What is Esoteric Astrology?
Humanity is entering a 2,160 year cycle called the Age of Aquarius, where astrology
will gradually evolve toward that which is known as Esoteric Astrology.
Esoteric Astrology looks towards causes rather than effects, to the
life of the human soul that lies behind the outer form, the body.
The soul
is that imperishable, perpetual existence that takes repeated cyclic
embodiments - in male or female bodies and in varying cultures; part
of its purpose is to expand consciousness, and to work out karma. More...

Esoterically, Libra rules money and is associated with money for several reasons:
1. In northern hemisphere symbolism, The Scales of Libra represent the harvest of the previous sign Virgo, that is weighed, bartered or exchanged.
2. Libra is ruled by Venus, long associated with gold and wealth - in its lower outer expression. In its higher expression Venus is the radiant golden light of the illumined mind or the causal body. Venus also rules Taurus, another sign associated with money and its acquisition; esoterically Taurus is the 'mother of illumination'. Note the higher themes of light and illumination of which gold is the symbol. More...

Destiny of the Races
and Nations II:
Astrological and Ray
Cycles in History.
Phillip Lindsay
The author always endeavours to make practical this sometimes very abstruse science, hence there are many references to current world events such as the Japanese Tsunami, the Chilean Earthquake, World Kalachakra, Occupy Wall Street, the world financial crisis, the Wikileaks affair or the blending of races and cultures. There is a large section of essays on the United States of America.
The five planetary chakras is another subject that is explored in-depth, including the major centres in the USA. Likewise the destiny of South America and the Sixth Rootrace is investigated, with its connection to the Mayans, 2012 and the planetary centre we call Shamballa. More/Buy...

Last year's newsletter on Capricorn covers a little more about the Unicorn, its symbolism and relation to the Lion (Leo).[2] The unicorn is sometimes depicted with a goat's beard, perhaps symbolic of the wisdom accrued by the goat on its transformational journey to the mountain top.
The unicorn has always been a symbol of spiritual purity and grace; in ancient myths it could only be captured by a virgin, alluding to the relationship of Capricorn to another earth sign, Virgo.
The single horn was believed to transform poisoned water and to heal. Until the nineteenth century, belief in unicorns was widespread among historians, alchemists, writers, poets, naturalists, physicians and theologians.[3] The unicorn is also a symbol of transformation from the centaur in Sagittarius, the previous sign to Capricorn.

Aquarius
and the Fifth Rootrace:
The Coming Sixth Rootrace
A Brief Overview of History: Three Major Crises in the Three Rootraces
Although there are seven rootraces to every great round or manvantara of evolution, the first two and a half were etheric and did not ‘individualise’, hence three strictly human rootraces have elapsed. The crises of these three rootraces are symbolised by the following numbers – representing branchrace, subrace and rootrace:
3.3.3 – human individualisation, birth of the human soul in ancient Lemuria 21.6 million years ago.
4.4.4 – the Atlantean war and the physical destruction of Atlantis around 4 million years ago.
5.5.5 – culmination of the development of manas or mind around 2,000 CE – 16,000 CE.
These are not just ‘convenient’ figures (although they serve as such), but are profoundly descriptive of stages of consciousness that mark the major signposts of esoteric history. More...

A Brief Esoteric History:
Evolution of Consciousness
through the Rootraces
The secret history of the world is revealed in many traditions, the durations of which far surpass the miniscule figures used in modern times. H.P. Blavatsky (HPB) brought together many of these historical and chronological strands in her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine (1888), a major foundation stone for the emerging Aquarian cycle.
Throughout HPB’s works are scattered details of this ancient history – culled from the Vedas, Upanishads, the Zend Avesta, Old Testament and so forth.
(In the interests of simplicity, I have elected to keep this article relatively footnote-free; most references are from HPB and can be found in my writings where they are fully referenced and footnoted.[1])
In the denial or ignorance of its true origins lies the source of disempowerment for Humanity; in not knowing its divine source, the nature of the human soul or the very lengthy evolution of human consciousness that stretches back some 21 million years. More...

Cusco, Peru: Home of the Sun God
Semana Santa (Easter Week), Cusco.
Señor de los Temblores:
Christ of the Earthquakes
Jesus and the Roman Catholic Church
Exaltation of the Sun in Aries
Fourth Initiation of Jesus
Resurrection and Ascension
Finding myself in Cuzco Peru, writing the Aries newsletter seems most appropriate, why? Because the Sun is exalted in Aries and Cusco is the home of the Incan sun god. At the winter solstice every year at 0 degrees Cancer, the Incas summoned the Sun god through a spectacular festival called Inti Raymi, still celebrated on June 22 every year. When the sun was at its furthest distance from the equator, the sun deity would be invoked, entreating him to draw nearer, lest he be lost in the dark cosmos, praying for a good harvest and protection against famine and hunger.
Aries is one arm of the cardinal cross that it shares with Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The same significance of this southern hemisphere festival can be applied for Capricorn in the northern hemisphere. The cardinal cross traces the journey of the Sun through the two equinoxes and two solstices every year. Perhaps this is why Cusco was regarded as the 'four-sided sun empire'. More...

