Relative Astrology and Physics

[godexpressing]

• A few Esoteric astrologers have said (like Alice Bailey), that the energy first emerged from the archetype sign constelations, then was focused/ filtered in our solar system in each planet and directed towards our geometrical alignment in Earth (houses) and influencing our being through our mental, astral and physical bodies, through our chakras.
  

I don't see the constellations having any effect on us. I see the zodiac as the seasons of the Earth. One degree Aries is the first day of Spring. I view the energies of the zodiac as coming from within our own Logos or solar system. Actually, I see the zodiac and all horoscope symbols as purely symbolic.

For example, when Saturn activites a natal planet by transit, I do not believe the actual planet plays any role other than serving as a timer. The most powerful horoscope events are progressions, and they are based upon a day for a year. They do not occur in "present" time.

I see it more like a college course schedule or a class syllabus. Certain events, lessons and tests are planned in advance and unfold throughout the school year. A horoscope works the same way. You intentionally enter the world at a specific time and place. The transits and progressions then serve as timers for your catalysts to reveal themselves.

This is a very interesting point. How do you see the distinction between Sun located in Aries and in first house? For me, it looks similar, but it is a different energy. Sun in Aries is just an energy, like you said, while Sun in first house is Sun expressed through a self-defining material experience, like you said. There are differences. You could say it's like comparing apples with lemons.

I view each combination of element and mode as a spiritual principle. Cardinal Fire is the principle of free will. This principle is expressed through Mars, the first house and Aries.

I see Mars as the awareness of your will and the desire to be in control over your own life.
I see the First House as situations where your will is challenged. This could be obstacles to overcome or even other people trying to control your life for you.
I see Aries as behavior where you try to impress your will upon others.

namaste,
