I am ever in reflective awe to the revelation, provided by that chart I produced for the date Edgar Cayce gave as being the actual birt date of Yeshu'a/Jesus of Nazareth, [April 2, 3 A.D. Gregorian Calendar] to which I applied my own hypothesis, based on astrological experience, i.e. observation and verifiable data, that it happened when Pluto was exactly conj. the Asc.... which just s happened to be that day, in the 1st degree of Libra, where Pluto was situated at the time... the Sabian Symbol is symbolic of the perfect archetype of a species...and in this instance, that is of Humankind. [from Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols, "An Astrological Mandala"]
"
LIBRA 1°: IN A COLLECTION OF PERFECT SPECIMENS OF MANY BIOLOGICAL FORMS, A BUTTERFLY DISPLAYS THE BEAUTY OF ITS WINGS, ITS BODY IMPALED BY A FINE DART.
KEYNOTE: The immortal archetypal reality that a perfect and dedicated life reveals."
...as Rudhyar went on to summarize it... [ibid.]
"
This is the first statement in the thirteenth scene of the great ritual drama. It is an actional phase because in it the perfection of individual activity is revealed and immortalized. This is the symbolical Transfiguration; at the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus, the Son of Man, was "impaled" by the ray of Divine Light, making of him a Son of God. It was at this very moment that he learned of the Crucifixion awaiting him. Thus the merely human individual is MADE SACRED, becoming the pure embodiment of an archetype."
That was the "WHO" of His being and awareness...and the awesomeness of Pluto's true power becomes so focused when it is found conj. the Asc. ... not too shabby for the M.C. either, of which I have a Pluto conj. to by about 3 degrees... Part of Fortune conj. M.C. too.
Quite the revelation that these Sabian Symbols are valid Divine Precepts, 360 transformational phases symbolically represented in a form understandable to the 20-21st century Occidental mind. [For example, the symbol of "Santa Claus filling stockings...", which is actually part of one Sabian Symbol, has little to no meaning whatsoever to someone of a tribal community in Africa, or one of the indigenous tribes in the Yucatan, that has had so little contact with the "outside" world... but there is an equivalent symbolism for their culture as well.
Yet... THE GREATEST REVELATION... to me, has been that the Astrological Parts are most symbolically relevant to the Part in question... when the nature of that Part is properly understood.
Such as the Part of Fortune of the natal chart of Yeshu'a derives to be at 18* Pisces 16' 06" for a birth time of 5:23 Bethlehem [the modern region is close enough to the exact GPS coordinates], That I've since determined that the birth had to have taken place from 5:22:48 p.m. to 5:22:56 p.m. doesn't alter that placement for the PoF anything noticable.
That is the 19th degree of Pisces [ibid.]
"
PISCES 19°): A MASTER INSTRUCTING HIS DISCIPLE.
KEYNOTE: The transfer of power and knowledge which keeps the original spiritual and creative Impulse of the cycle active and undeviated."
...the most fantastic revelation is that these Astrological Parts are not some "secondary", "second tier" reference tool but rather very significant, and highly symbolically valid, indications of ones internal nature, what they were cast as at birth, by the matrix of cosmic energies, crisscrossing that tiny parsec of space, the cosmic womb, you were born from.
The only thing that remains to be seen is how much this affect s everyone.
Yeshu'a/Jesus was affected by all astrological forces, all the planets and luminaries... not everyone is, in fact it's rare. I am one. Most people are affected by from as few as two to as much as six of the planets and luminaries [
I'm told by another source that the luminaries are supposed to be recognized as potentially of the... as many as... six, but it seems to me that we all must surely be affected by the Sun and the Moon. All of the "matter" we are composed of came from out of our Sun... and we are apprx. 60% water, it's a lot and the Moon has profound effect on all bodies of water, on the surface, under the surface, and in the atmosphere as well?]
Yeshu'a's Part of Catastrophe is at
27* 
03' 13" ....the 28th of Virgo, for a Part of Catastrophe, check it out... [ibid.]
"
VIRGO 28°: A BALDHEADED MAN WHO HAS SEIZED POWER.
KEYNOTE: The sheer power of personality in times that call for decision.
Whether at the religious or at the socio-political and cultural level there comes a time when obsolescent patterns of order and cultural refinement have to be radically and relentlessly challenged. Catabolic personages emerge to seize power and dictate decisions that alter the structures of society; or within an individual life, an intense urge for cathartic changes mobilizes the will, and traumatic decisions are made. At such times, the issue has to be met and, ruthless as the power may appear, it must be accepted.
At this third stage of the thirty-sixth sequence we face the un-postponable necessity for decision and transformation. Existence is motion. No static formation, however beautiful and inspiring, can remain long unchallenged. Everything bows to THE POWER OF THE WILL — divine, executively human, or Satanic."
It was inevitable. A necessary "Catastrophe", yet knowing beforehand is also being forearmed. Thus, it stands to reason one might be able to mitigate the damage done...!
These were examples of "WHY" the Sabian Symbols and the Astrological Parts are such a profound tool of Astrological insight and, for the professional that hire their services, interpretation ...so valuable a knowledge...!
