The need to develop a new astrology system

These discoveries where required in order for me to create a new astrology system: Uranus 1781, Neptune 1846, and Galactic Center 1954. Also I did need to use a computer and the internet to do the complex research required to develop this new astrology system, something that ancients astrologers did not have access to!

Ancient astrology was developed in an age in which they did not really understand what the stars represented or about the different Galaxies that also existed! They just drew figures in the sky not knowing that these figures would move over time away from their alignment with the seasons. 2 competing astrology sign systems developed as a result of this: The original Tropical system(aligned with seasons) and the sidereal system(aligned with figures drawn on sky that have moved over time). Both systems have a lot of strong believers in them.

My astrology system does not use signs at all since I could not find a logical way to set them up and use a system of 4 as a very solid foundation for my system. My system actually involves 4×6 or 24 to complete it with 12 core characters involved( Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Midheaven, Nadir, Sun, and Galactic Center. I have a blog post that covers the very complex spiritually focused astrology system that I have developed over a period of over 4 decades using an awful lot of trial and error and logical thinking along with intuition developed from the spiritual training system I also developed during that same period. This is a link to my astrology system formula which is very complex as new discoveries in this modern age tend to be:

My Astrology System Formula

Updated: 8May24, 8:44AM I use 6 levels of the chart set up based on certain times before spiritual birth which is when the spirit enters/incarnates into the body which I believe happens in a time period of up to a half hour before or after physical birth. I use 4 aspects to these characters: to the Moon as positioned by its exact aspect to the Midheaven before spiritual birth, to Jupiter as positioned by its exact aspect to the Midheaven before spiritual birth, to the Midheaven and Nadir as positioned by the exact aspect to the Galactic Center before Spiritual birth, and to the Sun as positioned by its exact aspect to the Nadir before spiritual birth. These aspects I use for example represent the 4 phases of the Moon in regards to the aspects between the Sun and Moon. The aspects I use are: The conjunction (00 degrees)which is ruled by fire, the opening square (90 degrees)which is ruled by earth, the opposition (180 degrees)which is ruled by air and the closing square (270 degrees)which is ruled by water. The aspect orb for any inexact aspects involving Jupiter and Moon=15 degrees (1/3 of 45 degrees); an inexact aspect orb otherwise =7.5 degrees (1/6 of 45 degrees) for non exact aspects. The inexact aspects try to seek expression through the rulers of the exact aspects that set up the 6 levels of the chart.   Aspects deal with the area that the characters(Sun, Moon, Galactic Center, Midheaven, Nadir and planets)direct their energy into. Fire and Earth are male, and Earth and Water are female. Good to have spiritual connections with opposite sex to help balance one’s energy..

The time of the first level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before (spiritual) birth between the Moon(personal water) and the Midheaven (universal Earth). This is the inner personal/individual (intimate)level and its set up is dominated by the Moon (individual personal Water).  The individual/personal type characters that play an important role on this level are Mars(individual/personal fire), Venus(individual/personal earth), Mercury(individual/personal air), and the Moon (individual/personal  water). These characters rule the following aspects: The Mars rules the conjunction aspect of the Moon to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal fire), Venus rules the opening square aspect of the Moon to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal earth), The Mercury rules the opposition aspect of the Moon to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal air), and the Moon rules the closing square aspect of the Moon itself to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal water). The ruler of this level of the chart is the personal character that rules the exact aspect of the Moon to the Midheaven before spiritual birth that sets up this level of the chart. The Moon’s position is determined by the time of this exact aspect it has to the Midheaven after spiritual birth..

