(Transcript by Hugo Pit)
(1-0.12.30) We start with the zodiac and correlate this with an evolutionary point of view. The
first thing we want to understand about the zodiac itself is that it specifically and symbolically
correlates with the totality of consciousness in the human form on earth, in time-space reality.
Understanding that there are all kinds of consciousnesses in all kinds of planes or universes, what
the zodiac correlates to is consciousness on earth in the human form, in time-space reality, in
totality. You see, when you start trying to understand the differences between planets and signs,
there is literally no difference. What you want to embrace here is that when you have a zodiac
and signs on houses and so on, and planets in a chart, what you are actually looking at is how
any given consciousness is structured. The planets within that chart correlate specifically to the
psychology operative within that consciousness. It is just like having a car, but you have to put
gas in the gas tank to make the car go. Gas is the planets, the car is the zodiac. [IMPORTANT
NOTE: FOR THE ESSENTIAL ARCHETYPES, ALSO REFER TO "Pluto through the Houses and Signs"
in "Pluto, Vol. 1"]

(1-0.14.30) ARIES is the start point. Look at Aries itself. There are a number of archetypes.
First of all it is a cardinal archetype. It is also a yang, or male, archetype. This is correlating with
the energy of consciousness moving out from the center, projected energy, whereas the yin, or
feminine, archetype indicates energy returning to the center, and necessarily so. This is a natural
polarity. The kind of universe we are living in is a polarity type universe, day/night, and we all
operate through the law of polarity in this kind of time-space reality. In Aries, being a
yang/cardinal archetype, Fire, we are looking at what is called the original anxiety of separation
from the womb. Now think of this through the natural symmetry of the zodiac. As an example,
why is it that Mars is considered a lower octave of Pluto? There is a natural inconjunct
relationship between Aries and Scorpio. The lower octave of Pluto is Mars, and yet Aries is also
naturally square Cancer. Cancer correlates with the womb.

If we understand that Pluto corresponds with the Soul and embraces dual desires (one desire to
separate, one desire to return), and Mars is correlating to the lower octave of Pluto or the Soul,
i.e. a subjective state of awareness that is aware of the nature of our desires, we then are looking
at the original anxiety of separation, relative to birth in the first place. We see how this operates.
Think of that symbolically - the original anxiety of separation, and how that original anxiety
becomes the causal factor or seed with respect to Cancer insecurity. There is a natural square.

7
The crisis of birth is the inconjunct from 8th to 1st, which then automatically and simultaneously
triggers insecurity, separation from the womb - Cancer. Aries is going to correlate, as is Mars, i.e.
lower octave of Pluto. Mars here demonstrates the subjective awareness within all consciousness
in all of us that is aware of the nature of our separating desires. The types of desires that we
have subjectively, that we act upon relative to our evolutionary requirements in each life. It
demonstrates the archetype of separation, which also correlates with the archetype of the
continuous state of becoming. To have a universal experience called a continuous state of
becoming proves evolution.

Let us agree that astrology can only reflect life, not cause it. For all to be in a continuous state of
becoming, there has to be a mechanism or dynamic or causal factor that correlates with the state
of becoming, and that archetypally is desire. So, 1st house, Aries, and Mars, all correlate to the
types of desires that we can subjectively be aware of. This specifically connects to our
evolutionary necessity or requirements. The desires themselves emanate from the Soul, of
course, Pluto. But how many of us are consciously aware of the Soul? The Soul in most people
is, in fact, unconscious, and the way most people can be aware of what is going on in the Soul is
through the nature of the subjective awareness. And at this level, Mars.

Q: - ? A: The desires are specific to Pluto and Mars. In the birth chart you can have a sign on the
Ascendant, you may have planets in the 1st house, that Ascendant is having a planetary ruler
that is located in its own house and sign and having aspects, you can have Aries located
somewhere, you can have Mars by sign located somewhere, this can be making aspects. Now we
can see the complexity and the diversity.

Q: - ? A: ... Example: it is not uncommon when you have an afflicted Pluto to find some degree
of genetic damage. Pluto specifically corresponds with the genetic structure of the body,
RNA/DNA. But the deeper question is, why has the Soul chosen that body to come into? The
primary cause is the Soul. Since the Soul is the cause, Pluto has a direct correlation to the genes.

So, in any case, we are all in a state of becoming, and Mars then correlates to this phenomena.
Every second, every minute, every hour, even if you take your last breath, you are in a state of
becoming the next level of existence. On this basis, this is exactly why Aries and Mars and the
Ascendant require freedom. All of you have read in your happy books that somehow Aries
correlates with the need for freedom, without telling you why. Aries, Mars, Ascendant require
essential freedom. Why is this? In order to act upon the core desires that connect with the
evolutionary requirements. And on this basis, Aries, Mars, Ascendant, want no constriction or
restriction whatsoever. In itself it wants absolute freedom. Which is why, when you come back

8
to the natural inconjunct to Scorpio, this creates in all people a subconscious fear (Mars correlates
here to fear) of entrapment. Entrapment is the archetype of 8th house, Pluto, Scorpio. The
related dynamic is commitment. So you see that through this natural inconjunction, there is an
intrinsic stress to consciousness, relative to what? The fear of becoming overly committed or
entrapped with respect to circumstances that limit (8th, Pluto) the necessary essential freedom to
become. That is a universal experience. Wherever you go on this planet, whomever you talk to,
everybody is having this archetype in their consciousness. The difference in every human being is
the extent to which this is emphasized. If you have a dominant 1st, it is emphasized. If you
have a T-square with Mars it is emphasized. If you have Mars on the South Node it is
emphasized. If you have Mars in 8 , it is emphasized. So it requires essential freedom.
th

...Now, if you look at the natural symmetry, you have an opposition to Libra or 7th. This is the
archetype of relationship, or to complete our self in a relationship, and they both T-square the
4th. Archetypally this is called an emotional paradox linked with relationships. On one side of
the emotional paradox is our need for freedom, and on the other side of the paradox is our need
for relationships, fueled by desire. So we also find in consciousness what? An intrinsic emotional
paradox linked with relationship. When you connect this back to the 8th of entrapment, do you
see how this is operating here? It becomes operative, if we are in a relationship in which our
partner is excessively needy or, conversely, we ourselves may be excessively needy, and trigger
this dynamic in our partner. T his is particularly relevant in cultures like this that promote
codependency in relationship models. As a cultural model, codependency is promoted. And Aries
wants freedom, Mars wants freedom, the Soul wants freedom. It is very, very important, when
you start doing this kind of work, to have a fundamental sociological understanding of culture and
of cultures all over the world. Each culture creates conditioning patterns for its citizens that are
based on consensus expectations. That is a Capricorn phenomenon. So now if you look at this
(we have a Capricorn in any chart, we have a 10th in every chart, we have a Saturn in every
chart. You can see there is also a T-square from 10th to 1st to 7th, relative to the opposition of
the 4th house. So the deeper question becomes, how is the nature of our social conditioning
facilitating or restricting our essential need for freedom to become what our evolutionary
requirements dictate? What is the extent of our conditioning patterns, and did they shape and
form our sense of identity? If you grew up in the 1930's in America and your primary cultural
conditioning, relative to relationships, was Betty Crocker and Marlboro Man, how was your cultural
conditioning? The point here is how much conditioning shapes our sense of identity. And is that
conditioning factor supportive of who we are or is it not? That is the point.

To be good evolutionary astrologers ,you have to have a sociological understanding of reality. I

9
think we would agree that if we grew up in a culture in Zaire, the nature of our conditioning there
- what reality is and what is not - would be fundamentally different than the conditioning patterns
of America, or Tibet, or Mongolia. You must have this kind of knowledge. Take Germany - they
have no word for emotion. Language is a conditioning factor. We still have Cancer in the birth
chart. We still have a Moon. Meaning, even if we have no word for it, the human being has
emotion. Sociologically, you are in a culture that is conditioning you to repress emotion.

Q: - ? A: Each culture has its own type of conditioning. The deeper question then becomes, why
has the Soul chosen to be in this culture or that culture? It ultimately connects to evolutionary
necessity and/or karmic requirement. And these are two different things.

(1-0.33.00) Ascendant. Any sign that you have on the Ascendant in whatever chart is going to
correlate with what? The types of desires that Soul has on a subjective level that correlate with
its own sense of self-discovery as an independent being and an individual, distinct from everyone
else. Try to understand how each individual being on earth understands who it is as an
individual. That what is individual about itself occurs ultimately through Libra, through
comparison and contrast.

Here we sit in a small group. Instinctually (Mars/Aries/Ascendant), all of us on an instinctual

level compare and evaluate through Libra. And what are we comparing and evaluating? All the
individuals around us. It is through comparison and evaluation/contrast: "Oh, this is me!". This
is a universal archetypal experience. Understand that the Ascendant does not correlate with the
persona. That is one of the greatest screw-ups in astrology. The persona implies what? A
constructed image. The Ascendant, Mars, and Aries operate instinctually. And instinct means
without forethought or preconception. And as a result, the Ascendant simply correlates to how we
are instinctually projecting (yang/cardinal/fire) our self in our overall environment. The
Descendant specifically correlates with what we call the persona. The Descendant correlates with
how we consciously construct a persona as we interact consciously with other people. Within,
that is how you are instinctually projecting within the construction, the interaction between the
Ascendant and the Descendant.

Take the example of Scorpio rising. People say you are intense. But you cannot know yourself as
intense. You are just the way you are. The Scorpio rising person does not know itself as intense.
It is instinctually being the way it is. Then it hears from other people how intensely it projects
itself. And in this case you have Taurus on the Descendant. So what can we assume as the
constructed persona? How is Taurus going to deliver itself? Is it not a constructed persona that
appears to be self-contained? And does appear to be self-sufficient? And within this conscious

10
construction, the Scorpio Ascendant lives. Meaning what? Just try to describe a Scorpio
Ascendant, relative to Taurus Descendant, walking into a room. He probably walks into the room
with his head slightly down, walking straight where he wants to walk.

Q: - ? A: What you have here is a situation where the Taurus Descendant is constructing a
persona, for what reason? Why is this persona constructed? The answer in this case lies in the
Scorpio Ascendant. What is the point here? Keeping in mind that Scorpio and Mars and Aries
correlate with fear.

Q: For protection. A: That is right! And what is the protection dynamic that is igniting this?
When Scorpio is on the Ascendant, and going back to where we started. i.e. a Soul that is creating
a certain kind of desire complex that correlates with evolutionary necessity, you have a Soul with
a series of prior lives with trust violated, emotional trust violated. And as a result, Scorpio
Ascendant has an instinctual fear of betrayal, emotional betrayal, violations of trust. The rug
being removed from under their feet. T hat is operating in a very intense way within the Soul,
instinctually. The reaction to these fears, instinctually, is to conceal, to remain self-contained,
Taurus descendant. When it interacts with people, what is it doing? It is instinctually testing.
There is a preservation instinct that is now emphasized, relative to the fear. When a Scorpio
walks into a room, there is an instinctual and intensive feeling of that environment, even if he
does not show it. He will instinctually locate himself in a room where he feels most secure. And
from that vantage point, he instinctually feels what is going all around - whom he can trust or not
trust. If you start interacting with that person, initially there is an instinctual scrutinizing - where
is that person coming from? They are instinctually evaluating that person's emotional
psychology, motives, intentions, agendas. This is operating instinctually. What is the causal
factor again? This underlying fear.

Q: - ? A: Yes, what you are now talking about is in fact our evolutionary intention. To
understand these things and not just leave them operating there at a subconscious or instinctual
level without doing work.

Q: - ? A: 80% of life comes down to free choice.

Q: - ? A: That is not predetermined. That is an intention, but an intention requires a choice.

Now, again, to reiterate the key points. Mars, Aries, the sign on the ascendant, correlate with the
types of desires that we can subjectively know, that emanate from the Soul, and these desires are
operating instinctually, without forethought. They require necessary freedom in order to act upon
and actualize these desires. Again, the underlying archetype - fire, yang, cardinal, all energy

11
moving out from the center. It is the original separation from the womb. From another point of
view, a larger point of view, it is the separation that the Soul creates in the sense of making an
ego. It is creating a specific identity in each life. From a deeper point of view you can now go all
the way back to the point of view from God, and the original separation God made that we call
Creation.

Now, part of the instinct of separation also correlates with the sexual instinct. Because if we
understand that the ultimate causal factor of all of creation is called God, or the Source, or the
Higher Mind, or whatever term you want to use, we think about it symbolically and logically. God
itself created an act of separation from itself, what we call Creation. Everything within that
created Creation is a part of that original Creator called God. So, in effect, everything within that
creation has the co-capacity to create as God does. That operates in many, many ways. At this
point of evolution in this time-space reality, to sustain that projected creation, to co-create like
God, we also have to make babies. Thus the sexual instinct.

So, Pluto in relation to Mars correlates also with the sexual instinct in all organisms. Try to
understand that the instinct to procreate, the sexual instinct, emanates from what is called the
primary brain within the overall brain. And think of this word 'primary'. Mars correlates with that
in life which is called primary, primal. Now, the primary brain connects to all the instinctual
involuntary functions of the body. It regulates instinctually these functions, as in breathing, as in
the sexual instinct, as in excreting, as in eating food. These things operate instinctually. Long
ago there was only one brain in the human organism, called the primary brain.

And over a great length of evolutionary time, the other brain evolved around it. It is called the
cerebral cortex. But long ago, when the primary brain was the only brain in the human organism,
there was an absolute alignment of the human organism with the totality of the creation. Why?
Because the human organism was operating instinctually. And it is only through great lengths of
evolutionary time that this other brain evolved around it, as the level of consciousness within the
brain deepened and expanded. And over time this super-brain started to become conditioned by
what? Man-made law versus natural law. The primary brain operates through natural law. And
over thousands and thousands of years we have all become progressively conditioned by man-
made law.

Now, here is the point. Mars, Aries, the sign on the Ascendant, the location of the planetary ruler,
aspects they are making, correlate with the natural sexual instincts, the types of sexual desires
we instinctually have that ultimately connect to evolutionary necessity in each life; the kinds of
sexual desires you have to facilitate your evolution in each life. And yet, is it not possible for
these natural sexual desires to be conditioned by culture at this point in evolution? And if these
natural desires, that are a function of natural-law, which are a function of your evolutionary

12
requirements, become conditioned to religious and sociological considerations that may have the
impact of altering or suppressing or in some way distorting these natural desires, what then is
going to happen to this consciousness? Anything that becomes suppressed becomes distorted.

If we go back, for example, to German culture and no word for emotionalism, meaning repressed
emotion, which is now simultaneously repressing the sexual instinct, is it any stretch of logic to
now see how people like Hitler came to pass? Even in Germany today there is a renaissance of S
& M sexual activity. Why? Based on a repression of the natural sexual instinct that becomes
distorted. So the sexual instinct emanates from the primary brain and operates instinctually.
Yes, it can be controlled through conditioning, but nonetheless it is operative. So the primary
brain itself specifically connects to Aries, Mars. So now what are we looking at? We have a
whole complex of desires that emanate from Pluto, that come through Mars/Aries/1st house, and
part of these instinctual desires are sexual. This specifically correlates with the Soul's
evolutionary necessity and also correlates with what we can call sexual karma. For example,
undergoing sexual karma is not uncommon for a woman having Mars/Pluto opposition. That is
the classical archetypal rape signature, or at minimum, psychological, emotional or sexual
violence. What is this correlating to? What is the connection here? How come there is also an
archetypal linkage to what is called split personality? What is the possible connection to sexual
karma? I will deal with this later, in the second segment.

Aries/Mars/Ascendant can also connect or correlate with the archetype we call anger or rage.
How come? What would be the connection here? T he only point to understand now is that this
archetype correlates with the phenomena of anger or rage. See, if you learn these methods over
and over, ultimately what you have to play here is astrological detective. Because the next step
becomes, what is the causal factor in the anger?

Q: - ? A: Fear has many applications, and I think we could probably argue in the last analysis
that the ultimate anger, so to speak, is just based on the fact that God decided to create
anything, and just kind of turned us loose here. There could be an anger based on the original
anxiety of separation.

Q: - ? A: Well, like the example we just used with Pluto/Mars opposition, would it not be logical
to conclude, possibly, that that Soul has had a series of prior lives in which its emotional nature
and trust that it extended to other people was severely betrayed and violated? And that the
basis of the unresolved anger and rage at birth is based on emotional and sexual violation linked
with violations of trust? Could it not be a situation - as for example, if you make it more specific,
with Pluto in Virgo and Mars in Pisces - that that individual, in fact, had a whole level of what is
called acquired guilt? And the consequent need Virgo/Pisces had to atone for the guilt, producing
a pathology of masochism. If I had been in a series of lives within a masochistic pathology,

13
becoming a causal factor in all kinds of unresolved anger and rage at birth?

Q: - ? A: In this scenario (Pluto in Virgo / Mars in Pisces), there would be in 99% of the cases an
intrinsic inability to see the link between the nature of their own desires and that which they are
creating as a function of the desires. In fact, in the pathology of masochism at this level it would
be more convenient to feel victimized, to point fingers. As long as that Soul kept pointing fingers
there would be no causal change in the operative archetype.

Q: - ? A: If you connect that sexually in that particular example, you will find that that Soul at
some point prior to this life accepted a man-made religious doctrine that correlated with the
assumption that somehow spirit and flesh were antagonistic, Mars/Pluto opposition Virgo/Pisces.
And that, based on accepting that man-made doctrine, probably suppressed this natural
instinctual sexual function. And this itself is a causal factor in the rage.

(1-0.58.00) There is a new idea that is not in any written material yet. The relationship between
Mars and Pluto. This is connected with the idea of primary phases. There are eight primary
phases. It tends to take eight specific lifetimes to work out any specific evolutionary intent.
Eight is the number of the Soul, which happily correlates with the eight primary phases. When
we start looking at the phasal relationship between Mars and Pluto, let us say Mars and Pluto are
in a First-quarter phase in this life, we are looking at the two phases that preceded the First-
quarter phase - Crescent, New. What that is going to tell you is that that Soul has been working
on the evolutionary intention demonstrated in the chart (Pluto, polarity point, ...). You are
looking at a Soul that already had two prior lives working on that intention. If you have got it all
the way back to Balsamic, this is a culmination of the cycle. Do you see the idea here? Now, this
does not mean that in those eight lifetimes the charts are identical. That is not true. Why?
Because there is evolutionary progression, and each life will reflect that progression. But when
you look at that, the signature in the birth chart (Pluto, polarity point, North and South Node,
planetary rulers, and so on), what that is telling you is what the original intention was. And in
what state of evolution that Soul is, in terms of working that out or through.

Why is this important to understand? It goes right back to the following example. If I buy a new
pair of pants and first put them on, do they feel comfortable? No. But when I have worn them
five years, then what? Similarly, when you are looking at the birth chart and you see the phasal
relationship between Mars and Pluto, and you are looking at a Soul that has had five lives dealing
with that specific intention, this means that Soul is already used to it, it is already familiar with it.
Thus the resistance is going to be less. Pluto correlates archetypally to resistance to necessary
change. Thus their conscious awareness of the process is going to be much higher than, say,
when you are having Mars/Pluto in a New phase. That is correlating to a first life, relative to the
intention demonstrated in the Pluto stuff. You can also apply this same idea to composite charts,

14
in terms of what the lessons are between the couple, and how long they have been working at it.

Q: - ? A: Numerologically, the root number here is two. If you divide two into eight, you have
four. If you add four to eight you have twelve. So right away we are correlating to 4, 8, and 12,
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. The Soul is Scorpio, the ego that the Soul creates is Cancer, the
transcendence of the ego from identifying with just itself is Pisces. So you see this natural trinity
and the evolution right there. See how it works? If you divide two into twelve, what do you
have? The six primary chakras. If you divide two into six, what do you have? The law of the
Trinity.

(1-1.04.41) TAURUS. This naturally moves into the sign Taurus. And Taurus archetypally is yin,
fixed and earth. So what is the underlying archetype here, following Aries? If we stayed within
Aries, we would just fly off into space and disintegrate. This is energy perpetually moving out
from the center. So we have to have the next archetype to bring that energy back towards the
center and to consolidate. To get specific form through which the energy can operate, to stabilize
it, to earth, plant, ground, root it. Now, the deepest issue in Taurus and/or 2nd house, and the
Taurus side of Venus, following the principle of instinct and desire, it correlates with the instinct
within all human beings to survive. Thus, the survival instinct. Every organism has a survival
instinct.

If you look at this through time and space, thousands of years, millennia of human evolution,
when you go back way into time, if you look at the nature of the human condition, survival was a
minute to minute phenomena. In the beginning, survival was dependent on the inherent
resources that each organism had to survive, the resources to survive. Whatever your survival
requirement was or is, whatever it takes for you to be surviving your life, it will specifically
correlate with the sense of value that you have in your life, meaning the survival instinct
specifically correlates with the formation of your value system. Whatever those values are that
equal your survival instinct, these automatically correlate to your sense of meaning in life. What
you value supplies your meaning. From this natural progression, values equaling meaning
correlate with the nature of your belief structures or belief systems, which then correlate to the
formation of philosophy or religion. So, following Aries, the types of desires we have that equal
the state we have of evolutionary becoming will automatically have a linkage to what we value,
which then correlates to the sense of meaning, which then connects to our sense of belief.

Q: - ? A: The underlying archetype in the inconjunction is the archetype of crisis.

Now, part of the survival instinct correlates with the human species needing to procreate itself,
following Aries. So, where the procreation instinct is actually embodied is in the 2nd house.
Now, connecting the values and meaning to whatever sign is on the 2nd house, where the

15
location of the planetary ruler is, the aspects it is making, wherever the sign Venus is in and the
aspects it is making, where we find the sign Taurus in the birth chart; in combination these are
going to specifically correlate with what? Your personal values that can all correlate to your sense
of personal meaning. It is going to specifically correlate with the intrinsic nature of your sexual
values, where you are coming from inwardly.

In order to survive, all of us on earth have to either learn or are already consciously aware of the
dynamic we call self-reliance or self-sufficiency, to be self-contained, self-sustaining. Now, if you
correlate this with the survival instinct, it is a very simple picture. Any human being has an
inherent resource that they can access that will connect to the sense of self-sustainment, the
ability to be self-sustaining. And yet. we are also simultaneously aware of what we need to
continue our survival. In other words, we may in fact not possess everything that we need
inwardly for our life to be sustained, which is why you have a natural inconjunction to the 7th
house, the Libra side of Venus. This creates the awareness within consciousness intrinsically of
what we also need to survive, things that we need that we do not currently have. This then
makes us aware of other human beings and what other human beings intrinsically possess within
themselves that we may need from them to support our own self-sustainment.

Now this is a very delicate point archetypally, keeping in mind there is a natural inconjunction
here - more of this in the second segment about relationships - but right here, what it correlates
to is what? On the one hand, I can be aware of what I have to sustain myself. On the other hand,
aware of what I need from other people for that sustainment to be continued. So now we have
the delicate balance between what? Self-sustainment, and needs projected onto other people. The
inconjunction is projected needs. So wherein lies the delicate balance? Because Libra is an
extreme, Venus is an extreme, I might be in a cycle of my life wherein I am projecting too much
of my need, I am becoming too needy, too codependent. At that point the inconjunction
automatically is ignited. In what way?

It creates an emotional psychological crisis to consciousness. My projected needs that I am

projecting on other people are not being met at the levels I expect, which then creates the
necessary disillusionment, through the inconjunction, which then reinforces the 2nd house or
Taurus or the Taurus side of Venus. Uh, oh, now it is time to look to myself, to re-orientate to
self-reliance, self-sustainment, because of the nature of the crisis that forces me back to myself.
Conversely, I might have all kinds of fears following the Ascendant that equal my fear of social
interaction. And I might do the opposite extreme, I might do Taurus so much that I keep myself
totally isolated from everyone and everything. But this creates a limitation to consciousness.
Consciousness grows through interaction, through counterpoint awarenesses by becoming that
which it is not, over evolutionary time.

16
The consciousness cannot stay in one dynamic forever because then you do not have growth. So
at this point of extreme, the consciousness will begin to feel what? Totally isolated, totally cut-off,
because it is too withdrawn. At this point it is not feeling any sense of growth whatsoever. It is
only experiencing stagnation. And at that point the inconjunction operates in the opposite
direction. Now it creates a cycle in which that person must now go out and embrace life, embrace
social interaction. The 2nd house, Taurus and the Taurus side of Venus are quite analogous to
the wonderful image of the frog in the well. The frog sits in the bottom of the well, it sees only
this much sky and thinks it is the whole universe. It is very comfortable there, it is secure and
can control its space. But we have to keep in mind, also through the law of polarity, there is an
8th house here. And the 8th house, on one level, archetypally correlates with the necessity of
confrontation. The positive intention of confrontation is to make us aware of the nature of our
limitations so that we evolve and metamorphosize beyond those limitations. So if the 2nd house
becomes too rooted, too stuck in this well, at that point the Soul will then produce the necessary
confrontation, be it internal or external, to force the frog from the well. Why? To show it more of
the sky.

This also correlates with the sexual dynamic. Again, the 2nd house is showing you (wherever the
sign is, planets and so on, the Taurus side of Venus), following Mars, what that person's natural
sexual instincts and values and inner orientations are. And yet, we also have an 8th house. How
come that sign is the opposite of the one on the 2nd? Here we have the law of polarity all over
again, meaning all of us should grow through what? Through counterpointal, or oppositional,
awareness. So what that sign on the 8th is showing you, and its planetary ruler and so on, are
the kinds of sexual experiences that the Soul creates for itself, draws to itself in order to grow
beyond where it comes into life at.

Example, a person having Aries on 2nd, Mars in 2nd, Moon in Pisces, male. What you are looking
at is a man who at a sexual level would be number one, but relative to Moon in Pisces, hyper-
sensitive, with an almost feminine-like emotional nature that is going to be not operating well in a
Marlboro Man type of society, in which you have all kinds of sexual expectations that are
promoted through what - Playboys, Playgirls etc. In a sexual situation, it would not be unlikely
for that man to be pre-ejaculatory. Libra on the 8th. If he just stayed within that Taurean shell,
that man who is hypersensitive and may have had a few Mars in Aries sexual experiences where
he found himself to be pre-ejaculatory, becoming overly stimulated too quick, now gets feedback
from the woman “You are too fast!” How is that going to imprint that man's emotional, sexual
nature into adulthood? If he had just stayed rooted into that box, based on the fear of being
rejected or of getting that kind of feedback? There is no growth. So in this case, having Libra on
8th is demanding what? That this person learns how to share, to communicate this problem in the

17
relationship. And by putting it on the table, hopefully drawing a woman who can now help him
slow down. By what? By 2nd house patience.

Q: - ? A: Now, keep in mind this critical point that correlates to the instinct in the human species
to survive. And the resources that we all intrinsically have that correlate to our capacity to
survive and, on that basis, correlate to self-sustainment, self-sufficiency and self-reliance. It is a
very important archetype to understand, again because in cultures like this, the antithesis of self-
reliance is being promoted. It is an utterly dependent culture. So whatever sign you find on the
2nd in whatever chart, the location of its planetary ruler by its own house and sign, the aspects it
is making; this will specifically correlate with the inherent resources that you are born with in
order to effect self-sustainment, self-reliance, and with the values you are born with to connect
your sense of meaning in life - what life means for you. It correlates with your sexual values that
you are born with, your intrinsic sexual nature. You back that up with the location of Mars and
understanding the Taurus side of Venus.

(1-1.23.00) GEMINI. We now move into the 3rd house, male or yang/mutable/air. Now, what
does this connect to? What is the archetype here? All of us will agree that the nature of the
projected creation, in essence, is, in reality, phenomenal, purely phenomenal. It is called the
world of appearances, the world of shapes and forms. For instance, a desk does not call itself a
desk. In and of itself, it is a phenomenal object in space. The function of Gemini and Mercury is
to give names and classifications to the phenomenal nature of reality in order to create an
intellectual system of organization that allows us to logically order phenomenal reality. That is
the fundamental archetype.

Q: - ? A: It is phenomenal. And yet, for the human organism to feel secure it must give names
and classifications to the phenomenal appearance of creation, in order to create an intellectual
system of organization that allows us to explain the nature of creation, our life, our reality. This is
the function of Gemini and Mercury.

So, by this archetype being yang and air, we have again the symbolism of energy moving out
from the center. At the 2nd house we had to consolidate, bring energy back to the center, to get
form and substance and reality to what was occurring in Aries. In and of itself, everything
stopped there, creating inertia; the frog in the well. So, consciousness must now re-expand. This
is why we now have Gemini. So by creating an intellectual organization of our experience, we are
able to communicate, not only within our self, i.e. our inner thinking process, but of course
communicating with other people that which is occurring within our self.

The desire that functions through Gemini and 3rd is the desire to know as much as possible.
There is no inherent limit to Gemini, in and of itself. It is a series of progressively expanding
concentric circles. This is why, through Gemini, we have a related archetype or word that we can

18
call opinions. Opinion does not necessarily correlate with truth, other than the truth contained in
your opinion. The phenomena of what we can call truth, in and of itself, is
Sagittarius/9th/Jupiter. In other words, since there has been a creation which has been
projected, there are intrinsic and natural laws. The key word here is natural laws that naturally
explain the truth of the projected creation. For example, the natural law of gravity. This goes
beyond opinion. Nobody can debate it. It is simply a given relative to natural law. We cannot
debate gravity.

Q: - ? A: There are all kinds of natural laws. At this point in time, by the way, there is a
tremendous thought to embrace, because now we are moving more towards the Aquarian age.
This is really going to reflect a transition or liberation that connects to moving away from man-
made law and to re-embracing natural law. Philosophically speaking, natural law is contained in
what is called Shamanism, which is fundamentally different from, let us say, Roman Catholic
thought, which is an example of man-made law. Remember, men are better than women here.
In natural law you rapidly understand that the role of the feminine is superior to the masculine.
That is a radical thought for men, especially for Roman Catholic priests. So the point here is that
9th/Sag/Jupiter correlate with the phenomena of what we call truth, truth that explains the
projected nature of the creation through the natural principles and laws that are demonstrated in
nature.

And yet, all of this coming through Gemini gives rise to what? We can look at the phenomena of
natural law and natural perspective from all kinds of points of view, Gemini. If we witness a car
accident, we will have different points of view of how we interpret it. The phenomena of
interpreting is in fact a Sagittarian phenomena, but we operate through the law of polarity. The
polarity to Sag is Gemini/Mercury. From the point of view of the brain or consciousness, there is
the dichotomy between the left and the right brain here. The left brain is Mercury, the right brain
is Jupiter. The right brain is non-linear. It is an inductive brain, it is an image-based brain.
Whereas the left brain is logical and deductive, A, B, C.

Now if we go back to the point in the beginning, the nature of cultural conditioning, if I am
growing up in Aboriginal Australia, I am being conditioned by my immediate culture to operate
through my right brain. If I grow up in a culture like this, I am being conditioned to operate
through my left brain. Do you see what I am getting at here? The nature of
conditioning/emphasis. So the left brain is giving all these names and classifications, opinions,
points of view, relative to what is occurring in the right brain. And I would suggest here that for
many people on earth their brains are not in balance, what in modern healing is called brain
switching, i.e. a conflict, polarization, the struggle between.

Now, from the point of view of evolution, whatever sign you have on that 3rd house, the location

19
of its planetary ruler (house, sign, aspects), wherever you find Mercury (house, sign, aspects),
wherever you find the sign Gemini, wherever you find the sign Virgo, all this is specifically
correlating to what? The nature of your thought. How you think, not only within yourself, but
also how you communicate such thought. And from the point of view of evolution, necessarily so.
In this life I need this kind of mental structure in order to understand the evolutionary reasons for
my existence, which I will now communicate my sense of meaning and values from (2nd house).

Q: - ? A: Anatomically speaking, the function of hearing on a nerve level is Mercury. The

psychology of hearing, how we hear and what we hear, is Venus. It is a very important point.
You may be communicating to me something from your own point of view or intention that means
something to you from your own reality. How I am hearing it is not necessarily how you intend it.
I think most of us clearly see this problem in our intimate relationships.

Q: - ? A: What you have in cultures like this is an out of balance brain structure, relative to
conditioning. Most people are primarily functioning through the left brain and not intentionally
listening even inwardly to what is going on in the right brain. So I think that the symbolism here
is to balance. And this is one of the ways that God has created the human organism.

So the core point, again, is that, given all these 3rd house phenomena (sign on, location of ruler,
where Gemini, etc.), this is correlating with the type of mental structure that your Soul intends to
have in this life for its evolutionary purposes. If you have Aries on your 3rd, are you going to
identify with a conformity thinker, or an independent thinker with an instinctual desire to
challenge authority, i.e. the natural inconjunct back to the 10th?

Do you understand the point here? Are you going to be an argumentative-prone individual as a
result, a person who has an instinct to assert, Aries, his own opinion? But from an evolutionary
point of view, necessarily so. What that will presume is a tendency from lives prior to this in
which the person did not have this. And, as a result, in evolutionary terms is now needing to
create its own independent, intellectual way of looking at life. You now embrace the elimination
of judgment - who is right, who is wrong, who is better, who is ... bullshit! From an evolutionary
point of view, it is just what is, which suspends stupid judgments. And all these 19th century
astrology books - exaltations and falls and detriments - just throw it out the window, because in
the end it comes down to what is, from a point of view of evolution. That what is necessary,
called evolutionary necessity.

If you have got Mercury retrograde, because it is now connecting to this intellectual organization
of phenomenal reality. Retrogradation is a really interesting process in evolutionary terms. First
of all, now specific to Mercury, what you typically have in evolutionary terms when you see

20
Mercury retrograde in a chart is an individual who, prior to this life, in all likelihood has been very,
very indiscriminate in the kinds of information that it has taken into itself. It has been incredibly
indiscriminate and too curious, meaning collecting information from too many sources, and the
function of Mercury retrograde now is what? In evolutionary terms, to intellectually simplify. To
only orientate to knowledge systems or information that are pertinent to its personal purposes.
As an example, Mercury/Gemini correlate with what is called short-term memory, whereas
Uranus, the higher octave, is long-term memory.

It is not uncommon to a retrograde Mercury individual, especially when a child, in public-school

situations to not learn as quickly or as well as a child who has Mercury not retrograde. Why? In
evolutionary terms, they have a structure within their consciousness that instinctually tunes out
information that is not pertinent to their personal purpose and thus, no memory. Conversely, in
that very same individual, if they are exposed to something that is pertinent to their purpose at
the time they want to learn it, it creates almost a photographic-like memory. When you have
Mercury retrograde, you are looking at a consciousness that is trying to point towards the right
brain instead of the left brain. They are trying to place an emphasis on non-linear thinking, a
Soul that is now trying to develop the intuitive faculty of itself.

In general, when you have a retrograde symbol, in evolutionary terms, think in terms of the
following words: they need to repeat in order to resolve. Typically, when a planet is retrograde,
that means that something has not been finished or resolved, coming from prior life into this life.
And thus the Soul is repeating experience in this life relative to past life dynamics, in order to
resolve them through repetition. In the case of Venus retrograde, take these basic thoughts and
it means what? Repeating key relationships with people, where something was not finished or
resolved relative to the dynamics that exist between them.

Q: If you have another planet retrograde that is making an aspect to Mercury, is that going to
have an impact on the Mercury function?
A: The answer is yes. This is called an oblique retrograde.

Q: - ? A: With Venus retrograde you have a situation where that person, on a value system level
(every society has value systems,) is going to reject or rebel against the prevailing value system
of the society it is born into, and through such a necessary rejection or rebellion is individuating
itself. The retrograde function accelerates the archetype of individuation in the Jungian sense.
So you can now have a person that is not able to relate to most of the people around it in the
existing society it is born into. They cannot accept how people are conditioned to be in
relationships. The retrograde function is an internalizing function. Venus retrograde is a person
who is developing an active relationship to them self, in a sense, standing as a group of one if
necessary. If you put a Venus retrograde in a fourteen-year old boy in a culture like this that is

21
promoting how that fourteen year old is supposed to be in a relationship, i.e. early sexual
experimentation, etc., do you think that Venus retrograde boy is going to be related to that peer
group value or not? If that boy cannot relate to his immediate peer group that is doing all this
kind of stuff, what is going to be the social judgment within the peer group, given the fact that
group at that level expects conformity? Weird, different!
Q: - ? A: Even if a planet is not retrograde, there are other signatures that correlate with
repeating the past. For example, a planet that is squaring the nodal axis, or a planet on the
South Node, or retrograde through progression, even retrograde through transit. It is not
uncommon when Venus goes retrograde in transit (it is the planet that retrogrades the least) that
we get communication from somebody out of our past that we had lost sight of. Or suddenly we
re-experience an old emotional dynamic in our existing relationship that we had thought we had
left behind. These are examples of repeating.

If you can embrace the archetypes on this level, believe me, you are going to be a master in
astrology. And if you isolate symbols (Mercury in Scorpio versus Mercury in Virgo), there are two
different ways of thinking. The very nature of their thought is fundamentally different. How they
communicate is fundamentally different. How they learn is fundamentally different. Learning as
a function is Mercury/Gemini/3rd, relative to Jupiter/ Sag/9th. Why is it linked here? Because
Jupiter/Sag/9th correlate to the archetype of assimilation. We can read a book, but do we
necessarily assimilate? This is the problem with Gemini. Gemini goes into a book store: "Oh
man, look at all these titles!". Just buys the books and never reads them, or maybe two or three
pages. And the question becomes: has it been assimilated or integrated or applied?

This is one of the problems in modern education. People are just thrown at volumes of material
that may or may not even be relevant, and the question becomes, what is the capacity of the
student to assimilate all this stuff? A typical problem kids have in high school is learning things
like algebra and geometry. They are just asked to learn a formula, Gemini-like, without being
taught the intuitive or conceptual basis of it. What is it measuring? If this is done to a Mercury
retrograde person, you should give him the conceptual basis, what they will actually be trying to
measure. Then they will get it.

Q: - ? A: Let us say these two people here have an existing problem. And the Mercury in
Scorpio, on an internal thinking basis, is trying to find the bottom line and will immediately go to
the bottom line, bypassing all kinds of possible thought processes. Whereas the Mercury in Virgo
is going to do the opposite. It is using a step by step analytical approach to how the problem got
there in the first place. And when they communicate it, "Tell me, boy, what the problem is". The
Mercury in Scorpio is going to have one sentence. The Mercury in Virgo is going to have 35

22
sentences.

Q: Jupiter in Gemini? A: The first thing we have to do is to understand, because we are living in a
time-space universe. This is called sequential order. So what is the first layer we want to
analyze? The sign itself, and then the planet that is in the sign. So what do you have here with
Jupiter in Gemini? You have got a person who has a very accelerated intuitive function, but it is
operating through the left brain. So you are going to have an intuitive knowing of something.
That is how they think about what they have just intuited. It is Gemini-like, and then as they try
to communicate, they are trying to explain that point in ten, twelve different ways.

Q: Jupiter in Gemini in the 8th house? A: What you now have done is condition that Jupiter in
Gemini. Instead of explaining that intuitive knowing say in twelve ways, they may now reduce it
to one or two ways, just by the fact that it is in the 8th.

Q: - ? A: If you take the phenomena of assimilation, Jupiter, on an anatomic basis this correlates
with the thyroid gland, and critical to assimilation is the physiology of iodine. So as an example,
if you find Jupiter retrograde in the natal chart, typically these people will have a deficiency of
iodine, meaning the thyroid is not operating correctly, meaning they are not assimilating correctly
and they either become too thin or too fat. Now knowing that, they need an iodine supplement,
and it is going to have a consequence to their mental assimilation beyond the physiological.

Q: Jupiter retrograde in Gemini? A: The question becomes what? The person must simply listen
to himself, pay attention to his own inner knowledge. Why? For lifetimes they have spent
collecting all kinds of information from all kinds of sources. The knowledge they are looking for is
already in place. They do not need another book. They do not need another class. They just have
to validate what they already know.

Q: - ? A: They simply need to have an educational program that is tailor made for them. The
simplest thing to say, teach them what they are interested in at the time they are interested. And
also, when Mercury is retrograde, and also often when you find Uranus in the third, or Uranus in
Virgo, sometimes it will also correlate on a physiological basis to a breakdown, or something has
gone wrong with the synapsal structure within the brain. The synapses are not sparking or
operating correctly, and again, in evolutionary terms there are reasons for this, but there are
certain supplements you can put in to re-establish the synapsal structure to make it spark more
correctly.

Q: - ? A: The point here is that it can happen sometimes. It is not an absolute. There are other

23
factors you have to be looking at. So when I say things like that, do not think that it does apply
in every case.

(1-2.01.18) Now we are moving into Cancer. That is just the natural way God made the
universe. Cancer is now correlating with the archetype of energy returning to the center. It is
yin, it is cardinal and, of course, water. So the first point to embrace. Cancer is an archetype
that specifically correlates with the phenomena we call the ego in consciousness, subjective
consciousness. Now let us understand that the Soul, in each life, creates a subjective
consciousness that is integrated through what is called an ego. The ego is an integrating function
within a subjective consciousness.

It is there necessarily. It is an archetype. It cannot be removed. You cannot get rid of your ego.
Ego is necessary. Subjective consciousness itself is analogous to a movie projector with a screen
but without a lens. There is no image, just diffused light. The ego is necessary to subjective
consciousness. It allows for each of us to create a distinct self-image. If you did not have an
ego, you could not even speak your own name. Christ had an ego. Buddha had an ego. Lao-Tse
had an ego. If they did not, they could not say their name. It would just be diffused inner
images. They would not have specific form. The ego is necessary, and if we go back to our
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio thing, what it means in spiritual evolutionary terms is not getting rid of
the ego, but re-identifying the ego.

Most people on earth identify with themselves as a separate entity following Aries, the original
separation. And the evolution of the ego means what? To redefine it to what? That which
creates creation in the first place. This is a very important point to grasp, because most people
are in fact defined through their singularness or their ego. And all you have to do is look at the
nature of history. Take one small country, Rwanda. You have a tiny group of people, each one
having a stupid ego inside, that now create a message within them self (Mercury), that somehow
they have a vision (Jupiter) of how Rwanda should be ruled and structured, and then convince
themselves through their ego that they are right. And then, because of this, create mass
destruction of hundreds of thousands of other people who also have egos, but are now being
impacted upon through the imposition of these egos. That is no different than Hitler, who had an
ego, becoming the causal factor in the destruction of millions of Jews and Gypsies because of
what his ego created. Do you see my point?

And the impact of an ego on reality, what is defined as a separate entity versus seeing the
interrelatedness of all of creation, Pisces. Do you understand my point here? Keeping in mind you
have Cancer square Libra and square Aries. Please remember Libra is an inherent extreme. So

24
what we are looking at is the archetypal structure of what? The extremity of the ego of
identifying with just itself as an Aries, separate being, that then through Mars and the
inconjunction to the 8th thinks it can dominate or impose its own egocentric will on other people.
In essence this is the tragedy of the human story.

Now, archetypally the ego is necessary. You see, if you look at it from an allopathic point of view,
where the ego actually is placed within consciousness emanates from the brain stem. The brain
stem is here [points to back of neck], relative to the medulla, relative to the hypothalamus. This
is one of the areas that the surgeon cannot operate, because of the nexus of nerves that connect
here. Now this should tell you that the ego can not be removed. We are talking about the nature
of energy at this level. The ego is simply a vortex of energy within consciousness, relative to the
brain and the brain stem.

So ego is inherently consciousness at a subjective level. But most of us do not realize that the
Soul itself has an ego. For example, how many are familiar with the Seth material, Jane Roberts?
There is a discarnate [not in a body] entity called Seth, speaking through the egocentric structure
called Jane Roberts. Now for Seth to speak and call itself “Seth”, as a discarnate entity, i.e. the
Soul level, it has to have a name, called "Seth". Name means ego, something that is separate
and distinct from every other Soul. So the Soul, as it has an ego, creates an ego at a subjective
level we call personality.

Look at the solar system. Pluto as a planet is called a binary planetary system. It has not
actually a moon, but another planet that is half the size of Pluto itself, that is always spinning
around Pluto. Now you can see the symbolism of the Soul (Pluto) and the ego, that creates, at a
subjective level, a personality in this symbolism that is forever evolving.

So the principle, or archetype, of the ego, at a personality or subjective level, is contained

through Cancer/4th/Moon. It is yin, it is water. The energy is moving back towards the center.
Why? Following Aries and Taurus and Gemini, this is what now gives personal form, name and
identity to myself. These are my values. This is how I think. This is who I am. This now all
arrives in Cancer. So now this is a real critical point. Because for those who are into therapy or
counseling psychology or whatever, most of us are aware that there are strong egos and weak
egos.

As an example, would we say that a person who is living out the pathology of masochism is
having a strong ego? No, they have not. T hey have a very weak and inferior ego, the pathology
of masochism. It is a negative self-feeling, a negative self-image, defined by one thought.

25
“There is something wrong with me.” An egocentric structure defined by guilt and the need to
atone for it. That is not a strong ego. That is an ego that through the archetype of repetitive
compulsion is learning through crisis, based on a negative self-feeling or conception or idea. Now
you take Moon in Aries, an egocentric structure on personality level. Is that a weak ego?

So the point I am making. If you are doing psychological or evolutionary astrology, when you
look at any chart you have to be able to determine the relative strength of the ego, particular in
cultures like this. If you have a Moon in Pisces in a male in this culture, what kind of egocentric
structure does that individual have in a culture like this? Does the male relate to Marlboro Man?
And if that person cannot relate to Marlboro Man, the prevailing cultural archetype of man, then
how is it going to relate to itself as a person?

Q: Moon in Aries in 12th? A: This correlates with the Messiah complex, Aries/Pisces. Suddenly
you have the Jim Joneses of this world, the clown Rajneesh's of this world. But it depends! That
is why these stupid cook books mean nothing. Not only do they promote disservice to people
studying astrology, but also to astrology as a profession, because it becomes the basis of what
people can use to criticize astrology. It is the stupidity of "one size fits all" . Each human being
on earth is a distinct individual that has its own individual background, that is unique to himself.
So how can a cook book...!

Let us reiterate one key point. The egocentric structure within subjective consciousness is
absolutely necessary. And the ego implies what? It implies self-image, the image we have within
our self, how we see our self inwardly. This is a very critical point to grasp. Why? How you see
yourself inwardly does not necessarily correlate to how other people are seeing you. We have the
constructed persona on the Descendant, we have the instinctual projection of self through the
Ascendant, we have the self-image now here in the 4th. How many people in this room
throughout their life feel that most people that you are interacting with, socially or in any other
situation, see you exactly as you see yourself? Therein lies the natural T-square between 4th, 7th
and 1st. If you have a Pisces Moon and a Scorpio Ascendant, the Pisces Moon is not going to see
himself as other people see him through the projection of self through the Scorpio Ascendant.
Again, that is going to create all kinds of environmental feedback, "You are intense", and yet the
Pisces Moon person, within himself, does not have that self-image. They see themselves as timid,
shy, nebulous, no boundaries, etc.

And watching that Scorpio Rising with Taurus Descendant walking in a room, you would not have
a clue. It is a very important issue, because the ego and the self-image it creates, the lens in the
projector (following Aries, Taurus and Gemini), now specifically correlate to the conscious

26
awareness of subjective self. This is who I am. This is what I think. This is what I value, etc.
The conscious awareness of self, the little us. So when you are now looking at the birth chart,
you see a sign on that 4th, a planetary ruler of that sign located somewhere, aspects, the sign
Cancer somewhere, the Moon in its sign with aspects. This in combination is equaling the
egocentric structure of personality and the self-image that is contained therein, and the kind of
inner consciousness of self that one has.

A simple example. Moon in Virgo. What kind of egocentric structure, self-image, consciousness
of subjective self does specifically correlate to the Moon in Virgo? Can we not loosely define a
situation where we have an egocentric structure that is quite self-critical? They focus a subjective
self that is quite self-critical and, as a result, inherently self-negative. Is it not going to be an
egocentric structure that is intimately aware, consciously aware, of all of its shortcomings,
inadequacies, lacks and faults and imperfections? That is the lens within its subjective
consciousness. If it has this sort of self-image, what do you expect it is going to attract in terms
of environmental feedback? And the next question becomes, is this person intrinsically going to
have the capacity to see the conscious linkage between how it is consciously aware of the inner
self, the sense of self, the egocentric structure, and the criticism that it attracts to itself? In most
cases there is a breakdown there, and the typical complaint of the Virgo Moon, “how come
everybody is criticizing me?”

This is a very critical issue. And as we start into chart analysis you will see how dramatic this is.
It is critical because at this level the Moon is also going to correlate with the nature of our initial
early environment/parental environment. Please note that no child as a child has any inherent
defense and they osmose/imprint the nature of their early environment, that is the reality of their
parents, wholesale. There is no filtering. And this correlates to what is called the imprint of the
early environment and how that imprinting in its own way thoroughly shapes and defines the
nature and sense of self, the egocentric structure of self based on that environmental imprint, to a
much larger extent than any of us truly really realize.

That is why, in our time, with Neptune/Uranus moving through Capricorn, ever since it moved
into Capricorn, keeping in mind everything functions through polarity, the buzz word in therapy
became “the search for the inner wounded child”. That is exactly why. Exactly that is the
polarity. And what that really means. One of the interesting ways the cardinal archetype
functions, i.e. Capricorn/Cancer in this case. Cardinal is, in fact, the archetype of that what
initiates change. But the initiation of change creates its own insecurity. Security is a function of
that what has been, i.e. security equals the need to be self-consistent. Self-consistency is a
function of the past, which brings us to each moment. So even though the cardinal archetype

27
wants to initiate change, change implicating the future, that automatically threatens what has
gone before, the past - insecurity! The seed of insecurity is contained in the cardinal archetype.
So the cardinal archetype typically functions by moving two steps forward and one step back, and
that effect is gained. So in an evolutionary sense, what this means is now relative to the search
of the wounded child. What you are really looking at is the need to go backwards in order to go
forward. So the sign on your 4th, the planetary ruler, etc., correlate to the nature of that early
environment and the imprinting impact it had on your egocentric formation of self.

Of course, the deeper question is, why did the Soul pick that particular kind of environment? For
its own evolutionary necessity and/or karmic requirements. For example, in my own case I have
Moon in Pisces in the 4th, receiving a square from Mars in the 2nd and from Uranus in the 8th. And
one of the things my mom did when I was four, she tried to murder me. Now what is the impact
on the egocentric formation of self for a four-year old boy that is being tried to be scalded to
death by a mother? Look at the symbolism, Pisces Moon, Mars in Sag, Uranus in 8th. She tried
to scald me to death with hot water.

Now, what is the impact? No child has any natural defense. And typically what happens in
children who are not being nurtured in the ways that they need, because all children naturally
expect their needs to be nurtured in the ways that they need. That is what children expect and
when they do not get it they cry. All parents know this reality. Raising eight kids I know it
intimately. So we all take this in, we take it in wholesale. There is no natural defense. The child
is not able to resolve that input. That, in fact as a child, becomes the basis of what psychologists
call displaced emotions. Emotions of childhood are not resolved. They get stuck into the
subconscious. And they resurface as an adult, and then become the causal factors in recreating
the early environmental conditions of childhood in order to resolve them, through the act of
repetition.

So the Moon also connects to emotional reality, the nature of our emotional body or our emotional
dynamics. Emotions are different from feelings. When in your not so happy cookbooks you read
Cancer or the Moon, somehow they lump emotions and feelings together. So the bottom line, the
Moon correlates with emotions. Feelings themselves are Venus. Feelings are the immediate
reactions to an existing stimulus, and emotions react to the feelings. Here again you see the
natural square between 7th/Libra and 4th. One's feelings are not always in harmony with one's
emotions. Example, person X has Venus in Libra and Moon in Scorpio, and his partner comes
home one day and announces “I have just been attracted to somebody else.” Well, the Venus in
Libra's immediate feeling reaction, given it is in Libra (i.e. to maintain harmony in relationships),
is "Fine." And then the Moon reacts. Scorpio emotions. It is suddenly not going to be so fine.

28
Now all of a sudden the rage of childhood surfaces, linked now to what? To abandonment issues,
or betrayal issues, violations of trust issues. So this is an example of how feelings and emotions
are not necessarily in harmony.

The nature of the Moon - house, sign, aspects, sign on 4th, location of the planetary ruler, aspects
it is making - all correlate with the nature of your emotional dynamics. As we get into the 8th
and 12th, this will contribute to the nature of your emotional dynamics. The point here is that
there is a whole package to describe the nature of your emotional dynamics, the emotional reality
you live in. It describes simply and totally your emotional body. And again, in evolutionary
terms, there is a reason to have that type of emotional structure, reality, or body.

Q: - ? A: Again, really focus on the archetype of self-image. If you have Cancer on your 9th,
what is going to be contributing to your sense of self-image? What if the person is in a consensus
state - religion, consensus religion. That is exactly why the archetype that we all call security
exists. I mean, examine this deeply. What constitutes security? The ultimate teaching of Cancer
as an archetype is to ultimately realize, through Pisces, that the security that we are all seeking is
not external to our self. And yet, based on the nature of cultural conditioning throughout time,
unless it is in very specialized cultures, everybody somehow feels or thinks that their security lies
outside themselves. This is typically what we call home, or the house that we live in and the
family that lives within it and the possessions that reside within the home. Which is exactly why,
through Scorpio, when we are overly identified with an external something that connects to
bottom line security, and at certain points in our evolution we have become so overly identified
with that something, the famous rug has to be removed from the famous feet, to ultimately
enforce this lesson that security is within. (An excellent book that details this thing, written by the
philosopher Alan Watts, is called "The Wisdom of Insecurity"). So the point here is that Cancer,
through Scorpio and Pisces, will forever create emotional shocks and cataclysms associated with
loss or removal, over a great length of evolutionary time, in order to ultimately enforce the lesson
of realization that the security that we are seeking is from within. So this is very important to
grasp.

You can determine, for example, by the nature of the sign on the 4th and the sign that the Moon
is in, what is that person's capacity to embrace change. If the Moon is in a mutable sign and
there is a mutable sign on the 4th cusp, the answer is total. If you have Moon in a fixed sign and
a fixed sign on your 4th cusp, the answer is minimal, if at all. That kind of person has to get used
to the change before they make it. Then they feel ready. So the Moon has a specific connection
to the archetype or phenomena we call security, and what is constituting security. If you have
Cancer on the 9th, for example, the security is found through the nature of your philosophical or

29
belief system thoughts.

Q: - ? A: You would not be thinking of something superseding something. You are going to be
thinking in terms of how they work together. And the question becomes, what type of change. If
the change is minimal, not too big, fine. If the change is too big, then you have the resistance of
the fixed signs.

You can describe, through playing astrological detective, the nature and quality of the person's
early environmental conditions. And when you put your evolutionary glasses on, then you
determine why this has been necessary. If you look at it from this point of view and you are
talking to yourself and your client in these terms, you eliminate the word “victim” from your
vocabulary. And in a culture like this it is a very important word to eliminate. It is really easy to
be a victim. We take no responsibility in a victimized consciousness. The ultimate teaching of
Capricorn, which is the polarity of Cancer, is what? Learning to accept the responsibility in our
own actions.

So even though my mother tried to scald me to death, I cannot blame her, can I? What is in my
Soul program that necessitated this thing? This is a very tricky ground when you work with
clients, because many clients are invested in being victims, especially the masochistic pathology.
And you would be amazed how many masochists are running around here. It is the greatest
secrets in our culture. Example, the Oprah Winfrey type shows. They are promoting
victimization. How many panels of people that she had have been sexually abused? Have you
ever heard the language coming from her mouth “What in you necessitated this experience?” You
will not hear these words.

All of us still have a child within us. I do not care how old you are. You can be 102 and still have
a kid inside of you. So the real issue here, is that inner child an adult, or is it still a child? That is
the difference. Because it is linked with the childhood dynamic. It correlates with every human
being's desires and needs to be nurtured. It is a natural human need. In our relationships there
is our need to be held. You can find this all over this planet, whether you deal with a man or a
woman. If you talk to them seriously on a bottom line basis, you are going to find out in 90% of
the cases, that for most people to be touched and held in a sincere way is more important than
sex. Why? Because it creates emotional renewal, the sense of being embraced and known by
another. And that is why one of the greatest delusions in modern society is to somehow separate
sex from emotion. It is not possible to separate one from the other. Sex is an emotional act, not
just a physical act. So the Cancer archetype is a very critical archetype. It does have basic
correlations, i.e. the kind of environment we create for ourselves to live in and/or our home. Most

30
people, when you go into their home, you see that they create it as a function of their inner
space, a projection of what is going on within them. So this correlates with our need to be
nurtured, and it also correlates with our capacity to nurture other people.

All of us, male or female, have an inner mother within us. Why? All souls are simultaneously
male and female. In psychological terms it is called empathy. If you have Moon conjunct Saturn
in Capricorn in 6th, what do you think is that person's emotional capacity to empathize, to
nurture another in a moment of crisis? They are emotionally frozen within themselves. It is a
form of emotional paralysis. They are emotionally constipated. The question becomes “Why?”
What is the evolutionary need here? How do you get out of it? Is there a way out? And from the
point of view of the Soul, why has the Soul created this kind of egocentric structure?

(2-0.42.00) LEO and the 5th house. Fire, fixed, yang. Energy moving out from the center.
Fundamental archetype - creative actualization of self. The 4th created the self-image, how you
know yourself within yourself on a subjective personality level, following Gemini, Taurus and
Aries. When we hit the 5th, it is now time to creatively actualize it. The principle of creative self-
actualization. The ruler Sun correlates to the integration principle in life. If we simply look at our
solar system, if there is no Sun, there is no solar system. It is integrating the solar system. So in
the very same way, the Sun in astrology shows how we are integrating and giving purpose to the
nature of our life and how we creatively actualize that purpose in life. Example, all of us go
through crises in life. That is the function of Virgo. Virgo is in everybody's chart somewhere. But
how I am integrating the crisis, how I am giving the sense of purpose to the crisis, that will shift
from sign to sign. If my Sun is in Sag, I will give it a philosophical purpose. If it is in Scorpio I
will give it a psychological purpose. And by creating a purpose through the sign, that is how it
becomes integrated. Here I will integrate crises philosophically/psychologically.

The function of Leo, archetypally and necessarily, is a very narcissistic psychological orientation.
Necessarily. One has to become full of one's self, so to speak, first, before one can share or
disseminate oneself. Negatively speaking, in psychological terms it correlates with delusions of
grandeur. See, one of the great secrets of understanding how to actualize and integrate the Sun,
one's sense of purpose and meaning, is to embrace the polarity of Aquarius, keeping in mind that
Leo in and of itself is the center of its own universe. But in order to have a meaningful application
or actualization, it must embrace Aquarius. What does the overall social system need from me?
Not just arriving into the social system and going, "Hey, here I am, integrate me!".

