When humanity first looked into the night sky, we saw millions of beautiful lights there. As we looked on, we observed that some moved. Through time, the patterns of the sky became more clear. The Shamen say that the lights were placed there to guide humanity to enlightenment. Perhaps this is the case, or maybe the wit to see the light is all we are given, eh?

“There should be lights in the Heavens to distinguish between the Heavens of the day and the Heavens of the night; to name signs and appointed times; and for seasons and enlightenment. These should be guides in the Heavens to brighten the Earth.” … Elohym honored this as good. The darkness came and the light returned, day two. |
Astrology and alchemy are two parents of modern science. Together they broadened the scope of human understanding of the physical universe. In addition, astrology is also the mother of modern mathematics. Algebra, trigonometry, and calculous all arose to explain the skies and what happened there. The pictures that we formed in the skies where a reflection of the dreams within the Shamen, who traveled in the Star Fields. As we looked to the skies, we saw the patterns of movements of planets. The pictures they traveled through became the zodiac.
As the Shamen gave way to priests, The search for cause and effect became more personal. we began to observe the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm. The spirit of this search was to Know the self. The practice became more than simple prediction of weather and seasons. What we wanted to know was to prognosticate personal weather and events.
The Shamen and Moghi observed the relationships between the pictures and the people born. we saw how people develop and change in their lives.
So, Astrology is the study of how events on earth, especially within society, synchronize with the positions and movements of astronomical bodies. This focuses on the geometric relations, particularly the sun, moon, planets, and stars, with a person or event. This is a reflection of the character and potential within the event. How the event uses this potential is a condition of environment. Of course, in the event of biology, genetics must also be taken into account.
