The Scottish mathematician Laurence Edwards discovered in the 1980s that the winter buds of leaf trees are pulsating rhythmically, reflecting the movements of the planets of our solar system. In this way, the oak, for example, particularly responds to the movements and positions of planet mars while beech responds primarily to saturn, birch to venus, and elm to mercury.

Trees are good subjects for testing how planets can have an effect without any knowledge of astrology involved. I learned this from a book called The Spirit of Trees by Fred Hageneder. It includes more information and pictures. It suggests that trees respond to planetary conjunctions, and that different species are ruled by different planets. If this doesn't go a long way to explaining ancient symbolic tree alphabets, then you're just not trying.
The power drain in eastern North America happened on my birthday (on which I began my 23rd year). On that day, I also rode in a car along a street with a blood moon at the end of it. From my personal experience in the recent past, I agree that retrograde Mars indicates cleansing.
On another topic that has come up, we don't know how gravity affects our minds because we don't know how minds manifest physically. Perhaps they are so small or so big that they are particularly sensitive to gravity, or to the gravitational movement of things around them. If our watery brain moves a fraction of a micron due to to Mars' gravity, it might have a huge effect on the mind that visits there (the brain). Also, we understand water very little, and many of its mysteries are tied in with occultism. Why do water molecules form Plantonic solids? Why does water retain "liquid crystal" memory of things dissolved in it? Why does it freeze in lattices? Why is its melting point so high, considering it's such a small molecule? Anyway, the moon's influence could come entirely second-hand from its effects on large bodies of water. In addition, the moon's gravity is most visible in ocean tides, but it bends the solid part of the earth, too.
And on a third topic, I think the stars and planets themselves can affect the personality through perfectly normal sensory means. Cultures, as conglomerations of minds, create mythologies which are often somehow connected with the stars. Assuming that the visible positions of the stars are more fundamental beliefs than any cultural belief, these mythologies must be tailored--to a certain extent--to the preexisting conditions. Thus, the positions of the stars affect cultural mythology. Different cultures, in different parts of the world, will have different mythologies. I would think it obvious that there are more factors at work than the positions of the stars, but I propose that it is one of the influences.
If cultural mythology can be affected by stars, why not personal mythology (personality)? An individual born at a certain time will see the sky in a certain way at a specific time in his or her life. Someone born a day later will see the same sky a day earlier relative to his or her life. If biological clocks are infinitely-but-immesurably precise (quite a presumption, but somewhat plausible considering how rough astrological calculation is), then the exact time of birth would alter the vision of the sky at certain key moments during life. A person will look into the sky during a certain cusp or crisis, and the answers--or further questions--will lie somewhere in the stars. Whether Taurus or Scorpio is staring back at them would alter the way he or she thinks about whatever is on his or her mind. This would explain personality differences based on time of year, time of day, and visible planets (including the sun and moon). It doesn't explain planets beyond Saturn or other non-visible phenomena. |
