Feature Information Pages Traditional or Classical astrology works quite well for the most part but does not include the later discoveries of the astronomers. The invisible planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto address and represent aspects of modern human experience that did not exist in the classical period. There is a much better understanding of stellar mechanics and the behavior of comets and meteors and of the universe in general. Modern astrologers however, have become faddish and abandoned theory for a completely empirical approach with the notable exceptions of Ebertin, Johndro, and Barbault. The approach we take integrates modern discoveries in a classical context which extends traditional theory in light of modern scientific theories and discoveries. Fusion astrology preserves the rigor and reliability of classical theory while integrating the more recently discovered planets, cosmobiological and other indexes, the relativity theory geodetic coordination systems based on the fixed stars, and the concepts and tools of statistics ( a discipline which was formally recognized at the discovery of Pluto in 1930) . It also pays particular attention to the cosmic wildcards represented by novas, comets and meteors consistently integrating their significance as well. Modern popular astrology often dwells excessively on the psychological and sacrifices the power of concise prediction on the altar of absolutely free will. Fusion and Classical astrology recognize the Will and support its fulfillment in the determination of timed and informed action, they also recognize that elements of Fate and Fortune are involved as well. Optimizing opportunities is a primary function of astrology whether in unraveling the outcome of a question or determining how to make the best use of a birth chart or suggesting strategies to remedy its defects. Of course all forms of astrology rest on an implicit cosmology and related philosophical perspective. For the classicists this is primarily neoplatonism and the concept of the Great Chain of Being perhaps also influenced by the Kabbalists and Pythagoreans. For the moderns it is empirical science, parascience, modern psychology and existentialism. Fusion astrology relies on an updated cosmological Qaballa and a refinement and extension of classical theories in light of modern science with a distinctly alchemical flavor. Why should the underlying philosophy and cosmological models be of any great interest, one might ask. The basis of astrology is an almost holographic correspondence theory - each part of the universe reflects the whole. The significance of the parts and their modes of interaction in the larger universe of stars, planets, and such has definite correspondence with events on smaller scales. These can be observed in the reflections of these events for the individual, the business, the city, the state. Astrology considers the smaller universe to carry the pattern of the larger at the time it comes into being. We can trace the beginnings of classical astrology to about 400 BCE although its roots go back much further. The refinement of classical to traditional or Renaissance astrology to the Thirty Years War period (1618-1648). Modern astrology dates from the Victorian era around the beginning of the 20th century. Johndros fixed star theory dates from 1929. Wittes Uranian school (the precursor to cosmobiology) dates from the 1920s. Cosmobiology dates from 1942 with Ebertins escape from Nazi Germany. Fusion astrology dates from the nova of 1987. There are also novas in 1604 connected with Renaissance astrology and in 1942 connected with cosmobiology. Novas, as may be noted in the section on portents, are often connected with a paradigm shift; that is we see and interpret the world differently after a major nova than we did before. Very often this results in breakthroughs in thinking, social norms, and technology. These are the beginnings of the major Western schools of astrological thought and some notes on their underlying philosophies. They all rely as do non-western schools such as the Vedic or the Chinese, on the notions of correspondence theory and cosmology. Their underlying philosophies do color their interpretations and sometimes affect their accuracy. There is also sometimes a danger or benefit in the generation of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The primary approach used here is fusion, but other perspectives are available and there are links to some especially good astrologers of other schools. See our Astro Links and Services to Astrologers . Cosmology, Qaballa, and AstrologyCorrespondence theory and the reflection of the whole in its parts is the foundation of astrological theory grounded in cosmology. The cosmological models used are typically an abstract representation of the cosmos that associate planets, numbers and concepts with and among one another. These models are an abstract of the features and functional principles of the cosmos. Originally these models were used in the context of mysticism and language. While they are still useful in that regard, our focus here will be the astrological and tarotic correspondences. In other words on their use for philosophical, predictive and magical purposes. In the West, there are four main models for correspondence theory with many variants and derivatives. There is the Hebrew version known as the Tree of Life, a primarily Greek view based on spheres or Aeons - neoplatonist and gnostic models are good examples, a Thelemic view known as the Trees of Eternity, and the fusion view which is based on the Hebrew tree but extended with modern discoveries and adapted especially to astrology. These are all, after a fashion, variants on the theme of the known physical