Astrology is an ancient science which has many modern day adherents. It is based on the interrelationship between the planets and constellations and life on earth. According to astrology, at the time of birth each human establishes a relationship with the universe, and this relationship continues to influence the life of the individual as the planets and constellations move through space and thus impact the life of the individual in different ways. Thus the planets and constellations influence the course of an individual life, but they do not control it.
There are many speculations about the way the planets and constellations influence human life. One idea is that, since the human body is mostly water, and since water can store and absorb information, as we learn from homeopathy, perhaps the vibrations of the planets and constellations traveling through space imprint the human organism with certain packets of information when they impact the water in the human system.

"It is commonly recognized by scientists, philosophers, astrologers, and thinking people of today that certain cosmic forces play upon and produce changes in our solar system, and consequently upon our planetary environment and all life within it."
"In its highest aspect, astrology enables us to expand our awareness, focus our understanding, and function in an appropriate manner. As we work with astrology, we can learn the values and the secrets of true coordination between soul and personality."
"Astrology, at its most basic, tracks the positions of the sun, moon, and ascendant (rising sign) at the time of birth, and progressed throughout one's lifetime using the laws of relationships and correspondences. According to esoteric (soul-centered) astrology, the sun sign influences the life of the personality, the ascendant reveals the purpose of the soul, and the moon sign affects the emotions and subconsciousness."

[Carole can vouch for this magazine. It stimulated her research on her book, Cycles of Opportunity.]
From the earliest recorded histories of humanity, astrology has been fundamental to the spiritual realities which have run through the world's mythologies, religions, and healing traditions. An awareness that we are all a part of some inexplicable, enigmatic wholeness can awaken and animate our reverence for the sacred and bring a sense of enchantment to our lives.
As an unparalleled tool of self-awareness, astrology can help us make our time--our experience, our lives--deeply transformative. The expanded view with which astrology empowers us can open doors to a greater appreciation of our own motivations and a greater compassion for the motivations of others. It can also provide the psyche with a framework for realizing its fullest potential while endowing the soul with an understanding of its own evolution.
This is what ISIS Institute hopes to encourage.

This site was created to respond in a practical way to questions being asked by the general public, such as: Who am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here? Where am I going? How do I get there? and How do I use astrological principals in my daily life? These questions reflect a new evolutionary stage for humanity, that of Soul recognition and practical growth. Night Light News endeavors to bridge personality- with Soul-centered astrology and articulate a practical way of living using astrology.
Night Light News will follow the monthly movements of the Sun, Moon and planets and explain how their light, falling to Earth, not only affects us physically but provides us with information. This is important since humanity lives within specific light frequencies yet most of us remain completely unaware of the purpose of these energies and their connection to our individual lives, and the role they can serve in developing our consciousness.

The AA was formed at 7.22 pm on 21 June 1958 in London by a group of astrologers from the Astrological Lodge, which itself had been founded by Alan Leo in 1915. The two most prominent members were John Addey, who originated the theory of harmonics, and Roy Firebrace, the sidereal astrologer and founder of the magazine, Spica. They were backed by Charles Carter and many other prominent Lodge members, including Joan Rodgers, Margaret Hone and Ingrid Lind.
The founding members' main purpose was to bring astrology out of the fringe and into society's mainstream. John Addey contributed both his profound understanding of Platonic philosophy, in which the stars and planets reveal the passage of time, and time itself allows the unfolding of the Ideas which emanate from the First Cause, or Creator, and his flare for statistical and mathematical research.
The principle publication is the Journal, published six times a year, and respected around the world as a forum for high quality debate and discussion. The AA also publishes Correlation, an academic level bi-annual journal on astrological research, a Newsletter containing information, debate and opinion, and the Medical Astrology Newsletter, the only journal in the world devoted to medical astrology. The AA also organises occasional seminars on all aspects of astrology.
