Where Astrology and Quantum Physics Interact

On the face of it, astrology and quantum physics seem about as far from each other as you can possibly get. Quantum physicists study at university for years; astrologers can sometimes do their work by intuition. One is mostly said to deal with matter, while the other mostly deals with the mind. But they do have one important sector where the colors overlap … that is, they both astrology and quantum physics deal with types of energy and particles that we know are there, but have yet to explain.

What is quantum mechanics/physics?

If you are anything like I was for most of my early adulthood, quantum physics just meant really, really hard physics! Actually, quantum physics deals with subatomic particles -- the particles that Newton failed to describe or incorporate into his laws of classical physics. Quantum physics explains the wave/particle duality, the spin of a particle, the fact that we can never really be certain of the exact position and velocity of a particle, and that energy is a separate phenomenon to matter.

What is astrology?

Astrology, from the horoscope in the newspaper to highly personalized online astrology readings, recognizes (and interprets with highly variable degrees of accuracy, depending on personalization!) that energy is a phenomenon separate to matter, but that energy has an effect on matter. We also deal with the uncertainty principle (which in quantum physics refers to never really knowing the spin, velocity and position of a particle accurately), in that we can never accurately measure how two elements will interact with each other -- we can only describe each one accurately.

Online astrology readings recognize that every person was born at a different time and different place on the planet, and thus have a different cosmic imprint on their nature. In comparing this phenomenon to quantum physics, it is like seeing every individual as an element within the periodic table. Everyone is different than the other. They may have only minor differences in electrons, protons and neutrons, but when you put a heap of them together, they express that small difference in very visible ways! Even twins, with a relatively small difference in time of birth (and usually the same place!) can have very different astrological readings.

We are about to enter into the Age of Aquarius, or the age of energy … quantum physics is actually quite a good companion to astrology at this point in history!

Why Your Kids Need Astrology Even More Than You!

For many people, a personal astrological reading is like a form of psychotherapy. We get them to understand ourselves better, to learn to work within our limitations and celebrate our positives and to help guide us through decisions. But really, we're old enough to take care of ourselves … it's our kids that can really use that insight!

Children's accurate horoscopes can be a valuable tool. Imagine having an instant understanding of how your child will react to stressful situations, whether he or she can handle challenges or is best left to move at their own pace, what they see when they look at you (their parents), and which careers would best suit them. A carefully researched horoscope will include many things:

• Your child's personality: Looking at the planets at your child's time of birth is a valuable guide to their personality
• The way they relate to both their mother and father: Accurate horoscopes for children will usually include an assessment of what children see when they look at the parents, and what characteristics they have inherited from you. This section will be different for siblings, because it explores the dynamic between the parent and child, not simply the parent.
• Their mental tendencies: Good astrological readings will tell you about your child's areas of interest and their attitude towards studying, which could be very valuable later on!
• Their physical tendencies: Online astrology readings can also indicate strong and weak areas in your child's general health. Please note though, that they are not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.

Another valuable insight that these child's online astrology reports will give you is into the generational influences that he experiences. Parents obviously don't attend school with their kids, or constantly supervise their play, and some times the attitudes they bring home can seem inexplicable! Nature and nurture obviously both have roles to play in your child's upbringing, and this section of the report can be one of the most valuable for many parents. Again, this section can vary from child to child as every one takes different things away from the influences of their peers and television.

Another small but very important benefit of having your child's personal astrology reading done early in life is that you are much more likely to remember their birth time accurately!

What Does a Good Love Compatibility Report Contain?

If natal charts and personalized astrology reports can become long and complicated, then love compatibility charts can be an absolute maze! In this case, the whole is more than the sum of its parts -- you can't simply add two astrology charts together and get a love chart. They are intricate and very involved, just like relationships in real life. Free reports based on electronics and automated systems just can't cut it -- here's what you can expect from a love compatibility report by a quality astrology charter.

Personality and Motivation Comparison

Astrologers will generally look at the positions of the Sun, moon, Venus and Mars together, Venus and Pluto together, and Mars and Neptune together, and compare them between the two of you, to get an idea of how you interact with each other in a variety of ways. This part of the report will discuss themes like power, organization, practicality, sexuality and interests. However, the exact themes that appear here are highly driven by your individual charts.

The Attraction

Quality astrology charts for couples will also look at what attracts each of you to the other. It looks at the planetary aspects that are in harmony with each other, or complementary to each other, and the way they interact to draw you together. You will usually see notes in this section of your love compatibility report about how your planets oppose, trine, conjunct or square each other.

The relationship's destiny

Love compatibility reports can also conjecture about the outcome of the relationship when each person acts in a particular way, according to their chart. They can give you an idea of what you need to do to make the relationship a lasting one, and whether it will be happy if each person remains true to certain aspects of their astrology chart.

If the subjects of the love compatibility report live together, then every theme and idea within the report is exacerbated. A person who likes to spend lots of money, go out frequently and generally live the high life may be able to maintain a friendship with someone who is especially frugal … but when living together you can imagine the magnitude of the problem!

Sometimes statements within relationship astrology charts can seem to contradict each other, and in this case, it usually means that the two of you alternate your roles. Read your love compatibility report with a sense of trust in the process, and you will find plenty of good advice!

Difference Between Free Charts and Quality Astrology

Do a quick Google for "astrology chart" and you'll be bombarded with offers of free astrology charts. There are quite a few people who try these, get an inaccurate account of their preferences and personalities, and decide that astrology is hogwash. This is very frustrating for astrologers producing quality horoscopes! Your mother may have said to you (more than once, if she was anything like mine!) that you get what you pay for. If you pay nothing, you usually get nothing. Free astrology reports are based on automated systems and the mechanical action of databases -- quality ones that give an accurate picture of yourself and your future take time and training to create. What is the difference between a free astrology report and a quality horoscope?

Human judgment

Have you ever been frustrated by the voice-recognition systems that big companies are using to try to cut down on call center staff? If you've ever had to try and guess what answer a machine wants you to give, you'll understand why astrology by machine just doesn’t work. Anything outside their set parameters just slips by … and that small detail could make a big difference in your chart!

Natal charts are not only created by a set of rote characteristics, but by the interactions of these characteristics. Each house, ascendant and element does not stand alone, they all impact each other. Only humans can gauge the effects of one on the other.

Niche approach

Personalized services don’t attempt to be all things to all people, whereas the larger free services adopt a broad-brush approach. A personalized quality horoscope can tell you what really matters to you, without wasting your time, attention or energy on things that are superficial.

Love Compatibility

If a personal chart can quickly become complicated, a love compatibility chart is at least doubly so! It isn’t reasonable to expect a free report to be able to detect and interpret all the nuances of the zodiac system where two people are concerned. You and your partner probably have a hard enough time figuring each other out -- what makes you think a machine could do it?

No dog readings!

Free reports are often used for light entertainment, to create reports for dogs and cats, or even for cars. Astrology just isn’t applicable here, and quality astrology services don't provide things like this.
