Lower And Higher Octave Planets

There are three sets of octaval planets within the arena of astrology:
1. Mercury/Uranus,
2. Venus/Neptune,
3. Mars/Pluto.
Each inner, personal planet (Mercury, Venus and Mars) is a lower, subjectional vibration and resonance of its
correlating higher, collective cousin. This would of course imply a transmission association by and between the
higher and lower octaval planet much in the same way where in Music Theory the pianist knows that a High-C
Note is a higher tonal vibration and resonance of every single c-note lower in octave within the Scale.

Attend, please
Mercury is the lower vibrational octave and resonance of Uranus because it is
exalted in Aquarius, the sign of Uranus natural rulership.
It is also the lower vibration of Uranus by virtue of the fact that Uranus rules and
governs the Collective and Universal (infinite) Mind where Mercury rules and governs
the subjective, individual (finite) mind.
Secondly, Venus is Neptunes lower vibrational octave and resonance because it
is exalted in Pisces the sign of Neptunes natural rulership. It is also Neptunes
lower vibration due to the fact that Neptune governs the most elevated form of
spiritual and universal love where Venus governs love that is more
personal and subjective in nature. Moreover, Neptune also governs
values that are spiritual, mystical and universal in nature where its
lower vibrations values are more personal, subjective and sensual in
character.
Lastly, Mars is Plutos lower vibrational octave and resonance
because it is the ancient ruler, and modern day co-ruler of Scorpio the
sign of Plutos natural rulership. Mars also rules and governs the lower
nature of the scorpion in the sign of Scorpio. This principle is
graphically depicted in Scorpios symbol of the Phoenix rising up
from ashes of destruction and desolation. Since Pluto specifically
governs the Collective principle and process of evolutionary
transformation and metamorphosis by vehicle of death and rebirth,
(reincarnation) Mars governs the temporal process of subjective
transition by vehicle of actions taken based upon personal desire.
Pluto then is quite literally the Phoenix that is rising up and above
from the ashes of Mars destruction and desolation. (Old Buddhist
saying: the root cause of all human suffering is desire (attachment)
.).
Collectively, these three sets of planetary octavals and vibrations
constitute what is known as the threefold, Triadic Astrological Body (TAB). By threefold triadic body, it is
submitted that these three primary sets of astrological octavals govern the holistic attributes that constitute an
individuals soul:

1. The mental body (Mercury/Uranus),

2. The emotional body (Venus/Neptune), and
3. The desire body (Mars/Pluto
These specific attributes and characteristics of a soul have been referred to within much past metaphysical/occult
literature.
_________________
To determine the karmic (transmigration) age and evolutionary/spiritual stage of development of any one of these
three sets of octaval planets, the astrologer must first determine the phasal relationship by and between each
respective lower and higher vibrational octave.
Phasal relationship quite simply correlates to the natural quarterly phases of the moon:
First Quarter Phase (0 to 90 degrees)
Waxing Conjunction to the Waxing Square.
Birth, Inception; purely instinctive and autonomous without developed awareness.
Second Quarter Phase (90 to 180 degrees)
Waxing Square to Waxing Opposition (Full Moon Phase).
Utilization; the establishment of new uses for the lower, instinctual
Energies experienced during the First Quarter Phase with a more developed, conscious intent.
Third Quarter Phase (180 to 270 degrees)
Waning Opposition to Waning Square.
Adaptation; this is where the individual leaves their mark in the external world within a societal context. This
phase is primarily experienced in an emphasized social/external arena.
Fourth Quarter Phase (270 to 360 degrees)
Waning Square to Waning, Balsamic Conjunction.
Integration; this phase places the emphasis upon turning the individual toward the Infinite, Universal, and Spiritual
aspects of the planetary energies involved. The spiritual ramifications of everything the individual did with respect
to the first Three Quarters utilizing the planetary energies aforementioned will Bear fruit.
Phasal relationship is an evolutionary system in astrology consisting of the entire 360 degrees of the natural
zodiac circle. What determines which fixed, starting degree of this phasal cycle is determined by the position of
the higher octaval planet.

This calls for an illustration:

Lets say Uranus is at zero degrees of Leo and Mercury (the lower octave) is at zero degrees of Cancer. An
astrologer would first note the fixed position of Uranus, and then; scanning counter-clockwise from this fixed
position of Uranus in natural zodiacal sequence, would see that Mercury is 330 degrees away from Uranus. In
other words, Mercury is in a 330 degree phasal relationship to its higher vibration, in Fourth Quarter Phase.
Conversely, if Uranus were at zero degrees Leo and Mercury were at zero degrees of Libra, Mercury then would
be in a 60 degree phasal relationship to its higher vibration Uranus in First Quarter Phase.
In the first example, Mercury is considered to be old with respect to its evolutionary relationship with its higher

