A
new astrology has been discovered. At the same time that the Hubble telescope is bringing us mind-expanding glimpses of our universe, there has quietly emerged a new conceptual way of looking at that universe. Paralleling advances in the various sciences, a new astrology has begun to replace the old.
The old astrology --- the currently popular geocentric art that reached its high point during the Middle Ages --- adequately described an old way of life. The grounded, earth-centered point of view was good enough for our ancestors in their reality---but it is no longer very useful. Knowing, as we do, that the earth is not the center of everything, changes everything. We are a people --- on a planet, orbiting a star, inside a galaxy, amongst countless galaxies like grains of sand. After a long history of living provincially and barbarically on planet earth, we are about to launch forth into the universe, quickly becoming intelligent birds of space that go on and on into the Void. Humanity is so amazed at this truth that it has reacted in shock and denial, and is trying to fall back to the past --- hurriedly and forgetfully denying the new opportunity and staunchly attempting to carry on as usual with outmoded ways. However, the time for change has come --- and we, reluctant or not, are definitely on our way to Infinity. Galactic astrology has evolved from the old astrology as a guide for the new humanity. Galactic astrology reminds that a human being's life is intermixed with the life of his planet, the life of his star, and the life of his galaxy. Instead of waiting until scientists get around to proving that the universe is totally conscious and alive, we affirm it now, and say, "As above, so below; we are a part of this divine cosmos. Let us behave accordingly." And while we prepare for the stars, yet we still live solidly on earth. Galactic astrology is practical, providing help where we need it --- in our everyday lives, in growing as human beings, in understanding our very important relationships, in making a decent living. This science helps us to dream great dreams, but it also takes care of the very real down-to-earth necessities which we all require. Galactic astrology has been researched experimentally. Its findings have been slowly extracted from actual studies of history, historical personages, and present lives. It is built upon theory that matches the latest scientific discoveries, and then it is backed up with repeatable scientific proof. A higher point of view leads to a higher life. Looking at your galactic chart of conception, we can see the high life that you may live----if you choose to live nobly and become high. We also can see the lower life, the common collective life that you might join --- if you follow the crowd and give up. Both ways of life, the higher and the lower, are clearly visible in the galactic chart. By studying and understanding this chart, you are studying and understanding a higher view of yourself, with the result that you learn how to skillfully avoid the traps while you gladly reach for what is useful and happy. As always, it is up to you, your own self-aware self, as you find yourself poised in the middle of the Stars, looking around with awe and wonder. Perhaps it is time for you to acknowledge that ths beautiful cosmic mystery is worthy of utter respect, and so to live in the midst of it as as the wide-eyed child of a mighty Universe. Since that Universe is your real progenitor, your true mother and father, perhaps it is also time to understand that there is no end to wisdom, or to your growth. |
