astronomy

Could it be that we are governed by the law of the stars? Long before the birth of today’s most respected and highly revered sciences, astronomy filled the minds of the ancient sages. They have marveled at, and were awed by, the vastness of the galaxies. They have sought connections among the planets, the stars; and the comets that are seemingly in an eternal search for their place in the vastness and void that surround them.
Despite the mysticism that surrounds the discipline, early scholars conducted their studies with painstaking scientific methods. Years of study were spared just to arrive at a single statement that will help explain the laws that govern the universe and human fate. This is why this field has gained respect among scholars in parallel and opposite fields. Ancient as it is, astronomy is a science that never grows old. Each new discovery, each new phenomenon adds more marvel to this already interesting field. Discoveries and rediscoveries are made that awaken man’s natural desire to go into the unknown and reveal the light that looms in the darkness. This field is so highly respected and esteemed by scientists and laymen that many sciences today are structured on astronomy.
Astrology owes its basic principles to this field of scientific study and accuracy. One of the most remarkable offspring of astrology is the horoscope – the chart that has ancient and mystic origin can, as held by ancient mystics, map out human fate. Ancient wisdom holds that the alignment of the planets, the movement of the moon, and the position of the Sun could determine forthcoming events. Ancient people prepare for disasters, wars, strife, and other calamities with the aid of the chart of human destiny. A Horoscope is not only utilised by western sages. It can also be found in the East, especially in China. The ancient Chinese sages construct charts and interpret the alignment of celestial bodies using the obscure wisdom they hold.
This does not only mean that ancient sages are mere soothsayers. They have also reached an ascendant state. They have gone beyond the ordinary perceptions and actions of common men. They have reached higher spiritual insights and more profound understanding of human destiny. As they go deeper into their studies and practices, they climb higher into the ascendant state. They do not only have greater comprehension and deeper perceptions, they have also reached a state of perfect inner calmness. The spiritual heights that they have reached place them on the pedestal of human understanding.
