There are a couple of dynamics and issues that we can consider more. One is rooted in the fact that coming into the life

as Jesus he had to relearn certain forms of humility as evidenced in the fact that a former student in another life, John

the Baptist, became the vehicle for his own baptism. Can we see from the placement of his Planetary Nodes relative to

his natal planets why this was a karmic/ evolutionary necessity ? What did the Soul of Jesus do in another life that

required this ? And, within this, what can we see in his past that would have lead to the life of Jesus in the first place ?

And why the necessity of being Crucified ? Another dynamic to examine more deeply would be the Soul psychology of

Jesus over many, many lifetimes that lead to becoming Jesus ? What has that Soul psychology been ? And, because of

that psychology, what types of specific prior lives do he live that all lead to the life of Jesus ? There have been other

lives in which he was, relatively speaking, very known for his various capacities: not lives that were in seclusion at all.

Can we see some of that in his birth chart, and the Planetary Nodes ?

Hi Rad,

I have attempted to answer your first question regarding Jesus having to re-learn certain forms of humility:

Pluto/Mars/Virgo describes the desire to re-learn humility. Mercury rules Pluto and Mars, and naturally rules the 3rd

house. Pluto/Mars opposite the 3rd house planets showed the requirement for co-operation with the higher will of

God. Past knowledge (Pluto/9th) was brought down to earth (3rd) and communicated.

Uranus/Pisces/3rd rules the 3rd house, giving a strong revolutionary flavour to his teachings. The sign Gemini

(natural ruler of the 3rd house) in the 6th contains the planetary NNs of Uranus and Jupiter and correlates to not only

Jesus' own expression of humility and self-sacrifice, but also him teaching these qualities to others. The 6th house is

ruled by Venus and correlates to the extremes that were employed to re-learn the lesson of further humility.

SNs of Uranus and Mars Sag/12th first-quarter square to natal Pluto. Mars symbolizes personal will, and Uranus

resistance. This square describes wanting to be turned loose but being restrained in order to learn patience and

develop humility. Similarly, the SN of Uranus squares natal Uranus, and the SN of Pluto squares Saturn/Venus. In

turn, Saturn rules the 2nd, and Venus rules the 6th and the NN/Taurus/5th.

The personal will of Jesus can also be described by the Planetary SNs of Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune in the 1st

house, with the NNs of these planets residing in the Western hemisphere of the chart (6th/7th) signifying taking his

teachings out to the social sphere (egoconcentric orientation) and having to learn further humility. Another indicator

of extremes is 7 Pluto oppositions to his 3rd house planets, as well as the emphasis on all the planetary SNs in the East

in opposition to the NNs of the outer planets in the West.

Skipped steps Mercury square the Nodes. Mercury is ruled by Uranus/Pisces/3rd very closely conjunct Jupiter/

Pisces/3rd. This aspect describes having to re-learn certain aspects of the Natural Truth for the purpose of study/

teaching, thus liberating and transforming (Uranus) obsolete knowledge or teaching methods (Jupiter) so as to align

more fully (evolution) with higher Natural Law.

The Neptune balsamic conjunction to SN/Scorpio implies limitation from the past. This is an aspect of re-living prior

life dynamics due to prior choices that were made (ie, using his own will to perform miracles out of love, resulting in

skipped steps). The fixed houses and signs of the t-square correlate to resistance or an old karmic pattern which

prevented Jesus evolution.

The 3rd house planets, constant movement, oppose Pluto/Mars 9th, long-distance travel to the East, in order to recover

the teachings/knowledge that lead to his destiny of sacrifice on the cross. The recovery of the skipped steps of

Mercury required adjustment and surrender (Neptune, resolution SN) to Gods will, and this lead to the traumatic

events in his life. Dying on the cross correlated to giving up his will to the higher Will of God, and taught the

evolutionary lesson of further humility.

The NN/Taurus allowed a total evolutionary change so that Jesus could continue in his evolution. This links to the

planetary NN of Pluto found in Gemini 7th, so overall evolution was effected through expansion of intellectual

structures, sharing God's teachings with others, and fully entering into a relationship with God through the

demonstration of complete and humble surrender to God's Will.

Thank you so much Rad for your guidance.

