If Your “Moon” in the 7th “House” or Higher: YOUR “Aquarian” Journey HAS Begun.
Congraduations: Anyone who has their Moon in the 7th House has already lived MANY life times and it is “Their Time”, to live Their “Pioneering Dream”, of “Taking a Leading Role” in the “Aquarian Journey” to a “Soul” “Centered Life”:
Where “Passion/Desire” is “Replaced” by: “Compassion”, Self-Absorption is “Transformed” through “Absorption” into a “Whole Self”, and “Detachment” from “Personal Desires” becomes a “Vehicle” for “WORLD SERVICE”.
Uranus’ provides “ACCESS to Intuition” and its “NATURAL Association” with the “Aquarian Sign” Allows it “to Function” on the “Soul Level” as “A Instrument” for the “Invention” of “New Processes” of “Social Interaction” and “Communication:”
So That “The Sense”, of the “Unity of Humanity”, May be “Expressed” to “Others”

The Soul Purpose of Your Moon Sign
-----------------------------------
We may define “Esoteric Astrology” as that side of the subject which VIEWS all “Stellar Phenomena” from the “Standpoint of UNITY Consciousness”; whilst “Exoteric Astrology” begins its “Study” from the Side of Diversity and “SEPARATENESS/Duality”.
The Esoteric Astrologer looks upon the whole “Expression of Life” as proceeding from One “Central and Primal” Source, and therefore seeks to “Understand the Subject” from the “Point of View” of the “ONE/Soul Source” which flows forth “INTO the MANY”. —Alan Leo,Esoteric Astrology
The Moon is the storehouse of what I like to call out “biological karma”. On exoteric and psychological levels, she is literally and figuratively our mother. She thus represents the nature of the most basic of all of our relationship.
The Moon in our natal horoscope therefore speaks to us of our primary needs: food, shelter, material and emotional security. The position of the Moon by sign, house, and aspects to the other planets in our chart, tells us a great deal about our instinctual relationship to such needs.
How do we fulfill these primary urges? What constitutes for each of us our instinctual pattern of response when deprived of these basic elements of personal security? In a man´s horoscope, the Moon indicates our relationship to women and to our own inner feminine nature. The lunar position will often indicate the kind of women we seek out for relationship and the nature of the emotional dynamics within such relationship.
In a woman´s chart, the placement of the Moon is fundamental. It indicates a woman´s basic health as the Moon regulates her 28-day cycle as well as her ability to express her urge to nurture, to be supportive, and literally, to mother. In the horoscope of both men and women, the Moon reveals the scope and quality of our primary emotional nature, its drives and instinctual patterns.
The Moon has two other major functions in the exoteric horoscope of the personality life. She is first and foremost the representative of the past.
With her is locked the memories of all of our biological ancestors, and thus in this way holds an important key to our past lives. Who and what we are has a great deal to do with the biological matrix out of which we came.
In this respect, all of our ancestors can be said to still be “alive” through each one of us and we pass on that life (and those racial/family memories) to our children. It will be your Cancer (ruled by the Moon) grandmother or grandfather who will have the deepest and clearest memories of the family tree and its history!
The memories of your forgotten ancestors do indeed live through you, only we do not remember their experiences. What we do have within us is the second major lunar factor, instinct.
So many of our patterns of behavior, our likes and dislikes, our tastes in food and home environments, are conditioned not only by our parental background but by the collective history of earthly experience of our PROGENITORS !
The Moon therefore governs the ENTIRE SCOPE of this biological history (firmly locked within the molecules of DNA in our genes and chromosomes) and is thus The SOURCE of our INSTINCTUAL RESPONSES to LIFE.
The process of “Spiritual Evolution” “REQUIRES” that we Move from INSTINCT to INTUITION; from Unconscious Patterns of Response based on the Biological Past to a “Conscious Participation” in the “Creation of Life”.
This is NOT Such An Easy Task as it REQUIRES us to Leave the Womb of our Mother and be BORN AGAIN through the HEART of the MOTHER. And Leaving Home can be a “VERY” Fearful Process!!!
(ESPECIALLY because the “Phantoms” we CREATE in our OWN minds will TRY to keep us from “Moving” Forward on “The Spiritual Path”. If a Person has “Fears” about the Future and the “Choices” that lie Ahead, “Phantoms” WILL BE “created” by The Mind, and the “Phantom’s” make life VERY difficult until we LEARN not to LISTEN to the DARK SIDE in ANY way, ONCE we Learn to “KNOW” the “Dark Side”, When We “HEAR Them” or “FEEL Them” in “Our Minds”)
As we Examine the More Esoteric Dynamics of the “lunar landscape”, we will see “How” This Process UNFOLDS.
