Esoteric Astrology is one of the ancient Wisdom Teachings, also called the Esoteric or Metaphysical Sciences, of which there are several; Esoteric Psychology and Sacred Geometry are others.
These teachings were first brought into Western awareness mostly by Madame Helena Blavatsky in the 1800s, then Alice Bailey in the early 1900s and most recently by Dr. Douglas Baker in the 20th Century. SkyDance Astrology is proud to carry on this esoteric tradition and be part of bringing this ancient knowledge into modern day awareness.
While Esoteric Astrology is the major focus we also incorporate the other sciences into our classes. While they are all entangled, Esoteric Astrology is the Keystone of these ancient sciences.
Esoteric Astrology is different from regular astrology because it focuses on big and important questions, rather than everyday occurrences. Regular astrology is useful for everyday concerns, but not as good for deeper understanding. Esoteric Astrology can help us discover a deeper and more profound understanding of ourselves, our purpose, and the universe
When we live our lives according to our personality desires only, traditional astrology suffices. However, as we evolve, expanding our Consciousness and opening up to the reality of the Inner world over the old reality of the outer world, we change.
In ancient days, orthodox (or exoteric, which means “outer”) astrology was that used for the everyday lives of the common people, while Esoteric (“inner” or “spiritual”) astrology was used by the priests and initiates, but with the idea that at some important point in the future, it would be revealed and become accessible to more people. That time was always meant to be the Age of Aquarius. The New Astrology is the Language of the Age of Aquarius.
In the words of Dr. Douglas Baker: “When people tread the Path of Spiritual Unfoldment, the changes that occur within their spectrum of consciousness and to their various subtle bodies are so vast that the planetary rulers no longer remain effective.”
This is a seismic shift! This is a quantum leap forward! Now the onus and the opportunity are yours as you Consciously make your daily choices in accordance with guidance from your Higher Self. This is what Esoteric Astrology can help you do.
Dr. Douglas Baker’s Claregate College originated a new method of interpreting a chart based on the greater questions of, “Who am I?” “Why did I come Here?” and “What is my Purpose while I am Here?” The answers to these questions, provided by an astrologer trained in this scientific AND intuitive methodology offers the means for the personality to integrate with, and work toward the purpose of the Soul.
Baker established Claregate College in 1977 for the purpose of teaching the esoteric sciences, including quantum physics, dark matter, the Seven Rays, and many, many more cutting edge subjects which are also ancient knowledge. His extensive published works are considered the largest by a single author or esoteric subjects anywhere in the world and encompass all of the teachings, of which in his own words: “Esoteric Astrology is the Keystone to all the Wisdom Traditions.”
Esoteric, or Soul’s Purpose Astrology, is based on the premise that your Higher Self, or Soul chose its exact time, circumstances and place to come into this human existence in accordance with its Master Plan. When we begin to seek on a higher level than mere existence, we are entering the domain of Esoteric Astrology. When we consciously decide to align with our Soul and to understand our Higher Purpose, YOU don’t have to do anything; Soul’s Purpose Astrology automatically becomes operative.