I would be interested in examining the birth chart

and crucifixion chart of Jesus in terms of the Planetary Nodes.

ere is the natal chart of Jesus, and

the chart of his crucifixion. The

planetary nodes of Jesus are these:

M e r c u r y : N . N o d e = 1 8

Pisces ................ S.Node = 12

Aquarius

V e n u s : N . N o d e = 1 0

Aries .................. S.Node = 29

Capricorn

M a r s : N . N o d e = 1 2

Aries ...................S.Node = 15

Sagittarius

S a t u r n : N . N o d e = 0

Cancer..................S.Node = 10

Capricorn

U r a n u s : N . N o d e = 1

Gemini ...................S.Node = 7

Sagittarius

N e p t u n e N . N o d e = 1 8

Cancer..................S.Node = 21

Capricorn

P l u t o N . N o d e = 2 1

Gemini .................S.Node = 24

Sagittarius

So what I would like us to do is

examine all of the South Planetary

Nodes as they lead to the life of

Jesus. Later on we can talk about

the N.Nodes. Especially as they

apply to the Crucifixion day.

God Bless, Rad

This is so cool. I first want to share that when I was 14, in yeshiva during Jewish history class, I remember how excited

I was when we started learning about the time period of Jesus and the Essenes. This was highly unusual for an

orthodox Jew! As I prepared to write, I had a moment of utter amazement that years later I get to analyze the chart of

this great soul, who is very close to my heart- my soul.

First, basic ea state: latter third stage spiritual. It seems, based on the life that I have learned about (outside of the

gospels), that he reached the final stages of the third stage of the spiritual state in that lifetime. However, I wonder if

that is true based on the crucifixion, and his seeming last minute Virgo doubting "My God, why have you forsaken

me?" Does this implies that he left this world with still unresolved desires?

My first observations of this chart is that all the south planetary nodes fall in the signs of Sag, Capricorn and Aquarius,

in his 12th, 1st and second houses.

The basic implications of this correlate to prophesy/preaching/teaching, social responsibility/leadership, revolution/

social change (the astrological signs) as well as a soul that was in communion with Creator, a loner and a hermit (the

houses)

Starting with natal Pluto and the evolutionary signatures of his chart in the context of the sn of Pluto. This soul has

been highly focused, and has had the purpose of assisting groups of people (or we can say humanity on the level of the

masses- Neptune in the 11th conj sn) to decondition from the beliefs, religions, ideas etc that are reflected in the Judea

Christian outlook. Moving beyond guilt (Pluto in Virgo in the 9th house). However also implied in this is a strong

degree of pushiness and passion when it comes to communicating his vision to the masses. He himself has been learning

the lesson of forgiveness, to embrace an idea of God that is entirely beyond any notion of should, guilt, or judgement

(Pisces planets opposing Pluto in Virgo). He has naturally experienced and witnessed great trauma and persecution

based on him fulfilling his mission. He has come into this world to instigate change, and has necessarily attracted

unspeakable resistance and oppression.

A couple more necessary notes: Mercury squares the nodes- forming a first quarter square to the south node in Scorpio

in the 11th house. This correlates to a soul that has experienced excommunication of sorts, or perhaps has served the

function of social revolution and yet has maintained a perpetual isolation from community on behalf of being so

different. Thus he has learned to be a loner, to serve humanity and yet be entirely a part from it. The skipped step that

lead to the life of Jesus implies that he had resisted doing the work he is here to do based on inertia and security with

being his own group of one. Thus the key has been for him truly prophesize, teach, shake things up- and to speak up

(mercury) without becoming frustrated at the people, paranoid of what might happen, spiritually arrogant, or develop a

psychology of futility (Mercury in Aquarius in the second house relative to the square to the sn in Scorpio in the 11th

and Neptune, ruled by Pluto in Virgo in the 9th).

This enables him to develop the north node. It's essentially about simplification and letting go entirely. Symbolically

and literally this is surrendering to the Source and communicating to the masses whatever would come out of his

mouth. His words were meant to transcend (Pisces) any dogmas, ideas or beliefs. It confronted and dissolved any of his

own dogmas, and melted the hearts of anyone who heard him.

The south node of Pluto is in Sag in the 1st house, Squaring Mars which is in a new phase with natal Pluto both

retrograde, also squaring Venus in Pisces in the 3rd which opposes that Mars. This correlates to a soul that has been a

loner in the past, seeking and knowing God within the context of natural law, and nature herself. He has received the

answers to his own questions through direct communion. The challenges, as comes up in this chart has been to show up

and serve, to act upon the direct truth that he merged with (Virgo Square, and the retrogradation in general). There

has been resistance on the one hand, and also the need to let go of control on the other (accept that he can only do his

work and to surrender any attachment to outcome). This is further emphasized by natal Mars squaring its own south

node, which is conjunct the sn of Pluto, in Sag in the 12th house. Again a soul that has lived in direct communtion- here

emphasizing that his actions have been as directed by higher intuition.

