Esoteric astrology is a branch of astrology that focuses on the spiritual and inner dimensions of the zodiac, planets, and other astrological phenomena. It seeks to uncover the deeper, often hidden meanings behind astrological symbols, aiming to provide insights into an individual's spiritual path, karmic lessons, and soul evolution. Esoteric astrology is often associated with esoteric traditions such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy, and it draws from various spiritual and philosophical teachings. The term "esoteric" comes from the Greek word esōterikos, meaning "inner" or "belonging to the inner circle." In Hebrew, esoteric astrology can be translated as אסטרולוגיה אסוטרית (Astrologia Esoterit). In French, it is known as astrologie ésotérique, and in German, it is referred to as esoterische Astrologie. Key figures in the development of esoteric astrology include Alice A. Bailey, who integrated astrological concepts with esoteric teachings to create a system that emphasizes the spiritual growth and development of the individual. Esoteric astrology often incorporates concepts such as the seven rays, the spiritual hierarchy, and the evolution of consciousness, providing a framework for understanding the soul's journey through various incarnations.
