Astrology
Creative visualisation, law of attraction, power of intention, and bending reality have become familiar terms over the last decade. They speak to personal power and the ability to magnetise and create the reality that we desire by recognizing we are energetic beings interacting with an energetic universe. This is a wonderful discovery for many and the widespread access to knowledge not long ago reserved only for initiates of occult and mystical schools/institutions and now backed by neuroscientific research avails the necessary tools and techniques to any who would make the choice to self-initiate. With Pluto (pure power) in Aquarius (the great equaliser), this process will only accelerate and the consequent dissipation of these teachings will be an essential stage in the evolution of collective consciousness. To single out AI as the boldest expression of the Aquarian archetype of our time is literally to see through one eye on purpose. The manifestors of this stunning technology, those fleshy, nervy shapes of blushes and tantrums are evolving just as quickly. Everything a human creates is merely a reflection of the state of human consciousness.
We will return to AI another day. For now I will just say that it is unwise to consider it the next big adversary and it is far more constructive for us all to anticipate that ultimately the highest good for us will make itself known through it, for whatever energy we choose to vibrate in, comes to be. Let us not choose apocalyptic frequencies please. This returns us to the discussion of manifestation.
There are many who may feel that astrology limits one’s manifestational capacities because of how an astrologer or certain books or blogs on astrology have described a person’s character and purpose. They may have received disappointing or discouraging information, which does not align with their desires and needs, which only serves to strengthen fear and doubt regarding fulfilment in life. The main reason for this is the vilifying and the misrepresentation of certain energies and aspects of the psyche collectively, more than individually. This harkens to astrology which is not aligned with Nature. One that is aligned serves to expand one’s potential, not encumber it.
A good astrological reading however, does provide incredibly precise and encouraging direction for our intentions. There are many, many people who actively attempt all sorts of manifestational practices at length and are left wondering why it does not work for them.
There are several reasons for this and teachers of vibrational manipulation most often remark that the method has not been correctly employed. Which is undoubtedly true, and knowing your chart can immensely accelerate the process by ensuring it is done correctly, and more easefully. Knowing one’s desires (clarity) in order to visualise them is often the first given instruction, and whilst we all want health, wealth (most of us), love, fun, and purpose, each of us imagine that differently. No two humans can have the same dream. At the same time, we have all been conditioned to think and believe many things that are detrimental to our growth and joyous movement in the world, which are the main culprits in the way of manifestation. Again, these limiting beliefs are much discussed in general, and there are many techniques available to help eliminate these and rewire the subconscious mind to become a partner of sublime abilities instead of a grinch working against us.
The information in your horoscope lets you know what your individual limiting or sabotaging beliefs are, where they stem from, how to release them, and why you need to release them.
It also can affirm your very personal dreams, desires, goals (often secret), and talents so that you feel free and able to pursue them, but more significantly it clarifies the vision and intention which is unique to you. It can take a long time for many to realise that their pursuits even if considered successful, were not truly their path. For others what are considered repeated failures can crush the spirit to a point of resignation.
An astrological reading is aptly called a reading, for it reads you your personal story, with an opportunity to see yourself from both a familiar and fresh perspective. This invites you to form a loving bond with your journey thus far as well as with the potential that lies ahead, and the feeling of this connection has a power that one can only experience and harness through this personal intimacy. Inspiration and encouragement from observing or learning from others will always fall second to the force of your own energetic signature, once recognised. Simply put it is a matter of authenticity, which is a basic premise for prosperity.
With a map in hand pointing you in the direction of your fulfilment you can significantly reduce time spent on figuring out and digging out the remnants of past trauma and conditioning as well as time spent on someone else’s intentions and desires. More swiftly than if without, these loving instructions will guide you toward that sweet and strange garden which is only yours to frolic about in this life.
We are often awaiting permission as well as encouragement to be all we can be, long after we have crossed the thresholds of parent’s homes, educational institutions, or any other form of authority or expertise that we still find wanting in ourselves. The birth chart is a love letter from the Universe cajoling and compelling you to be all you can be, assuring you that everything you need is already assembled, you need only ask, with your heart, and go forth fearlessly, because the only true authority present is your own energy.
