Astrology and its Dynamics

Astrology is derived from the Greek words of Astro and Logos. Astro means celestial body and Logos means logic, and philosophically, “the plan”. The Greek word for Astrology is thus Astrologos. The “gy” is the suffix Greeks used in the names of all the mathematical and statistical sciences.

Astrology is a discipline that enriches the traditional time tables with mythological symbols and studies certain effects on human life under the guidance of mathematical and statistical data. If you are searching for the meaning of Astrology, know that your search begins where you stand now. If you ask yourself who you really are a path to understanding Astrology will open up before you.

Some make the Aries Sign a reference point by placing it on the Ascendant with the equinox. However, the real significance of Aries is in fact deep within individuals. Is it hidden? Not really. At least, not hidden intentionally but overlooked easily.

So, where do we start in order to unearth it? The best point to start is the day we began our lives because Astrology is the science of time. As a messenger of a world in which you are at the centre, Astrology can almost immediately begin to tell you about at which link of the chain you exist.

The Signs pursue the equations deep within the human soul. Astrology studies the dynamics behind all that is apparent. These dynamics exist in reality and can be perceived and determined.

Just like the DNA followed its rules even though people were completely ignorant of its existence for thousands of years and began providing hints on many questions after its discovery, Astrology whispers individuals its mystery when looked at closely. No matter you take it into your consideration or not, its cycles go on and on. A society’s being ignorant of its existence doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or isn’t valid.

The time of birth is the time of the first breath. We take that moment when you inhale life as your moment of birth. When that moment is analyzed both Astronomically and Astrologically, the process of life becomes more meaningful and you begin to define who you are more clearly. Each moment is a miracle. Apart from the Earth, the Sun, Mercury etc. and the Milky Way Galaxy itself is moving as the time flows. Astrology, which takes the picture of a moment in the flow of time, begins to study the laws of the order in those pictures and charts.

To understand the four dimensional world of Astrology hidden behind the animal symbol sequence in a two dimensional circle, one can begin by analyzing the point he stands now. Where do you stand? Certainly at a 30-degree sector that is your Sign.

You share that place with many others but none of them are the same as you are. Even if they are born from the same mother, they still cannot be you. Even if the mother gives birth to twins, The Earth spins around its axis and rotates with the Sun around the Milky Way galactic center during the time difference of seconds between their births. Meanwhile, the planets continue with their progress in the sky as well.

Let’s return back to our 12 times 30-degree sectors. All of us are within one of them. For the time being, let us give them their familiar names: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

All of these sectors have certain characteristics that give time its qualities. These characteristics also manifest themselves in humans, events, social changes and nature.

The mechanism behind all these is formed by the seasonal cycles. The climate changes generally accepted as four seasons are in fact the four stops of the Earth on its journey around the Sun and the specific stages between them. All these stages include 3 sub-stages and add up to 12 stages in total, which are what we now call the Signs. The month of your birth bears the special quality of the season and hides mysteries of certain stages of mankind’s span of existence.

We change as the stages of time and their quality change. There is always a special influence that manifests itself at the moment of birth. Astrology studies these influences and all the cycles pertaining to them.
