AstroExegesis is about the Jewish approach to astrology. In the Jewish view, mazal, i. e., ‘astrological influence’ is real. A study of the astrological content of rabbinical literature and the writings of the early kabbalists, and onto the medieval Torah commentators and up to today’s books and online presentations on Jewish astrology, reveals an approach does not challenge religious or moral values and, on the contrary, reinforces the belief in a created universe, brought forth from nothing by the One Deity, the Eternal Single Intrinsic Being, for the benefit of Its creatures. From this standpoint, the day of birth signifies the beginning of the individual existence within the order of creation at the moment at which the person can enter and participate in the world as determined by the spiritual challenges the newborn must experience in life in order to grow and develop to fulfill its ‘picture’ or ‘image’ in the mind of the Creator. The astrological qualities associated with time, specific the hour, date, and place of birth are the, so to speak, ‘spiritual ecology‘ into which the person is to grow and develop. AstroExegesis’s mission is to explore this spiritual ecology in the light of astrology through the lens of Torah.
