Astrology: Can We Rewrite The Stars?

Three years ago I went back to London for a summer and signed up for class at The College of Psychic Studies. The main reason for the trip was two months of angel reading classes, which served as a teacher training. To make the most of the trip, I signed up for half a dozen classes at the College including Psychic Astrology with Demian Allan, who uses a "building-blocks" approach to teaching astrology. That was when it started to click for me. 

One of the distinctive things about Demian's class is how he has students walk on a wheel of the Zodiac, feeling its energy. It sounds crazy, but if we activate our intuition we can see what Leo, Aquarius or Aries feel like. This helps put astrology transits into perspective because we feel the energy and know it's not mental. In one of my favorite exercises we brought down the Moon's energy to awaken our intuition as well as our sense of empathy. 




We also see how character traits that annoy us are often part of our shadow. The clashes we have with others have little to do with their personalities, and everything to do with our natal placements.  

Can We Rewrite The Stars? 

Later that summer, I signed up for Demian's Astrology & Magic workshop where he taught us how to download the energy of the signs and planets with guided meditations. Since then I have gone deeper with astrology, including the planets and signs in healing sessions, and using the natal chart as a roadmap for healing. 

Natal Astrology helped me focus my healing sessions in ways that I can't even describe. The past year I’ve been sharing my experiences on a site called The Dark Pixie Astrology. 

Please click on the titles to read the posts: 

1) Healing The Shadow With Crystal Therapy. Natal astrology taught me that “my shadow is someone else’s light” and that the things I dislike about myself can become strengths. But only if I learn to accept myself for who I am, integrating the shadow.

2) Chakras, Energy Healing & Planetary Magic We can integrate our shadow by downloading planetary energies (see meditation below), but first, ground yourself by activating the Earth Star Chakra, and observe your Soular Chakra. This gives us the energetic foundation to be able to channel the Zodiac.  

3) A Do-It-Yourself Astrological Pharmacy There will be times when astrological transits have us feeling flustered. I have been seeing it a lot the past year in energy healing sessions, especially with clients who are feeling Pluto's transit through Capricorn. In this blog post, we look at crystals and flower remedies to help us balance that energy, though grounding yourself is essential too. 


4) Heal Your Heart With The Moon. This is a personal favorite as we meet the archangels that correspond to the four Elements. The focus is on healing the Heart so that we can open up to receive. In clairvoyant meditations, I picture a healed Heart as pure gold.

5) Bring Your Destiny to Life with Tarot. We look at the Moon's Nodes and illustrate their challenges with tarot. Jan Spiller's Astrology for the Soul first introduced me to the topic and converted me from skeptic to enthusiast. Spiller points the way to bravery and happiness through our North Node sign. What are you most uncomfortable with and how do you get past it?

6) Moon Magick: Transform Your Life with the Light of the Stars  My book, Chakra Healing & Magick, ends with a teaser for a future book on healing with magick + astrology. I am working on a class too; it includes the themes in this post. 

7) Intuitive Healing, Astrology & your Aura. This looks at how planetary energies are felt in the Aura and how we can ground, heal and integrate that energy. Read this for an overview; you’ll need to apply the tools in Chapters 5 & 7 of Chakra Healing & Magick. 





Harnessing The Zodiac's Energy

We can also use energy healing meditations to download qualities that we'd like to have. The timing is very important, you can learn how to choose the right time for your meditations in this class

Below you'll find a meditation that helps us download the intuitive, transformative and powerful qualities of Scorpio; using the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter as the point of connection. The best time to do this meditation is at dawn on the day that corresponds to the planet that we're connecting with. In this case, Wednesday for Mercury or Thursday for Jupiter. This timing applies as long as the planet is in Scorpio; both are in Scorpio the rest of the month! We can repeat the meditation once a week this October to activate our intuition. 




This meditation goes with the article below, on boosting your intuition with Scorpio energy (Read it HERE). Along the same lines, we can download Jupiter’s benefic qualities by applying some of the tools in my article titled: Spread Your Wings with Jupiter (HERE). You can practice these techniques at any time, but the effect will be strongest when Jupiter transits the signs of Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer. 


One Last Astrology Tip!  

That summer I discovered a gem of a book, The Joy of the Zodiac by Amanda Starr. It is pocket-sized and describes each of the signs and planets in just enough detail for beginners to understand. For months,  I carried it with me and slowly studied the different signs. It doesn’t cover birth charts, though. You’ll find an introduction to chart reading HERE

Thank you for reading Diary of a Psychic Healer!
