ASTROLOGY

*Remember the Chinese Zodiac believes that “…a secret animal hides in our heart…” According to the principles of Roman astrology, each person is somehow endowed (gifted) with the attributes of at least one of the Roman astrological personalities.

Ptolemy viewed astrology as part of the philosophy that all of nature is absolute. The stars and planets were placed in their patterns as intentional messages for the observer.
