THE TRUTH ABOUT ASTROLOGY

Humans have been fascinated by the heavens since antiquity; cave writings indicate that even prehistoric peoples were observing the stars. Still, it was not until the time of the Sumerians, around 2000 B.C., that an organized study of astrology and astronomy began.

Throughout history, learned scholars have studied the movements of the heavenly bodies and pondered their meanings. The question, How does that which is above us relate to our life on earth? continues to be asked, and everything we know about astrology today stems from that same search.

Astrology is currently used by millions of people around the world; the recent revival of serious interest in this subject has produced record numbers of books, computer programs, and other related materials. The word astrology, derived from Greek roots meaning word or reason of the stars, is now applied to the study of the relationships between heavenly bodies and life on Earth.

Astrology is a tool which can be used to expand our understanding of ourselves and our world.

The fact that you have purchased this e-book indicates that you have taken a positive, inquisitive step toward understanding astrology. After all, it's impossible to make an apt judgment about something without investigating it first. Otherwise, you're only reacting out of emotion or prejudice!

You have just crossed a bridge into a new world of knowledge.

Contrary to some ideas, astrology is neither a belief system nor a religion. It is not associated with any type of questionable therapy or cultish practice. In many respects, astrology is more like a specialized language.
