Astrological Significance of Each Egyptian Tarot Card, Part XXIIIThe Materialist

Elbert Benjamine

November 1938American Astrology Magazine

Until the discovery ofPluto was announced to

the world on March 13, 1930,and from its positions in vari-ous birth charts we had beenable to study the influence itexerts upon human life anddestiny, Major Arcanum XXIIof the tarot was a mystifyingparadox. It always was consid-ered as possessing an alterna-tive interpretation. It was thuseither number 22 or theno-numbered card representedby zero.

Sometimes it was viewed asthe man who recognizes theimpermanence and worthless-ness of the dross and tinsel andoutward display for whichmany devote the energies oftheir lives, and who renounc-ing all such show and physicalgain, is spiritually wise butseems merely materially fool-ish. More often it was consid-ered the reverse of this; as theman who turns his back on thelight of spirit, believes thephysical is the all of life, andthus on the plane of the preda-tory brutes, struggles only formaterial advantage, withmercy to none who stands in his

way. Considered from thisview the card has come to beknown as THE MATERI-ALIST.

Given to it as its astrologi-cal correspondence wasthe unknown planet. Buttoday the planet no longeris unknown, and now thatwe have had opportunityfor eight years intensivelyto study the action of Plutoin thousands of bir thcharts, we perceive withadmiration how preciselythe ancients, who probablyknew of the planet onlythrough their psychic fac-ulties, portrayed its charac-teristics in the Materialisttarot card.

The most outstandingcharacteristic of Pluto isthe two opposing sides ofits nature. It never is weakand timid, never vacillat-ing. It always is very bad orvery good; exceptionallybrutal or unusually spiri-tual; influencing towardthe most atrocious crimesand giving us the racke-

Contemplating the Mysterious

Christopher Gibson

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and sci-ence.” Albert Einstein - US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

This Quarterly marks the end of a six year cycle in whichwe have featured articles on the Astrological Signifi-

cance of Each Egyptian Tarot Card written by ElbertBenjamine during the late 1930’s for American AstrologyMagazine. This particular article, published in November1938, features Arcanum XXII, ruled by Pluto which isknown in most decks as ‘The Fool’ and is referred to alter-nately in The Sacred Tarot as The Materialist or The Spiritu-alist.

Prior to its discovery in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, Plutowas alluded to as “The Dark Orb” or “Planet X”. Pluto, whois named after the lord of the underworld, is gravitationallylocked to Charon the ferryman of the dead as they revolvearound each other every 6.387 days. It is not yet clear ifCharon is one of the moons of Pluto, or if it is a binary planetsystem. The binary nature of this planet might explain whyit rules such diametrically opposed ideas such as coopera-tion/compulsion, or materialism/spiritualism.

In the cover article Benjamine describes the apparent con-tradictions of this card as a “mystifying paradox”. On Au-gust 24, 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet bythe scientific community. Pluto’s short life span as a recog-nized planet might be part of that paradox. However, after76 years of observation, Church of Light astrologers viewPluto as being psychologically significant, representing theUniversal Welfare Urges of the subconscious and will con-tinue to work with Pluto’s placement within the horoscope.

The spiritual lessons of Pluto are indeed a “mystifying para-dox” which we must contemplate. If one were to considerthe Major Arcanum of the tarot as a contiguous whole,Arcanum XXII can be likened to the clasp on a necklace orbracelet which connects both beginning and end. For somestudents of the tarot this card represents the number 0, forothers it is numerically 22. Like the clasp on the necklace itcan be the ‘alpha’ or the ‘omega’; the beginning or the enduniting one cycle of experience to the next level.

