  • Persian Conjunctions and the Origins of the Saturn Return
    Persian Conjunctions and the Origins of the Saturn Return Laura Michetti I am often struck by the inherent complexity of a field like the history of astrology. What does it mean to look back in time at astrology—a subject notoriously concerned with the future? Furthermore, extracting the history of astrology from the history of religion, philosophy, science, mythology, literature, astronomy, or esotericism, is nearly impossible. Thus, as is perhaps fitting of any attempts to understand and explain an esoteric system such as astrology, we are already confused. But, as is also perhaps fitting of any esoteric tradition, the answers to our questions can be found within the tradition itself—but only through careful study and with great humility. Contemporary astrology makes much use of the concept of the Saturn return, but the historical origins of the idea are largely unknown and certainly not to be found in the Western tradition. In the medieval period, astrology witnessed a pivotal revolution in the flourishing intellectual communities of high Islamic culture. Persian, Arab, and Jewish astrologers bestowed gifts upon the system that would forever alter it in theory and practice. Among the most prominent and enduring of these gifts was the theory of planetary cycles, which, although having embryonic beginnings in the most ancient astrological traditions, was refined and elaborated with careful attention and great prolificacy in the early medieval era. The understanding of the planet Saturn was especially affected by this intermingling of cultures, and it emerged as a key figure in the astrological tradition, commanding a mythic presence that would continue to inspire natural philosophers through the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

  • Paramahansa Yogananda and the Saturn-Jupiter Opposition by Barbara Fahringer
    Paramahansa Yogananda and the Saturn-Jupiter Opposition By Barbara Fahringer As you are reading this, the Saturn-Jupiter opposition has widened out and in June, Jupiter will have moved into Taurus changing the sign dynamics. However since Jupiter had a retrograde station at 3 degrees Aries in July 2010 and Saturn will have a direct station at 10 Libra the feeling of the Aries-Libra opposition is still around us, probably until Jupiter’s next retrograde station at the end of August. Then at the end of December 2011, Jupiter will have a direct station at 0 Taurus and Saturn makes a retrograde station in early February 2012 at 29 Libra, making for an out-of-sign opposition with less than 1 degree orb. Those stations will continue the opposition energy for several months more. It is interesting to note that at any time the current relationship of Saturn to Jupiter is a return to the relationship of Saturn to Jupiter from about 59 years earlier. Sometimes this is only approximate rather than exact. Yet within a year’s time a person has their second Saturn return and their fifth Jupiter return. Sometimes those two returns occur together at the same time, almost to the day. So at 59-60 years of age there is a significant culmination of two cycles and the start of two new cycles for the individual (or event ) in both Saturnian and Jupiterian energy. Also of interest is that the 59-year cycle of the relationship between Saturn and Jupiter is part of an endless cycle of 59-year returns to a similar location of the zodiac.

  • A Very Good Year by Brian Clark
    A VERY GOOD YEAR: Turning the Pages on a New Decade by Brian Clark Milestones in an individual’s life cycle are those threshold years that usher in new decades. Even those normally reluctant to celebrating their birthdays are generally inspired to mark a new decade with some ritual or celebration. Turning 30, 40, 50 and 60 are watershed years in the adult life cycle. Each decade presents its own challenges, offers its own rewards, and has its own distinctive atmosphere. And every decade can be astrologically mapped out to reveal ages when challenges and crises can be expected, as well as offer insight into what each life stage signifies. Each generation travels a similar astrological route. However each generation has a unique atmosphere with its own landmarks, road signs and territorial backdrop that mark their journey across the life span. The astrological life cycle is charted through the cycles of the slower moving planets, since their orbits symbolise initiations into particular life experiences. Planets complete a full cycle at predictable ages, and make important aspects within that round at certain times. The ‘crisis’ points in these planetary cycles are usually fourfold: the initial critical period occurs when the orbiting planet forms a square to its natal position; the second turning point is the opposition of the orbiting planet to its natal position; the third crisis period is the final square of the cycle. Lastly the return of the planet marks the fourth and final critical period of the cycle. This final passage suggests a maturity of this particular planetary archetype.

  • 'Astrology: Rites of Passage'
    ‘Astrology: Rites of Passage’ JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE: A CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE OF PLANETARY CYCLES Within society major life experiences are acknowledged and defined through ceremony and ritual. These transitions often correspond with significant points within planetary cycles. Viewed through the lens of astrology these aspects enrich our comprehension of lessons learned as we progress through life. By Marco Aurélio De Moraes Rites of Passage - definition: Ceremonies that mark important transitional periods in a person's life, such as birth, puberty, marriage, having children, and death. Rites of passage usually involve ritual activities and teachings designed to strip individuals of their original roles and prepare them for new roles. A rite of passage is a celebration of the passage which occurs when an individual leaves one group to enter another. It involves a significant change of status in society. In cultural anthropology the term is the Anglicisation of rite de passage, a French term innovated by the ethnographer Arnold van Gennep in his work Les rites de passage, "The Rites of Passage." The term is now fully adopted into anthropology as well as into the literature and popular cultures of many modern languages. Types and examples TYPES AND EXAMPLES Rites of passage are diverse, and are found throughout many cultures around the world. PHASES OF RITES OF PASSAGE 1. SEPARATION - Birth, adolescence, leaving home, marriage, death 2. TRANSITION - Learning appropriate behaviour for new phase being entered 3. INCORPORATION - Participant is formally admitted into the new role Coming of age •Bar and Bat Mitzvah •Breeching (boy is first dressed in trousers) •Débutante ball •Ear piercing (Canada, the UK and the USA) •First day of school •First house key (this is a sign that a child's parents think he/she is responsible enough to be left alone at home while they are away).

  • Glossary of Astrological Terms
    Glossary of Astrological Terms Accidental Dignity: A planet or celestial body’s strength in an astrological chart, augmented because of its angles, e.g., it’s on the ascendant, descendant, midheaven, or imum coeli, is direct and swift in motion, or is positively aspected, e.g., a trine, to a beneficent planet. An accidental dignity gives that planet more leverage to the native, and will have a greater impact on the native’s life path. Compare: Essential Dignity. Active Element: Active elements correspond with an extroverted nature, are creators, pioneers, and demonstrate more will and force. They correspond with yang energy. Fire and Air are active elements. See Fire (Element) and Air (Element). Aesculapia (Asteroid): Aesculapia 1027 relates to health, healing, and is often associated with healers, physicians, or those in the health and medical professions. Thus, Aesculapia rising in a birth chart can indicate one with a destiny to become a healer, medical doctor, or to serve in the health, nursing, and healing professions. Affliction: If a planet is afflicted by or in affliction with another planet, there is an unfavorable aspect between the two, e.g., opposition or square. See also Aspect; Opposition; Square. Air (Element): An active element that corresponds with intellectualism, analysis, logic, philosophy, objectivity, and a desire to make social change. Air relates to politics, government, the external sphere of the self, communication, public relations, thought, and rational skepticism. Air can also be indecisive, capricious, unreliable, aloof, detached, or frenetic. The Air signs are Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini. Air signs are intelligent, more likely to pursue higher education, humane, and exhibit refined taste.
