Esoteric Astrology Series

Esoteric Astrology – A New Astrology for a New Millennium Volume One - The Signs, Planets and Houses of the Horoscope This publication takes a new and revitalised look at astrology. It is simple to understand, yet remains a powerful           tool, capable of providing a solid foundation for the comprehension of this broad and magnificent subject. This textbook, like most of Dr. Baker's printed books, eBooks and DVDs, enhances your studies via many charts, lists, tables and images (over 100 in this one). This major work is a very comprehensive introduction for those who want to study this subject in earnest, and for the more advanced student it will serve as an essential reference manual. In today's computer-based world it is no longer necessary to spend hours calculating a horoscope when the most modest PCs can do it in seconds, and with 100% accuracy! Consequently, the needless paraphernalia, usually associated with learning astrology, has been stripped away. Emphasis is placed on the application of astrology to the unique problems of the modern world, its use as a method of revealing purpose and meaning in life, and ultimately as a key to the psychosynthesis of personality. The horoscope is described in comprehensive detail, with special attention given to the esoteric ruling planets of the zodiac signs, which are more relevant than orthodox rulers in the charts of spiritually-minded people. The new rulers also accommodate the immense changes in external conditions and inner consciousness that have occurred in the last hundred years and are related to a new range of experience which the brain registers as the externa of the modern world. The significance of karma is represented for it gives dramatic effect to our daily actions, and the third factor of esoteric psychology, lying beyond our understanding of heredity and environment, is given full prominence. This integrative and enriching work can be read alone, as a fascinating introduction and foundation to the New Astrology, or can be followed up with the author's extensive range of astrological books and video tapes, audio lectures and the all-embracing Dictionary of Astrology for the 21st Century. Together they provide a complete system for the professional and novice alike, containing efficient and extraordinary techniques of interpretation which have never been used before and which halve the time required to assimilate and practise astrology.

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY - VOL. 9 INTERCEPTED SIGNS - First House thru Sixth House Intercepted Signs are not a rarity in esoteric astrology. Probably a quarter of the world's population is involved. It is a rarity to find them adequately dealt with in a horoscope. Volume 9 and 10 help to remedy this situation. An intercepted Sign indicates the element of being "boxed in", if only in the sense of peoples ice-bound during winter in the far northern hemisphere and in the sea-locked fiords. But, out of even these extremes may emerge the superlative (First House) of some quality which carries in it genius and existentialism reminiscent of the fiery Norsemen themselves, with their red, flaming hair, First Ray physical bodies and propensity (bent — Twelfth House) for navigation, exploration and colonization, thereby expressing and spreading the initial and rare qualities of the emerging Anglo-Saxon sub-race.  "Intercepted" in astrology means a Sign which lies between two houses without occupying the cusp of either. Intercepted charts usually emerge where the native is born in extreme latitudes, north or south, and may even produce four intercepted Signs. Whilst esoteric astrology is primarily concerned with the hegemony of the soul as it progressively asserts itself in the life of the individual, it is also capable of providing the personality with direction and useful advice. When we are dealing with Man on the Path, a far, far more accurate an interpretation of his situation, its potentials and limitations for expression is given here by using the esoteric rulers of the Signs of the Zodiac as demonstrated in esoteric astrology. The development of the computer has made the horoscope available to the millions, and it is but a matter of time before the same computers begin to sieve out the "real from the unreal." In the end, however, the real is only discovered within, and the fullest exposition of esoteric astrology gives the keys to such discoveries within and their correlation to wide and more universal principles. To ignore the individual horoscope is to leave astrology, esoteric or exoteric, with feet of clay. What this writing represents is a wiser and more psychosynthetic interpretation of the horoscope. Thus, providing the interpreter views the horoscope from a point of higher synthesis, the most accurate interpretation of a personality matter may be gauged from particular astrological aspects. Bailey herself, or the Tibetan Master through her, gave the key to the psychosynthetic approach by allocating esoteric rulerships to the Signs for Man on the Path and a further set of rulers, called "hierarchical", which apply to those disciples who are initiate and engaged in the work of the Hierarchy of this planet, as It implements the Divine Plan for the Earth.

