Most people associate astrology with the zodiac, but it's planetary motion that gives meaning to the signs. Planets are the alphabet of energy and the engine of mind & matter - knowledge fundamental to all. And it's as easy to learn as phonics and simple math, two other perfect, logical systems humanity depends on for its highest evolution.
[sun & moon are called planets for brevity]
"The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern
of the stars at the moment it comes into the world."
~ Johannes Kepler, Harmonics Mundi
'The first science' goes back many millennia, known as astrology or astrologos, Latin for star logic. Celestial movements were calculated for thousands of years and connections to life on Earth were observed and recorded and remain relevant to this day. In recent centuries astronomy was born, the study of the celestial bodies, devoid of relevance to life on Earth. This became the sole purview of astrology, while science aligned with religion to make it a focus of scorn.
Many minds throughout the ages have studied and utilized astrology. Here are just a few...
Louis Pasteur...
"The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements, in a relation with the motions of the universe."
Hippocrates...
"A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician."
Confucius...
"Heaven sends down its good and evil symbols and wise men act accordingly."
Pythagoras...
"The stars in the heavens sing a music if only we had ears to hear."
Aristotle...
"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."
Ralph Waldo Emerson...
"Astrology is astronomy brought down to Earth and applied toward the affairs of men."
Nikola Tesla...
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."
Claudius Ptolemy...
"It is clearly evident that most events of a widespread nature draw their causes from the enveloping heavens."
Theodore Roosevelt...
"I always keep my weather eye on the opposition of my seventh house Moon to my first house Mars."
J.P. Morgan...
"Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire you need an astrologer."
Dr Carl G. Jung...
"The fact that it is possible to construct, in adequate fashion, a person's character from the data of his nativity, shows the validity of astrology."
And believe it or not, Dr. Jung, the 'Father of Analytical Psychology', based his theory and practice on planetary principles. It's true! Though he limited his cosmological views to his patients and other open minds, avoiding the academic ridicule of astrology that persists to this day.
.......
So most Jungian analysts have little to no knowledge of astrology and take weeks and months to gain insights they could gain in an hour by analyzing a client's birth chart. And academia's 'knowledge filter' is to blame, thwarting the evolution Dr. Jung envisioned and strived for.
Dr. Carl G. Jung:
"Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity."
Not yet...
But even incomplete, his theory of consciousness guides and enlightens us. Thanks to Dr. Jung, we know the mind is like the ocean, with unfathomable depths many seek to understand. And most of us chart our course without a birth chart for guidance, but we're all free to seek and learn without academic prejudice, so I hope a brief overview of this vast and infinite science ignites your curiosity.
So, for starters...
A Brief Celestial Overview of Jung's 3 Levels of Consciousness
his conscious, unconscious & collective unconscious are shortened for brevity to..
THE CONSCIOUS MIND:
sun ~ moon ~ mercury ~ venus ~ mars
The conscious mind is our direct experience of life. It's the surface story of everything, our thoughts, actions, desires, dreams, aspirations, hopes, fears, the truths we seek, the challenges we face and our interactions and relationships with others through time. And it's unsettling to imagine, but it's believed mosts minds are only 5-10% conscious! So thank you, Dr. Jung, fo making us aware of the deeper levels of consciousness, the first step to exploring them.
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND:
jupiter ~ saturn
The subconscious mind is essentially irrational. It records and stores without analysis or judgement everything we've experienced from birth. And though much is consciously forgotten, our stored memories program our conscious perceptions and lay tracks over time that expand [faith] or contract [fear] our perceptions and actions through life. Astrologer Sloan Bella puts it this way... "Release your childhood trauma or you'll marry it." So move beyond the 'survival mode' of forgotten painful experience so your past won't program your future and you can center yourself in the 'generous present moment'.
THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND:
uranus ~ neptune ~ pluto
The unconscious mind is Purpose with a Capital P. It's the still, ageless inner voice that sees and knows all and its divine goal of creative growth. Unfazed by daily life, it observes your journey with unwavering wisdom and when unheard or unheeded by the conscious mind it still works its magic, often disguised as painful experience and guided by your Eternal Spirit. Th unconscious is aligned with the Creator and free will rules, so it may decide when it's finally time to end your journey.
"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born." ~ Dr. Carl G. Jung
With your first breath you're imprinted with the celestial frequencies of that moment in time - your electromagnetic DNA. Breath ~ prana ~ mana ~ qi anchors your eternal spirit in this time & space.
A brief digession...