In other words, Aquarius correlates with the objective awareness of consciousness versus
subjectivity. Aquarius is objectivity. So the principle of creativity itself is contained within Leo.

31
So, from the point of view of evolution, i.e. the fundamental evolutionary intention for the life and
how it is actualized, the transition between past and future (which we all are always in, relative to
the moment), how we are giving a sense of purpose and meaning to the current life, relative to
the evolutionary intention, is seen through the Sun. The house and sign it is in, the aspects it is
making, and where we find the sign Leo in the birth chart.

If you embrace the Aquarian polarity, then you will be received and integrated by the social
system. If not, the social system will isolate you in some fashion, and that will create a
tremendous degree of Leonian frustration. So it can in this sense be called the starving artist
syndrome. The starving artist is full of himself. He may have all kinds of creativity at his
disposal, like Vincent Van Gogh, and yet may be essentially isolated by the social system.

Because you deal with the issue of creativity, relative to the natural square to 2nd and 8th, this
correlates to what you read in your cookbooks about the connection to children. Why? There is a
natural T-square here, focused on the 5th to 2nd and to 8th, keeping in mind that the 2nd is the
procreational instinct, which is completed through the sexual union in the 8th, the results of
which can be children, 5th. The problem here is that many parents are Leonian-type parents.
They expect their children to be vicarious extensions of their own reality. And in the very same
way, embracing the Aquarian polarity in the 5th ultimately would suggest that all parents must
learn to objectify the individual reality of each child and then to facilitate that individual
development, versus expecting a child to be vicarious extension of their own Sun-like reality.
Most parents fail to remember. How many have the thought that the best way to be parents is to
become friends of their children? Not being always in the parent's role of Mom and Pap, who are
not able to share their own Cancerian vulnerability as their own individual self. Somewhere they
will always have to hide behind the Capricorn polarity, I am the parent.

Another intrinsic problem of the Leonian archetype is, because of the connection with 8th and 2nd,
a de facto compulsion to be told how wonderful you are. A bottomless pit, really, the need to be
told how wonderful you are, to be given consistently positive feedback, which is, following Cancer,
the need to be reassured through positive feedback all the time. And from a Leo point of view it
is a bottomless pit.

For example, if you have got a person who has a 5th house Pluto, child or adult, and this
particular inner orientation, they will never feel they get enough positive feedback. It is literally
an inner abyss. Which is one of the reasons why again, in your cookbooks, you read the alliance
that somehow 5th correlates with love affairs. How come? If I am in a relationship in which I am
not receiving the necessary level of feedback that I think I need, I am going to find someone who

32
will do that for me. When you connect this to 2nd and 8th, you can now see the extramarital
affair or perpetual love affairs.

Q: Is the Leo Moon more of a bottomless pit than the Leo Sun?
A: Yes, because it is specific to emotional reality. This is a good point. Let us say we take that
Leo Moon and put it in the 10th. That is going to correlate in many cases to a person who does
not know how to ask for that kind of emotional feedback. Why? Because it is in the 10th, and yet
they need it just as much as any other Leo Moon. So if you are now an astrological parent and
you get a kid that has a 10th Leo Moon, do you see what that parent is going to do? That is
exactly why I feel that astrology should be part of the public school curriculum. Astrology should
be taught! Because it gives us a vehicle of objective awareness of the individual realities and
needs of each person.

Q:-? A: The Leonian need is primarily through words, whereas the Cancerian need is primarily
through touch and holding.

Q:-? A: There is nothing subconscious about the Moon, despite what you read in books. Just look
into our solar system. What is the most immediate body to Earth? Is it not the Moon? And is not
every other planet in our solar system being filtered through the Moon?

For an example, one of the things that we need to understand about the Moon is the equation of
Anima/Animus. Every Soul is simultaneously male and female. And yet we are all born in a
specific body type. And when you come into a society, that is called gender assignment. Women
have gender assignment roles, men have gender assignment roles, and yet each Soul is male and
female. A perfect time that illustrates this point is the 1930's, where all the people had Pluto in
Cancer, male and female. And at the same time, Uranus was in Aries and squared that Pluto in
Cancer. And in that time frame, the gender assignment was how a man was expected to operate,
how a woman was expected to operate. Because of the Uranian square to this Pluto in Cancer,
that was the generation that became so inwardly emotionally frustrated, based on the limitation
of gender assignment and the emotional reality that this gender assignment dictated. That
generation primarily inwardly rebelled against it, not externally. But that internal rebellion, based
on an emotional frustration based on the limitations of the gender assignment, set up the Pluto in
Leo generation. Meaning the whole generation, especially when Uranus transited Cancer, began
to rebel against the limitation of gender assignment. At the same time, Neptune was transiting
Libra, which started the dissolution of the limitation of role-specific gender assignment in
relationships.

33
Going back to the point where the subconscious and conscious... every Soul is male and female,
so the Anima/Animus, which reflects that point at a subjective level. When you make it specific to
the generation who has Pluto in Cancer, and Uranus in Aries making a square to it, those people
are inwardly and consciously aware of their frustration based on the limitation of gender
assignment. And if they were not, then that would not have led them to the rebellion later on, to
the Pluto in Leo crowd. They may not have been verbalizing it. They will have silently suffered
within. And the function of the whole - millions of people have Pluto in any given sign. The
reason, it takes more than one person to accomplish the evolutionary requirements of the planet.
So Cancer and Capricorn specifically correlate with gender assignment. So here you have a whole
generation born all over the earth that have Pluto in Cancer. Millions of souls who became the
original seed to metamorphosize the limitation of this gender assignment. So the Moon is
completely conscious.

Q: Leo Ascendant? A: Because again the Ascendant is instinctual, it is not conscious

forethought. And keeping in mind, again, that Mars is a lower archetype of Pluto, what you are
now correlating to are the types of desires that the Soul is manifesting through the Ascendant,
that correlate with its evolutionary progression. So the Leo Ascendant has an instinctual desire
nature that correlates with what? Being in total and complete charge of its destiny at all times in
order to creatively actualize its overall purposes in life. It is operating instinctually. The Leo
Ascendant will not have a conscious sense of being special. The Leo Moon will have a sense of
being special at an egocentric level.

(2-1.02.00) VIRGO. This is a very important archetype, because it is a transitional archetype.

From Aries to Leo we have been focusing on, and necessarily, a subjective development.
Subjective, and, from that point of view, a deep and permeating self-orientation. As we move
from Libra to Pisces, we are relating to the social system, we are operating within. Other people,
society, other people's needs, other people's realities, other people's values, other people's
beliefs, etc. And Virgo becomes a transitional archetype. Why? From Aries to Leo, you have a
natural archetype of superiority. I am self-inflated. I am self-centered. With the archetype of
Libra you have the requirement to be in a state of equality with all those around you. In order to
arrive at equality, relative to superiority, we have to have Virgo, which is going to create an
archetype called inferiority. When you combine inferior with superior, the end effect becomes
equality. You have two extremes. So on an image basis, think of it this way. From Aries to Leo
you can make a pyramid and the person is on top of this pyramid. At the time you hit the
archetype of Virgo, the pyramid is on top of the individual. So the real intention of Virgo is what?
What is the core archetype here? Learning to be of benefit or help or service to a larger whole
than just yourself.

34
You have to remember that Virgo is inherently connected to the triad of Capricorn and Taurus.
And what we are looking at, in the last analysis, is that in every social system, be it aboriginal, be
it "sophisticated" modern America, every person within any kind of social system will have a
function to act out on behalf of that social system. That is expected by that social system. No
social system will allow any member within that system to live just for itself. It is naturally
expected to contribute to the needs of that system, whatever those needs may be. In many
societies or systems throughout time, those particular social functions or ways of benefiting the
whole were in fact socially prescribed at birth. The types of parents you are born into, the social
status they have, etc. You had no choice. The grossest example is the caste system in India. But
then you have other kinds of systems that do allow the citizen to have a choice. Following Leo, it
is called the child prodigy syndrome. You are expected to follow in your father's footsteps. My
father makes shoes and I am expected to make shoes.

So the intention in Virgo is to humiliate the consciousness. Why, how? By making it aware that it
must live for something other than just itself. This then creates the initial awareness of other in
the 6th. Through the Pisces polarity, that other ultimately is God. At a very mundane level the
other can be anybody. Relative to work assignment, it becomes your employer or your employee.
From a spiritual point of view, it is the relationship between the disciple and the guru. At the
work level, it is the relationship between a boss and an employee, the relationship between co-
workers. The awareness of other.

In order to induce this consciousness or awareness within consciousness, the Virgo archetype
makes us aware of so much that is around us. Other people, social systems. And as we begin to
have this kind of awareness, this enforces a self-introspective consciousness. We are now looking
at ourselves. And once we begin to look at ourselves via the awareness of everyone around us,
this is exactly the dynamic that creates the awareness of lack or imperfection, inadequacy, of
what we need to do to improve ourselves.

Virgo correlates to the archetype of self-improvement. Why? Everything operates through

polarity. The polarity to Virgo is Pisces. Pisces on the bottom line level correlates with ultimate
ideals. So through polarity, Virgo is aware of what? Of an ultimate something that it has not yet
evolved to. And that creates the awareness of lack, imperfection; what I need to work on to get
there, so to speak. And because it is naturally Mercury ruled, this level of consciousness, or
awareness within the consciousness, is operating on a mental or thought form level. It is a left
brain level. It is constituting part of the inner thinking or thought process within all of us. All of
us have within us critical self-analysis.

35
You can determine by the sign on the 6th, the nature of Mercury, where the planetary ruler of the
6th is, where Virgo is located, what kind of critical self-analysis is happening here. How much it is
emphasized. What impact it has on the consciousness. As an example, is it a level where it
becomes inhibiting to growth and/or leading to non-action? Or is it maybe more gentle? The
effect of all this is to induce a sense of inferiority. And inferiority, going back to Cancer, is going
to humiliate the ego. The awareness of what it is not, relative to the awareness of what it wants
to be.

Now, the deeper connection becomes this. Let us understand that right now we are in the last
stages of the Virgo sub-age, relative to the Pisces age. The Virgo sub-age started around 1200 A.
D. So, linking this with Western religion as a conditioning factor into consciousness, keeping in
mind that the phenomenon of consciousness itself is Pisces, or Neptune. Just the phenomenon
of. And let us agree that we can correlate consciousness on a symbolic level to water. Water in
itself has no shape or form. And yet if I put water in a glass, it is now assuming the shape or
form of the glass. And therefore, the consciousness is now defined by the nature of the form that
it is in. So now we have consciousness through Pisces coming to Virgo. Relative to religion for
the last two thousand years in the West, let us now understand that at a collective unconscious
level (that we all participate in, like it or not), we have all in our own ways, relative to past life
times, been subjected to a primary religious conditioning called the Garden of Eden myth, which
is really a myth that promotes a sadomasochistic psychology. Man is superior to woman. Woman
embodies the temptation of flesh, sexuality and sensuality. Man in this myth embodies the purity
of the spiritual impulse. And here come woman, oh! And now man gives in. So suddenly
woman is made to feel guilty and inferior and man is made to feel angry.

Why? He gives in to the temptation. Within the myth you have the archetype of dominance and
submission. You have the implied conflict between spirit and flesh. Now the point I am making is
that this is the breeding ground of sadomasochistic emotional psychology.

Now, the ultimate masochist is Jesus Christ, let us face it. Why? Because he was aware of his
own betrayal prior to its happening and he allowed it to happen. This is called a masochistic act.

So the point here is that for the last two thousand years, on a collective unconscious level, we
have all been subjected in one way or another to the Garden of Eden myth, which has created a
collective imprinting relative to sadomasochistic psychology. And this is contained in the
archetypes of Virgo/Pisces. Virgo is connected to Capricorn and Taurus. Capricorn specifically
correlates with the phenomena we call guilt. Virgo correlates with the need for atonement

36
relative to purification, the ultimate ideal to be pure.

When you have atonement linked with guilt, you have the pathology of masochism. When you
have anger linked with guilt, you have the pathology of sadism. Because of the original myth
starting with male and female, the feminine archetype tends to embrace masochism and the male
archetype sadism. For women in this room the simplest way to know is proof. How many of you
have not in your sexual dealings with men had the experience wherein the man, when he wants
to sleep with you, after he slept with you is suddenly emotionally distant, suddenly somehow
strangely angered, or in certain cases abusive. This is an example of the myth. It goes back to
the man giving in to the original temptation, which makes him feel angry.

Q: - ? A: Because all souls are male and female, there are many souls currently in the male form
who preponderantly have had female past lifetimes. That is why some men also are masochistic,
because the structure of their Soul is predominantly feminine. They had a predominance of
lifetimes as feminine, meaning the Soul would predominantly manifest in one gender over the
other through evolutionary time. This is why also some women can be sadistic. But, on balance,
the woman embraces the masochism, the male the sadism. The simplest example of it? Man and
woman doing the same job, woman makes less.

Q: - ? A: That is the value association linked with masochism. You know, there are three tapes
operative in the pathology of masochism that operate subconsciously relative to the collective
unconscious. One tape says “I deserve pain, punishment, crisis, suffering, and denial, and I do
not know why.” Another tape says “for my needs to be met, somehow I must hurt first.” And
the third tape says “I am essentially worthless, while mentally knowing better.” The operative
dynamic becoming self-sacrifice. All masochists learn through crisis, which is why Virgo
correlates with crisis. If you examine the nature of crisis, it leads to analysis. That is why Virgo
compulsively analysis. Analysis linked with crisis at some point produces self-knowledge through
pain. So the Virgo archetype learns about the nature of its own reality through the creation and
formation of crisis. The form of masochism is perpetual self-undermining activity - not doing for
itself what it should do, when it should do it. And they are making what appears like rational
reasons, which are effectively excuses, that serve to justify why they are not doing what they
should do when they should do it. All masochists have the capacity to see spiritual potential
without grasping the actual reality of anything, particularly if it concerns people. This is why
masochists learn through the vehicle of disillusionment. Pisces polarity, disillusionment.
Disillusioning, or being disillusioned, is one of the hardest emotional experiences you can go
through.

37
You have to remember that astrology is the essence of correlation and observation. That is why it
is a natural science. And this is why all the definitions we can give now for Virgo or Cancer or
whatever are time-specific. 5000 years from now, Virgo can have an entirely different meaning.
Relative to the emanation of the Garden of Eden myth, relative to Western religions, relative to
man being superior to woman, relative to a patriarchal God sitting in space in anthropomorphic
form that is male, this becomes the background, long ago, that demonstrates and correlates why
we have the meanings of the signs as they evolved. As we get into the Aquarian age, a thousand
years from now, they will have entirely different meanings.

Q: - ? A: Taoism is patriarchal, and so are Islam, Vedantic tradition, Shinto tradition. The
Shamanic tradition as it is currently lived is also patriarchal.

Q: - ? A: The shift from the matriarchy to patriarchy occurred 6000 - 8000 years ago. You see,
in matriarchal tradition there is no implied conflict between spirit and flesh. They are integrated,
complementary. There is a wonderful book written by an anthropologist called "The Descent of
Woman". The postulation here is that (and they prove it in their own terminology), if there in fact
was an original human being on earth, it was female. And many years ago a scientist in Great
Britain wrote a book called "The Redundant Male". From an evolutionary point of view, the
postulation here is that woman evolved man from herself. The scientific proof of this is that every
embryo is originally female, and that for evolutionary survival needs, the female needed to evolve
the male form. Think about it this way.

As written in that book (The Redundant Male), after scientific research, the woman as she is
currently evolved still has the capacity to reproduce the species without male intercourse. This
gets to the heart of what the Christians call immaculate conception. There are in fact many cases
still on earth that are empirically provable in which women become pregnant without actual
intercourse. This does still occur, and there are other forms of life that also reflect this truth, as
the sea horse. There are certain forms of life even today that are simultaneously male and female
within themselves. There are even forms of life where the female is the causal factor in the
conception, and the male form of the species actually incubates the embryo and then serves as a
mother. There are many cultures in human history where the male was the nursing parent. They
used to be called brood males.

I am suggesting all this relative to the original point of gender assignment. And when you start
to connect this to belief systems, how people currently believe. Do you see my point? Just based
on consensus opinion, because the majority of people say so. So the point within this goes back
to Virgo/Pisces, relative to the Christian/Judean era, and this goes back to the story in the Bible

38
where somehow Jesus' mother Mary's conception was called an immaculate conception. From my
own inner memory from other past life times, this issue called the immaculate conception by way
of Mary in fact is true. The problem here is how that was then presented as Christian religion, i.e.
linked with sexuality.

Q: - ? A: See, once you made the postulation in the patriarchy that that there is in fact a conflict
between spirit and flesh, you created a disintegration within the total organism. And once you
made that disintegration and dichotomy, this became the basis of the current Virgo orientation of
experiencing what is called an inner existential void, a missing piece that is more than the
aloneness that we all feel, based on the original split in the myth. And once you create this inner
existential void, that becomes then the basis of the Piscean polarity of all forms of escapism,
workaholism, or food disorders. Example, take the phenomena of bulimia. This is actually a de
facto sexual act, where you have a person filling himself up with food to feel full to replace an
inner emptiness, and then expunging it through the act of vomiting, which is a de facto act of
orgasm. This is how twisted the psyche has become, and the guilt and atonement therein. For
Virgoians in this room, is it not true that deep inside yourself, unless you embrace the spiritual
reality, there is this great feeling of an inner existential void, a missing piece, which is more than
just basic aloneness?

So what happens typically in times like this is that Virgo compensates for the inner feeling of lack,
inner emptiness, by keeping himself excessively busy, resulting in a list of things to do problem.
There is always something on the list, and somehow the most important priorities to the Virgo
reality are always on the bottom. That is masochistic. The typical delusion that the Virgo
archetype creates for itself: “This person needs me and that person needs me, and I have got to
be over here to fulfill this obligation.” Their own need is always on the bottom. This is
masochistic, self-sacrificial. The habit of Virgo is to wait for yet another crisis, and when all the
Virgo skid mechanisms fail, then they turn their face to God in desperation. And once the crisis
passes, then they get lost to the famous list of things to do, again.

One of the core lessons in the Virgo archetype is called the lesson of discrimination or
discernment. Discrimination here is specifically linked to the polarity of Pisces. And this means to
be able to discriminate the difference between actual reality and anything else that is not reality,
as in illusions or delusions.

So at this point in the evolution of the human species the Virgo archetype is emphasizing these
dynamics. And, relative to the current time frame, the reason is to prepare us for the Libra
archetype, to turn to the world of the other as a social equal, not a social inferior, not a social

39
superior, but a social equal.

(2-1.35.00) LIBRA. This is an archetype that is, in evolutionary terms, for leading the
consciousness as it now begins to embrace the world of social other. It is the original archetype
shifting from pure subjective consciousness to objective consciousness, objective awareness. The
Libra archetype is cardinal, therefore initiatory. Its ruler is Venus. It is air and it is yang - energy
moving out from the center. In the Virgo archetype we had the energy inverting to the center -
introspective self-analysis, critical self-consciousness etc. - in order to learn egocentric humility.
And now Libra correlates to the impulse in the Soul to initiate all kinds of relationships with all
kinds of types. That is diversity. Libra is naturally connected to Gemini and Aquarius, and the
Libra archetype needs to initiate a diversity of relationships with a diversity of types. Why? To
learn about relativity. The relativity of values, of beliefs, of needs, of anything. The principle or
archetype of relativity correlates to Libra and the Libra side of Venus. This is to break up the
Leonian point of view of reality - it is my way or no way.

Through the initiation of relationships with a diversity of types, the individual Soul is now able to
evaluate through contrast and comparison the distinct individuality of itself. You have a natural
connection here to the polarity of Aries. You have a T-square coming back to Cancer/Capricorn.
This is now called the boundaries of egocentric consciousness relative to the distinct nature of its
own individuality, as compared to the boundaries/ego of everybody else. Because of its original
archetype of moving into the social arena, Libra is also the archetype that makes us aware of the
needs and realities of other people. And on this basis, the archetype of Libra correlates to our
need or lesson of learning how to give to other people. Prior to Libra we have been taking. We
began to learn this lesson through Virgo. But now through Libra we are truly embracing the
actual lesson of how to listen to other people's reality in general, and what they need as a
reflection of that reality, and thus to give to them exactly what they need according to their
needs, not to what I think they need (that would be Leo).

The lesson to learn within Libra is the lesson called balance. Libra inherently is the archetype of
extremes. The reason that Libra correlates to extremes is that again we live in the reality of
polarity. Night and day are opposites. Most people, as a result of the law of polarity, live their
lives on the basis of extremes, instead of balance. And the lesson for Libra is learning to live in a
state of balance, not extremity. But they can only learn this lesson through experience in
extremity.

Example. Let us say person X, female, has Venus in Virgo and Mars in Libra. On an inner
relatedness basis, Venus has an inner existential void of aloneness. It is more than just

40
aloneness. Relative to the impulse of Mars in Libra, would it not be likely for such a person to fill
up that void with the extremity of excessive sexual relationships? Therefore, at some point they
have to learn balance via discrimination. Whom to sleep with and whom not.

Q: - ? A: Libra is not the archetype that correlates with marriage, despite what the books say.
Marriage is an 8th house archetype, Scorpio. Is it not true that, throughout time, a relationship
was not considered a marriage until it was consummated? Sexual union is an 8th house
phenomenon. It is through the 8 house that we learn to make specific choices. With whom we
th

want to spend most of our time, and with whom not. We cannot have such an awareness until we
have initiated the archetype of Libra, diversity of typings. So through the awareness of the
diversity of typings we become aware of what types we want to spend most of our time with. 8th
house.

Example of modern history. If you simply go back to the late sixties, with Uranus transiting Libra,
what was the slogan of that time? Free love. And all the social experimentation that went into
recreating the dynamic of intimate relationships. At the same time Neptune transited Scorpio and
the slogan was “Flower Power”! And all the experimentation with drugs, the renaissance of
Eastern religions, the renaissance of mysticisms and the like, rebellion against existing consensus
- Uranus squaring the archetype of Capricorn. So there was a heavy social experimentation of
how to redefine the phenomena of intimate relationships, through initiating a diversity of all kinds
of ways of being in a relationship. At that point in time there were hippies living and sleeping
with each other, living together with 12, 15 people. Many people began to learn from that that
this was not what they wanted. But that original rebellion had to occur, and that was a reflection
of the original impulse when Neptune went into Libra in the late forties. And it became of age
when Uranus went into Libra in the late sixties.

So Libra is the archetype of initiating relationships with a diversity of types. To learn social
equality, social balance. Learning how to give, not just take. Learning how to listen to people, in
such a way as to actually hear the reality as it is existing for them, not just to interpret it through
the filter of our own reality.

The Libra archetype psychologically can also connect to various forms of mental illness -
schizophrenia, multiple personality syndrome, or various forms of neurosis or psychosis. Why?
There is a natural inconjunct to Pisces. And when you link this to the square to Cancer, you are
looking at the possibility of a fractured or disintegrated egocentric structure. It is not uncommon
when you have this archetype emphasized, at minimum to have what psychologists call
personality disorders.

41
Q: - ? A: Manic depression is a function of Capricorn. People become manic depressive because
they do not know who they are. They are so because they have been trying to conform to other
people's expectations of who they should be - Capricorn/Libra.

(2-1.50.00) SCORPIO: fixed, water, yin and energy returning to the center. Obviously, Scorpio,
Pluto, 8th house, ultimately correlate with what we are calling the Soul. The Soul itself is an
immutable consciousness, meaning it can not be destroyed. It can only evolve. The Soul, like
ego, like thought, like emotion, is pure energy. And just as scientists have rightfully pointed out,
energy can never be destroyed, it can only change form. The Soul evolves by changing form.
The principle is metamorphosis linked with evolution. The psychological correlations are these.
First of all, Scorpio correlates with the archetype of commitment. And commitment can also
ignite yet another archetype within Scorpio, which is the fear of entrapment. Being limited
through commitment via the choice that the commitment implies. Scorpio is the psychology of
consciousness, the whole field of psychology - motivations, intentions. It correlates with the
phenomena of compulsions or obsessions. It correlates with the deepest unconscious sense of
security that will exist in any person, unconscious security equations, which are the causal factor
in compulsion or obsession.

Scorpio correlates with sexual union. Think of the symbolism of sexual union. In old England that
used to be called "the little death". The little death of the ego, meaning at the moment of orgasm
there is no real sense of ego, is there? And this is now connecting to Pisces, the re-alignment of
ego to a deeper something or God. You see, the law of sexuality, spiritually speaking, is a much
vaster and deeper law than you can possibly understand. It is one of the seven great natural laws
of the manifested creation. It is the vehicle in which the Soul learns that it is a co-creator of the
reality with God, at a physical level. It is a vehicle in which karma is exchanged between people.
It is exchanged specifically through the osmosis of each other's sexual fluids. This is the greatest
reason to exercise, through Virgo, sexual discrimination. Whomever we are sleeping with,
through the law of Scorpio, we osmose and exchange karma. The simple truth of this. For
whomever you have slept with, is it not true that these people are more deeply inside of you than
those you have not? So the point with this is that Scorpio as an archetype correlates with sexual
law, in total, a part of which is sexual karma and the exchange of karma, through sexual fluids.

There is a difference in evolutionary terms between profane sex and sacred sex. There is a
difference between sex at a procreational level only and ultimately, in evolutionary sense, using
specific sexual methodologies to expand consciousness, called Tantra. In evolutionary terms,

42
celibacy cannot be naturally evolved into until there is a natural evolutionary progression from
base or primary sexuality, leading to Tantra, leading to natural celibacy. Celibacy is a natural
condition only for two percent of the population. Anything else in this is called repressed. And
when something is repressed, it becomes distorted.

Scorpio as an archetype correlates with all of this: the phenomena in the world that we call
psychology; the phenomena and nature of intentions, motivations, compulsions, obsessions. It
correlates with the phenomena of commitment. It correlates to the connection of making a
commitment to another person called marriage. It correlates with combining individual resources,
2nd house, with the resources of another, 8th house, to make a larger resource. It correlates
with the phenomena of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is different than transformation or
transcendence. Example of metamorphosis – caterpillar/cocoon/butterfly, one form changing into
another form, mutation. Whereas transformation is one form leading to another form, not a
drastic alteration of form. Transformation is one thing leading to another thing that is
recognizable. Transcendence is an entirely different archetype. Transcendence specifically
means transcending time and space. Transcendence is Neptune, transformation is Uranus,
metamorphosis is Pluto.

Scorpio, Pluto, 8th also correlate with the genetic coding within the human body - RNA/DNA
structure. How many of you realize that the secret to the real health of the body relative to toxins
is specific to Scorpio - colon, intestines? You are in a culture, based on the nature and types of
food that are culturally conditioned, that lends itself to extensive toxicity relative to the
accumulation of feces within the colon, the intestines, becoming the basis of toxicity, by osmosis
(Scorpio) to the red blood stream. This impacts on the immune cells. How? By creating early
crystallization of the membrane in the immune cells. One of the greatest things you can do for
yourself in terms of eliminating toxicity is through colonics, also a Scorpio phenomena.

If you understand this and you embrace the fact that Pluto is moving through Scorpio, this is
exactly why there has been an acceleration and mutation of all kinds of forms of life called viruses
and bacterias. Viruses and bacterias specifically correlate with Scorpio. Right now, and ever
since Pluto has been in Scorpio, they have been mutating like crazy in order, through the Taurus
polarity, to sustain and survive their own life forms. Relative to what? Relative to the breakdown
of the atmosphere, relative to the incredible impact of synthetic allopathic drugs. It is also why
there has been a tremendous focus within genetic engineering in the last 12 years. Genetic
engineering and altering the genetic structure of the human organism, gene splicing as an
example. That is why you have got, since Pluto in Scorpio, all of a sudden the capacity to test
blood, like in the O. J. Simpson case, and the genetic fingerprint.

43
The law of karma itself comes into Scorpio. Why? Because Scorpio correlates to choice making
and the consequences of choices. Because Scorpio is energy moving to the center, you have all
kinds of related dynamics. As an example, the dynamic called penetration. This is a Scorpio
phenomenon. What you are looking at in Scorpio is a person that is psychoanalyzing himself, to
penetrate his own psychology, his own motives, his own agendas, his own intentions. Where am
I coming from, where are you coming from? Therefore Scorpio asks “Why”?

(3-0.08.00) SAGITTARIUS: fire, yang, ruled by Jupiter, and mutable. Mutable, by the way, is a
very interesting archetype. What it fundamentally connects to is the idea of adaptability. That is
one of the reasons that the human species is still on the planet. Why? It is able to adapt,
relative to the survival instinct, in an incredible way. The human organism is one of the most
adaptable organisms on the planet. So, Sagittarius is what? This is the archetype in human
consciousness that makes us aware that we are linked to something larger than just the planet.
It makes us aware that there is in fact more, when we look out into space and see other planets.
This perceptual awareness creates the awareness within consciousness of what we are connected
to, which then becomes the basis of philosophical thinking (not empirical thinking), pondering,
speculation. Sag correlates ultimately to what we call truth, relative to the phenomena of
creation. Since something is in existence, there must be a basis to explain that which is in
existence - truth. And again, Jupiter connecting to Sag connects to the right brain, which is our
intuitive function. It is called the famous sixth sense. Intuition functions in a non-linear way.
Intuition is the vehicle in consciousness that allows for what people call visions.

The trouble about visions is that they are not time specific. Rarely in a vision are you given a
concrete sense of timing, nor are visions fated to happen. Forms of visions can be called
premonitions. Why? Sag is also connected to Pisces, a natural square. Premonitions are
specifically Pisces. They are coming through Jupiter, and here you have the connection in the
form of a vision. So in effect Sag is now going to connect to the function of our belief systems.
Now this is a very important point. Why? The nature of one's belief systems determines how one
interprets reality. And this is a critical point.

How we interpret reality does not necessarily mean that it is universally true. It may be true for
you. That is why in the last few years the slogan was “this is my truth”. All that language began
to happen when Neptune and Uranus were transiting Sag. Sag correlates with what is called the
transmigration of ideas, relative to the polarity of Gemini. A simple example. In the late 1800's,
Pluto and Neptune were in Gemini, and at that time the first real transmigration of Eastern ideas
into the Western world was occurring, and also Western ideas into the Eastern world. At that time

44
there were clear examples to demonstrate this point - Ramakrishna, Yogananda, etc.
Yogananda's specific mission, as he himself stated it, was to bring the Eastern way of looking at
life to the Western world. Transmigration of ideas, which is the function of Sag and Gemini.
Relative to Libra (sextile/trine), this now shows what Libra means - the relativity of truth.
Relative to the delusion of Capricorn, there is no “just one way”.

So, transmigration of ideas/belief systems. When you have this linked with the polarity of
Gemini, this becomes the basis of intellectual and philosophical disagreement. But again the core
point - whatever it is that constitutes the nature of your beliefs, your ideas, your intellectual
system - that will determine how you interpret reality external to yourself and internal to yourself.
That is why, when you have a transit moving through your 9th house, you should not be surprised
when you find yourself questioning the nature of your belief systems. It is now perhaps time to
alter in some way those belief systems that you had learned to interpret differently. How you
interpret reality specifically correlates to your attitude towards life, your attitude towards living.

If you've got Mercury in Capricorn, and you have more or less a self-defeating mental structure of
reality, what is your attitude towards living? It can be an attitude defined through futility. My
question becomes, is that really the way you want to live? Or is it just possible to interpret life
differently? All this is exactly why Sag correlates in psychological sense to restlessness. Sag has
an absolute need to explore, to embrace the totality. The real problem in Sag is what I call the
Billy Graham problem. The tendency in Sag is to make generalizations. So whatever your
specific beliefs are, the tendency is to make this generalized, meaning it is the belief or
philosophy that should be for all. What this is correlating to is the Billy Graham archetype of
needing to convince and convert, relative to the inconjunction to Cancer. Convince and convert
others to your own point of view, so that you feel emotionally secure.

The problem in Sag is that it tends to only orientate to a portion of the truth. The total truth is
demonstrated through Pisces. So now examine the fact that we have a natural mutable grand
cross between Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sag. Is it any wonder that this particular archetype in
total correlates to specific moments, in an individual's life or lifetimes, in which essential
philosophical or intellectual arguments or disagreements occur? In which the person is now made
aware of the limitations in their existing belief systems or intellectual organizations, which he now
needs to evolve towards Pisces to embrace more of the total truth?

From another point of view, the deepest truth in Sag is that it specifically correlates with natural
law, the truth that is self-evident within nature, that has nothing to do with man's opinion. They
exist of themselves and will continue to exist, whether there is a human species or not. There is a

45
fundamental difference between natural law and man-made law. When we understand this from
the point of view of Pisces, we understand that all of the manifested creation is interrelated, and
equal to itself, that nothing is superior or inferior (Virgo polarity) to anything else. Relative to
man-made law, we have this delusion that somehow man, human species, is superior to any
other form in the creation, including animals, plants, and so on. And look what this delusive
thinking has brought us now. What is happening to the atmosphere, what is happening to the
food production sources, what is happening to all the forms of animals on this planet? How many
are going extinct? How is this having a direct impact within the balance of the totality called Gaia?
And what are the consequences therein?

In the old Latin dictionary there was a word that described what we are talking about, daemon.
And the Christian perversion of this word is demon. Its description in that dictionary is “when the
consciousness in human form unites with the consciousness of every other form of life, including
the animal forms of life, it becomes a messenger of God.” And yet, the Christian perversion of
this word is demon. That is why, if you look at an iconography of the Christian hell, you see
animal forms in a distorted shape. This is correlating to the human delusion that the human
species is superior to the animal forms. The word daemon is specific to Sag.

Psychologically, Sag has a direct correlation to what we call humor. This specifically follows
Scorpio. Why? Scorpio is so darned inwardly intense, and everything seems to be always in a
life-or-death state, the extremes of black and white. So, happily, God made Sag. Keeping in
mind the connection to Virgo, humor or laughter is an actual vehicle to positive healing. Why?
Because it creates psychological levity upon oneself. One learns to laugh at oneself, and to laugh
at the absurdity of life itself, if you will. From this point of view, the Taoist would call it the vision
of the absurd. And once you can embrace the vision of the absurd, then nothing can really stick
to you. From the point of view of Virgo, Virgo will then realize, relative to Sag, that health
(because let us agree that Virgo has its preoccupation with health) is ultimately a function of
inner radiance. Whereas Virgo, in and of itself, gets caught up in this method and that technique,
this many calories and that diet. But Sag realizes that health is a function of inner radiance. If
you are in a state of inner radiance, radiating outwards, you are in a state of constitutional
vitality. Then how in the world do you really get sick? Because that kind of inner radiance is a
stirring in the immune system, which is regulated by Neptune, which correlates to Pisces. So you
see the linkage here. And so, what Sag is trying to teach on a psychological level is psychological
levity, to learn how to laugh at one's self.

One more thing. At this point of human evolution, relative to the natural grand mutable cross, I
said that Sag correlates with the transmigration of ideas. But at this time it also correlates in

46
terms of conscious awareness, collective consciousness, with the absolute international linkage of
this planet. Why? Through transportation of ideas, Gemini, by TV, radio, printed media etc.
Never before in human history was there this level of information and ideas, communication,
instantly received by people simultaneously all over the planet, creating a level of collective
awareness that has never existed before. Think about this, and the impact this has on the planet.

(3-0.24.00) CAPRICORN. I would argue very strongly that 90% of people all over this planet do
not want war. That the average person simply wants to live life in harmony and peace. This
means that 10% are in control (Capricorn) of what happens to the 90%. This is the problem of
Capricorn. You have to keep in mind that the polarity here is Cancer. And now we have a small
group of egos who have tremendous desires for social position, stature and prominence
(Capricorn), who are fueled by Leo, delusions of grandeur, that now want to impose (Scorpio)
their Sagittarian vision, belief, of how things should be. Which are actually supporting their
egocentric desire to be in power and create the Capricorn delusion of the end justifying the
means. So my question at this point becomes, if this continues to happen, given the current state
of evolution, the tremendous level of awareness, the dependence of the international linkage,
what are the consequences?

So Capricorn correlates to what? It has many applications. The highest possible application,
metaphysically speaking, is the phenomena of time and space - the law of cause and effect
therein, the phenomena of finite-hood, the concept and the experience of emotional maturation.
Why? Because the consciousness is aware that it has a certain time span to live. It is born and it
dies. That awareness occurs, by the way, at the first Saturn square to itself, around seven years
of age. It is aware of its own mortality, which begins a process of emotional maturation. Around
seven years of age the child becomes aware of the kind of country it is living in, which then sets
in motion the imprinting of the current social conditioning. What to think, what to believe, what
to value, how to live, how not to live, what is right, what is wrong, morals, taboos, customs, laws,
traditions, and how much this is shaping the sense of identity. And from the point of view of
Sagittarian beliefs, this now connects to righteousness. It is better to be an American than a
Zairian. Capricorn at this level directly connects to the nature of our conditioning. Conditioning
patterns of all kinds - societal conditioning and parental conditioning.

At another level, Capricorn correlates with how the social system tells you how to go about
actualizing, Leo, your sense of social purpose that you call career. If I want to be a psychologist,
society tells me to go to school for seven years for that piece of paper called PhD, and then I am
authorized to be a psychologist. What if that person is inherently a psychologist? The social
system will not acknowledge that person as a psychologist until in fact there is a piece of paper on

47
the wall. That is exactly why, as a result, psychologically Capricorn can correlate with what is
called frustration, or the psychology of self-defeat or the psychology and attitude of futility -
feeling defeated or crushed by forces larger than yourself that you cannot control (Capricorn).

Any social grouping of people must have socially agreed contracts, in which that social grouping
can live together as an organized whole. That is the function of Capricorn. That becomes the
basis of what you call consensus, and therefore the basis of what you call the psychology and
pressure to conform to what the consensus dictates. Now it is necessary. The consequence, if this
was not true, would be a perpetual state of social anarchy. Everybody doing their own thing, via
Leo.

How many of you want to live in a state of social anarchy? No takers? That is exactly why you
have society. And now you know the basis of why you have rules, regulations, customs, norms,
and taboos. This becomes the basis of nationalism. You have all learned that somehow Capricorn
correlates with boundaries or borders or perimeters. Well, a perimeter or a boundary is called a
country. A perimeter or border is called skin, the border of your self in the human organism. And
now, with Neptune and Uranus transiting Capricorn, this is why you have seen all over the planet
the delusion of nationalism, and therefore the insidious insanity of ethnic cleansing. I am right,
they are wrong. My race is better than yours. My religion is better than yours, more pure. And
now with Neptune in Capricorn, the fanaticism of Islam. All you have to do is to be an enemy of
Allah, and you can be killed. Is that not a man-made delusion based on a man-made religion?

This point of nationalism is a much deeper point than you possibly realize, because this becomes
the causal factor of what we call judgment. Going back to the fact that Capricorn relates to
Taurus and Virgo (we said earlier that Virgo correlates to superiority and inferiority, relative to the
original Garden of Eden myth), and now connecting this to nationalism, and then connecting this
to judgment. Suppose you find yourself to be an American in Paris being not so happy, because
now here is the French nationalist judging the American as somehow inferior to the French
superiority. This is a little, teeny, stupid example, but it permeates everywhere in France. These
are all Capricorn phenomena.

From a psychological point of view within consciousness, Capricorn also correlates with the
following dynamics: self-determination, accepting your responsibility in your own actions,
emotional maturation, also repression and suppression. That which is repressed goes into the
Uranian element of consciousness, which is called the subconscious in Freudian terms or
individuated unconscious in Jungian terms. Whatever is repressed or suppressed becomes
distorted. If you connect this to the sexual impulse, which is the original instinct reflected

48
through Aries, keeping in mind Aries is naturally square to Capricorn, now what you have is
suppression of natural sexual laws or sexual impulses, relative to the current social conditioning
as defined by the consensus called society, which itself is conditioned by the nature of its religion.
When you have this kind of suppression, the natural instincts emanating from the primary brain
come under the archetype of "dark eros". Dark here can only be used in the context of what is
considered white or pure. The law of sexuality is natural, and it only becomes problematic when
it is suppressed or conditioned relative to man-made presumptions.

Capricorn also correlates with the psychology that we call depression. Now if you examine the
nature of depression, in essence it is reflection. Is it not true when we are depressed, we are
simultaneously in a state of reflection? The point is that reflection/depression is necessary to
consciousness. Why? Because when you are depressed and/or reflecting, you are focusing on
what? Something in your life that is no longer working, that needs to be changed. And,
therefore, depression and reflection are necessary to create the awareness of what we need to
structurally change in the context of our inner or outer reality. In order for the cardinal archetype
of Capricorn to live, this means to initiate change. In other words, it is natural to consciousness,
what I am saying. And with the advent of all the pulp type books telling us that we are not
supposed to be depressed, and here is a magical formula not to be depressed, this is pure
bullshit. Right away you have created yet another cultural lie, meaning that, if I find myself
depressed, I should conclude that there is something wrong with me. And, in reality,
depression/reflection are natural to consciousness. The only time they must be treated on a
clinical basis is when they are becoming inhibiting to living, to functional living. The actual
physiology of depression comes from the pineal gland through a hormone called melatonin.
Melatonin is only secreted when the light around consciousness is dark (night time).

Capricorn also correlates, relative to Leo, to how you are going to establish and integrate your
sense of personal purpose and authority within the context of the society you are living in. The
society, where we all have a need to establish and exercise and assert our own sense of personal
authority. And, if this is done rightly, then you can be recognized for that kind of authority.
Example: I have Capricorn on the 3rd, I wrote a book called Pluto, somehow it has been
recognized. Now I am an authority on Pluto. And guess what stands in the polarity house to my
3rd? Pluto. Conjunct Saturn... Is that too literal?

(3-040.00) AQUARIUS: ruler Uranus, fixed, air, yang. It correlates with the archetype of
liberation. Liberation from what? Conditioning patterns. Conditioning patterns can be linked
with parents, the society, but there is also conditioning based on past life memories that are held
within the Uranian element of our consciousness, which again, in Freudian terms can be called the

49
subconscious, or in Jungian terms the individuated unconscious. That means content that is
unique and specific to you. As we said earlier, Mercury correlates with short-term memory,
Uranus with long-term memory. How many of you can remember in total detail what you did two
weeks ago? So where did these memories go? They are in your consciousness. Where are they?
They are in your subconscious/ individuated unconscious. The extension of this long term
memory goes into other lifetimes. And you have to remember that each life that you have lived
has also been conditioned by parents, by society, by other memories from other life times. It is
progressive. So the intention of Uranus, ultimately, is to have an absolute liberation from all
causes of conditioning in order to arrive at what the Buddhist would call the Diamond Nature and
what the Taoist would call the Clear Lake. That is the unconditioned self, conditioned by nothing.
Now that clearly is a long journey in evolutionary terms. But this is its intention, and this is
exactly why you have learned in your traditional books that Uranus correlates with rebellion.
Rebellion is what? Rebellion against what? Existing authority or existing conditions or existing
circumstances.

The act of rebellion/liberation is a necessary psychological act within consciousness, for it allows
evolution to proceed, it allows for the Jungian idea of individuation to occur. The problem in
Capricorn being conformity, relative to Cancer's need to feel secure, is that the majority of people
conform to the consensus expectations to what reality is in every sort of way, just to feel secure.
What is called cattle consciousness. Now, my question to you is, do you want to be in the cattle
consciousness, or in fact do you want to create a reality that is defined through the Uranian part
of your nature, that is a lifestyle that is reflective of your totality? But this then demands that
you have the Arian courage to stand as a group of one if necessary, that is, to confront your fear
of being insecure. Not many people have such courage. Not too many people understand how to
motivate themselves to be a social organism of one. Why? Because most people do not realize
that it is another level of "social" reality that occurs within their own consciousness that is called
the inner living universe, so that the ultimate sense of security (Cancer) is found within the inner
universe. Once the person makes the psychological break from the need to conform, they are
now, Uranus, vibrating differently. As you begin to vibrate differently, that is the vibration of
individuation, you will now begin, through your Venus function, to attract differently. That means
people of like mind. So, in the end you can attract fellow iconoclasts, people that do not fit the
mold, that do not fit the stupid slots. But it takes an act of courage to make this break.

Aquarius will describe within a social grouping three distinct types of groupings:

1). A small percentage of the total grouping are in fact called social heretics and/or iconoclasts
who absolutely and totally rebel against any external pressure to be anything other than they are.

50
These people are typically totally individualistic, who rebel against any kind of social interaction
whatsoever. They remain in a state of splendid isolation. This is a very small percentage.

2). A group within this would be a small grouping of people who hang out with similarly culturally
alienated souls. These become the political revolutionaries, the Karl Marx's, who form alliances
and allegiances with people of like mind. These sorts of people tend to become the leading edge
of social change. And initially, when their voice is heard by the consensus, yes, they are
perceived as an absolute threat. Simply imagine a bunch of yuppies sitting around a cocktail
party getting drunk on their stupid Martinis, and from stage left comes Tarantula! This small
group here is Tarantula. They upset the consensus, and the consensus will now try to isolate
them.

You have a major amount of people with ... the illusion of teenagers. All of us when we are 12 -
20 years old, we think we are groovy. Our parents are stupid. Their generation sucks; we're
enlightened, we've a new vision. And this is necessary! I mean, every grouping of people when
they reach that age, necessarily must rebel against the existing generation. Why? Because the
new generation correlates with evolutionary change. That is the natural archetypal impulse. But
the problem in this, for example the punk rockers (rainbow hair cuts, etc.) Now we could look at
this whole grouping of people, and you will find that roughly 80% of them are thinking they are
so groovy because of the punk hairdo are simply conforming to the peer group pressure without
realizing it. And they still think they are groovy. Do you see my point? But here is the question -
what is the smaller percentage of these people that initiated the punk rock movement? In other
words, there is only a small percentage that is truly revolutionary, that is truly standing apart.
And everybody else is going to conform to them and thinking that they are now so revolutionary
and groovy. This is exactly why from all the hippies in the sixties and early seventies, the
majority became yuppies in the late eighties. Do you see how that follows? This happens in
every generation.

3). A real small percentage are what you call social dinosaurs, people that are trying to embrace
some prior value system from another time and trying to resurrect it and bringing it back to this
time. An example of this is Reagan. This man was an Aquarius, and what was the President he
thought was the best? Calvin Coolidge, who was called the "do-nothing President". Everything
will just take care of itself. Reagan's great idea for social welfare was called voluntarism. This is
an idea of the twenties, and yet he wanted to bring this back into the eighties. So there is a small
percentage of the Aquarian archetype that tries to embrace something from way long ago and
bring it back into modern time.

51
If you look at the nature of any social grouping, you will find these facts. Aquarius as an
archetype correlates with this dynamic, and on this basis we all attract people of like mind. This
is the vibrational nature of Uranus, like attracting like. This is the Uranian principle. Now that is
why you have in your happy traditional books the Aquarius correlation with friends, friendships,
organizations, or groups of like mind. That is the principle of like attracting like, relative to our
need to feel secure, Cancer. To feel secure with people of like mind.

Now we go back to the core point of liberation. In relationship to Capricorn, we said that one of
its critical points is reflection. When we are reflecting/depressed we are becoming aware of what
we need to structurally change in order to grow. That awareness leads to Aquarius, the liberation
from some pre-existing condition that allows us to move forwards and grow in our life.

If you just examine this idea at this time, i.e. Neptune/Uranus in Capricorn, here we have the
archetype of liberation currently in the archetype of Capricorn. Think of the many civil wars now
under the banner of nationalism. The ultimate intention here with Uranus in Capricorn is to throw
off the Capricorn chains of tyranny or dictatorship. People want to be free. As we move towards
the Aquarian age, and Neptune/Uranus get over into Aquarius, the archetype of
liberation/rebellion/revolution will in fact be emphasized. Now, most of us who study history
realize that world change only occurs through critical cataclysmic circumstantial necessity. That
is not instant collective enlightenment. The prognosis: things will probably have to get a whole
lot worse before this circumstantial necessity truly shifts the collective consciousness into the
Aquarian age.

(Recommended book on sociology in astrology: Noel Tyl "Holistic Astrology".) But the core point -
Uranus/Aquarius correlate to liberation. For example, wherever you find Uranus in your natal
chart, the sign Aquarius, these are specifically the areas that your Soul can access and tends to
access via the archetype of liberation from existing conditioning, and to do this in your own way.

Example. Uranus in 8th, the intention of your Soul is to liberate from what? All your existing
fears of betrayal, abandonment and loss and violations of trust. How does the liberation occur?
By examining the causal factors therein. By embracing the causal factors therein it does not take
long to figure out what to do to change the pattern. Another example - Uranus in 4th, ego, what
is being liberated from? What is being radically altered? How you see yourself.

More about the metaphysical. You may have read that somehow Uranus correlates with the
higher mind. What is the higher mind? From the point of view of creation, as the creation got
projected into time/space, the actual medium, vehicle, of that projected creation in essence is

52
electrical. The source of the projected creation, in the common terminology, is God, the giant
computer. As if the creation point was a master computer program and was then projected
through time/space, in such a way that the totality of the projected creation is originally linked
with that master computer or the big brain. So in a very similar way within human
consciousness, we have a thing called the brain, and the very essence of the brain is electrical.
Again, the nature of thought, yes it is energy, but the essence of that energy is electrical energy.
The brain functions through sparking electrical currents moving within it. So what we are looking
at here is that Uranus/Aquarius specifically correlate with the human brain, specifically correlate
with the electrical structuring of the brain, for example the synapsal structure. And from this
point of view we can call it a radio receiver that is naturally tuned in to the original brain or the
original computer we call God. This is really interesting to examine, because at this point in time,
with Uranus/Neptune passing through Capricorn, we have to keep in mind that one of the deepest
correlations with Capricorn is time and space, and even how we perceive time.

The perception of time is relative to the metabolism rate in any organism. For example, how a fly
is perceiving time is fundamentally different than how the human consciousness perceives time.
Now, metabolism in the body is regulated through the thyroid. And one of the critical
physiological substances that correlate to the functioning of the metabolism rate, relative to the
thyroid, is iodine. Now the thyroid and iodine are connected to Capricorn and Saturn. Anything
that Uranus touches by transit is accelerated. So right away you see the acceleration of time,
Uranus in Capricorn. Right now on this planet, there is a universal experience of having the sense
or perception of time somehow seeming to speed up.

What is the deal here? You have to remember that again Uranus is electrical, and when it speeds
up something, it simultaneously creates a dehydration action, dehydration of iodine, which is then
simultaneously impacting on the perception of time in the human organism. Now at the very
same moment, going back to the analogy of the big brain and the little brain, at the level of the
human brain, Uranus also correlates with what is called dendrites, the formation of dendrites,
which is responsible for the evolution of the brain. Every time we have an "aha!", a new dendrite
is being made. Most of us realize that only roughly 10% of the potential of the brain has been
actualized. Because we have this Neptune/Uranus transit coming through Aquarius, Aquarius
being the sign relative to the ages in transition (i.e. Pisces to Aquarius), what we are now looking
at is a speeding up in time, which specifically correlates with rapid evolution within the human
brain.

The most common experience for the human being to have now that proves this statement -
many, many people all over the earth for the last six to eight years have had this incredibly

53
interesting experience of suddenly finding that their consciousness on a conscious level is full of
random, sporadic and incomplete thoughts that they themselves are not in control of. They just
somehow seem to be appearing within the consciousness. And at the same time, all this new
level of thought, which is incomplete and fragmented at this point, is simultaneously disrupting
the sleep patterns. Right now, another universal experience. Keeping in mind Capricorn
correlates with conditioning, so we have all been conditioned to think that we must have seven to
eight hours of sleep, roughly from ten to six or seven in the morning. Right now, all over this
planet, many, many people are in fact fully awake at three in the morning and dead asleep at two
in the afternoon, and all combinations therein, with no predictability. At a brain level, what this
connects to is Neptune, because sleep patterns are regulated through the pineal gland in the
brain, which is the very center of the brain, which secretes the key hormone called melatonin.
Melatonin has many functions, one of which is to induce sleep or consciousness, the biological
clock. So, right now there is an acceleration of electrical energy in the brain that is
simultaneously impacting on the pineal gland, which means the human brain relative to the
universal brain has an abundant amount of melatonin within it.

So, in addition to the evolving brain, i.e. thought and consciousnesses that you do not seem to be
in control of, it is simultaneously through the pineal gland secreting the abundant amount of
melatonin which is disrupting the sleep patterns. So the question becomes, how come? And the
issue here is that the human brain is now on a threshold of rapid development of more of the
potential within it, the causative factor being the Universal Brain that we call God.

The simplest way for those that connect to spiritual life and/or want to know God, to know God
operating in your life now, is the following. All you have to do is to pay attention within your own
consciousness to the nature and types of thoughts that are occurring in your consciousness of
their own volition (no analytical thinking), no matter how incomplete, disjointed, or fragmented
these thoughts may be. And these thoughts are specific to your future. These thoughts will
always implicate your future. So in effect this is the hand of God in each individual's
consciousness. It is accessing that individual's larger blueprint, the essence of which is defined by
the archetype of liberation, to liberate from existing conditioning, whatever that conditioning is for
you. And to move on into a future that is less conditioned, meaning the actualization of your
individuation. That is on a personal level.

At another level, many of these thoughts are of a collective nature, i.e. thoughts that are specific
to the evolutionary requirements of the planet. Rudhyar predicted this time many years ago. It
is what he then called "seed people", certain consciousnesses that are receptive to the new seed
thoughts that correlate with the new age. And many of these thoughts of course will be perceived

54
from the existing reality, the consensus of Capricorn, as Uranus, too radical!

So this is exactly what is occurring on the planet now; and it is going to be accelerated when
Neptune and Uranus go into Aquarius. In other words, "You ain't seen nothing yet!".

Q: - ? A: That is right, because Neptune specifically correlates, via the pineal, via melatonin, to
dreams.

Q: - ? A: That is simply that your Soul is trying to purge thought forms that are self-
undermining, self-defeating, and will keep you ensnared into the past. The key at this level is to
interpret rightly why this is occurring.

Q: - ? A: They are positive, because it is eliminating self-defeating thought mechanisms.

Q: - ? A: The element of repetitive thoughts, linked with the future, no matter how disturbing
they may be, are in fact the thought forms to act upon that implicate the immediate future of
oneself.

Q - ? A: The best way to do that is to simply designate a certain amount of time every day in
which the consciousness is doing nothing, except either reflecting or allowing itself to be clear in
such a way as to receive the thoughts. The thoughts are already there. It is only a matter of
paying attention to them.

Now, Aquarius and Uranus also have other interesting correlations. They specifically correlate to
the subconscious/individuated unconscious. Again, this is content that is unique to the individual.
Within the subconscious/individuated unconscious exists the larger blueprint for the entire life,
and also the element of consciousness that becomes the receiver or receptacle of all kinds of
memory. The memories of this life, i.e. something that occurred one day when you were five
years old, or the memories of every other lifetime that you have lived. For example, that is the
area that the hypnotherapist will access, or that the meditator will access through meditation,
with spontaneous past life memories. And it also correlates to the element in consciousness that
receives dynamics that Saturn cannot deal with, and then suppresses into the
subconscious/individuated unconscious.

Q: Example? A: A male who probably has homosexual tendencies and cannot deal with them,
and then it gets suppressed.

55
And Aquarius and Uranus, in and of itself, will naturally correlate to the impulse or idea within
consciousness relative to social systems, i.e. Capricorn, to make them much more socially
equitable for all the citizens involved. And at that level it is connected to socialism.

Now when you look at the birth chart, wherever you find the sign Aquarius and the planet Uranus,
this is the individual signature in each birth chart through which the Soul intends to liberate
something, to liberate from some existing or past condition. And that is specific to each person,
meaning there is no one right way for all. The key, in order to do so via Aquarius and Uranus, is
to create a consciousness that has learned to become objective. This is why you read, in the
happy books, the word detachment.

This means, relative to the polarity of Leo (following Cancer), that the consciousness at some
point must learn to detach from its own subjective reality as its only point of view of reality. And
detaching from this is breaking free from the ego, in order to learn objectivity. To see oneself,
others, and reality in general in a fundamentally objective way. But to accomplish that, one must
simultaneously infer and actualize the dynamic of de-conditioning. So where we find the sign
Aquarius and Uranus in the birth chart, this is exactly where this dynamic of detachment, which
then leads to objectivity, can occur. Example. When you have Aquarius on the 4th and a Pisces
Moon, and say that person had a heavy duty psychological sexual abuse in childhood, that
impacted imprint on the emotional reality relative to the self-image. At some point that person is
going to get out of this, out of the emotionalism of it, creating a situation in consciousness where
they detach from it, i.e. stepping back from it in order to objectively view it, in order to
understand it and then to de-condition from it. And then the question becomes how can the
person do that?

One obvious medium would be through therapy and talking to an external person who can then
create objective feedback. You have to remember here that Uranus is the higher octave of
Mercury. Therefore, it still has something to do with communication. Removing that particular
fear of vulnerability, opening up to a second party so to speak, who can then give them objective
feedback and/or information, knowledge (Uranus), that allows them to see those original imprints
in a much more clear, objective way. Or they could do it through friends who have that kind of
level of sophistication. Aquarius, you see! Or they could do it through reading certain types of
material that deals with that kind of topic. They could do it just by the act of putting it down on a
piece of paper. Once it is on paper, you created detachment. Oh, now I can look at it objectively.
Versus being stuck in the emotional part of it.

56
(3-1.45.45) PISCES: yin (energy coming back to the center), mutable, water /Neptune. Now
Pisces in my view is probably the sign, as is Neptune, that is most misunderstood in all of
astrology. Given the fact that I have a Pisces Moon and my planetary ruler of the South Node in
the 12th, I have a pretty good working experiential knowledge of Pisces. What I would say about
it comes out of my own living experience. The first thing to remember, as we said yesterday -
Neptune and Pisces specifically correlate with the phenomena of consciousness itself,
consciousness in a total sense. Not just consciousness limited to human consciousness, but the
entire phenomena of consciousness. Let us agree that consciousness exists everywhere. It is not
specific to just the human being. That is the kind of thinking that comes out of the Garden of
Eden myth, where the human organism is somehow superior to the totality of creation.
Consciousness exists everywhere and in all forms. It exists even in a rock. The only difference is
the level of self-awareness within consciousness, consciousness being aware that it is conscious.
This is the only issue to focus on in terms of the differentiation of consciousness.

