Astrology is not just a subject; it's an activity. Consequently, you don't study it - you doit.

Astrology is an activity based on the principle of Unus Mundus - the Universe as Unity. Everything- from atom to galaxy - is rooted in the same universal and all-pervasive reality. And this realityreveals itself in the purposeful, ordered and meaningful processes of nature, as well as in thedeepest recesses of the human mind and spirit. 'As above - so below'. Anything happening in onepart of the system gets mirrored in a self-similar way everywhere else.Quantum Physics tells us that the very act of observing something changes it. And the ButterflyEffect of Chaos Theory shows how even the tiniest flap of a wing can eventually produce ahurricane. Upon examining my own life, I can see how the slightest shifts of direction have led medown some very divergent paths and presented me with infinitely strange and beautifulexperiences. But the most satisfying and successful of these experiences have come when I wasgoing with the flow of time and determinism.The Universe, being the accommodating creature that she is, will provide confirmation of almostany paradigm we adopt. Mental events (perception) and acts of free will carry with them pureinformation which is transmitted instantly throughout the material world. To this extent, we live inan observer-created reality. Something out there (the Great Organizing Dynamic, as some havecalled it) responds to what we believe about ourselves and our world. From this standpoint, youare a channel, a vehicle, an agency, an instrument, a representative. And your birth chart maybest be described as an output program - an indication of what should be flowing intomanifestation through you. Although I might speak of 'my' horoscope, in a very practical sense, itdoes not belong to me - rather I belong to it. As do all the other entities, animate and inanimate,that came into being at about the same time and place. Cosmic Powers, if indeed there are suchthings, appear to use me and what I have to offer, and not the other way 'round.You will not get the best out of your birth chart unless you become a go-between worthy of relaying the best. Concentrate first on construction and creativity, and use astrology to define thepossibilities as you go along. In the fractal logic of astrology, each planet, sign and house is a self-similar unity complete with its own rewards. For example, you may have transiting Jupiterconjunct your natal Sun. The usual interpretation of this aspect is one of increased vitality, luckand optimism. In reality however this may or may not happen, because the promise of a Jupiter-Sun contact cannot happen without the proper conditions first being in place. And only you canput them there. By adopting an out-going attitude, by exploring new dimensions, by playing withideas rather than holding rigidly to one static model, you put yourself into the Jupiter mode. Byopening up to the Universe in this way, you actually invite luck into your life, and create a positivefeedback loop of openness and optimism, which attracts more of the same. By way of confirmation, the information this report is based on is as follows:

The Luminaries: Sun and Moon

The state of the solar system at the time of your birth points to self-similar (fractal) qualitieswithin you. But of all the planets, the "lights" - the Sun and Moon - are thought to indicate themain polarity of your being. In psychology, this has been articulated in the concept of complementarity between the conscious and unconscious contents of the mind. The Sun and Moonact as positive and negative poles - an intentional, directing element (Sun), and a suggestible,receptive one (Moon). In a beneficial relationship, the emotional conditioning of the Moon is givena purposive and positive expression by the astrological Sun. This has been called 'intentionalliving'. Wherever we allow our consciousness (attention) to rest, that we vitalize.

The Astrological Sun

There is only one center to our solar system, and there is only one center to your psyche. The Sunis the great central powerhouse which illuminates us and shows us where we can get the mostfrom life by radiating all that our sun represents. In Jyotish, the astrology of the Hindus, the Sunis known as 'atma karaka', or soul indicator, signifying a person's confidence, authority and power- the ego center of the horoscope. The Sun is our central identity and 'true self', in that it istoward this more than anything that we should be moving and developing. Thus, it representsthat which we wish to become and those we look up to. It is also our essence, our bliss, and thatwhich we do for the sheer fun of it. The Sun is creativity, original flair, celebration and glory - thequality of output we tend to expect from heros and celebrities. But we are each capable of givingout more than we do - and I don't mean money. The Sun is about having a purpose large enoughto animate the whole of your life and going about it with a tone of appreciation and joie de vivre.Your Sun shows how and where you can shine.

Light your fire!

Sun in Aries

You are a born pioneer, always wanting to be first and never afraid to go it alone. Your sense of mission makes for impulsive, sometimes rash, but always brave actions. Aries is self-starting andmakes things happen through leadership. The Sun in this sign is decisive and dynamic, buildingforward momentum by taking deliberate action: 'Do the thing and you will have the power.' Yoursis the spirit of the moment, the new impulse, the directed effort. You operate best when you havemade a personal investment and are working purposefully toward a goal. Look for the challenge,the adventure, and for your chance to take charge and become the master of your circumstances.Aries is the sign of leaders and 'firsts'. It is impulsive, assertive and spontaneous. It tends to actfirst, only thinking about what it may have done later. Rushing in where others fear to tread, Ariesenergy is attention-getting and always provokes a response from the surroundings and fromothers. It loves decisive action and self-reliance.

Willingness to take advice, so Itis helpful to work with those in authority or those who are more experienced.

Sun Sesquiquadrate Moon

Torn between different directions in life with feelings going one way and willpower another. Asense of being caught in the middle - forced to choose between surroundings that are emotionallysupportive (but not progressive) and new directions that bring advancement but may be at theexpense of comfort.

It is helpful to see life not as 'black-white' or 'all-or-nothing', but as a complex sliding-scaleof varying shades and subtleties.

Sex drive is powerful andneeds outlet.

The Astrological Moon

The astrological Moon symbolises memory, memes and conditioning - the habitual, instinctive,unconscious side of our nature, and therefore the most predictible. Our interface with theenvironment - how we react to it - is best indicated by the Moon's position and the planets itaspects. Because it represents our upbringing and emotional background, the Moon denotes oursense of belonging and well-being (or not) and what we need in order to feel comfortable andcontent. But all too often the tendency is for the Moon to reflect back the frayed impressions of old hurts and vendettas, thereby wasting precious energy on painful and unproductive distractionsof the past. Clearly what is needed is a more aspiring attitude; one in which we are continuallybanging our cup and demanding that our needs be satisfied! What is your special hunger? Whatkind of stimulation do you need in order to feel good about yourself? True gratification can be hadonly by feeding your Moon. The Feast of the Present is spread out around you!

The Planets: Agents of the Cosmos

The planets of astrology are not just giant balls of rock and gas, but fractal reflections of thedifferent facets of reality - whole self-consistent categories of meaning. They reveal tendencieswhich are in a continual state of 'becoming'. But each individual is responsible for developing hisor her attributes and actively integrating the planets' detailed messages. Having had the broadqualities pointed out, you are free to work with or against the cosmic current. But you will onlybenefit from the universal self-organising process by intentionally and planfully improving onthose features as depicted in your birth chart. We only get where we're going by moving in theright direction. Destiny is a matter of Destination.
