Saptarishis Astrology Defined
The word Saptarshi सप्तर्षि saptaṛiṣhis is a compound in Sanskrit meaning “seven sages.” In Sanskrit Sapta is seven and rishis mean sages. Saptarishis Astrology then becomes the astrology of the seven sages also the astrology of the seven ages, stages, eons, epochs or time periods. These sages are extolled at many places in the Vedas and Hindu literature. The Vedic Samhitas never actually enumerate these sages by name, though later Vedic texts such as the Brahmanas and Upanishads do so. The seven sages are regarded in the Vedas as the patriarchs of the Vedic religion. Jaiminiya Brahmana provided the earliest list of the Seven Sages as Vasiṣṭha, Bharavāja, Jamadagni, Gotama, Atri, Viśvāmitra, and Agastya. Brihadaranyaka Upanisad and Gopatha Brāhmana have provided somewhat but not entirely different lists.
Duality In Astrology
To look at Obama through the eyes of Saptarishis Astrology literally mean examining Obama’s natal chart in the Ying Yang, Male-Female, Sun-Moon of Sidereal and Tropical Zodiacs concerning the seven original planets, forces, gods, celestial spheres, beings, archangels, state and stages of consciousness and destinies that formed the solar system in primordial time and as transformed in current time through changes and developments in the solar system over a 5 billion year period. As our solar system developed, these sages or celestial gods through the ages extended their influence through 12 celestial rings, circles or orbits that power and transform life in our solar system. The structure of their influence is affirmed and borne out through sacred geometry – the key to understanding the flower, tree and other sources of life. Modern science is coming closer to understanding and giving new meaning to these relationships through its study of the solar system and the stars. However, because of its lack of understanding and rejection of the scared celestial sciences of the ancients, particularly those of India, it remains light years behind. The Age of Aquarius will change all that, transforming the bane and ingrained “scientific elitism” of the 2nd millennium into a more meaning art form that gives meaning to life on Earth through proper understanding and interpretation of the stars.
The View
In the traditional structure the celestial sages are represented by 1) Sun, 2) Mercury, 3) Venus, 4) Earth-Moon relationship, 5) Mars, 6) Saturn and 7) Jupiter. When viewed from outside of our solar system, they become: 1) Pluto, 2) Neptune, 3) Uranus, 4) Saturn, 5) Jupiter, 6) Mars and 7) Earth representing the return to Earth from travels outside of our solar system. The Earth then becomes the 7th planet; the subject of Saptarishis Astrology viewed from the outside in. But this is the contemporary view as we shall later show, it was not so in the beginning, nor will it continue to be so in the future in our ever evolving solar system that expands and grows. Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were part of the original seven sages but have since been repositioned to form the celestial twelve celestial planets as we know them today.
This viewpoint promulgated by Ptolemy emphasized the seen over the unseen planets. It does not mean that Ptolemy was not aware of the unseen planets. The unseen planets that included Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were represented in stars maps of the ancients going all the way back to Sumer in the 5000 BC. See Zecharia Sitchin’s, “The End of Days.”
Material life forms did not exist at this time of the creation of our solar system. Material life forms came through Devolution of spirit into matter by the seven celestial sages whom at the time expressed themselves in spiritual form having great power, knowledge and understanding. These energy sources filled intelligence and sublime perfection that are beyond human understanding. They started the process of the organization of the solar system to support material life forms, which contains parts of their own spirit in the continuing process of life on Earth. Under their direction and influence, the solar system was reorganized into its current structure with the larger gaseous planets on the outer circuits and the smaller terrestrial planets occupying the inner circuits. There were certain principles that the solar system was designed to accomplish and accommodate, which are not the same in other star systems:
A good alchemical astrologer is one that can transform gold into silver and silver into gold again. This means that it does not matter which system you use, provided that you understand the basic principles and symbols of the system, as well as the source of its energy or power.
1) The nature and structure of the Sun had to find expression throughout the entire solar system.
2) The sojourn or life cycle of the Sun would take a defined path within this sector of the Milky Way Galaxy maintaining its relationship to other nearby constellations in its sojourn around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
3) The composition and structure of the Sun had to find expression in all life forms. This gave rise to the one male – one female relationship in essence, body or material form to perfectly reflect the light of our Sun (Ra) that consists of one proton and one electron. Other star systems may not have the same proton to electron relationship, and in this regard life on those planets would be different than life on Earth.
