Low lying Fixed Water evening star Venus slows ahead of her Retrogradation
2 and 21 days to go…
Just ahead lies the 40 day retreat, 40 days in which you can work through any emotional barricades that have been erected to protect your heart from experiencing true jOy and true uniOn. 40 days of reflection; 19 days of heart-searching; 19 days of heart-healing/ forgiveness/ releasing; 2 days of invocation; 2 days of sOul-offering; 2 days of deep, humbling dedication; 19 days to hold a space and coax into being those scripts and patterns that you have planted; 19 days to establish this new heart-centred script and to openly speak forth from your heart, jOy.
As the retreat draws ever close, can you answer ‘what does jOy truly means to you?’ Have you toughened your heart from the vulnerability of rejection or abandonment? Have you replaced jOy with the search for material satisfaction, yet still feel that something is missing? Have you allowed the world to tell you how you should live and what you should be, shelving your jOy as you sup from Ambrosia’s ever so sweet nectar? Have you lost that belief in yourself and have forgotten what it is to live an enriched life filled with heart-felt responsibilities, as opposed to duties and obligations? Time draws ever closer to truly let go of those protective heart-mechanisms that have kept you at bay. Time draws ever closer to let go those people and past circumstances that have ailed your heart. Time draws ever closer to the start of a new heart cycle… So can you answer, what does jOy truly meant to you?

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.
