Astrology
Part2
In the Kabbalistic Astrology/Astronomy system, the Earth
is usually considered the stationary center of the
Universe, with the heavens and heavenly bodies revolving
around it.
In several places in the Kabbalistic books, it is stated
that the Earth revolves around the sun but this is
considered to be true only within the relativistic setting
of the solar system.
The actual Absolute Center of the Universe is the place of
the Holy of Holies of the Temple in Jerusalem (may it be
rebuilt speedily in our days).
The revolutions of the Heavens influence us down here.
Some of these influences are very obvious - e.g. the
revolution of the Sun around the Earth causes night and
day. The revolution of the Moon causes the tides of the
Waters. The revolution of the Earth around the Sun through
the twelve signs of the Zodiac cause the Seasons.
Recently we've had some hurricanes. These were caused by
the revolutions of the heavens and obviously affected many
peoples lives.
The various climates on Earth are a result of where one is
located under the sky. So at the poles it is extremely
cold and at the equator it is hot. These climates also
affect the food chain. It is well known that certain
places are especially good for growing grapes or apples
etc.
The above are very obvious effects of the Sky upon life on
Earth. However Kabbalistic Astrolgy teaches that the
Heavenly influences affect us in much more subtle ways.
Even a person's character is affected by where and where
he is born.
However, Kaballistic Astrology is not Fatalistic. The
universe is a backdrop to our actions but within its
framework we have a choice of good or bad. So, for
instance, a person who is influenced by Mars - a blood
sign - can become a murderer or a surgeon
Please remember that these posts are not meant to explain
Astrlogy but rather the relationship of Astrology to the
Kabbala
