About Astrology

"We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust"

Jelalludin Rumi, 12th century Sufi mystical poet..

The night skies through which the planets appear to wander have long inspired humanity, relating us directly to the mystery of the cosmos we inhabit. The movement of the planets provides us with a unique set of ordered cycles in which are embedded the life processes of our body and soul. Knowledge about the various celestial bodies is translated by the astrologer into information both literal and symbolic. This serves a variety of purposes on different levels: practical, psychological or spiritual.

Both scientists and mystics alike have recognised that we live in a universe where everything is inter-dependent and interconnected. This being so, we are not 'fated' by influences from 'above', but rather we participate in the patterns of the sacred unfolding of Life itself. Astrology maps this, helping us to understand our lives within a cosmic perspective, which is in turn as intimate as the very cells of our bodies. We learn to attune more wisely to the cycles and seasons of the planets, and thus experience the benefit of living in harmony with the natural celestial cycles.

Drawing as it does on mankind's cumulative and profoundly mytho-poetic apperception of the cosmos we inhabit, astrology offers a potent language of human experience that is both deeply symbolic and universal, and at the same time intimate, personal and practical. Astrology is the living core of our legacy from the ancient wisdom traditions, and down the ages every culture on the planet has turned for guidance, inner and outer, to some form of 'star-lore'.

Your birth chart reflects and describes the unique qualities of essence rooted deep in your being, which seek inner acknowledgment and perhaps outer expression in life. In this sense, it directly reflects what your life is about, and why you are here.

It also indicates where and how this process may be impeded, locating your difficulties and clarifying your innate resources and gifts.

The outworking of these developmental soul-themes is indicated by the movement of the planets, through 'progressions' and 'transits', which represent both our challenges and our moments of Grace:

Transits describe the nature and duration of both outer changes and inner processes of transformation, and give clues as to how best to work with them.

Transits offer a 'cosmic weather report' which enable us to make more informed decisions which support us in the experience of living in harmony with the cosmic cycles.

Intuitive study of the current planetary patterns also reveals their inner meaning and symbolism, while offering a rich and subtle language of human experience.

There is divinatory tradition within astrology, and this is called 'Horary' (from the Latin word 'hora', meaning 'hour' or 'time'). Using this technique, it is sometimes possible to approach specific questions and issues in a precise and detailed way, finding out whether our intentions are favourably aligned with 'the time'. Ask about this.

Readings provide ample space for participation, questions and dialogue. If you are someone who enjoys talking about your process, and about 'soul matters', or if there are specific and detailed situations you wish to discuss at length, the longer session (90 min) may be more suitable for you. Shorter readings are usually sufficient for conveying basic information, or following up on a previous longer reading.
