5- Astrology provides technique for best utilization of experience in basic life structure or life plan. Astrology removes rigidity and gives us a perspective and a means of gaining awareness on our lives, so that we don't get "hung up" on one experience, frustration, or blockage.

6- Astrology helps one to develop patience; for, when it is seen that the primary structural aspects of one;s existence are subject to an already-established periodicity and cyclic rhythm, it is much easier to dwell in the present with a patient acceptance of the here and now and with the knowledge that the present phase will end when it has outlived its purpose. which is "an active alignment with the timing of God." Astrology provides a pattern of growth and development that is far superior to any other psychological tool. It indicates what one should be working on, the essential meaning of a particular experience or phase of life, what inner patterns one is coming to terms with, the approximate duration of any particular phase of experience, and an accurate way of timing crucial changes in life.

7- Astrology improvers one to tune in on his or her inner powers and to use the power of thought, will, and creative vitality to mould a better way of being. Attending to astrological cycles, we can see when we have the opportunity to develop new approaches to life and when we will be tested to see if our present approaches are truly fulfilling and creative. It provides gateway to Universal Laws that pervade all of life and help the individual to rely upon these universal truths in one's own inner life. Among these laws are : order, compensation (or balance), cause and effect (karma), vibration, cycles, polarity, " what ye think ye become," and " like begets like."

8- Astrology guidesus to know that "all the world is a stage" and that we are merely playing a part in this vast drama. Such a realization can give us a sense of perspective and humor that alone makes life easier to deal with. And, in addition, such a realization leads one eventually to consider the ultimate questions of life: Who is the actor in this drama ? Who is the director ? And who is the author ? It helps us to identify with the totality of this liveing process rather than identifying, with one or two limited dimensions of experience. It enables the counselor to help the person to align himself with the truth of his nature and being, rather than moulding him to fit a man-made theory of how he should be.

9- Astrology is an art to look back to one's past life, understand the dements of the past better and learn more from them. Life ceases to be directionless and future pattern is in sight and one has to shape his life pattern accordingly. Liewellyn George called astrology the study of " life's reactions to planetary vibrations." Astrology is really the study of life itself, for the whole universe is alive, filled with vibrations, pulsing, being expressed in cycles, and astrology brings us into awareness of the awesome intimacy of our place in this universe. Energies radiate outward from every center, from every being, and touch every other being. I am a solar system, whose Sun is my heart, and whose energies reach out to touch the most distant part of the universe. That's what astrology can do for you-you need no longer be a passive receiver of life-forces, but with your awareness you can become an active centre of life-force yourself.