The time of the second level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect(opening square, opposition, closing square and conjunction) before (spiritual) birth between Jupiter(outer purposeful/group fire) and the Midheaven (universal earth). This level is the outer individual(purposeful)level and its set up is dominated by the Jupiter(outward purposeful/group Fire). This outer level tend to relate with unique groups they can identify with. The characters that are directed outwardly and play an important part on this level are:  Jupiter(outer purposeful/group fire), Saturn(outer purposeful/group earth), Uranus(outer purposeful/group air), and Neptune(outer individual water).  These characters rule the following aspects:  Jupiter rules the conjunction aspect of Jupiter itself to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Fire), Saturn rules the opening square aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Earth), Uranus rules the opposition aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Air), and Neptune rules the closing aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Water).  The ruler of this level of the chart is the purposeful character that rules the exact aspect between Jupiter and the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart.  Jupiter itself has only one of the above aspects that counts for it and that is its exact aspect to the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart. Jupiter’s position is determined by the time of this exact aspect to the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the third level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before (spiritual) birth between the Galactic Center and the Midheaven. This is the universal physical(work) level needed in a concrete physical world that can be quite challenging and its setup is dominated by the Midheaven (universal earth). The universal characters that play an important part on this physical level are the Galactic Center(universal Fire), The Midheaven (universal earth), the Nadir(universal Air), and the Sun(universal Water). These characters rule the following aspects: The Galactic Center rules the conjunction aspect of the Midheaven to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is universal Fire), The Midheaven rules opening square aspect of the Midheaven itself to the other characters (this aspect is universal Earth), The Nadir rules the opposition aspect of the Midheaven to the other characters(this aspect is universal Air) and the Sun rules the closing square aspect of the Midheaven to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is universal Water). The ruler of this level of the chart is the universal character that rules the exact aspect between the Galactic Center and the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart. The Midheaven’s position here is determined by it’s exact aspect to the Galactic Center that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the fourth level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before (spiritual) birth between the Galactic Center and the Nadir(universal air). This is the universal social level and its setup by the Nadir(universal air). This transformative realm is ruled by all 3 characters ruled by the element on the chart that correspond to the aspects to the Nadir as positioned by it’s exact aspect to Galactic Center that sets up this level of the chart.   These three characters will need to connect and cooperate with each other so as to gain strength as a unit. Fire rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the conjunction aspect of the Nadir to the other characters(this aspect is social fire)and is will connect you to all 3 Fire characters: Mars, Jupiter, and the Galactic Center.  Earth rulership on this level the chart is set up by the opening square aspect of the Nadir to the other characters(this aspect is social earth) and will connect you to all 3 characters Earth characters: Venus, Saturn, and the Midheaven. Air rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the opposition aspect of the Nadir to other characters(this aspect is social air)and will connect you to all 3 Air characters: Mercury, Uranus, and the Nadir. Water rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the closing square aspect of the Nadir to the other characters (this aspect is social water) and will connect you to all 3 Water characters: the Moon, Neptune, and the Sun. The ruler of this level of the chart are all the 3 characters on the chart of the same element as the exact aspect between the Galactic Center and the Nadir that sets up this level of the chart.  The position of the Nadir is determined by the exact aspect it has to the Galactic Center that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the fifth level of the chart is set by the last exact aspect before spiritual birth between the Nadir and the Sun. This externally  focused level of the chart is set up by the Sun that connects one with our complicated external spiritual  level of our reality and the general public that helps connects us with it.  The Sun(universal water) is the character that dominates the setting up of this level of the chart and helps spirits like us connect with and positively influence the universal spiritual field(that underlies all of our physical universe) provided we do what it takes to develop the spiritual strength and understanding to enable us to do so. Being locked in to certain beliefs or mythologies can harm ones ability to handle the all important reality we exist in right now. This level is dominated by the element of the aspects that the other characters make to the Sun as positioned by it exact as to the Nadir after Spiritual birth, and these aspects will connect you to all other aspect of similar element on the chart. You pick up these energies from others and the external environment provided they represent the energies of the proper ruling character(s). So, all fire/conjunction aspects on the chart will connect to any other fire aspects to the Sun on the chart, All earth/opening square aspects on the chart will connect to any other earth aspects to the Sun on the chart, All air/opposition aspects on the chart will connect to any other air aspects to the Sun on the chart. And all closing square/water aspects on the chart will connect you to any other water aspects to the Sun on the chart. These aspects to the Sun help the other aspects of the same element connect with the external world/universe. The position of the Sun is determined by it’s exact aspect to the Nadir that sets up the time of this level of the chart. The time of the chart is set up is determined by the time of the last aspect of the Sun to the Nadir happening before Spiritual birth.

The Sixth level of the chart through the Galactic Center (universal fire), the energy source of the chart, eventually passes it energy to all the aspects on the chart and creates unity and connectivity to the chart. The exact aspects to the Galactic Center that set up the third and fourth levels of the chart play an important role in setting up relationships with others through the Galactic Center. The 6th level of the chart is the relational center of the action of the chart will help connect the individual to the outside world through deep spiritual connections to other people through the elements that dominate it and to other people and their charts. The Galactic Center on ones own chart will automatically be connected to the rulers of the third and fourth levels of ones chart. The Galactic Center and the Sixth level of the chart is ruled by the element of the proper sex of the person that also rules either the third or fourth level of the chart. Fire and Earth are male while air and water are female. The inexact aspects from the Galactic Center to the other characters do count on this level of this chart. These exact and inexact aspects on the sixth level of the chart will set up a spiritual connection to the chart of others through the elements that rule them connecting to similar elements represented on all levels of the chart of the other person. This bonding happens two ways, since two charts are involved.

The strength of an elements(Fire, Earth, Air & Water) of a chart is determined by adding up the number of the different ruling elements of the exact aspects that rule the first six levels of the chart and then adding to this the total number of elements that represent the inexact aspects of the first six levels of the chart. Two way aspects count both ways that can happen between these four characters: Jupiter, the Galactic Center, Moon, and the Sun. You also can add up the strength of individual characters using the same formula for aspects specific to them.

