In this first part of a 2-part lecture, Doctor Baker begins by exploring the critical component of Esoteric Astrology, the souls purpose. How does the ascendant or rising sign indicate the qualities of the soul? What qualities and direction does an esoteric astrologer need? How can you encourage the creative energy of the higher self? Why can ray analysis be a good prerequisite to chart analysis? He reviews the Scorpio Rising aspect. (54 min., Nov. 13, 1996)
