We have the choice to plan, to prepare and to act in order to improve our lives and this choice is enhanced by the use of astrology. Astrology uses the symbolism behind the planets and the signs in such a way as to make known to us what is happening on a universal level and how that will affect our lives now and into the future. Through the studies of the heavens we can come to a conclusion about where we are and where we might be going. The patterns in the sky may be likened to a code with a message for us to read and benefit from. In astrology we measure time in a different way, a more variable and flexible way.
Timing is crucial in astrology.
Each planet is timed according to its' orb round the Sun and is linked to specific events that happen on Earth. Each one of us will experience time in a different way either due to our moods or due to the circumstances, good or bad, that we find ourselves in. Astrology connects time and space together in a way that suggests to us the interconnectedness of all things from the past to the present and into the future. Although this sounds rather mystical we must not forget that there are some strong opinions for it in the modern scientific world. The work of an astrologer is varied and it very much depends on what his interests and natural inclination is.