Arcanum 0 or XXII is pictured in most decks of tarot as avagabond, carrying all his worldly possessions in a knap-sack, heading towards the edge of a cliff, with a yappingdog pulling at his trousers, perhaps holding him back fromuncertain fate. The Brotherhood of Light Arcanum mirrorsthese images in an Egyptian context. This card is picturedby a blind man dressed in the skins of animals walking to-wards the edge of an abyss. His blindness represents that heis not yet in possession of his spiritual sight, the skins of ani-mals inform us by birth into human form we are still mem-bers of the animal kingdom endowed with all animal desiresand propensities. The abyss towards which he walks repre-sents the mysteries of life or the Great Unknown. He guideshimself with the staff in his right hand as his left hand stead-ies the yoke over his shoulder in which he balances all hisworldly goods. The staff can represent an extension of thewill, the choices we make in this life to direct our thoughts,feelings, and actions for good or for ill. The yoke can repre-sent both material goods and possessions or it can representour character, the sum total of experiences gained while inform. Our character is the only thing we take with us, whenupon the death of the organism we pass to the next form wewill occupy. Overhead the Sun is being eclipsed by theMoon which signifies the different epochs and periodswhen it appears that materialistic philosophies will obscurethe illumination of spirituality. At the feet of the blind pil-grim reclines a fallen obelisk, representing the knowledgeof the ancients that has fallen by the wayside. Over the obe-lisk creeps a crocodile which represents those negativeforces or individuals who might seek to distract us from ourspiritual goals. This card represents all that is mysteriousand uncertain in the universe.

Contemplating the mysterious and the mystifying helps usto think outside the box and readies us to receive inspirationin whatever form it might take. On a daily basis we need totake time to withdraw our attention from the mundane in or-der to contemplate the great mysteries of life.



teer; or inciting to effective work for social welfare and giv-ing us the inspired leader who gets all to cooperate for thecommon good.

Pluto’s alternate influence on mankind and on the individ-ual is explained on the card in the language of symbolicalpictograph thus: It is figured by a blind man carrying bagson his left shoulder; but whether he is blind to spiritual illu-mination or to material advantage is not indicated; only thatif he takes heed of one, of necessity he is blind to the other.The bags over his shoulder indicate the material things oflife he has spent his efforts acquiring; or they represent hisability to minister in physical ways to those in need.

He leans on a black staff and walks toward a fallen obeliskbehind which a crocodile with wide-open mouth awaits todevour him. The staff of experience with good and evil isblack, indicating that prudence is subservient to the de-mands of the senses; or that the demands for uplifting andprotecting others is so great that, though enlightened, he ig-nores all danger.

The fallen obelisk symbolizes the final overthrow of alltemporal work and power. The crocodile indicates the ulti-mate fate of all who are blind to spiritual things; and it indi-cates also the persecution of those who work to spread thetrue facts of spirituality.

Above is an eclipse of the Sun. This eclipse signifies that thespiritual light from within has been obscured by material in-terests; or it signifies that dark forces from the inner planetry to shut away the spiritual illumination which guides theneophyte. It even denotes the eclipse of the proper under-standing of the various forces which Pluto rules throughconfusion of terminology; for Pluto, the ruler of the signScorpio, now is known to rule the invisible realm where theso-called dead sojourn, the radio and telepathic methods ofcommunication, and the energies of the inside of thingssuch as the intra atomic Carnegie Force that was discoveredin April, 1936, which is said to bind the atoms together witha force a thousand times stronger than that of gravitation.

As even yet material science has not advanced far enough toenable us to comprehend much of inner plane phenomenaby its findings, it is not surprising that the terminology ap-plied to it is confusing. Nor is it surprising, since the ethericbody, which is part of man’s invisible domain, only so re-

cently as 1936 was demonstrated by material science to beelectrical in origin, and the cells of the physical body minia-ture batteries furnishing the electricity which becomesnerve currents with measurable charges and with radia-tions, that confusion has arisen concerning it.

While it undoubtedly is true that when velocities in excessof a certain unknown rate are present, new types of condi-tions and attributes are present which are characteristic ofthe spiritual plane; yet nearly all of that which commonly isattributed to the spiritual plane in reality belongs to the spir-itual levels of the astral world. The truly spiritual world istoo far removed from the physical to be much more than oc-casionally glimpsed by the most advanced in the use of psy-chic perception. And even the upper reaches of the astral areso refined and spiritual that it requires unusually high spiri-tual development even momentarily to contact them.

For all practical purposes, therefore, the truly spiritualworld — which has freedom and characteristics as strangeto those dwelling in the astral realm, as the freedom ofmovement and the different relations of time, space andgravitation that exist on the astral plane seem strange tothose accustomed to physical conditions and limitations —may be ignored in the study of inner plane phenomena. Ithas an existence, but its environment is too far removed togive observation much value.