The Galactic Center’s connection to the Nadir and Midheaven is important in connecting ones chart to that of others one connects to. This special connection of the Galactic Center to the third and fourth levels of the chart is giving extra importance on the chart. An automatic opposition(air aspect) happens between the Midheaven (universal Earth) and the Nadir (universal air) representing mental toughness and ones ability to be able to handle reality with a clear rational mind. The automatic connection between the Nadir(universal air)and the Sun(universal water) represents the very important connection between mind and spirit that requires the right universal spiritual programming in order to function extremely well in this challenging outside world we exist in. The automatic connection between the Midheaven(universal Earth) and both the Moon(personal/individual water) and Jupiter(group fire) represents the needs to be grounded in reality on the personal level so ones intuition will attract the right people to become intimate with and also how important it is to be well grounded in reality when determining what actions you will take with the help of others in order for you serve a useful purpose in this world one shares collective responsibility for.

All characters except the Midheaven, and the Nadir will have aspects (representing the 6 levels of the chart) directed at them. Also, the exact aspects that set up the 6 levels of the chart will influence both the characters they are connected to, despite being ruled by only one character or element as explained previously. The Nadir will only be impacted directly by the exact aspects that connects it to Sun, and the Galactic Center, while the Midheaven will only be impacted directly by the exact aspects that connects it with the Galactic Center, Moon, and Jupiter. These exact aspects are only ruled by the character(s) or element(level five and six)that rules the exact aspect to the character that sets up the level of the chart involved! The non exact aspects on the different levels of the chart affect only the characters they are directed at and have no direct impact on the character that sets up the level of the chart involved.

This system is based on intuition(assumptions), logic and sequences. The very basic assumption is the acceptance of the value of representing everything using the elements Fire(representing energy), Earth(representing form/matter), Air(representing intelligence), and Water(representing spirit/emotion).  These 4 elements have this sequence:  First comes Fire representing energy/purpose, creativity and the future in which so many possibilities exist.  Nothing can exist with out a future and purpose to exist.  When fire burns up all its energy hard resistant Earth is what is left.  Earth represents form and structure.  Form gives the necessary differentiation/diversity and substance/strength required to make our reality function well and hold together under stress.   When Earth burns up its energy only abstract Air remains.  Air represents intelligence which is required as part of our reality in order for advanced life forms to be able to evolve/exist.  Our reality is designed in a way that can really serve the needs of advanced life forms really well with really advanced ecosystems.  When Air burns up its energy then only dreamy, meditative,  quiet, visionary, intuitive, healing, spiritual Water remains. Water representing spirit(which is powered by emotion) brings individual, collective, and universal type  spirits into the mix..  The ultimate purpose of this universe/reality is to provide for the needs of the individual spirits that depend on it for their existence.  The whole universe exists as the result of the needs of the spirits that are part of it.  Without spirits and their needs nothing would exist.  When water burns up its energy which tends to slow oneself down and work at healing from past traumas, then Fire is free to start a new cycle with a new burst of creative energy.

These sequences represents how the various astrological characters get defined. 1. The sequence for the inner individual characters(all in the inner part of our solar system)starts with Mars(personal Fire), then Venus(personal Earth), then Mercury(personal Air) and ends with the Moon (personal water). 2. The next sequence is the one dealing with the outer individual characters. This sequence starts with Jupiter(Fire) and moves outward through Saturn(Earth), Uranus(Air), and finally ends with the furthest big planet Neptune(water). 3.  The final sequence is the one dealing with the universal characters.   It starts with the Galactic Center (Galactic Center=Universal Fire), then to the Midheaven (The Midheaven=Universal Earth), then to the Nadir (The Nadir=Universal Air), and then to the Sun(The Sun=Universal Water).

I do not use signs(for interpretation) or houses in this astrology system since I could not find a logical way to set them up, and found they were unnecessary.  Also there are two competing astrology sign systems that are incompatible with each other, but have a lot of believers in each(Sidereal and Tropical).  So that sort of make me believe that their effectiveness is based more on belief in them than on how well they actually work.  If an astrology system is overly complicated and can be used in a way to come up with many different interpretations, then someone will tend to find parts of the interpretation that will fit them.  Intuition can often come to the rescue of an astrologer and help them focus on the interpretations that fit best.  I developed a new astrology system because I found that when using a traditional astrology system that my intuition was often correcting for the inadequacies it had.  I also found out after being pushed to the very edge in 1992,  how important it is to have ones beliefs based on logic and direct experimentation and not on mythology.

Back in 1977, I let myself get really deeply into astrology which I knew inside me that once I allowed myself to emerge myself in it, I would find it really hard to ever detach myself from it. It takes extremely hard work over a very long time to achieve anything of real value in this world. I have been developing and perfecting this astrology system obviously for a very long time. I have really high spiritual standards, because I know through direct personal experience how much this world really badly needs a good tool(tuning devise)to help it advance to a higher spiritual level that will help it better cope with all the serious problems rooted in the spiritual that exist here.

It takes an awful lot of experimentation and trial and error(mostly error)in order to develop anything new. Innovation is never easy. Discovering more of the truth will come with some really challenging lessons a long the way! I hope to get the opportunity to test this new astrology system on some fresh people.
