Why Are Not Astrologers Rich, If The "Wise Man Can Rule His Stare?"

Because they were not born with the proper kind of stars to rule, for the making of money. They accumulate the sort of riches which Jesus spoke of; riches that neither moth nor rust corrupt, nor thieves break in and steal."Their "treasures are in the heavens,"and their heavens are everywhere, both without and within.

It Is Difficult To Imagine How Planets So Far Away Can Affect Our Lives?

Yet it is not difficult to imagine how the Sun, so far distant, affects tiny flowers, or the snow on a roof. If you believe in God and have seated him on a throne much farther away than the Sun, it does not seem as if distance affected your belief in His effects. Just think of His hearing prayers so far distant in the heaven of heavens. Per contra think of the wonders of telegraphy as applied by man. Think how quickly your toe communicates with the head when it is affected. Is not the universe a complete oneness of body? Is not the solar system a family of itself within that oneness? Do you imagine that there is greater relative distance between the members of the solar family than between the members of any human family? Go to the ant with thy sluggish mind and ask the ant how a billion dollar trust can affect the great earth, which the ant possibly knows nothing about. Do the ants think we are bodies with intelligence such as they possess or some great bodies moving too close to their world of ant holes, as we sometimes think of meteors crossing the earth's path. There is almost as much space for our minds to expand in as there is for the ants.

Only about six feet difference.

How About The Precession Of The Equinoxes?

They govern periods of thousands of years. They move less than one sixtieth of a degree in a year; not two degrees in an individual life time. They may have some effect upon the life as a whole, but are not taken into account in astrology, except in prophecies like those of Daniel or John of the Revelation. They have their correspondence, however, in all the smaller cycles, as in the law "a day for a year," etc.

Why Do Not The Constellations Of Astronomy And The Signs Of Astrology Agree?

They do. They each move away from each other at the same rate of speed, viz: 50 seconds a year. Astronomers hold to the constellations and astrologers to the signs. A good thing. Either can correct the other at any time, if necessary. Astronomers are keeping track of the movements of the "host of heaven." while astrologers are making judgment from the fundamental principles of that host, from which they can only modifyingly depart, like day and night, or sunshine and shadow. Bach must repeatedly return.

In Astrology You Speak Of The "Heavens, "In The Plural?

Yes, we scientifically distinguish the various parts, influences, etc., from each other, and locate the "host of heaven"in their different mansions or houses of God, and by so doing we can tell from which portion of the heaven the earth is breathing, and what other wandering star, like the earth, is feeding upon that same portion of the heaven, or from what other portion any of them may be drawing their bread or breath of life. By this means we may estimate the corresponding conditions of these wandering members of the heavenly host, according to their respective natures, and as a family of that portion of heaven, given to the Lordship of the Sun of God. we may easily judge how our own member - the earth - is affected in a general way.

Do You Call The Sun, Moon And Stars The Host Of Heaven?

Well, the Bible calls them such, (Deut. iv.19,) and the Bible is astrological authority good enough for any honest astrologer. The astronomy of the Bible is far in advance of modern astronomy in spite of the fact of our boasted better instruments.

Did Not The Biblical Astronomers Think The Earth Flat And Square?

How could they think so and speak of one sitting "upon the circle of the earth."
