Hi friends, can anyone recommend an astrologer they respect who works with Chiron? Or self-nominate if you are that respectable Chiron-inclusive astrologer yourself? Want to refer a client. Cheers!

G.W.F Hegel

G.W.F Hegel

'Immature minds delight in argumentation and fault-finding, because it is easy enough to find fault, though hard to see the good and its inner necessity. The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything' (G.W F. Hegel, "The Philosophy of Right").

So many reality TV shows are just some guy being a massive asshole to everyone around him and they're all like "wow thank you so much sir I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn from you"

It is better to write something unpolished than to write nothing at all

This reminds me a little of Rumi's metaphor of the tavern, if you're familiar with that one

Ivy articulated this so well. This is essentially part of what I be so afraid of when people first get into astrology beyond a sun sign ; Iโ€™ve seen people online whoโ€™ve fallen down the rabbit hole and it isnโ€™t pretty.

Follow Ivy Underwood on TikTok btw theyโ€™re dropping gems!

Remember in GoT when the Red Woman gave birth to that horrifying spectral demon thing that killed Renly? It was so impactful precisely because until that point in the show we hadn't seen anything like that at all, so it was a genuinely mindblowing what the fuck moment. That's how magic should feel.

I am so tired of common fantasy tropes like "schools of magic" and the standard D&D version of magic where it's this mundane commonplace thing and everyone knows a few spells, etc. For me, magic should feel arcane, shocking and inexplicable - not something you just go to school to learn.

Nothing really stands out, just little
things like my ASC ruler is in Virgo and he has a Virgo stellium, his Sag Jupiter and I have Sag Sun/Mercury but none of that is very remarkable

In a momenrary lapse of composure my mom once told me she named me Robert because she thought Robert Reford was hot and tbh what an honour lol

As Bonatti said, you need to be bold enough to make predictions but humble enough to keep grounded

I am such a firm believer that if you're all high and mighty about yourself because you know astrology you're doing it wrong

If you're the kind of person who likes to say "Um, actually..." then boy do I have a branch of astrology for you!

Of all the things I have said to my horary astrology students, "Horary seems to attract pedants" is perhaps the most accurate ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ah how good! You found a powerful way to lean in. I think recognising it as a phase everyone goes through is such a powerful way of reshaping it, this is the benefit of astrology really
