The result of surface level horoscopes is the dismissive attitude of real Astrology with it's intelligence utterly misunderstood.
Vedic Astrology (and Tropical Astrology aspects, progressions and asteroids analysis) is in short, a map of the stars and their movements which bring about changes in consciousness on earth; “As above so below”. Vedic Astrology is the link between physics and metaphysics.
The Double Slit experiment proved "that the very act of observing a particle has a dramatic effect on its behaviour." We can therefore understand how these metaphysical concepts extend into the physical realm.
Sam Geppi, author of Yoga & Vedic Astrology is one of today's most brilliant Vedic Astrology teachers who explains that "the eastern and western sciences work together to form a complete circle where one completes the other."
He explains how western science uses a legitimised approach to reality through experiments that offer concrete answers through cause and effect, which we can manipulate and control. In a practical sense, this means in our day-to-day life we try to control the outcome of everything that we do which brings stress that leads to many forms of negative behaviours.
In contrast, Sam explains that the eastern approach to reality is one of a holistic consciousness that pervades everything. In short, eastern science looks at the brain behind the brain that perceives everything, and decides where our attention focuses and where we create something from nothing.
The problem arises due to the non-specific eastern approach when compared to western science that analyses the mechanical structure of matter.
This western scientific approach however is equally as limited; it restricts people and events by reducing our perceived capabilities into a formulating and mechanical approach to reality. But we are not robots.
Until recently, western science has not looked specifically at who and what is operating 'the machine'. We may have a body and a mind, but what decides how and what will enter the body and mind is where eastern science connects with western science.
"The west legitimises these eastern concepts of spirit taking form and these things happening on an abstract level through western physics and brain science." - S. Geppi
A LIFE MAP REVEALED
Vedic Astrology (and Tropical Astrology aspects, progressions and asteroids analysis) is the map of the stars and their movements which bring about changes in consciousness on earth; “As above so below”. Astrology is currently taught only in a handful of institutions around the world and is becoming a more socially acceptable option for students to study and become qualified in to work hand in hand with traditional healing professions by offering Astrological services that opens doors to a range of benefits.
There is no argument against the science of light; it is evident in everything we do, think, see, act, feel and speak.
What is most brilliant about an Astrological reading is that it allows us to see the secrets of our inner engineering; our genius which can often be disguised.
For example:
Non Astrologer - Little Jimmy has ADHD, he needs meds to get through school
Astrologer – Little Jimmy will be a brilliant mathematician, ensure (together with his Doctor's guidance) that he is also provided with an advanced maths tutor. Traditional schooling will not provide enough support for his talents unless he is guided under an advanced Mathematics Guru.
(Little Jimmy is now Big Jimmy, completing his PhD in Mathematics, without drugs)
Non Astrologer – Teenage Prue is out of control, she takes drugs, and wont get off the computer
Astrologer – Teenage Prue’s greatest gift is her ability to care for animals and physically perform on stage. She requires music and space to express herself. Prue is often misunderstood due to her childhood trauma of seeing her older siblings winning in areas she has not. Work with Prue to understand her value and communicate that she will be brilliant in these areas suggested – she will be naturally open to listen. And get a dog.
(Teenage Prue is now Adult Prue and a successful performer at the London Theatre) and volunteers at an animal shelter.
SPECIALIST INSIGHTS FROM A POWERFUL SOURCE
One argument (out of many) against Astrology goes something like this ‘well if we know what will happen, then we will become lazy with trying.”
On the contrary, rather than blindly advising another during difficult times where anger, fear, depression and anxiety creep in, to “remain positive, exercise, eat a good diet, be around people who love you, go on a holiday etc etc”, which is all great but not so specific advice, Astrology offer clarity on the what, how, why, whom and for how long - divinely served to us on a plate whether we like it or not.
There are many benefits of using Astrology together with any form of counselling, hypnotherapy, physical activity and a loving surrounding to help one heal. It offer answers to the ‘monkey brain’ survival responses to life and shift's people’s consciousness to a higher level. As a result a complete perspective change occurs and when experienced at its core, is one of the greatest internal
feelings of release and pure surrender to t
he universe.
In times of darkness, our perception is vulnerable to outside influences and often thwarted resulting in our self-esteem shattering as we battle with obstacles which are necessary to stimulate spiritual growth.
When our expectations are not met by others these feelings if not correctly managed, evolve into negative emotions generated within our mind debilitating our body and the energy we carry and share with others.
With the knowledge and understanding of ones self through an Astrological lens, during those pressure filled times in life when it feels like you’re trying to make a cup of tea in the middle of a hurricane, a sense of pure bliss can wash over you in understanding of a higher order at play, your body, and the soul it contains simply part of this chess game called Earth.
By understanding the future and focusing our efforts on what it is that universe is asking for us to do, not what we think we should be doing, we are allowing ourselves to align with our current timing (Mahadasha) and therefore maximising what the universe is supporting us to experience.
To be taught, understand and therefore enable people to prepare for what is to come is one of the more intelligent methods to encourage growth and consciousness. Astrology is the science that turns on the light and opens doors to these teachings.
Despite even the most difficult transits and trauma to any individual, great Astrologers focus on their clients talents and resilience to guard against their inner demons through spiritual practice, music, mantras, exercise, creativity, humour and many other forms of art. And it is in this that we change the world; through the expression of love for ourselves and love for others. Astrology shows us the way.
