Esoteric Astrology is Volume III of A Treatise on the Seven Rays. In this book, astrology is described the science of relationships--the relationship existing between all living organisms within the universe. Not only the qualities of the ray energies affect these centres of consciousness, but also the quality and energy of the ruling planets and the zodiacal signs. Seen from the exoteric outside, astrology is a vast and most involved and complex subject. From the esoteric inside, while it is still vast, all-inclusive and complex. It is also possible to perceive the thread which unites and the pattern which prevails throughout the whole system. A basic simplicity in the grand design emerges, therefore, which can serve to interpret the whole. The appendix summarises and tabulates many factors of fundamental importance to the study of esoteric astrology.

About the Author
*Alice A. Bailey, (1880-1949) From her conservative British background, Alice Bailey's life led her in many directions, but always in one direction--towards the time when through drastic personal experience of many kinds she had acquired a synthesis of outlook and understanding, and an absolute conviction that one divine life pervades and animates the one humanity; that the Plan for humanity requires the cooperation and service of trained and dedicated human beings intelligently informed about world affairs, in collaboration with those who form the spiritual Hierarchy, the inner government of the planet. Her life work became an integral part of this synthesis and this realization. Without in the least losing any of her very human qualities and involvement, her soul took up its commitment to her Master, and her personality provided full cooperation in the field of her accepted service. Basically her work developed as a duality--her discipleship service which included the establishment of an esoteric school; and her initially reluctant agreement to work with the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul, in the writing of a series of books presenting the next phase in the continuity of the Ageless Wisdom teaching. A total of twenty-four books were written by Alice Bailey. These books constitute a continuation of the Ageless Wisdom, a body of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to precede and condition the New Age, the Alice Bailey books offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to the teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and the new psychology of the soul; and the common thread of truth linking all the major world faiths. In addition to her work as an author and lecturer, Alice Bailey established the Lucis Publishing Company, making the teachings of Djwhal Khul available to spiritual seekers and students around the world for over 75 years. Reprinting of the books is financed through a revolving Fund under the administration of the Lucis Trust, a non-profit organization also founded by Alice A. Bailey. No royalties are paid and copyrights are owned by the Lucis Trust. Through these organizations, Alice Bailey provided for the continued publication of these teachings beyond her physical lifetime

Format:Paperback
This book was given to me by an astrologer. He understood the complexities contained therein. I'm in my 5th reading and I still have much to learn since astrology is not my forte. Yet, with each reading I absorb a bit more about the Logos, the Will of God, the hidden Light of God and the Life of Light... Slowly, I experienced self-consciousness as a necessary step in man's evolution. Recognition of the Christ life and nature, as it expresses itself in daily living to the aspirant was seen to happen in my life in the hope that awareness as lived by the initiate will eventually be mine. A book to be read, re-read and lived. A book to pick up often, daily, for many years to come.

When I first looked at this book, I found I didn't understand it at all. It took me a few years to begin to get into it...then it opened up to me and I couldn't put it down. I'm a professional astrologer now and I keep coming back to this Master work and get more out of it every time. This is one you'll have on your bookshelf for many years. My advice is to savor it slowly. Enjoy!

One of my favorite books ! Real astrology is not about wining the lottery or finding a good spouse. It's about the unfoldment of awareness, personally, and cosmically. The symbolism involved in esoteric astrology is incredibly profound and tells the story of creation, of psyche, of the creation, and of the soul's journey. There is a very good reason human beings have studied the stars and cosmos for many thousands of years. The stars and cosmos are our home, and we are bathed 24/7 in various kinds of light and cosmic energies, subtle influences around us and from the beyond. We cannot see the energy most of the time, but it's there. The universe is very complicated, but incredibly profound and awesome. This book contains an incredible amount of wisdom and needs to be absorbed slowly over time. The author states the astrology is the science of relationships ( no, not your spouse or lover ). It's about how various kinds of energy interact in a mathematical and geometric way, to create the whole universe in which we live, to allow consciousness to have a vehicle, from a galaxy, to a star, to a planet, and to a person. On a personal level, that of our soul, there is wisdom to be gained by knowing what influences are pouring into our psyche, and how we can respond to them in such a way as to expand our awareness and make the most of our lives. This book is part of a large series by the same author(s), and I recommend all of them. In particular, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, and The Light of the Soul. Read this book multiple times, and practice meditation along with the reading. You will be amazed at the insights you gain. I wore my first copy heavily, so now I have 2. If you are not a believer in astrology you will change your views if you understand the content. If you already know and believe in astrology, you will never look at it the same after reading this book.

The master work on astrology, now updated and made more understandable by Dr. Douglas Baker's work of the same name, available from Baker Publications in England. Put Baker's Dictionary of Astrology with it and you can comprehend true astrology for the first time, and forever.

Philosophy, cosmology, and transpersonal psychology
Esoteric Astrology is not very much about astrology in the conventional sense. It is really a book of esoteric philosophy, cosmology, and psychology in the transpersonal sense. Read more
