First and foremost I believe astrology is a wonderful tool to truly...
KNOW THYSELF
The study of psychology is, we may say an attempt to discover that Law through which human character can be intelligently viewed, approximately understood. The true psychologic law can be no less than the fundamental law of human development, the fundamental principle of human life.
If we have a fundamental law of human development operating how come it is so neglected?
Today we find the world in turmoil and chaos maybe this has been created by humanity moving away from the natural laws of the universe. Surely history is studied partly for the purpose of affording us an arc of human experience large enough to serve as a basis of comparison so that the curve of past evolution may become the means of deducing not only the future course, but even, the entire orbit of human destiny.
Our children today are pushed into an education system that fails to support each of those children to learn fulfilling skills that will support them in the outside world of adulthood. All of our children are our future and we need to send them out into the world fully equipped and secure in themselves so that they can build a secure future for all of us.
We have at our fingertips a very ancient method of doing just that, a science that has been used for many thousands years and by many races of people. A science that can be in the present, plot the future and see the past, of people and places. The science of Astrology.
Just think of starting with our new borns. An astrological chart drawn up from the moment of birth, the first breath, as the child is expelled out into the world, the moment that it becomes a being in its own right.
The infant's needs, strengths and weaknesses will be shown in the birth chart, drawn up from the time of birth. What will this child's psychological needs be? Will one be able to push its progress, or, will this child need to be led? Will it be academic, or, will it be more intuitive, or is this a balanced being who has both of these qualities? What about a sporting nature, or will it be quietly studious?
The birth chart will also tell us where the soul has come from, the history of its past lives, don't forget if we study the history of this souls past we can prepare a course of action to create the future. The birth chart is a map of our past present and the future.
In today's climate of turmoil and chaos, there is present, a strong spiritual connection for many people. People feel that they are missing a vital part of themselves, that is the search, some people display this in violence some display it in illness, but it is still a search for that something. Spirituality is experiencing a very strong revival, out of the ashes the Phoenix will fly and at this time of breakdown (2006) of many things, great things will come and with it a reconnection to our spiritual heritage.
One way of making that connection to the whole of our being is through the astrological chart, here we have a many layered tool for seeing ourselves on a physical personality level, on a soul level and also on a Monadic level. We can also see what it is we need to do to progress on all of these levels.
