Discover your connection to the Stars

Throughout time, we as humans have looked up to the stars in wonder...
Astrology provides a window between the material and the spiritual world. It is based on concrete observable phenomena, and yet makes use of the data un an entirely different way (perspective), forming a bridge between the scientific world view and that of the artistic, the esoteric and ultimately the spiritual.
