What Is Astrology?

What is Total Immersion Astrology?

No one knows what Astrology is.

Astrology existed before man. Astrology existed before Life. Astrology existed before the earth existed.

Astrology of this universe was formed before the physical universe struck out from its singularity in the Big Bang.

Astrology is the name we give the relationship between TIME and MATTER. The universe consists entirely of energy. Astrology charts that relationship as it plays out in the cosmos.

Each planetary system has Great Lives and Small lives which interact in a great growth continuum. And the many planetary systems interact with each other, as the galaxies of systems. Astrology is the description of this great interaction and growth.

The Great LIFE which we call the Sun, the informing ENTITY of this solar system is ITSELF just an element in a greater system, and could certainly chart ITS relationships within the greater whole.

So......Astrology is a charting of rings within rings, energy matrices within energy matrices.

For those of us who exist on this little ball of matter, our astrology is the description of these great energy lattices as they impinge on us, on our civilizations, on the events as they unfold in time, and on our minds.

This brings us back to what astrology actually is. There is a very popular misconception that there are distinct discrete subjects of astrology.

This is simply NOT TRUE.

Astrology as a subject is the description of a continuum of the universe running from the Macrocosm to the Microcosm and back again. At each different ÒlevelÓ, it is as if you had an infinite ZOOM lens that went from electron microscope to radio telescope. At each level you zoomed, it would remain in focus.

The Microcosm is the human mind and is best represented by the astrology of Noel Tyl. As you move toward the macrocosm view, you move into various kinds of individual event oriented astrologies, and then wider into Time and Event Orientations with cycles that are larger and broader. The transitions move from inside the human mind to individual interactions with environment, to groups of people interacting with the environment, and then to nations interacting with the environment, and finally in esoteric astrology, with Planetary LIVES interacting with the environment of the universe. The time cycle varies from momentary to cycles that last many thousands of years.

But ÒAs Above, So BelowÓ is the esoteric aphorism.

To really understand astrology, you must understand this continuum. Psychological Astrology is the microcosm as its currently configured by humans. However, we may yet have an astrology of elementary particles.

Traditional Event astrology is next on the continuum as we look wider. Shifting our gaze out again, we end up in the time/space constituency of Horary Astrology. Shifting ever so slightly we go to Horary Event Astrology.

Shifting up again we are in Mundane/Political, and shifting up again, we are in Esoteric Astrology(which no longer involves individual consciousness of the three worlds of human evolution.) But each shift up brings with it the life blood of the the previous astrology; it builds on the perceptions of the one closest below it(I am about to break into the Moody Blues song about the Lost Chord, and the AUM)

But using a zoom lens, when you expand those volumes what worked for psychological astrology works just as well for Horary, for Event Horary, for Mundane, and even esoteric if you discount the individual.

This is the Key to understanding any point on the Continuum of Astrology:

Change the Zoom, Keep the Focus.

And this is the purpose of Total Immersion Astrology.

Experience Astrology as a continuum: Astrology is Astrology. All aspects of Astrology relate to all others. You can study Microcosmic Astrology, and by changing the phrasing and the house structures be learning Macrocosmic astrology at the same time.

This is Total Immersion Astrology: The continuum from Micro to Macro and back again.

 

In keeping with the continuum, Zarathu Total Immersion Astrology sees five themes of astrological thought which pervade all aspects short of Esoteric Astrology which is not personality based at all.

These themes serve as the basis for all discussion about charts, individual or mundane. ZTIA calls these delineation framworks Quotients. I In psychology, a quitient represents a broad based set of characteristics whcibh interact with other characteristics, and in ZTIA, it is the same. While each modiefies the others, each can be individually defined.

The Quotients are:

1. The Change Quotient

2. The Energy Quotient

3. The Limitation Quotient

4. The Growth/Sling Shot Quotient

5. The Rumination Quotient

Each of these are defined and explained for use in both the Natal and Progressed Charts in the BACK TO BASICS section of this website.
