Astrology the missing link?
Every man and woman is unique among earths many forms of life. This exulted position is the gift of an advanced brain, a biological machine so complex that it parallels the universe from which it was spawned. We are the reproductive effort of earth and cosmos. In some way we must relate to the universe in which we live and astrology is one attempt to find this link between us and nature.
Shakespeare says: “ The fault is not our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings”. A well known astrologer had said: “ The stars impel; they do not compel”. St. Thomas Aquinas says: “ The planets influence the more elemental part of man than passions”, but, through his intellect man can arrange his life in harmony with the planets, and also cultivate his inherent talents and manipulate them for his betterment.
The stars within us
But astrology cannot automatically solve all your problems. You must do that yourself. Just like a doctor who can discover the nature of disease, an astrological study can only show certain aspects of your life and character. After that it is left to you adjust your way of life. Of course, the task will be made easier, knowing what it is that you are up against.
Some people are too dependent on astrology. Keep in mind that astrology is very much an imperfect discipline and even the best astrologers can make serious mistakes. Use astrology intelligently just as you would use any tool which would make your life more comfortable and more enjoyable. In the end it is you who determines what the stars are saying.
Do not expect good luck to come to you or be handed to you easily without any effort on your part. If you want to reap the harvest, you must sow the seed and it must be the right seed. You will find what you seek only if you are willing to look within yourself and with a objective mind follow the stars you find there.
