What Is Astrology?
The stars don’t rule your life — you do — but understanding their secrets will help you control your destiny.
Astrology Is Real
Long ago, our ancestors wondered the same things we wonder today. Why are we here? What are we doing? How should we live? Those who looked up to the stars in wonder and with open minds — the astrologers — found their answers in the patterns of nature and the heavens.
Behold: the Earth’s relationship with the sun divides life into alternating light and darkness, and the cycle of four seasons. This pattern is reflected in the body’s sleep-wake cycles, and it governs the way we grow our food.
It was obvious to ancient people: the activity of the spheres floating in the heavens had clear consequences on Earth.
Astrology Is About More Than Science
Where there are humans, there is psychological projection. As they studied the stars, looking for patterns, astrologers made what appear to modern minds as mistakes in logic.
Take for example this idea: being born under the sign of libra means that person will grow up to be sociable and value balance.