and metaphysical universe. There are also Taoist and Vedic views, but here we focus on the western conceptions. Of course, it must be recognized that over time these systems have affected each other and all refer to the same reality from different perspectives. The view used here is Fusion, for a presentation of that view see The Fusion Tree . Visit the Astrology and Qaballa page for more details and for notes on polarities and related topics. Fixed Stars and PortentsAlthough there are more books coming out on the fixed stars these days, none that I know of treat portents (novas, comets, and meteors). We adopt a somewhat Chinese view of the Heavens with the stars as the principal seats of power or energy in the Celestial Empire with the constellations representing the provinces or nations, the planets as their governors, and the portents as special messengers, agents, and the decrees they bring. Novas, as a study of history shows, represent paradigm shifts. The shorter term novas, such as 1975 Cygni, are often associated with small but important breakthroughs and major shifts in political fortune. Longer term novas, especially supernovas, are more often associated with massive shifts in consciousness and organization. The earthshaking changes associated with the supernovas of 1572, 1604, and 1987 support this view. As we begin to consider Great Changes, time and the study of history in light of astrology becomes the key factor. Our approach to the philosophy of history and that suggested by cycles of aspects between any two bodies, is neo Hegelian. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis resulting from the cyclic interaction of any two factors. This is also close to the alchemical view of 3 basic elements (Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt) and the Celtic emphasis on 3 forces as symbolized in the triskelion. Visit our Stars and Portents page for further information. Business and Financial AstrologyFinancial markets and investments are a mysterious business. They are affected by public mood swings, changes in availability and political events. We combine knowledge of the markets with horary astrology as an aid to your financial decisions. We do not sell securities or offer investment properties or vehicles for purchase which we feel might represent a conflict of interest. Our advice is based on your personal circumstances as reflected by your natal chart and charts for financial issues of concern to you (horaries). Le Rose Blanche Financial provides conventional business services and private fund management. Please Contact us for further information.

Resource Links for Entrepreneurs & Web Designers Astrological ServicesThe natal or birth chart is, in terms of astronomy and mathematics, a map of the heavens at the time an individual or other entity, is born or otherwise manifested on earth. In the future as we expand beyond the confines of planet Earth and live in other environs of the Solar System, astrology will be no less valid. The same Star will illuminate the day and the same stars and comets will still be visible. Of course there will need to be some fancy mathematics to adjust the coordinates for local perspective and there will be the consideration of one or more moons or none at all. The basic significance of the visible planets and of the invisibles will remain as will their dignities as these are based on a solar zodiac and the seasonal rhythms of our birth world. Moving out beyond the Solar System will present some new challenges. Although the fixed stars will remain constant in significance, new and alien systems of planets will need to be considered and modeled. It may be that something similar to our cosmological models can be adapted or we may have to begin afresh. There is little doubt that we will take our 'antiquarian' interests in spirit, fate, and will with us to the stars. We are all curious about our fates and how they might be changed. The natal chart is a way to explore this. A life, with it's opportunities, liabilities, and options, is a vast matter to describe. Every man and every woman is a star. Each of us is infinite and multifaceted. The natal chart can be used to explore this in ourselves and in others. It gives insight into why we do the things we do and, often, suggests ways we could do them better. But it is not only a psychological study, it also outlines the major events we can expect to deal with and explores our spiritual nature and the constitution of our physical bodies. It can help us to understand and sometimes to remedy difficult times and to take advantage of opportunities in good or bad times. For those who know something of astrology, we offer a targeted and current analysis pointing out the stresses and opportunities and the better and worse periods to take action. For this we use the natal chart, directions, transits, and a Solar Return with an interpretation based on a fusion of classical and modern methods. For those new to astrology, we suggest beginning with a low cost prepared thematic report. If this whets your appetite for more and better, then we suggest an introductory professional chart reading based on major significators ( i.e.the lights, the lord of the ascendant, the almutem figuris, and the chief dispositors with consideration of the fixed stars, current portents, and currently emphasized houses). The prepared report is available as our Automated Chart and Report Service - priced from $2 to $20 depending on the precision of your information Speaking of the precision of information, it is sometimes found that the recorded time from hospital and other official sources is not correct. There is also the problem of home births, births during unsettled conditions (for example in time of war or natural