How Astrology Really Works
Julian Lee Copyright Julian Lee 2013 M ost don't realize astrological phenomena play out in the following half-dozen realms: 1) What you think two) Sensations in the body

three) What you hear, run across, or notice

4) Actions you experience similar taking but don't accept

5) Deportment y'all exercise take

6) Occurrences (Events that Happen)

Discover that the list moves from subtle to grosser forms of manifestation. A

strological skeptics -- and a few astrological fools -- tend to focus on the realm of occurrences and events exclusively and the supposed desire to predict them when criticizing star divination. They believe that the goal of astrology is to predict exactly what will happen at Level half-dozen.

But a given astrological transit, such as Mars-Quincunx-Saturn, will exist found playing out in realms 1-5 long earlier any grosser manifestation in Level six.

Long earlier anybody "knocks on the door" (a Level 6 effect occurs) the transit associated with that knock has been playing out in the mind, in bodily sensations, and the things seen out the window or on a walk around the block.

Meanwhile, what the private does or doesn't do in the first 5 levels impacts what happens at Level 6. Thus...

-- what he thinks of or doesn't think of
-- what he does or doesn't do about actual sensations
-- what he notices or doesn't discover
-- what he allows or doesn't let
-- actions he takes or doesn't take...

profoundly modify what can manifest at Level vi.

Let's say one is about to have Mars square their Mercury for the next x days. If 1 does a lot of #3 -- does a lot of skillful seeing, hearing and noticing during this transit -- information technology greatly attenuates what will happen at #six (events). Uncomplicated watching/observing/noting has ability to very much drain the Level vi swamp. In fact the Buddhist technique of Vipassana employs this wisdom at Level 2 -- sensations in the body. Past focusing on them and, in outcome, magnifying these modest sensations, huge and grotesque astrological karma is busted/neutralized at the level of the body.

See, the planets (the karma) simply demand that you feel a thing mentally. They ultimately only require that y'all feel various combinations of mental ideas.

And there are states you can enter in which they tin't fifty-fifty require that...

I written report and picket my own personal transits on a daily footing, and have done then for many years. So what'south written here comes from that personal ascertainment, and then calculation in much vicarious information through talking to my clients with their transits.

1 of the principles involved with observing (#iii) is that the mind magnifies a thing past focus on it. Meanwhile, magnifying that experience, the transit becomes "satisfied."

Oft I have "sat through" a bad transit to see if not-activeness (#four/5) can reduce manifestations of a transit. Such is the case! We can "sit out" a great many negative transits and they become very deflated thereby. Activity makes a transit aggrandize in its potential.

At other times I might cull to act through a transit I know is negative, only inside a limited sphere.

A funny vignette will demonstrate how noticing and mental magnification works: I recollect one mean solar day my transit was something like Mars-Dodecile-Moon, and it was very strong that day. (Mars transits involve very noticeable things, by and large.) Nether this transit, walking around the block might typically produce things like "people fighting," the appearance of a constabulary car, an ambitious panhandler, a lot of cursing or unpleasant visuals (on my "Mars" transits I often run beyond people with tattoos and piercings), loud sounds...but on a walk around the block. I knew this by years of observation. My experiment that day was to walk around the block, only, but to look down at my anxiety and sidewalk, taking in a very express amount of information. I wanted as well see if the transit would all the same manifest itself somehow, plus run across how subtle I could get my "observing" to be.

So I commenced my walk, staring downwardly resolutely, and within 100 paces I was seeing the transit: I saw graffiti written on the sidewalk that I'd not seen before. I saw some litter that was unpleasant and had not been in that location before. And then I saw two ants in boxing. They were minor. Typically nobody would encounter them. They were engaged, trying to impale each other.

All of the to a higher place items were, I knew, subtle manifestations of my Mars-hitting-Moon. Mars hits oftentimes 'produce' messes, fibroid things. But the "ants fighting" was perfect and really took the block! Next I suddenly ran into a thick wire pinion, one of those things at an angle that the urban center puts in to hold a telephone pole up, and I almost tripped on it. It had non been in that location before. (Mars hits are oftentimes associated with physical accidents and metallic equipment.)

So from that experiment we can come across that: Whatever "activeness" in time/infinite will allow the transit manifest, but that very subtle things can "satisfy" the transit. For the rest of my walk I mused about the "2 ants fighting" and the whole topic of fights, aggression, territory, the amazing stories I'd heard of ants who could eat a hapless adventurer, times I'd had to get rid of ants or infestations in my house, that fourth dimension I had wasps in my porch. Then came to listen some experiences in my teens where I was harassed/threatened past some other young men while walking virtually my home boondocks, how they threw rocks at me, etc.

