I would say this mccoy; the beauty and splendor of such objects lead one to wonder but the sheer distance most probably insulates us from such influence. However In the 1930s, Karl Jansky, a physicist with Bell Telephone Laboratories, discovered that the static interference on transatlantic phone lines was coming from the Milky Way. We are finding more and more that smaller and more distant objects are influential. It is a study for future astrologers to determine just how far and to what mass and distance an object can affect events here on earth and in our personal lives. A planet like Pluto which you and I have lately been affected by has to do with forces of a social nature much larger then our personal lives. I have definately witnessed this as I have noticed business becoming more and more corporate and crushing small individual enterprises. When the planet was discovered the powers of the atom and the resulting atomic bomb was used. These forces were way beyond the Japanese to have control over.b

As you know Sri Yukteswar is telling us that some distant object is having an affect on the social unfoldment and spiritual understaning of inhabitants here on earth. His assertion is nothing less then shocking to the scientific community and to our understanding of self determination. It is likely though, that our choices lead us to be born into higher and lower yugas or ages.

In this particular solar system we find ourselves surrounded by the judge and jurors of Saturn, Pluto and other planets which release events in which we face the consequences of past actions. However we are also given the incentive of opening up to the possibilities which Jupiter reveals. Hindu astrology uses the influence of distant stars and western astrology uses the influence of distant objects and planets in our solar system. As far as I know no one has determined the influence of quasars. But no doubt their discovery has a significance beyond just their physical characteristics. We must remember though that they are so far away that when their light was emitted our planet did not exist. We are seeing what they looked like before our planet existed. This type of distance confounds the mind. Most of the far off objects are also leaving us. Spinning away at astronomical speed. From an Astrological view we interpret phenomena closer to our solar system and the larger and or closer it is the more it's 'weight' so to speak.
