Astro-Numerology
By G. Kumar, Astrologer
Scientia intuitiva est scientia prima - The first science was Intuitively
inspired.
"The aim of scientia intuitiva", said Spinoza," is to find behind things
and events Laws and their eternal relations". What the Seers cognised
in higher states of Consciousness - in Cosmic Consciousness and
above - came to be known as the 12 Intuitive Sciences and these
collectively came to be known as the eternal Vedas. Hence these
sciences are said to be divine in origin. Descendit e Caelo - They
come from Heaven! They were never written, they were heard! What
the Seers still hear is only an infinitesimal portion of the Infinite Vedas
(Ananta Vai Veda)! They have been defined as the Breath of the
Eternal!
Universal Time
One degree of longitude is 4 minutes and Time is calculated based on
longitude. The calculations of Sunrise and Ascendant are based on
latitude and these mathematical values vary from latitude to latitude.
The Vedic concept of Time is based on the celestial phenomenon of
the rotation of the earth round its own axis and its movement around
the Sun. One constitutes the Celestial Sphere and the other the
Ecliptic Sphere. The Role of Saturn in the Science of Horoscopy
The second biggest planet in the solar system, Saturn is also one of the
the most important planets. 700 earths can be fit into Saturn. He is
the indicator of Sorrow and if he be benign, the horoscopian will be
a Wise One freed from sorrow. If he be weak, the horoscopian will
be melancholic and depressed and unable to come out of the web of
the sorrow of the temporal.

Mundane or International Astrology
The United States is ruled by Gemini, an intellectual and enterprising
sign. Aries rules England. This is confirmed by Shakespeare who
defined London as the seat of Mars!
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This demi-Eden, this semi-Paradise,
England, bound in with a triumphant sea,
Whose rocky shores beat back the envious seige
Of watery Neptune!
Aquarius rules Russia. It is ruled by Saturn, who,in the words of
Cheiro, symbolises an unknown and unknowable power,
Soviet Russia! Jupiter rules the Mongloid race (Asians).
America's symbol is the Eagle, indicating that the U.S. will have
dominion over air.
Astrology's Interrelatedness with Other Disciplines
The Law of Cosmic Interrelatedness
This Law points out that not only all parts of the Cosmos are
interrelated but all sciences (as parts of the Whole) are
interrelated.
Astro-Numerology
Pythagorus saw that the Key to the Mystery of the Universe was
held by numbers. Furthur researchers in Astro-Numerology have
shown that Combined Fadic, Name and Birth Numbers have effects
along with the individual Fadic, Name and Birth Numbers.
Astro-Gemology
In his book, Ancient Astrological Gemstones & Talismans: The Complete Science of Planetary Gemology, Richard S. Brown of www.agt-gems.com records that not only
the Nine Primary Gems but other secondary gems are also
used in Planetary Gem Therapy.
Planet Primary Gem - Secondary Gems
Sun - Ruby, Red Spinel & Red Garnet
Moon - Pearl, Moonstone
Jupiter - Yellow Sapphire, Yellow Topaz, Citrine, Yellow Beryl
Rahu - Hessonite, Orange Zircon, Spessartite
Mercury - Emerald, Green Tourmaline, Jade, Peridot
Venus - Diamond ,White Sapphire, White Topaz
Ketu - Cat's Eye, Beryl, Fibrolite
Saturn - Blue Sapphire, Blue Spinel, Amethyst
Mars - Coral, Cornelian, Bloodstone
Astrology and Holistic Medicine (Ayurveda)
The seven planets correspond to seven gross elements (dhatus):
Jupiter - Fat
Saturn - Veins
Mars - Bone Marrow
Sun - Bones
Moon - Blood
Mercury - Skin
Venus - Seminal Energy
Medical astrologers of yore could discern the cause of disease by
analysing the horoscope. A weak planet during its period of directional
influence can bestow disease. If the fourth house is afflicted, it clearly
means affliction to the heart (as the heart is the 4th house by correspon-
dence). If the sixth house is afflicted, digestive tract disorders are indi-
cated.
Astrology, Astronomy & Mythology - Allegories & Symbolism
Bacon in his book "De Sapientia Vaterum" (Of the Wisdom of the Ancients)
opined that scientific truths are contained in Mythology. For instance,
there is a story in Greek Mythology that Athena was taking a bath in a pond
where Zeus (Jupiter) was taking bath. Zeus got angry and threw her out of
the pond. This is an allegorical depiction of an earlier theory in
Astronomy that Venus was a satellite of Jupiter and was expelled from
the orbit of Jupiter!
Mythology is, in other words, nothing but the representation of Astronomical
truths. As per the Vedic Code, the function of Epic and Mythology is to
adumbrate philosophic verities!
The Ursa Major Cycle
The first astronomical calender was erected by the Vedic Emperor
Vaivaswatha Manu (circa 8576 AD). It was based on the Ursa Major
Cycle. The constellation of Ursa Major (Sapta Rishies or the Seven Seers),
stays in a constellation for 100 years and to make a retrograde circuit of
the Zodiac (as the Zodiac is tenanted by 27 constellations), it takes
2700 years. All Vedic Mythology is based on these astronomical
calculations. Prof. Drayson says in his "Asiatic Researches "
that "the Vedists thought proper to connect their Mythology with an
astronomical period of a strange nature. It is that of the Seven Rishies
(Seers), moving along the Zodiac in retrograde motion and taking
2700 years to complete one circuit". Ursa Major, the Great Bear,
was in Regulus (Magha) at the start of the Mahabharatha War!
Astrology as Related to Yoga
Yoga has been defined as the Art of Conscious Self-finding.
"The aim of the Integral Yoga", said Aurobindo," is to know and
deal with the secret forces which determine our destiny".
"Life, not a remotely silent or a highly ecstatic uplifted beyond, Life
alone is the field of our Yoga," spake the Master. The barriers on the
path of a spiritual aspirant are the "hostile forces" in Man - namely,
lust, anger, pride, avarice, attachment, sloth and covetousness, which
lie in the subconscient (subconscious mind).
"Man houses dangerous forces in his house
The Titan, the Fury and the Djinn
Lay in the subconscient's cavern pit
And the Beast moved in his antre den!"
The Science of the heavens, as the friend, philosopher and guide of all
humanity can advise the aspirant to overcome the "enemies"
within him - which are formidable forces - and reach the Goal of
Life, Self Actualisation.
Offshoot of Yoga in the West - Free Masonry
In the Occidental world, Free Masonry existed as a noble science and as a
royal Art. Pythagorus was one of the founding fathers and Free Masonry was
enhanced by scholars who were familiar with Oriental Wisdom. It originated
from the Vedists of the East and its development was greatly influenced by
Pythagorus. Similar to the Oriental belief of benign forces helping
an aspirant, there existed a belief (in Free Masonry) of a Grand Lodge
in the heavens watching over the Masonic Israel on earth and superintending
its development.
Our aim is the Union of East and West, of inner freedom and outer mastery.
Isn't the Universe one perfect Whole and aren't we parts of that Whole? All
Seers have seen that perfect Whole as nothing but Love!
