Astrology
is as old as measured
time. By Celestial influence, the Astrologer, those who study these science,
conceives the heavens and Earth as united, interpenetrating, and sharing
a common space and time. The great celestial events happening around and
beyond the Earth, are not seen as causing events to occur on Earth, but
as great signatures of events also happening here on Earth. There is no
"cause" in the heavens followed by an "effect" here on Earth. Bau, both
planetary and earthly events happen simultaneously and are mutually reflective.
Neither is the cause of the other; both are the product of the moment,
one acted out in the heavens above, the other here on the Earth below.
The great live art enacted in the sky is also acted out, in exact detail,
here on Earth in the same instant. Also the Earth is part of the cosmos
and shares in that cosmic moment. The ray of light as a sunspots, solar
flares and solar activity have a very immediate effect here on Earth; all
major cosmic events such as eclipses, moon phase, planetar cycle, are interactive;
they represent an activity also taking place within us and our consciousness.
Astrology is a study
of heavenly cycles and cosmic events as they are reflected in our earthly
environment and vice- versa - a vast cosmic clock. The cosmic patterns
revealed in the rhythmic motions of the planets a great help in shedding
light on the seeming helter-skelter of everyday life. Our Earth makes a
complete turn on its axis once in 24 hours. The horoscope wheel represents
the space surrounding where we were born. It is as if we were standing
outside with the sky above us, upper part of chart, and the Earth beneath
our feet, lower hemisphere. As the Earth turns, it brings each of the 360
degrees of the zodiac overhead, in 24 hours. The event chart is simply
a snapshot of the cosmos at the time of birth. The Earth itself turns on
its axis once in 24 hours. As the Earth turns during a day, each one of
us is exposed to the entire 360 degrees of the zodiac. The natal chart
is a diagram that stops the cosmic clock and captures the Universe as it
exists at the particular moment. |
