Why Astrology?
Astrology is an ancient practice, going all the way back to ancient Babylonia. Most primitive cultures practiced some form of astrology. For more than 3,000 years, astrology and astronomy were the same science.
Ancient people followed the Sun, Moon and the stars without the scientific information we have today. For them, there was no explanation for why the sun rose in the east and set in the west. Why the moon had different phases, and why certain constellations could be seen at different times of the year.
Over the centuries they observed that human behavior was influenced by celestial events, which were cyclical in nature. Following these cycles proved helpful in navigating life. They were more successful in the planting and harvesting of crops, and when they might encounter difficulties in weather, war, and relationships. It was a way to make order out of chaos.
Astrology fell out of favor with the rise of Christianity, and other major religions, which rejected pagan gods. Also, the increase in scientific knowledge led to separation of astronomy from astrology. Despite all this, astrology has survived the centuries. It has regained much popularity today. For those of us who study this ancient art, we can still see the how the planets can effect human behavior. As above, so below.
Modern day astrologers often use astrology in conjunction with psychology (a recent 20th-century science) since an individual’s horoscope can tell about a person’s temperament, personality, and life path. Combined with an understanding of psychology, it makes for a powerful combination in human understanding.
