More about my path toward astrology

Believe it or not, you will never find a tougher critic of astrology than myself. I have spent many years poking fun at western astrology and those who live by it. Sudden life events led me to find Vedic astrology, which I fell in love with immediately. I became mesmerized by the science and the magic in all of it. What I love so much about Vedic astrology is how transformative it is. It is like a mirror into our soul's purpose and into the patterns that play out in our lives. Moreover, it is a great tool for strengthening your spirituality/connection to God. I wasn't aware how much I needed this science in my life until I started my spiritual awakening four years ago, in 2020. It wasn’t until September of 2023 that my path started to become clear.

Let me go on a tangent and explain this from an astrological point of view. The planet, Jupiter, as well as most other planets, are of extreme significance in Vedic astrology. Jupiter is a guru, a preacher, an advisor, a father. His main purpose is to guide your soul to higher wisdom, to spirituality, to God. In Vedic astrology, there are different time periods in your life that are governed by a specific planet—This is advanced stuff so bear with me, lol—These time cycles are called dashas. In 2020, I hit my Jupiter Dasha, and, apparently, I had some lessons to learn, and boy did I ever. My life, which was going well, for what felt like the first time ever, went up in smoke.

 let me reiterate that this will NOT happen for everyone, the timing and the effects of planetary dashas will depend on an individual’s chart.

In July of 2020, my husband, 33 at the time, had a seizure that caused him to have a stroke. Thankfully, he survived, and after a week of pure Hell, he was released from the hospital. To make matters worse this was all during Covid, so the world was a mess.

 In an effort to condense this because nobody reads anymore, sigh, we will skip past 3 more years filled with, I am trying to think of a good word for it, trials and tribulations (so dramatic, lol, that be the Libra ascendant : ). On July 4th of 2023 I passed out while watching fireworks with my family. An ambulance was called, and I was taken to the hospital, where they shortly released me, claiming it was probably the heat. Two months later, I would be back in the emergency room with a heart rate dropping as low as 29 beats per minute. I was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome (it’s a heart thing) and given a pacemaker. As scary as this ordeal was, it was a gift. It is my belief that God sent Jupiter to shake up my life, so that I could be in the right moment, at the right time. The time I had taken to heal lead me to astrology. Astrology led me to self-discovery and the recognition of my true path and of the things I am meant to do on earth, weather I feel like it or not.

My job is to take the pain that I have endured over the course of this lifetime and to use it to help other heal others and guide them to their individual path. In my adulthood, I have always known that I was supposed to help people. I have spent most of my life doing it, and over the past 10 years, I have been working with children, mostly in the special education/ behavioral intervention field.

To go back to my first thought, I never would have assumed that my path would lead me to the field of astrology. I was once a cynic, now, well I am still a cynic, but riveted and enthralled by the beauty and the magic, not to mention accuracy, of chart interpretation. Moreover, I love the connection I get to have with others when they see that I see their truth (which, BTW, always has negative behavioral patterns mixed in, I encourage everyone to never be ashamed or afraid of it, understand that we all have a purpose, use it to make yourself better).