4) The experiences of the Sun and its related planets would form the basis for the experiences of all spiritual and material life forms that occupies these systems. This very much created the differences in the different astrological systems used in the world. The Western system known as Tropical is Sun based and the Vedic or Sidereal System is known as Moon Based. A good alchemical astrologer is one that can transform gold into silver and silver into gold again. This means that it does not matter which system you use, provided that you understand the basic principles and symbols of the system, as well as the source of its energy or power.
These are just some of the factors that were considered in designing life on planet Earth, from which the ancient celestials sages sprang in physical forms and from which life devolved to lower and lower forms of material spiritual expressions, but as it did so, the spiritual essence of man and all life forms on the planets evolved to higher and higher forms of spiritual consciousness through an unending rebirth cycle that accommodate a process of perfect exchange and ascension. This is expressed symbolically in Christian mythos and traditions in Jacob’s dream of a ladder that went from earth to the heavens with angels ascending and descending.
The archaeologist Michael Cremo, author of articles for “The Forbidden Archaeologist” of Atlantis Rising magazine argues that strong archaeological evidence exist that shows that “anatomically modern” humans existed more than 100,000-150,000 years ago, the viewpoint held by most archaeologists and anthropologists. He cites the early 20th Century discovery of an “anatomical modern” human skull by an Argentine scientist named Florentino Ameghino’s in Buenos Aires that was in a formation that was over one million years old. It is Cremo’s point of view that “anatomically modern” human coexisted with various kinds of apemen that had more robust features like Homo erectus or the Neandethals.
The planets in our solar system have changed positions in their orbits and when they do, the essence of their energy changes as well vis-à-vis the Earth. Hence, the astrology of Ages past is not the same astrology of today and will not be the astrology of tomorrow. As our solar system changes and the Ages unfold, our astrology changes to meet the needs of the new cosmic requirements. This is less appreciated in the modern world as it was in ancient days.
His research has led him to change his views to increasingly believe that all of the skeletal material currently referred to as Homo erectus should be placed within the species sapiens that would allow human beings as a specie to be traced back to a little over two million years. This point of view is supported by other recognized archeologists. Franz Weidenreich, one of the scientists involved in the discovery of the Beijing man, proposed that all varieties of fossil human ancestors known at that time should be included in the species Homo sapiens. This would include Java apemen, Beijing man, Neanderthals as well as a variety of early Homo species like Homo heidelbergensis, except Australopithecus which he did not consider to be a human ancestor.
To quote Cremo directly, “The idea that a single species can accommodate populations with greatly different physical appearances may seem strange. But actually it is a fairly common thing. Dogs, for example, all belong to the same species, Canis familiaris. But the dog species includes Great Danes, English bulldogs, Chihuahuas, and more varieties. … Today, humans with skulls with no brow ridges, with no sagittal crests, and with developed chins coexist with humans with skulls with heavy ridges, with sagittal crests, and with no chins. They all belong to the same species. When we look into the past, we also see skulls with heavy brow ridges, sagittal crest, and no chins. So unless we want to say that modern humans with these different features belong to separate species, we should conclude that ancient skulls with different features also all belong to the same species, Homo sapiens. Michael A. Cremo is author, with Richard Thompson, of Forbidden Archaeology. His latest book is “Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin’s Theory.”
The planets in our solar system have changed positions in their orbits and when they do, the essence of their energy changes as well vis-à-vis the Earth. Hence, the astrology of Ages past is not the same astrology of today and will not be the astrology of tomorrow. As our solar system changes and the Ages unfold, our astrology changes to meet the needs of the new cosmic requirements. This is less appreciated in the modern world as it was in ancient days.
Both Eastern (Vedic) and Western astrology resist change clinging firmly to known principles and methods of the past. While much of these methods work and most likely always will, as our consciousness expands and grows so too do our understanding of the world we live and the universe. Our astrology should keep pace with our ever expanding universe to find new ways of giving expression of the sublime to aide in our development and growth as a specie.
Today we may count 12-13 planets in our solar system, but it may not always have been so. They are: 1) Sun, 2) Mercury, 3) Venus, 4) Earth-Moon relationship, 5) Mars, 6) Asteroid Belt, 7) Jupiter, 8) Saturn, 9) Uranus, 10) Neptune, 11) Pluto, and 12) Sedna.
