Astrology is a Spiritual Art and Science

At the core of the art and science of Astrology is the fact that all life is spiritual and that humans certainly are spiritual beings.

This fact, by the way, is not bound by secular religion. By way of a model, we can say that we are and all life is an expression of spirit. The spirit or divine spark expresses itself, in turn, as soul. As spiritual beings with souls (which is actually a case of souls with bodies or incarnated souls) we are reincarnated. As reincarnating beings we are subject to the Laws of Karma. In a simple translation Karma means cause and effect…the spiritual component begins with the fact that this cause and effect process transcends the physical, time-space continuum, just as we do as souls. This simple model is another way of saying that we are evolving by virtue of the fact that we are born in a body in the natural world otherwise referred to as the dimensions of physicality.

The majority of the world recognizes this fact and have done so for millennia. However, the material sciences of the west decided that this cannot be proven and so is not true. Such logic is unfortunate, but perhaps is part of the plan. This decision or, shall I say denial, is one of the major denials of the western world and goes along with the fact that the Holy Bible was changed in approximately 300 A.D. at the Council of Nicea. Mention of re-incarnation along with a host of other spiritual truths was omitted, probably for political reasons. The fuller story of the reasons for the decisions of this council is complicated and threatening to many people’s beliefs and this is not a place for such a discussion. Suffice to say that it was perhaps socially and certainly politically expedient in that it secured a hierarchy with a Pope at the top and the Kings in rank below. The key here is to understand that reincarnation was erased from the sacred teachings of western civilization.

As a tool, an Astrology chart measures evolutionary process with exquisite and erudite accuracy. There is free will, however, which I like to refer to as the Chaos Factor, and although prediction is very possible in Astrology, it is actually not its most important quality. In fact, to a more spiritually inclined Astrologer, it may be said to be one of the lower applications. A deeper evaluation of one’s spiritual responsibilities as an evolving being is perhaps the highest form of Astrology. This includes an evaluation of the union of character and destiny. In other words, it is not the events of our life that are so important, it is the quality of being in which we meet the events. Seeing the events of our journey as opportunities for growth, whether they are deemed positive or negative is the key.

When looking at a person’s Birth Chart, emphasis is upon determining the core life qualities, and lessons. The goal is to help people be more aware of the deeper meaning and purpose of their life experiences and expressions. This type of approach is done to increase the intelligence and wisdom of our choices. Sometimes, these are even contrary to “common sense” which may be common but which is not necessarily good sense. Such discernments are personal and the role of the Astrologer is to support each person at whatever level of awareness and consciousness they are operating. Above all, Spiritual Astrology is a guide from one soul to another in order to assist in the evolutionary journey.
