It is difficult to clear the mind but it is also necessary.  In order, to view things in a way that is of benefit to you, you must create a clean slate.  Everything that we see, every opinion that we have is based on our own colorations. These colorations are a product of our life and who we are.  There is nothing innately wrong with them but they may be skewed or out of balance.

When you look at a situation, you see what is there.  But, you should also see what is missing.  By doing this you add dimension to your thinking.  You synthesize rather than analyze.  As an astrologer, this is a must.  You have to see the bigger picture.

Often, we think that our perspective is on target but given all the individuals in the world, it is not exactly the way that we think it is.  It is the way you look at it and it is that way for everyone.  How is it possible to see clearly?  I would say that you do it by putting things together and not by taking them apart.  This is not the traditional thinking taught in Universities or institutions of higher learning.  That is because the goals of these institutions are more worldly and short term.

As an astrologer, you take a more timeless approach.  You may not get paid immediately but you are creating good karma for the future.  This is painful to some degree as you are probably going to trail behind others in the worldly sense.  It is a choice that should not be taken lightly.

If you succeed at clearing your mind, you will be a clear and real reflection for all that you come into contact with. It won’t matter if this meeting is for a lifetime, an hour or a second. It will make a difference.

 

Sometimes getting what we want can be an awesome experience of both a good and bad nature.  We always think we know what we need and go about using our intelligence and ingenuity to get it.  But we don’t see the big picture.  As human beings, we are not able to.  Still we can always make the best out of the opportunities that come our way.

“Men are not the creatures of circumstances, but circumstances are the creatures of men” – Benjamin Disraeli

The best thing to do is to follow your head and your heart when it comes to making decisions.  There are many roads to choose from and we can only make our best effort to create a harmonious experience.  All things are good and bad at the same time.  It is all in the way you look at it.

You also must learn to be your own friend.  Don’t beat yourself over the head if things don’t go exactly as planned.  Be kind to yourself and be kind to others.  Be the master of yourself and not of other people.

 

Today a great deal of emphasis is placed on exercise, eating the right foods and meditation.  All of these mind body enhancements are great but it seems that one thing is glaringly missing from the formula and that thing is “right thinking.”   Having the right thinking is something over time that we arrive at. But, there are opportunities to accelerate your wisdom.  One way is to listen to people who have had these experiences.

It is easy to discount experienced people’s advice as not being au courant, but really, I think there is something to be gained by a little indulgence.  Many things are apparent from my years of being in the workplace but a lot of my insights come from my study of astrology.

Astrology is a soft science, based on observation. It is the repetition of something playing itself out over and over with similar results.  At first, the patterns are not so obvious, but, as you continue to observe things it becomes oh so familiar.

Clearly, there are a few things that are definite do’s and don’ts in your personal approach.

The first thing is; Don’t allow your ego to dictate your behavior.  Put your ego in your back pocket or in your handbag.  Somewhere that it isn’t easily accessible.  This prevents you from revealing how thin skinned you are.

The second thing is; Do your best to make the other person comfortable.  Allow yourself to be predictable.  People will feel much more generous toward you if they can guess what you are going to do next.

The third thing is; You don’t have to always be right.  Lots of people are “dead right” but in the end, it doesn’t get them anywhere.

Just these three things can give you a boost in your quest to get what you have worked long and hard for.  Give yourself a chance to succeed by having the right thinking.
