Astrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for meaning in the sky. Astrology is a method of predicting mundane events based upon the assumption that the celestial bodies—particularly the planets and the stars considered in their arbitrary combinations or configurations (called constellations ) in some way either determine or indicate changes in the sublunar world.
Civilizations have used astrology for thousands of years all over the world. Greek, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, and Native American cultures, to name a few, all have their own forms of astrology. No one can truly explain exactly how it works, but evidence is undeniable that there is a direct correlation between our lives on earth and celestial patterns. Today we use astrology to identify personal development processes, influences on a collective level, and trace celestial patterns of influences into the future. Astrology is a symbolic language that combines astronomy references with mythology and archetypes. |
