Introduction:
Astrology inherently concerns itself with spiritual or non-physical ideas. The whole concept of describing inner influences and characteristics of a conscious being is a more subjective area outside the study of ordinary facts and figures. Any attempt to understand the actual why or how of astrological influences leads one outside of standard physical science. At the very least, astrology deals with a rich and colourful language of archetypes and myths that one may consider more of an intuitive art than an ordinary science.
It is no surprise then that additional planets other than Mercury through Pluto have been hypothesized in our solar system. Many are not just additional physical planets, but are invisible or are on a higher etheric plane, not detectable through ordinary means outside of psychic investigation or their astrological influences. The number of such planets is large, frequently each one being suggested by a different clairvoyant, which can be confusing to the astrologer who wants to know how to use them or get a grasp of the big picture.
This article will describe a complete view of our solar system from a spiritual standpoint. A result of this will be that all the main invisible planets will be deduced and described. To begin, our solar system is vastly more extensive, organized, and beautiful than we think. Our limited view of looking at only the physical plane of existence leaves us with a star and a few separate planets orbiting it. Looking beyond, one not only sees the number of planets increase by an order of magnitude, but sees a great picture of how all planets are linked together, and are one coherent whole composing a vast living being called our solar system of which one can barely conceive.
This article is meant to give a picture of a model and inform only. No attempt to prove any of the things described here is given, or even can be given in the ordinary sense. These things aren't inherently unprovable however, and one who knows how and where to look should be able to experience proof for themselves.
First, we need to understand the various etheric levels or planes them self. In ordinary life, we spend our time on the physical plane. There are however seven planes total, our physical plane being the lowest or most dense. Hence any object on a higher plane will be invisible to us, and we can pass through it as if it wasn't there. Each plane in turn has seven sub planes or densities of matter within it.
Here is a brief description of each plane:
The Physical Plane: This is the lowest of the seven planes, and where we spend our physical lives. We are generally only aware of the three lower sub planes of physical matter, which are molecular solids, liquids, and gasses. The four higher densities, called the "etheric plane", are levels at various subatomic particles. A physical etheric object is generally not visible to ordinary senses. Fairies and nature spirits exist etherically.
The Astral Plane: The first higher non-physical plane, one frequently hears about this in paranormal accounts. In the out-of-body and near death experience one is conscious on this plane. Right after one dies and before they reincarnate they are on this plane, and the first Guardian Angels are found here as well. This is also called the emotional plane because the "matter" on this plane is what composes a feeling, desire, or emotion. Negative emotions and the realms of hell like "purgatory" exist on the lower sub planes, while positive on the upper. It is impossible for what we think of as "evil" to exist anywhere except from the mid astral on down, by definition. Astral (and higher) objects and bodies can not only go through physical matter in the same space without adversely affecting either side, but they can go through each other without much trouble, avoiding the collision aspect that happens with physical matter, although one can still interact much like on the physical.
The Mental Plane: This is called such because the "matter" on this plane composes thought. It's possible for one to mental project in the same way one astral projects, but on the whole being conscious on this higher plane is much more difficult, in that it requires an extremely high state of spiritual evolution. True altruistic thoughts free of desire or any sense of selfishness will rise to this level, as may a person after death from the astral. This consists of a lower level of concrete thought, and a higher level called the "Causal plane" of abstract thought. Most Angels and other spiritual beings are found here. Where this plane meets the next higher is found what we think of as our soul.
The Buddhic Plane: From here on up we leave behind the concept of an individualized personality and enter levels so high that our trying to conceive of them is like a cat trying to understand calculus. The buddhic plane is the plane of true spiritual insight and intuition (not ordinary psychic feeling, which is astral) and the plane of all encompassing love and unity. The akashic records which contain the history and sum total of the past of everything everywhere are ultimately on this level of unification.
The Atmic Plane: This is the plane of consciousness and life itself. On this level are found the great spiritual masters, as well as anybody who has achieved the ultimate "nirvana".
The Monadic Plane: Beyond any type of matter, dimension, or evolution as we can think of, this is the plane of will where monads, the ultimate divine spiritual spark in all living things, express themselves and evolve and create on the lower planes. We've left space, time, and self behind.
