“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment … Using conventional astrology, you will find certain correlations, because of particular events occurring, that are indeed interrelated. Yet many individuals will not discover semblances of themselves in the charts of astrology simply because their chosen probabilities are, qualitatively speaking, so different from the “norm.”

When astrology works, it works because the astrologer is using his or her creative and psychic abilities, and then projecting that knowledge into a pattern that is of itself too small to contain it. The chart then simply becomes an aid.

3. Jane and I appear to be two of those individuals “who follow a different order of probabilities” as far as astrology is concerned. Beyond some general reading we’ve done on the subject — both pro and con — we know little about it. However, horoscopes that readers have cast for us, after we’ve given the requested information about our births, seldom show much correlation with the Jane and Rob we think we know — nor will one person’s charts for us agree with those prepared by others. We’ve ended up feeling that astrology, as it’s presently practiced, is too limited in conception.

Seth has briefly referred to astrology a few times over the years. As an example, Appendix 21 contains the remarks he made in ESP class last November 26, 1974, concerning the “hidden variables” that can be associated with a recognized birthdate. For the moment, then, Jane and I think that Seth’s material on astrology in this 729th session (and, it soon developed, in the 730th) can serve as his answer to those who have asked for his opinion about it.

(As we lay in bed after last Monday’s session, Jane told me: “I’ve got it — from Seth, I think: A really complete astrological chart would have to include not only the time of your birth, but that of your death.” [...]

[...] “It’s about astrology. [...]

[...] Some astrologers use the time of conception in their calculations, while others prefer the date of birth. [...]

[...] When she went into the kitchen she picked up more from Seth on astrology.

[...] I am hinting here of connections with astrology, though certainly not with the astrology currently known.

[...] There is a connection between what is loosely called astrology and reincarnational data, by the way.

Ruburt may study astrology, but he will not feel easy with it. [...]

[...] Now astrology has its merits, and many good ones. [...]

[...] Astrology, as it is thought of, and as it is taught, you see, represents but a vague shadow of something far different. [...]

[...] I want to go into, and I will at a later date, the connections between this kind of reality and the astrology that is now popular.

[...] Jane came out of trance and told us that she knew Seth had said something about astrology because she had had a conceptual experience, which she simply couldn’t put into words, involving the positions of the planets and the vastness behind their symbolism. [...]

[...] They’d been prepared by a famous astrologer, the woman said. [...]

[...] I have said little about astrology, yet he chose to be born under that earth sign. [...]

[...] The whole physical organism contains checks and balances of which your scientists are still not aware, and I must also mention that for all its mandy-pamby, astrology has a strong basis, although it is only one small portion of the whole story, and not indeed the whole kettle of tales.

[...] The groups of consciousness, then, are not to be equated with, say, astrological houses.

(Then Seth came through with this aside, as he referred to a guest:) One small note to our astrologer-in-spirit over there. [...]
