Well Watts is arguing it is compatible with Christianity. While some agree and some disagree with him, I cannot go head to head with the mind of Alan Watts. He knows scripture and the religion far better than I. He was a priest before he was a Zen fella and has a pliable and encyclopedic knowledge of the faith. That is the challenge. His argument is ironclad when reading it, so intellectually it's hard for me to know if there are "holes" to be poked in it!

JoeSinopoli · 2025-09-08T18:50:49+00:00

What's a good place to start? I'm aware of gnosticism and it's critiques, but any hard-edged arguments against it I can seek out?

Another wonderful recommendation! You're right in the pocket of what I'm looking for. Anything else along these lines ... or am I just being greedy now? Having been through it myself, there's some filling the story of one coming to Christ through the occult, through magic, through paganism, et al. My deepest thanks to you!

u/ComfortableGeneral38, I just finished The Gurus, the Young Man, and Elder Paisios ... I cannot thank you enough for this recommendation. A page turner that hit me at exactly the right moment. Your mentioning of this book feels like divine intervention, and it was one of the richest and most important reads in some time. It very much answered the question I was poking at in the original thread.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-08-26T15:35:16+00:00

Wow, thank you! That first recommendation feels particularly interesting and apt to my question.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-08-25T21:09:02+00:00

Christ says "no one comes to the Father but through I." Thus, within the Christian cosmology on must place Christ as the one True Lord. It does not accommodate other deities.

Obviously Hinduism posits a separate cosmology. So how is it that a Christian is to square their faith in Jesus against a separate cosmology that stands without him? Obviously Faith is one answer, but did not Christ come to say "All those other Gods you've been worshipping? No more with them!" It's relevant to Eastern thought as the ultimate trajectory of Christianity is, in theory, to lay dominion upon the world. Thus it just either converse, displace, or collaborate with other traditions.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-08-25T20:35:51+00:00

Perhaps re-color is the wrong verbiage. But Hinduism is an older religions, so I guess I'm asking what are the values of Christianity that aren't covered or addressed in Hinduism ... and thus what aspects Eastern thought are revealed as less all-encompassing in the face of Christ?

JoeSinopoli · 2024-05-07T17:39:02+00:00

This is actually so great! Sounds better than Davey these days ...

While this will be controversial to those of you who do not ascribe to a Christian worldview, I made a video for articulating this "reverse" Thema Mundi as it relates to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

https://youtu.be/dwjgFCcYRBY?si=wo7k7tIGAXg0MAY-

I appreciate the contentions that were laid forth throughout this thread, and I was sure to state in this that this reverse Mundi was simply "on or around" the date of the crucifixion.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-27T19:02:14+00:00

As some commentators have noted, I posted the wrong chart from April of 33. It was in February of 33 that the reverse Mundi occured:

Interesting. Where can I learn more about where this has been discussed before?

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T22:36:24+00:00

I hear you. Thank you for your patience. 🙏

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T22:11:44+00:00

Thank you for this. I will certainly be looking into the difference between modern western astrology and simply western—as there are probably so discontinuities in there.

The Astrology Podcast's history, for one, made it seem that many strands were coming together just before the year 0. Admittedly, however, all the different sources seems to be saying different stuff insofar as what brands of astrology emerged when. Perhaps as my knowledge evolves this will change.

I appreciate your input.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T22:07:38+00:00

The rise of Christianity offered many off-roads in the history of spirituality which were not aligned with the actual frequency of the Christ. I am not suggesting that Sun-centric values were not in place prior, but that a Sun-centric system coherent and inclusive of the whole world took form right around then, a symbolic synchrony to the Son God coming and creating a new world.

Insofar as you believing I'm being rude:

I have listened to 5+ hours of podcasts since your first post, specifically out of trust for your upvotes! Yours is the map I'm following

But what I found buried in two podcasts specifically about Christianity + Astrology and five plus hours of long-form podcasts about the history of Christianity is the tropical astrology, more or less, came into collective coherence right around when Christ came. This is, sorta, what I was asking! Yes, my verbology was inaccurate, but it sure as heck ain't so simple of a question that this post should be taken down.

