God and Astrology
I believe that there is a place for God in Astrology. I am a strong believer in God. I don't believe in "old man high in the sky watching over us" God though. I believe in God as everything and that it is in everything. That means that I am a pantheist. Sometimes, I refer to God as the universe. I might even just use the word, the divine. I could even say that it's nature itself. Pan is the Greek God of Nature, and Pan means "all"
Because of my belief in pantheism, I believe that we all connected through the divine energy that I believe is in every one of us. I believe that Astrology works because everything in existence is connected to each other,and so that includes the heavenly bodies. That's why I even believe that asteroids(even personal name asteroids) work in Astrology. I believe that God is both female and male....the yin and yang. I believe that a positive always to have a negative and vice versa. The positive and negative balance each other out that it's neutral. We see that with negative integers and positive integers. a negative integer of a number plus the positive integer of the number ( - 1 + 1 = 0). The number zero has no beginning nor end just like I believe that time,space,and cosmos has no beginning nor end. Both positive and negative integers go to infinity. There is no beginning nor end to numbers. I believe that life is infinite itself as it goes in cycles. Once it reaches the end of 1 cycle,it goes to another. I even believe that concept applies to birth, death, rebirth concept of reincarnation which I am a believer in. I also believe in parallel universes, and I believe that there is an infinite number of universes. I believe that all of us have counterparts in parallel universes too. I even believe that with all these infinite parallel universes, there are infinite possibilities of how our lives can manifest. Therefore, I believe that our potential is infinite. I even believe that every moment, the actions we take actually even lead us to transference to one parallel universe to another and to another, but we don't realize it. It's like going back in time,but when you go back, it's like you never left. Nothing has changed except your thoughts, feelings to your surroundings which can be connected to change in frequencies which can be due to unconscious shift to another universe parallel to the one that we were previously in. I even believe that our imaginations actually help us tap into these parallel universes. I believe that the dreamworld is actually a parallel universe where the laws of physics don't apply, and so things like flying can easily happen with just a thought.
We can say that 3Dimensional objects have no end because of overlapping sides. We can go in various directions and go to the end which can also be a beginning like the corner of a table as you go down a side and get to the end, you're at a corner which is also beginning of another side. Of course, objects that are round have no sides and corners, and no matter how you turn it, it looks the same. That's how I view God. No matter how we perceive God from certain sides, angles, I believe that it's still the same God. It's our perceptions of God what makes God to be different. I believe that applies to everything else because God is all.
I believe that Astrology is a form of divination in that the divine could give us messages and information. I believe that the divine could give us messages and information through Numerology, Tarot, Palmistry, Channeling, Mediumism and other things. I don't believe that a belief in Astrology and other divination systems contradicts the concept of God.
I believe that the heavenly bodies in our solar system are archetypal energies, and that the myths, legends can help us understand the archetypes that are within us. I believe that the sky is reflection of ourselves. Therefore, I believe what goes on in the sky, goes on inside us. I believe in synchronicity like Carl Jung believed in.
Because I believe that the sky is reflection of ourselves and we are born with the same objects at the time, we are the same for are composed by the same energies. The variations of our levels are reflected by our different heavenly body positions. We all have the same aspects, but they are just in different angular relations which reflect the varying levels of our potential which can be viewed as weaknesses and strengths from a relative standpoint.
We can look at the chart from various angles like we can look at it from ecliptical longitude(zodiac sign placements),ecliptical latitude, equatorial longitude (Right Ascension which astronomers use instead of ecliptic longitude),equatorial latitude(declinations which astronomers use and some astrologers use),horizon coordinates (coordinates from the view of your location),and others.There could be infinite amount of coordinates, but there are just few made and used because they make sense because it's neat, orderly, and sequential - linear concept. Infinite, unlimited, chaos, disorder are all nonlinear concepts. When when we consider all these coordinates, we will find more aspects that mirror the similarities that we have with other. Therefore, it's true that if we look hard enough, we will find it. That's just how the universe works. It's infinite, and so there are infinite ways to look at things. The possibilities are infinite. The possibilities of the people that we interact with are infinite. The experiences that we have are infinite.
In a way, I believe that Astrology is finding information through God by analyzing the sky.
Michael Star points out the following in his article, Stars For Signs:
"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
- Genesis 1:14 in King James Version of The Bible
Sometimes I wonder if the people who quote the Bible to condemn Astrology have ever read what is on the very first page? It says God made these heavenly bodies to show us "signs" of His intentions, and those signs are there for anyone to read, if they would only learn how to interpret them.
That is what Astrology is all about - interpreting the signs in the motions of the sun, moon, and "wandering" stars. And that is why Kings and Popes have consulted Astrologers throughout the entire recorded history of mankind. In ancient times these wise counselors were called Magi (wise men) or Chaldeans, since many of the wise men who knew the principles of Astrology were from the land of known as Chaldea.

My studies in Astrology have actually helped strengthened my belief in God.
I will tell you straight up....I am really into Asteroids, and I really believe that the asteroids (especially the personal name asteroids) can fine-tune messages that God give us through Astrology. I believe planets by themselves can be very vague.
