Franz Bardon Chart Highlights:
==============================
(Franz Bardon was born on December 1, 1909, in Katherein, near Opava in the present-day Czech Republic. )

Osiris Sun and Mercury conjunction in Sag, exactly opposed by the True Node.

Uranus exactly opp Neptune-SIVA conj in Cancer and T-Squared by asteroid KARMA on one side and Saturn on the other. A Mystic Square of epic proportions.

Pluto in 26 Gemini exactly opposed to a KAALI and REIKI conjunction in 26 Sag. KAALI and REIKI are quite close to the galactic centre.

AURA and PALLAS are conjunct in 15 Cap very close to Uranus in 18 Cap.

SPIRIT and SPHINX are perfectly trined.

WISDOM and ATLANTIS are trined with ATLANTIS conjunct Jupiter.

ANUBIS, MERLIN and ISIS precisely conjunct in 16 degrees Sag. Ideal placement for a super Magus.

Such a unique chart overall.

A summary of Bardons's methods by a serious practitioner. Knowflakes, pls note the astrological hints.

"
In terms of methods and exercises for self-mastery, I can summarize my 25 years of experience with the Franz Bardon system in nine paragraphs. To me, this is what Bardon has a student practice in his three books:

1. You make your mind completely empty of thoughts so it is reflective like a mirror, receptive like the ocean, empty like a void, open like the sky, intense like air the moment before lightning strikes, serene like moonlight, fragile and responsive to suggestion like a dream, and solid and enduring like a mountain.

2. Next, with this empty mind, you focus your attention on something--a problem, your life path, an elemental being, a spirit, or a project you wish to accomplish. You add to this a little technique. Techniques are endless in variety. You can visualize a picture, a sigil, an image or symbol of God/Goddess; you can meditate on a prayer or a chant; you can use incense, music, or a tone; you can do a pathworking, mental wandering, construct a magical circle or perform a ritual, gaze upon a crystal ball, speak a word of power, etc. etc. Technique, methods, and procedures are employed to receive and amplify impressions.

3. And finally, through direct experience and careful study and analysis, you interpret your impressions. You translate them into words and call it telepathy, into visual images and call it clairvoyance, into sensations and feelings and call it clairsentience, into all three while connecting to a spirit and call it an evocation, into new information and call it knowledge, into a spiritual realization and call it wisdom, into light and freedom and call it enlightenment, etc. Impressions received from outside yourself can also over time become internalized so you embody their qualities and energy.

4. This same procedure can also be expressed in a more active manner typical of magick. All methods and techniques for changing oneself or the world boil down to a simple formula: you concentrate on what is desired as if it is real right now in this moment. You add an appropriate kind of energy to your picture, feeling, thought, etc. so it has some power independent of your mind and thoughts and can move with enthusiasm toward its objective on any or all planes. And you also take into consideration and comprehend every force, situation, resistance, and obstacle which blocks your vision from becoming reality. This last element insures that your course of action is forged from wisdom and results in harmony--that you can proceed without inference or resistance from the energies or environments your desire encounters on the four planes.

5. For example, in chapter three of Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics, you practice imagining the elements of fire, water, air, or earth around yourself as if you are immersed within a boundless sphere of a single element. Take the earth element. What is it to imagine you have within and around yourself a vast expanse of the earth element? This is the same as learning to think, feel, and perceive as a gnome.

6. Your mind attunes to that one element learning to amplify, condense, and transform it. After this training, it is not so difficult then to form connections and interact in a creative manner with gnomes. If you spent time concentrating on minerals, precious stones, trees, mountains, and so forth you would be undergoing the training of a gnome magician. And so it is with fire, water, and air.

7. You can also use colors instead of the elements. If you imagine yourself within a boundless expanse of emerald green light, then you are learning to think, feel, and perceive as a spirit of Libra or Taurus in the earthzone or a spirit from the sphere of Venus. The colors, then, can be used for probing the qualities, powers, and consciousness of the beings within the spheres regardless of whether you make connections to them or not.

8. In the end, when you can concentrate effectively, your thought is like electricity and magnetism. Everything else is attracted to and becomes aligned with it. The four planes cooperate with it. It is like akasha--obstacles dissolve in its presence. It is like a mating of Saturn and Uranus--something completely new and without precedent is introduced into the world and yet it feels so natural it seems like it was meant to be all along.

9. When I consider the entire spectrum of methods in Bardon's three books with over five hundred different spirits and 27 cosmic letters, this summary is what I come back to in order to understand what I am doing. Self-transformation, self-mastery, self-empowerment, and integration--aligning oneself with the forces, the laws, and the harmony of the universe--are at the heart of the process from beginning to end.

I was waiting for this post to appear.

You read Bardons chart very well. But before you go any further with
your investigation, I must tell you that Bardon was what is now termed
a "walk-in". At the age of 16, a high adept moved into the body of
young Franz Bardon. So, this chart does not actually fit Bardons
character or his life events. It is the chart of the soul he displaced
- he was not born at that time or place and so was not subjected to
these astral effects. He inherited some of that souls heavier karma
and worked through it while he was alive (Bardon was overweight and a
heavy smoker - at least 60 a day! - and had health problems). The soul
that was moved on agreed to this exchange and benefitted enormously
from it.
It is an extraordinary chart, certainly, but it does not describe the
soul that came to be Franz Bardon. Pieces of it do, but only those
pieces the spirit that became Franz took on board, both to hold its
earthly vibration and to balance the scales of displacing another soul
from its body.

Thank you,

everloving,
Dave

Hi Zala, If only we had the exact timing of births of great spiritualists plus the day of the walk-in, we would have a whole new branch of spiritual astrology.