We thus, for practical purposes, may consider the invisibleworld ruled by Pluto as embracing the etheric realm and theastral world. As pointed out when considering THE SAR-COPHAGUS tarot card in the September issue of AMERI-CAN ASTROLOGY MAGAZINE, when an object gains avelocity greater than that of light, the common laws of grav-itation and those relating to time and space no longer hold,and it then is something belonging to the astral plane.Thought and the unconscious mind of man have such veloc-ities, and therefore are not physical things, nor are theyetheric, where velocities are those of light, but movementsand organizations of astral substance. Such planetary ener-gies as exert an influence upon human life and are chartedby astrology, also have velocities greater than light, andthus are forces of the astral plane.

In between physical substance and astral substance are theborderline energies — electromagnetic vibrations, radia-tions and light — that have the critical velocity of about

186,000 miles a second which gives them some qualities ofthe physical plane and some of the astral plane. Theseso-called etheric forces are transitional energies, transform-ing readily the energy of one plane into the energy of theother plane; and those of them that are invisible belong toPluto’s domain. Light, however, being visible, is not part ofhis realm. While it is true that highly evolved man has therudiments of a spiritual body, which so far as it is present be-longs to the spiritual plane, for all practical purposes in con-sidering man and occult forces we need only to investigatetwo planes and the borderline energy which permits ex-changes between them.

When we are confronted with the experience of a psychicwho sees the physical body, the etheric body, an emotionalbody, an astral body, a mental body, a solar body, and so-on,we are not called upon to dispute what is seen, but we areprivileged to interpret it in the light of most recent findings.

The aura of the etheric body, for instance, does have twoquite distinct zones. It can be seen by the normal personwho sensitizes his eyes with Kilnur’s dicyanin screen, orbetter still with the pinacyanol screen developed byBagnall. Oscar Bagnall in his book, The Origin and Proper-ties of the Human Aura (1937) has made a distinct and valu-able contribution to our knowledge of the etheric body. Heapproaches the matter effectively as a material scientist. Hisscreen shows that there is a denser brighter inside aurawhich extends some three inches from the skin of the physi-cal body. It has certain properties that are similar to those ofa magnetic field.

Then outside this inside aura, and extending six to eightinches beyond it, is an outer haze which fades into nothing-ness at its outer margin, and which around the body is moreor less oval in shape. This outside aura behaves more in themanner of ultra violet light than as a magnetic field.

Now it is common for psychics to see these two zones of theaura, and to give them names which imply they are of quitedifferent planal substance. The inner aura, for instance, of-ten is said to belong to the etheric body, and the outer aurathen is said to belong to the emotional body, which by themis believed to be of the substance of the astral plane. Yet it isobvious from the fact that they can be seen by the physicaleye properly sensitized to perceive vibrations slightlyhigher in frequency than violet light, that both these zonesof the aura are phenomena of the etheric order. That is, theyare electric in origin, and constitute an electromagneticfield, and radiations from electrically charged particles,which are but slightly higher in frequency, and have thesame speed as light. The currents which carry messagesover the nerves, the vitality of the physical body, the ethericbody, and both the inner and the outer aura, are phenomenaof the borderline etheric substance.

These same psychics also consider that there are several in-ner planes, each with its own type of substance. Thus theemotional body and events which transpire on the emo-

tional plane are coarser and of lower vibration than the men-tal body and the event which transpire on the mental plane.As we have just seen, however, that which most of them callthe emotional body really belongs to the borderline energy,grading off from etheric in nature to that which is truly as-tral. And that which these same psychics call mental sub-stance, is but one type of many manifestations of astralenergy on the astral plane, that which is called spiritual bythem being but another.

This is not stated for the purpose of criticizing these psy-chics. It merely points to the fact that recent discoveries inmaterial science give us a more precise conception of whatthey actually see. For the effect of a strong emotion uponboth the etheric body and the astral body is very differentthan the effect upon them of intellectually working to solvesome problem. Yet both emotion and intellectual effort,each in its own way, has a profound influence upon both theetheric energies and the astral energies of the person so en-gaged.

