They 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 of all time. Their main focus in life was the relentless search for truth. As astrologers, they possessed superior knowledge that could shed much light on future, present and past events.

Other varieties of astrology formed in ancient India, Central America, Rome, North America, and countless other countries. These people observed that certain astronomical bodies, particularly the Sun and Moon, directly affected the changes of the seasons. It also enhanced the success of medicine, crops and fishing. Based on calculated observations, astrologers developed a broader system. By tracking the movements of the stars and planets, they became more aware of additional aspects concerning 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 from this liberating knowledge.

They would share it with the common people, who possessed good hearts. These astrologers in turn passed on this knowledge 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. Thus becoming a co-creator with the universe. Astrology is a metaphysical marvel; it indicates human reactions to planetary vibrations within our solar system. We collect thoughts in our sub-conscious while asleep, or when we meditate.

We materialize those mental impressions when conscious or awake. Like everything else about humanity, a double nature exists. Astrology teaches spiritual potentials and natural soul compatibilities. It is a philosophy of nature, expressed by actions and reactions. Like all the ologies and isms, it is mainly governed 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, thus manifesting better conditions of life in advance.

A good example of how astrology psychologically influences humanity would be to 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 position of the Sun in one’s natal chart indicates the real self, or the soul’s purpose. It is also said to affect the conscious mind. In our solar system, the Sun gives soul power. I look upon each human being, as a miniature solar system, all responding to a larger solar system. 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 brighter and clearer to the mind.

Let’s examine the effects of the Moon and her magnetic pull upon the Earth. In astrology, the Moon influence is taken seriously. It affects the sub-conscious mind and our feelings. The moon is not only the most visible planet; it is also the closest to the Earth. The Moon affect all liquids, she controls the tides and all fluids. 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. It’s vast and accurate knowledge, helps us to express a natural and coexisting life within the realm of 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, could 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 decades 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 the people of the world to harness this liberating knowledge. We must use it to elevate the perception of humanity. As a modern day metapsysician, I must agree that astrology of old, is more truthful concerning some matters. However, the potential of modern day astrology, has the technology to verify the countless truths, contained within this vast subject.

Through mental awareness of symbolic knowledge, we accumulate spiritual consciousness; this elevates the soul. These cosmic laws provide opportunities to rise above the common material illusions of life. Thus, we come to spiritually interpret natural human reactions and desires. We do not change universal law, or hold nature in obedience to our beck and call. However, by a thorough study of this subject, we can improve manifested response to universal law. We simply improve our conscious thinking, speech, habits and actions. Astrology can show us when certain planetary influences are present and what to expect.

THE CELESTIAL ZODIAC

To describe the zodiac, one must use imagination. Envision the zodiac as a 15-degree belt of space, or imaginary circle surrounding the Earth. This belt of space is the apparent path that all the planets transit through. As we mentioned before, there are 12 star constellations contained within the zodiac. These 12 zodiac signs are directly associated with the twelve sun signs, and the 12 Earth houses contained within the natal chart. The magnetic pull of the Sun’s annual transit through each zodiac sign causes the seasons to change. These annual transits directly affect every aspect of life, and 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 Sun appears to be orbiting around us. In reality, the Sun is the only stationary thing in our solar system. The annual orbit of the Earth around the Sun causes the Sun to pass through one of the twelve zodiac signs each month. The Sun’s influence, according to location, determines not only the seasons, but also the general soul nature. This determines the character of all living things within its field.

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 planets transit from west to east through the zodiac. They may take 2 days, or up to 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 also depend on how far it is from the zodiac, how many times it retrogrades, or goes stationary, and also the speed it travels. Although the zodiac is referred to as a circle, it is in fact ecliptic, meaning each sun sign division possesses a specific influence, or expressions of its own. There are 6 masculine positive and 6 negative feminine solar 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. The three winter signs are Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The zodiacal circle is divided into twelve equal parts. Each part consists of 30¡ of space, and two hours of Earth time. Thus, each Sun sign occupies one twelfth of the zodiac circle. Each sign contains 30¡ of celestial longitude. Twelve times 30° constitutes a complete circle of the zodiac, or 360° of space. In this zodiac circle, each planet travels in its separate orbit around the Sun.

Each planetary vibration is inner acting with the vibrations of the other planets. Even though the Earth may travel outside the sphere of the zodiac, the effect of the Sun is still felt, because it is still transiting one of the zodiac signs. The solar vibration set off at that 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, thus activating the solar sign and planet, or planets involved within that transit.

Example: If Jupiter were transiting the solar sign Sagittarius, it would be at home in its corresponding sun sign Sagittarius. Both are fire vibrations and readily expand. However, if Jupiter were transiting the earth sign Capricorn, it would be considered in its fall.

This position would limit the Jupiter 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 limited. As we study the signs and the energies they produce, we learn to compare and evaluate what is harmonious and what is frictional.

This is how astrology works; it is an on going 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. They may take long periods of time for their vibrations to be consciously recognized. However, other planetary transits in a zodiac signs can set off extreme friction at incredible rates of speed. Some of these planetary aspects may even cause wars and rebellions. By understanding what may happen, we as individuals can better prepare for what is ahead.

