Astrology - Celestial Insights
In my early years, my grandmother often delved into astrology, highlighting our shared sign and playfully noting our natural flirtatious traits. As I embraced spirituality later in life, those childhood insights took on a deeper significance, serving as a constant reminder to live authentically and appreciate the balance astrology has brought throughout my journey. Self awareness is such a crucial part to living an authentic life, and astrology is an incredible self reflective tool. Rest assured, while I may not possess the mastery of astrology's intricacies, the Astrology 101 version I provide is tailored to assist you in whatever way you may need. Thus far, everyone I expose this to embrace its reminder, how it helps them begin their inward journey. Are you ready to see yourself?
The inclination of my sign towards a profound thirst for knowledge is noteworthy. In my extensive readings, including literature from the Toltecs like Don Miguel Ruiz, I encountered the phrase "Astrology is the metabolism of the universe." Now, what exactly is metabolism?
By definition though, Metabolism (pronounced: meh-TAB-uh-liz-um) is the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism. How does this fit the statement though?
Pause and reflect for a moment. This isn't straightforward, as the more you grasp it, a boundary blurs, and it starts to feel like you're recalling rather than merely learning. Consider this: scientific evidence supports the fact that about seventy-five percent of Earth's surface is covered in water. A parallel exploration might unveil a matching percentage of water within our individual physical bodies.
Coincidence?
Coincidentally, science can demonstrate the considerable influence of the moon on Earth's water. I ponder whether any research has delved into the extent to which the moon affects the water within our bodies as well.
Fear not; simply inquire of a police officer or nurse about their heightened activity during full moon cycles. This aligns with my understanding that astrology delves into the exploration of the impacts our bodies experience amidst the dynamic energy fluctuations or the gravitational interplay of celestial bodies within our solar system.
Hopefully, this provides some insight to open your perspective. It wasn't until my mid-forties that I began to view astrology as a tool for self-reflection. The revelation of learning so much about myself after living in this body for a while was truly remarkable. For instance, how I learn best is to be repetitive so I can soak up every bit of information. This in my birth chart, is described with the spot mercury was in the moment I took birth. It was in Taurus, and it was fun to see why I will listen to an album over and over, or read the same book repeatedly. Being informed moves my soul.
In essence, our birth charts capture a snapshot of the planetary alignment at the moment of our birth. What is your sun sign? Where was the sun the moment you took birth? Can you feel its guidance?
The option to add this to your journey will truly help however, if you already understand it enough, you’ll love how this tool helps us to be the much better witness. What do I mean, being the witness?
Lets go back to the physical body, and how throughout this website, the mind/body/spirit unity is crucial for us all to be in balance. The human body is an incredible tool for our souls to use to live in Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, we must start to accept that we, the souls are not our physical bodies.
When you think about it begins to make more and more sense that we, the souls are the energy that moves our bodies around. I could go on and list every body part and its uses, but for this topic lets talk about the physical mind. Would you agree that we are not the mind either, so what are we to the mind? First off the minds main job is to generate thoughts, right? So along this concept of the souls responsibility is to the physical body, do you resonate with the idea that we, the soul is the witness to its thoughts. How many thoughts has your mind generated since you first started reading this blog post. Even while typing my mind is straying off onto other things aside from my main focus.
If you truly think deep on this, I just gave you all the power you’ve ever wanted. Be the witness!, and be here now. It’s only in the now that you can make the best reactions to the many thoughts your mind generates at any given moment. It’s also why meditation is so important. It will help you learn to control your thoughts as opposed allowing them to control you.
