Astrological Findings 3
 |
| Welcome to hilarious teachings. |
Further consider: The chimp has no astrology, but the Jews had.
Here we find a row of postulates that can be aligned to the starry sky at the moment of birth - something to think about better than an ape. There is also a need to discern between kinds of astrology and disarm enemies.

Lessons of Avatars
WE THINK that each studied or said avatar reflects his or her angle. Also: Very deep help may not appear as fit among the surface affairs of things and happenings, not for a while, actually.And even if we don't have to appreciate horoscope faith in general, and perhaps for lots of reasons, let's try to have fun, just like good-natured little children. Even little children often take to funny-looking and other nicknames to help themselves out of much needless strictness and Mom-Dad fear - unsound respect. Far too much and unsavoury respect and reverence is not good for much fun and egalité later on. And a little close-up assisted by frank nick-naming surely helps in some quarters. We admit that.
Let us not walk blindly, but rather learn to use common sense and be helped by jolly good extracts a very long way, so as to become more able as time goes by.
What we need could be a fit or artful platform against guru hearsay - can our astrosophy afford it? That is the question
Sometimes we need to take out a thorn from the flesh by another thorn. For similar or different reasons star-sagacious summaries could mount up against guru propaganda - you never know.That must be the philosophy here.
And yet, what does an odd picture tell of the person portrayed? Very little, and it may seem heartless, and so it is with horoscope readings for most part. Still, the well done painting is a kind of memory, and may remind us of the portrayed man inside the "odd thing" or illusionist trick that a good portrait is. Depth is feigned by very clever perspective making on the canvas, for example. I recall one day in Frankfurt am Mains. I stood looking at a huge canvas oil painting of Goethe on the Italian campus. The painting was hardly photographically correct in all details, nor is a cubist painting. And yet it mattered.
So far, so good. All we say had better be the outcome of fair thinking. We have to sift evidence for it.
One thing that stands out and undermines half of the value of common astroscopy readings at once, is this: life is had in he living, whereas a portrait and hovering birth certificate looks like very static things. Life is a different matter, simply.
You can likewise note that the Bible goes vehemently against star wisdom one way or other, and that Jews had much insider star wisdom through Kabbalah, and in their surroundings. Astrosophy, which is star wisdom as far as we know it, doesn't necessitate ludicrous star worship or other forms of idolatry which are out of the question in most modern settings also. The good old Bible forbids lots of men to work on Saturdays in many places, and demands foreskins off, off, off, or .... but much was dispensed with. What about astrosophy - interestingly organised and much substantiated astrology-derived lore? It matters. But you can get blunted by birth certificate readings taken literally.
Several important things crop up against it: First, much of the traditional art that manifests in horoscope charts and their interpretations, is hardly very evolved, and almost never scientifically validated in any wrong or fair-looking way. There are very few exceptions.
This highlights that modern astrology in part is a living faith, that faith becomes a nuisance later on fairly much, fairly often, fairly well, and that much good is won if we dispense with faith and go for muscles instead. Both astrology and perfidious faith in general can be attuned to star wisdom - insider paganism too. It has been estimated by a sceptic that about one fourth of mankind has some sort of faith in astrology. [Aeb]
Apart from that observation, faith may be rudimentary, be subject to crude development and misled. We let it rest there. Because the verifications are crude or missing, any birth certificate reading can look quite marring and incredible for that reason.
One reason is that it normally takes time to evolve, and environmental factors influence the outcomes terribly much - at least that is part of the theory that fits in: "You have a say too, but as you are one against many, who have the winning odds as the web of interactions evolve - is it the birth horoscope, after all, because such an outlook could be perfectly attuned to the wisdom of Jesus?"
Our man lifted one finger and said: "Judge not". He lifted another finger and said something like, "Go for fair judgements". He lifted his third finger and said, "The sons are free - all is possible for the one who has faith". He did not say "Small is beautiful," like Schumacher does, he said, "Become like little children", and nearly "what seems small and insignificant could really be great on the other side, and some late starters can arrive first", and so on.
