"PLANETARY ORBITS FOLLOW A SPECIFIC ZODIACAL ORDER"
The orbital paths or planetary circuits of our solar system are highly defined and will allow only certain
planets to occupy them -all according to their ruling signs.
Excellent examples are the four gas giants -Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are the astrological rulers of
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces respectively. It is no coincidence that they follow this order and that
the other planets should also follow suit.
The smaller planets, however, are somewhat out of place, reflecting the chaotic situation of our solar system, but they too
adhere to certain rules.
According to the zodiacal order(Aries,Taurus, Gemini,etc.), Mars(Aries) should be the next planet after Neptune(Pisces)
and Pluto(Scorpio) should be before Jupiter(Sagittarius). What we have instead is a reversal -Pluto is where Mars should
be and Mars is where Pluto should be! If we take the four giants as a guide to what the orbital sequence should be, then
neither Mars nor Pluto are in their true orbital circuits!
There is a solution to this enigma. It's called the DUAL RULERSHIP sign scheme. In the dual rulership scheme(when the modern planets
were unnacounted for), Aries and Scorpio were the day and night or masculine and feminine side of each other, both traditionally ruled
by Mars. Mars then substituted for Pluto. This also true for Jupiter which substituted for Neptune, and for Saturn which substituted for
Uranus. This dual rulership scheme is beautifully demonstrated in the present planetary orbital order of the six outer planets(see diagram below).
![]() In the above diagram, Aries and Scorpio are reversed while the other four signs follow their normal order or succession. The blue ligns show traditional to modern correspondences. Discovery years are included for the modern planets -Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. One can extend this diagram so that the rulers of Taurus/Libra, Gemini/Virgo, and Cancer/Leo fall successively on either side. This is the HELIOCENTRIC orbital blueprint, with the planetoid Chiron appearing to demarcate the visible half of our solar system with the invisible half. The problem is that astrology is concerned with the GEOCENTRIC order of the planets. In the geocentric scheme, our Earth(rather than the Sun) is always the starting point. The next body or planet beyond the Earth is X(unknown body), followed by the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. X or Earth's smaller second moon(or sun) is no longer here, but we may re-acquire it in the not too distant future. Even in the geocentric scheme(using dual rulership) there is an orderly succession of the signs. Earth is Taurus/Libra, X is Gemini/Virgo, Moon is Cancer/Leo, Sun is Leo/Cancer, Mercury is Virgo/Gemini, Venus is Libra/Taurus, Mars is Scorpio/Aries, Jupiter is Sagittarius/Pisces, Saturn is Capricorn/Aquarius, Uranus is Aquarius/Capricorn, Neptune is Pisces/Sagittarius, and Pluto is Aries/Scorpio. In fact, the geocentric scheme is much more workable than the the heliocentric one (see diagram below). |

In the above diagram we are looking at the planets in the order that they appear from Earth. The dual rulership scheme is used as a guide to help determine this order.
Earth, X, and the Moon form the first group, Sun, Mercury, and Venus the 2nd, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the 3rd, and Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto the 4th. There is an unbroken
sign succession from Taurus/Libra to Aries/Scorpio. True rulerships are marked in bold. X and Mercury have not yet been determined.
Astrology is a GREAT KEY to determining the true sequence of planetary orbits, both heliocentrically and geocentrically. |
