Astrology exists on two different levels for humanity. Astrology is about energies and how these energies affect humanity on different levels.Astrology can be broken down in to Exoteric and Esoteric astrology.
Exoteric astrology concerns itself with the characteristics and qualities of the personality and of the form aspects, indicative of planetary control and not of solar control.
Esoteric astrology concerns itself primarily with the unfoldment of consciousness, with the impacts which awaken it to the peculiar gifts of any particular sign and ray endowment and with the reaction of the man and his consquent enrichment through his response to the influence of a sign, working through the esoteric planets from the angle humanitarian awareness, of discipleship and of initiation. This deals basically with his experiences from the angle of the three crosses, which involves first, mutation then directionand finally initiation. Increasingly, these three crosses will take a prminant place in astrological delieation.
 As far as humanity is concerned ,one of the four signs of each cross is of more importance than the others. Each sign of each of the three crosses is related to one of the four kingdoms of nature and the preponderence of the ray influence pours through the sign to the kingdom under consideration.
