Astrology: The Analysis of Energy

You are a vibration.

Vibration is acted on by cosmic vibration through cosmic force.

When acted upon by force vibration evolves.

That is the essence of Astrology. 

There are many metaphysical subjects which are highly questionable when taken too seriously.  Astrology is the least so because it has the most physical in nature of the metaphysical topics.  I don't, in fact, really consider astrology a metaphysical topic at all in fact.  The reasons for this are relatively easy to explain.

When anyone or thing is born the planets, Sun, and Moon are aligned in a very precise way that is determined by a data reading from a chart called an ephemeris.  This physical reality is recorded by the thousands of years old tradition of keeping track where celestial objects are related to the constellations which are the background.

The constellations are the signs of the zodiac, a 360 degree wheel where the planets move around the Sun as they orbit it.  There are 12 signs associated with certain particular themes of existence based on basic psychological numerology.  In this respect, because it is rooted in basic philosophy and advanced psychology, the arguments for astrology are sound.

Beyond this there is a physical understanding of astrology.  Everything is a vibration down to its mathematical certainty in creation.  Behind the mathematics are the physical structures which surround us at all times, the magnetic fields of the Earth, and the larger and very vast magnetic field of the Sun.  These two structures are constantly under the influence of each other.  In addition the planets are moving through the Sun's field creating waves in it that are no doubt detected by Earth's magnetic field because of the huge size of these structures. 

This is a pattern that is force and energy in combination to produce vibration upon you, another vibration.  That is the physical explanation as to why astrology works.  However the interpretation of astrology is a matter that is actually entirely debatable for the nature of the field transformation effects of the planets, Sun, and Moon are subject to considerable debate among astrologers.  Most astrologers are either too positive or too negative in their interpretations. 

What we are most looking for in astrology is the timing of energetics, the proper use of energy at particular times that are least resisted by collective pressures from society and the world.  This is what the primary branch of astrology works with when we talk of transits.  Transits are caused by the change in position of the planets relative to the time you were born.  There are specific energetic triggers caused by geometric alignment that lead to resistance being born especially of sensitive individuals to the shift in position of the systems of cosmic alignment, which are the planets, Sun, and Moon again.

Astrology allows one to analyze the energy of a particular person or situation and guesstimate an outcome based upon the energetics of the person, the place, and the celestial objects.  The predictability is high for simple situations and correspondingly lower for complex ones, but the feeling is always the same for those experiencing the situations described by transit astrology.  A second form of astrology exists called the progressed school of astrology.  This one looks at the internal dynamics a person's soul development as a human.  There are additional ways of looking at astrology including vedic, solar return chart, and several other commonly used methods.

What a person needs to know is that astrology gives them information about the best time to do things and the best time to sit back and reserve their energy until a better time.  In addition the challenges of life can be prepared for better with astrology as the timing of events are more often then not linked to the emergent property of the astrological situation.  This emergent property appears magical but is rooted in basic mathematical synchronicity.  Relationship dynamics are similarly governed by another mathematically structured system called synastry.  All of this is governed indirectly by the symmetry of coincidence, the mathematical principle behind unexpected events.  Thus there is a structure and order to the completion of projects that allows for the flow of energy in accordance to the astrological timing.

How important is this?  It depends on what you want to get done.  I view the matter as a question of divine timing built into the charts specifically to give credence to the power of those things which are greater than ourselves.  Such a reason and logic is a subtlety, something which bespeaks of a sensitive and receptive character.  Such people can make the most out of astrology and energetic alignment concepts.  People who are more bullish don't have use for astrology, but they run the risk of challenging a will greater than their own in society most often that represents the power of the Sun, Moon, and planets are representatives of cosmic order.  Rebels are great till they blow up the grain silo.

This sort of reasoning was never going to have universal appeal in this day and age.  But, as we recognize our place in the universe as being sentient and least in importance compared with the bigger picture represented by the celestial objects (really we should call them beings) we take into account the true measure of our humanity.  For such a delicate and receptive age to come into being would go far to advancing the cause of consciousness on this Earth.  Indeed it is my opinion that Aquarius is the true sign of astrology and as we enter into the Aquarian Age more fully astrology will probably be the only school of thought in the metaphysical arena that will be much tolerated by the atheist majority.  As such it can expected to have a strong influence on many societies as we move forwards in time.  

The Human Aura

If everyone could see auras (I personally do not though I am very sensitive to emotions and thoughts), the world's problems would probably be solved relatively quickly.  Auras are a field that surrounds people which are visible to a small percentage of the population and essentially consist of various color lights and shades of darkness.  Years ago I read a book describing what the colors of the aura meant.  That book was by William Walker Atkinson published under the pseudonym Yogi Ramacharaka called Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism.  It's really too bad the new age wasn't built off his works rather than the more speculative works of Helen Blavatsky and the even more speculative works of later new age writers who turn the entire psychic phenomenon of the human experience into a phony party show with nonsensical superstitions.

