What we are trying to do with astrology is to tune into the ambient rhythms of the cosmos.  We tend to be alienated from the universal harmonies because of our stressful life styles:  we feel disconnected, isolated, powerless, adrift and alone in an uncaring universe.  We have lost our sense of being part of an eternal, ongoing process.  Astrology can help us to regain our sense of connection to the universe and to the earth by teaching us how to look at our daily lives as a series of lessons.  Astrology teaches detachment:  we learn that by paying attention to and adapting to the cosmic rhythms, we can come to a deeper sense of connection to the universe and a greater sense meaning and purpose in our personal lives.

The best way to get started is to subscribe to Magical Almanac, a free monthly ezine of astrology and magic, by sending an e-mail to:  MagicalAlmanac-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.  You can also subscribe (and view past issues) at:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MagicalAlmanac.   Magical Almanac lists the major astrological events each month with information on how to take advantage of them.  The Magical Almanac files (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MagicalAlmanac/files/) are chock full of some great articles on  getting started using astrology; there are also lots of how-to articles on beginning magic such as how to channel spirit guides, how to run past life regressions, and how to use nature spirits.   

The diligent student (and astrology is indeed a study – a life-long study) will want to acquire a good introductory volume on the symbols and basic rules of astrology.  Ronald Davison’s Astrology is not only the best of these, it is also one of the least expensive.   There are myriads of websites which will calculate your natal horoscope chart for free.   Free software to calculate horoscopes can be downloaded from: http://www.astrowin.org/  or http://www.magitech.com/%7Ecruiser1/astrolog.htm.
