WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
Astrology is a combination of both art and science, the study of planetary energies which correspond to life on earth. It is the most powerful tool for looking at the human psyche and pinpointing various psychological tendencies. A natal (personal) chart is cast by using birth data to determine the position of the planets for an individual. The manner in which the planets interact or "speak to one another" in the chart creates various patterns that signify mental and emotional personality traits. Astrology is the blueprint of your life's potential, but it is also necessary to take into consideration culture and early environmental influences. Personal astrology cycles show important periods of development and experience which bring various periods of opportunity, creativity and change, depending on the particular influences acting upon the natal chart at a certain time. There are many different types of astrology. While personal astrology is important for the individual, mundane astrology is the astrology of the collective trends and cycles which motivate and affect entire generations of people.
