This document discusses the recognition and understanding of astrological planets and their relationships. It begins by recognizing the Sun and Moon as complementary forces representing life. Mercury is then recognized as representing conscious thought. Additional planets are gradually recognized, including Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In the late 18th century, Uranus is recognized, representing revolutionary change. Neptune and Pluto are later recognized in the 19th and 20th centuries. Additional astrological bodies like Chiron, asteroids, and Earth are also discussed as being recognized and incorporated into the model over time. The document explores how this recognition helped develop an understanding of archetypes and complementary connections between the planets.

2. Hello everyone. Ah! The Groom?
We have recognised the construction of The
Bride and we have promised her a partner.
How did I recognise her partner?
Well ... astrologers have been working with
him for millennia and they have developed a
keen understanding of HOW he acts even though
WHY he CAN act has been (up until now) a
mystery.
So ... I had a model of the Anima Mundi
and I needed some data regarding the structure
of the Zodiac. This was supplied to me
(through roundabout means) by Maggie Hyde.
3. In 1989 Lindsay Radermacher gave a lecture at the Oxford
Summer School on The Significance of Rulership in Chart
Interpretation. Lindsey was responding to an article by
Maggie illustrating the symmetry of the Chaldean Order of
Rulership as it was taught by
Ptolemy in the second century
CE. Maggie had written:
the trans-Saturnian planets. This creates an
erroneous understanding of the traditional symbolism of the planets
and their relationship with the signs of the Zodiac ...

There is an unreflective
trend in modern
astrology which seeks
to oust the traditional
rulers of signs by giving
exclusive rulership to

After Completion, and 64
Before Completion.
As The Zodiac is a
big Cosmic Clock poised at
that Creative moment full
of potential, After the last
moment, Before the next,
this organisation made
perfect sense?
But unlike on the Anima Mundi, where all positive
and all negative signs line up to make up the first pair of
hexagrams in The Book of Changes, on The
Zodiac the signs alternate, making up the last pair.

The discovery of the ‘new rulers’, Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto introduced new inventions and energy sources.
If ‘seeing’ these planets kick-started
change was it possible the same had been
true of the others?
Could this be

When Venus conceives of something she fancies Mars
sets out to get it. But what if something gets in the way?
Mars energy, while hot stuff on action, is flummoxed by
frustration. When Mars energy is blocked it builds up,
and WHOMP ....
something has to give.

(and sometimes
you get in my

Mars is hunting. It is the
energy that sends us off into
the jungle to fetch a bag of
crisps.
16. Mars is the impulse to act.
We have reached a place where we
must confront our many forms of hunger
and learn through bitter experience that
we cannot just take what we want when
we feel like it. We must develop a
philosophical attitude and this leads us
to our next planet.

Jupiter is ‘the law giver’. He rules the 9th house of philo-

Saturn, the last of the
old planets, demands we
shoulder our obligations
to the group, defend our
laws, implement our
regulations, and make
the world a safer place
to live in.
SATURN
19. Prior to the incorporation of
Saturn into our planetary picture we
had recognised planets carrying the
archetypes of only three of the four
elements, those of Fire, Air, and
Water…
Saturn is
the planet of
‘Limitation’.
The end of the line.
20. AIR

We were proficient processers of
visual information having recognised
EARTH. With ‘heavy Saturn’ we met
the confining, constricting, decomposing,
physical foundation upon which our ‘being’ is based.
AIR

Summing
Up
We had a powerful dose of intelligent
conscious-awareness with two Air planets
on our folio, Mercury and Venus.
Saturn marked our first conscious confrontation with
the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter.
And we had the instinct to ‘care’ for those
we loved recognising one planet, the Moon,
for the element Water.
22. This is Liz Green’s diagram of Iolande Jacobi’s
‘consciousness’ model. Liz has added the planets. The
three outer planets define the COLLECTIVE
UNCONSCIOUS. Up to this point we have no
awareness of these planets but we are aware of the
planets that define CONSCIOUSNESS and the
PERSONAL UNCONSCIOUS. Note: The
new model
has
rearranged
Venus and
Mars.
23. I am.
Responding to
Iolande’s and Liz’s insight I
drew up a diagram to
illustrate what (at this
point in history) we had
evolved sufficiently
to recognise.
Not only the outer
planets but also planet
Earth is missing.

You are.

24. Suddenly new sources of
energy became available.
The ruler and his aristocracy were the last word in power
and authority. Man-power , animal power, and the
natural powers of wind, water and fire were all we
had in the way of energy. Lots could be done but there
were limits. (Remember Saturn?)
25. Astrologers call Uranus the planet of ‘sudden
disruptive change’. The discovery (one of this planet's
meanings is discovery) that enabled us to see this distant
planet was the telescope.
In 1781, scanning the night
sky with his amazing, home-
made, magnifying device, William
Herschel, with his sister Caroline’s
help, recognised this planet for
what it was. It looked like nothing
more than a little star, but it
moved – it wasn’t a comet - it
didn’t have a tail.

