The Celestial Map is a new system of divination which is a synthesis of Tarot, Astrology and the Kaballah.
A map is a device for determining direction or achieving understanding.
The Celestial Map was designed as a tool for meditation, thinking, and evaluation.
The Celestial Map will tell you what is going on in any situation, and is very useful for identifying what challenge you are facing in any aspect of a project, or a relationship.
It is not intended to tell the future, it is best used to clarify and understand your present situation; and enable better decision making.
The Celestial Map is my own invention, the result of many years of study and meditation.
I would like to express my profound respect for the three traditions which form the basis of the Celestial Map: Astrology, Tarot, and the Sacred Kaballah. These three traditions of knowledge are twined together in historical tradition, while maintaining their separate integrity.
I have combined large pieces of all three into one coherent and usable system.
While it is possible to pick the Celestial Map up and use it without knowing anything about its history; your experience with The Celestial Map will be much deeper if you are familiar with any of the three root systems which were its parents.
I offer this work of my mind and heart to the Spirit which inspired the traditions of old as a small variation in application, in no way intended to alter or supplant the traditions as they continue to be taught.
It is also my hope that users of the Celestial Map will progress beyond the small introduction given here into the depth and richness of the three traditions which have formed its body and bones.
Two Parts, Three Layers and the Tree of Life
The Celestial Map consists of two parts, the markers, which represent the ever moving energies of life, both on a higher plane and in mundane expression, and the board, which represents all the different areas in which the moving energies may manifest.
The board is a representation of three layers of reality.
The first layer, looks like a fractal image and represents the ever moving background of primal chaos which is unseen but always present behind everything. It is all potential, creative and destructive, and represents all which we do not know.
The second layer is the Tree of Life. I have stretched it to accommodate the wheel at the center, but it remains complete and unchanged in its traditional symbolism.It appears at first glance that Tipareth has been included in the wheel at the center of the Celestial Map, In actuality the wheel at the center of the board is open, so that you see Tipareth at the center of the whole Celestial Map. I have done this to invoke the guidance of the Higher Will not only of myself in the use of the Celestial Map, but that of anyone who is using the Celestial Map to seek information.
The pathways between the Sephiroth are the same as the traditional in both Tarot and the Kaballah. I have only shifted their form to fit the board.
The wheel at the center of the Celestial Map is similar to the traditional Astrological wheel, save for the addition of the four divisions within the houses which represent the four stages of manifestation, the four worlds of the Kaballah, or the four elements. This division makes it more precise to determine the action of an energy when it is in one of the houses of the mundane life. If you progress into the study of Kaballah you will discover that the Tree of Life also has these four phases of being. I have borrowed the terms from this tradition to describe the four levels of the houses within the wheel. It is also appropriate to translate the original terms into common understanding as physical action (Assiyah), intellectual action or communication ( Yetzirah), emotional response or communication( Briyah) and will or inspiration (Atziluth).
The realm within is far more vast and mysterious than most people would ever believe. It is the realm of true magic, and profound mysticism.

This course will give a good grounding in the specifics of each of the three bases of traditional wisdom, Tarot, Astrology, and the Kaballah. From this knowledge the Scholar then becomes an accomplished reader of the Celestial Map on behalf of any other person seeking guidance through divination.
Many people ask where the information comes from when they get a reading. That is a very intelligent question. The structure of the Celestial Map was designed to ensure that there was never any doubt about the answer to that question.
Allow me to explain. The Qaballah Tree of Life diagram places the home of your Holy Guardian Angel, or Christ consciousness, in Tipareth.
The center of the Compass is Tipereth as represented by the star formed by two interlocking triangles. The triangle pointing up represents Man reaching toward Spirit. The downward pointing triangle represents the energy of the Higher Spirit reaching down to Man. They are shown interlocking to illustrate the perfect balance of the Higher Spirit with the consciousness of Man. Touching apex to apex, they create a sacred union between the individual and the Author of Creation.
When the Celestial Map was created, Tipareth was placed in the center of the wheel that represents all of the possibilities of your life. Each Celestial Map reading is a prayer to your own Guardian Angel that it be the source of the information you receive. Whether you use the Celestial Map for yourself or someone uses it in your behalf, it all begins from that intention. The first step for performing a reading of the Celestial Map , whether for yourself or another is to take a moment to internally request the guidance and protection of Spirit for the querent, and for the reader.
