Inner Alchemy Astrology by Mantak Chia
The Taoists assume that the magnetic attraction to the universe is particularly strong at the moment of conception and that the current energetic constellation has an influence on the growing life.
The universe is characterized by principles of creation that result in certain forms of movement: contracting, expanding, ascending, descending and circling. These are the five principles of creation from which manifestation processes have emerged in the course of evolutionary history and are reflected on earth in the five element system.
The basic elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water, each of which is divided into yin and yang. The 5 celestial creation principles in space and the earthly time references of the elements in 12 months result in a cycle of 60 years, which then repeats itself energetically. This cycle was described by sages thousands of years ago.
The energetic rhythm can be applied to years, months, days and hours, so that an individual energetic constellation can be calculated for each person at the time of birth. This is the basis of a chart that shows the five elements in their proportional composition. This is then combined with a 10-year cycle and a one-year cycle. From the overall picture you can see which elements are particularly effective at which time and how you can use positive influences in your life and balance out negative phenomena.
The initially neutral view of the elements can then be read individually for each person. On this basis, personal strategies for exerting a positive influence can be derived. A professional consultation with a person certified in Inner Alchemy Astrology is recommended.
A comprehensive description of Inner Alchemy Astrology can be found in the book Wisdom from the Stars, by Christine Harkness-Giles.
