1. You have to keep putting out.
You may not get back exactly what you put out for but you'll get something back. How is the Universe to know what you want if you don't ask for it? But be careful what you ask for!
2. You are never alone, even if you think you are.
There are beings the other side of the veil - members of your family and other loved ones that have passed over, angels, spirits - that watch over you, guide and help you on your path through life.
3. The demons you have most to fear are those that lurk in the dark recesses of your own mind.
So don't let yourself be overcome by negative or depressing thoughts, they are not real. Fight them and they will go away, making room for positive thoughts to come in.
As above, so below goes the old saying and it sums up what astrology's all about in a nutshell. By studying the relationship between heavenly bodies and the Earth and its inhabitants, the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians believed they could predict the course of events and of lives.
From these obscure beginnings the Greeks later developed the foundations of modern astrology, giving the constellations their names and dividing the belt of sky or zodiac in which the planets moved into the 12 star or sun signs.
The most commonly practised form of astrology today involves casting a horoscope for the time, date and place that someone was born. By looking at the positions of the Sun, Moon and eight planets and the angles they make to one another, an astrologer can describe a person's character, their potential and in what area of life they can best develop it.
Your birth chart is a blueprint for this incarnation and a knowledge of it can help you to make the most of the opportunities that unfold for you and the challenges that arise. It can provide insights into what drives you, career and direction in life, relationships and the destiny that awaits you.
Most people would not dream of setting out on a long journey without a map. Yet, on the journey that is life, many of us don't even know that we have a birth chart that can show us the way.