This now connects to the idea of Gaia, and those that promote Gaia thinking are quite right. It is
actually a Shamanistic way of looking at life, meaning all of creation is interactive in
consciousness within its totality. And, relative to the principle of evolution, consciousnesses in
various forms have degrees of self-awareness, consciousness being aware of itself. The rock is
not conscious that it is a rock, but consciousness exists in the rock. A dog is aware that it is a
dog, even though it does not have the terminology to call itself dog. (If you dispute this, simply
examine the fact that they dream all the time, as do cats.) So if we understand that the totality
of creation is entirely conscious and interrelated, it is therefore equal. There is no issue here of
superiority or inferiority. Now if we understand this, we simultaneously are dissolving (Neptune)
the wrong thought form that the human being, the only kind having consciousness, is superior to
any other form of creation. The fact is, again, everything is conscious within the created
universe.

Now, as we said yesterday, consciousness can be analogous to water. Water of course is Pisces,
Neptune, etc. In and of itself water has no form, and yet it can assume the form of any shape or
structure that it is put into. At that point it assumes the consciousness that is intrinsic to the
form having that shape or structure or nature. Human being is a form. The rock is a form. This
microphone is a form. Now the perception of the totality of creation is therefore conditioned by
the nature of the form in which consciousness exists. We are now talking Pisces-like language.
And it is interactive. The medium of interaction is what Yogananda used to call lifetrons, which are
actually subatomic particles. That is the actual binding force through which all of consciousness
interrelates. What this really means in essence is that the ultimate consciousness we call God
permeates the totality of consciousness via the mechanism called lifetrons, at a subatomic level.

57
Why talk about all this? The connection here is the archetype of Neptune/Pisces being
transcendence. Again, Capricorn connects to time and space. Neptune/Pisces connect to infinity,
the timeless universal, or the absolute. Every human being on earth has a transcendent impulse
within their consciousness. All forms of consciousness have a transcendent impulse. The
transcendent impulse itself stimulates the principle of evolution. When we talk about the Soul
and the actual dynamic that promotes its evolution, i.e. the dynamic within it, we will discuss the
fact that there are two simultaneous, yet antithetical desires that are in fact the inner mechanism
that promotes the evolution of the Soul.

One desire is to separate from the Source, one desire is to return. The desire to return is ignited
through the archetype of transcendence, Pisces. Simply remember that Pisces is naturally
connected, through the triad to Scorpio and Cancer. When we take our transcendent impulse,
Piscean archetype, seriously, we have to employ, through polarity i.e. Virgo-specific methods,
techniques or rituals to allow the transcendent impulse to be not only activated but to become
conscious. When we do this, over time the consciousness begins to consciously tune in to this
sub-atomic structure within the totality of consciousness that we can call lifetrons, wherein lies
the universal consciousness called God. This then allows the transcendent impulse in
consciousness to become conscious and actual experience, which is very different from Piscean
blind faith. When you connect this back to Scorpio, Scorpio requires truth - show it to me! Only
when it is made black and white to the Scorpio face, he will accept it. And in the last analysis I
would argue that anybody in their spiritual life does in fact require proof. Faith may be the carrot
offered to the horse leading to experience, and it is positive in that sense. But faith in itself has a
limit. So Pisces/Neptune correlate to these sorts of ideas.

Now, relative to Uranus, there is no one right way for all. This is the problem with religions.
Religions are functions of the consensus, by the way, whereas true spirituality is universal.
Meaning any true form of spirituality will not put down any other valid form of spirituality. Will
put down any false form of spirituality, as in clowns like Rajneesh. And as an aside, simply
remember this point. A truly God-realized Soul only points the way home - Cancer, Pisces,
Scorpio. They do not point to them self. And with a truly God-realized Soul, the personal reality
of that individual is no different from that what they are teaching. If you look at the nature of
what Rajneesh was teaching, yes, a lot of his words sounded right, but the actual personal reality
of the man was at odds with the teaching.

So, wherever you find Pisces, Neptune etc. in the birth chart, this is the person's natural way to
spiritualize. As an example, if you have Neptune in 4th, that means the right way for you to

58
spiritualize is through the emotional body, emotional forms of spirituality. If you've got Neptune
in the 8th or 2nd, this is going to be occurring through the physical or sexual body, by
employment of certain ancient or traditional sexual methodologies, for example Tantra.

Neptune/Pisces has a direct connection, relative to the brain again, to the pineal gland. In
allopathic medicine they really do not know what this gland does. In fact, for many years the
common thought in allopathic thinking was that the only role this gland had was some obtuse
linkage to puberty, and that after puberty it somehow atrophies within the brain. This is of course
manure. The pineal gland in no person atrophies. In fact, in many people after puberty it
becomes even more dominant. Again, it secretes the very key substance called melatonin. At
one level this is in fact responsible for our sleep cycles. But examine this question relative to the
point of view of consciousness; why does consciousness in human form have to sleep at all? Why
are we not just fully awake all the time?

Q: To digest the material? A: That is right, because consciousness, relative to Neptune, at a

Neptunian level, is hypersensitive. It is like putting water on a sponge, meaning consciousness is
exposed to all kinds of random stimulus. Particularly in our time (TV, radio, newspapers), by the
tremendous level of collective awareness relative to the international consciousness or linkage.
And so what happens is that, because the brain has only evolved 10% of its capacity,
consciousness becomes overwhelmed by this random stimulus. So the purpose of sleeping is
twofold. First, to regenerate the brain and to minimize the intake of stimulus. Second, via the
triad connection to Pluto, to purge unnecessary content, unnecessary stimulus. Which then
becomes the basis of what I call junk dreams that mean nothing. Most people's dreams, 70% of
dream contents, are in fact junk dreams.

But at another level there are all kinds of dreams which correlate with Neptune. There are past
life dreams, of which there are two types. The most common type is having a series or a diversity
of past lifetimes combined in one dream. That type will seem Salvador Dali-like; all kinds of
interesting symbolism. You can also have a past life dream that is singular or specific to one life.

The imagery of a past life dream will always be quite dark and will have a dark halo or circle
around it. When a Soul has a past life dream, there is a reason for it. The symbolic nature of the
dream, or in cases, the linear nature of the dream, will have some specific relationship to the
person's existing circumstances.

There is also what is called super-conscious dreams. When this occurs, what actually happens to
the physical body, prior to the super-conscious dream or basically simultaneously, is that the

59
breathing mechanism stops. The initial imagery in such a dream is in some way linked with the
sensation of falling, flying or moving rapidly forwards. Then, when the person now begins to have
the super-conscious dream, there will be two types.

One type is in which the person is fully conscious and will actually have an experience of being
transported or taken to some other plane or form of existence, as in the astral plane, and will
then receive some degree of guidance and/or instruction, the nature of which is specific to the
person's current circumstances in life. The other type - being taken or transported somewhere,
having no conscious memory of this when the individual wakes up, and yet the inner knowing of
having been some place very special (many would call this an "out-of-body experience"). In this
case the physical body, if you touched it, would appear as having rigor mortis, being frozen. If
you put a mirror under the nostrils, you will see no breath. The point within this, the existence of
consciousness is not dependent on the physical breathing of the body. Upon waking, the classical
symptom is depression and/or not immediately remembering who and where you are.

To interpret a dream in the right way, you have to understand that dreaming occurs within cycles
that generally mirror the lunation cycle - New Moon to New Moon. This is why people who get
into dream analysis must write down their dreams relative to the cycles. Within the cycle there
will be a primary theme, so that any one dream relative to the cycle can then be interpreted
rightly, once the theme is identified. Until you have identified the theme, you cannot interpret
the symbolism in the dream rightly.

Now at this level Neptune also correlates, via the pineal gland and Pisces, to meditation. The
actual role of melatonin in consciousness within the brain is, in fact, to dissolve (Neptune) the
boundaries (Saturn) that separate subjective or egocentric consciousness from Soul
consciousness. The center of gravity in most people's consciousness is, in fact, within the ego.
When a person meditates, over a great length of time, the very act of meditation is
simultaneously stimulating, through the electrical impulse within the brain, the pineal gland,
which then in turn is stimulating the production of melatonin. Melatonin is only actively secreted
within the brain when there is decreased light around the pupils of the eye, which is why in
meditation your eyes are closed. And which is why, when you are asleep, your eyes are closed
and you dream. In any case, meditation is a function of the pineal gland. And over time it will
actually dissolve the Saturnian boundary within consciousness separating the egocentric
consciousness and the Soul, in such a way that over time the center of gravity within
consciousness now becomes within the Soul, not the
ego, which is the ultimate intention of spiritualized life. At that point, the consciousness is
consciously aware of the interrelatedness of its consciousness to all forms of consciousness in

60
total, via the sub-atomic structure called lifetrons it is tuned into or tapped into.

Now at the same time, certain types of people have this very active pineal function without
conceiving of themselves as spiritual beings. When that occurs, the pineal gland, Neptune/Pisces,
becomes the causal factor in various forms of psychic disruption or mental illnesses, as in
psychoses or neuroses, schizophrenias, and the like. I studied the correlation between mental
illnesses and astrology. In my research, 90% of the people in mental institutions had an
emphasized Neptune/Piscean signature, and/or an emphasized 12th house.

Neptune also connects to what we call imagination or fantasy, and illusion (illusion considered as
reality) and delusion. Now one of the ways that Pisces and Neptune operate psychologically at key
points in the evolutionary journey, if one is in fact defined through illusion or delusion, is to create
necessary experiences that are called disillusionment. Disillusionment is a very difficult
experience and yet necessary, because it ultimately aligns us with Virgo reality, that what is
actually true.

Where you find Neptune and Pisces in your chart, and maybe planets in the 12th, Neptune in a
house making aspects to planets in another house, these become the natural areas in your life in
which the potentiality of disillusionment can occur, relative to the formation of your illusions and
delusions.

From the point of view of consciousness in human form, we can use the interesting Jungian
terminology of collective unconsciousness/collective consciousness. Now what does this mean?
The collective unconscious is the content of the consciousness of the entire human organism,
which means the totality of memories, knowledge, and experience of the human organism since
its origin. That all resides in each human being.

And then there is the collective consciousness, which simply means the totality of all thought, and
all vibration within thought, that exists at any moment in time, that all of us, via our Neptunian
function, tune into, and then, through the connection to Scorpio, psychically osmose within our
own consciousness in such a way that the impact of that totality can then in its own way alter or
change our perception of personal reality. There are three kinds of collective consciousness:
Racial collective consciousness. The structure of consciousness in an Asian body is different from
the structure of consciousness, say, in an Aryan or Caucasian body.

And there is collective consciousness linked with nationality, say the collective consciousness of
Americans versus the collective consciousness of Tibetans. And within this, a subcategory,

61
regional consciousness. The collective regional consciousness of the Southeast in the US, as an
example, is different from the collective consciousness of those in the Northeast. And the point
again, we are all tuned into this stuff.

And the third, the collective consciousness we all share in common, because we are in fact part of
the same species, the human species.

This should be the great message of this time, to transcend (Neptune) the limitations and
specificnesses of ethnic or cultural consciousness in order to realize the common thread that we
are all human beings. This is the ultimate message of Neptune's movement in Capricorn. To
transcend these limitations (Capricorn), the judgments therein, the insanity that follows.

(4-0.25.00) BASIC ANATOMICAL/PHYSIOLOGICAL/CHAKRA CORRELATIONS TO THE
PLANETS (see also "Uranus: Freedom From the Known" p. 75 - 91)

The reason to understand the chakra system, particularly with respect to medical diagnosis, is
that it has a whole different astrological scheme of correlation, different from the traditional
correlation of anatomy and physiology. It is a supplement or complement to that traditional
analysis. It will reveal on a diagnostic level, information that you could not otherwise be able to
determine in traditional methods of astro-medical diagnosis. Let us start with the traditional
correlations.

TRADITIONAL CORRELATIONS
SUN. The Sun correlates with your overall sense of constitutional strength or vitality. Specifically,
with the heart as an organ. Yesterday we said the ultimate function of health is a reflection of
inner radiance. Radiance here correlates with the Sun and the degree of constitutional strength
and vitality that one has. So the condition of the Sun in the birth chart is a primary indicator of
the overall constitutional strength or vitality of the entire organism. Example: if you have a T-
square to the Sun, you look at a constitutional system that does not have a high degree of
strength and vitality, because of the tremendous degree of electrical stress that is occurring
throughout the nervous system. It impacts on the sparking of the heart as it beats. For example,
it can correlate with high blood pressure, or in other cases low blood pressure. Further, the Sun
correlates to the right eye in the man and the left eye in the woman.

MOON specifically correlates with the lymphatic system. One of the primary functions of the
lymphatic system is to isolate and remove toxins. When you have a high degree of toxicity in
your system, it is not uncommon for the lymphatic system to swell. The Moon also correlates
with all the containers in the body, as the liver and the womb or uterus in the woman. The Moon
has a specific correlation to the left eye in the man, the right eye in the woman. To the levels and
quality of water throughout the system. To the condition of the stomach and the digestive
enzymes in that stomach, the level of acidity or alkalinity. Also to the hypothalamus, a very much
misunderstood gland in the body. The hypothalamus actually emits what are called chemical
messages that impact on the primary brain, which in turn impacts on the pituitary, which in turn
impacts on the pineal. There is a natural pyramid in consciousness, so to speak, between the
pineal, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary, and the revolution of energy there.

MERCURY has a connection to the nervous system in general, to the parasympathetic/

sympathetic nervous systems, to the motor nerves, and to the sheathing of the nerves. It has a
specific co-rulership with Uranus to the synapsal structure within the brain. Mercury has a direct

63
connection with the left brain, and, in general, the electrical functioning within the body. It has a
direct link to the hands and what is going on in the hands. Very few people know that there are
actual chakras in the hand. Mercury correlates to those chakras.

VENUS and MARS. Venus has a specific correlation to the ducts within the kidneys, and
therefore the capacity of the kidneys to detoxify the body. Venus has a direct connection to the
white blood cells, Mars to the red blood cells. Venus co-rules with Mars the adrenal glands. At
this level, Venus correlates to the secretion via the adrenals of cortisone, whereas Mars correlates
to adrenaline. In the female, the correlation is to progesterone and estrogen, Venus here
connecting to estrogen and Mars to progesterone. In the male, the direct connection is to the
production of testosterone, the male hormone. Males also have levels of estrogen. In fact, some
males, when they go into puberty, do not have the proper development of genitalia because of
excessive levels of estrogen. Venus also has a direct connection to the quality, the actual
integrity, of the arteries, capillaries and veins. For example, arteriosclerosis is commonly linked
with a stressed out Venus in the birth chart. Also phlebitis, and so on. In the female, Venus has
a linkage to the ovaries (co-ruled by the Moon there) because the ovaries also have a secondary
function in terms of regulating the levels of progesterone and estrogen.

MARS. From the blood point of view, Mars correlates with the necessary levels of iron in the
body. Iron is critical - energy. Mars has a specific correlation to the quantity of lactic acid that
can occur in the blood stream. The buildup of lactic acid is a direct reaction to the level of
adrenaline in the body. This is very important to understand because lactic acid, when it reaches
a certain level in the blood, will automatically create muscular inflammations throughout the
body. This becomes particularly problematic because when the muscles become inflamed in this
way, they simultaneously shut down the circulatory system. So, in this context, Mars has a
specific linkage to the muscles in the body and the quality of the muscles, even the toxicity of the
muscles. When there is, in fact, an excessive buildup of lactic acid, there is one specific remedy:
pantothenic acid (B5), 500 mg a day. Its specific action is to dissolve the lactic acid.

JUPITER has a specific co-rulership with Saturn to the pituitary gland. As, of course most of you
know, this is the master gland. It is essentially regulating the growth and decay throughout the
body. It is sort of analogous to the conductor in an orchestra. The Jupiter connection of the
pituitary is particular to the growth factor throughout the body. Jupiter also has a co-rulership
with Saturn to the thyroid, a very critical gland. Jupiter also has a specific connection to the
sciatic nerves, very important nerves beginning in the lower back, down the buttocks, and
becoming the primary nerve channel down the legs. Typically in cultures like this which are anal

64
retentive, there is a circulation problem in the lower extremities, which in turn impacts on the
functioning of the sciatic nerves. When this is occurring, it becomes the causal factor in all kinds
of possible conditions including phlebitis. Now there is one specific herb that is counteractive to
sciatica problems, wintergreen. Be careful in terms of dose, because it is very toxic.

Jupiter also has a specific correlation with the overall coordination of the body. Jupiter correlates
to the right brain, and to the assimilative function throughout the body. How we assimilate our
food. On a psychological or learning level, how we assimilate information. Jupiter also correlates
to the prostate and to the mineral levels of zinc and silica in the body.

SATURN specifically correlates with the skeleton, the skin, and the B and C cells emanating from
the bone marrow. Co-rulership to the pituitary and the thyroid. Correlates with the formation of
calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the body. Has a direct connection to the receptor cells.
Linked with growth, by the way. Has a specific correlation with the decay function of the body.
That which decays becomes crystallized. Can correlate with suspended physiological action in the
body, like a frozen intestine. Has a direct correlation with all forms of crystallization, for example
gall stones and arthritis. Arthritis of course is based on a lack of calcium, magnesium and
phosphorus. In woman it can also have a linkage to after menopause osteoporosis (brittleness of
the bones), although the specific cause is deficiency in estrogen, which is a Venus function. For
example, if you find Venus square Saturn in a woman's chart, you look at the probability of
osteoporosis after menopause. Antidote: licorice root, a natural estrogen. Saturn also correlates
with feces and the anal canal.

URANUS. Again, the co-rulership of the parasympathetic/sympathetic nerve systems, the overall
nervous system, the central nervous system. Correlates with the functioning of the involuntary
nervous systems. With all physiologic action that can be described as dehydrating. Direct
connection to the brain. It rules the brain in general, the synapsal structure therein. Uranus also
has a specific correlation to the lining of the lungs.

NEPTUNE has a direct correlation with the overall function of the immune system, for example,
the thymus. The thymus is the gland that is giving coding to the B and C cells emanating from
the bone marrow, in order to deal with immunity issues. Neptune has a direct link to the
endocrine system, to the pineal gland. Neptune also correlates with our feet. And with what is
called the etheric body, the astral body. For those who can see the etheric body, you know it is
having different color bands that can change. This is actually one of the best ways to make a
medical diagnosis.

65
A perfect example of the immunity issue is the following. With Neptune and Uranus now in
Capricorn, relative to Pluto in Scorpio, there is now a fundamental assault on the immune system
in 100% of the human organisms on earth at this time. How come? Uranus at one level
correlates with the atmosphere. With Uranus going through Capricorn, Capricorn correlating with
structure, we can see the rapid deterioration within the upper atmosphere of earth. By altering
the structure of the atmosphere, the very quality and nature of light that is entering the planet
has changed. The increase in levels of radiation (Pluto in Scorpio), combined with the changing
quality and nature of light directly impact on the pineal gland (which is part of the immune
system), which is then impacting on the levels of melatonin throughout the system, which is in
turn creating a depression within the immune system, Capricorn, a depressed immune system.
Which is also being caused through the alteration of the genetic code, relative to the increasing
levels of radiation that are entering the atmosphere, and that radiation being absorbed by the
thyroid gland. Is it any wonder that suddenly viruses like Aids manifest, or the next major
disease, tuberculosis, Uranus having a specific correlation to the lining of the lungs?

Q: - ? A: I am talking right now about Uranus and the lining of the lungs relative to Pluto, the
alteration and mutation relative to viruses and bacteria, relative to the depressed immune
system, Neptune. So what we now have is an alteration of the viruses and bacteria as they
attempt to sustain their own life forms. And now comes tuberculosis, that is simply shared
through casual contact. Tuberculosis is a reaction to the allopathic drugs as they came out in the
30's, 40's and 50's. Now it has reached the level of mutation, why it is now called multi-drug
resistant, Neptune in Capricorn relative to Pluto in Scorpio. An example of combining these
things: Uranus (lining of the lungs), and Moon (water formation in the body), this becomes a
causal factor in a condition like pleurisy. There are many variations, when you start combining.
PLUTO correlates to the RNA/DNA genetic coding. It has a specific relationship to the pancreas
and its capacity to secrete key digestive enzymes and insulin. It has a direct linkage, with
Jupiter, to the liver. Co-rulership with the Moon to the stomach and duodenum. Specific
rulership to the colon and the intestine and the peristaltic action therein. Direct connection to the
quality of the bacterial environment in the colon and the intestine. Direct relationship to the
appendix. Direct correlation to the various problems that can occur in the colon and the intestine,
such as colitis or abscess or ulceration (ulcerative colitis). To the elimination function of the body.
To all enzymes within the body (enzymes are one of the greatest secrets going on in that body).
Direct link to the Kundalini gland, which actually secretes a physiological substance that we can
call Kundalini. On a physiological basis, this gland is responsible for the evolution of the body.
And of course, the ultimate connection of Pluto to the Soul itself.

 CHAKRA CORRELATIONS (4-1.00.40)
(diagram from “Uranus: Freedom from the Known”, p. 81, by Jeffrey Wolf Green)

Now, when you combine the above

with the chakra system, you will
have a complete way of creating an
absolutely correct diagnosis. For
example, if you have a client with
all kinds of problems in their
stomach, and you are looking in
that chart, the nature of the Moon
and the planetary ruler of 4th etc.,
and there does not seem to be any
particular problem. But going to the
chakra system you suddenly find
the whole middle region of the body
correlates with Mars and Pluto, and
now if we re-look at that birth chart
and see Mars and Pluto in
opposition...! So basically this is a
support system to the other system.

Root chakra. Triple rulership,

three layers. The outer layer
correlates with Saturn, the middle
layer with Uranus, and the nucleus with Pluto. Now most people think somehow that the root
chakra and/or Kundalini is specifically linked with sexuality. This is a false thought. Kundalini
has no specific relationship to sexuality. What you have here is the situation where, because the
nucleus is Pluto, we correlate this with the specific action of Kundalini. However, the outer layer
of this chakra is Saturn, and that means the ignition of Kundalini is latent in most people. Why?
They are living, Saturn, in a consensus state, which in and of itself, psychologically speaking,
prohibits the ignition of Kundalini. So the Kundalini gland, which is just on the other side of this
chakra, remains latent or dormant, Saturn, in most. Now when that is the fact, this gland
remains locked, retentive. This chakra specifically then correlates to the quality and condition of
the lower extremities, the function of the nerves, the muscles, the circulation patterns, and also
the quality and function of the anal canal. For example, in cultures like this (Saturn being the
outer layer or ruler), people typically develop hemorrhoids. Now why does that occur? Because

67
there is not a free flow of movement of feces, and the person has to create internalized pressure
to eliminate, which becomes the causal factor in hemorrhoids. How does this connect to the idea
of Saturn? You see how this is working!

When the Soul decides to make a conscious act to evolve, that is to move away from the
consensus, right then and there, the middle layer, Uranus, is stimulated, meaning liberation from
the consensus. And on that basis, this chakra begins to quicken, Uranus, meaning it is beginning
to vibrate differently. This now becomes analogous to fissure lines in the crust of the earth. And
what is coming through these fissure lines? Possibly lava. Lava here correlates with Kundalini.
Meaning, as this chakra begins to quicken and vibrate differently, it is the quickening and
vibrational action that causes the Kundalini to be ignited.

And when Kundalini is ignited, it can create any manner of physical symptoms that cannot be
diagnosed by any allopathic doctor. Why? The initial intention of Kundalini is to penetrate (Pluto)
to the nucleus of any cell that needs to be either healed or alchemically changed. In the context
of purging toxins, for example, from the nucleus of the cell, relative to Kundalini, the typical
symptomology is either feeling intense heat in that area, or intense cold, for no apparent reason.
In extreme cases it will create transitory paralysis in those areas. Kundalini is a remarkable
physiological substance. (The sound emanating from the root chakra is like a bumblebee.)

Sacral chakra. T his chakra correlates to all the nerves that emanate from it that regulate and
control the functioning of the genital area. This is why people confuse Kundalini with sexual
energy. Why? When Kundalini is ignited, it will then begin to move up right in the middle of the
spine - there is an open channel called the sushumna - into the next chakra (1 inch above it), the
sacral. So imagine you suddenly now have this ignition of Kundalini, which is an intense energy,
intense pressure, intense heat, now impacting on the nerves that correlate with the functioning of
the genital region. So people think Kundalini must be linked with sexuality here, and it is not.

What it is trying to do is metamorphosize this chakra, meaning evolving the chakra away from
this base sexuality to sexual energy used in a Tantric sense to evolve consciousness. That is the
intention. If you look at the rulerships here, Neptune and Jupiter, keeping in mind that
everything ultimately is occurring through the root chakra which starts with this Saturn, do you
now find it any wonder in the context of times like this relative to sexuality, that we now have
(Neptune and Jupiter) the incredible glamorization of sexuality, as reflected in your Hollywood
movies, your pornographic bullshit, your Playboys and Playgirls? This is what Saturn is doing with
this sacral chakra, relative to consensus culture, relative to an anal retentive society. Anything
that is repressed becomes distorted. What this chakra is trying to teach is the spiritual use of

68
sexual energy. And that is to redefine, Saturn, Jupiter, our beliefs about the nature of sexual
energy.

This can also then show you, through chakra system analysis, the overall health and functioning
of the genital area in the man and the woman. For example, Neptune, it can correlate with
abnormal sexual fear. If that is the case, coming back through Saturn, you can have frigidity or
impotency. If you have a person who has overly glamorized sexual things through imagery,
Neptune… I mean, what is the nature of pornographic movies or Playboy or Playgirl? It is
imagery that excites the consciousness in this way. It can lead in men to the pre-ejaculation
syndrome, through the excitement of imagery. It can create a situation where that person X can
try to make person Z be a function of the imagery, "Well, put this on!" Now the question
becomes, is that person making love with the person, or the imagery that they are trying to make
them be? Neptune here illustrates there is a generalized collective confusion about what sexual
energy actually is.

Q - ? A: The prostate is specific to the sacral chakra. The health of the prostate is dependent on
the amount of silica and zinc in the system. Since zinc is water soluble, it is almost completely
washed out of all vegetables during the processing, which is why so many men in cultures like
this have prostate inflammation. It is a zinc problem. It is as simple as a zinc deficiency. So,
zinc supplements, silicon supplement and dry roasted pumpkin seeds.

The sound emanating from the sacral chakra is like a flute.

NAVEL chakra, connecting to Mars and Pluto. This correlates with the chakra in which the nerves
that emanate from it regulate the functioning of the middle region of the body. This includes
stomach, duodenum, kidneys, and so on. Psychologically speaking, it correlates with the function
of will, personal will, other will of an external nature, and higher will of the God nature. It
correlates with the nature of the desire system as reflected through the chakra system. If you
look at it this way, the center of gravity in most people is right here. This is why, when you begin
to meditate, the root and sacral chakras begin to vibrate and operate in a different way. Relative
to Saturn, Neptune, the center of gravity finally shifts from navel to crown. In the context of
meditation, the classic experience that you will have when this occurs (that is in the meditational
state, when that shift is occurring) is that you feel that you are in the center of an earthquake.
And all it is, is the density within the molecules becoming lighter.

So in the end it is really the collision of will. Are you going to conform to higher will and allow
that to direct you, or are you simply asserting your egocentric will? And if you are doing that,

69
how is that going to create a potential environmental conflict with other people's need to assert
their will?

Q - ? A: Yesterday we said in the very beginning, on the inherent relationship between Scorpio
and Aries (natural inconjunct, Pluto/Mars), how this correlates to the original anxiety of
separation from the womb. That is why it is here. Navel chakra, ruled by Mars and Pluto. And is
not a baby born with an umbilical cord? Where is that umbilical cord emanating from, and what
is it connected to? It is the life support system. A nd what happens when that is snapped?

The sound emanating from the navel chakra: harp or string instrument.

HEART chakra (Venus). Nerves emanating from here correlate with the lungs, the heart, and the
functioning of this area of the body (chest), such as breathing. The heart is correlating with all
issues that correlate with the nature of your emotions, your likes, your dislikes, the nature of
love, your ability to give and receive love, the capacity to like yourself. Sound emanating: big
church bell.

THROAT chakra (Mercury): nerves emanating from here correlate with the throat, the larynx, the
thymus. It has an oblique linkage to the hypothalamus, relative to Mercury, i.e. chemical
messages. Connection to the tonsils. Although the tonsils are actually part of the immune
system, there is a linkage here, regulatorally speaking, through the chakra. This chakra also
correlates with the function of communication, how we are communicating. Sound: conch shell.

MEDULLA-AJNA chakra. This is a bi-polar chakra. Most people who have meditated have heard
of the third eye. When you perceive the third eye, you of course perceive it here (forehead, low).
But very few people realize that what is perceived here is in fact a projection of the medulla.
Remember, we made the analogy of ego and Moon, lens and projector. The third eye actually is
inherent to the medulla, but it is then projected and perceived upon the screen right here
(forehead). And the medulla-ajna connects to the hypothalamus, this whole region in the back of
the skull, the brain stem, the primary brain. The primary brain itself has a co-rulership of Moon
and Mars. Very few people realize that consciousness emanates from the brain stem. Now the
ajna itself is a chakra that exists right here (forehead, high). Now you know why in all kinds of
metaphysical material the eyes have been considered the windows of the Soul. Medulla correlates
with Moon, ajna with Sun. From this chakra system point of view, there is a direct linkage to the
function of the optic nerves, the very nature and quality of what is going on in the eyes, the
functioning of the eyes. Example: if you have too much water buildup (Moon) behind your eyes,

70
you will get glaucoma. It is having a direct relationship to the sinuses (below eyes). These
sinuses are very critical. One of the ways the body eliminates toxins is through the formation of
mucus. Mucus is Moon. Sound: Om.

CROWN chakra (Neptune). By the time you are consciously in your crown chakra (top of head),
you have left the body. So when you actually exit this life, last breath, you exit through the
crown.

NODES: North node correlates with the parasympathetic nervous system, South node with the
sympathetic nervous system.

For hearing chakra sounds, practice Laya Yoga (method of self-healing). Medical diagnosis: if you
use the chakra point of view in relationship with traditional analysis, you can make incredibly
comprehensive and accurate diagnoses.

Q: - ? A: The chakra system functions through natural polarity. For example, the polarity of the
root chakra is the navel chakra, of the sacral chakra it is the heart chakra, etc. And there are
linkages when you start seeing aspects. Say Mercury square Saturn. What is here the implied
stress? Between throat chakra and root chakra. And how is this going to impact on its
functioning? When you have a Mercury-Saturn square natally, you are looking at a person who in
evolutionary and karmic terms is trying to establish their own authority through their own
intellectual constructions. But typically in that square they have been exposed either to society or
authoritarian types who have told them what to think. And this is creating the inner dialog of
stress. So what is then becoming the impact on the throat chakra and the root chakra, i.e. the
nerves emanating from them, based on that psychology?

The system described (minus the outer planets) is a traditional system coming from India; the
outer planet correlations are mine.

72
 THE EIGHT PRIMARY PHASES AND THE ASPECTS THEREIN (4-1.48.00)
From the point of view of evolution, obviously from zero to 360 degrees, the Eight Primary Phases
are reflecting the principle of evolution or progression. To determine the planetary phase that
exists between any two planets, you simply use the slower moving of the two planets in
consideration as your start point, your baseline, and in a counter-clockwise direction count the
degrees of separation that exist between them. The degree of the separation will determine the
phase. The only time this rule does not apply is when you are utilizing the Sun. The Sun, of
course, is the center of our solar system, so the Sun is always the baseline when you determine a
planetary phase relative to the Sun.

NEW PHASE (0 - 45°). In evolutionary terms the New phase specifically correlates to a brand
new evolutionary cycle that is beginning or underway. Something new is occurring in
evolutionary terms. This infers that something had come before. Any time you use the word
"new", it implies "old", something that came before. What came before was the culmination of an
entire cycle, demonstrated in the Balsamic phase, the completion of an entire cycle. Now
something new in evolutionary terms is beginning to happen, a brand new impulse.

CONJUNCTION (0°). In the New phase this new impulse at the point of the conjunction operates
in an entirely instinctual way, like Aries. Any two planets in a New conjunction operate
instinctually. That is, without forethought. For example, in my own case I happen to have
Mercury/Jupiter in a New conjunction with only 6° orb. How does it work in my life? I showed up
in this class with a plan, an outline on paper. Did I conform to it? No! Meaning, in a very
spontaneous and instinctual way, it simply is occurring. When I speak, I do not have forethought
in my brain, or preconception. It simply occurs. When I write books, it simply occurs
spontaneously and in the moment, much to my own surprise. Think about the symbolism:
Jupiter/Mercury, right/left brain. If I tried to force a plan on myself (because Mercury also
happens to have a First Quarter square to Saturn (12.5°) and to Pluto (8°) ), if I tried to do a
Saturnian plan as in my outline, it would not happen. You see, this is how you measure evolution
at different rates. The key word or archetype in the First Quarter phase is "crisis in action",
meaning, what do I do? So the Saturn/Mercury in my case goes “what do I do?“

Now a New phase is operating instinctually. It is energy moving out from the center. Because it
is instinctual and new like Aries, it requires fundamental freedom to create any experience
necessary in order to actualize and find out that which is new. It is a perpetual state of
unfoldment or discovery in this phase. At the New conjunction, it is random and sporadic action,
unfocused and undefined.

73
If we go back to the forethought that everything in our universe operates through polarity, what
is called counterpoint learning, the polarity phase to the New phase is the Full phase. Now the
temptation in the New phase, because everything is unformed and in a perpetual process of
discovery, is then to compare, through contrast and comparison, oneself at this level or phase to
people at that level or phase, where things are tremendously formed, well thought out, and
structured. And the temptation is not to fulfill the archetypal intention in the phase (perpetual
becoming at an absolutely free level), but to adopt the realities that those people symbolize. In
effect, to become something that you are not. Why? Because you don't know yet what you are!
How many people do you think feel comfortable living in a state of unknowingness? How many
lecturers, like myself, do you think can be comfortable walking into a situation like this with no
plan? Allowing the spontaneity of the moment to dictate what occurs? Not many lecturers are
comfortable doing such a thing. And so, in this phase the temptation, through contrast and
comparison, is to do Full phase stuff.

And so, when you start counseling people from an evolutionary point of view, you want to always
validate for them that this is an inherent and natural process, i.e. that any two planets in this
phase are meant to operate this way. And you simply tell the client “Stop comparing yourself to
how other people are doing whatever it is that you are trying to do, and simply do it in your own
way on a moment to moment spontaneous basis.” Many clients will heave a deep sigh of relief.

SEMI-SEXTILE (30°). By the time you reach this first aspect after the conjunction, at this point,
because we are now talking about progressive evolution here, the intention is to begin to slow
down this unfocused action. The semi-sextile (implying something has come before, meaning
awareness has already been occurring relative to 0 - 30°) is now trying to eliminate unnecessary
experience of unnecessary action. Moving from pure randomness to the beginning of specific and
focused action. The semi-sextile in this phase is actually a psychological irritant. The Soul
already has some memory, before this life, of having absolute freedom to go and do whatever,
unrestricted, unconstrained. And now suddenly comes up the point in time. Uh oh, semi-sextile.
It is like taking a wild stallion and suddenly beginning the process of breaking that stallion.
Trying to put a saddle on it, etc. And instead of just letting it run free on the high chaparral, now
we are preparing to put a rider on the saddle to direct the direction. Semi-sextile.

Q: In your own case of Mercury/Jupiter, how would you be if that were semi-sextile?
A: By the time the Mercury/Jupiter hit a semi-sextile, we have already become aware of new
thought-forms, new thinking patterns, new belief structures (equaling how we are interpreting
and giving meaning to life), prior to this life. Whereas in the conjunction it is a brand new

74
process, perpetual discovery, in which the intuitive action of seeding the left brain functions
spontaneously all the time. By the time you hit the semi-sextile, this is now being formed, just
beginning formation. The formation of an intellectual or belief system structure that is starting to
serve as a baseline to which all kinds of new information can now be referred.

Q: With Mercury/Jupiter semi-sextile, how would you be different as a lecturer?

A: I would conform to the outline.

Q: But you would not like it!

A: That is the constraint of the semi-sextile.

Q: But you still have your intuition...

A: Absolutely. I might conform to the outline, but within that outline all kinds of new thought
would occur, because of the outline. For me, I have to throw out the outline for the new thought
to occur. If I tried to restrict myself to the outline, everything would stop.

Q: (about a Balsamic conjunction)

A: Balsamic conjunction is an absolute completion of the cycle. When a Soul is in that state of
absolute completion, it is already receiving the seeds in this life of that new pattern. And this
creates its own kind of frustration. It has to complete that cycle, and yet it is already rearing to
go into the new cycle.

SEMI-SQUARE (45°). This is a really dynamic aspect, because it is a transitional aspect from one
phase to the other phase. So here again you can have two kinds of semi-squares, a New phase
semi-square and a Crescent phase semi-square.

CRESCENT PHASE (45 - 90°). Energy moving back towards the center, yin. Between o° and
45°, you have had all kinds of new energy, all kinds of new development, all kinds of new form,
unrestricted freedom, leading to a partial constraint on that freedom. And now, by the time you
go into the Crescent phase, it is time to fundamentally slow down, to internalize, to consolidate
(like Taurus), and then to begin the process of establishing these new forms into actual living
reality, to plant them.

So the original impulse here is in the New phase SEMI-SQUARE. And this creates a state of
dynamic psychological stress in consciousness. On the one hand the stress says “I still want my
freedom!” That is creating a cycle in which the person goes out into this New phase type
behavior. But that leads to the next cycle, in which the person completely and totally shuts

75
down, isolates and withdraws. And, in that semi-square, with no predictability. None
whatsoever. And so, because you have orb in these kinds of aspects, what this is called then is
an evolutionary gate that will progressively lead into the Crescent phase. Actually, in the Crescent
phase the semi-square operates as a psychological archetype equaling almost absolute
withdrawal from social interaction. So the intention in the aspect is to slow everything down and
to internalize it, to make it concrete and real within the person's actual consciousness at an
interior or internalized level. In effect, to own it. Going back to the example of Mercury/Jupiter in
a New phase in my reality, I do not own any of these ideas. They just occur. They are available
to all. But if you got that Mercury/Jupiter at this gate state, this evolutionary gate, the ego now
starts identifying. “These are my ideas.” There wants to be a possession or ownership factor
there. There is an absolute linkage to the egocentric identity of self at this level.

In all these initial phases we are talking about something that is occurring at an utterly subjective
level. There is something new within the Soul in evolutionary terms. It is subjective. So this
semi-square aspect begins this process into the Crescent phase.

SEPTILE (51°). A very effective aspect that is underrated. In many books it is associated with
fate, without telling you why. The answer in evolutionary terms is that this aspect serves to
center the person back to the original purpose demonstrated at the New conjunction. Meaning
that at key points in the person's journey, the Soul will actually program key events and/or
people that manifest at critical junctures in the life, that serve the person in the sense of keeping
them aligned with the original purpose.

The temptation in this phase, through polarity, is Disseminating. The Disseminating phase is the
totality of consensus reality, how most people are doing whatever. And what we are talking about
here is a unique and original individual impulse, a new evolutionary something.

So, as an example, if you have Mercury/Jupiter at this station, the temptation would be to borrow
upon the intellectual philosophical framework of other people in the social system. Why? This is
not totally formed yet. It is still in a process of forming. As an example, a lawyer who has
Mercury/Jupiter in this aspect wanting to make a super defense for a client, and wanting to create
a very unique or original defense. Yet because his Mercury/Jupiter function is not yet completely
formed, the temptation would probably be to use some research into other defense attorneys,
either in the existing society or from some other time, looking at the language they used to
support the defense. The temptation would be to borrow that language. And so what this aspect
does, via fate, is that it keeps the person aligned with that original purpose, when there is any
sense of straying from what that purpose was about.

This is really a neat aspect! And the Soul actually programs this thing. Any two planets that you

76
have in this aspect, there you will see the element of fate in your life. It is like when you approach
the famous "Y" in the road. You can go either direction. At that moment, fate occurs to keep you
in the right direction.

SEXTILE (60°). The sextile in this phase, in my point of view, is actually a problematic aspect.
The reason is that it tends to emphasize the psychology of laziness, or getting by on minimal
effort. So when you contrast this to the temptation of the Disseminating phase, relative to "all
too easy to be lazy", the temptation to borrow upon the Disseminating is very large. It is easy to
do, and then trying to call that your own. And it is not! So the sextile implies no stress (being
half of 120°, non-stress), and therefore it can be very easy. The key word within the Crescent
phase is self-effort. The first key word is to establish, but to establish requires self-effort. So one
of the counseling words or sentences that you want to use when you find this situation, if the
person is copping out on himself ("oh, it is too hard to do, I can't do it, it is too much effort, etc.”)
is, “look, the value is in the effort, not necessarily the outcome!”

The problem in the Disseminating phase is that it creates a psychology of the awareness of
outcomes, the results of effort. And what you have to align the person with is the psychology of
this phase, the value is in the effort. If they can re-orientate to themselves in this way, then it
can also be, on an integrated factor, easy to begin to assimilate and understand what these new
forms are, even though they are not completely developed yet. It is like a seed that does now
come out of the ground. There is the beginning of a stalk, but there is yet no leaves or flower.

Q: In general, are phases between a planet and an angle also relevant?

A: You can consider angles. I mean angles have their own archetypal meaning, don't they? So a
planet in aspect to an angle means what? That this planet in some way is trying to ... It has a
direct linkage to how that angle has been actualized or achieved. If you've got Mars square your
Ascendant - the Ascendant is what? The instinct to separate from everyone else in order to find
out who I am as an individual. Mars squaring that Ascendant is giving you a whole lot of energy.

Q: In this case, what is the reference point?

A: Always the planet, because it is moving slower than the Ascendant.

QUINTILE (72°). Another interesting aspect. Its real archetype is called creative transformation.
Now what that means is that the quintile aspect has the capacity to not only creatively transform
the original impulse demonstrated at the New conjunction, but also to now make it incredibly
individualistic, relative to the Crescent phase. "This is me. And unique and individual about me".
The quintile has the capacity to take existing systems, relative to the disseminating phase, and
creatively transform them to make them individualistic relative to the individual's purpose.

77
Example, the relationship between Freud and Jung. Jung had a "star chart", a five-pointed star,
which is in fact the symbol for the quintile, and he took Freudian stuff and made it Jungian stuff.

So the quintile aspect has this real capacity to creatively transform and make highly unique the
original impulse of the conjunction. To do this there has to be deep internalization and necessary
withdrawal from the consensus, and necessary isolation, in order for that creativity to occur.

Q: - ? A: Yes, the temptation is always in the polarity phase! If we took a survey of the world
population, how many souls would you actually feel being in absolute harmony with their
evolutionary intentions at an archetypal level? Maybe 3 – 5%. Which is exactly why you read in
all your spiritual and metaphysical books, countless lifetimes! Why? Most souls just do a minimal
amount of work on the existing evolutionary intentions. People tend to be, via Taurus, quite lazy.
And this is why we keep going around and around...

SQUARE (90°). Again, a transitional aspect, moving from Crescent to First Quarter.

FIRST QUARTER PHASE (90 – 135°). Yang. Energy moving out from the center. By the time
you hit the Crescent square, this means relative to the original impulse, the new forms that had
been evolving from conjunction to semi-sextile to semi-square, to Septile, sextile and quintile,
have now achieved a degree of individualized form. They are now developed.

The intention at the First Quarter is now to take all these new forms and begin the process of
putting them progressively into external reality - energy moving from the center. But the
Crescent square is there for one reason. Take the example of a potter, who is doing all the
maneuvers with his hands. Final sculpturing of the form, making it complete, putting the glaze
on it, the signature, the final insignia. This has been the intention in the Crescent square, and
this creates its own psychological irritant to the individual. Why? It is now like a horse that has
got that bridle on it and yet it just wants to run. And the person controlling the horse is still
restraining it. The horse is not happy. It wants to be turned loose, but is being restrained in this
square purposely. What you have in the semi-square is cyclic alteration of behavior.

Now we find a person cyclically trying to rush out, rush ahead, and then withdrawing. The
withdrawing is caused by what? Not only the intention of the phase, but the First Quarter phase
archetypally within it has two inherent fears. The fear of failure, and the fear that, if it would
begin to move out into the world with these new forms, somehow, via the Last Quarter phase, the
social sphere is going to absorb that individual. And thus the individuality would be lost.

78
So there is a fear of being absorbed by the consensus and losing that hard-won (from New and
Crescent) individuality. So by the time it moves to the First Quarter, the functioning archetype,
according to Rudhyar, is called Crisis in Action.

Now that I have all this new stuff in me, it has been honed and developed, shaped in form, crisis
in action, what do I do with it? A perfect example. When these Pluto ideas, the Pluto book, was
first seeded to me in a dream, my question (because my Sun/Moon is in a First Quarter square,
i.e. creative self actualization) was “what do I do with this?” So the First Quarter has this crisis in
action syndrome. You know, when you have the simultaneous fear of being absorbed back into
the consensus, i.e. losing the individuality.

That creates a psychological crisis, based on the question “what specific form do I now actualize
myself through?” For example, if the person feels to have all kinds of original creativity, all kinds
of inner inspiration, all kinds of new thoughts that are now formed, what specific form do I choose
to express these through? Is it going to be a writer, a lecturer, a teacher, etc.? This phase
creates a diversity of possible choices, and the crisis is what? What potential choice, of a diversity
of choices, best reflects that individual purpose at the New conjunction?

So this is a very important evolutionary gate. Until this gate is actualized in the way it is
intended, this gate is sustained. That is why it is a square - creative stress, the dynamic of
stress, the psychology of stress. And now the stress is based on the archetypes that lie within it.
And until this is worked through, the progression stops.

BI-SEPTILE (102°). We said earlier that the original septile was an aspect of fate. It is keeping
the person on line with the original intention at the New conjunction. So, relative to possible
choices and potential directions and potential form, the septile does what? It re-aligns the person
with the original purpose, relative to the specific form, if the person has strayed from the right
form. So at key points, again, this aspect operates through the dynamic we call fate. Key people
will again manifest, specific circumstances will occur, to keep the person now aligned or re-
aligned. This aspect serves to keep the Soul back in alignment with the original purpose of the
most individualistic application possible, and at key points the fate aspect occurs. (Interesting
example regarding Yogananda/Kriyananda, tape 5-0.35.30)

TRINE (120°). The trine in this particular phase is an incredibly powerful and very positive
archetypal aspect. Why? It is an integration aspect. The person at this point is now able to
easily and gracefully integrate, make real and establish, all the original intention at the New
conjunction. There is no stress whatsoever. And the person now serves, on a vibrational level, as

79
example to other people of how to individuate. Whatever two planets you have in this First
Quarter trine will be the most highly individualistic (in a well-formed sense) aspect of your nature.
The person will naturally vibrate in an individualistic way and on a vibrational, attractional basis.
Many people are attracted to this person. Why? Because this aspect is beginning the preparation
for the rest of the cycle. Meaning, progressively the person now has to open up to social
interaction, social integration, and dissemination of the original purpose, to give and to share.
And this aspect starts the process.

SESQUIQUADRATE (135°). (short: sesqui-square). Here you have again a whole bunch of
dynamic stress and tension. Here again an evolutionary gate.

GIBBOUS PHASE. Yin: energy turning back to the center. Why? Yesterday we described the
difference between Leo and Virgo. The trine aspect in the First Quarter is quite Leonian. As we
move to the sesquiquadrate in the First Quarter, the egocentric structure of consciousness, which
is now full of itself relative to the original impulse, now has to be humiliated. There has to be an
inner adjustment within the egocentric structure. So what happens? In the First Quarter
sesquiquadrate, the individual is now experiencing an intense blockage from the environment,
being stymied. The intention of experiencing this blockage is to minimize or eliminate dominant
or willful expression of the original purpose. Like the person arriving on the stage of life and
going, "Here I am!" And this aspect says, "So what?" And when the environment says "So
what?", this then enforces the consciousness to analyze "Why is this happening?" And once it
begins to ask this sort of question, it begins to analyze reasons for the blockage. This analysis is
generating self-knowledge, because of the nature of analysis, which is now serving to adjust or
re-align the ego to prepare to enter the world of social other. As a Leonian "Here I am!", in this
way, not at all!

This kind of aspect can be so strong that it actually starts to create doubt within the
consciousness. The person is not now so sure anymore. The person is starting to question them
self to the point where all of a sudden the psychology is "Well, maybe I am not ready. Maybe
there is something else I have to learn or become." It's the opposite of feeling full of oneself.
Something is lacking here. And that kind of humiliation is necessary, because it is preparing, as
the transference from Leo to Libra via Virgo, to enter the world as a social equal. Not inferior, not
superior. This is a very intense aspect, again underestimated by most astrologers

Q: - ? A: Yes, because in that aspect you will actually attract stronger and more willful people
than yourself, making you feel overwhelmed.

80
The sesquiquadrate is a key evolutionary gate. By the time we evolve into the GIBBOUS phase
itself, the functioning archetype here is analysis. Here the energy is returning to the center, yin.
And so what now has to happen is that the consciousness has to invert itself, internalize, at a very
mental level. This a very mental phase. It is emphasizing the left brain, the essence of which is
critical self-analysis. Here again archetypally the Soul is experiencing humiliation. Humiliation is
experienced as feeling blocked by the external environment and/or feeling blocked from within
oneself. Why? In this phase, the person, the Soul, feels very small, just the opposite of Leo. The
polarity phase here is Balsamic, i.e. that what is from on high, the spirit, the universal, God.
Sources of power that seem larger than the individual ego itself. The Balsamic phase is
completion or perfection. Through polarity, in the Gibbous it creates the awareness of
imperfection, that which is not perfect. And as a result, the Soul now can feel in a delusive sense
not ready to do what the original purpose dictates to be done. And as a result, one of the
psychologies in this phase is excuse making, which will always sound like rational reasons why
the person is not going to do what they should do when they should do it.

The temptation here is to compare oneself to people who seem more perfect, more well formed,
more complete than oneself, which reinforces the psychology of inferiority. But in a way this is
necessary, because it is the transition from superiority/inferiority leading to social equality in the
Full phase. The preparation in the Gibbous phase archetypally is to begin the initial preparation
of disseminating the original purpose into the social sphere. To have it disseminated or received
by the social sphere, the consciousness has to become aware of what the needs are within that
social sphere, how it can be integrated within the social sphere in such a way that the social
sphere will in fact integrate it instead of reject it. So it creates a hyper-awareness of other in this
phase. This becomes incredibly emphasized at the inconjunct aspect, but first we have the

BI-QUINTILE (144°). What is the functioning of the Bi-quintile? It is still going to carry the
archetypal intention or signature of the original quintile. And we said earlier that the original
quintile is creative transformation, the individualization of the original intention at the New
conjunction. The actual action of this Gibbous bi-quintile is to learn how to gracefully receive
constructive criticism from other people. Its nature is to adjust the individual ego in terms of how
to actualize and apply that original purpose, relative to what others or the social system needs.
So the bi-quintile will operate in this way, creating people that have constructive criticism. The
problem in this phase is interpreting that criticism as negativity, as wrong judgment, and feeling
persecuted, unduly criticized. But external criticism here is necessary to the ego. It cannot
operate as a willful thing on the stage of life, "Here I am!"

81
How many of you in your life have learned to gracefully receive, in a positive attitude, criticism?
Most people do not react in a positive way to criticism. You have to keep in mind what has
preceded all this (preceding phases and stations), which is purposeful egocentric development,
willfully so. And now suddenly that is being exposed to the world of criticism from other people!

INCONJUNCT (150°). The inconjunct is not arrived at until the bi-quintile has positively been
responded to, because the inconjunct is purposeful self inner criticism. By learning to gracefully
receive external criticism, by the time we evolve to the inconjunct, this is now manifesting as
deep inner criticism, in which the person is now purposely analyzing from within them self what
they need to be working on to make them self a more perfect or pure vehicle through which that
purpose can assert itself. And so the inconjunct aspect here is inner excuse making, never feeling
ready. It is phenomenal how it operates. I know it. When I had to write the Pluto book; this
dream first came in 1976, but I did not write the book until 1986. Why? I have Uranus
inconjunct Mercury, and boy, was I good at making excuses! Never felt ready, never felt good
enough. My excuse was I do not have enough money to take time off for it, etc. Quite rational,
quite practical. Who could dispute this? And suddenly one day, when transiting Jupiter at that
time first hit my second house cusp, then this woman manifested in my life. "How much do you
need to take time off to write the thing?" I told her the amount, and here it was! No strings
attached. Write your book! So now I had no more excuses.

You see, this is also how the inconjunct works. Because now I was in a crisis mode. I had to
have it written in two months, that was all I had the money for. And that book was written in
sixty days. And it came from on high. It was not the ego writing. I literally watched it happen,
and it was not channeling or so.

Q: - ? A: No, I did not feel worthy. These ideas were not a function of left brain thinking. They
occurred in a dream, in Sanskrit. In fact, at that point in my life I had never even thought about
Pluto. Like everyone else, it is just some generational thing. This is how inconjuncts work!

So, as we move further into this Gibbous phase, one of the structures within this archetype in our
time, as we said yesterday, is the assignment of correct work function. Work function implies
socialization, giving back to. So the Gibbous phase, at some point has, relative to the original
intention, to figure out the work form through which that original purpose can be expressed.
Using my own example, I have Uranus in Gemini in the 8th inconjuncting this Mercury in Scorpio.
So what am I writing on? The evolution of the Soul. And that is my work function, to write.

82
FULL PHASE vs GIBBOUS PHASE. If we move further in the phase, we finally reach the
OPPOSITION (180°) in the Gibbous phase. Just think of the nature of this word. Words
describe phenomena. The word is opposition (opposition from 180 to 0°). What is the nature of
this inner opposition? On the one hand, we have the original impulse of individuality and willful
egocentric development at a subjective level. And now we have this archetype, needing to now
integrate that ego within the social sphere as an equal, with a work function intact, in which the
person must now listen to what other people are telling it that they need, in order for that work
function assigned here (Gibbous) to be integrated. So what is the deal here? The person feels an
inner opposition of what?

What do you think is the actual experience of being in a Gibbous opposition versus the Full
opposition? In the Gibbous opposition, keeping in mind the core issue here is inner analysis
leading to egocentric humility, what this is going to attract are people that have very powerful
voices, that override, overwhelm the voice of the individual. This is very different from the Full
opposition. Now the person is trying to overwhelm the voices of other people.

Q: - ? A: Yes, because now in this Full opposition they are impregnated with their vision at a
social level, and they want to willfully assert it. To in effect be in a state of opposition to the
social sphere. “I am here again!” This is a yang phase.

Q: - ? A: Yes. Because the polarity now is the New conjunction. And so, suddenly there is a
remembrance of this willful assertion and development of the egocentric self (New phase). And
by the time it comes to this Full phase, you have the interaction between the Gibbous and the
First Quarter also, meaning in Gibbous we had inferiority, in First Quarter we had superiority.
Remember that the Full phase is extremes. Relative to the opposition (New conjunction), by the
time you hit this 180° aspect, you have one cycle in which the person is trying to willfully assert
himself in a Leonian kind of extremity. This creates opposition from the environment [Jeffrey
indicating New conjunction] which then returns the person back to the Gibbous kind of
psychology, where they are now feeling overwhelmed. And back and forth we go with this kind of
rhythmic opposition. To the extent that the person feels overwhelmed by the wills of other
people, it enforces Gibbous and there is a tendency now to withdraw. Then they get pissed off in
the withdrawal and they tend to re-assert them self into the social sphere, through the extremity
of the Leo archetype. And until a state of balance is integrated or achieved, it keeps going back
in this kind of rhythm.

Q: - ? A: Yes. Because part of the Leonian requirement (First Quarter) again is positive
feedback, “Somebody tell me how wonderful I am!” And in this Full phase, everybody is resisting

83
you. Example, my own case. I have Mars/Uranus in Gibbous opposition, and when this Pluto
material first came out, from the point of view of the existing consensus in the astrology world,
guess what? “This is heretical, blasphemous!” The typical feedback to the opposition. "Who does
this guy think he is? How can he say these things?" All projected out their own egos. Nobody
took the time to even ask the question, "How did these ideas come to pass?" There was an
immediate assumption, which serves as the nature of the opposition.

Q: How do you know that? A: Because I have counseled over 15,000 people, and the essence of
astrology is correlation and observation!

(About the Pluto book: it is now in ten languages, approximately 500,000 copies sold. It is even
in Zimbabwe, in Swaziland. To receive a letter from somebody in the Outback saying "This is the
book I have been waiting for my whole life", that's all I need to hear, it is worth the effort. I don't
care what astrologers think, or organizations think. I care what the person out in the Outback is
connected to. That's the point of it. That was God's intention for the book. And with
Mercury/Jupiter in the New phase, I don't own any of it. Here it is, take it or leave it. Scorpio...)

Q: In general, what do you mean by "original intent"?

A: To determine the phase itself, you go back to your original reference point. Whatever that
reference point is, planet, house, sign, that is the original intent!

FULL PHASE. (180 - 225°). Now we have moved into the Full phase. The real key in the Full
phase is truly learning how to listen to what other people are telling you, and to be open to what
they are telling you. In the Full phase, the Soul creates key people who have key messages that
will help you integrate that original purpose, relative to the social sphere. The additional key in
the Full phase, keeping in mind the polarity (again, we are dealing with the potentiality of
extremity here), is to stay in a state of balance, psychological balance, in a Full phase condition.
It is remembering or learning how to honor the inner rhythm, the emotional psychological rhythm
within oneself, that on one side says "Yes, it is now time to go out and socially interact", and on
the other side "It is now time to withdraw".

And that rhythm will never be constant. And if the person can harmonize, Full phase, with that
rhythm as it occurs, the person will be in a state of perpetual integration and balance. The
temptation in the phase is to do too much of each. Getting into a cycle of too much social
interaction, which creates the rubber band effect, leading to too much withdrawal. And in this
wild fluctuation it is almost a schizophrenic-like action.

84
Q: - ? A: On an archetypal level, you have got always the 1st house balance against the 7th
house, whether there are planets there or not. The most common way we all know this
experience is in our intimate relationships. Everybody on earth in their intimate relationships has
an instinct to withdraw from that relationship from time to time. To be free, to be independent,
to do something for them self. The biggest danger in any intimate relationship is excessive
proximity. Excessive proximity leads to emotional psychological distortion, which then leads into
extremity, which then leads into projections. One of the causative factors in this is too much
proximity and/or too much dependency, projected dependency.

