felt twitcheS Of Curiosity
and fear as I pulled *to Jfine
Cere's driveway a 'kW Weelts
ago. Visions of crystal balls,
tea leaves and large loop ear-
rings filled my head while I
strolled up to her front door.
Yet see, Jane is an
astrologer, and like many, I
had imagined the stereotyped,
fortunetelling kook garbed in
the latest of gypsy wear. In-
stead I was greeted by a
young, casually dressed
mother of three, who net only
didn't wear earrings, but
served drip coffee.
Scanning her country -style
kitchen I didn't notice even
one package of funny -colored
-playing cards, much less
posters of three -eyed goats.
Obviously out of touch with
astrology today, I listened
intently as Jane dispelled
many myths connected with
its theories and described
developments leading to its
modernization.
She explained that modern:.
astrology began with The.
Astrology- of Personality,
written in 1936 by - Dane
Rudhyar, wornsbecoftsi4ers
' to be the father of today's
astrology. Apparently
theories had • to be updated
because interpretation and
practice • apprOpriate for.
medieval society is irrelevant
to the present. .
One major difference is that
past astrologers resembled
fortunetellers, using birth -
charts to determine what
would happen. They did this
by assuming that cir-
cumstances were predictable
and unalterable. However
today's belief is that since
man is capable of reason, will,
detachment and unlimited
variable responses, he is
therefore unpredictable.
But she noted that the
measure of predictability is
directly related to concious
awareness of the individual or
self-knowledge. In other
words, his ability to structure
life for himself.
As before. modern
astrologers continue to believe
that one is born with a certain
birth -chart, or • emotional,
mental and physical
characteristics. But the future
depends on how well positive
tendencies have been
modified and expressed.
In Stephen Arroyo's
Astrology, Psychology and
The Four Elements he ex-
plained, "You get back what
you put out; everything
return e to its source. If one
expresses impatience and
• self-righteousness, for
example, he or she will
automatically elicit such
respontes from others. It is
useless to blame one's birth -
'chart for one's self-created
:misery.'
Jane , continued, "An
astrologer will get a handle on
what a person's weak and
strong points might be • and
work with them." There are
positive and negative shades
'between all aspects of a
personality. One should zone
in, on the positive instead .of
getting entrenched by the'
negative points.
BIRTH -CHART -Jane Cere, an astrologer, studies an
ephemeris to help her create a birth -chart. This chart is
actually a guide to finding out possible traits and
behavior patterns of an individual.
She maintained its practise
will help people look at
themselves objectively and
guide` them to inner produc-
tive growth.
"Brit the hardest thing is to
counteract people's fatalism;
only irresponsible astrologers
may frighten their clients."
• Jane, who first got in-
terested in the theory in. 1970
while studying philosophy at
-the University of Waterloo, is
the only'person she is aware of
offering astrological services
in - this, area. Her practice,
which is basically self.taught,
began so she could acquire
more data'. '*Stott can orifirAo
V/""liviTh-f WHY • and'
friends," she said adding,
plan to make this my life
'career."
• So far she has developed a
small clientele by advertising
in local community news-
papers. Anyone interested in
the service can count on confi-
dential Sessons. "Everything
is don in the strictest confi-
dence, on the same level of a
doctOr or lawyer,"
But how does it all begin?
What can a prospective client
expect?
First, aaabirth-chart is
constructed through in-
formation from the client and
the use of an ephemeris, which
is a book of tables on positions
of celestial bodies. The same
book is also used by
astronomers. -
Using the tables and date
and time of one's birth, the
astrologer creates a circular
map divided into 12 sections or
houses. Six houses lie above
the Earth and represent the
visible and social aspects of a
personality. The remaining
six, below the Earth, deal with
inner, less visible traits.
On this map the astrologer
plots positions of the sun,
moon anij !tenets iat .the
moment of the client's .birth.
Roger Elliot, a British
astrologer, explains in hhis
Astrology for Everyone that
there are three distinct stages.
"Stage • one is concerned
with'working out the ascen-
dant anti midheaven. Stage
two deals with the calculation
of the planetary Positions:and
stage three' involves assein-"
Wingthis information and
completing 'the birth -chart
together Ott , the-
'61-ciiiiithin of aspects and the
inclusion of the houses."
According to Jane the chrt
takes only minutes to m-
plete, however the final' and
most important service for the
client could take up to six
months; that is 'the analysis.
"The horoscope is pretty
general, therefore you have to
have ongoing consultation
with the person to determine
how the symbols.operate with
them: Youhave to look at the
whole chart and apply the
symbolism; that's where the
art comes in."
. While analyzing the chart
the astrologer also takes into
account the presence of the
four elements, one's zodiac
sign, mental complexity and
past experiences.
Each „tif the elements
represents an aspect of human
nature. Earth is physical and
practical; water, emotional;
air, intellectual, and fire,
vitality. These are the foun-
dation of the- zodiac and
therefore of all astrology.
Unlike symbols or abstract
concepts, they are forces that
make up the entire creation
one can perceive.
Each zodiac sign, from
Aries to Pisces, has, unique
characteristics. Together the
12 form a unified picture of
man.
...Jane' continued explaining
that the quality of anything,
born at any moment is
directly related to the quality
of the moment. "The position
of planets iS a reflection of
anything born: • animals,
:persons; even corporations."
Thereforeanything that has a
beginning „can have -a horo-
*ape.
• What dodlawith a hbro-
scope is -seemingly the most
important thing.
.'Jane said that the -Chart, or
blueprint, points out • how a
person's energies can best be
applied. It a tool for un-
derstanding people by
.describing possible traits and
behavior. One should regard
sign placements and transits
as opportunities that if cashed
in on, will provide a direction
toward growth.- Like an •in-
strument ,panel .one can take
readings on the course of a
life', but the client is still the
pilot.
"Most astrologers have to
be a bit psychic, good listeners
and sensitive,'" said Jane.
These traits help her study
future up and down cycles,
"but it is impossible toptedict
actual events". •
These astrological services
have helped both the "clients
and Jane. She noted that her
tolerance and understanding
of people has grown. ,"I've
learned to appreciate the fact
that everyone is different and
therefore will. have different
reactions to each situation."
