| The Spark of the Creator resides in all of us as our individualized Soul. The Soul's only purpose is to expand in Heart awareness until inner Union is achieved and we are once again able to bathe in the Divine Love of the Source. Spirit is on a vast journey through all dimensions (classrooms) of experience, as it seeks to speed up it's vibration so as to transform matter back into Light. The Ascension!..... or as quantum physics has shown that matter and energy are interchangeable. Each time we achieve inner Balance/outer Harmony in the current "reality" our Hearts open further thereby accelerating our frequency. In this journey, Earth is like the "Ivy League" school of evolution, where the lessons take place on the deepest levels of physical density and polarity. Imagine choosing to do your regular physical workout underwater for the next 300 lives. But such intensity also gives a more profound and quicker learning of lessons that would take eons in other dimensions. For this reason only a small percentage of all Souls will choose such a "curriculum", but those that do get to move onto other adventures. Kind of gives you some idea of what we've gotten ourselves into ;O) One of the key concepts that we encounter in metaphysics is "Your belief creates your Reality". This essentially means that what you believe (how you view life) is eventually what you will draw to you. In other words, we are what we think. And, ultimately, there are only two fundamental ways of looking at life on Earth from a subjective level. We can choose to view life as random and mysterious where we often feel powerless and even victimized by events and others, as do many people at this time. Or, the only alternative outlook would be that we live in a benevolent, ordered universe where each of us has a purpose to fulfill, a "raison d'etre". All other choices start from here and in psychology this happens at the infant stage of trust vs. mistrust. Let's expand further on this second view that there is conscious purpose to the events of our lives, that we are in ultimate control of our destinies, and that we are not victims but rather explorers. The Soul chooses specific lessons which it then works on in stages (semesters) through a series of lives. We will develop a talent for several lives, bring it to a peak and then move on to the next field that we want to explore. My favorite example is Mozart composing music at the age of four, that being his peaking lifetime. Before birthing on Earth this time your Soul carefully chose the ideal experiences, circumstances, talents and relationships that would lead to successful learning of the current stage of the lesson. Just think of the preparations you would need to make before you went on a long journey to a new land. You would first plan your itinerary in detail. Then you would want to acquire the appropriate clothing (body) and equipment (abilities) necessary for each stage of the trip. Hopefully, you would carefully select companions to share your journey with. Ideally, you would arrange to meet up with the right people at various places that could guide you to the most fulfilling experiences. Once we are immersed in the density and intense drama of this world, though, we become tunnel-visioned and lose sight of the bigger picture. As we slow down our vibration to experience on Earth we lose touch with the higher frequency of Soul awareness. Through infinite compassion and wisdom the Creator has given us various gifts/tools to assist us remedy this amnesia. Of all these gifts that I've explored Astrology has provided the most far-reaching and intricate perspectives. In the example of our trip, it would be easy to get so immersed in the various new locales and experiences so as to forget the larger plan and timetable. All we would need to do is to refer back to the original itinerary and map to find our way again. This was the original, and still is, the true purpose of Astrology. Remember, though, that the real goal is to develop inner awareness and intuition to guide us rather than needing external crutches. The whole point of descending into matter was to master duality through achieving internal Harmony/Balance. "Neo, you've already made the choice. Now you are here to understand it" the Oracle in "the Matrix" At this point I'd like to bring up a question we all ponder, that of fate vs. free will. As with all opposites, the Truth lies somewhere in the middle and both exist simultaneously. A friend once said to me "when faced with either /or.....try to make it and". What comes to us (fate) is created by our past choices and how we choose (free will) to act now will then create our future. Every single experience that comes at us "out of the blue" is manifested by the Self for a purpose/learning. This is what is called Fate or Destiny, and it is already written, by none other than You before putting on the blinders. We truly do live in the matrix of the Soul! Our Souls teach us through the lesson of free-will and choices in the constant flow of Life. As long as we continue reacting from old ways of being (habit patterns) the same dilemmas keep reappearing. The players may change but the game remains the same. This is because our Souls will continue to present us with the same situation, hoping we'll make a different choice.............. based on the present moment rather than a past memory. Nonetheless, only our journey is written, not the destination (end result) which is determined by our free will and how quickly we comprehend and master any situation. Being true to our Self in the present moment automatically assures our success in our future or as Seth likes to say, "The point of Power is in the Now". Through becoming selfaware in each moment we shine the