with Astrological Keys

Woman in bliss

   


For us mere mortals, Love is and has been, the one bliss we need and long for above all else in life. It is this union or marriage of Souls we seek and prize above all. We sense, it is the heart that holds the secret to happiness. Why then, is it so difficult to allow the heart to open?


The Opening of the Heart, to all that life has to offer, is an imperative for all who seek fulfillment. It is in the heart where the Life Thread is said to be anchored in many philosophies. It is in the sacred temple of the heart we build our nest and shelter our loved ones over life times.

Throughout the ages the Trans-Himalayan Wisdom Teachings, particularly Esoteric Astrology and Psychology have taught the Laws of the Soul, and a Soul based science for psycho-spiritual development.

Teachers from the East and West, speak of life with lessons to learn, tests and energies to master.

There is said to be in this philosophy, a Path of psychological and spiritual development for each of the Signs of the Zodiac. Esoteric astrology reveals a wonderful orchestra of energies available to us at any moment.

The Moon in the natal chart indicates the mother, karmic patterns, emotional and physical health. Our capacity to give and receive love and to find comfort and nourishment are also affected by the foundations of our being indicated by the Moon.

Karmic patterns in our chart ensure that our hearts have been touched, and sometimes broken. A shattered dream and the loss of a loved one have triggered our becoming fearful, afraid of rejection, of loss and further pain. We can feel trapped in crystallized patterns of behavior, frozen, switched off or absconded. Feelings and thoughts that no longer serve us, impression us at those times and separate us from love and an open heart. At these times, we could seek the courage and wise counsel of the heart and ask of our selves:
What Family Myth or script blocks the door to our heart? What stands in the way?By opening up the heart and experiencing the hidden pain, we are able to take the first step that opens to freedom. Trusting the Journey is the challenge. Remembering, that the Soul is our guide and knows what it is doing, even though we don’t realize it at the time. At any moment we can become surprised by the intervention of spiritual guidance and Life coaching by Soul.
The embrace of a loved one, the touch of a child full of laughter or tears can trigger in us such depth and altruism, that we would risk life and limb to protect them from harm. In this spontaneous act we free the heart and activate Soul.

Esoteric Astrology and psychology looks to the heart as a place where wisdom, compassion, the Beloved and the inner Master all live. If we are brave enough to consult and listen to our heart, we know exactly what is right for us, at any given moment. It is also said that it is through the heart when activated by love and care for another that the heart is opened. And that in the spontaneous act of giving we create a flow of energy from Soul/Spirit and are made ready not only to give, but also to receive love.

Opening our eyes and hearts to each other, we see it is a beautiful world.
