by Dane Rudhyar. Everyone will enjoy this article presenting the astrological planets as the vowels and consonants of the celestial language of astrology. The article includes a brief sketch outlining the astrological significance of each planet. From 1966.ADDED 3 November 2004

. Saturn in a birth-chart indicates the manner in which the entire past of the Universe is focused upon that individual, conditioning his or her cycle of life-development. Saturn conditions, but does not control. It says: Here is your starting point. The universe, before you came, has gone so far; now, move on from here, the best you can. What you will accomplish from that point to the moment of your death will be your contribution to the universe.ADDED 29 July 2010

"The only cycle which gives us a very regular sequence of two planets' conjunction in every successive sign of the zodiac is Jupiter-Neptune cycle of 166 years," Rudhyar states and goes on to show in a manner especially meaningful for the world situation of 2009-2010 . Importantly, the article shows how the current Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions in Aquarius corresponds with the previous conjunctions of 1843 — a period in time in strikingly similar to our own. ADDED 5 December 2009.

From 1949, this unique series of four articles exposes the roots of many 21st Century problems. Jupiter and Saturn are symbols of all established and inherently static social-cultural and religious processes, the foundations upon which social normality is determined. Uranus and Neptune are representatives of forces and spiritual agencies which operate toward the close of the cycle of a society - to build the seed of a future civilization. ADDED 31 July 2010.

Age gap relationships and May-December marriages have received much media attention recently, often critical. In this accessible article, Rudhyar explains the advantages of age gap relationships from an astrological approach, and reveals why relationships and marriage between two people of nearly the same age may not be entirely desirable. ADDED 16 June 2011

In this article from 1944, Rudhyar explains how declination should be related to the concept of 'exaltation'; zodiacal longitude, to the principle of 'rulership'. Understanding this, we can better understand why particular signs of the zodiac have been traditionally mentioned as the 'signs of exaltation' of particular planets; otherwise the system of exaltation would appear puzzling and without any consistent order. ADDED 18 JULY 2011.

The essential aim of any psychologically valid astrology is to help individuals to respond ever more successfully to the challenges of everyday life. The true aim of astrology is to help the individual in seeing his or her "crises", small or big, as phases of growth – and not as either senseless and chaotic occurrences or steps on the road to personal frustration, defeat and disintegration. ADDED 18 AUGUST 2011.











Most essentially stated, my ultimate aim in reformulating astrology has not been to help people using or studying astrology feel secure by avoiding the unpredictable and traumatic. It has been to transform the search for a static kind of security by avoidance into a search for a dynamic kind of security that can be achieved only through understanding the place and meaning of the cathartic and transformative in human life.

In order to do this and in order to help astrologers not take for granted the exclusive validity of traditional formulas and aims, I have repeatedly asked the question, "What is astrology for?"

Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) was the most important and influential astrologer of the 20th Century, introducing reforms to the ancient practice many practitioners and writers today take for granted, unaware of their indebtedness to Rudhyar's pioneering work. Rudhyar was also probably the most prolific writer on the subject, contributing 16 books and almost 1,000 articles to modern astrology.
