Astrology : India Astrology Point

Astrology is as old as mankind. Since humans treaded the earth, man looked up to the sky. In the beginning man worshipped the sun, moon and stars, the bringers of light moved by the Gods. By and by through observation man noted the correlation between the changes of sun, moon, stars and the events on earth. This means the first astrologers were walking the earth at least 33000 years ago! As animal life was concerned the moon was their focus, they observed the sun when more dependent on the flora. Nomads and seamen both used the position of the stars for the purpose of navigation.

One of the basic drives in human nature is the search for order. The night sky where all events are regular and predictable revealed this order to man. Because science is based on predictability one can state that astrology is the mother of all sciences and in fact of civilization. Astrology was the first and most universal attempt of man to find a hidden harmony behind the confusing chaos of the physical and psychological wilderness. Astronomy is the science of observation; astrology relates these observations to events and human experience. In the past however no clear-cut division between astronomy and astrology existed. Astrology was first used to predict and explain large-scale events. Astrology was interwoven with religion and power. For the old Egyptians the brightest stars were the souls of the dead pharao's sailing in their ships in the Milky-Way heading for their final resting place. The old Greeks read a whole mythology in the stars, complete with intrigues and love stories of their gods. A legend says the first Chinese emperors were created by meteors that fell from the sky and impregnated women.

We at astroquest believe that in these times, torn apart by conflicts and the passion for analysis and differentiation at any price, astrology can be the new language. A technique to understand the meaning of experience as a whole, physical and psychological experiences, body and soul, the collective and individual.
