Betting On the Moon.

An Astronomical method of Self Realization dictated by Regulus through Saturn.

Hello, how are you. We are the Hermetic Astronomic team. We are not to be confused with the Astrological teams nor, the Religious teams. For they can be located under the Eight main headings.

If I may ask, whats your function?....

....We understand! To precisely align oneself with the cycles of the hands of the Greater Clock, is a test which yields a gift of activity for us. It yields right action and right understanding of your individual patterns of change. Such actions and understandings perpetually lead to happiness in the midst of dynamic change.

So then, we wish to first bring your attention to this Astronomical Method called Betting on the Moon (B.O.M.) and its features.

First of all, this is not a system of prediction, it is instead, an Astronomical system of direct activity and immediate experience. We feel a distinction between systems of prediction (forecasting, and foretelling) and systems of pro-action must be pointed out because so many students of life, find the known and familiar systems of Astrology, and its sources, a bit contradictory, vague, and of no immediate or even practical value. Individuals sometimes use pure Astrology in their decision making, showing blind faith in a static method, that makes attempts toward knowing the truly unknowable without delineating the most important astronomically bio-rhythmic patterns. The Student of Astrology is equipped with a veritable set of symbols and mathematical aspects of which he must learn to decode and interpret. We strongly encourage the student to undergo these fundamental lessons however, the B.O.M. method can still be practiced before or during the students elementary training in Astrology.

Second of all, it only requires the knowledge and positions of 2 planets Namely the Sun and the Moon. We find this to be very relieving and most practical for the student because he need not consult an ephemeris. In stead he can, even if in a pinch, just step outside his front door and (via a small mathematical calculation that he can easily do in his head), he can then know where, and when, he is upon his slowly churning Mill of God.

Thirdly, the knowledge and collective meanings behind the so called aspects and angles of the so called planetary transits are no longer necessary in this method. We feel that this is important because (even in a flat earth model), we know that the real planets and their actual spacial positions presented to us, are as an illusion of geometry, and not actual geometry. This is evident with our limited physical equipment, our super tiny bodily positions here on the surface of the Earth, and also our limited visual capability. This also frees the student from mentally presenting biases toward any one of the aspects, or any few of the aspects, which in turn, eliminates the so called good and bad planets. Therefore, this method replaces the mental phenomenon of bias, with the mental phenomenon of potential. This seems to allow the student to draw upon the appropriate quality of energy in a timely manner, from all planetary bodies within the students individual mill of activity, regardless of House locations within his chart.

Fourth, this method also acts as a vaulting template that can be used to analyze any other singular planet and its influences within the Mill of the students activity. We will begin first with both the Sun and the Moon, since we feel this relationship represents the main influence in the Life and Light of the student. Hermetically speaking, the Sun is the Planet of Birthdays. And every single human being with the knowledge of his birthday, celebrates it, whether in public or private. Birthdays even belong to Countries, Nations, and Corporations. It is truly a Universal Acknowledgement. An acknowledgment shared by so many, as to transcend the mental phenomenon of disbelief. Therefore, we thank the Astronomers for creating a circular system as being the foundation of our square calendar system.

Now, as you know, the actual Sun is a Star and not a Planet, and many Healing insights manage to work their way up by frequent meditation upon this fact. This includes the fact that Planets indeed appear to us as Stars, with the naked eye, here on this Earth surface.

Fifthly, this methods encourages the student to observe both Astronomy as well as the changes in his Life in a 4th dimensional way. Meaning, in terms of Time Identification. For, we always know when its time to take the pizza out of the oven because of either a timer tells us to, or better yet, we simply know the correct smell taste and texture of said pizza. In this manner, and with this method, does the student learn to firstly; time, sense, and smell the planetary events in his life, and secondly; with the knowledge of knowing when these events are favorable to occur again, he can then walk forward with confidence and recreate these events.

Event 1

As per any method, you will need a few items at your beaconing call. At some moments, you will need your memory, and at other turns you will need your Natal Chart, still at many other turns to come, you will need a moon phase app. And no accurate Astronomical calculation is possible without an Astrological app. This app should be as simple as possible, and should be able to give you momentary snap shots instantly. You may find these upon your smart phone or any capable CPU. Finally you will need a notepad, either electronic, or good old fashioned pen and paper.

Once you have obtained your most accurate birth chart or Natal Chart, you should then locate the degree coordinates of your Sun. Memorizing these coordinates, saves in both time and energy, while utilizing this method. Now, go out and observe the current phase of the Moon at your time and location. If you are unable to currently see the Moon and its phase, then you should go on ahead and utilize your moon app. Now that you see and know what phase the Moon appears in, it finally becomes time for you to make your calculation, as to where you currently are, on your Natal Chart.

