Easter is a religious ‘holiday’ based on astrological principles, occurring always on the Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March solstice. Venus & Vesta explores the origins of Easter.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Before Christian times Easter was a pagan festival as well as Jewish Passover. Now Ramadan, which has been falling back through the calendar each year, is also in time with Easter, so we have the major religions now honouring or celebrating this time of year. I like this because it means they’re all in tune with the Earth’s patterns.
- The chart of the Crucifixion shows important principles that are comparable to our own birth chart. The reason for this is the Jesus had three years of ministry with the Christ energy – an energy that hadn’t previously been on Earth in human form – As this energy was downloaded into Jesus the man’s body it was like nuclear energy and made him weaker and weaker after having performed miracles and had spoken so divinely.
- Deeply esoteric principles are embedded in the Crucifixion and we look at some of the Steiner based teachings that Dr Yubraj Shama has brought to life: “As time went on during the three years the Christ spirit tied itself more and more into the body of Jesus, compressing and contracting himself as it entered”. Because this divine power was becoming more manifest, more earthly, into man the divine powers became lost as the God energies descended fully into human form. This is the process of materialisation and the decline of divine energy as it comes in to manifest our physical form. It reflects the downward arc of evolution to reach the densest point of world evolution which occurred at Golgotha at Easter.
- The Crucifixion chart is comparable with our own Natal Chart and a good meditation is to compare the two and allow this chart to upgrade our own.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Astrology is intrinsic to our place on Earth, not just the seasons but our well-being and our spiritual nature.’
‘Easter always follows the Libra Full Moon which represents ’the other’, and we are encouraged to think beyond ourselves to others.’
‘Easter is the death of Jesus the man, but the entrance of Christ 's energy into earth with his baptism at 30 years old.’
‘The mystery of Golgotha is the death of Jesus the man on the cross, but it’s the conscious birth of the Christ energy into Earth and into all of us, that’s why it relates to our birth charts, it’s us coming into mankind.’
