Astrologers use scientific facts in the mapping of human consciousness and as keys to the understanding of experience. This is an interpretative process, which does not depend on accepting particular theories about how planets can affect us, or on whether they are a sort of synchronous clock ticking along with psychological and social factors on earth, or on some other causal process. The strength of astrology comes from the accumulated knowledge of centuries of research and observation. Combined with accurate mathematical and scientific data, today's astrologers can use this established knowledge in the generation of valuable psychological, economic, or predictive profiles. All things are connected Astrology, however, is grounded in a profoundly holistic view.
Astrologers believe that all things in our universe are intimately and deeply connected.
The world, as we see and experience it, is a great deal more like a being than a thing. The spiritual side of astrology connects us consciously to the intentions of this world-being and how they apply to our lives as we live them. The art of astrology lies, at the most profound levels, in the meaningful interpretation of powerful symbols. Through making sense of a range of apparently chaotic and unrelated events, astrology in the right hands shows how these events relate directly to us and generate the daily experiences of our lives.