This essay explores the problem of TIME as applied to human history thus far unfolded; it looks at the dating methods of science and precession cycles used by the ancients in traditions such as the Hindu, Egyptian and Mayan civilisations. Some highlights of the past are examined, such as the origin of the human soul, the mystery of how apes were created, why the great Atlantean war and subsequent cataclysm ensued, through to the present day, into the next rootrace.
In many disciplines, whether it is consensus or alternative archeology, anthropology, geology or other sciences, a major problem within and between these sciences is the factor of time. The lack of a clear perception about TIME and the true historical chronology of this planet is the major impasse that is preventing a clear understanding of human history. More...

The Five Planetary Centres, Part II
The Master Djwhal Khul, who has given the teachings for the New Age, said that He purposefully scattered the teachings in all His books, to force the student to make connections, so as to awake the dormant cells in the brain and arrive at right understanding independently.
It is clear therefore, that each student has to do this work of connecting by themselves and to arrive at their own personal conclusion. DK also said that students grow by finding the answer to their own questions and nobody should do it for them. Hence no student should expect to find the right presentation of thought given by anyone and that they all have to work by themselves. More...

An

Analysis
This essay explores the rise of Nazism in Germany from the period of the Industrial Revolution in Europe through the time of Bismarck, until World War II. Horoscopes of the various protagonists are examined and compared so that a picture emerges of the forces that helped to shape one of the most significant events of the Twentieth century.
To paraphrase the great philosopher George Santayana, those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Hence, the importance of understanding history so Humanity does not stay bound to the wheel of samsara; just as individual souls learn their repeated lessons over many lifetimes, eventually liberating themselves, contributing to the greater pool of collective consciousness.

Become
as Little
Children:
The New
World
Religion
The Master Jesus once said: “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
“At the first great Initiation the Christ is born in the disciple. It is then that he realizes for the first time in himself the outpouring of the divine Love, and experiences that marvellous change which makes him feel himself to be one with all that lives. This is the `Second Birth,' and at that birth the heavenly ones rejoice, for he is born into `the kingdom of heaven,' as one of the `little ones,' as a `little child'—the names ever given to the new Initiates. Such is the meaning of the words of Jesus, that a man must become a little child to enter into the Kingdom."
Some of you may think this as very basic and even platitudinous, and it is. Nevertheless, it is still a healthy attitude to maintain in this age of claim-making, false prophets and over-blown egos – even in the field of occultism. How our innocence can be taken over by blind ambition, when aspiring to become a ‘rich young man’. The innocent becomes the worldly and world-weary. How do we maintain that balance? Utter simplicity is one key to staying childlike. More...

Glamour:
A
Change

Attitude
(Transcript USR Conference 2011)
The Methuselah Project is an initiative started in 2007 by a group of students of the Ageless Wisdom that seeks to address the world glamour related to the Jews. We are well aware of the controversy and the difficulties surrounding the Jewish situation. The separativeness which seems to be inbuilt in the Jewish people and a corresponding rejection by the rest of the world has compounded an ancient and deep-seated glamour.
The Master Djwhal Khul (D.K.) has called this a major world problem, and has stated that because of its great significance, it is definitely part of his Ashram’s work.
Hence The Methuselah Project seeks to contribute to the New Group of World Servers a fresh understanding, through the creation of a new thought-form that will absorb and redeem the old one. The Methuselah Project also gives subjective support to all individuals and groups who are seeking solutions to the Jewish question.
In order to heal this world problem, we need to make the effort to look beyond and beneath the outer appearance, penetrating deep into the roots. More...

However, Taurus or the Wesak Festival is the most important of these three full moon periods - a time of unique opportunity, particularly for co-perative group work by those conscious servers of the Plan:
"Endeavour to make the Wesak Festival a universal festival and known to be of value to all people of all faiths. It is the festival in which the two divine Leaders, of the East and of the West, collaborate together and work in the closest spiritual union; the Christ and the Buddha use this festival each year as the point of inspiration for the coming year's work. See that you do likewise. The spiritual energies are then uniquely available." More...

As the Sixth Rootrace does not manifest for another 25,000 years, the reference to ‘Brazil’ (‘what that country will then be called‘) probably includes an area across South America that incorporates other nations like neighbouring Bolivia and Peru. More...

As reiterated every year in these newsletters, Gemini is the third of three festivals that set the tone for the new spiritual year that begun in Aries (March 21). It is important to be reminded of this, when we live in a culture that utilises Capricorn (Dec 31) as the end of the year, throwing a veil of illusion over the spiritual forces with which we seek to synchronise. This is certainly the case when considering the lower expression of Capricorn - work finishing for the year followed by holidays, the materialism of Christmas etc. More ...

The Sun is exalted in Aries and its yearly passage into this sign marks not only the spiritual new year, but reminds us of a broader consciousness that exists within the greater solar system, beyond the realm of Earth. If evolution is to proceed as it should, then each new cycle brings a greater frequency on a higher turn of the spiral. No less so with the beginning of the spiritual new year in Aries, where the harvest of sattvas from the previous year are built into the foundation of this new year. More...

Quixote is a story about a man whose ideals about knights and chivalry distorts

that is ordinary takes on grandiose interpretations in the imagination of Don
Quixote, so that even windmills become 'giants' worthy of attack by his horse

Full moon periods are always
an opportune moment to explore zodiac polarities because the Sun and Moon are
always in opposite signs. In this waning age of Pisces, Virgo has been an
important zodiac influence because it is the sign opposite to Pisces, part of
the mutable cross. As humanity has struggled to balance this duality over the
past 2,160-year cycle, the sign of Virgo has found a powerful expression for
better and worse. More.....
