As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul.” – Hermes Trismegistus

All things in the universe are connected and in relationship with one another. Somehow, since the dawn of time, mankind has intuitively known this. Technically, astrology is the study of the correlation between the heavenly bodies and events on Earth. Astrologers use a combination of scientific knowledge about the cosmos, scientific tools, intuition, and psychology. Astrology works with energy patterns, with a basis in the elements, similar to the studies of yoga, feng shui, numerology, crystal healing, and acupuncture. It focuses on relationships, patterns, and cycles, and opens doors into understanding our psychological nature. Astrology moves us past the surface-level focus on what we’re doing, to why we’re doing it, and into the deeper need or desire beneath. This type of understanding leads to increased acceptance, compassion, sense of meaning and purpose, and inspiration to evolve.
