Dear Friends of the Ageless Wisdom, Esoteric Astrology Adventures 126 sections a., b., and c., 127 sections a., b., and c., 128 section a., 129 section a., and 130 section a. have been posted on Makara in video and audio formats. makara.us/04mdr/webinars/esotericastrology.html EAA Content 126 a., b., c., a. p. 490-494 1. Several constellations find themselves in more than one ray triangle. 2. When a ray triangle has only one constellation which is placed in more than on triangle, then the ray passing through that triangle may be relatively inactive. Such is the case with the fourth ray today, as Taurus and Scorpio are not placed in any other ray triangle. 3. It appears that while Capricorn is usually considered the major transmitter of R7, Aries in the R7 triangle can be considered “most active”. This must be clarified. 4. Five of the constellations are found in only one ray triangle; these are, Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio and Aquarius. 5. When the fourth ray becomes exoterically active, Taurus will be considered an active point in the R4 triangle, which is not now the case. 6. Scorpio is esoterically active in relation to the tests and trials of disciples as they are prepared for initiation. 7. Gemini is the relatively inactive point in the second ray triangle. 8. Libra is relatively inactive in the ray three triangle because there is no true balance in the world today. This will change as Libra grows in power in the planetary horoscope. 9. Capricorn leads esoterically to the externalization of the mysteries. 10. The ray five triangle will soon revolve making Aquarius the predominating point in that triangle. 11. The ray five triangle of Leo/Sagittarius/Aquarius governs the relation of humanity to the Hierarchy through the mind. 12. The work of the ray five triangle is discussed in relation to the history of humanity and to the three degrees of Masonry. (Very important.) 13. These three signs are also correlated with the past, present and future: Sagittarius—past; Leo—present; Aquarius—future. 14. Our theme is always the evolution of consciousness. 15. The Solar Angel, called by many names in various traditions, must be brought into the seat of power. 16. This task is entrusted to the three Great Lords who rule: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius—the three air signs or constellations. 17. Our little planet is not of real or focal concern to these three Great Lives. 18. The probably of response to and interpretation of environing contacts is found particularly on the non-sacred planets but overall throughout the solar system. 19. In our solar system, the major theme of “response to contact”. 20. Wonderful definitions of love, wisdom and service: “Love is response to contact and this—in the human being—means understanding, inclusiveness and identification. Wisdom connotes skill in action as the result of developed love and the light of understanding; it is awareness of requirements and ability to bring together into a fused relationship the need and that which will meet it. Service is essentially a scientific mode of expressing love-wisdom under the influence of one or other of the seven rays, according to the soul ray of the serving disciple.” b. p. 494-496 1. As humanity can understand it, the goal of the evolutionary process in relation to our Planetary Logos is to render the planet sacred, and thus more integrated into the logoic body of expression. 2. Gemini—Libra—Aquarius bring about the final stages of mental unfoldment during the later stages of the Path. They bring about Illumination. 3. Illumination is a synthesis of instinct, intellect and intuition. 4. In the book, there follow three excellent descriptions of the functions of these three air signs. The briefest summaries will follow here. For more elaboration, please listen to the commentaries. 5. Through Gemini “the Messenger and the Angel exchange their understanding”. Mercury and Venus are involves; so also, the human being and the Solar Angel. 6. Through Libra the “super-mind” is brought into expression. Is this buddhic or atmic? The super-mind is the response of the illumined mind to the Mind of God. 7. Aquarius is closely related to the Universal Mind. It :expresses the activity of the mind which has been initiated into the purposes of the Universal Mind.” 8. Certain great triangles affect the mental response apparatus of humanity. To the one above, two others can be added. All three are listed below a. Gemini—Libra—Aquarius b. Taurus—Scorpio—Capricorn c. Sagittarius—Cancer—Leo 9. All three are discussed in detail and their interrelationships noted. 