Philosophy Astrology, simply put, means the "whys" of life. Why are we here? Why are
we the way we are, and "what" we're supposed to do in this life? History of Astrology In ancient times, Astrology was a part of man's earliest attempts to
understand the Cosmos, and answer that especially thorny, question: "Why?".
Then, modern science began, and Astrology, slowly began to slide into
Astronomy, and Psychology. Today, Astronomy studies, "How" the Universe 'is'. How it works, what it's
made of, but 'why' is still a very mysterious question. Astrology & Religion For some, the "why" question is really more of a religious or spiritual
question, certainly not the domain of modern science, traditionally. Today,
however there's a powerful resurgence of interest in the special knowledge and perspectives of 'Astrology'. Present of Astrology There are predominantly 2 major fields of Astrology, today. There's
the Western and then, there's the Eastern Astrology. And, these two great
fields of Astrology are now, beginning to merge. Nature's Astrology Nature's Astrology, is something I thought of when I had finally gotten
through all my Eastern Astrology, books, and started contemplating the
difference between West & East. Nature's Astrology is the 'Astrology' that exists out there, in Nature. It exists somewhere, in-between, both the West & East. I realized, 'it'
exists beyond both East & West,...and in fact, is the 'best' of West & East.
Western Astrology
&
Eastern Astrology About 1500, yrs ago, both Western & Eastern Astrologys, described the same
sky. The Sun, Moon & Planets of our Solar system, moved around, within a
blanket, sky of constellations or Signs, that were always the same. Every
spring, the Sun would move into Aries, and every Summer, CAncer, and Leo, and
every Winter, Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces. It's amazing really, how similar both systems are! Both, believe that the
Sun, Moon & Planets represent a language of Nature, that quite precisely,
captures the special, unique and personal nature, characteristics, qualities &
tendencies of every human being born, upon this Earth. In additon, both systems believe that the Planets, moving through the 'sky'
represnts the karmas, or characteristics of our personalities, moving through
all the different areas of our lives. Find the Earth, in that picture/drawing, in the middle, draw 12 slices of a
pie, around the Earth, and those '12 slices' represent all the different areas
of the Life. Traditionally, called "Houses", these sections of the sky,
literally represent all the various ways and areas in which we live. For
example the lst slice represents the body, the actual birth, how difficult,
how smooth; the 4th represents one's propensity or karma, or characteristics
of happy or sad, home life. The 7th slice reprsents one's initial birth
tendencies for happy or sad married life. The 10th slice represents every
individual person's tendency to be attracted to this or that kind of career. (Click on the symbols on the drawing for more details about how Astrology
works) Both systems also believe our Astrology chart, has the ability to show us,
exactly, what a person's strengths & weaknesses, will be upon coming to this
Earth. Take the exact moment and place of anyone's birth. Take a 'snapshot' of
the exact position of the Sun, Moon, & Planets at that moment,..(see lst page
drawing. That's a snapshot of the Solar system!),...and that 'picture' is a
literal picture, blueprint, or 'chart' of any person's life. Genetics & Astrology