Basically the tiny thing on the surface of the sidewalk -- two ants fighting, and particularly my mental concentration on it, and so the thoughts that I brought into my mind that had me experiencing certain ideas -- allowed for the fulfillment of my Mars-Square-Mercury during that hr. These were all subtle things -- the graffiti on the sidewalk, the ants, and my thoughts -- but I magnified them in my mind by noticing and pondering.

And then this power of noticing things in the environment or in the body -- this being fields #2 and #3 -- is a very bones power in "chart transcendence," and learning to utilize this technique very much modifies what can manifest at level 6.

To mention an even more basic ability: Whether he/she chooses to sleep for a while or do meditation, during a particular moon transit, utterly controls what he/she experiences!

One tin hands take a nap through a difficult moon transit, for instance, and it basically kills information technology off. Aught happens! When sleeping, you don't feel your earthly transits much or at all. They are pulled out by the root. This may seem obvious yet it relates to the core principle under discussion: That what is experienced mentally and bodily is the controlling factor in what finally manifests at, say, Level 6.

The stride of i's animate also -- and this relates to sleep and meditation -- likewise controls how planetary phenomena may manifest on a given day or 60 minutes. The faster and more mind-stimulated the jiff, the grosser will be transit manifestation. The slower and more than subtle the breath, the more such manifestation will go subtle...

Star divination is far more subtle, layered -- and magical -- than astrology skeptics are capable of anticipating. This is to be expected because the materialist type has already been denying the larger magic of the textile globe, itself.

With astrology, a list of phenomena and conditions can definitely exist predicted, in the case of any particular setup. Yous tin can also list them from gross to subtle. "Your firm burns down" would be a gross possibility of, say, Mars-Dodecile-fourth-House-Ruler-for-3 weeks.

subtle fruit from the same transit might be:. "Your neighbor burns a lot of trash and you lot see ruby-red vehicles around your firm, the cops show up for some reason."

An even more subtle version would be "You read a little chip about the Smashing Fire of Chicago" or "You hear almost a friend having a burn" and "you finally mow the backyard."

The one who has done a lot of items i-thru-five, specially the "noticing" -- will be the one who gets the nicer versions merely in a higher place.

A concept to grasp is that yous continually change the manifesting possibilities of your chart/transits as you alter the contents of your mind and trunk. This is logical since the outwardly- manifested weather condition/events are naught but a project of your ain physical body, just as a picture show on a screen in a picture viewing is manifested by a light seedling, lens, and strip of plastic. The chart is like the schematic that contains the possible pictures/stories. If yous could visualize a crystal with a lite shining on information technology, which projects a particular colour on a wall, and imagine that applying different heat/cold to the crystal alters the color projected: That'due south the best analogy here. The contents of your trunk-mind control how much, or what grossness/fineness tin be projected. If, for example, by yogic development you could reach a country in which your body is burning with pranic heat, and your mind is subsumed with bliss -- you'd detect your chart/trunk immediately manifesting very satvic and magical outer phenomena, phenomena that was never possible for your torso/mind to manifest in the ordinary state.

Why Star divination Tin't Regularly Predict Exact Events

Because many of these half-dozen above are subtle realms, and considering we have the power of going to sleep equally well as slowing the breath and mind, and the power to find or not notice a thing, to human action or refrain from interim, and because no moment always contains a repeat of planetary configurations, and considering every planetary configuration is capable of showing with a wide range of possibilities -- information technology is impossible to predict exactly what volition happen.

Who would want to, when there is so much choice, and when predicting the future would destroy the pleasure of life? Life actually consists of your Soul playing games with your earthly ego-self. Your ain Soul knows that existence would be hell if everything could be predicted, thus your Soul does not allow that state of affairs to develop. Your Soul, which is space in knowledge and elation, ever knows more than the earthly ego-self and its strategies and theories, and will ever nowadays surprises to it. In my own astrology I'm always moving from plateaus where I retrieve I know a lot, to being bandage out to sea once more by some new cognition-vista, and regretting the days when I thought I "knew it all." Astrological knowledge continually expands just like knowledge of the material universe expands. Yet the Soul always knows more. In fact, outer knowledge is just tiny distillations and accretions secured from that Self.