The ability to see auras is actually quite real, I having met several people who could do it.  I even tested a friend of mine's abilities years ago with a blind scientific test to see if Ramacharakas descriptions of what the aura colors meant were accurate.  I would know my mood and what color I should be but told nothing to my friend about what the colors were supposed to mean.  He then gave me 100% accurate readings of the color of my aura which always matched the mood as Ramacharaka descried.  I did this probably a couple of dozen times with complete accuracy proving Ramacharaka's scholarship on the subject.

There are deeper levels of the aura that are even more complex.  I have met one person who could see into this layer of the aura and it's much more intense and complete energy field.  The aura is probably divided into several layers.  The layers Ramacharaka descried are most likely the lowest level of the aura and just give you the mood information.  Real psychics see at least this level and the really good ones see the deeper layers.  I believe there are at least three main levels to the aura around a single person.  I generally describe these layers as the etheric, astral, and causal auras currently.

A proper naming of levels of information concerning what can be read through psychic perception would include the primary levels of activity in terms of what can be known about an individual.  There should be seven layers altogether that can be accessed.  The etheric, astral, and causal (formally I called this the mental) correspond to the those three planes.  Above them must be, as I currently understand it (my most recent ideas), the kabbalistic (formally buddhic), angelic (formally atmic), and archangelic (formally adi).  These three levels of the aura would be more akin to what I call gridwork, a field of fractal psychic information available to those who have the patience to focus on it.  The gridwork is built of light lines, that which connects objects and fields in and through planes through the planes of interaction effect I have described in a few of my works. 

I don't recommend anyone really train in these areas of development unless they are born with the abilities concerning the layers beyond the causal.  They are frightening complex and the higher one goes up the chain of being and reasoning the more difficult it gets to read properly without some heavy negative energy.  Even the causal layer is difficult to deal with as it contains essential limitations of a human being within it.

As someone who is sensitive to feelings and thoughts (clairsentience/claircognizance) , it feels to me like layers of pressurized thought and resistance surrounding a person.  A human being's basic state of consciousness is very evident when one is sensitive.  People bring with them everywhere they go their built in attitudes, thoughts, and biases.  This stuff literally surrounds someone immediately telling you what they are really like internally.

Those internal attitudes are visible as colors and hearable as sounds to those who have the clairvoyant and clairaudient gifts.  The visible aura is the one described by Ramacharaka.  The more of these abilities one has activated, the more difficult it is to stay focused when in the presence of others.

According to what I have learned the aura reading ability can be activated by various means.  Yet one's life must be balance to do this.  The safest way to activate the aura according to those I have learned from or read about is to do fasting and focusing until that ability activates.  It is best to do so in a group of those of like mind about it and of good naturally happy dispositions.  That is a difficult thing to find at this time in human history unfortunately.  Yet if the more sensitive among us do not activate ourselves at some point, the world will be left in the hands of the politicians and those who are completely blind to this facet of human experience.

Since the human aura to me is a scientific and physical phenomenon (related to both the human magnetic field and dimensionality (planes of consciousness created by transdimensional physics)), one does not even have to believe in God/Goddess in order to have the experience of any psychic phenomenon really.  Perhaps it is best proven in this way that indeed there is a greater reality than one would wish to believe in.  It is probably more rewarding that way as well.  But the truth is that one has to be open minded to really see what is real and what isn't.

Conventional thinking interferes with the unbiased truth reflected in the aura.  We are taught to divide our thoughts and feelings with opinion.  We are told to form biases from an early age.  We are taught to analyze everything.  Part of this is the problem with our scientific education.  It encourages us to look at the world through the lens of language and to see the world as a series of parts.  The more we look to analyze the world, the less we see of what is intuitively already there.  It's as if we were taught not to look essentially.  Then we are taught to label everything, and our entire social system does this constantly.  Everything has a label with a meaning attached. We are taught to hate certain groups and like other groups.

Every time those messages get in our head we forget a little more of the real fact that humans are fully capable of reading situations using their natural born gifts if they are activated.  If we all saw what was is in each other, then the ability to lie would vanish.  Yet to do so would require everyone to be open to the possibility of actual being seen, heard, and felt as they really are, not as they wish to project.  This would be very difficult for the vast majority of people to deal with as their attitudes would be on the table.  And as long as they identify with those attitudes and not with the possibility of being part of something more, the ability to see those auras and live as we were meant to be will be a distant possibility of a future that no one knows.  But of course, one day it all has to come true.