Venus in Pisces in the 3rd squaring the sn of Pluto, also being the ruler of the nn and opposing Mars to emphasizes the

need for this soul to surrender to the complete intangibility and definition-less-ness of the Truth, to develop a value

system based on forgiveness and surrender.

Opening his mind in such a way also heals and nurtures the trauma, ideals, visions, beliefs, traveling, and purposes etc

that has literally dictated such a strong facet of the past. The natural challenge for this soul would have been to truly let

go of his independence, and to actually use words, actually speak even though he wouldn't know what to say until he

said it. God is his mouth. The healing with hands is also implied in this.

While we're on Venus, it would be meaningful to look at that south node as well, especially given the evolutionary

significance of that planet on his chart to begin with. The sn of Venus is in Capricorn in the second house, like natal

Mercury it is squaring the nodes as well as Neptune in Scorpio in the 11th. This emphasizes a soul who has developed

a value system, found personal meaning in its life through living in a very private and internal way, in seclusion. The

life of Jesus must have been very focused on resolving all of that second house stuff. This planet being Venus really

emphasizes the psychology of inertia. Capricorn also implies that he has needed to be highly aware of the social reality

he was living in on the basis of having a social purpose to fulfill.

All of the other planets seem to repeat many of the themes already spoken of.

The sn of Uranus in Sag in the 12th also squares natal Pluto as well as every planet in Pisces, except for Venus. This

says a lot about what he was faced with. Note that the ruler of Sag is Jupiter in Pisces in a new phase conjunction with

natal Uranus. To simplify the immensity of these aspects: The intent was to follow the intuition, to follow God and

surrender what comes out of his mouth no matter how crazy it was.

This, as well as of course Mercury in Aquarius squaring the nodes, points to the rebellious nature of his words. This

really explains why his words were both very Piscean (non linear, parables, abstract, universal and timeless, non

specific yet all encompassing) as well as Aquarius (revolutionary, stirred things up).

Rad's Quote: So what I would like us to do is examine all of the South Planetary Nodes as they lead to the life of

Jesus.

SN of Mars 15 Sagittarius

SN of Uranus 7 Sagittarius

SN of Pluto 24 Sagittarius

SN of Venus 29 Capricorn

SN of Jupiter 0.27 Capricorn

SN of Saturn 10 Capricorn

SN of Neptune 21 Capricorn

SN of Mercury 12 Aquarius

The Planetary SNs of all of these planets are in 3 signs: Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius, the end signs of the

zodiac, and are situated in the 12th, 1st and 2nd houses in the Eastern hemisphere of the chart indicating a past-life

focus on self-awareness, self-discovery, inner world, meditation, solitude, aloneness. Most people on the planet today

have the SNs of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus in those same 3 signs: Sag/Cap/Aqu. His evolutionary condition was 3rd

stage Spiritual. Briefly, the dynamics involved in the prior lives of the Soul of Jesus were:

SN of Pluto 24 Sagittarius 1st house: Plutos past, that is, how Jesus had evolved before and leading up to his

lifetime, correlated to an alignment with natural law and a desire to teach a new philosophy of life. He came from a

matriarchal reality, living in harmony, balance and equality within the totality of the manifested creation. His system of

belief was directly linked to the laws of the natural world. Visions and intuitive teachings were communicated

instinctively and spontaneously. Past lives within tribes, cultures, or societies that were defined by natural laws.

SN of Mars 15 Sagittarius 12th house: Correlates to how past desires emanating from the Soul of Jesus were

brought to his egocentric consciousness and how they were acted upon. Jesus was consciously aware of his connection

to the Universe in a metaphysical/cosmological context, and of his spiritual mission to teach. Past lives within tribes,

cultures, or societies that were defined by natural laws.

SN of Uranus 7 Sagittarius 12th house: Correlates to the desire to liberate from and transform past conditioning

patterns, parental/societal conditioning, trauma, persecution, alienation, or last remnants of any limited beliefs/

philosophies. Repetitive messages about the future: knew he had a mission to fulfil, to help liberate and free others

from delusive thinking. Past lives within tribes, cultures, or societies that were defined by natural laws.

SN of Saturn 10 Capricorn 1st house: Correlates to lifetimes lived during the devilish distortions of the patriarchy

and how this formed a foundation for active self-determination in his teachings about the true god. Transition between

the matriarchy and patriarchy.

SN of Venus 29 Capricorn 2nd house: Past inner relationship to himself involved emotional control/repression of

natural impulses. Reliance on his heavenly father for material needs and security. A strong capacity to give, share

and include.

