CAN ASTROLOGY HELP PSYCHOLOGY?

Astrology it is an ancient science whose name derives from the ancient Greek ἀστρολογία (astrologhía = aster / astròs [star] + logia [speech]) and is based on the study of celestial phenomena in relation to terrestrial ones, as well as the study of the person/individual, of the group, of the event.

So, can astrology be useful in understanding human psychology?

If we start from the assumption that through Astrology it is possible to understand the deepest aspects of an individual's personality, we can say yes.

In psychology, personality refers to all the psychological characteristics and behavioral patterns (inclinations, interests, passions) that define the core of individual differences, in the multiplicity of contexts in which human behavior develops.

Astrology is also defined as “the Science of Life” and, although there are no scientific sources attesting to the year of its birth (and it would be almost impossible), it is the oldest science ever.

The oldest texts dealing with astronomy and medicine are the Vedas, but the origins of Astrology are even more remote, since they write that knowledge was delivered directly by the creator God Brahma to a few wise men (Rishi) who would distribute it in direct succession to their disciples and in its purity it would be passed down orally for generations and generations.

The word Veda derives from the root Vid-, meaning to see, to see, to see, to clairvoyance. In ancient times, during the Golden Age, the wisest human beings were probably able to know reality directly and instantaneously using the information present in the morphogenetic field. Perhaps they communicated with each other through the transmission of thoughts through the ether. It is said that universal wisdom was stored in a large archive known as the "Akasha Records," which could be accessed through the astral body.

With the advent of the current dark age (Kaliyuga) and the decline of sages and seers, at a certain point men were no longer able to open themselves to direct knowledge of reality and, in order not to forget, it became necessary to learn to write, to read, to have books in which to record knowledge and so, about 5000 years ago, all the knowledge of humanity was transposed into the Vedas.

Unfortunately, it seems that only a minimal part of the ancient knowledge has reached us intact and we can only console ourselves with the thought that it has not been completely destroyed, as happened in the past with the various fires of the Library of Alexandria at the hands of various Roman, Christian and Muslim conquerors.

This highlights the importance of perceiving reality directly, phenomenologically, and, through the experience that comes from studying the symbols inscribed within the Astral Chart, of guiding those who need support in realizing their projects to find the most suitable solutions to make them happy.

This is the most important task that astrology has today, in a time when the compass has been lost and the vast majority of people live in a state of bewilderment/confusion from which they cannot escape.

Studying the depths of a person will remind them of the most important things in their lives, and how to find the most appropriate way to resolve their problems, whether small or large, from a general and in-depth perspective.

Paramahansa Yogananda , in his famous 1947 book Autobiography of a Yogi, narrates that his spiritual master, Swami Sri Yukteswar, a famous astrologer, used to say: “A child is born on the day and at the hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma. His birth chart is an authentic portrait of his unalterable past and probable future. But this birth certificate can be interpreted only by men of great wisdom and insight; and these are few.”
