Your soul makes its best progress through cooperating with God’s Great Plan and striving to assist in its realization. And to do this it needs to use its capacities and energies constructively.
Successful organizations are composed of individuals who perform different functions. Every employee is trained to perform the particular work they do.
Specialization, division of labor, and cooperation between parts which perform different functions is the very foundation of a business enterprise’s success. And it is logical to conclude that the cosmos operates in a somewhat similar manner.
So, your soul, as a cosmic worker, was differentiated to perform a special work and is being trained to perform the type of work for which it was brought into existence.
When the astrological currents, which constitute the inner-plane weather, coincide with its thought-cell organization each important thought-cell group gains new energy (from these currents) and their psychokinetic power correspondingly increases. And this non-physical power, which is capable of moving physical objects and bringing about physical conditions, enabled you to be born at that moment.
The astrological positions at the moment of your birth are an accurate map of the power of each group of thought-cells, and their organization, within your soul.
As your soul is being trained to perform a given function in the cosmic scheme, its natural aptitudes when born into human form, and its general characteristics, indicate the schooling it has had in its evolutionary past.
And this in turn gives knowledge of the type of ability and characteristics it is being trained to use – on planes and in ways that are beyond human comprehension – in its eternal progression after life on Earth is done.
A planet’s power is measured by its astrodynes and those with the most astrodynes map thought-cells with the greatest amount of psychokinetic power.
And Church of Light statistical research has conclusively demonstrated that the most powerful planet in your birth chart indicate the natural aptitudes that you can most easily develop into your greatest ability.
Your next most powerful planet maps the type of natural aptitudes that can be developed next most easily into your next greatest ability.
The most powerful planet in your chart, quite aside from its harmony or discord, indicates the chief type of ability your soul is being trained to use in the cosmic plan, and the chief type of ability you can use while on Earth to most benefit yourself and humanity.
You should not only use this special type of ability constructively but in association with physical conditions which add to the psychokinetic power of a group of thought-cells which are harmonious as mapped by a planet with a high number of harmodynes.
Luck is not fortuitous. Your good and bad breaks are the result of thought-cells in your finer-astral-form which are harmonious and using their psychokinetic power to bring fortunate events into your life, or of discordant thought-cells using their psychokinetic power to bring misfortune.
The material and spiritual teachings of Hermetic astrology give instructions on how to change the desires of the discordant thought-cells so that instead of using their psychokinetic power to bring misfortune they will use it to attract good fortune. The fortunate individual can do more for themself and more to benefit humanity.
Furthermore, the spiritual teachings of astrology instruct you on how the best characteristics of each sign and planet can be used constructively.
It is impossible to divert Mars energies to express Saturn attributes, or to cause Aries characteristics to express in a manner characteristic of Libra. But a destructive Mars energy can easily be diverted into constructive Mars channels, and a destructive Aries characteristic can, with a minimum of effort, be diverted to express a constructive Aries characteristic.
The spiritual teachings of astrology instruct you on how to raise your dominant vibratory rate and thus increase your spirituality. They teach you how to re-organize your thought-cell organization harmoniously, how to choose the special field of information you should seek and how to select the type of know-how you should develop. And they teach that all your thoughts and actions should be constructive and have as their objective universal welfare.
Spiritual teachings by sign and planet
Birth chart data and self-knowledge allow you to determine your dominant sign and planet and each provides crucial information regarding your spiritual development.
Aries: Your worst quality is officiousness. Your desire for leadership causes you to interfere in the affairs of others when you should not. You should learn, therefore, instead of diffusing your energy, to concentrate your powers of leadership to the chosen field of your endeavor. When you do this, you transmute your discordant tendencies. Your best quality is leadership in which your enthusiasm and optimism encourage others to maximum effort.
Taurus: Your worst quality is obstinacy. You should therefore early form the habit of being steadfast toward truth and justice. When this attitude is entrenched it will not be difficult for you to give way to smaller things. Such yielding develops your best quality of stability where you are reliable, efficient and steadfast in all your pursuits.
Gemini: Your worst quality is changeableness. You often talk too much. You can do any number of things well, but instead of changing occupations you should change your methods in the one you have chosen. In this manner you accentuate your best quality of versatility, where your active intellect channeled in one direction makes great strides.
Cancer: Your worst quality is touchiness. So, early on, you should absorb the idea that people in general are sympathetic and friendly, and those who are otherwise aren’t worth bothering about. Then you won’t refuse opportunities when they arise. And in seizing these opportunities you develop your best quality of tenacity, devoting all your emotional energy to those people and opportunities you care so much about.
Leo: Your worst quality is domination.

