"The aim of scientia intuitiva", said Spinoza," is to find



behind things and events Laws and their eternal relations".

What the Seers cognised in higher states of Consciousness -

in Cosmic Consciousness and above - came to be known as the

12 Intuitive Sciences and these collectively came to be

known as the eternal Vedas. Hence these sciences are said to

be divine in origin. Descendit e Caelo - They come from

Heaven ! They were never written, they were heard ! What the

Seers still hear is only an infinitesimal portion of the

Infinite Vedas ( Ananta Vai Veda )! They have been defined

as the Breath of the Eternal!

Universal Time

One degree of longitude is 4 minutes and Time is calculated

based on longitude.. The calculations of Sunrise and

Ascendant are based on latitude and these mathematical

values vary from latitude to latitude.

The Vedic concept of Time is based on the celestial

phenomenon of the rotation of the earth round its own axis

and its movement around the Sun. One constitutes the

Celestial Sphere and the other the Ecliptic Sphere.

The role of Saturn in the science of Horoscopy

The second biggest planet in the solar system, Saturn is

also one of the the most important planets. 700 earths can

be fit into Saturn. He is the indicator of Sorrow and if he

be benign, the horoscopian will be a Wise One freed from

sorrow. If he be weak, the horoscopian will be melancholic

and depressed and unable to come out of the web of the

sorrow of the temporal.

enterprising sign. Aries rules England. This is confirmed by

Shakespeare who defined London as the seat of Mars!

Whose rocky shores beat back the envious siege

Of watery Neptune !

Aquarius rules Russia. It is ruled by Saturn, who ,in the

words of Cheiro, symbolises an unknown and unknowable power,

Soviet Russia ! Jupiter rules the Mongloid race ( Asians ).

Astrology's Interrelatedness with other disciplines

The Law of Cosmic Interrelatedness

This Law points out that not only all parts of the Cosmos

are interrelated but all sciences ( as parts of the Whole )

are interrelated.

Astro-Numerology

Pythagorus saw that the Key to the Mystery of the Universe

was held by numbers. Furthur researches in Astro-Numerology

has shown that Combined Fadic, Name and Birth Numbers have

effects along with the individual Fadic, Name & Birth

Numbers.

Astro-Gemology

In his famous book " Ancient Astral Gemstones & Talismans",

Richard S Brown records that not only the Nine Primary Gems

but other secondary gems are also used in Planetary Gem Therapy.

Planet Primary Gem Secondary Gems

Sun Ruby Red Spinel & red Garnet Moon Pearl Moonstone

Jupiter Yellow Sapphire Yellow Topaz, Citrine Rahu

Hessonite Orange Zircon Mercury Emerald Green

Tourmaline,jade Venus Diamond White Sapphire Ketu Cat's

Astrology & Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda )

The seven planets correspond to seven gross elements(dhatus)

thus

Jupiter Fat

Saturn Veins

Mars Bone Marrow

Sun Bones

Moon Blood

Mercury Skin

Venus Seminal Energy

Medical astrologers of yore could discern the cause of

disease by analysing the horoscope. A weak planet during its

period of directional influence can bestow disease. If the

fourth house is afflicted, it clearly means affliction to

the heart ( as the heart is the 4th house by

correspondence). If the sixth house is afflicted, digestive

tract disorders are indicated.

Astrology, Astronomy & Mythology - Allegories & Symbolism

Bacon in his book " De Sapientia Vaterum " ( Of the Wisdom

of the Ancients ) opined that scientific truths are

contained in Mythology. For instance, there is a story in

Greek Mythology that Athena was taking bath in a pond where

Zeus (Jupiter) was taking bath. Zeus got angry and threw her

out of the pond. This is an allegorical depiction of an

earlier theory in Astronomy that Venus was a satellite of

Jupiter and was expelled from the orbit of Jupiter!

Mythology is, in other words, nothing but the representation

of Astronomical truths. As per the Vedic Code, the function

of Epic and Mythology is to adumbrate philosophic verities!

The Ursa Major Cycle

The first astronomical calender was erected by the Vedic

Emperor Vaivaswatha Manu ( circa 8576 A D ). It was based on

the Ursa Major Cycle. The constellation of Ursa Major (

Sapta Rishies or the Seven Seers), stays in a constellation

for 100 years and to make a retrograde circuit of the Zodiac

( as the Zodiac is tenanted by 27 constellations), it takes

2700 years. All Vedic Mythology is based on these

astronomical calculations. Prof. Drayson says in his

"Asiatic Researches " that " the Vedists thought proper to

connect their Mythology with an astronomical period of a

strange nature. It is that of the Seven Rishies ( Seers ),

moving along the Zodiac in retrograde motion & taking 2700

years to complete one circuit". Ursa Major, the Great

Bear,was in Regulus ( Magha ) at the start of the

Mahabharatha War !

Astrology as related to Yoga.

Yoga has been defined as the Art of Conscious Self finding.

"The aim of the Integral Yoga ", said Aurobindo," is to know

& deal with the secret forces which determine our destiny ".

"Life, not a remotely silent or a highly ecstatic uplifted

beyond, Life alone is the field of our Yoga", spake the

Master.

The barriers on the path of a spiritual aspirant are the "

hostile forces" in Man - namely, lust,anger,pride,avarice,

attachment, sloth & covetousness, which lie in the

subconscient ( subconscious mind).

Man houses dangerous forces in his house

The Titan, the Fury and the Djinn

Lay in the subconscient's cavern pit

And the Beast moved in his antre den !

The Science of the heavens, as the friend, philosopher &

guide of all humanity can advise the aspirant to overcome

the " enemies " within him - which are formidable forces -

and reach the Goal of Life, Self Actualisation.

Offshoot of Yoga in the West - Free Masonry

In the Occidental world, Free Masonry existed as a noble

science and as a royal Art. Pythagorus was one of the

founding fathers & Free Masonry was enhanced by scholars who

were familiar with Oriental Wisdom. It originated from the

Vedists of the East and its development was greatly

influenced by Pythagorus. Similar to the Oriental belief of

benign forces helping an aspirant, there existed a belief (

in Free Masonry ) of a Grand Lodge in the heavens watching

over the Masonic Israel on earth and superintending its

development.

Our aim is the union of East and West, of inner freedom &

outer mastery. Isn't the Universe one perfect Whole and

aren't we parts of that Whole ? All Seers have seen the

essence of that perfect Whole as nothing but Love ! All

Wisdom is contained in Love !
