On astrologers

Unless you study astrology yourself, or frequent an astrologer, you probably have some misconceptions about what it is. A proponent of astrology would tell you that the stars in our skies reflect conditions and circumstances on earth, and astrology is the study of that reflectivity.

If you ask astrologers why that reflection exists in the first place, the answer to that question belongs to philosophy. While different astrologers have different philosophies about the origin and nature of that reflectivity, many of them would say that the way the universe looks to you at the moment of your birth essentially reflects the way you (your life) looks to the universe. In any case, the same source that created this universe must have also designed that reflectivity.

Our culture, of course, doesn’t encourage our best and brightest to study this subject, which is perhaps why some scientific tests of astrologers have failed to yield positive results. Except for the rare anomaly, the majority of people who look into studying this subject often have very limited capacity to master it.

I have studied astrology since 1978, and for 35 years I have watched it working as advertised. I’m here to tell you (and show you) , it’s the read deal - this legendary connection betwen heaven and earth is authentic and demonstrable. But I will also say in the same breath that the study of astrology is and always will be an imperfect effort. No astrologer will ever be able to predict everything that happens in a person’s life with complete accuracy. The reason for that is that studying astrology is essentially like trying to decipher God’s shorthand, and no human mind is ever going to be fully up to that task.

But that is not to say that we can’t make out a bit here and a bit there, and that’s pretty much what astrologers do. And that effort, I feel, is as noble as anything a person can do, because it brings one face to face with the realization that s/he has a Creator who had a specific plan for his or her life. And that, I think, is a pretty important notion to plant in folks’ minds.
