Why does it feel fresh and new, yet at the same time familiar?
Visceral flashes of past conversations, action, inactions and dramas spiral through you during quiet moments of reflection, momentarily confusing you as you are transported back in time into those intense emotional situations. Yet as those experiences are re-lived, you can feel something is different as your rejuvenated heart jumps back through time, just at the climax of the emotionally charged interaction, to guide you onto an alternative path, so that your heart is not bound to the scripts that you have so fervently healed through October.
Those experiences have etched out deep groves in your heart and only through time will they become colonised with new flora. What is different is your heart-perspective, but that too takes time to establish confidence in a new way of relating. What is emerging is but phantasms of your emotional past, no matter how tangible or intense they may still feel. But you are no longer your past, unless you choose to remain there. You maybe walking over familiar ground over the next couple of weeks but remember that your heart is not beating to the same scripts as you were in early September. You have the strength to re-live what you have experienced, but can interject a more affirmed, constructive and lOving ending, as your heart needs to re-play what has passed so that it can truly learn how to respond in the future when you find yourself back with those who have not moved on.

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.
