I have been to many astrologers in my time. I also read many books on the subject in my youth. At first (in my twenties), I wanted to know about my future. As I got older, I discovered that it is far more important as a tool for self-understanding. Now, I realize that it is only a limited window from within which to view yourself. If you are not careful, you can be labeled as your zodiac sign and other aspects of your chart which limit your ability for growth. They also thwart your ability to evolve beyond these constructs. Sometimes, it reminds me of psychology and the labels used to place people in a pathological box for their entire lives. This way, they will never heal which is their ultimate aim, anyway. The mainstream ‘health’ industry is in the business of creating pathology – lifelong customers.
Astronomy
Astrology is an extremely bastardized form of astronomy. I did not realize how bastardized until recently. The charts, or systems that are now commonly used are man-made constructs. They did not have the intelligence required to create these systems, they simply took what they discovered – the original knowledge – and transformed it to suit their purposes.
Numbers, as we now know them, did not exist until a few thousand years ago (learn more here). Days of the week did not exist until a few thousand years ago. Our calendars are all wrong: the beginning of the year should always be in Spring – the Spring Equinox – which occurs during Aries season in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, Spring begins during Libra season, September 22nd.
All of this means that we are not living within the Natural cycles of time – it is a fake system, or Matrix, if you will. If you comprehend that this is spiritual at its core, we are being forced through some type of fake, restrictive filter not only when we are born, but also on a daily basis through the entire construct of time that we have been led to believe is of God, or Nature.
Twenty-Four Ancient Constellations
The Ancient Greeks (more specifically, the Pelasgians), worked with twenty-four ancient constellations (The Greek Origin of Freemasonry, 1956, 2nd edition, p. 90). I find it interesting that the Greek alphabet has twenty-four letters. As I have explained in a few of my articles, letters were the first and only true numbers since they are tied to the coding/blueprint of life. The Greek alphabet is the only one in the world that is connected specifically to this coding (genetics). So, whatever system of ‘astrology’ that they had, it was totally different to what is currently available. And totally aligned with the true Cycles of Time.
For all of the reasons mentioned thus far, I do not read astrological charts when I write my astrology articles. I look up the dates of the transits, and the rest is me. I could say that it is an intuitive interpretation of what is going on but it is way more than this since all of this knowledge came from my ancestors in the very beginning – it is encoded in my DNA.

Free Will
There are some astrologers that believe if you have your correct birth time, your chart should map your entire life, to a T. It is difficult to know if you do have your correct birth time because unless there was a family member who was specifically assigned the task of writing down your birth time, or a very pedantic nurse was in the room during labor, no-one has a 100% accurate birth time. I used to work on a maternity ward in a women’s hospital when I was a university student. Based on my experiences, the doctors and nurses were primarily concerned with the health of the mother and child(ren). It stands to reason, that many birth times are off by anything from one to five minutes. Since I now know that our current construct of time is artificial, I do not adhere to this theory. This philosophy totally negates our inherent Free Will.
I am not saying that you cannot get accurate information from a birth chart – I am very much a Capricorn. I have also found that my Pisces North Node (Point of Destiny) is true in terms of my life’s purpose.
Under another astrological system, I am a Sagittarius with an Aquarius North Node. This, too, is accurate since I do love to travel, learn and philosophize, like a Sagittarius and I am here to help usher in the Age of Aquarius. This particular system of astrology ignores the moon and ascendant. As the astrologer explained to me, “The Sun is the Source of Life, so it’s all about the Sun.” I agree with him. (The Sun is also the True Keeper of Time.)
Another astrologer I went to, had tremendous knowledge of the constellations, asteroids, etc. They all had Greek names which was further proof to me that all of this knowledge did come from the Hellenes in the first place. She told me that my entire chart was dominated by the planet Uranus – the Sky God. He is one of the rulers of Aquarius which brings me back to the Age of Aquarius and my role in this lifetime to aid its inception. But I am also very Aquarian in my outlook on life – freedom-loving.
One astrologer was honest enough to tell me that you will never know everything about an individual via their birth chart. I wholeheartedly agree with her.
Birth charts can predict certain events in your life but you still have Free Will as far as what it is that you will decide to do. Everything is not set in stone.
Here are a couple of real life examples:
1/ Twenty years ago, an astrologer who used the Chinese system, told me that I was going to enter into a long-term relationship with a man the following year. I did meet this man, and even though the love was there on both sides, I exercised my Free Will and left after a couple of months. I did not like the circumstances that I would have had to endure if I had remained with him. As difficult as it was I realized very quickly, that I dodged a bullet by putting myself first in that situation.
2/ I once knew a woman who was in an on-again-off-again relationship with a man for ten years. One day he reached a point where he had had enough, so he cut off from her completely. She was devastated but when this was done, a whole bunch of new men entered her life almost as if by magic. This made her realize that she had other options. An astrologer acquaintance of hers did her birth chart around the time of this break up. She told her that according to her chart, she should have been married already. Even though she was not married, the whole world did not come to an end. In this case, her former boyfriend exercised his Free Will and it set her free, too.
The Power Of Genetics
Where and when you were born will tell you next to nothing compared to your genetics – your lineages – your true history. I have discovered this recently with my Biblical research and delving deeper into the genetic knowledge embedded within it. As I stated further up, our concept of time is artificial and it forces us into an artificial life, or identity. Countries are artificial constructs too, and as time goes on, this shall be revealed to the masses. Even though I was born very far away from my ancestral homeland, I am tied to it because my ancestors are the original custodians of the land. Being born so far away did not change my genetics. I look like my parents, I recall ancestral traumas and knowledge without any kind of study. The only thing that assisted in the recovery and strengthening of my genetics was the intense forms of spiritual healing that I have undertaken in order to wipe my DNA (internal hard drive) from all of the crap that had been placed there by others to make me/us forget my/our true heritage.
And now it is time to reclaim it ALL.
