SkyView Astrology, the guide to Life’s Pilgrimage and the Soul’s Path of Evolution
Excerpts from the Book SkyView Astrology:
In ancient times, astrologers and astronomers were one and the same it would not have made sense to them to separate these arts. The origin of the word “Astrology” is rooted in the Greek language, which means “the wisdom and teaching of the stars” and the word “logy” comes from “logos” which means knowledge. Why would one want to study the sky and the movements of planets if not to understand the deeper, more metaphysical aspects of time? While watches and clocks measure the passage of time (quantity) Astrology measures the quality of time and astronomy records the movements of the planets and stars.
The word “Horoscope” comes from “hora” and “scopein” (orig. Greek, pronounced: scope-ain) which means “to look into the hour”. A horoscope is a sketch of the star constellations at the moment of birth at a certain birth place. This picture shows the fixed stars and the planets in their movements through the zodiac. The Radix or Natal Chart is the blueprint of the curriculum of one’s life, or we could say, it is the roadmap that guides the person through the maze of existence in the material world while in the physical body.
This book is about SkyView astrology, the only astrology system that deals with the real star constellations and a computer program called SkyView Astrology that has been available since the 1993.
Tropical/Western astrologers make statements such as: ‘You are an Aries, Cancer’ and so forth. People also like to be “categorized” and to say, for example, “I am a Leo” with pride because Leo is a sign that people like. In actuality nobody can really say who you are. These statements are made according to the position of the Tropical/Western astrological sun sign at the time of a person’s birth which doesn’t reflect the true position of the sun in the sky.
It is crucial to understand right from the beginning here, that the true wisdom of Astrology is not to tell you who you are or predict your future but provides a roadmap and curriculum of your life to guide you. Astrology offers choices and helps to enhance the quality of life, based on 12 archetypes. To be completely accurate, there are actually 13 archetypes and 13 months in the year, but I will write about that later.
How did Western/Tropical Astrology loose the significance of the SkyView Astrology?
Today, according to the Tropical/Western school the star signs and planets are at an angle that deviates 28° from the real-time, or actual positions/locations of the star constellations in the sky of the present moment. Tropical/Western astrology calculates a natal chart according to the star constellations that were astronomically correct 2000 years ago.
In the actual sky the mass of the star constellation of each sign varies, ranging from Virgo the largest at 43 degrees and Cancer the smallest at 20 degrees. As previously mentioned, in Western Tropical astrology all the signs are allotted the same 30 degree size in contrast to SkyView Astrology where we find the correct astronomical data and therefore the precise size of each star constellation in the sky is followed.
Chart 1: Sample Horoscope Tropical/Western Astrology
To give an example - from a tropical astrological point of view if you were born at noon-time in London on the 21st of October 1980 your sun sign would be 27.28 degrees into Libra, but if you physically look at the sky the sun is 34.19 degrees into Virgo. This makes Skyview Astrology incredibly accurate.
Chart 2: Same Sample with SkyView (the inner most circle still shows the Western/Tropical Chart for easy reference and comparison)
For your convenience find below the date of entry of the sun into a sign according to SkyView Astrology for the year 2000 so you can check in which sign your sun was when you were born.
Aries: 25° April 18 Libra: 23° Oct 30
Taurus: 36°May 13 Scorpio: 25°Nov 23
Gemini: 28°June 21 Sagittarius: 33°Dec 17
Cancer: 20°July 20 Capricorn: 28°Jan 20
Leo: 36° Aug 10 Aquarius: 25° Feb 16
Virgo: 44°Sept 16 Pisces: 37° March 11
The dates of the transition of the sun are based on the guidelines of IAU (International Astronomical Union).
Take into account that in the precession of the equinox the earth moves counter clockwise 1 degree every ~72 years and this causes the change of our sky view. The tropical and sidereal zodiacs were still the same until AD 221. This was the time when the astrology schools split into different methods.
Therefore, calculated by SkyView astrology, a person’s sun, born on April 17th 23.30, 1920 in London is on 0.01 Aries but in the year 2000, on the same day, time and place, the Sun is on 36.34 degree of Pisces as shown in the Charts 3 above and 4 below.
The significant difference between
SkyView and Western/Tropical Astrology
In my years of experience working with both Tropical/Western and Sky View Astrology, I find the latter to be more precise and relevant to the present age. Sky View reveals the details that are unfolding and clearly shows the opportunities emerging in one’s life. I have had many clients who were relieved not “to be” an Aries or “to be” a Cancer etc. and to understand the real meaning of their Astrology Chart, detailing the time quality of this lifetime, and giving them guidelines to move more easily through life.
The significant difference between the two methods is that SkyView Astrology shows you the way to move beyond ego consciousness by dismantling the ego’s attachments to the seasonal cycle in the tropical astrology system. It emphasizes the soul’s emergence into consciousness and towards the alchemical marriage. It is truly a spiritual guide to one's destiny………
Astrology is not a
Fortune telling tool!
According to the Sky View method, the way I understand and interpret it, the Astrological Natal Chart shows a blueprint of the curriculum of our lives. With the different methods of reading the charts we can see how this curriculum unfolds in linear time.