Predictors Often Do Harm

Given a particular technical situation, a range of phenomena tin exist confidently predicted, from gross to subtle; from what nosotros could call low-end to high end. Example: Let'due south say Saturn will agonize a woman'south union ruler for ii years. A gross upshot might be divorce or decease of her husband. A high-end or subtle issue would be: He works a lot, he's non so present or available to her, or possibly he will be ill or challenged in another way. Information technology is really non technically possible to predict whether the woman will have the depression-end, or more than high-end, and as illustrated, information technology depends on her responses and how much she registers things in levels 1 thru 5. Still, the loving and constructive role of an astrologer would be to direct her heed to the high end possibilities (his work, unavailability).

In my work if I see detail bad challenges ahead for a client, I almost never breathe (speak) the lower-end possibilities, because I know that speaking those will make them more likely to come truthful. Instead I direct their minds to some of the loftier-end possibilities.

When an astrologer makes a prediction based on astrology he/she is only doing these 2 things:

1) He is making a statement serving him/herself, in terms of manifesting their own karma and desired consequence, and

two) They are attempting to place their marking on the external earth, through that speech/prediction. The caste to which they succeed at that relates to their own power of speech and volition.

Faux Premises Held past Skeptics

Skeptics approach the idea of astrology (note they always approach "the idea of star divination" -- non star divination itself) with false bounds about what it is; or with unnecessary or absurd theories of "how it's supposed to piece of work" such every bit the idea of "planetary influences," "cosmic rays," etc. Or that information technology is supposed to "predict exactly what will happen in the future."

In this paper I indicate out that astrology is the one field where the materialist insists on having a credible theory of explanation before he is willing to report it by watching his transits, or collecting many natal charts. With all other scientific studies, the miracle itself is studied every bit a phenomenon though no theory even so exists to explicate information technology. Only after studying the phenomenon itself does the scientist try to create a theory to explicate it. Then the theory explaining the phenomenon typically evolves and changes.

Only with astrology exercise the materialists require a terminal theory for "how information technology could be true" before looking at the miracle itself.. Because of this I suspect that they are reacting emotionally and irrationally to astrology.

This is, I can only estimate, because they view astrology as threatening to their assumptions virtually what the world is, or maybe for other neurotic or emotional reasons. I suppose it makes them agape. Maybe it threatens to topple some of the paradigms past which they understand the earth. Possibly they accept met some simpleton astrology types who gave them a negative impression of what astrology is. Perhaps they instinctively know that it challenges basic assumptions about life and what the fabric creation actually is: The extension of themselves and their own mind. Astrology does atomic number 82 yous to that determination.

The scientist doesn't realize that he is only studying himself, his ain mental projections; his ain karma. Astrological observation leads you to that conclusion faster than the scientists' studies. The scientist is led incessantly into the swirling eddies of his own mind that he calls The Universe, e'er viewing it as "other."

This paper is written to accost the premises and childish refusal of astrology skeptics to actually study astrological correlation without having a satisfactory theory in hand. I also show how their starting premises are often irrelevant, optional, or useless. I then give applied communication for the report of star divination in which -- as with most other studies and investigations -- no theory-of-cause or explanation for astrological correlation need exist in hand. Y'all simply sentry life and watch your transits (or study natal charts) and run into what you see.

I hope that perhaps only one in a thousand skeptics reads this and becomes a natural astrologer. As I mention below, I would not similar to 50 alive in a world in which star divination was whatever more popular than it already is. In star divination you come across your ain self-projected law. Virtually people are already encumbered enough. Equally Jesus said, "Take no thought for tomorrow...sufficient to the day is the evil thereof." In other words, each day already has enough sorrows and limitations. Don't make it worse. Astrological knowledge is a brunt. A wise human being, after encountering astrological laws -- as subtle and mystifying as they are -- before long sets about trying to dissolve them in God'south Seven Seas or burn them in a Divine Fire. Yet in my own life, understanding astrological charts was the saving grace that made me capable of begetting sorrows and staving off madness. All of this is simply passing karma. Astrology shows you that.

-- Julian Lee

Allow me say at the outset that I'chiliad thoroughly happy if the majority of people don't know about star divination, view it every bit nonsense, or fear it as is frequently the case.

Happy as dial. I would not like living in a world in which the majority of people had astrological knowledge. I am non going to explain why I feel that mode, but let me say it at the get-go.

