Astrology and Attunement with Nature

Awareness comes from being connected with nature and its cycles. This involves taking the time to actually observe nature and see what is really there.

In order to perceive that astrology works, you need to actually observe the heavenly bodies and come to appreciate their cycles. The ancients had a better opportunity to do this than we do. They had time to tune in to their subjective, as well as objective, responses to their observations. It was they who developed astrology.

Also, they more directly depended on this knowledge for survival. For example, fishermen observed the cycles of the moon to know when the fish would come in near shore to spawn. Agricultural societies needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops.
