September 2019 Spiritual Insights and Predictions
I just returned from Europe and it is always interesting to experience the world and people through many different cultures. It is like getting outside yourself and seeing things from an entirely different perspective. When I travel and teach, I get to know people as they live and not as a tourist. Listening to their perspective based on their experiences actually helps me understand astrology more.
I noticed on this trip how we all connect on some kind of commonality. When we find something we agree on or feel a commonality we bond and like that person. Those that we have no commonality we do not bond or come together. Of course, the commonality on this trip was astrology. The first part of the trip we were in Germany with many western astrologers. We attended the wedding of Ray Merriman and Antonia Lansdorf, both my dear friends for many years. It was amazing to cruise down the Rhine river with all the intellectual minds in astrology. Even though we had different perspectives of astrology we bonded on the commonalities. As I taught in Vienna there were students from many countries, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, England, Canada and South Korea. We all bonded in the passion for astrology. This was so much fun. Many thanks to Natalie Alison Aufischer who arranged our event there.
Outside of the astrological circles I noticed when we spoke with others we search for some kind of commonality in conversation from the love of high heel shoes, to travels and interest in different cities, to children, pets or sports. Also, I noticed wherever the people were the happiest they treated you with more kindness and had a way to make you feel special. This was in certain cities and even in certain hotels. When you have a good experience with people feeling accepted with recognition and a smile you feel good about the place and people.
Because the world is becoming one with globalization we have to find commonality that we can connect with to open the world to a much more loving place, without this we will destroy ourselves. To focus on the differences and not the commonalities will hurt us. One of the big things that separates is our religious and political beliefs. We have to let go of these strong opinions. There is always a reason why we feel the way we do based on our upbringing and what we are told. We must always have an open mind and understand why someone believes the way they do. The most important aspect of our lives beyond all else is the way we treat others. Our opinions that cause us to not connect or not like others is all in the lack of finding something to bond us.
The truth is, if the divinity of God resides in all of us then the way we treat others is recognizing that divinity in all other human beings. This has nothing to do with wrong or right but the respect, appreciation and caring for others. Remember the way you make people feel will be the most important thing people will remember. Don’t complicate this with all the rights or wrongs. Connect with others through a commonality and kindness and the same will be retuned to you. And you will begin to feel the presence of God in everyone changing your outlook on the world.
Many planets will be transiting in Virgo in September which will bring out the hypercritical ways in all of us. But we can use this scrutinizing and critical energy for the positive by analyzing ourselves instead of criticizing others. When we criticize and find faults with others this indicates an insecurity within ourselves. When we focus on other’s faults we are making ourselves superior because our way is the right way and they are wrong. The more you find faults with others the more you are trying to make yourself right. This all boils down to the fact that you feel the need to validate your own beliefs by making others wrong. When you know you are right you will not have to validate your beliefs by making others feel wrong. The more secure you are with your beliefs the more you will not have to validate them.
