The Astrology of Space
This astrologer can remember when cosmic food for
thought was still kind of rare and the use of the
astrological imagination had to be encouraged!
However, the deluge of fascinating astrophysical
information in the last few decades has had the effect
of curbing our imagination and even limiting our
inquiry to the simple available facts. At least at this
time in history, the facts are more inspiring than any
flight of the imagination or as it has been repeatedly
said: the facts are indeed "stranger than fiction."
In recent years, astrologers have turned from an ageold,
very-active state of receiving astronomical
information (essentially passive in nature) to a bold,
active inquiry into the nature of outer space, and thus
into ourselves and our "god" or awareness. It is
happening out there in space through astrophysical
discovery; it is happening down here within ourselves,
through depth psychology, the spread of many
spiritual "new age" disciplines, and what-have-you.
An astrological approach to the discoveries of modern
astrophysics is actually quite simple. In fact, it can be
reduced simply to a study of the life and death
struggle of stars and the various kinds of light they
produce. In fact it would seem that we can gaze on
life and death of stars more candidly than we dare to
examine our own!
With this in mind, let us examine here some of these
facts and the ideas or interpretations they seem to
generate or suggest. None of this interpretive
speculation is intended to be dogmatic. It is simply a
first attempt to arrange or order some of this new
material and get at least some sense of what it means
for the astrology of the future and the present time. In
fact, I will not offer too much by way of interpretation.
