MUNDANE ASTROLOGY
The study of world trends, the destinies of nations and of large groups of individuals.
"Mundane astrology is really all about planetary seasons and how they reflect the climate of life on earth. We study the sky and work with cycles and seasons, just as meteorologists do. The only difference is that we don't discriminate--we keep all the planets in mind, not just the Sun."
--Kim Rogers Gallagher, American Astrology, March 1996
