"Believe it or not, but we are actually moving toward a Golden Age, a time of ascension, but not everyone wants it. We may have to fight for the better world we desire. The struggle will be within the mind, heart, and spirit of each individual. This battle has already begun and is a secret spiritual conflict; an informational warfare of ideas and thoughts. Indeed, it is the realm of High Magic. The ultimate outcome will be according to Universal Order, for Spirit always guides High Magic.
Although the High Magic of astrology appears not to be as precise as the science of astronomy, its foundation is firmly based on intuition and the understanding of cosmic law, or balance. Aided by inspiration, astrology works with the universal languages of art and metaphor by comparing such apparently unrelated things as stars and humans.
However, the magical reality of quantum physics reveals that stars and humans are indeed interconnected. The ancient truth “as above - so below” encourages us to discover what we need to know through reading "signs" in the heavens. Yet modern astrology is not about what must be; it is about what we can do - a vastly different understanding of this ancient art. The divine rights of free will and choice reign supreme in the art of modern astrology, just as they do in the technology of science.
The "signs" in the heavens report that Pluto (the powerful ruler of death, transformation and rebirth) entered the centaur constellation of Sagittarius (the seeker of truth) in 1995 and will spend years in this sign of religion, law and order, morality, spirituality, publishing, higher learning, and freedom. Chiron (the ruler of Magic) has now joined Pluto in Sagittarius. Their meeting, conjunct to an arc-minute on the night of January 1, 2000, manifested the "millennium signature" which signified the healing of humanity's wounded power and pride as well as the regeneration of our knowledge, science, technology; and, last but not least, our spiritual faith in ourselves, our Cosmic origin, and in the Universe itself.
Chiron joined Pluto in the 12th Sagittarius degree of the Sabian symbol with its keyword of "adjustment" and the reading, "A flag that turns into an Eagle." May the eagle fly and turn into a "Chanticleer," a rooster, saluting the dawn of this new age, for the millennium was birthed with this signature. In 1953, Marc Edmund Jones interpreted the meaning of the 12th degree Sagittarius Sabian as "a symbol of balance which every individual must maintain between the established allegiances which create the substance of his conscious selfhood and be idealized ambitions by which he is self-sustained as an identity in his own right." In other words, the individual must maintain successful self-establishment through genuine self-expression.
The above interpretation suggests that we all, as human beings of the new millennium, must present our own version of ourselves; particularly our spiritual nature if we are to have character. Yet our personality ought not to conflict with whatever is necessary to survive, physically and spiritually. Actualizing our spiritual nature must not result in physical death, nor should physical survival compromise our spirituality.
Spiritual understanding is revealed and refined through the tireless struggles of the individual with the situations presented moment-by-moment within the space-time experience. During this dawning millennium, the individual will explore new ways of seeing the face of God. The flag that becomes an eagle in the Sabian symbol suggests new forms of relating to the sacred in the Aquarian Age Universe.
Lined up directly with Earth, Chiron (symbol of the Magician, astrologer, and shaman), joining with Pluto (icon of wealth, nuclear power, and transformation), is here to teach us a new holistic worldview. Together in the sign of Sagittarius, these two planets mirror a new spirituality and creative methods for integrating teaching and learning, psychology, astrology, sociology, quantum physics, cosmology, and High Magic; new professors teaching at universities with an innovative curriculum designed for holistic learning.
The content of the Atlantis Oracle and the new card deck are but one manifestation of what will eventually become a movement of integrated understanding of a better world.
In essence, Chiron is ushering in a paradigm suggesting to all of us how we must change in this new millennium. In birth charts, Chiron shows where we need to claim responsibility for transformation. In a few years, when Chiron moves into Aquarius, this vibration will help us evaluate and restructure our treatment of each other on a universal scale. In 2010, when Chiron conjuncts Neptune, planet of spirituality, the doors of perception will open for all of us. I predict that by then, the new drug of choice will be a humanitarian and holistic high - legal, democratic, and free. Faith will replace the fragmentation of Tower of Babel knowledge. There is a potential for false spirituality, false gods, shadow light, and a misguided or very deceptive one-world religion: Beware of this future!
I feel that all of these changes will lead to a deeper trusting of ourselves –faith in our own link with Spirit, the non or un-manifest, God, the Universe, or Cosmos – as opposed to a reliance on what priests, rabbis, or muezzins tell us in schools or places of worship. The individual human heart in tune with Spirit will replace organized religions with their structured dogmas. We will seek others who think as we do and form teams, communities, corporations, and movements with a common goal.
We will take steps to heal individual and group power on this planet, preparing to take our place as responsible members of this interplanetary and intergalactic society; and we will live according to an ancient law, that is expressed quite simply as “HARM NONE!”
Since the Godhead is everywhere, you are a part – an emanation - of Him. Your body is your temple, or the vessel of your soul, the who you are, who you were and who you will be, all in one. Your body includes the Universe of stars that appear out there: As above - so below.
You do not need ten new commandments or a salaried “preacher.” Perhaps you need only one commandment, and that is, “Live in the moment in tune with the Spirit!” On the other hand, maybe you need one hundred commandments - those you make up for yourself. As long as you respect other peoples' beliefs, you are on the right track. On the other hand, we will see in the book “Passage To Peace” why ‘beliefs’ as such are also a curse, although they form the map to destiny.
Let go of the old; discover your own path. Follow your own intuition, but be spiritually humble, tolerant, loving, and understanding of others. It does not matter where you go to “worship” as long as you mean what you pray inside your own building - your body, heart, and mind. If your will and thoughts are in perfect cosmic alignment with God's and the Universal Order, Magic will happen - your will and His will be One - you, your life, and the world will transform. You were born to transform yourself and to change the world with it. This book of highest magic will teach you how to achieve this. Studying and applying this knowing will take you time; so sit back and enjoy the process as you take it in…"
