閒來無事翻翻Allen Edwall的想法,希望不要翻得太離譜.

我的占星哲學 by Allen Edwall

　占星學是研究行星對於世人的影響,並非算命.是了解自己及將往何處的最佳方法,占星可顯示個性,而個性就是命運,也因此若能改變個性就能改變命運.星圖也就是健康、疾病、性格分析及就業指導等等的診斷書,分析小孩的星盤可提供父母親較好的意見以達到最好的教養,也可分析人與人之間的互動.

　星圖顯示趨勢並非預知所有事件,人是可藉由意志力來支配星象的,但若是隨波逐流,星象就會有相當的影響力.星圖是無法顯示個人意志及強度,鍛鍊自由意志對個人而言是相當重要的.智者掌控星星,愚者被星星支配.藉由占星,對於困境我們可以處理得更好些.

　請牢記吉凶並非運氣使然,而是過往所做所為導致,星象顯示過去的回饋,及目前的樣子.生命所欠缺的能藉由自我的要求,在未來時得到補償,如偉大的神秘主義者哥德所言:"人藉由自制力從控制世界的力量鎖鏈中獲得解放."

　依因果論("要怎麼收穫，就先怎麼栽。"),星盤就是命運的時鐘,順著行星調合運作,在適當的時刻,好處就會被植入;不好的作為,當時候到時,其人也將自食惡果.命運的法則不是盲目的,自我覺醒是可改變命運的."上帝不擲骰子,天賜之物磨得非常慢,但非常精微."

MY PHILOSOPHY OF ASTROLOGY

Astrology is the study of the effects of planetary forces upon man. It
is not fortune telling. It is one of the best methods for man to learn
about who he is, where he came from and where he is going. Astrology
reveals CHARACTER and character is destiny. If man can change his
character, then man will have changed his destiny. The main uses of
astrology are diagnosis of health and sickness, character analysis,
vocational guidance, analysis of children's horoscopes so as to give
parents a better idea as to how best to raise their children, and
analysis of the compatibilities between people.

Astrology does not show anything but tendencies. A man can rule his
stars by exerting his will. If a man decides to flow with the tide of
life, then the tendencies indicated in the birth chart will at some
time have their effect. The one thing a birth chart does not show is
the WILL of the individual and how he may exert it. The matter of
exercising free will is left entirely up to the individual. The wise
man rules his stars, the fool is ruled by them. Astrology forewarns
and being forewarned, a man is thus forearmed to better cope with the
struggles of life.

Remember that good or so-called evil configurations are not the result
of chance or luck, but are the product of our own past acts - the
horoscope shows what we have earned by our past living and therefore
what we are entitled to in the present life. What we lack in this life
can be gained in the future by applying ourselves to the task at hand.
The stars IMPEL but do not COMPEL. As Goethe, the great mystic, said,
"From every power that holds the world in chains, Man frees himself
when self-control he gains."

The Law of Consequence ("Whatsoever a man sows, that he shall also
reap") works in harmony with the planets. The spirit is born into the
physical world at that opportune time when the Law and the planets may
operate in harmony with each other. The birth of an Ego is so timed by
the Lords of Destiny, that the horoscope, which is the clock of
destiny, registers the kind of debts which the Ego has incurred in its
previous lives, and the time when these debts come to fruition, when
the harvest from the seeds which have been sown must be garnered.
However, the law of destiny is not a blind law, for it may be modified
to a certain degree in proportion to the amount of will power awakened
and utilized by the Ego. "For be not deceived, God is not mocked. The
mills of the gods grind exceedingly slow, but they grind exceedingly
fine."