Another mode of putting it is that I have no desire to convince cocksure attackers, who pose as science types just are really approaching the enigma of astrology emotionally and who, different the scientist, demand a plausible theory of "how" earlier even looking at the phenomenon itself. Neither do I desire to convince the fearful and unadventurous virtually the universal cohesion seen in astrology. I take no wish to disturb anybody's world. I'm happy to leave them alone. My phone continually rings with the voices of those who take experienced the deep validity of astrological observation. From a purely selfish standpoint it is better that few know, for example, about my particular make of locational assay and how I discover ameliorate locations for people where definite changes can hands be predicted. Thus I tend not to fifty-fifty gush to avid astrologers most astrology.

That's what it is, you know. Astrology is essentially the observation of the microcosm (humans) with reference to the macrocosm. You don't demand to believe annihilation or even sympathize how. Just watch. A good astrologer is a Watcher.

But it's more fun that most don't know near astrology in whatsoever convincing way. For one thing, people who are into their charts and transits are the nearly tiresome and boring people in the globe, to me. I'd prefer to talk to non-astrologers and I don't want a globe full of white-knuckled chart watchers. They lose the magic and they take away the magic for me. Merely every at present and then I can become drawn into explanations.

The essential claim of astrology is that at that place is a correlation between life phenomena and the planetary positions and movements.

Not that that correlation is not perfectly comprehensible, or that it correlates perfectly. We can say that traffic incidents similar speeding tickets or parking tickets usually correlate with the transiting moon making a hard aspect to Saturn. But we can't find a gear up of transits sure to predict a parking ticket. On the other hand the hard moon transits to Saturn are almost sure to predict some kind of stress, mess, screwup, or unpleasantness. You detect out about this hands past logging the planetary positions whenever you have unpleasant experiences.

The claim of star divination is not that one can predict exactly what volition happen. Who would want such a life? And how could it be washed when every moment is new, with no gear up of planetary configurations e'er repeating exactly?

Astrology doesn't claim to be a scientific discipline. That would exist a downgrade. I'g insulted if somebody tries to praise astrology by calling information technology a science.

Isn't it science and the scientific attitude that has most f---d up the world? And the thing that never delivers on its promise (to become rid of duality/issues)?

The all-time use of astrology, moreover, does not business concern "happenings" much. It's best use is to give agreement and the comfort understanding brings.

It'south very highest use is to enable the canny watcher to discern the deviation between mere adept karma and grace; the difference between transits and the Transcendental. It becomes, for the wise, the biofeedback organization leading into states of grace.

Astrology is not a affair of temperatures, boiling points, weights and exact measures. No, information technology is non a mere unsatisfactory cloth science. It's loaded with layers, filters, modifiers, and mysteries. Only similar the balance of your self-projected world-dream.

In general astrology is far more than complex and layered than the average skeptic (or uneducated critic) wants information technology to exist.

Now let me repeat the essential claim of astrology: that at that place is a correlation between life phenomena and the planetary positions and movements. Now to testify that almost skeptics are ill-equipped to even talk over astrology, allow'southward ask: What is meant by "life phenomena" that ends up correlating with planetary positions? Where do these phenomena take place? This is where the skeptics are immediately out of their depth. The realms of life phenomena that correlate with planetary positions encompass at least 6 areas:

1) What you lot think; what comes into the mind,

2) Sensations in the torso (noticed and unnoticed),

3) What you hear, run into, or observe,

4) Actions you experience like taking, or call up of doing, simply don't practise,

5) What actions you do take

6) Occurrences. Events, 'Things that happen' or arise on their own, whether in the course of taking activeness or not.

Yes, astrological transits manifest as mere thoughts. And aye, they come out as feelings in the torso. And the about interesting thing is how you can walk around the cake or through your neighborhood and immediately witness your changing astrological transits playing out -- but in what you notice or observe. That phrase "notice or detect" is very key, and makes a big difference.

Notice that nearly of the phenomena of life play out in these 6 areas.

Besides, astrological correlation can be studied in these same six realms.

Neurotic attackers of astrology (who have usually never studied even their moon transits much less their Mars-foursquare-Moon) tend to focus exclusively on number vi -- events that happen. They think an astrologer is preoccupied with predicting events.

The fascinating fact is that what is done/non done in the prior five areas volition change outcomes in #six, or events.

That is, whether you "notice" a affair in #3 or walk past it modifies what emerges in levels iv, 5, and 6.

They desire a good theory earlier investigation

Normally when men wish to investigate a affair they look at the phenomenon itself. Only afterward they might endeavor to come up upwards with theories or explanations for the miracle.

