Astrology is the oldest of all it sciences. We find a belief that Astrology spread throughout the whole world from Babylonia and Chaldea. It taught the people to lift their aspirations by faith, hope and reverence, through the planetary spirits to the Logos of our solar system, the One Supreme and Universe Self. Many attempts have been made to bring the study of Astrology within the reach of all persons endowed with a thinking mind, but owing to the magnitude of the subject and the great difficulty of reducing a metaphysical science into terms of natural philosophy, the object has hither to been only partly achieved. When we come to consider that Astrology was the beginning of nearly all that we hold valuable in art, literature, religion and science; that the constellations were our first pictures; and that astronomy sprang from Chaldean Astrology, we may judge of its value to humanity.
