About the Presentation
Principles & Methods of Mundane Astrology
Mundane Astrology is the astrology of world events and global trends. This includes a study of political and cultural changes as well as such things as natural disasters that have a major impact on society or large groups of people.
Although astrology in modern times tends to focus on the lives of individuals, astrology was originally primarily focused on the affairs of the state and the well-being of the king. Studying astrology from this broader perspective requires special techniques and a more holistic way of thinking.
In this presentation we’ll be delving into the various methodologies and techniques used in Mundane Astrology and in the process we’ll be attempting to shed light on our own perplexing current global situation.
