Liz Greene Looking at Astrology “It may be that astrology has something to offer us today because it concerns itself with human values more than most other sciences. It can help us to understand that our lives have purpose. It may be that there is some truth in the ancient beliefs, and that we and the planets are all part of one unified cosmos. Knowing a little about astrology can help to open your eyes to many things, and the most important of them all is who you really are, deep down inside. And maybe that is what life is really about.”

Alan Leo (William Frederick Allan)Born 7 August 1860, 5.49 am, London ‘I believe the Soul of Humanity is immortal or perpetual... I believe every human being belongs to a Father Star in heaven...and I am convinced that every man derives his will power from a Planetary Sphere of Influence which he uses, or abuses, by which he can overcome evil tendencies and control his animal nature. Hence Astrology teaches that Character is Destiny.’

‘I believe... in an astrology of transformation... My approach is oriented to the possibility of developing in every person a steady eagerness for self-transformation and independence from the socio- cultural patterns of the past. On the belief that there is latent in every man and woman the power to be greater than they are, more creative, freer, yet more deeply committed to a process of world-transformation, Dane Rudhyar 23 March 1895, am, Paris

Dane Rudhyar I stand...Every person is a “celestial”, if only he gains the strength and has the courage to stand by the truth of his being and to fulfill his place and function on this earth by following the celestial “set of instructions” revealed by the sky.’

Alexander Ruperti ‘There is not one Astrology with a capital A. In each epoch, the astrology of the time was a reflection of the kind of order each culture saw in celestial motions, or the kind of relationship the culture formulated between heaven and earth.’
