Astra Ferro

Description

Uplifting and intriguing, this spiritual guide examines the journey of the Soul as it incarnates and travels through the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
There is so much knowledge of the deeper wisdom out there waiting for us to explore and discover. Don’t be afraid to allow your mind and heart to be open to newer ways of thinking.
This guide considers the astrological journey of the Soul symbolized by the story of the labours of Hercules. Both mythological and symbolical in nature, this story reveals the path of the Soul; it is the story of Humanity. This is our story, our path, our experiences, our lessons, our challenges and trials, and our victories. We will be victorious, no matter how long or how many lifetimes we need to garner experience. This story represents the experiences on the path of the Soul as it travels through the signs of the Zodiac. Written from author Astra Ferro’s inner guidance, insights, and studies of esotericism over many years, it aims to help fellow travellers on the path of the Soul to see beyond the written words and discover how each experience through the signs of the Zodiac can bring more understanding about themselves and their Souls’ purposes.
Uplifting and intriguing, this spiritual guide examines the journey of the Soul as it incarnates and travels through the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

Dedication
I dedicate this book to my family, my parents Julia and Aurelio, my brother Charles, and my grandmother Leoca dia (lovingly known as Mamaja), who were the rock of my childhood and who are now in the world of L ight.
It was their love, their influence which supported and sustai ned me through my childhood. Although they died young, they h ave continued to be Spiritual supports in my work throughout the y ears.
Acknowledgement
Throughout my Soul journey I have drawn deeply from the spiritual teachings and philosophies that have enriched my life and given me a deeper understanding of the spiritual path. Over the last forty years, I have attended and participated in many talks and workshops on the Ageless Wisdom and, over thirty-five years, have facilitated many of these myself. All of these have contributed to my own sense of appreciation and understanding that there is so much more to life than the outer form.
My hope is that reading this book will give the reader a taste for the world beyond the visible and inspire his or her own journey. Against the backdrop of the labours of Hercules, it is my hope that we can see our own story and soul lessons writ large. As we begin to search, we soon come to realise that we are more than just physical bodies with minds and he arts.
There is so much knowledge of the deeper wisdom out there waiting for us to explore and discover. Be not afraid to allow your mind and heart to be open to newer ways of thin king.

Bibliography
Glossary of Terms Used Throughout this Book
Absolute B eing
Also referred to as the Creator. Some may call this Being God as it is exemplified by orthodoxy. However, when I refer to the Absolute Being in this book, I mean the Absolute Being—above creation and beyond orthodoxy terminology. This can also be described as ‘the breath’, ‘the force’, or ‘the energy’ that sustains all life.
Ages
Our Soul experiences take us through the twelve signs of the Zodiac and in the greater cycle (approx.25,000 years), each sign is described as an age. For instance, currently on earth we are leaving the Piscean Age and entering the Aquarian Age. Both ages are very much influencing events around the globe. An age is approximately 2,170 years. There is no precise cut-off point between one age and another, as they overlap.
Aka shic
These are known as accurate and true records which are imprinted in the ether as our Souls go through earthly life experiences. Each time our Souls learn a lesson, the lesson is automatically imprinted in the Akashic records. This can never be incorrect—as our Souls learn, so it is written. It is also known as life-time review.
Ancestral Group Soul
For many years, I have worked with the Ancestral Group Soul to help and support people who come to me for counselling and guidance. Through my own inner guidance and intuition, I was made aware of this group of souls in spirit many years ago and slowly, over the years, have come to know them and trust them. These are companions of old, whose mission is to help us understand our paths, and give us insight into past lives and why certain issues and problems keep coming up again and again. They seek nothing, but are simply happy to assist when we ask. Being part of an ancestral group soul takes us beyond our immediate family members.
A tmic
This is the highest level after the Buddhic and Christ consciousness. Only those who have attained the very high degrees of initiation are aware of this level.
Eth eric
The next level after the physical. We all have an etheric body, which is a replica of the physical but without all the restraints, emotions, and thoughts associated with the human body.
K arma
Karma is simply an opportunity to learn lessons which, for varying reasons, we have not learned previously. In every life, we accumulate karma as a result of our thoughts, deeds, and actions. Therefore, it follows that good thoughts, deeds, and actions will accrue good karma. In other words, look at it like amassing credits for the soul. Equally, unkind, destructive thoughts, deeds, and actions will accrue the opposite—debts. As we sow, so shall we reap.
Monad/Mon adic
Referring to the highest level: God or Atmic.
Logoi/L ogos
This is another name for the Gods (aspects of the Divine) who are responsible for different universal systems. There is a Planetary Logos, who is a centre or Chakra in the body of the Solar Logos, who in turn is a centre or Chakra in the body of the Cosmic Logos.
Root-r aces
Root-races are different evolutionary stages of humanity as a whole. Each root-race succeeds another, although there is a period of overlapping between the old forms dying out and the new forms beginning to be more dominant. The end of a root-race and the beginning of a new one is marked by important geological changes.
There are seven root-races thus far known to humanity . These are
The Polarian or Adamic
The Hyperborean
The Lemurian
The Atlantean
The Aryan (our current root-race)
Two others as yet unnamed to follow
There are seven sub-races within each root-race and each sub-race has seven branch races. We are presently in the fifth, and moving on to the sixth, sub-race of the fifth root-race.
Solar A ngel
Solar Angels could also be described as our higher selves, our souls, or our inner selves. Some would also describe these as o
