ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY - VOL. 6
Colloquialisms and Clichés
This volume is a unique dictionary of permutations in the form of colloquial sayings and clichés, translated into their astrological equivalents. A very valuable reference work for those interpreting astrological charts.
The modes of expressing a language may indicate powerful subjective forces at play deep in the unconscious structure of the Race using that language. This is particularly true of English which has become the international language, for reasons not entirely connected with political developments. The virility of the Anglo-Saxon sub-race is based largely on esoteric foundations as anyone will soon find if he studies a simple handbook of Theosophy.
Idiomatic language reflects the character of the people expressing it and releases numinous energies from their unconscious. Anyone who understands the significance of the mantram, of invocations and words of power will quickly apprehend the energies that lie packaged with proverbs, which themselves are surfacings of racial wisdom. Energy and meaning underlie words as much as they do images and thoughts.

By correlating any of the above with the appropriate astrological aspect for it, related meanings and energies lying deeply or superficially in the native's unconscious or openly in his personality are quickly revealed. The deeper structures, when they are related through their astrological aspect directly to the Rising Sign and its esoteric ruler, etc., are indicative of the native's Soul's purpose. Permutations of any aspect reveal meanings covering the whole range of a person's nature, from the level of his Soul right through to the components of his personality, from psyche and Self to ego.
