Astrology is a process of synthesis. It is a process of taking your observations and putting them together. When you have seen a correlation between astrology and behavior repeated over and over, you can start to see a picture forming. Astrologers are not perfect and they all see things through their own lens. This lens is colored by their inherited psychological predisposition. Astrologers spend a lot of time determining what is “I” and what is not “I”.
Some observations seem to evade consciousness but on some level these observations have become a part of us. Within us are answers to the questions of life. If we give attention to a problem, we can find the answer within. Also, the thinking behind astrology includes compassion toward our fellow man. We cannot harm others without harming ourselves. You might ask how you can get even, but it is only possible by living your example. You can influence others by example only. “Living well is the best revenge.”
The thinking behind astrology is somewhat counter intuitive but it is within the grasp of all people whether or not they have studied astrology. Studying astrology gives a great deal of insight into our own psychology and therefore allows us to understand other people. Know yourself and you will know the others.
