PEACE IS the new measure of success.

TRUTH IS the new security.

JOY IS the new status symbol."

Why Astrology? 
Like all Sanskrit words, the niyama (internal relationships),
svadhyaya, has many meanings. Similar to the ancient Greek aphorism, "know thyself," it's the process of inquiring into your own nature and understanding your purpose. Svadhyaya is also the study of ancient texts and relating them to your life.

That's where the art and science of astrology comes in, as it accomplishes both things at once. By studying your strengths and weaknesses through the lens of these ancient teachings (astrology dates back to second millennium BC), you gain a better understanding of who you are and how you relate to the world.

 

For many people, their only exposure to astrology is through the horoscope column in newspapers or magazines. While it can be entertaining, there's a lot more to astrology than a paragraph about how your day or your month will be.

 

Your astrological chart is a planetary blueprint as unique as your fingerprint. Think of it like a road map to help navigate the vicissitudes of life. Keep in mind, we have free will - we can choose to work with what comes naturally to us, or we can fight against it. Through astrology, we learn how to play to our strengths and minimize our weaknesses.

 

Astrology also helps make sense of the topsy-turvy world we live in. In the late 1960's, we saw the tumultuous Uranus - Pluto conjunction (meaning conjoined). We all know how that turned out! Now we're in the midst of the Uranus - Pluto square (a 90-degree angle). These two heavy hitters don't play well together in the sandbox as it is, and a square is a challenging aspect. Read or watch the news these days and you'll see the effect these planets are having on the world. Where they are transiting (moving through) your birth chart will indicate the life areas that may be agitated for you personally.

 

If you have a desire to understand yourself better, look beyond the newspaper horoscope column. You can find free charts on-line - you'll need an as accurate birth time as possible for the best results (check your birth certificate). I'm available for readings (by Skype for out-of-towners), or come to my Astro 101 workshop (info below) and learn how to DIY. Astrology is a great way to "know thyself."

 

May the stars shine brightly upon you!

 

Namaste,

 

Debbie
