The most practiced astrology is NTALA “birth astrology” as the author indicated (ND, page7) which deals with birth patterning of individuals. The author presented Natal astrology in three points:

“2. The oldest empirical science in the world”
“3. A patterning of a person’s innate birth potentials”
Hewitt (ND, Page16).Then the author described the relation between the Natal chart with the planetary system “heaven and earth”
In the chapter “The philosophy of astrology “(ND, Page16). The author explained that the events on earth reflected in heavens and it’s like having a mirror that reflects events happened on earth which mainly depends on mathematical calculations. These calculations rely on the position of the planet, the time, their relationship with other planets and earth.
Hewitt described that the primary purpose of Natal astrology is to construct a horoscope chart. He showed the relation between the stars and their positions and the effect of that movement on our date, time, and place of birth.

" summary"

According to author Ken Wilber in his book “The marriage between sense and soul” (published in 1998, page 1), he stated the integration between science and religion and the relationship between them in the modern world and how is science discovering truth while religion is related to meaning and merge them together so they can be acceptable for each sides.
The author indicated that religion believes in spiritual side and the existence of big power that created the universe; In contrast science denies the importance of religion and its effect on human’s life cause science believes only in real facts. Ken Wilber (page2).
Religion as Wilber showed in “What do we mean by religion” (page5) that the word “religion” is hard to be explained because of the difference between all the religions in the whole world and their thoughts. But Wilder says that “if we cannot find a common core of the world’s great religions, then we will never find an integration of science and religion” (page5).The author quoted from Huston Smith from his book “Forgotten Truth” (page6) that there is universal religious belief in the Great Chain of being, “reaching from the matter to body to mind to soul to spirit” K. Wilber (page6), which is all series with in nets of being enclosed by God, but the collapse of the theory the nest of spirit was because it couldn’t stand up against the true facts of modern science which rely on evidence.
Wilber presented in “What is Modernity” (page 11) that science effects positively on the human beings life in all its medical, technical, industrial, and so many other fields. This differentiation of modernity helped in solving so many issues, the good results such as democracy, advanced medical science, no more slaves. But Wilder stated that the negative part of science was that the loss of meanings and the belief of the death of God, Wilber quoted from Marx Weber according to his summary phrase about the negative part of science “the disenchantment of the world” (page 11), the scientific “Materialism” emphasis only on the mater alone and refused the Greatness of matter, body, mind, soul, and spirit. K. Wilber (page 13).
The writer concluded that in order to integrate between science and religion, we have to “integrate the Great Chain with the difference notation of modernity” k. Wilber (page 18), and this integration could be done if the pre modern wisdom united the modern knowledge by understanding the modern mind.
