“The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed”
George Orwell, 1984
“So this is how liberty dies – to a thunderous applause”
Revenge of the Sith
I smell the fear that reigns inside as those conditioned to hate and then to blame by those who speak truth in plain sight, yet remain hidden due to doubletalk and distraction. It is easy to see how it has come to this through countless years of inane mental training, regurgitating facts without questioning, knowing more about celebrity than your neighbour, looking outwards and not inwards. It is no wonder that we find ourselves where we are. Individuals, however, can learn and individuals can make a difference, even if society continues to regress despite the illusion of technological comfort.
Truth is the handmaiden of love and honest conversation is the pathway to truth. Never forget that your voice cannot be trampled and in a true democracy open dialogue freely takes place without judgement, condemnation or childish name calling. Do not be afraid to speak up and out when called upon as the coming week unfold. Remember though that words spoken firmly from a place of love are heard more than words carried loudly though the red mist.

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.
