Preface
Astrology is a symbolic system of self-knowledge and knowledge about the world
surrounding us, and very efficient practical method for predicting future, deeply
understanding people, relationships, social and all other structures and events, and
determining their manifestation in time.
Astrology studies patterns – the patterns of planetary motions, psyche, past and
future events, social structures and movements and patterns of universal forces. Its
language encompasses planets, signs, houses, aspects ... its ground is unity of man
and universe.
Astrology is an efficient method for consciousness development. Long study of our
natal chart leads to self-knowledge and self-detachment. With time and practice we
change the perception of ourselves as solid, unchangeable and determined, to field or
network of forces that shape as and guide us. This way we look at other people too,
and world around us. We recognize that the fundament of everything is
consciousness – ultimate creative force which can integrate our natal chart, transform
disharmonious influences, learn us how to achieve the best of us, and choose when
and how to act and materialize our dreams.
With practice we conclude that astrologic picture is more faithful and accurate than
usual impressions and methods of cognition. So trust in astrology deepens, and love
for symbols unlocks deeper layers of interpretation. Universe opens its door. We are
no longer separate individual on periphery, trying to swim against the current, but the
vortex in the stream of universal existence.
With widening and refining of our cognition we accept the universe as it is. There is
no fear. We study external influences, in every moment conscious that we can change
our response to given energies and decide when to act – not every time is suitable for
every action. Astrology enhances our life creativity, because with its help we choose
the best time to start the actions and projects and avoid unsuitable influences. We
avoid disappointments in relationships, because we can better understand them and
creatively take part in them.
Knowing astrological systems developed in different cultures during history,
astrologer acquires additional clarity, and ability to discern lots of controversies and
irrationalities, which burdened astrological practice. Consciousness width is basis of
high-quality interpretation and living; challenge in XXI century is to question past and
develop old skill in accordance to new scientific and contemporary ideas.