So isn't it weird that the literal breath of life is being absurdly depicted as a deadly gas? Is that how far we've drifted from our soul's evolution [and towards techno-enslavement?] We should always Question Authority, which always expands its power when we don't, and then what? Baffling bullshit can sound like dazzling brilliance when Authority seeks more power. And the magnificent Sun governs climate, not cow farts, but that's just common sense. 'Zero Carbon' literally equals DEATH and sounds like mockery to me: 'If you're that dumb you deserve to be fleeced'? FACT: demonizing C02 leads to ABSOLUTE POWER over humanity. Sorry to be a bummer, but it should be stated repeatedly like all big truths or big lies rule.
GOM is the Tibetan word for meditation that means 'to become familiar with oneself' and proper breathing is key, if you want to become super-natural. And a birth chart is the users manual of the soul to guide you; and you only need to know 3 astrological essentials to read it:
Imagine your mind is a melody. . .
PLANETS are the notes
ASPECTS are their arrangements
SIGNS are the instruments
A perfect system that creates infinite melodies.
In celestial terms...
Planets generate the frequencies that embody every soul/psyche/mind;
Aspects are conduits that connect, blend and modify the frequencies;
Signs are the prism of elemental archetypes that color the frequencies.
Astrology is a simple, profound system grounded in logic & mathematics. it literally means star logic and like math, you can learn the essentials and do just fine, or keep exploring, deep into the woo-woo realms.
A birth chart is the functional map of your electromagnetic DNA, imprinted on your soul at the moment of the first breath. Yet only astrologers can read a birth chart, so I designed one anyone can read; a BirthPrint™ vibrantly displays the 3 essentials, Planets, Aspects & Signs, and comes alive with meaning for all.
birth chart ...................................... birthprint™
The 10 Planets, 6 Aspects & 12 Signs are the 28 letters of the soul. Once committed to memory, like a five year old learns the alphabet, you can begin to sound out any BirthPrint™ like an open book.
Planetary frequencies are the building blocks of mind & matter and everything under the sun.
SUN: will ~ purpose ~ ego
MOON: emotion ~ intuition ~ instinct
MERCURY: intellect ~ reasoning ~ communication
VENUS: magnetism ~ desire ~ creative/procreative drive
MARS: assertion ~ will ~ physical/sexual drive
conscious frequencies
JUPITER: aspiration ~ faith ~ expansive
SATURN: ambition ~ discipline ~ contractive
subconscious frequencies
URANUS: deepers/higher intellect ~ ingenuity ~ evolution
NEPTUNE: deeper/higher desire ~ creativity ~ inspiration
PLUTO: deeper/higher will ~ regeneration ~ transformation
unconscious frequencies
PLANETARY CONDUITS
Aspects connect, blend and modify the planetary frequencies at specific degrees of distance. The best-known aspect is the opposition;180°, though everyone knows it as the Full Moon and many anticipate its polarizing monthly influence.
.
THE 6 PRIMARY ASPECTS:
CONJUNCTION: 0°: integrating; strengthening
SEXTILE: 60°: facilitating; balancing
SQUARE: 90°: frictional; challenging
TRINE:120°: harmonizing; mellowing
QUINCUNX: 150°: driving; frustrating
OPPOSITION: 180°: polarizing; unbalancing
[0°-9° orbs of influence]
PLANETARY COLORATION
The zodiac is a prism of elemental archetypes that color the planetary frequencies with ELEMENTS, MODALITIES & POLARITIES...
ELEMENTS: fire ~ earth ~ air ~ water
assertive ~ grounded ~ intellectual ~ emotional;
MODALITIES: cardinal ~ fixed ~ mutable
active ~ focused ~ adaptable;
POLARITIES: yin/yang ~ female/male ~ negative/positive
take your pick
ARIES;yang: impulsive ~ headstrong ~ independent [cardinal fire]
TAURUS;yin: nurturing ~ sensual ~ loyal [fixed earth]
GEMINI;yang: communicative ~ mercurial ~ highstrung [mutable air]
CANCER;yin: sensitive ~ moody ~ nurturing [cardinal water]
LEO;yang: strong-willed ~ creative ~ affectionate [fixed fire]
VIRGO;yin: analytical ~ practical ~ hard-working [mutable earth]
LIBRA;yang: artistic ~ idealistic ~ charming [cardinal air]

SIGNS: Elemental color that infuses the frequencies
* integrative, facilitative, challenging, harmonious, driving or polarizing
BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS:
PLANETS: Psycheological frequencies of each individual
ASPECTS: Conduits that connect & modify their frequencies*
SIGNS: Elemental color chemistry of their frequencies*

* integrative, facilitative, challenging, harmonious, driving or polarizing
"To understand correctly the meaning of the words Alchemy and Astrology, it is necessary to understand and to realize the intimate relationship and identity of the Microcosm and Macrocosm, and their mutual interaction." ~ Paracelsus
"I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." ~ Max Planck
Over 100 years ago, quantum scientist Niels Bohr who was born into a family of scientists, translated the ancient Vedas into the language of quantum physics and determined that the atom & solar system share the same form. So what about their function?
