Venus exaltation today..26-27 degrees Pisces -her exaltation
degree is the confines (terms-bounds) of Mars.I see recently that the concerns surrounding the information of exaltations has again been raised.
We know how the exaltations were articulated ....The philosophical
articulation is set forth from the scheme of Sect of Light -Seasons -Day and
Night -Light and Darkness - Intertwining of day and night -tangible-intangible-
visible non-visible.
The practical application comes via the Thema Mundi (World
Horoscope) Cancer rising -Jupiter - exaltation - the Sperm of life - Female -
Male - Life, the boat with Her sails-sails forth...planets trine to Cancer -Leo
-Day and Night -sect lords and sextiles. Both Chris Brennnan and Ben Dykes have
gone on to show examples of this, along with the Joys and so on.
But what about the
exalted degrees I hear being asked...Sometime ago -1948 Cyril Fagan suggested
that they came via the Babylonians -via 786-785BCE...the Hanging Gardens of Babylon
and the laying of the foundations for the Temple...during that year all the
planets were supposed to have been in their exalted degrees.
Checking through
astronomical software shows some truth here, although depending on your knowledge
and use of the Ayanamsa - An Ayanamsa is the longitudinal difference
between the Tropical zodiac and a sidereal Zodiac. The difference changes with
time, due to the precession of the equinoxes (Solar fire) this notion of
786-785BCE is highly debatable....
My thoughts have been out there for sometime- from lectures
given as far back as 2000 I have put forth three aligned - proposition -one is Astronomical
- one Hermetic -one astrological....... without giving too much freely (
thinking comes within) Here's one example...The Sun is exalted (Aries-Spring)
at 18-19 degrees of Aries - the Moon at 2-3 Taurus...
So a New Moon falling at 18-19 Aries, the Moon first appearance
in the twilight Sky is 13-15 degrees further on (mean motion of the Moon)...2-3
degrees Taurus. Sun has Moved to Saturn's Depression -known as Fall. The
lunation waxing goes forth and the subsequent- Ripe -Whole Moon -Full Moon finds
the Sun at 2-3 degrees of Taurus and the Moon is at 2-3 of Scorpio -Moons
depression or Fall.
An example of this in real terms was played out in April 8-9,
2005 when a Annular/Total eclipse fell at 19 degrees Aries (albeit slightly
more than 18-19) Saros cycle 7 north. The Pope John Paul is buried and the
Royal marriage between Charles and Carmila was postponed. It was set for that
date!
He (John Paul) was Canonised on an Aries Moon at 18-19, 27
April 2014.
