Tip of the Week

I was asked recently if the increasingly unusual and fierce weather patterns are linked to Astrology. The basic answer is yes.

Astrology is about the relationship that exists between the Sun and all the planets in our Solar System and specifically to our own Moon. While there are many moons, ours is especially important, because it very significantly and personally is what connects us to the Sun and planets. This is where our own collective sentience and that of all the creatures that we share the planet with produce that subjective point of reference without which all other discussions would have no meaning. Feigning some notion of objectivity beyond this intimate relationship presents its own absurdity so the paradox must be accepted.

However, it is largely the influence of the Sun that is the main factor linked to the weather.

The other question includes deciphering what is influencing the Sun. While many theories abound, two come to the fore: 1) Something other than the Sun itself is influencing it. Many assert it is another planet while others assert that there is actually a brown dwarf sister Sun to our own which has a 3,600 year cycle and is now fast approaching its return. 2) The Sun’s consciousness and our own, as in the collective of humanity and all life on earth are more intimately linked than might be assumed and, as it changes, so do we. Some would say it is supported by the ideas presented by quantum physics.

The first of these theories come under the domain of physics while the second can be categorized as metaphysics. Basically, from the standpoint of holistic thinking, which weaves the perspectives of metaphysics and quantum physics, everything in existence shares a close, intrinsic relationship. This occurs both physically, as in physics, yet also in consciousness itself, as in metaphysics. So, the weather anomalies are a combination of solar activity and human consciousness, what may be deemed a symbiotic relationship. This presents an example of synchronicity on a large scale.
