At current best-guess the universe is roughly 13.7 billion years old and our Milky Way Galaxy, which hosts an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars, is roughly 13.2 billion years old.
It’s believed our solar system, which comprises the Sun, Moon, Earth, 8 planets and other terrestrial bodies such as comets and asteroids, formed spontaneously about 4.5 – 4.6 billion years ago.
Planetary scientists place the age of the Earth at 4.54 billion years and the age of the Moon at 4.47 billion years, but these estimates get revised.
The Sun is a fixed star and Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are wanderers that orbit the Sun.
The Moon orbits the Earth and, even though Pluto was downgraded to ‘dwarf planet’ status in August 2006, Hermetic astrology refers to these ten dynamic fixtures of our solar system as the planets.
Hermetic astrology teaches that ever since their spontaneous creation the planets have been radiating astral wavelengths and frequencies that have played the key role in the evolution of life here on Earth.
So, long before the first cell-life employed psychokinesis to get the chemical mix right about 3.7 billion years ago; and the earliest animals emerged about 50 million years ago; and the first Adam walked the Earth around 200 to 300,000 years ago, the stage was set for the planets to direct and produce the greatest show on Earth.
The astral radiations they transmit, that have yet to be detected by the most advanced Aquarian Age technology, have their mental correlates in your not-conscious soul-mind and are easy to observe. Through the law of association thoughts and feelings having the same vibratory rates congregate into thought-cell groups that connect you to the universe. As receiving sets they pick up and transmit, at times that can be predetermined, the astral energies radiated by the planets.
The Sun
The Sun – the closest star to Earth – is the glorious conductor of this thing called life. It warms our planet, stirs our atmosphere, powers the weather and, by giving energy to growing plants, provides the food and oxygen that allows you to live and grow.

The Sun has an electromagnetic energy field, an astral energy field and a spiritual energy field and each planet, cutting this huge energy field, in turn becomes a transformer and transmitter of electromagnetic, astral-thought and spiritual-moral energies.
