Astrology: Rooted in the Reality of the World

One of the most enduring songs ever written asks this question: "Mirror in the sky, what is love?" The line is taken from Landslide by Stevie Nicks, and together with this reference, the one where she sees her own reflection in the snow-covered hills, we experience a kind of beauty listening and singing along with the chorus. There is this tension in the song that change is imminent and that each moment we have together is precious, a gift of time, so the song is also a haunting reminder that life is all too temporary.

Landslide was a favorite song of my beloved sister. One time we cranked up the sound system in the pool yard on a warm summer night, as a legion of family and friends swayed arm in arm, belting out each verse. Then, in a glorious sentimental crescendo we raised our voices just a little more, and in unison sang the chorus. There wasn't a dry eye or frown in the house, people were smiling and crying those happy tears in one big, gigantic circle. Everyone was under the same spell, a communion of feeling and sound. Not for a second did I think at that moment that my youngest sister would be gone, in an instant, only a few short months from that memorable occasion. But the snow gave way, and "*the landslide brought me down." I will miss her. I will miss discussing her chart with her.

Leonardo DaVinci said, “the mirror is our teacher,” and considered the mirror a master of painters. Astrology is a mirror! Reflecting an image of who we were, who we are and who we are meant to be. Like the artist, who represents reality with a brush stroke, the astrologer uses the zodiac, a synthetic model of life, to represent an individual’s lived experience. This knowledge is then applied for the purpose of affording individuals a better understanding of themselves, to help them recognize their true self, to “see” their own reflection too.

My sister was immeasurably alive while she was here and "handled the seasons" of her life with extraordinary grace. In many ways, astrology, rooted in the reality of the world, is for precisely this purpose, to serve as a guide, to better handle the seasons of our lives with grace.

Sessions are now open and available to discuss the seasons of your life, to reflect on the ebb and flow of life, and explore what potential lies ahead.

Overview

An introduction to the most reliable astrological process ever devised that is specifically curated for identifying one’s vocation. Have you ever asked yourself, "what is my calling in life?" Does the prospect of job vagaries make glum? Are you finally where you aimed to be professionally, but now questioning everything, including the path you chose to take?

Target audience

Candidates often are undergoing their first or second Saturn Return, or perhaps are in college.

Benefits

Save time and anguish by zeroing in on a direction that is most fitting and suitable for your natural aptitudes and interests. Done well clients realize the potential of a Vocational Analysis when the work life aligns with life's goals, and ultimately leads to fulfilment (The Midheaven). Alignment seems to be the key, to discover and attend to whatever the spirit finds agreeable, natural, and for the most part, generates well-being.

Session

15 minutes: this is not a full session, but only one small sidebar to a comprehensive consultation.

Other comments

The Midheaven Extension Process is remarkably reliable, but no process is foolproof. Many non-astrological variables are at play to either affirm or deny individual life direction. Still, with over an 80% success rate most people find incredible value in this service.
