Michael on The Astrology of Subpersonalities

 

Quite spontaneously – at an OMW on Subpersonalities – Michael started to talk about Astrology. They described how the Natal Chart can be broken into Quadrants, how to “read” Planet placement by Quadrant, how Quadrants/Planet placement describes your “life work” and your “journey” through the Internal Monads. They went on to discuss the meaning of Planets placed above and below the horizon and the meaning/description of each Planet – all from The Michael Teachings perspective.

 

MEntity:  Part of how your Essence creates you is by using Astrology.

 

MEntity:  The planetary arrangements at the time of your conception and the time of your birth, both, play tremendous factors in what is potential within your Personality.

 

MEntity:  Most of the influences at the time of conception are focused on the development of the Body, while the influences at the time of birth are focused on the Personality.

 

MEntity:  In looking at your Natal Chart, the first three Houses are what would be described as the First Quadrant; the next three would be the Second; the next three, the Third, and 10, 11, and 12 are the Fourth.

 

MEntity:  If one were to think of the Natal Chart as the garden we described earlier, the Planets "sprinkled" among this are the Seeds at birth.

 

MEntity:  Those Planets in the First Quadrant, if any, would be those that develop almost immediately and build as a kind of core for the lifetime. These usually indicate the Subpersonalities that will require the most healing, often carried over by themes from other lifetimes, or Karma, etc, and so the life begins building those, first.

 

MEntity:  Those Planets in the Second Quadrant might describe the Subpersonalities that would spring to life after the 2nd Internal Monad and into the 3rd, and would be most obvious in realms of relationships, family, contributions, etc.

 

MEntity:  Those Planets in the Third Quadrant might describe those Subpersonalities that spring to life during the 4th Internal Monad, and would show up most obviously in your chosen relationships, and your sense of identity as it relates to "the world."

 

MEntity:  Where the Second Quadrant relates to default relationships (family, etc), the Third relates to chosen relationships, which may include family, but is often friendships, long-term matedness, partnerships, etc.

 

MEntity:  The Third also includes the sense of relationship within, or to the self.

 

MEntity:  And the Fourth Quadrant would house Planets that represent the Subpersonalities that might spring to life in the 5th Internal Monad, or in the sense of place in the cosmos, humanity, the earth, etc.

 

MEntity:  Any Planets below the horizon, or in Houses 1-6, would be those representing more unconscious or default Subpersonalities that either eventually dominate, or evolve, and these often start at the lower end of the degrees of fulfillment (1 to 4).

 

MEntity:  Any Planets above the horizon, or in Houses 7 - 12, would be those representing more obvious, or conscious Subpersonalities that may behave almost seamlessly with "you," fulfilling degrees of 5 or higher for any relevant Need/Want/Seed.

 

MEntity:  This might become obvious when looking at the symbolism, as those Houses below the horizon describe context that are usually already in momentum before consciousness has a chance to build, and therefore must build up from within those contexts.

 

MEntity:  To the degree that your Planets are below the Horizon is the degree to which your Essence probably intended very specific plans for "you."

 

MEntity:  Many who are in a 6th Level will find a bulk of Planets below the Horizon, for instance.

 

MEntity:  With some creativity, some of you may find correlation between the known Planets, their symbolism, and the 9 Seeds we already described, but if you cannot find correlation, that is to be expected.

 

MEntity:  These are different ways of mapping, so they may not correlate easily.

 

MEntity:  Before we describe the Planets as they symbolize the influences that become your Subpersonalities that become "you," we will ask now if there are any questions about what we have shared so far.

 

DavidB:  ***

 

MEntity:  Yes, David.

 

DavidB:  What could be said of Essence's plan for someone with a majority of planets above the horizon? For example, 9 of my 10 are.

 

DavidB:  I'm asking generally, of course.

 

Martha:  me too, 3rd quad is loaded

 

AnnH:  So is mine

 

MEntity:  If the bulk of your Planets are above the Horizon, it may indicate the degree to which the overall life was "unplanned" to any degree of detail, which means those with the bulk above horizon might often feel that the life is either a meandering and wandering, or with a momentum and no one really driving.

 

DavidB:  ok.

 

MEntity:  However, to the degree that a Quadrant is dense with planets is the degree to which that area of the life might then "kick in" the "plans" that may have been most-intended.

 

Martha:  aha

 

Martha:  so loaded 3rd quad hits during 4th IM

 

Maureen:  So if someone has a 'loaded' 12th house - their 'real' work might 'kick in' during the 5th IM?

 

MEntity:  If a Quadrant is completely free of any Planets, that Quadrant is often as a major emphasis for the life as a major context, free from biases and influences and Subpersonalities.

 

DavidB:  Do you have any particular house system in mind to divide 1st quadrant from 2nd and 3rd from 4th?