SN of Jupiter 0.27 Capricorn 1st house: Beliefs about natural law and future visions were the basis for his

structured/ordered teachings and interpretation of reality. Expansion, growth, in a state of continual becoming.

Transition between the matriarchy and patriarchy. Wise teacher/elder.

SN of Neptune 21 Capricorn 1st house: Jesus spiritual root goes back to the Age of Capricorn, just after the original

matriarchy was established. His reality was defined by natural laws, nature, natural impulses, respect for the earth,

spiritual clarity..undistorted Capricorn energies. Spiritual healer, elder, authority. Resonating with patriarchal

times, Jesus witnessed the delusive/distorted impulse of self-interest, exclusion, man-made laws, dominating and

disfiguring natural impulses.

SN of Mercury 12 Aquarius 2nd house: Correlates to past lifetimes when the original matriarchy was in place,

during which time names and classifications were being given to the phenomenal nature of reality. Fast processing of

information, objective/logical thinking, fixed focus, original.

Question: Where is (or who is) Jesus today

Both of your analysis's of the Planetary Nodes of Jesus are good work. There are a couple of dynamics and issues that

we can consider more. One is rooted in the fact that coming into the life as Jesus he had to relearn certain forms of

humility as evidenced in the fact that a former student in another life, John the Baptist, became the vehicle for his own

baptism. Can we see from the placement of his Planetary Nodes relative to his natal planets why this was a karmic/

evolutionary necessity ? What did the Soul of Jesus do in another life that required this ? And, within this, what can

we see in his past that would have lead to the life of Jesus in the first place ? And why the necessity of being

Crucified ? Another dynamic to examine more deeply would be the Soul psychology of Jesus over many, many

lifetimes that lead to becoming Jesus ? What has that Soul psychology been ? And, because of that psychology, what

types of specific prior lives do he live that all lead to the life of Jesus ? There have been other lives in which he was,

relatively speaking, very known for his various capacities: not lives that were in seclusion at all. Can we see some of

that in his birth chart, and the Planetary Nodes ?

from the placement of his Planetary Nodes relative to his natal planets why this was a karmic/ evolutionary necessity ?

What did the Soul of Jesus do in another life that required this ?

I don't feel clear about where to start with this. The key words you are bringing up: baptism (Pisces), humility (Virgo),

student (Saturn?).

What I understand, is the core implication of Pluto itself, retrograde, in Virgo in the 9th as the ruler of the sn in Scorpio

in 11th= the necessity to learn spiritual humility. This signature can express as being too controlling and overwhelmed

how much work there is to do/getting its message across. Pluto is in opposition to ALL of that Pisces, and is in a

gibbous phase opposition to the Moon Jupiter and Uranus- indicating the evolutionary requirement to learn humility.

Would you mind providing more guidance for tuning into this?

I'm not sure if your saying he was Elisha or Elijah. Either way, the details

aren't important. I tried goggling, and as usual I got A LOT of

information that I can not know one way or another of its accuracy. So

I'm just going to stay focused on the chart in correlation with his

planetary nodes and evolutionary state.

One thing I would be interested in hearing about is Linda's question

about what happened after the life of Jesus. What is that soul up to? My

inner feeling is that he did not reincarnate physically, but rather serves a

collective purpose for the planet.

The south node of Uranus here correlates to how this soul has been on

journey of deconditioning from all past factors that prevent from an

absolute identification with Source. Retrograde in Sagittarius in the 12th

house correlates to a past where he inspired the masses, spoke to the

masses through direct communion with natural law, and yet has become

over zealous and frustrated at the masses. The ruler of that is Jupiter

conjunct Uranus balsamic, in Pisces in the 3rd. These signatures squaring

one another, as well as natal Pluto retrograde in Virgo in the 9th. All This

points to what this soul has been deconditioning from, and the specific

karma that has lead to this life from the point of view of these signatures.

As a result of being frustrated, this soul has used it's natural powers, has

"broken the ordinary rules of nature" (sn of Uranus in Sag, Jupiter conj

Uranus) to perform miracles, or get a point across (in the 12th, squaring

Pluto in the 9th= obsessed with it's own version of the truth, and was full

of itself, also squaring the Pisces Jupiter Uranus= was frustrated and

took advantage of its powers).

The fact of Uranus (the natal planet of the sn of Uranus) as well as

Jupiter (the ruling planet of the sn of Uranus) being in the 3rd house in

Pisces, correlates to how this soul has over compensated in the way that it

did. The answer would have been possibly through the use of words,

hands, water, communication of some sort- all of this involving perhaps

facets of nature (Jupiter, Sag, 9th house) or water (Pisces, 12th).

