Astrology
is the intimate study of the interactive nature of our universe. Our
world, our solar system, the stars of our neighbouring galaxies and
the very nature of our inner being are deeply interconnected. The
planets spin majestically around their stars and we too are part of
this dance, every element of nature finds it place. The movement of
a celestial body determines in turn that of its neighbours and together
they act directly upon the life all around us and touch each and every
one of us deeply in ways we might not necessarily be aware of. To
fully grasp the significance of astrology it is important to understand
that astrology difers greatly from what we expect from psychics and
clairvoyance. If you wanted to know a winning lottery number, or the
street address of that tall dark stranger then astrology wont help
you much. However, unlike psychics, astrology will not deceive you.
Astrology will teach you to read the signs present in your life and
will guide you, and can explain the influences present at the moment
of your birth and which remain with you throughout your life on this
Earth. Its message has no sell by date, astrology is as old as the
stars.

Many
centuries ago, the ancient peoples noticed that the movement of the
stars and planets which they observed in our heavens created certain
patterns and influenced certain behavoir here on Earth. The Moon was
seen to affect the tides and as the seasons changed the planets moved
in and out of conjection with our planet. In order to better understand
this strange corellation between the heavens and the life they felt
within themselves, the ancients carefully divided up their vision
of the heavens, named all the planets and started to interpret the
intricate dance of the starry sky to others.. The ancient astologers
belived that the planet we live on shares the same intimate space
as those planets which we see above us and thus the science of astrology
was born. The vision of the ancients does not differ greatly from
this scientific evidence, our modern scientists have confirmed the
belief held by the ancients ; the passage of comets, the flares of
our Sun and the radiation of light emitted by far-off galaxies have
been proved to touch our Earth in tangible ways. This vast cosmic
structure is intensely interactive, events in the cosmos touch our
consciousness and our actions have far-reaching consequences in this
solar arena

Many
astrologists tend to emphasise the prediction side of their work,
which has contributed to the common misconception of astrology as
a science of forecast. The true goal of astrology is not to shape
your opinion, nor to determine your behavoir but to provide you with
the necessary information to make an enlightened decision. The knowledge
which astrology brings us allows us to discover and explore our inner
being, to understand our personal psychology and reveal our inherent
potential. A full analysis of a natal chart can shed an incredible
light on our inner selves and can serve as an invaluable guide for
the rest of our lives. Astrology helps us to better understand the
behavoir and character of those around us, their strengths and weaknesses.
Even without knowing the exact time of our birth, the wealth of information
open to us is staggering. The cosmic dance of the planets of our own
solar system can help interpret the apparent chaos of our daily lives
and can help us find our own direction in the midst of the crowd.
The planets in our heavens change constantly and therefore your personal
chart presents you with a multitude of opportunities to learn, understand
and to use to your best advantage. Living life to the full and with
pure enjoyment is not always easy to do and so astrology helps us
to realise the uniqueness and beauty of our being and shows us our
inherent capacity to love and to be loved. Losing the sense of your
personal self is something which happens to us all. Astrology picks
us back up, cleans us up and sets us back on our way. Astrology gives
us the opportunity to turn negative elements to our advantage and
offers us the true knowledge and power of our positive strengths which
expand our horizons and show us the richness of our lives here on
Earth
