Astrology is the study of the effects of planetary forces upon man. It is one of the best methods for man to learn about who he is, where he came from and where he is going.
The planets act as the messengers of the Universe. Their movement through the houses and signs offers opportunities for soul growth, crucial for our individual development. Think of the planets as the actors in a play. The signs describe the roles each actor plays and how they express their characters. The houses represent the various settings of the play, while the angular relationships between the planets outline the plot. Each planet possesses a unique energy, which can be expressed either positively or negatively. The effect of any planetary position on an individual is determined by how one utilizes their own WILLPOWER.
Teri will take you step by step in a series of monthly classes, designed to help you create your own astrological chart from start to finish.