All this points to a past whereby he was very well known on a public level

(Pisces/ 12th) as well as Neptune on the Lunar sn.

So coming to the life of Jesus, why was it necessary for him to be

baptized by John? Perhaps the reason would have been to teach Jesus

that he can only do what is God's will, not his own will, necessitating a

process of purification by water (Pisces, 12th) by a revolutionary

(Uranus).

It's really hard for me to muster any more depth than I have. I'm going to

continue to listen to your feedback and what other people write here.

Thank you so much, it feels really good to be working with this chart.

Many have wondered over the centuries since his life about he did in his early life before he was to become known as

the prophet Jesus. There is a great cap in the Bible between roughly the age of 12 and 30 years of age. So where was

he ? What were those years about ? Are we able to see in his birth chart any clues to what he did in those years ? Do

the planetary nodes off any clues ?

I love the way you've been asking those socratic questions Rad! You too are a great teacher. Well its hard for me to

look at that one with a clear mind bc I've heard so much about those years as it is... nevertheless I'm going to detach

from that and give it a go.

To find the answer to such a question, I imagine we'd have to work backwards. Based on the evolutionary intention

implied in the chart relative to the circumstances of his life and his ea state, what did he necessarily need to go through

in order to fulfill his purpose?

First, the purpose: To exemplify the Truth as directed by God. This is specifically linked to the use of words and the

performance of miracles. To heal and inspire with truth. In order to do that, and recognizing that purification was

necessary first, we'd look into the chart to understand what the developmental process would have been.

The sn is in Scorpio in the 11th, and its ruler Pluto in the 9th with respect to the square to the planetary nodes in Sag

clearly implies having been a part of various communities within which spiritual teaching and training took place. I'm

focusing on the sn because the sn implies priorlife egocentric structure, thus I imagine this would be something that

would be relived to some degree in order to create the space for his dharma to unfold. So this would point to travel,

long periods of time alone in communion with Truth and other necessary preparations that have to do with burning all

remaining separating desires.

I suppose geodetics would be appropriate here as well- especially given the strong emphasis on travel. I'm not familiar

yet with how to read that map. Does Leo=Egypt through Geodetics, or is that just an association for the astrological the

ages? I would look into the Geodetic equivalent for Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces. Given the connection to the Sag

sn's, perhaps Sagittarius too...

Children Mario Montessori Sr.

Maria Montessori (August 32, 1870 May 6, 1952) was an Italian physician and educator, a noted humanitarian and

devout Catholic best known for the philosophy of education which bears her name. Her educational method is in use

today in public as well as private schools throughout the world.

Contents

Maria Montessori was born in 1870 in Chiaravalle (Ancona), Italy, to Alessandro Montessori and Renilde Stoppani

(niece of Antonio Stoppani).[1] At the age of thirteen she attended an all-boy technical school in preparation for her

dream of becoming an engineer.[2] Montessori was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome La

Sapienza Medical School, becoming one of the first female doctors in Italy. She was a member of the University's

Psychiatric Clinic and became intrigued with trying to educate the "special needs" or "unhappy little ones"[3] and the

"uneducatable" in Rome. In 1896, she gave a lecture at the Educational Congress in Torino about the training of the

disabled. The Italian Minister of Education was in attendance, and, sufficiently impressed by her arguments, appointed

her the same year as director of the Scuola Ortofrenica, an institution devoted to the care and education of the mentally

retarded. She accepted, in order to put her theories to proof. Her first notable success was to have several of her 8 year

old students apply to take the State examinations for reading and writing. The "defective" children not only passed, but

had above-average scores, an achievement described as "the first Montessori miracle."[4] Montessori's response to their

success was "if mentally disabled children could be brought to the level of normal children then (she) wanted to study

the potential of 'normal' children".[5]

"Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process

spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon

the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over

a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the

great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the

human soul and to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to

direct and shape the future of human society".[6]

Because of her success with these children, she was asked to start a school for children in a housing project in Rome,

which opened on January 6, 1907, and which she called "Casa dei Bambini" or Children's House. Children's House

was a child care center in an apartment building in the poor neighborhood of Rome. She was focused on teaching the

students ways to develop their own skills at a pace they set, which was a principle Montessori called "spontaneous self-

development".[7] A wide variety of special equipment of increasing complexity is used to help direct the interests of the

child and hasten development. When a child is ready to learn new and more difficult tasks, the teacher guides the

child's first endeavors in order to avoid wasted effort and the learning of wrong habits; otherwise the child learns alone.

