One of the planets in the chart embodies the Monadic ray

of a mans ray- and this in the above threefold manner.

(EH 277) 10. As the true astrology comes into its own and is developed into a reputable science, the charts
of the soul and of the personality can be related to each other; then the etheric
body will be checked by correct astrological conclusions, and the physician will be on far surer ground than he
now is. The astrology of the past concerned the life of the personality; the astrology
of the future will indicate the purpose of the soul, and will completely revolutionise
medicine (among other things). It must, however, be lifted out of the hands of those interested in predictional
astrology, out of the hands of the thousands who at this time spend much time "casting" horoscopes (seeking to
interpret their usually erroneous conclusions), and placed in the hands of trained mathematical scientists and in
the hands of those who have given as much time to scientific training along astrological lines as is now given to
training a reputable physician, a chemist or a biologist.

11. These astrological findings will not only be related to the personality and the soul
charts, but will also enter the field of medicine, particularly in relation to the etheric body. Today, any
astrological investigation done in the field of medicine has relation to physical disease within the physical body;
in the future, it will concentrate upon the condition of the etheric vehicle. This is a new and
imminent development in astrological research.

and persistently reaching the man via the solar angel.

(EA 70) Astrologers will eventually be able to cast the horoscope of the soul,
which is sensitive to different combinations of forces to those controlling the personality life….
Those who “live below the diaphram”…will have a very different type of chart to that of the
disciple and initiate. It will require a different mode of interpretation.

(EA 87) This latter science will be based upon the four previous ones and will constitute an interpretation of the
future which will be founded on a correct understanding of the rays-personal and
egoic-of the influence of the triangles-zodiacal, planetary, racial and human. These latter triangles are
arrived at by a study of the individual human centres. When all this has been worked out
in the new style of horoscope which will later be developed
(DON 70) The relations to be established cannot be based upon some definite starting point, as is sometimes
possible in casting the individual horoscope, but upon energy effects, coming direct from the signs
themselves, or via certain planetary rulers (again either exoteric, esoteric or hierarchical);
these effects are again conditioned by the interplay between the energy of the rays
which govern the soul or the personality of the nation or country under consideration. The
problem is likewise complicated because there will be the need to distinguish between the horoscope of the
territory, housing the nation, and the people themselves who compose that unit which we call a nation. Some
nations are fluid and not properly integrated as are the masses of people everywhere; others are integrated
entities, or fully expressing personalities; others are crystallised and have nearly run their course as personalities;
others again are coming under the influence of their soul ray, leading to another cycle of fluidity, before the
definiteness of the initiate-entity becomes apparent; a few again are purely embryonic.

(DINAI 780) Volume three is entirely given over to the subject of esoteric astrology and forms a unit [page 780]
in itself. It is intended
to launch the new astrology which is founded on the soul
and not on the personality. Orthodox astrology sets up a chart which gives the fate and
destiny of the personality, and when that personality is little evolved or is only of an average
development, it can be and often is amazingly correct. It is not so correct, however, in the case of highly
developed people, aspirants, disciples and initiates who are beginning to control their stars and consequently
their actions; the events and the happenings in their lives then become unpredictable. The new and future

endeavours to give the key to the horoscope of

astrology

the soul, as it is conditioned by the soul ray and not by the

personality ray; enough has been given by me to enable astrologers, who
are interested and of the new inclination, to work out the future from the angle of this new approach.
Astrology is a fundamental and most necessary science. A.A.B. is not well versed in
astrology; she cannot set up a chart nor could she tell you the names of the planets with the houses which they
rule. I am, therefore, entirely responsible for all that appears in this and all my books, except, as before
explained, the one book, The Light of the Soul.

record will be kept of that exact moment, the moment of birth, or [Page 71]
of the first breath, often accompanied by the first cry. Character delineations will be noted and
compared with the developing subject and also with the ray chart, and the relation of these two—the

horoscope and the ray chart—will be subjected to a careful analysis

every seven years. These processes will guide the educator in the necessary steps which should be taken
wisely to hasten the child's unfoldment. Modern ordinary astrology, with its prevision factor, its emphasis upon
the nonessential points and upon the physical concerns of the incarnated soul, will be gradually
superseded by the recognition of relationships, of life objectives, of basic
character predispositions and of the soul purpose, and much will then become possible
to the wise friend and guide of youth—which is what every educator should aim to be.

(EA 17) That the Sun sign, as it is called, indicates the nature of the man, physical, mental and spiritual. It
holds the [Page 17] secret of the personality ray and of the man's responsiveness or lack
of responsiveness to the Soul, the real man. It indicates also the integration already
achieved and the present point of unfoldment of the soul qualities, of the present available equipment, of the
present life quality and of the immediately possible group relations. It indicates, from the angle of the Ageless
Wisdom, nothing more. This is a reversal of the usual astrological position. The reason that I proffer this is that
humanity is enough evolved so that the astrology of the soul will become possible
before long; it constitutes—from many points of view—a reversal of normal procedure. This is both wise
and necessary, and also inevitable. Astrologers will eventually be divided into two classes: the exoteric
astrologers who will be occupied with the horoscope of the personality, and the esoteric astrologers
who will be occupied with the purposes of the soul.

