Understand Astrology’s Role in Your Life – Day 0
30 Days to Using Astrology Consciously
By Kathy Biehl
Astrology is a full-spectrum guidance system that can help you understand and plan every single aspect of your life. The more you know about it and the more you use it, the more consciously you can work with the energies within yourself, within other people and out in the world. You can make the most of opportunities, transform obstacles and challenges into stepping stones and springboards and learn to ride the currents rather than fight them.
Read on for an overview of some of the major ways of using astrology.
Weather Forecasting
You check the weather report, don’t you? You wouldn’t go outside in a bikini if the forecast was for temperatures in the 20s, and you wouldn’t schedule picnic when a thunderstorm is on the way. Astrology can give you the same type of information about the atmosphere.
Consult it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for the general outlook. It’ll give a heads-up for people’s moods, including your own, so you won’t be as surprised during those inevitable times when everyone seems to have gone crazy. Other general astrological information that is useful to consider includes:
Moon phases. Farmers have been using the moon phases for centuries, and they can help thoroughly modern you as well. Set goals and intentions, make wishes and launch projects on a new moon (when the moon first enters a sign). Some people like to wait until the crescent moon is visible in the sky; anytime within the first three days is generally good. Look for the culmination and harvest of your efforts when the moon is full, about two weeks later. And when the moon has passed fullness and is growing dark, let things lie.
