Zodiac Symbol Sitemap

1. QUICKENING SPIRIT - There has been for some time a call for a volume, simple and explanatory in style, that shall give the rudiments of what is termed Occult Science. Occult Law is simply unrevealed natural law; hidden, because until recently the world has been entirely satisfied with things as they seemed, with the external and superficial. There are many involved and expensive books dealing with this most interesting, instructive, and fascinating subject, but because they are prepared for those who have had previous instruction, they are not adapted to the needs of the thousands of people who are for the first time touched by the wing of the spirit of knowledge that now seems to be brooding and descending upon the earth.

2. Q & A - The age of Interrogation has been a long one. "We have now come to the period of Response. Time will reveal every truth to posterity."

Questions imply answers. Every Why holds a Because. That answers are long in coming does not prove that there are no answers. The little child demands reasons for things which his elders cannot give him. But the fact that the child is able to formulate these questions shows conclusively that the answers are not only in existence, but that he, as the seeker for this knowledge, will some time be able to answer them for himself.

3. DISEASE - Perhaps there is no term in use by metaphysicians that provokes so much ridicule from those not in sympathy with the science of mind as THE RACE THOUGHT. TO be told in a time of suffering, when the immediate cause is not apparent, that the unhappy conditions are attributable to the thought of disease abroad in the world is to most people a confession of weakness on the part of these philosophers and healers.

4. DEVELOPMENT - The threefold division of man's constitution, as illustrated in the twelve signs of the Zodiac, has long been known as triune in its nature, such as spirit, soul, and body, correspondential in their relationship of father, mother, and son, and, according to the Hermetic philosophers, objective, subjective, and passive, or sleeping-the state of inertia.

5. A WARNING - The alleged influence of some of the signs is certainly more powerful and more difficult to overcome than others. Signs that are governed by the Sun and Saturn are particularly hard, but right here let it be emphatically stated that neither Zodiacal Signs nor planets have the slightest power over the spiritualized man or woman, spirit being absolute over all matter. The stars may influence us, but God rules the stars, and when man recognizes God in himself, he can be dominated no longer by anything apart from God.

6. MARRIAGE - If the people born in these domains- Fire, Earth, Air, and Water-do really embody the qualities of their triplicities, it must be plain to the thoughtful student that the cause of many an unhappy marriage can be traced to the attempted union of uncongenial elements. This has always been ascribed as a reason, though until recently very vague notions have been held in regard to the causes of such uncongeniality.

7. RAM HEAD - This is the head sign of the Grand Man, or Microcosm.

19. EXPLANATION - In the application to our friends and acquaintances of the traits of character as expressed in the signs of the Zodiac, we shall occasionally be confronted with some one born perhaps squarely under a sign who does not appear to possess the qualities which belong to it. Perhaps the person will utterly disclaim the characteristics, especially the faults. This is not an uncommon occurrence, because the individual who is willing to admit his moral and spiritual overdoings and shortcomings is still rare enough to be called an anomaly.
