Crepuscular Rays

Besides the beauty of rainbows, another wonderful form of inspiration in the daytime sky is what are called "crepuscular rays". You have probably seen these spreading, white rays of sunlight shining down through an opening in the clouds and just not given them such a fancy name.

I live on the north shore of a lake, where I have been able to get a good view of the vast sky and, in particular, the characteristics of crepuscular rays. What I have noticed is that, when there is an astrological sextile aspect of another planet to the Sun, the crepuscular rays spread out by sixty degrees - a sextile aspect being sixty degrees! When there is a trine aspect of another planet to the Sun, the rays spread out by one hundred and twenty degrees - the same as a trine!

So, what you can observe with crepuscular rays is a direct correspondence between the observable sky and the angles between the celestial bodies! Metaphysicists would say that God's creation is manifesting on the earth from the Infinite, and that the flow of Light from the Astral Plane to the Physical Plane can actually be observed in the phenomenon of crepuscular rays.

An article in the June 2006 issue of Astronomy magazine entitled "Stargazing in Ancient Egypt" suggests a connection here too. The authors, Patricia Blackwell Gary and Richard Talcott stated:

"Many Egyptologists claim the pyramids' inspiration may have been an atmospheric phenomenon known as crepuscular rays. Intermittent clouds can break the sunlight into separate beams of light, and perspective effects make them appear to fan out from the Sun."

The pyramids were built with one hundred and twenty-degree angles, like the trines in astrology. The Egyptians were very aware of astrology. For example, Ptolemy's works describe his observations of the sky and their corresponding astrological indicators.

So, instead of watching television, go out and observe the patterns in the sky and receive inspiration from the gods!
