Astrology as a Business
these same circumstances and turn them to some
advantage. It is not enough to help clients out of their
circumstances onto some lofty plane where their life
somehow falls into perspective for a few hours. As with
the spaceman leaving and orbiting earth, about the only
thing that is absolutely obvious when we leave the body
is the body itself—the spaceman, leaving earth, sees
earth as never before. What goes up comes down, and
what goes out, comes back in.
When we stand back or get outside our circumstances,
we have an opportunity to see our condition in a larger
context. It is at this point that philosophical discussion is
possible. And, it is here that the astrologer may
facilitate a clearer or more comprehensive vision, and
perhaps an acceptance of what is. It is at this point in
time that some sort of insight or imprinting takes place.
We can see well enough to set our sails toward more
worthy goals, to assume a different attitude or stance,
and to prepare to take our life in a different way. It is at
these clear moments that we take or retake our vows,
never to forget what we are now seeing. No doubt, for
the client, this is a beautiful and favorite part of any
reading.