Please Remember that the Nature of the Soul’s UNFOLDMENT, i.e. the Awakening of Consciousness, is Accomplished Through SYNTHESIS, Thus we DO NOT Abandon Our Mother (nor any of our Ancestors for that matter), We Take the ENTIRE FAMILY with US as we Journey to the HEART. NO “Part” of Our “Past History” of life and Its “Connections” to Us “will be Left Behind”.
The Nature of the Soul-Centered, esoteric energies of the planets does not Negate their Personality-Centered, exoteric meanings. A Blending is Taking Place—one which gives rise to an “ever-increasing” Inclusivity. It is the “Path to Inclusivity” which is Also the “Path to the Mother”. The “Soul-Centered” Individual has Neither “forgotten nor abandoned” the “Past” Nor is one “Forgetful” of the “Responsibilities” we Have in our “Ordinary, Daily Life.
The effects of the Moon and its sign placement, as we understand them to be from the angle of traditional, psychologically oriented astrology, are still valid. But there are other, more refined or highly evolved lunar influences which the Moon “veils”.
We can start our own voyage to the Moon by first examining ourselves. Where is the Moon placed in our horoscope? Where Are We “Still” Attached to its “Influence” as a “storage Place” of PAST “Karmic” Imprinting? Where does the “Focus” of our OWN “Attachment” Reside and Most” Importantly”, WHERE is our “Resistance” to its “Release”?
Once we enter the Path, we will be CONTINUOUSLY “Confronted” by Such Situations “Until” we are Able to “Break Through” the “Lunar Maya” which HOLDS us Enthralled in “illusion”.
We Struggle with the PAST, bringing our “Instinctual” Memory patterns to the Surface of Consciousness. The Battle then CEASES to be One of Subjective, “Unfocussed” Inner, Emotional Turbulence. The BATTLE becomes more Objective and we FACE our Own Shadows as we “Set Forth” to “Break Free” into the “Higher Life”.
Esoteric astrology tells us that the Moon at this Point, is “Loosening its Hold” on our Emotions. In its place another planetary force appears.
This is the energy of “Vulcan”, Esoteric Ruler of the Sign “Taurus”, and the Planetary Energy which Helps us to: “Break Free” from the “Past”.
It is “Energy of Vulcan”, now “Working Through” the position of the “Moon” in your horoscope, that “Severs These Ties” with your “Biological Karma”.
A “Greater Inclusivity” begins to appear in your “Attitude towards Life” and those “Emotions” Connected to the “Instinctual” Nature of the “Personality” are “Replaced” by Feelings and Urges “More in Keeping” with the LOVING “Will of the Soul”. YOU have Entered the Battle for “Emotional Freedom” Leading to our RELEASE from those Compulsions and Attachments which No longer “Serve our HIGHER Good”.
The “Next Step” along the Evolutionary Road Home to the Mother involves the planet Uranus.
After Vulcan (who as we may recall was the “Blacksmith of the Gods”) has forged those tools of greater awareness in his fiery oven (signified by our emotional battles!), we may now step forward with a greater sense of our individuality and a firm hand on our creative will. In this respect, Uranus begins to work through the position of the Moon in our horoscope.
Uranus, the planetary Revolutionary seeks to REPLACE Outworn Ideas and Doctrines with New Concepts, Thoughts, and Structures, that PERMIT our Participation in the Larger, Collective Life of HUMANITY.
Whenever we are “Actively Engaged” in SERVICE to Humanity in General, we can be SURE that our “Connection” to the SOUL is “Secured”.
This is one of the “Greatest Blessings” that “Uranus” may only Reveal when Acting through the ”Higher Self” as the ‘’Esoteric Ruler” of “Libra”.
Finally we come to that “stage in life” when the REAL “higher octave” of the “Moon” appears. This is “Neptune”, the Bringer of the Vveil of Emotional illusion on the Personality Level but the INITIATOR into the “Mysteries of the HEART” on the “LEVEL of the SOUL”.
Neptune is the “Soul-Centered Ruler” of the sign Cancer. When Neptune Removes the Lunar Veil, we “Stand”, Before the MOTHER. Our lesson is COMPLETE.