This necessitates the outlook that if all is possible, theoretically, then it's possible that the inner side of the birth certificate (horoscope) directs later developments firmly and set, particularly so where it's looked much down on and not studied well enough here on earth - hm.
This is sure: We go against stupid fare. And horoscopes and blind eyes hardly estimate the cost of blooming after budding. Besides those obeservations, we had better be alerted terribly much to one tenet: "The Christian guy is to be thought of much as a juvenile delinquent - the sooner the better. It doesn't matter if he is in the public role of prime minister, even. As a Christian he is defined better, according to one of the deep sayings of Jesus. It's found in Mark:
Jesus said to them, "It's not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I haven't come to call the righteous, but sinners." [Mark 2:17; Cf. Matthew 9:12]There you are. Think of it, and understand why the sheep lifestyle is much to rise above, for "the son is free" and the friend is not too bad off either. We assent: "To be herded is not the best."
If the horoscope taken figuratively makes a golden crutch, is it good to use it to get higher than the sheep or fish in the fisherman's net? Is it good to use crutches to get out of clutches? That may not be answered politely.
We have shown the common Christian's predominant character through words of Jesus.The juvenile delinquent may not show up for long, due to upbringing and environment, but deep down he could be worse than a vulgar rascal. It is to be feared, isn't it?
As for the possible depth traits that horoscope interpreters reckon with, there is something similar to take into account: The setting matters - it gives a veneer of being civilised through ensured conformity in most ways till something unusual happens. The congenial environment we're in, had better save us from falling, and horoscope interpreters of India and other countries strove to do that. In addition they strove to harmonise depth psychology with balanced attainments - they include inner developments.
Deep inside our socially stratified and culturally contingent niches we had better keep pace with the good neighbours, or they will stop talking to us. If we have the time, and don't suffer from stupidity as sheep do, we can look up and look more into the lush or arid scenery of the person's social enclave. We have to estimate effects of transgressions, how stupid the person in question seems to be; and how impolite, snarling or laissez-faire tinged the variant of deep social climate can have been - with various forms of tact and aplomb that matter to the budding human in question.
To get aligned to the Milky Way can seem largely impressive too
All these very important aspects of personality development are not included in horoscope readings as we know them and there is no way of telling them from a horoscope, it seems reasonable to say. How could it be done? A horoscope is a typified "map" of the solar system on the background of a rigid structure that appears to cover 360 of the Milky Way - it's a galaxy, a huge band of stars and many other clusters with possible life-forms inside some of them.There is one more antidote to horoscope faith: Most people today and onwards tend to be herded in conform school environment from the age of 5, 6 or 7. Much stereotyped parenting and much similar over-all environment tend to give a conform, near-identical impression. At times it may appear insane, but let that rest here. The point is that most persons brought up under strict supervision and study that's imposed on man, hardly have the nerve and guts to break loose and seek to evolve from inside, like the best Greek thinkers of antiquity found the conditions to.
As a result, maybe the vast majority of individual "buds" inside the conform person at hand are mere result of upbringing, and very many can be feigning, role-acting and little artistic as a result of that. We have to assume that many modern men are dwarfed inside, much stunted, clipped, and not allowed to shine.
If they don't smile, it's a bad token. And the stultified show thrives on the backs of stunted individuals.
This was to hint at that a majority of men today hardly ever evolve from inside as they should - but the individual talents the Church talks about are given to be put to use, it's held against that dwarfing of potentials.
It's not logical to expect much from horoscope readings for many other reasons as well, unless we look at major individuals, the winners that manifested much from inside, and stood up as marked or rugged persons in their own right. Pablo Picasso was one. We know one more. Yet we have to make do with skilled guesses even here, and allow for a possible exception to any rule if we like. It's even scientific.
