Astrology for the Soul

Quantum Theory

Quantum theory teaches that our universe lives and breathes in what amounts to an immense sea of motion---a quantum sea of light. This vast underlying sea of energy is called the "Zero Point Field" which is the whole of existence.

Zero Point Field theory explains that all matter in the universe is interconnected by energy waves, which are spread out through time and space and carry on to infinity, tying one part of the universe to every other part.

This Earths energetic field is commonly referred to as 'the grid which is the gravitational and electromagnetic energy pathways on our planet that transmit energy, just like the chakras and neurological system receive and transmit energy, impulses and signals in the human body .

The universe is made up of billions of galaxies.

The Milky Way galaxy is the home of our solar system as well as more than 200 billion other stars. About 70% of those stars are suspected to have solar systems.

The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy ,with a bulged central section called the Galactic Center, and radial arms that form a flat pinwheel shape. Our Sun is located about two-thirds of the way out from the Galactic Center in the Orion Arm.

Milky Way GalaxyWE ARE HERE!!

Our Solar System is in the Sagittarius (Orion) Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy

The energy body of a human being is at the receiving end of a very long succession of energy transmissions from cosmic sources. The Galactic Center, Ursa Major, the Pleiades, and Sirius transmit energy via a corresponding zodiacal constellation which receives and transmits the energy to a corresponding planet in our solar system, and the Sun, Moon and planets in turn receive and transmit these energies to Earth and its inhabitants.

In astronomy, the zodiac is the ring of constellations that lines the path of the Sun across the sky over the course of the year. In astrology, these zodiac signs represent the etheric or energetic body of Earth which are divided into twelve equal zones.

When a Soul chooses to incarnate, it carries or takes on a slice of the current etheric pattern. The natal chart or horoscope is a two-dimensional map of the solar system that shows the relationship of the planets to each other and their positions in the zodiacal wheel at a particular time.

Astrology involves:

Twelve zodiac signs

Twelve planets

Twelve houses

These 36 components work together

Planets show what is happening (action, drives, motivations).Signs show how it is happening (the quality or tone of the action).

Houses show where it is happening (the area of life).

For example:

Mars in Virgo in the seventh house.The drive (Mars) to work and serve (Virgo) others (seventh house).

Saturn in Leo in the eleventh house.Tests (Saturn) of courage and heart (Leo) in the area of friendships and group associations (eleventh house).

In Soul-based astrology, the three key placements to consider are:

The Sun The Ascendant or Rising Sign

The Moon

1. The sun sign indicates the present problem; it sets the pace or the established tempo of the personality life and outer life; it is related to quality, temperament and the life tendencies which are seeking expression during a particular incarnation. Fundamentally, the forces here found are indicative of the line of least resistance.2. The ascendant or rising sign indicates the intended life or immediate soul purpose for this incarnation. It holds the secret of the future and presents the force which, rightly used, will lead to success. It represents the harmony aspect of life and can produce right relationship between soul and personality in an incarnation. It thus points the way to the recognition of the force of the soul.3. The moon.This type of force indicates that which is past. It, therefore, summarizes limitation and the present handicaps. It governs the physical body and shows where the prison of the soul is to be found.

Esoteric (Soul-based) Astrology teaches:
