Astrology, researching the Destiny of your Life. If
astrology is a tightrope walk between religion and
scientific astronomy, then we already have a first
definition. First of all: insofar as it views cosmos,
humans, and nature as being reigned over and guided by
powers and forces from beyond, astrology is religion.
All the events in the cosmos and on earth are linked
together by an invisible magic bond. Only on the basis
of this mysterious magical connection can astrology
assume that the stars have something to do with the
course of
 our lives, with our talents and weaknesses.
In this regard, astrology is related to the nature
religions. These also assume that nature is inhabited
and governed by magical powers, demons, and gods. Like
the nature religions, astrology believes in a multitude
of gods; it is polytheistic at its core. Each planet and
sign of the zodiac is the expression of a particular god
or demon. But astrology is also sometimes accepted by
religions which know only one creator-god, like Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. Then the many star-gods become
angels and demons which are subordinated to the one God
and, as such, understood as "instruments" of God.
But in its scientific side, astrology is also very
sober. It divides the heavens into geometrically exact
sectors, calculates—like every astronomer—the orbits of
the planets, and employs complicated calculations to
obtain from the
 manifold movements of the earth and the
heavenly bodies the horoscope. The word horoscope goes
back to the Greek and means roughly: "looking into the hour." By this it is meant that the astrologer, in
accordance with the exact time a person is born,
observes the heavens and calculates all the planets, as
well as the sign of the zodiac rising over the eastern
horizon—which is then identified as "ascendant." He then
prepares a chart which indicates the astronomically
exact positions of the stars in relation to the place of
birth.
Astrology is thus also quite simply astronomy, or
better: its religious understanding of the cosmos is
based on exact scientific calculations.