Virgo: Your worst quality is criticism. To be at your best you should early realize that it takes just as keen discrimination to find the good points in people and in things as to find those objectionable, and that this information is even more profitable when applied.

Scorpio: Your worst quality is troublesomeness. You should early realize that your advantage is in concentrating your energies on the solution of your own problems, and in overcoming the obstacles to your success, rather than in insisting upon the proper conduct of others. When you do this your ingenuity turns into your best quality of resourcefulness found in the fund of inexhaustible plans and ideas you possess.
Sagittarius: Your worst quality is sportiveness. You live at your best when you have found a work that is so interesting that it becomes a game in which success is the hazard. Having found such a pleasurable pursuit, you will devote all your loyalty, your best quality, to this work with cheerfulness and straightforward actions.
Capricorn: Your worst quality is deceitfulness. You should early realize that the greatest advantage any person can have is integrity of character and devotion to the welfare of others.

When putting theory into practice with your interest and understanding of human nature your best quality of altruism becomes pronounced.
Pisces: Your worst quality is worry. You are at your best when working in the spirit of universal brotherhood.

With better service, your best quality of rulership gets full sway. You get full charge of your department through your ability to get the consideration of others.
Moon: Your worst quality is inconstancy.

By persisting, your ever-changing moods and curiosity give you your best quality of adaptability.
Mercury: Your worst quality is restlessness. You should learn from the fable of the tortoise and the hare, that the race is not always to the swift. Also, that the highest form of expression for your mentality can only be attained through protracted concentration. When you learn this, the maximum ability of your expression can be developed through writing, talking and travelling.
Venus: Your worst quality is pliancy. You are entirely too desirous of pleasing others and in finding the line of least resistance. You should early realize that you more often truly please others when you assert strength of character. Pleasing others allows for the better expression of your best quality of affection by providing better opportunity for companionship.
Mars: Your worst quality is harshness. You should early realize that there is greater satisfaction in building up than in tearing down, and that undue severity and antagonizing others hinders constructive enterprise.

With your energies channeled they’ll yield an abundance of initiative, your best quality.
Jupiter: Your worst quality is conceit. You should early realize that Deity permits others to have correct opinions, and that true charity demands that you give them due consideration. When allowing others the right to opinion you develop your best quality of benevolence with your jovial mood.
Saturn: Yours worst quality is selfishness. You will abandon trickery when you realize that honesty is the best policy. Your energies should be devoted to efficiency, system and organization that benefit others as well as yourself. Then, your best quality of system makes shrewd business sense which ends up benefiting all concerned.
Uranus: Your worst quality is eccentricity. You should early learn that conventional action and moderate views in most things will enable you to better impress others of the sanity of essential reform. Then, having convinced others of the necessity of reform you can exercise your best quality of originality to accomplish goals in the greatest manner.
Neptune: Your worst quality is vagueness. You dislike the mental labor of critical analysis. You should early learn that the only valuable Ideals are those which can be made practical. When practicably oriented your dramatic imagination provides the best means to accomplish the goals that your best quality of idealism bring.
Pluto: You worst quality in inversion. You are never milk and water in what you do, and if occasion demands you don’t hesitate to use violence. Instead of using coercion, you should early learn how to cooperate with others for purposes that are beneficial to humanity. This cooperation tunes you in on your common goal and thoughts of giving elevate to your best quality of spirituality.
If you permit your unconscious desires to remain in the same state as indicated by your birth chart, merely feeding them and making each stronger in its harmony or discord, you’re drifting with the tide.
And when you permit the planets and environment, either physical or mental, to stimulate your existing thought-compounds at different times into greater activity, without doing something about it, you’re not using the prerogative possessed by all human beings to decide and control your own destiny.
Once you realize that you alone are responsible for your character and the kind of individual you will become in the future you will constantly work to overcome the defects in your mental organisation or character.
You’ll realise that what you make of your life is entirely up to you.
