Why Classical Astrology?

From my study of this astrology over the last eight years, I am convinced of both its usefulness and its elegance. Although I am not a classical astrology ‘purist’ (I do use the outer planets in my astrological work), I believe there are many techniques used in classical astrology that may be fruitfully employed by modern astrologers. Classical astrology puts meat on the bones of astrology while adding height and depth to its soul and spirit. As a divinatory art and science (in its original meaning of ‘knowledge’), it helps to put us back in touch with the divine.