Let us consider that desire is the energies of certainthought-cells or groups of thought-cells within the uncon-scious mind in a potential state, straining to be released in agiven activity: to move the physical body, to acquire suste-nance, to destroy an enemy, to realize love, to enjoy a cer-tain sensation, to solve a complex mental problem, or anyone of innumerable other things. That is, desire is energywhich has produced a tension which seeks release in someactivity. And this activity, in which the desire energy findsrelease, in turn gives rise to more or less feeling.

Certain desires, however, are powerful enough that the dis-charge of their energy when the tension is released creates aprofound and widespread disturbance of the electrical cur-rents which flow over the nerves. These more violent de-sires are responses of the life-form to emergency situations.Some of these situations are: the call to conflict, stimulatinganger; realizing inadequacy to handle a situation, stimulat-ing fear; realization of loss sustained and consequent inade-quacy, stimulating sorrow; belief that a fond desire will berealized, stimulating hope; realization of a fond hope stimu-lating joy; the thought or presence of a loved one, stimulat-ing passion or love. Such situations demand that energies bepresent in more than normal volume. Hence the tensions ofthe nervous system are such as quickly to generate electricalcurrents so powerful that when these energies are releasedthey are violent enough to give rise to profound distur-bances of the etheric body and the astral body, and to de-velop those intense feelings which are termed emotion.

Intellectual thinking, however, makes use of desire energiesfar removed from emergency situations. It uses images andsymbols which are more or less abstractions of the thingswhich arouse the strong primitive desires. Hence the electri-cal currents generated in the process, while perhaps havingan exceedingly high potential, and able consequently to ra-diate much shorter wavelengths than emotion normally



does, nevertheless have far less volume, and their releasedoes not set up such profound and widespread disturbancesin either the etheric body or the unconscious mind.

I am trying thus briefly to make plain that intellectual think-ing and emotion make use of the substance of the sameplanes, and utilize the same kind of energies. Emotion,however, is energy released with violence and in volume,while intellectual thinking releases similar energy with lessviolence and volume, but commonly with shorter wave-length radiations. I say commonly, advisedly, because spiri-tual aspiration and the higher types of love also have highvoltage and a vibratory rate sufficiently great that they reachand have an influence upon the upper astral levels.

While the substance affected is the same whether it is actedupon by emotion or by intellect, the vibratory level of thissubstance may be markedly different. The astral world con-tains innumerable vibratory levels, just as there are innu-merable different frequencies over each of which a radioprogram on earth can be broadcast. And on each of thesethousands of vibratory levels, corresponding in the astralsubstance to possible frequencies in etheric substance thatmight be used in radio work, there are objects and life-formsundergoing experiences that to them are as objective as theexperiences of people on earth. In fact, when one has tunedin on the particular level, or moved there through having asimilar basic vibration, its world, its denizens and its hap-penings are as intense and objective as physical experiencescan be. And usually those on one level are quite uncon-scious of what is happening on other levels.

Herein lies the difference between the so-called emotionalbody and the mental body; for the more common emotionsnot only generate a great supply of rather low potential elec-trical energy, but their vibratory rate is such that they tunethe individual to the lower levels of the astral world. Highaspirations reach the higher levels; but most of the emotionsdo not lift the thoughts and thus the vibrations above thephysical plane. This means that the individual tunes in onlevels of the astral world where the program — which is theactual life of that level — is very much the same as that bywhich the individual is surrounded in his everyday life.

If he then is psychic, and exercises his Extra Sensory Per-ception, the things he sees, hears and feels are neither morenor less spiritual than those he commonly contacts on thephysical plane. That is, the intelligences with which hecommunes are just as selfish, just as envious, just as petty asare those on the physical plane, and just as likely to try totake advantage of him for their own ends.

This does not mean that all, or even any large portion, ofthose it is possible to contact on the inner plane, are lackingin noble qualities; it simply means that of the innumerablelevels of astral existence his own thoughts and basic vibra-tion have tuned him in on a level where the denizens have asimilar basic vibratory rate.

Now let us consider that Pluto is the ruler of the invisiblerealm, which includes both the boundary energies — forsome of these are used in radio, which it has been demon-strated Pluto rules — and the energies of the astral plane. Inreference to the radio, in the past eight years we have col-lected the birth charts of a great many associated in someway closely with it, observed the progressed aspects whenthey took up radio work, and also noted the aspects in thecycle charts when news relating to the radio came promi-nently before the notice of the public. Pluto almost invari-ably is involved. We find also that when people most readilyget telepathic messages, and especially when they recog-nize thoughts sent to influence them, getting the thoughtsclearly and becoming aware of the sender, is when there is aprogressed aspect to Pluto in their birth charts.