The vibrations of the Sun, and other planets cause mental and emotional signatures on the entire human race. All of the planets orbit around the Sun. The Sun is the center of our solar system. See chart on preceding page. 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 person, animal and plant. 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 are woven into every atom and thought within this planet and solar system. Early astrologers determined the width of the zodiac, so they could track the annual motion of the five visible planets. At one time, these planets were assigned to all twelve sun signs, mainly because the outer planets could not yet be seen.

When telescopes were invented, more planets were found and observed by astrologers. A much truer picture of planetary vibrations began to develop. It was then that astrology started to become 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. We have computers that can deline a horoscope in less than two minutes. The modern day astrologer has a magnitude of tools to work with. When we teach astrology, we try to make an impression on our students. We tell them to see all of the energies, of the three factors involved in understanding a natal chart. These factors are, the planets, sun signs and the earth houses.

Example: The Sun, the solar sign Leo and the fifth earth house are directly related. We teach that the planet’s symbolize the spiritual manifestation. The zodiac sign’s is the mental manifestation. The earth houses represent the physical manifestation. 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. This knowledge allows us to love, and understand all our brothers and sisters. This ancient knowledge can align us with the forces of nature, and to love all creation.

WHAT IS A NATALCHART?

WHAT IS A HOROSCOPE OR NATAL CHART?

A horoscope, or natal chart is a circular diagram of the heavens. It is erected to coincide with a specific time and date, on any given day and year. The astrologer calculates the time of birth or event. They use what is called an ephemeris. This book shows the planets precise position within the zodiac at any given time. As the Earth rotates on its axis, a different sign appears on the eastern horizon every two hours. This position is called the ascendant. When this position is properly calculated, the astrologer can then deline the chart, and place the proper zodiac signs in the 12 earth houses. Once this is completed, the astrologer can place each planet in the degrees of the zodiac sign at the time of birth. Then the horoscope is erected and ready to read.

The Planetary Ephemeris Program was developed in 1961 at the Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington Massachusetts. It was developed to aid navigational requirements by using the fixed stars in the heavens to calculate distance, time and position. It also coincides with the Greenwich Mean Time system. This is one of the most advanced astronomical almanacs, or ephemeris ever created. It has also been a heaven sent to all astrologers, for it allowed astrologers to cast much more accurate horoscopes.

The new computers and telescopes of today, can track the planets with incredible accuracy. The planet positions can now be computerized and calculated to any time in the future. It is interesting to note the planets can be charted not only in orbital position, but distance from the Sun. The planets transits can be calculated within one hundredth of a degree, at any give time, for the next 200 years. Nothing we know of on Earth, moves with that kind of precision. After 200 years of almanac evolution, the modern almanac is the ultimate calendar of the heavens.

The construction of the horoscope is usually based on the Ptolemaic system. The earth is stationary and the heavenly bodies move around it in fixed patterns. Astrologers have divided the heavens into 12 sections. Each section is governed by a different sign of the zodiac. The Sun, Moon and planets move through 12 fixed positions called houses. When the zodiac signs and houses have been established, the vibrational characteristics of the heavenly bodies, can be compared in geometrical, and angular placement in the natal chart. This information is then used to foretell events as related energies coincide with each other.

When understood these symbolic biorhythm patterns, provide much insight into the avenues of life, concerning the individual. The horoscope is the most valuable information we can hope to possess. The information contained within it, is revealing and informative to anyone on the path of spirituality. The horoscope contains information about all of the natural gifts and, unseen difficulties that we were born with.

You might say the horoscope is the blueprint of the soul, and our map of the future. Information gained from the horoscope, combined with a person’s heritage and place of birth, can open many doors of opportunity. It provides insight to why we are, the way we were born to be. This information can also provide us with knowledge that can improve every facet of life imaginable. Armed with this knowledge, we can lead happier, more productive lives. Thus avoiding many of the unseen pit falls of the material world. The amount of knowledge we possess, will determine the amount of freedom we’ll experience.

WHAT IS THE ASCENDANT?

You may have heard astrologers say, What is your ascendant or rising sign? The ascendant is always taken seriously in astrology. The three major aspects that are first considered by the astrologer are:

1. The sun sign is that part of the chart which influences the soul, or the conscious mind. The sun sign is most evident in the daytime, or between 6 A.M. and 6 P.M. The element of the conscious mind, is that energy we use when we are awake, or in a conscious state.

2. The moon sign influences the sub-conscious mind. These energies are like our memory banks for the brain. The sub-conscious helps us remember all that we encounter through experience or memory. The moon sign also influences the way we feel and has a great deal to do with the emotional body.

3. The ascendant, or physical self deals more with the material body. The ascendant even governs the facial appearance of the individual. It also represents the image we project to others and ourselves. It is the sign of the personality. The way the ascendant is found by an astrologer is to deline a person’s natal chart, or as some astrologers refer to as casting a horoscope. Imagine the circle of the zodiac around the Earth.

