Astrology and Ufology

To the extent that these belief systems are spiritually oriented, contemporary astrology and ufology reflect a traditional tendency to locate the realm of the sacred in the celestial realms.

Despite the widespread presence of astrology in contemporary society, most people are familiar with only a tiny portion of this subject, namely, the 12 signs of the Zodiac as they relate to the person ality of individuals and the use of astrology for divinatory purposes. The Zodiac (literally: “circle of animals”) is the belt constituted by the 12 signs-Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The assumption of the Zodiac is ancient, with sources in the early citied Mesopotamian cultures. The first 12-sign Zodiacs were taken from the name the gods from those cultures. The Greeks astrology is adopted from Babylonians, and then the Romans adopted the astrology from Greeks. These peoples change the name of the terms of the Mesopotamian Zodiac, which is why the renowned Zodiac of the West have the names out of Mediterranean gods.

From a historical view, symbolism of zodiac can be found anywhere, and expressions on zodiac are used in English linguistic (e.g.,“bull-headed,”for to Taurus;“crab,” an for Cancer; and so on). The popularity sign astrology of the Sun (often found in daily newspaper) has allowed these symbols to exist in modern community, so that even such things as car took an astrological name (e.g., the Ford Taurus).

Astrological symbolism has also been associated with several UFO abduction experiences. In one case, a Southern California woman claimed that during her abduction her back had been marked with a symbol resembling the astrological glyph for Jupiter. In certain other cases, hypnotized abductees recall seeing the symbol for the planet Saturn.

When Samuel Eaton Thompson met a group of Venusians in 1950, they revealed to him that the reason for the earth’s problems is that earthlings are all born under different astrological signs. On other planets, all the people are of the same astrological sign-that of the planet. It seemed that earthlings had lived lives on other planets before being exiled to the earth. Thompson learned that all people who fulfill their mission in life return to the planet of their sign when they die.
