I was in search for information about the life paths and characteristics of individuals according to birthdate by African Astrology. I just knew there had to be in existence some African Almanac : a record of personality traits, according to birth date. You are guaranteed to find the Chinese or Greek horoscope, of which are very helpful and really accessible. If your interests ventured you further, you could discover and explore the Myan, Aztec, and Native American birth charts. I just couldn't put my mind to rest. We have an origin, a history all our own! Why can't I find a chart with something, from my people? African culture is embeded in just about every aspect of many traditions, and ways-of-life for many around the world, the USA included - no matter what "they" tell you . Yes, we are a people that has been displaced and turned about, but we exist! We persevere, we are here!
The truth, sadly, like most of our native cultures and ways of life - have been lost, scattered and dissected. Misinformation breeds the opportunity for disinformation. These things can also lead to and the idea of superiority/inferiority. The truth stays hidden, because the knowledge of truth is strengthening. You can imagine how excited I was to come across this blog some years back: themindsjournal.com/african-astrology. I am grateful and happy to have learned and able to share. This is a simplified version. The full, detailed chart you will find at the fore-mentioned web address. The following information is based on Geomancy.
Geomancy: the practice of division that interprets patterns formed. In this particular form of African Astrology - that is explained as the most primitive and accurate - three bones are tossed, and interpreted.
