| Life's Greatest Adventure!
| | | | | | Hi Friend,
In an earlier newsletter we spoke about the healing cycle that begins in Virgo and carries through to Scorpio, yet that is only one cycle within a series of greater cycles. In truth, we are all healing, all of the time, even though we may not know it. What I mean by healing in this sense, is our return to wholeness, which is what our spiritual journey is all about.

| | In Esoteric Astrology it is said that all 'dis-ease' is caused by separation, yet all separation is an illusion created by the human mind. In Soul Astrology when we talk about the difference between your personality and Soul, we are talking about the apparent separation created by your mind. This is not an easy concept to grasp from your ordinary, everyday, experience which is why meditation is so important. In essence no such separation exists but you cannot know this until you experience oneness for yourself. You need to change your 'state of mind' so that you can more clearly observe the everyday workings of your mind!
Your 'personality signs', the Sun and the Moon, show us the everyday working of your mind. The Sun indicates how you are most likely to flow your life-force energy. It shows your preferred mode of self-expression. The Moon indicates your instincts and emotional world. It shows how you react and respond to others. These two factors alone make up 80% of your personality. But do you ever stop to think, what IS your personality?
Your personality is conditioned behavior. Western psychology leans toward the idea that your behavior is 50% nature (meaning you are born with innate character traits) and 50% nurture (meaning you learned your behaviour from others and your environment). Buddhist psychology, which includes the idea of reincarnation, suggests even the characteristics you were born with (that appear to be innate) were probably 'learned' in a past life.
Your Moon sign is said to be your most immediate past life. So the characteristics of your Moon sign may dominate your early childhood, when your most immediate past life is still influencing you, and you haven't yet fully 'acclimatised' to this one! As you grow older you begin expressing yourself through the characteristics of your Sun sign. What you are attracted to, what you desire, what you want to learn, how you choose to express yourself, how you choose to occupy your time: all are related to your Sun sign, yet unless you align with your spiritual path and become aware, it will all become your conditioning.
This is where understanding the higher and lower harmonics of each sign becomes important. For example if you have Sun in Cancer you have a great feeling and sensing capacity. Cancer is the sign of emotional intelligence. You are motivated by human need and what you, and others, are feeling. The highest harmonic of Cancer is the purest compassion (The Dalai Lama has both Sun and Rising Sign in Cancer). If you are not mindful this energy becomes 'conditioned' by the society you were born into, and your everyday mind. So rather than pure compassion, the lower harmonic of Cancer becomes a strong focus on 'my family', love becomes strong attachment and even clinging or neediness. The so-called 'negative' aspects of Cancer. Indeed, the so-called 'negative' attributes of any sign are merely the highest harmonics that have become distorted through conditioning and ideas of separation.
The solution lies in mindfulness. In understanding the highest, purest, quality of each sign and then making a conscious effort to express those qualities into our lives and release the so-called 'negative' aspects. The starting point is your Rising Sign (Ascendant).
It is more difficult to break the habit-patterns of your Sun and Moon signs because they are more firmly established in your mind. Your Rising Sign is your Soul's essence and will always be calling you to return to your spiritual journey.
In a way this makes it easier. Rather than having to discover the highest qualities of many different signs, just focus on the highest qualities of your Rising Sign and commit to realizing that in your life. For a few people they are in the same sign, which makes it even simpler again.
For example if you have Cancer Rising, focus your energy on becoming an embodiment of compassion in your life. Of course if you have Sun in Leo that might drive your ego nuts but hey, that's what the spiritual path is all about!
Your Rising Sign is your gateway to healing in the sense that once you choose to walk through it, you are on your path to wholeness.
When you start living out the highest qualities of your Rising Sign it elevates the rest of your life and makes it easier to express the highest qualities of your personality signs.
