Planets work as collectives. They are are huge storehouses of knowledge and activity on both the physical and none-physical planes. Everything you think, feel, or do is stored in the planetary fields(akashic records) for future reference. We have our own personal storehouse of knowledge and activity called the aura or auric field with its planetary centers called chakras. These centers are magnetically linked to the planets of our solar system and work through the body's glands regulating the way we function. The way a planet, chakra, or gland functions depends on its zodiacal nature and how it interacts with the whole. People with similar planetary positions in their chart show similar ways of acting or reacting, as they are all drawing from the same source. There are twelve main storehouses(planets/worlds) in our particular cosmos from which to draw upon and twelve different planes or fields per world, for a total of 144 specific time-space archetypes. While each of us has all 144 archetypes within our essence only 12 of these are activated per lifetime according to our time and place of birth. In other words, our twelve planetary positions at birth give us access to twelve specific archetypes or universal group attributes. We draw from or add to these archetypes throughout our lifetimes. If you have the archetype known as the Sun in Leo, for example, you are drawing your expression from all of the Sun in Leo people who have ever lived up to your time, and will contribute your own particulars to that universal fund. In a way this makes each of the twelve planets in our solar system our twelve-fold Oversouls, with the system itself being the One Great Oversoul. What makes this really interesting is that when any two archetypes or planetary positions are interacting, they are largely(and subconciously) doing so as collectives. A Sun in Leo can't help feeling tension with a Sun in Taurus or Scorpio because that's the way it's been throughout history. At some point in our earliest history those paticular energy fields clashed -and you know what they say about first impressions. There are times however, throughout our history, when supposedly antagonistic energies try to co-exist peacefully and even productively if not harmoniously, and this is never forgotten. That is why, on occasion you'll see two conflicting signs or charts getting along. Of course, the level of maturity or evolvement of the individuals concerned is a major factor as well. I have seen, for example, certain solar Scorpions and Aquarians mysteriously drawn together because of the efforts of other individuals with the same configuration in the past. The Demi Moore/ Ashton Kutcher case is a classic. I know of several other such relationships where the older was a Scorpio woman and the younger an Aquarian man. The funny thing is you don't have to rely on the past efforts of others to make something like this happen. The universe is very forgiving and obliging and if you make an effort to get along with someone who is astrologically incompatible, the effect will reverberate powerfully, clearing the road for others as well. On the other hand, perpetuating or further antagonizing an already difficult astrological combination, will of course have the opposite effect. When it comes to collective influencing, what is important is the basic energy exchange rather than the particulars. In a fight between two people, for example, it is not their names or ages or even the clothes they wear that will be remebered. These are physical particulars which will fade or dissolve in the root akashic. What will remain is the feeling or emotion of the situation. This is what needs to be changed or transmuted in order for forgiveness to occur. At the root astral level we are all colors and lights and basic shapes and energies. Were this not so, change or forgiveness would be practically impossible. The more superficial layers of the astral contain more detail, such as in our dreams, but even these are highly malleable and fluctuating. Astrology is neither moral nor immoral. It is an objective tool reflecting what is. It's effect is strongest at the subconcious level, where is which we mostly operate from. That is why astrology has so much power. We are very Neptunian-type beings. Sleep occupies one third of our day and the rest of the time we are in a semi-concious state. This powerful subconcious state is why we tend to attract the same people and situations throughout our lives, and astrology is the system or framework behind it all. If astrology did not exist there would be no order or meaning in the universe. Astrology works through the principle of collectivity. From the center of the wheel of creation to its periphery it's a stepdown process; full collective conciousness at the center and increasingly fragmented conciousness towards the periphery. It also works of course from the macro to the micro levels: universal, galactic, stellar, planetary, group, individual, organic, cellular, molecular, atomic, electronic, and sub-electronic conciousness. The planetary pattern at birth fixes the genetic pattern at birth and both yield valuable imformation on the native. Since it is easier to see the planets or heavenly bodies, it has become the primary method of prognostication. The center or inner sun of a planet is its oversoul. It is like a giant organic computer containing all the records of itself, the planet, and its lifeforms, and it is here where we go to at death before reincarnating elsewhere. If the Earth's hollow shell and its lifeforms are destroyed they can be recreated through its inner sun, and if this inner sun is destroyed it can be recreated through our solar system sun and so on -thanks to the process of collective memory. Nothing is lost forever. The universe is an ever-expanding library of records, and we will one day learn to access any part of it. You are currently adding to Earth's own unique library principally via your astrological rising sign(your "Earth" sign) and in tandem with the other planets in your chart. With its vast variety of races and cultures imported from all parts of the galaxy. Earth is destined to become an important universal library or showcase. Our planet and the galactic center are intimately linked through the sign of Libra. As the planet's mind cells, it is our duty to help uplift it to its destined status as a center of beauty and knowledge which it once was at the height of Atlantis. In summary, every planet has its own unique history of which you may have been part of, and it's all recorded and personally expressed through our planetary positions at birth. There are 144 such positions and each encapsulates a particular time/place/reality or collective in history from which we constantly draw upon or add to during the course of our lives. Each of us has direct or subjective access to only 12 such positions per lifetime, but can experience the rest, albeit objectively or indirectly, via our relationships with others. In this manner we are all linked and constantly reliving or even modifying ancient attitudes and impulses. History is alive and well in every one of us via the collective planetary process.
