Now, let me ask you a question. Have you ever looked up at the moon and stars and in the stillness of the night felt the wonder, the power and perhaps even the pulse of our amazing universe? All those beautiful, twinkling little stars whispering their songs from so very far away. With apologies to Barnum and Bailey, it is not the circus but the night sky above that is truly the “greatest show on earth.”  We can feel the music of the stars deep within our souls because this universe is just as much a part of our being as we are a part of its existence. Intimately interconnected with every facet of our cozy little corner of the cosmos, we are each aware of and respond to its natural rhythms, rhythms that are being creating by the planets as they orbit the Sun. We are sensitive to these changes in our celestial environment and spend a surprising amount of time and energy reacting to them. In fact, if we weren’t all so busy trying to synchronize our lives with the natural rhythms of the stars above astrologers wouldn’t be able to make the kinds of profoundly precise predictions that we are credited with.  But we can and we do - every single day.
The astrology we practice today comes to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans who learned it from the Babylonians and others in the Middle East.  Astrology’s most ancient discernible origins seem to have originated in an area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers known as Mesopotamia more than seven thousand years ago. These were an enlightened and educated people who left thousands of clay tablets speaking of the world in which they lived. Over seventy of those tablets refer to astrology. They say such things as, “When Jupiter stands in front of Mars a great army will be slain” and “When Leo is dark, the heart of the land will not be happy.” It seems that even thousands of years ago the writers of doom and gloom were busy making a living in Mesopotamia. Looking at today’s headlines it is painfully evident that things haven’t changed a great deal in seven thousand years.
