Sacred Fire

Usually, fire is male and water is female but on a deeper level, they can switch. Fire becomes the Goddess and is female, water becomes the Lord. The earth which is yin produces fire. Fire on the earth rises toward the sky and the sky which is yang, produces water and a descending flow. This is a cross polarity, an oscillation between male and female. The same happens with our chakras and kundalini. The root chakra, which is earth, produces an upward rising fire, also called shakti, also called kundalini and the crown chakra which is the Lord, produces a downward flow of divine nectar called soma. This is the internal movement of energy, where fire becomes female and water becomes male.

Planets and Astrology

Many astrologers are returning to the old rules of astrology. For the past hundred years, astrologers have tried to prove that astrology is scientific, mainly to save it from being completely outlawed and destroyed. With the coming of the new age, astrology kept getting more complicated and was losing something of its' unique original creation. Many astrologers, myself included, are going back to old rulerships: Jupiter for Pisces, Saturn for Aquarius, and Mars for Scorpio. This gives a balanced yin-yang with the houses. This is not to say Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are not relevant. They are and can easily be read in to a chart, but the seven powers, the seven planets and the nodes are an incredible cosmology. They are messengers of the sky, the seven visible planets. They hold profound keys to the chakras and to the spiritual forces.

Planets

Three planets are male: Sun, Mars, and Jupiter. Sun is the Father,the King. Mars is the Warrior and Jupiter is the Priest.
There are three female planets: Moon, Venus, and Saturn. Moon is the Mother, the Queen. Venus is the Maiden and Saturn is the High Priestess or the Medium.
The seventh planet is Mercury, Lord of the Crossroads. Mercury is a hermaphrodite and represents equally the coming together and the separating of the male and female dynamic. These polarities are inside of us. When we are left-brain, objective, we are in our male self and when we are in our subjective and emotional side, we are in our female self. Those moments that we are perfectly blended, right and left brain, we can be at one with the divine. This is the Holy Spirit moving within.

Planetary deities

Two of the planets are called luminaries: the sun and moon. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are actually planets. The nodes are points on the elliptic. For convenience sake, they are called the 9 planets. They are the planetary deities that speak for the sky. One speaks to them using forms of astrology and also meditation. They are relevant and important but of course the sky is God and can correct any negative aspect.The planets are messengers of the Great Spirit, the sky.

Planets

Saturn, Mars, Sun, and the nodes are called malefic. This is because they are more intense and can show difficulty in a reading. Jupiter and Venus are benefic and usually show things being easy-going without too much problem.