----
------
The atom functions as nature's building block and as all wise astrologers know, so does the solar system. So did Dr. Bohr validate astrology? Not according to today's establishment scientists, who insist the atom & solar system are like, totally different, so just fuggetaboutit.
Dr. Bohr is no longer here to argue the point, but we're all free to contemplate the infinite. Trailblazer Bohr was firmly aligned with ancient cosmology and led the way to defining reality as non-physical, a kind of collective, holographic dream... "Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real."
row row row your boat. . .
And it's worth mentioning that Dr. Bohr and Dr. Einstein sometimes wandered the woo-woo realms together... "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man..." ~ Albert Einstein
So even Einstein challenged the establishment paradigm sometimes.
And funny cigarettes may have been a factor
Astrologers and quantum physicists share one fundamental belief: Everything is energy. Astrologers have known this for eons and today's scientists finally caught up sort of. Their 'theory of everything' is comprised of Four Fundamental Forces: gravity, strong force, weak force & electromagnetism.
They function as follows sort of...
Gravity
is the most celebrated of the fab four and gets most of the attention, but it has a shallow reach and sometimes it's a drag.
Strong Force & Weak Force
toil obscurely to hold the manifest world together, without them there'd be no way to let it Be.
But the real star of the fab four is
E L E C T R O M A G N E T I S M.
It goes on and on across the universe, possessing and caressing us in an infinite, super-charged embrace.
And the human brain is the ultimate transmitter & receiver of it all. And through a still-mysterious process we, as in our eternal spirits, surf the waves of time & space for the perfect fit, pregnant with possibilities that manifest through directed will.
And to clarify soul vs spirit, the soul/psyche/mind is the embodiment of spirit in time & space and exists eternally in the infinite. Cool, right?
"Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance." ~ Nikola Tesla
And now for something completely different?
The heavens bespeak the glory of the Lord and the vault of heaven reveals His handiwork." ~ Genesis
Why was Jesus really silenced? How many know he traveled to India and learned and taught cosmology and reincarnation - that we have free will to co-create the world we continually inherit until we get it right? Or that Original Sin was concocted by Constantine to control our souls with fear? Only small minds want control, the Creator just Creates. And if you have to anthropomorphize, 'He' surely operates through Benign Neglect.
Maybe one day scientists, shrinks & preachers will come to know what astrologers have known for countless ages, that there is an instruction manual for the soul, courtesy of the Creator. We just need to look UP.
Now a quick word from...
: 
The Galaxy Being aired in September 1963, the first episode of the Outer Limits, one of a handful of early, mind-expanding tv shows that put our spiritual evolution on the fast track, but we can't have that, now can we?
In 1901 in an ancient shipwreck off the coast of Antikythera, Greece, explorers found the bronze remains of the world's first known computer. Established after decades of reverse-engineering, it was determined to precisely calculate astrological cycles, over 2000 years ago! Thus, the magnificent Antikytheran Mechanism has turned official history on its head!
Still waiting...
Does humanity rise and fall again & again as every eternal spirits grows towards some unknown destination? Is time the template for the soul's many lives and do we inherit the world we helped create? And what's ahead for the Aquarian Age?

