I can hear you now asking, “So how does astrology work? How does the movement of rocks in the sky influence me on Earth. Is it gravity? Do the planets emit rays?”
No one knows how astrology works. But here is the thing: no one knows how anything works.
What do I mean by that?
In the West we refer to things like “The Scientific Community” as a sort of catch-all group of experts that we trust to validate the Sciences. We believe that certain “sciences” have been approved by this scientific community, so we “believe” in those sciences, like, for example, Western medicine.
We believe in it as a “proven science.” We believe that a doctor knows “how” the body works, and that other “real scientists” (not wacky astrologers) can actually prove their assertions based on “scientific fact.” The truth is, scientists and doctors do not know any better than astrologers how their sciences work, we just believe they do based on our cultural bias.

For instance, let us say you go to the doctor’s office and observe a conversation between a child and your doctor. It may go something like this:
Child: “What does the heart do?”
Doctor: “It pumps blood through the body so we can stay alive.”
Child: “How does the heart do that?
Doctor: “The heart is controlled by a part of the brain that automatically sends an electrical impulse to it.”
Child: “How does the brain do THAT and how does the brain know HOW MANY times the heart should beat and for how long?”
Doctor: “Ah, such a curious little girl, aren’t you?” (looking for a piece of candy to give the child)

Any five-year-old child can bring the curtain down quickly on our mental arrogance, and our thinking we understand how things work.
The truth is that no one understands how these things happen. Just because we have been able to isolate and observe the areas of the brain that control
autonomic functions, like the heart beat and breath, does not mean we understand how it happens — any more than astrologers know how astrology works.
Doctors, the medical system, and others who are high on a perch of “scientific proof” are playing with the same deck of cards as metaphysicians.
They are just shielded from accountability by the belief system of the masses.People believe doctors are practicing science and astrologers are following a weird belief system. But astrologers and doctors do the same things. Both conduct experiments, observe the effects of these experiments and predict what will happen next.
People ask things of astrology that they completely overlook in other “sciences” they believe in. If we dismiss astrology because the astrologer cannot
answer “how,” then we must dismiss medicine and every other science as well.
How do the planets influence? No one knows.
What is the origin of the electrical impulse that is sent forth from the RComplex of the brain that keeps our heart beating and body breathing? No one
knows.
How does the digestive system know exactly what to do with every chemical compound in food and micromanage every little function each second? No one knows.
Doctors have no idea.
Astrologers have no idea.
The ancient yogis and rishis knew. Everything comes from the divine universe and we can see into that using astrology. We can see the what, the why,
the who, the when — but not the how. No one knows “how,” only god — or you could say, that mysterious creative genius behind it all is god.