light of our Consciousness on the darkness of our old patterns and free ourselves. This ends the need for disruptive experiences to come at us through the external dramas of life. Man,Know Thyself ! has always been the name of the game. To achieve this we need to energize/awaken the Witness/Observer which exists within each of us. This only requires a few seconds, several times each day, being completely present in the Now............ without getting stuck in a previous Now. This meditative process is the path to reclaiming our Destinies. The Birth Chart ancient Astrology for the future The birth chart is invaluable in providing us with the ultimate owner's manual for our Life, a detailed outline of the "game-plan" of the Soul. Our horoscopes represent our electro-magnetic blueprint (or Aura) which then determines what types of experiences we will magnetize and draw to ourselves. The first half of the session focuses on the "why, what and who" of our current path. It provides practical information on the Higher Self's purpose for returning to Earth, which is usually two-fold.......perfecting past life talents/gifts; and correcting Karmic imbalances. These seemingly separate tasks tie in with each other as our greatest tests ultimately become our greatest gifts/inspiration to others. Psycho-Spiritual tools to address these imbalances/fixations are recomended on both mind and body levels. The second half is predictive and focuses on the"where and when"of the journey. Once we understand the issues facing us, and have tools to deal with them, we then look at the timing of these issues. The true purpose of prediction is to alert us to what's next on the Soul's agenda................ so that we can catch the wave and surf all the way to shore........ meaning we achieve the optimum potential of the experience. Otherwise, knowing the future is pointless since it's going to happen anyway. The sooner we get the lesson the sooner it ends hence the need to understand why an event is happening to us rather than only knowing when it's going to happen. Vedic Astrology utilizes a unique system of phenomenally accurate long-term lifecycles. Using these we can easily paint a broad picture of the next 15-20 years. This helps us to understand which specific lesson the Soul is focusing on over a number of years. Combining this with modern western techniques then leads to a more detailed understanding of the next several years. Relationships Because the lessons on Earth are of the Heart our relationships provide the greatest arena for growth. As there are several factors involved my approach is a multi-level analysis using Eastern and Western systems. Most importantly, our birth chart provides a clear and specific profile of the people we will need to meet in this life. This is usually either to complete some Karma, or often because the other has specific qualities that we need to be around to learn and grow. Knowing your relationship profile will allow you to understand more quickly why you are with a partner in the first place. The sooner we understand our Karma/lessons around relationships the sooner we stop attracting the "challenging" ones and get to have recess and play with more harmonious and supportive Soulmates. After understanding the profile I move onto the more traditional approach of "matching" two people's charts. This involves analyzing the degree of energetic compatibility with another on mind,body and Spirit levels. Another, newer approach, is to understand the third entity created when two people interact. In every relationship there is an I, a You and a We. Examining the "We" chart allows us to see past-life patterns between couples as well as the deeper potential or purpose of the union. And finally, Time is a crucial factor in any manifestation on the Earth plane. It is essential to know if both people are currently in an ideal lifecycle to (a)meet a partner and (b)to fully embrace a relationship. Astro-Mapping When we move from one location to another the energetic emphasis and focus of our birth chart changes. Imagine a color wheel in front of a spotlight. Each color here would represent a different field of activity, lessons and growth. As we move either east or west from our birthplace the wheel rotates and a different hue fills the stage of life. Many of us have experienced an immediate affinity to some places and an aversion to others. This technique places your birthchart on maps to provide an in-depth understanding of your personal "ley-lines" to show how different locations will impact various areas of your life. An amazingly accurate tool of western astrology that I've been using for 20 years and still immensely enjoy exploring. |

| The views expressed here are my beliefs and are meant to provide clients with an understanding of my approach. The information I provide to clients from their birthcharts is in a format that can easily be adapted to any belief system.These views are not meant to impinge on or replace anyone's belief system unless and until it resonates within them. In fact, all information that you receive from the outer world should be validated internally. Unfortunately, our "sixth sense" is highly undervalued, and even actively suppressed in childhood by our world and so it needs to be consciously re-activated, thereby accelerating our journey. The primary purpose of this page is not geared towards attracting clients, but to introduce newer clients to myself and my perspective in consciousness raising. It will also provide existing clients with updated information on changes and additions to my approach over time. Finally, it will allow the thousands of people I have connected with over the years to stay in touch with me as my own journey progresses. |