From birth chart studies we have also noted that for estab-lishing rapport between two individuals — not ESP whichis ruled by Neptune — whether one has left the physicalplane or both are still in physical bodies, and exchangingthoughts, that the wavelengths generated by the nervoussystem when Pluto is prominent in the birth chart and byprogression are by far the most effective of all. They seemnot so conducive to tuning in on objects, or to perceiving as-tral scenes, as are the wavelengths of Neptune; but as themeans by which one intelligence, whether of the physicalworld or the astral, can impress its thoughts upon another ata distance, they rank first.

As Pluto rules the noblest aspirations of man, and those wholabor unselfishly for human advancement, through thebetter side of its nature; and with the other side rules thegangster, the racketeer, and those who are the enemies ofhuman progress; it follows that intelligences of both ex-tremes, as well as those of less pronounced tendencies, oc-cupy the unseen realm which both by mythology and bypractical research Pluto is deemed to rule. Furthermore, justas we can witness on earth today in the struggle betweendictatorships and democracy, between the Plutocrats andthe New Deal, and between the efforts to penalize thosewho teach and practice astrology and those who are tryingto give astrology to the public as the most valuable aid tobetter living, it is possible for them to acquire; so the out-standing tendency of Pluto, which is to split into two oppos-ing factions, has made itself felt in the invisible realm herules.

In the border region, where velocities are slightly, if any,greater than light, innumerable creatures dwell. ConanDoyle’s book, “The Coming of the Fairies,” illustrates someof the most charming of these creatures of the boundaryrealm. They were made visible to the camera through rein-forcement by the etheric energy supplied by the mediumis-tic little girls.

Other types belonging to this boundary zone where ethericand astral blend, are the elementals — sylphs, salamanders,gnomes, undines, and various other kinds, such as the mis-



chievous ones which are usually responsible for the well at-tested and not too uncommon poltergeist phenomena, inwhich stones are thrown, crockery smashed, doors opened,knocks and rappings and other annoying events take placein the presence of some particular person, usually of a youthnear the age of puberty.

During the glandular readjustment of such a youngster, con-ditions may be such as to cause his nervous system to gener-ate large volumes of low potential electricity. He gives offgreat surpluses of etheric energy of just the type that mosteasily can be contacted and used by the creatures on the bor-derline between etheric and astral. Such phenomena usuallycease as the youngster furnishing the energy matures.

This borderline realm, where astral and etheric energiesblend, both having velocities not far different from that oflight, is the home of intelligences which in their basic vibra-tions are similar to the creatures of earth. Some are not vi-cious, merely lacking in spirituality. Yet there are alsoothers which resemble in appearance and in predatory hab-its the lion, the tiger, the bear and the wolf. That is, if one beso inclined and has ESP sufficiently developed, one canview the jungle of the astral plane, just as one can go to a notdissimilar jungle in the physical world.

But of greater importance to man — because most peoplehave no occasion to visit the jungle – are the discarnate hu-man beings who occupy this borderline realm. On vibratorylevels far above it dwell those who strive continually to ben-efit the human race, who inspire man to noble effort, and en-courage him in every unselfish and worthy enterprise. Andif the individual tunes in on them, or reaches them throughan extension of his consciousness, they will aid him throughthe impressions of their thoughts.

But in the lower astral levels and in the borderland zonecontinue to dwell those who, for some reason, are earth-bound. That is, their attachment to the conditions of theearth is so obsessive that they can not rise to higher vibra-tory levels. Nor can those whose lives have been actuatedsolely by the predatory instincts of carnivorous beasts riseabove the vibratory level of this border sphere. The racke-teers, the gangsters, those who would prey upon the un-wary, and who are devoid of pity for the sufferings of othersif they can gain thereby, persist as denizens of thisastral-etheric Pluto border realm.

Many of those who died in the Great War, unable to freethemselves from the desire to be revenged upon their ene-mies, also linger in this domain close to earth, and from itimpress their desires and their plans upon those living whoare sufficiently sensitive.

