Advantage E-Zine - January 21, 2002
I think one of the things that "gets" to me the most in Astrology is
the fatalistic approach that in effect says, "There is nothing you
can do; you're fated to become old, sick and poor." I've had
Astrologers interpret my chart in such a way, and I've heard horror
stories about others who have had the same experience. Just recently
a client asked me, "Is there something in my chart that promises
that I'll have a comfortable and
enjoyable home?" This reminded me that it can never be repeated
enough that your chart is not "fated", and that your free will can
effect change.
One of the most often asked questions are about money. "Will I have
a windfall?" "Can you give me winning lottery numbers?" (To that one
I always say that if I could, I'd do it myself and would not be
charging money for this!) "Will I have enough to live on by
such-and-such a time?" The answer is simple and always the same
(except for the lottery one): "Yes, as soon as you change your
consciousness." It really applies to any
issue – health, love, etc.
There is no metaphysical law that you are doomed to stay in the
confines of your chart pattern. Your chart shows your consciousness
as you have made it when you were born. It is only a starting point
and a roadmap. It shows what you believed when you were born. What
you believe really does "appear" in front of you. If you believe
that "money doesn't grow on trees", "a penny saved is a penny
earned" or any other cliche that limits your vision, then you are
going to find that it is true for you. Well, then, you might say,
why bother with charts?
You don't have to bother with charts, actually, but they are
valuable for guidance and clarity. It's like having a light that
illumines your path. Your chart will clearly show where you may have
a poverty consciousness, how entrenched it is and why it is there.
That is a great asset in deciding how to approach a solution.
Secondly, it is a timing device. Some times are better than others
for taking action in any situation, and further, it can even show
you the kind of action to take! It is a tremendous gift God has
given us.
Another important distinction is that not every poverty
consciousness is the same. It can be a result of other issues that
are not related to money at all, but which have a lack of money as a
result. For instance, low self-esteem issues can result in other
accompanying problems such as lack of material sustenance and a lack
of love in your life. In that case, the issue to be addressed is
self-worth, not an abundance consciousness. I could probably go on
and on with this subject, but I think you get the
picture by now. If you are having this problem, you may want to look
at John Randolph Price's book, "The Abundance Book". It could be a
huge help.
Remember, we're in a retrograde Mercury period right now. Not a good
time
to start anything important. Just do the preparations. |
