Esoteric Astrology - The Astrology of The Soul

This short meditation helps us to relax, align and live in the moment for a brief period of time. Find somewhere relaxed and private and set aside 15 minutes or so just for you.

The video included has background music during the seed thought section but if you find music distracting I've attached a version of the meditation that has removed the music track. You can also download the video version of this meditation if you'd like to continue to use it in future.

We're shooting beyond the scope of the personal when we look at the Soul and this requires new qualities for astrology. We begin by looking at the spiritual expressions of planets.

The Sun represents the present incarnation in esoteric astrology which we explore in this lesson.

Past life patterns and old karma - it's all wrapped up in the Moon.

The next life - the Ascendant is a spoiler to a possible life ahead and hints at the qualities we'll need to cultivate  in this life if we're to get there successfully.

Communication - the bridge between the mind and the manifested. How do we approach Mercury in a more spiritual context?

Love for many is perhaps the most complex of challenges for the personality. How does the Soul view love and how does that express in Venus?

The instincts and raw brute force. They serve us well at the shallow end of the evolutionary pool but they need to be refined if they're going to serve us at a Soul level.

The Law Of Attraction - theosophists Helena Blavatsky, Annie Besant and William Quan Judge talked at length about this law and how it guides the evolution of consciousness. We take a big step back in this lesson and discuss how this law corresponds to the energy of Jupiter.

Saturn - also known in occult circles as the Lord Of Karma. Let's talk about karma - I mean really talk about karma.

Uranus already has a reputation as an upstart and an agitator. But what if this energy was connected to a bigger plan?

Neptune, monkeys and the concept of a group soul. The dots are connected in this lesson.

Pluto is already connected with death in Astrology. But what exists beyond the illusion of death and how does this apply to Pluto? We ask the Hindu Goddess Kali for answers.

The blackmith of the Gods and a theoretical planet in astrology. What is the role of Vulcan in the journey of the aspirant?

All this talk about the Soul - it's easy to forget about the physical world when you are looking out to the cosmos. The Earth is the bridge between the spiritual journey and the physical body.

This is a simple, yet powerful little meditation that encourages you to look inward and to identify self-sabotaging traits that no longer serve you or hold you back from growth.

By now we're so familiar with the signs of the zodiac and the almost comical way they go about their business at the personal level. In this section we assign new spiritual rulers to the twelve signs of the zodiac and explore how that impacts their direction and purpose.

With the esoteric ruler Mercury, Aries receives a promotion.

Under the hammer of Vulcan, Taurus throws off it's shackles and aims for the stars.

Gemini - influencing before influencing was even a thing.

Cancer has been carrying everything it needs for a journey in that shell but Neptune provides the ticket and transportation.

The Sun shines for everyone, not just itself and this is the spiritual aspiration of Leo.

Emerging from the fires of Vulcan, everything changes when Virgo stops sweating the details.

It's at the esoteric level where we truly begin to see Libra in it's cardinal glory.

Living by a code and carrying that blade on their hip - those born under the constellation of Scorpio are not like the rest of us.

Reckless, irresponsible and scared of nothing - nobody reaches the crisis of the personality faster than the centaur.

Discipline, time, patience and Karma - the four great levelers.

Without love, Intelligence is dangerous, Without intelligence, love is not enough. Some signs are dangerous to other people, some to themselves. Aquarius as a personality - with it's love of knowledge and lack of empathy is potentially a danger to all.

There are different kinds of strength, and esoteric Pisces possesses the kind that saves others.

We observe ourselves from the perspective of the soul in this meditation. It cultivates detachment and self-observation.

When we stop talking only about ourselves the exoteric houses are no longer relevant. The esoteric houses rule the soul driven and the aware.

Me, me, me - me too...

Money and values - the quandary of the soul struggling toward enlightenment. How does money impact spirituality?

The power of words and the shape of water. We explore both in this lesson.

Family, trauma and the universal brotherhood of man - they all draw from the same well at the soul level.

The inner child and the cruel, cruel world. How do we hold onto naivety in a cold world?

The sixth house - the bridge between the personal houses and the social houses, and the changing room for the personality.

Love and relationships - the proving ground for selflessness. Sometimes the better we are at love, the more we doom ourselves as a Soul.

Working with our karma often comes with risks, in the same way that working with uranium exposes you to radiation. It poisons us the longer we leave it buried but it's at our most dangerous when we hold it in our hands.

Philosophy and religion - they never go out of fashion and they never lose their importance in astrology.

Perception, purpose and a fake German heiress.

The slap that shook the world and the predictable way we responded.

At our lowest point we cease to be even human. We are simply waiting.

At the time this course was being created, Johnny Depp's life was public property as he went through the legal process with Amber Heard. Was he set up? By his Soul I mean. Let's explore.

Cold war juggernaut or veiled reformist? It's easy to create a picture in our heads of Vladimir Putin as Russian forces press their way in the Ukraine. But what lies behind the mask of the Russian President? We explore the war of the personality and the Soul in this lesson.
