There Is No Such Thing As A Typical Any One Of The Signs
Looking back, none of the people I ever encountered behaved in accordance with what the textbooks say about their Sun sign. I recognise that I have never met one typical Virgo or Libra or all the other signs of the zodiac. Do you know why? There is no such thing as a typical Virgo, Libra or whatever! As mentioned many times throughout these files, each sign is a pathway designed by the infinite wisdom of our Creator to help the soul to integrate certain qualities into its character. The degree to which each individual soul succeeds varies greatly from person to person. That is hardly surprising because it depends on many factors. For starters, each soul is unique and in the course of many lifetimes has developed in a different way from every other one. Each has always had its own pathway to walk and its own experiences to gather, and therefore carries within the bowl of itself a different store of memories, on which it is constantly drawing. But then, isn’t that what makes our world and the people in it so endlessly fascinating?
As we are here now, each one of us is likely to have been recycled many times round the wheel of life, whose symbol is the zodiac. Therefore, we also have passed through our particular Sun sign many times before, each time coping with its lessons with greater or lesser success. This lifetime is yet another opportunity for doing better. It is an extra special one because for many of us it brings the chance of – maybe the first time in the whole of our development thus far – consciously working on the improvement of our character. As pointed out earlier, each one of us is a many-faceted jewel, precious and loved by our Divine parents. We are all in this life to become more whole – hence, being healed, at one with our Highest Self and therefore holy. The awareness of such things helps me to keep my perspective on my own life as part of the Great Plan of all things, my place and role in it, as well as everybody else’s.
A word of explanation might not come amiss, in case you ever wondered why my releases always came rather late, during the Sun’s transit through each sign. Whenever I try to revise one of the signs before or at the beginning of the inflow of the new energies, editing feels like trying to wade through treacle – it’s tough! Yet, when I finally get going when the Sun is about 10 degrees – for those unfamiliar with the technicalities of astrology, each sign has 30 of them – new insights and ideas start to pour into my consciousness like water; often too much so. This is the way each item has by now grown to its present length. My present offering of the Sun in Libra 2007 probably took longest of all. All my writings are of an intuitive nature; they do not have their origin in imbibing books, but are coming into being while I am working my way through my own healing process. Thus, nothing is ever from the top of my head but flows forth from my heart and soul, the only place where truth is known. And I make every effort to live my truth in my own life.
What is now before you is my present to you, brought about with the help of God and the Angels. After all, nothing in this world and all others ever comes into being without them. Thank you, Great Spirit, Mother/Father Creator, for the beauty and the wonder of Your Creation; for giving us the wondrous gift of astrology to help us gain a better understanding of ourselves and our world, and to become more aware of everybody’s uniqueness and preciousness, as well as our own. May the Astro files be a small contribution towards bringing our peaceful new world into being by helping those who read them to live more harmoniously and peacefully. May an increased appreciation of the difficulties and idiosyncrasies which each soul encounters on its pathway through its particular Sun sign help us all to become more tolerant and loving towards each other and also more appreciative of ourselves and our own inner struggles.
The most difficult task that faces all of us in the here and now is the creation of better relationships, with God and the Universe, with ourselves and our human companions, as well as our whole world. To my mind, it is worth every small effort we make towards this end. Not only does this bring us instant rewards, but more important still is that we shall bring our relationships with us into future lifetimes. And if my interpretations help you to heal any of yours, my efforts will not have been in vain. Now and forever, God be with you in all your endeavours, and especially this one.
Peace And Friendship Prayer
Let there be love and understanding among us;
May peace and friendship be our shelter from life’s storms.
Eternal God, help us to walk with good companions,
To live with hope in our hearts
And Eternity in our thoughts,
That we may lie down in peace and rise up every day,
To find our hearts waiting to do Thy will.
Amen
From the Jewish Tradition