Whether we are, a Man or a Woman: In the “Present” Incarnation, we “Have Learned How”, to “Nurture All” and “Everyone”. Our Love is Boundless, Totally Inclusive, and “Unconditional”.
WE HAVE COME HOME !!!
Let us now examine the position of the Moon from an esoteric perspective in each of the twelve signs and determine its Soul-Level Purpose:
Moon in ARIES:
Mercury, the esoteric ruler of Aries is on the same Ray of Manifestation as the Moon—the Fourth—and greatly influences the Moon when in this sign. In this case, Mercury helps to reorient the emotional nature of the Moon in this so that a greater contact is made possible to the mental body.
Thus our feelings and emotions will become a better vehicle for “the birthplace of ideas”. Aries gives a fiery impulse to our emotional nature.
From the Level of the “Personality”, this means that an Individual is Apt to be Very Impulsive in their Self-Expression, increasing the Intensity of Feelings into fiery Outbursts of Passion. On the SOUL LEVEL, such Fire is the “Fire of mind”, Allowing the Person a MUCH Greater Scope of “Creative Self-Expression”.
Moon in TAURUS:
A very potent placement usually indicating a struggle between the creation of forms for one´s own pleasure and personal security or allowing oneself to be a vehicle for the collective well being of all.
Abundance is the keyword to this position as the individual on the Path with the Moon in Taurus will lack nothing in the way of material substance, providing that the use of that substance is for the service of others.
The Moon in Taurus need not worry about not having herself, but true happiness connected with material flow is only possible through the transcendence of personal desire.
Vulcan is the Ruler Here and its First Ray energy brings out the “Will-to-Good” which can be EXPRESSED through the “Law of Right Human Relationships”, (i.e, The Golden Rule), embodied by Venus, Exoteric Ruler of the Bull.
Moon in GEMINI:
This combination provides a tremendous potential for the communication of harmony and Right Human Relations through the written or spoken word. Venus is the esoteric ruler of the sign and joins with Mercury the ruler of Gemini on the personality level.
Gemini is a Second Ray sign (Love/Wisdom) while Venus activates the Fifth Ray of the Concrete Mind (science and technology).
The Soul-Level Purpose of this position is very much involved with the Creating of Patterns of Relationship and Communication which Break Down Outworn Models of Social Interchange so that NEW WAYS of RELATING may be Brought Forth for the “Greater Good of Humanity”.
Moon in CANCER:
On the personality level, this position indicates the strongest link a person may have to the past. It certainly allows an individual to be very nurturing but it does not necessarily provide an opportunity for evolutionary growth if the level of personal attachment to the familiar is too strong.
On the esoteric level, Neptune emerges as a power of real opportunity as it is the Soul-centered ruler of this sign and is energetically connected with it. The Sixth Ray of Devotion acts through Neptune and combines with the Third (Active Intelligence) and Seventh (Synthesis, Order) Ray influences of Cancer.
This “Allows” the “Individual to Create” those “Environments that Sustain” a strong level of “Support for the Collective”.
Such a Person would be VERY Willing to Foster those “Social Circumstances” that SERVE to Support any and all “Humanitarian Efforts” that “Nurture and Sustain”.
Moon in LEO:
On the personality level, the Moon in this sign may birth an individual who is the epitome of emotional egocentricity. On a higher level of exoteric expression, this position can result in a highly gifted and abundantly creative person.
The difficulty comes with one´s attachment to this gifts and the compulsion to be recognized for them.
The test coming through Vulcan in this position will require the individual to reorient their fiery feelings and natural talents for the good of the collective, thus bringing in Leo´s opposite sign, Aquarius into play.
Leo and Aquarius are both signs of the Fifth Ray, making this one of the easiest polarities to handle on esoteric levels.
Thus the Moon in Leo gives One “Amble Opportunity” to “invoke”
that great Fifth Ray Lesson—the “Law of Right Human Relationships” (The Golden Rule) ,and the beautiful energies of the Fifth Ray planet, “Venus”.
Moon in VIRGO:
As the Moon is the esoteric ruler of this sign, its placement herein gives an individual a strong potential for world service work.
The Soul-level Purpose is to reveal the indwelling purpose within the various forms of life. This is of course, LOVE.
The Virgin is the Holy Mother who births the Christ, symbol for the Soul of Humanity. The Second and Sixth Rays are very potent in this sign and lead to a deep sense of devotion to those life pursuits that evoke and increase consciousness.