It has been reported that the Montessori method of teaching has enabled children to learn to read and write much more

quickly and with greater facility than has otherwise been possible.[8] The Montessori Method of teaching concentrates

on quality rather than quantity.[6] The success of this school sparked the opening of many more, and a worldwide

interest in Montessori's methods of education.

After the 1907 establishment of Montessori's first school in Rome, by 1917 there was an intense interest in her method

in North America, which later waned, in large part due[citation needed] to the publication of a small booklet entitled

"The Montessori System Examined" by William Heard Kilpatrick - a follower of John Dewey. (Nancy McCormick

Rambusch contributed to the revival of the method in America by establishing the American Montessori Society in

1960); at the same time Margaret Stephenson came to the US from Europe and began a long history of training

Montessori teachers under the auspices of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Montessori was exiled by

Mussolini mostly because[citation needed] she refused to compromise her principles and make the children into

soldiers. She moved to Spain and lived there until 1936 when the Spanish Civil War broke out. She then moved to the

Netherlands until 1939.

In the year 1939, the Theosophical Society of India extended an invitation asking Maria Montessori to visit India. She

accepted the invitation and reached India the very same year accompanied by her only son, Mario Montessori Sr. This

heralded the beginning of her special relationship with India. She made the international Headquarters of the

Theosophical Society at Adyar, Chennai, her home. However the war forced her to extend her stay in India. With the

help of her son, Mario, she conducted sixteen batches of courses called the Indian Montessori Training Courses. These

courses laid a strong foundation for the Montessori Movement in India. In 1949 when she left for The Netherlands she

appointed Albert Max Joosten as her personal representative, and assigned him the responsibility of conducting the

Indian Montessori Training Courses. Joosten along with Swamy S R, another disciple of Montessori, continued her

work and ensured that the Montessori Movement in India was on a sound footing.

During a teachers conference in India she was interned by the authorities and lived there for the duration of the war.

Montessori lived out the remainder of her life in the Netherlands, which now hosts the headquarters of the AMI, or

Association Montessori Internationale. She died in Noordwijk aan Zee. Her son Mario headed the AMI until his death

in 1982.

Maria Montessori died in the Netherlands in 1952, after a lifetime devoted to the study of child development. Her

success in Italy led to international recognition, and for over 40 years she traveled all over the world, lecturing, writing

and establishing training programs. In later years, 'Educate for Peace' became a guiding principle, which underpinned

her work

Let's start with your own desires to connect to natal planets to the planetary nodes. There is so much in her chart that

speaks to the nature of her life, and the history of her Soul, that set up the life that she lived: the relationship between

the natal planets and her planetary nodes. For example, the exact conjunction of her S.Node of the Moon to the

S.Node of Pluto, and by a couple of degrees to her S.Node of Saturn. These then refer to her natal Saturn in

Sagittarius which is also conjunct S.Nodes of Venus and Jupiter. And, of course, that natal Neptune in Aries in the 9th

is then squaring her Nodal Axis, and those S.Nodes Of Pluto and Saturn. At the same time that Neptune is trining her

Saturn, and the S.Nodes of Venus and Jupiter. So the question would then be what has her Soul done prior the the life

as Montessori to set up that life ?

imilarly to fellow Catholic theologian/scientists Teilhard de Chardin and

Thomas Berry (among others), and in a way not unlike the spiritual

science of Rudolf Steiner, Montessori looked carefully and deeply into

the world of nature and found, not isolated material entities interacting

mechanically, but a living and purposeful Cosmos. All things are part of

the universe, and are connected with each other to form one whole

unity (Montessori, 1973, p. . She was deeply impressed by he harmony

she discerned in the natural world, the ecology of existence that gives

every living thing a meaningful function in the larger system. Every

species, indeed every individual organism, contributes to the good of the

whole by performing its inherent cosmic function. This harmony has

not emerged randomly, but expresses a pre-established plan that is of

divine origin; she was convinced that the purpose of life is to obey the

occult command which harmonizes all and creates an ever better

world (Montessori, 1989b). The Cosmos is engaged in a process of

evolution toward ever greater harmonytoward the fulfillment of Gods

mysterious purpose.

The guiding belief of Montessoris educational philosophy, the

fundamental point around which all her principles and techniques

revolve, is her conviction that humanity has its own special function to

fulfill in this divine evolution. The human species is Gods prime agent in

creation and it is our responsibility to learn to do more effectively our

share of work in the cosmic plan (Montessori, 1973, pp. 26, 33).

