Astrology, Astrology, Astrology

My passion for astrology began many years ago when I was still in the financial industry, staying up til' 4am to study astrology after working at an office job for 16 hours until midnight was a typical thing for me! Luckily this is not the case anymore I can have adequate sleep as well as study astrology on a daily basis! It is with great ecstasy that I now take Astrology to a place where I can use it professionally for empowering people to become more enlightened individuals, in the same manner that I use my other healing techniques!

What is Astrology?

Reading the "fortunes" of men with the stars is a practice that has come a long way since the beginning of civilizations. In fact the study and use of astrology is believed to have come to mankind prior to the Ice Ages, from the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria!

To put it as simple and accurate as I possibly can, I'd like to describe the study of astrology as the study of evolution symbolized by the changes of planetary movements! It is not so much that we are "affected" by the movements of the stars, but that the energies of the stars are actually us (with different planets representating different aspects of our psyche!) and hence their changes are simply representative of changes within ourselves! This is not simply a tweak of perspective, but in fact a more accurate representation of the Truth of reality, namely embodied by a famous quotation - "As Above, So Below" (Lord Hermes Trismegistus). In Hermetic philosophy, we know that, what is outside of us is simply a reflection of what is inside of us, and vice versa. All that is without, is within. So, when we choose to perceive reality in this way, we know, that through understanding astrology, we can better understand the forces within ourselves, that propel us to think, act and feel in a certain way! So what astrology is, is also, a study of the energies of men, earth and the universe, or in an ever broader term - of Creation itself! The magic of astrology!