 

MEntity:  For instance, our Channel, Troy, has Houses 10 through 12 free, which allows us to come through to a degree that is free from most anything "Troy," as he is focused elsewhere in his life.

 

MEntity:  Maureen, that would be one way that it shows up, but it may also be said that it would "kick in" within the context of contributions to humanity or the bigger picture, and does not require the passage of the 5th Internal Monad.

 

MEntity:  Though, often, those with a density in 4th Quadrant do find the clarity and sense of purpose during or after the 5th Internal Monad.

 

AnnH:  If I have houses 2-5 free, what would that mean?

 

Maureen:  My first Quadrant could be considered 'empty' - how would that show up?

 

EricM:  heh, and my first quadrant is jam packed

 

Maureen:  

 

Martha:  my second is empty

 

MEntity:  We know there are various House Systems, so we suggest experimenting and using the one that makes sense to you, as they are all symbolic, and what resonates with you is yours.

 

Geraldine:  My 3rd and 4th are nearly empty -- it's like I should have died long ago

 

Martha:  lol

 

DavidB:  ok, thanks Michael.

 

DavidB:  I have a 4/5 split between the 3rd and 4th using Placidus.

 

DavidB:  with 5 in the 3rd.

 

Diane_H:  8 of my 10 planets are mostly in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants.

 

MEntity:  Again, when a Quadrant is empty, it usually becomes a non-charged, but major underlying theme throughout everything.

 

MEntity:  Biases and Subpersonalities will not affect that Quadrant.

 

DavidB:  Neptune is alone in my first. poor guy.

 

Martha:  it's alone in my 4th

 

MEntity:  In your case, Maureen, it might be said that the perception of the inner self, the core of a person, their wounds, their past, their needs for healing, etc can be seen as crystal clear to you.

 

MEntity:  You just "know."

 

Martha:  I saw you do that at Claymont, Maureen

 

Maureen:  

 

MEntity:  The density or lack of Planets in a Quadrant has no bearing on how long the life will be or should be.

 

MEntity:  They are contexts.

 

MEntity:  And while some activations occur in the context of linear progression, activations also occur in the contexts of categories/relationships.

 

EricM:  So then a packed first quadrant would then suggest many subpersonalities dealing with the core or the self, or a heavily planned lifetime?

 

MEntity:  Both.

 

EricM:  interesting

 

MEntity:  It would most likely indicate that, at least, Essence's idea for this lifetime was to deal with patterns that are across lifetimes, and the Subpersonalities required for this would get a head start, very early in the life.

 

MEntity:  We point out here that your Astrology gives you an idea for what Essence thought was a good plan and idea for this life, and what YOU did with that can be a very different story.

 

MEntity:  NOW, on to the Planets and their symbolism.

 

DavidB:  ah, yes.

 

Geraldine:  (this pause makes me think all of this upcoming information is not only new but due to symbolism isn't easy to translate)

 

MEntity:  First, the SUN will represent the True and False Personality, or how the Personality will show up in terms of manifesting Unity or Division, or Love vs Fear, or Essence vs Defenses, etc.

 

MEntity:  Depending on where your Sun is, it can give you insights into how you run the whole of "you."

 

MEntity:  This would be the "I" of you.

 

MEntity:  It is often a meeting or battling ground, and indicates the aim of synthesis, for the Subpersonalities for the lifetime.

 

MEntity:  Using our channel's Sun Sign as an example, we could say that all of his Subpersonalities meet, battle, and evolve relative to his Sun in the Second Quadrant of default relationships, in his 6th House as it is ruled by Aquarius.

 

MEntity:  Translating this would mean that most of Troy's Subpersonalities battle or harmonize as they work through the default relationships that contributed to their births, and this is then played out in the realm of his Health, Responsibilities, and True Work/Life Tasks.

 

MEntity:  We will not describe the contexts for each individual House at this time, but a quick glance at the system can give you insight as to where your own Subpersonalities battle or harmonize in your life.

 

MEntity:  The House that the Sun is in would give you that insight.

 

MEntity:  The Sign would give you the aim of Synthesis for the lifetime that these Subpersonalities would bring. For instance, Troy's would find Synthesis through the higher qualities that are Aquarian, which includes humanitarianism, equal rights, sharing of knowledge, wisdom, etc.

 

MEntity:  The rest of the Planets would describe the Seeds, in the context of Astrology, that were planted as potential developments of Subpersonalities for the Personality.

 

MEntity:  Keep in mind:

 

MEntity:  Those Planets BELOW the horizon indicate Subpersonalities that probably already exist, and have existed from childhood, and have either evolved in status or remain problematic.

 

MEntity:  Those Planets ABOVE the horizon indicate those Subpersonalities that may have developed mid-life, or in broader contexts of chosen relationships and relationships to humanity or spirit.

