So for the sake of getting it on this thread for all to consider:
What is Magi Astrology's take on points (other than angles) like North/South Nodes?
How about Lilith?
Hypothetical planets?
I notice Sedna is considered important by Magi astrology for socioeconomic prediction, can you speak to that at all? Is it used for synastry as well?
And are there other asteroids or other bodies in the solar system considered significant by Magi Astrology, such as Eros or Ceres (for synastry or predictively)?
On a slightly different vein of questioning- what's with all the hebrew/semitic focus in Magi Astrology? I understand the Chaldean/Babylonian connection there and that their astrology goes waaay back, but doesn't Magi claim to descend from a Chinese Tradition? If so, why not a 12 x 5 (animals and elements) instead of 12 x 4 x 3 (signs/elements/qualities) system-- and a heavy significance placed on lunar calendar/moon Nodes?
My limited understanding of Chinese history (from studying Traditional Chinese Medicine) would make me think that since they have 5000 year old figures showing very similar accupuncture meridians as today that their astrological traditions would likewise be extremely ancient, and very likely resistant to fundamental change . . .
Hi Puca,
Since you have asked so many questions, I will address each in point form, so as to make them easily identifiable to everyone here.
1. In M-A, the moon is
only used if certain upon having an
accurate birth time, or it is not taken into consideration for the analysis. This is due to the strict adherence of the orb needing to be within a 3* radius. If accurate, the Moon does have significance, but because it is not imperative to have in order to still be able to attain extremely relevant information about whatever issue it is that you are taking into consideration, then it only makes logical sense that the nodes can only be utilized under the same conditions. So, they would more often be used for something like a business opening, where the time can be carefully recorded. One of the most important times that Nodes are used in M-A, is in their form of Financial astrology.
2. Their meanings for Lilith have not yet been revealed to the public.
3. Again, many methodologies, hypothetical planets, and high technological advances in M-A, are not shared with the public or have not been allowed to be released at this time, but may well be in the future.
4. Other little known planets, asteroids, etc., that the Magi Society consider relevant in their approach, are: Juno, Vesta, Pallas, Ceres, Sappho, and as mentioned, Sedna; which are used in natal and synastry assessment, as well as for finance. In synastry, Sedna indicates immorality and emotionless attitude.
5. Many people are not aware of this, but much of the information regarding astrological and metapyshical knowledge, was commonly shared and imported to different areas within the middle east, asia, and surrounding territories, in the distant past. Many of the methods that now appear to be 'isolated' concepts within certain nations and/or cultures, are not so much so as they would seem.
In the case of Magi Astrology, although originating with Chinese monks, their attitude towards astrological education and awareness, was and
is, one of progressiveness, openess, higher spiritual insight, and the most advanced technologies available at the time.
As the strength and uniqueness of the approach of M-A, is based on their revelations of geometrical configurations, and the keys to the universe that they possess; it is plain to see that 'animal meanings' and limited elemental evaluations, just can not, and would not meet the standard.
As they do not even focus on western definitions of the signs i.e. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc., which describe 'monthly' births; how much less so, would 'year' definitions of animals be of worth to them... ?
6. As understood from the above, I think that it is clear that the Magi Society is fundamentally not
at all about resistance to change, but about locating, identifying and utilizing, the highest means of astrological interpretation, and wisdom of the planets available to those that seek it.