1781
After ages of limitation
imposed by a restricted
energy supply, we
discovered new sources
of power. Uranus,
ruler of electricity,
turned on the light.
URANUS
27. Much that was dark was dispelled and demands
were made to change our old Capricornian
ways of going about our business.
‘Hey’, said Uranus energy, shouldn't
everyone benefit the social order not just the chosen few?
And since the Saturnian system didn't want to change
the result was rebellion. Uranus, idiosyncratic planet,
rolling around as it orbits like that great invention the
wheel (the others spin), planet of electricity, eccentricity,
enlightenment, ushered in humanitarian ideals with
considerable disruption.
The American war of independence was won in 1781;
the French Revolution erupted in 1789 and in a small
island off the coast of France the Industrial Revolution was
gearing up – life prepared to take on major new concerns.
l
28. Uranus stands for the collective, positive, side of
the Complementary Connection WEALTH,
a condition that has to do with science, technology, com-
merce and government. And there is a warning – The I
Ching says of this top line of The Creative: Arrogant dragon
will have cause to repent. Better keep this warning in mind.
Uranus stands for revolution, re-evolution, and we
prepare for another turn on the evolutionary wheel. We
have collective conscious awareness. Man, woman, child,
black, white, red, yellow, tall or short, rich or poor, bisexual,
homosexual, heterosexual - we understand collectively that
we all have rights, and that's a great step forward.
It was unstable Uranium that alerted man to the presence
of energy in the nucleus of the atom triggering the
countdown for what has come to be called ‘the atomic age’.

Neptune was predicted by Couch Adams in
1845 and seen by Leverrier in 1846. Neptune's com-
passionate disposition tuned in to Uranus' insistence on
individual freedom and slavery became an issue of moment.
New drugs were discovered. The import of opium into China
(also the import of Christian missionaries) provoked a war.
Film united cinema goers in intense emotional
experiences. The new source of energy offered
by Neptune was gas.
NEPTUNE
31. While Saturn means death in the sense of
‘STOP’ Pluto's dynamic energy acts on death. It
breaks down outworn forms, returning them to their
component parts so that they are available for re-
assimilation. But now we have a problem. Burning
fossil fuels messes with our atmosphere, and we have
created plutonium, a dangerous element with
transformational power of its own, an element that
Pluto energy cannot so easily degrade.
We must clear up our own mess. If we fail to
realise plutonic issues, we are threatened with
annihilation.
REGENERATION
36. c
The way these planets are linking indicates
a new planet is awaiting recognition.
We need
a ruling
planet for
Taurus.
37. In 1948 Fred Hoyle wrote: Once a photograph of the
Earth, taken from the outside, is available, we shall, in an
emotional sense, acquire an additional dimension ... a
new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.
In 1961 a human being saw Earth for the first time.
The first astronauts prepared to see the universe, without
exception they spent their time gazing at home.
‘.. it comes through you so powerfully, that you are the
sensing element for man. You look down and see the
surface of that globe that you've lived on all this time,
and you know all those people down there, and they are
like you, they are you, and somehow you represent them.’
Astronaut R Shwiekart. (The Home Planet. Conceived
and edited by Kevin W. Kelly. Macdonald Queen Anne Press.)
38. EARTH
Recognising Earth
demanded we over-
came the power of
GRAVITY.
Big achievement?
Oh ... we are
beautiful, yes, but
also small and
VULNERABLE !
The ‘sensing element
for man’! Does this
look good?

Um ...

This is the symbol for
Earth that I found

It is Venus
upside down!
40. Aware of our vulnerability we are moved by
our vision to think about Earth in a more
responsible way. Taurus protects and
conserves but is ferocious when angered.
Here she is, The
Bride
of Heaven.
We must learn to
keep her safe.

42. In 1977 we discovered Chiron and it caused
quite a stir. I suspect Chiron, is the key to the
evolutionary door. The more I have studied
this perception the greater is my trust in
this idea. Discovered by Charles Kowal on
the first day of November 1977 nobody was sure whether
Object Kowal was a large asteroid, a captured comet,
or an escaped satellite of Uranus or Saturn.
As Jupiter seeks to define the laws of the universe,
Chiron analyses the results produced by experience.
Jupiter can be optimistic since his conclusions give a
sense of fulfilment whereas much that Chiron has to deal
with is painful. Chiron works with the small scale, every
living cell counts, and the sign Virgo clearly relates to the
preoccupations of Chiron and the sixth house.

Gemini (third house) is teaching and Virgo,

Chiron is a teacher and a healer isn’t he?
Chiron’s orbit takes it sometimes within the orbit
of Saturn, sometimes outside.
Mercury has an interesting partner.
45. Astronomers have
suggested that Chiron
is an escaped asteroid.
So what about these?
They must ALL be
important.
ASTEROIDS
In 1596 Kepler predicted a
planet orbiting between Mars
and Jupiter. Once predicted the
hunt was on. Ceres was the first
asteroid to be discovered.
Ceres?
46. Ceres (Greek Demeter), goddess of harvest, the
sign Virgo. So, if there is a ‘potential’ planet between
Mars and Jupiter which never managed to get its act
together because Jupiter’s gravity is too strong ,and,
if Ceres is the sign Virgo, we have reason to wonder.

Yes ... satellites DEFINITELY look like asteroids.
49. There are many small objects in the solar system.
Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet, zooms around
the Sun, and, as I mentioned, astronomers think he must
have come in from the outer solar system as he can’t have
formed so near such a massive gravitational field.
Might some of these be his Gemini friends?

55. So we find yourselves with another stunning pattern
– this time on The Zodiac ...
56. DNA consists of a double string of simple molecules called bases. There are
only four bases; these are adenine, A, guanine, G, thiamine, T and cytosine,
C. This ‘Pattern of Evolution’ is made up of four elements; these are
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In DNA the base adenine always links with
thiamine and the base guanine always links with cytosine. On the ZODIAC
Earth always links with Air, Water always links with Fire.
... and it is laid out remarkably like DNA;
the instruction book for creating a physical ‘being’.
DNA!
