| WHY ASTROLOGY? To understand how the science of astrology deeply affects our lives, one must be open to see that it extends beyond the daily or monthly horoscope in a newspaper or a magazine. Astrology is a science that depicts the patterns of our behavior and evolution, according to the alignment of the planets on the day we were born. These planets govern our astrological signs and determines our psychological make-up. The vibration and energy of the planets create a resistance or an attraction through our astrological chart like a radio or telecommunication wave. Astrological analysis is derived from the measurement and relationships of the mathematical degrees of the planets in their orbits at the time of an individual or entity's birth. The birth chart interprets what sign the planets are placed in and how every area of our life is affected. They are our personal roadmaps, or blue print for the future. This gives us the choice to change our natures and the cycles we can expect. A BIT OF HISTORY… The first formalized teachings of astrological and numerical studies came from the Chaldean society of ancient Babylon and Mesopotamia dating between 2800-1700 B.C. The Chaldeans saw achievements in various scientific fields such as algebra, geometry, and astronomy. The first measurement of time was created by the Chaldeans. They concluded that the earth, moon, and the five planets known to man at that time and the sun are all part of one system. As time went on astrology and other metaphysical subjects became regarded as valuable guidance in analyzing patterns, personalities and the potential path a soul could take. The Phoenicians, Egyptians, Hebrews, Incas, Mayans, Chinese, Japanese, Greeks, Hindus, Celtics, and Christians all incorporated numerical systems in order to better understand their lives and the Universe. Each system has a unique and different insight to teach us. HOW DOES ASTROLOGY WORK? Western astrology measures the timing of the sun and the other planets in orbit, as they transit through each sign. Glyphs are used to represent the signs and planets. These symbols were designed by the ancient astronomers from the zodiac's image in the night sky. The twelve signs are divided into four elements: fire, earth, air and water.Elements indicate how we approach life. They are then further divided into tasks: cardinal leader, fixed organizer or mutable communicator. Tasks are the roles we best function in throughout our career. With one of the four elements in each of the three task categories, we begin to see the diversifications of personas in life.
