Astrology & Christmas
Birthday Bash Wishing all "Sagittarians" a very happy birthday.
Click here to have a look at the back issues of our monthly astrology newsletter. Did you know that... The twelve disciples of Christ are identified with the twelve signs of the zodiac. We still find traces of this in Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of "The Last Supper," which was produced between 1495 and 1498. Here the twelve disciples are represented with characteristic markings and gestures of the twelve zodiac signs.
The
Birth chart of Jesus Christ Contemporary astrologers have worked out the date and time of Jesus’ birth by combining historical, Biblical and astrological information. They have concluded that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Judea on March 1, 7 BC (Julian) at 1:30 AM. This birth chart has a six planet stellium in Pisces with five oppositions to Pluto and five trines to Neptune. This makes Jesus a super Pisces which correlates with the fact that for the first 300 years of the Christian era, the symbol of Christianity was not a cross, but a fish, the symbol of Pisces. A
stellium in Pisces in the third house is an indication of
extreme focus, genius and brilliancy in the area of spiritual
matters with strong emphasis on compassion and communication.
The oppositions to Pluto indicate the ability to transform
others with compulsion which may be why he was crucified.
The trines to Neptune indicate great kindness, highly developed
psychic ability and miraculous healing powers. Sagittarius
rising signifies a love of freedom and spiritual truth,
and the ability to teach.

Astrology in Christianity Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) explained the relationship of Christianity and astrology. According to him, the heavenly bodies affect the physical condition of humans and the sensual inclinations. Every worldly bond is determined by the heavenly bodies. However, every human has also the possibility to avoid the influences of the celestial bodies. The more he overcomes sensual inclinations, makes use of his reason, and devotes himself to God, the better is he able to master the passions and with them the influence of the stars. |

How
Christmas came into being... Key times for celebration in ancient Roman period were the cardinal points of the seasons, the solstices in June and December and the equinoxes in March and October. These periods measured seasons, the sowing and reaping of crops. The solstice at Christmas time marks the entry of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn whose Lord is Saturn. On this day the Sun appears to halt over the tropic of Capricorn for three days and then begins its journey North. For the ancient Romans, Saturnalia was joyous celebration of the Saturn God. At some point in time, the holy day of Saturnalia had also been tied into being a celebration of the rebirth of the Sun - and, as such, Saturnalia was held each year about the time of the "winter solstice." In 4th Century AD, the Roman emperor at the time "officially" reset Saturnalia to be celebrated on December the 25th Shortly thereafter, the Church Fathers likewise set the official date for celebrating the birth of Jesus as being December the 25th. Jesus was born on March 1st in the year 7 BC, at 1:21 a.m. in Bethlehem. The birth chart for this moment in time contains a cluster of six planets in Pisces: the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. With all this Pisces energy, Jesus was highly spiritual, compassionate, and willing to sacrifice himself for others. |