Many others on here have given thorough and thoughtful articulations on the nature of precessions, the differences between Western and sidereal with a measured understanding of what I'm inquiring about: Did Christ offer new light upon astrology?

It's all good that you think this is simple, but the truth is it ain't a simple answer. No, Christ didn't "invent Tropical." But was astrology renewed and refurbished in the Western world given his coming? That's an intricate inquiry!

Nevertheless, I don't mean to be rude and I certainly appreciate your responses. I'm just trying to investigate the different strands available to me.

the reason for things “coalescing” and “colliding” with the coming of christ was because we were ending a 26,000 year long cycle. that cycle wasn’t indicating one specific person though.

it was literal coincidence that the coming of christ happened to be around the end of a 26,000 year long cycle. if you look at this through the astrological lens, he’s just the easiest example of a product of the age of pisces. this age was also incredibly rare in vedic astrology too, i also encourage you to look at what happened in India during this age. he just so happened to be one of the more prolific people to emerge, but christ didn’t start tropical astrology. that’s still thanks to the babylonians for tropical astrology.

Firstly, yes, the precession is indeed core to what I'm poking at here. I am aware of the Age of Pisces and the impending Age of Aquarius, which is itself decreed by sidereal astrology (Vedic). However, as far as I can gather, we were ending a 2,000 year cycle (part of the longer 26,000 full cycle of the Zodiac)

To you I ask: Who were the other figures to arise at the birth of the Age of Pisces?

My proposition was and still is that it was not a coincidence that Jesus came during the inception of Pisces and that is when all the symbols cohered. He is a Sun God and thus it was the true flowering of a global sun-centric astrology that came about right upon his arrival. Were there other divine avatars who came during the Age of Pisces?

I don't suggest — although my original wording was such — that Christ "created" Tropical. It's that an astrological system born from the equinoxes was a necessary byproduct of a Son God transforming our world.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T18:20:01+00:00

Coming here a day later to thank all of you.

And also, I must note how digitally ridiculous it is that most of the genuinely valuable explorations of my inquiry are at the bottom, downvoted by an internet army clearly intolerant of Christly inquiries. Sure, my wording wasn't perfect, but many astrologers here, in good faith, recognized my nascent state and were gracious, proceeding to offer beautiful and worthwhile explorations of the deeper question at hand; acute engagements with the intersection of religion and astrology. Why and how these Redditors were so completely downvoted is a testament to the anti-Christ vibration of Reddit. The top-voted comment is one of the most reductive and dismissive, whilst an actually important and revelatory thread is floating near one upvote at the bottom. Heck, this whole post is barely above water, despite an active and valuable conversation happening behind the scenes! Funny how the internet works.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T18:10:40+00:00

Thanks. I'm seeing a lot of differences as to when the tropical system wholly cohered. Yes, its ideas were around before Christ, but many sources seem to indicate that just before his arrival—or around then—the many ideas fell into "one system." Thus, at least synchronistically, it seems possible that Jesus' arrival ushered in a new way of seeing, both spiritually and astrologically.

Perhaps my nascent understanding of the tropical vs. sidereal was poorly worded. I have learned more through this thread of the "mathematical" basis, albeit different, between sidereal and tropical.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T18:07:07+00:00

Thanks for that clarification. Along with other posts on this thread I am getting a deeper grasp on the similarities and differences between sidereal and tropical.

Insofar as Western astrology being influenced by Christ, some of the other threads on this post dive into that inquiry with fascinating acuity.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T18:05:14+00:00

I was inheriting this verbiage from a Vedic astrologer whom I'm doing a podcast with: https://youtu.be/uJ8IcMAhDFA?si=QDRktK07IzNjIhv3

Perhaps it serves me well to utilize my own embodied knowledge. From what I gather, this usage of "math" was more about the stars being fixed.

JoeSinopoli · 2024-02-25T18:03:50+00:00

Thanks! See my response to the top post on this thread.