A thirteenth planet is said to exist commonly referred to as Planet-X.
The Age Of Pisces
During the Age of Aries, 2160 BC to 1 AD, the precession of the equinox in the sidereal zodiac aligned almost perfectly with zero degree Aries. The start of the New Age of Pisces was calculated by astrologers in Babylonia and Assyria long before the New Age arrived. People in the ancient world were so aware of the change in the Age from the constellation of Aries to the constellation of Pisces (Vesica Piscis) at the vernal equinox of 1 A.D. that there was a build up of anticipation that fueled the explosive growth of Christianity that followed in the 1st Century A.D. There was a strong pent up demand for a return of the gods through the coming of the Messiah that all non-Jewish outside of the Hebrew religion that were considered Gentiles were eager to learn the secret mysteries of the ministries of the Church of Jesus and James that Saul (Paul) popularized throughout the Roman Empire after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Tropical Astrology
The vernal equinox is the point where the Sun crosses the celestial equator to start the season of spring north of the Tropic of Cancer. This allowed for the Sun to be the central focus of Astrology in line with the Egyptian system that placed great emphasis on the Earth’s relationship to the Sun. As the Age of Pisces approached, zero degree Aries in the sidereal zodiac drifted away to occur in the constellation of Pisces, which no longer marked the start of spring. The Ptolemy was favored to satisfy the strong need in Western societies north of the Tropic of Cancer to have a date that coincided with the start of spring when the Sun crossed the celestial equator around March 21st of each year. This allowed spring celebrations to align with the start of the new farming season.
The Asteroid Belt
I consider the Asteroid Belt to be among the original seven spheres and hence should be considered as one of the original seven sages. We shall discuss the justification for this position later. Suffice it to say that the Asteroid Belt is important in both Western and Eastern astrology to gain insight, enlightenment and information of unique nature and value that may not be gleaned easily from anywhere else in the solar system.
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers
And let’s not forget about the fixed stars, especially those star systems or asterism that extol the virtues and excellence of the seven sages found in the Big and Little Dipper, Crux and the seven sisters that are in the constellation of Orion that we shall discuss later. We hope to demonstrate that Seven Sages of Saptarishis Astrology are not restricted to Hindu Astrology but goes far beyond that becoming a universal symbol that explains the structure and nature of the universe and all that dwell therein.
Duality Explained
The duality contained within Saptarishis Astrology relates to examining the seven sages or primeval forces or energies that existed in our solar system before human life form was created on this planet as compared with the seven sages or celestial forces that came afterwards that are now a part of the 12 celestials or 13 planets of our solar system. Join us for a celestial journey into tomorrow.
Intelligence In The Universe
The structure of our solar system was reengineered by the celestial gods to support advanced material human life forms on this planet. It was done so by intent as expressed in the structure and design of the solar system, especially with respect to Sun-Moon relationship. There is no other way to explain the miracles that we see daily. To call “science” things that place man at the center of the creation process based on man’s understanding, interpretation, manipulation and control of matter as developed and perceived through the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and feelings is to underestimate the very nature of who and what we are, that of spiritual beings, denying in the process the sheer beauty, power and unlimited life forms that exist in the universe.
Age Of Enlightenment
We are moving into an Age of Enlightenment. As we do, dogma gives way to spiritual knowledge and understanding; east meets west, north merges with south. The philosophy and sacred tenets of modern science are under attack from every angle. It is only a matter of time before much of the tenets and philosophy of modern science will be declared dead and useless as a new world emerges. We thread on this cusp of time in the 21st Century; one that puts in better perspective the nature of the universe, man and all life forms on planet Earth. In this new world view, man is removed from being at the center of the universe and the natural wonders of the world and stands in awe and praise of that, that exist around about him. He is no longer all powerful, but pleasantly impotent. He becomes a mere speck, a natural representative of the forces, powers and beauty that exists on this planet with no more or less privileges than the smallest creatures of the planet. It is a humbling experience and world view, but one that is very much necessary in order to form the social systems and sciences that empower man to live out his greatest potentialities and wildest dreams.