INCONJUNCT (210° - Full). This is an entirely different archetype than the inconjunct in the
Gibbous phase. The Gibbous inconjunct has more or less the Virgo archetype within it, and that
was the aspect that generated a lot of inner self-criticism, and necessarily so, creating a sense of
inferiority, not feeling ready, not feeling good enough, not feeling perfect enough, with respect to
implementation of the original purpose demonstrated at the New conjunction. Now, the Full
inconjunct has more of the archetype of Scorpio. The Soul in this aspect is literally full of its own
power with respect to the original intention demonstrated at the New conjunction. The Soul
wants to implement, act upon, that original intention in the social sphere. In a Scorpio sense it is
full of itself. It has a true inner sense of power. And within the sense of power, it has a sense of
a special destiny, something out of the ordinary, to achieve and actualize. So wherein lies, then,
the intention of the Full inconjunction? The secret lies right within the archetype itself, Scorpio.
This cannot be asserted or expressed as a willful Scorpionic-like presentation to the social sphere.
If it is, the inconjunct is going to generate a tremendous degree of social persecution and
criticism, absolute blockage, in which the will of other people are perceived to be much more
powerful than the will of the individual or the Soul itself. And this kind of environmental blockage
generates the famous inconjunct crisis. The Scorpio archetype then asks why is this happening.
And once the question of "why" is ignited, relative to the implied crisis, the awareness as to why it
is occurring at some point will occur. Meaning the inconjunction in this phase is yet again an
adjustment aspect, and the essence of it is how to harmonize personal or Soul will with the will of
the social sphere. And until this is accomplished, absolute blockage.

BI-QUNTILE (216° - Full). This is another derivative of the quintile, and the original intention of
the quintile aspect again is creative transformation. So what this aspect is doing in the Full phase
is serving to create an additional awareness within consciousness, the Soul, the individual, of
what the uniqueness is or the specialty is within the social purpose, which social purpose is now
given in the Full phase, relative to the original intention demonstrated at the New conjunction.
The practical example of this. All of us grew up in any given society. We get older. We become

85
aware. "Uh oh, there is something I must do with my life in the context of society". Most of us
call this work and/or career. Now there is a whole spectrum of possibilities in terms of work
choices. The intention of this aspect in the Full phase is to generate what that function is that
has a degree of relevancy or harmonization with the Soul itself. There is a connection there. In
other words, if you are not meant to be a barber, this aspect will tell you so. Maybe you are
meant to be a welder.

DISSEMINATING PHASE (225 - 270°).

SESQUIQUADRATE (225° - Diss.). Another transitional aspect, between Full and Disseminating.
This is very, very important because it is leading the Soul into the Disseminating phase. This
phase is in fact the totality of any existing society. In the existing society you have rules, laws,
procedures, norms, customs, and taboos. Society requires certificates for nearly all professions.
So what we have in this aspect is the will of society, not just others in your immediate social
sphere (which is the Full phase), but the will of the entire society, saying "Here is how you do it!"
This aspect demands conformity. That will create its own resistance in many souls, particularly
souls that find themselves in an individuated state. Meaning, the implication in the individuated
state, the underneath archetype, is rebellion against the consensus. There is a tremendous
collision of will here. And so this aspect has the flavor of the inconjunct in the sense of necessary
adjustment. And really, what the attitude that will come out of this aspect in the end has to be,
particularly for those in the individuated state, is simply understanding that whatever society is
dictating me how to actualize the purpose, that simply has to be then reinterpreted, i.e., this is
just a means to an end, in which I get the last laugh. Meaning, if I do it on societal terms, then I
am integrated i.e. as a psychologist, but then I am doing it in my own individual way anyway.
Once we adjust in this way, we move into the disseminating part of the aspect. Then the person
is now feeling socially powerful, having now progressively learned to harmonize the will with the
will of the society. And they now have the strength. The aspect generates the strength to go
ahead and allow integration to occur. That is the transitional nature between Full and
Disseminating in this aspect, and again viewing this in evolutionary terms.

TRINE (240° - Diss.) This is a very, very strong aspect, because now it is taking place in the
Disseminating phase. There is an underlying fear here, particularly for those in the individuated
state. This is why it is so important to understand these evolutionary conditions. Because if in
fact one is in a consensus state, this trine is like a magical aspect. The doors are always open.
But if I find myself in an individuated state, what is the underlying fear now? That now, by going
ahead and get integrated into society on its own terms, my fear comes through the Crescent
polarity. Suddenly all this hard-won individuality, which was created at the first New conjunction,

86
is being absorbed and assimilated by the society itself! Suddenly my individuality is at risk. I am
feeling I am like everybody else now. And the individuated person does not want to have this
feeling. Conversely, if that individuated person understands it to be a fear only, then that person
in this aspect serves as an example to the consensus to move forwards.

So the Disseminating phase in general is just this. We have to integrate whatever our sense of
purpose is to the social sphere. It is a socialization phase. And in the trine aspect in this phase,
there is a relative degree of ease of integrating the original purpose at the New conjunction, which
is entirely individual, and which has now, in evolutionary sense, reached the level of socialization.
Integrating and giving back to the social sphere, not just living in narcissistic egocentric splendor.

BI-SEPTILE (257° - Diss.) This is a very powerful aspect. This is the initial aspect leading to the
Disseminating square, which leads to the Last Quarter phase, which then leads into the Last
Quarter square. So this bi-septile within it is the initial beginning, the initial spark leading to
mutation. Ultimate mutation is to be found in the Balsamic phase, but this aspect is starting the
journey to that mutation, to the culmination of an entire cycle. So this original spark in mutation
is what? If we have the absolute socialization taking place within the Disseminating phase, in
which the individual is being required, through the phase, to integrate the individual purpose on
sociological or social terms in order to share and disseminate, that person has now become a
socialized being in the social sense, the societal sense. And now at this aspect the original
beginning of mutation is occurring. It is a fated aspect, and what is occurring in this fated aspect
is that the Soul is going to be drawing to itself key circumstances and/or people and/or internal
thought that have the nature of mutation, meaning key people, key circumstances, internalized
thought. Which then starts creating yet another question mark - there must be more that this!
There are new ways to move forwards that have nothing to do with the existing social arena or
sphere. It is an individuating aspect.

And this aspect then begins to generate the seed of social alienation. "Wait a minute, there must
be more than this!" If you put it say in religious context, we could say the Disseminating phase in
Western society, being the consensus, embraces Christian/Judean thought. This aspect will then
create a philosophical question mark in consciousness. Maybe there is more than this. And the
aspect simply creates the necessary circumstances that generate the question mark.

LAST QUARTER PHASE (270 - 315°).

SQUARE (270° - Diss./LQ). I have actually given this my own key word. I call this the Vincent
Van Gogh square. As a matter of fact, his Sun/Moon phase natally was exactly this aspect. His

87
was a very tortured life. See, the key word for the Last Quarter phase, as Rudhyar pointed out, is
called Crisis in Consciousness. What this essentially means is a crisis in belief. Again, let us
agree that, whatever the nature of our belief system is determines our perception and
interpretation of phenomenal reality. Now, any existing society, wherever it is, has consensus
beliefs, rights, wrongs, morals, and all the rest of it. And what the Disseminating square is
generating, following that bi-septile, is a fundamental crisis in belief. And when you have a crisis
in belief going on within your consciousness, you are naturally disengaging from the existing
society. You begin to stand apart. This aspect is creating a degree of detachment within the
consciousness. It creates a dual awareness. On the one hand, the person is aware that it is still
participating within the social sphere. It is still in the disseminating phase. And yet, at the same
time, within its consciousness it feels it is standing apart from the very thing it is participating in.
And therefore it is creating the necessary kind of detachment, which is now intensifying the
question mark generated in the bi-septile. Now the person is beginning to consciously and
actively ask different kinds of questions. Relative to what? "There must be more than this." So
it creates a psychological dilemma for the Soul. Van Gogh jettisoned an ear. Admittedly, that is
an extreme application of the aspect. But, we are going to jettison something!

What we are moving towards is the Balsamic. And the Balsamic, again, is the absolute
completion of an entire cycle. At this aspect the Soul is preparing for that future cycle, once
again symbolized in the New phase. They do not know what it is. It is an unknown, it is
undefined, but they are feeling the pull towards it. So this Disseminating square is incredibly
intense. For any two planets in this aspect, this is the archetype. And as this aspect evolves into
the Last Quarter, there is a tremendous temptation. Because the heart of the issue here is what
we call security. And again, for most people on earth, security is a function of being self-
consistent. And self-consistency involves the past, how the past shapes and defines each
moment. So even though this aspect is intensifying the mutation, leading into an absolute
unknown, in the aspect, the temptation is to borrow or align oneself with what has already come
before. Why? It is a known quantity.

Q: - ? A: What is behind this, again, is the disseminating phase. And, see, when you throw in
the polarity (remember the key word here, First Quarter, Crisis in Action), you can now see how
this perfectly harmonizes with Crisis in Belief. If I am starting to make big question marks in my
brain, "there must be more than this", i.e. altering my existing belief functions (which have just
been defined by the social sphere), then the question becomes within it (First Quarter polarity),
"Now what do I do? Where do I go? What directions do I pursue?" Because it (Last Quarter) is
still a big giant question mark, this (First Quarter) is also a question mark. So what this aspect
generates in and of itself archetypally is the idea of experimentation. Experimenting with new

88
thought forms, which will necessarily and automatically lead into new physical directions. So you
as a counselor to such a person have to have what voice? "Oh yes, go ahead and redefine the
past!" You have to empower that client, you have to create the voice of courage.

QUNTILE (288° - Last Quarter). Here again we have the idea of creative transformation. So
what this aspect is doing within this phase is that the first question mark, which was generated at
the bi-septile in the Disseminating phase and which has become a major question mark in the
Last Quarter square aspect, now begins to have the seed thoughts of what the new thought
forms, what the new philosophy, what the new way of thinking is going to become. And,
therefore, this aspect comes into the archetype of gestation, gestational awareness. Relative to
the First Quarter polarity, the directions to pursue now become a bit more well formed. Relative
to what? "This is why I am going to do this. This is why I am thinking this way."

SEXTILE (300° - Last Quarter). By the time we hit the sextile, the above is now becoming ever
more refined. It now becomes progressively more easy to follow through on the thought that was
starting to be created in the quintile aspect. The thoughts are now becoming more well formed.
The vision of the future is now more conceptualized, the directions to assume become more clear.
And now, the process of integration of these new thought forms is at hand. This does not mean
that those new thought forms are total conceptual frameworks. It does mean that enough of the
thought form is in place to allow clarity, to allow for an explanation, within and without, to occur.

SEPTILE (308° - Last Quarter). Here again the notion of fate. This is now accelerating the Soul
into the Balsamic. And so, to keep the Soul aligned with these new thought forms and these new
directions that were originally gestational, the Soul yet again in this aspect programs what?
Certain key people, certain key experiences, that will occur to keep the person aligned with these
new thoughts and direction. Within the phase itself there is still frustration. Why? Because
within the phase the person is still going to have to be fulfilling on societal levels their existing
social commitments, obligations and duties. And yet, within the privacy of their inner life, all this
inner contemplation, reflections and gestations are occurring, which are really the seeds leading
to the next cycle in the New phase all over again.

BALSAMIC PHASE (315 - 360°).

SEMI-SQUARE (315° - Last Quarter/Balsamic). Yet another transitional gate, into the Balsamic.
In the Balsamic phase the key word is mutation, culmination, completion. Meaning, in the
Balsamic phase, as we are moving towards it, we have a progressive universalization of
consciousness. The consciousness is progressively expanding, relative to what? The original

89
impulse, which was egocentric at the New conjunction, absolute egocentric subjective
development, that was being progressively expanded to the social sphere, leading into the
mutation process, now moving into a universalization of the consciousness.

And so, at this semi-square, that original universalization is beginning to expand the
consciousness in progressively concentric circles to embrace the whole. The psychology of
detachment, which has begun at the bi-septile in the Disseminating phase, is now reaching a
degree of maximum detachment. There is a split within the consciousness that is now able to be
objective because of the detachment. On the one hand, to be able to look backwards and, in an
objective way, to see all the reasons, all the realizations, all the understandings which have
defined the past (the original cycle starting in the New phase). It is reflective here. And at the
same time, becoming ever more aware of these new seed thoughts, these new forms, these new
realizations. Even in certain cases, the perception of what the next life is going to be. This will
begin at this aspect, and the tension in the semi-square is what? The temptation here is to say
"OK, I am done now. I don't have to do any of this thing called "my past" anymore. I want to
totally rush into this new cycle." But this aspect does not allow that. In effect, this aspect is
demanding to live a dual life, what we can call a Walter Mitty type of aspect. They have to
continue the completion aspect of the cycle is the point. A perfect example of this is the kind of
person who is going on an external basis. It looks like their life is perfectly normal. And yet, as
soon as they are in the privacy of their own home after work, they are studying an astrology book
over candlelight. Because that is really their essence.

So as we get into the Balsamic phase itself, as the transition of this aspect occurs, the Balsamic
phase itself is an incredibly important phase. Why? Anything that has occurred in this entire
cycle from New until this point (semi-square in Balsamic), whatever is not finished or completed
or resolved, relative to the original intention at the New conjunction, will be brought to a head in
this aspect. The person will have a feeling of repeating life's conditions, dynamics, circumstances,
or experiences. And it is a very frustrating aspect, because in many ways the Soul or the
individual will have a feeling "Wait a minute, I have already done all this bullshit. Why does it
keep happening?"

And the answer is, if it is in fact still happening, it means one thing. It is not resolved, it is not
finished yet, which is the intention in the aspect. And in order for the person to understand why
it is occurring, it implies the Balsamic phase. Meaning, yet again, concentric expansion of
consciousness, the essence of which is detachment, disengagement. They then have to create a
situation in their consciousness which is now reflective. "This is why it is occurring, and therefore
I will cooperate with it, in order to bring it to culmination." Every aspect that is going to follow

90
this aspect (semi-sextile and Balsamic conjunction) will have this primary theme of resolution,
completion and resolving.

At the same time, this Balsamic phase will create inwardly an ongoing expansion of
consciousness, which is progressively embracing the universal. However, many people do not
conceive it this way. The Balsamic phase is the search for ultimate meaning, the absolute. And
the typical temptation in the phase, as an example, if you have Mars/Venus Balsamic, the typical
temptation for that individual is to look for the ultimate meaning in some stupid partner and to
make them the de facto God or Goddess, instead of the actual divinity they are looking for within.
When this occurs, the Balsamic phase generates necessary disillusionment. Why? Because the
individual in this example will project too much meaning into the partner, idealized, and that will
always lead to disillusionment. Any two planets in the Balsamic phase come under this potential
problem, because what this phase is trying to teach is that the ultimate meaning that this phase
is demanding is within. Keeping in mind that the polarity phase here is Gibbous, it is going to
generate necessary experiential crisis, if in fact the ultimate meaning is being projected outwards.

CONJUNCTION (360° - Balsamic). We finally move into the Balsamic conjunction as the
absolute completion of the phase. And in this aspect, the Soul is being seeded with the thought
forms leading to the next life, which then, of course, sets up the New phase conjunction, and here
we go on the wheel all over again.

PHASES COMBINED. Any planet in the birth chart normally is in different kinds of phasal
relationships and aspects to other planets. There is nothing in astrology that speaks of this fact.
And what I am suggesting here is that, within our consciousness, for any human being, different
archetypes are evolving at different rates. Look at this principle. Different archetypal functions of
consciousness evolve at different rates. I can have Mercury Balsamic to Neptune, and yet it might
be Disseminating relative to Saturn. Think about how that would actually be operative within the
actual person's reality, inwardly. On the one hand, you have this Neptune/Mercury Balsamic,
meaning inherently they are thinking in some kind of ultimate, or poetical, or metaphorical, or
religious, or spiritual way. And yet, at the same time Mercury is Disseminating to Saturn. This is
how everybody else thinks, this is how everybody else talks, etc.

You see what is going on in the brain now? What is the intention then? Why would it be in that
condition? These are the kinds of questions you have to ask. If you have this kind of perspective
or window into the Soul (and you will find this in no other astrological literature), can you imagine
the level of information, feedback, awareness, you can create for that client?

91
The example given is very much in the way that Jesus himself communicated, because he was
communicating to the consensus. And yet, his teaching was utterly new from the point of view of
the existing religious tradition. So the way he communicated was through allegory and
metaphor, in which the essence of allegory and metaphor has allusion to reality; a new kind of
reality, a new way of thinking. That is a poetical kind of way of communicating. With respect to
the example (Mercury/Neptune Balsamic, Mercury/Saturn Disseminating), do you see what I am
getting at now? And if you can then validate that to that person, "You're meant to speak in these
ways, to help people change their own ways of thinking in the context of the existing social
sphere they live in." "Really? Far out!" And this is the way of showing you how things are
evolving at different rates, and for what reasons.

Q: - ? A: In the example given, Pisces is overlaid to the Gemini archetype, 3rd house. That is
how you begin to interpret. You have to synthesize, and Pisces in Gemini cannot communicate
linearly. They can only communicate poetically, through allegory or allusion.

Q: - ? A: One of the beautiful things in the Last Quarter, in these various aspects, because of the
Crisis in Consciousness, i.e. remembering the split in consciousness, relative to new forms
manifesting, is that this phase itself can produce what are called the social geniuses. The people
that come up with new ways, that then are re-integrated by society, the social geniuses. The
welder that invents a new way of welding, the banker that creates a new way of banking, the
artist that creates a new way of painting, etc. Or, in Einstein's case, a new way of understanding
physics. It can be an incredibly powerful phase.

KEY PLANETARY PAIRS (6-0.08.20)

Sun/Moon, Moon/Saturn, Venus/Mars, Mercury/Jupiter, Jupiter/Saturn, Saturn/Uranus. These
are the key planetary pairs, although any planet can be in phasal relationships to other planets.

SUN/MOON as an archetype correlates with one basic psychological thought, creative self-
actualization, how one is creatively actualizing one's sense of purpose (Sun) on a moment-to-
moment, day-to-day, month-to-month basis (Moon). The Moon is supplying personal identity
relative to the purpose (Sun), and thus creating a self-image (Moon), relative to that purpose
(Sun). How this is done is determined by the phase. You fill in the blanks by simply
understanding the house and sign the Sun is in, and the house and sign the Moon is in. So you
have the archetype and then you supply the Virgo details, relative to the house and sign the Sun
and Moon are in.

92
MOON/SATURN correlates on a phasal basis to the nature of our environmental imprinting as
created by mom and pop, and then, later, through the society that we are born into. It also
correlates with the dynamic that we call gender assignment, and the person's reaction to that
gender assignment.

Example of gender assignment. Many years ago we did a study at a place in Seattle called the
Sexual Minority Center. I studied the sexual correlations to astrology. They had transsexuals,
transvestites, bisexuals, and people with sexual dysfunction problems. I found that 90% of the
people who were literally transsexuals had Moon/Saturn Balsamic. Now we just remember the key
word here, mutation. Coincidence or synchronicity? Now that does not mean that any time you
see Moon/Saturn Balsamic you are dealing with a transsexual, because each Soul is individual.

So, to reiterate the key point, the impact of the early environment as imprint, mother/father, and
then, through extension, society, and the person's reaction to that imprint.

Example, Moon/Saturn Full. What would you assume to be the nature of the early environmental
imprinting, impact, shaping that person's sense of inner identity (Moon)? The original impact as a
child is that they are perceiving as a child there was a natural polarization or opposition between
mother and father, and that mother and father seemed to represent two kinds of realities. They
were opposed. Now, if the person takes in the environment in that way, what is the original
imprinting in their egocentric structure and the emotional reality that follows the self-image it has
created? Do you feel that's going to generate an integrated personality, an integrated self-image,
emotional dynamics that are stable? How come? Because there was a perception of original split
between Mom and Pop (or one could have been missing). And how does that follow through
when you are an adult, as you attempt to integrate your Moon/Saturn into the context of the
social sphere?

VENUS/MARS is clearly an archetype that is going to interest most people, because we are
talking about the whole archetype that is now connected to relationships and how relationships
are defined; the roles within a relationship, the dynamic of giving and receiving, the dynamic
between necessary independence and necessary need to complete oneself in relationship.

Example: Venus/Mars New. Does that person know at birth all these questions? Is it probably
correlating to an individual who, from birth, has to have a primary emphasis on necessary
freedom, in order to initiate a diversity of relationships with a diversity of types, experiment with
all kinds of ways of being in a relationship, i.e. initiating this and then the reaction to that which
was initiated, initiating giving them the knowledge? It is no different than baby touching hot

93
stove. Before it touched the hot stove it did not know it was hot. So, in the very same way, in
the New phase it has to initiate something, creating reaction to that which was initiated, in order
to know: yes/no. So, in the New Venus/Mars, there has to be this kind of Arian approach to the
relationship dynamic, at least over a period of time, in order for the person to become
progressively aware "This is how I can do it and this is how I cannot do it." And that will be
progressive over a series of lifetimes. After all, it is a New phase.

Example: Venus/Mars Balsamic. You are looking at a karmic evolutionary condition where that
Soul in this life will be bringing back to itself all kinds of relationships defined in past life, in which
something was not quite finished or resolved. Once again, you are looking at a potentiality of the
person projecting too much ultimate meaning onto that darn partner, and inevitably is then
experiencing disillusionment

MERCURY/JUPITER. Herein lies yet again the whole dynamic archetypally between left and
right brain, the dynamic of our need to order phenomenal reality (Jupiter) from the point of view
of Mercury ("this is a table"). In other words, the archetype here is correlating to the type of
philosophical or mental organization of phenomenal reality, and how the person does it. It
correlates to how the person is able to learn, and then communicate the learning.

Example: Mercury/Jupiter, First Quarter square. Do you think this person is probably going to be
argumentative? Do you think they naturally have an instinct to challenge existing authority at an
intellectual or philosophical level? Do you think they have a need to assert their own particular
individualistic ideas? Do you think this is probably going to generate an environmental conflict?
But from the point of view of the archetype, necessarily so!

Example: Mercury/Jupiter, Full opposition. This is a situation where on the one hand the person
(Jupiter) has their own ideas, their own philosophies, their own beliefs. But they are now totally
exposed to the social sphere; other people's beliefs, other people's knowledge, other people's
ideas.

Q: How about the right brain? A: From the New conjunction until Mercury reaches the opposition,
Jupiter is applying to Mercury, meaning the right brain is applying to the left brain. As we reach
the opposition, Mercury is now beginning its movement towards Jupiter, meaning progressively
the Mercury function is going to be applying to the Jupiter function. And at this point of
opposition it is in a dynamic state of stress. They are equally balanced, and it correlates to what
is called brain switching. There is an imbalance between the right and left brain. It goes back and
forth like a ping pong ball.

94
JUPITER/SATURN. This is a very, very interesting archetype. Jupiter in any chart correlates
with the nature of one's belief systems, and how belief systems determine how we interpret
reality. Saturn here correlates with not only the structure of one's consciousness, i.e. the
structure of the belief systems, but on an external basis it also correlates with the structure of
society, the consensus. So the question becomes, what is the individual's capacity to integrate
their own natural belief system, what life is meaning to them, in the context of the existing
society? What happens if Jupiter/Saturn are in opposition, what if in First Quarter square, what if
Balsamic? Which has a direct implication on your ability, on a monetary level, in our time, to
sustain yourself. If your belief systems are fundamentally at odds with the society you live in,
creating Jupiter alienation, is that not going to have an impact on your ability to sustain your life
in monetary terms, in the context of that society?

Another application of this cycle is a very basic one, the general economic cycle in any society.
For those that study economics (this is generally a twenty-year cycle, from conjunction to
conjunction, meaning every ten years you have the opposition), if you research American history,
every ten years there comes along a president who has got a new vision of the economy.
(Examples of the economic situation in the U.S., tape 6-0.22.45)

SATURN/URANUS. The conjunction roughly has a 48-year cycle. Each phase correlates to 6
years, which is then correlating to what we call sub-generations within generations. When it
forms the conjunction, there is a 6 year period that follows in which a certain percentage of those
people truly become (in Rudhyar's terms) seed people for the next 48 years, in terms of the
transformation of society and the reality, at a consensus level, of society. As an example, in the
early forties this conjunction took place in Taurus, keeping in mind that this conjunction is going
to come into maturity at the opposition, roughly 24 years later. And in the early forties, a whole
bunch of people were born who became the original social leaders of rebellion in the late sixties.
And in view of the original conjunction having taken place in Taurus (Taurus has a direct
connection to music), what was in fact the vehicle in the mid to late sixties that generated the
social transformation and rebellion? Music. Suddenly people like Joan Baez, the Bob Dylan's, the
Beatles, etc. And at that maturity aspect, remember everybody tried to move back to the land,
the whole issue of communities or communes, the whole revolution in sex. (Further examples of
situation in the U.S.: tape 6-0.27.00) So what this is showing is the progressive transformative
movements in society every 48 years. Check it out!

A very interesting point. The last Saturn/Uranus conjunction took place at 28 - 29 Sag, the very

95
center of our galaxy. Now if you put that in the context of the fact that we are moving towards
the Aquarian Age, clearly what we are talking about here is a radical shift in paradigms. Its
ultimate implication, in my mind, is going to be the phenomena of time, because Capricorn
correlates with the phenomena of time and the perception of time. And right after the
conjunction, of course, they moved into Capricorn. Right now, our perception of time is based on
past-present-future, the existing law of the trinity, Pisces Age. Let us try to understand that the
future as such is only an abstract. The future can only be understood or accepted from the point
of view of the past. My view is this: over the next thousand to fifteen hundred years, based on
the evolution of the brain (which we talked about yesterday), the perception of time within
consciousness itself is going to radically alter. My view is that the brain will evolve to a place
where perception of time is relative to holograms, and moving from three to four, in which the
past, present, and future exist simultaneously, holograms. Maybe this impulse started at this
Saturn/Uranus conjunction in Sagittarius. Interesting contemplation, yes?

Q: - ? A: To me, again, Sag is the archetype of natural law. See, when your consciousness
embraces a shamanistic way of not only understanding reality but experiencing it, one of the very
first things that happens in that metamorphosis... It is sort of like the analogy, if I go to a theater
to watch a play and am looking at the stage before the play has begun, while behind the closed
curtain the players are ready to act, when I bring that curtain back I see them. The fact is that
there are all kinds of curtains in reality, and right now the human brain is able to perceive exactly
what you are looking at. But I will guarantee you there are about ten curtains in this room, that
reflect different
realities, holograms. And when the collective brain begins to evolve differently, those curtains are
going to be pulled back, so that our understanding of reality is going to be radically shifted. Now
there are certain key seed people, as Rudhyar insistently pointed out, that are seeded in this way
already. I do not want to seem to be boasting, but if I could put you in my brain and show you
what I see all the time... That is really quite interesting.

96
 THE PLANETARY METHOD OF CHART INTERPRETATION (6-0.36.30)

Here again this is a system that is in no other literature. But when you start working with it and
get used to it, it will in fact prove itself to you. And it is particularly good, relevant, when you
combine it with the House Method of Chart Interpretation, which we will also get into.

The method starts with Pluto. Of course, this is the heart of what this school is about, the Soul,
and the evolution of the Soul from life to life. Wherever you find the natal Pluto, by house and
sign, simply correlates with what? What the current evolutionary intention is for this life, in the
first place. Now, the natal Pluto by house and sign will demonstrate what the prior life
evolutionary dynamics were. And coming into life at birth, that Soul will naturally gravitate to
that orientation, definition of itself, Soul definition, that has come prior to this life. Again, it
connects to the idea of security. At this level, unconscious security. Again, how many of us are
aware of our Soul? And because Pluto is demonstrating a series of prior life times in the area that
Pluto is found in (house, sign), that is then going to constitute familiarity - unconscious security.
Which is again why Pluto connects to compulsion, obsession, repetitive compulsion, etc. That is
why it correlates to resistance to change, to being defensive, to feeling threatened. All this
connects to security. But if the Soul just stayed where it was, then you would have the Plutonian
stagnation, non-growth. So the polarity point is the very first thing you want to look at in any
chart. That, on a bottom-line Pluto level, is the intention, the bottom-line intention, which allows
for evolution to occur. So, Pluto is demonstrating from itself the Soul's intention.

The next step in this method is now to move to the Sun. Let us now understand that, at least in
how we are perceiving, Pluto is the farthest planet. And from that extremity we go to the reverse
extremity: Sun. See? Meaning, all the other planets are in between. The Sun in this scheme
correlates with how the person is integrating and giving purpose and meaning to that evolutionary
intention. How it is interpreted, how it is understood and how it is integrated. Again, the Sun can
be in whatever sign and whatever house. It can make aspect to whatever planets. That in
combination equals the totality of the idea or the archetype of integration, purpose and meaning.
For example, if my Sun is in Sag, I integrate whatever in a philosophical way, I understand it
philosophically.

Next, Moon. Why? The Moon is able to give the evolutionary purpose, linked with the sense of
how it is integrated, a personal way to actualize it, on a day-to-day basis. To give it personal
form, egocentric structure, a self-image, and thus a way emotionally to feel secure with it. And
since we gave you the foundations in the last few days, you can now connect Sun/Moon phases.

97
So now we have the evolutionary intention demonstrated by Pluto, which has now been
integrated and given meaning and purpose through the Sun. Which is now given a form on a
daily basis to be actualized, Moon. See how it works?

Mercury, following these planets. See now why this system is so relevant? Because we have
evolutionary intention; we have a Sun integrating and giving purpose and meaning; we have
personal form relative to the sign of the Moon. Now, these in combination condition the Mercury,
the kind of intellectual apparatus I create in order to explain to myself what has already occurred
here (of itself!): intention, integration, personal form. The kind of mental organization or
structure, the types of ideas, that the Soul utilizes to explain to itself what the intention is, why I
am integrating this, why the personal form. It will correlate to the kind of information that we will
want to learn to continue the understanding of this purpose. The house and sign of Mercury, the
aspects it is making, tell you exactly the kind of information or intellectual structure that we will
utilize to create it for this purpose. See, if you start going through a chart in this kind of
sequential way, do you see what we are getting at?

Venus. This will now connect to the types of values that the person creates. The value
associations that are totally created following this scheme. These value associations generate the
meaning for it all. How the person is inwardly relating to it, Venus. How many of you remember
that Venus correlates with your inner relationship to yourself? The Taurus side of Venus means
that this is going to show how it becomes established, rooted, made real. And on this basis, how
they are going to relate it to other people. This Venus is then going to condition (following this
mechanism) the types of relationship that the person wants and needs (Venus) to support the
evolutionary intention; how it is being integrated; how it is being given personal form; how it is
being communicated. All of this creating an inner vibration, now manifesting through Venus. This
serves now as an attraction principle. Interesting way of looking at things, yes?

Mars. Here again remember that Mars is the lower octave of Pluto. This is now giving the
personality conscious desire. Giving it Mars: energy, to be acted upon, on an ongoing basis. How
that will be done is determined by the house and sign that Mars is in, and the aspects it is making
to other functions.

This is a very deductive way of doing it, but it will lead to an inductive awareness. So this is an
example of Virgo leading to Pisces.

Jupiter. This connects to the entire belief structure, which now conditions how the person is

98
interpreting everything. Inwardly interpreting what is going on within itself. Interpreting the
phenomenal nature of its external life, the belief systems that create this. Jupiter at this level
also correlates with the impulse to keep growing, to keep evolving, and to keep learning. One of
its greatest functions is to create a psychological sense of restlessness, the need to grow, evolve,
know more. So the house and sign that Jupiter is in, the aspects it is making. Now you can
understand why Pluto has picked this Jupiter sign, why it has picked this Venus sign, this Mercury
sign. Because it is all going to support the original intention.

Saturn. Saturn at this level is now defining the actual structure of your consciousness, in which
all of this is housed and given structure within the totality of your consciousness. Very few people
connect to this fact, that Saturn correlates with how your consciousness is structured. A simple
example: what if I have Saturn in Leo? Could we say that the structural nature of their
consciousness is defined by one essential archetype? The self-created right for self-created
actualization, and the right and freedom to do so. So with Saturn in Leo, your Pluto, Sun, Moon,
Mercury etc. all are coming under this archetype of the structure of consciousness. All of these
functions are going to be creatively actualized, and that consciousness gives it the necessary
essential freedom to do so. Saturn by house and sign actually describes the structure of your
consciousness, how it is actually structured. It is just like a skeleton as a structure.

If you happen to have Saturn in Leo and Venus in Scorpio, you are dealing with the structural
nature of consciousness. It is going to creatively actualize the Venus in Scorpio function, relative
to the inner and outer values that it implies. How it is inwardly and outwardly relating. How it is
correlating to the kinds of needs generated in right relationship. What would this then mean, as
an example, because now you have the square. Do you think the Venus in Scorpio, relative to
Saturn in Leo, is going to tolerate a partner who is excessively possessive? No. Why? Because
the very nature of that structural nature of the consciousness is demanding the right for creative
self-actualization. So now you will find, in this conditioning, the Venus in Scorpio saying to the
possessive partner, “Buzz off!”.

Q: - ? A: In a sense, yes, because the Saturn in Leo, at a structural consciousness level would
naturally attract Venus-in-Scorpio type people, and yet the Saturn in Leo part of that structural
consciousness would encourage that Venus in Scorpio type partner to also creatively actualize
their own power. They would not permit them to become excessively Scorpio dependent. They
would serve to empower them, by the sheer fact that Saturn is in Leo and Venus is now in
Scorpio.

Uranus. And in this scheme, Uranus relative to Saturn. Let us agree again that Saturn can get

99
very comfortable in its own status quo, and that means the inner structure of your consciousness
can even reach at such a degree of comfortability, Saturn, its own status quo, "Well, it is
structurally working!". And this would then generate non-growth. Now Uranus is just on the
other side of Saturn, meaning it is perpetually working to keep this Saturnian structure of your
consciousness (your inner/outer reality) in some degree of intensity, in a state of evolution. To
continually create the impulse in consciousness to rebel against too much comfortability, too
much status quo. And therefore it is the archetype of liberation from those existing structures.
The house and sign that Uranus is in will show you how this is done. This refers right back to the
original intention of Pluto.

Neptune. Again this is going to correlate with the transcendent impulse. So what this is finally
going to mean is what? How the Soul is ultimately understanding this entire dynamic/process.
The sense of ultimate meaning it needs to create from within itself to feel right with this entire
process.

South and North Nodes. (the last part you need to put into this mechanism). Perpetual
transition between the past and the future as experienced in the moment by all of us. Is it not
true that all of our lives are always in a dynamic state of stress between the past and the future
as experienced in the moment? In astrology this is reflected by the South and North Nodes,
relative to the natal Moon. The past and the future, stresses therein, South and North Nodes,
experienced in the moment, every minute, is the natal Moon. Here again you see the law of the
trinity.

South and North Nodes of all planets. All planetary functions have a past, present and future.
Example: Capricorn on the 3rd house. You would not normally think that this would in and of
itself communicate through allegory or poetic imageries or metaphors, would you? But what if in
that natal chart the South Node of Neptune was in the 3rd house, in Capricorn? Ah,so!

Q: - ? A: The outer planet Nodes stay in the same signs for about 100 years. Right now on our
planet most people have the South and North Nodes of Pluto, Neptune and Uranus in
Cancer/Capricorn ((error! E.g., Jeffrey himself has the South Nodes of Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter in
Capricorn, and their North Nodes in Cancer. No Uranus, no Neptune.)). When you think in terms
of paradigm shifts, the perceptions of what we call reality is Capricorn. How each individual
understands itself is Cancer. And here we have these outer planets in Cancer/Capricorn. All you
have to do is acknowledge reality. Is it not true from a Saturn/Capricorn point of view that social
reality is, all over the planet, in various states of disintegration? And is this not having a direct

100
impact in each person (Cancer) in those societies in which this disintegration is occurring? Is it
then not a root principle of security itself being challenged at every level? When a consensus
reaches critical mass, i.e., is not working anymore, that gives rise to the question “There must be
more than this!”. And when the collective asks such questions you will have the seed in place for
radical change.

Q: - ? A: And see, if you deal with this existing notion of past, present and future, the South
Node of your Venus is in a certain house and sign. Can we not make the next step? This
represents a series of prior life ways that you have been in a relationship, attitudes therein,
orientations to, value systems created, inwardly and outwardly. How does that come to the
present, current Venus? What is the shift, North Node? You can do this to every planet. And the
underlying principle here is evolution. Once you start looking at the chart through that kind of
filter, it reveals a tremendous level of information that is specific to that individual.

By the way: this planetary method can also be applied to composite charts.

101
 HOUSE METHOD OF CHART INTERPRETATION (6-1.01.50)

This is a very traditional method and I will show you how it works here. Let us start with a simple
example. Scorpio rising, Pluto in 9th, Mars in 1st, and Scorpio, Aries on 6th.

Consider the Ascendant. First of all, we have to understand that the first layer (because we are
talking about layers now) in any interpretation of a house has to start with the archetypal
intention of the house itself. So in this case it is a natural Aries house, the desire to discover who
I am as a distinct individual as separate from anyone else which goes into my egocentric
formation in the 4th house, which is in a constant state of discovery. The next layer is to now
incorporate the archetype of Scorpio. So the next layer is Scorpio, which is now serving to
condition the natural archetype of Aries. So we start developing all kinds of Scorpio language,
relative to the Arian archetype. So would it be illogical to think, as an example, just with Scorpio
on the Ascendant, that in terms of this person discovering who they are as an individual, this is
going to create a natural psychological awareness of self? Where am I coming from, what are my
desires, what are my intentions, what are my motivations. Why, why, why, why? It is again
instinctually projected into the environment. If this is what is going on inside them self, and as
they instinctually project it into the environment, what are they in fact projecting?

Are they not going to be instinctually psychoanalyzing anyone or any environment that they walk
into? Remembering the Arian archetype is instinctual, will not this Scorpio rising person be
instinctually defensive in any immediate environment, towards any person in that environment,
instinctually, all the time? And why is this ? Because part of the self-discovery, relative to the
evolution in this life, is based on what? Trying to understand in a conscious way what the basis of
all their fears are, which starts with the fear of violations of trust, emotional betrayal and
abandonment.

We want to now condition this by locating the house and sign position of the planetary ruler of the
sign on any house cusp. So in this case the planetary ruler is found in the 9th house. For the
moment we will assume that this is an individual who is in an individuated condition. So in the
process of instinctual self-discovery on an ongoing basis, what additional dynamic or content is
the Soul utilizing to answer the questions? Is it not now 9th house material? Meaning, trying to
understand the sense of self, the I, in a metaphysical or cosmological context. Do you see how
this conditions the 1st house?

We can apply this method to any house. Every house has a sign on it. The planet ruling that sign

102
is located somewhere, meaning you are dragging that house into the house under consideration.
This is showing you how specific and individual the application is of that house (here, 1st house)!
In the case where we have a planet in a house, now we have to do what?

Recapitulating, first we have the understanding of the original archetype, we have now
conditioned it with the Scorpio overlay, we further conditioned it by locating the planetary ruler,
and we now further condition it with the impulse of Mars in Scorpio here. And the next step is
then to locate Aries. In this case we now drag the 6th house into the 1st house, as additional
archetypal orientations that are defining the question “Who am I as a distinct individual as
separate from everyone else on an ongoing basis?” Does this not demonstrate that there will
also be a high degree of inner self-criticism? But also an instinctual defense to other people's
criticism? And therefore, probably an unresolved anger based on subconscious memories of being
persecuted in prior lifetimes. This becomes an immediate issue in this life to work out. Mars is in
the 1st house allied to the Aries on the 6th house. Is therefore not the work dynamic, the work
assignment issue itself, going to be an emphasized dynamic defining the sense of self here? Is it
not true, with Aries on the 6th house and Mars in the 1st house, that the person is going to have
an instinctual feeling that they have something special to accomplish and/or do. But in order to
accomplish this, the person is probably going to have a whole series of confrontations with other
peoples' wills. And then by the nature of these confrontations, they will have to ask “Why?” And
by asking “why”, they have to adjust what? The dominant assertion of their will.

You do this right around the whole chart. Go house by house. Oh, the 9th is coming to the 1st.
Oh, the 6th is coming to the 1st. And, in reverse, when you get to the 6th, the 1st is now coming
to the 6th. This is now what you call uncovering repeating themes. Once you start identifying
the repeating themes, what are you identifying? The underlying core fundamental archetypes in
that consciousness. This now helps you eliminate the typical problem in astrology, “I have a
chart, look at all this stuff, where do I go, what means what?” Once you start identifying the
underlying themes, you refer to those underlying themes. Now, imagine combining this with the
planetary method of interpretation. And when you start combining this with the Pluto ideas
themselves (which we will get into next), you now see how this can lead to incredibly precise
analysis!

103
 PLUTO - SOUL - SOUL EVOLUTION- EVOLUTIONARY NECESSITY - KARMA -
POLARITY POINT - NODES - NODE RULERS (6-1.13.20)

We now go through an entire review of all the Pluto ideas that are reflected in the book. My
approach is that we assume that you never even read the book. There is some new information
that is not in the book that is specific to the Four Natural Evolutionary Conditions. This is the
heart of the material of course, and this is what is going to produce evolutionary astrologers,
hopefully.

Now what we are dealing with here is the nature of the Soul, i.e. from life to life. And Pluto has a
very specific correlation to what we call Soul. The Soul has been a word in all languages since the
human evolution. And in this type of country at this point in time, for the last 20 - 30 years the
notion of the Soul, the idea of the Soul, has been in the vocabulary amongst people in a very
large way. But the real question becomes what actually is a Soul? First of all, we've already
understood that it is pure energy. And it is certainly a vortex of energy within consciousness.
And just as physicists rightfully point out, energy cannot be destroyed, it can only change form.
That would seem to me the greatest argument for reincarnation as possible, from a physicist's
point of view.

Now, the Soul can be generally defined, following this physicist's idea, as an immutable
consciousness. Immutable here means that which cannot be destroyed. And within that
immutable consciousness, called the Soul, there is a dynamic that is the causal factor in its
evolution from life to life. And that dynamic is rooted in the archetype of desire. Now, within the
Soul (keep in mind how this perfectly reflects the law of polarization or polarity, night/day,
yin/yang) there are two opposite or antithetical desires. One desire is to separate away from that
which has created the Soul in the first place (we can use the generalized term, God), and one
desire is to return to that which has created the Soul. You can see how these desires go in
opposite directions. And this is the very basis, the dynamic, the law, of what psychologists will
call free choice. It is determined by the nature of desire. The evolution of the Soul is simply
based on a progressive elimination of all separating desires. Separating desires are only limited
by that what you can imagine, which is exactly why it takes so darned long to exhaust such
desires to the exclusion of one desire only, which is the desire to reunite with the source or God.

Now this simple truth is the very basis of Buddha's enlightenment under the famous Bodhi tree,
as he pondered the nature of sorrow and pain. And as he pondered this, he rapidly realized that it
was desire as the causal factor in anything that can be described as misery, pain or suffering. And

104
this promoted his enlightenment.

So desire is the determinant, the causal factor, in evolution. This simple truth can be empirically
validated by every human being on earth, i.e. beyond astrology. Is it not true that all of us here
in this room can have whatever types of desire – the new lover, the new position, the new
objective, and so on. And we may have the capacity to act upon and actualize whatever these
separating desires may be. And as we do so, we do in fact have a momentary sense of
satisfaction. But then, what soon replaces the psychological experience of satisfaction? It is the
sense of dissatisfaction or something more. It is the sense of psychological dissatisfaction that
mirrors the desire to return to the source. All of us have this experience. It is universal.

Keep in mind the core point: astrology can only reflect life, not cause it. Moses himself, who was
in fact a master astrologer, said the following “Astrology is a symbolic language of God.” So the
dynamic within the Soul that promotes the cause of evolution is, in fact, the principle of desire.
Now the principle of evolution itself, the idea of, the reality of, also correlates with the symbol of
Pluto. Evolution, from the point of view of time/space, is non-debatable. The simplest proof of
this is, all of our experience, universal, is always in a continuous state of becoming. Nobody can
debate this. And therefore you have evolution.

I want to say this thought in order to counteract some of the thoughts channeled through Jane
Roberts relative to Seth. The delusion in these thoughts is that somehow reality is existing
simultaneously, that reality (past, present, future) is existing simultaneously. Now you have to try
and realize that this entity called Seth is speaking from a universe called the Causal Universe.
And from the point of view of the Causal Universe, this statement is absolutely true. But, in fact,
this is not the Causal Universe, this is the Material Universe. From the point of view of the
Material Universe, at this point in evolution, that statement is not true. If it was true, we would
find the Dinosaur sitting right next to us. And the other delusive thought from the point of view
of the Material Universe that is also promoted in these teachings, is that somehow we can create
any reality that we so desire. This is also pure bullshit. In each life you have a parameter of
what is possible and what is not. And within those parameters you have free choice. A simple
example. I can sit here and decide I want to be President of the United States. But if it is not
within my parameters (that which is possible), you think it is really going to happen just because
I desire it?

In any case, Pluto does in fact correlate with the notion and idea, reality, of evolution. And of
course there are two kinds of evolution. From the Darwinian point of view it is called the Theory
of Uniformity, which is slow yet progressive change, i.e. the state of becoming, non-cataclysmic,

105
non-severe. And on the other hand, there is, of course, cataclysmic evolution. Forms of
cataclysmic evolution as seen from the point of view of natural history or natural science:
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, massive weather destruction. For those who go through it, it is
cataclysmic.

From the point of view of human science, there are certainly many forms of cataclysmic events
that the Soul can create for itself. Take the example of ex-president Nixon. I think most of us
would agree that for him personally, Watergate and the removal of Presidency was certainly a
cataclysmic event. And I would say, from the point of view of the collective consciousness, the
American people at that time, this was a cataclysmic event, the impact of which we are still
experiencing i.e. the fundamental skepticism of the general American populace relative to politics.

Another example. You are sitting in your home, quite comfortable, and your partner comes home
and says, "Guess what, buddy, I am attracted to somebody else. And I already slept with him!"
This would be cataclysmic from an emotional point of view, at least for most of us, unless you are
a masochist. Or the unexpected death of a loved one. Or reaching a state economically in life in
which you finally go bankrupt. And so on.

Most of our lives, from life to life, are primarily, from the point of view of evolution, uniform.
Slow progressive change, with a few cataclysmic events mixed in. Who in this room has not
experienced a cataclysmic event in your life, in this life? But, on balance, wouldn't you also say
that most of your life is not cataclysmic, with a few sprinkled in events? Or, we could say birth is
a cataclysmic event.

The question becomes, “Why in the world have any cataclysmic event?” What is the causal factor
here? There are, in fact, two causes. One cause is rooted, goes right back to the central idea,
reality, of our need to feel secure. Again, security is defined by that which has come before, the
need to be self-consistent. So that, when change becomes necessary, the tendency in the human
being (we are talking about big change, not these little changes) is to resist (Pluto) that
necessary change. Why? Security is being threatened. When evolution becomes imperative, i.e.
if the Soul is trying to accomplish something in whatever area, and if that Soul continues to resist
that necessary change at the moment that it is necessary, then a cataclysmic event will occur in
order to force that evolution. Now, cataclysmic events of this type will lead to accelerated
mutational evolutionary change. Rarely in the middle of a cataclysmic event does the Soul or the
person (Pluto) understand why. During a cataclysmic event there tends to be a loss (Pluto) of
perspective. The "why" does not seem to be present. For those who have gone through
cataclysmic events in this life: did you understand why, when it was happening? Most people do

106
not.

There are two reasons for this. One, it is actually a teaching unique to the Soul i.e. going to key
points in which the sense of being able to control one's life or destiny is lost. Meaning, there
seems to be some higher power or force or energy that seems to be in control of these events,
that you yourself can no longer control. That is trying to remind the Soul that there is something
higher than itself. In other words, the loss of contral must occur in order to re... At same other
point, when the cataclysm is over, i.e. when evaluation has taken place, brand-new perspectives
will emanate from that event, new understandings. Something has fundamentally changed here.

The other cause of cataclysmic events are karmic causes. When a cataclysmic event is karmically
determined, or when an evolutionary shift is determined to occur by the Soul and there is a
resistance to that event or change, the cataclysm is going to occur. The latter comes into the
category which is called evolutionary necessity. Try to understand that evolutionary necessity is
fundamentally different than karmic requirement. Evolutionary necessity and karmic requirement
or cause, which are determined, do equal the phenomena of fate. 20% of any of our lives is
fated. Fate simply means that something is fated to occur. No matter what you do, it is going to
occur.

Now, karmic cause is simple. I am going to spend same time on it because it is not quite as linear
as you think. From the linear point of view it is this simple: karma is simply action leading to
proportionate reaction. If I go out and kill somebody this minute, I have set in motion a cause,
which will have an equal reaction. So, either I get killed in the next minute, two years from now,
or in another life. The problem occurs when the karmic reaction occurs in another life, because at
that paint the Soul has already forgotten. So when this occurs, it stands back and goes, "Why is
this happening?" It can't remember any more. This becomes a potential cause in the
consciousness of victimization. In other words, there are karmic causes that can lead to
cataclysmic events. But karma is not just limited to this linear "action equaling proportionate
reaction". A typical American, as an example, would sit around and go, "OK, if I was abused as a
child, then I must have been an abuser as a parent before", and limit their understanding of these
issues to that kind of thing. I think that mast of us in this room would agree that this is pretty
limited thinking. Because there is also a thing called evolutionary necessity.

Example: what if a given person, through their evolution, created a situation over a series of
lifetimes where all they consciously desired was to fully embrace and disseminate spiritual reality,
and while so desiring said, "I am not going to deal with anything of an emotional nature. I am
just going to stop the emotion, pretend I am not there, transcend them!", and all these happy

107
words. From an evolutionary point of view that will constitute skipped steps. From the point of
view of evolutionary necessity, then, at a certain point in that person's incarnational history, they
are going to have to recover that skipped step, which will then become the causal factor in
evolutionary necessity. So at that point it might set in motion a series of lives in which, in order
to recover those emotional skipped steps (based on the original denial), that would naturally lead
into a series of lives in which the circumstances igniting that emotional reality, in all likelihood
would be quite severe. This could become a causal factor in being born into a family in which it
experienced psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse, as an example. From the point of view
of evolutionary necessity. And therefore the Soul simply picking the parental type in which that
would naturally occur. Which then does not mean there is specific karma between that Soul and-
the parents it has chosen.

Now this point is incredibly important to grasp, because all too often the client comes into a
counseling astrologer who has this limited thinking, reporting his/her story, and the astrologer
goes: "Well...!". The astrologer now doing this trip on the client, promoting wrong information.
And now the person is walking out the door thinking that they had done something which they
had not done. Do you see the deal here? So this point is critical, absolutely critical. The critical
point is to understand the difference between evolutionary necessity and karmic causes. So the
logical question becomes: how can you know the difference?

From the point of view of astrology: now there is a chart in front of you, now there is a client in
front of you. The answer can be determined in a variety of ways, actually. First of all, let's just
run with this scenario: a person incarnates, they come into an environment, they are let's say
sexually or psychologically abused by one or both parents. At that point you now have to have
the parental birth data. Because you will see in the second segment of this course (next time,
when we focus entirely on relationships: synastry charts, composite charts), there are many many
rules that will help you to totally determine not only the past-life background that exists between
you and a member, but also if in fact there is this kind of negative or difficult karma existing in
this scenario between that person and the parent. Next time you will see these rules are
incredible and really extensive. And if those rules, those parameters, are not fitting them, then
you know you have evolutionary necessity. This material and the information at that level, i.e.
how to determine specific past life linkage, is all in the forthcoming second volume of "Pluto".
That is in no other book. So, Pluto correlates with the notion of evolution, the principle of
evolution, the reality of evolution. There are two types: uniform and cataclysmic.

When you look at your birth chart, Pluto is in a house and sign somewhere. What that Pluto in
house and sign is telling you, is what the prior life evolutionary desires have been. Meaning where

108
you see Pluto in the chart, you can assume that that Soul has been living within that self-
definition for a series of lifetimes, and at birth will naturally orientate to that dynamic.

Let's say Pluto in 9, individuated. A series of lives trying to understand cosmological reality, and
its place in the cosmos. For evolution to proceed, the core intention and first cause of the birth,
the reason for the birth, is simply determined by the polarity point in the opposite house and sign
of Pluto. As that new polarity point is moved towards and embraced, this will simultaneously
rebirth the natal dynamic reflected in the natal Pluto. The Pluto at birth (house and sign) has
been a series of lives defining itself in that way. However, there is a Pluto limitation, there is an
implied limitation there. Example, Pluto in the ninth - a series of lives trying to understand itself
in the cosmos, trying to embrace various belief systems, various philosophies, in order to
understand this. However, from the point of view of the 9th house, it is limited, meaning it has
only embraced a portion of the truth, and not the whole truth. And, relative to Pluto's modus
operandi or pathology, it will defend that truth to everyone, in order to have Soul power, Soul
validation, Soul validity.

So in this case, the polarity point would be the 3rd house. The simple translation (keeping in mind
the Soul is also analogous to a computer), the Soul will simply program circumstances in the
current life that equal necessary intellectual and philosophical confrontations with key people who
are more intellectually or philosophically evolved than itself. People who have the capacity to find
the weak link in its most well-thought-out philosophical argument. And by finding the weak link,
the whole argument collapses. And that would then mean the Soul
is trying to embrace more and more ideas, more of the whole truth. Through the nature of the
program, which then rebirths, expands, evolves, metamorphoses the existing limitations in the
9th house Pluto. So here again you see a happy reflection of the law of the trinity.

We have the natal orientation (1), the polarity point then generating the evolution (2), and the
metamorphosis of the existing limitations (3). This is God's happy law. It is really simple.
Wherever that natal Pluto is represents a whole past life series of developments, and the person
has to find himself in that way in a series of lifetimes that create a natural limitation - Pluto.
Pluto is the nature of limitations. The polarity point is demonstrating how those limitations can
change - polarity house. Which then simultaneously expand and metamorphose the existing
limitations of that natal position of Pluto. It's the Law of the Trinity. So the first cause in the birth
then is determined by the opposite house and sign of Pluto.

Now here is an interesting thing to think about. Most of us are aware that there are millions of

109
people born with Pluto in the same sign. Apart from the common generational application, why is
it that God has created the situation where millions of people have Pluto in the same sign? The
answer is really simple. It takes more than one person to accomplish the evolutionary intentions
on the planet. Simple example: we all are aware that we are moving towards the Aquarian Age
(like it or not!), and all of us are aware that progressively the Pluto in Leo crowd are coming into
positions of social power and status, as is Clinton (the first president who has Pluto in Leo). The
polarity point for this generation is Aquarius. Coincidence or synchronicity? Similarly in Jesus'
time. He said that he was here to usher in a new age, called the Pisces Age. Guess where his
Pluto was? Virgo. Coincidence or synchronicity?

Now, wherever your natal Pluto is, your entire generation of Pluto's land in that house of yours.
Think about it! Now there is an instinct in the human consciousness to separate (Mars) from
everything that it is not, in order to discover its individuality. Now the entire generation impacting
on your natal Pluto, relative to the instinct in consciousness to separate, that automatically
stimulates the polarity point! Isn't that magic? What a neat way for God to do it!

Q: - ? A: Because there is an instinct, the desire to separate, inherent to the Soul, which is then
consciously embraced by Mars. The entire generation that you are born into's Plutos (the bulk of
them) will land into the natal house your Pluto is in; which automatically stimulates the instinct to
separate, to discover individuality. Which is therefore stimulating the polarity point.

Q: - ? A: No, because their Plutos are in their own houses somewhere. And yet we are also
within that same generation. We all have to embrace, as Pluto in Leo folks, Aquarius. See, this is
called generational synastry linked with the individual.

SOUTH and NORTH NODES. Earlier we have been saying that the Moon, in astrology,
specifically correlates to the egocentric structure of subjective consciousness, the personality.
And the South Node of the Moon is what? The prior life egos, i.e. The types of' egocentric
structures that the Soul created in order to consciously (Moon) actualize, act upon, make real, the
desires resident in the soul itself. This is reflected in the South Node.
Simple example: same 9th house Pluto, individuated state, a whole complex of desires to
understand itself in cosmological terms; South Node in 7th. What kinds of personality structures,
egocentric structures, did the Soul create to actualize the desires of the 9th house Pluto? T he
answer is very simple: that would be an individual who in past life, South Node in 7th, initiated a
diversity of relationships (7th house) with teacher types (Pluto in 9th), Such people representing
the information or the knowledge that he was seeking, i.e. dependent on external teachers. With

110
the same 9th house Pluto, now South Node in 1st. The desire structure is exactly the same, 9th
house. But now the egocentric reality or structure that the Soul was creating is determined
through the 1st house. Now we have the exact opposite application, meaning a Soul who created
an egocentric structure, subjective consciousness, personality, that had already learned to ask
and answer its own questions. It was its own teacher. The desire structure being identical, the
way of actualizing being diametrically opposed. (Now you can see yet again why cookbook
astrology is pure bullshit. Bullshit, by the way, is Pluto...)

Now, relative to the polarity point, the primary cause, we have a North Node. In effect, the nodal
axis can be called modes of operation, vehicles of operation (consciously). So the North Node is
going to correlate to what? First of all, the North Node is specifically correlating to the past life
egocentric structures that the Soul had created to actualize itself. The North Node in the current
birth chart is showing how that past life egocentric structure is evolving in this life, i.e. a new
conscious egocentric structure, which is consciously developed in order to actualize, in a conscious
way, the polarity point of Pluto.

Here again you have the dynamic tension between past and future, i.e. the transition between
South Node and North Node, that is integrated and given personal egocentric form to do so,
relative to the natal Moon. The natal Moon. So here again you see the law of the trinity: South
Node, North Node, Moon. Example: again, 9th house Pluto, South Node in 7th. So in this current
life, the polarity point is in 3rd, North Node in 1st. This is now telling us what? That in this life,
that Soul is now going to do what? Make a fundamental transition between being dependent on
external teachers and becoming its own teacher. How is this going to be accomplished? It is going
to be accomplished relative to the polarity point, meaning it is going to start to philosophically
and intellectually argue with all external teachers, instinctually and automatically. Why? It is the
Soul's intention. And as it begins to create these kinds of philosophical arguments and
confrontations, it is rapidly beginning to evolve and move towards the discovery of its own voice.
It will be learning how to ask and answer those questions in this life, and thus breaking the
dependency of the South Node. And that dynamic, that stress, is going to be integrated and
given a conscious way to do so to feel secure with that, in that natal Moon. That's the point. The
ego is an integrating function in subjective consciousness. That is why God made egos for us. It
is necessary, it is why you can't get rid of it.

Following our second example: same 9th house Pluto, but South Node in 1st. Now we still have
the same evolutionary intention. In this case, where the Soul had already learned to be its own
teacher, it would still have been limited by the nature of the questions and answers it was
creating, and would have still defined a certain portion of the truth. So now with that polarity

111
point in 3rd and the North Node in 7th, guess what is going to happen in this case.