10. Also noted are the relationships of these constellations to those planets which are active in developing and expressing the mind. 11. Another important “triangle in consciousness” is Cancer/Leo/Aquarius 12. These three are largely responsibility of the growth of human understanding and the developing both of the human response apparatus but also the relationship between human consciousness and its response apparatus. 13. These three eventually produce identification with the divine essence underlying form. 14. The keynote of the fourth initiation in terms of form, consciousness and identification: “identification with that which is the subjective and real Self and the consequent withdrawing from that which is the not-Self” 15. Cancer—Leo—Aquarius: from instinctual mass consciousness, to intellectual self-consciousness, to eventual superconsciousness in Aquarius. 16. The triangles are living, moving, focusing and transmitting. 17. The triangles will underlie the entire manifested universe. c. p. 496-500 1. The domain of exoteric astrology concern “the world of tangible happenings, precipitated events, and personal characteristics.” From these the Tibetan has shifted our attention. 2. Esoteric astrology is concerned with “the world of conditioning energies, controlling incentives, impulses and causes…” 3. What is presented in the book, Esoteric Astrology, is but the first dim outline of the astrology of the soul. 4. DK’s presentation of esoteric astrology is revolutionary in nature and unwelcomed by many. 5. Two fundamental ideas in the new esoteric astrology are as follows: a. The reversal of the disciple upon the Wheel of Life. b. The influence of the Rising-sign. 6. Master DK hoped to elicit from us a sense of the vastness of the astrological theme. 7. Astrological must argue from the universal to the particular in presenting the astrology of the soul. 8. The charting of the personality horoscope is still of value for those traveling clockwise around the wheel. 9. The new astrology is “the astrology of the human consciousness, of the solar angel, of the son of mind, the spiritual man.” 10. Among aspirants, disciples and initiates, the new esoteric astrology should now be proving its usefulness. 11. New meditations on astrological will be forthcoming helping the human being to brighten the “web of life” and the individual to do the same relative to his individual “web of life”, the etheric body. 12. Esoteric astrology will help the disciple live the “dual life of discipleship”. 13. The Science of Triangles is “a science which concerns the entire subjective pattern of manifestation and the significance of which is closely inter-related with the Trinity of manifestation”. 14. The Science of Triangles deals with Life, Quality and Appearance. 15. The “seed thoughts” conveyed in this brief exposition of the Science of Triangles will lead to the development of the Science of Relations. 16. There are here presented three interrelated sciences: The Science of Triangles; the Science of Etheric Structure or Substance; the Science of Relations. 17. The ability of man to live the vertical life of the spirit and the horizontal life of relationship will grow with every decade and man will transcend himself. 18. The blasting away of the thick crust of thoughtforms will allow a new type of receptivity to the higher energies and a true understanding of the Science of Triangles. 19. Humanity’s emergence from the thraldom of matter parallels the descent of spirit upon opposing matter. EAA Content 127 a., b., c., a. p. 503-503 1. The subject now is “Sacred and Non-Sacred Planets”. 2. What can here be said by the Tibetan is limited by the fact that the subject concerns great and major mysteries of initiation. 3. This subject concerns the status of the Planetary Logos and their objectives on the Cosmic Path of Evolution. 4. A planet is considered sacred when its Logos has taken five of the major planetary initiations. This statement causes some problems which have to be carefully analysed. What, really, is a major initiation of a Planetary Logos? 5. A non-sacred planet is one whose Logos has not taken these five major initiations. 6. The degree of logoic inclusivity is related to this question of the sacredness of any Planetary Logos. 7. There follows a discussion of the way in which the human being is developing inclusivity and how the higher initiations open to the human being give him a hugely expanded range of consciousness. 8. The higher initiations endow man with “freedom of the planet.” 9. Do man’s five major initiations start with the first initiation or the third initiation? Only the seventh degree initiate has true “freedom of the planet” and is developing extra planetary awareness. b. p. 503-507 1. The Logoi of non-sacred planets are becoming aware of all that lies within the solar systemic ring-pass-not. 2. Such Logoi are also developing response to the quality of life which informs the Sun, Sirius. 