				<title>Astrology Is Not the Goal – It Is a Means

Astrology can be fascinating. We can spend years studying signs, houses, aspects, transits, directions, fixed stars, and midpoints, constantly discovering new techniques and interpreting charts with ever greater precision. But at some point, it is worth asking a simple question: what is all of this for?

If astrology merely increases the amount of information we have about ourselves without changing the way we live, then perhaps we have learned a great deal about astrology without necessarily becoming more conscious.

A natal chart can describe our patterns, needs, fears, talents, conflicts, and automatic reactions with remarkable precision. But its greatest value should not lie in explaining why we are the way we are. Far more important is its ability to help us notice where we live mechanically and where a different choice may be possible.

This is where astrology stops being the goal and becomes a means.

If a person recognizes that they keep repeating a certain pattern, an astrological explanation can help them identify it. But that is where the real work begins. It is not enough to say, “That’s just my Saturn,” “It’s because of my Moon,” or “That’s the kind of Mars I have.” An astrological symbol should not become an excuse for behavior. It should become a starting point for self-observation.

This is also where one of astrology’s traps appears. Some astrologers and astrology enthusiasts can become so absorbed in charts, techniques, and interpretations that astrology itself becomes a new form of identification. Instead of using it to free themselves from patterns, they begin using those patterns to explain everything. Every event becomes a transit, every feeling an aspect, every problem a “difficult Saturn,” and every relationship a synastry configuration.

At that point, astrology no longer leads toward greater awareness. It becomes a closed system that explains everything but changes nothing.

A person can develop a highly sophisticated astrological vocabulary and still remain completely trapped in their own automatic patterns. They may be able to explain perfectly well why they get angry, why they choose certain partners, or why they repeatedly enter the same conflicts, and yet continue repeating all of it.

Knowing about a pattern is not the same as being free from it.

Perhaps the most mature way to use astrology, then, is to view the natal chart as a mirror rather than an identity. A mirror shows us something about ourselves, but we do not live inside the mirror. We look, we notice something, and then we continue living with greater awareness.

Astrology can show us where attention is needed, where repetitive programs are hidden, where we most easily lose presence, and where we can develop new ways of expressing ourselves. But astrology itself cannot take that step for us.

We can know our own chart down to the very last aspect and still react completely unconsciously.

On the other hand, we can understand a few key symbols and use them as daily reminders for self-observation.

That is the essential difference.

Astrology then ceases to be a system that tells us who we are and becomes a method that helps us see who we have become, how we function, and where there is room to become something more than our own automatic patterns.

Perhaps the greatest paradox appears when astrology does its job well.

Gradually, we need it less and less in order to remain present.

Because the goal is not to become a person who explains everything in life through astrology.</title>

				<title>Being rooted in inner world is very important. One thing I learned is that trying to root your self from outer world doesn’t work. The roots don’t hold together. They get weak etc. rooting your self allow your to grow stronger and shed old skin and bark. This is key to yr growth. You can’t keep living on old broken soil and bad roots. It leads to bitterness etc. it lead to chaos and chasing yr own ego. Rooting yr heart center allows for the divine in you to flow. There no forcing it. You can’t control it the flow. I try for years. Being rooted for me brings fresh energy and a new perspective of my own journey. I can let go of what is no longer serving me. In the solitude of own self. We can be together in our silence soul community. Where we find ourselves and our voices. Then we shine that bright light to others. We allow the divine in our hearts to create something beautiful and powerful. That is our ongoing creation story. It our awakening to create us as beautiful beings.</title>

				<title>What do you think about the recent alignment of Russia, North Korea and China? 

Lets try to be open and not falling into polarity by talking too much about politics, but instead by talking about Energy. As I feel that we are all awaken souls here, we surely all agree that  universe is based on diversity and not homegenousity.

Looking forward to read you!</title>
