Birth - Spiritual Meanings

Spiritual Meanings

  • Astrology is based upon the belief that an individual's life is influenced by the geocentric positions of the sun, moon, and planets in the sky or below the horizon at the moment of birth; a natal chart is calculated using the exact time, date, and place of birth to try to interpret these cyclical influences on a person's life.
  • Born again, a term used primarily in Protestant Christianity, is associated with salvation, conversion, and spiritual rebirth.
  • Rebirth is a belief that a person is born again after their death based on the karma of their previous births.
  • Virgin birth of Jesus is the Christian doctrine that asserts that Jesus Christ was born to a virgin, and thus that his conception was carried out without an earthly father.

Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or meanings:

    “We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The first green night of their dreaming, asleep beneath the Tree,/God said, “Let meanings move,” and there was poetry.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
