The great astrologer and mystic, Isabel Hickey, has this to say about the
spiritual science of astrology:
"Astrology involves the relationship between the larger universe outside
you and the personal universe within (as above, so below). The same
energies that function in your personal horoscope function in the larger one
‘out there.' The blueprint we call the horoscope, or the birthchart,
plots the energies that flow in your magnetic field. At the moment of
birth you took into your body, with the first breath, the vibrations manifested
on that day and time at that particular spot on earth. This basic pattern
goes with you throughout life."
The birthchart shows our tendencies and potentials. It is said:
"Man is not what he is because he was born when he was. He was born
when he was because he was potentially what he is." It is not because
you were born at a certain place or time that you react to influences, but the
influences of that moment and that place in space show your potentials that can
be actualized in the future. None of us comes unbound into this
livingness. We do not start here, and we do not finish our livingness
here. Life is eternal.
The horoscope is a blueprint of our character. Character is destiny.
We can change by changing our attitudes and patterns of behavior. The
blueprint shows our character and personality pattern; our human nature, but we
are spirit, too. The stars impel but do not compel. An understanding
of planetary influences allows us to take life into our hands and intelligently
utilize these influences.
Astrology deals with symbols much like other sciences. The signs of the
zodiac are symbols of great and potent forces. The physical planets are
but the outer forms through which soul energies manifest. It is these
energies that affect us, not the physical planets. When you meet a person
you are not affected by his physical body; we respond to a person's character
and personality - their essence. The same is true with planetary
influences.
Let us consider the horoscope to be a roadmap. It shows the conditions
you are going to meet in life. Some of the roads on which you will travel
will be smooth and easy if you have built them well in a past that your
personality does not remember. Some of the roads will be in poor condition
and need repair. If you repair them and put them into good condition your
vehicle will not break down and cause you difficulties and delays.
Dwelling on the symbols, pondering their meanings, meditating on these
energies will bring you in contact with the power behind the symbols.
The birthchart deals with four primary factors: planets, signs, houses and
aspects. Planets are what is operating; signs are how the energy is
operating; houses show where the energies operate (the life situations); aspects
are the flow of force between the planets. The deeper you delve into your
natal chart the more detailed analyses you will have of your personality
structure and the greater the healing possibilities. And this is the
purpose of living: to heal.
Remember: Your Will is Your Life.
