If there’s one thing you should understand about  astrology it is this: astrology is the study of cycles. The earliest humans observed and noted the cycles of the Sun, Moon and seasons. As an agrarian society they depended on these cycles for growing food and ultimately for survival. In modern times we still experience cycles through the days and seasons, although technological advances, like lights, air conditioners, furnaces, and other mechanistic ways of controlling our environment, disconnect us from the natural cycles that are constantly around us.