3. DK tells us that the Logos of a sacred planet has taken “three cosmic initiations”. Such a Logos is the Logos of our Earth-scheme, who has taken three initiations and is working on a fourth. However, should these initiations be considered “cosmic”. 4. Discussions follows on the varying use of the term “cosmic” when discussing the initiations of Planetary Logoi and Solar Logoi. 5. The Logoi of sacred planets are aware of all that lies within our solar system; is conscious of and vitally responsive to the Life of Sirius; and are beginning to respond consciously to the Pleiades. 6. The Pleiades embody not only the Intelligence Aspect but express that Principle of Life we call vitality or prana. 7. The Logos of a sacred planet has taken five cosmic initiations. Again, we have to be cautious re the use of the word “cosmic”, because there are two series of initiations open to both the Planetary Logoi and the Solar Logoi. 8. There are “major cosmic initiations”, “cosmic initiations” and lesser initiations which can be called “cosmic” in some contexts. Sometimes the terms “major cosmic initiations” and “cosmic initiations” are considered equivalent, and the lesser initiations are even called “cosmic”. 9. A name for a Solar Logos: “the Sacred Triangle of all-inclusive Force” because the Great Bear, Sirius and the Pleiades are included with the range of awareness of a Solar Logos. 10. There are three types of “cosmic” initiations pertaining to the three types of B/beings under discussion: one type for the human being, another for the Planetary Logoi, and still another for Solar Logoi. 11. The highest initiate on our planet has no faintest notion of the initiations which the Solar Logos has taken. Does this mean that our Planetary Logos has no such conception? 12. DK reminds us that there are unrevealed divine aspects and characteristics—beyond the normal three with which we are familiar. 13. A discussion of the “unknown divine attributes” would be meaningless to us. 14. Four more divine aspects (or attributes) are to be revealed in our solar system. 15. The Planetary Logoi are cultivating an awareness of these remaining four. Man cannot presently fathom them. 16. There is a parallel between the consciousness of a human being up to and including the third initiation and the consciousness of the Logos of a non-sacred planet. Two divine aspects, soul and personality, are in process of intimate relation. 17. The Logos of a sacred planet is involved in incorporating into His consciousness, awareness of the Monad. 18. There is an extensive discussion here on planetary initiation, and the various higher initiations involved. 19. When dealing with the houses of the horoscope, astrologers must take into consideration whether the planet associated with the house is a sacred planet or not. 20. A non-sacred planet deals primarily with life in the three worlds while a sacred planet deals with the fusion of consciousness and form as well as a quickening of the intuition. 21. The intuition is considered the lower aspect of the Monad. 22. DK lists the sacred planets in order from the Sun except that He reverses Neptune and Uranus, perhaps because of Neptune’s special status in this solar system. 23. DK lists the non-sacred planets indicating that both the Moon and Sun each veil a planet. The planet the Moon veils in this case is “hidden”. This is not specified with respect to the planet veiled by the Sun. c. p. 507-509 1. The houses are considered “the lesser zodiac”. 2. The non-sacred planets rule houses one, four, five and eight. The Earth is a non-sacred planet and can be associated with house two or six. A discussion is offered. 3. The lower man has four aspects by the enumeration here given. The outer physical body is separated in this enumeration from the etheric body. The personality is considered the fifth vehicle. 4. It occurs that the number five associated with the personality can justify the use of the inverted pentagram as an appropriate symbol. 5. The Kingdom of God is considered a “veiled” kingdom. The other and lower four are unveiled. 6. When considering Aries, Cancer, Leo and Scorpio, we can consider Cancer and Leo as ruled by sacred planets and Scorpio as ruled by an esoteric planet, Pluto (esoteric but not sacred). 7. Mars is the alter-ego of Pluto as Venus is the alter-ego of Earth. 8. Pluto is in the midst of an “esoteric approach” to the Earth. 9. The Earth, Mars and Pluto form an important triangle related to the three aspects of the personality, with Venus playing the part of the soul. 10. There are reasons to consider either Mars or Pluto as ruling either the astral body or the lower mind. 11. The triangle of Earth/Mars/Pluto may be a major determining triangle for the individual who is about to pass onto the Path of Probation. 