The effects of Vulcan when acting through the Moon in this sign would SERVE to “Break Down” Patterns of “Selfishness” and the “Manipulation” of “Matter” towards one´s own, PERSONAL Ends.
Moon in LIBRA:
This combination is very geared to the expansion of human relations from the more personal dynamics of Venus (exoteric ruler of the sign) into the more collective an impersonal realms of Uranus (esoteric ruler).
The lunar focus for the creation of forms is centered on the harmonious blending of all human resources. Uranus, the Seventh Ray planetary expression is very much involved with the principle of synthesis.
Thus when the Moon is in Libra and brings into play the energies of Uranus, the individual is very much oriented to the principle of “unity in diversity”.
When this Combines with the Energies of Venus and “Right Human Relations”, (The Golden Rule), we see that a “Moon in Libra” person can be Very Instrumental for the Working Out of many types of Humanistic Plans and Projects.
Moon in SCORPIO:
Whenever a planet is in Scorpio there is always a sense of tension. Scorpio and the Moon are both connected to the Fourth Ray (Harmony Through Conflict). The Fourth stands as the transforming gate between the energies of the ego-self and the Soul.
On the personality level, a person with the Moon is Scorpio is always required to transmute the energy of the lower emotions of selfish desires into a more refined feeling nature. The Moon is said to “fall “ in Scorpio as the nourishing qualities of the Moon are often severely restricted in this sign.
But from the Soul-centered perspective, this “fall” relates to the death of the personality which is “felled” by the energies of the Soul.
Thus the “Soul-Level” “Purpose” for this Position “is to” Use “One´s Outer”, form “life” as a “Total Expression” for the “Healing Properties” and “Unifying Qualities” of the “Higher Self”.
The Tests are often Severe (Scorpio is not a light-weight sign!), but the Rewards are Very Lofty.
Moon in SAGITTARIUS:
The duality of this sign on the personality level often manifests as the struggle between personal desires and one´s more altruistic ideals. This duality is resolved esoterically when the Earth and the Third Ray dominate this position from the esoteric perspective, and one seeks to bring practical solutions to humanity’s needs.
Idealism merges with realism, personal desires are geared for the release of people into a wider understanding of life.
Once again the Fourth Ray is a very potent influence, yet the Moon in Sagittarius Soul-centered individual is ready to ride forth into the battle for the good of the collective.
Vulcan´s work Through the Moon in this Sign involves the “Break Down” of the Belief, so Common to “Personality Centered Sagittarians”, that their, “Understanding” of Life “Represents” the “Universal Truth”. Once this “Humility” is “Achieved”, the “Moon in Sagittarius” May “Nurture through” his/her “Wisdom”.
Moon in CAPRICORN:
The restrictive energy of Saturn, Ruler of Capricorn lessons on the SOUL level, so that the “Individual”, instead of “feeling emotionally constrained”,” experiences the joy” of “true emotional responsibility”.
This means that the Soul-centered Moon in Capricorn person has come to the realization of where their real work resides. He or she may embrace this task as it has been well earned!
The “Urge to Control” Others (so very present with the Moon in Capricorn on the personality level) has “Given Way” to the “Awareness” stated in this line “From” the “Mantra of Unification”: “Let the Soul Control” The “Outer Form” and “Life” and “All Events”, and “Bring” to “Life the Love” which “Underlies” the “Happenings of the Times.”
The “Ability to Structure” the “Form Side” of “Life” is then “Used” by the Person with the Moon in Capricorn “in order to” Harness “Personal and Collective” “Resources” for the “Benefit” of “Group Purposes”.
Moon in AQUARIUS:
From the level of personal emotions, this is not the warmest nor the most nourishing of lunar positions.
It brings forth a tendency for a sense of impersonality which may not be necessarily very loving, just detached. Yet the quality of detachment is absolutely essential to the Soul-centered individual.
Such coolness however does not indicate a lack of feeling nor the absence of love. On the contrary!
Passion is replaced by “Compassion”, “Self-Absorption is Transformed” through “Absorption into the Self”, and “Detachment” from “Personal Desires” becomes a “Vehicle” for “World Service”.
Uranus’ Natural Association with this Sign Allows it to “Function” on the “Soul” level as An “Instrument for the Invention” of “New Processes” of “Social Interaction and Communication” so that the “Sense of the Unity” of “Humanity” may be “Expressed to Others”.