For example, a early traveler might say "I went to Madagascar and at that place is a lizard that can change its color." Or "At that place is a bird that tin swallow poison." The fellow dorsum home with a true scientific attitude will say, "I tin't imagine how that could exist, but I want to come there and report it." Then just after studying the phenomenon does he endeavor to come up upward with theories of how/why. This is the correct approach to astrology, besides. But a more emotional type will say: "I can't excogitate of HOW a lizard could change colors. Then I am not interested in coming to study your absurd claim." That is, he says: "I can't conceive of how planets could control/influence us, so I am non going to study it."

Discover that he has presumed astrology is about planets "controlling" or "influencing." I am an astrologer and I don't believe planets command or influence! So he is, as usual, budgeted it with false assumptions.

But more importantly, discover his emotional opinion that he must accept a satisfactory caption Commencement, before he will deign study the miracle.

This is non normally how people proceed in investigations. They want to run across the phenomenon beginning, so theorize about it later. Simply the astrological skeptic makes an exception with astrology: He must take a plausible theory before he studies the phenomenon itself. I would tell him: "Simply make journal whenever transiting Mars opposes, squares, or conjuncts your natal moon. Write downwards what happens." Pretty soon he'll exist a 'believer' in astrology or at least realize there is something uncanny to it. Merely he won't have a theory of how information technology works, and he didn't need one. He just needed to study it.

Just for some reason most ostensibly "science" minded men ever reverse the normal processes of investigation with astrology. They say: "I can't conceive of how/why it should work, so therefore it must be nonsense and I won't written report information technology." It's like the hometown fellow circa 1800 proverb "I tin can't conceive of how a cadger tin modify color, and so I'm not going to look at it. Only after you give me a believable theory for it will I await at your lizard." They also, typically, are carrying lots of baggage in the class of theories (such as "planets cause things" or "planets emit rays" etc.) They must have a believable and logical theory in manus first before they volition study the subject. Only with astrology do they reverse things this way and require a conceivable explanation first.

The skeptics typically approach star divination with a catalog of pre-registered premises most the "how" of astrology: that planets "crusade" or "command," or that "catholic rays" are emitted from planets, or that in that location is "a scorpion in the sky," etc. (Information technology never occurs to them there there was never a scorpion in the sky, and ane tin connect star-dots in limitless means to imagine fanciful pictures. For the "precession" fanatics, they don't realize that the 0 Aries point is still the spring equinox and that these creatures never existed in the sky.)

Another of their false premises is that astrology is supposed to predict "exactly what's going to happen." They have this expectation even though at each moment a completely unique set of planetary movements is occurring -- one that has never occurred before in history. (Even if the chief purpose of astrology was to predict "what volition happen," if every moment in fourth dimension involves an unprecedented, never-occurred set up of planetary configurations, how can everyone predict exactly what will happen?)

Theories about the Northern Lights continually change, nonetheless we ever studied the Northern Lights. Why practice astrology skeptics require a stock-still-and-final satisfactory theory for star divination they volition really study it?

Fifty-fifty in the realm of material science the theories that explicate a phenomenon are plant to modify. At beginning they think the sky is bluish for one reason, then another. At first they recall fire makes blisters for one reason, then another. At first they think cancer is acquired by i thing, then another. This is one more reason the theory-earlier-study astrology scoffers are ridiculous.

When entertaining their unnecessary theories on arroyo to well-nigh-written report star divination, they include crap

Discover as well that the scoffer approached it burdened by assumptions nearly theory or cause that are not necessarily true: That planets "control" or "influence." I take never believed they command or influence, and yet I am an astrologer. Rather, they correlate, in a synchronous universe in which all things are related because all perceivables are the holding of a perceiver. Or nosotros could say everything is continued because everything arises spontaneously from one divine source.

A farmer may take noticed that the deer come up downwards into a sure meadow of his about a week earlier a frost. He notices that the deer are down in the meadow, and then he figures a frost will be coming soon. Is it considering he believes the deer "cause" the frost? No. He just knows everything is connected. There is no demand to approach the study of astrology with a theory of "how it could work" whatsoever more than the scientist needed to have concluding explanation-in-mitt before studying the lizard.

The same farmer may watch the befouled swallows swoop low on a summer evening and reckon information technology volition pelting past sunrise, based on past experience. Is it considering he believes the Barn Swallows cause it to rain? No, again, he simply knows things are continued. Astrology works considering everything is connected. Your dreams at nighttime have everything to do with you, because you are the dreamer. Likewise in the waking dream of a fabric cosmos y'all too find yourself (your life shown in astrological charts, etc.) -- considering these projections -- skies, earth, and "charts" -- are besides just yourself.

