The Violet Flame, Seven Soul Rays and Esoteric Astrology

What is Esoteric Astrology?
This branch of astrology helps people understand their spiritual path. It does not replace the normal form of astrology (termed, exoteric astrology). Instead, it adds texture and dimension to the interpretation of your natal chart. Visualize a chessboard as being like exoteric astrology. Esoteric astrology is like adding a second level to the chessboard. An example: Venus is the planet representing love, marriage, cooperation, and beauty. Taurus rules Venus (an auspicious pairing) in exoteric astrology. This combination likes to manifest its desires in a tangible way, money, property, and sensual massages. In esoteric astrology, the spiritual ruler of Venus is the mythical (?) planet Vulcan (no, not Star Trek!). Vulcan rules the path to return to Source. The esoteric interpretation of this combination is that you would minimize your requirement for physical possessions to help you feel secure. Vulcan would have you forging a new set of higher values to help you find security in your connection to the One Source.

What are the Seven Soul Rays?
The seven rays are part of ancient mystery school teachings. Knowing the rays that are dominant within you helps you to activate the speed button on your path of spiritual growth and service. The idea is that we are all created from Oneness. To make a planet, a person, or a computer, you must first give the illusion of separating Oneness into duality (masculine-feminine, yin-yang, negative-positive). Esoteric philosophy says that this Oneness is broken down into seven frequencies of vibration called rays. Imagine shining a pure, white light through a prism to get a rainbow of colors. Find more information on this subject in books by Alice A. Bailey and Lucius Trust.

What is the Violet Flame?
When you work with the Ascended Masters and the Seven Rays, you are likely to utilize this energy of transmutation. It is commonly associated with the Seventh Ray, Saint Germaine, and the archangel Zadkiel. The purpose of the VIOLET FLAME is to help you experience greater frequencies of your essential soul vibration in your daily life. It helps you to live in a loving place of power rather than a fearful place of powerlessness. The Violet Flame is a method for transmuting (changing) lower vibrations into the higher energy of Light. It helps people find greater self-fulfillment through soul service. As we enter the shifting energies of a new millennium, you are empowered to enhance your reality in a dynamic way.