Both the high and the low, the refined and the gross in the in-visible regions are portions of Pluto’s domain; and thethoughts and ambitions, aspirations and greeds that todayhave divided the world into two contending camps, havelargely been prompted from these regions. Pluto’s recentdiscovery was coincident with a more profound influenceupon the earth of the invisible realm he rules; and now thatthis planet whose attributes are set forth in Major ArcanumXXII of the tarot cards has moved into the rulership signLeo, the struggle of those representing each of his opposingattributes for world dominion will become increasinglymore fierce.

The Tablets of AEth

Part III

Here beginneth Chapter 3 of the Second Part of the Book which is called “The Tablets of AEth,”wherein the Third, and last, Trinity of the Planetary Rulers is faithfully transcribed.

“Thou hast entered the immeasurable regions. I am the Dweller of the Threshold.What wouldst thou with me? * * * Dost thou fear me? Am I not thy beloved? Is it notfor me that thou hast rendered up the delights of thy race? Wouldst thou be wise?Mine is the wisdom of the countless ages. Kiss me, my mortal lover.”

“Thus man pursues his weary calling,And wrings the hard life from the sky,

While happiness unseen is fallingDown from God’s bosom silently.”



Saturn

REFLECTION

Part III, TABLET THE SEVENTH

“In the external we remember Saturn as an old man, and as a skeleton with ascythe—as Time, in fact. But see, O immortal soul, the real Saturn, as the Angelof Life, having from time gathered the experiences which crown him with light,holding the rod of power; the Christ born in the manger of Capricorn, theGoat—life born of death; the conqueror of evil. He throws off the mask of age,and divine youth beams on us. He doffs the mantle of rags, and royal splendorsclothe him. He lifts the hood, and behold the crown. He raises the crutch and lo!the rod of power. He drops the scythe of death for the jewel of eternal life.

“Om Mani Padme Um.”(Oh the jewel of the lotus.)

O child of Adam! Meditate on the transmutations of life. Behold the earthly miracle of thecaterpillar and the butterfly, of the toiling mortal and the transcendent God!”

Mundane Astrology

Mundane Events 2007

Christopher Gibson

Mundane Astrology is the study of how celestial influ-ences impact corporate entities such as countries, cit-

ies, and communities. Most importantly we first evaluatethe birth chart of a country to determine specific nationaltendencies. Secondly, we progress the nation’s chart andanalyze the planetary positions and aspects to determinewhat trends will take place within the country during spe-cific periods of time. In regards to the United States chartastrologers tend to agree on July 4, 1776, as the birth date,but differ in opinion as to the time of birth (this was dis-cussed in detail in the Spring2005 Quarterly). In this arti-cle we will work from thechart provided in MundaneAstrology where the authorC. C. Zain gives the birthtime of the United States as2:13 A.M. and the Ascen-dant as 7° Gemini 35’.

By progressing the US Chartwe can determine trends andkey areas of activity. For ex-ample in August 2005 pro-gressed Mercury the ruler ofcommunication and reports,moving retrograde throughthe 10th house of business inthe US Chart formed aninconjunct or expansion as-pect to progressed Neptunewhich rules petroleum andgas in the 5th house of stocksand speculation. By October2005 oil companies reportedrecord profits. In response tothe public backlash we wereinformed that these profitswere due to good businesspractices and not price-gouging after the devastation of hur-ricane Katrina.

Another aspect impacting the US chart since September2005 has been progressed Venus moving through the 11thhouse opposing natal Saturn in the 5th House of children,stocks and speculation. Any progressed aspects to Saturnalso stimulate the 8th house of debts and death, the 9th

house of foreign relations, and the 10th house of leadershipas the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius fall on the cusps ofthese houses. In May 2006 CNN reported that the US hasthe second worst infant mortality rate among developingnations. Among industrialized nations only Latvia has ahigh rate if infant mortality. Under this aspect we have wit-nessed peaks and valleys in the stock market. Most recentlyin February 2007 the Dow Jones Industrial Average wit-nessed the greatest point slide since the aftermath of Sep-tember 11th in response to a drop in the Asian Markets.

