Universal
Astrology Revealed
 There
are several themes central to "Universal Astrology", some are
philosophical and some are technical. First and foremost, is the
philosophical premise that in keeping with the Eastern view,
"Universal Astrology" acknowledges that we are all aspects of
God, the Great Universal Power. We are a divine reflection of this
power. Astrology itself shows the universe as God's revealed form. In
fact everything is God's revealed form and when studied leads to this
point or understanding. But Astrology itself is the specific science of
studying universal energies and how / why they create / affect beings on
Earth. This may sound like a Spiritual view – and it is to some extent
– but that does not preclude its scientific nature. When properly
understood Spirituality is simply religious science. Every religion has
a mystical / spiritual / scientific background.
Just like different religions and paths are all ways to explain the same God, the same universal source, different systems of astrology are merely ways to explain the same divine universal / astrological experience or condition. Typically, when I hear people speak about astrology they are actually speaking about the astrology system they practice. Just like a person who thinks their religion "IS" religion – many speak about astrology in similarly monolithic ways. Actually the living universe is much greater than the human systems we have invented to explain it. Many even discredit / limit astrology because of the assertion that it was "invented by human beings."
I would contend that "Astrology" (in its pure, "Universal" form) was not invented by human beings any more than God / The Universe was invented by human beings. The "Astrology Systems" of the world are the attempt of mankind to awaken and discover the divine universal energies both within himself and that create life - just as spirituality is a discovery of our divine nature. Religion did not invent "spirituality", rather spirituality exists whether there is a formal religion to explain it or not. "Astrology" existed long before mankind was here to explain it or perceive it, and it will continue long after we are gone. Astrology systems, like religions, are more cultural in nature. They are paths that refer to the source - not the source itself.
Stated simply, "Universal Astrology" proposes what amounts to a radical re-framing of how astrology is viewed and discussed. "Astrology"
is not the systems humans Yet instead of realizing the universe as pointing to the ultimate opening and flowering of human potential, astrology is too often looked at as something we must "overcome" - something that shows the problems in life. This disconnect from the universe itself mirrors our disconnect from the deeper holistic wisdom at the heart or our being. "Universal Astrology" proposes the return to a truthful understanding of our "universal nature" and understands astrology to be a useful and divine practice that facilitates that return. If you want to experience the sublime beauty of the Moon, you need only look at her and be bathed in her light. Yet too often we are looking at the fingers pointing to the Moon, wondering why we have not been moved by her beauty. Astrology systems are like fingers pointing to the Moon. They indicate where we need to look, and point the way to the goal. But they should not be confused with the true source of power – the Universe itself. This perspective is not an attempt to discredit the world's great astrological systems, not at all - is to enhance them and realign their purpose with the source itself. And of course, there are many great astrologers who are already thinking this way and focused on this universal perspective. I'm not attempting to be provocative or antagonistic. But in general, I do not hear astrology being talked about in this universal way, not by Eastern astrologers or Western astrologers. "Universal Astrology" glorifies the universe and all its energies as the great cosmic being that creates all life forms as a reflection of divine purpose and astrology as the Science of perceiving that purpose. This universal perspective shatters the divisiveness and sense of separation of mankind, not only from astrology, but from his universal/cosmic nature as well. Once we unify that division, all others fall into place. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
So far I have developed a five distinct qualities of "Universal Astrology". First I'll give a brief overview of each and then go into greater detail.
The notion of the Planets or other universal energies as Lording over us in some inimical way is immature. Saturn for instance is often seen as an oppressive force that restricts us, from the outside. In fact all of the energies of the planets come through us - all the time. Saturn for instance simply represents the tangible fears we have. A birth chart shows where those fears will hide. Saturn transits and cycles awakens him - compelling us to release the fear-driven strategies in our life that hold us back. A mindset determined to "Defeat the bad stuff and Get the good Stuff" often results from this externalized perspective. It is an immature stage of astrology understanding and life understanding - unworthy of our divine purpose and unworthy of Astrology. The universal surrogates, the Planets can be seen as great teachers, Eternal beings. These universal energies formed us - operate through us and compel us to grow into full awareness.

