Astrology is a language which grammar is based on symbols. Since a symbol has different meanings depending on the context where it is placed, astrology can only be conjugated in the plural: every attempt of standardization (deviance of our scholastic legacy ?), or rationalization, lead to a dead end. Is it polysemy, its relative inaccessibility (partial for those who study it) which irritates our rational, separatists and potentially dogmatic sort?
Indeed, for more than five thousand years, astrology suggests to establish an interdependence between the harmony which exists in cosmos, with our simple human condition, observing the stars dancing since the "dry land" and questioning about the why of our incarnation.
Thus since Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler: the strength and richness of astrology were never denied, and will never dry up, unless man definitely cuts himself from this symbolical language and transform into a beast of burden... (a transformation which isn't improbable if we consider the evolution of the hundred latest years: a growing atheism and the persistence in Western countries of a technical-productivist speech, which leads us away from any form of verticality, but on the contrary would tend to make us look like beasts in the guise of progress, NDLR).
Beyond diversity of different astrological movements (with others debates on our website) we wanted to question about the content of the fundaments of astrology, of its "truth filed" as says Michel Cazenave.
To answer these questions, we gathered three renowned astrologists which approaches are complementary: Catherine Gestas (astro psycho-genealogist), Emmanuel Leroy (Karmic astrology) and Yves Lenoble (traditional astrologist). Together they will try to lighten up their art:
-what is a symbol for an astrologist ?
- where is the difficulty i the art of interpreting a theme or to answer a very precise question ?
- how does a consultation go ?
- how does the astrological symbolic invite to penetrate in what Catherine Gestas calls "an intermediary space", close from intuition and imaginary, far from reason which is the realm of the dualist intellect, separatist and exclusive...