The existent claim of astrology is that in that location is correlation between microcosm and macrocosm. Not that planets are causative. If a fellow actually wanted to study astrology as a phenomenon he would run into if it's truthful.

How to truly study astrology

To best written report astrology, one watches life while likewise watching the astrological positions, without preconceptions. As with all other studies, there is also no need to take a logical theory most "how" or "why" information technology could be true. It is only needful to report the miracle in itself. I would recommend these steps:

-- Meet 50 people who have their natal Saturns in square, opposition, or conjunction to your natal moon and observe what your interactions are like.

-- Watch the transit of Mars squaring your natal moon at least 4 times (over years) and journal about what goes on then.

-- Find the hours when transiting Moon "hits" your natal Saturn. Practise this for a few years. Exercise this and observe what takes place in 6 realms: ane) What you remember, 2) Sensations in the body, 3) What you hear, see, or discover, 4) What you experience like doing but don't do, v) What actions you do take, and half dozen) What happens. (Note: Nitwits always focus exclusively on this last of 6 fields of astrological phenomena, exclusively.)

-- Take all the times you were stopped by a traffic cop (given a ticket, etc.) and note what the planets are doing both in the heaven and in your natal chart. (Similar examples are endless: The times yous come across a pretty adult female, the times you lot cutting yourself or take a physical blow, the times you run into people in wheelchairs, etc.)

I know that astrology is a true phenomenon because I have watched it daily for 30 years. But it'southward more subtle, and more than deep, than the typical scoffer wants to allow for. Ane of my working theories for how it works is that all arises spontaneously from one divine source, thus all is continued. Planets correlate, in a synchronous universe. You lot crusade the planets; looking at them is looking into a mirror. These theories of how/why are very unlike than the theories with which skeptics typically encumber themselves equally they scoff without bodily study.

Astrology is a lot like this:

Two jungle dwellers come up out of the jungle and see their showtime puddle of still water. The get-go jungle dweller gazes into information technology and sees a being there. Just then the existence moves its arm. At the very same fourth dimension, the jungle dweller notices that he, himself, moved his arm. He says, "That existence in the water made me motility my arm."

The 2d jungle dweller, gazing at an image in the h2o, and seeing its movements respective with his, says: "Maybe that is just me." Astrology'due south the same mode. The planets are just a mirror. They don't cause you lot; you cause them.

And yet information technology is more subtle than that, because look at the half-dozen areas I listed above. What one does in the earlier stages (thought, body feelings) has influence in what happens in the afterwards fields (things done/things happening). For instance, simply beingness a good observer -- which well-nigh people are not -- of small things (particular 3) "satisfies" a corking bargain of astrological movement, and can modify the outcomes in 4, v, and 6. (Noticing the beggar on the street vs. non noticing them.)

Astrology is profounder than what average minds are prepared for, and most critics approach it 1) with no actual study, and 2) simulated bounds about it.

The Half dozen Levels on a Trip to Los Angeles

I mentioned that worldly life happens in at least 6 levels, and that astrology too plays out in the same six levels. Permit'due south review them:

1) What you call up; what comes into the mind,
2) Sensations in the torso (noticed and unnoticed),
3) What yous hear, run into, or notice,
four) Actions you feel like taking, or think of doing, simply don't do,
v) What deportment you do take
6) Events. Things that happen or arise on their own, whether in the course of taking action or non.

Permit's have a sit-in:

A adult female is driving to Los Angeles from Ventura, California for a niggling concern meeting. At this time transiting Mercury is in an opposition to her natal Saturn. She has studied your life, watched her transits, and made many notes of past events and astrological positions. She knows that breakdowns, accidents, or cop events are often associated with transits to her Natal Saturn. She has figured this out by observation. Maybe she has noticed that the moon is usually in some aspect to Saturn, as well. And this is one of those times.

Permit's say that what she wants in the 6th realm, of happenings, is only to make it in LA without incident. She don't want any sixth realm outcomes except rubber arrival.

Already the planetary phenomena are playing out in the 6 areas. Already at that place is a Number v -- she is taking at action. She has an obligation to go to this business organisation meeting with a potential client. (Obligations oftentimes ascend during hard transits to the natal Saturn.)

