Searching the past at the time of the 2nd century after the birth of Christ there was a man named Plotinus who lived in Alexandria and Rome. He was Ammonius Sakkas student, his teacher having also tought Origenis, one of the most important philosophers who supported christianity. Plotinus was not a christian though. He introduced the ideas of Plato to the roman world with a new spirit, a new force and he also introduced many innovative concepts in religion and philosophy, one of them beeing the trinity of man and the trinity of the world. He believed a man consists of his body, his soul and his spirit and those three existances were equivalent to nature's trinity, the material world, the wolrd of souls and the world of platonic ideas. His followers were quite many, in fact more than the christians or any other group that struggled for superiority inside the borders of the roman empire and beyond... And although christianity seems to have won the fight, it only managed to do that due to some grate philosophers like Origenis, who managed to introduce into christianity the concepts of other beliefs, one of them beeing the trinity of all...

It is due to this man, Plotinus, that the whole world learns about the trinity of God... And although last century's theosophic schools attempted to convince the world that this idea was ancient, coming from far east and before that from other lost civilizations, the fact that we today make our prayers in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost is something we owe to Plotinus and his teacher Ammonius Sakkas... You see, as Christopher Colombus said, I know you all know how to make an egg stand on his bottom, but you only know it after I have shown you how... During the centuries that passed the birth of Christ astrologers tried to introduce the idea of trinity into the world of astrology... Until that time the only classification of signs was into the 4 substances, fire, water, earth and air...

It was the middleage's astrologers, the ones we call alchemists, who introduces the idea of quality of a sign... A fixed sign is the one who is equivalent to the idea of the Father, the one that simply is, doesn't move, doesn't do, is simply the one everyone else hangs around (remember Taurus stubborness, Leo's ego, Scorpio's passion, Aquarius' tolerance). A cardinal sign is the one who receives the message from the father, equivalent to the holy ghost, is responsible to keep the flame burning, initiating rituals to praise the father and gather the believers, it is the sign of the pioneer (Ram), the magician (Cancer), the artist (Libra) or the production manager (Capricorn)... Last but not least the variable signs, the ones who can breathe the changes of the physical world the ones that are the messengers of god's wishes and the deliverers of the worlds' pain to the wolrd of the devine... Those equivalent to the Son, the mediator, the savior, whether that would be Christ, or Dionysus, or Krishna the ones who loved the world the most and were loved by the world the most...

Praising the ideas of the past and undestanding how the mixed cultures and believes of the roman world gave birth to the christian empires of the east and the west leads us inevidably to astrology, since it is the only yet functionable system of the past, the only legacy that did not become an empty letter and still operates in the minds of the people... Hopefully there will be teachers to scatter this knowledge around the world again, this time far from Pisches fanatism and cloudness and into Aquarius tolerance and wisdom...