Evolution is not yet complete; Gods purpose has not yet been achieved,

and the mission of human life is to give expression to the formative forces

within us that are yearning to complete the cosmic plan. We are called to

work in partnership with the divine. This understanding of our existence

places all our endeavorsour cultural, political, economic, and even our

most personal strivingsin an entirely spiritual light: The world was not

created for us to enjoy, Montessori proclaims, but we are created in

order to evolve the cosmos (Montessori 1989b, p. 22). In an earlier essay

(Miller, 2000), I argued that this striking statement is consistent with the

teachings of great moral sages such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham

Heschel, and Krishnamurti, who all similarly asserted that we are on this

Earth to contribute to the unfolding of divine justice, harmony and

wisdom, not merely to amuse ourselves or satisfy our many material and

sensual desires. In this light, education is not to be seen merely as

preparation for a successful career or any sort of social or intellectual

distinction; rather, education is the process of awakening the divine

formative forces within every persons soul that enable the individual to

make his or her own unique contribution to the cosmic plan, to fulfill his

or her own destiny.

Montessori wrote that humanitys role in evolution is to construct a

supra-naturea social, cultural and technological extension of nature

that calls forth ever greater dimensions of human creativity and

understandinga notion very similar to Teilhard de Chardins

noosphere. This is humanitys task because we, more than any other

living species, can receive the emanations of the Godhead and

transform divine plans into physical and cultural manifestations

(Montessori, 1972a, p. 35). But she repeatedly observed that our material

and technological progress had far outpaced our psychological, moral and

spiritual development, and in the twentieth century it was imperative that

we make a determined effort toward remedying this imbalance. Modern

societies, due to their pervasive materialism, have neglected the spiritual

forces that animate the human being, and our institutions, particularly

schooling, have become repressive and damaging, turning people into

slaves of the machine rather than cultivating their spiritual sensitivity,

she wrote. Modern people are ill prepared to deal with the great moral

challenges of our age, and are unable to resist the demons of nationalism

and war that threaten to engulf the world.

To address this imbalance, Montessori envisioned a curriculum for

elementary school students that she called cosmic education. The

purpose of this approach is to provide the young person with an

expansive, inspiring vision of the grandeur of the universe and ones

personal destiny within it. This is an education that gives life meaning

because all aspects of creation are shown to fit into a complex,

interconnected whole that is far larger than our customary limited

worldview. Aline D. Wolf comments that The value of cosmic education,

as I see it, is that it places the childs life in a spiritual perspective. No one

can be confronted with the cosmic miracle and not see that there is more

to life than our everyday experiences. Fast foods, designer sneakers,

video games and sports heroes all pale beside the wonder of the universe

(Wolf, 1996, p. 97).

Cosmic education lifts the young persons consciousness out of the

mundane, materialistic concerns of modern society and instills a sense of

awe, touching a receptive and searching force within the soul. This is

exactly the sort of spiritual reconstruction that Montessori intended

when she spoke at several international peace conferences in the 1930s,

and asserted that only the spiritual renewal of humankind through

education, not any superficial economic or political effort, could alter the

violent course of human history: The real danger threatening humanity

is the emptiness in mens souls; all the rest is merely a consequence of this

emptiness (Montessori, 1972a, pp. 44, 53). In recognition of her efforts,

Montessori was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949, 1950 and

1951.

To me, this soul seems to be later parts of spiritual state. Perhaps early

third

spiritual.

Wow, what an amazing chart example of a fruition condition. Her sn and

its ruler are all conjunct various planetary south nodes, plus all the nn

planets conjunct the lunar north node. This soul has come in with a

particular purpose to do this work and has in fact been very much in

preparation for this prior to this life.One of her purposes was to dissolve

the social constructs that create gender differentiation (Nepune in Aries

on the MC, first quarter square to Capricorn sn).

This is one of the signatures in the chart that explain why she came into

this life as a female. Prior to this life, this soul's underlying intention has

been to devote itself to a form of service that would provide a solid

foundation and structure for society that is more aligned with natural law.

It's clear that she has been highly involved in participating in the social

outlet and is well accustomed to operating within the current structures

of the status quo to actualize her special purpose. However, the key in

this life has been to pay attention to HOW the current social reality is

structured, and meticulously apply herself to that. All this is implied by

Sn in Cap in the 6th, ruled Saturn in Sag in the 5th which is a full phase

inconjunct with Pluto in the 10th. Her soul knows patience and tenacity,

and has lived prior lives at ceaselessly working towards her cause, and

sacrificing what personal desires were necessary in order to

fulfill her purpose (Pluto in Taurus in the 10th, sn in Cap in the 6th).

The nature of this purpose has been to revolutionize the understanding of

social conditiong and create new forms based on a higher intuition of

what human potential is all about (sn ruler Saturn in Sag in the 5th ruled

by and in a full phase opposition to Jupiter in Gemini in the 11th). She

has been participating in

society, interfacing with the current status quo in order to do this, for a

long time now.