Now this next step can’t be done until the above observation has been carefully made. Memorize the following.

The Position of the Sun Coordinates in the Chart, are the position and coordinates of the perpetual New Moon, and 0 degrees.

The Position in the Chart 180 degrees round the circle from the Sun Coordinates in the Chart, are the position and coordinates, of the perpetual Full Moon, and 180 degrees.

In the illustrated example, we see that the Sun coordinates at 3 degrees 8 minutes Leo. Therefore, the Perpetual New Moon for this event is 3 degrees 8 minutes Leo. 180 Degrees round the circle we see 3 degrees 8 minutes Aquarius. Therefore, the Perpetual Full Moon for this event is 3 degrees 8 minutes Aquarius.

Event 2

Now regarding the formula of calculation:

For this method to work, both the 0 degree position (New Moon) and the 180 degree position (Full Moon), become Logarithms, in the numeric world. This simply means that 0 degrees = 0 percent, and 180 degrees = 100 percent. Stating it plainly, the New Moon becomes 0 percent, and the Full Moon becomes 100 percent. This little bit of information must be understood when using a proper moon app. Fundamentally, we can already see that this is a method based on the present day Moon light. Hermetically speaking, the Moon light is the light of the Sun, but reflected. And we may have a chance to presently witness it physically, thereby eliminating all of the unnecessary philosophy. Taking into account our 2 base positions, within our Natal chart, we can now see that the Sun, and the point 180 degrees round the circle or wheel, may appear to have some sort of significance both within and without our field of observation. I would happily point out to the mind of the Hermetic student that the abridged Emerald Tablet of Hermes, states this relationship in some of the most poetic words.

So where are we on the chart now? At the time of the above chart we are in Aries. But what happens when one is dealing with an individual person, namely himself? What if the Sun position in the chart is in Scorpio, or Taurus, or Sagittarius? He will soon see that his place on the chart is not the actual place of his current event (The Now). This method is specifically used to calculate the Now. The way the student calculates the Now is by waiting until the full moon, and then setting that position as being 180 degrees round his Natal chart from his Sun Position. Or he can wait until new moon and then set that position as being his Sun Position.

Event 3

Now, knowing his position on his chart, the student can begin to take account of his Life. He will of course want to focus on the good inspirational and sexy aspects of his life. And he will learn from and transcend the negative and destructive effects in his life. This he has been doing already, but not to a very accountable degree. Hermetically speaking, every event is a magical one, and now that the student has a celestial marker or Clock, to mark his greatest events, he soon finds himself in a position to repeat them in a magical manner, via the power of the Sun And Moon.

The Practice is as follows: During all the events that bring you joy, and happiness, and fulfillment, you must remember to locate your position on your Chart.

For example, during a party or similar event, when you are with friends or family, and you are somehow able to lose yourself in Joy, Energetic Happiness, absolute Contentment, or just plain good old Orgasm, you must remember to locate your position on your Chart. You must take the time to calculate your current position, as accurately and as quickly as you can. Then the student writes this in his Magical notebook. He writes down the nature of the event that brought him joy alongside his calculated chart position. He will, over a month’s time, fill his notebook with his greatest events over 29 days or so.

Event 4

Now, because he has also recorded his chart coordinates demarcating those events in time, he can now repeat those events magically, the next time he finds himself on that position in his chart, which should take about a month. The events will never appear exactly the same, but the positively energetic nature will always be there. And this is because he now has the numerical coordinates of these events in time, 4th dimensionally, now giving him a certain degree of Magical authority over these moments in time- space.

After the first month or round of events, go on ahead and print these out so that you can have them at your side for both references and comparison. Then prepare yourself for your next round.

Event 5

During this 2nd round the student will be actively creating the positive energy from his prior demarcated events. And he will spend his efforts recreating the positive events and conditions he once experienced before (1 month ago) in that specific timespace. This is the active work involved in living the Magical Lifestyle.

Also, deeper into this second round, the student will notice; that his Chart observations have become much more technical and pinpointed, even down to the nearest degree. His ability to sense the dynamic changes within the cosmic theater is becoming honed.

Event 6

Eventually, the student is brought through his own realization, to a grand opening to the presence of the Great Planetary Beings. They will consciously present themselves to the student, and he will realize them in the greatest Awe For Sure. And he will also, presently realize the familiarity of them, and from them. He will, in short order, remember that they have always and already been there, and present, his whole life.

As the wheel turns, the Student is presented with a choice of deciding on which Planetary being he wishes to observe. A wise choice would be the Sun indeed,.....as the Sun is the Center. Once the Center is known, all else becomes readily accessible.
