Quotes on Astrology!!
"I am now going to tell you that the birth chart is a reflection of the seed image of the soul. Think of the birth chart as a picture of the heavens taken at the exact time and place of your birth. A freeze frame of the heavens. This freeze frame shows us "what's in the air" at the time you were born. "What's in the air" literally, in terms of the planets and their geometric relationships, and "what's in the air" imaginatively, in terms of the gods and goddesses above and their interactions. As above, so below. The seed image of the individual soul is a reflection of a frozen moment in the history of the World Soul that surrounds it. Like a seed dropped from a tree.
The birth chart is a blueprint of the seed image of the soul, an archetypal map of the psyche. If we understand the chart to be a map of the archetypal patterns hard-wired into the soul at birth, then we have a sense of the potential of the chart as an imaginative tool, allowing us access into the foundations of our psychic structure."
Michael McLay, Jungian Psychologist
From the earliest recorded histories of humanity, astrology has been fundamental to the spiritual realities which have run through the world's mythologies, religions, and healing traditions. An awareness that we are all a part of some inexplicable, enigmatic wholeness can awaken and animate our reverence for the sacred and bring a sense of enchantment to our lives. As an unparalleled tool of self-awareness, astrology can help us make our time--our experience, our lives--deeply transformative. The expanded view with which astrology empowers us can open doors to a greater appreciation of our own motivations and a greater compassion for the motivations of others. It can also provide the psyche with a framework for realizing its fullest potential while endowing the soul with an understanding of its own evolution.the e

...My evenings are taken up very largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth.