(EA 90) At present, charts are set up on the basis of the personality condition or of
the personality ray, if the astrologer is fortunate enough to know or to guess it accurately; if, however,
the subject is an advanced person, then the chart will be frequently wrong as the planets which
govern in the case of ordinary or undeveloped man have ceased to influence
the spiritual man and the disciple. Average man is primarily conditioned in the events of his physical
plane life by the position of the planets in the twelve houses and they are, in their turn, conditioned by certain

will be cast eventually on the basis of the soul ray, and

then the zodiacal signs which govern the activities and [Page 90] the influence of the present
group of planetary Rulers will be considerably lessened. New planetary potencies
(conveying zodiacal energies) will control and take precedence of the old ones, thus putting the man in touch
with different forces. Finally the time will come when he will be sensitive to the whole range of
charts will then be set up which will be called
vibrations;

"charts of the crosses" and not simply indications of planetary influences in the twelve
houses. I question whether there is any living astrologer capable of doing this as yet. These are the kind of

charts by which the Masters gauge Their disciples and

they are most interesting; I touched upon them somewhat earlier in this treatise. These "charts of the crosses" are

the ones that areprepared prior to the third initiation , at which time
the man begins his "approach" to the Cardinal Cross of the heavens. I would here remind you, e'en though it is a
piece of useless information, that the fifth
major initiation of our planet is the first
cosmic initiation, just as the third initiation is the first systemic. The two first
initiations are planetary in their implications. The above statement has deep and esoteric
astrological significance.

(EA 91) as the present first ray types are expressing themselves through personalities
which are on all the rays, I would simply ask you to consider what I have to say from the angle of
character effects, of problems presented and of quality unfolded. It is well-nigh impossible to be more explicit

astrologer must
until such time as the Science of the Rays has been further developed; the

ascertain the ray type before he will be able to cast

the adequate horoscope of the soul.
(EA 222) Therefore, the influence of the third ray is omitted or "occultly deflected," as it is called, except in so
far that the substance of the brain is automatically conditioned by the third ray which is the subconscious ruler of
matter. This pouring in of six potencies is that which provides the setting and conditions of the tests; all these
ray energies express themselves as the active sub-rays of the ray upon which the
soul of the disciple is found; hence the necessity
to ascertain the ray
of the soul, prior to casting the horoscope and setting up the chart.
This brings me to two points about which I would like to speak a word. In dealing with the horoscope of the
personality and with the average non-aspiring man, the astrologer should endeavour to discover the
personality ray from a study of character, of the physical indications, of the emotional
qualities, of the type of mind and the nature of the environment. He will then be able to lay out a far more useful
chart with the orthodox planets ruling the life. In the case of the horoscope of a disciple, he
should do the same, endeavouring to discover the ray of the soul . The soul ray only
sets its mark and emphasises its quality and nature in the case of advanced people, and when that emerges
clearly, the man is obviously a disciple and the esoteric
planets will then govern his chart.
Having determined [Page 223] the ray of the man undergoing tests in Scorpio, the astrologer
can then place the other rays in relation to him and his probable experience.

(EA 340) You will, therefore, note that when the pull of the energies pouring into and through the
signs of the zodiac is in the direction of form expression that the result of the
interplay between the opposite signs leads to some aspect of definite
personality manifestation, this being largely determined by the ray of the
personality. When the life tendency is being withdrawn from form and the soul is in
process of revelation then there is soul or egoic emphasis, and this again is determined, as to quality, by the

nature of the egoic ray. Here again will appear the necessity for a knowledge of the point
in evolution of the individual whose horoscope is under consideration. I would indicate at this point that in
studying any of the signs it will be wise to study at the same time its opposite or
consummating sign. Much that I could, for instance, say in connection with the sign, Cancer, has
already [Page 340] been said in connection with its opposite, Capricorn, and the same will be true of all the signs
which we are now going to study.

Each of the seven soul rays distributes its energy via one or other of the seven
sacred planets
(WM 438) Astrology now deals primarily with the personality for whom the horoscope may be cast and with the
events of the personality life. When, through meditation and service, plus the discipline of the lunar bodies, a

definitely under his soul ray, then he comes as

man comes consciously and

definitely under the influence of one or other of the

seven solar systems, as they focus their energy
through one or other of the constellations and [Page
438] subsequently one or other of the seven sacred
planets. Eventually, there will be twelve sacred planets, corresponding to the twelve constellations, but
the time is not yet. Our solar system, as you know, is one of seven. When a man has
arrived at this point in evolution, birth months, mundane astrology, and the influences which play upon the form
aspect become of less and less importance. This circle of solar systems affects
paramountly the soul and it becomes the focal point of spiritual energies. This is the problem of the
soul on its own plane,—responsiveness to these types of energy, and, of them, the personality is totally
unaware.

The signs which fall therefore into the four categories of earth,
water, fire and air, concern primarily
the man who lives below the diaphragm, and who utilises the lower four centres:—the centre at the

base of the spine, the sacral centre, the solar plexus and the spleen. The inner group of
seven major or systemic energies produce their effect upon the man who is
living above the diaphragm, and work through the seven representative centres
in the head. Four of
them focus through the throat centre (Saturn), the heart centre (Jupiter),
the ajna (Mercury) and head centres (Uranus). Three (Venus,
Neptune,Vulcan) are held latent in the region of the head centres (the thousand
petalled lotus) and only enter into functioning activity after the third
initiation. It will be evident therefore how complicated from the standpoint of the horoscope (as well
as of the individual problem) is this meeting of the energies of two types of constellations in the case of the man
who is neither purely human nor purely spiritual. The ordinary horoscope is negated. The horoscope is not
possible as yet of delineation.
