Everything
changes over time and the language of Astrology has also changed. For
most of us the only contact we have with the subject is through the columns
using astrology as entertainment. This is interesting and fun but has
no relationship to the way Astrology is practiced today. “So what is it
and what is it for?” you might ask. I will explain it this way: It is
a language of symbols that represent the characteristics of human beings
based upon their relationship to the Sun and the planets that revolve
around the Star we call the Sun. So let’s jump into the middle of the
subject and talk about YOU! Following are twelve patterns of behavior.
Let us say that you were born in July but the characteristics of the sign
Cancer do not seem to describe you. Read the following descriptions and
identify the ones that you recognize as personal traits of yours. You
have just discovered a part of your real chart. You can have a chart calculated
for the date, time and place of your birth or you can learn to recognize
your own unique qualities and those of your friends and family.
When
I first started studying Astrology about 35 years ago, I was very skeptical
that the date you were born could influence your personality. It seemed
illogical that planets so far away could affect human beings on the planet
Earth. After much study, I became aware that the “new physics” of Einstein
and Neils Bohr and others has changed the view of our Universe. It is
now clear that we humans could not be isolated from the energy that swirls
around us if we tried. With the scientific breakthroughs using radio,
microwaves and other technology in which voice messages and electronic
signals travel via satellite around the world the basis for the old astrology
seems more plausible.
None
of this would have any meaning unless the principles of Astrology can
be used to improve the quality of your LIFE! So I will explain the way
in which I believe you can use the knowledge it reveals to help solve
problems, improve your relationships with the people you love and the
people with whom you work. Understanding the cycles of the planets moving
through the sky can provide a timetable for organizing your life, much
as the seasons of the year, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter mark the
timing of different activities. It is based upon twelve principles or
characteristics that you will recognize as the signs of the Zodiac.