Only One Of Many On This Planet
Earth is only one of many planets in our solar system and galaxy that supports life. This does not mean that advanced material life forms did not already exist on this planet prior to the creation of man or that such does not presently exist today outside of human culture. To take such a narrow world view would be naïve given all the knowledge and information that has been discovered over the past few decades about our galaxy and universe. Advanced life forms existed on this planet long before the creation of man and their existence continues unabated extending all the way into the present age, even until today!
An ancient Ceylonese text states that “the Citadel of Ravana (Lord of Lanka), 25 palaces and 40,000 streets were swallowed up by the sea” in a global cataclysm. The Silappadhikaram talks of a vast tract of land called Kumari Nadu (Kumari Kandam) that stretched far beyond India’s current coast line into the Indian Ocean where a prehistoric Tamil Sangham academy was located.
According to Drunvalo Melchizeedek, “The dolphins and whales were the highest level of consciousness on this planet, and still are.” The fact that modern man sees himself as the most intelligent and enlightened creature in the universe does not make him so. Creating objects and having the power to kill and dominate life in a never ending cycle of relative evil does not make a species superior to other creatures living on the Earth. In fact, this behavior and historical trend shows just the opposite pointing to retrogression, deterioration, retardation and lack of development owing to a deficiency in mental, cultural and spiritual attitude caused by gross misunderstanding of the natural laws and principles that guide the universe.
The Tamil epics wrote of the submersion of two rivers, the Kumari and the Padroli, in the middle of the continent where the land was covered by mountains, animals and vegetation. According to legend, the Pandyan kingdom reigned from 30,000 BCE 10 16,500 BCE. As we shall see later, this period is covered in the time period where Sitchin claimed that gods ruled the earth. It was a time of high technology, aircrafts, space crafts and a very advanced culture and civilization that permeated the entire Earth before the coming of the great flood.
The Mis-Education Of The Educated
The idea that the human specie is superior to all other life forms on the Earth has become part of the human problem and dilemma in this Age pitting one race or group of people against another. Yet the human race does not possess even a fraction of the capabilities, skills, reactions, speed, size, intuitions and senses that exist in other life forms on planet Earth. Being able to wave a weapon and destroy life does not a superior being make. We need to change our thinking; in fact, we need to become more truly educated.
Through the persistent eradication and systematic destruction of our world history throughout the last 2000 years, we find today that we have for the most part been living in a Dark Age, that will soon be expelled by the water bearer in Aquarius in the rapidly dawning New Age!
It has been said that India’s history goes much further back than time itself. Theories abound throughout Sanskrit texts, tales and legends that the landmasses of Gondwanaland and Pangaea existed in the ancient past going back 180-200 million years. This was a time that predates Atlantis, Lemuria and the Great Pyramid itself. This was a time before time begun.
Lemuria came to life in the 1860s when geologists found a strong similarity between fossils and sedimentary strata in India, South Africa, Australia and South America. The geologist surmised that a land bridge or mass of large continental islands must have existed in the Indian Ocean, which they named Lumeria after the lemurs of Madagascar. Modern scientific continental drift theory discredited Lemuria by proposing that all natural developments on Earth come from extremely slow incremental developments, which is called uniformitarianism. This concept maintains the popular world view that no radical changes or developments occurred on the Earth prior to the development of Western civilization starting around 3000 – 500 B.C.E. For millions and millions of years, the planet Earth waited for this single moment.
It is believed that this landmass was devoured by the sea. An ancient Ceylonese text states that “the Citadel of Ravana (Lord of Lanka), 25 palaces and 40,000 streets were swallowed up by the sea” in a global cataclysm. The Silappadhikaram talks of a vast tract of land called Kumari Nadu (Kumari Kandam) that stretched far beyond India’s current coast line into the Indian Ocean where a prehistoric Tamil Sangham academy was located. The Tamil epics wrote of the submersion of two rivers, the Kumari and the Padroli, in the middle of the continent where the land was covered by mountains, animals and vegetation. According to legend, the Pandyan kingdom reigned from 30,000 BCE 10 16,500 BCE. As we shall see later, this period is covered in the time period where Sitchin claimed that gods ruled the earth. It was a time of high technology, aircrafts, space crafts and a very advanced culture and civilization that permeated the entire Earth before the coming of the great flood.
