The Lights and Planets
Esoteric Astrology
This is not an article on esoteric astrology—and this is
what we are wandering into here. It would take a book
to present the picture in full, but let's take a quick tour of
this concept, since this is perhaps the best way to
introduce the outer planets.
The outer planets are just that, what is beyond Saturn—
what is beyond the physical. When we go sailing past
our Saturn return at around 30 years of age, we are
heading for those planets outside of Saturn—to the
transcendental. My esoteric teacher used to say,
"transcend-dental," meaning, literally, “beyond the teeth”
and therefore beyond the physical. The next outer
planet, Uranus, does not complete its orbit until around
the 84th year, so there is a huge gap before we will be
forced to get its message. In fact, we will have Saturn
wrapping two times around before the experience of
Uranus is completed once.
