Running Against the Wind

In the last several articles I have been writing about Chiron. It has been thought of as ‘the wounded healer’, but I think this definition is much too narrow. In its highest expression it can be seen as a doorway to a different kind of consciousness which is symbolized by the outer planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. What I want to write about now is how big a shift this really is and also about how astrology itself needs to be conceived of and practiced much differently than it has been in the past. This is an important issue for the field of astrology to face or it will always be considered by science and the modern mind as mere superstition. I don’t think it has to stay this way.

Purpose vs. Meaning

How Astrology Can Be Helpful
One of the questions I am often asked by clients and students alike is – “Can astrology tell me what my purpose really is?” I looked at the astrologer advertisement section of the recent issue of ‘The Mountain Astrologer,’ and found that one of the common themes of these ads is that astrologers are openly saying that astrology can ‘tell you’ what your purpose is. Sometimes they will say ‘Soul-Purpose.’ The mere mentioning of this will be so hypnotic that the reader of this ad could feel very enticed by its potential promise and so might want a reading so that they can learn what their purpose really is. It is indeed, a truly important human need, is it not?
