Seeing oneself in the ALL- How Eastern astrology meeting Western astrology is a sexy place to be for deep revelations about the self.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Leah. I'm passionate about inner work and discovering the true self that lies beneath the conditioning, the trauma and the societal programing. I'm all for a society where people are thriving and living their best life because they know they rightfully deserve to. I'm for a world where people are empowered and shine their light and their gifts brightly because it sparks joy to do so.
I achieve my work through combining different modalities such as astrology, numerology, tarot, chakra work and archetypes. My deepest passion is the alchemy that emerges from MIXING modalities together. This is where the real magic happens.
The intersection, the added depth and complexity is what offers unique and powerful insights into who YOU are. That's why, as someone who loves astrology, eventually diving into Eastern astrology was unavoidable.
I studied and observed myself through both the Western lens and the Eastern lens and loved the discoveries I made using both TOGETHER. My perception of myself has since become more wholesome, profound, meaningful and yes, integrated.
Through the eyes of Western astrology, I am a Capricorn Sun, Sagittarius Moon and Leo Rising. Through the eyes of Eastern astrology, I am a Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio Moon and Cancer Rising. In Western eyes, I love depth. I'm all about mystery and penetrating things intensely. I'm also very drawn to Scorpio energy. It feels like home to me because it is home: Scorpio rules my 4th house of family life, roots and ancestors. Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, destruction and transformation is also here which explains my comfort with all those things.
This love for depth and mystery is heightened through Eastern astrology where Scorpio shifts into my 5th House where I have my Venus, my Mercury, and my Moon. Talking, teaching, learning about the occult and all things metaphysical take on a deeper dimension. This shifts Libra into my 4th house along with Pluto explaining why depth, mystery, darkness and destruction are all so beautiful to me. Darkness and shadows fascinate me and I have a keen insight and understanding as to why they are the way that they are. This placement also provides me with a diplomatic ease in communicating and sharing these insights with others.
These are but examples of what I have learned about myself through combining both Western and Eastern astrology together. I feel seen, understood and empowered through this combined lens.
It makes complete sense. It's not one or the other, but both. Moving past the need to choose one approach over another is where we transcend duality and achieve integration.
This is self-mastery.
We entered into Sagittarius season last week and have a Full Moon in Gemini today. Both Gemini and Sagittarius appear dual in nature: Gemini represents the twins, light and darkness, negative and positive. Sagittarius is half man, half horse, representing duality in an integrated fashion.
When we are first learning about ourselves, duality is unvoidable. It helps us to understand who we are and who we are not. We need duality to learn about polarity, dark and light, good and bad. This is Gemini's area of expertise. But we eventually reach a point where both energies, both polarities need to be integrated into a greater whole.
This is where we begin to tap into the energy of the ALL. We are not one thing over the other, we are both at the exact same time. We are not light or darkness, but the coexistence of both. It is the mergence of this two realities into one where we uncover self-mastery, where we awaken our ability to shapeshift into different planes of existence at the very same time. It was never about one thing existing over another but more so about seemingly opposite things being able to exist at the exact same time. When we can understand this paradoxe, we reach inner wholeness. We reach integration. It's not Gemini energy or Sagittarius energy, it is both.
When we are able to understand that there is no need to choose, we release duality and embrace integration and complete fullness. That is the medecine the full moon is currently offering the collective.