Perhaps the most alarmingand least addresses facet ofthis aspect is the US Na-tional Debt which at thetime of this writing cur-rent ly stands at$8,843,823,464,157. Ac-cording to the US NationalDebt Clock each citizen’sshare of this debt is

$29,353.47. Since Septem-ber 29, 2006 the NationalDebt has continued to in-crease at an unprecedentedaverage of $1.88 billion perday.

Cycle Charts are anotherway by which we gain in-formation about currenttrends and events. CycleCharts are calculated forthe capital city of any coun-try for the moment a planetpasses from south to northdeclination. They can beread as the birth charts for aspecific influence over aspecific period of time. Cy-

cle charts are unique in that we progress by transit only theplanet for which the chart is erected and we only measurethose aspects within one degree of perfect to the natal (cy-cle) chart. Interpretation of cycle charts is narrowly limitedto the topics governed by the planet ruling the cycle. In theSun cycle chart we look for trends involving politicians andthe current administration. The Moon cycle chart revealstrends affecting commodities, women, and the masses.



Mercury’s cycle indicates directions in communicationsand the media. The Venus cycle displays fads in arts and so-cial practices. Mars governs both the military and industry.Jupiter makes known religious and financial directions.Saturn governs the conservative element, utilities, minesand farmers. Uranus governs inventions and the radical po-litical element. Neptune cycles can be read as they impactschemes, petroleum prices, and the entertainment industry.And lastly Pluto cycles are indicative of overall societaltrends and the actions of mobs.

The Vernal Ingress, or Sun cycle chart is calculated everyspring for the time that the Sun crosses the celestial equatorfrom south to north declination. This chart, which is calcu-lated for the capital of a country, can be useful when the ac-tual time of incorporation is unknown or consulted as analternative to studying the nation’s birth-chart. The cyclechart for the Sun indicates the activities of political authori-ties and rulers of a country. The house positions andtransiting aspects formed by the Sun indicate the trends ofevents to be attracted by those in power. In the Sun cyclechart we look for upcoming trends by progressing withtransiting motion the position of the Sun in relationship to

the other planets in the chart, placing special emphasis onconjunction and opposition aspects.

In the 2007 Vernal Ingress chart the Sun can be found in the6th house described by Zain in Mundane astrology as:

“The illness of the people, their food; laboring people andtheir labor; employees in general, including the personnelof the army, navy and police force who are employees of thepeople, also all civil service employees; stored grain orother stored products of the land or mines, the garnered har-vest, restaurants, cafeterias, drug stores and all placeswhere food and drink are dispensed; small animals.”

This year we can expect to see the news highlighting issuesof food safety, pet food safety, minimum wage for workers,and the drawdown of armed forces. April 16 – 18 thetransiting Sun in the 7th house will conjunct the Moon in theSun cycle chart to be followed by a conjunction with VenusApril 23-25. During these periods we might see matters ofdomestic partnership or peace initiatives featured in thenews. June 9-11 transiting Sun will be opposing Jupiter inthe 3rd house and June 19-21 the transiting Sun will be op-

posing Pluto in the 3rd house. Perhaps at this time the newswill feature articles on the porosity of our international bor-ders or feature mass protests on either side of the borderwith neighboring countries. The Nation’s attention could befocused on the actions of its leadership July 3-5 when theSun conjuncts the MC in the cycle chart.

The Mars cycle which commences May 20, 2007 placesMars in the 2nd house of the National Treasury and bank-ing. A dominant theme during this cycle should be the costof war. This topic should be especially prominent aroundJuly 24 – 27 when Mars by transit will oppose the MC in the

cycle chart and August 3 – 6 when Mars conjuncts the Sunin the 4th house. September 23 – 29 Mars will oppose Plutoin the 11th house of embassies this could have some form ofviolence directed towards diplomatic corps in theforeground of the news.

Church of Light students are encouraged to study all the cy-cle charts.

Congratulations:

Fort Worth Texas has a Branch Church

under the leadership ofGail Carswell and Michael Foltz.

Gail and Michael have been hostingChurch of Light (Brotherhood ofLight) classes in the Fort Worth areafor several years. Gail currentlyserves on The Church of Light Boardof Directors and Michael is assistingMembership Minister, Patr ickRamsey with grading exams. Theyown and operate The Owl’s Clover, a metaphysical book-store where they conduct their personal business and hostthe new branch church.

