Astrological Definitions FAQ Periodic Posting
Edmond Wollmann
If you are familiar with Astrology, you are probably aware of the
tremendous insight about yourself and others this complex subject
affords once mastered. A horoscope properly prepared for the time, date
and place of one's birth, can be the most useful tool of understanding
when applied and understood properly. It cannot be delineated through a
newspaper sunsign column or a 1-900 phone number!
Astrology is the study of the synchronistic interaction of the psyche
and it's reflection in the physical world. Inner and outer are one. The
horoscope allows us to see the factors in both realms to understand how
we are creating what we are creating.
When blended with other paradigms of the helping professions it becomes
a powerful tool of insight, and guide to remediation psychologically
towards the redefinition and reframing of psychic material on all
levels.
Astrology combined with psychology assists us in taking responsibility
for the creation of our reality through the recognition and
understanding of how these projected versions of our psyche and
experience have been created, through our choices in belief and
definition of the self.
The horoscope can be likened to a photograph of the solar system
(geocentric perspective of the heavens) at the time of your birth from
the place of your birth of the positions of the planets against the
backdrop of Constellation configurations, or division of the equinox
(areas of space). It reflects a web or matrix of vibrational frequency
(explained as wave-forms in holographic terms), which is then
interpreted by the astrologer or psychologist.
The Horoscope is a map of the mathematical relationship of the planets
to the earth and each other at the time of our birth. It reflects
individuality and identity, it does not cause it. The planets reflect
the archetypal references (existing as ideas) that are inherent in the
Multiverse (many layered universe) holographically. These archetypes
were refined in delineation by the noted psychologist, Carl Jung. These
"ideas" are reflected in all that we see around us because we are one
with the universe and are that reality. Physical reality is a
projection-a version of consciousness in material form.
Perhaps this is where superstitious and uninformed beliefs about
astrology being a mechanistic cause rather than a synchronistic
reflection-comes from.
Here are a few of the unsubstantiated assumptions about astrology;
1) Astrology is a subject that one either "believes" in or not.
Astrology is not a religion or cult. Therefore faith is not required for
it to function. It is a subject that can be known and is operationally
obvious once it is learned. Hence the concept of believing in it is an
effect of the mis-perception of what it is. We cannot believe or not
believe in something that we know nothing about anyway. The sciences are
belief systems it is acknowledged (See Thomas Kuhn and "The Nature of
Scientific Revolutions", University Chicago Press, 1962).
2) Astrology must be an Art or a Science.
Astrology is an Art/Science. The scientific aspect is in the horoscope's
construction, calculation, and mathematical interrelationship
measurements between astronomical bodies against galactic backdrop
(geometries). The art aspect is in the intuited blending of astrological
significators into psychodynamic awareness and the communication of this
awareness and remediation to client. This part, like all crafts, must be
mastered before application can ensue. Physics is now demonstrating that
the consciousness of the observer is intimately connected with the
creation of the observed (Please review "The Self-Aware Universe" by
Amit Goswami, 1993). Astrology contains science-but science cannot
contain astrology.
3) Astrology must be proven scientifically before we can accept it as
valid.
Astrology and science are two different ways of investigating the
universe. The horoscope like art, requires sensibilities not found in
science. However, astrology does contain science found in science. But
astrology is more than science as described above and cannot limit its
application to such a focused and exclusive subject as science.
Science is an element of astrology. Since astrology is an Art/Science
only the scientific aspects can stand empiricism. The Art of
interpretation may be open to debate as to style or application, but
validity is always based on service to client or public-as is
psychology, stock market forecasting, weather forecasting or earthquake
prediction, and none of these are totally empirically working models.
Service is the client's or the served's decision and evaluation as to
life quality enhancement.
4) Astrology influences human behavior.
This myth is the most difficult for everyone. We create our experiential
reality utterly and only as the end product of what we believe or have
been taught to believe is true. However, it must be stated emphatically
that most of these definitions are held in an unconscious state and must
be acknowledged or brought to awareness. The horoscope "causes" nothing.
It is a synchronistic reflection of other aspects of the self and
definitions of reality at any given moment. A vibrational frequency
determination based on the self's definitions. The illusion of external
reality is just that, real while you are focused and oriented to it-but
an illusion none-the-less "All That Is" or God is all that is, and we
are all the different ways that "All That Is" has of expressing itself
within the creation that it is-eternally. Philosophers and Religions
have long known that the "kingdom of heaven is within". This is NOT a
new idea.
The value of astrology is in the ability, through this reflection, to
understand these beliefs and definitions that we may possess
unconsciously so that we can acknowledge and own them. Once we own them
we can redefine them. We cannot change something we do not own! Life is
a configuration of choices. Nothing in the universe has built in
meaning, we give it meaning by the definitions we hold at any given
moment. We then attach this meaning to things, and extract that meaning
from the neutral props known as physical reality. Astrology helps us
understand WHAT meanings we may be attaching to "things" and hence why
we extract what we do.
A Positive meaning in-positive effect out, negative effect in-negative
effect out. This is a simple mechanistic psychological understanding.
Psychological mechanics- which the observer then observes, creates,
establishes theories of, propagates ideas of, collects data from, makes
hypothesis about, and otherwise chooses to make so!
Yes- we create en mass an agreed upon collectively established reality
that appears to be fixed. This is necessary, or we would all have no
common ground on which to relate and share the experience we call
physicality.
But that in no sense means that we are bound 100% to it. Each of us
created the "hallway" of experiential choice at incarnation reflected
through the horoscope.
Our actions-unless consciously acknowledged from unconscious belief and
momentum-are just REactions to the prescription the oversoul (ourselves)
made as a choice of general thematic "hallway" experiences. The free
will of the physical self (the oversoul in its physical version) then
chooses how it will go down this "hallway" but go down this "hallway" we
have already willed. (please refer to Darryl Anka as Bashar and "The
Hallway analogy", 1987).
Our creations have shown this, that even collective limitations are mass
imposed. We have gone to the moon and back. So we can redefine this
collective reality at any given moment as well. It is a preferential
choice based on awareness.
Astrology's best use, is for the enhancement of awareness, alleviation
of self imposed limitation, and the promotion of self actualization and
empowerment through self discovery and positive individuation.
For an individual or a business, the value of astrology is obviously in
providing the understanding of how we project our beliefs and
definitions of reality into reality. Nothing in the universe has built
in meaning. We give it meaning through our definition choices. Many
opportunities are lost for successful relationship, career and financial
preference simply because we know little about ourselves. Clear
understanding of our own and others psychological needs are the primary
benefits of astrological consultation.
We can also project these definition issues by their momentum into the
future. Most of us lack nothing more than the willingness and boldness
to be anything we believe we can define ourselves to be and to look
inwardly with trust for these beliefs.
