Since Jesus was God, could astrology even apply to Him? He created astrology! lol.
WOO-HOO...!
I was just being jocular. As Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity, then as part of God He cannot be subject to astrological forces as humans are. He is above them, or would technically have created them.
Wha...?
aw man, bummer.
Here, I was all excited upon reading your first reply in my email just moments ago and I dropped everything else to rush to the forum and ask you which Christian denomination has finally accepted Astrology as a creation of Gods' and not the Devil? ...I was going to rush to the nearest congregation and convert as soon as I could. That wasn't nice of you to fool me like that.
Actually, most people are only subjected to the affect of between 2 to 6 of the 8 planets and the random and sporadic influences of the remnants of a 9th planet known presently as the Asteroids. I myself am subject to the affects of all but Jupiter. Yeshu'a/Jesus was subjected to them all. Edgar Cayce spoke of and explained this. Gods' will works through astrological forces. Since you seem to assert yourself as something of an expert on Biblical matters, then you know of the Tzimtzum צמצום and the need for Hapanoi חלל הפנוי , for the required essential chalal panui חלל פנוי ?...or I will assume you do. Then you should be able to understand that Edgar Cayce spoke of that Yeshu'a {Jesus, if you prefer the name bestowed upon him by the Romans} was able to achieve the "miracle" of the "Resurrection" and the "Transfiguration" because He obediently and faithfully followed the "Will of God" and that by doing so He essentially became Gods' Will on Earth.
As one reads the Sabian Symbols one can see that He was the embodiment of each and every symbol as applied to what is, dependently, known of the history of His life. That His natal Part of Catastrophe is symbolically "one whom challenges religious and political power bases, He knew what His ultimate fate was, and in the month of April in the year of 35 A.D. [or C.E., if one prefers], that it was about to culminate on the hill of Golgotha.
As I suspect that the Romans threatened to kill every male Jew within the vicinity of Jerusalem at the time, not unlike as King Herod had done at the time following His birth, He knew that was the time for his martyrdom and I believe that He also knew that if He just simply went to the authorities, and turned his ownself in, the Romans wouldn't believe Him to be the one they sought. A physical description of Yeshu'a couldn't be relied upon as, for one example of a reason being, that it was said, and there has also been found to be written evidence of, that Yeshu'a and Judas looked so much alike that many mistook one for the other incessantly ...even among the Disciples themselves at times. You must know the story of Spartacus...just look at the number of men that claimed to be Spartacus in order to spare his life. ...and who was Spartacus compared to the man Yeshu'a/Jesus was?
I also heard that some of the Islamic faith even believe that it was Judas that went to the cross and allowed Yeshu'a to go free and that Yeshu'a appeared in Rome some thirty or forty years later and revealed this to a few people.
Although I, myself, don't believe that... I do have a strong hunch that Judas wasn't quite the 'traitor' that the history that was written, or edited, and aggressively promoted by the Romans would have us all believe. For another example, Edgar Cayce mentioned in one reading that Herod was still alive in the year 6 A.D. [or C.E., if you prefer] but was dying at the time from cancer. ...now why would that make any difference or not as to when King Herod died to future generations? ....hmmm?
The important question presently , at least it is to me at this time, is whether the symbolism as given for the Zodiacal degrees that those planets that don't affect us are in at ones birth should be given any consideration as to observe and pay heed to, or not? ...and the same apples to Astrological Parts that utilize any of those unaffecting Planets in the formulae to derive Parts. As Cayce said the Ascendent is always an affecting factor in everyones' natal chart and added; "...and all angles to the Ascendant.", I take that to mean 'astrological Parts. As I have found that the Sabian symbolism of Jupiter in my natal chart, which is in the 30th degree of Taurus, has no meaning to, or bearing on, any matter of my life in the past or present and have seen no indications of any influence by Jupiter upon me in transit since birth but do see where the symbolism of Astrological Parts of which Jupiter is a component of the formula for that Part is showing to possibly be pertinent...that is the reason being for which it is of noted importance to me.
...and I need you other members to contribute findings from your experiences with your own charts in regard to this matter to solve the question. There's no other way for me or anyone else to ascertain that knowledge.
If we could all just shelve our different beliefs to as "Whom" or "What" Yeshu'a/Jesus was and to when and where He may, or may not, have been born and contribute what we know to this endeavor, that would be truly wonderful for all us Astrologers... or at least those of us that are taking the subject and study of Astrology seriously, are giving it the respect and treating it as the "Science" it truly is... or once was, and hopefully one day will be so regarded as again.
Like I wrote to another member recently, imho...
"Astrology is not only a 'Science', it is the Mother of All Science."
