The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 3 of 4: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy
Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
That invocation was made in the proper terms ... of the formula,
reproduced far too faithfully by Jamblichus for it to be possible
to refuse him any longer the merit of having transmitted to
posterity the ancient and primitive spirit of the Egyptian
Astrologers.(626)
As Letronne had tried to prove that all the genuine Egyptian Zodiacs had
been manufactured during the Roman period, the Sensaos mummy is brought
forward to show that:
All the Zodiacal monuments in Egypt were chiefly astronomical.
Royal tombs and funereal rituals are so many tables of
constellations and of their influences for all the hours of every
month.
Thus the genethliac tables themselves prove that they are far
older than the period assigned to their origin; all the Zodiacs of
the sarcophagi of later epochs being simple reminiscences of the
Zodiacs belonging to the mythological [archaic] period.
Primitive Astrology was as far above modern judiciary Astrology, so‐
called, as the guides (the Planets and Zodiacal signs) are above the lamp‐
posts. Berosus shows the sidereal sovereignty of Bel and Mylitta (Sun and
Moon), and only “the twelve lords of the Zodiacal Gods,” the “thirty‐six
Gods Counsellors” and the “twenty‐four Stars, judges of this world,” which
support and guide the Universe (our solar system), watch over mortals and
reveal to mankind its fate and their own decrees. Judiciary Astrology as
it is now known, is correctly denominated by the Latin Church the
Materialistic and pantheistic prophesying by the objective planet
itself, independently of its Rector [the Mlac of the Jews, the
ministers of the Eternal commissioned by him to announce his will
to mortals]; the ascension or conjunction of the planet at the
moment of the birth of an individual deciding his fortune and the
moment and mode of his death.(627)
Every student of Occultism knows that the heavenly bodies are closely
related during each Manvantara with the mankind of that special cycle; and
there are some who believe that each great character born during that
period has—as every other mortal has, only in a far stronger degree—his
destiny outlined within his proper constellation or star, traced as a
self‐prophecy, an anticipated autobiography, by the indwelling Spirit of
that particular star. The human Monad in its first beginning is that
Spirit, or the Soul of that star (Planet) itself. As our Sun radiates its
light and beams on every body in space within the boundaries of its
system, so the Regent of every Planet‐star, the Parent‐monad, shoots out
from itself the Monad of every “pilgrim” Soul born under its house within
its own group. The Regents are esoterically seven, whether in the
Sephiroth, the “Angels of the Presence,” the Rishis, or the Amshaspends.
“The One is no number” is said in all the esoteric works.
