USE ASTROLOGY TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND USE HOROSCOPS TO DIRECT YOUR LIFE

"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more" ~ Carl Jung 

Personal Story

I didn't grow up learning Astrology in school or from home. I took it up on my own, curious first about how the moon affects water. Knowing how much of our bodies are made up of water, and hearing of the Dr Masaru Emoto Hado Water Crystals experiments, well my mind kept on spinning those theories.

Above is a small introduction to the experiments that prove that water can translate and transform not only it's shape, but it's molecular structure. The tide is controlled by the moon on a daily basis I heard one day. And these two things got me thinking about the pull and the influence of the planets. After a few books and a few thoughtful insights into myself, and I was quickly becoming an Astrologer. 

Astrology in History

Once I started to understand how far back this study of psychological influence from the planets went, I started to understand the world and people much clearer. I started to study myself and then my life as I was living it, on a daily basis. The traits go very deep, and have been studied and used longer than any other psychology study of any kind. This was the creation of the clock, calendar, mathematics, and tied together with  personality and psychology studies. Thousands of years BC, some of the greatest minds of all time, studied the stars for understanding of their journeys. Billionaires and officials of today use astrologers to help make major decisions and strategize global changes and decisions. 

So what’s to keep you from knowing yourself and the world around you and how it is being influenced and guided?

Horoscope’s Negative Nancy

"The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world, unconsciously remembers it, and remains sensitive to the return of configurations of a similar kind. " ~ Johannes Kepler, Harmonies of the World

The biggest, most common statement I get from Negative Nancy that tries to “tear down” my belief in horoscopes immediately is “What the hell does my birth time have to do with reading a horoscope in today’s newspaper, they are totally irrelevant!”

A daily horoscope isn't telling you about your birth time, it is doing exactly what you think it is. A daily horoscope generalizes what is happening in the current day, referring to where the planets are at this time and how their relationships are effecting us here today. It’s telling us how to relate to them as individuals, by reading “your sign” horoscope. So yes, it is generalized and should suit everyone that reads it, because we are all being effected by the same planets on the same day.

Once they understand this, hopefully the Negative Nancy who tried to tear me down before I even get started, realizes that is a pretty ignorant statement to make about astrology right from the get-go like that. Especially because reading under your sign, is meant to make the planets of the day “relevant to you”, more than reading an “unfamiliar” sign. (It’s like wearing someone else’s shoes, even if you can put them on, it doesn't mean you want to wear them all day…)

Understanding a Horoscope on a Daily-Basis

"Millionaires don't have astrologers, billionaires do." ~ J.P. Morgan

What horoscope authors do is take in the planetary horoscope of all signs, and then identify the “traits” and personality of the day. They then relate those energies and general influences into a more defined expectation of the day presented to best suit that personality. This is so that it will be understood and utilized better. Other things can influence that sign more than others, and in which house those signs are entering may have a different influence over your social life, rather than your emotional well being for example.

I read my sun sign, then my moon sign, then my rising.

I read my sun sign to know how I’ll really feel. I read my moon sign to know how my emotions are going to handle those feelings. And I read my rising sign to know how I will react to those feelings. My Venus and Mars signs will tell me more about how I might take action or have passion about those feelings. And I’ll rely on Mercury to tell me how I should communicate my feelings to the world.

Personal Closing

After watching and reading my horoscope and studying intensely for over a year, I began to rely on the information for general use, security and making important decisions about what to focus on. Being careful not to go “against the tide” of the Moon.

By using the tips and general flow of how the planets are interacting, it can help to lead you into each lesson that life has to offer. It helps to pay attention to life as well. To take action with your brain, actively thinking, planning and opening yourself to the expression that will come through in that day. The expectation is set, mind is over matter and with the help of Astrology, I have managed to create myself a life I enjoy. And create new, each and every day.

EXTREME EMPATHY AND LEARNING ABOUT THE BODY MIND CHANGED MY LIFE

I grew up thinking that the brain controls the body. That my soul didn't belong to me, that God owns my soul. And that not all science could be trusted or understood. I grew up thinking that there were too many questions to ever have real answers. This is what I came to understand.

Now, I am no science major or psychic, only a human being that has always felt a deep connection with people, an extreme empathy for others. I have adaptability when it comes to people and understanding their emotions. In other words, I can try on many different shoes. If they are strong emotions of positive energy or negative energy, I often feel them inside myself. Because of this, I have learned to control feelings and “let go” of negative emotions, especially those that are not my own.

I have been fascinated by human beings, physiological psychology, body mind studies and many other scientific alternatives since I was young, but I never did well in Science Class. At that age I don’t think I could think farther than “Why do I need to know this?”, instead of asking the question, “What am I and how do I work?” That came later.

Psychology and Biology in High School can be interesting when you get to dissecting frogs and learning about the skeleton. Of course, because it involves student engagement. I always thought that it would be more entertaining though, loving people so much and all being in science class. But no. To my disappointment, it was all definitions and memorizing the right sentences for tests, taking class notes, never about realizing what it meant to our lives and how we worked. Never about student engagement, and I have strong emotions about this. There was a serious lack of student engagement or real life practice and examples that left a solid learning impression! Luckily I passed the general education classes, although it was not as interesting of a learning process as I would have liked and have had to relearn a lot of my childhood education.

I grew up thinking that the brain controls the body. That my soul didn't belong to me, that God owns my soul. And that not all science could be trusted or understood. I grew up thinking that there were too many questions to ever have real answers.

As a young human being with extremely empathy and strong emotions for other people as well as myself, I began to wonder and question life as I knew it. Questioning what the body mind really was and what I was capable of with "The Secret" positive thinking. I started reading e books and studying new scientific research books, practicing positive thinking with my body mind and brain exercises to increase brain functionality for learning new things. I began to look at myself and my body mind, differently every day.I began to create my own reality.

There are a few books that really changed by life and created very strong emotions in me. I realize now that we live in a day and age where information, scientific answers, and alternative health options are everywhere and most often, very easily accessible. From anywhere!  I began to create my own reality and use it to my advantage. I took it upon myself to gain new learning skills that I didn't learn in science class by putting myself through online self schooling. I began to realize that my extreme empathy could be used to help influence other people. That there were books and e books, online education programs and free lesson plans out there that teach techniques to change your life.

I have since found some of these books and have learned to control my strong emotions and create my own reality. But also, to remain in the moment and calm when my extreme empathy takes in other people's energy. Meaning that I not only control my own , but those around me who had strong emotions at the time. To know how my body mind works and reacts, is very important to my human functionality.

College always haunts my mind. Feeling like I could really use the degree, and for family to finally have a way to be proud of me. All parents deserve some bragging rights about their kids, especially their eldest child. Well, I realize that these just aren't good enough reasons to alter my reality. I feel that life teaches you what you need to know. We're lucky in this age that all you have to do is to know how to type your question and scan articles to learn about something you are interested in. Instantly you are an educated human being. I'm telling you, online self schooling. This has been enough for me so far, especially considering that I haven’t considered my interests in body mind sciences, psychology, biology, alternative medicine, etc. as something I want to do as a career.

Follow along as I provide some answers that I have learned from my own experiences, or re-capture the lessons from great books or movies so that you may learn their life changing messages. You will find links to purchase these books, e books or additional content. These usually will be affiliate links. A percentage of your purchase will come back to me so that I can provide more detailed content, a better presentation and you will be helping to promote the messages you hear of here.
