Astrology or Pop Astrology? Trend or Science? or both?
By Ani Pinkert
Well, certainly depends on who you ask. There are more astrologers now than ever before, contributing to this confusing spiritual trend around us. You will typically find the classic magazine horoscope, which is a very generalized version of a small part of astrology, (which in fact is never accurate). How so? It is based on the ascendant or rising sun, and not the sun sign we all follow.
Anyways there are many reliable astrologers and sites out there. On the contrary, many amateurs are just reading and guessing a few words from an app.
Astrology is fascinating , it is after all the " mother " of Astronomy in ancient times. As a powerful tool of self discovery and introspection, that stands for free will, there is an exact mathematical part of it that can predict fated events. Each person lives those events in a unique and particular way, as many factors are at play in the birth chart, and in the evolution/self awareness at the time of the cosmic events.
Nowadays there are many types of astrology, from Vedic to Western to Evolutionary, Hellenistic etc.
In my personal experience, astrology is the science of the cosmos applied from the energetic effect that creates all livings in planet Earth. Astrology bases its interpretation of the way we ( from planet Earth ) sees the constellations and planets, and not how those exactly are located or move (planets never go retrograde ) in the sky.
Astrology can be complex, but is very exact. It is literally mind blowing when you start diving deep into it. The best way to start is reaching out to a professional birth chart reader and ask as many questions as possible to get the big picture of your soul blueprint. The stars and planets tell the story, its not divination or magic, its indeed like taking a screen shot of the sky at the exact moment you were born and thats your soul blueprint for this lifetime.
In Evolutionary Astrology we focus a lot in the nodes of the moon, which are karmic mathematical points that describe your past and future lifetimes. With all that being said, it is true to astrology and to every explorer of the soul, that each one of us are totally unique and divine in our own way. Exactly how we are meant to be.
When you dive deep into the cosmic energies your life will change forever. Reading a horoscope can be fun, but so far from what all astrology has to tell and guide you into your unique path.
The path of the stars....
