On Meditation

Astrology is one technique used for keeping in touch with the natural vibrations of our lives.  It is better to use astrology to get in touch, but use our internal intuition to keep in touch.  More than any reading of a chart, more than what any book can say, more than anything else, our first guide should always be what we feel in our hearts.  Information is good, and the mind is great at devising how to do things, but ultimately our hearts speak to the greatest questions of why we do them, which gives it the predominance over any simple tool to be wielded by the mind.
Astrology at its best is a tool of the mind coupled with intuition which is the voice of our spirit.  But before anything we must center ourselves in ourselves.  ultimately we need to be centered and in contact with our internal "why's" or no answer can ever really be helpful.
Find a quiet space.  Sit.  Close your eyes.  Some people concentrate on their slow deliberate breath.  Some people play soft music, some people prefer silence.  But as a thought enters your head dismiss it.  Find this quiet peace every day.  The Voice of spirit can seem very quiet.  But it is underneath everything.  When we are silent we hear it best.  It has been said that prayer is speaking to spirit, but meditation is listenning to it.
This is a sacred conversation.  It is a great thing to begin every day by listening to the universe speak within you.
