About Astrology
"In the beginning stars began to condense and worlds were born. Dying stars spread a veil of stardust, rich in the elements that would someday beget us. We are the children of the stars." - StarShadower |
Astrology past and present
Astrology as we know it is probably as old as mans conception of time itself. In the beginning, these orbs of moving light the planets and stars, were believed to be gods, and could help in the quest for divine knowledge.Even today modern science is beginning to show a reluctant interest in astrology. Through the study of various natural rhythms, science seeks to understand the significance of terrestrial events and the dynamics of the universe in which we live, move and have our being.

The universal view of Astrology
 The ancient astrologers believed that the entire universe was really one great living being, which they called God. They believed that every part of this universe was connected with every other part, so that although we think we are isolated, we really are not and all things have an effect on everything else. And, that we are part of this one great living being, regardless of what we choose to call it.
Ancient astrologers believed also that this great being was growing and becoming more and more perfect, and that every living thing within the universe was also growing and becoming more perfect.
They believed there is an eternal spark of life within each person that does not die when the body dies. It continues to live, and returns in many different bodies, life after life, each time becoming wiser and more beautiful and more perfect.

The study of astrology and the individual
Bear in mind that astrology, like every other science, is progressive. The underlying principles (i.e. natural laws) are always the same, but the plane of action (i.e. time and space) is constantly changing.
Also, no sign of the Zodiac is better or worse than any other sign. It is as good to be a Libra as it is to be a Cancer, and Aquarians have just as many special qualities as Tarus or Aries. Every sign indicates special gifts and abilities which an individual can use to forge their lives.
Actually, individuals are more than one zodiac sign. They are a unique mixture of all the zodiac signs combined into unique patterns that are never duplicated. Just like fingerprints, no two individuals are alike. |
Astrology and the signs of the ZodiacAstrology and the zodiac are attempts to give some order and meaning to our lives and to help us to choose our future. The Signs of the Zodiac are said to be a key to understanding ourselves and the universe in which we have our being. |
| "Astrology is a key that opens the door to occult knowledge." It is a key that can unlock the mysteries of mans being; his why, whence, whither. The signs are there, written by the finger of the Infinite in the heavens above. This is the mantra of those who follow the way of the stars. |

Your place among the stars
Can astrology bring light to a dark world? If you believe it will then you are not alone. Many people have based their whole life on the study of the stars. For them this cosmic dance in which we find ourselves is a reflection of something far deeper. It is a way for them to better understand themselves and the universe in which they live. But, astrology is only one of the paths open to the true seeker.
Your place among the stars is only one aspect of your being. Astrology is just one of the facets of this gem we call human existence. There are many roads that lead to understanding who we are. You must discover the way that leads to your spiritual development by yourself. We are all unique and each of us will find our way to this goal of self enlightenment only on a deeply personal level.
