Good question! How does astrology work? Frankly, I do not know...yet. It's certainly not through gravity. Sure, the Moon may have some gravitational effects on Earth but what about the other planets? I do not believe astrology works via cause-and-effect methods, so a scientific pursuit may not be appropriate here.
If any branch of science is going to explain astrology, it will probably be the quantum sciences. For now, I am content with the notion that astrology is a study of reflections: as above, so below. When you stand in front of a mirror, your reflection appears. Who caused your reflection, you or the mirror? It's both and neither. The objects in the sky simply reflect, for a lack of better words, what is happening on Earth.
Astrology is a tool; how we use it is up to us. There's dogmatic and fated astrology, which I am not fond of. I do support the use of astrology as a tool to heal, know ourselves better and live a wiser life. I do NOT support the use of astrology as a tool to label, divide and segregate people. Anybody who practices astrology should be aware of these issues. We should not be considered victims of our horoscopes. Most importantly, astrology is entertainment, so it should be fun, at the least.