The horoscope
What's a little horoscope if life that matters more, is a poetic rustle along?A horoscope is a conventionalised "map of the heavens" as seen from earth at the moment of birth. We should look on it as the cosmic birth certificate.
The sun, moon and planets are allotted major values, and exactly where they are located is said to matter terribly much, as things like these are said to portray the inner man or woman that have taken birth at the moment their various horoscopes are cast.
Speaking of the moon - it's placement is projected onto a thought-up screen far away in outer space - we project moon, sun and all nine planets onto such a theoretical concept of quite fixed stars. They're far away.
We stare at the sun at the moment of birth, and like to think that this direction eventually is settled on some screen - it's the structure of constellations. The constellations pertain to so-called fixed stars - "fixed" because they're far away. What we make out of constellations is another thing. We divide the surrounding sky in twelve parts, and next divide more and better - Mind that this is not the Zodiac yet, only the "constellation screen" - that idea in the head.
The Zodiac with its twelve commonly know star signs, is linked to the constellations - it's much of the same thing. Yet it's not said to be as significant by insiders in Oriental constellation teachings. Kriyananda, disciple of guru we look into, holds that. [Ssg]
What's the difference between one screen out there and another, when neither are much assessed in science? It's hard to say, very hard. Maybe "bah" will do. You may find the constellation placement of your sun by subtracting 23-25 degrees from the placement in the regular horoscope. It's as easy as that. Astrology doesn't appear to have the exact amount of degrees to subtract at this stage.
And let's assume that in this age-old star wisdom the common Zodiac signs speak of much the same matters as the constellation signs. And feel free to add "maybe so, maybe not" all the way through here.
Thus the "birth certificate" that gurus often make use of and speak of, can be looked at as a medley of a fixed structure (the Zodiac and the constellation belt behind it) on which the relative angling placements of sun, moon and planets are projected.
If you believe that a horoscope speaks of how the person is to become, you forget the scenery from above: A tree needs more than it's own inherent capacity to fulfil itself from deep inside - needs more than the power in the seed, so to speak. The welcomes have to be all right for a long time. After than it may bloom and produce fruits. Many seeds never sprout for such and other reasons. That's the lesson we suggest so far.
Bearing this in mind, what can a horoscope portray, if anything? There is an astrological typology that comes along with it. You've never heard of the beavers as a human sub-group, maybe, but you've heard of the sheep, Aries, the Ram, is the bet. It signifies one and the same thing: the first sign of the Zodiac. It's the first spring sign.
By juggling such cognitive factors on top of the "map of heaven" at the moment of birth, we eventually come up with many assertions about the nature and inherent sides of the person we look at.
You may do it better by looking at him or her through a pair of eye-glasses, but that's not our topic for now. We check whether a birth certificate is of much value for upbringing, or if it has any prognostic value. If a horoscope has no prognostic value in the life of people who have loomed tall and apparently actualised themselves much, it has no inherent value in education either. By that verdict we mean: "Look to the life first. Biographies and autobiographies happen to give much information in the matter."
To assess the possible, future value of horoscope readings, we have to be ruthless now. We have to say:
"If the likeable interpretations from the horoscope hardly make much sense on top of the lived life - i.e. hardly get "post-look" confirmed by emerging biographic data - we're not in the right to say very much as professionals of counselling, upbringing and the like.
These comparisons have been missing so far, so we shouldn't be rigid at all when it comes to astrology and its often bizarre employment.
What we happen to strive for here, is sound, fair estimating of the possible or likely value of practised astrology. Horoscopes may be looked on as the raw data matrices. The use of a birth horoscope (radix) is based on both presentation and interpretation in a blend that may astound.
Psychologically, vain persons often like to find themselves mirrored, portrayed and debated. Often the vain persons have to muster guts and get much less self-occupied, instead of reverting to facades. A horoscope reading is hardly more that a facade thing, something of possible "face" value. On the other hand, a good face is of much worth to actors and prima donnas. And to lose "face" is a shame.
