What Can Medieval Astrology Do For You?
Medieval astrology is the fullest development of the original systems of astrology in the West: it runs from the Egyptians through the Greeks, the Arabs, to the medieval Latins. It accurately predicts the probable order of events in a person’s life as promised in the natal figure (the horoscope). I believe medieval astrology is spiritual. As the astrologer Firmicus Maternus said, "The divine Mind…orders all things…preserved by everlasting fiery motion for the procreation and preservation of all things." In medieval astrology we try to know what the Divine Mind has determined, and our role in that Life.
Predictive astrology also helps us achieve proper happiness, knowing how to greet setbacks and feel proper joy over our blessings. As Ptolemy said,
"Foreknowledge accustoms and calms the soul by experience of distant events as though they were present, and prepares it to greet with calm and steadiness whatever comes."
