This, then, is the real purpose of astrology: to hold a mirror before the evolving self, to tell us what we already know deep within ourselves. Through astrology we fly far above the mass of details that constitutes our lives.

Despite all these pitfalls, it remains a good tool for certain people at certain times in their lives.