In Asia the birth certificate has been used to insist on possible qualities that have to be well nourished or developed. And along with that auto-suggestive assessment comes the warning or bulwarking facets: Many features of the horoscope are interpreted as negative, as bringers of bereavements, dangers or future disasters. One of these factors is Saturn. It's a marker and as such is interpreted wildly. Much is said to depend on the placement, much on the particular angle pattern that's set up in the horoscope, and so on. We speak of angles between this and that, and how these may interact. It's all a matter of hypotheses if verifications aren't had. We shouldn't freak out in the matter.
Now, let's come up with a fourfold main use in rough outline.
- To point at things that could go well, oiled by cosmic grease as showed by trines (angles of 120º with some minor leeway, up to 18%!) and sextiles (60º with some leeway) - things like that.
- To make us preserve basic assets - It's generally all right to hold that know-how secret, as there are so many tactless and intrigue-bent ones that may rob us of our wealth -
- The skills you could go for, well in time - It could be a "maybe group".
- And what not to involve ourselves in, so as not to flounder, get utterly molested, marauded or succumb.
Also, we have to know better than judging or evaluation a man or woman from their face. To take things at face value is hardly clever enough in our days either.
Deeper than the face impression is the whole body appearance. They say that a major part of any act of live communication is more a product of gesticulations, postures and grimaces than of the pure relevance of the message given.
Deeper than the full body is the heart, and that is what matters to mature persons - for that is what matters to the potter inside and around (God).
Further down we look into a world-renowned guru that was born at a time and place where the moon outside was projected onto the peacocky Leo star sign. This is to say his moon was found in Leo at the moment of birth.
Maybe it's impolite to assess a man by something from his past - and not allow for recent changes of mind and heart and body and conditions. maybe it's stupid. When we are old, we seldom behave like small children either. We had better not forget that perspective - that a birth chart is from a long time ago -
Significant changes should have taken place since then. Those changes are not ween in a birth horoscope, for special reasons.
Maybe the full moon at the moment of birth is a poor indication of the calibre of the man, his godliness, his stage on the ladder of individual attainment. Maybe the moon in the horoscope is a generally blunt or too awkward means of assessment. And for that reason it could be the other way round if we allow for the reversion-looking logic of Jesus Christ. The wise look foolish, the infants are strong - strong enough to have their angels awake inside - whereas rich men hardly master many good things in that matter -
St. Paul insists in Philemon:
Have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 6We shouldn't throw out the baby with the dirty water we bathed it in. This is to say there can be good slogans inside astrology, much interesting in the realm of influencing vain fellows, and so on. Now we speak as tacticians, and Jesus urges us to be wise as serpents. Good astrology knowledge may fit in here.
Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful. 11
I'm sending him ... welcome him. 12, 17.
Still, what St. Paul showed, wasn't anywhere near the good, proficient use of modally based astrology. No, he advocated mild keeping of a fugitive slave - the good thing in Christ for his owner. Paul himself glorified freedom in Christ while in chains or in a dungeon. Prisons at that time were hardly much.
Therefore we have a right to look into astrology.
If there are good things inside it, well, it helps to have a full understanding of it also. Next, even if astrological know-how was useless like Onesimus, the runaway slave earlier, "now he has become useful".
At that time, when it has been fairly well clarified whether "birth certificate readings" can be useful, how far and in what probable settings and circumstances, let's mind the apostle's plea to say "welcome" to it.
May we add: To base one's future marriages and partnerships on such a crude and much unresolved scheming as that inside most astrology circles nowadays, is stupid, to say the least. The Christian has something better to do.
First, let's look into the biography of long gone men, and search whether it's probable or likely or reasonable to assume the birth chart speaks of the man in budding. We doubt it.
Now, there are many forms of astrology.
Does astrological sayings fit or blend in if it's not panegyric? It's awfully hard to verify -
Now, we're not head-hunting by what we look at, we're studying. On top of many likeable and relevant findings we may form tentative conclusions. Some may be fit to build on - let's hope all of them. We don't appear to come much closer to a marauder's heart by studying ascribed planet qualities through days of the week.
