Why Astrological Data?

The same fundamental principle governs both people and data.

Short version

Here is the key to how CRED hangs together philosophically, logically, and practically:
  • Reality is an experience in one and the same consciousness.
  • Both nature and human beings follow the same simple laws of emergence and dynamics.
  • People and data (including astrological datasets) are expressions of the same underlying pattern.
  • Astrological data are used in CRED as a structured coordinate system for relational analysis – not as proof that planets physically influence people.

CRED reads structure and field – not belief. The rest of this section explains why this is logically consistent.

Explanatory version – step by step

1. One consciousness as the foundation

I, the one who developed CRED, hold – like Plato, Berkeley, Kant, Hegel, Spinoza, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, certain modern researchers and many other traditions and thinkers – that the world is an experience in one and the same consciousness.
  • There is only one consciousness.
  • It is fundamental – everything else is expression, not ground.
  • It has always existed, because non-being is philosophically, logically, and actually impossible.

2. The universe as a “world of appearances”

In this consciousness a world of appearances is formed (cf. Plato’s world of ideas), which is the universe as we know it.
  • The universe is purely mental/abstract – a pattern of ideas and knowledge.
  • It arises and develops through two simple laws (emergence and dynamics).
  • These laws can be formulated mathematically.
  • Everything that exists is created as ideas (knowledge) through these laws.
  • Everything came into being in a single “instant” – because time is an experience, not an independent reality.

3. The human being as a focus in the world of appearances

A human being is the universal Consciousness that focuses on one part of the world of appearances and – pop – begins to experience that particular part of the appearances as a human being.
  • We “dissociate” into an experience, i.e. a delimited part of the total picture.
  • You are an experience in a universal consciousness – not a separate “thing” outside it.

4. Equality: same substance, different form

This means that no one is more or less than anyone else – we are the same substance (consciousness), shaped in different ways.
  • What experiences inside us (consciousness) is identical in everything that exists: humans, animals, plants – even stones and everything else.
  • But we experience it in very different ways.
  • The experience is shaped by genes, childhood, family, environment, events – in short: the entire course of a life.

We are shaped differently, but we are the same. Whatever may emerge in a CRED analysis, no one is “better” than anyone else. We simply have different experiences and behave accordingly.

5. Conditioning: why we believe we are small

This also means that everyone possesses immense knowledge and immense talents/abilities, but that we have different filters of experience that tell us otherwise.
  • These filters consist of conditioning, laws, norms, fear, and social expectations.
  • They make us small – or lead us to believe that we are small.

We believe we are small, but we are in fact total – all of us – and we need to see each other that way. Imagine if everyone could live by this!

6. The same pattern in nature and in us

The fact that everything in the universe follows the same simple laws means:
  • Everything in nature is deterministically structured and functions in essentially the same way everywhere.
  • This is why a river delta resembles the branching of a tree, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and so on.
  • We human beings are governed by exactly the same laws as the stars in the sky.

This was understood in earlier times, and for that reason humanity’s science for many thousands of years was in practice identical with astrology.

7. Why a map makes sense at all

For many thousands of years, people studied every aspect of nature and human life, found correlations with the movements of the planets, and created a structured map – with the understanding available at the time. This map is astrology.
  • Since around the 1700s, we have largely suppressed this holistic understanding.
  • We began to take things apart instead of studying the large-scale patterns.
  • This has been an intellectual gain, but also a loss: we lost the overview.

In-depth version – for those who want the full logic

1. Two simple laws: emergence and dynamics

In the CRED model, it is assumed that the entire world of appearances – the universe as a mental structure – arose and developed through two simple, deterministic laws:
  • Emergence: how new patterns and structures arise as necessary consequences of existing patterns.
  • Dynamics: how these patterns interact, are reinforced, weakened, stabilised, or collapse over time.

These laws can in principle be formulated mathematically and apply everywhere – to particles, stars, ecosystems, societies, and relationships.

2. Time as experience, not as an independent reality

When the entire universe is understood as a mental appearance in one consciousness, it follows that:
  • Everything that will ever exist already exists as knowledge within this world of appearances.
  • It does not “take time” to create the universe – it is already complete as a structure.
  • Time is instead the way we experience this structure, through focus, sequencing, and limited perspective.

The entire universe can therefore be said to have arisen “instantaneously”, with all time conceptualised from the outset – but not experienced until through dissociation into local perspectives.

3. Determinism as a necessary consequence

When everything is governed by the same two laws – and everything already exists as structure – the universe becomes in principle deterministic:
  • This does not mean that we experience it as deterministic.
  • It means that there are no “gaps” in the coherence – no places where things happen without grounding in the pattern.
  • It means that every event is woven into the whole through the same logical principles.

4. Astrology as an empirical, structured map

When two laws govern everything, and we have at least a 5,000-year-old empirical, structured map documenting correlations between sky patterns and human patterns, it follows that:
  • It is correct to use astrology as an analytical tool – at the structural level.
  • This does not mean that the stars cause anything at all in the usual physical sense.
  • It means that the pattern they form mirrors the same pattern that exists within us – which is us.

This was understood in earlier times, but both the Church and parts of modern science have, over time, pushed it aside.

5. Field-level predictability

When everything is one and the same appearance with deterministic structure, it follows that:
  • Events can be predicted at an energetic level.
  • This does not mean that we can predict everything in detail at the individual level, but that we can understand which forces and patterns are present in the field at any given time.
  • Because the entire universe arose instantaneously in its entirety, with all “time” conceptualised as knowledge from the outset (but not experienced until through dissociation), all field-level events are in principle calculable, wherever in the great appearance one directs focus.

CRED is a tool that reveals the relational dynamics that govern development in a given field, and can therefore indicate which forces influence what is happening – now, in the future, and (interpretatively) in the past.

For sceptics and academically curious readers

For those who read this with a critical or academic eye, it is important to make the following clear:
  • CRED does not assume that planets physically influence people.
  • CRED does not require you to “believe in” astrology as a metaphysical system.
  • The only requirement is to accept that:
    • astrological data constitute a global, mathematical, stable, and repeatable dataset, and
    • that this dataset is extremely well suited to function as a coordinate system for relational analysis.

CRED therefore reads structure – not belief. The method uses an ancient empirical map of relations between patterns and combines it with modern field analysis and systems thinking. The result is that we can see:

  • relation axes and triads
  • friction and resonance
  • power relations and asymmetries
  • potentials, vulnerabilities, and zones of conflict

All this without claiming that “the stars decide” anything at all – only that they reflect the same fundamental pattern that human relationships already follow.

In summary

Astrology works in CRED because both human relationships and astrological datasets express the same underlying relational principle in a reality where experience is central.

Astrological data are used because they provide a complete, precise, and objective coordinate system for relational analysis – not because planets are assumed to influence people.

CRED reads structure, not belief.
