COMMUNITY-MINDED SOLUTIONS

COMMUNITY-MINDED SOLUTIONS

As part and extension of our #DignityBabes conversations, one of my final reflections are about the gifts community collaboration can bring to your astrology studies and practice. This is also in honour of Mercury's return to its sign of exile and fall, Pisces. Now more than ever, we're thinking more about our oneness and our humanity. Especially in light of the current global COVID-19 pandemic. How I'm thinking about astrology now compared to 4 weeks ago when we started this campaign, has tremendously grown. Thanks in part to my co-conspirators for being amazing critical-thought leaders:

@astrologywithcello, @ddamascenaa, @etshipley, @justjogleason, @kelseyrosetort.

Thank you for helping me think outside the box. For stretching my imagination. For helping me centre humanity & divinity in my thought processes. I am in awe and complete adoration of all of you. To the rest of our community who participated and joined, however big or small, public or private, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Conversations are always the right place to start.

STRUCTURE & SURRENDER

STRUCTURE & SURRENDER

A dear diary kind of share for #DignityBabes. This week we talked about the overwhelming and exciting journey of learning astrology. And how this informs what we put out in public & how we interact with creators.

Truth be told, I struggled to formulate my thoughts during this soupy Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. What had me engaging in a rebuttal and defence re Essential Dignities was my knee-jerk reaction to public figures and their clout. It feels vulnerable to say that I am invested in creating a certain level of professionalism and collegial relationship within the astrological community (btw Professionalism is one of our topics next week!).

ON WITNESSING

ON WITNESSING

This week's #DignityBabes second scheduled conversation turns our gaze towards the philosophical questions that inevitably come from studying and practicing Astrology. For this piece, I humbly point my writing intention towards my peers - Astrologers who have chosen the path of providing the service of astrological consultation. Those who have the honour and responsibility to engage with clients. Those who discuss people's birth charts and their year ahead. Those who answer questions and elect auspicious time. And perhaps even those who construct magical material. Those who hold someone's trust to articulate their life - what has been and what is to come.

HOSPITALITY & CONVERSATIONS

HOSPITALITY & CONVERSATIONS

If you're just tuning in, please check out #DignityBabes to follow along with our schedule of conversations (see image below). My colleagues will be posting smart af delineations on wtf Essential Dignity really is? What I wish to contribute to the collective voice is my favourite way of demonstrating the conversations that take place in a chart through the Rulership scheme of Essential Dignity.

DIGNITY IS BABELY

DIGNITY IS BABELY

Today we begin to take on an honourable task of inviting astrologers and students of this divine practise to embark on a public conversation with each other. Prompted by the desire to illuminate, elaborate and interrogate what we know of the different branches of Astrology - but in particular the intelligent and esoteric branch of Ancient Traditional Astrology.

Our main objectives are:

  1. to invite others into an educational journey

  2. to illustrate the divine beauty of the ESSENTIAL DIGNITIES

  3. to ponder the complexity of the PHILOSOPHICAL INFRASTRUCTURE of Astrology

  4. to discuss the modern-age conundrum of creating & consuming content that is RESPONSIBLE VS POPULAR (aka PROFITABLE)

  5. to insist on a standard of PROFESSIONALISM among other practicing astrologers

  6. and lastly, to encourage a synergistic COMMUNITY with each other.