What was left of India’s history from ages gone by was destroyed by Islamic forces from the 6th to 17th Century AD. Aurangzeb’s army destroyed the Somnath, Vishnu and Kesava Rai temples in the 17th Century. In all over 5,000 temples were destroyed in India suppressing the religious heritage, culture and history of the people. Much of the knowledge and history of Saptarishis Astrology that forms the basis of world history lied abandoned hidden in caves and museums throughout India in its original Sanskrit text awaiting for the world discover and interpreter who has yet to arrive.
In today’s world the problem is different. India has become afraid to resurrect its past for fear that it will conflict with the “promised” future of tomorrow. To fund the translation of ancient Sanskrit texts and documents that lie dormant and wasted in temples, caves and shrines would only serve to ignite, embellish and empower the very forces that India has fought to suppress since Partition under Gandhi. This would be a grave mistake representing a gross catastrophe in the modern world, for how else shall India be viewed if it realigns with its past history, accomplishments and glory?
Burnt Past
With respect to Roman and European history, it has been stated by some authors that there is not a single thread of firm evidence or artifact that is reliably and independently dated prior to the 11th Century giving us a sense of history that is nonexistent or completely misunderstood. Prior to this period, precious irreversible classic and historic documents (some printed in gold) archived at the Library at Alexandria were systematically burned and destroyed by past generations to stamp out a dying age denying man access to his past and heritage, but more importantly to establish a New World Order.
The Roman Catholic Church’s burning and destruction of precious irreplaceable documents throughout the 11th and 12th Centuries completed the job for much of classical and European history as well. It was again done for the same reason… to establish a New World Order one divorced from the past world views and privileges.
The Church’s effort was motivated by its long historical desire to establish a “New World Order” with the Church at the center. But this is not new, every new world religion including Islam and ancient Judaism destroyed the history and culture of those whom they encountered and did not understand, and at all times for the same reason, to establish a New World Order with their culture and civilization at the center often authorized and sanctified by some divine presence, “god” or archangel.
Many countries in Europe, including France, England and the new Americas fought against this notion of fated religious imperialism during the Renaissance and Reformation periods because it meant the complete annihilation and obliteration of one’s true identity. The same is true for Native American Indians pushed to the boundaries of existence and annihilation through a religiously based philosophy of manifest destiny.
It is that search that we are on with respect to Saptarishis Astrology. It is a quest to establish the true identity of the rishis or sages that walked the earth in bygone Ages, the evidence of which still lie hidden in caves and temples or completely wiped out by former conquerors that sought to establish a sense of their own religious identities upon the wishes and desires of the people of India. And for that understanding we must look to the symbolism upon which Saptarishis Astrology lies in order to peel away and undercover that which it must have been, since so much is denied to us through destruction in Ages past. Hence, our journey is one of discovery and adventure through the annals of time and the ever evolving structure of the universe.
The Dragon Has Risen!
Today, many of the Renaissance countries that carried the golden flag of liberty in the 18th Century do the work of the proverbial “devil.” Some of these leading historic protestant countries have become the main agents and tools of the Dragon’s reentry and empowerment in the Modern Age – the one that stamps out truth and wipes out identities in an effort to establish its own throughout all the lands. In this regard, the Dragon is the proverbial “devil” expressed in mythical forms.
The flag survives as one of the strongest expression of national unity and identity, the shape of which is taken from the asterism of the Big Dipper in the North Pole region. In ancient times, the symbol of the flag represented kingship, meaning divine or celestially determined appointment that reflects the deep spiritual values of the rishis or sages. The flag in ancient India, Sumeria and Egypt represented truth, divine judgment and spiritual discernment. It formed part of the identifying signature or cartouche of the ancient sages and pharaohs signifying his office, but more importantly the source of his real authority, which is that of heaven. For it was indeed a heavenly and not an earthly appointment.
Nation flags of the modern era carry no such meaning today. The meaning of the flag has been lost since ancient times. In the Common Era, the flag has become a symbol of power and dominion as well as personal, religious or national unity or identity. To understand the symbol of the flag in ancient times meant that one had great knowledge, power and wisdom, especially about heavenly phases and the starry heavens in both their vertical (inner) and horizontal (outer) axis and dimension. This knowledge was far more qualitative than it was quantitative and would have been nearly impossible to be grasped or absorbed by the modern mindset that views nature in its derivative, not primal form.
