Its use has also allowed us to orient ourselves, both day and night, and we have even based the distribution of time and our calendar on the stars (days with the sun and months with the moon).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each of the religions have veiledly expressed stellar events in the form of myths or parables.<\/strong> The Judeo-Christian symbology (the most present in Western society), continually refers us to these events through its different teachings.  Ancient civilizations observed the sky, the sun, and the stars, and grouped them into celestial systems. <strong>These systems or constellations were given symbolic names of figures or animals and mythological stories were associated with them that explained their movements and relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, the symbol of the cross is not only Christian, it was used thousands of years before Christ and refers to the cult of the sun, as it passes through the different constellations.  It is no coincidence that the fundamental figure of Catholicism has so much in common with other &#8220;solar gods&#8221; and, among many other similarities, many died on the cross only to be reborn, precisely<strong> coinciding in the northern hemisphere with the winter solstice, the longest night of the year that precedes the return of good times.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">The sky \u2013or, rather, our perception of it\u2013 is a reflection of , a blank notebook where we have written the history of who we are, where we come from and even the reason for our existence.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>It is a theater stage where we put the different parts that make us up to interact<\/strong>, we draw imaginary lines in the sky, we endow them with emotion, intention and quality to finally collect that information and transform it into symbols that, even today, continue to be part of our daily lives.  Jung said that <em>\u201cWe never give the world a face that is not ours, and precisely for this reason we must do it, to find ourselves.  For above the end in itself of science or art is man, the creator of his tools \u201d<\/em>I would add later that <em>&#8220;Astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If the influence of astrological disposition on crops, animal behaviors and tides is proven <strong>What makes us assume that we are different?<\/strong> Every living organism is composed in its basic form of the same matter, and this works under the same laws.  It makes sense to think, then, that there could be a correlation, some kind of connection between our , or its expression, with the different constellations or astral arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>From this arises the well-known Western horoscope, but also the Arabic, Chinese, Mayan, Aztec, Egyptian, Celtic, Gypsy, Hindu, the one used by the North American Indians, the orisha&#8230; all this tells us closer to understanding that <strong>Human beings, from different times and cultures, have used the constellations to travel to the depths of their psyche and try to understand their &#8220;internal order&#8221; (psyche) through the &#8220;external order&#8221; (stars).<\/strong>.  All of this is a consequence of a consciousness of unity that is as old as it is shared.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Therefore, the human being has learned to observe and even to systematize parts of that observation in which, in some way, he has also projected his own process of individuation.  And so, we learned to look at ourselves in the mirror of heaven and earth.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The planets and constellations that populate the universe represent each one of the universal archetypes, which are those patterns of behavior that incline the person towards a certain attitude, necessary in their personal process.<\/strong> An evolutionary process whose purpose is to take us to our authentic essence, to the complete Being, symbolized by the sun.  We could compare the firmament as a manual in which the essence of the origin of the human psyche is written, projected onto the earth in the form of archetypal symbols and myths.<\/p>\n<p>If we look at the sky, on a starry night, we can see part of our essence reflected, the sky as an infinite field of possibilities,<strong> the stars as points of consciousness that guide us in this world and the combination of them as part of our collective, archetypal unconscious, in which ancestral images are created from birth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You just have to look up at the sky.
