Aquarius: The 11th Sign of the Zodiac
January 20th thru February 20th

I KNOW

The world has moved into the astral current of Aquarius. The spirit of this energy is defined by a quest for KNOWLEDGE and the expression of HUMANITARIAN IDEALS. During this period, institutions that are based only on a foundation of Belief will tend to fall apart. The orthodoxies of the Piscean Age are no longer functional for successful living on this planet.

Facts that have been proven to be a part of physical reality must be included in a religion of the Aquarian Age. All obtainable information must be organized into a consistent structure and made practical in application. And, as the zodiacal sign pictures a Human, this religion must provide humanity with the best possible method of meeting every contingency of life.

Knowledge of astrology plays an essential role in determining a constructive course of action. Because astrological relationships, through their correspondence with things on the earth and within the mind, are the avenues to the more comprehensive Knowledge required by an Aquarian Age religion, the religion thus formulated should be called The Religion of the Stars.

This religion is based on wisdom that expresses the facts of Nature and the Aquarian spirit of altruism, the text associated with the constellation is: Do and Think Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do and Think Unto You.

For use at times when strife, haste and waste of energy, harshness, temper or violence enter our life.

Constructive Aggressive Urges express as Initiative in the use of energies for constructive work and action, building up instead of tearing down.

O Thou Eternal Spirit, in Whom I live, move, breathe and have my Being! Temper my aggressive activity with gentleness in all that I do and say. Direct my love into channels of care and protection for others. Let the chief interest of my life be constructive service to the weak and helpless.

So Shall It Be!....

Why Astrology and the Tarot are so important to understanding Traditional Knowledge

“The word Kabala signifies traditional knowledge. It thus refers to the Oral Law, as handed down from antiquity; and embraces the occult traditions of all lands and all peoples. Often it is used merely as referring to the esoteric doctrines of the Jews; but in its broader sense it includes also the secret doctrine of other races. This secret doctrine, common to many lands, was jealously guarded from the profane, and was never permitted to pass into writing except in such ambiguous terms as to baffle the uninitiated as to its true purport. “In this sense the sacred books of the world, including the Avesta, the Vedas and the Bible are largely kabalistical; for they set forth traditions that are capable of an inner, or esoteric, interpretation. In fact, there are usually several interpretations possible, each more inner version revealing a deeper truth to those who have advanced along the path far enough to comprehend it.”

“And this seems the proper place to point out that the unwritten kabala, like the written kabala, is set forth in symbolical language, with purposeful blinds and subterfuges to confuse the uninitiated; so that of the few who undoubtedly exist at the present day who have received it, most remain in as much ignorance of its true interpretation as the majority of students do after studying the more accessible written kabala. “This unwritten kabala has been transmitted only through certain secret schools. Those receiving it well merit what is given to them. They are left to their own devices in the matter of interpretation. And because the real keys to its interpretation—astrology and the tarot—have been largely ignored, or distorted, they have floundered sadly in arriving at its meaning. Whether written or unwritten, the kabala is a philosophy correlated to esoteric astrology as exemplified by the tarot; and it can only be comprehended fully by those who perceive the true relation between astrological energies and their pictured tarot exemplification.”