It should be remembered that Aquarius is a Fifth Ray sign and is thus intimately connected to Venus (Uranus is the esoteric ruler of Libra) and the Law of “Right Human Relations”, (The Golden Rule).
Moon in PISCES:
On the personality level, the mutable nature of this sign and the unstable quality of water may lead to an unending mutation of desire, thus perpetuating a life of hungering after something that can never be achieved.
Yet this very same lack of fixity and the connection which Pisces has to the ocean of all human experience, makes it the sign with the easiest entry into the universal truth of love.
The Fish function through the same two Rays (II and VI) as its polarity, Virgo. The First Ray quality of Vulcan when working through this matrix serves to harness the Will (Ray I) of the Pisces individual towards devotion (Ray VI) to the Plan of Love/Wisdom (Ray II).
This Occurs Through the “Gradual Release” of “Pisces” from his or her “Attachments” to the “Sensation” of “Emotion” on the PERSONAL level so that he or she may sense the PRESENSE of the SOUL. ONCE “Achieved”, the First Ray will “Point” to the WAY HOME.

The NEXT STEP is to: Locate the “House Number” of your Moon on the List of House Numbers below, and then, read about the “meaning” of the House Placement, which is presented below:
ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY and the HOUSES of the NATAL CHART
-------------------------------------------
All of life is energy, energy in manifestation and energy in form. The planets in the horoscope indicate the “WHAT” of the chart: what type of energy is at work, and in terms of the esoteric chart, what is the nature of the Ray which is operating through that planet?
The signs of the chart tell us about the “HOW” of things: how is that energy and Ray field modifying the expression of the planet?
The houses of the chart tell us about the “WHERE” of things: where, in which areas of personality and/or Soul life is this planet, house, and Ray combination expressing itself?
It is through the fields of activity indicated by the houses of the natal chart that the life force of both the lower and Higher selves meet, blend, and sometimes conflict in the present incarnation.
The meanings of the houses is a very fluid area in Soul-centered astrology. The traditional significances of each house remains the same. This is because the vast majority of us spend a great deal of time dealing with the nature of our ordinary (and often extraordinary!) lives: family, work, emotional nature, creative aspirations, health, etc.
The additional Soul-centered factors are gradually integrated into one’s life as we encounter them on our spiritual Path. Those not on a Path, those not concerned with or conscious of the life of the Soul, will never have to deal with the additional factors presented on the following pages. This will be a relief for some and a loss of opportunity for others. Perhaps the easiest approach to the esoteric meanings of the twelve houses is by comparison.
THE FIRST HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
The Body of the Soul
The aura
Emergence of the Soul purpose
Qualities of the Ray type
Head chakras
Expression of the manifested will
Activities of the Soul
The ego (personality, lower self) is very connected to its appearance and the nature of its effects on and acceptance by, the immediate environment (this is most obvious when Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius is rising).
The Soul is not the body, the body is an extension of the Soul. When consciousness is aligned, the individual relates to the environment from the inside out and no longer sees him or herself as a victim (or a predator) of the environment.
The qualities of the Ray type of the Soul and personality blend and this, rather than the clothes one wears or one’s physical beauty, becomes the nature of the effect the person has on the world of appearances.
The head centers radiate consciousness and the environment is illuminated by that special type (Ray expression) of Love.
THE SECOND HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Spiritual resources and values; prana
Uses of material forms for Soul purposes
The shaping of matter as an expression of Soul purpose
Gains resulting from the right use of resources
Increase in the ability to manifest form
Money and our financial resources are the vehicles of exchange in the expression of our sense of self-worth (and they way we are often assessed) in most western, and especially in American, culture.
Prana is the vitality of the life force contained within the Sun. It is the source of all form and thus of all wealth. The personality tends to identify with form; the Soul with prana. The more our sense of self-worth is dependant upon form, the more we fear its loss and the more we stand to lose.
Centering in the Soul increases the ability to create any amount of money, or any form of material substance for that matter, as we are then Identifying Ourself much more with the limitless energy of the Sun.
It is Then, that the Form loses Control over, “consciousness” and our “consciousness gains control”, over the “form”. The result is “freedom” and much “greater” possibilities of “abundance” on all levels.
