Astrology is an ancient science studied and practised by scientists of the Western Civilisations until only very recently. The concept behind it, is that The Cosmos/Nature is alive and Whole, and that it’s parts can affect each other. These Forces were looked upon in ancient times as ‘Gods’ manipulating human lives. Today, physics says that we are part of a Whole that was once One at the Big Bang, and that although now it is in separate material forms, these forms on a subatomic level can affect each other in subtle ways.
Western Astrology divides up the starry sky in 12 portions which are known as Zodiac signs. Our Solar system has planets (the number discovered is growing) and where they are in the Zodiac signs affect us. It is as though a play was being performed on a stage. The Zodiac Signs are the play, the planets are the actors, the 12 houses (areas of influence as given in a chart) are the scenery and the transits ( one planet passing another at an angle) is the action.

Our birth chart needs date, time and place of birth to be accurate. It tells the story of You. It describes your character, karma and probable destiny. Probable - because it is HOW we use what we were born with that matters. Looking at your birth chart helps to make conscious for you what choices you have with what you were born with. It is not just where the Sun was when you were born that matters (your Sun Sign) but ALL the planets. Your Ascendant (shown by the time of birth) is equally important as is where the Moon was.
Charts calculated at specific points in your life can help you with decisions at those times to get the best out of your life. It describes the ‘weather’ at any given point and you can choose what to do about that weather forecast. |
