Astrology Lost and Found

Even though this is very basic information about the core of the Chart; before discovering unknown terrain, an explorer always maps out the basic “area” that will navigated, and later checks his compass for direction. For the second part of this discussion, we will cut our “Field” into two more sections, this time the left and right halves of the basic Chart circle. The left side ( purple ) of the circle represents one’s Individual Self, one’s personal treasures. Planets, points and Stars in this area are part of the person’s Selfhood, and hopefully the person knows of their dowry. But, as we mentioned our explorer above, this “bounty” may be locked away in treasure chests deep down in the hull of his ship or just like a fish which isn’t aware of the water surrounding it; a person may be unaware of these personal influences. Part of your job as an astrologer is to help your client discern the elements of this personal space and maybe even help them discover their hidden treasures. The ...

I always tell my students to learn the symbolism of the Moon very well. They look at me attentively thinking I’m going to tell them some great secret.

We tend to forget the 360° circle we call a Chart is actually a representation of a “field of activity” in this 3D reality. It’s just one field of many, but it is “the field” most Astrologers focus on. This is the "stage" we agreed to embody in when we are in physical incarnation "default mode." What is the basic outlay of this field? What is the consensus reality agreement according to most astrologers? Well, this pizza pie space and time field is first cut up into two sections: We agree that if a person is born with a lot of planets and activity going on, on the top half ( Blue ); their souls want to express in the outer world more than concentrate on inner work. You are going to advise them on how to be more effective in the outer world with whatever amount of realization or not they have about themselves. Specifically, "whatever they came in with;" they should live out to the nth degree in the outer world. If the person has a lot of activity and planet...