Therefore it may work and maybe not - according to one local variant of the wisdom of God, even Jesus. God's wisdom looks like folly in the world of darkened minds. Don't look down on what's small or insignificant to look at in the world - and it could open up heaven, he hinted at. Words of God have transfer value.
The Vatican Council has made it clear fairly recently: To look for God's wisdom in other religions is legal - and "other religions" include the Jewish one, with its Kabbalah system of astrology too. [Omo]
Aztec Astrology
Lordly altera pars horoscopes cost a lot, also if they're wrong or misleading
The calendar of such as Maya Indians or Toltec Indians was accommodated to by Aztec Indians in what is now Mexico. Can Aztec readings be honoured at your home place? That could be so alarming a question in certain circles that you should expect trickery the sooner the better.As for studying some Halloween-looking "tricks and treats" in this respect, let us - a long time before we got to the study room - bear in mind the calendar of Mayans, and possibly near neighbours, was astoundingly exact, and not marring. They had thirteen months in a year - other orientations that harmonised with the revolving planet in much better ways than our Western ones. And, knowing this, that they had more evolved ways of reckoning. And maybe certain things Mayans insisted on can afford much help. Think about it.
First, be pleased to find alarming Aztec readings below, all in the name of fair inspection somehow, one way or other. You should know that the two Aztec calendars are differently aligned to the Julian calendar that we use in the West these days. Then comes the question: Is both wrong, one wrong, or both correct, even if they differ from each other?
If you love to be a staunch optimist, here is the heavenly advice given in the nick of time - consider such as:
- AN ADAMANT SALE OF STRIVING of someone as the mur inside the hovering
enclave or fold - a rustle advocating: "Tame little as your strive for proficiency, solid
esteem to live by and relate through, and yet free from opportunistic ado. Can you make it
'out there'?" [Check A]
- THE RASH OR POIGNANT NICK-OF-TIME ARTISTIC PORTRAIT as fit in the nick of time ahead of the disaster. All odious stuff started by getting tamed in the first place, and stern taming tends to make ashamed. This knowledge is a boon. [Check B]
We accept that you seem unable to make clear how deep and sound such alignment could be where you are, don't recommend any of them as oracles for some finer reasons, and let it rest there.
A week that is almost a fortnight is interesting in the womb of a gathering yourself
Your first alarming concern will be the stout-looking guru from "Faroffstan" which is India - the ardent Yogananda (1893-1952) - quite an interesting fellow.Our computer-generated, quite conventionalised outputs could depend a lot on knowing the time of the day of the birth also. Now, bearing in mind the runaway slave that St. Paul sent back to his master, let's see what we got:
- The week that is nearly a fortnight should speak of some more steady long-range
influence underneath. many enigmatic meetings may be showed or guessed at on top of this
marker. The Indian representation tokens have very much merit. The deities that are lifted
up for us to muse at, can portray factors in the womb of the heart - i.e. at the region of
the TA Child, is the bet.
- The day could be a hint at the art of living portrayed by interesting symbols from far away. Good living often eliminates lots of opportunities to be taken by surprise in nasty ways. To become taken by surprise is not a very fit outcome of being lorded over by any odd "day-ray". And to live in vain may look like refusing to look deeper than moss.
It's been very interesting to look into the matter, to chuckle over a lot. Maybe we all should derive benefit from a little of it.
If you ask us utterly politely, we might be induced to hand out an interpretation on top of a horoscope skeleton.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has one of the finest introduction essays on Aztec calendars we've met. We suggest a little study of that before going into the portrayals below. Thus there may not be made serious transfer mistakes by thinking that the months compare, and we escape lots of irrelevant "findings".
Feel free to check a very neat Aztec reading if you have to - and go silently along to escape weeping a lot. There is such disagreement as to how the Aztec or Toltec reckoning should be aligned to the Julian calendar we use in the West. A good lining-up guess may not be quite good enough.
