The Theosophical Society Founded (November 17, 1875)

I was watching a YouTube video today that highlighted Helena Blavatsky’s warnings to our present day society. No doubt it was AI generated, but the spiritual quotes from her were done in her ‘voice’ so it was interesting to watch.

I chose 9 am for this founding chart, thinking that it could be significant. I should have known: the Ascendant matches my own, within 2°, the apex of a Yod from the Moon and Pluto.

The other links are close, too: my natal Moon is conjunct the event Jupiter; my natal Jupiter is 1° from the event Mars; my natal Sun is almost exactly conjunct the event Saturn; my natal Pluto is 3° from the event Uranus. Was I there? At some level, the answer is “yes”.

Theosophy

Highly influential syncretistic post-religious movement founded by H.P. Blavatsky and H.S. Olcott in 1875 largely on the basis of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. Devoted to a group of alleged Himalayan Masters with extravagant names whom nobody had ever actually seen or met. Helped to throw up prominent characters as diverse as Annie Besant, Rudolf Steiner, Alice Bailey, Mahatma Gandhi, Krishnamurti, and the British lawyer and writer on Buddhism Christmas Humphreys, but inexplicably failed to banish them to the Himalayas too. Also provided original basis of New Age philosophy.
