Intro to Astrology

Astrology has a longstanding tradition of careful observation of the planets over long periods of time, quite similar to methods applied in the social sciences. Ancient mystics knew that it’s easy to get disoriented when you aren’t tracking your data, your predictions, and the outcomes. It’s easy to lie. It’s important to hold yourself accountable for your predictions and your mistakes. Proper astrological study is recorded and accountable. Astrologers compare their work with other astrologers, and continuously dig deeper into their understanding.

Sang's view is that a good understanding of the root systems of astrology can actually be grounding. At its core, it’s about the patterns and powers that are at play in our lives. When you look at the astrological chart as a whole, with tried and trusted techniques in hand, you can unpack a lot of information that holds true. But we must always be careful to hold reality above our astrological interpretations, and adjust our understanding of astrology to match what is happening in reality. We do not want to demand that reality shapes itself to match our predictions.
