The night sky has always intrigued us; generating awe, fear, attraction, wonderment. The luminous moon moved slowly in ever changing patterns and the mighty waters rose to greet her. The sun approached and the days became longer, warmer. It brought life of every nature to greater activity. When it moved away- stillness, cold and death. We somehow felt we were on some great stage, playing out our lives to the mysterious beings above who looked down watching everything we did. We noticed that as they changed- so did many different things around us.

 Astrology, considered the oldest science, involves observing, recording and correlating the heavenly movements to human affairs. One of the most basic Universal Laws of all natural things- Cause and Effect, was then applied to the correlated information to better understand ourselves, our purpose and what may become. All societies functioned in response to the influence of the celestial bodies: planting, fishing, sailing, working, sleeping, harvesting. Astronomy and Astrology were considered the same science for thousands of years. It was the relatively recent advent of a rationalistic, mental philosophy that rejected any subjective information that separated these two great sciences. This current, popular philosophy requires acceptance that only the left-brain, logic processor of the mind can "know" everything about human understanding. Thus, the intuitive and spiritual parts of ourselves are not to be trusted.

 All men are ..., all Orientals are..., all Christians are..., all farmers are..., are generalized statements that gives very little pertinent information. Our popular, sun-signed horoscopes in the newspapers are very much like this. But- there is so much more!

 Please, enter this gateway, to discover for yourself, some of the science and mystery of astrology; a little more of what it really is.
