There are moments when you find yourself grappling with the task of deciphering the hidden truths concealed within another’s words. This is all the more difficult if you have embarked on a path of personal development and have become conscious of the complex inner weave from which emotions and words are filtered. Is it a veil of protection, unconscious sabotage, fear of intimacy, discomfort with raw honesty or intentional deception?
Astute observer that you have become, you meticulously analyse every utterance for subtle hints and insinuations, scrutinising body language, seeking out the unsaid and attempting to intuit the underlying meaning in the way that their words have been crafted! You know the truth flickers beneath the surface yet, it is guarded with a practiced veneer of nonchalance, making it difficult to ascertain the true intentions.
But caution must be exercised, as the more you try to interpret, the greater the risk of losing your own sense of reality as the line between truth and deception blurs, leaving you perplexed and questioning your own perceptions, feeling and instincts. Yet, amidst the tempest of uncertainty, there lies a strange solace in accepting that you may never know the complete truth. It is a surrender to the humbling realisation that this truth may not be forth coming, for whatever reason.
In embracing this acceptance, you will free yourself from the incessant pursuit of answers, releasing the burden of unfulfilled expectations, letting go those who cannot or will not speak intimately and plainly and learning to cherish the beauty of ambiguity. Perhaps it is in this acceptance that you find the true essence of wisdom—a profound understanding to accept where another is at and their path may no longer be aligned with yours.

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.
