T.N.G. SIGNS OF THE TIMES - N.M. June 10, 2002  (#108)

Greetings from Russell's Remnant:                                                                                  www.oocities.org/dkone_us

            Dr. Russell Whitesell told his disciples to always be on the lookout for open-minded scientists.  The same needs to be said about those involved with astrology and astronomy.  Last month’s newsletter dealt with some remarkable astronomers from ages ago.  This month we again are recommending that open-minded astrologers test Magi Society’s approach to astrology.  (Astrology Really Works by The Magi Society was their first book).  The following is a list of planetary meanings that challenge old astrology’s meanings.  Test the following symbolisms in your astrological work and see if some new insights occur.

Dr. Russell Whitesell cautioned that your soul can only point things out to you through abstract mind; therefore learning an art form needs to be developed so as to accommodate your soul in its attempt to guide you.  Astrology with its many symbols was one of the art forms Russell recommended and was the only divination method he suggested.