A better way to view what the Dragon represents with respect to the collective unconscious human experience is to relate it to the invader, any foreign or world power that seeks to impose its wishes, economy, science, culture, religion, sense of history and beliefs on another set of people without developing or having any appreciation or understanding of the value of the people whom the conqueror sets out to annihilate or subdue.
In most cases, the invading conqueror is often a dark force of ignorance or negative power that lacks thorough understanding of the brilliance of the light that he wishes to overcome or extinguish. History is replete with such conquests and invasions the world over. In almost every case, history and culture of the conquered people is systemically wiped out to make them obedient and subservient to the conqueror. Soon thereafter the conqueror becomes dependent on the conquered and in many cases is influenced and manipulated by the same, falling short of his quest and desire for change or the attainment of regional or global supremacy.
But history also tells another tale, one of correction and retribution even after thousands of years! For this reason, world conquerors never last too long. Sooner or later they too are attacked and wiped out by another group, race or people. And in this way the history of the drama of world civilization continues unabated never permanently declaring a winner.
The one element that is continually sacrificed in these national or global conquests is truth! The truth of who the conquered people were or what they stood for. Their identity and respect for themselves are usually the first things to go followed by the relationship to their people, culture, history and gods.
The Dragon then becomes that cosmic or universal principle, force or agent that destroys man’s cosmic identity by separating him from his sense of self and from his creator or godly forces to which the essence of his soul is deeply rooted. The drama first started in the cosmos and then spread to our solar system during the earlier epochs of the formation of our solar system.
The Dragon has gained great strength since ancient times and is more determined and motivated now than ever to achieve its lasting ideal of forming a One World Government through the implementation of a New World Order on its terms, regardless of the cost in human lives or sacrifice of truth that might be required. It is for this reason that a redeemer or savior is often sent to reverse those negative trends bringing hope, joy, peace and stability to the people. One that can extinguish the fires of the Dragon using the discerning sword of truth and light represented by the axe of the Big Dipper. In the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the sword takes the liquid form of water that is perpetually poured out onto the Earth from a jar. In the time of the Christ, it was the two little fishes swimming in opposite direction is the constellation of Pisces that was the subject of the sermons on the Mount – the very antithesis of the twins of Gemini whom Pisces opposed.
In the Modern Age, misguided protestant countries who lack a true sense of identity do for the Dragon that which it could not do for itself threatening nuclear annihilation of its neighbors, war, regionalism and globalism that are essential prerequisites’ to perfect its union and complete its quest for complete dominion and total control, after which it knows not what to do and is often never around to see it through, opening the door for yet another invasion by a newly created self proclaimed and crowned Dragon force.
Destiny Of Globalism
The destiny of globalism through the implementation of a One World Order has long been prophesied as a pipe dream and utter failure thousands of years ago by the Prophet Daniel – yet our worldly leaders earnestly make military plans to achieve it. Upon conquering the Jews of Judah with a mighty force, the reigning King Nebuchadnezzar found no one in his own country of Babylon that were qualified in the celestial sciences to interpret a dream that was unknown to him as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Dream Of A Dream
In the second year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, the King had a dream that greatly troubled him. When Nebuchadnezzar awoke from his slumber he had completely forgotten the dream and could not remember it. Yet it disturbed him greatly. The King summoned all the astrologers, magicians, sorcerers, and Chaldeans of Babylon to tell him what the dream was and to provide the interpretation thereof or he would kill them by cutting them up into pieces.
Not receiving the dream or the interpretation thereof in a timely manner, the King hastily issued a commandment to kill all the wise men of Babylon. The King’s captain, Arioch, sought Daniel, a wise man and astrologer to slay him. In a bid to escape execution, Daniel asked Arioch why was the sentence of death given? The captain told Daniel that the king had a dream that no wise man knew or could interpret among the Babylonians.
Daniel asked the King’s captain for time, which Arioch granted. Daniel used the time to consult with his companions and the gods of heaven to give him an answer. Armed with the revelation of the dream which he received at night in a dream state or vision – a dream of the King’s dream, Daniel asked to be presented before King Nebuchadnezzar.
The Dream
Daniel was brought before King Nebuchadnezzar as a slave, “a man of the captives of Judah” to reveal to the King his own dream and the interpretation thereof which all the wise men of Babylon could not figure out or interpret.
