Eclipses and "Occult" significance.

Any astronomical event has both local and world-wide effects.
The planets, zodiac, and movements of the Earth, Moon and Sun
together, in combination or apart and separately are all similar
to the workings of a very complex but finely adjusts clock.

According to HPB ( SD ) they reflect those times and cycles which
bring the return of Karmic effects.  Those Karmic causes may have
been generated aeons ago.  Some are known by us, most are not.
Sages know of them and looking in the "Astral Light" see there
the causes and effects of those cycles.

We guess.  Our "astrology" is very speculative.  We refer to
ancient texts, grimoires, kabalistic and Rosicrucian codexes,
etc... but the key to accurate understanding remains to be
proven.

Take Nostradamus' dark sayings -- usually they are verified after
the events, and the symbols and emblems that he used become clear
retrospectively.

As to the future?  It is was said by a wise theosophical writer
that "the clear minded and the brave" will be able to meet any
karmic effects as they ought to be met:  with equanimity and the
certainty that Karma can adjust all effects to their causes so
that all those involved may profit from them.  Have we developed
such an all-inclusive vision yet ?

Suppose that we could see or be told the future ?  Do you think
that any one of us might not then take advantage of such
knowledge to try to twist events to suit himself personally?
And, thus, interfering with the karmic event, vitiate it ?  Only
those who are pure in spirit and in motive can deal with
pre-cognition by letting events take care of themselves as Karma
dictates.

Is this fatalism?  No.  Since each free-will individual makes
decisions based on his self-determination, knowledge and desires.
Are those desires pure ?  There is the real question.  Are we
still trying to secure some personal advantage ?  If so, why ?
only we can answer that to ourselves.  And what about others ?
Are they to be abandoned to their sad fate ?  No warning ?  No
attempt to secure for them and advantage that we would use for
ourselves ?

These are some thoughts that arise considering the request --
certainly my own ideas and queries to see if there is any truth
to them.
