Real Astrology - Defined and Explained: "
Three quick thoughts on astrology.
Real astrology is about the true management of time, i.e., the detailed identification of the qualitative attributes of cycles, and related assistance in forecasting and planning support. It is also about the mapping of our local space, thus it has a bearing upon where we chose to live, interact, invest, etc. upon the earth.
Astrology makes three distinguishing assertions:
1. It asserts that every juncture point in space and time has content, and that this content can be described qualitatively
2. It proposes that all phenomena in the universe, no matter how large or small, are somehow synchronously linked through common symbolic patterns.
3. Contrary to popular belief, many astrologers do not think that planets 'cause' anything any more than your morning clock 'causes' you to go to work. Planetary cycles are simply a mechanism to tell you 'what time it is' within your particular symbolic reality.
These are thumbnail reductions of very profound philosophical and metaphysical issues, but they are good enough for now. These three points are in flat contradiction with the current state of 'hack' science. But for those who keep up with such things, they are indeed very congruent with what is currently going on at the very leading edge of the theoretical sciences. Astrology was the first science, and it will end up being the last science. It's the only science that is inherently meaningful at all levels.
So, for example, when you see certain hack 'scientists' arguing that their current instruments cannot measure any planetary causality, they are, as usual, talking into the wind. Fortunately more and more real scientists are aware of this. "
