Years ago, in a song that was not as well known as many of his others, Barry Manilow sang:

Just One Voice,  
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Singing so they hear what’s on your mind,
And when you look around you’ll find
There’s more than
One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
Joining with your One Voice….

As the School of Evolutionary Astrology is launched, along with its blog, by a group of certified Evolutionary Astrologers, I thought it was fitting to acknowledge and celebrate that “one voice” that began the “song” of evolutionary astrology (EA) back in the 1970s: Jeffrey Wolf Green. Long before others who are practicing evolutionary astrology today were doing so, Jeffrey had realized the EA paradigm and was using its principles to counsel clients. He WAS that “one voice” singing, in the world of astrology, followed now by those here, as well as many others.

I would like to start with an observation; a chart of Jesus of Nazareth which is accepted as authentic by our teacher, Jeffrey Wolf Green (source: Donald Jacobs, the chart itself is found in Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul, volume 1, page 182) has an interesting yet rather hidden correlation to the sign of Capricorn. A correlation far deeper than the mostly believed birthday of December 25 would bring him to this archetype.

When I was very young, I thought this was his birthday, and it seemed to make sense to me: being a  “scapegoat” going through the a horrific process of being socially judged, shamed and “punished” for who he is, and him taking the burden with such a soul-felt love for humanity as a whole, including those who done this to him.

Today it is obvious to me that the symbolism with the yearly renewal cycle actually comes from the old forgotten mother culture, i.e. symbolically sacrificing/recycling the beloved son/lover of the Goddess for the new life to spring out of the old, is what is hidden in the Capricorn symbolism. It is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. The days from December 22 through 24 are the shortest; the lengths of the day appear to come to a halt for three days. Then on the 25th the Sun appears to be set free and continues its yearly journey, as the days slowly become longer again each day. But I had no idea of this then. To me it was news that Christmas is not just for Christmas presents, but that there was a man called Christ whom I was told was born on the 25th of December.
