A lot of people are reluctant when it comes to astrology. They don’t quite “get it”. Or, even worse, they “don’t really believe in it”. By lack of scientific evidence, of course.
And yet, people are doing a lot of things without the slightest scientific evidence. And they’re doing them every day. Did you know why you’re sleeping, for instance? Do you have some scientific evidence regarding sleep? Science may explain you the downside of not getting enough sleep, but it won’t tell you WHAT is sleep. And still, you’re sleeping every day (at least I hope you do).
We tend to give in too much to this verifiable scientific approach. Too many parts of our lives are scrutinized and explained by science. Even the ones that shouldn’t.
Predictions Are About The Context
I studied astrology for the last 5 years. I think I studied a few hundreds natal charts so far. And I also had a few dozens in person readings. I don’t make a living out of this. I don’t charge people for it. I do it for the sake of it and because I’m incurably curious.
Each and every in person reading started with a question regarding the future of a certain outcome. Will I make money within 5 years from now? Will I break up with my fiance? Will I have a fantastic career? All those questions pertained to something in the future.
And to all the people with whom I worked, I told the same thing: astrology is just a context. If you really want to go from A to B, you’ll eventually get there. Astrology can only tell you something about the weather. If it will be sunny and worm, you may get there faster. If it will be rainy and stormy, you may be delayed. And if there will be some serious hurricanes, you may have a really, really hard time to get there: you’ll lose your house, your car and maybe your health will be seriously damaged. But the bottom line is that if you really want to go from point A to point B, you’ll get there. This has nothing to do with astrology.
The predictive astrology is way overrated. The imminence of a certain event is highly exaggerated. Or, to be more precise, is highly misunderstood. Any prediction astrology may give is related to a context of a specific event, not to an event in itself. The predictions may tell you that it will be windy, so your actions should be more solid. Or it will tell you that it will be so warm that you can get melted. That’s the core of a correct astrological prediction.
If You Can’t See It, It Doesn’t Mean It Isn’t There
But the whole astrological approach requires a little bit of a shifting in perception. This whole new level of invisible – and scientifically impossible to prove – energy is acting with or without our consent. The same way weather is acting without our consent. We can try to control it. With huge costs and incredible efforts we may force the rain to came into the desert, but in the long term this activity is not sustainable. Or we may adapt and adjust. We may try to understand how the forces of cold and warm, of wet and dry, of storms and hurricanes can form, can grow and how they are affecting out context.
And then, we may chose our path accordingly.
