Thank you! I thought I was fully through it but feeling a bit of a dip today. Sorry again for the slowness, and as usual thank you all for being patientTake care of yourself! Have a quick recovery!!
There was this in the August 9, 1997 session:
I get it. This begs the question though: if someone has psychic talents but relies on a distorted system or method, how can an clean message come out of that?The art of astrology lies within the interpretations of the astrologer, and if accurate, it is because of psychic talents. Same as with all methods, they are merely mediums.
Sorry, I'm just trying to better understand the seemingly inconsistent approach of the elders of these forums to the idea of astrology (which I'm interested in myself )
And I apologize for responding so late. I was just reflecting on this topic this morning so I decided to ask about it here.
Artemis, I agree with you. I'm referring to the impression I got after reading this thread that astrology as a system of knowledge is distorted (e.g. they inserted at some point the sign of Libra etc.). But on the other hand, the Cassiopeans have also said: "The art of astrology lies within the interpretations of the astrologer, and if accurate, it is because of psychic talents." Hence my question: if someone has psychic talents but relies on a distorted system or method, how can a clean message come out of that?I am not sure to what you are referring. Apologies as I've been a bit busy so I might be missing something. But anyhow, from what I have learned about modern/mainstream astrology is that it can be spiritually detached, overly focused on materialism, and sometimes used as some form of judgment and to maintain hierarchies. Essentially reduced to like a neat personality parlor trick. I see this as sort of a diminishing take, much like how modern/mainstream art sort of mocks real art and beauty. <-- All that, IMO, is part of the distorted system.
With that said, my own interpretation and understanding of it is that it is a useful tool for understanding one's life mission, blue print, emotional nature, blocks and life lessons, as a way to guide them. However, not everyone keeps this in mind when talking about astrology and sometimes misuse it or see it as an "excuse" for certain things, or use it to further limit themselves or others. This, of course, applies to many practices and studies in this world.

Little note: last readings almost done <3
Artemis, alright, I get it and it does answer my question. My approach to astrology is actually the same as yours, I just had some doubts that perhaps astrology itself is distorted, but now you say that it is all about the approach, so that confirms what I also think is the right way to think about it Thank you for your answer!@Paweł
Yes, I see what you are trying to say, and understand. Like I said above in my post about what I think the distortions are, and how I approach/interpret astrology - I think it is in the approach, that simultaneously keeps in mind the distortions that makes all the difference regarding the clarity of the messages. I hope that helps answer your question a bit better. Sorry if I can be a bit confusing.
