WHAT IS REAL WORLD ASTROLOGY?
Astrology is a symbolic system that uses the predictable cycles of the heavens to seek insights into the often confusing developments of human life. It is the view from 10,000 feet that orients us to what we already know about life and its most challenging, questions. An astrology for the real world marries modern discoveries about human psychology with proven timing and interpretive techniques that are thousands of years old. Using Modern Psychological and Traditional Hellenistic approaches, Real World Astrology pinpoints the needs that motivate us, identifies turning-point moments and key events, and suggests strategies for managing life's many challenges. The astrological consultation reveals our unique cycles of development, anticipating opportunities for growth and initiative in the months and years to come. Each is a collaborative discovery. A look deep into the wonder of life, and of our place in creation.
Remain true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge.
--Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