 

MEntity:  The MOON can indicate the most unconscious of your Subpersonalities, where your greatest potential for True Personality could come, and is loosely relevant to the Seed of EXPRESSION.

 

MEntity:  In other words, the Moon indicates what truly motivates your presence in the world, and often this is unconscious, but when it becomes conscious and accepted, this becomes a path for True Personality.

 

MEntity:  The Subpersonalities that arise from this are usually relevant to Expression, and indicates the most sensitive of Subpersonalities.

 

MEntity:  If this Planet is below the Horizon, it probably means you developed a sensitivity early in life regarding your Expression in the world, and this sprung forth Subpersonalities as a result.

 

MEntity:  If this Planet is above the Horizon, it may be something that did not come into question until later in life, or at least it did not become a matter of awareness until then.

 

MEntity:  We will speed through the rest more briefly, as we know this class has gone long.

 

MEntity:  MERCURY indicates those Subpersonalities that may have sprung up relative to EXCHANGE, and relative to your ATTITUDE as it began to show in you.

 

MEntity:  VENUS indicates those Subpersonalities that may have sprung up relative to COMMUNION, and relative to how your MODE functions in you.

 

MEntity:  MARS indicates those Subpersonalities that may have sprung up relative to ADVENTURE, and how your Goal functions for you.

 

MEntity:  JUPITER indicates those Subpersonalities that may have sprung up relative to EXPANSION, and the pursuit of creating meaning.

 

MEntity:  SATURN indicates those Subpersonalities that may have sprung up relative to SECURITY, and those that arose to implement your Chief Negative Features.

 

MEntity:  URANUS indicates those Subpersonalities that arose as seekers of The Truth in your life, managing your Higher Intellectual Center, and relative to POWER.

 

MEntity:  NEPTUNE indicates those Subpersonalities arose as seekers of Love/Agape in the life, managing your Higher Emotional Center, and relative to ACCEPTANCE.

 

MEntity:  PLUTO indicates those Subpersonalities that arose as seekers of BEAUTY (or identifying patterns within chaos), managing your Higher Moving Center, and relative to FREEDOM.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

MEntity:  Putting together what we have shared today, then, can help you to understand the fragmentation that is within you in a way that is not seen as "broken," but is seen as the very matrix from which "you" spring, and that to care for those fragments is to care for you.

 

MEntity:  To communicate with, understand, and implement that understanding of those fragments, or Subpersonalities, within you is to reach within for the wholeness that would then allow you to reach beyond you in ways that may never been thought possible, or even imagined.

 

MEntity:  In effect, this is what Essence does for every Personality in the end.

 

MEntity:  And it is only then that the Cycling Off occurs.

 

MEntity:  Cycling off cannot occur without Essence fully comprehending a profound depth of Truth, Love, and Beauty that is the entirety of its path through every Personality, who, each, gave rise to that possibility for Essence to comprehend that very Truth, Love, and Beauty.

 

MEntity:  And so it is that a relative profundity is experienced by any Personality who understands what gave rise to its very consciousness within the lifetime.

 

 

 

ADDENDUM: March 19, 2012:

 

Maureen:  I would like clarification on Michael assigning POWER to Uranus and FREEDOM to Pluto at Subpersonalities Workshop on May 7, 201. Please explain from your perspective how POWER fits with Uranus and FREEDOM fits with Pluto.

 

MEntity:  We would say that this is just a matter of context. As the Subpersonalities arise from a search for truth, the influence and symbolism of this planet <Uranus> is fitting, as it pushes for shifts in perceptions and insights.

 

MEntity:  Truth, or knowledge, then, tends to be empowering, bringing about the capacity for more influential and effective presence.

 

MEntity:  Pluto, in this context, is relative to those patterns of transformations within the life that are freeing, or often symbolic or literal "deaths" that move one into a different circle of experience.

 

MEntity:  Once one is free from the confines of one pattern, the greater patterns can be seen, or Freedom arises.

 

MEntity:  That was part of our logic in associating these.

 

Maureen:  Great answer Michael. I really like it when context is broadened, it opens up our "view". Thanks

 

MEntity]: Does this make sense to you, then?

 

Maureen:  yes it does

 

MEntity:  That is the teaching and lessons of the Old Soul: Context.

 

MEntity:  Context is "everything."

 

MEntity:  The same thing takes on completely different meaning when context is changed. A man with a gun on his back, aiming up at a man with a knife is different from a man on his feet in a mask with a gun aimed at a bank teller.

 

MEntity:  The gun is still the same, no matter where it is, but the context changes everything about the story of that gun.

 

MEntity:  The same can be said of any object, person, experience, relationship, etc. And this is the crux of our teaching. YOU - in context. The whole of you. In context.
