Sacred Wisdom Of The Planets

The seven ancient planets discussed in Sacred Wisdom Of The Planets are the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and the South and North nodes of the Moon. As most people know, the Sun and Moon are not officially planets, but when studying the zodiac they are intentionally calculated as such and called luminaries. This text discusses these planets and their symbolic qualities. It offers key correspondences with their zodiac attributes and gives detailed interpretations involving their mystical and worldly natures. The interpretations of these nine celestial orbs bridge cultural boundaries and subtlety combine similarities between Eastern and Western analysis of the planets. Renown sacred artist Pieter Weltevrede’s illustrations are found throughout these pages. They are based on Tantric Scholar Shri Harish Johari’s renditions of the teachings of ancient Indian seers.