TESTIMONIALS:
Below are testimonials from students who have been learning
"Universal Astrology".
Most of these testimonials were written after only two classes.
I want to echo Lhynn’s sentiment expressed in tonight’s class -- “I am learning so much here, I have never learned anything of this depth in an Astrology class before in such a short amount of time.” I agree. For one thing this is much, much, more then just an Astrology class. It feels really sacred… like spiritual practice….. again, probably because of it’s ties to Yoga and Ayurveda. It certainly makes me want to recommit to deepening those personal practices within my life. I feel in the potential of understanding this "Universal Astrology", incredible personal transformational implications akin to alchemy- the truth of which I can not consciously fathom with my mind as it is now. Something in me senses that if I dive deeply into it this practice and marinate in it, at the very least I will be able to show up for life in a deeper, more authentic, more empowered way and, that this practice of Vedic “Universal” Astrology, will inspire some profound glimpses into the true nature of being- that interconnectedness of everything and everyone. What greater gift is there? A deep, heartfelt thank you for sharing your knowledge with such passion and compassion. Ana S |

Sam Geppi has a unique
voice in Astrology today where he's managed to adapt his knowledge and
his wisdom from Western and Vedic astrology, Yoga, and many other
sources combined. The result is that his approach is groundbreaking in
the sense that he doesn't divide people but bring them together. |

I have been studying Vedic
Astrology on my own with tons of books and also using the net which his
how I came across Sam. Everyday I would tune into his Daily Forecast
which then intrigued me to purchase his book "The Ascendant 108
Planets of Vedic Astrology". This book is THE most detailed book on
the accendants. I just started taking Sam's "Universal
Astrology" class and for me the way he ties all the details |

As a student in Sam
Geppi's Universal Astrology class I must say that I have learned a great
deal in a very short time to help me understand mine and others
charts..I did western astrology before taking this class and I never saw
the reasons why I was like or acted in certain manners, relationships
etc . His teaching has brought all this into my life in a few lessons.
Sam is a excellent teacher and I appreciate him giving his gifts thru
these sevices to others! |

I have been taking the
astrology class with Sam Geppi and have been amazed at the information
that I have never found in any of my vedic books and I have several. I
have been studying for approx 10 years on my own - not good enough!
Have to need to have a teacher and Sam is the one to have. |

I am a western astrologer
who has been interested in Vedic astrology for many years and was
pleased to hear that Sam was offering his "Universal
Astrology" classes online. I find Sam's unique way of
conveying the "anchoring principles" that he is presenting in
class to be both illuminating and exciting. What I thought that I
knew intellectually concerning some of the basic principles of astrology
have taken on a whole new meaning on many levels and that's just in the
first two weeks. Thank you, Sam. Please keep it coming! |

the issues raised about 
Hello, 
First, "Universal Astrology" legitimizes all
"systems" of astrology -- unifying them under a more
universal umbrella. In "Universal Astrology", anchoring
principles are more important than specific methods and systems.
Meaning, the Sun, Moon, Mars brings forth the same energy regardless of
the system being used. The same is true with astrology signs and
astrology houses. Once we understand the "Anchoring
Principles", we can understand astrology. Until we understand the
"Anchoring Principles", we will not. Once we understand the
"Anchoring Principles", we rely on "Anchoring
Techniques" to organize the information powerfully. Then, in
keeping with the other tenets of the Universal Astrology we acknowledge
"Anchoring Processes" that show the growth patterns.
"Anchoring Conditions" show universal phenomena such as
retrogression, combustion, waxing moon, waning moon, relationship of
planets/signs/houses to each other, et cetera. "Anchoring
Moments" assess the dynamic nature of planets in transit at any
given time.