The last thing the king wanted was a slave from his conquered Judah to tell and interpret his own dream, but he had no choice. Had Daniel failed to interpret the dream, he would have been executed on the spot along with all the other wise men, magicians, astrologers, sorcerers and Chaldean magicians of Babylon. The stakes were very high indeed.
Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “The secret which the King hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:”
“Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.”
Enter Saptarishis Astrology
From Saptarishis Astrology we know that gold represents the Sun representing the region of the Earth that lie in the Tropics 30° north and south of the equator. India lies 20° north of the equator at about 77° east. India experienced a Golden Age over 10,000 years ago when the rishis or sages were said to walk the Earth. The breast and arms of silver represents the Moon and northern regions of the world. His belly and thighs of brass is Venus representing the Tropics up to 30° north of the equator wherein India also lies. Legs of iron represent Mars covering the southern regions of the world to include South Pacific, Southern Africa, South America and Australia. Feet that are part iron and part clay speaks more of the Earth, which is relatively close to Mars. The following chart describes these relationships.
Planet or Star | Vedic Grahas | Chakra | Body | Metal | Planet or Star | Region |
Mercury | Budha | Sahasrara | Crown | Quick Silver | Mercury | 30°N – North Pole |
Moon | Chandra | Ajna | Forehead | Silver | Moon | 60°N – 30°N |
Venus | Sukra | Vissuddi | Throat | Copper or Brass | Venus | 30°N – 0°N |
Sun | Ravi | Anahata | Heart | Gold | Sun | Equator |
Jupiter | Guru | Manipura | Solar Plexus | Tin | Jupiter | 30°S – 0°S |
Mars | Kuja | Swadhisthana | Reproductive | Iron | Mars | 60°S – 30°S |
Saturn | Sani | Muladhara | Base of Spine | Lead | Saturn |
30°S – South Pole |
Working through the Chakra system it can be shown that the energy of the Earth is the same as the energy of the human body. Drunvalo Melchizedek says that the “Earth and the human body are almost identical energetically. Every electromagnetic geometrical field within the … field of the Earth is exactly identical to every human being on Earth.” The North Pole represents the crown chakra, Sahasrara or Moon’s North Node, the Dragon’s Head and the South Pole represents the base chakra, Muladhara or Moon South Node, Dragon’s Tail. It should be noted that the shaft or pole of the Earth’s rotational axis is directly related to the flag’s pole that forms the axis of energy around which circles the circumpolar stars of Ursa Minor. The following charts provide a visual presentation of the relationships among the chakra system, human body and major regions of the Earth:
Daniel’s Interpretation
Daniel then proceeded to provide the interpretation of the dream. He explained that through King Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon had achieved a Golden Age. He was the head of gold. 100 years later, India had achieved a Golden Age as well through the Buddha, who introduced Buddhism in India 2,500 miles east of Babylon near Nepal. Hence, the history of India would very much match and follow the pattern set in the rest of the world. On April 21, 1526, Babar invades Delhi to establish the Mughal Empire which lasted 331 years until 1857.
Separated, yet mixed together like potter’s clay and part iron, the subcontinent consisting mostly of Hindus and Muslims would never again fall under a single political power or regime. But such opposing duality exists on almost every continent of the world. In Canada it is the differences between the French and English speaking Canadians, in the USA it is the Black versus the Whites soon to be transformed into Latin Americans versus the rest of America; in Africa it is the Muslims versus the Christians, north versus south and east versus wets and so on and so forth throughout the modern world we find potter’ clay mixed with part iron denying super powers any sense of homogeneity upon which to build a solid base of support or continuity.
This kingdom shall be established only after a stone “uncut by human hand” enters the solar system to smash all the kingdoms of the earth, forming a great mountain. Could this be a comet or large asteroid?
Daniel went on to describe three more kingdoms that would come after Nebuchadnezzar being of silver, bronze and iron ages. Thereafter the fifth kingdom would come represented by the feet and toes made of part potter’s clay and part iron. Daniel explained that this last kingdom shall be divided, being partly strong and partly broken.Daniel explained that the mixing of iron with miry clay meant that the people shall not mix together, that throughout it all they shall maintain their separate culture, religions and identities: “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another.” This has very much been the case since the fall of Babylon. People and cultures in all the major regions of the world have mixed like iron and miry clay do not cleave one to another.