The question for her soul has been how. How to make these changes.

Again the full phase inconjunct between Saturn and Pluto. How to

introduce these new ideas, collect the right information such that her

special purpose can be accepted into the social sphere. This is the nature

of the evolutionary requirement to create new structure. However the

point of this chart, also given her evolutionary state, has been to do the

work that is necessary in order to bring forth a divine plan into social

reality. The Neptune skipped step implies the unresolved intention to do

just that. In prior lives, she was not able to achieve the necessary social

credentials to succeed to the extent that the soul has been guided to do so.

Another spin on this, is simply that the skipped step implies that prior

lives have been building to this point, and she simply hasn't been able to/

prepared enough. and in the life of Montessori the soul was ready to

embrace constructive action (square) that will enable her special purpose

to unfold for the masses.

As to the connection between natal planets and planetary nodes:

The sn of Pluto and Saturn conj the sn in Capricorn all retrograde, and

the ruler of the sn, Saturn conjunct the south nodes of Venus and

Jupiter, also retrograde in Sag in the 5th. All of Saturn activity is trine

natal Neptune in Aries in the 11th, and except for the sn of Jupiter, is

also trine natal Venus in Leo in the

1st.

This all implies that she has been a mentor in the past, and has come in

with the special purpose to teach and educatate the masses. Focusing on

Saturn first, its sn is conjuct the sn of the Moon. Thus this soul's prior life

identity was gravitated and centered around working within and fitting

into the current social reality in order to express her vision. With the NN

of saturn conjunct the lunar north node, this also implies that she comes

from a very rich past during the matriarchy of having been a leader and

educator of sorts. The linkage to the 5th house Saturn says something

about her relaitonship to children, raising them, guiding them in the

context of natural law.

The sn of Jupiter is retro in Sag in the 5th conjunct natal Saturn. It is the

past of the current life Jupiter in Gemini in the 11th to which it opposes.

This corresponds to a soul that has had an expansive vision as it relates to

the underlying comsmological understanding of creation in general- and

thus children- and has been developing this understanding by way of

teaching for a long time now. The challenge has been to share this with

the community, to actually apply the understanding in a way that is

concrete and logically sound. The gibbous phase opposion implies she has

been working on just that, culminating to this life such that she can

communicate the intuitive ideas in ways that are both inspiring,

expansive and empiricle to the best that she can. Note that the nn of

Jupiter is exactly conjunct the lunar nn. Such a powerful chart!

The south node of Venus on that saturn, also retrograde, as the past of

the current life Venus in Leo in the 1st implies that she has valued and

found personal meaning in her life through her unique purpose and has

been highly self focused as a result. The combination of Fire and Neptune

(trine) imply a passionate comittment to do god's work. The fact of it

being retrograde again points to there having been an over doing it-

relative to Saturn, the question has been, did it work? Did she succeed in

the way that she wanted to? There is such a LARGE and expansive

quality to her soul, has she been tactful enough to execute the spiritual

purpose? It seems that the challenges in the past have been about that.

Like some sort of teacher, mentor who was not seen and entirely

succesful, and clearly persecuted, though still had a great impact.

I'm going to stop here and allow some time for this information to

integrate.

I think it'll also be a great practice to create a cosmogram with her sn and

then another with Saturn. Given the strong connections to her sn, this

would in fact indicate where she has been- and pivitol lifetimes prior to

montessori that were pivitol in the life of montessori.... i'll try to make

some time for that, though it may be later in the next week that I can

actually focus on this again. I'm super busy, ironically with astrology that

I can't practice astrology too much right now. Thank you for this

amazing learning experience Rad. I look forward to reading your

feedback and Linda's work.

Excellent, just excellent. It seems to me too that she has had very, very

unique ideas of not only how to educate, but in many different areas as

well. And that she has attracted the wrath of the consensus via violent

opposition to those unique ideas because of those in the consensus

feeling threatened by her: the Neptune in Aries in her 9th, squaring her

Nodes, the S.Nodes of Pluto and Saturn as well. And that Neptune also

squares her Mars in Cancer. So those 'skipped steps' could have a lot to

do with her being blocked by those powers that be, her feeling crushed

and defeated because of.

The Pluto opposed Jupiter also suggests this. It's interesting too that she

ended up in India because that, to me, is one of her original homelands.

S.Nodes of Venus, Mercury and Mars are in her 3rd, the Jupiter in

Gemini. Thus, through geodetic equivalents this then connects to India.
