The astrology of these times of the end is of no use or of any good because it is pure business. The authentic astrology of Chaldean sages has already been forgotten. —Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic |
Practical AstrologyGnosticism teaches that all the universe (macrocosmos) is reflected within the true human being (microcosmos). "As above, so below." This ancient axiom applies to the stellar influences of the zodiac, which, when harnessed through specific practices, can awaken the full potential of the consciousness and provoke direct experiences with the divine intelligences behind any constellation.
It is really lamentable that this living human zodiac, the microcosm, sleeps so profoundly. On the basis of tremendous super-efforts, it becomes indispensable to achieve the awakening of consciousness in each of our twelve zodiacal signs. Light and consciousness are two phenomena of the same thing: to a lesser degree of consciousness there corresponds a lesser degree of light; to a greater degree of consciousness, a greater degree of light. We need to awaken consciousness in order to cause each of the twelve parts of our own microcosmic zodiac to shine and sparkle. Our entire zodiac must become light and splendor. —Samael Aun Weor, Practical Astrology |
Astrology has often been condemned for its superficiality, superstition, and impracticality, especially because this tradition had long since degenerated into fortune-telling acts of blind faith, charlatanism, and ignorance. Genuine astrology, however, has been conserved by the initiatic schools within the higher worlds while the physical tradition was adulterated, corrupted, and sterilized.
Therefore, practical astrology goes far beyond the speculations and theories of so-called "authorities" on the subject, specifically since the true purpose of this knowledge is to awaken consciousness and to experience spiritual reality for oneself, not to scrutinize, memorize, and apply complicated tables and charts. Now for the first time, students can apply this conserved wisdom for the alleviation of suffering and the development of their complete and divine potential. Through practical exercises with each zodiacal sign, disciples of the initiatic path can achieve the awakening of the consciousness and direct knowledge of the majesties of the universe.