THE THIRD HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Mind substance energy, manas
Mental telepathy
The Path to Wisdom
Developing the Rainbow Bridge
Steps along the Path
Soul brothers and sisters; companions along the Way
The personality is often the server of the lower mind. It obeys its thoughts and has no idea that it creates those thoughts. These thoughts and ideas are more often than not, mental programs inherited from one’s family and society.
They are not indiviudalized at all, merely repeated by us in our own particular way, depending on our psychological state and level of intelligence, From the perspective of the Soul, the Third House is the field of mental matter from which we may create the thoughts we use in order to communicate our creative intent and our Soul’s purpose.
Our journeys through life are interpreted by the personality as experiences which fulfill or inhibit the fulfillment of personal desires.
From the level of the Soul, each experience is a lesson in the right use of energy. As the Soul increases its control over the mind, our short journeys become more meaningful as we see a logical Path to Light unfolding before us.
Along the Way, we meet our Soul brothers and sisters who hear and help us as we do the same for them.
THE FOURTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Biological karma
The World Mother, the Group Soul (source of our Soul brothers and sisters)
Foundation for the building of self-consciousness
Karmic conclusions to life circumstances
Home Ashram of the Master,
Spiritual Home of the Disciple
The personality is totally shaped by the influences of the first seven years of life. These factors (especially the relationship with one’s mother), condition the behavioral factors of one’s life to a very large degree.
Added to this are inherited, biological dynamics found in our genes and chromosomes. As long as we consciously and unconsciously identify with these factors as the sum total of our being, we are never, ever free to individualize our natures as conscious co-creators.
In terms of the Soul, the Fourth House connects the individual to the Mother Principle of life. We are then linked by an “umbilical chord of consciousness” to the Family of (Wo) Man.
We see no separation between the races, hold no tribal prejudices, fear no lack of personal nourishment, have no sense of rejection.
We approach The Mother as Anima Mundi (“The Soul of the World”). She is the home of the Master. Once we are safe and secure, anchored in our foundation of Mother’s Love, we may then proceed towards our Path of self-actualization and individualization.
THE FIFTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Expression of the Spiritual Will
Actualization of the Higher Self
Will expressing as Love
The Soul as Parent
The Will to serve
The will of the personality is most often concerned with the protection and expression of that which is closest to us: our children (whom we often see as extensions of ourself), our emotions (in terms of our romantic need for fulfillment), and our talents.
We interpret love in terms of these attachments. The Soul sees creativity as an expression of the will to serve. It experiences love as a parent to all the world’s children. It engages in those activities which work to refine the will aspect of our being as an extension of Soul purpose.
THE SIXTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Servers
Synthesis of the lower vehicles; wholeness
Those who are served
Service to the Animal kingdom
Service to Humanity
The knowledge to build the Antahkarana
From the esoteric standpoint, the Sixth House brings us to those experiences which help to create a greater sense of wholeness both in ourself and in the world around us.
It is the Soul which creates those organizations that serve and protect the environment, its minerals, plants, and animals. It is the Soul who seeks to acquire those techniques, processes, and skills that further the unification of the lower and Higher selves.
The work that we do ceases to become “our job” and instead becomes our part in the One Work that has service to humanity as its objective, thus reducing the sense of separation (and the violence that ensues) from self-serving activities. We are then in a position to serve the Self.
THE SEVENTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
The Dweller on the Threshold
Soul mate and/or special co-workers
The Path of Union
The Dweller on the Threshold consists of all the illusions, glamors, and maya which create the war within ourself. In psychological terms, it is “the shadow self”, “the not-self”, and the “other” (which is often the reflection of ourself we see in our partners).
The idealized urge of Libra and the Seventh House of the ordinary horoscope is to find one’s Soul Mate. This is, more often than not, the Personality Mate as our objective to to fulfill ourself through relationship.
From the “Soul’s perspective”, it is the “union” of the “Higher and lower” Self that Creates the “True Marriage”. What we perceive as our “enemy” is merely an “aspect of our own nature” that has Not been “Redeemed by Love” and “allowed to become” an “integrated part” of “Ourself”.
In Spiritual Work, the Soul Mate is a reality, but is most often found in connection with our Group of co-workers and is of a “Much More Impersonal” than “Personal Expression” of “Love”. The sign on the cusp of the Seventh House tells us much about our Shadow as well as our Soul Mate(s).
