Astrology is the science of finding connection between those of us on the Earth and the Cosmos. It follows the patterns of movement by the planets and stars and assigns meanings to them that relate to human motivation and consciousness. Astrology is not a simple meaning like what you read in the horoscope section of the newspaper.
Learning astrology is a fascinating discovery into our inner psyche and key to self-awareness. It is a way to integrate the different parts and pieces of our self and understand why we do what we do.
The first step in learning Astrology is determining your Sun sign! This is where the Sun was located in the zodiac at the time of your birth. Each astrological sign has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, personality traits, and compatible zodiac signs. Astrology can give us a glimpse of a person's basic characteristics, preferences, flaws and fears.
