The Use Of Astrology For Relationship Healing
Since its beginning around 1900 CE, the Age of Aquarius has already brought us fantastic progress in many different ways. Uranus, the co-ruler of this sign with Saturn, is the planet of transformation and revolution, as well as of technology and astrology. Aquarius is one of the Air signs. They are concerned with humankind’s development of education of all kinds and in particular with the invention and use of languages and communication. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that, to prepare us for the new age, well before our entry into it everything connected with the Aquarian themes and topics have been particularly high on the agenda. Among many other technical wonders the new age has brought us computers and ever more speedy means of communicating with each other and ‘spreading the word’, whatever that may mean to us.
The Universe’s technological ideas are increasingly putting the tools into humankind’s hands for setting us free from many different kinds of the past’s toiling and slavery, as well as false beliefs and prejudices. The distribution of knowledge has become easy in the age of technology. For example, computers have brought astrology within easy reach of anyone who is interested in self-development. And that is what we need if we wish to enter into the freedom of the Aquarian Age, because Saturn demands from each one of us that we achieve self-mastery and self-discipline. Stern and incorruptible, Saturn is a symbol of the relevant aspect of our Divine parents and guards the gates to the new age. Nothing gets past this heavenly authority without its express permission, and that is only given after we have sufficiently proved our reliability and sense of responsibility.
What we need to develop these characteristics is knowledge, because knowledge provides us with power. And when we empower ourselves with the help of astrology we have a mighty advantage over the power-crazed priesthoods of bygone ages, who used it for gaining power over others. That’s not what we have in mind. We are here to take charge of the drives and behaviour patterns of our lower nature, in order to master them. To do this, we first have to find out what they are. This is where familiarising ourselves with the various parts of our birthcharts comes in, in particular the Sun and Moon by sign and house position.
It is not for nothing that the Universe has granted us the gift of another lifetime on the Earth at this particular time. When setting off on the journey of healing our relationships it is essential to bear in mind that we cannot change other people, only ourselves. So, from now on whenever one of our relationships is struggling, let’s ask ourselves: ‘How can I change my behaviour to heal this connection and make it into a better one?’ For this purpose we need to get to know ourselves more intimately and no-one could wish for a better instrument for doing this than astrology. Who else can provide us so reliably with what is required here?
How about starting with familiarising ourselves with our weaknesses? The only purpose they now serve is that they are waiting to be transformed into strengths. The good and strong characteristics we developed in past lifetimes we have brought with us into this one, so they can be made good use of. They are waiting to be reinforced some more, to make our character stronger and more resilient still. Many hidden motivations and destructive behaviour patterns of our lower earthly nature are hidden from our own view because they are tucked away in our subconscious. They reveal themselves best of all through the Moon’s position by sign and house.
This is where the value of my kind of astrology is greatest and most welcome. To my mind, the best way of detecting the secret aspects of our nature is through studying the negative characteristics of the two signs in question. For example, if your Moon is in Cancer in the ninth house, familiarise yourself with Cancer and Sagittarius. You will be amazed at what you’ll find, I promise. Whilst reading the astrological information, listen to your inner guidance and feel/sense which destructive behaviour patterns apply to you. Then take a good and honest look at yourself and follow that by examining your relationships that are in need of improving and healing.
Consider which hidden aspects of your character could do with changing and accept the fact that although you were unaware of them, they are yours nonetheless, as your birthchart shows and your inner guidance confirms. To make this task easier, the Universe has provided us with the gift of constructing the world around us as a reflection of what is happening in us on the inner level of life, so it can be used like a mirror. When gazing into it, we need to be scrupulously truthful with ourselves and be mindful of projection. Nothing else can help us to find what we require for the task ahead. No cheating – it won’t work! Read more about projection by following the link at the end of this chapter.
Astrology can be a great help in our search for the wisdom and understanding all of us are here to seek for getting to know ourselves and others, so that we may build happier and more lasting relationships with anyone we come into contact with. Fortunately, the knowledge the Divine science can provide us with for our personal evolution and that of our whole world is no longer for the chosen few, but these days can easily gained access to by everybody.