Q: - ? A: Yes, the symbolism is obviously implying a natural loner: South Node in 1st.

Q: - ? A: The Soul's intention through the 3rd and 7th house is to open up to the entire world of
social interaction. It is a Libra archetype. Do you remember when we were talking about New
phase/Full phase? Here you have it. And now they have to open up to the whole social sphere:
other people, other people's visions, other people's values, other people's beliefs. Learning how
to become a social equal. So that, through the polarity point, it is going to create key people in
that life, who are again more philosophically evolved, intellectually sophisticated, to find that
weak link. Beyond that, they have to learn how to open up to the entire dynamic of being in a
relationship. Why? They are used to being alone for a series of lifetimes. That has now reached
the point of limit. They can't grow anymore if they just hang out being a loner. The next level of
emotional lessons occur right specifically through the dynamic of partnership.

Q: - ? A: No, the Moon will always be limited by its nature. I will show you an example, my
own case. I have South Node in 1st and Sag, North Node in 7th and Gemini. It is integrated
through a Pisces Moon in 4th. Now, believe me, my attitude early in my life, I was just going to
be a monk my whole life. The ruler of my South Node is in 12th. That is my tendency, I am a
monk. It is very comfortable, real easy. But God had other intentions here. When I used to even
think about the idea of intimate relationship, I'd just about puke. Not me! And then you throw in
the potential equation (factor) of children? No way! And yet, I've got a 4th house Moon, squaring
those Nodes. This is clearly demonstrating something about skipped steps, isn't it? I mean, even
at 33, “No, no kids for me!” I might think about relationship, which I did - I was in a few
relationships. But never thinking about having children. And then a certain person came into my
life. This is just showing you how fate occurs. This one woman sort of started a period in my life.
She had been taking birth control pills and all this stuff, you know, and you would think that the
woman could not get pregnant. But the very first time we made love she got pregnant, despite
the birth control pills. I had no intention of marrying this woman. This was just Gemini/Sag
stuff. And I knew that she conceived at that moment.

And the reason I knew it, now think of the symbol here - 4th house Pisces Moon. After we had
made love I put my third eye on her navel chakra, and I saw a green Star of David in my third
eye. I had never seen it before and I have never seen it since. That was my son. And check it
out: this woman was a Russian Jew. A green Star of David! Now, since that time I have already
raised eight kids. I have three biological children, two of which I am still raising, one of which I
have never seen. And I have raised six step-children. That is something about recovering

112
skipped steps, isn't it! There is something about emotional reality, ha! There is something about
parenting, ha! And, guess what? Every one of these step-kids has a Pisces Moon. Synchronicity
or coincidence?

Q: - ? A: Absolutely, even in this life. To me, the whole deal of this life was to transcend the
darned thing. Why engage it?

Q: Because the Moon is in Pisces in the 4th, isn't that supposed to be transcendence of the
emotions? A: No, not in this particular astrological signature, Moon square the Nodal axis. This
comes under the archetype of skipped steps. Any planet squaring the Nodes is skipped steps.
And in order for evolution to proceed, the skipped steps must be recovered. So in that particular
signature, the emotional skipped steps had to be recovered. And for me as an individual that
started with, yes, that 4th house Moon, my own biological mother. That Moon is also squaring
Mars in Sag in 2nd, and it is also squaring Uranus in 8th, which, of course, are in opposition, now
forming a happy T-square to the Moon. She started sexually abusing me out of the womb,
severely. And at age four she tried to scald me to death. At six I was placed in an orphanage.
Pisces moon. Now, given that kind of original imprint, do you think that a Soul that has had all
this past life background of spiritual development, would in this life consciously make, "Oh yes, I
am going to start working on my emotional issues!"? Or do you think that the existing tendency
is to revert to existing tendencies, which is to run off to some monastery somewhere, which is
exactly what I did, for many years. It is very easy. But, as I say, the intention here is to recover
skipped steps!

Q: - ? A: Well, I don't really understand how you are using the word transcendence here.

Q: - ? A: Yes, but the point in this particular case is that there has already been a bunch of
lifetimes in which the understanding of life at a transcendent level has already occurred! It is not
going to go away. It has been realized and doesn't change. The deal here is not what already
has been understood. The primary issue here is to confront emotion as emotion.

Q: - ? A: It was not in a family dynamic as such. There was another past life that I held, that I
was considered a spiritual heretic, as a child. It is no different than... How many of you are
familiar with the story of Ramakrishna, as an example. When he was a child, he was considered
crazy. That was because he was fully enlightened at birth, and as a child his consciousness was so
full that all he could do was to hit his head against a post all the time. And of course, even in
Indian culture they thought this was nuts. And they actually took him away to the countryside
and tied him to a post. And similarly, in another past life I had the same kind of deal going as a

113
child, and in that life I was put in a mental institution. But the mental institutions of old were not
like the mental institutions of today, even though today they are bad enough. And in that
particular institution, what is now my current life mother was a man in that life, who was in
charge of that institution. And in that context I was sexually abused by that man. But that was
not based on a specific cause between me and that man in that life. That was a function of 1)
being in that environment and 2) that man of his own structure or volition having that kind of
sexual perversity within himself. He was acting out that way not just at me, but also at other
boys in that institution. That life (which was just a few lives back) was the beginning of this Moon
squaring Nodal axis bit, i.e. the Soul trying to say, wait a minute, I have to go backwards in order
to go forwards! So the answer to your question is, no, there was no specific personal karma. That
is called evolutionary necessity.

Q: - ? A: No. It is the Pluto position itself which has an implied limitation at birth, in order to
metamorphose beyond that limitation (= re-embrace the polarity point), and by embracing the
polarity point it automatically metamorphoses the limitations in the natal position of Pluto: 1 - 2 –
3.

Q: - ? A: Not at all. My Soul had a knowledge that this person in past life did these sorts of things
to me for my own evolutionary reasons, not karmic reasons. And in the current life that she was
born into, I wasn't yet reincarnated, so I simply tapped that Soul to repeat the experience.

Q: -? A: I would create karma here if in fact I wanted to hit and try to abuse her in some fashion.
If you start going through traditional therapy, they are going to say, “Go, go confront that
abuser!” There are many cases in which that is exactly the wrong thing to do. And, in fact, if I
would have done that, I would just have been generating karma. And it would have been very
easy for such a person to feel victimized, especially with the Pisces Moon. I simply refused to feel
victimized. I understood the intention even when I was young.

Q: - ? A: But I never had to transcend it, because I never accepted being a victim. As a matter of
fact, what actually happened to me as a child, when all that was going on, was that the angel
Mary (the mother of Jesus) came into my consciousness and took me up as her son and took me
literally in her arms. That is how I survived childhood. That is actually what happened.

That just shows you that when you start playing astrological detective, it simply becomes
fascinating. And each case is unique to itself. This is again why the stupid cookbooks...!

Q: - ? A: Just look at the symbolism itself. If you have a planet squaring the Nodal axis,

114
psychologically speaking you are looking at flip-flop behavior. The Soul typically actualizes
dynamics or experiences associated with one Node for a certain amount of time. Then it freaks
out and will then act upon the behaviors, the dynamics, symbolized in the other Node. It is
repulsed, and back and forth it goes.

NODE RULERS. Each Node will have a planetary ruler. So just as Pluto will draw upon the South
Node in past life to actualize the desires resident to it in a conscious, egocentric way, (the
egocentric structure, the ego), the South Node itself is actualized by the location (house, sign) of
its planetary ruler.

Example: back to the 9th house Pluto and South Node in 7th, the planetary ruler being in 4th. Let
us put it in a consensus state. Herein lies an individual who is asking religious questions (in a
consensus state it is now religious, not cosmological - even though we could argue that religion
deals with cosmology), and has been just as dependent (South Node in 7th, the signature of
dependency) on an external teacher. With that planetary ruler in 4th in a consensus state, do you
think it would be illogical to consider that that teacher was the parent? A simple example: the
Mormons up here in Utah, a person born in a consensus state, Pluto in 9th, South Node in 7th,
ruler in 4th. That child will have an absolute identity with the religious teachings of the parental
environment. If we take that same symbolism, but now put it in an individuated state, now what
are we looking at?

Q: - ? A: Right away, because of the nature of the square, you can look at it from an individuated
point of view. A Soul who will be exposed to the religious teachings of the parents, but early on
will rebel and reject against it. And from that point of rebellion and rejection, will try to replace
that parental need (i.e. the ruler still being in 4th) with a defacto parent. Which we can call some
sort of teacher, who is reflecting the information or knowledge that he in fact is seeking, and
making them very close in their life.

So the location of the planetary ruler of the South Node is just as important to consider as the
South Node is, relative to Pluto. Here again you see the law of the trinity: Pluto, South Node, and
its planetary ruler. Similarly, from the point of view of Pluto's polarity point, we have North Node
and its planetary ruler. Uh, oh, trinity all over again. When you put three and three together,
guess what? It equals the six primary chakras. From a Chinese point of view, it equals the
hexagram. The truth of natural law will reflect itself everywhere.

So the planetary ruler of the North Node, where you find it by house and sign, is telling you how
that evolving ego, reflected in the North Node, is consciously actualized by the location of its

115
planetary ruler (house, sign, and aspects it is making). Now this (Pluto + polarity point + South
Node and North Node + location of rulers) is the fundamental karmic/evolutionary axis that exists
in all birth charts. It is the fundamental structure upon which everything else is referred. From
the point of view of analogy, it is the foundation in the house. If you don't have a foundation,
you've got no house. Now this will be particularly important to grasp. Why? Let's say we have
got Venus in Virgo in some chart. Let us understand that any sign is an archetype. The simple
definition of archetype is an original design that we all respond to in the same way. Aries is an
archetype. But, within an archetype there is a spectrum. It is not just one thing. So if we are
looking at Venus in Virgo, how do you know at what point in the spectrum that is orientated? If
you can understand the primary evolutionary/karmic axis in the chart, you will know exactly
where it's pointed in that archetypal spectrum, and you will then be able to understand any other
planet in that birth chart in terms of what point in the spectrum, the sign it is in etc., it is
orientated to. If you start combining this with the planetary method of interpretation, the house
method of interpretation, the planetary phases, etc., you are starting to generate a precise
analysis.

THE FOUR NATURAL EVOLUTIONARY CONDITIONS/STATES

that a Soul can be within. You can observe them in the context of any society, meaning it
functions beyond astrology. Astrology will reflect this. 70% of any collective mass/society are
being what is called in a CONSENSUS STATE. The underlying archetype in a consensus state is
Saturn, i.e. the need to conform, the desire to conform. The simplest way to illustrate consensus:
if I find myself in a consensus state, and a scientist in this society tells me astrology is irrelevant,
bogus science, pseudo science, then this becomes my opinion without thinking. I conform. Now,
there are three stages within the consensus state (there will be three stages in every natural
condition. This is the new material that was not in the Pluto book).

The first stage consensus is very analogous to the worker bees in a beehive. Think about that
as a symbol: essentially mindless behavior. These people's level of self-awareness or
consciousness is minimal. Essentially their reality and their view of reality, their awareness of
reality, stops at the tip of their nose. So this constitutes the bulk of the working class, the
workers, that in a very large way sustain society, the collective.

The second stage consensus will correlate with Souls within the consensus who now have
desires of ambition or desires to succeed beyond the status of just a common worker. This then
requires, in societies like this, necessary education, to get the social credentials creating the
social authorization to move to higher levels of social position and status. This stage implies
more awareness. These are the people that occupy all sorts of positions: the CEO of a bank, the
university professor, the self-employed business entrepreneur, etc.

116
The third stage consensus will produce the political leaders. Why? Because they have evolved
through the first two stages. They have learned how the system works, and thus are able to
manipulate the system to their advantage, relative to their desire. These can also be high profile
people in society. Now this stage may in fact be the origin of the blind leading the blind.

INDIVIDUATED STATE: 20% of any society or collective mass in Jungian terms will be in an
individuated state. The underlying astrological principle is Uranus, meaning the need to rebel
against or reject the consensus as a defining principle in their overall reality. In the individuated
state, the inner psychological experience, the sense of self at an egocentric level, is defined by the
feeling of being different. Measured against what? The consensus. And in varying degrees of
intensity, cultural alienation, not knowing where to fit. Now, given the sheer fact that all of you
are sitting here in astrological gig, you can assume at minimum that you are in the individuated
state. Why? Because you've dared to challenge the consensus. If you find yourself in consensus
circles and that very same scientist tells you astrology is a pseudo science, you say, “No, thank
you, I will think for myself.”

The first stage individuated can be very very problematic. Why? What has just preceded is a
whole bunch of lifetimes evolving through the consensus. So in this first stage, yes, the Soul still
has this feeling of being different, it still feels some degree of cultural
alienation, it is still inwardly an independent thinker or wanting to think independently, making
independent discovery. And yet, because it has just been emerging from the consensus, this
feeling of being different generates a sense of social insecurity, not knowing where to fit.

Now since most of us don't want to feel insecure, in this particular stage, the typical reaction is to
compensate (compensation is a Jupiter principle) for the feeling of being different. And the
compensation manifests as trying to adopt the external appearance of normalcy in such a way
that the Soul then effectively creates a living lie, a fundamental discrepancy between their inner
reality and their circumstantial reality. These people become highly frustrated. Why? They know
they are in a living lie. Through the act of compensation, i.e. adopting the external appearance of
normalcy, the essence of their circumstantial reality looks like everyone else's. And because they
are attracting people into their life that are reflections of
the consensus, even their marriage partner. And this creates then the emotional psychological
experience “nobody understands me!” And rarely does this type realize they are the cause of
their own frustration at this level.

The second stage individuated is also very problematic. In the second stage, the Soul at this
point is extremely culturally alienated. The feeling of being different is fundamentally emphasized.

117
On an inner psychological basis, they feel totally disconnected from the society. Most feel totally
disconnected from their parents. The psychological experience at an egocentric level, now being
fundamentally different and culturally alienated, now creates a psychological reaction called
anger. And within this stage there is still this latent fear, following the progression through the
consensus, relative to the first stage of the individuated, that somehow if they make any
meaningful effort to integrate into the existing society, that society is going to absorb them,
which then re-ignites the alienation, in such a way that these people typically hang out on the
alienated fringes of any society with like minded people (the principle is Uranus), i.e. other
alienated Souls, now hurling critical atom bombs at that very society in order to justify their non-
integration.

Q: - ? A: Well, the reality is that many of these people have normal jobs, just believe in the
vision of Gaia. They are not all hanging out on the culturally alienated edge on a 24-hour day
basis, the ones that do fit this category. And many of these types will become the political
revolutionaries of the times. Why? They want to radically overhaul the system. In other words,
within this stage some of these people will form small group collectives, in which they justify their
alienation together (through the criticism of the consensus) and come up with all these neat plans
and schemes and conspiracies. Others within this category will forever remain a group of one.
They don't want to band with anything. It is very problematic here.

So the question becomes, in this condition, how in the world does the Soul evolve beyond it?
Because this is a very dynamic, drastic kind of psychology. And the answer is this (which actually
leads into the third stage individuated), 1) once the Soul realizes that this evolved individuality
can never be re-absorbed. Why? It is a function of evolution. They will not go backwards, even
though it is a fear. 2) many of these people have relevant vision about the future, where things
should go. So the realization is this, that the value is in the effort, not the outcome.

Once this occurs, it evolves the person into the third stage individuated. In this stage these
become the social scientists or the social inventors, the social geniuses, that exist in any society.
The types of people who, based on their uniqueness and their genius, pull the system forward,
whatever their station in life may be. Every society at all times has such people. Which then
progressively moves, evolves towards the spiritual. A classic example of the third stage of the
individuated is Einstein.

This now moves into the SPIRITUAL STATE or condition. Because see, in the third stage of the
individuated, the Soul has now realized the value is in the effort. They realize that their
individuality cannot be re-absorbed by society, and they have learned how to gracefully integrate

118
into the very society that they don't feel part of. This is no longer a major issue. This moves into
the spiritual state. Roughly 3 - 4% of any collective body or society will be in a spiritual
condition. This is not religion. Religion is for the consensus. Remember, consensus conforms. We
are right, they are wrong; we are superior, they are inferior. Which is why you have throughout
history religious wars. True spirituality, as we said yesterday, does not put down any other valid
form of spirituality, but will put down invalid forms, and necessarily so. True spirituality is
universal in nature, not sectarian. That is the primary difference. The spiritual condition
correlates with the archetype of Neptune.

The psychology in the first stage spiritual, the Soul in the first stage, is defined through the
principle of devotion, the archetype of devotion. Why? In this state of evolution, the Soul is
beginning to realize that it is connected to the entire universe, God. And the ego from this point
of view is perceived to be utterly teeny, small and irrelevant, which induces the psychology of
devotion and humility. From an Eastern point of view this is to be called Bhakti yoga. Bhakti is
devotion. And these become, in this stage, the people who have active desires to be of benefit to
humanity, or in some way to be of service in a sincere and pure way to other people. Many
spiritual healers are in this condition. Psychologically these people appear to be very very
sincere, very very innocent, very very pure, and fundamentally honest. They are almost childlike,
no matter what their chronological age is. And in this condition, psychologically speaking, they
have no real boundary. This is one of the problems in this modern type of society, because now
Neptune and Uranus are going through Capricorn, and another recent buzz word in therapeutic
circles has been "to define your boundaries". In a spiritual state there is no such thing, by its
very nature, Pisces. I mean when you deal with a person who has a Pisces Moon in this kind of
condition, they don't know where they start and stop. There is no boundary.

The second stage spiritual is very problematic. Why? Because when you evolve into this stage,
the dynamic, the Soul (and this is an inherent structure that God has created, believe it or not)
now becomes full of spiritual delusions of grandeur. The ego is the reverse now of being humble.
It has now got the ego puffed up as a spiritual balloon, in such a way that these types feel and
are inwardly convinced that they have some unique toehold into the truth, and will attempt to
convince and convert, a la Billy Graham, all others, in order to support and justify these spiritual
delusions of grandeur. Now this covers the David Koresh's, etc. How you know these people (I
mean it should be obvious to all, but unfortunately it is not): there is a fundamental discrepancy
between how they are conducting their personal life and the nature of their teachings. I mean,
obviously many people who have read Rajneesh's material got hooked by the words. Many of the
words sounded great. He is a Sag. But let's agree, Sag can also be master sales people. When a
Sag believes in something he can sell anything.

119
So in this second stage, by God's law, these types of Souls are destined to experience a
fundamental spiritual downfall. In the case of Rajneesh, this man had five planets in Capricorn,
the lead planet being Mars, and when the first transit of Neptune (God) hit that Mars, that
specifically correlated with the initial downfall of his community in Oregon, when all of a sudden
everything became exposed. Which then led into him being deported from the country. Check
that out: Capricorn, Mars, Neptune - being deported from the country. Once, when under the
influence of a particular painkiller which also acts as a truth serum, he admitted to one of his
bodyguards, "Thank God I no longer have to pretend to be enlightened". This characterizes the
second stage of the spiritual condition, and it is destined that these people have a spiritual
downfall in one way or another. Take the case of Claire Prophet, making these predictions of
Armageddon. It is on the following day, it does not happen, it is revised, it does not happen, etc.
Or the Reverend Moons of this world, who pretend to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ (he is
simply a man out of the consensus, at its last stage).

Q: - ? A: Not at all. That is religion, not spirituality. Billy Graham does not have God-realization,
he has scriptural realization.

Q: - ? A: But David Koresh, like all of us, had other past lifetimes. It is no different than Jesus'
betrayer, Judas, in whose Soul there is a lot of inner realization. But based on his specific karma.
In fact, I can tell you from direct inner experience that from the moment that he betrayed Jesus
(even though it was fated and determined by God that all this happened), even up until the last
century, that Soul in all succeeding lives continued to spiritualize. He lived in various monasteries
over many lives. But even as of the last century, he still was working out his karma linked with
money. And I tell you that from personal experience. And that should give you some indication of
how long it can take sometimes to work out certain dynamics.

So after the spiritual downfall, what this means is that the Soul based on this dynamic is
rehumiliating itself in order to (Neptune) re-purify. When this occurs it finally leads to the last
stage of the spiritual condition, the third stage.

In the third stage spiritual there is a progressive evolution from being what I called a guru versus
an avatar. Guru means God-realized, but believe me, there are levels of God-realization. As an
example, for those who understand what samadhi is, there are seven different states of samadhi
realization, which reflect the seven chakras. So the first degree in the third stage will in fact
produce God-realized Souls who are meant on a teaching basis to work with a limited amount of
people, and whose specific teachings only survive their own lifetime for a limited amount of time.
This will finally evolve to where the Soul becomes an avatar. The sign of an avatar is that their
teachings impact and affect millions, and their teachings survive for centuries beyond their own
physical life. Examples: people like Jesus, Lao Tse, Yogananda, Ramakrishna, and so on.

120
The FIRST STATE OF EVOLUTION is what are called in my book the dimly evolved. Now
generally these are Souls evolving into human-type consciousness from other forms of
consciousness. That does not mean that human consciousness is superior to that consciousness,
it simply means human consciousness. Keeping in mind as we said the other day, consciousness
permeates and pervades everything you can call reality. The fundamental difference in
consciousness is when consciousness becomes aware that it is conscious.

When you deal with the idea of self-awareness or consciousness being aware that it is conscious,
what we are really talking about (keeping in mind that there was an original point of creation and
agreeing that that which has created everything is in everything) is God being aware of its totality
through self-awareness, at every level of the creation. That is why we are all aspects of divinity.

Dimly evolved. What this means is consciousness coming into human-type consciousness from
other forms of consciousness. The type of reality we have here has typically come out of animal
life. Now when this occurs for the first or relatively first time, the consciousness in human form
will not have a high degree of self-conception or self-awareness. That is why it is dimly evolved,
a basic sense of occupying time and space. This type of Soul is very innocent, very simplistic,
inherently buoyant and naturally happy. Why? They know nothing else. This will also correlate
with modern terminologies, things like cretinism, mental retardation, and the like. (This
correlates with Moon and Mars simultaneously, because it correlates with the primary brain.)
Now, there are situations of course, through karmic cause, that a Soul who has already evolved to
whatever state can de-evolve, and through karmic requirement be in this condition. A classic
example of this is Hitler. In any case, when this occurs, that Soul in this condition, rather than
being buoyant, simple, innocent, happy, is now angry, in various degrees of rage. Why? They
know different and they are now experiencing a limitation. If you go into some hospitals, as an
example, where they work with mentally retarded people, you will see what I mean. There is one
type that is just incredibly happy and innocent, etc. The other type is raging, making problems,
throwing things, wanting to beat up the parent. Beyond this specific behavior, how you can tell is
when you look in the pupil of the eye. The one who has been de-evolved through karmic
requirement, when you look into the middle of the pupil you will see a brilliant point of white
light. And for the Soul that is just evolving into this thing, there is a film over the eye.

Now these are the four natural evolutionary conditions. And again all you have to do is go into
any society, do your Uranian detachment, make your observation, and you will find these
categories. When you apply this to astrology, the birth chart, you cannot know who is who. Once
again, you have to do observation and correlation. The simplest way to do this with a client is
what I do with all my clients: the first thing I say is "What do you want to know, what questions

121
do you have, what information do you need, why are you here?". The very nature of what they
ask for will tell you the reality. When I have a client who is asking me "When can I expect my
BMW?", and the next client is saying "When can I expect enlightenment?", there is an observed
difference.

Q: - ? A: If the person asks that kind of question, you have to be able to determine the degree of
attachment that is going on in that kind of question. Take a male who has been evolving to these
different conditions. Let's now assume that that male is in a spiritual condition. A male who is in
a spiritual condition is simultaneously actualizing his male/female. This is a female word (?). And
as you move further into these conditions, you are ultimately orientating to that which is
becoming natural. So take the case of a society like this, that is a suit-and-tie type society. The
evolved male is going to identify much more with the Levis and T-shirt. Why? It is natural. But
if they have to wear a suit and tie, they will treat it as a game, not attached or defined by the suit
and tie. Similarly, the person who is coming in with the simultaneous question of enlightenment
and BMW's, it may be a situation through evolutionary karmic need. Maybe they have had a
series of lifetimes of poverty or physical destitution, they may want to compensate that by having
some sort of darned possession. But the issue here is the degree of attachment.

Q: -? A: But I would say, to be utterly attached to the idea of enlightenment is just fine!

So most of us would agree that these four natural states exist. And again, you have to ask your
client, “What is it that you want to know?” Believe me, their questions, their language will tell
you where it is up.

Q: - ? A: Sure, but nonetheless if you are sitting there as an astrologer and you are intuiting that
there is also something very much deeper happening in that person than just the immediacy of
the crisis, you can also be very adept at asking your own questions to that client: "What about
these perspectives over here, what do you think about this as a potential solution?". So the point
is that you have to adjust your presentation to a person, to reflect their evolutionary condition.
The language you are going to use to somebody in the consensus is fundamentally different than
somebody in the individuated state or the spiritual.

So here again is another example of throwing out the cookbooks, the "One size fits all". This is
the problem in modern Western astrology. Most people who go to astrology classes in the
Western world are simply exposed to some astrology teacher who is a victim of his own reading,
who now simply asks you to memorize a series of characteristics relative to different signs and
houses. As if life comes down to characteristics! And descriptive statements! Now, is that

122
providing any viable or valuable service? And all too often, because of societies like this, the
astrologer somehow feels that as soon as that person sits there, rather than asking any questions,
they are just going to sit there and make a descriptive statement of the chart, for one hour. And
the person walks out. Now is that any kind of meaningful, co-equal exchange? Is anything really
happening?

Q: - (regarding recovering skipped steps)? A: Yes. Like in my case when I was a kid, that was
emotional cataclysmic stuff and certainly forced me to recover skipped steps! What I didn't say
before is that by having all these kids, that is what allowed me to heal my childhood, in a
vicarious sense. Because the way I have been a parent is in absolute opposition to the way my
parents were parents.

Q: - ? A: No, it is not a matter of the Soul making a choice, it is a pure function of evolution,
itself reflected in desires. And in a specific life you can see a transition, as an example, between
consensus and individuated. There always has to come a llife, one life, in which that kind of
transition is effected, in which the break is made. But when that occurs for a series of lives, there
is still a straddling kind of routine, which is in this case the first stage of the individual. Many of
the clients I see are in that first stage of the individuated, many.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE PLUTO RULES (7-1.14.30)

Pluto Conjunct South Node will mean one of three karmic evolutionary conditions, the first two
of which will be extreme, the third one will be common.

1 - (extreme): a Soul who has utterly and completely avoided, denied the evolutionary intentions
symbolized in the house and sign position of this conjunction. And because there has been a
fundamental resistance to embracing those lessons, the Soul comes into this life karmically and
evolutionarily determined to repeat those past life evolutionary intentions in this life. This can be
very problematic on a psychological level. Why? T hey will sense the wistful promise of the North
Node. And yet, based on karmic evolutionary determination, they are forced to remain within the
conditions implied in the South Node - Pluto conjunction.

Most people, when they come into a life, more or less do fulfill or live out the past life dynamics,
up until around the first Saturn return. It goes right back to the principle of security, self-
consistency, etc. Which is exactly why the first Saturn return, in terms of timing, is so
problematic for most people. Why? They have done nothing to prepare for the current life
purpose. And then the Saturn return happens, and all of a sudden they become aware

123
psychologically that they are feeling stuck within the definitions of the reality which have been
defined from the past. Generally speaking, the first Saturn return correlates with the opportunity
to be released from those past conditions and to begin the actualization of the current life
intentions. But when Pluto is conjunct South Node in this first extreme condition, those past life
conditions cannot be released until the second Saturn return, the majority of the life span. There
can be mitigating conditions that modify this situation, specifically a planet conjunct North Node,
which of course implies an opposition to Pluto. When you see this situation, what you have is a
Soul who is going to reflect the third one of these three karmic evolutionary conditions.

In the third condition you have an element of past life dynamics being relived, and you also have
what is called an element of karmic fruition. And when this is occurring, that releasing can occur
at the first Saturn return. Why? Because there is a planet on the North Node, meaning that Soul
has already been trying to work, struggle free, break free - whatever that planet may be on the
North Node. It shows you through that specific archetypal function and the house it is in, that
they have been trying to break free, but it is not complete yet. So that is a combination of relive
and also fruition. What fruition means, karmic evolutionary fruition (when this is operative), is
that the intentions and motivations have been sufficiently pure, because Pluto correlates with
intentions, motivations, agendas, where I am coming from, desires that fuel it. Fruition here
means that, relative to the conditions symbolized in the Pluto-South Node house, there has been
a degree of evolution that has been pure enough, that they have some special quality or condition
to bring into the life. So there can be this element of reliving from a positive, and a not so great
point of view.

Q: - ? A: The conditions exist simultaneously.

Now when you find Pluto on the South Node and no planet on the North Node, in this particular
observed condition (because again you cannot know it from the chart, you have to talk to the
person - and believe me, that person will be manifesting a high degree of frustration with rage
and anger, because they feel like in a box that they cannot get out of), then right away, second
Saturn return.

2 - (extreme): This can be a situation of absolute karmic fruition and evolutionary fruition,
meaning again that the motives and intentions fueled by desires have been sufficiently pure, that
they bring in some special capacity or ability, a resource (Pluto) developed thoroughly from other
lifetimes. And in this karmic evolutionary condition, the requirement is to disseminate or share
that resource in some way with others. Now this also creates a high degree of frustration, even
though it is a positive circumstantial condition in life. Why? Because the person has been doing it

124
for so darned long. They want to do something else. And here again, unless you see a mitigating
factor, the second Saturn return routine.

3 - (the most common): again having an element of reliving as well as of fruition. And unless you
find a qualifying mitigating condition, i.e. a planet on North Node, here again, second Saturn
return.

Pluto Conjunct North Node: a Soul who prior to this life has already been operating in the area
of metamorphic evolution, i.e the actual house and sign that the North Node is in. And they are
meant to continue in that direction in this life. In this case there is no polarity point. Everything
is focused and channeled through that Pluto-North Node conjunction. It is truly the bottom line in
this case. (interesting example: Kriyananda versus SRF (Self-Realization Fellowship), see 7-
1.23.00)

Pluto Square Nodal Axis: again, in evolutionary terms this is called skipped steps. Again, the
Soul has been vacillating, flip-flopping back and forth in the areas that South Node and North
Node are in, and their planetary rulers, without either area being thoroughly developed and/or
integrated within the Soul. And in evolutionary terms, you are looking at the evolutionary karmic
requirement of recovering those skipped steps before evolution can proceed, move forwards.
Here it is a case of going backwards in order to go forwards. Now this principle will also apply
when you find any planet squaring the nodal axis. And any planet you find on the South Node
will come under the category of those three possibilities - absolute relive, fruition, or a
combination of both.

For example, my case. I have Mars on my South Node. I was born with anger. And in my very
last life I was a Pueblo Indian boy and I was killed by the white people. And the first thing my
mother told me I tried to do was rip off the darned white skin. That is anger at birth.

So, when you find Pluto square the Nodal axis the issue becomes, what Node to consistently
integrate through. Here you are having a polarity point. So the issue is to develop consistency
with respect to recovering the skipped steps. The skipped steps are demonstrated in three places
- South Node, North Node, and the actual house that Pluto is in. Triad yet again, trinity yet
again. That constitutes the skipped steps. Now, when those skipped steps are going to be
recovered, the question becomes, what Node to consistently develop in order to create
consistency, constancy. And the answer is this - the Node that last formed a conjunction with
Pluto. Example: Pluto at 5° Leo, North Node at 5° Scorpio, South Node at 5° Taurus. Now,

125
keeping in mind that the mean motion of the Nodes is retrograde, which Node last formed the
conjunction with Pluto? South Node. So, here it is the South Node and its planetary ruler, where
it is located, that must be consistently developed. This will then mean that the polarity point of
Pluto, the North Node and the location of its ruler, will all now be developed with respect to the
South Node.

Ruler of the North Node Conjunct the South Node means, we are right back into the
condition of relive and/or fruition.

Ruler of the South Node Conjunct the North Node. Just let yourself intuit the symbolism.
Think of the symbolism. The symbol that is symbolizing the past is currently conjunct the North
Node, meaning, past life conditions being repeated in this life in order to re-orientate those
conditions to a new pattern of being.

Ruler of the South Node Conjunct the North Node and Ruler of the North Node Conjunct
the South Node. Intuit the symbolism!
Q: - ? A: The past and the future are simultaneous here, aren't they? What is the intention?
Q: - ? A: It is an absolute relive. In fact, when you see or counsel this type of person, they will
look like as if from another time, literally. They do not feel they belong in this time, is a typical
comment.

Ruler of the North Node Opposite the Ruler of the South Node. Intuit the symbolism.
Don't analyze, just intuit the symbolism. The simplest way to say it - their past is opposing their
future, or the future is opposing their past. Now that is the symbolism. What is the intention? -
On a phasal level, it is Full phase. What is the intention in the Full phase? To listen to other
people, in order to know how to integrate this dynamic. See how you put in now another method
within the method, to understand what is going on here? Now you understand why I spent so
much time laying the foundation.

Ruler of the North Node Conjunct the Ruler of the South Node. Intuit the symbolism!
Q: - ? A: It is the same symbolism of the past and future in combination, but it is now specific to
the house and sign and aspects of this conjunction.
Q: That the future will carry out the same menu as the past?
A: As it was in the past! Yes! In a new way. A classic example: a composer who in the last
couple of lives was composing music. He is meant to continue composing music, but in a new
way.

126
Pluto conjunct North Node and yet Ruler of North Node conjunct the South Node.
Let's intuit the symbolism. It means that the Soul has already been working in this area of
evolutionary development prior to this life, i.e. Pluto conjunct North Node, but there is something
left over from a prior cycle that has not been resolved or finished. What that is, is determined by
the planetary nature of the planet on the South Node and the house it is in. And that the current
intention is to bring that forwards, with everything else.

South Node and Pluto in same house (7-1.59.50): in old-time astrology this was called a
conjunction "in mundo", meaning conjunction by sign. When you see that kind of symbolism, all
you have to remember is that prior to this life or the last couple of lives, Pluto in all likelihood was
in fact conjunct South Node, and that has progressively now been moving away from it.

Q: Moon conjunct South Node and Ruler of South Node (Neptune) conjunct North Node.
A: Well, intuit the symbolism. First of all, the ruler of the South Node conjunct the North Node
means that the North Node has already been in operation prior to this life. And now we have
Moon conjunct South Node, which is in opposition to Neptune. This is the real issue. The
underlying issue here is a very specific issue. What this typically will correlate to is a Soul, who
prior to this life has had fundamental desires to spiritualize their consciousness. And with that
Ruler of the South Node on the North Node, there has been a great degree of inner temptation to
break free from all worldly obligations that are specific to family duties. In other words, there has
been a temptation to live the life of the monastic, to say “I am so darned tired of all this stuff, I'm
just going to break free and go live in some specialized, rarefied environment”, Moon/Neptune.
And yet, Moon being on South Node is showing you that, karmically speaking, there are, in fact,
still specific karmic obligations linked with the family and family members that are being carried
forward into this life. They still have to be dealt with.

There are many ways to spiritualize. The two primary ways are the path of the monastic and the
path of the householder. Now the evolutionary solution here, like it or not, occurs through the
path of the householder, because of the nature of the Moon being on the South Node.

So, anyway, there can be any manner of these kinds of variables. But if you can relate these to
the foundations I gave you in the last few days, you can understand the intention. First, all you
have to do is intuit the symbolism, then put that intuition against the foundations, and you can
understand what it means.

127
 PLUTO ASPECTS TO PLANETS (7-1.47.50)

Any planet that Pluto is forming an aspect to is coming under a Plutonian intention to evolve the
existing limitations defined in the symbol of the planet. Example, Pluto square Venus. That is a
Soul that is trying to metamorphose all kinds of prior patterns of how to be in a relationship.
Metamorphosing value systems, what means what. It is under an intention here, and therefore it
is going to have a Plutonian vibration to it. It is going to be intensely emphasized. Any planet
that is aspected by Pluto is reflecting an intention of the Soul to metamorphose the preexisting
definition (that is, behavior, dynamics) associated with the nature of that planet.

Now, here is the deal from an evolutionary view. With Pluto, say, at 5° Leo, we could have Venus
at 15° Scorpio or at 25° Libra. If we accept 10° as an orb, we have a square in both cases. Now
the question is, do you feel or think or intuit that the person's orientation to this Pluto/Venus
square would be the same in both cases? The answer is, no. From the point of view of evolution,
if you saw that square with Venus at 25° Libra, this would then mean (if you accept the 10° orb)
that would be the first life in which this evolutionary intention to metamorphose preexisting
dynamics linked with relationships and value associations is occurring. Whereas, Venus at 15°
Scorpio would presume and mean a whole series of other lifetimes have occurred in which that
Soul has already been working on this intention and they are now at the threshold of being
released from this intention.

So when you see this in a chart, you'll have to adjust your understanding, thus presentation to
the individual. It reflects the principle of evolution. Think how magical it could be to that client if
you saw the final orb occurring and you say: "Guess what? This is the last life for a long time that
you have to deal with this Pluto/Venus square!". They are going to jump out of their seat. Now,
conversely, if you see that square that is relatively new, you don't want to sit there and tell the
client! But, on the other hand, if you tell them what the intention is in this here square, and they
make the conscious intention to work with it, guess what? That's going to accelerate the evolution
of that function quickly.

It might not have to be as methodical as "10° out, 9° out, ... absolute, etc.": you can jump-start
it.

Q: If you tighten the orb, isn't that a more specific possibility for acceleration?
A: When you find that absolute aspect, that is the threshold. It has come to a head.

128
Q: So that every step taken...
A: Yes.

Now the amount of aspects (Jeffrey means the number of aspects) that exists between Pluto and
other planets in the chart, simply correlates to how much, from the Soul's point of view, the Soul
has been deciding to work upon itself at a metamorphic level, evolutionarily speaking. Again,
through observation. If you're looking at a chart in which Pluto is aspecting every planet, and at
the next chart/person with only one or two aspects to Pluto, there is going to be an observed
difference in these persons' lives. Meaning the Pluto that is aspecting everything (going back to
the principle of evolution) will have many more cataclysmic events in that life than the one that
has only got Pluto aspecting a few things. And we have to be able to look at this without
judgment. It is simply what the Soul has intended. In the case where Pluto is only aspecting a few
planets, all Souls have to have a break some time. We can't always stand on that burner!

PLUTO (AND OTHER PLANETS) RETROGRADE (8-0.03.10)

Pluto is retrograde half the year, every year, and therefore generally or roughly half the people on
the planet at any point in time have Pluto retrograde in their natal chart. It is a very interesting
symbolism. To understand this we need to first understand the archetype of retrogradation in the
first place. The first archetype it correlates to is the Jungian archetype of individuation. To
individuate. As a result, the retrograde symbolism or archetype creates a psychological necessity
to rebel, withdraw, retreat, or reject the status quo expectation of how the nature of the planet
that is retrograde is expected to operate. By creating the necessary psychological detachment
from the status quo (i.e. "I can't identify with it"), it automatically ignites and stimulates the
individuation process. The individuation process, from the point of view of retrogradation, is
never complete. It is analogous to peeling off the layers of an onion to arrive at the core.
Retrogradation is a perpetual process.

Now, karmically speaking, the second archetype of retrogradation correlates to an evolutionary

and karmic necessity of having to repeat or re-live past life dynamics or conditions that are
specific to the nature of the planet that is retrograde in this life, the intention being to finish and
resolve. Example, Venus retrograde. This is a classical signature in which the Soul has
determined, prior to the birth, to repeat or relive key relationships or friendships of an intimate
nature with individuals it has known in prior lives, in which something was not finished or
resolved.

It is like a closed circuit, in which the person is repeating past life dynamics. And this, by the
way, can be, in fact, psychologically frustrating for the individual. It is kind of the same

129
experience as having Pluto on the South Node. I mean, after all, think about it, how do you like
to keep going in the same circle all the time? At some point it is going, “Wait a minute, I would
like a way out of this. I'd like to try something different, God. Thank you!”

This principle can also apply when any planet goes retrograde through transit. At a collective
level, when a planet goes retrograde through transit, it also has a collective implication, meaning
this dynamic is experienced within the collective that are repeating here, coming back to life, in
order to be redefined or re-experienced in order to resolve them, to create a new pattern as a
result. And it can certainly have a personal application. For example, it is not uncommon when
Venus goes retrograde during transit in our solar system that people on Earth then begin to
repeat dynamics in an existing relationship, which they may have felt they have already dealt
with. And when this occurs, guess what? It simply means no, they have not been totally
resolved. It can also be a time frame in which the Soul re-attracts to itself people that it has
known in another time, either another time in this life (somebody suddenly comes back into the
life). or somebody that has been linked in past lives that re-appears in the life.

This can also occur through the nature of solar returns. And the symbol that is now retrograde
means for that particular year there is something being repeated in order to be redefined,
resolved and finished. And also through progression.

Pluto retrograde natally means collectively that half the people, all the time, no matter what the
specific evolutionary condition is, in some fashion are not buying into status quo expectations. In
some way, this emphasis within the Soul is needing to rebel, reject, etc. This, then, on a
collective level allows the evolutionary intentions of the planet to proceed. Remember, the Soul
has two co-existing desires. One to separate, one to return. We can all know this from our own
experience by way of being able to actualize whatever separating desires we have. We then have
a sense of satisfaction. This is soon replaced by dissatisfaction, i.e. the sense of something more.
Pluto retrograde emphasizes the psychology of dissatisfaction. And that puts more of an
emphasis on the desire to return. And that even in consciousnesses that are not conceiving it this
way, it is simply the immediate psychological experience of cyclically perpetual dissatisfaction.

PLUTO'S FOUR WAYS TO EFFECT EVOLUTIONARY NECESSITIES

Two of these are cataclysmic, two are not.

1 - The most common way that the Soul effects its evolution is to form relationships with symbols
or situations or people that symbolize to the Soul (in most cases unconsciously) something that it

130
desires or feels that it needs, which in its own current estimation it does not yet have or possess.
By forming a relationship to the symbol, situation, or person, a Plutonian osmosis takes place, in
which the person, through osmosis, absorbs into itself that which it is forming a relationship to.
Thus a metamorphosis of the existing limitations.

Example: at some point in this life you all became aware of your desire or interest to understand
or study astrology. By forming a relationship to the symbolic language of astrology, an osmosis is
taking place, which you have brought into yourself in some fashion. The knowledge of astrology,
which has then metamorphosed your existing limitations. The most common way that Souls do
this is to simply form a relationship to another human being. In most cases, Souls form
relationships to other human beings, others who represent or symbolize something that we feel
that we need which in our current estimation we do not have, and vice versa. This becomes the
potential breeding ground, because in relationships (let's face it), we always have to confront our
existing limitations. Which is why Pluto correlates specifically to the nature of confrontation.

Confrontations at a positive level have the effect of metamorphosing our limitations. Via
relationship there is an inherent desire in all Souls to merge with the partner, and vice versa.
Pluto correlates with merging or yoga. Merging clearly implies a metamorphosis of existing
limitations. The problem in cultures like this is that these sorts of cultures, as a cultural model
via relationship, promote codependency. So we have this natural merging instinct of the Soul
with another person, and this is done through codependency. You see the potential problems that
are created here, "I can't live without you!", "I am going to die if you leave!", and all this manure.
Merging can be healthy, but only when both people have achieved self-reliance. You have to
remember that the natural polarity sign to Scorpio or Pluto is Taurus. And that to truly be in a
relationship, in a psychologically healthy way, we must always try to minimize our projected
needs/dependencies, and always strive to learn how to identify and supply our own needs, so that
the resulting psychological attitude of Pluto becomes, “Now I am just here because I want to be,
not because of need or compulsion to be.” A fundamental difference. Until this evolution is
arrived at, this is one of the potential causal factors in emotional and psychological manipulations
between people in relationship. It is a causal factor in trying to be mutually possessed,
controlled. The dynamics of domination, the dynamics of feeling threatened when the partner
simply wants to do something for their own individual development. And, of course, it serves as a
breeding ground of use and using people for our own purposes, and vice versa. Because of this
kind of dynamic, typically people, particularly in decades like this, will only sustain the
relationship for the duration of the need that brought them into it, which then becomes a causal
factor in experiencing emotional betrayal, abandonment and/or loss.

131
All of us, through evolutionary time, have experienced these sorts of dynamics. Which is why all
of us are born, in varying degrees of emphasis, with natural fears of loss, betrayal or
abandonment. Which is exactly why Scorpio, of itself, based on these dynamics, requires proof!
“Where are you coming from, what do you want from me, what are your intentions, what are your
motivations?” So, in any case, this is one of the ways that Pluto accomplishes its evolutionary
needs. Most of the time this is non-cataclysmic.

2 - Another way that Pluto causes its evolutionary requirements to occur, and this will now be a
cataclysmic way, is when the Soul and the personality it creates becomes overly identified with
the person, situation, or life condition, to the extent that no more growth can occur. Now, when
this happens and evolutionary change is determined, the Soul will simply program loss, the
famous rug being removed from the feet. This is called emotional cataclysm, or emotional shock.
Example: Nixon and Watergate.

Now, emotional cataclysms, again, always produce mutation, an acceleration of evolutionary

growth. In most cases, through these cataclysms, the perspective as to why it is occurring rarely
occurs during the cataclysmic moments themselves. Most of the time the perspective of "why"
occurs when the dust settles.

3 - Another way that Pluto effects its evolutionary requirements is that at key points in our
journey, we can become aware of a latent capacity, a latent ability, or a latent potential. In other
words, something erupts from the subconscious. A new thought form, a new awareness, a new
desire, that creates the awareness of latent capacity. And, as the Soul acts upon that latent
capacity, it then metamorphoses the existing limitations of its inner and outer reality. For most
this is non-cataclysmic. Example: when Jimmy Carter decided to run for President of the U.S.,
Pluto at that time was transiting his Sun.

4 - The last way. This can be extremely psychologically and circumstantially difficult. It is a
situation wherein, through the person's evolutionary development, there comes a moment in
which the Soul, the ego it has created, progressively becomes aware that it is not growing, that it
is beginning to stagnate. Life is now simply perceived as going through the motions. The sense of
meaning in life becomes progressively lost. The psychological awareness does not presuppose
awareness of cause. It is only aware of effect.

At this point, the Soul and the ego it creates will progressively emotionally and psychologically
withdraw, internalize from the immediacy of those existing circumstances. This internalization will
become progressively intense, to the point where the person progressively becomes unable to

132
perform the existing obligations and duties and commitments that their existing circumstantial
reality demands. This becomes problematic.

An example of this (this is a real tragic case), a client who was a banker. He was in his early
forties and having the famous Uranus opposition to Uranus (the classic midlife crisis). He was
very, very successful. He was a president of a bank, had a very, very rich house in the richest
section of Seattle, wife, kids, BMW, living essentially the happy life style. And he started to
experience this form of Pluto's way of evolving. Progressively he withdrew from the family,
progressively the credit card companies were repossessing, progressively he did not go to work.
He was fired, the home was taken, there was a divorce. This is cataclysmic. (Finally, however,
there was a happy sequel: see tape 8-0.27.15.)

Another case in recent history. Friedrich Nietzsche, the great German romantic philosopher. In
his time, his work and philosophy were not accepted amongst the common people. The root
principle in his philosophy was the presumption of a Master Race, the Zarathustra concept, that
had the inherent Divine right to lead the masses (which were, in his idea and in our terminology
can be considered, peons). Now, in his time, again, his philosophy was not worth reading it,
basically, i.e., the work has not been acknowledged. So, because his work was not accepted, he
progressively, inwardly withdrew, psychologically, emotionally, because he was feeling
persecuted. At the time this was beginning to occur, in his middle fifties, he had not had sex with
a woman until his late fifties. And from the very first woman he slept with, he got syphilis. Now
these two things in combination, i.e. that intake of the syphilis, in combination with his emotional
psychological withdrawal, led ultimately to the state in the end of his life where he became
absolutely catatonic.

PLUTO IN TRANSIT, PROGRESSION, SOLAR/LUNAR RETURN

Now, I just want to briefly touch an these subjects. In our third segment we are really going to
emphasize them. Simply understand that when a Pluto transit is active, by its transit and/or
inner planet transits through progression aspecting natal Pluto, in evolutionary terms this is called
evolutionary transition, in which the Soul is trying to bring something to culmination, the process
of culmination beginning a new pattern, in evolutionary terms. When Pluto is active through
transit, essentially there is a five year time frame in which that transition is going to be worked
out in one way or another. Through progression you simply determine the time relative to this.
And I would advocate secondary progressions on this basis. The aspect of a secondary
progression is active during one degree prior to absolute aspect, the absolute aspect itself, and
one degree after.

133
You can also view Pluto in solar returns, i.e. it is going to be in a house in the solar return. And
you can also use lunar returns, which are incredibly accurate. Why? Because the Moon correlates
with how we are living our life every minute of the day. It is our most immediate reality. But in
order to understand the nature of Pluto in a solar or lunar return, it must be referred to the natal
chart - the natal Pluto, where the current transit of Pluto is, and/or progressions to Pluto. Once
you understand that framework, then you can understand the implication every month, i.e. where
Pluto is in the solar/lunar return.

Example: Nixon. When Nixon was going through the Watergate gig, ultimately leading to
impeachment, Pluto exactly transited his South Node. Remember that in his natal chart he had a
tenth-house Pluto, the polarity point of which is the fourth house. What you are assuming there
and looking at is that Nixon had a series of prior lifetimes in which his desire structure was
entirely focused on social power, social position and the status therein, in such a way that the
sense of self, the I, the identity, the ego, could not be separated from the social position. One of
the statements he used to like to make all the time is: "I am the President!". And look at the
implications in that psychology: the “I”-structure was identified with the social position. So,
through evolutionary necessity (4 th
house polarity point of Pluto), he had to create a new self-
image, 4th house, that was independent of social position. Keeping in mind that the South Node
was in Libra in 1st, and North Node in Aries in 7th, he had to learn how to socially interact in an
entirely new way. And the ruler of the South Node was in Pisces in 6th. So he had the
experience, relative to that Pluto transit, of all kinds of public humiliation. The ego had to be
fundamentally destroyed. And, even after he was impeached, he could not find an apartment.
Nobody wanted him as a neighbor. This is called social ostracism. But, see, as he did this -
remember yesterday we said when the polarity point is embraced consciously, without
cooperation (it if going to happen anyway), there is a natural rebirth - there was a rebirth in his
10th-house Pluto.

He went through this very hard emotional, psychological metamorphosis linked with loss of social
position and social ostracism ('I can't even rent an apartment'). He spent years in this kind of
social political desert. But, as he moved through this lesson, towards the end of his life he
became resurrected, i.e. the rebirth in the 10th house Pluto.

134
EXAMPLE CHART A (simplified) (8-0.37.12)

Chart: Pluto 11th, Leo Person: woman

polarity pt 5, Aquarius American
SN 7th, Aries white
NN 1 . Libra
st
middle class
Ruler South: Mars, 8th, Taurus no specific religious conditioning
Ruler North: Venus, 12th, Virgo individuated
Libra rising
Pluto square Mars
Venus trine Mars

(commenting on Audience's opinions: 8-1.05.00, some specifics:)

With that Mars square Pluto and the ruler being in 8th, there is a karma linked with commitment,
commitment to relationship. What you are uncovering here is an emotional paradox, linked with
relationship: South Node in Aries and 7th, a natural paradox. Anybody who has this kind of
paradox to the degree that is emphasized in this chart, will inevitably select partners that only
reflect or embody some of the essential needs. It is an unconscious way of guaranteeing an exit
point, either she doing the exiting or being exited. This creates a karma of incomplete
relationships, relative to the dynamic of commitment. Within this is the issue of children, i.e. Pluto
in Leo and Mars in 8th. Obviously there is a dominant sexual nature here. Many of her sexual
liaisons would have come out of professional friendships (Pluto in 11), and out of that will be
produced children, in which the dynamic of commitment is restated. Where you can then see
there has been abandonment of children as a function of abandoning an adult relationship. And,
therefore, this individual will be karmically determined to either work with children professionally
or, through relationship, via pregnancy, bringing back children that she has had in another
lifetime, in order to continue the lesson in commitment. Commitment is going to be an
emphasized archetype in this consciousness.

South Node in Aries in 7th, relative to Mars in Taurus in 8th, relative to the square to Pluto: this is
an egocentric structure from the Soul that is already self-empowered, already aware of its power
and is giving itself the right to assert and actualize that power. There is a strong center of self
here.

• (Methodically, according to Jeffrey's original assignment relative to this chart: Identify the
primary themes, starting with Pluto:

135
• How was this Pluto actualized prior to this life,
• What is the bottom-line current evolutionary intention,
• How is this actualized,
• How is the preceding actualized?)

(8-1.31.00) We have here an individual who for many lifetimes has had a fundamental
compulsion to experience the specialness of her identity, the power of her identity, in a dependent
sense, i.e. having many, many other people tell her how wonderful she is, how powerful she is,
how creative she is. There is a fundamental reliance (Mars in Taurus), dependency (8th house),
on this kind of compulsive need for feedback. This is called a repetitive compulsion, and as I have
earlier pointed out, there is an absolute need for her to learn how to validate herself from within
herself, from within her own internal, her inner group. That is a fundamental lesson here. You
clearly have a woman here who for many lifetimes (South Node in Aries) has had an instinctual
sense of a special destiny to fulfill.

That will always be true when you find South Node in Aries or in the 1st house or Mars conjunct
South Node. A person who has an instinctual feeling of a special destiny to accomplish,
something out of the ordinary. When you put that in the context of a Soul who is in an
individuated state, this will create an automatic rejection or rebellion against status quo ways of
achieving one's destiny.

There will be a fundamental rebellion here. And on that basis, the vibration of internal rebellion
will be the determinant or causal factor with whom she chooses to be in relationships (South Node
in Aries), the very nature of which are going to be people who, like herself, have a magnetic
power and a humanitarian vision, and have the will to implement it. Therefore in a relationship
dynamic she is going to be instinctually attracted to very powerful, charismatic, and magnetic
type men. She will have a fundamental instinctual attraction. Why? Because here is a Soul who
for many lifetimes has had an instinctual impulse to discover and actualize her power, and yet by
the very nature of Taurus and Scorpio in combination she has also experienced in many, many
lifetimes the limit of her own power. And that is then going to set in motion attractions to men
who symbolize to her something that she feels that she needs, which in her own estimation she
does not have. And vice versa. Men are going to be attracted to her for exactly the same reason.

Herein lies the obvious karmic signature of two people who are manipulating and using each
other for their own purposes. And once those purposes are achieved or actualized or fulfilled,
then we have termination of relationship. This is the function of Mars squaring Pluto relative to

136
Mars' rulership of the 7th house. And, as a result, we clearly have a karmic signature that is
dictating the need to repeat and relive intimate emotional psychological dynamics and sexual
dynamics in this life. And therefore she is going to re-attract key men that she has known in prior
lifetimes in which this karma of mutual manipulation and mutual abandonment and mutual use
has occurred. That would preclude any life-mate until this karmic intention is satisfied.

You are looking at the theme of repetition here (Mars-Pluto). Within this, you clearly have a very
dominant sexual nature (Mars in 8, Taurus). What you are looking at in this kind of signature is
what is called a sexual nature that is disproportionate. Proportion is 7th house. Disproportionate
to the overall nature, meaning you have extremity here (7/8). And one of the forms of extremity
is sexual. By the fact that she is in an individuated state, this Mars in Taurus and 8th squaring
the 11th house Pluto, at a sexual inner definition level is going to attract to her sex as power. And
therefore she will have instinctual attractions to what the consensus will consider to be sexual
taboos, i.e. forms of sexual expression that are not culturally sanctioned. And the way that her
Soul is going to reason subconsciously is that if the consensus considers these things to be
taboos, then relative to my Arian need to pioneer and do what I want to do, well, there might be
something to find out here! This is a reflection of the rebellion against the consensus. This is
then taking her into sexual dimensions that are, euphemistically termed, alternative. Again, the
primary theme being sex as power. But the underneath intention here is the experiencing of
physical and emotional sensation at an intense level i.e., the compression of sexual intensity.

This will then give rise to emotional dynamics, through the nature of the compression. It will
give rise to psychological dynamics, based on the nature of the inner compression, linked with the
intensity of sensation. And, in fact, what we have here is an instinctual sexual need for deep
permeating sensation at a sexual level. So the bottom line is that within her nature she is not
inwardly honest about where she is coming from sexually. There is a fundamental dishonesty
here. And using men to find her own power through sexuality, and at the same time attracting
men who are trying to find their own power through her. So now you have sexual karma. We
have disproportion here as a theme, we have mutual use, mutual manipulation. And this will
carry forth into the house she has structured herself within the overall sociological context (11th).
This will even surface through friendship. There is going to be a karma of friendships here, i.e.
people who have been wanting to call themselves friends to her, who have an underneath motive
of “How can you help me?” Because she is going to have natural psychological gifts (Venus trine
Mars in 8). In other words, the question the 8th house Pluto has been asking for lifetimes is “why?
Why, why, why?” And if you have a series of prior lifetimes in which these relationships have
been disrupted through mutual manipulation and use, without those motives being honestly on
the table, so this is also going to surface through friendship. That she herself has been forming

137
allegiances with people that she has been wanting to consider friends, with ulterior motives in
place. You see, "What can these people do for me?"

So it is an absolutely equal karma. This is operating at a fundamentally subconscious level: Mars

is here in 8th. And that is why I said earlier ..., because, yes, we have a square here and a trine
there, but the trine is following the square. And until she can exercise inner discrimination,
busting her own delusion, her own illusion, becoming fundamentally inwardly aware of where she
is inwardly coming from, cataclysmic or very difficult situations will continue to happen, the
essence of which are confrontations used in power plays. People now generating negative
feedback, making wholesale projections upon her. The nature of projections comes through the
7th house. It is just as she will project onto others, and this will continue to happen until there is
an inner discrimination that is learned (Venus in Virgo, 12th).

Q: - ? A: It primarily opts at a subterranean level.

Q: - ? A: Because of the 8th house dynamic or dynamics that the person does not want to look at.

Q: - ? A: No, the unconscious in the 12th house is literally what the word means: it is
unconscious.

Q: - ? A: The archetype of denial is specifically Virgo, the archetype of avoidance is specifically

Virgo. What you have here in the 8th house is a different kind of archetype, because the 8th
house archetypally is the nature of our motivations and the nature of our intentions, which are
caused by the nature of our desires. Do you think, in general, it's easy for people in mass to look
at themselves exactly as they are? To see themselves in the most realistic perspective possible?
Do you feel that any of us in this room are absolutely aware of the nature of our desires, and the
psychology, motives and intentions that they promote? Most people are not. You have to
remember that the 8th house is naturally connected to the 12th house. We tend to create an
unrealistic (12th) picture of who we are that is incomplete. Most people want to resist. The
nature of the 8th house is resistance to looking at the depth (8th) of where they are actually
coming from. You have to remember in this case we are dealing with Mars, we are dealing with
an instinct. Instinct does not have conception.