At this time she may feel a discomfort in your body equally she drives. Mayhap an crawling. Perhaps the peel of her dorsum is crimped against the seat behind her for a moment. This was the transit at number ii. If she is unaware of it and ignores information technology, the transit has to proceed evolving and manifesting in the other levels. Instead she is aware of information technology, but decides to terminate it. I would exercise the shamanic flim-flam of letting the itch remain -- if I knew I was driving nether hard transits. But she shifts in her automobile and she scratches her itch. No more pain. Now the Mercury-Saturn opposition is 'looking' for something else to do, some other way to hit her.

Cosmic Karma-Busting Tip of the Millennium:

Allowing transits to "work out" on one's body is the best mode to mitigate them, flatten them out, deflate them, or even impale them.

At this fourth dimension for some reason ane of her former jobs comes into her mind. She was fired from that job. She thinks of the people involved, the dominate who fired her, and relives information technology a little. She processes on it and gets new understanding of that event. This is the transit manifesting at Level One, the level of idea. This was very good for her trip and a good thing to call up about at this time. Simply it is unpleasant, and then she turns on the radio to forget those memories and change her mood. The song that'south on is one she doesn't like. It reminds her of a bad time in hither life. She goes searching for one she likes. Information technology is difficult! She turns off the radio.

She should have left it on. Radios, TV, music, and media are great ways to let transits express. The bad song was simply her transit. Then was the thought about the old chore and the firing. Had she left the radio on she would have heard more songs she disliked, and likely some nasty news, or a talk radio conversation that was negative and unpleasant. This would have been good, but she wanted to avoid and end upward the transit at Level three. (Things seen and heard.)

Now there are some people broken down past the side of the road. A woman is standing in that location and a beau is downwardly on his knees in a busy place trying to jack up their machine. This is her transit manifesting at level three.

Only she only barely notices them. She doesn't give them much mind. In fact she could exercise major "noticing" -- even ponder each situation for a while. But she don't even pay attention to them. This was the Mercury-opposition-Saturn manifesting at Level 3, Things Noticed and Seen, only she didn't make use of it. If she had really noticed, registered and pondered the broken-down people and their car, it would have given her a great bargain of protection.

As she passes the exit to Coldwater Coulee she call back information technology would exist fun to pull off and get a fruit smoothie at that favorite smoothie place she likes, next to Whole Foods. This is the transit at Level 5 -- deportment you feel similar taking. (Under the transits to Saturn people feel negativity and hurting, fifty-fifty subconsciously, and instinctively want to go toward some kind of pleasure.) Had she gone there, associated with the transit she would have likely had some thwarting, such as the store being closed, a server being rude, or her smoothie not shine. That is, with some luck. It's as if in that location are lawful times to have fun, and times when Saturn "doesn't want" y'all to accept fun. (To use linguistic communication creatively.) Only instead, she decides to be ascetic and pass up that temptation. This was good. Had she had fun with the smoothie stop Saturn would have had to, as it were, slap her harder somehow on this trip.

At this point by foregoing that desire she was feeling, she is outset to give "satisfaction" to the transit. She is suffering considering she did non have that action. In other cases a transit becomes satisfied considering y'all do have an action, maybe one you don't enjoy or one y'all exercise enjoy.

Now she gets to her location in Santa Monica and it's hard to detect a parking space. This would exist typical for the transit. (Consignment: Log all the times it's hard to get a parking space; look at the moon transit etc.) Somebody parks sloppy just earlier she gets there. The adult female even takes upwards two spaces. She has to spend extra time looking for a parking spot and park at a greater distance away. Rolling up the windows, the handle breaks off in her hand. Getting out of the car, our commuter catches a screw on her runner and it makes a tear in ane of her favorite skirts. As she heads downwards the sidewalk an unpleasant looking street person approaches her. He, besides, is her transit. He says lewd things. She ends up 20 minutes belatedly to the business meeting and embarrassed.

These items are Level half-dozen items now. The parking problem, the tear, the street person, and the late arrival are all part of "things happening" at level six.

Predicting these are things that the astrological skeptic tends to focus on as being the goal of astrology. However, they are modified (fifty-fifty controlled) by what's done or not done in the other levels.

All that is required is that the transit (Mercury-opposing- Saturn) be "satisfied." Had the driver looked at some of the people broken down forth the route, on her trip, outcomes at level 6 would have been dissimilar. Had she noticed her itch or bodily discomfort, and peculiarly allowed it to remain without trying to get comfort, it would have modified the level 6 outcome all the more. Had she indulged in pleasance during this transit (Level 4) and found a great Smoothie Shop, it is probable that the upshot at level half-dozen, because the foregoing pleasure was opposite to the transit, would accept been grosser. For example, she may have a Level vi outcome such as a traffic cop pullover, or a trivial crash-land in the parking lot, or a malfunction of the motorcar. Her austerity in non going to the Smoothie Store forth the way protected her.