Daniel explained to Nebuchadnezzar that his dream about the things that would happen in the latter days, meaning the end of time. This was about 300 years before Alexander the Great conquered the world and about 2,100 years before the Moghul Empire started in India. The latter days or end of time is associated with the coming of a New Age, Kingdom or World Order, one which Daniel said the God of Heaven would establish upon the Earth. It is not a kingdom that any man or religion will establish says Daniel. This kingdom shall be established only after a stone “uncut by human hand” enters the solar system to smash all the kingdoms of the earth, forming a great mountain. Could this be a comet or large asteroid?
Could Daniel be saying that a stone not cut by human hands that struck the feet of the statue could be a stone or asteroid that will strike the Earth at the end of the Age of Pisces that will destroy all civilizations present and past? It is not a farfetched idea when we examine all the news and information that is being propagated on YouTube, in books and on the internet about Planet X entering our solar system south of the sun by 2012.
David Keys in his book “Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization” argues that a volcano erupted about 556 A.D. that send a great dust cloud into the sky that started the Dark Ages in Europe and gave rise to mass exodus in the Middle East from which Islam rose to conquer much of the Middle East and then known world. The impact in Europe and Meso-America was equally devastating killing millions through disease, famine and hunger. The Chinese claim to have heard a big noise in the east after which the skies darkened. But was it a volcano that erupted in the middle of the 6th Century. Close examination of the evidence or lack thereof makes a strong case that an asteroid was probably the cause of the dust clouds and not a volcano. If this is the case, has King Nebuchadnezzar dream been fulfilled or is this what Planet X promoted by Zecharia Sitchin in his book “The 12th Planet” all about?
Struck By A Mountain
This “great mountain” mentioned by Daniel as part of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in 600 BC provides us with a clue that the time of the end will come after the Earth is struck possibly by a large stone unformed by human hands? Many asteroids and large space objects cross the Earth’s orbit. Not all asteroids are confined to the Asteroid Belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter. There are many Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) that are on the south side of the Sun that modern scientists believe was ejected from the Kirkwood Gaps of the Asteroid Belt that enter orbits that crosses Earth’s own.
More than one asteroid from the Asteroid Belt has crossed the Earth’s orbit. On February 14, 2000, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous probe NEAR-Shoemaker touchdown on a Near Earth Asteroid called Eros. The probe surveyed the Eros for a whole year before being allowed to touchdown on its surface. It found that Eros had a strong gravity that indicated that it is mostly solid. The potato shaped Eros is 31 km (19 miles) and circles the Sun every 1.76 years. Sparrow estimates that there is a one in ten chance that Eros orbit will intercept Earth’s in the next million years.
Is this what Planet X is all about??? If this represents even a fraction of what happened on Mars, no life would remain on planet Earth and like Mars we would lose our atmosphere as well. Are we living on a doomed planet? Is this the reason why the Anunnakis left – they looked into the future and saw no hope for mankind or for life on planet Earth? Let’s examine some more.
The Stone That Tells
Verse 34 of the 2nd Chapter of Daniel is very revealing. It states that “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces.”
According to Daniel, the image of the statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron and mixture of clay and iron represents time periods or epochs of history of all the different empires that would rule the world from the time of Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon in 600 BC to the time of the end. To the trained eyes of an astrologer, this tells us without ambiguity that “the stone” uncut by human hands will arrive to smash all world civilizations during the Age of Pisces on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius. These small bits of information in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which Daniel correctly interpreted, catapults us forward in time to the 21st Century A.D. – the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The stone struck the feet that was a mixture of iron and clay. It is well known in astrology that the feet of the human body represents Pisces and Aquarius represents the ankle.
Could Daniel be saying that a stone not cut by human hands that struck the feet of the statue could be a stone or asteroid that will strike the Earth at the end of the Age of Pisces that will destroy all civilizations present and past? It is not a farfetched idea when we examine all the news and information that is being propagated on YouTube, in books and on the internet about Planet X entering our solar system south of the sun by 2012.
What Is Planet-X?
Is Planet X Nibiru as Zecharia Sitchin claims in his many books on the subject popularized by “The 12th Planet”, “The End of Days” and “The Lost Book of Enki?” Or is Planet X a brown dwarf as some claim? Or going back 2,600 years, is Planet X an asteroid that the Annunakis saw was coming to hit the Earth, so they took off? These questions will be explored next on our journey of understanding the dynamics of Saptarishis Astrology.
