1Such are the sublime facts of Nature’s immutable law, that have made the science of astrology true for all time and in all ages. When Uranus and Neptune were shining in their distant heavens un¬ discovered, mankind was, as a body, impervious to their action. Man’s organism did not vibrate in unison with their higher state of action. Thus we see, as man evolves higher powers, more ethereal orbs ap¬ pear in the celestial hierarchies of the starry heavens for the purpose of controlling and directing him. The action and inter-action of the planetary influences operate in the following order;—Saturn ( ), Jupiter ( U ), Mars ( $ ), Sun (©), Earth (®), Venus ( 2 ), and Mercury ( 9 ). These are the seven pri¬ maries. Then comes Uranus ( W ), forming the eighth, or octave expres¬ sion of the first, or Mercury, and thus do we find, after long years of re¬ search and laborious investigation, that this planet rules the higher organs of the brain. Neptune, consequently, represents Venus upon a higher plane. The Earth, whose influence is shown by the Moon, comes next in rotation. When the tenth planet is discovered, its ac¬ tion upon our Earth’s inhabitants will be neutral in itself. Its har¬ monies and discords will depend upon its angular position in respect zed jy Google THE SOLAR FORCE 217 to the other bodies. Its chief influence will be in the control of our
2spiritual life forces. Its position, aspect, etc., with respect to the lu¬ minaries, will determine our capacity for inhaling the finer ethereal essences of the atmosphere. From this it will be perceived that the influence of the tenth planet will be wholly spiritual; hence, it can only exert its influence upon the spiritual organisms of a more spiritual race. This chapter contains a brief outline, so to speak, of the interior action of the planets. We shall deal with each orb more fully and in detail from their general standpoint in future lessons, and as a con¬ cluding suggestion we would ask the student to think and reason out very closely what we have herein stated by the light of the law of correspondence, the sum and substance of which was formulated for our use by the thrice illumined Hermes Trismegistus, who said: "As it is above, so it is below. As on the earth, so in the sky.” 218 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT Astro-Phrenological Chart, Showing the General Planetary Influence upon the Human Brain, CHAPTER III INFLUENCE OF STELLAR FORCE
3Having briefly explained, in the previous chapter, the origin, na¬ ture and power of planetary influence, so far as the planets themselves are concerned, it now becomes our duty to illustrate, somewhat, the principles laid down, and point out the laws or modus operandi by which these influences act and react upon the brain of man, and through the brain, control the whole organism. In order to do this we shall have to digress a little. Phrenological research has now established beyond dispute cer¬ tain broad general principles regarding cranial development. But, the great mistake which the devotees of this branch of Anthropology make, is that they allow their enthusiasm to carry them beyond the safe line of demonstrated facts. They are constantly trying to prove that, by the aid of phrenology, they can ascertain the details of man’s character; whereas, the very utmost that can be expected as scientific¬ ally accurate, is a delineation of the general characteristics.
