It is a tool for consciousness, a tool for KNOWING THYSELF, as Socrates said. It is a tool for understanding the cycles of life, at any stage of your life. As my teacher, Rod Suskin said, it is preparing for the weather by getting an umbrella should it rain. Certain things in life are unchangeable, and will happen anyway according to your karma for your soul’s highest development & evolution.

Out of all the divining arts, Astrology is the most accurate – statistically, 70 – 75% of the time. Most people know their Sun Sign, and are open to the Art of Astrology as a guiding tool to live their lives most fully.

The way Western Astrology works is not, in fact, based on the planets moving through the actual constellations as most people think. The reason for this is because the constellations move ever so slightly over time. The Ancient Greeks devised a method after discovering the movement of the constellations over time would never yield consistent results.

So how does it work? Well, in Astrology, we follow the path of the Sun, which dictates the earth’s seasonal cycles. The Astrological year therefore commences on the Autumn Equinox – the 21st of March – where Aries, the first sign of the zodiac begins. Sun then spends roughly 30 days in each sign, 12 signs in all, culminating again at Aries after one year’s solar cycle.

If the Sun dictates the Earth’s seasonal cycles, and the Moon influences the tides & our emotions, the logical thought from there is that the planetary movements affect us as human beings, as we are part of nature. Over many, many years of noting the planetary cycles and the effect they have on us, Astrology has shown time and time again, to be both a science and an art, which proves consistent and reliable.

Most people also think that Astrology doesn’t work because you can’t group people into just 12 signs – and that is absolutely right! Your birth chart consists of much more than just your Sun Sign, an intricate & complex blueprint as unique as you are.

You can use Astrology to empower yourself, get to know yourself, your partner, family & children, to see what the year ahead has in store for you as well as find out what the best vocation for you is.
