What Is Astrology Really All About? Is It Even Real?

People have lived their lives by the stars for thousands of years. Astrology is an exact science that can accurately predict events down to the day and can help you get off the loop your life may be stuck on.

People all through the ages have consulted Astrologers and relied on the stars to help them make important decisions. Astrology is a complex science that involves many different charts and reports to come up with accurate predictions. Often, the Astrologer would be a Mystic or Clairvoyant who could utilise third sight intuitively to come up with the answers the client was asking.

I will be introducing you to sites on the internet that can produce and print the reports and charts needed to understand the location of the planets affecting you at any given time from birth right through to old age. Together we will chart your destiny but please keep in mind that your future is not pre-destined; you have the ability to change the course of your life and sometimes even just having powerful information such as this is enough to change the entire course of your future.  

While some articles about zodiac signs are funny and entertaining and may come a little bit close to an accurate interpretation of who you really are, it's not until you've discovered all of the elements of your birth that you can fully understand why your life is unfolding the way it is. What is your moon sign? Your rising sign? Where are your nodes? What element, sign or planet rules your chart? Are you ruled by mostly male or female planets? Until we have explored these things at length we can't really appreciate the complexity of our 

Astrodienst is a free website that can print virtually any chart imaginable, even how holidaying or living in different destinations around the world would affect you. From finances to your romantic life, you are no longer kept guessing.  AstrologyOnline charges a small yearly fee and is excellent for interpretation of the yearly charts. Rosicrucian is an ancient order of Mystics and when you delve into this website you will find information that is so eerily accurate in its predictions of personality and fates that it seems unbelievable. There is a huge amount of information here and it's all for free

The other websites I use frequently are Astrofix, CafeAstrology and AstrologyKing. There are many other good websites and new ones are popping up all of the time. New planets and fixed stars are being discovered and old systems of astrology are being superseded by new ones constantly.

The planets Venus and Saturn have a big reputation, the prior for a propensity for love and the latter for the misery it can bring. I would say right here that it is correct but Venus can also be evil and Saturn can also be benevolent. The first thing we will be learning about is the signs and the symbols that represent them. Up next is the houses and how they can be interpreted. As you can see by the diagram below, there can be slight variations depending on the astrology company or system you are using and all of these are correct.

Rosicrucian Interpretation of the Houses

We then need to learn about the planets. As you can see by the diagram below, Mars and Venus do a dance in the sky which is just lovely. Each planet brings a particular flavour and each one traditionally represents love, money, sorrow, want of freedom, dreaminess etc.

The next thing to learn is the aspects and orbs allowed for each planet. Now, this can get a bit tricky depending on the astrology system you are using but for the sake of simplicity, we'll be using AstroTheme's interpretation which has always been very accurate for me.

It would be understandable at this point if you felt you were in over your heads but the beauty of using Astrodienst charts is that it already has a basic interpretation for you: the blue lines generally mean a good aspect ie: sextile and trine and the red lines generally point to the bad aspects. The nodes also play a big part in who you are becoming and who you will be a major player in your future as partner (we also look at synastry and compatability charts)

At this point we also take a look at the Part of Fortune chart as this basic interpretation will give you an absolute 'Yes' or 'No' as to the wealth you may accumulate over your lifetime and also predicts the course of your life over each 27 year cycle. Uber-stelliums can make or break a chart. As can family karma. If you happen to have the exact birth details of your family members you may be able to look back over all of the chart and begin to see a pattern ie: poverty, lack of opportunity for proper education, ill health and divorce can run in families. Yes, that's right, it's literally not your fault!

Signs, planets and houses can also rule the health so as the course progresses you will come to understand what the weaknesses are where your health is concerned and the aspects that may be involved with your death. This is an area that is very controversial and open to plenty of speculation but I can show you is you wish.

This is the part where astrology starts to get really interesting. When you learn the decans of each house you will begin to be able to put together who you really are and can ascertain your ruling planet and/or sign.

Fighting to also be recognised as important are the fixed stars. Ask me about the current world chaos and how the fixed stars are involved. Also, ask me about Altair (see diagram below) and how you can always tell a person who has Altair on their Saturn. Some of these fixed stars are truly evil and Astrologers are only now becoming aware of them fully. Algol and Scheat are particularly troublesome (I have Saturn on Scheat in 7th house!)

After attending my ten-week course and with a little practice you will be able to practice on your friends and families and may even be able to consult or teach yourself. It really is a wonderful feeling to be able to help others in this way.

I look forward to seeing you again and thank you for coming to this introductory workshop today. Please also find below simplified videos found on YouTube that give basic information about the beginning stages of Astrology. I hope you find them useful :)