Methods such as Transits or Solar/ Lunar Progressions, for example, show the quality of time within one's life. We can thus evaluate the exact timing that would be beneficial for performing certain actions.
Equipped with such knowledge and following these guidelines life becomes smoother and more flowing. It is no longer a battle against barriers; instead it is more of an effortless movement through them. This requires not only a certain openness to see a gate or an opportunity, but also the willingness to move through it.
If we do not move willingly and with understanding within the chosen framework of our evolutionary path, we might be forced to experience our journey in much less pleasant ways. We might be pushed and shoved here and there, even suffer an illness or an accident for instance in order to be pushed back onto the right track. These experiences are correctives and are meant to bring us back to our chosen life path. If someone is moving too far away from their life’s destiny and path, they may even manifest lethal illnesses or die in accidents because the soul does not want to waste anymore time on the wrong path.
Pain and suffering arise when we resist and do not accept what is transpiring because we have forgotten that this was the journey we have chosen for ourselves.
Astrology has nothing to do with fortune telling!
It is all about knowing the terrain and the forces at work, and making conscious appropriate choices. There are many lessons to be experienced along the way and skills to be refined, if we are open and receptive to the countless “mirrors” all around us.
The future is not carved in stone and no one can predict it, in fact, beware of those who say they can! What astrologers are able to do is suggest what may happen if you continue on a certain path and they can tell which energies are available at a particular time. The whole point of knowing what could happen in the future is so that if you are unhappy about it you can respond in a different way and make the journey easier.

The healing properties of SkyView Astrology
The SkyView Astrology chart is one of the greatest gifts we could ever receive because it enables us to become masters of our lives. Let me explain, starting with the Chakras.
The chakras are transmitter relays between the physical and our subtle bodies. You can imagine them like the little black box between the walkman for example and the socket. In this box the energy of 220 Volts is transformed down to 9 or 12 Volts, or what ever voltage your gadget needs in order to function.
We actually don’t keep living based on the food we eat as most people think, but from the light we receive along with the food and through the chakras. If we eat too much processed food we don’t get enough light (and by the way, this is one reason for obesity) and if our chakras don’t work properly, we don’t get enough light either, e.g. life energy.
The chakras are the energy centres that connect our subtle light body to our physical body and if they stop spinning we die.
Each chakra governs a part of our life, for example one is responsible for the energy drive like survival and sex, one for the immune system, one for our consciousness and spirit within the cells etc.
The chakra on the forehead, commonly known as the third eye, is known to be our intuitive centre. It is also like a memory transmitter and here we find the blueprint of our lives. To understand this more clearly we must think for a moment in modern terms; it is as if we have a microchip with our horoscope imprinted and compressed in it, situated here, we could compare this to a ‘zip file’ in a computer. From the moment we draw first breath the intuitive memories of our blueprints are activated and continue decompressing as our lives unfold.
If we could make this information visible, it is the most precious knowledge we have available to guide us through life. The good news is … we can: the SkyView Astrology chart is an expression of this precious knowledge!
Matter is like decelerated light, but still flowing at a slow pace in a certain visibility range that we call our 3D human life. Our life path can be seen like a river. Pain, illness and depression etc. are like blockages and rocks, we can explain them as frozen light, blocking the flow or even altering its path.
The SkyView natal chart shows us the harmonious flow and the blockages too. It also shows us how we can remove the blocks so that the river can flow smoothly again and with which ones we have to accept as challenges we chose and learn to live with them.
In this respect the SkyView Horoscope is a tool for personal healing. Consciousness is light – light is the energy that “melts the ice” and removes the blockages and rocks in the river of life. This we can observe when the sun shines and ice blocks melt away.
From Johann Wolfgang Goethe:
(Translated by Katharina Bless)
On the day you were lent to this world
The Sun stood to greet the planets
You thrived and thrived into this life
According to the law that marked your start
That’s how you have to be, you can’t escape yourself
So the Sybille’s said and the prophets
And no time and no power can dismember
Embossed form within the process of evolution.
Original German Text:
J. W. Goethe, Orphische Urworte
Wie an dem Tag, der dich der Welt verliehen,
Die Sonne stand zum Grusse der Planeten,
Bist alsobald und fort und fort gediehen
Nach dem Gesetz, wonach du angetreten.
So musst du sein, du kannst dir nicht entfliehen
So sagten schon Sybillen, so Propheten,
Und keine Zeit und keine Macht zerstueckelt
Gepraegte Form, die lebend sich entwickelt.
A Testimonial:
I must thank you for the reading. On Monday 7th Sept, the owner of the kidnergarden which I am teaching hinted to me that she wanted to sell the school and asked if I was keen to buy it.
Tonight, I met a friend who attended for a spiritual course with me. She expressed that she intended to sell the kidnergarden that she owned for many years. I could not believe it. Now there are two persons offering their schools to me.
What you have mentioned about my chart is coming true. I know I am going to own a kidnergarden and find myself there. Now, it is a matter of choosing which school is for me.
Dear Katharina, I wish to thank you for the wonderful reading and advice.
With love and gratitude,
Sok Teng