Q: - ? A: When she gets real, then it shifts from square to trine! See how it follows here?

Q: - ? A: But a form of therapy could be simply learning how to receive (North Node in Libra) the
objective feedback (11th) from those that she trusts (8th) in terms of where she is coming from,
and not of exercising instinctual defense (Mars square Pluto). Because of the incomplete karma in

138
relationships (Mars square Pluto), you have the incomplete karma with children (5th). Again it
connects to the theme of repetition. Obviously, with the North Node in Libra she is learning how
to do what? Literally learning how to be in a relationship for the right reasons, and within this,
learning to balance her need for relationship with her need for independence. This then requires
the ultimate male partner, who at the point of attraction (meaning no more maybe's, no more
potentials, no more reclamation projects, no more psychological wounded birds in which she plays
the role of psychologist and nurse in the darn relationship) is already exhibiting its own capacity
to identify and meet his own needs (Taurus), and as a resulting attitude becomes Mars(8th)/Aries
(7th), “I am here because I want to be, not because of need or compulsion to be.” Then her
fundamental fear of entrapment (Mars in 8th) cannot exist. The self-reliant one would not then
feel threatened by her need for independence and to actualize her own lifestyle as she sees fit.
Do you see the antidote here?

 SECOND SEGMENT
REVIEW OF FIRST-SEGMENT ITEMS (11-0.05.00)

MERCURY IN 12 AND JUPITER IN 1

Q - ? A: Again, we are dealing with the principle of evolution. If you have Mercury in 12th and
Jupiter in 1st, we have the Balsamic phase. So, on the one hand you have a natal imprint, which
is demonstrated in the intention for the life. And that will not change. That will be a core
archetype present throughout the life. But that archetype evolves through the life, which is
measured now through progressions and transits. And that is how you want to look at it. It is
the principle of evolution itself, relative to the natal imprint.

PHASES RELATIVE TO MIDHEAVEN/ASCENDANT

Q: - ? A: The question here is, if you are dealing with the Nodal axis and you want to determine
the phase relative to the Midheaven or the Ascendant. The answer goes back to the average
motion of anything. The average motion of the Nodes is roughly three minutes a day. So if you
relate this to Midheaven or Ascendant at birth, this is a fixed point.

OPPOSITIONS AND CONJUNCTIONS

Q: - ? A: The oppositions are not easy to integrate. You have inherently opposing forces that are
moving in opposite directions. As an example: Mercury/Jupiter in a Full phase opposition. You
have an archetypal signature leading into two different directions. On the one hand, the Full
phase is demonstrating the need to complete oneself through through social interaction. On the
other hand, you have the archetype of absolute individual discovery occurring from within oneself.
So you can see the nature of this opposition archetypally. In fact, at an extreme level this can be
in its own way archetypally the signature for schizophrenia. So, in terms of integrating, this is a
very difficult process. Typically in this sort of opposition the person is fluctuating in extremes. In
one cycle they are moving into heavy duty social interaction, to become overwhelmed by the
social interaction, then again there is the instinct to withdraw back to the New phase, and back
and forth we are going. And the whole solution here is balance. How is balance realized in this
phase? This becomes the question. So that is the difficulty in integration.

In terms of the conjunction, you have to determine whether it is a Balsamic conjunction or a New
phase conjunction. The Newphase conjunction is, relatively speaking, easy to integrate. Why? It
is a brand new Arian impulse. The person knows nothing else and is operating instinctually.
Whereas the Balsamic conjunction is a lot more difficult.

141
Q: If you have a conjunction that is almost absolute, is this demonstrating an easy integration?
A: Yes, because there is at-onement, the planets are sort of linked, they are at one, they are
fused.

STAR OF DAVID PATTERN

Q: - ? A: What you are asking concerns the Star of David pattern. When you have that kind of
aspectual pattern, what you have is a combination of aspects that correlate with an ease of
integration, but also aspects demonstrating a tremendous amount of creative stress. But it is the
creative stress that allows this ease of integration, as the stress is generating evolution.
Example: Carl Jung had a similar chart. And so what he did is that he took what was then called
Freudian thought, realizing inherent flaw in such thought, created actual conflict for Freud himself
as he confronted Freud's ideas, but taking these existing ideas, he creatively transformed them
and integrated a new system called Jungian psychology. So you have a presumption of stress,
something is trying to make a rapid leap in evolution, the stressful aspects. But because you also
have these non-stressful aspects, what is coming out of this stress can be integrated in a new
way. So it is typically a chart that is showing a Soul that is demonstrating rapid evolution in this
life, that is played out where these different planets and so on are occurring. And, in fact, it was
interesting in Jung's and Freud's case, because after this had gone on through a series of letter
exchanges, they decided to have a meeting, and Freud was so freaked out by the thought of this
meeting that when Jung actually appeared he fainted, dropped out!

MARS/PLUTO PHASE AND PRIMARY/SUBSIDIARY LIFETIMES

Q: Please give us some more information on the relationship between Mars and Pluto by phase.
A: What I was trying to talk about the first time was the actual phasal relationship between Mars
and Pluto. Let us say Mars/Pluto can be in a New phase, Crescent phase, First quarter. What you
have here are typically what are called primary lifetimes, in which the evolutionary intention
(demonstrated by the natal signature of Pluto, polarity point, North Node and South Node and
their planetary rulers) is directly worked on. There are eight primary lifetimes, in which that
evolutionary intention is directly worked on. There are also what are called subsidiary lifetimes,
in which those intentions are worked on obliquely, not directly. So what the phasal relationship of
Mars/Pluto demonstrates are how many prior primary lifetimes have occurred relative to working
directly on those core intentions. I t does not demonstrate how many subsidiary lives have
occurred. So if I have Mars/Pluto in a First quarter phase, this is telling me I have had two prior
primary lifetimes and this is the third lifetime. But by looking at that phase you cannot then tell if
this is in fact a primary lifetime. So the question becomes: how can you determine if this is a

142
primary lifetime? And the answer is specific. When there is an actual aspect within the phase,
this is a primary lifetime. When you see no aspect relative to the phase, it is a subsidiary
lifetime.

Q: How about Pluto and Mars being between 29 and 1 degrees?

A: The 29° symbol, the 0° symbol, the 1° symbol. These have specific meanings archetypally in
evolutionary terms. When you have Pluto (or any other planet) at 29°, what you are looking at is
a culmination of an entire cycle that has preceded the current life, an absolute culmination,
leading into mutation of that cycle, i.e. 0°. This creates its own archetypal problems. It is the
very same problem as of the Balsamic phase, because here again an entire cycle is being
culminated. At some level the Soul knows it. At some level the Soul is already beginning to get
the instinctual impulses in consciousness leading to the new cycle, the next birth. There is this
temptation to move towards that and to resist what needs to be culminated. This creates its own
kind of frustration, push-pull. So, similarly, in the 29° symbol. When you have Pluto at 0°, this
means the cycle has now already culminated, period. And yet, this new cycle that is emerging is
absolutely instinctual. There is no pre-existing pattern. As a result, the Soul is inwardly
confused. All of us, almost every human being on the planet, is defined by their past. So here
you have something at 0°. What is the temptation of the Soul here? To go backwards, and to
forever keep recreating the past in this current moment called 0°. And if it is at 1°, it shows that
there has been slight movement. But it is still primarily instinctual.

So, to bring it back to your concern, now we have Mars/Pluto in opposition. Pluto in your example
is between 0° and 1°. What is this now going to tell you? Here again we have to remember that
the process of evolution itself is a long process (this is why we keep reading in our books, millions
of lifetimes! Nobody wants to read these thoughts). So what we have in this example is New
phase, Crescent phase, First quarter, Gibbous. It simply means that in this example there have
been four primary lifetimes that have already pre-existed, with Pluto at between O° and 1°. In
other words, four lifetimes compared to the whole process is what? Nothing. But it is showing
that there has been ... This case would be very different than having Pluto at between 0° and 1°
and Mars conjuncting at between 0° and 3° in a New phase. In other words, the former case is
telling that this Soul has at least had some pre-existing prior lifetimes in which they have been
struggling to move towards this new development of the impulses.

Q: - ? A: Not necessarily confused, but they are operating at such an instinctual level that their
ability to integrate what the experiences are generating becomes a real question. But again, in
evolutionary terms there are reasons for these things. And that is why you have to play the role

143
of astrological detective.

Q: - ? A: That is right. The temptation is to keep going backwards, because that's what is
familiar. But every time they keep going backwards they create a psychological experience that
tells them “this isn't it!” There is like some inner knowing that they have already done this. It
doesn't work. Every time they keep trying to go backwards to recover it, because that is what is
known, this is like, “Wait a minute, I have done this, I have done this, I have done this.” And
once that kind of psychology and inner dynamic is created, it keeps forcing them into this New
cycle, even though they do not know what it is . When you counsel such a person, your advice is
specific. “Follow your instincts, follow the inner impulses! If somebody is telling you that you are
too darned impulsive, so what? That's exactly what you are meant to be doing, following your
impulses.”

Q: - ? A: Absolutely. And the question here again is, if the person keeps trying to go backwards,
this just keeps generating deepening levels of frustration, and within the frustration anger,
actually. And the answer is, yes, because it is violating natural law from an evolutionary point of
view.

PLUTO CONJUNCT SOUTH NODE OR NORTH NODE, OR SQUARE NODES (archetypal rules)
With Pluto Conjunct South Node, we have one of three possible evolutionary karmic conditions,
the first two of which are extreme and the third one common. The first extremity will simply
correlate with a Soul who has resisted, totally resisted, the evolutionary intentions, the karmic
purposes for their life, prior to this life . Based on this resistance, that Soul has come into this life
completely reliving past life conditions/circumstances in this life. They are locked in, and that
Soul, relative to the North Node, will sense, wistfully sense, a way out of it. They will attempt to
move towards that North Node as a way out. It is like an exit sign on a door. And yet, based on
the karmic requirement to repeat past life conditions, every effort they make to move towards
that North Node makes the Soul create circumstantial blockage. It keeps them entrapped or
enforced back into these past life conditions.

And unless there is a mitigating factor, i.e. say a planet conjunct the North Node, that Soul
cannot be released from that karmic reliving unless and until the second Saturn return. Typically,
most Souls, most of us, come into life unconsciously fulfilling past life conditions until the first
Saturn return. And this is why the first Saturn return for most people is very difficult. Why?
They have made no real preparation for their current life purposes. And yet, here we are at 28 to
30 years of age. We already have a relative structure for our reality in place, that has again more

144
or less unconsciously been defined through past-life conditions. And because there has not been
any actual conscious preparation to the current life purpose, that first Saturn return creates what?
It creates a situation psychologically where the person becomes progressively aware that the very
conditions of their life are not the conditions that they want. And yet, they have not made any
real preparations for those conditions. So the first Saturn return creates a tremendous state of
inner withdrawal, reflection - Saturn. It is an internalized time, in which, through that
internalization the person now must reflect on the conditions of their life. How did they come to
be here? How come they got to find this way? And this then gives the Soul the opportunity to
begin to break free from those conditions, to make some sort of choice factor in their
consciousness that allows for the preparation of the actualization of their current life purposes.
And yet, most Souls, because they have already got a relative reality there defined, only do a
little bit. They make slight changes, slight adjustments. This is again why evolution takes so
darned long. How many are prepared to make an absolute break? Not many of us.

The second extremity is a situation where the Soul, prior to this life, has so thoroughly developed
the evolutionary intentions demonstrated by the house and sign of the Pluto/South Node
conjunction, with motivations and intentions sufficiently pure, that this now correlates with what
is called a karmic evolutionary condition of fruition, wherein the person has some special gift or
talent at every level of evolution (meaning consensus state or individuated or spiritual, makes no
difference). Whatever that area of evolution they are in, whatever state they are in, they have
some special gift, some special knowledge, some special talent to bring back into this life. But
this Soul also can be just as frustrated. Why? Because they have done this thing for so long, that
they themselves want out of it! So, however, from an evolutionary point of view, God has to
touch certain people at certain times that have these capacities. Because it allows for evolution to
occur beyond the individual, i.e. the other people they are impacting on in their reality.

Q: How can you tell the difference? A: You can' t. You have to do this traditional astrology thing
- correlation, observation.

Q: - ? A: And here again, unless you find a mitigating factor, even that person who is in a fruition
condition is locked in until the second Saturn return. These principles can also apply to when you
find a planet on the South Node, any planet. For example, I have Sun on South Node and Uranus
on North Node. So, clearly God has it in mind for me to bring something back into this life. It
has been highly developed from past life, current purpose - Sun on South Node. And this is
demonstrated through the opposition, Uranus on North Node, meaning that has already been
developed prior to this life. We are looking at astrology symbolism here. And, believe me, I have
a total inner sense of being locked into this thing, even though, frankly, at an egocentric level, I

145
want out!

And then you have the third condition, which is a combination of both things here; an element of
fruition, and an element of reliving (which is the most common).

Q: You gave an example of your own case - Sun on South Node, because you have also Uranus on
North Node. That is why you were able to actualize ...?
A: Yes, because for me it was revealed at 24 years of age, at the second Jupiter return. My
Jupiter is in 12th, so it all came to me in a dream, in meditation, and so I began the preparation
then. So by the time the first Saturn return hit me... It was remarkable, because to the day it
returned (given the fact that I already prepared), while I was walking down the street in Seattle
(of all places! at that time there was hardly any astrology in Seattle), there was a teeny, little
book store called The Astrology Book Store, on a Sunday afternoon when most stores are closed.
I was looking in window, and here was the owner of the store: "Well, come in. Do you want a job
here, do you want to be our astrologer?". To the day Saturn returned, on a Sunday afternoon.
So it can also operate this way. Meaning, when you have made the preparation prior to that
Saturn return, then Saturn brings an opportunity, reality, i.e. what you're prepared for.

So you have these three conditions of Pluto on South Node. These conditions can also exist when
you have a planet on South Node, reliving something. For example, I also have Mars on South
Node: I was born literally with anger. So a current purpose is to understand what these anger
dynamics are, by recreating current circumstances in this life.

With Pluto conjunct North Node, in evolutionary terms this correlates with a Soul who, prior to
this life, has already been working in this area of evolution, and in this life is meant to wholly and
totally continue in this area. There is no polarity point in this case. Everything is funneled
through that Pluto/North Node conjunction, everything. And then the backup is to locate its
planetary ruler. These two things become mutually interactive.

Q: Can this still develop until their first Saturn return? In several cases where Pluto is conjunct
North Node ...
A: I would qualify that Node - say they probably didn't consciously work that way, but were
already working that way without their consciousness knowing it at an egocentric level. You have
to remember that Pluto in most people is unconscious. How many of us are consciously aware of
our Soul? Most of us are aware of our ego, not our Soul.

146
PLUTO SQUARE THE NODES. When Pluto (or any other planet) is squaring the Nodal axis, in
evolutionary terms this correlates with what is called skipped steps. What this simply means is
that the Soul has been moving back and forth, flip flopping, between both areas of development,
i.e. where the Nodes are located by houses, where the planetary rulers of these Nodes are located
by houses. Flip flopping back and forth without thoroughly developing either area. And thus it
creates skipped steps. So in evolutionary terms the intention, when you find this symbolism, is to
recover whatever the skipped steps are about, in order for the evolution to proceed. Remember
last time in the first segment I illustrated this with my own case of the Pisces Moon in 4 squaring
the Nodal axis. Until I was 33 years of age, my attitude was: “I will never have children in this
life.” Why? South Node is in 1, making this square “Oh, I want my freedom!” North Node in 7
(also squaring Moon): “I do not want relationships, I am fine with myself.” You remember what
happened afterwards, as an example of recovering skipped steps.

So this is the intention when you find Pluto or another planet squaring the Nodal axis; to recover
skipped steps. And the additional issue is that we have to be able to determine an area in that
person's life that is to be consistently developed, thus integrated, not flip flopping anymore. The
area of the Node that last formed the conjunction to Pluto (and/or other planet). In case that
happens to be the North Node, this is the Node and its planetary ruler that are to be consistently
developed. The polarity point comes through it, the South Node comes through it, the planetary
ruler of the South Node comes through it. If, in reverse, it was the South Node making the last
conjunction, it all comes through the South Node.

Q: - ? A: So in your case Pluto squares the Nodal axis, the Node that last formed a conjunction
to Pluto is the South Node, and yet Saturn is conjunct North Node. The North Node is being
actualized, but it is being integrated through the South Node consistently (that is the point of
reference). So when you are counseling the client, you are creating a language that is all referred
to the South Node and the location of its planetary ruler, as a base line in that person's life,
consistently. So that then the nature of that Saturn/North Node conjunction by its house and sign
is being actualized through that house/sign, but integrated through the South Node as the base
line. And the polarity point is still applicable here, but it is coming through the South Node as the
base line.

Q: - ? A: Yes. Unless you see Pluto squaring the Nodal axis. Unless you see this, the base line in
any chart is going to be the polarity point of Pluto, relative to its natal position. Because when
that is developed, there is an automatic evolution or rebirthing of the natal position of Pluto. That

147
is the base line in every chart, unless you find Pluto squaring the Nodal axis. When you find other
planets squaring the Nodal axis and Pluto is not, the base line is the polarity point of Pluto. With
respect to the planet other than Pluto squaring the Nodal axis, the base line for that planet is the
Node that last formed the conjunction to that planet.

Q: - ? A: It simply means that it makes in effect no difference whether it is the North Node that
last formed the conjunction or the South Node. Whatever the Node is that did form that last
conjunction, that area serves as the base line for the skipped steps that are implied to be
recovered and consistently developed in this life. The point here is the need to develop
consistency, not flip flopping. So whatever that Node is, that is where it comes out, relative to
the location of its planetary ruler. Those are now operating in tandem, simultaneously.

Q: - ? A: In a way there is no difference, because both Nodes have been sporadically developed
prior to this life. That person is already going to have experience wherever that North Node is
located, is already going to have experience wherever that South Node is located. These are not
new phenomena; but neither one has been consistently and thoroughly developed. This is the
problem. So the solution is to find an area in which consistency can occur, so that the
development of the entire life experience, relative to recovering the skipped steps, can occur.

Q: - ? A: No, the consistency is determined by the actual house and sign of the Node that has
made the last conjunction to the planet or Pluto. That's where it is.

Q: - ? A: It depends, and you have to make an entire analysis. To use your example, let's say we
have a given planet squaring North Node and South Node, and the South Node is the one that last
formed the conjunction to this planet. And yet, using your example, let's say this person is in a
relationship to someone who has a bunch of planets conjunct the person's North Node. And your
question is: is this going to be leading to stability? The answer depends on what else is occurring
in that chart, because it obviously also implies that that person's planets that are conjunct that
North Node are also in opposition to that person's South Node and also forming a square to the
given planet that is making the square. So we have to fill in the whole picture, because if we look
at it just from that one point of view, this then means that that person would actually serve to
create conflict, operating as a force in the person's life to keep them going back and forth,
meaning they are operating as opposition to the South Node, which is the consistency point in
this case. But first we have to make a whole analysis because maybe there are also planets
forming a conjunction to the South Node.

148
 LACKS AND PREPONDERANCES
As we said earlier, all too often traditional astrology books typically suggest that if there is a lack
of something, then all the various archetypal qualities associated with that lack are undeveloped.
For example, if I have zero earth, then the happy traditional books will tell me that this person
has no inherent ability to be responsible, no inherent ability to be self-determined, no inherent
ability to accept the responsibility in their own actions, no ability to be organized, and so on. But
there are many, many cases of people that have a lack of earth, who are the essence of these
things, and this is where the happy books go wrong. So there is something missing here in
classical astrology. Sometimes that is true and sometimes it is not. And so the question is, how
do you know who is who? In the case of zero earth, a certain person can have the natural earth
houses occupied by planets. That means that this person has already developed this archetype
and seeing a lack here is telling you what? That archetype has been so totally developed prior to
this life that it needs no longer any work. Therefore zero. However, if there are no planets in
earth houses, then it is an area that must be developed.

Q: If you have no planet in an earth house, should you then take the ruler of that earth house and
develop that?
A: No. Because what will begin to happen (and this is the principle of evolution). At some point
in the life transits will be occurring through these natural earth houses, or progressions, or in the
solar return of any given year that element can be rising on the Ascendant, as an example. Say
there is a lack of earth and then suddenly you come up with an earth sign rising, then that can be
a year in which these things become developed or at least are beginning to work. This is the
principle of evolution.

Q: - ? A: The question is: if you have a BUNCH OF ENERGY IN THE 12th HOUSE, can it sit there
and just exist in some dormant state, meaning the person is not exhibiting any apparent
conscious awareness of these planets? The answer is, no, nothing exists at a dormant level. In the
case you presented, how that would actually operate if the person is exhibiting no specific
conscious manifestation of the planets that you can observe, that is typically going to be
manifesting as fantasy or disjointed thought, or thoughts that are occurring within consciousness
at a spaced-out fantasy or imagination level that they don't act out. It stays within their
consciousness, and then the question becomes, why is it not happening? And in almost all cases
you are going to find a fundamental fear factor, that is creating a repression or a suppression of
those 12th-house energies, and the repression then manifests as inner fantasy, that the person is
very secretive about. But in this scenario that archetype is also going to correlate to an inner
prison. They have created an inner prison for themselves. And the way to move out of that prison

149
inwardly is through the form of fantasy, which they are keeping to themselves. Even if you
confront the person as an astrologer and say "Well, I can see this kind of fantasy occurring within
you!", typically because of the 6th-house polarity (keeping in mind we all operate through
polarity), this is to be met with denial: "No, it isn't!". But in fact it is.

Q - ? A: Yes, and typically when this kind of repression is happening because of fear, then in the
very same 12th house it will create, at various points in life, physical problems, because of the
repression, the very nature of the physical problems being demonstrated through your anatomical
and physiological correlations with the nature of the planets themselves.

Q: - ? A: Well, the way to rephrase that is that when they are repressed, there is the necessity of
moving in new directions in their life, demonstrated through the planets in the 12th house. If
there is repression, then it will manifest initially as physiological/anatomical issues creating crisis,
6th house polarity. The very nature of the crisis at some point makes that person analyze (6th
house) “Why does this keep happening to me?” And at some point, either in this or another life,
that crisis is going to make knowledge. This is why it is happening. And once that is connected
to, then the person can move forwards.

Q: - ? A: Once they begin to unlock the repression, then it leads automatically to healing.

Q: ... and if the depositor of that planet in 12th is in 3rd, does that show the way to break out?
A: You are right. As you know, in this sort of cases it takes typically an external person to help
them understand that way out. And that is one of the great roles of the astrologer, because they
can see that natural way out. And all you have to do is to develop the language to support that,
and then it is unlocked.

Q: (about the 6th house)? A: Yes. You see the deeper question becomes, let's say we have a
bunch of energy in 6th or in 12th, and if in fact the person is not consciously acting towards the
actualization of that evolutionary intention, and if that is not happening, the question then
becomes why not? And sure, you can look at aspects leading to suppression and the like. But as
we said in the first segment, when have 6th or 12th emphasized, or Virgo/Pisces emphasized, you
are classically looking at the pathology of masochism. And one of the primary ways a masochist
structures their reality is through self-denial, based on a guilt dynamic that needs to be atoned
for. Meaning, when it is repressed, it is the masochistic pathology that says “I deserve this pain, I
deserve this crisis.” And therefore they remain locked in, in these conditions. That is going to be
a causal factor in almost every case.
Q: - ? A: That's the point! And through the repetition of the dynamics, at some point it leads to

150
 massive crisis, massive! 12/6 always will create crisis in order to break free from something.
DECLINATION: PARALLELS, CONTRA-PARALLELS, ZERO
Parallels and contra-parallels should also be considered, because what we have here is the
essence of conjunctions and oppositions, and these are highly significant. Most astrologers do not
take the time to consider them, or even down to if a planet is on the equator (declination 0°).
These are extremely potent and powerful points. So if you want to make a detailed analysis to
have a total understanding, you have to take into consideration these parallel/conjunctions and
contra-parallel/oppositions. They are operating archetypally within that person's consciousness.

Q: If I find a planet conjunct the equator (declination 0°), how important is that?
A: That is a highly dominant archetype in that person's consciousness. It is almost operating like
the singleton planet in that pattern, like in Freud's case, where we had Mars.

Q: - ? A: Exactly. Another way of putting it. Let's say we look into a given chart and Mars is
wherever it may be, and yet we look into declination and find Mars exactly conjunct the equator.
Let's say from a longitudinal natal chart point of view Mars doesn't seem to be that highly
emphasized, yet we find Mars conjunct the equator. In every case you are going to find a
dominant Mars archetype in that person, whether that is implicated in the natal chart or not. It is
operating like a singleton planet, like in Freud's case with Mars in opposition to the whole mass.
And we clearly understand it from Freud's view of psychology, that is defined more or less
through the Mars archetype.

PLANETARY NODES OF ALL PLANETS

Here again, at least in my experience, not too many astrologers are working with these at all. Dr.
Landscheidt from Germany (I met him) put a tremendous amount of research into this, really
quite astounding. He has also made a computer program of these (geocentric) positions of the
North and South Nodes of all planets. As you get into your own evolution in your work through
astrology, at some point it would be very advisable that you start including this in your analysis.
Because here again you have the dynamic of the trinity - South Node, North Node, Natal position.
And to understand these archetypes is no different than to understand the South Node and North
Node of the Moon. You have the same archetypal signature, meaning a past, a future (integrated
in each moment), and the natal position of the planet as the integration point. So in my view it is
very important to really look into this. Example: let's say we have an individual whose South
Node of Venus happens to be in the sign Sagittarius, and yet the current natal Venus is in
Capricorn. Right away you're looking at tremendous inner conflict. Why? Prior to this life, South
Node of Venus, what has been the entire value association? You now relate it to these patterns,
ways of approaching inner and outer relationship that have preceded this life. This is coming

151
through a Sagittarian archetype, the essence of which is natural laws and living naturally. And yet
now the current Venus is in Capricorn, meaning heavy duty exposure to existing societal
conditioning of how relationships or values are meant to be played out, i.e. man-made laws, and
adjustments therein. Is this setting up a potential conflict for the person?

So, every planet will have its South Node. And that is demonstrating what? The orientations
prior to this life, in which the archetype demonstrated (Saturn, Venus, etc.) has already been
actualized. It correlates with subconscious memory. And again, all of us, most people, naturally
gravitate to that what has come before. Why? It has already been developed! It constitutes
subconscious memory, serving as its own conditioning in terms of the current life. And yet it is
met in this life with the current position of whatever the planet may be. Sometimes it will be in
harmony, sometimes it will not. And how is this evolving, as an evolving force in this life? This is
demonstrated through the North Node of that planet, and how this is integrated relative to the
natal planet. It is a really dynamic thing, because with respect to the inner planets Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the nodal axis can shift quite dramatically through time. But when you
come into the outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), the positions of their Nodes are
fairly constant through a century. Right now, all of us, most people that are living, have, for
example, the South Node of Pluto in Capricorn. Most people now living have the South Node of
Neptune in Aquarius, the North Node of Saturn in Cancer, North Node of Jupiter in Cancer. Now if
you put this in the context of evolution, which is again the base line, and if we simply observe
what has been going on in our world, in our societies, all over the planet, is it not true that there
has been a reemergence of the feminine? Most people now living have the South Node of Jupiter
and Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, and the North Node of these three planets in Cancer: is this
North Node/South Node combination in Cancer/Capricorn just coincidence, or God's plan? Yes or
no? And how come, now that we are moving towards this famous Aquarian age, that most of us
on the planet have the South Node of Neptune in Aquarius?! You see the point here? And again,
embracing this from an evolutionary point of view, there are no surprises here. This is called
natural law, and natural order, relative to evolutionary necessity. See how magically it works
now?

Q: Do other planets also have a polarity point which should be considered?

A: Yes, of course, because this is the same deal.

Q: About the South Node of Neptune in Aquarius: what kind of...

A: Atlantis. Most people with Pluto in Leo have direct connection to Atlantis. And these are the
lessons that are meant to be carried forward i.e., how come Atlantis was destroyed? And how
come there has been such a renaissance in the last 30- 40 years, such an interest in Atlantis?

152
This has primarily come through the Pluto in Leo generation, whose polarity point is Aquarius.
And see, what is interesting about the South Node of Uranus in Sag. Well, think about it. I mean.
pretty soon here Pluto is moving into Sagittarius, and this is going to be a re-emergence of
natural law, not through collective enlightenment, but through circumstantial necessity. Just
watch over the next twenty years what is going to happen in nature. Through circumstantial
necessity, humanity will have to re-embrace natural law. Why? In order to survive. And what it
is actually reflecting is a re-emergence of the Latin idea of the Daemon archetype. And here we
all have this subconscious structure of the South Node of Uranus in Sag. So again, is this
coincidence or synchronicity? It is really interesting stuff, and if you really start allowing yourself
to look into this subject and meditating on it, this will start generating a magical awareness in
consciousness. At least that is what is my own experience. It is just magic. It fills in the picture,
so to speak.

Q: - ? A: Well, it covers the whole span, the whole history of Lemuria and Atlantis and the like. It
covers all the way from Leo/Aquarius to and culminating in Cancer/Capricorn, over a 3000 to
4000 year period.

ECLIPSES
These are really quite interesting. A really good book on this subject is "Interpreting the Eclipses"
by Robert Jansky. He did the most pioneering work. Essentially what it boils down to is that
whatever the eclipse point is, lunar or solar, that particular area of life becomes emphasized for
the next six months, and it becomes activated when a planet transits that eclipse point. These
are Jansky's ideas. And in my own observation, his ideas work in this way. They truly work. As
an example, the last eclipse (penumbrial lunar) occurred at 26 Taurus opposing my South Node of
Mars at 27 Scorpio. There were certain things that happened in my personal life of a
Scorpio/Taurus nature relative to South Node of Mars (the signature of Mars) that I was not
anticipating. As soon as that eclipse point was transited by Jupiter and Mercury at 26 Scorpio,
they came off. Here is an example of old issues now linked to a planetary Node. These eclipses
do in fact work. So the basic idea, wherever the eclipse takes place, that area becomes
emphasized for the next six months, and it becomes activated upon the first transit to that point.

Q: - ? A: What is the essence of the Sun? What does it do in our birth chart? It is an integrating
factor, it is the overall purpose of our life, how we are integrating our life experience, how we
creatively actualize ourself. So if that is in eclipse, a Sun eclipse, that means that the natal
purpose demonstrated by your Sun (house, sign) becomes acted out in that area for the following
six months. It's emphasized. Now contrast this with the Moon. Is it not true that the Moon is
correlating with whatever our existing nature of what we call security is about? How our reality is

153
being consciously defined in such a way as to create a sense of security? Which then creates our
own self-image around this security issue. If we just deal with this one idea, and we now have a
lunar eclipse at a certain point in the chart, what is occurring?

Q: - ? A: And how are those security patterns set up, because security is again a function of the
past. So we have a lunar eclipse.

Q: - ? A: Through the creation of what? What is this specific thing the Soul creates that makes
this happen? Connect the idea to the past!

Q: - ? A: Yes, and the lunar eclipse can also bring back into our life issues that have not been
resolved relative to emotional issues. And they are suddenly back into our face and we then have
the opportunity to approach this in a new way, or keep ourselves ensnared in the past. If we
approach them in a new way, we are starting to create a new image of ourself, aren't we? We are
creating new patterns of security, aren't we? We are choosing to interpret differently. So!

Q: - ? A: Sure. There is also a collective application to all this. Let's take an obvious example.
This last lunar eclipse was in Taurus. Let us put it in the context of the U.S. Now we just saw a
renaissance, unfortunately, of the Republican party. And let us deal with one basic notion, the
allocation of resources, Taurus. And now suddenly we have a clown called Gingrich who is
suggesting that if I am a poor person on welfare, my children should be taken from me and
placed in an orphanage, somehow to save the government money. Money! Do you see what I am
getting at? There is also this collective application. Keeping in mind astrology works relative to
observed context, meaning the lunar eclipse in Taurus for the U.S. as a collective will manifest
differently than a lunar eclipse in Taurus, say, relative to Zaire. You have to understand the
existing context.

Q: - ? A: If you look at it again from an evolutionary point of view of the Soul, every Soul picks
the country and conditions of the life that it needs. So how is it that everyone of us in this room
has South Node of Pluto in the U.S. chart's 9th house? What this means from an evolutionary
point of view is that every Soul in the U.S. has had a desire for maximum freedom. (More on U.S.
character, people and politicians: see tape 11-01.32.50 to 11-01.41.40.)

We of course notice one of the primary keys: Neptune squaring Nodal axis. So you really want to
be focused on what this potentially means within the overall analysis, Pluto, polarity point, Nodal
axis, etc. Let us first focus on the initial questions of what the evolutionary intention is for the
life, what the prior life background seems to have been, and what the skipped steps are
concerning Neptune and the Nodal axis.

155
Q: - ? A: What we need to be doing is describing reality. I understand your astrological
reasoning, but let's try to describe what her life would actually be like - life descriptions, using our
astrological reasoning to support that. Not just rambling around in the astrological jargon. What
would actually be her life experience? As an example, a simple question, what would be the
nature of her early parental environment, what would be the impact of that kind of imprinting?
How would that set up how she is relating to herself through the 2nd house early on as a child?
These kind of things.

Q: Pluto at MC showing the need to establish her identity in the world, her authority. With Scorpio
rising and Neptune on Asc, having a very open sensitivity to the bigger environmental influences
and looking to find her identity. South Node in 3rd, so there were lifetimes of finding relativity of
ideas and questioning and searching and embracing that type of teachers and information. Ruler
of South Node, Uranus on MC, showing that she has been breaking up patterns of conditioned
thought according to the authority of those times. The Mars/Venus/Sun energy in 2nd is a strong
dynamic for self-reliance, initiating her own resources to be independent that way. Scorpio Asc,
analyzing where people are coming from. North Node in 9th ruled by Sun, teachings toward self-
reliance and a natural way of looking at life.

A: That is really good and very succinct. So let me now pose this question. Given the fact that
she is in this state of evolution, referencing this to the natal Pluto/Uranus in 10th, relative to the
dominant Capricorn pattern, can we then say that this is a Soul that was born into a parental
environment that was supportive of who she was as an individual, or perhaps one in which the
parents themselves were in the consensus? And if that is the case, what was the impact to her as
a child through the parental expectations to conform to a life style (Uranus) represented by
traditional values, Capricorn? What would be the impact on her as a child, given the fact she is in
this stage of evolution? And I will say it again. We cannot under-emphasize the nature of the
imprinting, the impact that goes on when we were children, relative to our parents. It is a
primary key. So let's start with this kind of idea. Somebody describe the parental environment as
you can see it through this chart.

Q: - ? A: Simply go back to the point again that clearly the South Node ruler is in 10th in Virgo.
The obvious bottom line lesson, Pluto's polarity point in 4th in Pisces, is to arrive at a state of
absolute inner security that is created through a self-image that is transformed relative to the
impact of the parents (10th). When you have the Aquarian symbol here (South Node in Aquarius)
ruled by Uranus in Virgo, you are clearly demonstrating some sort of crisis (Virgo) that took place
in early life with the parents relative to herself. The nature of this crisis is what? Parents that
were duty-orientated (10th house) and emotionally lacking. And yet if we look at this chart, this

156
same South Node is in trine to a Moon in 12th. Any Moon in 12th or Pisces in any person is
describing a person who is essentially emotional. So now she is essentially emotional, and when
you link this now to the parental environment that was lacking in emotion, parents that were
duty-orientated and were very good at fulfilling parental obligations (10th) but lacking in primary
emotional support (4th), and at the same time expecting her to be a vicarious extension
(Capricorn is in 2nd), keeping in mind there is a trine relationship here between 10th and 2nd,
expecting her to be a vicarious extension of their own values (Venus), their own life style
(Uranus), an expectation to conform - this creates an early on message to her. She has not been
acknowledged! So right away you have a child born into a parental environment in which there is
1) no primary love or nurturing occurring whatsoever, and 2) no acknowledgment of her inherent
individuality, Uranus. So what kind of emotional fracturing, what kind of fracturing at an
egocentric level as a child, would this produce? How does this then link to what we call "displaced
emotions", the emotions of the child that are not resolved get dragged into adulthood and become
the subconscious (Uranus) basis of attracting adult relationships.

And what kind of relationships are those going to be? Typically, in this kind of pattern, relative to
Venus in Capricorn, based on the fractured emotion, given the fact she is female, she will attract
older men. Because the primary displacement here is, yes, it is with both parents, but we all
operate through polarity, gender, gender completion is male/female, is it not? So there is going
to be a primary displacement linked with the father. And so as an adult she is going to attract
older men. It is through the displaced emotions. And yet these very same older men, in one way
or another, are going to play out the original father. So this is over time going to lead to Virgo
crisis, because these older men are going to be just like the father - control! And the problem in
here, because the lesson is self-reliance and inner security, is that the very nature of these older
men is such that they themselves cannot understand what she is, what she needs, in both
scenarios, as a child and as an adult. Being thrown perpetually back into herself, which is the
intention.

This is what you must realize as an evolutionary astrologer. Because her intention is for self-
security and self-reliance, which you can now see, relative to the South Node and its ruler's
placement in 10th, that her Soul has deliberately chosen this kind of parental environment to be
thrown back onto herself. And later on, through adult relationships, for the same reason. The
intention now as an adult is to realize what? “I am none of this! None of it!” This is called a
process of elimination, through the experiential phenomena we call crisis. And when there is
enough crisis, the Soul will change.

Now, within this problem (with Pluto/Uranus in 10th and a dominant Capricorn pattern), we also

157
have to look at the other primary archetypes that have been operative here for at least 1200
years (Virgo sub-age of the Pisces age). Are we not looking at the dominant archetypes of guilt
and (Virgo) the need to atone? Relative to a Moon in 12th, does this not suggest the emotional
pathology, the psychological pathology of masochism? Now, if you take these archetypes, let us
now talk about their applications in her actual life.

Q: At what point does this turn around and become clear?

A: When there is enough experiential crisis by living a lie. Again, every child naturally expects her
needs to be met, every child naturally wants to be loved. No child has any inherent defense. So
what you have here, given the fact that she is so inherently different (Uranus), relative to the
observed evolutionary state, than most people (most people = consensus society), is that she has
learned, even as a child, through the Libra Moon, to compromise and/or (12th house) sacrifice her
own unique identity or values or belief structures, who she intrinsically is in effect, to compensate
for it by trying to adopt the external appearance of normalcy. This starts as a child. Why? Every
child wants to be loved. So she would attempt to dance to the parental tune, so to speak, just to
receive any element of recognition or love. But in so doing she created a lie, relative to her own
actual identity. When you now link this with displaced emotions, that very active compensation
surfaces as an adult. When you put this in the context of Germanic society, specific to Hamburg
(I mean Hamburg is one of the most sexually twisted cities I have ever been in) and you look at
the dominant nature of the 2nd house, remember, here is the sexual instinct... Now think of this.
Every child wants to be loved, every child wants to be acknowledged. This is a Soul that has an
absolute need for somebody somewhere to nurture her. Yes or no?

You put this in the context of Hamburg reality, you've got the displaced emotions surfacing from
childhood into adulthood, you run this back to the 2nd house (all the Capricorn), given the fact
that she has already compensated for her natural identity, what are you going to find as an adult
woman in the Hamburg society at this point, relative to the 2nd house? Remember the displaced
emotions, the unconscious still looking for pappa, i.e. older men, now what are you going to see
here?

Q: A professional hooker? A: That would be a possibility. But if it didn't manifest as a hooker,

what would you see?

Q: - ? A: But as long as this compensatorial behavior was in place, i.e. a living lie, through the
displaced emotions, could we say, through the 2nd house (while that was active), that she would
be able to find what she was actually needing in any of these men?

158
Q: No! A: So. And yet still being driven to look for it. Would this not then suggest going through
many partnerships? And yet we are also having to agree, with Jupiter and South Node in
Aquarius and 3rd, that there is a natural sense of right and wrong or morality here. And when you
run this back through the connection with the 10th house, this will create a natural need to
control one's behavior relative to the inherent sense of right and wrong. So when we place this
now to the Neptune squares to the Nodes, what would be the obvious vehicle that she would use
to let go of that control issue within herself so that this need (2nd house) can be played out?
Alcohol or drugs, because now this is breaking down the inner control, is it not?

Q: Can this not also occur by being spiritual or studying astrology? A: That's not going to be true
relative to her emotional needs, through relationship relative to the original displaced emotions.

Q: But through alcohol, that would not be negative! A: Well, I don't see this is a positive way of
removing or dissolving this inner control, because in effect this is going to lead her into one
experience after another with men who have no idea of who she is, particularly in Germanic
society. Because in Germanic society there is in fact even a deeper double standard between men
and women than there is in America. Example, in Hamburg one of the favorite sports of men is to
go into discos and work out a deal with the bartender to where the bartender slips a drug into the
alcohol for the woman; she becomes immobilized; she gets dragged and raped by four or five
men; and then she is turned into a prostitute, and the police do nothing! This is a prevalent
dynamic. Men in Germanic society typically give themselves the right to sleep with however
many women, while at the same time expecting the woman to be monogamous to them. So this
is her overall environment that she is functioning in, using alcohol to remove this inner control
based on natural morality, relative to her displaced emotions. Somebody love me. I mean, if you
just look at it karmically, if she is going to take in all this "indiscriminate sperm", so to speak,
what is going to be the impact on her on a karmic level? So can this be seen as positive? No.

Q: Would that reinforce the guilt of Capricorn?

A: In the end. At some point in her life she would be able to step back and look at it, i.e. when
the crisis reaches the critical mass, she is not going to do it anymore. And then if she looks back
she is going to feel horrible about herself, relative to the Capricorn. She is going to do all this
deep inner judgment because of her inherent morality.

Q: The displaced emotions with all of the Capricorn, the polarity being Cancer in 8th (because
there is a lot of Cancer in her 8th), so she would look for the sexuality, the deep transformational
experiences in Cancer to nurture her, and so I see her sexuality (although many people may not)
as a deep need for spirituality. And even though she doesn't have her Pluto in 8th, I just see

159
that polarity is there.
A: You are right. And so now is there not a potential confusion occurring within her, i.e. her
perhaps going through this intense sexual experience (interpreted in the way you suggested), and
yet where the man is actually coming from is the opposite. This is extremely accurate.

Q: - ? A: Her illusion at this level is as follows, because of this double standard in Germanic
society. Men doing this, women expected to do that. Keeping in mind you've got Pluto in 10th
here (a gender transference in the recent past), relative to this connection of Mars and Pluto, she
became angry. "OK, men give themselves the right to do this". Her Neptune delusion now
becoming "I'm going to do what the men do!" And this was her way (Scorpio) of being vindictive
relative to the double standard. But by manifesting through the vindictive psychology, "We will
all do what the men do", she in the end ultimately even hurt herself more deeply. This is a form
of a Neptunian personal delusion or deception, generating a rationale (rationalization, Virgo) for
the behavior.

Now let's come back to the masochistic pathology, and now link this archetype to the archetype
we have described relative to the parental environment. If we look at it with the Moon in Libra in
12th, what we have here is a mother who is essentially schizophrenic, psychically unstable, and
actually operated behind the scenes to undermine the father. Really, in actual reality this mother,
particularly as this girl reached puberty, felt threatened by her puberty relative to the husband.
And then it set in motion all kinds of undermining, i.e. Behind the scene messages to the father,
this is the daughter, this is what she is doing, blah blah. Then at puberty the father became
extremely abusive. In fact she described one scene to me where, when she was fourteen, at a
certain incident he did some act of discipline. The discipline was to smash her on the head. Of
course she would cry, and to smash her again until she stopped crying. And this would go on
until there were no more tears. Now think about the impact of such a thing to a fourteen-year old
girl. How does this set up the displaced emotions, relative to all that masochistic pathology in
attracting adult partners. Let's run with this theme in Hamburg society.

Q: - ? A: Sure, and the alcohol is meant there to remove the repression, because clearly with
this dominant 2nd house we have a highly sexed individual.

Q: - ? A: With Moon in Libra in 12th, it is not so much a signature of herself becoming

schizophrenic, as it is a signature of where she can get so far away from her natural nature, that
that creates its own massive psychological conflicts. In fact in her case she was suicidal at
various points in her life, because of this.

160
Q: I was wondering with that Neptune/Nodes skipped steps, Neptune being in Scorpio in 1st, if in
a Germanic society it would be a possibility that she had been a Nazi officer, who had abused
power, and now coming back. . .?
A: No, you are thinking too linearly. Because the real question is this. What is the origin of the
guilt, generating that need to atone, generating the masochism? The real key lands right through
here (Jupiter and South Node in 3rd, Aquarius) relative to the Moon in 12th. Relative to this state
(9th house) you can assume what? That for many, many lifetimes she has been attempting to
spiritualize. And when you run this back to the 10th house, what you have is two layers. Going
way back in time you have a Soul, yes, who has spiritualized in natural sort of ways; and yet in
recent times (1200 A.D. out, Virgo sub-age) she has now been exposed to very controlling types
of religions of a highly moralistic nature, that are guilt-ridden relative to their teachings, really
specific to sexual issues (2nd house), which then had the effect through the religions of her
suppressing her natural nature. And any time she attempted to deviate from those religious
scriptures, this would then make her feel guilty. That is the origin of the guilt, which then
becomes a basis of trying to suppress, to control what her natural nature is. That is called
learned guilt. This is very different than guilt linked with one's own actions, acquired guilt. She
was not a Nazi officer, no.

Q: How would you differentiate between learned guilt and acquired guilt, from the chart or from
observation?
A: There is a variety of ways. Discussing that would take a while. There are different kinds of
signatures. In essence, what you have to do is a lot of work through astrology to know the
difference. When you look in a person's eyes, as an example, you can make the determination
beyond the chart. It is hard for me to sit here and give you a list of what is what. But see, the
first thing you want to generate here is: why the masochism?

Q: Can you have both learned guilt and acquired guilt?

A: That can also be true. Each case is unique and that is why I am saying in this case, if you look
to Jupiter with the South Node, any time you see a South Node in Sag or a Jupiter linkage to
South Node, that is a Soul that has inherent rights and wrongs, an inherent sense of right and
wrong, naturally speaking. That right away is going to preclude generating actions leading to
guilt based on those actions. In this case there is a guilt structure based on religious overlays
that have been trying to control her natural nature.

Q: And here with Sag on the 2nd house cusp... A: Even more deeply!

161
Q: And also Jupiter inconjunct Pluto... and Neptune... A: That is exactly the point. And that is
the whole crisis linked with these types of controlling, highly moralistic, man-made type religions.
That is exactly the point. But if you have also... I want to come back to this point, this imprint of
the father who has now become sadistic, more or less (because there were other cases of this, it
was not the only incident), how would this then play out in terms of her attracting adult men later
in her life? The question is, is it within the realm of potential that at various points in her life she
is going to be attracting sadistic type men who are control orientated? And some of the sadistic-
ness can manifest at a sexual level beyond the psychological level. Is this a possibility?

Q: Yes! A: And if that is the case as actual experiences in her life, what is the impact to her?
What is being reinforced?

Q: More guilt! A: And the implied message is: "There is something quite wrong with me", which
is the early message to the child. "I don't fit in with my parental trip here, there must be
something wrong with me!" Now, because this (Jupiter and South Node) is in a Gemini house,
meaning duality, there is also a potential signature in here, especially given the fact that it comes
through a trine to the Moon, that as she becomes mature (16 - 18 years of age) it is also possible
for her to come back to whom she naturally is – Jupiter South Node! So is it not then possible that
as she is going through this relationship routine, at one point or another she can attract an adult
partner, a man, who is now symbolic of that what she inherently is. A man who is now trying to
teach her (Jupiter), through communication, to validate herself (Aquarius). So can you now also
see this potential, these two extremes (reinforced through the Libra Moon – extremity)?

Q: Would there ever be a tendency for her to be sadistic to him?

A: Quite the opposite. When that kind of dynamic would occur for her, she would (until she
arrives at her own security) try to latch on, just like a child latches on.

Q: She is already feeling not good enough, so she cannot be a sadistic person.
A: That is right. So when some man comes along and says: "You are beautiful just as you are",
what is her tendency going to be? She has now found the real poppa. And yet because of her
absolute lessons in self-reliance (I mean, look at the dominant 2nd-house pattern and the 4th
house need to develop inner security), in that scenario she would then of course become too
dependent. If she becomes too dependent, relative to her lessons of achieving self-reliance and
inner security, what is going to happen to such a relationship? Something will occur to remove the
relationship, Aquarius, suddenly. In fact, in your homework, chart 14 (not included in the present
correspondence course) was one of these men who helped her understand who she was and even
helped her unlock her natural sexuality. And yet, because her tendency was to become this (she

162
became too needy, too clinging), guess what happened to the man? He died, after six weeks of
the relationship (he got killed).

In this kind of spiritual state, the ultimate father she is looking for is inside, the inner church, the
inner temple. 2nd house. And the point here is that until she arrives at a relative self-sufficiency
and inner security, any relationship that is positive or not positive will end in one fashion or
another. Once this is realized then you have a different phenomena, meaning the relationship
can be sustained.

When you look at this chart from a past life view, you would identify the theme of a Soul that is
trying to feel externally secure, to be nurtured by something. So this archetype or dynamic is
very strong, (I mean it couldn't be stronger in almost any other chart you would look at), and
one of the unfortunate applications of the 2nd house can be, as extreme laziness, extreme inertia,
trying to vicariously live through another or something else, rather than making one's own effort.
And so by having this dominant 2nd house, you can clearly see the potentiality of such a theme
being emphasized. So by looking back through past life - I looked into her past lives (tell me who
cannot now see this relative to this need to be taken care of, so to speak). There was a recent
past lifetime which she spent in absolute sexual slavery. Now, look at the chart from this point of
view and tell me you can't see it as an extreme manifestation (as stated everywhere, particularly
through Moon in 12th), being captured in a relationship. Do you understand my point?

Q: Is this based just on Moon in 12th and/or aspects it makes?

A: It is not just the Moon, it is the whole chart, with respect to Pluto/Uranus in 10th, coming back
to the 2nd house, sexual slavery. Another form of masochism, in an extreme sense.

Q: Even though it is a trine?

A: Even though it is a trine. It was very easy to do. Do you see the point now? And so, given
this type of imprinting, coming into this life, is it any wonder that she is going to attract such a
father and then later on, as an adult, attracting adult partners, at times different kinds of men,
who were also playing out in various ways this form of sadism and that form of sadism, or at
minimum men who where trying to control the very essence of her being, trying to limit her
actualization, while at the same time giving themselves the freedom (Mars) to do whatever they
wanted to do with all these different women they were going to have on the side. And if that's the
case, how is that reinforcing her sense of inferiority? It goes right back to the message: "There is
something wrong with me, the man does not want to be monogamous". Do you see how this is
all replayed in all these different networks of dynamics? Do you understand? And see, this is the
point. Once you can understand these core archetypical dynamics, you can then understand the

163
network of variations.

Now, looking at Neptune square Nodal axis, clearly what you have here, because Neptune is in 1st
(not 12th), is not only confusion about sexual identity, it is also the very basis of personal
deception, Neptune in 1st. And based on these kind of experiences, many of these are extremely
difficult, let's face it. Coming back to Capricorn, suppressing the very nature of her life
experience, and through suppression generating (Neptune) an unrealistic appraisal of her own
reality and other people's realities. So what is the skipped step here? Obviously with Neptune in
Scorpio in 1, it's to penetrate through the nature of these deceptions, in order to get in touch with
fundamental truth, 9th house, 3rd house, Neptune square Jupiter, what the actual truth is here.
That is the nature of the skipped step.

Q: With Mercury square Moon and inconjunct North Node!

A: Yes, and then to realize that this ultimate father she is looking for occurs through Neptune, not
another human being through sexuality!

So if we can identify all this, we come back to the North Node. Here it is in Leo in 9th, and ruled
by the very Sun in 2nd. Beyond the obvious lesson of self-reliance, the question now is, what is
the solution to this entire issue? All this stuff we have talked about, what is the solution? What is
going to be the way out that allows this whole thing to be changed?

Q: - ? A: To re-orientate to her inherent beliefs, that's Jupiter on South Node, yes.

Q: - ? A: What is going to be the nature of her own spiritual system?

Q: Shamanistic! A: You are right, because it comes through natural laws here. It comes through
Tantra. It comes through the shamanistic way of looking at and experiencing life, expanding her
consciousness therein, because shamanistic consciousness is emotional consciousness, which is
then taking her away from her head. And when she gets away from her head, she removes her
element of personal doubt. Once she allows herself to emerge into the emotions through
shamanistic living, she is now arriving at self-validation. And she is now learning to positively
integrate her deep emotional nature.

Q: To see herself as a symbol of her own spirituality, she has to put herself in the picture literally.
A: Absolutely, and learning how to use her own vehicle - emotion, body, Soul - as her own vehicle
of metamorphic transformation, and not looking at it out here (outside). Once she looks at it in

164
here (herself), she can attract it out here (outside), because "out here" means a partner who is
returning her to herself, not a partner who says "I am your God!". A big difference. Can you see
what we have been doing here? And this is just part of the analysis, but you see how deep we've
got. Can you follow the astrological reasoning in all this? This is the real issue.

Now if we start throwing in phases, we've got Mars/Venus balsamic. Clearly we now can say
what? All these relationships that she went through were fated. Why? She is in a culminating
pattern. They were destined. Now think! If you are an astrologer and this client is coming to
you and confessing all this stuff she has gone through relative to the guilt she is creating for
herself (relative to her natural sense of right and wrong) and you can now say to that client, "wait
a minute, it is OK, it was all fated. And you have now arrived at this place where you are trying
to break free!", do you realize what a relief this is going to create at every level of that person's
being, just through that simple sentence, you have now taken a pile of guilt out of that Soul! And
the next statement is, "Look, your only challenge is to learn this, so you'll never do it again!".

From another view, we can also say that part of the current life evolutionary intention
(Pluto/Uranus in Virgo in 10th) is to actualize right work, a work that is consistent with her
natural nature. Obviously with Jupiter on South Node in Aquarius she is born with natural
brilliance or unique insight. Yes or no? She is born with her own inherent knowledge. Is it not
true that part of her life path is to return back to that what she already knows? Given the fact
she has a natural wisdom and a natural knowledge and an innate ability to communicate it that
has been snuffed out by fathers and older men and blah, blah, now part of her lessons is to return
back to that what she inherently knows, and to validate that to herself. Do you see my point?
Given this is a natural thing that she brings into the life, coming back through the 10th house,
Uranus is in 10th, South Node is in Aquarius, Pluto is in 10th. Would this not then demonstrate
also a natural psychological gift, Pluto, which is reinforced with Scorpio rising Neptune here? Is
this not going to create a Soul who has an acute sensitivity to the energy fields of everybody?
Who has a natural ability to osmose in an unconscious way another person's reality, to in effect
reduplicate that person's reality into herself? Running that Neptune back to the Jupiter square,
letting her mouth just open and close at will, without thinking about it (Virgo). If she thinks
about it, she makes doubt. So what is the challenge? Let the mouth open and close of itself,
Neptune. Then the advice is specific to that person's first house actual reality. Do you see my
point? So is it not then potential, relative to her first stage spiritual state, that you look at not
only a natural teacher, a natural writer (3rd house), but also a person who is naturally orientated
to the helping professions (Virgo) of a (Scorpio) counseling nature? Yes or no? Bringing Jupiter
through the Ascendant and Neptune, and Uranus being in 10th, is not astrology a possibility? Is
not psychology a possibility? Is not hypnotherapy a possibility? Is not writing a possibility? Is

165
not working with or teaching children a possibility? These are all potentials, and these are the
things that as a counselor you validate to such a person. Do you see my point? She is now in
the process of writing a book on Neptune, and look where the transit of the North Node is (14
Scorpio conjunct Ascendant and Neptune). Now is that astrology in your face, or what?

Q: You mentioned (and I can see that in here) the self-deception. But it is in Scorpio. How deep
is that self-deception? It would seem to me that deep down, underneath, she would know the
truth that she was deceiving herself.
A: You are absolutely right. And based on that deep inner knowing, that is the causal factor in the
guilt. Exactly right. It is not a stupid person here.

Do you all find this kind of interaction useful at this point? And see again, and I will say it again
that I am not trying to make you clones of me, the key is, if you can really understand the nature
of the archetypes, you've got 90% of the battle licked. And that is why I would say when you get
into this kind of work, please remember to read in Pluto, Vol. 1 the chapter Pluto through the
houses, because the essential archetypes are there. Once you grasp these things, details fall into
place, the variations fall into place.

 EXAMPLE CHART TWO (DETAILED ANALYSIS) (12-1.05.20)

Male, born in Germany

white
no specific religious conditioning.
Middle class economic conditions.
Observed evolutionary condition: third stage consensus.
Born into 1935 Berlin. Hitler was already in power, as a general backdrop to the birth. The
question is, why has the Soul chosen to be born into this?

Q: (description of situation in Germany during and after the war).

A: So in effect the original conditioning is one of superiority.

Q: For the male especially!

167
A: And this superiority implies inferiority. So what did Hitler do? He found a scapegoat called the
Jews and the Gypsies. So this is the backdrop, being essentially the dynamic of
superiority/inferiority, dominance/submission. This is starting to sound like S&M stuff, at a
cultural level. And this issue as described between the men and the women - superiority of the
men - men were absent and women had to perform the male role at the cost of their femininity -
obviously implies the woman being placed in a dual role (because let's agree that the essence of
the feminine principle is emotion), in which the man, even if he is present, is not supplying that
feminine with the emotional input that she requires by nature. So what is going to be the
potential psychological consequence in such a mother or woman, through this dual role relative to
not having her emotions honored? Isn't the probable consequence emotional frustration, leading
to anger through her own displaced emotions which are not being honored, which are potentially
projected on the offspring? So if this is the backdrop which this Soul has been born into, given
this set of conditions, looking at this chart, let us now proceed with the analysis. Let's first focus
on the Pluto/South Node conjunction in 8th in Cancer ruled by a Scorpio Moon in 1st, that have a
trine relationship.

Q: And a mutual reception!

A: Yes. So let's just start there. And then with the relationship between this and the Mars/Uranus
opposition in Scorpio/Taurus, 12th/6th. Describe the past life background and the current life
intention.