THE EIGHTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
The Path of Discipleship
Vehicle of Rebirth into the Consciousness of the Soul
Transmutation of Personal Desires into the needs of the Soul
Resources needed by the Group
Transformation of Fform
The Path of Discipleship IS the path of transformation and regeneration. It requires the reorientation of personal desires into the fulfillment of the “desires” of the Soul. The Soul desires consciousness and requires an ever increasing quality of inclusivity in love.
Thus emotion, passion, and sexuality on a personal level have to be transmuted into intuition, compassion, and union. Not such an easy task!
It is always through Scorpio and the eighth house that the most important and complex tests and trials of the personality take place. One of the rewards for all of this intense effort is the awareness that there is no such thing as death.
Life is “Immortal” and Immortality is “Perceived” by the “Soul-Centered Individual” as “Unconditional” Love. Another “Great Gift” achieved through “Walking the Path” is “Freedom” from “Personal Desires” and “One’s Attachment” to “Form”.
Thus life is lead “Without” the Pressures of “Emotional Needs”, and the “Insecurities” which “Come” from the “Fear of Loss”.
The eighth house in the Soul-centered chart reveals the manner in which the individual confronts these transformational tests.
THE NINTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
The Path
The repository of Universal Truth
The synthesis of all beliefs
Higher Mind
Cosmic Law
The personality tends to believe that its religion and life philosophy is the only one containing any truth. Religious wars are always fought on the personality level, often led by fanatic leaders crying out and killing others in the name of (their) god.
The Soul has no such philosophical or spiritual divisions. The Soul-centered person sees a world united by Cosmic Law. Disciples with strong ninth house horoscopes are usually involved in establishing methods of education which encourage the synthesis of all belief systems.
In terms of Travel, the Path is the Longest Journey we can Make as It Leads us Everywhere and Never Ends.
THE TENTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Spiritual Will expressed as Purpose
The Masters, Hierarchy, your Teacher
Opportunities for spiritual advancement
Enforcing the Will of the Masters
Externalized field of service
MC: point of initiation
The personality seeks to establish itself in the world through its professional contributions. In this way it achieves status and position, purpose and life direction. Our (extra)ordinary life requires that we take on a certain degree of social responsibility: pay our taxes, educate our children, obey the common laws of our land.
We are rewarded if we do by social approval and social security and we are punished if we do not by social ostracism and loss of esteem.
The Soul-centered person seeks to establish a “field of service” as his or her “career objective”. In this way, he or she may fulfill the needs of “Higher Authority” while at the same time “Serving Others”.
Status is measured by the level of consciousness (love) achieved and culminates through spiritual initiation.
THE ELEVENTH HOUSE
Soul-Centered meaning
Members of your group of co-workers
Spiritual visions and aspirations
The New Group of World Servers
Service to Humanity
The hopes and wishes of the personality is usually geared for the fulfillment of personal desires. They are conditioned through a sense of identification with one’s particular society and its collective values and ideals. One usually is attracted to friends who share these goals and with whom one has common social roots.
The Soul-centered individual is one who is naturally attracted to the energies expressed by other people’s Souls. Physical appearances, social affiliations and economic class mean very little or nothing at all.
The Urge to for a “Common Orientation” of “Service”. The need for “friendship” is “conditions by the need” to “express” “one’s individual part” in the “Plan of the Path”. “Aspirations and Visions” lead to “greater inclusivity” and “increased methods” to share those “doctrines” of “universal life values” which “apply” to “all societies”, Eeverywhere.
The eleventh house in the Soul-centered chart thus speaks about the Nature of One’s Companions along The Way.
THE TWELFTH HOUSE
SOUL-Centered meaning
----------------------------------
Unredeemed past karma
Inversion of the Soul force
Release Bondage to the personality
Selfless Service to Humanity
Awareness of past lives
Service to the World Savior
The twelfth house is a fascinating part of the natal horoscope. It contains a very special duality and “More Power” over our lives than most students of astrology realize.
It is through the conditions of the twelfth house that the personality remains in bondage to the past. It is the house of unredeemed karma, energetic situations which create patterns of activities which do not further the advancement of life.
It is these patterns and blocks which manifest as our “hidden enemies”. Yet both for the personality and the Soul, the “twelfth house is rich in resources”, if we only know how to unlock them. The “key” to this part of the horoscope, like everything else in life, is Consciousness (love).
Once the Door to the twelfth house is Opened by the Soul, the Individual is Aware of the Karma of Past Lives as well as the “Path of Service” required to be both “Self-Forgiving” as well as “Self-Actualizing”.
