Astrology has been studied and practiced continuously for thousands of years and has played an important, and often central, role in the scientific, medical, philosophical, literary and psychological traditions of cultures all over the world. From ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece, through to the present day, astrologers have seen the stories of individual lives and great historical events reflected in the heavens. Astrology sees humans 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. From the beginning of time our ancient ancestors have always looked to the cosmos as a reflection of man’s inner self, soul and path/Karma, hence the term as above, so below. So through the art and science of astrology and cosmology one can seek guidance of the journey of one’s soul and spirit.
