Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )

Can numbers represent Reality? Yes, said Pythagorus. In fact, the mysteries
of the Universe and all sciences are contained in numbers! Do we not say
that everything is one & do we not use ad infinitum in our talk ? They are
numbers !

Relationship between Astrology & Gem Therapy

Medical Astrology finds out the causative factors of diseases and can heal
diseases pronounced incurable by conventional medicine. Gem Therapy is an
integral part of Medical Astrology.

Heart Diseases

Heart attack is defined as a case of coronary thrombosis. This happens when
the heart is unable to to pump blood efficiently to all parts of the body.
There are 20 kinds of heart diseases that affect the heart muscles, the
valves of the heart or its inner or outer lining. There are a number of
functional disorders of the heart. High B P ( hypertension) and hardening of
the arteries ( arteriosclerosis ) are severe types. Rheumatic fever is also
a type of heart disease. Stellar patterns The 4th and 5th signs of the
Zodiac rule over our heart. The 4th house from the Ascendant rules the
heart. The causative planets for heart disease are Moon, Jupiter, Mercury,
Sun, Saturn and Rahu. Since planets in the 11th house of the Zodiac,
Aquarius, aspect Leo, Aquarius is also considered to be a 'heart disease'
sign. Afflictions to the 4th house, Leo or Aquarius will result in heart
disease. Another causative factor is the Sun in Cancer, Aquarius or Pisces.

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Awakening to a New Holistic Health Awareness

Only after undergoing an inner conversion do people start on a holistic
health programme. This conversion may come naturally in the fulness of time
or by coming into contact with a holistic health adept or Yoga teacher. But
more commonly, the inner transformation takes place only when people have
reached the limits of suffering or when the shadow of some terminal illness
looms large on the horizon. Fear, they say, is the beginning of wisdom.

Pain is the first born of the Inconscience

And thy body's dumb original base !

Whatever way the change occurs, it takes the form of two inner processes; a
new attitude towards one's body and a feeling of responsibility for one's
own health.

Man's greatest enemy - Thanatos ( Death-instinct )

The notion that what a person loves most is his own body has been roved
erroneous by Freud. Freud, who declared that pleasure seeking ( hedonism )
was the basic instinct in man, modified his view later. He came to the
conclusion that along with Life-instinct ( known as Eros ) man had
apparently a powerful Death-instinct ( known as Thanatos ) which manifested
itself as Self-hate & aggressive behaviour. He showed that not all accidents
were really accidents. The accident-proneness of the victims produced by the
unconscious death wish they had cherished was the cause behind some
accidents. Research has indicated enough evidence for vicious & insidious
forms of self-hate in man. We can understand how self-hate operates on the
level of the Unconscious if we observe the way many people abuse their own
stomachs, lungs & other vital organs, and the way some people bring ruin
upon themselves by yielding to drug addiction & alcoholism. This self-hate
acts as an inhibiting factor for most individuals. Success can be achieved,
said Dr Maxwell Maltz, if this inhibitive factor is removed from the mind.
Most people are unaware of it & drift through life unaware of the self- harm
they do. Some of them wake up from this unconscious drifting and begin to
have a new attitude - an attitude of love, friendliness and peace towards
themselves & their brethren.It actually indicates the dawn of true love for
one's higher Self known as the Atman.

Thanatos was known in Vedanta as Thamas ( the destructive element in man ).
Thamas is destructive and self-destructive. By yogic sadhana alone can this
Thamas or Thanatos be destroyed.

Yet till evil is slain in its own home

And light invades the world's inconscient base

And perished is the Adversary force

He ( the Saviour ) must still labour on, his work halfdone! ( Aurobindo )

A good site where you can get quality information about Holistic Medicine is
www.holistic-alt.com

Ayurveda averrs that Rajas ( humanity ) and Thamas (bestiality ) are the
pathogenic factors. Satwa (divinity) is non-pathogenic. So if we take only
foods which are Satwic ( like fruits and vegetables - total 400 gms per day)
no disease can assail us.

Astrology & Yoga Therapy

The Evolution of Medicine & the Three Eras of Medicine

Allopathic Medicine or " Physical Medicine" belongs to the first era. It is
Cartesian and creates a dichotomy between mind & body. Treating a disease is
like fixing a part of the machine. The second era of medicine refers to
'Mind-Body medicine." It became popular in the 1960s with the advent of
Meditation, imagery, hypnosis & bio-feedback. Mind and body are
interconnected by messenger molecules and these molecules are invoked to
accomplish the healing process.

The third era of Medicine refers to " Transpersonal Medicine ". It became
popular in 1990s with the advent of group support and spirituality to heal.

Yoga therapy supplements the second and the third eras of medicine. Yoga
therapy complements medical technology with a holistic system of health care
that addresses the triune problems - physical, mental & spiritual. The
author of Yoga Sutras, Patanjal, defined it as the Science of the Mind. Mind
is the root cause of bondage and in order to redeem us from the thraldom of
the mind, we have to annilhilate the mind. Extirpation of thought waves is
Yoga. And it is through teaching us to control our mind, our desires, and
our reactions to stress, that yoga can fundamentally help us. It is based on
the tripod of Life - Body, Mind & Self & the three levels of Being- Doing,
Thinking & pure Being.

Astrology determines the time which is auspicious for taking medicines and
along with Yoga Therapy can nurse one to back health.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

Tantra is based on the Coiled Serpentine Energy known as the Kundalini. Once
the Golden Serpent rises, your thinking will change.Your perceptions will
change. Then you need not rely on books. Then your mind will become your
book. This wonderful phenomenon called the mind is a repository of endless
knowledge. Once the Kundalini via the Sushumna rises, we reach a
transcendental plane. The main aim of the Yogi is to open the Sushumna. On
the path of the Sushmna are the Chakras, dynamoes of cosmic energy in man.

She sports as Universal Power in the Macrocosm; and in the microcosm as the
coiled Serpent Power!

Infinite Power of the Absolute art Thou!

The Cause of the Universe as Maya

The entire Creation is Thy Play

Thy blessing is Bliss Absolute !

The essence of all sciences art Thou

All women Thy manifestations !

The visible Universe Thou art

And the dormant Serpentine Power !

Astro-Therapy used in Vedic Astrology is Tantric. The images of the
planetary energies are propitiated on the days assigned to them.




Scientia intuitiva est scientia prima - The first science
was intuitively inspired.

"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.

Mundane or International Astrology

The United States is ruled by Gemini,an intellectual &
enterprising sign. Aries rules England. This is confirmed by
Shakespeare who defined London as the seat of Mars!

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,

This demi-Eden, this semi-Paradise,

England, bound in with a triumphant sea,

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 ).
America's symbol is the Eagle, indicating that the U S will
have dominion over air !

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
Eye Beryl, Fibrolit Saturn Blue Sapphire Blue Spinel,
amethyst Mars Coral Cornelian, bloodstone

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 !
