Senior Extension Astrology Course

Dear Friend,

We are happy to have your request for our Astrology course. Our three courses in Astrology are

based on the Teachings as given to humanity by the Brothers of the Rosicrucian Order through The

Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception and the personal investigations of Max Heindel, their Messenger.

In order to realize the most benefit from our Astrology courses we suggest you study our

Preliminary Philosophy Course consisting of twelve lessons. The Preliminary Philosophy Course must

be completed by regular mail one lesson at a time. We hope that the understanding of life and its

problems offered by this course will bring you much comfort and joy.

A New Age is dawning, and wonderful opportunities await those who understand and cooperate

with the cosmic forces operating to break humanity's bond of materialism and usher in a new order

with higher spiritual concepts. As we bring ourselves into harmony with these forces, we not only

greatly hasten our own progress, but make it possible for us to aid in the great work of uplifting all

humanity.

These lessons are not sold. The Rosicrucian Teaching is free, but the expenses incidental to

their production and website distribution are met by free-will offerings from students "as the heart

dictates and the means permit." However, all receive the same teaching and attention even though

circumstances may be such that some are unable to assist in supporting the work.

We would love to be able to provide personal one-on-one instruction to all who are interested in

our courses, but our resources do not allow this. Therefore, this study course is set up as a college-

type self-study course where the student becomes his own teacher. Answers to all questions are

given in the back of the booklet. Please do not send your individual lesson answers to us.

Please feel that we are your friends, and that we consider it a pleasure and a privilege to assist

you in any way possible to live the higher life, which leads to true happiness and spiritual unfoldment.

We send our best wishes for your spiritual progress.

Yours in service,

The Rosicrucian Fellowship,

Education Department

Senior Extension Astrology Course

Lesson No. 1

Student’s Letter

Dear Friend,

You have completed our Junior and Senior Courses in Astrology, and we now offer you, as an

earnest student, this Senior Extension Course in delineation, progression, transits, etc.

As you pursue your study of the marching orbs, wherein the great and admirable works of the

invisible and all-glorious God are so manifestly apparent, cultivate an attitude of adoration of the

divine essence in all life and a thankfulness to God for your existence. Be humble and let no natural

knowledge, however profound and transcendental it may be, elate your mind, or withdraw you from

your duty to God and to the service of humanity.

The more that knowledge is enlarged by the divine science of Astrology, the more will you

magnify the power and wisdom of the Almighty God, if you do not prostitute it for material gain, self-

aggrandizement, or personal exploitation.

If there are selfish motives behind your interest in Astrology, the moment you practice the

Science with such motives, at that moment will your powers be withdrawn, and your ability to read the

horoscope taken away from you. From that time on you will only scratch the surface. The inner,

hidden meaning will remain undisclosed.

High truths are not suitable for low and profane practices, such as the using of Astrology for

monetary gain. Remember, dear student, that when you gaze on a horoscope, you look into the

innermost secrets of a soul, so beware, lest you treat it lightly and profane that which God creates.

The holier you are, the nearer you approach God in your religious duties, the purer judgment will

you be able to give those who seek your help and assistance.

The divine and sacred Science of Astrology has been sadly degraded into superstition by

soothsayers and erectors of horoscopes all during the middle and modern ages up to the present

period where the peak has been reached of misconception, misunderstanding and stupidity, by those

least qualified to practice it. Only in the ancient times was it practiced and treated as a divine

attainment.

Also remember that one cannot be a true astrologer unless one has a thorough comprehension of

the spiritual side of life, gleaned through an understanding of the Bible, as taught by those capable of

correctly interpreting it. Study The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, therefore if you wish to become a

true astrologer, because it will help you to understand this divine Book, besides explaining in a

clarified manner the invisible workings of God and Nature.

Nothing is indifferent in Nature. A stone upon a road may break or modify profoundly the destinies

of the greatest men or of the greatest empires.

Each star in the celestial spaces has its direct and indirect influence upon each human ego. The

stars are bound to one another by the attraction which holds them in equilibrium and causes them to

move with uniformity through space. From all spheres unto all spheres there stretch these

indestructible networks of light and there is no point upon any planet to which one of them is not

attached.

It will often be found that one part of a delineation will be apparently in direct contradiction to a

statement made in another part of the same delineation. To the thinking person such contradictions,

such paradoxes, are easily recognizable, therefore easily reconcilable.

In every phase of nature are to be found these manifold differences. In some phases near the

surface and quickly discernible, and in other phases so deeply embedded as to be almost impossible

to discover and uproot.

Some persons are parsimonious in the household and extravagant in business; others, large-

handed at home and niggardly at the office. Why? Diversity of character and personality so necessary

to soul-growth.

Senior Extension Astrology Course

All life is paradoxical, contradictory, ever-changing, and manifests under the material guise of

untold and innumerable parts and phases.

Good and bad are purely relative terms. In reality, all is good. What is bad is self generated and

good in the making. A horoscope is not necessarily good because its portents so imply. Sometimes it

is the very reverse, for it is in the struggle of life that we develop strength. So few of us are strong

enough to stand prosperity.

In a nativity that promises too much good and happiness there lurk the snares of indolence,

laziness, mental and spiritual lethargy, waste, materialism, luxury and ease; so that a person does not

exert himself and becomes driftwood upon the ocean of life. Another who has what we term a very

afflicted radix, is roused by the adverse conditions and by sheer force of Will conquers himself and

becomes master of his destiny.

In most cases, bad horoscopes are greater blessings than good ones. The purpose of suffering,

adversity, sickness, anguish, sadness, and unhappiness is not vengeance but education and

experience. And when once we realize that, we shall cease to fume, complain and ask, "Why is this

happening to me? What have I done to deserve all this?"

Instead we shall know that we do deserve it and the only "out" is to make the best of it,

endeavoring all the while to live to a set of ideals which will relegate like suffering in the future to a

state of oblivion.

And remember above all, fellow student, that we must study the Rosicrucian Philosophy and

Astrology only to develop ourselves in order that we may help those in sorrow and distress; to develop

ourselves only that we may serve.

May the Light of true spiritual understanding shine within you.

Yours in fellowship,

The Rosicrucian Fellowship

Education Department

In this course we are going to delineate a chart using the keyword system, the latter being

compact and specific. (Reference Lesson No. 22, Junior Astrology Course.)

After the basic, fundamental principles of a sign, aspect and house have been defined, then it is

well to embellish and add thereto all that we can. But first, delineate by keywords.

For references in detailed delineation, see Simplified Scientific Astrology and The Message of the

Stars.

We strongly advise the earnest student, the seeker of the great spiritual truths of the Divine

Science of Astrology, to study The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, for without a working knowledge

of the Rosicrucian Teachings the higher, spiritual truths of the Science and the intuitive faculties of

delineating a map will ever remain a closed book to him.

Especially, we wish to refer him to chapters and pages on the vehicles and bodies of man.

(Reference Chapter 1, Visible and Invisible Worlds, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, and pages

57 to 76, 139 to 143, and page 298.)

The Rosicrucian Fellowship, in analyzing a chart, usually adheres to a definite standard of form

and arrangement, like the following in sequential order:

1] Ascendant and Physical Body.

2] Individuality.

3] Personality.

4] Mentality.

5] (a) Vocation.

(b) Finance.
