Michael: as an astrologer i look at where those bodies were when you were born. Carl Jung, in his studies of astrology, says that everthing that occurs in a moment of time shares the quality of that moment. this keys me into what the character, personality, and (sometimes) soul's purpose for this lifetime. then, i compare with what is going on in the skies (as above, so below) to what was at birth, that leads me into areas of ease or dis-ease (difficulty) for my client. Ee then move into discussion and exploration of options
WhorsewHOST: where can i find additional information on this
Michael: again, about.com is an excellent resource in their astrology site - i would suggest contacting a competent astrologer
WhorsewHOST: do you have a web site michael
Michael: no, not yet
WhorsewHOST: do you do any of this via the Internet if someone would desire to email you?
Michael: you could contact the American Federation of Astrologers or the National Council for Geocosmic Research...each refers to their qualified astrologers. whw, i consult in my office or by telephone...i would also be willing to refer to an astrologer close to you
WhorsewHOST: do you have any closing recommendations michael? Maybe others have some questions
Michael: please, questions anyone?
Pooky: How important is it to know the time of birth?
TaoHOST: i have one, but i'll let others go first
Michael: very important, time of birth determines what position of the sky is rising on the horizon and above and below the earth, as well as setting...the planets are in a certain position of the sky. so the time determines where those planets are, but...you can make significant determinations by just the date born
Pooky: so although important, if you can't or don't know then it can still be an accurate reading?
Michael: yes, indeed pooky...just not ""as accurate"" as a known birthtime
Michael: just knowing what element you sun was in when you were born is very helpful for health and well-being most astrology sites will tell you what element your sun sign is
Pooky: ty. from that you can seek out those foods, activities, experiences that enhance that
Michael: yw, pooky
WhorsewHOST: i want to thank you once again michael for sharing with us. maybe we can do another one that goes further in depth some time soon
Michael: that would be my pleasure...and i thank all of you for the opportunity to share my knowledge in my search for truth
TaoHOST: michael thanks for being here and sharing with us
Michael: yw, tao
GloryGirl: yw Thank you for your time!
Pooky: ty Michael
WhorsewHOST: please share your question tao
Michael: my pleasure, all....
TaoHOST: michael, this is very esoteric, but have you looked at approaches like Annie Besant's?
Michael: yes, indeed, tao
Michael: she was a contempary of Alice Bailey
TaoHOST: obviously, choice to agree or not, but what is your opinion of the concept of spiritual entities being responsible for the energies shared by planets, constellations, etc. as a way to describe Divine Purpose behind those energies
Michael: i agree with the concept of holism (wholes within wholes)...so i find the contemplation of...in whom do we move and have our being"" to be a fruitful search. Theosophy and anthroposophy are retlated fields of study
WhorsewHOST: welcome to healing/newage chat candy
TaoHOST: agree...thanks...is possible to find harmony in many approaches
TaoHOST: yes....anthroposophy is very interesting...Rudolf Steiner
Michael: will need to say goodnight, as i have a bit of packing to do for tomorrow's 2-day fair. i'll be doing astrology/tarot readings there
WhorsewHOST: walk in beauty everyone
Michael: and in light, whw
