The Power of Birthdays, Stars & Numbers

Astrology
Since the earliest days of our civilizations we have observed the heavens to gain a greater understanding of the relationship between humanity and the universe. To early humans, the impermanence of existence on Earth brought uncertainty. The recurrence of celestial phenomena, however, such as the rising and setting Sun, in contrast brought reassurance. Our ancestors perceived this contrast as the fundamental distinction between celestial and terrestrial domains. Astrology is, therefore, a study of the meaningful interaction between the stars, planetary cycles, and events on Earth.
One of the few remaining philosophies to maintain a holistic perspective, astrology teaches us that everything is interconnected. Nothing stands as a law by itself. Everything is part of a constantly shifting and dynamic relationship with the cycles of the cosmos. We do not stand outside this living system. We affect it, and we are profoundly affected by it. All people are part of a changing and dynamic relationship with other people. The universe is a complex interplay of cycles and forces, as opposite polarities set each other in motion, themselves part of greater systems. Astrologers acknowledge this interplay and try to comprehend it through symbolism.
No person stands alone, for all people are part of shifting and dynamic relationships with other people, and each of these people is involved in shifting and dynamic relationships with the cycles of the cosmos.
All that is organic pulses, is distinguished by periodicity. This cyclic, rhythmic existence is captured by the astrological hypothesis. Astrology embraces complexity, the simultaneity of subjectivity and objectivity. Objectively, astrology measures time by the cycles of the planets, giving a unique perspective on the meaning of duration. Subjectively, astrology operates through deep symbolism and finds knowledge through the study of context.
Astrology maintains that the course of nature is a circle or mandala. In the 360 degrees of the circle we experience each moment of being individually and collectively. Each degree is a separate fragment of the circle, but only with each degree present does the circle exist. The mandala is a symbol of all creation, a self-contained and perfect form with no beginning, no end. The circle stands for both the universe and all human individuals, for the universe within. All of life's activities relate to this circle. Its structure also conveys the cycles of time. By exploring astrology, one can reveal the connections between the external and internal universes, gaining greater psychological and spiritual awareness.
The two major lights in astrology are the Sun and Moon, which correspond to the cycle of day and night. On the basis of this rhythm, solar and lunar calendars were established by early cultures and interpreted as hours, days, months, and years. In psychological terms, the symbolic union of the Sun and Moon is perceived as "the mystical marriage," representing the union of opposites within the individual. In Eastern philosophical terms this union is characterized by the yin/yang, or masculine and feminine, principles.
A personal horoscope is a "map" showing the precise position of the planets in our solar system in relation to Earth at the moment of an individual's birth. In its basic form the astrological birth chart consists of ten planets and twelve zodiac signs.
