Astrology and the New Age Movement

Learning about astrology is very important for anyone who is interested in the New Age movement! Because the New Age movement is based on the belief that everything and everyone in the universe are spiritually connected to each other, the concept is suitable for various beliefs that promote it, such as the relationship of everything in the cosmos, mystical power known as "energy" or "energy field," "and, of course, astrology. One particular form of astrology, very different from the more famous ordinary type, is very in harmony with the New Age movement and its beliefs; it's called astrology Karma.

Founded by Martin Shulman, belief in astrological karma is based on the concept of karma that is seen and felt by a specific person different from what is seen or experienced by certain individuals in the same situation, because each has his own life lessons to be processed. , unsatisfactory lessons are processed in one's past life. Instead of assessing the differences of each person because each has his own unique personality, mind, and emotions, karmic astrology emphasizes that it is a matter of someone who does not fully fulfill his karmic role in his previous life. Karma Astrology is the only form of astrology that bases its conclusions on reincarnation; and that one's true influence, which includes everything from one's opinion to one's experience, does not originate from one's present life, it comes from one's past.

The forms of astrology that most people are familiar with Western astrology, Chinese astrology, Indian astrology or Vedas emphasize events in one's life and how to influence positive direction. Astrology Karma, however, views the life of the individual as what has been reincarnated for the purpose of completing what has not been completed in the aspects of the previous life of him and his life that he must improve, change, and develop.

In harmony with this concept is New Age practice such as "alternative" medicine, which takes many non-medical angles such as herbs and massage in the treatment of medical conditions, and, even more stressed, and even in the absence of disease or condition, focuses on individual needs for " cure."

Although not yet categorically explained, it seems to place such a strong emphasis on someone's need for recovery based on the New Age movement's view of reincarnation that only being in this life coincides with Karma's belief that a person has not reached closure. of whatever happened before. As a result, karmic astrology is different from the more widely accepted form of astrology, while the second focus is to map one's life journey and guide one's best potential direction, the focus of karmic astrology is basically "Improving what is wrong with" someone. Thus, those who claim to be professionals in the field of karmic astrology are far different from more standard astrologers, preferring terminology such as "healing" and misuse of other esoteric languages, often referred to as "psychobabble." In other words, karmic astrology has little resemblance to the concepts and practices that most people know as Astrology.
