Free Astrology Guide
"It is clearly evident that most events of a widespread nature draw their causes from the enveloping heavens."
~Claudius Ptolemy
By understanding Astrology, you will understand more about yourself, others, and the world around you. What do the stars have to say?
This unique astrology guide will help you to understand a little more about what astrology is, how it works, and how you can use it. Astrology is about much more than just your basic "Zodiac Sign", and much more enlightening then the vague "newspaper horoscopes", which are just based on the influence of the sun at the time of your birth. Everyone also has a moon sign and a rising sign, and each individual planet in the solar system can give you a better understanding of who you are.
You can use the Free Astrological Calculators offered here for a quick and easy interpretation of your personal horoscope, and get daily, weekly, and monthly forecasts, sign and planet descriptions, and much more. The following astrology sections will also help you learn a little more about how to create your own natal/birth chart, which is your "cosmic blueprint". You will also find lots of advanced links and resources throughout these sections, in case you want to explore or research the art and science of astrology further. If you are just starting to learn about astrology, or if you've never even heard of it up until now, this guide will definitely point you in the right direction and give you a somewhat in-depth rundown of the most essential astrological elements that shape your life experiences.
From its Ancient Beginnings to its current modern use, astrology continues to shape our understanding of the hidden world around us, and the world within us. In the words of Hermes Trismegistus, "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above, corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the "One" Thing". Through understanding the nature of oneself (the microcosm), one can gain a better understanding of the nature of the universe (the macrocosm), and reverse can also be said; By understanding the nature of the the positions and movements of the celestial bodies above, such as at the time of one's birth, one can become aware of how their past, present and future is being influenced.
Astrology can give you a glimpse into the synchronistic patterns of nature that seemingly work behind the scenes, yet are reflected in the collective unconsciousness of humankind, and in our day to day lives. One's birth date, time, and even location can influence the personality traits and characteristics of an individual, and may even reveal possible karmic issues, challenges and setbacks that you might face in your life. Astrology can give you the knowledge and insight you need in order to make better decisions in your life. It can reveal the hidden aspects of your own subconscious mind, inner hopes and dreams, talents and virtues, and help you to realize your true potential. As we move through this new Age of Aquarius, the spiritual use of astrology will continue to flourish
