A trinity in astrology is formed between the astrological signs, the planets, including the sun and moon, and the rotation of the earth. This trinity is what forms the foundation for an astrological chart.
Planet and earth rotation are predictable; their relationships are predetermined by their respective rotations. Therefore, the patterns that emerge are predictable and predetermined. What is not predictable in any analytical observation or study is the moment of the birth of a human being and the moment of death. It is this unpredictable moment in time that will fix an energetic blueprint, a pattern, something completely predictable, upon a new born child. It is this unpredictable moment of death that will release the soul from its energetic blueprint received at birth. These two seemingly random moments in time are constantly interacting with the predictable movements of the universe.
Every event in human life, every experience has a beginning, a birth and an end, a death. Some of these experiences are imposed upon the individual, depending on the culture, religion, nation etc., some are the result of individual choice, or free will. Before going further in the understanding of this relationship regarding imposed and free choice, the question is asked: “Is individual choice, free will, truly free?” The science of behavioral psychology will point out no, marketing strategies will answer no, political campaigns will respond no, educational institutions and their curriculum conform to no, all the sciences need repeatable data to prove a theory. They will all, in their own way, base their decisions and understanding upon pattern recognition. Once patterns are observable and repeated, choice is predictable and predetermined.
The next question asks: “Is this 100% true?” It is, except when it is not, so the answer is no. There would be no new discovery if so, no new artistic creation, no wonder, no mystery, no questions and most of all, no falling in love, if everything was predictable and predetermined. There is undeniable facts that there is a force, energy, intelligence, movement that is completely unpredictable, and influences, directs human beings to do something, “outside the box”.
Modern astrology is based upon pattern recognition. Relationships, planetary movements, progressions, transitions and house positions have led astrologers to determine character traits, temperaments, health, emotional and mental well-being, educational and vocational pursuits, marriage and children etc. These verifiable patterns have given a greater understanding into life experiences, interactions and decisions into future directions. Yet the cause of the patterns, is outside the pattern itself. It is always the elements that just don’t quite fit in.
Soul essence astrology, utilizing fundamental astrological patterns, goes into the unconscious realms to retrieve these elements, or causes, from the life patterns established by the astrological trinity at birth. The unconsciousness is a vast domain in which the energetic traces of our past lives are stored. Each energetic trace, or soul overlay, represents a different incarnation, revealing a whole new intricate “web” of movements that expand awareness into the continuity of successive lives. People, experiences, choices become resonating frequencies, colors, sounds, to utilize physical images, and begin to blend the seemingly random experiences into a unified whole.
As awareness deepens and centers the life relationships into this state of consciousness, our choices free themselves from the pattern designs of this incarnation and enter into co-creative life choices with the soul overlays of past lives, the energetic patterns of our present life and the impulse of our soul evolutionary journey. Our lives become a facet of an ever-changing design, enriching life, expanding conscious awareness and grounding individual presence into this present lifetime. This next presentation will look at soul overlays, it’s function, structure and how it is embedded into our unconsciousness at incarnation.
