Aquarius is the sign of astrology and in the Age of Aquarius everyone has some awareness of the zodiac signs. This can spark a deeper interest and some people are motivated to study astrology and learn how to assess a birth chart.
Hermetic astrology labels the popular astrology that’s commonly available fortune-telling. It’s not scientific and its millions of practitioners use charts as divinatory instruments, discerning information according to ancient beliefs and applying their psychic faculties.
Hermetic astrology is not fortune-telling. It’s a body of astrological facts acquired through observation and statistical analysis which means it can be labeled scientific. And as the data is applied to individual birth charts it’s a self-science.
You can apply the science – not unsubstantiated beliefs – to your birth chart to learn about yourself without relying on your feelings or psychic impressions.
Due to the expertise and work involved in assessing a chart Hermetic astrology is unsuitable for public practice. And those who acquire a shallow understanding of the science and practice it publicly as a Hermetic astrologer are not only fortune-tellers but frauds who aren’t doing what they claim.
Astrology for Aquarius presents the science of Hermetic astrology and provides guidance for those wishing to apply the science to their own charts.
Your birth chart is a self-information provider and Astrology for Aquarius is here to help you assess your chart and to learn about yourself.
It’s an inspiring personal journey that requires patience, ingenuity, occult insight and intrapersonal intelligence and your birth chart reveals what you’ve got to work with as you call on personal resources to unravel the mystery that is you.
Mercury in your chart depicts your not-conscious intellectual urge and your tendency to learn, study and engage in deductive reasoning and only you know if your intellectual thought-cells express a desire to study and reason.
But to have an interest in astrology and a desire to assess your own birth chart requires more than active intellectual – Mercury – thought-cells. It requires a unique type of intelligence that’s grounded in the upper octave planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Uranus rules the occult sciences, in particular astrology, and if you have an interest in astrology, it could be due to the activity of the group of thought-cells in your unconscious soul-mind mapped by Uranus in your birth chart.
Uranus
If you have a serious interest in Hermetic astrology and the science of the soul and stars it’s likely you have an unusually active individualistic urge mapped by a prominent Uranus in your birth chart or Uranus forming a high-powered aspect (thought-compound) with the Sun, Moon or Mercury.
Uranus expresses occult insight, unusual ingenuity and intuitive inspiration. It gives the ability to apply evidence-based data using a scientific procedure and enables you to understand astro-science and the rules.
If Uranus is not prominent a Uranus progression can temporarily stimulate your interest but when it ends and another strong progression comes along your life could well head off in another direction.
With an understanding of the skills your Uranus thought-cells are naturally inclined to express you have something to focus on and develop.
You can also have an interest in astrology that’s inspired by Neptune. It rules the fortune-telling type astrology that’s so popular; but it’s not scientific and you’ll be very inclined to use extrasensory perception when discerning chart data rather than ingenuity and occult insight.
Neptune
Neptune is the psychic planet. It gets information the easy way by using its psychic faculties and gives the ability to assess chart data psychically. And if Neptune is prominent in your birth chart you can have a strong interest in astrology and all things weird and mystical but may not have the diligence to learn the science of astrology or the capacity to understand it.
You’ll acquire astrological beliefs but when making chart judgements you’ll rely on astrological symbols to trigger psychic impressions that may or may not be reliable; and discerning chart data that is not astrologically revealed definitely points to the use of extrasensory perception. In each instance you’re not obtaining chart data astrologically: You’re obtaining it psychically.
It’s unlikely you have the ability to calculate a birth chart but this inadequacy has been overcome by computer programs that calculate charts. Without Aquarian Age technology you’d be left with mystical Sun-sign astrology.
Neptune is the planet of psychic perception gained through negative sensitivity of the nervous system to inner-plane vibrations. It indicates your potential to use negative extrasensory perception.
It’s what fortune-tellers use and do. Their Neptune thought-cells perceive images in higher than speed of light realms of vibration and bring them through into objective consciousness via the aerial structure in their astral bodies mapped by Neptune in their birth charts.
If Neptune is prominent in your chart the negative state of your nervous system picks up, radio fashion, astral impressions, but what you can receive depends largely on the aerial (aspect) structure of Neptune in your astral body.
Harmonious aspects to Neptune inclined towards accurate sensory impressions and discordant aspects tend to distort and exaggerate the psychic images according to the nature of the afflicting planets.
If it’s not Uranus or Neptune stimulating your interest in astrology it could be Pluto. It gives an interest in all types of invisible energies including those being received from the planets.
Pluto
If Pluto is prominent in your birth chart you can have an interest in astrology and a natural capacity to understand how the energies transmitted by the planets operate and what can be expected from them.
You could have an understanding of inner-plane forces and boundary-line energies like electromagnetic energy which permit the exchange of motions between the high-speed astral and low speed physical world.
Pluto rules the inside of things and the inner-astral-plane. It gives the capacity to understand how thought-cells operate below the surface of objective consciousness.
It gives the capacity to develop and consciously direct intellectual ESP. It’s through your Pluto thought-cells that you receive and transmit messages to intelligences on the inner-astral-plane.
Pluto is the planet of universal welfare and if Pluto is prominent in your birth chart you can sense that the universe is an organic whole whose welfare and progress depends on the intelligent cooperation of its infinitely varied parts.
Your soul has its own specialized function to perform in the divine economy, and should be developing the qualities which enable it to perform its special job more effectively. That is the true significance of your human life.
If Pluto is harmonious, you’re inclined to use inner-plane forces and energies for the good of society. You’ll have an interest in your personal welfare as you contribute to the welfare of others.
And because birth chart data must be validated with real-life personal experience you need intrapersonal intelligence. It’s all about self-awareness and you observing and making judgments regarding your own behavior responses.
Hermetic astrology
With an understanding of the function and purpose of Hermetic astrology you can assess your birth chart with the intention of applying its knowledge to guide your life and endeavors in order to reach your full potential.
You should apply chart data when considering career moves, marriage/partnership, your health and mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. You should use your chart in conjunction with your life and living.
This will require the establishment of a practical astrology habit system.
Your chart will also reveal if you have a special talent in regard to astrology like teaching or promoting it.
To self-study effectively and acquire high-level self-understanding requires the development of an internal focus and intrapersonal intelligence.
To self-examine effectively you have to develop your self-examination skills. You have immediate, easy access to your mental world and your self-examination skills allow you to assess the functional status of your intentions and actions by matching your behavior with outcomes.
Your self-study behavior is something you can continually develop and improve.
A strong interest in yourself can launch a search for self-understanding. With no interest there’s no desire and no action. Where you end up is determined by your character and the information that’s provided by your environment which includes the science of the soul and stars aka Hermetic astrology.
If you have an interest in astrology look to Uranus and Neptune in your birth chart. If either is prominent their corresponding thought-cells in your unconscious soul-mind aka astral body are active and can stimulate an interest in the science of the soul and stars.
You’re relying on your Pluto thought-cells to understand the inner-plane astrological energies and how they operate in your life.
