Our astrological signs

[Lighthead]

Yeah, I think that you definitely could use astrology like that. But I think that it's just mainly used to find out about people, places and things. I, personally, have never meditated on a planet or anything like that. I've pondered over that kind of thing since I was a kid. But I don't see why you couldn't do that. And come to think of it, I used to have a book on magick that dealt with absorbing the energies of the planets and utilizing them for magical purposes. It even dealt with the tarot. The author even linked the tarot, astrology and the tree of life. For someone who's into the LOO material, that book would be phenomenal. The book is called, New Millennium Magic by Donald Tyson. I thought it was interesting. But since I never really got too deep into magic(k), it wasn't as useful for me. It's an extremely fascinating book, though. A little difficult to understand, but it's good. But knowing about magick helps.

Oh I wouldn't meditate on the planets either hehe. I was coming from the perspective that I'm beginning to see how useful astrology can be for understanding our archetypal nature, which is basically what I think you're saying about how it helps us understand people.

Did you know Ra suggested looking into astrology and the tree of life as well?

76.9 We shall repeat information. It is appropriate to study one form of constructed and organized distortion of the archetypical mind in depth in order to arrive at the position of being able to become and to experience archetypes at will. You have three basic choices. You may choose astrology, the twelve signs, as you call these portions of your planet’s energy web, and what has been called the ten planets. You may choose the tarot with its twenty-two so-called Major Arcana. You may choose the study of the so-called Tree of Life with its ten Sephiroth and the twenty-two relationships between the stations.

It is well to investigate each discipline, not as a dilettante, but as one who seeks the touchstone, one who wishes to feel the pull of the magnet. One of these studies will be more attractive to the seeker. Let the seeker then investigate the archetypical mind using, basically, one of these three disciplines. After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step: that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind.

Yes, I think that astrology can def help us in that way. But to be honest, I feel that I've been studying it for so long (since I was a kid) that it's hard for me to see its objective value and analyze it from a universal perspective. It's kind of hard to explain what I'm talking about. But I do like the archetypal aspect of it like you said.

I definitely did know that about what Ra said, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. I used to be into Seth before I was into Ra, and Seth said very little about astrology. In total, he did say some stuff about astrology.
