If you want to join me, I will tell you about my own experience with Chinese astrology.
I come from a family where not only was I not baptised, but alternative approaches to life, soul, incarnation and so on were immediately ridiculed. "You can't make a living as a hobby, only through hard work" was my father's strong advice. For him, with an "Indirect Wealth" main personality profile (such a person has entrepreneurship within the self, jumps into good opportunities and investments), time is mainly measured by results, so it is clear that if one's daughter is interested in such "nonsense", she would rather think it is a prank. That's why I went to the Budapest University of Economics (now Corvinus University) where I studied business and economics instead of the Elte's Faculty of Humanities (where I was actually enrolled). How ironic that I did it another "my way", and somehow failed to find a prosperous position according to my qualifications. My father had me educated in the USA, and after graduation I passed the German language exam. So life brings many of us to our knees. Every man has their own cross to bear, goes our wise, resigned earthly saying. The thousands of gifts and opportunities that seem to have fallen into my lap, the fact that I was born into a very good family, the extroverted, confident manner, are not preconditions for success. And not everything is as simple and beautiful as it first appears to an outsider.
That's when you start searching. Why is it that a teacher who has been studying all his life and is on his third degree doesn't feel successful and satisfied with the level he has reached? And why do we see so many entrepreneurs with poor spelling, with poor knowledge of foreign languages, but with talent, making money in their sleep? Why do people get burnt out when they get money, success, glamour, a nice family? I did not understand.
There must be a law, some kind of a universal rule! I started to research the law of attraction, which I gave a chance. Then later on I added Neville Goddard's different biblical interpretation, Joe Dispenza's science based quantum physics works.)
I have noticed that it only works if some higher rule accommodates, quasi "allows", the given creation analogy. But what is this higher regulating force? What is written in the heavens and why are we trapped here?
When I first became interested in astrology, my motivation was quite different. I wanted to know in advance what was going to happen, so I wanted to take control. Then I realised that the more we got involved, the more we didn't understand anything. At least that's how it worked for me. The archetypes, the analogies, all of them can give you a thousand different scenarios, so you may find yourself at the end, it doesn't make any sense...
Chinese astrology, among other things, can be used to make these predictions, but I would emphasise its completely different strengths. I call it the most effective tool for personality profiling! When I learned it, the question kept nagging at me: Why are schools not teaching this knowledge? Why is it that we know so little about ourselves, about our human functioning?
You can understand the why of human behaviour with this system to such an extent that I still test and wonder to this very day!
But the learning doesn't stop there.
Because you can fall into a mistake in my experience. And that mistake is self-justifying all our "stupidity" with analogies. It is true that the first step of progress is recognition. But it is not enough to recognize, to understand.
What comes with recognition is a shedding of responsibility, a relief:
"I'm not the weak one after all,
I just didn't know enough about the building blocks of myself!"
Recognition turns drama into comedy. Self-knowledge opens the way to our gifts that can be developed into positivity, to our latent talents that lie hidden within us, never used.
But what worried me after years of experience was that it was not enough to know, to recognize. Indeed, every day we have to work our minds to reach a higher level of vibration.
But what shocked me even more was my absolute first-hand experience of the ineffectiveness of psychological and psychiatric counselling.
It happened that after the death of my mother I was unable to accept the series of losses. Loss emotionally, spiritually, financially. Loss of a loan, loss of a home. Like a line of dominoes or a deck of cards, all the building blocks collapsed in the matter of a few years.
I've talked to a psychiatrist. I didn't talk, I cried for an hour and a half for a bunch of money while he took notes. Oh no! He prescribed a mood enhancer pill to increase my serotonin levels. Because I was crying! People! Hey, hey, hey! Crying is not a disease! Crying cures! (but more on that later.)
After about 5 sessions I was still crying, for ventilating it's an expensive solution, but my life just didn't change in the desired direction...
Unfortunately, I also managed to experience serotonin syndrome, as I was taking grapefruit seed drop extract at the time to protect my immune system and to protect me from ongoing respiratory viral illnesses. I just didn't know that it should not be taken in combination with such medications because of the aforementioned attacks.
I stopped taking it immediately. An intuition told me, "stop, you're fine!"
Chinese astrology has cured me of many problems. I got a lot of understanding of why. Why I cried so much, where the exceptional sensitivity comes from, what the high level of these refined sensitivities are, which is now a gift. And what is the direction, why am I being taught lessons, what do I need to improve?
With the knowledge I have gained, I have taken it into my head that this understanding should be put in the hands of all people! Particularly in the hands of people who are practicing in the healing profession. An astropsychology trend should be started, which integrates the astrological effects that the patient is experiencing into the psychological tools that are being taught.
One of my sensitive points as a mother of an adolescent child, is the psychological empowerment of adolescents growing up in the online ether of the present time. I hear more and more about depressed teens "cutting" themselves.( When I first heard it, I didn't know what it meant!)
A close friend of mine has a 15 year old child in psychiatric care, prescribed antidepressants, diagnosed with a personality disorder. Like a restrictive, punishing stamp, they stick on children the fashionable personality disorders of our time. All with the consent of the parents.
When this girl came to me, and I analysed her based only on her birth chart of Chinese astrology (highlighting her strengths and possible analogies to be experienced at low/high levels), this was her response:
But that's why mom and dad send me to a psychiatrist!
Why? Is it because you are exactly the way your soul has "selected" the elements for its own personality growth? It's not a mistake to be sensitive, it's not a mistake to have difficulty processing traumatic life events! And it is worth crying! Yes yes it is worth crying a lot!!!
I cried for years after my mother died! Then, when I stepped out of the energy pattern dominated by my luck pillar, suddenly the tears ran dry. There were no more. A cleansing took place and I was ready for the next lesson in destiny's teaching.
( astrologers will understand Direct Resource-Rob Wealthis a luck pillar, where due to over-attachment, life had dropped the object of my attachments off of me in the form of losses.)
We need to get something into our heads!
The psychological approach is that every person is born with a particular personality disorder.
According to Chinese astrology, each person is born with a pattern built from given elements, which does not get a "good" or "bad" label. It is merely a balance that is sometimes harder and sometimes easier to maintain. But I believe that every person can do it!
You can learn this pattern from your natal birth chart by entering your birth data into the astrology calculator.
