Many astrologers become convinced through practice: astrology works, and its effects – especially those related to cycles and resonance – go beyond mere psychology or symbolism. But as soon as we acknowledge this reality, a fundamental question arises: why does it work? What kind of Universe makes such non-local, rhythmic interaction possible? Old mythological explanations are unacceptable, and purely materialistic science denies the very possibility of such influence. "Post-Classical Astrology" requires a worldview that logically accommodates the observed facts. For us, that worldview is Process Panentheism.

This view posits that the foundation of the Universe is not dead matter, but a unified, living Field of Consciousness, constantly evolving in Time. Similar to quantum fields in physics, this primary Field is itself invisible but contains all potentials. The matter familiar to us is not the foundation, but a result: it manifests as stable patterns through interactions within the Field of Consciousness.

This Field of Consciousness is dynamic; it constantly flows and evolves – and this flow is what we perceive as Time. Time, in this sense, is reality itself in its continuous becoming. This dynamic flow, unfolding in the space-time we perceive, naturally generates and structures itself through universal cycles and rhythms. Like a spiral, where the circle of a cycle constantly shifts forward in time, all processes in the Field have their beginning, development, culmination, and transition to a new beginning – this spiral, cyclical pattern of life is seen everywhere in nature.

Since the Field of Consciousness is unified and interconnected, synchronicity is its intrinsic property. Different rhythms and parts of the Field naturally attune and resonate with each other. The cycles of the Sun, Moon, and planets we observe are reliable markers, showing us the fundamental harmonics and phases of these fundamental, evolving temporal rhythms of the Field.

Human life is short, and it seems to us that the world is material and its laws immutable. In reality, the "laws of nature" are more like deeply ingrained "habits" or patterns of self-organization of the Field of Consciousness, the result of eons of repetition and evolution. These "habits" are not static and can slowly change along with the development of the Field itself.

Within this worldview, astrology becomes the study of how we, as part of this Field, live synchronously and resonate with its fundamental temporal cycles, indicated by celestial bodies. Our natal chart is a unique "resonant imprint" of the Field's state at the moment of our birth, our individual attunement to its universal yet evolving rhythms. By studying how current temporal cycles (via planetary markers) come into resonance with this attunement (considering the natural synchronicity of all parts of the Field), we can understand the activation of internal and external processes. This allows, considering the context of life, to anticipate periods of increased probability for certain events and to make judgments about their potential development scenarios.

Thus, this is an astrology of the dynamics of the Field of Consciousness, its natural cycles and rhythms of Time, manifesting through universal resonance and synchronicity.

The development of a 'Post-Classical Astrology' that strives for a scientific and philosophical grounding for the connection between humanity and the cosmos will be impossible without relying on the ideas of outstanding thinkers who boldly explored the nature of reality, consciousness, time, and memory. While this theory offers its own synthesis and specific application to astrology, I will highlight key concepts from the authors listed below:

Carl Gustav Jung and the Collective Unconscious: Jung's idea of the existence of a deep layer of the psyche, common to all humanity and filled with universal archetypes, finds direct reflection in our concept of the Field of Consciousness. We consider archetypes as stable, semantic patterns within this Field, which lend depth and a symbolic dimension to the interpretation of astrological cycles and resonances, explaining common themes and reactions to them.

Alfred North Whitehead and Process Reality: Whitehead's philosophy, which presents reality not as a collection of static objects but as a dynamic, continuous process of becoming events, has become the basis for our understanding of Time as the very fabric of the evolving Field of Consciousness. The idea that each event "feels" the past and influences the future ("prehension") resonates with our mechanism of resonance and the idea of evolving "habits" of the Universe instead of immutable laws.

Rupert Sheldrake and Morphic Resonance: Sheldrake's theory of morphic fields, which possess memory and shape systems (from atoms to societies) through morphic resonance (tuning into past similar patterns), provides a powerful tool for explaining how the Field of Consciousness "remembers" and how stable patterns are transmitted – from biological forms to behavioral "grooves." This directly reinforces our idea of resonance according to the principle of similarity and the memory of processes.

Henri Bergson, Matter and Memory: Bergson's profound analysis of the nature of time as "duration" (a living, indivisible flow) and his arguments in favor of the existence of memory outside the brain (as explored in Matter and Memory) have provided invaluable support for our concept of the primacy of the Field of Consciousness over matter. His views on intuition as a way of directly grasping reality also correlate with the idea of accessing information from the Field through resonance.

These thinkers, each in their own way, prepared the ground for understanding the Universe as a living, conscious, interconnected, and dynamic reality possessing memory. 'Post-Classical Astrology' strives to integrate these deep insights into a unified model applicable to understanding specific, observable resonances between the rhythms of the Solar System and human life.
