Astral Worship – Fable of the Twelve Labors
Written by psychiclineadmin on February 24, 2009
The authors of the original solar fables, having lived in that remote age in which physical prowess was recognized as the highest attribute of humanity, conceived the idea that
God Sol, while passing through his apparent orbit, had to fight his way with the animals of the Zodiac, and with others in conjunction with them.
Hence, designating him as the Mighty Hunter, and calling his exploits the twelve labors, they made the incarnate Saviours the heroes of similar ones on earth, which they taught were performed for the good of mankind; and that, after fulfilling their earthly mission, they were exhaled to heaven through the agency of fire. When these fables were composed the Summer Solstice was in the sign of Leo, and making the twelve labors begin in it, the first consisted in the killing of a lion, and the second, in rescuing a virgin (Virgo) by the destruction of a Hydra, the constellation in conjunction with her. Upon one of the Assyrian marbles on exhibition in the British Museum these two labors are represented as having been performed by a saviour by the name of Nimroud. In the constellations of Taurus, the bull of the Zodiac, and of Orion, originally known as Horns, in conjunction therewith, we have groupings of stars representing the latter as one of the mighty hunters of the ancient Astrolatry, supporting on his left arm the shield of the lion’s skin, the trophy of the first labor, and holding a club in his uplifted right hand, is engaged in performing the tenth labor by a conflict with the former.
The fable of the twelve labors constituted the sacred records or scriptures of the older forms of Astrolatry, one version of which, written with the cuneiform character upon twelve tablets of burnt clay, exhumed from the ruins of an Assyrian city, and now on exhibition in the British Museum, is ascribed to Nimroud, the prototype of the Grecian Hercules, and of Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter of the Old Testament.
Scorpio – The eighth astrological sign of the zodiac
Written by psychiclineadmin on December 1, 2008
Scorpio, also known as the scorpion, is the eighth sign of the zodiac. If your birthday is between November 16 – December 15, then your sign is Scorpio. Like most of the other signs, Scorpio is no longer in alignment with the constellation that it’s based upon. This is due to what’s known as the precession of the equinoxes.
As a water sign, Scorpio is considered a negative or feminine / introverted sign, and as such is thought to be very insightful and sensitive. They are also known to possess a very vivid imagination and are quite intuitive. The downside to this is that they can be rigid, or inflexible in their views and beliefs. It’s also one of the four fixed signs along with Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius
Scorpio gets its name from the constellation Scorpius which is the Latin word for scorpion. In the sky it resembles the tail of a scorpion.
According to Greek mythology, the constellation got it’s name when Hera, the wife and sister of Zeus, sent a scorpion to kill Orion the hunter. This appears to be at odds though with the story of how Orion the constellation was named. In that version, Orion is killed by the scorpion and sent to the heavens.
Scorpio was originally ruled by Mars. But since the discovery of the planet Pluto, it has been considered to be ruled by Pluto.
As the eighth sign, Scorpio has some notable associations – birth and death, relationships, and all things related to the occult and psychic matters. An interesting thing to note is the relationship it has with three different animals – the scorpion, the snake, and the phoenix. With these associations come different strengths and powers that are directly related to each of the individual animals. Personal strength, intimidation, and power are three of the most commonly cited ones.
People that fall under the Scorpio sign are often very powerful and determined. They’re frequently intense and ambitious, yet at the same time can be very calm and reserved in the most extreme situations. Scorpios are also very sexual individuals that are filled with passion, yet they can remain quite loyal and devoted.
Career choices for a Scorpio include almost anything that requires a deep analytical mindset. Scientists and researchers, police detectives, and investigators. Other good fits are almost anything in the medical field including therapists and psychologists.
Some famous Scorpios include Albert Camus, Bill Gates, Carl Sagan, Condoleezza Rice, Indira Gandhi, John Adams, Jonas Salk, Joseph Goebbels, Marie Curie, Pablo Picasso, and Teddy Roosevelt to name a few Tags: aquarius, astrology, feminine sign, fixed sign, introverted, Leo, mars, orion, pluto, psychic, scorpio, taurus, water sign, zodiac
Leo – The fifth astrological sign of the zodiac
Written by psychiclineadmin on November 27, 2008
Leo the Lion is the fifth sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between July 23 and August 22, then your sign is Leo.
Leo is a fire sign and also one of the positive or extroverted masculine signs. Much like other signs of the zodiac, Leo is no longer aligned with the constellation that shares its name due to the precession of the equinoxes.
Leo is ruled by the sun, and along with Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius is one of the fixed signs. Because of this, Leos tend to be strong, possessing great strength and stamina. Conversely though, they tend to be slightly stubborn and inflexible.
From Greek Mythology, the constellation was created when Hercules, as one of his twelve labors, set out to slay the Nemean Lion. After he killed the lion, it was sent to the heavens by Zeus where it is visible today as the constellation Leo.
Leo’s tend to be very creative and passionate about most things. They love attention and the spotlight, and are very passionate about things they deem important in their lives. They can be very faithful to others, and at the same time quite protective of them. They’re noble and are known to have magnetic personalities. One of their less desirable traits is being overly dramatic. This is directly related to their love of attention. They can also be very bossy and argumentative. Along with these,
they’re often associated with being dogmatic; a direct correlation to the fact that they’re one of the fixed signs.
If you’re a Leo, some potentially good careers for you include anything related to fashion, politics, law, business, or entertainment and the arts.
Some famous Leos include, Aldous Huxley, Mick Jagger, Queen Elizabeth, Andy Warhol, Herbert Hoover, Jerry Falwell, Alfred Hitchcock, Bill Clinton, Napoleon, and Yassar Arafat to name a few.
