      <image:caption>“Although you will observe many apparent connections between astro-cycles, human character and events, it has not been proven that the planets and signs directly cause anything to happen. They may be no more than reference points for a third factor yet to be discovered — markers for the integrated effect of all the elements of the solar system, perhaps.” (Gillett, 2012, p. 7).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Astrology spread from Babylon to Greece and Egypt. Alexandria became the intellectual center of the ancient world and it is here that the concept of the horoscope was born. It brought together the Babylonian Zodiac with Greek notions of the four elements and the celestial sphere, alongside Egyptian symbolism. It also infused astrology with Neoplatonist philosophy, with its belief in a magical correspondence between sky and Earth.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 14-15).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy offered a complete system, from spiritual interpretation to mundane tools for use in agriculture. Reinhold Ebertin’s Cosmobiology sought to systemize psychological and medical interpretation. Alfred Witte and his successor introduced a new range of hypothetical Uranian cycles and highly technical approaches to combining the planets. And for much of the century, Mark Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar gave an esoteric and psychological emphasis to astrology in the United States.” (Gillett, 2012, p. 21).</image:caption>

This is not an in-depth post that details the full history or all the rises and falls in popularity that astrology has experienced in the West. It’s more of a sweeping overview from ancient to present times that dips into certain places, eras, and figures that were influential in the astrological field.

      <image:caption>On the 17th of November 1875 in New York, a society was founded that would help spark a movement that spread across the Western world and beyond. It would go on to influence many magical and mystical societies and movements in the early 20th century. Unlike many societies at the time, this one wasn’t entirely male-dominated, as one of the cofounders, and probably its most famous one, was a woman. I’m talking, of course, about Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. And this is her story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Pluto: From a Mythological and Symbolic Perspective - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I’ve been on my astrology journey, one of the ways I’ve connected to the planets has been through their mythological and archetypal correspondences, accompanied by the symbolism astrologers use to describe what the planets signify. With that in mind, this series of posts, where I’ll cover each planet in our solar system (plus Pluto), I’ll write about their mythology, archetypes, and some general symbolism, including my own observations. In this post, I will focus on Pluto.</image:caption>
