VALUE OF ASTROLOGY
The educational value of Astrology centres in the fact that,more than any other science it reveals a man to himself.
No other science is so sublime, so profound, and so all-
embracing. It sets forth the relation between the Grand Man of the
universe and the little god that is man.
9
God created man in his own image.

VALUE OF ASTROLOGY
The Big Pattern is repeated in miniature human forms. God, the macrocosm, and man, the microcosm, are
related and are fundamentally one.
Revealing Hidden Causes
With this knowledge, we may determine the astrological
attern of each individual and know the relative
10
strength and weakness of the several forces operating ineach life.

VALUE OF ASTROLOGY
Astrology and astronomy were at one time a singlesubject.
The soul of things has not always been so largely
hidden to the great mass of people as it has beenduring the past century or two of sceptical,
materialistic science.
15
We have been so far removed from the true and innerscience of the stars.

VALUE OF ASTROLOGY That its higher knowledge has been practiced
either by the enlightened few unknown to the
world at large. Or by fakes who have secured fragments of the
subject and exploited that little knowledge by
16
trading upon the ignorance and superstition of theuninformed.

It would be difficult to assign to primitive
humanity the great invention of an astrologicalsymbology, universally used throughout the ages

different religions have looked for pictorial
presentation of the evolution of man and planet.

Its elements may be checked in one's own life with
sufficient exactness to demonstrate the truth of itsclaim beyond all possibility of disbelief.
An application of the principles it teaches, whether or
not those principles are fully understood, is sufficientto prove their validity by their fruitfulness in our daily
life.
