How does Astrology work?Our bodies react to the world in ways which are still barely understood. We constantly interact with our environment
on many levels, from the sub-atomic to the metaphysical. These physical, mental, emotional, even spiritual,
levels of interaction vary in depth and intensity according to our character and training. Our world is really much more like a marvellous mind than a mere machine. Organically Connected with the CosmosThis writer believes we are organically connected with the cosmos: whatever happens to any part of the world affects us to some extent as individuals, even in ways which may be quite invisible to the casual observer. Moreover, history shows us that we react en masse much more noticeably to environmental factors which may be more or less insignificant at the individual level. As human beings and spiritual entities, it is more important to understand our place in the world than to worry too much about such technicalities. Freewill and DestinyIt should be said that astrology is not generally a way of foretelling inevitable fate. Paracelsus, one of the world's greatest astrologers,
remarked, quoting the ancients: "The stars incline; they do not compel" (Astra inclinant non necessistant). He meant that while planetary influences create the groundwork and basis for action
in any set of circumstances, there is still the element of free will in us all. We have become masters of our own destiny to the degree to which we are no longer subject to the mechanical influences of the conditioned world. We can use the techniques and insights of astrology to make sense of our connection with each other, with the universe at large, and with our own inner selves.
