Life with a Guidemap

Success in any area of life depends on self-confidence. Belief in our own abilities; and, most importantly, belief in our capacity to influence the lives of others for the better—this is the vital key.

Spiritual values are not always supported in Western culture. Yet, these are the values that give meaning to our lives. The Tibetans refer to our self-doubt, and lack of confidence in our own purpose and spiritual nature, as a 'mental disease'! And indeed, the depression that follows after our setbacks, or confrontations with fear-barriers, is certainly a mental dis-ease. To follow a unique path in life, which is our birth-right, may at times require some outside assistance, and from a variety of sources.

A personal astrologer can become a mentor, offering a practical ongoing guide through the maze of the unconscious levels of mind, so that your fullest potential—Professionally, Personally (within all relationships), and Spiritually—may be realised.

A mentor is not someone who takes over your life and disempowers you as a 'master'. A mentor is simply someone who has a degree of expertise in a certain area of life which can be useful to you, personally. Learning from others' mistakes and successes is the intelligent way to live and succeed, especially when the mentor is enthusiastic about guiding you so that you become your own master.

For two-and-a-half decades I have witnessed these transformations through my own work in assisting those who's aim is higher than material status and 'winning' over a competitor (in life or business); and who would prefer to offer a legacy of a life lived with PURPOSE, VALUE and COMPASSION for the betterment of others, regardless of how few or how many.

It is of great advantage to appreciate (in a positive manner) that this path will necessarily generate many obstacles along the way. These obstacles mature us spiritually and develop our capacity for Greatness.

Through clinical research of the past 24 years, my observations have revealed that the most insidious of obstacles arises from our own self-sabotaging thought-forms from the deepest unconscious mind. These can be elaborated astrologically through two Transneptunian Points (rarely acknowledged in astrological circles!) in the birth chart, and with the qualifying addition of many relevant asteroids.

This effect has nothing to do with intelligence, apart from the observed fact that the more intelligent we are, the more intelligent is the sabotage! This is not dissimilar to playing chess with oneself! And we need to be at least three steps ahead in the game at all times to avoid an all-defeating check-mate.

This type of consistent sabotage can affect the way we layout and compose advertisements, or neglect to brand ourselves adequately; or when we take on business partners when our personal challenge is to work alone; or when we habitually work alone when our challenge is to take on partners or work in a team... Personal self-sabotage can also have devastating effects on our close relationships, leaving us bewildered as to what went wrong!

Mindfulness is the developmental key to avoiding these errors, once we have recognised the patterns. Though, these stubborn thought-forms in the psyche may be so entrenched, after lifetimes of reaffirming what are actually false concepts, that we can easily become blinded to our own sabotaging efforts as they are occurring.

The great value of Astrology is that an experienced guide along the way, carrying the Guidemap

of your own Astrological Birth-Chart, can be astoundingly useful at these times.
