Working as one of the professional astrologers at Ask The Answer, I often come across some misconceptions about the true power of astrology. To many the word ‘Astrology’ conjures up an image of vague horoscopes printed in the back of a magazine or newspaper. As in many areas, the mainstream media has taken a hand in discrediting an amazingly insightful and specific area of expertise. In fact, professional astrologers work in great details with charts created to exact times and locations. An experienced astrologer can advise you in areas of your life that you may never have even considered!
It was customary in the past to consult a personal astrologer. All the royal courts had at least one, and a lot of influential people still secretly consult an astrologer to this day. The truth is, although we may not be able to substantiate quite how astrology work, there is a lot to suggest that it does. In fact, Napoleon famously lost no conflicts until he went against the advice of his astrologer. Here are some ways that astrological advice can change your life:
Analyzing Your True Birth Chart
Did you know the word ‘horoscope’ actually means to observe (scope) time (horo – the same word used for hour). It has less to do with astrological signs or glyphs and more to do with creating a personal report. By looking at the chart for somebody’s exact time of birth (something called the ‘natal chart’) we can tell you much about your talents, family, career and character.
Predictions & Trends
Whilst we are not spiritually permitted to predict the lottery numbers, by looking at your natal chart we can gauge a lot of information about different events that have or will occur in your life. We don’t just look at the future, we often begin our analysis in the past, as by looking at childhood events we can ascertain more about the person you have become and the kinds of situations you are more likely to find yourself in. It is normal for us to predict career changes, when you will meet the love of your life and many, many other things of great importance.
Choosing Your Wedding Date or Business Inauguration
Just as a person will have a chart that may be referred to as their ‘start in life’, so an important event chart can be drawn up in the same way. People in ‘the know’ will consult an astrologer before choosing a wedding date, deciding the start date for a business, or planning a home move. Just like a natal chart, these charts can be used to analyze a relationship and the kinds of events that will occur in a marriage. This can sometimes be the difference between harmony and great tension in the years to follow. In just the same way, the chart for the date and time a business is set up can be the difference between success and failure.
Finding lost Items
There is a branch of Astrology which we call “electional” and is based upon pulling up a chart in response to a particular question. This is surprisingly useful and is based upon the energy of the question already having the answer inherently linked, which makes a lot of sense on a quantum level! Electional astrology is often used for finding lost items, but it can be used for a huge array of queries.
Predict Large-Scale Events
The links between astrological phenomena and wide-scale political events are very clear. Political or ‘mundane’ astrologers will use charts that correlate to the ‘birth’ of a country, region or state on the basis of when it was last named, or significantly altered. For instance the ‘birth’ for the USA is taken from the declaration of Independence in 1776. This shows the Sun in Cancer and by analysing this chart against the current and future positions of the planets, we can predict changes. For instance at the time of the Wall Street Crash in 1929; Pluto the planet of change, destruction and other people’s finances, was transiting over the USA’s Sun in Cancer! Five months later Pluto was officially discovered.
Understand Your Family and Childhood
Just as we can often see life and death in a horoscope, we can also gain an idea of the kind of family you have and the relationships held therein. By using a special predictive tool called ‘Solar Arcs’, (invented and mastered by the late, great astrologer Noel Tyl) we can determine dates and times of big events in your life. This is particularly powerful for the early years, as even small changes affect us during the years of our core development.
Identifying Soulmate Relationships
Astrology is amazingly insightful where it comes to personal relationships. We can identify common ground, communication strengths and weaknesses, chemistry and the pinnacle points of change and development. Relationships are all about being open to growing together and astrology can help you find a nourishing, soulful connection. It’s not so much about whether you are fated to be together and have met in other lives, but about the weak areas you may have as a couple and how you can use your stronger areas to work on these. No matter how ‘meant to be’ a relationship is, the commitment to work on being closer and stronger as a unit is the hallmark of a ‘soulmate relationship.’ The astrological chart maps the birth of the body, so whilst we can ascertain the soul path in this life and the compatibility to two partners, only a very experienced astrologer can say whether you should be together. We will tell you why you are together and sometimes indicate this is a passing connection or, if the love is present from both parties, that this is a long-term bond.
