Celestial Influences

Kollerstrom, Nick. The metal-planet relationship a study of celestial influence. Thttp // homepages.ihug.com.au/ panopus/metalplanet/metalplanet.html. 

Know that our seed is produced in the following way. A celestial influence descends from above, by the decree and ordinance of God, and mingles with the astral proper ties. When this union has taken place, the two bring forth a third namely, an earth-like... 

These things represent a liquid key, comparable to the celestial influence, and a dry water joined to the terrestrial substance all which are one thing, derived from three, and two, and one. If you understand this, you have already attained our Magistery. Then you must join the husband and wife together that each may feed upon the other s flesh and blood, and that so they may propagate their species a thousandfold. 

Rocks, stones, formed of Water and of Earth, are baked in the earth as in a potter s oven, this is why they incline to the earth as if making parts of it. But the precious stones and metals are more favored by celestial influences the first are as the tears of Heaven, and a congealed celestial dew for this reason the Ancients attributed them so many virtues. The sun and the stars seem to have also a particular care for the metals, and one would say that Nature leaves to them the duty to give them their form. The soul of metals is, we may say imprisoned in their material envelope the Philosopher s Fire can draw it from this envelope and make it produce a son worthy of the sun, and an admirable quintessence, which draws Heavens near us. 

When the Mixt is dissolved, because of the weakness of the corruptible elements which compose it, the ethereal part abandons it, and returns to its native country. Then derangement, disorder and confusion take place in the parts of the corpse, because of the absence of that which preserved order in it. Death, corruption, take possession of it, until this matter receives anew celestial influences, which reuniting the scattered Elements, will render them suitable for a new generation. 

With its celestial influences and herbal infusions, biodynamic may not be for everyone and not every follower wants to shout it from the label. There is resistance to the methods, probably because they are difficult to understand, impossible to prove and rely to a degree on faith. Nicolas Thienpont bought Chateau Pavie-Macquin in St Emilion in 1994, leaving a quarter of the land under biodynamic practices and resuming the use of synthetic... 

BRUTA — is a certain virtue of the celestial influence which is manifested to reasonable beings through the brute creation, as in the Chelidonia by the swallow, and in Salt by the stork. (The celandine is said to be used by swallows to restore sight to their young). N.B.— There is also a stone called Chelidonius, which was said to be found in the maws of young swallows. 

To know exactly where the transiting planets are and whether they re within a degree or two of your birth planets, you need to consult a professional, wander about on the Web, or — better yet — buy an astrological calendar, which can tell you the precise position of the planets at a glance. The best ones are Llewellyn s Daily Planetary Guide and Jim Maynard s Celestial Guide and Celestial Influences calendars. 

In 1657 Benjamin Worsley sent Samuel Hartlib a series of letters dealing with astrology. Those of October refer to a Physico-Astrological Letter , which is now in the Hartlib Papers. The letter is in fact the Latin version of the letter published in Robert Boyle s posthumous General History of the Air (1692). In Worsley s astrological letter we read that celestial influences affect spirits contained in the human body, and in all natural bodies, as they are all of the same nature ... 

Open to all influences but without abandoning its light-bound vocation, the venerable science of astronomy is ready to greet dark and non-nuclear matter in order to give meaning to the celestial message. 

The Heaven doth by the assistance of his Stars, communicate unto her heavenly, spiritual and invisible virtue, which descends first unto the Air, where it beginneth to assume a kinde of body the Air sends it into the Water or the Earth, where this celestial virtue and influence beginneth to operate more materially, and associate it self to matter, thereby to frame a body to it self by means of those various natural fermentations which are the cause of alteration in sublunary things. 

Examples of pseudoscience abound. Astrology is an ancient belief system that supposes there is a mystical correspondence between individuals and the universe—that human affairs are so special that they are influenced by the positions and movements of planets and other celestial bodies. When astrologers use up-to-date astronomical information and computers that chart the movements of heavenly bodies, they are operating in the realm of science. 

Indeed, we see in the world only water, more or less condensed. Between the heavens and the earth, all is smoke, mist, vapors, pressed from the center, the interior of the earth, and elevated above its circumference in the part which we call air. The weakness of the organs of our senses does not permit us to see the subtle vapors, or emanations of celestial bodies, which we call influences, and which mingle with the vapors sublimating from sub-lunar bodies. The eyes of the mind must aid the weakness of the eyes of the body. 

In departing from the sun light strikes the dense bodies, the celestial as well as the terrestrial it places their faculties in movement, carries them with it, reflects them and diffuses them in the upper Air as well as in the lower. Air having a disposition to mix with the Water and the Earth, becomes the vehicle of these faculties, and communicates them to the bodies which are formed of them, or which are by analogy most susceptible of them. These are the faculties which are called influences. Many natural philosophers deny their existence, because they do not know them. 

Philosophers give the name of spirits, or spiritual natures, not only to immaterial beings, who can be known only by the intellect, such as angels and demons, but also to those which, although material, cannot be perceived by the senses because of their great tenuity. Pure air, or Ether, is of this nature, as are the influences of celestial bodies, Innate Fire, seminal, vital, vegetable spirits, etc. They are the ministers of Nature, who seems to act upon Matter only by means of them. 

Astronomy and chemistry are usually considered very different sciences, with very different historical paths. Whereas astronomy is observational and based on the exact laws of celestial dynamics, chemistry is the archetypical experimental science. Yet speculations about interconnections between the two fields can be found far back in time. To mention but one example, in his 1807 lectures on the history of chemistry, Hans Christian 0rsted prophesied that some day chemistry will have just as much influence on astronomy as mechanics so far. He added that Then it will be necessary to regard external motion as a product of internal forces, and all natural science will finally become a cosmogony. [4] 0rsted s prophecy eventually became reality, but the path followed from chemistry to astronomy took a different direction than imagined by the Danish scientist. To become useful in the science of the heavens, chemistry first had to prove its worth in the study of the earth. 

The energies of Celestial Niter are often equated with the force of Kundalini, or spiritual forces of Indian philosophy. In alchemy, this is referred to as the Secret Fire in Man. The energies of Celestial Salt are equated with the force of Prana, or Vital Energy carried by the air we breathe. Prana is said to maintain physical life and existence. It acts at the instinctual and unconscious levels as well as being influenced by cosmic cycles and other natural phenomena. 

SOL — The Sun, i.e.. Gold Sonir is another name. It also stands for a day. Lastly, it is the Sun in man, an invisible fiery influence from the celestial Sun, nourishing the innate fire of man. 

The exact path and position of an object in space can be determined by taking into account seven orbital elements. These elements deal with the mathematical relationships between the two bodies. To determine the orbit of a celestial body, it must be observed and precise measurements taken at least three times. However, at least 20 precise observations, covering at least one full revolution, are needed for accurate orbital elements to be determined. If two bodies that move in elliptical orbits around their common center of mass (for example, the Sun and Jupiter) were alone in an otherwise empty universe, we would expect that their orbits would remain constant. However, the solar system consists of the Sun, eight major planets, and an enormous number of much smaller bodies all orbiting around the solar system s center of mass. The masses of these objects all influence the orbits of each other in small and large ways.
