Or you could call it an art, it works either way.
Sceptics have no understanding of how astrology can work and so, by their shallow definition, it can’t work. Of course, Astrology can and does work in the right hands and in the right depth and detail. Everything is information including planets, stars and ‘space’. Their movements and interactions exchange information with the universal field. They imprint their information signature upon this field and combine with the movements of planets and stars in relation to the Earth, which enables a change in the the planetary energy/information field, or the energy ‘sea’ with which we are constantly interacting.
Different planets or groups of planets will have most influence on the Earth field at different points in the cycles. Configurations of planets known in astrology as conjunctions, oppositions, trines, sextiles, squares etc., produce even more powerful information impacts through their combined influence. Humanity, in turn, is interacting with these changing influences but not all in the same way. Our Body-Mind has astrological information fields which are dictated by where the planets and stars were in the cycle when people were born, or conceived. Even a few minutes apart can produce subtle differences. We all have an energetic blueprint within us of the heavens as they were when we were born/conceived.
Ancients divided the annual cycle (pattern) into segments called astrological signs to represent different energetic/information states caused by the positions of the planets and stars. There are differences, too, within these segments as changes happen hour by hour. Someone born in Leo will have a different astrological - energetic/ information field, to someone born in Aries. They will interact with and be influenced by planetary movements through their lives in different ways to each other.
This is the basis of astrology and ancient astronomers, also astrologers knew the two disciplines were inseparable. Astrology columns in newspapers and magazines are dismissed because ‘how can it be the same for so many people?’ It is of course too generalised; but when you go into the detail of an individual’s astrological background, those influences can be measured and interpreted by a skilled astrologer. Importantly these astrological influences are influences and they don’t have to dictate as we have our own free will.
Astrology is all about energy flows. Why do many corporate CEOs and business people employ astrologers to advise them on when to make moves in business to ensure that the energy environment is most conducive to a successful outcome?
Astrology may seem nonsense to many but only to those who have never studied the subject. Others will find that their experiences and the connections to astrological influences are clear when they analyse their lives or situations.
Good post Steve.
I think the reason for the garbage in the press, with the likes of Mystic Meg etc is designed for the masses to scoff at it and not look too deeply into the subject
That way the real knowledge never gets learned and the majority of the masses just laugh at it. The elite do not want the masses to educate themselves in this manner so they fill peoples head with rubbish and make all astrologers look like gypsies.
It is definitely done by design
