Astrology as a Business
know themselves to be. For a great many of us, there is
no one who seems to recognize us, or who can
celebrate with us the simple passing of our lives. As we
see happening with celebrities, many of us wish that we,
too, would be discovered and cherished—here, in the
middle of our lives—if only in a small way.
Since most of us are not suddenly found and
recognized for who we are—delivered from what can be
our loneliness—we have to discover our own selves as
best we can. This process of self-discovery is age-old.
Astrology is, for many people, a valuable tool for this
sort of self-discovery: it is a kind of do-it-yourself kit for
developing awareness, and, once you have figured out
how to find out about yourself using astrology, you may
be in a position to assist others in the same sort of thing.
In other words, you may be able to do for others what
you once wished and waited for someone to do for you.
You may be able to shine some light on their inner
selves, giving them a little space and time in which they
can discover themselves. At the very least, you can
share with them, and help celebrate their life.
Psychological birth is every bit as important as physical
birth, and, in a very real sense, an astrologer can
become a midwife of the psyche.
