Shedding Light on Healing: The Astrological Way
Empaths, may you find solace in knowing that you are not alone in carrying the weight of your past. As humans, we come with our unique set of experiences – both joyful and traumatic. While we all may not share the same story, our collective struggle with past traumas is something that unites us. But, ever wondered, if there was a way to transcend this suffering, using something as ancient and awe-inspiring as Astrology?
Unlocking the Healing Power of Astrology
With a history that dates back to the 3rd Millennium BC, astrology has been a potent guiding force for humanity. It paves the way for self-reflection, allowing us to understand the celestial correlation to our earthly experiences, sometimes even explain them.
Astrological Insights and Healing
Astrology reaches much more profound than our daily horoscopes. It’s a cosmic blueprint of our possible experiences and how we can navigate through life. Any planet’s placement at a particular time, Mercury retrograde, for example, corresponds to events occurring in our realm. When Mercury retrogrades, it’s not the planet moving backward. Instead, it appears to do so due to its shorter orbit around the sun. This phase is widely associated with communication breakdowns, trips, or business plans going awry, causing stress and unrest.
Real-life Situations and Astrological Influence
Absolute belief in astrology isn’t required to benefit from its wisdom. Sometimes, astounded by its precision, even the non-believers find it worth exploring. Julia, an entrepreneur, always planned her business tactics with the help of a knowledgeable astrologer. She found her actions aligned with the planetary movements, yielding successful outcomes – her sudden haste in decision-making corresponding to Mercury retrograde periods. Although she was initially skeptical, Julia acknowledged astrology as a guiding map to maneuver her business strategies.
Practical Advice
- Understanding the effect of your birth chart and current planetary movement is a good start. A professional astrologer could help with this.
- Journaling your patterns, particularly during known planetary transits (like retrogrades), can reveal how these affect you personally.
- During stressful astrological periods, employ calming techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep-breathing exercises to manage anxiety.
Common Misconceptions
Mercury retrograde is infamous for being challenging. However, it’s a period for slowing down, reassessing, and reconnecting. Blaming all setbacks on it is a misconception, as astrological events are interpreters, not causatives. Each planet’s retrograde has its own unique effect and not all of them have negative consequences.
Astrological Tools
Chart-making websites provide a basic layout of your birth chart. Resources like ‘The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need’ by Joanna Martine Woolfolk and ‘Healing Pluto Problems’ by Donna Cunningham offer valuable insight into astrology’s healing aspect. Furthermore, apps like AstroMatrix and TimePassages give daily planetary updates and customized readings.
Case Studies
Well-known personalities like J.P. Morgan, who used astrology to guide his financial decisions, attributed much of his success to this ancient wisdom. Others, including Carl Jung, a distinguished psychiatrist, used astrology to help understand his patients’ subconscious patterns.

Final Thoughts
