The 13th January as Mutable Fire Venus octiles Cardinal Earth Pluto
Ah, the complex weave that you spin along the path of the
Heart. Love battles with lOve; friendship battles between unconditional
acceptance and conditional expectation; lovers merge, their bodies becoming
one, but yet remain alone and lonely, distracted by their own unloveableness,
unable to truly feel the love of another; families care for each other, yet
hurt each other deeply; trusted confidants listen intently yet get caught in
their own process, assumptions and projections; your heart aspiring to
surrender yet is brought down by longing and yearning. Yet, aspire you must;
process you will; awareness you seek, as you lift your heart up and seek to
metamorphose from those darkened inner boreholes down which you could fall into
a blackened abyss. Compassion is the only option to the true intimacy you seek,
as it creates a bridge between you and ‘other’, helping you step outside your
own perspective and egoic desires, enabling you to be attentive yet vulnerable,
strong yet humble, as love transmutes to lOve.

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.
