EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE WITHIN YOURSELF

Astrology
and Tarot I have found that astrology and tarot are simply two different ways of connecting with the energy of the universe and realizing our personal connection to all that is. Other methods have included runes, reading tea leaves and searching for omens. In ancient Babylonia, ox entrails were a popular method of divination. I personally feel that these are all simply tools to achieve this same goal. As a
child who was always fascinated with the majesty of the night sky, astrology was
my initial fascination. Astrology
explores the associations between who we are, how we function, and what
potential opportunities and challenges are coming our way as this relates to the
Sun, Moon and the fixed stars. While
the traditional scientific paradigm of the 20th century assures us
there is no relationship, I believe that the physics of the 21st
century will conclusively prove otherwise.
The pioneering works of physicists such as David Bohm postulate the
existence of a vast energy field that connects all the particles in the
universe. All particles are thus continually interacting.
Hence, at the deepest levels, we are always connected to the entire
universe, as well as the past, present and all potential futures. Chaos
theory, another fascinating concept, that has already found many practical
applications, is the study of the invisible patterns that can be found in
apparently random events. Even more
interesting is the discovery that the part contains the whole.
A familiar example of this is a hologram.
If we cut a piece off a hologram, we can still recreate its three
dimensional image, although we will lose resolution. Similarly, all of us
contain the blueprint of the entire universe within each and every cell of our
bodies. Truly an amazing concept! So, the energy of the universe is a mirror for
who we are. This is what we
can learn from astrology. When we shuffle a tarot deck during a reading, the
deck at the deepest level is shuffling us as well, reflecting our energy and
current most probable potential outcome. These
amazing concepts have many invaluable practical ramifications.
I use astrology for myself and my clients to gain deeper insight into our
strengths, challenges, spiritual lessons and goals. I have
found that the techniques of relationship astrology offer a remarkably accurate
way to really delve into the complexities that can surface as we engage with
others, both romantically and on all other levels.
Although romantic relationships comprise a large part of my relationship
work, I am often asked to look at the charts of children and babies.
I love to do this work because it is so helpful. I look to see the birth potential of the child, their soul
purpose, their style of learning etc. I
also compare the parent’s charts to the child’s chart to provide
understanding into future family dynamics.
My clients have told me that the information and insight they received
from their readings yielded almost immediate positive results with their
children. Astrology
provides us with many wonderful ways to look at the timing of future events
(prediction). I use transits, solar arc directions, eclipses and horary
astrology among other techniques to determine future opportunities and
challenges. Horary
astrology is a wonderful means to provide very specific details for a
client’s questions. If an event
has unfolded so that there is a strong potential outcome that exists, horary
will spell it out! Horary is the
Latin word for hour. I prepare a chart for the minute that my client asks me
their question. The planets, Sun
and Moon symbolize the client, others involved in the question and their
actions. Horary astrology dates
back to William Lilly in the 1600’s. His famous book, Christian Astrology is
still the classic text on the subject. For me,
the tarot is inherently much more intuitive.
Although all of the cards have particular meanings, I find tarot to be a
wonderful way to really open up my psychic portals.
As an avid tarot deck collector and photographer, I appreciate the many
beautiful variations on a theme that tarot artists create. When I
read for clients, I use a mix of my psychic abilities, astrology and tarot.
I speak with client’s spirit guides, higher selves and their relatives
who have crossed over. I am still
amazed at how accurate the information that I receive is. It is my belief that I am always reading the strongest possible potential future at this time for my clients and myself. I feel that we always retain our free will and have the ability to manifest positive changes. That is the path of soul growth!