vibration Uranus. In the second example, it is considered to be new in this regard. To better understand the
distinction of this difference, the authors will define the evolutionary process that Mercury (the lower octaval) is
subject to:
As was pointed out earlier, Mercury is considered to be a lower planetary vibration of its higher vibrationary cousin
Uranus because both of these planets govern Mind. The distinction and difference there is that Mercury governs
the subjective, individual mind where Uranus governs Universal, and Infinite Mind. Mercury is considered to be
a lower vibration because it is of a more limited, finite and subjective version of Uranus, higher, more infinite
attributes.
Uranus then, being the higher octaval vibration does not need, nor does it require any evolution. Mercury needs to
evolve and metamorphosize itself progressively into becoming more like its higher vibrationit needs to
progressively vibrate at the higher, elevated rate and resonance as Uranus does. This principle of phasal
relationship between these two planets operates by transmission, and serves to harmonically re-align the lower
vibrational planets; attributes with that of its higher octaval. This implies of course, that there once was a former,
past state and condition whereby both lower and higher vibrations were in a perfect state of harmonic alignment.
They both originally resonated at the same vibration. Somehow, this perfect alignment was dissolved or
separated.
The lower planetary vibration then, is a symbolic astrological depiction of this original separation.
________________________________
As an aside, Evolution is defined as being the transformation from a former, inferior state of being into a more
elevated, superior state. This definition also implies that evolution is, quite literally, a force that exerts a
progressive pull or impulse upon that which is considered to be in an inferior state into becoming that which is
more elevated and superior. This is why the higher vibrational octave transmits or emits its evolutionary energies
or impulses harmonically by vehicle of phasal relationship upon the lower vibration, and not the other way around.
__________________________________
To return to the earlier case examples of Mercury/Uranus In the first example, Mercury is considered old in its
evolutionary phasal relationship to Uranus, and in the second example it is considered new in this respect. The
newer Mercury is in regard to its phasal relationship to its higher vibration, the more Mercury would be
manifesting itself predominately through its lower attributes (eg: Mercurial attributes). However, the older the
phasal relationship that Mercury is in with regard to its higher vibration Uranus, the more Mercury would begin to
take on and manifest through the higher, more elevated Uranian attributes. Ultimately, this phasal process which
begins at the Waxing Conjunction in First Quarter Phase concludes when Mercury journeys full circle through
the entire 360 degree evolutionary cycle to return to Uranus at the Waning, Balsamic Conjunction in Fourth
Quarter Phase. When this occurs, there is no more distinction that separates the vibrations of both of these
planets; Mercury has evolved and metamorphosize itself into becoming Uranus in effect. This is, of course, the
entire purpose behind the phasal evolutionary process.
This principle of phasal relationship also applies equally as well to the natures of Venus and Neptune as well as to
Mars and Pluto. Venus would ultimately metamorphosize itself vibrationally into Neptune, and Mars into Pluto.
They all, ultimately at journeys end would resonate vibrationally as one and the same, harmonically re-aligning.
_______________________________
Phasal relationship additionally correlates to the process and principle of the individual souls evolutionary
transmigration (reincarnation) with respect to its higher vibration: The Universal/Infinite Soul (eg: God; that which
originally created and maintains the individual soul). This is where the threefold, Triadic Astrological Body (TAB)
referred to earlier becomes a relevant factor and consideration.
To holistically determine the individual souls stage of evolutionary phasal Separation or Return (newness or
oldness) with respect to the Universal/Infinite Soul, the astrologer must first carefully note the exact phasal
distances of each of the lower and higher octaval planets in each of the three octaval sets; then, perform the
following calculations:

Mercury to Uranus: ___________degrees phasal distance

Venus to Neptune: ___________degrees phasal distance
Mars to Pluto: + ___________degrees phasal distance
= ___________Total Phasal Distances
It is recommended that the astrologer add all three phasal distance to arrive at a Total Phasal Distances figure,
which should then be divided by three. The result is a triadic; (composite) phasal distance figure that denotes at
which specific Quarterly Phase the individual souls evolutionary progression is in with respect to the
Universal/Infinite Soul.
Ultimately, the individual soul, like any other lower octaval vibration, eventually returns at 360 degrees in a
Waning, Balsamic Conjunction in Fourth Quarter Phase to the Universal Soul. It would then cease to be
considered as individual, as it would be merging into a perfect evolutionary re-alignment state with its higher
vibration, no longer a lower vibration. It would become the Universal/Infinite Soul, the source that had originally
sent it upon its long evolutionary journey.
The original separation from the source (higher vibration) of the individual soul has resulted in the evolutionary
necessity of reincarnation from one incarnation to the nextto progressively evolve us all back into our original,
first causal state of being (resonating at the same rate of vibration). It has been of course, a long and winding road
this evolution through the many mansions of our Fathers house, but one well worth the journey.