Could we then say that the actual illusion (Pisces 4th house with Saturn), as you put it, linked
with his sense for security, is totally linked with his need for power and dominance over people?

This is also demonstrated by Saturn. What is the relationship of Saturn to the chart here? We
have a trine to a Mars in Scorpio in 12th. We have South Node in (of all signs) Cancer, in the
Scorpio house. We have Pluto in Cancer in the Scorpio house. We have Moon in Scorpio in the
Aries house. Clearly his illusion of security is based on dominance and power over people. The
security linkage in this way is based on what? This is going to be an individual who was born with
deep psychological knowledge based on many past lifetimes, asking why, why, why? And the
South Node ruler being in 1st, due to his natural psychological gift his illusion of security is based
on making other people (Moon in Scorpio in 1st) dependent (Moon) on this psychological
knowledge, in which he is then perceived as a leader.

Do you understand my point? Some special sort of person, who has this inherent gift from past
lifetimes. And then making them dependent on him relative to his social role, Saturn now coming

168
back to the 10th house, the opposition to Neptune and (at least by sign) to Venus. So you have
this overlay of a career that is linked with power over people relative to the psychological
knowledge. In fact his workplace (he owned a stock brokerage in Hamburg - look at the
symbolism, third stage consensus) is where he would attract these sorts of people. Because his
workers would perceive him (10th/4th) as this kind of icon (Pisces) figure, who had this
psychological knowledge. So they would all seek him out for his advice and this sort of thing.
You see the picture here? So let's continue from that. Here is a question: what was the impact in
his early environment relative to his parental conditions?

Q: - ? A: The father was not giving the backdrop. He was not present. The mother played dual
roles (Saturn in 4th). That was just restated by the Moon in 1st, an extremely dominant Scorpio-
Aries type of mother who had all kinds of displaced anger and used the boy as scapegoat;
lightning rod. Saturn on a psychological level also has a connection to need for domination, need
to be dominant, to dominate over. So if we find this kind of signature (Saturn) in this house
(4th), relative to the Scorpio Moon, the Saturn coming back through Neptune in Virgo and Venus
in Virgo, can we not possibly see here a signature in which the mother herself (4th house) had a
very unsatisfactory inner life - frustration, anger, all now being projected on the boy?

Q: And also seen with Mars in 12th opposing Uranus in 6th!

A: That is right! And so what you have in that connection - you have made a key point - you have
a mother who has symbolized castration (4th) to the boy. Symbolic castration. So how is this
imprint going to surface as an adult male in his relationship to women?

Q: Sexual issues! A: Clearly sexual issues, but more than sexual. It's power issues. In other
words, sex in this case is not going to be sex. It is going to be power. And how is he working out
this fractured inner emotional life relative to the dominant sadistic mother, who is symbolically
perceived as castrating (4th)? Could this possibly lead to a sadistic signature here (7th, 8th) and
the need (8th house, i.e. being vindictive) of getting back? Let's run with this scenario and see
where we come up to.

Q: With the Pluto in Cancer, the gender switch implied by that, would that show a mother ... is
there confusion in gender where he has to be more masculine than his mother?
A: That is a very good way to put it, because of one of the secrets in astrology that I will share
with you now. Take as an example her Moon in Scorpio in the 1st house. That is literally the
same as if you had a Mars/Moon conjunction. Why? It is a naturally Mars-ruled house. If you
have Moon in 2nd, it is like you have a Moon/Venus conjunction. And this is something that

169
hardly any astrologer works with. So if you have got Moon in Scorpio in a natural Mars house, a
de facto Mars/Moon conjunction, you can see the direct link to psychological violent aggression,
anger, coming now in an intensified form by being in Scorpio. This is constituting in an incredibly
large way the nature of his early environment.

Q: But he is also coming from where he was a woman in a past life, coming in now expecting
women to be like he was, and then here is his mother, who is basically the masculine figure in his
life with no father there.
A: Yes, but then the question is why has the Soul picked those conditions? And what you have
underneath this - even if the Soul had a series of many lifetimes as a woman (which is true),
what kind of woman was this Soul? The clue is still in this chart. Is it not a potential signature
here, that this woman herself was like a Mata Hari type, use orientated, manipulative orientated,
abuse orientated. Who as a woman, through this signature (Uranus), would try to castrate men
herself?

There is a thing in our universe called inherent right/wrong. It has nothing to do with religions. I
don't need a religion to tell me that I don't put my child on a freeway. It's just inherently wrong.
So if this is what this woman did in past life, which is inherently wrong, how does this then
contribute to an underlying guilt in the Soul? Which is stated here (Saturn in 4th), stated in
North Node in Capricorn, stated in the 10 th
house planets. And the resulting need to atone
(Virgo), thus setting up the very conditions.

And yet the reality is that when we are children, most of us are not connected to our Soul in a
conscious way. When we are five years old, we are not going: "Yes, I attracted this for this
reason, and this for this reason, and that for that lesson". How many have done that as children?
So, does the child know what's happening to him? This is the importance of the imprint. And so,
even though we can see why it has occurred, the child does not know why it's occurring. And by
the child taking in the mother in this way, this sets up how he is going to be as a man later in life.
So in this case he has felt castrated by this mother, even though he himself has been the
castrator! Do you see my point here? That it is so easy to feel victimized.

So, given all this kind of fractured and displaced emotions that are linked with the symbolic
castration of women, that is now linked with power and sexual issues which are confused, what do
you think his approach is going to be to women, given the fact he has this inherent psychological
knowledge? And he has learned to present himself as this kind of sugar-daddy figure, who has
his own kind of encompassing psychological wisdom. Look where the ruler of 7th is - in Virgo in
10th. Will he not have an instinctual impulse to attract women who are in various states of crisis,

170
thus presenting himself as a sugar-daddy figure, who has his own encompassing psychological
knowledge - I can help! Relative to Saturn in Pisces opposing this thing, would he not attract
people who want to (Pisces) confess what is going on in their life? Finding people in general,
women specifically, in various degrees of absolute desperation in their life. Yes or no? I mean in
a moment of weakness. And from a position of absolute weakness, being able to manipulate the
emotional psychology of such people? Yes or no?

Q: But at some point in his life a confrontation, a crisis will occur, when he will get burnt by this!
A: But what is the probability of him having this kind of honest confrontation with himself? You
have Venus/Neptune sitting in Virgo, you have Uranus in 6th, you have Saturn in Pisces, and Mars
in 12th. Is this not a whole overlay of psychological and emotional denial of where he is coming
from, so he can maintain the rationalization through the consciousness of victimization to justify
in some form, consciously or unconsciously, this sort of behavior?

Q: - ? A: The backdrop! The culture reinforcing it!

Q: ... the health issue (Uranus in Taurus in 6th). It is in Taurus, which is about self-reliance or
protecting self again, and it can be in a negative sense as well!
A: Yes, and let's remember that Uranus in the chart is where our liberation occurs. So if it is now
occurring in 6th, is not the liberation dynamic linked with blowing apart the denial, denial of where
he is coming from, his agendas, his motivations, his intentions. Liberation comes through
liberating from denial, self-denial. But, yet again, given the overall nature of this chart, keeping
in mind that South Node/Pluto is in a fixed house, Moon is in a fixed sign, Mars is in a fixed sign,
Uranus is in a fixed sign: where are the probabilities?

Q: Why would a Soul want to be so fixed?

A: Because of the investment in maintaining the cover-up.

Q: The Soul has an investment in maintaining the cover-up?

A: That's right.

Q: So it doesn't want to evolve then, and that is the negative side: the resistance to evolve.
A: That's right. And actually, if you look at this chart more deeply, you are going to find a Soul
who for many lifetimes experienced inwardly an essential state of paralysis through Virgo,
through the 6th house, through Pisces. An essential inferiority, a very weak inner structure at the
identity level. Now listen! Based on that fact, they will now go all the way back to 2000 years
ago, the beginning of the Piscean age. There has been a compensation for this. Now the clue to

171
the compensation occurs through the 8th house. If there has been an essential sense of
inferiority, weakness, etc., the compensation comes through the 8th house, the need to somehow
gain power. Now I do not expect you to see this in any chart, but I will tell you from my
experiences, this is a Soul who made a conscious contract with evil, the devil, 8th house, in order
to gain that power. And once a Soul does that, it makes a conscious contract (the Scorpio
element, Moon in Scorpio, 8th house) and gains what we can call supernatural power. It is power
beyond a specific ego. It is the power of evil. Now when you link all this to what we just said a
moment ago: castration complexes, etc., displaced emotions coming back out through women,
what can you anticipate now? Will he not have a need to castrate women? And if that is the
functional dynamic, how is that going to manifest psychologically and sexually? This man literally
was a professional sadist in his secret life, meaning he actually learned in a professional sense
psychological and sexual sadism. There are specific methodologies, that start with psychological
manipulation (8th house) of weak people in crisis situations. Can you see the signature?

Q: He attempted to be a charming, good looking man, due to the fact that he has Venus/Neptune
in 10, and they believed that he was wonderful.
A: You're right, because, keeping in mind we said the Descendant is the persona, we find that the
ruler of his persona is where? Conjunct Neptune in 10th and Virgo. The actual way he would
appear in normal life. He would be very humble, very sincere, very kind, very giving, listening
orientated ("Oh, yes!"), this kind of approach. But once he would have captured - now look at the
phenomena of the archetype of capturing here, capturing! Once he would have captured various
women in moments of desperation ... In fact the way he would do it. He would get them to meet
him at a disco after work, so to speak, and pump them full of alcohol to make them even still
weaker. And I mean massive alcohol, to where they had to get led to get home. And once he
would get them into the door, then what?

Q: - ? A: To an extreme degree! In fact this man has murdered women. Not with intention –
inadvertently, through excessive physical stimulation. I can tell you in a very frank way the way
he would do this, if you want to hear it. His sadistic method was to insert both of his hands in
both the woman's openings simultaneously, to the point of making them go unconscious, if not
dead. Now think of that kind of violation and what it does to the Soul, body, psychology. Do you
understand my point? Look at the symbolism here (Uranus in 6). That is absolute domination,
yes or no? And how is this linked with the castration complex? Do you see my point? And while
he was doing it, he was making fun of them, humiliating them with his words. (My most intense
clients are in Germany.)

Q: In the past, if he was powerless, then he would have a tendency (with that Pluto in 8th) to

172
gather his power by identifying with some other figure. Would that perhaps be a motive for him
for coming in, in a Hitler regime, where he could identify with this, and then suddenly that was
removed when he was a child. But the identification with the power through Pluto in 8th could be
to the Hitler regime for the German...
A: That's the point of it, that is why he was born into that time! That served to continue the
justification. How many of you are familiar with Hitler's sexual life and his chief lieutenants? The
Eichmann's and so on. This was the essence of sadism. What did they do in an incredibly
massive way in the concentration camps, in terms of medical experimentations?

Q: I heard about women who were about to deliver and got their legs tied together and just were
let to explode, and both child and mother died!
A: That was just one amongst many things! Most of this isn't even written down, because it is so
hideous! In fact I actually knew one of Hitler's astrologers. He escaped and was living still in
hiding 40 years later in Vancouver. And you should have heard this man talk about Hitler. For
anybody who is a normal person it is beyond to even imagine it, because most of us are sort of
defined by inherent right/wrongs. I mean, just try to understand how a parent can sexually
abuse a child. It is shocking by nature. Why is it shocking? Because it violates natural law!

Q: How does somebody like this, or Hitler, have to play out before the Soul makes some
manifesting change?
A: That's the whole bottom line. Because once a Soul makes a deal with the devil, it cannot be
destroyed until evil itself is destroyed. Think about it.

Q: - ? A: Once a conscious contract is made with evil. I realize these are words, but it is an
actual thing that occurs! And once that contract is made, it is irrevocable.

Q: - ? A: Yes, and the only time this is finally ended, is when evil itself is ended. You have to
remember that the nature of evil (or what the Christians call Satan), the very essence of its
existence, is dependent on the maintenance of human delusions, which are linked now with what
we call separating desires, from an evolutionary view. Any time this omniscient and omnipotent
force we call evil perceives any Soul trying to break free from illusion, i.e. to know God, that very
same force will trigger or push buttons in that person's psyche where
they are most karmically weak. That is exactly how it works.

Q: - ? A: Evil cannot be destroyed until the law of polarity is destroyed. As long as there is time,
space, cause and effect universes, you have inherently polarity. We cannot know God unless
there is an evil. We cannot know day unless there is night.

173
Q: Would there be one astrological signature, showing what that Soul's choice has been, showing
if the choice has been to evil?
A: There is no one signature. But when this contract has been made, you will always find the
archetype of Scorpio involved.

This is in effect a Soul who has tried to capture and possess people for many many lifetimes.
Whether he was male or female makes no difference. When the client (who underwent and just
survived this sadist's treatment) came to me, she was of course very invested in trying to be free,
because what these types of sadist Souls do, relative to their need to possess and capture, is to
plant their "demon seed" in their object's Soul. This is done through creating an absolute state of
immobilization and weakness through these sadistic methods. One of the ways these sadists
operate is through hypnotic language of a repetitious nature. Once you are exposed to such
things like chanting, you go beyond the conscious mind and get into the subconscious. Once they
get into a person's subconscious, the demon seed is planted. So the real question for such a
client is how to remove that demon seed. Do you see my point? And the related question is how
to de-power the sadist's Soul, even though he is still linked with evil. De-powering from the point
of view of what is going on in the sadist's consciousness, to de-power that. Do you see my point?

There is a very specific method in order to do this, a method that actually emanated from an
ancient Tibetan religion (that is no longer here) called Bhum (?). The Tibetan people had an
infinite knowledge about this stuff. What happens in the person's consciousness is that, when the
demon seed (or 'dweller') is planted, the image of that force is simultaneously planted in the
consciousness. So what has to happen first is that the person has to learn, when the image is
coming up, to visualize what we can loosely call laser beam-like lights. The reason is that laser
beams are analogous to the nature of the projected creation in time and space. It is electrical and
magnetic. What the person must do is to project the laser beams into the images. What begins
to happen is that the laser beam is now going to molecularly change the structure of that energy.
Not to the point where it can be totally dissolved in the sense of killing, but in the sense of de-
powering, to where you are in effect taking out the life force. Do you see my point? That is in
fact what evil or the devil is most afraid of.

Imagine it this way. Imagine everybody on earth at the same second in time visualizing in the
ways natural to them what we can loosely call evil, and then projecting into this thing the laser
beam. All in the same moment, simultaneously. What you would actually find on earth in that
moment is massive earthquake, as evil reacted and tried to scare. That's actually what would
happen, through natural law.

174
Q: When projecting this laser, what color should it be?
A: Any colors that come to mind. The best colors to try to visualize are green, blue and yellow.
Those are the natural colors of God. Green is the color of healing. Because when this happens to
such a person affected by these people, believe me, their emotional body is destroyed! And you
have to learn how to recover this. Green is the color for healing the emotional life.

Q: About the laser. If you have a client who is a victim of one of these people, do you direct the
laser at the client, at wherever the seed has been planted in the client who is the victim, or at the
aggressor?
A: You have the client to do it from within himself, relative to the inner image that comes up.

Q: Does this particular sadist (with Uranus in 6th) also do this to animals? A: Yes.

Q: If only once one small laser beam is so applied, is that sufficient to reach enough power to
totally obliterate the dweller...?
A: It takes an ongoing process, because again, you're dealing with supernatural power. The power
these people have is beyond human being.

Q: Can you also do such a beam on somebody who is doing black magic? And does that cause a
battle?

A: Oh, it's a massive battle! Because they also have a supernatural awareness, and in this way it
is just like putting gas on fire. They erupt, they go crazy, because again the intention is to scare,
in order to back off. But we always have to remember, God is stronger. Many people want to
doubt this stuff. Simple example. My own experience. I myself originally had a lot of doubts. I
doubted astrology, I doubted this and that, and of course, Evil. When I was in a Tibetan-type
monastery in the East, I once asked God, “God, if there is in fact such a thing, show it to me!”
And immediately I was descended into what we call the astral hell (in which there are seven
levels, just as there are seven levels of astral heaven). I was immediately put into this place. And
I can tell you from my own experience that this thing exists. And what that place is, one cannot
describe. And yet because I am clearly linked with God, it was like there was a plexiglass effect.
So I could get to just a few inches away from it, viewing all this stuff! But inwardly I was not
frightened at all, because I knew I was connected to God. But the temptation to feel afraid: ah...!

Q: There recently was a suicide in my family, and I had two experiences, one of hell and one of
heaven (description: tape 12-1.58.00).
A: What is underneath this, is the following. When a Soul commits suicide - see, from God's point

175
of view, God does not care why we want to commit suicide - it is against God's law! Period. And
when a Soul does commit suicide, spiritual law dictates that that Soul spend seven days in the
first layer or level of astral hell. The intention from God is to make that experience so severe that
the Soul will never do it again. After those seven days, God is good, believe me! Then the Soul is
taken back to the first level of astral heaven. Immediately it is given some very strong lectures,
but then it is embracing the light. And this is exactly what you have experienced.

Q: If we have control over our birth, why shouldn't we have control over our death? If we have
predetermined our death at birth in some sort of way, what would be the difference from
suicide...?
A: Because there is a law called free choice, that can override natural intention. You have a
plurality of possibilities in any given life relative to choices, which can reach from massive
resistance to the intention of the birth to massive embracing thereof, and all combinations
therein. In his sister-in-law's case, she had become so totally dependent on her lover, who had
furnished this and furnished that, and then suddenly this lover says “I am gone, I've got a new
girlfriend.” But the intention in her chart was to learn self-reliance, inner security. And yet,
because of her own displaced emotions of childhood, she interpreted this unconsciously as
rejection by the original parent, which put her back in the child-like state, creating the thought of
suicide. She made a choice.

Q: ... talking herself to death, would God consider that an unconscious desire to ...?
A: The choice is being made! No matter at what level of existence. There is only one exception to
this rule here, the case like where somebody has a terminal illness, as Aids, and the life is going
to end pretty quickly anyway. At that point this rule does not apply.

Q: And the alcoholic destroying his liver, yet continuing to drink from morning till night?
A: That is a subconscious death wish.**

Q: - ? A: The woman of the first chart we did today (Chart 1) had reached the point of suicide,
based on what was going on in her life. But in another life she did in fact commit suicide. So
when she had this thought come up again, she immediately reacted to it. There was like a voice
in her head that said “No, you cannot do this again!” Do you see my point? And see, when a
Soul does commit suicide, what it essentially means from God's view, is that that Soul has totally
avoided the specific life experiences and/or lessons that it was here to accomplish, the resistance
equaling the suicide. So then what happens after all this drama between astral hell and astral
heaven? Then there is a birth again, a rebirth. And the very things that were avoided, come back
tenfold, so to speak! So, knowing these things. ..!

 SEXUALITY (13-0.01.30)
Let's face it, Western astrology is pretty lacking in relevant knowledge about one's natural sexual
orientation - why that orientation; how this becomes conditioned through religious/societal
overlays; what happens when things become repressed; what is the difference between natural
desire and when that becomes stifled through cultural conditioning, and what is the consequence
thereof; where does the sexual impulse come from in consciousness at a natural level; how does
this connect with what Western religions will then call "Dark Eros", and so on.

I am going to be sharing my experience over many many years of counseling clients from a
sexual point of view. Many years ago - in fact in many ways even today - astrology very much
was in the famous closet with respect to sexual understandings. And many years ago I
volunteered my time in Seattle to a group called The Sexual Minority Center. Because the
essence of astrology is correlation and observation, I wanted to donate my time in order to make
astrological correlations based on these observations. That particular center was working with
transsexuals, transvestites, bisexuals and people that had sexual "abnormalities". I spent a great
deal of time there. And up to this point I've worked with over 15,000 clients in total, from many
cultures. That is a pile of observations and correlations. So what I have to say about this is
coming through direct experience, not some fancy book. We are going to approach this topic
initially from a very large point of view, i.e. from an evolutionary point of view. And then as the
class unfolds we will finally get to the point where I will be giving you all the sexual correlations,
the planets and signs, each one having its own unique structure. We will be detailing Mars and
Venus as primary significators, putting this through signs and houses and so forth, and presenting
a specific astrological methodology that you can apply to any chart, to uncover what I would call
the inherent sexual orientation of any Soul. Because the point there is that each Soul in each life
simply creates the necessary kind of sexual experiences as the overall life requires, with respect
to its ongoing evolutionary needs. Sexual experience, like any other kind of experience,
generating self-knowledge. So the Soul simply creates what it needs to do in each life. Now the
deal is that from the Soul point of view, the Soul in itself operates relative to natural law. But
over great length of evolutionary time, i.e. as humanity or the species evolves, progressively this
has generated what we call civilization. And as civilization unfolds, this becomes a basis of what
we call man-made law and/or religions, which then can have the effect of repressing the desires
that naturally emanate from the Soul. And this creates its own complications.

The first thing to remember is that if we go way back into time, the original human species had
one brain in it, called the primary brain. Now the primary brain is still resident to the brain. The
primary brain, long ago and today, regulates all the instinctual functions of the organism, the
involuntary functions of the organism. Now there is an instinct in all forms of life, including the

178
human species, to survive. The survival instinct emanates from the primary brain. A form of
survival is the necessity of procreating the species. If the species could not procreate itself, it
could not survive. This is the origin of what we call sexual instinct, relative to the procreational
instinct. So this then means that the sexual instinct itself emanates from the primary brain.

Now, long ago, when there was only this primary brain, the human species was in direct and
absolute harmony with natural law. The human species long ago did not and could not separate
itself from the totality of nature. It was at one with nature, just as a wolf is still one with nature,
or an eagle, or a fish, or an ant. Long ago, the human species functioned just like them, and was
then living-in a very harmonious way within nature, i.e. natural law. And at that point in time,
even though the human species did not have the word nor the language that we have now, we
can look backwards and then say that the human species was naturally living in a Shamanistic
state. A Shamanistic state, or a daemon state, is simply a state in which consciousness is linked
with nature, no separation thereof. Now, long ago the procreational instinct in the human species
was extremely primary. They did not have Playboys then, nor Playgirls, nor pornographic movies.
And the original sexual instinct emanating from the species was very primary. It was
procreational.

In fact, in many ways the sexual act was quite violent. No different than how even today, for
example, the monkeys and the cats mate - a relatively violent act. In other words, there wasn't
any sexual sophistication, because it was operating in an essentially primary way to procreate the
species. And originally, the human species - check this out - was non-monogamous. The reason
is, originally the evolutionary need dictated non-monogamy in order to generate diversity of the
gene pool. Now there was a natural selection process at that time, as there is today in all forms
of natural life. The selection process, i.e. the pairing of gender male/female attraction, was
simply determined by scent. According to the terminology we have in our times, this was caused
by pheromones, that naturally emit a smell from the skin. In other words, pheromones/smell was
a determinant generating the selection of pairing relative to species, which then allowed for
evolutionary diversity of the species, diversity of the gene pool.

In all forms of life today this is still occurring. This is why animals have a very acute sense of
smell in general, and specific to sexual selection. Now this fact alone is extremely interesting to
examine. Why? Because in our times, and progressively within the last 2000 years or so, the
human species has gotten into the habit of blurring this natural pheromones/smell. Why? How?
Through deodorants, perfumes, soaps, etc. Now think of this one fact, how this masks or blurs
the natural smell. Do you see my point? That now directly impacts on the natural selection

179
process. Now this is quite fascinating, because even though the pheromones are still happening,
the human species, by involving themselves in these kinds of artificial smells, has simultaneously
blunted the acuteness or the sensitivity of smell in such a way that the instinct emanating from
the primary brain generating natural selection is itself confused.

A simple example. If you look back into your life (we've all probably had different sexual partners)
how many of you had an initial instinctual reaction to the smell coming from a partner that wants
to drive you away, and yet you override it? Versus another partner that you were with whose
smell wants to bring you closer, and in some extreme cases wanted you to get into, inside that
partner? So my question becomes, what does it mean when we have this instinctual reaction that
we override? If we're having that natural repelling reaction and yet we override it, what does this
actually mean? From the point of view of evolution, from the point of view of karma, from
the point of view of interrupting the natural selection process? What are the implications here?

This is a very, very interesting issue, because stepping back and looking at it from another view,
every human being on earth carries their genetic and karmic background, evolutionary
background, in their sexual fluids. So once we have sexual intercourse, there is an exchange of
such fluids, that are mutually osmosed. Once we are osmosing whomever we are sleeping with
and vice versa, we are exchanging that karmic genetic evolutionary background, in such a way as
to alter our own natural evolutionary and karmic progression. The simplest way to know this - is it
not true that those we have slept with are more deeply inside of us than those that we have not?
We all know this as a truth. That is the truth of the exchange of karma.

So my point is, how is the intake of such karma, mutually exchanged, itself altering the smell that
emanates from the pheromones? And what potential role does this have generating attraction or
repulsion to the smell emanating from one another? Now this is a very deep topic, and of course
most people in these light cultures and/or guilt-ridden cultures don't want to look at such things.
They are blunted for those things. As an example, there are women who are not exercising sexual
discrimination, i.e. overriding the instincts and thus sleeping with a relative volume of men. What
actually happens through the intake of men's sperm/karma/evolutionary-background/genetic-
background in this way is the following. By the intaking of this kind and volume of sperm,
interfacing with their own natural biochemistry and the like, what will progressively happen over
time is that the natural smell that emanates from them becomes relatively foul, dark, deep, dense
smell. Versus a woman who exercises some degree of discrimination. The smell emanating from
such a woman is quite the opposite, there is a clarity to this smell. Do you understand my point?
The most direct way for this to be experienced, of course, is that what emanates from the vaginal
region. These are just reflections of natural laws that become violated.

180
Similarly for men. The way that this is directly known through the man's fluids is not only the
smell that emanates through the skin in general, but specifically with respect to the quality and
nature of the semen or sperm. Because this itself can have different smell, as women all know.
And if you taste it, so to speak, it will taste different. For men that have exercised some level of
discrimination there is more of a kind of bittersweetness taste/smell, whereas for those who have
not, it is directly repulsive, it tastes extremely bitter. All of us know these truths, yes? We are
just having the courage to put words on it.

Again, we are trying to look at this from the point of view of evolution. I guess the thing to say at
this point is that all of us should probably at this point in time learn how to honor our own
instinctual response in these matters. I mean, if you are having a natural repulsive reaction,
there is a reason for it. And perhaps the lesson here is to honor the darned thing. Just that
instinctual reaction is the point. If we step back and look at it from another point of view,
imagine that everybody on earth at the same moment in time could do such a thing. What this
would then mean is a realignment in the species, relative to natural selection. What would then
be the implications for the species over hundreds of years from now? (About important natural
ways - such as Sanicle - of sexual/emotional/Soul healing relative to unwanted sexual fluid intake
etc: tape 13-0.52.00 to 13-1.02.40.)

As mentioned before, the original brain in the human species is the primary brain, which
astrologically correlates with Mars and Moon. Now, over great lengths of time the human species
has evolved the cerebral cortex. And progressively there has been a transference in the center of
gravity in consciousness, termed the primary brain, to this cerebral cortex, even though what we
call consciousness itself emanates from the brain stem. Most people don't know this. What we
call consciousness emanates from the brain stem/primary brain. So what I mean by the center of
gravity being transferred: people have stopped living from their instinctual nature, are no longer
living primarily in an instinctual way. The human brain has evolved the cerebral cortex, relative
to the evolution of dendrites in the brain itself, in such a way that there has been a transference
from living in a primary or instinctual way (i.e. where the human species is linked with nature), to
living much more in a mental way, through the development of the dendrites, which has allowed
for the progressive awareness of everything. Long ago the human species could not tell you the
physics of reality. They just lived it. But as the species has evolved, in the cerebral cortex,
dendrites, and so on, this simply correlates with the species' capacity, the evolving capacity to
mentalize, intellectualize, and thus philosophize its experience. So, as a result the human species
has gotten away from living in this primary instinctual way. Progressively, through the evolution
of the cerebral cortex, this has become the basis of living from a natural state to what we can now
call sophisticated forms of civilization. And as the human species evolved along these lines,

181
simultaneous to this kind of evolution there has been the progressive creation of societies. And
necessarily so. Because for any group of people to live together in some degree of organization or
harmony, there has to be a consensus contract, a social contract that we call social customs,
taboos, norms, regulations, laws, and the like. If this did not occur or was not necessary, the
consequence would be anarchy. How many of you would like to live in anarchy?

So as we have moved into this kind of sophistication, via civilized societies, this becomes again
the basis of social contracts, conventions, and all these things, which then have had the
progressive effect of repressing or suppressing the natural instincts emanating from the primary
brain, including the sexual instinct. This is simultaneous to the invention of man-made religions:
man-made! When you read the Bible, this is written by men, not women. So with any other
religion that you can currently define: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, etc., all written by men. And
these kinds of man-made religions then become the basis of man-made moralities, man-made
"spiritual laws". This is an interesting thing, because long ago, again, the original religion, even
though there was no terminology for this, was inherently Shamanistic. That was the first religion,
so to speak, of the human species, even though it was not conceived this way, but simply lived.
It is what an American Indian would currently call Mother Earth. And think of this term "Mother
Earth": what this actually means is that the original spirituality, so to speak, was linked with the
earth, and had nothing to do with stars, heavens, hells, spiritual hierarchies, Madame Blavatsky's,
Alice Bailey's, rays, and all this.

So in essence the first form of spirituality was feminine, what we in our terminology would call
Matriarchal. And this was the prevailing way for hundreds of thousands of years. And in terms of
recent evolution, i.e. just going back 6000 to 8000 years now (from the point of view of evolution
this is nothing), at that time the transition began from a matriarchal/natural/Mother Earth form of
spirituality to the patriarchal form. Astrologically, this transition happened in the
Cancer/Capricorn age. And here we see the transition of gender assignment. That became the
basis of all these artificial forms of religion that were essentially created by men. And the first
presumption in man-made religions (and this is a presumption, and is also wrong) is the need to
repress or suppress the sensation life of the body, senses or emotions/sexuality. The
presumption being to do so is to advance or expand consciousness. This is detailed in many
methodologies throughout the world. The one that is most common, the one that is most
available for you to see it through, is linked with the Garden of Eden myth. Now, in this myth,
what are we looking at? Woman is presented as serving as the original temptation for man's
"spiritual downfall", the temptation manifesting through the world of senses, sensuality and
sexuality. So right here we have the original basis, within the myth, of guilt. Woman made to
feel guilty for that what she naturally is. Man made to feel guilty for his succumbing to the

182
temptation. So in both cases we have guilt. Now the presumption in this myth is that man is
more inherently spiritual than woman. So presenting that in this way, you now have the origin of
superiority/inferiority as well as dominance/submission.

Think about this. Because woman is presented now as inferior, relative to symbolizing the world
of emotions, senses, sensuality, and sexuality, you have guilt, and now the need to atone, to
purify. And because man gave in to the temptation, we have guilt now linked with anger. Anger
at whom? The one who symbolizes the temptation. Now we see the original basis of sado-
masochism. Yes or no? So this myth, in essence is an S&M myth, let's face it. And the simplest
way for you to know it in our time, in a not overt way: woman doing the same job as man,
woman makes (earns) less. Even at that level.

So you can see then from these types of myths that the assumption is to suppress senses, to
suppress the natural desires emanating from the primary brain. Once anything is suppressed it
becomes distorted. Which is why, since the transition from the matriarchy to the patriarchy
occurred, natural sexual desires linked with natural sexual laws have become distorted. Once this
comes through various types of cultures, as in the Garden-of-Eden myth, with these types of
assumptions, you can clearly see the linkage now to sexual violence or sexual distortions of all
kinds. Which then become the basis of things like Playboys, Playgirls, glamorizing sexuality,
pornographic movies, sexual abuse phenomena, sexual dominance, sexual violence, the hideous
form of S&M sexuality. And the problems with the enforced celibacy for Catholic priests, often
leading to sexually abusing boys. The point there is that Christian priests try to be celibate, but
the reality is that only 2% of the entire world population is naturally celibate. By trying to enforce
celibacy relative to these kinds of religious doctrines, you create distortion. From this point of
view we have the terminology called "Dark Eros". Now we can only use this kind of terminology
relative to what? Man-made religions, man-made moralities, meaning that which is inherently
natural cannot be "dark". It simply is. It is not white, it is not dark, it just is. So "dark" here is a
judgmental implication coming from man-made religions.

Q: Is there a connection between the right brain and the primary brain?
A: Absolutely so, because the right brain is a non-linear brain that is very intuitive. The right
brain responds to natural law. The left brain is that which is truly conditioned. And astrologically
interesting, Jupiter/Sag/9th house correlate with the right brain, these are the archetypes that
correlate with natural law.

Q: - ? A: There is no natural selection occurring here. And also when you go back to the issue of
mixing up karma stuff, in which the person is now overriding the reactions of smell, this can

183
become its own basis of having deformed babies, estranged babies, and the like.

Q: I think that Jupiter entering its natural sign in a few days from now will have an overall effect
on the universe to get in touch with their primary feelings. Do you agree?
A: I think it is too soon in evolution right now for that to occur. I think that in a certain small
percentage of people, yes, this will be the case. I think it presages the return to a daemon
archetype. It is what Rudhyar did in fact call seed people. In this decade, he predicted there
would be a small percentage of seed people that re-orientated to the original vision, so to speak.
And these seed people would be the initial teachers (Jupiter) that would serve in their capacities,
in their own ways, through their own influences, to ignite this type of awareness in those that
they work with. Over time this becomes analogous to the dandelions in the wind. So over
hundreds or a couple of thousand years, this would progressively expand. So right now I think
this is a presaging thing. And I think what is going necessarily to occur first, is a more obvious
breakdown in nature. Because nature has its own natural laws, whether there is a human being
present to observe them or not, and they work all by themselves. And in the end I think most of
us will agree that nature and the power of nature, the laws of nature, are much stronger than the
human being.

The analogy I like to use in this case is the following. Make a picture in our brain that we are now
way out in space looking at the earth, like on earth looking through a microscope. The human
species would be analogous to cancer cells in the human organism, relative to earth/nature.
What does the body do when cancer is present? It isolates those cells in an effort to expel.
Similarly Gaia or nature, daemon, will isolate the organism upon it that is destructive to the entire
system. Which is exactly why we have things like Aids. And that is just the beginning.

Because with the increasing radiation to the earth via the breakdown in the atmosphere, the
radiation generates mutation at a genetic level. And so on. It is a very vast thing that we are
looking at here. And what is the causal factor in Aids? Sexual transmission of fluids. So we can
clearly see this is a symbol of distortion. And if you look at it symbolically, what does the Aids
virus do? This thing is called a retrograde virus, retrograde! And what it actually does is that it
latches onto the RNA/DNA (Plutonian), and, through osmosis, changes the genetic coding,
structuring, messaging, within that genetic coding, primarily impacting on the immune system.
In such a way as to turn the immune system on itself. Such that the organism that the Aids virus
is in dies. So you can clearly see the symbolism of suicide. The Aids virus killing itself, so to
speak, and the organism that it is in. Symbolic suicide. What are the larger metaphysical
ramifications, relative to natural law, to the entire species here? What is the message? This is
nature's way of communicating! Think about it that way. So my view is, yes, Jupiter is going

184
through Sag, Pluto is going through Sag, and what we can clearly see here, beyond politics,
economics, and the like, is a direct implication in nature. And it has been no mystery here in the
last few years. If we watch the news, see what's happening on the planet. Earth wallops, natural
events, nature events. So to me, this will be increasing. In any case, my view is, to answer your
question, yes, nature is going to be erupting like crazy, or will reveal the truth.

As an example, one of the greater secrets now in many cultures around the planet, including this
one, is an incredible contamination of the food sources, food supply, starting with milk as an
example. The incredible pollution of the ground waters (that comes down as rain, by the way,
too, so it gets recycled). The toxins become recycled. The incredible increasing breakdown in the
atmosphere of the earth itself. And the point there, is that which is contaminated generates
toxin. Even as we speak, the way the genetic code has currently evolved. Theoretically it
supports life to 150 years of age, but how come nobody is living that long? The answer is: based
on toxicities, toxic intake. Toxins are Pluto, Scorpio, 8th house.

Going back to this point of Moon/Mars, keeping in mind again that they directly connect to the
primary brain and the instincts that emanate there, including sexual instincts that are natural to
the Soul. Every chart has a Moon and Mars (and house, sign, aspects they are making). This will
directly correlate to the natural instincts, sexually speaking, that emanate from the primary brain.
From the point of view of judgmental religions, this is called your "Dark Eros". And if in fact you
have been suppressing this for the reasons that we have been discussing, you can also see that
what you are either repressing and/or how such desires have become distorted through the act of
repression or trying to control. Example: a woman or a man who has Mars in Pisces (the gender
makes no difference here, the archetype is relevant). Mars in Pisces has a deep inner instinct to
surrender to a larger power or larger force or spirit, or spirituality, or God. Now, surrendering is
then linked with the need to become dominated. From a spiritual point of view, dominated by
God, surrendering to God. When you link this to a sexual instinct, it translates into the need, the
desire to be consumed, Pisces. Consumed by what? God, Spirit. Now there is nothing inherently
wrong with the desire to be consumed, there is nothing inherently wrong with the desire to be
infused with God's spirit, or sexually surrendering to partner, or infused with partner. But if this
(through man-made religions) becomes overlaid, through conditioning, suppression, guilt
associated because of, can we now see the potential linkage at a primary brain level, relative to
the cerebral cortex, that that sort of person can become confused (Pisces) of how to positively or
naturally actualize it, now leading into the potentiality of S&M type domination? Because of the
guilt association and the need now for self-punishment, relative to that what is natural?

We all have a Mars and Moon. So if you just look into your horoscope, you can rapidly determine

185
what these natural sexual instincts are. The primary brain level within yourself, and, from an
evolutionary point of view, for what reasons. And then if you connect it to
conditioning/suppression, how these natural desires became distorted, manifesting as specific
sexual activity or behavior.

Q: Is the primary brain connected to the feminine element?

A: Absolutely so! Because this goes right back to where we started, that the original human
species, so to speak, lived part and parcel within nature, Mother Earth. Why is it, for example,
that when a life form is originally created through the act of procreation, all life forms are
originally feminine? Why is this? Is this just some sort of coincidence? What this actually means
is that the feminine, or the feminine principle, is the origin of the male principle! Think about it!
The human embryo is initially feminine. It is meant to become masculine when it evolves into
that. Also, male genitalia are the externalization of the female genitalia. So this should probably
suggest to us that the original creation principle is feminine.

Whereas, relative to man-made religions, relative to the patriarchy, this is now translated into the
male God and this anthropomorphic character that is supposed to be out there in space. And you
see it goes right back to primary brain survival instinct, that it was necessary for the feminine
principle to manifest the male principle. Why? Because obviously a male body has different
capacity than a female body. It is stronger. It lends itself to more physical labor, it lends itself to
protection. Long ago, human species was in many ways frightened by nature, that was an
omnipresent force. This is just natural evolution. It is a very fascinating thing. In fact, there is a
group of scientists out of Great Britain, men, evolutionary biologists, who wrote a book called The
Redundant Male. They were actually able to empirically prove (this also connects now to the
Virgin Mary, the immaculate conception) that the woman, even today, in terms of potential, has a
capacity to recreate the species without the man. We can still see this in various forms of nature,
as in the seahorse, which changes gender relative to necessity, impregnating itself within itself.
And there are other forms of life that can do this. So this capacity still exists in the feminine.

THE NATURAL EVOLUTION OF SEXUALITY (13-1.12.45)

Roughly 70% of any collective mass is simply in a consensus state. The consensus state is the
Saturnian principle, i.e. the need to conform. From that point of view, sexually speaking, this is
what we call common sexuality, primary or base or gross sexuality. What in vernacular we can
call "sweat and saliva routine". And, of course, this is, in our times, full of Playboys, Playgirls,
and all the sexual imagery generated therein, and how sex at that level becomes horribly
unbeaten and incredibly glamorized, for many even considered the meaning of life itself. And this
becomes the basis, via distortion, of everything that you know in modern times. Sexual abuse

186
issues, sexual violation issues, rape issues, priest abusing boy issues, and pornographic films (this
is what we call sexual imagery, based on distortion). Seventy percent of any mass living in this
state, and, from the point of view of evolution, necessarily so.

But then there are two other conditions to account for, the individuated state, and the spiritual
state, from the point of view of sexuality as it evolves towards natural celibacy. Meaning, there
does come a point in the Soul's evolution where the sexual impulse is not manifesting as in the
pure physical sexuality, naturally speaking. For example, in the astral plane there is no physical
or sexual intercourse. Babies are born there, but not from the act of procreational sex. It occurs
through the mind, the true immaculate conception. This is actually one of the reasons that so
many Souls keep coming back to earth. Why? They are addicted to the senses, but they are
there in a "universe", the astral realm, in which there is in fact no physical sexuality. This is not
so comfortable to many Souls. And so, that itself dictates coming back. So before one can arrive
at a state of natural celibacy, as in the greatly evolved spiritual types (the Buddhas and
Yogananda types. And, let's face it, most of us are not like that yet), is a long journey, friends!
Now there is what is called a midpoint, i.e. a transition between base sexuality and celibacy, and
this is called Tantra. Tantra (in English: ritual) is the midpoint vehicle through which the evolution
from primary to celibacy occurs, meaning from profane sexuality to sacred sexuality. Now let us
examine this quite deeply, because it goes right back to what we discussed earlier, the transition
between the matriarchy and the patriarchy.

Long ago, when "spirituality" was basically defined through the matriarchy, Mother Earth, there
was an original Tantra called matriarchal Tantra, which is fundamentally different from, and in
fact antithetical to, what we now call patriarchal Tantra. This is the heart of the matter. First of
all let's examine, what is Tantra, i.e. ritual. It is to employ specific sacred sexual practices in
order to expand consciousness, the intention of which is to unite with divinity. The divinity that is
in each partner, relative to the ultimate divinity. That is the intention. So, there are two kinds,
matriarchal and patriarchal.

Now, the transition occurred roughly 7000 years ago, Cancer/Capricorn time, and this directly
correlates with an ancient culture called the Davidians, which was located in what is now called
India. And this is the time of the famous Aryan invasion, i.e. white people, white men. A direct
quote from that time (a man's words) was: "Women have the capacity for unlimited sexual
response. Man, in his current state of evolution, delusively feels he cannot, i.e. a man has
orgasm and goes to sleep." This is also interesting from the point of view of the Garden of Eden
myth. Think about what we said earlier about anger/guilt, atonement/guilt, temptation, senses
etc. - spiritual downfall.

187
Now this will help any woman explain a certain fact. How many women here have had the
experience where some man is coming unto you, and of course initially they are all quite
emotionally placating and doing all these things to get you to have intercourse with them. And,
once you do so, they suddenly become emotionally remote, withdrawn, and sometimes angry. Do
you see the connection now to the Garden of Eden myth - it is the unconscious or subconscious,
that got conditioned long ago, reacting. Do you see my point now? And this is its own problem
for men, by the way, because this kind of conditioning (whether you accept this or not consciously
in your life) is operative in your subconscious. We all have had other lifetimes. And how many
men in this room have not experienced that at the act of orgasm they feel like there is a loss
that's going on within them. This is directly connected to the stupid myth. They have bought in
to this program, so to speak. Returning now to the Davidian time, when a man made this
observation and this quote, this then became the change between matriarchal and patriarchal
Tantra. This was the origin of the patriarchal Tantric doctrine, when man was taught to suppress
the ejaculation of sperm. And then they invented all the groovy words to support this thing: i.e.
"it nutriates the system and does this and does that". And many disciplines still carry this
delusion, even Taoism (which is actually a form of natural law, that got a little bit distorted). The
reality is that, sure, man can suppress his sperm, but it comes into the bladder and is then
urinated away. This is what actually occurs. They invented this doctrine to mimic the female.
This is where it actually comes from.

Q: Was this a form of spite?

A: It was a form of jealousy, and feeling threatened, inferior, and they wanted to mimic the
female.

Matriarchal Tantra is just the opposite. Matriarchal Tantra has an incredibly exquisite knowledge,
natural knowledge, of anatomy and physiology. And they evolved very specific what we can
loosely call "sexual methods" of a sacred nature. I mean, at this level it is not even sexual
anymore. It is actually using this energy to expand divinity, and so on. Nonetheless they evolved
very, very specific methods of a sexual nature that involved the intense employment of the
senses. And by intensely involving, at least initially, the senses, this simultaneously awakened
what is called the Kundalini gland, which in turn then allowed the emotional body and
consciousness to simultaneously expand, through the intense employment of the senses. And in
matriarchal Tantra, the core intention is to what they would call ignite the involuntary nerve and
muscle systems that are linked to the genital area. And once those (these are now their words)
are then set in motion, (think of those words, set in motion - the involuntary system set in
motion), not only does it ignite the Kundalini gland, but the entire organism expands to the point
of actually regressing the natural aging of the system.

188
Now this I know through direct experience. I spent a period of time in Nepal, where at one
moment suddenly a certain woman materialized in front of me and said “Come this way!” And
then I found myself in an ancient matriarchal Tantric temple that was very hidden (you couldn't
find it when you were looking for it, so to speak). Here again the matriarchal way is that their
traditions are passed orally. The chief woman there was telling me much of what this is all about,
and told me that later on in my life I would be, in my own way, at the right time, sharing some of
this to the appropriate people, because it goes right back to the re-emergence of natural law, etc.
Now this particular woman chronologically speaking was over 200 years old, and yet physically
appeared to be around 65. I will say no more. This I've seen with my eyes. Given my Scorpio
nature, it constituted proof.

So the matriarchal system has these sorts of intentions. Their methods are very specific, and if I
told you what they are, you would be shocked out of your wits. Their methods work. And the
issue here again, it all comes down to right intention. The only thing I am saying now is that
there is a total difference between matriarchal Tantra and patriarchal Tantra. It is true that
through patriarchal Tantra you can in fact expand your consciousness, just as you can do it
through meditation, but patriarchal meditations have the same assumption, repression of senses.
And this is why (again, through my direct experience) I have seen so many men in spiritual
life/monasteries go crazy, literally crazy. Why? The expanding consciousness is not integrated in
the entire organism. It is why so many men in such life smoke cigarettes, they are repressing
something natural. God is the origin of the law of everything, including sexuality. It is quite
natural. Once you understand the proper use of sexual energy, you will rapidly realize this is one
of God's ways of teaching the Soul that it is in fact a co-creator of universes with Itself. This is
the ultimate intention. So, yes, you can expand consciousness through patriarchal Tantra, but at
the same time there is a disengagement, so to speak, even though the body is involved. Think of
this contradiction of energy!

189
 PLUTO IN THE SIGNS (13-1.32.20)
We have to remember that the sexual instinct or impulse emanates from the Soul. This is the
ultimate origin. So the point, again, is that, if you remember that in each Soul there is a dual
desire structure (one desire to separate, one to return), you can now clearly see how this is
specifically linked with the natural evolutionary conditions of a grouping of people. If I am in a
consensus state, I am really defined around the desire to separate in all kinds of ways, including
sexual, which is then the origin of these base forms of sexual expression. Once you begin to
evolve to the individuated and the spiritual, you are now putting more emphasis on the desire to
return to the source. Sexually linked, it then becomes, through the Soul, the connection to
Tantra. It is a natural transition. Of course, Pluto is going to be in any given sign for millions of
people. What does this mean? How does this correlate with evolution? What is the connection to
the evolution of the species on the planet? As an example, if we look at the Pluto in Leo grouping
and make this now specific to sexual desire at a Soul level, relative to the Leonian archetype,
what would it mean? What kinds of desires would be specific to Leo, versus, say, desires specific
to Pluto in Virgo or Pluto in Libra, or Pluto in Scorpio? And how does this directly connect to the
evolution of the entire planet? Now, if we step back and look at this, Pluto in Leo is like having
Pluto conjunct Sun, a de facto conjunction. Now, if we link this specifically to sexuality, what kind
of sexual desires would manifest in this way? Intuit it! Think of Leo terms here: Pluto/Sun/Leo.

Q: - ? A: This is true. And from that point of view, could we say that a certain percentage of this
generation, perhaps the majority, are approaching sexuality from a purely narcissistic point of
view? Now is it also possible that, from a majority point of view, this is the origin of sexual
creativity, Leo? We are using the word creativity here in a euphemistic sense. Remember that
Leo has a direct connection to film, acting. So is it any surprise, relative to the Pluto in Leo
generation, that this is the origin of pornographic film and the glamorization therein, and thus the
basis of sexual imagery? And, somehow, this is supposed to be linked with sexual creativity.
Think of the books that came out from this generation - "The Joys of Sex". Or, because there has
been a transmigration of ideas from the East to the West when Pluto was in Gemini in the late
1800's, bringing this up to the Pluto in Leo crowd, then all of a sudden there was some interest, in
some of these people, in the Kama Sutra from India, that is just really a document of sexual
positions of a rather interesting nature (gymnastic things). This is pure egocentric
aggrandizement, quite Leonian.

I think that we also should remember that all of us evolve through polarity, and the polarity point
for this generation is Aquarius. Then we find out there is an obvious need to liberate from this
kind of egocentric, narcissistic, delusive orientation to sexuality, a transference between two
people who are being together sexually for relatively narcissistic reasons; to Aquarius, developing

190
an objective awareness of one another. Most of you in this room have had lovers of course that
were primarily there for their own reasons. Women know this specifically.

Q: - ? A: I don't see it this way. You have to remember Pluto in Leo follows Pluto in Cancer, and
the Pluto in Cancer generation in this time frame clearly was a generation that was extremely
emotionally frustrated because of the social/religious conditioning. The man was essentially
taught to be utterly stoic, always in control, always responsible, duty bound, limited gender
expression, Marlboro man. And, of course, the woman was taught to be Betty Crocker, the
famous role in the family to make the cookies and change the diapers. And the complete
polarization of this kind of gender application generating a tremendous amount of emotional rage
based on suppression. And the Pluto in Leo group is born from this generation. So what kinds of
things were occurring from the Pluto in Cancer parent to the Pluto in Leo child? You had abuse.

Q: - ? A: But that is the issue of emotional displacement. I mean, this is one of the great things
that are coming out in our time now, Pluto in Scorpio making a trine back to that original Cancer
point and squaring the Leo point. When you put this in the context of Neptune/ Uranus in
Capricorn, which originally was in Sag, which was the beginning of all the talk shows. And within
the talk shows, every time you turned on the darned thing (at least for a couple of years), there
was the next panel on sexual abuse.

But the intention was to make this a collective awareness, to take that original secret (Pluto in
Cancer) out of the closet, in order for the collective to become aware, so it could be changed. But
the bottom line here is that, as most people are now becoming aware of, there was a tremendous
level of abuse occurring in the Pluto in Cancer parent to the child. Even if it was not sexual
abuse, it was psychological/emotional abuse. It is very interesting, because that Pluto in Cancer
generation (not every single person, but in general), when they were children (having Pluto in
Gemini parents), they were expected to just be there, objects in space. But because of their own
imprinting, as that Pluto in Cancer generation began to mature and became parents themselves,
i.e. birthing Pluto in Leo people (needing to be recognized and acknowledged), based on their
frustration when they were children, progressively these Pluto in Cancer parents began to parent
differently in the 1950's. The whole approach to parenting in this country totally changed, and
the child was now considered special. They meant to now give them all this attention.
Nonetheless, within that, the Pluto in Cancer folks as parents were still highly frustrated. They
were all still locked in into their roles. And frustration linked with anger becomes a causal factor
in psychological abuse or sexual abuse that occurred within families, Pluto in Cancer. It is like
having Pluto/Moon conjunction. So, if you throw in symmetry, Cancer makes a natural square to
Aries. Violence!! It is not in every family that this occurred, but in a large amount (which we

191
now become aware of). So, in fact, the Pluto in Cancer parents, through their own displaced
emotions, transfer this to the Pluto in Leo crowd. Do you see my point?

And that becomes then the imprinting that the Pluto in Leo Soul is now receiving. And I know this
from my own experience. My mother tried to murder me when I was four years old. She has
Pluto in Cancer. She herself was brought up in an abusive environment. It just gets transferred.
And I have Pluto in Leo.

In any case, for Pluto in Leo, the polarity point is Aquarius. This means something is being
liberated here, yes or no? Now, what is it that is being liberated?

Q: - ? A: O.K., or sexual dominance from an egocentric, self-pleasuring point of view. But the
deeper issue here, I think most of us would agree, just looking at the nature of our times, is that
the whole phenomena of sexuality has been made disproportionate, it has been made almost like
an end in itself. I think the liberation point here (Aquarius), is to put the role of sexuality back
into its proper perspective, so that it becomes proportionate to the entire life.

With Pluto in Scorpio making a square to the original Leo point, you clearly see the manifestation
- Aids, etc. And there is now almost a reverse movement amongst an increasing percentage of
people in our times, that is coming from the Pluto in Virgo crowd, which is now the "Let us wait
and not have sex until we are married" routine. You see, this sets up this whole Pluto in Virgo.
Because to me, again, Pisces/Virgo in our time directly correlates with the S&M archetype. Why?
It emanates from the Garden of Eden myth, which started (at least the Christian version) right
around the year 0 A.D., i.e. Pisces. And now we are in the Virgo sub-age. Now think of this,
because you have got a large amount of people with Pluto in Virgo. Take one segment of it: the
Punk Rockers and/or the Rappers. Examine the nature of the lyrics in Rap music, the essence of
dominance/submission, inferiority/superiority, degradation, humiliation, using women as sexual
objects.

Q: - ? A: That's right. And how many of these Pluto in Virgo kids are walking around with
leathers and chains and piercing, which are essentially S&M sexual costumes. What this suggests
to me, given the Pisces polarity, is that hopefully this is the generation to bring up and out this
whole S&M bullshit. Right now, if you go to certain countries such as Germany, there is a total
renaissance of S&M sexual behavior. They have their own parades going down the streets, in full
costume. There is a whole underground throughout Germany that is alive and well, and most of it
is inhabited by Pluto in Virgo people. So do you see what I am getting at in terms of these
generational movements? Each generation trying to bring something to a head that preceded it,

192
in order to liberate it or change it - the polarity points. And clearly the polarity point for Virgo
(which is Pisces), hopefully is to realign the collective Soul with sacred forms of sexual
expression, Pisces. Or, if we go back to another view, natural law, or what we can call the
daemon archetype. The entire daemon archetype or natural law is reflected through the entire
linkage to Sag/Gemini/Virgo/Pisces, a mutable grand cross inherently structured within the
zodiac/consciousness. Do you see what I am getting at now?

Q: - ? A: The whole generation is riddled (permeated) by guilt.

Q: - ? A: Pluto in Virgo ended in 1972. And this is a whole group, by the way, with respect to the
Western world, their deepest Soul structure is defined essentially through the ancient Roman and
Greek cultures. Now, think in terms of how the Roman and Greek cultures were sexually
orientated. Like in any society there were groupings or segments, and one of the major segments
for a major period of time in history was defined through the cult of Dionysus. Which is an
absolute form of hedonism, totally surrendering to this impulse in an absolutely indiscriminate
way. They would take, say, a week at a time, to become totally drunk and then totally having
intercourse with whomever at will. Nobody resisted anything.

Q: How about Pluto in Gemini? A: Well, from a common point of view, you're looking at the nature
of religions: Sagittarius/Gemini. Thought structures of a religious nature do condition what?
And, if you go back before that, you know the last time Pluto was in Scorpio, for this country, the
major trip at that time was keeping blacks and whites separated. There were actually laws made
to prevent interracial marriage. And if you go right back to this delusion of somehow trying to
maintain purity relative to races, what now with Pluto in Scorpio again? What do we see in our
world? And what was the intention of this Bosnian-Serb evil asshole to have the other Bosnians
impregnated by men, thus having babies which everybody would then reject because of the lack
of purity. This is evil Hitler-type of stuff. So, in any case each generation has its own trip to fulfill.

You can just watch it like clockwork. Watch when the Pluto in Libra crowd really becomes mature.
Follow that later to the Pluto in Scorpio crowd. You are going to be shocked! Do you understand
these points now? And then, of course each of us is an individual. Where is Pluto located
individually in your chart - house, aspects to other functions? Example, I have got Pluto in Leo,
but it is in the 9th house. Now we are talking about natural laws. Coincidence? Do you see how
it works now? And my Mars is in Sag, what am I talking about? Moon is in Pisces, what am I
talking about?

193
 MARS and VENUS (14-0.05.00)
We know Mars is a lower octave of Pluto, meaning Mars is the dynamic in our consciousness that
is conscious and instinctually acts out the desires emanating from Pluto, including the sexual
desires. This is why Mars has a direct application to sexuality. So the point here is that Mars by
sign and by house, in relationship to what Pluto is telling me through its own structure (house,
sign), is naturally intended to act out, by way of the Soul's direction, keeping in mind that Pluto
has a direct co-linkage to the primary brain. So if your Mars is in Sag or Gemini or Scorpio or
Virgo, whatever, this is what the Soul intends.

Venus correlates to what we are attracting, based on how we are inwardly relating to ourselves
i.e. our own inner vibration. So this is very, very important to understand. Because whether
anybody realizes this or not, we all exactly create what we need, even if consciously we do not
know that we need it. This is the role of Venus. After all, it has a co-rulership to Taurus, 2nd
house; the procreational instinct itself, from a zodiacal point of view. So what we are going to do
now is go through these various signs.

SIGNS: SEXUAL CORRELATIONS (14-0.07.00)

ARIES. When Aries is implicated, what this means in evolutionary terms is that that Soul is
entering a brand new evolutionary cycle in general, and specifically, in terms of the sexual cycle.
When Aries is implicated as a sexual dynamic, it is operating in an utterly instinctual way. In and
of itself, it does not yet know what it desires specifically, other than a new cycle. In fact, it is
wide open to the totality of any sort of experience. And, because of this new cycle impulse, it
requires an element of absolute freedom, in order to initiate whatever sort of sexual experiences
the Soul so desires. It is in the reaction to the initiated sexual experience through which sexual
knowledge is gained. Sexuality through Aries is very quick, and intense within that quickness. In
other words, Aries itself is not given to long drawn-out sexuality. The problem of Aries is that it is
utterly self-orientated. It is going for itself, so to speak. And, because of the brand new cycle,
when Aries is implicated, there are all kinds of instinctual attractions of all kinds of people. That
is what happens in a new cycle. Do you see my point?

Aries is a male sign, therefore the sexuality coming through Aries is very assertive orientated,
male orientated. There is an element of aggression here, that can have positive and not so
positive applications. In and of itself, Aries is not monogamous. Now this is a deeper question,
because we said earlier that from the beginning of human evolution, through necessity, the
human species was in fact not monogamous. Now this is a very interesting question, because
through various sorts of religions and social societies through time, there have been social

194
conventions requiring monogamy as a form of morality. The question is this, is the human
species, as it is currently evolved, inherently monogamous or not? .

