I love helping people, am unassuming, have provided value to my clients, and have been told by more than one reader that I have the gift.
The tools have always been available to study the self through the stars. They were developed thousands of years ago and have been improved upon through time. Knowledge is power. The more knowledge you have about yourself, the more powerful you will be in your life. All you need is an open mind, the will to understand and improve upon your life, and an intuitive and skilled astrologer.
Those who create the artificial schedules and timelines in this modern-day world would convince you that astrology is silly and inconsequential. That is because it threatens the energy pattern they want to overlay onto you to take your energy and keep you from yours.
“The stars incline, but they do not compel.” – Claudius Ptolemy
The second a baby is born, the position of celestial bodies determines characteristics of that child. That snapshot, or chart, provides a guide to that person’s personality, insight into their gifts and talents, and challenges they might face. As a child grows, she may seek answers to why her life is the way it is and want clarity to create a more abundant and enjoyable life. Astrology provides a map for working with energies available to that particular person to step into their lives more fully and with awareness.
In prehistoric times, people didn’t have television; if they weren’t communing around a campfire, they paid attention to the night sky. They noticed cycles and patterns. Just as events in the world – weather, seasons, sunsets, tides – became associated with the zodiac, so did human temperaments, preferences, gifts, and personalities. This body of knowledge has become increasingly intricate. Eventually, the zodiac symbols themselves became reflective of people born under a given sign.
Archeological evidence from caves and animal remains suggests that humans have tracked celestial events and astrology for thousands of years. The ancient Sumerians went a step further and began to record the planets and stars’ movements. Around 700 B.C., the Babylonians created the zodiac wheel we use today.
It depends on the reader. Many people will swear by their readings; others not so much.
Astrology was considered a science for centuries. It wasn’t until the Renaissance and Reformation that astrology began to be considered less scientific. Even then, elites continued to use it as a guide and tool.
In the last couple of centuries, astrology became more widely popular once again. Today, it is easy to follow. With so much content about it on the internet, it inspires people about themselves. It provides excitement about what’s to come and reassurance that life’s challenges have a rhythm and rhyme.
What people who are new to astrology worry about the most is if it’s true or not and if it predicts the future. The reason they worry is deep down they fear the negative side to their sign’s personality, if they will live up to the good stuff, and it’s a fortune telling tool that predicts negative events. Astrology is a system that leads people through self-exploration and understanding. What better way to help us avoid unwanted negative experiences is there than to examine the pitfalls of our star sign so we can work to change those aspects of ourselves that most likely work against us.
The short answer to this question is ‘no’ – astrology does not predict the future. It can offer insight into beneficial and challenging times in the future, but not specific enough to predict anything. An astrologer can give you an idea about your life areas that may come under overhaul or profound reflection. Still, lottery winnings, marriages, divorces and children cannot be accurately predicted.
Astrology is used to discover compatibility between people through comparing charts, but it does not determine if someone is your soulmate. I prefer to guide people to use their intuition to determine if someone is interested in them if they are interested in that person, and if so if the person is a good match for them based on how they make them feel. After that process, looking at the chart or relationship clairvoyantly is a good way to see if the relationship will work and if so, how well.
