How To Understand Astrology

By Dirk White

Can Soul purpose be regarded the same as success? In the sense yes, in that we are able to do really small about it in the personality level, in this lifetime. Our Soul objective is created by ourselves but was set out in previous lifetimes and is currently unfolding. So within this life span we are able to do little else but align with it and live harmoniously, or try and resist the calling and live disharmoniously! (Even experiencing disharmony may be required for our Soul's growth!) In our birth chart the increasing indicator, or ascendant, indicates our Soul purpose. It is our 'Soul Sign'.

Understanding, aligning with and expressing our Soul's Objective is our Life's work. Many individuals fulfil their Internal Objective without having even being aware of it, or necessarily being over a particularly 'spiritual' path. Maybe this really is what we experience as success, when our Soul's journey seems to be beyond the reach of our person attention.

For instance The Internal Sign of the USA is Aquarius(1), and the Soul Indicator of President Obama is Aquarius. Is it a 'coincidence' that the American people chose to elect an Aquarian Internal, to lead a nation (the most influential nation within the globe at this time) that also has an Aquarian Group Soul? Particularly at this particular point in history when, astrologically, we are getting into the Age of Aquarius? Or could it be Destiny? Is it an alignment of person Soul objective with that of the bigger team?

You can find examples in every loved ones and neighborhood of people residing and expressing their Internal objective without being mindful of it. I know a humble, practical, and very shy businessman who would in no way consider himself on a spiritual route of any type. (Nor would he think significantly of Astrology!) He has Cancer Rising so his Soul purpose is to 'build a lighted house and dwell therein'. He wouldn't think about himself a humanitarian, yet his Aquarian sun sign led him into a type of group service. (Humanitarianism and team assistance are Aquarian values) In creating his business, he employed the individuals closest to him: pals, family, and neighbours, in a little, poor, community with higher unemployment.

Although he didn't collection out to 'be a humanitarian' his Aquarian strategy to company by recruiting from the group that he currently belonged to, had unintended humanitarian penalties. There is now a stable core in this neighborhood of people with houses, jobs and families. Without having his input who understands what could have happened right here in a neighbourhood that was deteriorating into unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse? His approach raised the status of the neighbourhood, produced a secure framework, produced work and brought individuals together with a shared purpose to kind a close-knit and supportive community. The truth that this was carried out in the context of 'family and neighbours' is an expression of his Most cancers Internal: Most cancers is the sign from the home and loved ones. So although he doesn't think of it in these terms he is in himself being, and creating, a 'light' in his community. His home. Completely in alignment with his Internal purpose.

If we are able to be fulfilling our Soul objective without having being mindful, is there any stage in learning about our Internal purpose and building attention? The answer is dependent upon the stage of our Soul's development. For several of us, Internal awareness might not be our route within this life span, and so we wouldn't really feel drawn to pursue the matter, as within the example of the businessman above. For some the route requires developing mindful awareness of our Soul work and for others this contains a conscious experience of Internal.

It may be true that you are probably fulfilling your success anyway, also it may also be section of your Soul work in this life span to understand a lot more deeply what that signifies, and to begin consciously producing your long term Soul route: your long term destinies!
