What is the Ethos of oak astrology school?

Any material you learn from Oak has been processed through the lens of the practical, social, political and spiritual. Upholding astrology as a wisdom tradition is paramount for Oak Astrology School. This is in regards to the application of these materials in real time, and especially in these current culturally and socially challenging times. If a wisdom tradition cannot answer the questions of the past, present, and future that is not going to be a solid source of wisdom that upholds and protects life.
