Astrologers need to wake up to the cosmological roots of astrology. Astrology does not need the support of other philosophical, religious or spiritual systems. Astrology as cosmology connects the findings of the natural sciences with the core of the great spiritual traditions.

The existential significance of the four elements is lost through our orientation in physical, chem-ical, psychological and theological concepts. The basic structure of the four elements, of which the human being is built up, forms in every spiritual system the base and it is symbolised by the different manifestations of fourness and dressed in their own expressions.

Plato says in his work "Timaeus": "Creation happens between Fire and Earth. Since the uni-verse is three-dimensional, it takes two elements in between." This statement is essential. This means in practise for our everyday experience that we need to connect the impulses, Fire, with the element Earth, if we want something to happen.

Again, and again with my Mars-Saturn Square I experience the limitations that come with it. I cannot do what I would like to do, want to do, or what I think I should do. All my life I was cut back, like a rose bush, by the hand of a good gardener, who has no pity with the rose bush. I then learned to go with these energies and I can now sense the active forces working.

It is not so that this kind of Astrology can be learned in a weekend seminar, or even in a three-year course in Astrology, like you had. The background, what the energies are and how they work need to be studied. The cosmology and the working of the planets must be known. We cannot begin with looking at your chart and seeing where Mars and Uranus are and that there-fore you are in the state of being you are in right now. We can only misuse this type of approach as an excuse for not understanding Astrology.

It is not enough to “think globally - act locally”. “Global thinking” is a network of the New Era in which we can easily get caught. It is necessary to bring about radical change that is beyond the global. What is necessary for human survival: See Cosmic – Take responsibility individually.

That could be the New Earth slogan.