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY - VOL. 7 THE SOUL'S PURPOSE, CASES 1 - 16 This very important work is based on an analysis of the horoscope, placing emphasis on the Rising Sign as it expresses the Soul's Purpose and its nuances. Thus, the universal approach is yet maintained but brought to bear on the specific or existential features of the individual's horoscope. Via 16 detailed analyses in this volume, the earnest student or professional astrologer is given in-depth information regarding Karma, previous lives, chakras, myth, objects for meditation, the Ray of the Soul and of course, the Soul's purpose for the personality. (Vol. 8 treats cases 17 – 33.) The introductory section explains: Symbols and Methods used Planetary Rulers Chart Interpretation Permutations in Basic Symbols Compound Complexes The Rising Sign House Cusps Sun — Earth Opposition Astrological Parsing Literal Parsing Aspects Use of Angular Aspects Planet — Sign — House Influences Intercepted Signs Retrograde Planets Karmic Indications in the Horoscope Whilst esoteric astrology is primarily concerned with the hegemony of the soul as it progressively asserts itself in the life of the individual, it is also capable of providing the personality with direction and useful advice.

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY - VOL. 6 Colloquialisms and Clichés This volume is a unique dictionary of permutations in the form of colloquial sayings and clichés, translated into their astrological equivalents. A very valuable reference work for those interpreting astrological charts. The modes of expressing a language may indicate powerful subjective forces at play deep in the unconscious structure of the Race using that language. This is particularly true of English which has become the international language, for reasons not entirely connected with political developments. The virility of the Anglo-Saxon sub-race is based largely on esoteric foundations as anyone will soon find if he studies a simple handbook of Theosophy. Idiomatic language reflects the character of the people expressing it and releases numinous energies from their unconscious. Anyone who understands the significance of the mantram, of invocations and words of power will quickly apprehend the energies that lie packaged with proverbs, which themselves are surfacings of racial wisdom. Energy and meaning underlie words as much as they do images and thoughts.   Collective unconscious ──────► Archetypes Deep (racial) unconscious  ────► Myth, legend and fable Individual's Soul's purpose ───► Precepts Superficial (racial) unconscious ─► Proverbs Individual's personal ───────► cliché, unconscious conversationism & colloquialism   By correlating any of the above with the appropriate astrological aspect for it, related meanings and energies lying deeply or superficially in the native's unconscious or openly in his personality are quickly revealed. The deeper structures, when they are related through their astrological aspect directly to the Rising Sign and its esoteric ruler, etc., are indicative of the native's Soul's purpose. Permutations of any aspect reveal meanings covering the whole range of a person's nature, from the level of his Soul right through to the components of his personality, from psyche and Self to ego.

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY - Vol. 11 NEPTUNE RETROGRADE   The Theory, Interpretation and Practice of Esoteric Astrology A Comprehensive Exploration of the Subject The retrograde glyph is the doctor's sign for a prescription, but it is also the spiritual signpost or omen of the approaching Path. The omen can only be read and appreciated by those who have eyes (spiritual insight) to see it. Such people are ready for the Path or have already taken to it. The twelve ruling planets are descriptive of human consciousness. In the man who sees sufficiently to look elsewhere than the material world for his expression and inspiration, their retrogressions are equated with spiritual opportunity. Planets become 'sacred' when they go into retrograde motion, providing the individual is sufficiently developed to respond to these retrograding qualities; certainly some of humanity is unable to put them to any significant use. It is possible to give catchwords and phrases to retrograde planets, and these can be very much simplified for the purpose of cursory interpretations of charts. Spiritual awareness, however, requires that we provide backup for the general, overall meanings of them. This takes the form of detailed references to 144 horoscopes, covering Neptune retrograde through all the Signs and Houses. These interpretations are in most instances carefully parsed to show that meanings are not arbitrary but very specific, and precisely correspondent to the aspect being interpreted.

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY – VOL. 10 INTERCEPTED SIGNS - Seventh House thru Twelfth House Intercepted Signs are not a rarity in esoteric astrology. Probably a quarter of the world's population is involved. It is a rarity to find them adequately dealt with in a horoscope. Volume 9 and 10 help to remedy this situation.
