Thanks for elaborating Scarlet. It's very interesting point of view, and it seems like a complex science i would very much be interested if you would recommend me some books for further reading. (IMG:

Yes! Astrology is an extremely complex science... and of the greatest assistance when it comes to all occult matters (when to a ritual or spell should take place) and even mundane decision making. I would recommend highly the Astrological Textbook series by Alan Leo, an English astrologer from the former half of the 20th century. A couple older books I find useful are the Tetrabiblos by Ptolemy and Christian Astrology by William Lily. For "mundane astrology" (which is the astrology of politics, nation states and world historical events: one of my favorite subjects) There is a "World Horoscopes" book by Nicholas Campion, which has the natal chart of every modern nation state in it, plus other cool charts like for the formation of Rome. Another good beginner's book is called "Parker's Astrology". I would also suggest www.astro.com, which allows you to generate free charts (in the 'my astro') section. And alsohttp://www.astrology-numerology.com/
Also, what I have found to be the best method for knowing the unfolding of events: charts for the exact times of new moons, full moons, ingresses, solstices and equinoxes should be cast.
