Soul-Based Astrology
|
With Karen Anderson
As souls coming into the human experience, we choose the timing and circumstances of each birth to carry us forward in our evolution. The natal, or birth, chart represents the pattern of energies and possibilities we wished to explore in this life. Unlike traditional astrology interpretations, which can seem fatalistic or predictive, soul-based readings focus on expanding possibilities, increasing self-awareness, and furthering creative self-expression. Readings identify the particular evolutionary challenges of this lifetime, bringing consciousness to difficult patterns and dynamics and exploring possible pathways of resolution. Soul-based astrology readings also emphasize the innate abilities and soul qualities that counterbalance the more challenging sides of life. Above all else, a soul-based reading facilitates the fulfillment of your unique soul destiny and purposes in this life. Natal Chart Readings The configuration of planets at the time of your birth can be viewed as an energetic blueprint for this lifetime. The birth chart doesn’t tell us what will happen -- or even what should happen -- throughout your life. Rather, it contains a great deal of information about the potentials and possibilities you have taken embodiment to explore. As souls temporarily on Earth, we each came here to develop particular divine qualities and overcome specific ego-impediments. Our astrology chart can be extremely helpful in deciphering the soul’s agenda for this life, so that we can more consciously focus on the tasks associated with our particular mission and purpose. The astrological chart shows our evolutionary direction in this life. This new area often feels challenging, and we may not believe we have what it takes to develop it. A sensitive, soul-based chart reading can bolster confidence in our ability to do what we’ve come to Earth this time to develop and contribute to the Whole. Our astrology chart also shows our line of least resistance, which can be an easy and comfortable place to fall back on. But if it is overdone, we may wonder, “Isn’t there more to life than this?” That yearning points the way to our new evolutionary direction. A natal chart reading provides a tremendous amount of evolutionary stimulation. With each listening, the reading reveals different facets of your unique pattern of energies. Many people like to listen to their recordings as they fall asleep; as one client put it, “It reminds me of who I am.” Updates Because the astrological “weather” continuously changes, the energies that are impacting us from without, as well as our inner evolutionary climate, are also constantly shifting. Many people find it helpful to receive periodic updates that include current information about both the inner and outer “weather patterns.” This information can clarify matters involving choices and possibilities, and confirm intuitions that may have seemed difficult to trust. The larger perspective an update provides reveals the nature of the current evolutionary phase we are passing through, and makes it easier to navigate more gracefully through our current cycle of experience. Many people enjoy giving themselves the gift of a yearly update as a “rebirth-day” present to themselves. Relationship Readings When two souls join, a third soul is born. We might call this the soul of the relationship, and it has its own nature and evolutionary agenda, just as each individual soul does. A relationship reading clarifies what the purposes of the relationship are, along with its strengths and challenges. These readings also focus on the energies each individual brings to the relationship, and how the two energy patterns combine. What are the unique strengths in this partnership, and what are its evolutionary edges? People are often quite moved to see one another through the lens of astrology, which clearly and non-judgmentally revels each person to the other -- respectfully and lovingly, with a dose of humor. Relationship readings are helpful to life partners, business partners, parents and children, and good friends -- basically, any two people who would like to better understand what they are doing together! Astrolocality Readings Have you noticed that you feel very different in various spots on the globe? In some places, a steady stream of fascinating people flow into your life. In others, you meet no one, but go deep within and emerge reborn. Some locations bring out your inherent playful creativity, while in others it’s easy to get focused and productive. Astrolocality readings highlight the energies you are likely to encounter in a variety of places around the planet. We’ll look at where you now live, places you have visited or spent time in, and possible future destinations you’d like to know more about. I’ll ask for a list of these to research before our session. Alas, these sessions don’t answer questions like, “Where should I go to meet my true love?” We’ll check to see where your Venus lines are, but that’s no guarantee of lasting romance...although it’s always nice to know where you are likely to meet lots of friendly, helpful, interesting people. An astrolocality session can help you understand why things were the way they were in various places, maximize the possibilities where you are now, and help you plan trips and evaluate moving options. For those who love to roam the globe, these sessions are fascinating! Details and Pricing for Astrology Readings Natal chart readings are usually around 90 minutes long. Updates, relationship and astrolocality sessions are typically 60 to 80 minutes in length.
