Brief Astrological Overview
The
study of astrology as we know it today began in Egypt, China, The
Indus Valley, and Meso-America as long as 9,000 years ago. We are
strongly influenced by the work of the Babylonians passed on to
the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Persians.
As the study of the stars, planets and constellations
gradually developed in each of the cultures, astrology was reserved
for the use of kings and heads of state.
Charts of princes, kings and of coming wars/battles were prepared
by highly educated astronomers and mathematicians (the Magi, for
example). Such historical figures as Alexander the Great and Ptolemy
(the great Greek mathematician) played significant roles in the
Egyptian and Greek development.
In the 16th century (and perhaps as early as the 12th),
astrology was taught as part of the curriculum at many universities
including the University of Bologna (where Dante studied). By the
20th century psychiatrist Carl Jung was writing extensively about
astrology as a psychological tool and using charts regularly in
his practice.
ASTROLOGICAL CHART PREPARATION
Astrological Charts identify planetary relationships
and transits at various times in your life, then combines the use
of astrological insight with modern psychology to give you a detailed
portrait of your personality.
Natal Charts are excellent
tools for personal growth and development. A Natal Chart will help
you to understand the energy patterns at the time of your birth,
and help you see how these universal patterns influence your experiences
and choices. Natal Charts help you reflect on your life experiences
and plans for the future.
Composite Charts compare
and study the planetary relationships of any two people - parents
and children, couples, friends, siblings, etc.
Progressed Charts bring
Natal Charts forward into present time. We can examine transits
and look at astro-cartography graphs.
Geographic moves to different locations can be analyzed
for their significance by means of astro-cartography.
