The moon holds a very powerful and special place in our daily
lives. More than any other planet, the moon holds sway over
our daily ups and downs. The ebb and flow of the tides are
just a small part of its role. Our daily emotions are
governed by the moon and every few days it transits into a new
sign and house. It is the astrological ruler of the sign
Cancer and plays the role of the mother on the universal stage.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
Thinking about the world through the eyes of an astrologer, I
offer some simple thoughts about the relevance of the stars in
your life.
Just as the moon's energy pushes and pulls our oceans, so do
the other planets have an influence in our lives. Although
astrology is often seen as an intangible science, the simple
fact remains that it is incredibly accurate; so much so, that
some of the greatest scientific minds in the history of
humanity have vouched for its efficacy.
Astrology and psychology are more closely related that you may
realize. Psychologist Carl Jung was the first person to
address this connection. The chart to the below illustrates
how Jung saw how the two areas of study related to each other.
There is far more here than meets the eye. Much has been
studied about these two topics.
"As above, so below; as within, so without;
as the Universe, so the soul."
-- Hermes Trismegistus --
The degree to which we can understand and accept astrology
depends upon our ability to think with an open mind. A broad
acceptance of the intangible allows us to glean the wisdom of
centuries of observation.
There is power in knowledge and knowledge fills an open mind.