   I've been an astrologer in my home state of Massachusetts for over forty years. My journey began at 13 when my big sister Anne brought home Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, a godsend for every clueless teenager, so insightful and entertaining I carried it everywhere and read to anyone who indulged me. Sun Signs hit the NYT bestseller list and ignited the Aquarian 'New Age' and the one question everyone can answer: "What's your sign?" I'm ly grateful to Linda Goodman for lighting my path and I swear I didn't marry a Goodman for his name. So the early 70s were an exciting time, with great astrologers like Isabel Hickey and Oscar Weber just bus stops away, so Anne and I attended lectures every chance we got. Then in 1974, astrologer Paul Guercio moved to our town from New York and held cozy, casual classes, on throw pillows,so off we went to expand our minds within walking distance.   In the early 80s Anne went off to make babies and I mentored with Paul for five years, which became a lifelong friendship. In the late 80s I went off to make babies and Paul collaborated with physicist George Hart on a programmed forecasting tool called TimeTraks.. As The Merlin Project they made political forecasts on tv & radio for over 20 years. In 2019 Paul sadly passed, Dr. Hart moved on and TimeTraks is no more. Paul gifted the world with insight, provocative podcasts, a good book and solid advice to keep it simple. So in 1994 I designed the FutureGraph™ & BirthPrint™ to make astrology simple and accessible to all. Thank you for visiting. I hope you find what you're looking for.

"Without astrology man treads, as it were, in the dim twilight of ignorance." ~ Luke Dennis Broughton, The Elements of Astrology
"We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with." ~ D.H. Lawrence
"Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?" ~ Sir Walter Scott
Astrology compels the soul to look upward and leads us from this world to another." ~ Plato
"These auspicious aspects, which the astrologers subsequently interpreted for me, may have been the causes of my preservation." ~ Goethe
"The question of all questions for humanity, the problem which lies behind all others and is more interesting than any of them, is that of the determination of man's place in nature and his relation to the cosmos." ~ T.H. Huxley
"Men should take their knowledge from the Sun, the Moon and the Stars." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the sea of life." ~ Varahamihira
"A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma." ~ Sri Yukteswar Giri
"We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment." ~ Johannes Kepler
"A mind is accustomed to mathematical deduction, when confronted with the faulty foundations of astrology, resists a long, long time, like an obstinate mule, until compelled by beating and curses to put its foot into that dirty puddle." ~ Johannes Kepler [fear of mockery?]
"Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer." ~ Benjamin Franklin as Richard Saunders [disputed]
"The value of astrology. . .is not its power to predict what the gods have in store for humans, but its ability to reveal the god-like powers that reside in the depths of every human being." ~ Glenn Perry, Ph.D.
"We are merely the stars' tennis-balls, struck and banded which way please them." ~ John Webster
"Practices do not persist for thousands of years, and in diverse cultures, without results. ~ Lawrence Spector, NY Assistant Professor of Mathematics, on astrology
"An Astronomer who denies Astrology, is like a butcher who recognizes the brain but is unaware of its transmission of waves." ~ Ahmed Hulusia, From Friend to Friend
"The Vegetative Universe, opens like a flower from the Earths center In which is Eternity. It expands from Stars to the Mundane Shell. And there it meets Eternity again, both within and without." ~ William Blake
"It's my view that those who use simplistic models to disprove astrology are violating the principles of the philosophy of science. Any number of theories may be shown not to work, but to say it follows that no theory of astrology can work is just bad science. It totally rules out scientific method. So, I came to the conclusion that they were totally unscientific - a form of rationalized bigotry cloaked in academic language." - Percy Seymour
"If you look at this solar system, it is a machine that is designed to create life on this particular planet, and to preserve it over long periods of time to allow development." ~ Whitley Strieber
"Astrology interested us, for it tied men to the system. Instead of an isolated beggar, the farthest star felt him and he felt the star. However rash and however falsified by pretenders and traders in it, the hint was true and divine, the soul's avowal of its large relations and that climate, century, remote natures as well as near, are part of its biography." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"That we can now think of no mechanism for astrology is relevant but unconvincing. No mechanism was known, for example, for continental drift when it was proposed by Wegener. Nevertheless, we see that Wegener was right, and those who objected on the grounds of unavailable mechanism were wrong." ~ Carl Sagan
"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves; we are underlings." ~ William Shakespeare
"There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the sea of life." ~ Varahamihira
"A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma." ~ Sri Yukteswar Giri
"I find my zenith doth depend upon A most auspicious star, whose influence If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes Will ever after droop." ~ William Shakespeare
"The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today..." ~ Linda Goodman
"All of us are truly and literally a little bit of stardust." ~ William Fowler
"I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream." ~ Vincent Van Gogh
"The word science means knowledge from a latin root. Nescience is the opposite of knowledge, or ignorance. Modern science began with a theological concept, that God is a mathematician and the language of God is Geometry [but] it's been taken over by persons of demonic mentality as the vehicle for presenting the philosophy of atheism." ~ Dr. Richard L. Thompson, author of Forbidden Archaeology
"The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.
The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins.
The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever.
Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus?
But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time."
~ D.H. Lawrence