As the Earth orbits clockwise, it causes a different zodiac sign to appear every two hours on the eastern horizon. The sign on the eastern horizon, at the time of birth, is known as the ascendant or rising sign. The astrologer finds this information by calculating the time and place of birth, by using what is known as an ephemeris, a book that shows the planet positions. The planet positions are then added to the delined chart.

SUN SIGNS

12 Keys to the Soul

WHAT IS A SUN SIGN?

The term sun sign indicates what zodiac sign the Sun was position in during a person’s birth. For example, if you were born on February 12, on any given year, you are considered to be an Aquarian person by soul nature. If you were born on August 3, you are considered a Leo, etc. The sector, or house the Sun was transiting at the time of birth, indicates aspects of your conscious mind and soul nature. The word’s Sun, solar, and soul are all derived from the same root word. The Sun in all its beautiful splendor and might, affects every living thing on the outside and inside of our planet.

The Sun causes the seasons to change by its magnetic polarity, and distance from Earth. Many wondrous things are attributed to the Sun. Sunlight is most necessary for good health and cell reproduction. Sunlight is essential for mental, physical, and spiritual growth. If we study the Sun’s effects closely, we see how greatly it directly affects humanities psychological nature. The Sun’s position at birth suggests much about a person’s character and mental ability. No factor in a chart is more recognizable, or influential to the conscious mind. If the Sun is well positioned in the natal chart, harmony and success can easily manifest. If poorly positioned, soul growth and positive expressions will be more challenging. With a study of nature and Christ principals, we become captains of our own ship.

However, some of the greatest souls are often born in the harshest conditions of life. Any aspect can be beneficial if understood and accepted for what it truly is. Everything experienced in life is determined by the spirit we choose to express. In this chapter, we do not use the common names for the Sun signs such as the Ram, the Scorpion, or the Bull. These names refer to animals and creatures, and are not suitable to describe humans who were created in the image of God. Still, the characteristics of these symbols are often exhibited in the actions of the sun signs. Humans are the most important beings on Earth, superior to any other creature. God created humanity with the ability to reason, and gave him power to create. No other creature on Earth possesses more potential. It is for this reason that we refer to each sun sign by its higher image or spiritual purpose. Example:

What zodiac sign the Sun was in at birth, will indicate what natural abilities we possess within the conscious mind. The Moon will indicate abilities we possess within the subconscious mind. Mercury indicates how we mentally perceive life, Uranus indicates intelligence, Venus personal loves and so forth. This is very important to consider when evaluating a person’s natal chart. As astrologer’s places each planet in each sign of the natal chart, they can see a truer picture of what the soul incarnation was created for. Also, what it is supposed to be doing. There are twelve sun signs. They are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These signs are broken up into four categories of Fire, Earth, Air and Water. There are four Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable sun signs. Six of the signs are termed positive masculine, and six are termed negative feminine. When we become aware of the natural energies we were born with, it becomes easier to accept ourselves for who we truly are. Armed with just the information of a person’s sun sign, we could open up an instant avenue of communication and understanding.

Remember always, each person has many aspects in a natal chart besides the sun sign. Also remember that any subject as vast as astrology, will be subject to variations. For instance, we have seen charts with as many as 8 planets in one sign. People born around the cusp (the beginning or ending of a sign) will bare two different characteristics as well. Example: Someone born on November 26 would bare Scorpio and Sagittarius tendencies. We will also exhibit the constellations associated with each solar sign. So, with no further adieu we present The Sun or Solar Signs of Humanity.

ARIES

The Leader

Born Approximately

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19

Key Function

SPIRITUAL PROGRESSIVE IDEAS

SYMBOLS above: Aries bestows qualities of leadership, new beginnings, competition and constructive activity. They approach life with a zeal and aggression that is unmatched by few of the other sun signs. The positive Aries will normally deplore domination, pain and violence of any kind. Children are the truest expression of this sun sign, for they exhibit great enthusiasm and innocence. The ram is a classic example and symbol of the Aries nature. Rams are determined, powerful and unyielding. Like the ram, Aries people face problems ‘head-on.’

The ram is a Jewish symbol of the Old Testament, depicting the Ariean age. The ram was often sacrificed in religious ceremonies. The symbol of Aries depicts two crescent Moons inverted sideways, indicating a soul meant to pour out, not retain. The Aries energy urges humanity to produce new and progressive ideas. This function makes Aries an important element to humanity. Without new ideas we could never progress, or meet life’s many changing challenges. Through these positive new ideas, the Aries vibration helps us blossom physically, mentally and spiritually. The symbols of Pluto, the governing planet, and Aries are present on the previous cover. The symbol of Pluto, governing planet of Aries, consists of a perfect circle, the retaining crescent moon and the solar, or even cross.

The super-conscious circle is above the sub-conscious crescent moon and above the cross of matter. This powerful symbol signifies perfect balance and the qualities of rejuvenation and regeneration. The key words of Aries are: "I Will." This sun sign rules the head and face of the human body, especially the brow area. Ideas are born in the head and the eyebrows act as antennas that focus mental energies. Many Aries people have
