Empaths and the stars
Astrology: are we making a ruckus among the stars, or are they making a ruckus down here? ~Mason Cooley
Empaths have a heightened sensitivity to energy. You take sensory perception and respond in some way. Energy flows through everything, like the force in Star Wars. All things are made of energy. The form that something physically takes depends on its rate of vibration. Similarly, there are vibrations of emotional energy. You relate to or react to an energetic vibration depending on whether you are vibrating from a lower or higher vibration (chakra energy and its archetypes). How does astrology fit in? What information does astrology have to offer you? What experiences attract you?
Astrology is just a finger pointing to reality. ~ Steven Forrest
Think of it this way: we are all connected and here we have an individual experience. What is inside is also projected outside. As above, so below… Astrology can act like a mirror that shows you the big picture, the macro view. A really good astrologer will tell you how the planets move and what themes are activated. Themes because the planets are archetypal, actors on a universal stage. It sets the tone or the mood, does that mean you respond by reacting? Do you become part of the play?
The starry vault of heaven is truly the open book of cosmic projection… ~Carl Jung
The microvision is how you and your individual experience are unfolding. Do you need to be activated? Do you need to learn or have a particular experience for your growth and evolution? If you’re proficient, or just don’t need experience, then the game will play out and you’ll watch without participating. If you need it, then the stage is yours and the planets will offer you a network of lines. Here’s the good thing, you can improvise. You are always in control of how you respond. Free will is an amazing thing! Each zodiac sign has an archetype that reflects a stage of development. Therefore, the lens through which you see the world is colored.
Astrology is like a deep ocean…anyone can gain knowledge by diving deep into the water and get a few drops of nectar from this divine knowledge. ~ONKARLAL SHARMA PRMAD, Astrology and its usefulness
Astrology is a tool for your empathic toolbox. It is not a daily prediction of fortune, a kind of mandate with which you are chained. Rather, it acts as a thermostat that measures the collective we and the individual you. See it as your energetic weather report. Do you need an umbrella today? If you are on stage, then consciously choose your lines. You have been given a leading role and the opportunity to reflect on yourself, grow and evolve… if you wish. Give her a stellar performance!
Choosing an astrologer is like choosing a trusted advisor, do it with discernment. The difference is someone who knows astrology and someone who understands astrology. Big difference. A good reference can be found at Starself.com, where there are some juicy nuggets in the archives.
