Any attempt to explain Astrology should start with bringing the Cosmos into the equation. Your equation. What relationship could you and the Cosmos possibly have? To suggest that you two are unrelated would be strange - the Earth and everything in it was created out of cosmic matter. Everything around us - the table, the laptop, the coffee - was made with chemicals already in existence on Earth. Will it be wrong to hypothesize that the same logic could be applied to humans. Have we been created by substances already in existence on Earth/in Space? It doesn’t make sense to think otherwise.

The key concept here is that by “substances”, I mean not only the visible chemical ingredients of the human body but also the imperceptible for the human senses frequencies and waves. EMR scans are a great scientific proof of the existence and potency of electromagnetic signals with regard to the human body, mind and soul. Our thoughts are a mixture of chemical formulas and electric signals. The same could be said of our desires, impulses and behavior. Can the same be said about our overall personalities? I think yes.

Have you noticed a difference in your mood and energy levels (your personality for the day) on a sunny day vs. on a gloomy day? Do you notice that in the morning, as the level of sunlight on Earth increases, so does our level of alertness (better known as: it’s easier to wake up when it is bright outside than when it is still dark regardless of how many hours of sleep you had last night). And the opposite, as the level of sunlight decreases, our melatonin levels increase until eventually we put down our devices and go to bed. And lastly, do you know that low exposure to sunlight leads to depression because low levels of vitamin D have an impact on the thyroid gland (the master gland that regulates pretty much every metabolic process in our body).

Is it really realistic to say that the light, waves, frequencies that “attack” the Earth from Space have no influence on us? And if we admit that they have influence on our moods, how can we reject the idea that planetary bodies closer to the Earth than the Sun or larger than it might have an ever bigger impact, for example on our general personality disposition (vs just on our mood today)?

Skeptics of astrology don't know this but the general associations attached to the 12 zodiac signs are rooted in the movement of the Sun above and below the ecliptic throughout the year, and the level of sunlight that the human baby brain is exposed to during the first few days/weeks it spends on Earth.

With the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment, humanity entered a period in history of ever-growing power of the human over nature. We could exploit nature, overcome gravity, disperse rain clouds, thanks to science we were able to subject nature to our will. That went on until recently when climate change, new deadly diseases and global pandemics started to remind people that they are part of nature and can be affected in ways unimaginable. Trends such as veganism, bio foods etc. are a reflection of a growing consensus that we are part of the natural world. The next step in consciousness would be to understand not only that we are a part of nature but that together with nature we are a part of the Cosmos.

Think about it: Now you look into the mirror and you say: “Well, I am just a more advanced biological organism but still a biological organism like all the other animals that live out there”. In the future, you will look in the mirror and say: “I am made of the same substance as the stars”. Sounds much better, don’t you think :)
