Re: Where do the meanings of the Outer Planets originate?

Hi All, surprised no one has mentioned The Light of Egypt written by Thomas H. Burgoyne in 1889. In Volume I he describes Uranus, Neptune and a 'missing' 10th planet which, he said, "symbolizes the missing soul within the the human constitution". You can find the descriptions on p270-273.

Burgoyne was a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, he was not a Theosophist; in fact, Blavatsky was hostile towards the brotherhood from the moment they appeared.

What Burgoyne says can be related somewhat to what Edgar Cayce said about Pluto and developing spiritual awareness. The Light of Egypt sounds somewhat familiar, but the book isn't in my library. Thanks for the reference, Jane.

The astrological view of Pluto today is often negative and Mars-like in effect. Have astrologers been missing the boat on Pluto?

Hi Therese,

Elbert Benjamine said Pluto was the upper octave of the Moon, not Mars. "Pluto is the octave of the Moon, transmitting an influence that is forceful and compelling. The domestic impulses are expanded to embrace a larger group." His basic description of the planet is:
Pluto, the higher octave of the Moon, is a social planet, and a convertible planet,
expressing either a harmonious or a discordant influence according to the aspects
received from other planets. Like the number 10, which starts a new numerical cycle,
Pluto is a transitional influence, and more than any other planet may express in either
of two diametrically opposite qualities. He may express positively and electrically,
but his more common influence is negative and magnetic. In human anatomy he rules
the spiritual body. In his influence over the human mind he rules that group of mental
factors designated as the Universal Welfare Urges. They relate to groups,
cooperation, the inner-plane, hidden forces, inversion, the inside of things, mass
production, and to aggressive spiritual activity. The Lower-Pluto forces are
drastically insidious and destructive, the Upper-Pluto forces are the finest and most
spiritual of all. Not the individual who instigates the action, but the victim of
coercion, has this planet prominent. To such events as he attracts, or to which he
contributes, he adds a drastic quality. Pluto is the inner-plane planet and the planet of
Transition ESP. His nature is best expressed in one word as COOPERATION.
Personally, I've always found this group oriented description to be more workable than the Pluto-Mars pairing.

I really love him!
