“I knew pretty much nothing about astrology before my reading with Caroline but everything she said not only made sense but also felt really right. It was so useful to understand aspects of my personality and what makes me tick. Caroline’s whole approach felt modern and fresh and she gave really tangible guidance and advice. I loved how she broke down the next few months and what we can expect. She even touched on my relationship with my dad which I found really healing as it helped me to understand the dynamic a bit better. I would highly recommend Caroline and think she has a natural gift. Thank you Caroline! x” ~ Anna Pearce
I have long been fascinated by astrology and planetary energy and have been studying astrology as a passionate hobby for many years. As a result, I realised that astrology has much synergy with the psychological aspect of my client work so I’ve decided to include it now as an additional service by popular demand and constant curiosity from friends and connections! I continue to be fascinated with the amazing synchronicity planetary placements have on people’s personality and behaviours. The astro birth chart is an extremely valuable coaching tool for understanding and making sense of life experience and can bring relief to many questions. One of those being “am I on the right path?”.
Your astro birth chart is like your own personal thumb-print and can guide and help ensure you are on the right track. When you follow your birth chart promise, you are in the flow and will experience much deep, inner fulfilment.
We are all on a journey and there are many tools to help us make sense of things along the way. Astrology is one of them but it’s never about pigeon-holing someone into a “Virgo” or “Gemini” characteristic, though the sun’s position at the time of our birth does have a strong impact on our personality and behaviour. We are all unique, each birth chart is unique and our experience and perception of life is unique. So I offer this service as an insight for curious and open minds. If this resonates, book a reading with me here.
Astrology and Me
As I don’t put my name to things easily, it has taken me a lot of chart reading, research and understanding my own birth chart to really validate the power of astrology and what it represents, and in particular the wonderful unison it has with psychology. Famous psychologist Carl Jung and the genius scientist Einstein are just some of our famous ancestors who had fascination with it.
I used to love reading the trashy horoscopes section in the newspapers at home. Most of the time it was artificial nonsense that gave astrology a bad name for a few decades, and due to the fact that most people want validation from science, why would people believe it? So I decided that the greatest proof was to understand and validate it for myself. Since I have been studying and researching the topic of astrology, I have discovered some incredibly distinct patterns and information. In particular my perceptions and experiences in life very much coinciding with the particular positions of the planets and the aspects they make, or made in my birth chart. I have done synastry charts (where I compare a chart with another person or family member) which has thrown up very fascinating results. I have also discovered very synchronistic events that coincide with planetary placements as they transit our infinite universe.
How does astrology work?
There is much to say here but here is an intro:
The earth is surrounded by a huge magnetic field and the universe is choc full of energy, what happens up above can very much affect us down below. Just as the tide ebbs and flows with the moon, our moods can be affected too. The sun emits solar flares frequently and this can affect the magnetic field of the earth and in addition, our personal energy field. Photosynthesis proves that our plants and wildlife rely heavily on the solar light of the sun, as does our psyche and wellbeing. So if the moon and the sun have so much power, why wouldn’t the other planets and stars in our universe do the same?
How can astrology help me?
Astrology is a guidance tool, it can help to navigate important decisions where you can harness the energy of aspects that planets make to your birth chart, or as they transit around the constellations.
- You can understand and make sense of your relationship to your partner, family members and friends.
- You can use your birth chart to help you discover if you are on your true career path.
- You can understand some of the difficult challenges you’ve experienced in life.
- You can look to future planetary transits and see how they may affect you.
Astrology doesn’t necessarily have all the answers but it can certainly help to navigate our own inner compass. You are the decision maker after all.
If science did not validate astrology, who did?
Research shows that it was the Babylonians, Greeks shortly followed by the Egyptians who as we know were way ahead in ancient history. Also the Royals, Governments and people of special importance used astrology for important decision making. There are many stories of how the ancients and royals used astrology to predict major events tied very closely to eclipses and planetary shifts, and often these predictions were so incredibly precise.
I genuinely believe we are all energetically interconnected in some way. Science is catching up with this and there are numerous studies on this phenomenon. I intend to get a library of research links together once I have my new website up.
Excerpt taken from the American Federation of Astrologers
“The Babylonians are generally credited with the birth of astrology. Their astrological charts enabled them to predict the recurrence of seasons and certain celestial events. So in the beginning and for more than 2,000 years, astrology and astronomy were the same science. Babylonian astrology was introduced to the Greeks early in the 4th century B.C. and, through the studies of Plato, Aristotle, and others, astrology came to be highly regarded as a science. It was soon embraced by the Romans (the Roman names for the zodiacal signs are still used today) and the Arabs and later spread throughout the entire world. While earliest astrology was used to bring a sense of order out of apparent chaos, it was soon utilized to predict weather patterns, primarily for agricultural purposes. It was eventually broadened to include forecasts of natural disasters and war and other events in the course of human affairs. Amassing successes in these fields, it was a natural progression for astrology to be used as counsel for kings and emperors and, in time, for all of us.”
