astrology

To put it simply - astrology is the ancient art of the measurement of effects caused by celestial bodies, on our lives. Much as the Moon influences the planet's tides, astrologers can interpret how the energies of the planets may influence us.

Taking the exact positions of the planets at the time of birth, an astrology chart can be seen as a blueprint or map of the lessons we need to learn this lifetime. Understanding the strengths and challenges (and most importantly the generational life cycles) inherent within a birth chart, we can start to anticipate and work with the energies. Power of choice always exists - how we react to events - so the more we learn and grow, the better we understand and therefore survive.

Astrology examines the most important patterns of life, and is an endlessly fascinating trip to increased awareness.
