Why Astrology?

Taking our first breath at birth symbolizes the moment when our spirit first meets our flesh. As we miraculously spring to consciousness, our supremely pliable selves are shaped and sculpted by the ethereal forces and subtle nuances of emotion and spirit that abound all around us. We become a permanent snapshot, a unique fingerprint of the cosmic mood at that specific time and place, and it is in this form that we begin –and end– our journey through life. This profound connection between time and place, and spirit and flesh, sets the stage for the exploration of astrology, a powerful medium that delves into the intricate tapestry of our existence. Astrology serves as a lens through which we can scrutinize every facet of life, unraveling the collective consciousness and ever-evolving cosmic moods. It extends its reach to illuminate the compatibility or conflicts within these celestial currents and unveils the dynamic interplay of relationships, career trajectories, physical well-being, and financial landscapes. More than a mere guide, astrology becomes a tool for understanding the potential obstacles strewn across our path, encouraging growth, and providing insights into karmic goals. In essence, astrology emerges as a comprehensive guide, capable of describing and deciphering the complexities inherent in every aspect of our lives.

Hey There, Welcome To DogStar Astrology! I'm Giles Harris

In the late 80s and early 90s, following my service in the army, my deep curiosity about the human psyche propelled me into astrology classes. Rather than settling into a conventional path, I set off on a journey that took me backpacking around the globe for nearly a decade. In those days, there were no fancy software or internet resources at my disposal; it was just me, armed with my trusty ephemeris, a calculator, a worn-out world atlas, and stacks of blank photocopied zodiac wheels. Everywhere I went, I drew individual charts for people—a truly remarkable period of my life.

These days, I’ve found a new kind of adventure living on a beautiful farm outside Cape Town with my lovely lady, Michelle. Together, we enjoy the peacefulness of rural life and the stunning scenery that surrounds us.

I’ve created this website because I’m feeling a growing urge to share my knowledge and experience with those who seek it. I integrate Modern and Hellenistic astrology techniques, favoring whole sign houses and the tropical zodiac.

My passion for astrology is stronger than ever, and despite the passage of time, I continue to be astounded by its accuracy and the wealth of insights it offers.

If you’re curious about astrology, I invite you to join me on this captivating journey.
