Astrologolist

After expanding upon Carl Jung’s exploration of personality typing, Isabel Briggs Myers pronounced:

“Whatever the circumstances of your life, the understanding of your personality type can make your perceptions clearer, your judgments sounder, and your life closer to your heart’s desire.”

The same can be said for understanding your soul blueprint, which includes your astrology chart also known as a natal chart.

If we boiled it down to 3 reasons why it can be invaluable to work with an astrologist they would be

1) Gaining greater self-understanding and awareness of one's strengths and direction in life.

2) Appreciation of our unique challenges, blindspots and karmic patterns to overcome

3) Negating the separation myth to move into a worldview of interconnection and mystique

As author Katherine May found her life stagnant based on the rationalistic model she expressed the desire for other viewpoints and a return to enchantment, saying:

"I need to change. I need to soften, to let go of my tight empirical boundaries, to find a greater fluidity in my being. I’m seeking what the poet John Keats called negative capability, that intuitive mode of thought that allows us to reside in “uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.” The subtle magic of the world offers comfort, but I don’t know how to receive it.

I have lost some fundamental part of my knowing, some elemental human feeling. Without it, the world feels like tap water left overnight, flat and chemical, devoid of life. I am like lightning seeking earth. Uneasy, I carry the prickle of potential energy in my limbs, ever deferred from the point of contact, the moment of release. Instead, it gathers in me, massing like a storm that never comes. I lack the language to even describe it, this vast unsettled sense that I am slipping over the glassy surface of things, afraid of what lurks beneath. I need a better way to walk through this life. I want to be enchanted again.

Enchantment is small wonder magnified through meaning, fascination caught in the web of fable and memory. It relies on small doses of awe, almost homeopathic: those quiet traces of fascination that are found only when we look for them. It is the sense that we are joined together in one continuous thread of existence with the elements constituting this earth, and that there is a potency trapped in this interconnection, a tingle on the border of our perception. It is the forgotten seam in our geology, the elusive particle that binds our unstable matter."
