Astrology is used by many people to help them improve their lives. Even just being able to pinpoint why you're going through a rough time can be enough to make you feel better. Finding out what - or who - is causing your problems, the reassurance that it won't last forever, and the news that good times are just around the corner can alleviate a lot of worry. I know this because I've had so much positive feedback from people who have contacted me for advice. I also use astrology in my own life - I do practise what I preach!However, astrology is not just for people. Some astrologers do horoscopes for pets. As long as you know your pet's date of birth anything's possible. But you don't have to be a living thing to have a horoscope. Inanimate objects have charts too. Years ago, I even did a horoscope for someone's car. Everything has a 'birth' chart because everything has a beginning, a starting point. The most famous example is probably the chart of Titanic. I don't know any astrologer who hasn't done that one. And it is extremely fascinating.
Another area of astrology is called Mundane Astrology. In this context the word 'mundane' doesn't mean ordinary or boring. It comes originally from the Latin word mondanus, meaning 'world'. So it's all about worldly events: disasters, earthquakes, wars, politics, etc. The recent Grand Cross and Eclipses during April brought a record number of serious earthquakes. On average, we would expect to see one or two earthquakes per month that are 6.5-magnitude or higher. But in April there were 13 major earthquakes, five of them higher than 7.8.
According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC), April was 'easily a record'. It started with a huge 8.2 magnitude earthquake in northern Chile, followed by another huge earthquake that hit the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. And that's not all. There were isolated larger-than-normal quakes all over the world - in Nicaragua, Mexico, Canada, and even an unusual one in the South Atlantic.
Astrology is always active, influencing everything and everyone, all the time.
Really interesting about the earthquakes. Didn't know astrology was involved in all those things.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Astrology is connected to everything - that's why I love it.
DeleteThis is exactly the kind of thing we want to know about astrology. Too many people still believe magazine/newspaper horoscopes, and don't realise that proper astrology is a very powerful tool. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike.
DeleteYou make astrology so real. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle.
DeleteYour blog is so interesting. This has made me want to learn astrology. Do you teach?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah. It's a great compliment that my blog has inspired you to learn astrology, but sadly, I don't have time to teach it. There are many good websites you could check out though - and don't forget the old technique of reading textbooks which is how I studied astrology years ago.
ReplyDeleteTwo eclipses during the past few weeks and now a major earthquake in Nepal. What you said is true.
ReplyDeleteYes. :-(
