Introduction about Astrology...
Astrology sees mankind as being not only influenced by hereditary factors and the environment, but also by the state of our solar system at the moment of birth. The planets are regarded as basic life-forces, the tools we live by as well as the basis of our very substance. These planetary forces take on different forms, depending on their zodiacal position and on the way they relate to one another.
Some people will make fun of you if you say that the art of Astrology and Horoscopes can change your life. But, those people will never change. A weather report fails despondently many times. But, Astrologers have predicted the placement of celestial planets without the facilitate of current telescopes thousands of years ago.How was this possible? Ask yourself and your non believing friends this question. I’m sure that you will not find an answer. The thing is straightforward. Sages who lived thousands of years ago in India wrote many scripts through divine interventions. These scripts were lost over the years but still, some of them in are there for our references. It is really a hurting fact that most of us are not making use of it.
It is possible to use this knowledge to further selfish interests as well as spiritual awareness. Consider our botanist for a moment. Her tree has many uses—she can build furniture with it, burn it for light and warmth, sit beneath it for shade and comfort, eat fruit from it, or simply embrace it, forming a connection by which she can access the divine. Astrology is a very deep subject, but most people consider it a kind of superstitious guide to material progress. If you use astrology only for guidance in material matters, you will be doing its teachings an injustice. Astrology is too vast, both mathematically and philosophically, to be rightly grasped except by people of profound understanding. In ancient times, astrology was seen primarily as a guide to spiritual development. To use astrology for material purposes was considered a lower application of what is essentially a divine science.
The idea is commonly misunderstood, as astrology has a reputation for being, at best, a titillating parlor game, in which the “fortune teller” predicts events in the natives future. This can make the idea of a chart reading seem daunting. Occasionally people say to me, “I’d rather not know,” because they fear I will tell them something bad will happen.
“But the idea prevalent in modern psychological and spiritual astrology is that the stars impel, they do not compel.” We can use astrology to read energies, tendencies or influences present in a person’s life, but we cannot say how that person will use them. I can tell you that a storm is coming, but what you’ll do with that information—whether you’ll plant a garden, buy an umbrella, or run outdoors with a lightning rod—is your decision.