What the individual does at Level 2 and iii are powerful modifiers of what can happen at levels 4, 5 and 6. An itch left unscratched, or a pebble left in the shoe, are powerful satisfiers of certain kinds of adverse transits, for example. Along the way, this adult female could have fabricated fifty-fifty greater use of Level three -- the noticing of things seen and heard. She didn't pay attention, but there were iii broken downwards cars along the way she could accept "taken in." Had she pulled over at a convenient spot to offer assist to a safe looking person, it would accept given further satisfaction to the transit. In that location was a cop over on the left oncoming freeway who had pulled over a speeder. He was her transit. She didn't notice this. She could take besides turned on the radio and been treated to some Talk Radio that was very unpleasant, upsetting or crude. That would take been her transit expressing, also. But she unwisely left her radio off. There were also some unpleasant persons she could have noticed in cars, some with monster hair, some hitting their kids, a woman with a tattoo on her face, plus a guy with his radio cranked up really loud with a vocal that she dislikes. However, she didn't do the wise things and notice any these things. (Received the transit at Level 3.) Had she done and then, it is likely (and this based on my feel) that she would not had the parking difficulty, or torn 1 of her favorite skirts, broken the window handle, or been tardily.

One can receive and satisfy all astrological transits at the level of mind, at the level of sensations in the body, and at the level of things seen and heard. What manifests at Level vi (Events that happen) depends on what is washed and not washed, noticed and not noticed, at the other levels.

When you go to sleep, all transit phenomena associated with the world immediately dissolves. You master everything, taking downward the unabridged circus tent. Likewise, when yous sit in one spot and meditate you reduce the grossness of 'astrological manifestation' (life manifestation) greatly. Action itself expands astrological manifestation. Non-action mitigates it and flattens it out. Allow's say you liked to walk through a grove of willow trees on your way home from school. One day you started down the grove and there was pollen on all the hanging fronds. If you will stop there, y'all will get no pollen on you. It'south only as you move forwards (human activity) into the willow grove that you get the pollen all over you. Likewise, it'south when you have activeness during various transits that y'all "get the transit all over y'all." Action makes the transit potential aggrandize, just similar her trip to LA. Had she spent the mean solar day knitting and watching Tv, she would non have torn her dress, encountered an unpleasant beggar, or insulted her client past being belatedly. Other things would accept happened, but with less action probable would have been less dramatic. Astrological potential expands with activity.

In my astrological practice I've had times like this: A client says: "I take to take this difficult trip, this Thursday. I have to be on time. I can't have any bad traffic, hassles, or troubles. Is it a good time?" And looking at it, it may exist a bad travel fourth dimension. And then what practice I tell them? I say:

-- Play the radio while you lot bulldoze. When songs you don't like come no, LEAVE THEM playing.
-- Try to find a talk radio testify. You will probably find the content and language distressing. Leave it on.
-- Y'all volition probably see people cleaved down along the style, or people stopped by the cops. When you come across them, notice everything almost the situation. Think near like times in your life, or other stories like that you've heard (friends and family). Write novels in your head, while driving, about "breaking downwardly" or "stopped past cops." Mentally explore those ideas.
-- Don't try to have fun along the way, or echo pleasures from the by. If yous are hungry, try to stay hungry.
-- Discomforts volition arise while driving. If y'all can bear a few of them, choose to "allow" them rather than trying to make yourself perfectly comfortable.
-- Negative memories may come into your mind. Explore those memories and thoughts.
-- Take special precautions before the trip, things you might non commonly do. Like, check the water level and oil. Do it yourself. Get dirty doing information technology. (Note: It'due south the hassling over these "circumspection" activities that gives the protection and pleases Saturn, no so much the things themselves.)

By doing these things during that trip, I say to the client, he/she is likely to go in that location without incident.

Because astrological phenomena play out in these 6 realms, and because astrological positions at any given moment are ones that accept never occurred before in history, nobody tin can predict exactly what volition happen. And such prediction is not astrology's purpose.

But you can get to know the typical phenomena that have place during, for example, any transit such equally Moon-quincunx-Natal Saturn. It will And to do so is interesting, makes life more fun as well as more than in your control, and gives a lot of protection, agreement, and peace.
