The only way to give the natural world an opportunity to recover is to reduce human pressure on it. That means abandoning our addiction to growth and to the consumer society and focusing instead on progress in the social, cultural and spiritual components of life.
Baha’u’llah, of the Baha’I faith, writes “…be content with little, and be freed from all inordinate desire… Take from this world only to the measure of your needs, and forego that which exceedeth them.”
Despite the pause and the acknowledgement of the quality of life between March and May, the insatiable hunger for ‘stuff’ and our addiction to busyness and distraction quickly returned so profound has been the consumerist brainwashing. The more that is accumulated, the more is wanted.
We are all being challenged to detach ourselves from the excesses of the material society around us and to adopt more sustainable lifestyles which can both bring us closer to nature and foster our social and spiritual development.
After all Nature is not a resource.
She is our Mother and our heirloom.

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.
