Astrotheology is the learning of how examination of the natural cosmos enlightens mythology in the past and the present. Unlike astrology, astrotheology is wholly scientific.
Primeval religion was closely tied to observation of natural phases to inform such choices as the moment to sow and reap and for connected festivals. Ancient calendars were often based on the phases of the moon to classify months and weeks. The sun was venerated as the constant font of light and life. Numerous ancient schools of thought judged that life on earth is an element of the larger whole of the observable cosmos and that incidents on earth mirrored the blueprints seen in the heavens on the standard “As above, So below”. This principle of cosmic harmony established into the (Christian) Bible e.g. ‘thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’.
Astrotheology seeks to investigate these mythic thesis without allowing the unscientific conjecture that the folk convention of astrology has built upon them. Taking a solely scientific approach to verification, astrotheology inquires about how mystical religion is positioned in surveillance of nature - unequivocally & implicitly - and how religious beliefs have digressed into a disgraced and dishonest silhouette of unique enlightened processes.

Some forum participants wrongly presuppose that astrotheology acknowledges the modern magical designs seen in astrology. This is incorrect. Astrotheology points that Christianity invented in a social environment that was saturated with astrological principle. The “authors” of the Gospels, chiefly the writers of the Revelation attributed to John of Patmos, used these astrological beliefs to concoct the allegory of Jesus Christ as the anointed saviour.
