WHy astrology?
The moon cycles
a logical case for considering planetary influence
Modern science has proven that the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth is directly effecting the oceanic tides. If that gravity exchange is effecting the ocean, it is most certainly effecting us as well being that human beings are comprised of up to 60% water. The female menstrual cycle is also governed by our Moon operating on a 28 day cycle just as the lunar body does in her orbit. Modern humanity has a tendency to only believe what we can see. In our culture, if it can be proven and measured by science it is easier to conceive for this culture. Yet now more than ever many of us are hearing the call to reintroduce stronger connections to our planet, its cycles and beyond as this ancient connection has been buried away for too long.
Astrology is the oldest art & science
dated as far back as babylonian era
For ages before the modern science and technology our ancestors looked to the sky patterns for all kinds of answers to the human experience. If you believe that we are all connected, humans, animals, plant the earth, then can you go beyond our planet into our very own solar system and know that we must all be connected to that too? So we cannot easily measure what, if any effects the other planets in our solar system are having on Earth at any given point in their various elipses. But does it not at least deserve us to consider they may? The meaning given to the planetary energies and bodies in our solar system are a mixture of archetypal depictions that have remained a part of the narrative of human existence for all of time. Archetypes such as a nurturing mother, a disciplined structured plan, the lover, the warrior, a great communicator, etc. No matter your creed color or language, we are all having a human experience and can relate to a common story of existence. These archetypes stand as symbolic guideposts to our unique path.
astrology is a psychological tool for self discovery
Not a future telling mystical religion.
An astrological birth chart is a snap shot of where all the planets in our solar system were within their elipse cycle at the exact time of your birth. This is calculated by an app that includes the latitude and longitude of where you were born against their positions at that time. The birth chart is a 2 dimensional drawing of this snapshot and serves as a unique imprint on you-like a fingerprint! In true astrology, the planets incline they do not compel. The positions of the planetary energies the moment you were born serve as a group of potentialities for the person you may become. My favorite description is to say that everyone is born with their own unique super-powers bestowed upon them based on where the planets were at the time of birth. You can use the super powers to your benefit, but only with the awareness of what those super powers are. If you do not have awareness of the powerful energies you posess, the energies will use you. Astrology readings can help give a sense of awareness and control into areas of life we may feel victimized or powerless.
