On the 14th August as Fixed Fire Venus beams her light through the Sun
Paradox abounds within this strange alchemical place. To the outside world it would appear that she has not changed. She still looks the same, if not a little older, preferring to savour the fellowship of her friends as she sits sipping wine late into the evening as opposed to dance until dawn every night. Yet, within her, she feels weary, as if she has lived several lifetimes within the past several weeks. Having descended into the darkness of her inner world, insight has arisen at such speed that her understanding of her world has altered several million times within each day! Experience has enabled her to hide the brooding undercurrent that is transforming the air that she breathes. Yet she has felt frustrated at the lack of visible change in the world surrounding her.
But something has shifted. She knows it. She can sense it. Closing her eyes she finds a massive orb of light rise majestically and powerfully in the East. In a flash that orb now reigns high above her before weakening and descending in the West. And it dawns on her – she cannot live as she has done. What was good for her in the morning of her life will no longer work in the evening. Opening her eyes, she finds that she is standing between two worlds, bathed in the vibrancy of the midday light. To her left is her path of youthful experimentation, to her right, maturity and wisdom. Breathing in, she feels the meeting of these two worlds transform like the contact of two chemicals. Teeming with a burgeoning feeling of hope a renewed vitality courses through her veins. Her research has been done; it is time for a new stage of her life to begin.

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.
