Charts & Consultations

Astrology and astronomy developed together through time. Indeed, it may be said that the sky was one of our first teachers. The rising and setting of the sun established the measurement of our day, and its return to the same place in the sky, our year. The moon taught us about the tides, and the study of the ever-changing phases of the moon taught
us when to plant and harvest our crops, when to begin new projects, and when the best time would be to end them.

As mythologies developed around the world, the planets, stars, and constellations, because of their observed qualities, took on the roles of gods and goddesses, and the days of the week were named to honor them. Sunday is still the sun’s day. Monday is the day that honors the moon. Tuesday (Mardi in French and martes in Spanish) belongs to Mars, Wednesday (Mercredi, miercoles) to Mercury, and Thursday (Jeudi, jueves) to Jupiter [By Jove! is an old expression, which means "By Jupiter!"] Friday, coming to us from the German Freitag, which names their Goddess of Love, belongs  to Venus and Saturday belongs to Saturn, the last planet visible to the naked eye.

Someone somewhere, perhaps even earlier than in Chaldea, began to note the positions of the planets and stars at the time of a child’s birth and saw how those qualities played out in his or her life. The locations of twelve constellations divided the sky into twelve sections, and each  was assigned an area of life. At last, the sky, at any given moment, such as at birth or at the moment of death, could be drawn.

As human consciousness has grown and the tools of astronomy have advanced, so has astrology.  Uranus was discovered in 1781. Unexpected changes in its orbit led astronomers to deduce that another heavenly body’s gravitational pull was the cause. That heavenly body, Neptune, was discovered in 1846. The last outer planet, Pluto, was not discovered until 1930, at the start of the nuclear age and the creation of Plutonium.

Meanwhile, the first asteroid we were able to perceive and study was discovered in 1801 and was given the number 1 and the name Ceres, after the Earth goddess, from which we get the word "cereal." By the time Chiron was discovered in 1977, the astronomers were up to minor planet 2,060. Today the catalogue goes past 150,000, and birth maps are called natal charts. It's also true that you don’t have to be a great queen, emperor, or general to seek out the services of an astrologer.
