What is Astrology?                                                 FREE ASTROLOGY REPORTS

Astrology is a symbolic language. The word astrology is derived from the Greek words astron meaning 'star' and logos which means 'word'. Astrology therefore, literally means the "language of the stars". Astrology is based on an ancient law known as 'AS ABOVE, SO BELOW', otherwise known as the Law of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm. The Macrocosm is the universe, symbolised by the sky, or the starry dome which we can see from Earth. The Microcosm is us: man or woman, the human, the individual here on Earth.

So, astrology says that the same laws that guide the universe also guide humanity. We are not separate from the universe - we are a part of it. Its energies are our energies, and we must therefore work in the same way that it works. It is an astrological assumption that if we learn to look above for understanding, we will come to understand more about ourselves.

The Sun, Moon and planets all follow exact patterns of movement. You probably already know that the motions of the planets in our solar system can be measured precisely by astronomers. So, it is an astrological belief that the same laws which apply to the movements of the heavenly bodies also operate in our personal lives. The basic idea is that all the individual parts of the universe, from planets to people, cooperate with each other and work together in harmony.
