Lately, I find astrology more enlightening than therapy.
Would never pay to have a reading but is astrology better than therapy?

Well, I’ll say that lately not much else has worked for me so maybe I’ll start checking my daily horoscope. I had a friend in college who mapped out my whole horoscope and it was fun to look through her books and listen to all her explanations of everything.

@TunedOut

So I just read my horoscope for the day and here’s part of it:

“There is a chance to make a big difference in someone's life today by being supportive and encouraging.”

I have decided it is not so much the horoscopes that help; rather, that my dear family member's research into what my rising and moon signs were helped me understand my true nature a little better. Additionally, having thought about it, horoscopes that predict can cause problems if we take them to seriously, especially if we interpret anything negative happening in the future. Why do I believe this? Sometimes what we believe becomes our reality. So, I think I am going to view less tarot readings. I want to make my own reality. I want to focus on working toward my goals. I want to trust and accept what is and not worry as much about the future. I have GAD so I don't want to make it worse. I am going to pray more for the things my soul desires. I want my family to be OK. I want us to be more unified some day. There is a family member who is lost. I want to reach her/him. I also need to focus on my career. It is slowly building. My work life is going well because my husband more clearly saw than I did where my talents lie and I am trusting his guidance more. Without all the support I have gotten my whole life from my husband and others, I would be as lost as the family member whom I am praying for. The problem with me trying to help is that the two of us on our own is like the blind leading the blind. Many, many times, I do not see things realistically. I can really live life at times in a dream like state. I am trying to ground myself better and get more focused. I have so much more work to do while I am on this Earth.

In order to raise our vibrations, we have to let go of thoughts that do not serve us. That conclusion comes from the words in this video (YouTube):

...come into the wisdom of the ancestors to come into the wisdom or nature and to let that be the director of your life to come into contact with the realms of the unconscious to come into contact with archetypal themes as I'm sharing here at you and to step into a part of ourselves that is deeply deeply mysterious and deeply wondrous and to cross the bridge and to be and to see that this is a period of time of initiation we are being initiated into another phase of life on Earth and it's scary because all of the dragons all of the trolls all of the things that can be dangerous are rising to the surface and like Skywalker for instance when he enters the Dogon cave and he takes with him his light saber even though Yoda said to him what you confront is what you take with you and that's where I'm at right now it's like as we enter into this cave what you take with you is what you're going to confront so if you're going to enter this next year with incredible sort of like hatred or something you're going to see it and this is the mirror effect...everything that was once what we held is now time to rinse that to rinse that process and come over the bridge...and we want to be liberated from the inner shadows and the shackles in the darkness...

Is this similar to the old saying(from the Bible),"you reap what you sow"?

Such good advice in this reading especially beginning at 26:26 (it's sort of a long reading so I suggest just skipping to this part). Readings like this are so much better than DBT, psychoanalysis, etc. from my POV.

It is never to late to work on and improve our lives. Quotes from video: ...we must do all that we can do and if you have done everything that you can do there's nothing to worry about if you haven't done everything you can do then there's time to get working on something.."

The law of giving and receiving--you will always get something out of the work you do but also make sure there is balance. Charity and kindness are so good and create good karma but make sure you give to yourself first. My POV is that we are only able to be charitable when we give to ourselves what we need but just giving to yourself only is not fulfilling either. She speaks in this video of the need for balance. ...and maybe you've made a promise to yourself...but we keep giving away to others so that we can't fulfill for ourselves...

They might just emphasize some (but not all) of the same universal truths that Christianity talks about. Christianity and other religions have a whole lot of doctrine and some of it can seem superficial, out dated, etc. but most have some deep, universal truths that are worthwhile. I agree with my dear family member that some people who practice astology are trying to discover universal truths and connect to source (God, the divine, I think this is an individual thing).

I have said on here that when I am feeling down I have found that Abraham Hicks videos are helpful. I am also currently reading the book: The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy. I have come to the conclusion that Abraham Hicks philosophy is based on Hermetic Philosophy (but am only 1/3 through the book). Hermetic Philosophy is based on the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus in the time of ancient Egypt. The book The Kybalion states that Hermes Trismegistus is the founder of astrology. Interestingly, the Greeks named one of the gods they worshipped Hermes. I see some aspects of the Hermetic philosophy in Christianity.

This morning, I was watching this Youtube video. YouTube Her take on astrology resonates with me. Her philosophy/advice for 2020 was: 1) getting what you want takes work 2) be authentic 3) try not to care what other people think 4) knowledge is power 5) figure our your truth. I agree that these are all good things to work on. They all take effort and time but will improve your life. What do you think?

Most of us know that loving, accepting and forgiving ourselves is the key to overcoming many of our problems. It is such an important message that I try to read or listen to something everyday in order to remind myself.

I really don't think think that these general readings can tell us our individual future (perhaps an individual one would but I would never pay for a reading). I find this readers philosophy and storytelling entertaining and educational. Also, she always makes me laugh or think about other things going on in my life in some of her readings (though it won't fit exactly but it is fun to dream up scenarios and guess how people we know tick. I find comedy is a great distraction. (but am trying to work more and spend less time on social media so don't watch if you are trying to watch less Youtube videos). YouTube Yes, watching these is a little bit like being hooked on the Hallmark channel (I assume that channel still exists? Big following when I worked for a telephone and internet service company. )

It is important not to be afraid to feel alone or be afraid of death. I have been continuing to work toward this through study (books, videos and the Bible), prayer and meditation. Consuming the right information in order to feed positive thoughts really helps raise your vibration. Not planning to be vegan, the author of the videos suggest being vegan will raise your vibration, but we can all figure out our own way to be more positive , love my dairy and eggs too much--but trying to eat more healthy. Trying to live a balanced life. Trying to live life my way. Figure out what you want and need and slowly work toward it. It will not happen overnight but we can get closer to our dreams if we take the time to figure out what our soul desires, make plans, ask for God's help to implement them and put in the work. Life is about the process of working toward our desires. Also, take time out everyday to seek what messages are coming from your soul. If you are unhappy, you might be working toward the wrong things or working for others desires. It is good to help others achieve their desires but make a plan to implement yours too! It is not selfish to make yourself happy!!
