As an astrologer, I spend my life answering questions. Which I absolutely love. I love and adore the fact that I am trusted to answer these questions, and I am committed to answering them in a way that respects the faith and trust that is placed in me. Today, I will try and explain why astrology works.
Today I was asked what the main difference between sidereal and tropical astrology is. This is where things start to get a little technical, and I will not answer that question as such here. However, it did make me go into a bit of a digression, which I think is worth writing about.
Astrology is one of the oldest sciences we have. I have to laugh at people who think it is for stupid people, because such an ancient, ancient science needs must be breathtakingly complex. With the thousands upon thousands of years of incredibly intelligent people who have added to the wisdom databanks on this subject, it is not something that can be grasped easily by someone who has an average mind.
Herein lies the key. These many millenia of people who have used this method of understanding themselves and the world around them have made it a living, breathing thing- something of incredibly powerful magick. The art of looking into the sky and discerning our own patterns there has become encoded within our very own DNA. We have taken the subtle mutterings of our own universal psychology and painted it onto the night sky in a series of codes that the wise can follow.
It isn’t just as simple as the Moon having a gravitational effect on the earth and on the water in our own bodies as well as the water in the sea, although this is part of it as well. This is a question of the magnificent human ability to grow and learn through observing nature in this earth school- which is only one of many many many worlds that we incarnate in, I might add!
Therefore, it doesn’t really matter if you use tropical or sidereal zodiac. Both are just keys. Both work. Some swear that sidereal zodiac is more accurate for transits, but I have chosen to concentrate my energy on one key, the one my immediate ancestors used. It isn’t about approaching astrology with ego and demanding mastery, in any case- but allowing this system to integrate with your own psychology as you use it to pick apart the question of who we are and where we are going.