We can look into nature, for example, the wolf. Wolves are inherently monogamous. Owls are
inherently monogamous. Eagles are inherently monogamous. Through species, for their own
evolutionary reasons. It's called quality control. So my question (I think we have to leave it as a
question mark, at this point anyway), is the human species, as it is currently evolved, inherently
monogamous, from the point of view of its origins, or is it a social convention that people attempt
to conform to? This is an interesting question, because for true growth to occur in a relationship,
there is a presumption of commitment, commitment being a primary vehicle through which real
growth occurs - in-depth growth, Soul growth. This can only occur through the psychology of
commitment. I am not presenting this as the truth. But my intuitive sense at this time tells me
that the species within the last 1500 - 2000 years is attempting to evolve to a place where
monogamy is intrinsic to the species. Meaning, there has already been enough diversity in the
gene pool, and, like wolves, it is time to have quality control.

In any case, Aries in and of itself is not inherently monogamous. Nor can it be, because it is
entering a brand new cycle. Now, how Aries can become monogamous, is when the two partners
involved have an Arian attitude, meaning a mutual and absolute openness to sexual discovery,
without prejudgment. Now, if two partners can be together with that attitude, then Aries can
become monogamous, because the spirit of discovery and ongoing adventure is in place, relative
to that sort of dynamic in a relationship. Even then Aries will be tempted. Why? Via instinctual
attraction.

TAURUS ( 14-0.14.10) At a sexual level, this is a really interesting thing, because here you
have, from a zodiac point of view (signs), the actual instinct in the species to procreate. So when
Taurus is emphasized, or the 2nd house (like in Chart 1), you have a tremendous amount of
energy that is occurring at a sexual level. It is a tremendous amount of physical energy in the
body that manifests sexually. And Taurus is a really interesting sign, because on the one hand,
from a purely sexual view, Taurus in and of itself requires sustained sexuality, quite different than
Aries. And of itself, for example, Taurus enjoys lovemaking one, two, three hours. Because
Taurus is very much linked with sensation. And the more the sexual act can be prolonged, the
deeper the intensification of sensation occurs. Through the intensification/sensation it begins to
unlock the depths of their own Souls. Whereas Aries is interested in all kinds of forms of sexual
adventure and discovery, Taurus in and of itself does not. Taurus is much more orientated to what
we can loosely call the meat and potatoes type of sexuality. In other words, this is straight hard
intercourse. Taurus in itself does not care about experimentation. It just wants the intensity of

195
sustained intercourse. Now, Taurus also can use sexuality to possess, to use sexuality to get
something that it wants. And as a result Taurus can be very, very sexually/emotionally
threatened, meaning the element of jealousy can be quite rampant in Taurus. Taurus' instinct
here again being survival. A form of survival is learning how to identify one's own inner resources
or capacities or abilities to be self-sustained, to survive. So, from a sexual instinct point of view
in the more advanced forms of life (keeping in mind this is intensity of the sexual chakras), this is
the direct connection to what is called masturbation. Taurus, 2nd house, the Taurus side of
Venus, directly connect to the phenomena of masturbation. The human species is not the only
species to involve themselves in such activity. For example, monkey life is very much engrossed
in such things. This is one of the unique problems of Taurus. Taurus has a natural kind of inertia
or laziness to it, so it is much easier for Taurus to seek out what it feels that it needs (keeping in
mind Venus has also this linkage to Libra, the natural inconjunct from 2nd to 7th), and therefore
all too often the Taurean archetype relative to having its needs (Venus) satisfied, is looking
outside of itself to other partners or people to have its needs met, instead of realizing that the key
is learning absolute self-reliance, even at the sexual level. See, this is its own unique problem.
Take the case of Chart 1, with all the energy in Capricorn in the 2nd house.

What does the Bible stupidly teach, about masturbation? And if you do such a thing, guilt, guilt,
guilt! We are going to rap your knuckles! And yet hers was a chart that had this heavy duty
Capricorn in the 2nd house. So through religious training, over many lives, there is a whole guilt
association here, the guilt association creating the inhibition, which then re-energizes the
externalize Taurus, i.e. seeking partner after partner. Do you see my point now?

Now remember too there are natural triads in astrology. So Taurus has a natural linkage to Virgo
and Capricorn. And the more negative, the more difficult side of Taurus, can also lead to sexual
bondage, sexual possession, sexual slavery, sexual domination, and the desire for it. Taurus has
a unique lesson, i.e. the higher octave of Venus is Neptune. So this specific lesson to Taurus is
what? The difference between profane sexuality and sacred sexuality. Taurus can be totally
linked to a relationship in which two people are simply using each other sexually for their own
purposes. The positive application of Taurus is to learn an absolute self-empowerment at every
level, including sexual. When this is learned, then the sexual orientation within Taurus
fundamentally changes. Why? The attitude has shifted to "I am fine within myself, I no longer
need you".

Do you see my point now? When this kind of shift occurs, then a true mutual exchange of
energies at every level (sexual, Soul) can occur through Taurus. Again, through polarity, Scorpio
is the archetype in which we desire to merge. Not only merging with Soul within, merging Soul

196
with partner, but merging with Soul of God. What happens then in the positive application of
Taurus, once self-reliance is achieved, then the relationship dynamics in general, and the sexual
dynamics specifically, also change. Because a healthy merging can only occur when two people
are mutually self-reliant. Not the merging via codependency (the Libra side of Venus).

Now, Taurus also has an acute sensitivity to touch, in general, and specifically sexual. Why? It is
Venus. It has an acute sensitivity to smell. Why? Venus. And, Taurus in and of itself is
intrinsically sensual, highly sensual, and has a very deep instinct relative to smell and touch.

GEMINI (14-0.23.50)
Sexuality through Gemini is primarily mental. Through Gemini, sexuality manifests as all kinds of
sexual imagery, as it does through Libra and Aquarius (triad). It also occurs through Virgo, by
the way, because it's ruled by Mercury - sexual imagery. The bottom line is that for Gemini to
feel sexual excitement, it will always come up with a sexual imagery first. In which then through
partnering, sexual unions, there is an expectation to have that sexual imagery played out, the
excitement linked with the imagery. This in turn creates a form of mental voyeurism, in which
the person is not truly totally engaged in the body. It is as if they are mentally observing what is
going on in the body. This can create its own unique kind of frustration. How many would like to
be disengaged during the sexual act? But you have to remember that Gemini is the archetype of
maximum curiosity reflected in the desire to learn about the plurality of totality of life itself. As a
result, Gemini in and of itself must observe mentally. Thus a learning takes place. Now there is
almost more excitement through Gemini to talk about sex, or to read about sex, or to view sex via
the movie, than the actual act itself. And from Gemini's point of view, necessarily so. From again
a purely Gemini point of view (I mean we have all learned in our happy books that Gemini
correlates with duality/siblings), it is not uncommon when the Gemini archetype is emphasized
sexually, for sexual contact to occur amongst siblings.

And typically, when this occurs through siblings, it will feel quite natural to the siblings. The
polarity point is Sag. So the problems typically occur, of course, when we get to Cancer and the
parents come along ... This sort of thing occurs much more than people want to admit or
acknowledge. Now also, because Gemini is duality, this is why Gemini in and of itself lends itself
to bisexuality. I mean, from a purely Gemini point of view, if they would entertain this thought,
they would go “Why not?” They are curious. On the other hand, Gemini as an archetype can
have a tremendous amount of sexual knowledge. Why? Because it has learned so much. Gemini
through sexuality likes to talk, words occurring during the sexual act. This is also linked with
their sexual excitement. Gemini needs sexual freedom and is not inherently monogamous.

197
CANCER (14-0.29.00) Cancer is inherently monogamous. This is a very fascinating one because
again, if you look through natural symmetry in the zodiac, the original anxiety of separation as
experienced upon leaving the womb is the same anxiety the soul feels relative to the separation
from God. But in this case, from the womb. The womb, of course, is Cancer. Now the original
anxiety is reflected in the natural inconjunct between Scorpio and Aries. So if we look at
symmetry, we have Aries square to Cancer. And of course Cancer is part of the natural triad with
Scorpio and Pisces. So when Cancer is emphasized sexually (a classic case, by the way, is O.J.
Simpson), what you have here operative in the Cancer archetype is a very fundamental
insecurity, sexually, linked with the original anxiety of separation from the womb. So, through
Cancer, there is this kind of unconscious need to return to the womb, sexually speaking. Some of
you in this room may have experienced in your own way with some partner that you feel totally
comfortable with, your souls are united and so forth, that you just can't get close enough, you
want to get underneath the skin, so to speak. Some of you will have this experience, yes? Well,
that is Cancer.

So the point within this is that sexually Cancer is incredibly insecure, relative to this anxiety here.
And in men this can be a real problem with respect to performance issues, meaning if they are
not feeling secure in a sexual environment, then they can truly create performance problems, as
in impotency, and as in (i.e. square to Aries) the pre-ejaculation syndrome, becoming overly
excited too quick. And for men, this can be, relative to social conditioning (i.e. Capricorn
polarity), quite a problem. What is the implied judgment here? If the man can't perform, what
would be the implied judgment? Something less than a man! It is unfortunate, but this is what
occurs.

And see, for women, they can feel just as insecure, but it is a little bit easier to hide that
insecurity. On the other hand, to a woman it can manifest as frigidity, and a fear of penetration.
This is why the Cancer archetype requires a fundamental sense of emotional psychic safety for the
sexual act to be a truly positive, totally engaged act. Now, Cancer in and of itself is pure
emotion, and therefore the sexual dynamic linked with Cancer is a highly emotionally charged
phenomena, which can, in and of itself, produce relatively extreme sexual intensity, relative to
the need to get back into the womb.

Can you imagine O.J. Simpson, what he would have been like? Because this man is defined by
what is called pathological jealousy (which can emanate from Cancer, also from Scorpio). As it
turns out, he also has Jupiter in Scorpio, combined with the Cancer sign, the Mercury retrograde
in Cancer, etc. He has his Mars in Gemini, which reflects his need for sexual freedom. So in his

198
case, what do you expect? He expected his wife to be fundamentally monogamous, while giving
himself the right... And that right was fueled by his insecurity, Cancer. Do you see how this is
working? In other words, the more women he could do this with, somehow this had a linkage to
his male self-image. But then when the wife wanted to take the same right, this then ignited
pathological jealousy, which led to the event we all know. I don't care what his lawyers do. You
can look in his eyes and see he is guilty, yes?

Cancer, because it is the original anxiety of separation from the womb. When this manifests
through a man or the male principle, on a sexual level, then such a man will have a direct
preoccupation with oral forms of sexuality, that is, specific to the breasts and the vagina of the
woman. Here again is the linkage to the anxiety from the womb. Typically in such men there has
been a breakdown in their early nurturing requirement as a child that even fuels this more so. In
women it correlates with an orientation to oral forms of sexuality linked with the penis and the
mouth, having investment in the need for kissing. But, here again you see the linkage of trying
to get back inside, so to speak. And Cancer, in and of itself, wants a lot of touching, snuggling. In
fact, from a purely Cancerian point of view, touching and holding is more important than
sexuality, emotional renewing occurring through touch, holding. No different than the mother
cradling the baby. Because of Capricorn's polarity there is also a direct linkage (I am just
showing you the whole spectrum; this does not mean that all of these descriptions are accurate in
every case. It is just the spectrum.) to the fact that Cancer can also have a need to be dominated
sexually, domination here equaling security. Also, when Cancer is emphasized (I am not saying
this is common, but it is also not uncommon), this is the archetype in which incest can occur
between parent and offspring. (My own case, Mars in 2nd square Moon in 4th, my mother did all
this grab to me, so it is direct experience.)

LEO (14-0.40.00) As we said earlier, here is a tremendous, self-narcissistic orientation to

sexuality, self-pleasuring, self-aggrandizement. This is the illusion of Leo, because Leo can seem
very magnanimous and generous and giving in these things, but only to the extent that it is being
given to and idolized. And sexuality through Leo is somewhat like a theater play. It is like they
are watching themselves on their own stage, reveling in their own glory, "Look how wonderful I
am!". Because Leo has an absolute need to be considered special. They have to be the most
important lover ever. Meaning, it implies a fundamental insecurity. Why? It follows Cancer. And
the compensation through Leo, “Tell me how wonderful I am. Tell me what a great lover I am.”
All too often, then, partners of such people necessarily find themselves lying, “Yes, you are the
best!” Think of this at a generational level for the Pluto in Leo folk. Leo of itself, of course, can
be quite sexually creative.

199
Leo is not inherently monogamous. It can be monogamous, to the extent that it is being
considered and reminded of just how special it is by the partner. When that is not at the level
that Leo feels that it needs, then this sets itself up (as read in the happy books) to the famous
love affair. But what is behind this? What is behind this need for somebody to tell that Leo just
how wonderful it is? From a Leonian point of view, in addition Leo can rationalize in a kind of
unconscious way that the more sexual partners it has, the more its importance is proved. What
we can call the :”notches on the belt” routine. Through sexuality, Leo is very intense, very
passionate, very ardent. And they can make their lovers also feel very special. Even when that
Leo archetype does not in fact feel the partner special, it can still make the partner feel special,
which is a way of actually misleading such a partner. What he is actually motivated by is the
Leonian need to keep that partner.

So let us understand that the primary theme for Leo is sexual creativity, being sexually creative.
On the other hand, sexuality through Leo can be given too much importance, and therefore it
becomes disproportionate to the overall life. I remember a female client with Pluto and SN in Leo
in 8th, and Venus in Aquarius opposite Mars in Pisces. She slept with 45 men in the space of a
year and a half. My question to her was “Why?” Her answer (8th house), “to gain power for
myself.” In effect she was using them for her own Leonian purposes. She was not a professional
hooker. She just did this as a Leonian sport. And even now she has a primary partner, but she
told this partner: "If you want me to be with you, then I must have the right to sleep with
whomever I want!". The way she rationalized this to the partner is the following. "I make love to
you, but I have sex with them". In other words, the delusion of somehow separating emotion
from sexuality. And somehow this man, with Mars in Virgo, accepts this kind of humiliation!
They try to do this, but let's all agree, this is an illusion. Sexuality is an inherently emotional act,
in which there is a fundamental exchange of energy. This is a modern delusion (it came out with
Penthouse), which actually followed Uranus' transit through Libra in the late 60's - free love, sleep
with whomever. Interesting decade! Somehow we all survived it...

VIRGO (14-0.48.00) In terms of the modern epoch, Virgo truly emphasizes the archetype in
consciousness of inferiority, and it emphasizes, amongst other signs, the archetype called guilt,
and the need to atone for that guilt, or become angry because of that guilt. Keeping in mind the
natural polarity here, Pisces, and the natural triad linkage here to Taurus and Capricorn. So in
essence, the Virgo archetype does symbolize the phenomena of S&M. Now if this is not the active
archetype in an overt way, then Virgo manifests in a different way, even though the archetype is
operative. As an example, many women and men who have Virgo emphasized sexually, relative
to inferiority, will attempt to learn a variety of sexual techniques or sexual methods. And by

200
learning this technique or that method (which is a compensation for the inferiority), then attempt
to truly please the partner through the implementation of such method or technique. The
excitement (their own stimulation or enjoyment) occurring vicariously, relative to the enjoyment
of the partner. This is a form of self-sacrifice, which mirrors in its own way masochism. Because
Virgo is also Mercury-ruled, you also have this mental overlay relative to the sexual act. Imagine
the scene now of Virgo being emphasized, man or woman. They've learned this method or that
technique, now being implemented with a sexual partner. At that point they are simultaneously
implementing technique and observing technique, sort of like the scientist looking through the
microscope. Now this can create its own kind of frustration yet again, just like Gemini, because it
does not allow for full engagement.

Virgo is an incredibly interesting archetype, and sexually runs the whole span from no sexuality
whatsoever, because of the heavy implied guilt orientation from within, i.e. Virgo denial, in which
case all the sexual energy is rerouted to the mental element in the consciousness. When this is
the case, these are the people that are the nervous wrecks of this world. The rerouting of the
sexual energy overly heats the nervous system. And these sort of people are forever running
around doing this and that and the other, because of this rerouting of natural sexual energy. At
this level, some of these types even have a fundamental fear of sexuality, relative to the
psychology or fear of being contaminated; that sex is just too messy, i.e. implying a germ.

Q: Do they have a fear of the body? A: Yes, of course. This is why Virgo has a direct application
to all the eating disorders, the Bulimia and all this. Those are actually de facto sexual acts. What
happens when I am stuffing my mouth and I am throwing up? Here comes the penis, there goes
the penis. It is mimicking the sexual act, it is a distortion of the sexual desire. And that now
linked with masochism, i.e. self-punishment, in this sort of eating disorder. See, this is my point.
Once we understand the archetypes, we can now understand the variations.

And the opposite extreme of Virgo (I think one of the greater lies that traditional astrology
promoted for the last couple of hundred years is that Virgo is linked with the Virgin, and this
illusion of purity) is this: indiscriminate sexuality. Why? Virgo is the archetype that emphasizes
core aloneness in consciousness. What is the polarity point? Pisces. So it creates what is called
an inner existential void deep in the gut, which is more than the normal aloneness that all people
feel. So in the opposite extreme of Virgo, they will attempt to fill up that void with indiscriminate
sexuality, one sexual thing or event or partner after another. It is the act of sensation in this
case, trying to displace the existential void. Within this, there are variations of the S&M theme.
Sometimes it is a verbal manifesting, sometimes in these oblique applications, but in some form it

201
is active. The worst form, of course, is the whole sexual-sadism routine [as in Chart 2], and
needing to capture, to possess, make sexual slavery of. And, of course, from the flip side,
masochistic. “Go ahead and do it to me.”

Q: - ? A: Let us agree that Virgo is primarily a mental sign and is primarily an analytical
archetype, and it is very hard for a Virgo to turn off the mind. The compensation for this at an
extreme masochistic level is to be consumed with sensation in order to be out of the mind. The
polarity again is Pisces. You have to remember there are two kinds of masochism, spiritual
masochism, and psycho-pathologic masochism. All too often, through the Virgo/Pisces
combination, these lines are blurred. In a psychopathologic application there is the need to be
consumed. The linkage to the spiritual element is to be consumed by God. To the
psychopathologic, to be consumed by intense sexual sensation.

Q: - ? A: Yes, because it is linked with inferiority. Or in other cases it is the opposite. I've had
many Virgo-client men with the sexual element emphasized through Virgo, who wanted to screw
eight to ten times a day, somehow this being proof to themselves that they are virile.

Q: - ? A: They are emotionally involved in a vicarious way, because Virgo is mental, is Mercury.
It comes up with all kinds of sexual imagery. Through the association of the imagery played out
through a sexual event, there is vicarious emotional involvement. The emotional involvement is
not specific to the partner, it is specific to the imagery.

So clearly the issue here, one of the lessons in Virgo, is learning true sexual discrimination. It is
one of its major lessons. Whom to sleep with and whom not, and for what reasons. Once Virgo
realizes what the origin of its inner emptiness is about, i.e. an absolute need to commit to spirit in
some way, once this is realized, then the inner existential void is removed through the active life
of the spirit. And when this becomes sexualized, then the Virgo archetype reflects a relative
purity, sexually speaking, meaning to allow the spirit to express itself through the sexual act.

Now remember, too, that Virgo is inherently linked with Sag, Gemini and Pisces, i.e the total
archetype correlating with Gaia, nature or Daemon. Now in your astrological literature you may
have read one rather disconnected word linked with Virgo, called pets (without telling you why, or
what the connection is). First of all, it is directly linked with the Daemon archetype, or the
archetype of nature, natural world, animals. Secondarily, because often the Virgo person has
such a tremendous amount of complications or crisis associated with people or human affairs, that
the compensation for this is to orientate to relationships with pets. Why? Pets are innocent, they
are not complicated, they do not tell you you are shitty. They just love you. And through Virgo

202
there can also be a linkage sexually to pets. This is now called beastiality, i.e. replacing the
complications of the human relationship.

Q: What signs are relating to Gaia? A: Gemini, Virgo, Sag, Pisces.

Q: Why not Taurus? A: No, Taurus is specifically related to Earth as earth, grounding on earth,
hands in dirt. It is a grounding symbolism.

Q: But it's also related to the spirit here. Grounding is part of being in the spirit of the earth.
A: Well, you can make this conclusion, but from a Taurean point of view there is not a direct
linkage. The direct linkage to Taurus is simple grounding.

Q: Why are those four signs linked to Gaia? A: The ultimate connection to nature and Gaia itself
is Sagittarius. The principles of nature are Sag. The laws of nature are Sag. The linkage through
natural symmetry comes through Virgo square, Pisces square, Gemini opposition, the completion
of the archetype. As an example, look at the symbolism of Sag, i.e. the Centaur, where you have
half human, half horse. Now the Christian interpretation of this (remember that the Centaur as a
symbol preceded Christianity) is the human spirit trying to remove itself from the senses or
animal form or animal instinct. Whereas the original intention of the symbolism is Daemon, a
fusion of human and nature, symbolized through the animal.

LIBRA (14-1.09.00) When Libra is sexualized, it is orientated to sexual giving. There is a high
degree of attunement, relative to the sexual/emotional needs, through Libra, sexually speaking.
Libra has a natural affinity or ability or capacity to inherently attune itself with the needs and
desires of the partner. It can then give to that partner, relative to that kind of attunement. Now
because of this, when Libra is sexualized it can create a phenomena or dynamic in which the
partner, through the Libra sexual dynamic, can become very dependent or codependent.
Remember that Libra has, of itself, a need to be needed, a need to give. The validity of its
existence being linked with the need to be needed, the need to give. When this becomes
sexualized, you can see very well how the sexual aspect to Libra can harmonize (Libra) with the
natural energy, need or desires emanating from the partner.

Imagine yourself being that partner. There is suddenly somebody here, a lover who is in harmony
or in awareness or in attunement with who I am. Do you think that partner is going to want to
give up that kind of connection? And this is one of the unconscious dynamics to Libra, trying to,
in their own way, create that sort of dependency, which then validates their own existence. Do
you see my point? The sexuality of Libra can also be extremely versatile, and is very much

203
orientated to sensuality, touching, creating sexual atmospheres, wanting to be sexually clean so
to speak (as Virgo is, by the way). There is a need for cleanliness in a sexual situation.

Through Libra it is very much orientated to incenses in the rooms, the candles, creating a whole
atmosphere or ambiance, which becomes supercharged with sexual energy. Libra has a
tremendous capacity for sexual touch, knowing how to sexually touch to create proper
stimulation. It can be very versatile, meaning some partner needs intense touch, others need
gentle touch. They have a natural awareness of what this is about. Sex with the Libra archetype
can feel real good. Now Libra, because of the natural connection to Gemini and Aquarius, can
also have a direct linkage to homosexual or bisexual dynamics. Libra in and of itself is not
monogamous. Why? Because the archetype in Libra is the impulse to initiate (cardinal) a
diversity of relationships with a diversity of types. And through the experience of diversity,
creating an ongoing evaluation of who it is as an individual. To understand what it is as an
individual it requires such diversity. So this, relative to Gemini and Aquarius, can create sexual
diversity. One of the things that Libra has to learn sexually is learning how to sexually receive.
Now keeping in mind there is a natural square to Cancer and Capricorn, unconsciously Libra has a
very fundamental insecurity, emotional insecurity, fear of vulnerability. So this can be
compensated for through excessive giving, without remembering and learning how to receive.

Clearly, one of the lessons of Libra is learning balance. If one is simply in a situation of
extremity, i.e. always giving, that is extreme. So there is a need to arrive at balance, learning
how to receive in such a way that the roles sexually, in the end, become equal and
interchangeable. Sexual role equality, mutual giving and receiving.

The higher octave of Libra's ruler is Neptune. As a result, Libra will have a lot of sexual ideals,
not to mention ideals linked with relationship in general. And therefore a lot of expectations. So
there can be some degree of frustration occurring to the sexualized Libra, once certain kinds of
sexual ideals linked with expectations are not realized. When that occurs, that can become a
causal factor in seeking out other partners. Which is then a conscious attempt to realize the
actualization of the ideal. Sexually you can call these people, at times, sexually fickle.

SCORPIO (14-1.16.25) You cannot have any deeper sexual intensity than manifesting through
Scorpio. The reason for this is that, again, Scorpio correlates with the soul. Scorpio demands
intensity. Why? To unlock and uncover all kinds of suppressed hidden dynamics, complexes,
intentions, and motivations that reside deeply in the Scorpio psyche. All too often there is a deep
inner hate within Scorpio that most people, most astrologers, never ever understand. The
intensity of sexual sensation is an effort to go beyond that self-hatred through the consuming

204
nature of the sexual intensity. In its own way it reflects a subconscious death wish in which, at
an egocentric level, the soul is attempting to extinguish the ego. That is why in Victorian England
orgasm was called "The Little Death".

Now Scorpio, in and of itself, has a natural resistance to anything we can call a limitation. So
when you link this with the sexual dynamic, there is a natural desire through Scorpio to penetrate
or go beyond anything that is called a sexual taboo as defined by a society. The way that Scorpio
reasons from within itself is that if the society is calling these things taboos, there might be
something to find out. It is a secret. Scorpio is very much involved with unraveling secrets, that
what is called “the dark mystery”, or something we are not supposed to know.

Scorpio can be incredibly sexually possessive, incredibly sexually threatened, incredibly sexually
jealous. He can project all kinds of fictions on partners, relative to their inherent fears of loss,
betrayals, abandonments, which have preceded the current life, relative to violations of trust.
Scorpio can be the extremity between absolute domination/violence, sex as power versus sex as
sex, and the absolute need (because it is a feminine archetype) to be totally consumed. Scorpio
within itself will attempt to alternate between both roles. Scorpio can involve itself in the most
base forms of sexuality, the most gross, as well as involving itself in the most high, the most
pure, as through Tantra. Tantra specifically is a Scorpio, 8th house, Plutonian archetype. Scorpio
has a direct connection to the anal canal. Scorpio, as a result, sexually speaking, can have an
attraction or fascination or compulsion with anal forms of sexual expression. The real
unconscious connection here, by the way, is at the spiritual level, because this is where the
Kundalini gland is located. And once you physically stimulate the Kundalini gland, many things
happen. But most Scorpios energizing this way are not aware that this is what is occurring. The
psycho-pathologic application equals dominance. Do you see my point? You see again the
connection to the famous dark mystery, so to speak.
Scorpio as an archetype, naturally square Leo, can also place too much emphasis on the sexual
dynamic, and therefore create (following Libra) disproportionate emphasis. Proportion in
astrology is Libra. Remember that Libra has a need to learn balance, correct proportion. Scorpio
of itself can psychologically and emotionally manipulate, and not only in general, but specifically
sexually. Manipulating in such a way as to cover up or hide their actual agendas or intentions.
With respect to the natural square to Aquarius and the inconjunction coming back through
Gemini, all too often Scorpio can generate all kinds of superstructures of words, rationalizations,
that actually mask where they are coming from. And therefore they can be quite sexually
manipulative. So much so that they can believe in their own bullshit, so to speak. Which is
exactly why Scorpio as an archetype requires confrontations at key points in its journey, the
nature of which is to expose the bullshit. Now it can also have a direct linkage, following

205
masochistic dynamics and sadistic dynamics, to not only sexual possession, but sexual slavery.
Now, Scorpio, Pluto, 8th house also directly correlate with the inherent law of sexuality from
God's point of view, i.e. what is the right use of sexuality? It has everything to do with ritualized
sexuality.

SAGITTARIUS (14-1.25.50) The entire archetype of Sag is what we can call generally the
search for truth. The search for truth implies an essential honesty. So Sag is given to all kinds of
sexual adventures in order to understand the truths and laws of sexuality. It is Jupiter ruled.
Jupiter expands anything, is a growth dynamic. So if you link this with Sag, there is a fairly
strong and constant sexual drive. It is like putting Mars with Jupiter. Sag in and of itself is not
monogamous. It is a fire sign. It is connected to Aries and Leo, natural triad. It is not that Sag
cannot be monogamous, but, like Aries and Leo, it must have a partner who is willing to look at
sexuality as an ongoing adventure. The worst thing that can happen to Sag's sexualized
archetype is the sexual routine, the same thing over and over and over.

Sag connects to the archetype called spontaneity. Because Sag is also linked with the archetype
of humor, Sag sexually speaking brings humor or lightness to the sexual experience. Whereas
Scorpio is bringing all this bizarre psychological intensity (while Sag says: "Screw this one”). And
because of the polarity of Gemini (Gemini equaling hands), they have a very exquisite sexual
touch that they can offer the partner. In this case the hands operate somewhat like a de facto x-
ray machine. Because it is connected to Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sag can be both extremely
sexually gentle, and very sexually intense, depending on the partner's needs, and thus be
versatile. It is a mutable archetype: it can adapt.

When the Sag archetype is evolved, it has a very deep fundamental sexual knowledge and
wisdom, and therefore in certain cases can operate as a sexual teacher. Connected to Virgo, it
can be a sexual healer, helping other people heal their sexual wounds. Or if they themselves are
sexually wounded, they can attract somebody who can help them heal their own wounds.
Sometimes it is mutual.

The Sag archetype when sexualized can also have very strong attractions to partners that did not
come from the culture of birth. In fact, in many cases they will have actual relationship/sexual
problems with people from their own culture. Why? There is a fundamental alienation occurring
within the Sag archetype in general. You have to remember that in the symbolism of the
Centaur, the arrow is pointing upwards, meaning it is looking for its real home. Sag as an
archetype is nomadic in nature and is orientated to living very much in proximity with nature.
Therefore it has a direct link to the Daemon archetype. Because of these things, that is why you

206
have the alienation. Which is also why the Sag archetype is being attracted to others from other
countries, or races. The neat thing about Sag is that it is the antithesis of being a racist. Why?
It sees the total connection to nature.

Sag as a fire sign is not given to long drawn out sexual activity. It wants an intense exchange
that is relatively quick. And the reason for this, on an anatomic level Sag has an incredibly
energized nervous system, so it creates very deep stimulation. At a lesser level, Sag will simply
approach sexual activity as sport, sort of like going dancing.

CAPRICORN (14-1.36.20) Now this is perhaps one of the most difficult archetypes to
understand sexually. No book yet written in astrology has correctly understood Capricorn in
general, and sexually specifically. As an example, how many of you in this room have ever
learned in any book that Capricorn has a deep unconscious desire to lose absolute control, to
access chaos? It is true, and yet they have a simultaneous fear for the very thing they want,
which then creates the compensatory behavior called rigidity and control. And that is what you
read in the famous books.

But what is underneath this is a fundamental desire to lose control and to access chaos, relative
to the primary brain. You will never read in any book on astrology that sexually Capricorn, deep
within itself, desires absolute domination. It wants to simultaneously dominate and be
dominated. Why? The polarity through Cancer, gender, male/female. The male application
wants to dominate, the female application wants to be dominated.

Now Capricorn, as a result, has a fundamental inner fear of being vulnerable, and yet desiring to
do so. And yet, most Capricorns manifest more towards the archetype of remaining stoic and in
total control/rigid. All too often, as an example, if you touch a Capricorn body, what is your touch
met with? It's just like touching concrete (as an aside, by the way, concrete was developed when
Neptune was transiting Capricorn in 1820). It is an interesting thing sexually, because first of all
you've got the guilt dynamic, first of all you have a natural susceptibility to social conventions,
moralities, rights and wrongs, ethics defined by men (linking it back to the Garden of Eden myth,
i.e. Capricorn's link with Virgo). You can see here the tendency in Capricorn, relative to the
modern epoch, to repress not only their emotional life but their sexual life too. So all too often
through the Capricorn dynamic, the sexual element of the relationship becomes paralyzed,
repressed. Which then in turn intensifies the repression of emotion, relative to the fear of
vulnerability.

It's amazing to observe two Capricorns in a relationship. They can be quite perfunctory, quite

207
duty-orientated, quite good at fulfilling their overall obligations in a relationship at a material
level and so on (going to the market, buying the food, and cleaning the house), but in terms of
the actual vitality of the emotional and sexual life within that relationship, all too often that is
simply and totally lacking. And again the causal factor is the need to lose control and yet the fear
of it (Example: Jeffrey's parents, wife, children. 14-1.41.10). Once you start involving yourself
in the archetype of repression, then everything becomes distorted. If you could actually know
about many other Capricorn people's sexual life, the ones that aren't stoic, it's really quite bizarre,
because the sexual dynamic has been distorted. An example. Capricorn also has in and of itself a
natural attraction to the anal canal. Now link this with the issue of dominance, and what do you
have? And there are many Capricorn women who prefer anal sex to vaginal. What do you think
the connection is here?

Q: - Anal retentive? A: Right, and by the way, the sphincter muscles are specifically Saturnian.
So now you see the direct connection, trying to open something up that has been repressed.

A lot of sexual violence comes through Capricorn.

Q: How do you counsel such people? A: By helping them understand their fear of vulnerability,
and the causal factors therein. Capricorn, in order to be sexually and emotionally unlocked, has
to be taken back (in a symbolic way) to being like a child. A lot of times I am helping such people
heal these issues or unlock these issues as follows. I typically recommend both of them to learn
what is called non-sexual touch. To simply lay in bed together, as an example, and look deeply
into each other's eyes, and touch each other non-sexually. So, first of all, you have the
connection of souls through eyes, which then linked with non-sexual touch allows for the
establishment of emotional psychic safety, in which they can let their fear of vulnerability go. And
this will then naturally lead into sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, because the souls have
been contacted. One of the best healings for the Capricorn sexual archetype. Here again the real
connection is touch, safely experienced, without any other agenda.

Like Cancer, there is, when Capricorn is sexualized, a direct link to incest. When the Capricorn
sexual dynamic is unlocked, they become incredibly sexually intense. Like Taurus they want
sustained sexuality. At a middle level it's called perfunctory sex, sex as duty. Or more of the
Christian version of sex.

AQUARIUS (14-1.51.30) This is a very fascinating archetype. As an example, right now it

correlates specifically with this new trip going on in computers called cybersex. Now think of this
connection, this is ultimately Aquarian, the ultimate detachment through electronic sex! What a

208
bizarre thing! Does this potentially occur as a reaction to things like Aids, i.e. safe sex, that is
now itself distorted, following Capricorn. So, in any case here, the ultimate archetype of
Aquarius is to liberate and to objectify. These two in combination generate sexually what? First,
an absolute need to sexually experiment, to rebel against all existing social sexual conventions.
The desire to experiment is unlimited (e.g. cybersex). Now, because of the objectification
archetype i.e. detachment, like Gemini, like Virgo, within Aquarius of itself there is an inability to
totally engage the physical body. There is always this overlay of mentalism occurring during the
sexual event. But in general that is occurring to Aquarius anyway, at all levels of reality, due to
its observational nature. And through observation/objectivity/detachment, there is a learning
taking place. And remembering when we talked about Uranus physiologically, it can create what
is called a dehydrating action. It is not uncommon through the Aquarius archetype sexualized, to
have actually a lack of sexual energy. It has been dehydrated and placed totally in the mental
realm, which then plays out through primarily exposing self to things like cybersex, reading about
sex, watching sexual movies, talking sex, but not really performing sex. For example, Aquarius
can have a direct link to these sort of individuals who claim having sex with people from outer
space. You have all heard these stories.

Now, when the Aquarius archetype is sexualized and acting out sexually, like Libra, it has an
ability to be objectively aware of what the need is of the partner, and, like Libra, can harmonize
with that need. This again occurs through the mental observational function of Aquarius in such a
way that Aquarius can have sexual fulfillment or enjoyment in a vicarious sense through the
enjoyment of the partner. It is like a sexual scientist looking through the microscope. And yet,
simultaneous to this, the Aquarian archetype, because of this kind of frustration, wants to be fully
engaged. Now, when this is occurring, relative to the square of Scorpio, it creates true sexual
intensity, the intensity being fueled by the desire to be totally engaged. This of itself will lend
itself, through Aquarius, to try to learn various kinds of sexual methodologies or techniques that
allow for maximum stimulation. Here again, we are showing you the entire spectrum.

Now the sexual rhythm of Aquarius is rarely predictable. In most cases the sexual rhythm or
need fluctuates between cycles of almost zero need to cycles of totally merging, and everything in
between. This is one of the archetypes that can lead to sexual sterility, based on the dehydration
action of Aquarius or Uranus. In this case, dehydrating the relevant levels of progesterone in the
woman and the necessary levels of sperm, healthy sperm, in the male. Many men who have the
Aquarian archetype emphasized have what are called fractured sperms, sperms that are not
integrated or having any sort of integrity. This will become a more prevailing phenomena, by the
way, when Neptune/Uranus will move into Aquarius. Why? Because it is a reaction of Pluto in
Sagittarius, Gaia reacting through the human organism, impacting on its ability to reproduce.

209
This can be a necessary culling effect such as happened on the Solomon Islands, where the rabbit
population was out of control. Every seven years the male rabbits would develop a sexual disease
that did not allow them to reproduce. This is an example of natural law, Gaia reacting in order to
rebalance the population. Well, like it or not, we are still connected to nature! And we are being
controlled by natural laws. Whether you like it or not, Gaia will react. One of the manifestations
is the breakdown of the integrity of sperm in the man and the relevant levels of progesterone in
the female.

Now, like Libra and Gemini, Aquarius can also be orientated to bisexuality, or rebellion against
social convention. And it can be, in a distorted sense, following Capricorn, orientated to truly
bizarre forms of sexuality that are typically linked (like Gemini) to what are called sexual
instruments or toys. For example, a client of mine (a man having Mars and three other planets in
Aquarius in the 8th house), his means of sexual stimulation was to put the penis inside an air
pump causing pulsating vacuum. He finally succeeded in cutting off that penis.

Q: Detached! A: Detached, yes! !

Well, I've seen it all, friends, the bottom line here. And I reiterate, through Aquarius, sexuality
can truly become distorted. Aquarius also connects to what is called the castration complex,
symbolic castration. It creates its own sexual complications, obviously, like we saw in the
example. In lesser extremes it can lead into, again, impotency or pre-ejaculation problems, or
frigidity in the woman.

PISCES (14-2.02.20) In Pisces we are dealing with the totality of all signs. Pisces is God.
Pisces is the unity of all things. It is the sum total of all things. And, in and of itself, Pisces is
orientated to sexual fantasy or imagination, Neptune. This is a very interesting thing to consider,
because evolution is a function of elimination of all separating desire, including sexual desire.
Now if a person is capable of imagination (Pisces), at this level sexual imagination (i.e. the very
nature of the symbolism in the sexual fantasy reflecting desire), the question becomes in an
evolutionary sense, is this actually one of the ways the soul can work out sexual desire without
physically acting upon it? Because if it is imagined, it is being lived out or fulfilled at that level.
Yes or no? Is it not possible, when people have sexual fantasy, that they can have so for an X
amount of time until suddenly, at a certain point their fantasy is no longer occurring. Is that
symbolizing culmination? Meaning it is worn out? So is it actually one of the ways God allows us
to work out these sort of things? That is the point.

Now other people will fantasize for different reasons. Maybe they are in a repressed Capricorn

210
sexual reality, and the relief point to that frustration is imagination. And in this case,
imagination, sexually speaking, is operating as a form of psychic stability, because they are
allowing themselves to imagine something that is not occurring in their actual reality, which then
allows them to sustain that reality. Do you see my point? Meaning, fantasy can have an
incredibly positive function, relative to psychic stability or psychological emotional stability.
Conversely, it can reinforce and intensify the frustration in such a way that some people will now
have the temptation to act out the fantasies. And that can then lead into more difficult scenarios.
What if they are in a committed relationship for twenty years, and now are getting overly involved
on the side in a Piscean secret way (it's hidden). What happens when it is busted or found out?
Then you have Virgo crisis (polarity). From an ultimate (Pisces) way of looking at things, Pisces
has an absolute need, archetypally, to dissolve all forms of limitation. Which is also why the
sexual desires manifesting through Pisces are only limited by that which can be imagined. It has
a direct connection to homosexuality, the dissolving of gender distinction. As an example, the
phenomena of hermaphrodites is a Neptunian/Piscean issue. So, through Pisces sex can also be
used as an escape. We also have the direct connection, yet again, to the S&M archetype.
Through Pisces it manifests as a need to be consumed, or to consume, or both, which is actually a
psycho-pathologic reaction to the spiritual impulse of Pisces.

The priesthood or priestesshood is a Piscean phenomena. In so many cases, however, this is

enforced as a form of denial through Virgo. And somehow this is now linked with some bizarre
aspect called purity. Pisces of itself sexually can be very confused in terms of the nature of its
desires, where they come from, and for what reasons. The real problem in Pisces, in a
generalized way and sexually speaking, is that there is an inability to make the direct connection
between that which is emanating from them and that which is apparently occurring to them.
Which is why, all too often the Piscean archetype wants to feel victimized. As an example, when
you find Mars in Pisces (in man and woman), you will find a very deeply angry soul, because they
have felt victimized. They have felt victimized because they cannot make the connection between
what is emanating from them and what is occurring to them. And through this displacement as
anger, they find others who operate as lightning rods or scapegoats for their own displaced anger.
For example, many, many women who have Mars in Pisces have a warehouse of anger linked with
men of a very displaced nature over many lifetimes. And typically when this is the operative
dynamic, they will become involved in a relationship in which they initially present them self as a
person who is there to help the other person in a Piscean-like way, understands their needs, etc.
They get the other person into a state of absolute need, now feeling "Oh, this one really
understands me, I feel Piscean-safe to reveal my fear of vulnerabilities" etc.

As soon as that is reached, then the opposite behavior occurs. Once that Mars in Pisces gets the

211
other person at a point of maximum dependency, then they change and begin to walk away,
leaving that other person now in a pool of emotional bullshit. They are working out their anger in
this way. Men that have Mars in Pisces can do just the same thing. They originally present them
self as some sort of savior or de facto messiah. Pisces here can be linked with the messiah
complex. This can have a direct linkage sexually, the sexual savior. So that masochism aspect,
sacrificing your sexuality under the guise of sexual healing of another. And they have the unique
capacity to appear oh so sincere, oh so innocent, oh so sweet. You have no choice but to (Pisces)
believe in this kind of presented persona. But underneath this is an entirely different operational
dynamic of repressed or displaced anger. It is a really horrible dynamic, because it leads to
massive disillusionment in the one who has believed in such a person. Let us agree that
disillusionment is one of the hardest experiences.

Because of the Neptunian connection, again, the sexual applications or manifestations of the
sexualized Piscean archetype can also manifest as really strange (Neptune) forms of sexual
expression. Example (again S&M), a client of mine in Hamburg having Mars in 12th and
Capricorn, who said he could only have sex when he was tied tightly in rubber. So here again you
see the connection to the reverse polarity (Cancer), the return to the womb, that is now linked
with the need to be totally dominated (Capricorn). In other words, the manifestations, once you
understand the archetype, are only limited by imagination!

Now, like Virgo, once the connection is made to spirit, this then orientates to sacred sexuality in
which the sexual vehicle is a vehicle through which absolute transformation, transcendence takes
place. A direct connection to spirit through the sexual act. Which is what God's intention is
behind the sexual law. This is the ultimate intention. After all, God is the origin of sexuality (yes,
God makes Love with his or her creation).

 RELATIONSHIP TYPINGS OR CATEGORIES (15-0.15.30)
You cannot know these categories just by looking at the birth chart. You will have to do the
famous observation routine when you are doing relationship counseling, in order to determine
who is who and what is what. The basic categories are called Karma Mates, Twin Souls, Soul
Mates, and Same Souls (a new variation now beginning to manifest, because the age is corning to
completion). And then there is what is called the Evolutionary Discrepancy type relationship;
there is a typing called Counselor/Counselee; there is a typing called Teacher/ Student; and
there is a typing called S&M.

KARMA MATES. The most common typing. It is very important to understand this typing,
because most people are confusing Karma Mates with Soul Mates (the issue of Soul Mates in my
view has been horribly abused). Karma Mates is in fact the most common situation that we have
between ourselves and those that are in our life intimately. That would also include parents,
because there is some degree of intimacy there. It can also cover the area of friendships. And at
times it also deals with the phenomena of working relationships, as employer/employee, or those
that you are working with in close proximity in your work place. Now Karma Mates simply mean
two people that have had past life background, past life dynamics, past life sharings, that are in a
progressive process of evolving. They are not complete. They are not finished. And there are
karmic implications that go within this. Karma again is simply the natural law of every action
equaling a proportionate reaction.

90% of the people we know in any given life we have known in prior life. The reason for this goes
right back to the heart of the issue called evolution. It tends to take more than one lifetime to
work out any specific dynamic between yourself and whomever. And until we complete dynamics
with an X amount of people, until that is done, there is no space, so to speak, to draw new people
into the life. A cup can only hold so much water. Roughly 10% of the people that we meet in any
given life are in fact brand new people. After all, we have to meet somebody for the first time
sometime. And that is a quite interesting thing to consider, because if in fact you are moving into
a new intimate relationship possibility and you have an intuitive sensing that in fact there has
been no preexisting connection, that is giving you an amazing opportunity. Because the actions
you are creating with one another in this life will determine what is going to come. And if you
have this sort of awareness, you have an opportunity to maintain that conscious awareness,
which can really lead to very positive results.

The simplest way to prove this thing is the following. How many of you in this room, in terms of
your intimate connections, have the sense of feeling that in fact you have in some sort of way

214
been with that person or those persons before this life, with a sense of deja vu-ness? And when
you know that karma is on the line, i.e. when past-life dynamics are coming with you into the life,
dynamics that have not been resolved, dynamics possibly that have been stressful or difficult,
when that is in fact the case, then those two souls will recreate circumstances that have the effect
of triggering or igniting these unresolved dynamics from prior lifetime. When that occurs, it
creates a disproportionate reaction to the immediacy of the existing circumstance or dynamic.
How many of you have not experienced such a thing in your relationships? Where all of a sudden
it seems to be disproportionate, irrational, etc. This is the easiest way for you to recognize when
a past life dynamic is on the line.

SOUL MATES. Jesus gave us a happy definition of what Soul Mates actually are. It was, in fact,
part of the original Bible before one third of it was destroyed at the Council of Nicea in the fourth
century. Soul Mates are simply two people who have independently committed to spiritual life
prior to the attraction. And the only actual reason for the relationship is to enhance and expand
upon that individual spiritual development because of, and through, the relationship. It does not
mean that these two people are perfect. It does mean they have the same bottom line, which
then allows for unconditional giving and love, meaning "I will love you always, no matter what”.
Versus a karma mate who says "I will love you if...”, i.e. conditional love. Two different
phenomena. Because they have the same base line, i.e. a mutual spiritual commitment. When
hurt feelings or confrontations or disagreements happen, there is this larger point of view to refer
and defer.

SAME SOULS. (a variation within Soul Mates). This is a very interesting phenomena, and very
rare actually. It means that certain Souls (at minimum, first stage of spiritual state) have
reached certain degrees of evolution in which they have the evolutionary capacity and ability,
relative to being the same Soul, to split that Soul so to speak, to generate what appears to be
different people with different egocentric structures, even though they are the same Soul. And
the intention there is to accelerate the karmic evolution of the Soul. It takes a high degree of
evolutionary advancement to be able to do this. Imagine there is now one Soul that is now split
into two, three, or four people, the same Soul manifesting through different egos. Do you
understand why?

Q: - ? A: Well, this is the point, that there are two dynamics here. In most cases, the Soul that
splits itself in this way will not meet itself in the form of different people, but there are cases in
which it will. And then the question becomes, what is the causal factor generating that
phenomena? The answer is basic, meaning some Souls have conflicts within themselves, desires
that go in antithetical directions and create an inner conflict. And when this is the case, the Soul

215
will in fact split itself and assume a sort of different identities, living out realities that apparently
are antithetical or in conflict to the value associations of each. So when it is time for that Soul to
begin the process re-merging, to re-merge itself then (when this is the causative factor, at the
original point of splitting having these very different desire structures), this will necessitate that
at some point in time that Soul will re-meet itself in the form of different people.

And because the original causative factor was based on conflicting desires, when they initially
meet, even though there is this high degree of attraction (after all it is the same soul), there is of
course resistance. Simple analogy. It is like when a rocket ship comes back into the upper
atmosphere of earth. There is initial resistance (all those flames flying off the thing). And so,
initially there is a period of about one or two years that this kind of sparking is occurring, and it is
kind of a push-pull in terms of the re-merging process. But if they (i.e. the parentness of the two
egos or three egos or four egos) can succeed in moving back and forth relative to this resistance,
understanding the intention, then by the third year the merging process is now becoming
completed. And what is happening, now that the age is coming to culmination (just think of that
word, culmination); the soul that split long ago has to begin a process of re-merging.

So, given the fact that we are now moving towards the Aquarian age (a 400 to 500 year process),
progressively this will be an increasing phenomena. And this is interesting, because with Same
Soul, by the time they finally re-meet, the dynamics of their individual lives will be quite parallel,
meaning it would be like a mutual mirror. And of course when they begin the merging process,
this is its own dilemma, because the ego has got used to its own momentum of individuality, just
like the wave on the ocean gets used to being a stupid wave, but that wave is destined to re-
merge, is it not? So the egocentric structure has its momentum, which creates its own sort of
resistance. It can create its own kind of fear, "I am losing myself" the ego says. And the soul
says, "No, you are gaining yourself". So it creates its own kind of push-pull. And when they do
re-meet, it does not guarantee that they are going to stay together in this life. In fact, I just
counseled such a couple, and this is very much the phenomena. And even though they
conceptually recognized it and had the conscious awareness, they still could not sustain the
relationship, based on fear of merging.

Q: - ? A: That is one of the actual archetypal structures, that at some point they begin to have
the same dreams.

Q: - ? A: The key is to simply acknowledge the individual differences. If they can do that, then
the merging process can proceed.

216
TWIN SOULS are in fact not the same soul. Souls are birthed by God at various points in time,
in an ongoing process of creation until there is a drawing back of the energy, what the
astronomers want to call the famous Big Bang theory, expansion/contraction. Until the retraction
begins, there is a continuing birth of souls. Twin Souls simply mean two souls that were birthed
by God at the same moment in time, and have been leading parallel lives. The dynamics have
been the same, the intentions have been the same, the karma is the same, etc., all the way
through time. And Twin Souls will rarely, if ever, actually physically meet. The Twin Souls will
have the same birth moment within a few moments of time, i.e. the same chart. In all the work I
have done (15,000 clients), I only have roughly fifteen to twenty documented cases of Twin Souls
actually physically meeting. Twin Souls (gender doesn't matter: male/female, male/male,
female/female) physically will look very much the same, their life experiences are again the same,
etc. Conditions of birth being the same. There is no real reason for Twin Souls to meet. We
grow through polarity, not through sameness. But there are a few documented cases. Out of
those I remember one or two pairs trying to actually live together. And those, by the way, were
Leos (you see the issue here ...). But after a few weeks, they couldn't deal with it, because
beyond the original fascination and all the Leonian kind of things, they simply got bored. Now if it
was the Same Soul thing, that is a different phenomena, because the soul is coming back to itself.
But when it is two independent souls that have simply been on parallel tracks, then it becomes
like looking in the mirror all the time. How many of you would like to be in that sort of
relationship? There is no polarization, there is no polarity. There is no counter-parallel so to
speak, generating growth.

COUNSELOR/COUNSELEE. This is actually quite a common type of relationship. It is its own

unique archetype/dynamic. What you have here is a situation where one person is presenting
them self in a psychological sense to another, as if somehow they are the one to help the other
unravel, understand, come to terms with all sorts of unresolved emotional dynamics,
psychological dynamics, wounds that need healing, etc. They have the capacity to penetrate to
the weak link, the weakest dynamics in such a person. In such a way as to then present
themselves to that person as: "I am the one here to help you", etc. And the point here is that the
one who is doing this, the Counselor, has a fundamental emotional investment and psychological
need to present them self to others in this way. Why? In every single case, the Counselor will
have unresolved emotional dynamics in them self, linked with fears of emotional betrayal, loss, or
abandonment. And based on these fears, as a compensation for it, leading to presenting them
self in this way to another, the subconscious doing this in such a way as to try to guarantee
security, relative to the fear, relative to the emotional psychological role that they are playing.

Now the Counselee is presenting themselves to the Counselor as "Yes, I am wounded, I need you,

217
you can help me", etc. And yet that type will only sustain the relationship for the duration of the
need that brings them into it. You have the whole phenomena of abuse and manipulation both
ways. Why? The Counselor is invested in sustaining the stance or position of the relationship.
They will psychologically and emotionally manipulate the other in order to sustain that type of
role. The Counselee will manipulate the Counselor in order to have these codependency needs
met. “Yes, you need to help me.” But the bottom line here is that again the Counselee will only
sustain it for the duration of the need bringing them into it, which then in effect replays loss and
betrayal to the Counselor. In other words, the illusion through compensation "I am secure
because of the role being played" is just that, an illusion, delusion. It is going to blow up in their
face again. It also creates the dynamic of fundamental inequality in a relationship. It is
inherently unequal. Who is doing most of the giving, who is doing the counseling? And it also
allows the Counselor to maintain their own emotional lie. Meaning they typically present
themselves as “Oh, all has been integrated, I am together, etc.“ But in reality this is a mask
covering up their deepest wounds, which is exactly why the Counselee at some point must leave
the relationship, in order to reinforce the Counselor's biggest fear, which is one of loss, betrayal
and abandonment. When this continues to happen, then at some point those fears and
unresolved dynamics will surface. And when they do, typically the Counselor will become the
Counselee. At some point!

Q: I imagine there are a lot of therapists who have this.

A: Sure they do! It is common to the therapist!

Q: - ? A: Yes, typically it is very much part of the therapist's thing. And it is also why Carl Jung
said, amongst other incredible things, the loneliest person in the world is the counselor. Who
counsels the counselor? Carl Jung would know these things.

TEACHER/STUDENT. A variation of the above. The difference is that in the

Counselor/Counselee, the content that is existing between the two people is typically
emotional/psychological, whereas with the Teacher/ Student routine the content is not limited or
specific to the psychological stuff. As an example, in the consensus state it would be a reflection
of just one person teaching the other about life itself, in a kind of generalized way. And in the
individuated state it would be a situation where one is teaching the other about higher meanings
of life, or metaphysical things, or philosophical things. And in the spiritual state, of course,
spiritual content. So it is more generalized, it is not limited or specific to psychological issues.
But you still have the same dynamic, i.e. unequalness.

SADO-MASOCHISTIC, as already thoroughly discussed. This is, in various ways, in varying

218
degrees of intensity, the sado-masochistic dynamic. In our time there is the classical thing we
call the abused wife syndrome. This is obviously a very prevalent dynamic, as more and more
people become aware of it, relative to talk shows and the like. I would say in our country roughly
60% of all relationships fit this one, in one way or another.

EVOLUTIONARY DISCREPANCY. This is the situation that, in the context of a relationship, one
person, in evolutionary sense, is more evolved than the partner. This then creates the dynamic
wherein the one who is more evolved feels that they are always leading the other one by the hand
forwards. The one who is more evolved, because of being more evolved, has the capacity to
understand the other one, because they have been there. The one who is not as evolved, who
has not been where the other one is, has a hard time truly understanding the individuality of the
other one. And this creates its own unique problems, called frustration. It creates a situation
wherein the one who is more evolved simply feels not only not understood, but that their core
needs cannot be met. So then the question becomes, why is it that they are in this sort of
relationship? Each case will have its own unique answer. That is where you have to play the role
of astrological detective. The typical and common answer is called karmic obligation. Then the
challenge becomes, what is the nature of the obligation, and why?

Q: If in an Evolutionary Discrepancy situation, transiting Pluto comes up to conjunct one of their

Venuses, could that then blow up the situation?
A: Yes. What you are really asking relates to separation of relationship. This is an important
question. There are two ways for people to terminate a relationship. One creates karma, one
does not. One way to separate is what is called a natural parting, or the famous Y in the road.
What this means is that two souls reach a point in time where no more real growth can occur in
the relationship in the context of intimacy. The other way is what is called an arbitrary parting,
meaning there is still growth potential, and yet one or both partners say “The heck with it, I am
moving on anyway.” This then creates karma, that which is unresolved. So in your question, i.e.
Pluto transiting Venus, there is no real way to know which one is which. Again, you have to
observe the couple. Because it can equal "natural", or it can equal "arbitrary", depending on the
existing context.

Q: - ? A: It does not necessarily have to be a situation where both people have conscious
awareness of this fact. And one can have it and the other one not. But when that is in fact the
operational dynamic, it doesn't matter if both have it. In my experience of counseling generally
one partner will have it and one will not. And the one that will not is typically the dependent
partner, who wants to sustain the thing at all costs.

219
Q: Somewhat out of this context: do you believe in the phenomena of 'Walk-ins'?
A: No, bullshit. I mean, think about it. At no point throughout the history of spiritual thought,
other than the manifestation of Ruth Montgomery, has the idea of Walk-ins ever been talked
about. This is the same nonsense as this thing called 'Soul Retrieval'. It is pure nonsense in the
way it's being presented. It facilitates and ignites and keeps in motion the whole idea of
victimization, not taking responsibility for our own lives. It is so easy to say “Why, my action is
caused by this, because of some Walk-in”. Really, what the dynamic is begging, is the
phenomena truly one of Soul Possession? This is a very rare phenomena, when a soul is taken
over by another soul. This can happen, but it is extremely rare. Which is why even the Christian
people have exorcism ceremony and ritual. But it is very, very rare. The soul has to be in an
absolute state of being weak by various causes in order to be truly possessed.

Q: - ? A: This is typically linked with a soul that has been fragmented, for various reasons,
normally associated with massive emotional trauma. And in fragments, then it creates what we
can call the appearance of different parts of itself. That is not Walk-in stuff and it is not
somebody snatching the soul that has to be retrieved!

Q: About the soul's fragmentation and schizophrenia...?

A: Sure, that is a common cause for schizophrenia.

Q: Where another soul tries to take over that soul?

A: This can happen, but the soul again has to be fundamentally weakened by fragmentation. But
again I'll tell you, true possession is very rare. I myself had a prior lifetime as a Latin priest
performing exorcisms in the 15th century, and based on my memory of that life, I am speaking
from direct experience here. I even did one in this life, and when I did it, I spontaneously began
to speak Latin, from that other life.

Q: Being the astrological detective, would that show up in Pluto in the 7th house, or a strong
Libra, unbalanced things, this whole phenomena of one being more evolved than the other, I
mean would that be a Pluto in Libra phenomena frequently?
A: Yes, actually it is more common in that sign. Because of the operative dynamic, the need to
be needed.
