Introduction 

When it started.

My love affair with astrology started on my twenty-second birthday, I treated myself to my first horoscope interpretation by astrologer, Vicki Green, who was also my neighbor. The session with Vicki triggered a dramatic shift in my inner world, the second within three months.

Just before Vicki’s reading

My interest in astrology was piqued in July before my birthday. I housesat for a week or two during the summer at a beautiful riverfront colonial style home in Norfolk, Virginia. The house was immaculate, and everything, and I do mean everything was in its place, except for one item that was clearly “out of place” as if meant to get my attention.

Omens and messages for the soul.

It seemed that a book had been carefully placed on the highly-waxed-light- reflecting-without-a-single-speck-of-dust mahogany dining room table. It’s somewhat askew position got my attention. When something stands out like that, it can be considered an omen or message for Awareness expansion.

There is a River

In this case, when I read the title, There is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce by Thomas Sugrue, the original biography of Edgar Cayce that explored Cayce’s life and work, my inner mystic was intensely intrigued. Once I started reading the book, I could not put it down.

I was appreciatively intrigued to everything written in the book, but several things stood out and one of them was astrology. This was a time the internet was not available to study astrology online as so many currently do. So, the stars were on my radar when my birthday rolled around October 1st. When my neighbor, Vicki, mentioned she was an astrologer, I treated myself to having her interpret my chart.

Having my chart done for the first time.

Sitting there across from Vicki and listening to her read my chart, I was mesmerized. I had not once in my life ever had anyone talked about “me” for any length of time, much less for three solid hours like she did. Vicki said for this first session, she would focus on my birth chart. As she spoke, I felt safe, nurtured and trusting, like I was being completely understood for the first time in my life by this astrologer I barely knew.

A life instruction book that keeps up with the times.

Finally! I found astrology to be a human life instruction book I could really use, one that would teach me how to navigate my life. I felt like I died and had gone to heaven again, so overjoyed at the experience was I. The introduction to my chart gave me the confidence from that point forward to follow my life as guided from within.

I have studied astrology ever since. Even after fifty years of paying deep attention to the study, I am still a student compared to what will come to Light around this simple yet cosmically profound subject.

Most of all, my Astrology chart interpretation pointed me to self-reflect on deeper aspects of my Being. These included profound gifts and traumatic patterns. Astrology prepared me for integrating non-dual existence and how to bring balance to life-navigation in my Earth Dream role as Kaye. 

Helping others with Astrology

I started offering astrology charts to others, for free, of course. Let’s say I was obsessed and would do anyone’s chart who would let me. I would study them for hours and then when the time came, I was ready to share what I could see in their charts.

When I took a job at the Heritage Store in Virginia Beach, the owner offered to send a letter out to his mail-order customers offering my charts for sale, and I could keep all the money and could build a list of clients. Within months, I had mail order clients from all over the United States!

The more charts I did, the more I learned, and the more I fell in love with astrology, and the more I was referred. My business as an astrologer, blossomed, and I always felt like I was doing what I was supposed to do, because it was so easy, and at all sort of fell in my lap.

There’s even more to love about astrology.

Through astrology we learn how connected we are to something much greater than most of us know. We learn that life unfolds in specific cycles and patterns; some support us while others cause us to stop, look and listen to learn to flow with our charts rather than resist our connection to the cosmos.

If we listen to the wisdom of the planets and stars, it teaches us to love and accept our humanness, while discovering who we are and how to feel connected to all that is. The planets and stars guide our best decisions in any given circumstance, and as we increase our listening skills of these subtle but powerful relationships in our lives, confidence grows.

Astrology can show us clarity to better understanding our human relationships, too, and how to get the most out of them. If we’re fortunate and can look at the charts of those we love, we can better understand their motivation, strengths and weaknesses, too.

Finishing up.

Each child is born with something to give. The chart can point to one’s avocation or career path as soon as birth. Having this information can help give a child stimuli, which lines the child up to do what they love from the very beginning. A world that does this will see a huge change in one generation. 

Here’s hoping you enjoyed my blog on my love affair with Astrology. If I missed something, and you love astrology, too, let me know in the Comments. Thank you.

Love and Gratitude for the Planets and Stars,
Kaye
