Hidden Side of Life - Astrology

There are various types of Astrology.  In the West, a very common type of Astrology that people study is Western Astrology.  This is one type of system to look at the zodiac and the stars to understand someone's psychological make-up, personality and emotional state.  This system is based on looking at the zodiac from a tropical lens.  In simple terms, this is based on the position of the sun from the earth.  

Sidereal Astrology is based on the earth's position in relation to constellations.   Another very important aspect of Astrology is the Lunar Calendar.  The moon has a 27-28 day cycle that mirrors the woman's menstrual cycle (not a coincidence) so understanding the 27 Lunar Mansions as they move through the phases each day, and which Lunar Mansion the moon was in at birth, can explain a telling aspect of one's mental state and personal outlook.  The Lunar Mansions have stories behind them.  Some people will refer to these stories as myths.  The hidden knowledge and wisdom is often played out in a similar story for the native's life.  This is also a technique to understand someone's underlying motivations and soul desires beneath a zodiac sign.  

Chinese Astrology uses the Lunar Calendar and Vedic Astrology uses the Lunar Phases, Lunar Mansions and sideral alignments at birth to reveal the placements within one's life map.  Some might say Western Astrology is about telling people what they already know about themselves, while Vedic Astrology is more of a prediction system that advises people about their potential, spiritual path and areas of focus for this birth.  Both offer similar benefits and can help people arrive at the same conclusion.  There are many other types of systems for Astrology.  Over time, various cultures and spiritual traditions have come up with different ways of reading the planetary energies and the stars.

Many claim that Astrology is not always accurate and that it is not a real science.  This is often a claim that is made without intense and in-depth study into any of the systems.  In addition, when we are looking at the occult (be it tarot, various systems of Astrology, Numerology, etc.) it will most often come to life more when we use our intuition.   Simply trying to rely on intellect and formulas will not aid you in understanding.  People with a deep reverence for the divine intelligence as well as a humble attitude when it comes to human limitation, are often granted even deeper access to secret knowledge and wisdom.  

We will share different astrological insights from a variety of traditions. Our readers come from a range of knowledge and systems on the topic.  Truth can be revealed no matter which system you prefer.
