What is astrology--1
I
What is astrology? Like life itself, astrology is an infinitely complex sub
ject. Astrology includes many things. Naturally, astrology is a master vehic
le for intuitive perception and psychic insight. Astrology is also an art f
orm--one that lends itself to quick sketches and complex portraits of indivi
duals, couples, corporations, nations and more. Astrology can also clearly h
ave spiritual and religious undertones[1] as evidenced by studies of ancient
Egypt.
But astrology is not necessarily a belief system. People no more have to be
lieve in astrology than they do in dancing for example. Both can be fun and
useful pastimes[2] without belief in them. Although it must be added that,
according to Albert Einstein, a belief in astrology will make it work better
for you. After all, we live in a solar system, in a space-time continuum[3
], and astrology is the biggest contender for the unified field theory.
Yet above all else, astrology is a language. It works best as a language, a
nd it is perhaps more universal than broken English[4].
