One Soul And So Many Facets (I)

One Soul And So Many Facets - Hi everyone! Sorry but due to the overwhelming workload this past week, I have not been able to catch up with you any sooner. - "She's been changing quite a bit" or "He's just not the same anymore" are statements I'm pretty sure we all use once in a while. However, as true as this feels in itself, we occasionally tend to forget that most of us are by no means excluded from that ominous change. The explanation for this phenomenon being, we apparently don't see it on us. Astrologically speaking, we are born on a specific day, place and time which defines our sun sign. Following the traditional Western astrological model, we are somewhere between Aries and Pisces depending on the month of our arrival. That's by far not it yet, though. Along with the primary zodiac distinction, we may also want to figure out our second sign. The Ascendant describes the rising (ascendancy) of the zodiac on the most eastern horizon at the time of our birth. Never having been satisfied with any of the countless overly generic horoscopes, I took matters into my own hands one day and made it my mission to finally teach myself the art of Astrology. It just doesn't make sense at all to produce 12 randomly varying daily, weekly, monthly or yearly horoscope predictions and not take the myriad of colorful diversity into consideration. Instead we are just stupidly and superficially categorized which leads me to believe that this is in fact one of the major reasons why Astrology has largely become that badly ill- reputed. Let me point out a few rather important facts as far as Astrology goes. First of all, there are three different 10- day periods per astrological sign, the first, the second and the third decade. This implies that for instance an early Capricorn (Dec. 22nd - 31st) very well differs from someone born between January 1st- 10th and much more even from a person whose birthday is anywhere between January 11th and January 20th. Secondly, even those born on the same day, in the very same place and at the exact same time will doubtlessly show differences regarding their elementary (Fire, Water, Earth and Air) and qualitative (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable) distribution. Thirdly, the 12 houses are, of course, differently occupied by the 12 planets and points which represent the 12 zodiacs either in domiciled or exiled position. Alone this fact gives the whole dimension another significant spin when it comes to displaying our endless diversities in characteristics. What's more, the various aspects between the planets definitely become another major key- player as far as variations are concerned. Last but not least, there's our second sign, the so- called Ascendant or AC which any individual birth, lunar, solar, etc. horoscope picture (radix, radices - Latin for root) automatically starts with. Now picture this, the very same way as the sun, the AC shakes up or rather adds on to the entire concoction even more, not just referring to its position in one of the 12 houses plus 12 signs but even the more through its own aspects to all the other planets around. WOW, you might feel tempted to exclaim at this point, and you know what, you're absolutely right! Astrology may still be viewed as an original dérivant of the sister discipline Astronomy at its best but is often said to lack scientific proof since frequently interpreted as a merely coincidental star-  telling way of prophesying. In truth though, the crux with coincidences is that no such thing actually exists. Therefore, in astrology it is clearly ALL subject to a meticulously thought- through cosmic order by a Divine source which we may call God, Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Jesus, Manitou, etc. Astrology does certainly reflect way more than just some mathematical calculations. It truly reveals a considerably impressive well of diverse characteristics and facets only an entity as complex and diverse as the soul itself is capable of displaying. More about how to read into that at a later point in time. Now let's return to the opening statements of how basically everyone - us included- seemingly changes over the years. Why is there so much truth in a claim like this one, you may wonder? Well, the primary or rather sun sign dominates a person's nature for about half of their life. Let's assume, someone is a solid mid- decade Capricorn, and their Ascendant (AC) represents a different sign such as Gemini. He or she will more or less show the typical features associated with Capricorn up to his or her 30s. By then, however, things have oddly started to slightly shift, even though the changes have not broken through just yet. Weird, one may say, and yet deep down inside that person just knows and feels that they are somewhat off a tat or two. So, the further up in age they get, the more their confusion grows. What's actually happening now is indeed an ever the more noticeable change over to the second sign which is Gemini in that suggested case. The AC has always stood for how that person wants to be perceived by the world. Unless the AC is the same sign as the sun sign, this wish is now slowly but surely coming true. Our Capricorn with AC in Gemini is in fact gradually becoming someone else, however, without entirely stripping off their old skin. Now that individual is basically on the verge of being reborn within their original mould and about to create a new layer.

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...
College or no college - That's the question    Now the time is here again for high school graduates to venture off to college and university. I still, to this day, remember being thrilled and overly excited to start as a fresh(wo)man in a new place where studying would go hand in glove with partying for the next few years. I love to see every one's kids swarm out and flock together in college districts and on student campus terrains. Most teenagers get accepted somewhere even though often at second or third choice sites, but they will all have to face one and the same question which is, at what price? Unless you are granted a scholarship, three years and plus of college education costs you an arm and a leg, and if you keep going for more profound specialization, you will be in debts up your neck by the time you have got your PhD. Then what? Go and spit out job applications like a ball machine hoping that someone is going to hire you - unless of course you were lucky eno...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
