Discovering astrology as a teen was therapeutic for me and studying and practicing astrology continues to play a therapeutic, guiding, and transformative role in my life.
Above the entrance to the ancient temple of the Oracle of Delphi was the saying, "Know Thyself". Many philosophies encourage the ultimate wisdom of Self Knowledge. Astrology, at maybe its best as it is currently most commonly employed, can be a wonderful tool for Self Knowledge, effectively poeticizing peoples identities to them. At the level of birth chart interpretation of personalities and life patterns, its simply miraculous how awesome and healing it can feel to just have someone tell you about your Self or listen to you talk about yourself. Beyond birth chart analysis, astrology continues to be for me a tool of Self Knowledge in terms of the larger Self, the Ecological Self, the Self that is one with all. It is my wish that I will be able to use the tool of astrology to help people to know and accept their-selves, their loved ones, their lives and the world at large more completely and live more full lives more in tune with the currents of the cosmos! |
