ABOUT ASTROLOGY

What is Astrology? Like life itself, astrology is an infinitely complex subject. Astrology is many things. Naturally, astrology is a master vehicle for intuitive perception and psychic insight.

Look up to the heavens and imagine the stars and planets are sparkling jewels dancing across the night sky. Your potential is like those jewels with a dazzling array of facets. To put it another way, our astrologer can symbolically demonstrate that your human potential is virtually unlimited.

Astrology is not considered to be a science, but is more appropriately an art, and is separate from astronomy, the scientific study of outer space. The calculations performed in astrology involve arithmetic and simple geometry and serve to locate the apparent location of heavenly bodies on desired dates and times based on tables constructed by astronomers. There have been astrologers who claim to try to put astrology on a sound scientific basis, but for most it is an art that merges calculations with their own intuitive perceptions. For most astrologers the purported relationship between the celestial bodies and events on earth need not be causal, nor even scientific.

The study of Western astrology and the belief in it, as part of astronomy, is found in a developed form among the ancient Babylonians; and directly or indirectly through the Babylonians, it spread to other nations. It came to Greece about the middle of the 4th century BC, and reached Rome before the opening of the Christian era.

From ancient until mediaeval times astrology was thought to be the study of the actual universe, which incorporated divinatory principles and ideas drawn from classical mythology. Nowadays it is mainly a method of Divination, though it is also a convenient framework in which to classify a host of other magical practices, and may therefore be usefully studied in order to shed light on a wide number of features of the WMT.

An ancient system of divination: The art of interpreting the meanings of relationships. Some branches of astrology are : electional, esoteric, horary, medical, meteorological, and mundane.

Going out on an unusual note, astrology can help you come to terms with your spiritual life. In this age of godlessness and crumbling socio/political paradigms, astrology can provide a framework upon which to hang your life. In a world of seemingly overwhelming information, astrology provides a systematic yet lyrical view of your sometimes chaotic life. Astrological pursuits contribute to your own inner, intellectual arsenal, ever providing a "fresh" lever at the fulcrum of your life.
