The Aries Era and Abraham's Migration: Ancient Wisdom from Mesopotamia to Canaan
Moses' Genesis refers that Terah תרח left the land of Ur of the Chaldeans to settle in Harran with his son Abraham, with Sara and with the patrimony of ancient and antediluvian theurgical knowledge, hieroglyphically identified with the term Lot לט which in Hebrew means "secrecy," "magic" and "enchantment." The patrimony of ancient magical and theurgical knowledge, with the set of astrological correspondences both micro and macrocosmic, of seals and necessary preparatory and operative indications, were crystallized and hidden by Abraham himself in the sefer yetzirah and became patrimony of the qabbalah or Secret Tradition of Israel. Figure 14: The beginning of the zodiacal era of Aries, according to NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory JPL DE431 simulations, would have begun in 2624 BC. The planetary longitudes are: $☉$ $11°03'$ $♈$; $☽$ $20°05'$ $♈$; $☿$ $11°04'$ $♈$; $♀$ $29°04'$ $♊$; $♂$ $10°29'$ $♓$; $♃$ $14°49'$ $♐$; $♄$ $1°22'$ $♒$; $♅$ $4°21'$ $♑$; $♆$ $9°04'$ $♒$; $♇$ $23°58'$ $♊$; Regulus $26°11'$ $♌$; Antares $5°45'$ $♏$; Fomalhaut $29°13'$ $♑$; Aldebaran $5°42'$ $♈$. With Terah's exodus from the land of the Chaldeans and later with Abraham and Sara's departure from the land of his father, we have an evident discontinuity with Nimrod's law which was the cause of the collapse of the Tower of Babel. The initiate Abraham is, on one hand, the vessel of prodigious forces, on the other hand he is also expression of a new initiatic model in opposition to the degeneration that had corrupted the preceding institutions. In this sense Abraham is the perfect antagonist of Nimrod. Regarding this, the Islamic tradition and the extra-biblical Hebrew tradition are coherent in transmitting to us some significant details of Abraham's birth and youth. Already before Abraham's birth, Nimrod would have seen a star obscure the Sun and Moon, or engulf the four stars of the four corners of heaven, or had a dream in which a Man held the Sun in his right hand and the
