How Did My Astrological Work Begin?
Astrology is an intuitive art and the more one works with it, the more one somehow knows. You have no idea where it’s coming from, it’s just there. All along life has been my best teacher and the only astrology teacher I ever had was Wilfred, a Sun Scorpio, Moon in Cancer and Ascendant in Virgo. He was a highly enlightened man who had been practising the Divine science for thirty years when he decided to share some of his wealth of knowledge by teaching. He soon gathered around him a small group of about six people and proceeded to teach us all there is to know about the basics of astrology. It was very important to him that we should be able to erect a birthchart manually, so that we could later check whether our computer program was giving us the right information.
Each time Wilfred told us about another aspect of astrology that was new to others, I had an uncanny feeling of déjà-vu, that I knew it already. I couldn’t work out at the time why this should be so, but by now it is clear to me that I must have been a astrologer as well as writer, either each on its own or together, in previous lifetimes. The way I understand our existence now, both things as soon as I started practising them came to me with such ease that it cannot have been any other way.
All my writings are of an intuitive nature and the Astro Files were their beginning. Wilfred taught us with the help of ‘The Modern Textbook of Astrology, Revised Edition by Margaret E. Hone, D.F. Astrol. S.’ It’s such an excellent book that I have kept it to this day and once in a while refer back to it when I need to freshen up about some technicality. For a while I did birthchart interpretations for people. I did them free of charge. So that I didn’t have to repeat things endlessly, I began to write down my interpretations of the various aspects of someone’s chart and kept each one of them in a separate file for use in future use.
My first Astro File was the Sun in Virgo. I read what Margaret Hone’s book had to say about it and then retold the whole thing in my own words. With further charts the other Sun sign interpretations came into being in the same way. Each time I opened one of my existing files, new things came to mind, so I updated them by adding what I had learned from my observations of the people around me as well as what came to mind intuitively. In the course of many years this way the files grew and grew.
Therefore, should anyone wish to know where I did or do my research for the Astro Files, my answer is: within. Apart from their small beginnings gleaned from Margaret Hone’s book, every bit of each one of them was given to me or rather through me by my inner teacher, the wise one within. Thanks and praise be to Thee, for the help you are giving me at all times and in so many different ways.
