THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

On Sunday evening Mr J. McEwan spoke on “ The Stars in Their Courses,” showing by an astrological chart the position of the signs and planets in the zodiac. The sun in the centre is surrounded by the eight known planets, while beyond them is the ring of 12 different constellations, under one of which we are born. The speaker said the sun represented the atma, or will, in man; the moon corresponded to the personality, Venus typified the love aspect, and so on. each planet representing a plane in nature The three aspects of matter are found in the three type of signs—cardinal (energy), fixed (inerta) movable (rhythm), a preponderance of any of these in an individual showing to what type he belonged The speaker said the astrological signs used for each planet could be likened to numbers—Jupiter was four, Saturn five, and so on up to eight the last being Pluto, the newlydiscovered planet ruling Scorpio. Not much is told of Vulcan, the planet nearest the sun. while there remgin still three planets to be discovered.
