A Reflection of Your Soul’s Intention

Astrology as I experience it provides a blueprint of your soul’s intention for this lifetime. With this in mind, I’ve been starting to look at how birth chart information can open the door to greater acceptance, understanding, and even unconditional love in instances where I might otherwise feel reactive or judgemental in the face of uncomfortable differences.

While the sun-sign horoscopes I grew up looking at in newspapers provide little to no insight, I’ve found that some forms of in-depth chart analysis provide a deeply resonant gestalt of one’s personality experience. I’ve been giving readings to individuals and couples that cover the basic elements of their birth chart since 2003. At this time I’m focusing on birth chart readings as a support tool for parent/child/whole family relationships. It’s not clear to me whether astrology offerings are best done as an independent service within the “power with our children parenting” (PWOCP) realm or whether astrology is just another tool in the parenting support tool chest available to PWOCP consulting clients. I will be open to the mystery of how best to be of service . . .

Right now I’m available to give children’s birth chart interpretations for parents or children who are drawn to it. These readings make a great gift for parents of newborns/young children- I know since the reading we were gifted for our oldest son Elijah is what sparked my interest in going deeper into astrology! :-0

Additionally I can do a more interactive reading experience that includes as many children and parents/guardians as desired. The simplest form of this would be working with the charts for one parent and one child. And we can arrange a custom experience to accommodate whatever needs and complexities you might have.

The purpose of the parent/child interactive reading is to help the participants transform uncomfortable differences and gain new insights into how to work with, support, and/or honor each others unique path. For instance, if you’re a mom with a strong Cancerian influence you might naturally prefer to nurture and be emotionally connected with your children. You might feel baffled and reactive by a daughter that has a strong Aries influence for example. This daughter would likely be independent, free spirited, a tomboy, and prefer physical adventure to sitting and connecting when she could be in action. By consciously connecting with the distinctions of these two disparate archetypes, a mother can accept and even honor her daughter’s natural inclinations without being reactive to or trying to subvert them. And depending on what else was happening in each birth chart some new mutually fulfilling points of connection might be identified.

Do you have one or more family members you regularly feel upset with or disappointed by? In what ways?

I Feel. A personal truth worth expressing!

As a man who has a steady flow of feelings non-stop, I’m committed to writing about and encouraging parents to embrace their own feelings as well as encourage their children to do the same.

Sounds like commonsense . . .  we all are feeling all the time, right?  Yet how often do we deny what we’re actually feeling, or close ourselves to being present to and honoring someone else’s feelings?

Mad? Sad? Glad? Afraid?  At the most fundamental feeling level all these general categories apply to all of us in our daily experience, yet I have had to make it a personal challenge to consciously embrace this full spectrum of emotional experience!

Over the last eight or so years I’ve been committed to taking the time to not just feel my feelings on an unconscious level; In 2004 I acknowledged to myself that I wasn’t being real in sharing my feelings.  In fact, I didn’t even have a vocabulary I could draw upon to describe the richness of what I was feeling moment to moment! It took me a couple of years just to integrate a broader set of feeling words into my daily vocabulary and even then I often had to intentionally slow down consciously take time to identify and describe exactly what was happening in my feeling world. 

Right now, for instance, I’m feeling concerned about the sounds coming from the next room (one of my sons has cried out in his sleep), I’m feeling scared that I won’t have the energy to finish this post (it’s late and I’m prone to nodding off), I’m feeling glad that I’ve gone ahead and started writing (it’s been much longer getting my blog under way than I thought it would be), I’m feeling grateful that I’m supported with the continuing experience of being a now single father of Elijah, Aidan, and Ethan as we share sometimes deeply and sometimes less so this family journey!

That being said I feel ready to rest in the satisfaction of taking the next step in my personal stand for men being real with their emotions!!!
