Is there sanctuary?
Our society is being penetrated by an underground life whose desecrations of our being feel like being violated mentally, a process which instils constant fear and stress. This violation is more than merely mental. It has promoted coldness and heart-numbing cynicism. It has weakened our bodies to the point that we cry out for something to alleviate the cravings, to bolster our devastated immune systems. It even enters our dreams encouraging us to feel helpless before it, internally and externally. The demon has us in his embrace and victim mentality takes over. Even the Divine Mother has left us, her apparitions gone.
But has She gone? Or has she merely merged with us and is carrying is, her presence being once again ‘seen’ in 2021 and especially in mid-2022?
Will the demon’s icy grip melt? Will we face down this perpetrator and no longer feed it with our fear, our negativity, our anger and our anxiety?
It may feel like the depth of Winter but if you look carefully, there exists a gentle but strong Light. It is a Force that neither seeks recognition nor power over anyone or thing. It is this Light that is illuminating the Dark Core that has always lain just beneath the surface of the institutions that we have created. This time is no darker than any time previously. We merely cannot ignore its presence. But in times of darkness, there is always light. The two cannot exist without each other. The one that flourishes is the one that you feed.
Which will you choose – the Dark’s sweet ambrosia is so alluring and enticing, but ultimately devastating or the Light’s less appealing simplicity and gentleness, but nourishing and sustaining?

https://www.andrewsmith.ieAstrology has been my sole source of income, my way of being and the way that I live since discovering it on the 17th Jan 1993. Self-taught, I did sojourn with a correspondence course with the Faculty of Astrological Studies under the tutorship of Christine Tate-Wheeler, completing three of the four year training modules in a little under a year. However, I never sat the exams due to my commitments to seeing clients and running a school of astrology called The Dublin Astrological Centre.I’ve been ever so fortunate to have attracted people who wanted to work with me from the very beginning of my path and I’ve worked with clients intensely on a daily basis since 1994. I have a varied clientele, located all over the world, and have worked privately with individuals and corporately with business, sports clubs, political parties and religious institutions for over two decades. My practise is based in my office in Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland, from where I write, divine, create and see clients in person or via ZOOM.Until the time of my movement onto my current path, I was reading Geography in Trinity College, Dublin and playing football, two additional passions I still have today. I currently reside in Greystones, Ireland with my family. My life-partner and wife, Karen, walks the same path as an astrologer and we have two children, Sarah and Maya. Together we run the Blue Rose, a school of astrology and spirituality and have students all over the world who download our classes, join in via ZOOM or attend in person.
My focus is evident in my extensive public writing. I am interested in helping people develop a deeper confidence in their commitment to what they lOve and living what they love. And I would lOve to share my passion with you and to work with you concerning what you love.I look forward to working with you.
