Confused About Planets?
Astronomers are passing through some fast moving changes and discoveries, many of which have resulted in some confusion for astrologers who adhere to a a slow moving traditional science based upon a certain number of identified planetary bodies. Although there has always been acceptance of the possibility of new discoveries through the wonderfully advancing science of astronomical technology, the planets identified and researched have remained for some time as stable as far as astrology is concerned.
As the newer planets-Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered, the essential research to confirm their influence upon the Earth and upon us as its inhabitants, intensified and is firmly recorded in astrological data.
Astrology – The Science
Astrology is the twin science of astronomy. The two functioned in association for centuries in both observation and interpretation of celestial influences and how these affect all life on earth, but human beings in particular. It was common that one who studied the heavens was both astronomer and astrologer.
Although it was once considered logical to approach both the exploration of physical heavenly bodies in our skies through astronomy, as well as observing the affect they have upon man’s psyche, through astrology, there has developed an unfortunate separation of the sciences. No longer is it generally accepted that they are complementary sciences, offering information that would allow us to not only perceive the heavens, but to understand the influences of the planets and our human relationship to the whole.
