Welcome to my blog. Divination, I think, is the real nature of our craft. We are vehicles for the intuition, for the sky spirits, for the gods. The tradition itself, valuable as it is, is a launch pad, an orientation, an egregore: it has its own power that has built through the millennia. But eventually we need to move from Capricorn – mastery of what has come before – to Aquarius, where we earn the right to reinvent the tradition, to create the future. Without this constant reinvention, a tradition dies. It often requires courage, and it usually requires years of getting to know the gods – and our demons. Astrology is a different kind of knowledge to science: it is knowledge of consciousness, essentially, rather than knowledge of things. Our craft makes no sense from the point of view of the specialised remit of science. We use all 4 Elements – Fire, Earth, Air and Water – to gain knowledge. Science, by contrast, emphasises just Earth (data) and Air (theory). We are therefore part of a broader tradition of gnosis, within which science finds its place. Nor do we need to feel over-beholden to the astrological tradition itself: it needs to be worn lightly, so that the gods have room to speak. If you'd like a reading, email me at BWGoddard1@aol.co.uk

that was very interesting- thanks for posting it.
Thanks for posting that. My feeling is that we hate being wrong because we identify too much with our opinions, to the extent that they 'become' us, and vice-versa. The above might seem almost heretical in our hyper-rational world, but the more you think about it, the more you realise the truth of it. Being a Sagittarius rising and with Mars in Gemini, I was pleased when someone suggested that I should identify with my opinions a little less. I learnt to do so (one of the few advantages of ageing is that it's easier to give less of a shit about relatively unimportant matters) and the result has been a marvellous release.
