Personal Empowerment and the Planets – Part One
It is commonly believed that changes in your life are strongly influenced, if not directly play out, based on the movement of various planets and stars in the heavens. This astrological belief strongly influences currently accepted views on personal power and the ability to manifest changes in life.
As an ancient, venerable system, astrology continues to have an incredibly strong influence on our modern day understanding of personal power and empowerment. And, to the extent that it helps us make sense of what goes on in our lives, those beliefs are quite useful.
The long-lasting vitality of astrological science and its underlying belief system originates from the timeless search for potential and possibility in a world of physicality and limitation. This ancient hunt is the clarion call, the precursor, to personal empowerment and personal power in its more modern context.
Yet, deeper still, the grand search for potential within a world of limits ultimately revolves around the dynamics of movement within consciousness. It is the unlimited energy of consciousness which allows for exploration of personal empowerment and freedom in the first place.
In a thoroughly modern context, the drive to explore includes an allowance to broaden life experiences. And, while planetary movement may well reflect that allowance in a myriad of ways, it is not its cause.
To view the planets otherwise would be like thinking that the indicator lights on a photocopy machine are the cause of the copies made. In point of fact, the indicator lights merely reflect the choices and actions you take to make the copies.
Be sure to take credit for your own creations! As you offer yourself movement in any context, recognize that what you present to yourself is neither generated by something outside yourself nor foisted on you as a victim of circumstance.
From this perspective, the movement of the planets and stars can more accurately been viewed as an expression of your wondrous personal power rather than the reason or cause of your own individual, creative, conscious movement. This enriching and empowering perspective about your own energy is your way to personal power and freedom.
