This subject is vast.
I’m going to begin with my own perspective. I mean, seriously, what else do I have?
I have been fascinated with Astrology since I was a very
young girl. I was raised in two
different environments. One was within a
fear-based, religious, doctrine and the other was within liberal expressions of
belief. I ended up indulging my
interest in Astrology and many other subjects in private based on the fear I
was conditioned with as a child. No
judgments about my childhood. It was
what it was. We all have our “stuff” and
I choose to move on. I make these
statements in order to provide background information.
For me, Astrology has evolved. In my early years I eagerly awaited Cosmo’s
Bedside Astrologer filled with hope that all my “Sex in the City” dreams would
come true. Later I left behind a lot of
the divination aspects of Astrology and concentrated more on the psychological /
archetypal representations and how this combination of art and science could
help me understand who I am. Recently, I
have found a connection between Christianity and Astrology and I find it
completely intriguing. Here are some
links for those interested in researching further: Bill Donohue http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/, Santos Bonacci http://universaltruthschool.com/
Having said all this, I returned to the divination aspect of
Astrology. I have a favorite app I use
and I enjoy the interaction. I do
occasionally order a transit report or look at other sources for what is
coming. I prefer to know what energy is
in the air so I can discern what is my stuff and what is cosmic.
Every once in a while I look at an upcoming transit and get
that collective “ruh-roh” rush of energy feeling. Then I realize that choosing to focus on
hardships only creates more hardships. Switch! Recently I saw a big warning sign indicating
a Saturn and Moon confrontation within my transit chart that portends difficulties. *cue dramatic music* At first I felt panic then I realized it was
unnecessary and I surveyed the situation from several different views until I
came to the one that worked for me.
After doing that, I realized that the prediction was
actually a report of what I had gone through less than 24 hours prior. I sailed through it with flying colors.
Thank you!