disaster), and adoption. As a remedy to these problems and to insure that we are working with accurate information, we offer rectification or the finding of the time of birth from later events in the life and the appearance and observed nature of the native or entity. Usually at the beginning of a delineation or analysis we ask a few questions to verify the time. For uncertain birth times, please contact us with initial information. For a detailed chart analysis and other consultations see our personal services page. Contact us for more information and pricing. For us to provide the analysis, you must provide the initial information as to the particulars of birth. To begin the process submit your information on our Radical Chart Information forms page and Contact us with a short note including any additional information you think pertinent and feel free to ask any relevant questions. Questions and ElectionsHorary charts and methods are used to answer particular questions. Elections and their methods are used to select the best times to do or start something. These charts can be very useful in business and personal planning. " There is a tide in the affairs of men which, if taken at the flood ..." Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, act IV scene 3. Begin the process by asking your question or indicating the enterprise you wish a best time to start by contacting us and fill in our Entry form for Horary Chart Information. Pricing begins at $50. Mundane AstrologyMundane astrology seeks to understand and predict political, economic, meteorological, and geological trends and events. The key figures in this process are the Ingresses or beginnings of the seasons, lunations - especially eclipses, the cycles of aspect among the planets, and from unexpected events such as the appearance of comets, novas, and bright meteor showers. <note archive, links, mundane info page with site links> On the more technical side, following the methods of L. Edward Johndro <insert link> and the methods of mundane astrology, events on the Earth can be very precisely located. The nature of these events is seen in the cycle of aspects from a mundane or geopolitical viewpoint after Andre Barbault <insert link> and in pertinent traditional mundane charts, in natal charts for individuals and businesses, and when they configure them in horaries and elections, comets and novas. These more modern methods are used in a traditional context Questions about politics, economics, and the weather can often be answered, as they pertain to an individual, by means of an horary. When a wider overview is required for planning on a larger scale, mundane figures are a better choice. There is more work involved and we assume that the information is needed to satisfy more than idle curiosity. The methods of Andre Barbault and L .Edward Johndro are brought to bear along with the usual fusion methods as they pertain to mundane maps. Prices are negotiable as this type of for analysis usually requires several related charts. Please Contact us for further details. Astrological Magic and the Timing of RitesThe notion of the effective timing of operations and for the construction of artefacts, potions, etcetera has been around for a long time. There are presently at least four distinct approaches. These include the Electional, the Reverse Horary, the Lunar Mansion, and the Intuitive. The last method is not strictly speaking astrological, nor can it be easily described, other than to say that it is very subjective and depends heavily on the attunement of the person making the choice. The other three tend to run together a bit with moderns often preferring the Reverse Horary method for its simplicity and traditionalists preferring the Electional due to its reliance on traditional methods. Both and other groups use the Mansions but do not always agree on what constitutes a mansion or where it is exactly. It should also be noted that certain religious and magical associations and lodges use the cyclic conjunctions of selected planetary pairs such as Sun/Mercury and Sun/Venus for their major Rites adjusting the exact timing by either electional or reverse horary methods. Some artisans rely almost exclusively on planetary days and hours and some neo-pagan groups on the Moon or selected days of the year alone. Here we use both the Electional and Reverse Horary methods in the context of a fusion view of methods and correspondence. We also offer a full line of traditional lunar mansion and planetary telesma. We are developing our talisman service. Presently we offer lunar mansion and planetary talisman in paper format. Talisman in metal and other media are in development. Elections for rites and assistance in planning ceremonies and operations from Thelemic and Traditional perspectives are also available. We have some experience with neopagan and Renaissance European traditions and continue to work with English Qaballa . There is a high degree of individual content in these works so we begin with the natal or birth chart and require a clear statement of intent. For further details Contact us or visit Christopher Warnock's Rrenaissance Astrology site. Our prices range from 'do-it-yourself' instructions and chart for $50 to a complete set of charts and commentary with talisman for a negotiable fee. Those wishing to study Traditional Astrological Magic are referred to the courses offered by Christopher Warnock on his Astrological Magic page . I don't know if those who have been experimenting with Reverse Horary methods in the UK offer any courses but I do know they've done a lot of research. Check out The British Journal of Thelema (BJT) if you can find it. See our English Qaballa and Wakanaba Page for an introduction to a related magical tool.
