Astrology

Is there a problem?? The art/science of astrology can be viewed in many ways -- here are my favorites.

It's a bit like forecasting the weather, letting you know what kind of energy you'll meet when you get out of bed in the morning. It's like some kind of cosmic ecology, where the ecosystem is extended to include the entire solar system and some of the animals are the size of planets. It's a language of energy, cycles, and growth. Mainly, though, I think of Astrology as the relationship between the Geometry of the Heavens and Life here on Earth.

Here's my take on what's happening in our ecosystem lately.
