‘To understand the importance of the fixed stars and constellations in astrology, one must return to the dawn of time and the original role that stars played in human lives. Before time was conceived by the human mind, all was considered perfect. The word was seen hanging by a thread from the great, immortal, never-setting point, the North Pole Star. Eons later the Greeks called this point the Omphaloessa, coming from the word omphalos meaning the centre of things.’ Bernadette Brady
