Believing vs Knowing

Is astrology a belief or a fact? From skepticism to 30 years of mastery, discover how understanding your natal chart can help you navigate “The Game of Life”.

Sometimes in conversation with people regarding astrology, they tell me, “I believe in astrology”.
It reminds me one of the last interviews that a renown psychiatry and psychoanalyst named Carl Jung responded the reported when he was asked if after all his personal and professional life, he believed in God.
Yung responded, “I don’t believe in God, I know God exist”.

There is a profound difference between believing in something and knowing that something is or exists, even when it is hard to define why.
You know what I’m talking about, because everybody had at least one time in their life, certainty about something, even if there was no explanation to support it.

We understand the ‘knowing’ as something that we learned because of information acquired, personal experience or deduction.

My encounter with the unknown

My first encounter with astrology was because a friend took me to see an astrologer (very well known) and he did my natal chart. It was about one hour of describing me inside out.
I did not accept the concept that whatever the drawing with symbol he was looking at had all the information he was telling me. I even asked my friend after the visit if he previously talk with the astrologer about me. My friend responded that he did not, that he invited me because he thought I would be interested.

I was not going to leave things just like that. There must be an explanation.
I asked the astrologer if I could schedule another visit with him, mainly to have a chat about astrology, I needed to understand how that worked.
Making long story short, he became my instructor. I studied astrology to prove that it did not work 100 % of the time. That there was some truth to it, but not more than that.

From Skepticism to Mastery

Here I am, 30 years later having a blog on astrology and self-development, done hundreds of successful consultations and I having written 3 books on the subject.
I can say that it took me a while to accept and believe that astrology worked. It was not a gut feeling; it was a process of learning and experience that took me to the position where I’m today.

Let me ask you, do you believe in astrology, or do you know that astrology works?

Astrology is not for recreational purposes only. It’s a fountain of information that has being around for thousands of years and if you use it wisely, it can transform your life. First it will put in front of your eyes who you are, how you are constructed energetically and mentally, what are your strengths and weaknesses. It is not judgmental, it’s just information. Like your DNA, it is what it is.

The Game of Life

The secret relies on how you use that information. With what astrology provides you can build empires using your strengths or if the information is ignored, you can be a beggar wondering about life waiting for a struck of ‘luck’. Your life cycles are there for a purpose, just like the four seasons, the day and the night and the rest of cycles we travel through life. Astrology helps you to navigate those cycles.

Astrology is available to everyone. Everyone is offered the same possibility. You have free will to decide.

Or maybe you already know that astrology works and you are using it for managing your life, or better known as, “The game of life”.

  1. From my own experience – I know. I also know that interpretation is an intuitive art (another form of knowing). Astrologers I’ve encountered seem to read some people extremely well, and completely miss with others. It might be due to getting too rigid in some “textbook” meaning of an aspect rather than a holistic sense of the internal logic of each chart. What are your thought and experiences with this?

    1. Dear Susan, thank you for your comments and for sharing your thoughts. In my experience, each reading is unique. When I look at a natal chart, certain elements stand out to me without any deliberate analysis.
      Generally, I begin by focusing on the position and aspects of Saturn. This gives me a strong sense of the type of person I’m reading. After that, I turn to the Sun sign, Moon, and Ascendant. Depending on how prominent Saturn is in the chart, it helps guide the direction of the reading, with the rest of the planets, their aspects, and the houses involved filling in the details.
      I often discover one key aspect that drives the reading and shapes the client’s main area of interest. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to chart readings, which is why the conversation with the astrologer is so important.
      My goal isn’t to tell people things they already know about themselves, but to explain why they are the way they are. I’ve had a lot of “aha!” moments with clients because of that.
