AstrologyAstrology is the study of the locations of the heavenly bodies with the belief that they have a direct impact on the course and events of one's life and also that they affect the characteristics present in the personality. Man has always looked to the world about him in an attempt to prove he is part of a well-ordered and stable universe. To look at the sweep of the night sky, as was done by herdsmen, fishermen and primitive farmers, and try to relate the movement of the stars and constellations to worldly events was to attempt to find consolation and direction in existence-to prove that life has meaning beyond sheer chance. More importantly, early man, as is the case with men today, had a driving need to know the future. When one's life is dependent upon the food from the field or forest, the knowledge of whether the harvest or hunt will be successful takes on more importance. Similarly, the desire to know how the battle with one's enemies would play out was part of knowing the future. Will I be victorious or a captive of the opposing forces at day's end? Astrology thus, consists of two main premises: 1. The universe is not the result of chance. It follows precise rules and laws. It is orderly and predictable. 2. I am part of an orderly universe; therefore the events which will happen in my future are orderly and predictable. Factor number one is easily proved. Mankind could follow the course of the constellations and stars across the night sky through the seasons and years and track, record and predict their path. Factor number two was not much of a stretch to believe, once premise one is determined to be true. The next phase then, in the study of astrology is to move the stars from being an example of the order of the universe to the role of being the CAUSE of order in universe. Therefore, mankind began to consult the astrologers (originally the same as astronomers) to determine the most propitious time some future action should be planned. Would the stars favor a military battle in June or August? Should the royal marriage be planned for one month in the future or six months from now? All in all, astrology represents a movement from chaos to order.