For more information about Gail and Michael go to theirwebsite: owlswebnest.com. All of us at The Church ofLight are excited about their work and look forward to avery active branch church.

Church of Light Religious Services

are conducted by Rev. Meg Dissinger on the third Sunday ofevery month from 11 A.M. – 12 noon at Church headquar-ters in Albuquerque. The next services are: May 20 – Gem-ini - Be Reasonable! and June 17 – Cancer - Taming theBeast Within. Services are followed by an astrology lab – allare welcome!

Summer Schedule of Classes

A Beginning Astrology course will be taught by Christo-pher Gibson on 6 consecutive Tuesdays from August 21 –Sept 25. Allyn McCray will be giving instruction in Begin-ning Tarot on 6 consecutive Thursdays from August 23 –September 27

Fall Schedule of Classes

An Intermediate Astrology course will be offered by Chris-topher Gibson on 6 consecutive Tuesdays from October 9 –November 13. Christopher will also be teaching the Inter-mediate Tarot class on Thursdays October 11 – November15.All classes run from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M.

Beware!

It has been brought to our attention at headquarters thatthere are a couple of men who are preying on elderly femalemembers. These men claim to be representatives of TheChurch of Light who are seeking donations of books and/orhistoric materials from member’s estates. If anyone shouldapproach you, please contact The Church of Light.

The Secret’s Out!

Well…actually it’s been out for quitesome time…it’s just being energized!

If you want to know more about “thesecret” read The Brotherhood ofLight Lessons!

You will discover how the secretworks and how this knowledge fitsinto the much larger picture of corre-sponding physical, mental and spiri-tual abundance.

For those of you with The Brother-hood of Light lessons on CD-Rom,do a search on:

“Law of Affinity”The Hermetic Axiom: “As Above, So Below”

Magnetic or magnetism“Law of Correspondence”

Vibration or Vibratory RateMagic

These are just a few of the terms that when a little effort isdirected into understanding them, the result will be a greatlyexpanded, satisfying and fulfilling experience of the world.The real secret is that we live in two worlds…to ignore oneat the expense of the other leads to feelings of being incom-plete and dissatisfied…no matter how many dollars are inthe bank, how many homes you own or bicycles in your ga-rage. Empower yourself…understand the energy thatmoves in, through and around all living matter. If youdo…the world you live in will matter more! If you share it,like the loaves and the fishes, it multiplies!

PS: We really live in three worlds…but that’s a story for an-other day. —Vicki Brewer

Building a Better World with a Better Vision!

The Church of Light Vision for the 21st Century

OUR MISSION

To teach, practice and disseminate the Religion of the Stars, a

way of life for the Aquarian Age, outlined in the writings of

C.C. Zain.

WHAT WE TEACH

• There is a loving Cosmic Intelligence, of which we are all a

part, whose infinite goodness expresses through undeviat-

ing natural law.

• There is a Divine Plan in which each person has a unique

and important role.

• The Divine Plan manifests through progressive evolution.

• There is a universal moral code - Contribute Your Utmost

To Universal Welfare - which, to the extent adopted by

each individual, will make the world a better place to live.

• The Religion of the Stars will evolve by incorporating new

information as it is discovered and verified.

• Astrology is the Golden Key that unlocks the door to un-

derstanding the Soul’s true character and potential.

• The safe development of extrasensory perception (exten-

sion of consciousness) is the best tool for realizing each in-

dividual’s mission in the Divine Plan and for verifying the

after-life and the survival of the soul after death of the

physical body.

OUR VISION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Our vision is to become a significant world religion in the

21st Century, and a powerful force for good and for spiritual

enlightenment, by:

• Providing reliable and verifiable information regarding

the nature of the soul and its relationship to Deity and other

life forms;

• Seeking out reliable and verifiable information regarding

life on higher planes of existence, especially in regard to

the transition we call death, and the nature of the next life;

• Developing increasingly advanced tools and training in as-

trology, extrasensory perception, directed thinking and in-

duced emotion, toward the end of maximizing each

person’s happiness, usefulness and spirituality;

• Promoting the importance of the four essential freedoms:

Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear, Freedom of Ex-

pression and Freedom of Religion;

• Building a sense of community and spiri-

tual purpose which uplifts and inspires our

members to Contribute Their Utmost To

Universal Welfare.
