What is Astrology?
Astrology, Numerology & Horoscope
Astrology is the "Mother" of all sciences ~ and our present generation is just beginning to realize this. The knowledge of Astrology
gives one a satisfaction that no other subject can give. The mysterious becomes plain and obvious. Anyone with ordinary abilities can
learn to cast a horoscope chart and interpret it to become a guide to all important affairs of life; i.e. marriage, health, business,
important changes. The knowledge of Astrology also increases one's awareness and understanding of self and others.
The term "horoscope" comes from the words "hora," which means an hour, and "scope," to view. In other words, to view the heavens
for the moment, date and place of birth of a person, thing or idea. This map of the heavens can be read to explain the characteristics
this person or object will manifest.
The accuracy of casting a horoscope is most important. It was said that Astrologers could not be true Astrologers unless they knew
how to cast a horoscope, which takes much study involving mathematics. Many who could have become great Astrologers gave up
because making their own charts was very involved and some didn't have the patience to go through with their studies. Today many
Astrologers still believe true Astrologers should know how to cast their own horoscope. I have mixed feelings about this myself. Yes,
they should know, but unfortunately they want to skip the difficult part and just read the chart. Today computers can make a chart in
minutes that used to take hours by hand. Esoteric World News has over 100 types of charts and reports available in our "Astrology
Charts" section of this web site.
Even then the astrology is believed by the millions of people and it is survived for thousands of years. Now days, people only believe
in this to change their fortune. Or we can say that people used to ask astrologers about their lives. By the 450 B.C. the Babylonians
developed a 12 sign zodiacs but it was Greeks from the time of the Alexander the great found the fundamental elements of modern
astrology. But the people get noticed about the astrology when the Christianity takes place, which emphasized divine invention or free
will.
There is one thing we should clear up immediately. The stars impel, they do not compel. This means everyone has "free will" to make
their own future. However, what I have found through years of experience is that the knowledge of Astrology can help a person change
his future. Without this knowledge, people just fall right into their charts. This means they do as the chart says they will if they don't try
to change what's in there for them. Do you believe in destiny and fate? I believe the chart shows what this destiny is. It takes a very
strong person to change his destiny. I haven't known many people who were able to "jump the chart," though I've known a few who
were able to lessen the effects because they acquired the knowledge through Astrology of what was ahead and prepared themselves
for it.
The lessons that follow are made simple enough for the novice. It will take you a while to see all these things in the works. You'll have
fun and learn the most from your own chart and the charts of those close to you. If you're like me, and fascinated with Astrology right
from the beginning, you'll make charts for everyone you know and watch them closely. When you learn what the planets do from
seeing things actually happen to someone you know, then you'll have each planet configuration down pat after you see what it does to
you and others time and again. These planet configurations affect people according to the configurations in their own chart ~ no two
people are alike or have the same charts ~ not even twins. AND, there'll never be another you ~ not in 20,000 years.