12. The four houses governed by the four non-sacred planets, excluding the Sun, are “houses of the personality mundanely oriented”. 13. The remaining planets governed by the sacred planets are not so material or so exoterically oriented. 14. Yet all houses serve to place limitations on the expanding consciousness. 15. A list of all planets and the houses they may rule is proposed. There enters the ambiguity of the house which is to be ruled by the non-sacred planet the Earth. 16. The first house is the house of “action in the physical body”. This is house of one who fights for what he desires. 17. “Aries, the first house, and Mars and the Earth initiate conflict, focussed in a form.” 18. In the fourth house the form is the custodian of the spiritual essence. It is a house of ”Harmony-through-Conflict" 19. The Sun as transmitter of second ray force rules the fifth house—the “mansion of the soul” or causal body. Leo is also involved. 20. Sacredly, the spiritual man in the fifth house can say: “"I am the eternal cause of all relation. I am and I exist." 21. The dualism of the second ray is first realized in the fifth house. 22. Pluto transmitting the first ray rules the eighth house of “major separations and death”. 23. The soul shoots the arrow of death. 24. The upward pointing arrow is the true astrological symbol of Pluto. 25. Sun and Moon veil certain planets only in the present cycle. Later they will not be veiled. 26. The majority of human beings are not tuned to the reception of vibrations from Vulcan, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are often “veiled”. 27. Only disciples and groups can respond to Pluto consciously. 28. Vulcan a sacred planet is never an exoteric ruler. 29. Uranus and Neptune rule the eleventh and twelfth house respectively. Their true nature expresses during the later stages of the Path. EAA 128 a., p. 509 - 511 1. The houses are the “prison of the soul”. 2. In DK’s view, modern astrologers have worked out the meaning of the houses relatively satisfactorily. 3. DK offers some suggestions for astrological interpretation. 4. The modern astrologer should substitute the esoteric planets for the exoteric planets, and will find confirmation of Master DK’s ideas. 5. The astrologer should distinguish between the sacred planets and the non-sacred planets; he will find that the sacred planets fuse the soul and personality. 6. The non-sacred planets influence the form nature. 7. The modern astrologer should study the fluid area of the veiled planets. He must determine the point of evolution reached and which of the veiled planets is the ruler. 8. In using the exoteric planets the astrologer will throw much light upon the life of those upon the Path of Probation. In using the sacred planets, much light will be thrown upon the life of disciples. 9. Astrologers should consider the three suggestions above; then much progress will be made towards the unveiling of the astrology of the soul. 10. DK suggests that astrologers should work out the higher correspondences of the more material and concrete meanings of the houses. 11. He discusses the lower and higher correspondences of the first two houses. 12. The organs of the body are included, and in the higher interpretation, the chakric correspondences to those organs. 13. The illuminative energies of Taurus are active in the second house. So are the energies of Venus—“the endower of mind plus the embodied soul”. 14. The second house as the “house of values—material and spiritual”. 15. The remainder of 128 a., is given to a comparative analysis of the first four houses. The attempt has been made to follow the Tibetan’s instructions and work out the higher correspondences to the more material and concrete meanings of the houses. EAA 129 a., p. (Still on p. 511, as the higher correspondences to the usual house meanings are being worked out. 1. Ongoing attempt to work out the higher correspondences for houses five, six, seven and eight. 2. The corresponding chakras are offered in each. 3. Meanings which indicate the influence of the soul in the areas of experience ruled are also offered. EAA 130 a. (Finishing the tabulation which deals with the higher meanings of the houses.) 1. Ongoing attempt to work out the higher correspondences for houses nine, ten, eleven, twelve—corresponding to the signs Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. 2. The corresponding chakras are offered in each. 3. Meanings which indicate the influence of the soul in the areas of experience ruled are also offered. Michael, as always, sends his ongoing encouragement for your study and assimilation of the Ageless Wisdom. In brotherhood, Brett Mitchell
