THE TAO OF ASTROLOGY
The Zodiac is mysterious
Everyone knows this
The influence of stars and planets
Is dismissed by the unknowing
How can they know without study?
Studying patterns brings insight
Insight creates understanding.
The price of insight is responsibility
Responsibility weighs heavy.
It is the burden of Astrologers.
Experience of patterns gives power
Power is easily misused
Everyone knows this.
Astrology gives special wisdom
Great wisdom demands great delicacy.
Birthdays create destiny
Destiny is inimitable
Not everyone knows this.
They think they have choices
They fight to get their way.
The stars move on inexorably
Fate always has.
Cycles flow and return
And choice is dissolved.
Only the wise know this.
The wise flow with fate
The unwise rail against it.
Astrology shows fates wishes
Willing acceptance of your destiny
Is the wisest course.
Astrologers calculate in many ways
Yet Every way works.
Why is this?
Every way reflects the cosmos
The great shines through the small.
What came before Astrology
Who knows this?
Man's questions and curiostiy
Must stop at the Infinite
Only the Gods know such mysteries.
