This exploration is seen as a needed revisioning of certain techniques and interpretations of Western natal astrology while adding major new areas of interest in this ‘exo-planet era,’ featuring a derived astrological timing concept called Soul-Entry Time, based on the revelation that the incarnating soul determines its own imprint time of commitment to the anticipated forthcoming physical life experience independently but in relation to the traditional first-breath time. This usually occurs within the half-day preceding or following the recorded first-breath moment. The idea was originally presented to the author by channel sources Hilarion and consort Athena. The book Esoteric Astrology of Alice A. Bailey is also cited as inspiration on this wide-ranging update of both fundamentals and new ideas in astrology.
An interpreted context of brain-mind neurological research is offered as a rationale for understanding why the dualistic human mentality seen in brain lateralization would naturally be best characterized by a corresponding pair of astrology charts based on two fundamental timing moments of initialization near the time of birth, rather than only the traditional first-breath one. This then becomes the new spiritual adjunct—the “missing half” of traditional astrology. A small sample group of ten biographies with analysis of chart graphics is offered in conclusion as evidence to anchor and clarify the approach.
This analysis includes advocacy of a new house system called Power Ray Houses (perhaps most satisfying to anyone aware of the ‘Gauquelin enigma’), a new planetary ruler for Virgo (Ceres), the debris of the Asteroid Belt seen as the remains of an ancient destroyed planet (Malona, Phaeton) and the discovery of Astraea, a nearby brown dwarf star that is gravitationally coupled to our main Solar System—a previously unknown additional modulation of the very important and somewhat mysterious Precession of the Equinoxes. Astraea, about eight times the mass of Jupiter, is a major factor for more accurately determining the precession cycle, along with another new massive entrained Planet in the outer solar system (“Planet 9”), here being called Athena, together as a ‘Return of the Goddess’ to complete planetary rulership and restore gender balance ‘in the heavens.’
It is revealed that Planet Athena made its closest approach to the inner solar system on December 21 of 2011, thus (nearly) coinciding with the famous target date of the long-count Mayan Calendar. The hunt for the celestial event correlated with the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is thus set to this date. From this a calibration of the precession cycle is made with the Hindu Yuga Cycle as interpreted by Sri Yukteswar in his book The Holy Science.
Perhaps the most ambitious advancement call to be presented is that of integrating the study and meaning of stellar energies into the typical planetary emphasis of the western Tropical Zodiac via the soul-entry concept as an alternative to the Sidereal approach of Vedic Astrology. Understanding of stellar energies relates to a much wider space-time perspective for an emerging deeper ‘science of consciousness.’
This synthesis is the final career statement of an independent scholar, astrology researcher and practitioner, having studied philosophy, modern psychology and both traditional and modern astrology in depth, now reporting solutions for a number of needed revisionsfor the inevitable convergence of astrology and psychology, as a new hybrid analytical compendium called Astro-Meta-Psychology (AMP), set in the context of breakthroughs in quantum physics, particularly informed by the Unified Physics of Nassim Haramein.
This richly supported presentation is suitable for astrological adepts as well as a more sophisticated general audience in a time of increasing interest in the subject via the Internet, one requiring a more advanced scientific approach for coherence with greater intellectual and cultural uplift.
