CHINESE ASTROLOGY

QUOTE

Mark:

My questions are , is there any sort of common link or technique between the Western Astrology and Chinese Astrology?

Are there more types of Astrology from other cultures?

Mark,

Most of the prominent (better known) Systems of Astrology are in this Section:

Chinese, Maya, Arab etc. You can tell which they are by the headings.

The most common one in the West beside our own is the Indian (JYOTISH/VEDIC/HINDU)

I only know one astrologer that practices the Chinese also. He now lives in your country, Australia.

I cannot tell you how the Chinese and the Western versions relate to one another. But I think
you could find out the answer to that better in your own country.

Should you seriously consider studying the Western method, I would strongly recommend
boning up on Greek Mythology. The planets seem to strangely embody the qualities of the
Greek gods after whom they were named......

Yes, the Horoscope is a 'map' to the character of the individual. That is the reason Astrology
is so widely practiced by psychologists, starting with C.C. Jung - you'll find some of his articles
on the subject here too.

Because of FREE WILL, the future cannot easily be predicted by the horoscope, only the circumstances.

e.g. Benezir Bhutto's chart did predict 'hard circumstances', but they may have not been so fatal, had
she not decided to stand up and put her head out of the armoured car.....the irony is that from that
point on, her future was very bright, which may still happen due to her 'martyrdom".
