Interpreting astrology

Astrology is the oldest of all the ancient sciences. It has been used throughout recorded history and in every civilisation and culture as a means of helping people understand the forces at work around them and within themselves. It enables a person to recognise that they are not an isolated being but an important, if small, part of that much larger being which is the very universe itself. This book focuses on traditional Western world astrology that has the Sun as the main point of reference. The interpretations are not dissimilar from the classical teachings used by the ancient Greeks although the three outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which were discovered in more recent centuries, are also included.