Let's add that after checking our own Aztec horoscope we were impressed and astonished too. Much depends on how nice things they insist on about you, and maybe ten times more on what the advanced interpreters refrain from hinting at as well. This may mean that deep things don't really belong to the surface, and that surface inspection mars lots of deep things.
Man is made for living on the surface of the planet. He's not equipped with wings, nor is he a boring and drilling badger by nature. He's given brains and hands and the capacity to walk erect as hallmarks, and should learn to compete much from that. Thanks to this observation it's much fit to insist that to be superficial is fair. Go deep and get drowned by pressures. Fly high into outer space and run into terrible problems that not even advanced technology can solve completely to our satisfaction. This is so because man as an organism is designed for thriving, living and ending his life on this very planet. It may be done better, much better.
Back to the surface - let's get entertained. Age-old knowledge that's brought into system or play, may function much to our delight, at least for now.
But think of it - there may be hidden defects of much hailed, behind the curtains. How could the birthday influence you if you're born perfectly opposite the famous Greenwich laboratory in London, in a wavering speedboat in the Pacific Ocean, during a freak ride that took you back and forth between the time zones - from today to yesterday and back in three seconds?
This is to hint at that there's much the author doesn't know, not officially.
Mark Twain Horoscope Findings
MARK TWAIN, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was born on November 30 in 1835. Judged by one Aztec calendar alignment, Longhorne Clemens is influenced or lorded over by one special fortnight of thirteen days, namely "The Jaguar is about" or "a whirlwind confesses things".The favourable day and night is "rain" and "dog", respectively. As you might recall, such rain is then for sale, while such as dog fights can be for dramatic puckers -
By that you shall know him, if you trust in Aztec-Toltex-Mayan calendars and their imports and alignments to the Julian calendar, though. If you consider this carefully sifted information well enough along with "a word to the wise ...", it should be consistenly in line with that man's biography - not necessarity an autobiography, though.
Twain's ego was alive and eager for new experiences. And he was able to receive
solid and hard influence from the environment.
His caring for you and me - his readers - at times border on a well-nigh occult
grasp, as in the famous novel Puddin'head Wilson.
His life culminated in creative writing, and fondness of travels that brought him delighting experiences. One was the news of his death on board a boat in Europe. Twain wired a telegram (cablegram) back that read about like this: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Mark Twain, 1897.
He also studied rustic life as an introspective - it turned him into an observant
writer - Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer reflect his observations along and by the Mississippi?.
He was clearly very able to grasp good thoughts and tear down masks of others. A humourist
has that nasty knack at times.
Mark Twain showed himself to be an able humourist, one that formulated hmself with
up to astonishing perfection and sagacity fairly often. It was coupled to some intuitive
idealism inside him. As a decent idealist he stood up as a sort of intuitive humanitarian at
times - many good points found expression that way. Along with that, major adventure and
challenge had to be introverted - his writer's dilemma was godly. He found a marked ability
and capacity inside to go starkly, boldly against moral conventions as a sort of
liberty-loving freak of a sort - at least talented, useful and aristocratic - if not
idealistic. Mark Twain quotes:
His major goals were practical and sound, suited to living by routines, but things became harsh. All the same, his glittering success as one of the most successful North American writers in history, made up for that. Let us hope that, shall we?Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination. [in The Mysterious Stranger]
Mark Twain, in
Following the EquatorHappiness is a Swedish sunset - it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it. [Notebook, 1899]
When all is said and done, the one sole condition that makes spiritual happiness and preserves it is the absence of doubt. [in Eruption] [Check]
One gets large impressions in boyhood, sometimes, which he has to fight against all his life. [in The Innocents Abroad]There could be gurus that might resent that very much!Twain on Hinduism: "It is a good and gentle religion, but inconvenient." [Mark Twain, Following the Equator] [Check: ibid; under H and Y]
