Invoking the blessings of Lord Ganesha the remover of obstacles, I am herewith starting the holy action of documenting our ancient wisdom for posterity handed down to us over centuries by sages and to me by my mother. I am merely the compiler, she is the writer and she is guided by the almighty. May the contents of this and future articles benefit all humankind.
From those venerable times to the present great minds have noted the influence of each planet in its dominance over the lives of men and no living being is too remote for this control. The easiest way to apply astrology is to see it as great searchlight trained on life and in it’s radiance once we have learned the code the past is explained the present clarified and the path of the future outlined.
It is false to believe that the astrological plan sets the final hand of fate upon events and people or that such a thing as bad luck is ordained. This is not true, astrology never says “ It can’t be done’ or “ you are completely out of luck”. Rather it tells us what can be done? how? And when? And in the words of an old Astrological quotation “ The Stars Incline but they do not Compel.”
By all this is meant that the stars in their courses and the planets in their signs and heavenly houses have each different influence upon our earthly life. These rays or vibrations cause us to be hasty or slow, bright or dull, calm or explosive according to their force. The planets bring conditions of wealth or poverty atmospheres of joy or sorrow, conflict or expansion.
All of these astrological forces help to shape our thoughts which in turn direct our actions. Rash explosive attitudes that suddenly overwhelm can always be justified by the person afflicted.
“The occasion demanded that outburst, the person involved will declare.”
It is such condition that can be averted through a knowledge of Astrology. If we are warned that rash actions will be the result of certain planets in their relation to the life no matter how deceptively right that behavior appears to us at the time we can hold a powerful check-rein on our emotions and save the situation. There is no combination of circumstances or emotions that is not conveyed to us by the heavenly bodies. When we know what to expect from these forces we can use the energy and take advantage of the opportunities offered us by the stars.
The Heavenly Houses twelve in number are stationary and each house has an environment or a special atmosphere all it’s own.
Traveling in and out among the heavenly houses are the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Each sign has it’s own influence which combines in meaning with whatever house it happens to be in at the time of the transit.
Lastly the planets weaving around the Zodiac add their mighty influence to the signs and houses. Therefore every individual’s character is a combination made up of House, Sign and Planet. After that individual birthdays will be analyzed.
