Astrology literally means "the Science of the Stars", from the Greek astrologia: astron
(constellation; star) and logia (study of; ordering principle; utterance). It contains both the idea of an organised body of knowledge of the cosmos, along with the way the stars "speak" to us, or give meaning to our lives. A person who practices astrology is called an astrologer. A very ancient, but still vital discipline, astrology seeks the meaning and application of the influences of the planets, stars and other celestial phenomena in our lives. Astrology and astronomy have in modern times become separate studies, though for most of human history they were two sides of the same coin Exploring ourselves, our relationships and our place within the world, astrology has found that the symbolic relationships between the heavenly bodies are
Astrology is one of the great adventures of human civilization and has contributed greatly to people’s lives and to our culture over time. Astrology’s
purpose is to use the positions of the planets and stars in the sky to gather information on the individual and on humanity. Astrology is a system that enables us to understand the past, present and the future within a universe full of meaning.

Mayan astrology is very front and center at the moment with the emphasis on 2012 in the main stream media. The Mayans had a very complicated and precise way of measuring the movement of the stars through the heavens, and believed as a culture that all things were govened by their transit across the skies. Pyramids also played a large part in their physical life, like the Egyptians astrology and astronomy were one subject.

Many modern people dismiss the idea that the stars have any affect on our experiences here on earth, but every newspaper has a horoscope section, and most people when asked will know their sign.

Individuals born under the Earth signs; Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus, are said to be
grounded. They really enjoy the physicality of the world, it’s food, sex, money and structures. They often collect objects and their houses are often full of possessions. This love of the physical can also lead them astray. They can become obsessed by the body, beauty and money to the point where
it causes a lack of balance in their lives and extreme suffering.

The exact origins of the twelve animal system remain unknown. However, legend has it that, once
upon a time, the Jade King was bored, having nothing to do in Heaven. He did not see what was happening on Earth, as he had servants attending to his every wish. He decided that he wanted to see the animals that inhabited the earth, so he sent word to his advisors to bring him twelve animals (which he considered a good sampling). The advisor first sent an invitation to the Rat, telling him to also bring the cat. The Rat's jealousy prevented the cat from actually receiving the invitation.Further invitations were sent to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog. Their presence was requested at the palace the following day. When they lined up in front of the king, he found that they numbered only eleven, instead of twelve as he had requested. The king
sent his servant down to Earth to retrieve a twelfth animal. The servant ran into a man carrying the Pig, and he hastily grabbed it and delivered it to the king. The animals stood in front of the king in no particular order. The Rat, being smaller than the rest, hopped on the Ox's back and proceeded to play the flute. The king was very impressed by this display. He gave the Rat first place. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so courageous. The Rabbit was given fourth place, the Dragon fifth, the Snake sixth, the Horse seventh, the Ram eighth, the Monkey ninth, the Rooster tenth and the Dog eleventh. By default, and due to the king's just nature, twelfth place went to the Pig. After the ceremony concluded, the cat (who missed the invitation) begged the king to reconsider, but was told it was too late.

The origins of modern astrology may well have begun in the fertile palins of Egypt, where religious practices emphasized the non - physical and spiritual realms. Astrology has long been used to help predict what, for humans, is a very unpredictable world.
According to Chinese astrology, a person's destiny can be determined by the position
of the major planets at the person's birth along with the positions of the Sun, Moon and comets and the person's
time of birth and Zodiac Sign.

The sketch left shows how almost all of the signifivant elements of the Great Pyramid are aligned to specific star constellations. It is almost impossible to dismiss the fact that the pyramids would have been highly symbolic to the astrological life of the ancient Egyptians. The exact methods and meanings of the pyramids have been a topic of hot discussion for over a century, when westerners first
travelled ther and became fascinated by their meaning, design and history. We still do not know exactly how they were built. All we know is that they connected the Egyptians to the stars in some way.
