The 12th house, the dreams and the astral field


In many esoteric teachings we are taught that the person in the astral field loses contact with the natural environment. The whole world that we observe in astral field, is a world that the person carries inside him. Whatever the person sees existing around him, people, objects, nature, are memories and information that he carries inside him from the time of incarnation.
In essence, he tells us that the astral field is a world of dream if we compare it to the physical world. All senses are inward oriented instead of outward and the person observes himself with his senses instead of observing the outside world.
Is there any astrological correspondence in this approach? I believe that this approach is related to some degree to the approach of karmic astrology of the reverse houses. Indeed, karmic astrology claims that our karmic ascendant is not the one we know, but it is the 12th house. In a sense, the house system can be seen in reverse, placing 11th house as 2nd house, 10th house as 3rd house and so on. Of course, there are other approaches at this topic, but we are going to analyze now this specific approach and its usefulness.
So, this specific approach tells us that the karmic ascendant is the 12th house. But, this should not be interpreted as usual, that this ascendant is from a previous incarnation. It has to be interpreted that it is our ascendant when we are going out to the astral field. And indeed, the characteristics of that house look alike to the approach of esoteric teachings. When we are in the 12th house we live in a dreamy world, we το have to do with ourselves and we are isolated from the rest of the outside world. The 12th house world is made out of imagination and dreams that are the material of this house. In there, our senses work and give us information for our inner world as if it were the real world. Everything we live in our dreams, that we consider them as real, is in fact information that we carry within us.
Proceeding with our interpretation, we could actually continue with the sequence of reverse houses in order to explain the meaning of the rest of the houses during our stay in the astral field. So, according to one approach the 11th house could be the house of Principles, the 10th house could be the house of Lords of Karma, the 9th house could be the house of  Soul Guides, the 8th house could be the house of the new conception, the 7th house could be the house of the acquaintance with our new parents, the 6th house could be the house of incarnation, the 5th house could be the house of birth, the 4th house could be the house of the new born age, the 3rd house could be the house of the beginning of learning and the 2nd house could be the house of developing awareness of ego, where subsequently the reverse of the wheel happens and the person begins to live in the outside world and takes the sequence of the houses in the right order.
Of course, this is only one approach, always as an experiment, as it always happens when we connect the esoteric philosophy with astrology. However, it is something worth trying as an analogy and to see, if it explains our experiences and the behavior that we display in the inner world of astral field.

The symbolism of Lilith and numbers 3 and 9


The symbolism of Lilith and numbers 3 and 9
A lot has been said by many, about Lilith, with a particular emphasis on the familiar subjects of “the evil woman”, “the marriage wrecker”, “the devil's bride” and so on.
Yet, the symbol of Lilith hasn’t been sufficiently studied on a scientific level by the astrological community. Instead, we are being influenced by all the metaphysical associations that the specific name brings to us and we are laying out all the medieval prejudices about Lilith.
For instance, who has ever examined and determined that Lilith is related via its rotation in the zodiac to number 9? Indeed, Lilith changes sign every 9 months while it makes a full rotation around the zodiac in 9 years.
Its behaviour alone to have a rotation period that cannot be divided by 2, shows a tendency to be freed from the male archetype of solar number 12. A similar attempt is only observed with Saturn, which rotates the zodiac in a period multiple of number 7 and with progressed Moon, which has a similar rotation period. On the contrary "prince" Jupiter, as an obedient successor of the Sun, also has a rotation period multiple of 12, even though 12 in this case refers to years rather than months.
As far as number 9 is concerned though, there doesn’t seem to be another planet whose rotation period is based on this number. Regarding numbers 5 and 8 we have the rotation period of Venus that is completing a combined orbit with Earth in a pentagram shape in 8 years, while for Mercury we have numbers 3 and 6 related to the Star of David, that his orbit forms if we include retrograde motion.
9 is however not an indifferent number. It's the number if months of a pregnancy. Why haven't we ever made the connection that pregnancy lasts so long as Lilith remains in an astrological sign?
Furthermore, a full rotation of Lilith around the zodiac takes 9 years. Therefore, if we break the rule of 10 for a decade and we introduce a rule that decades would last 9 years, then a decade would correspond to a zodiacal rotation of Lilith.
Unlikely? Maybe not, as numerology already uses a circle of 9 years. Therefore, we don’t suggest something original.
The information above shows us that Lilith is an astrological archetype which hasn’t been sufficiently investigated yet, and its astronomical correlations haven’t been detected. Therefore, it should be better studied and more facts should be gathered about it in order to have a more realistic and scientifically documented analysis of it.

The higher Self from a different (astrologically esoteric) perspective

It is clear that most of those who have been involved in esoteric astrology have in mind the model of the astrology of Tibetan and Alice Bai...
