Until recently, my only experience with astrology was reading my horoscope in the Sunday paper as a child. Be nice to your boss this week; stay out of trouble this week; the love of your life will walk through the door this week were some of the generic posts listed that never seemed to come true. A few years ago, one of my friends went to "a really great astrologer that I needed to see.” As I listened to my friend’s tale of her astrologer’s predictions, she claimed that the letter J was very important to her. She would not only meet a man with a name that started with the letter J, she would marry him very soon, as well. Years later, my friend is now happily married to a guy named Bob...Not a J in sight. I have grown up with limited exposure to astrology and so I naturally was a skeptic-at-large. I thought that it was simply a mystic non-reality held over from the ancient past and nothing but hooey; fun to read with friends over coffee, but hooey nonetheless.
Several months ago I met someone who claimed to be an astrologer and numerologist. “Ok, tell me something about me,” I queried. He asked my birth date and figured out that I was a number 2 or high priestess in the numerology deck. He said that that symbolized someone who was highly emotional, in tune with intuitive senses, and that I probably had to learn accepting this side of myself as my life lesson. I almost started to cry, because this exactly what I was working on at the moment. I had lived my life hiding my true abilities and my emotional side trying to be “normal” and fit in with everyone else. I was now discovering that I did indeed have a strong emotional side to me and was allowing my empathic, psychic and intuitive abilities to flourish; opening the door to my True Self and exploring my life’s adventure.
He went on to explain to me that intuition is a very yin (feminine) and internal experience where one feels something about a situation or person; whereas psychic ability is a very yang (masculine) and external experience where one perceives the future. I definitely have both, but in my case the yin intuition is stronger than the yang psychic ability.
After leaving this man I was surprised and impressed that he knew so much about me in 5 minutes, but at the time I thought perhaps it was just a good guess and didn’t think too much about it for many months. I still wasn't ready to accept that this ancient art could be a possibility. My ego (thus my fear) were still getting in the way.
Time passed and a few weeks ago, while walking home, a little voice inside my head said to go to the shop, Crystal Way, a metaphysical store in San Francisco that sells crystals, metaphysical books and CD’s, jewelry and offers various services such as reiki, massage and a host of professional intuitives. The voice in my head was loud, so I decided to abide by it.
While there, I found the book and an aquamarine crystal I had been looking for so I knew the voice in my head was right (as always) in directing me here that evening.
I paid for my items, but I had an overwhelming sense that I wasn’t done yet. I asked the associate who was helping me if there was an astrologer or psychic or someone of that nature working that night and if so were they available right then at that moment. The answer was naturally YES! There was an astrologer and she was available. While a few years ago, I would have never asked to see an astrologer, I knew The Universe was steering me in this path and that this was the right thing for me to do.
She introduced herself to me as Linda and asked for my name, my birth date, time of birth and city I was born in. I answered her questions and kept the best poker face I could muster looking directly into her eyes.
She made her calculations on her laptop computer and turned the screen around for me to see after she was finished. I looked at this strange astral map and thought it looked interesting, but I had no way of deciphering its meaning. She asked me if I would like to ask her questions or would I prefer she just told me what she saw in my future. I asked for the latter, keeping my poker face in tact.
She said that I have a very intuitive, high vibrational, magical, shamanic personality which is growing stronger and stronger. I have done the magical part of the work for my manifestations, but now I need to do the earthly work. She gave the analogy of what is happening to me like the fictional character, The Hulk. The Hulk started out as a normal man who would shift into a bigger person (The Hulk) and would literally come out of his skin in the process. She emphasized how in my case, my vibrational level is coming out of my skin. As she was saying this I had to do everything I could to not drop my jaw because all of this was exactly correct. I simply didn’t know how to put it into words until that moment. I was and am shifting into a different person, acknowledging my Spiritual side as my True Self. I felt as though my DNA was being re-written and my body was trying to catch up. This was clearly not generic information that could have been said about anyone, but something for me alone.
She told me that in a year’s time I would be practicing shamanism, writing, traveling, healing and teaching…All of them are intertwined with one another for me. After she said this my poker face dropped momentarily as I explained that I was shocked that she mentioned all 5 of these things as I just wrote all of those items down in my journal a couple of days earlier. When I wrote these items in my journal I was unclear what direction I would take, but all of these items are what interested me. I came to the conclusion in that moment that my life was now about serving God/The Universe and serving others and I was now allowing the mystery of my life to unfold as it will. I am already a reiki healer and am interested learning other forms of healing, including shamanism. In fact, the book I bought that night was my second regarding shamanism. Linda was in the back when I made my purchase and I put it in my backpack before she came out to greet me. She had no way of knowing what was in my bag. I am also in the process of writing a book and have started this metaphysical blog you are reading. I have always been a traveler in my heart and teaching has interested me throughout my life. To put it mildly, I was blown away that she was able to read this from the stars.
We spent a half an hour together and she continued relaying her list of one thing after another of things I had either been working on or thinking about and I knew that everything she said was absolutely true. They were all very specific to me and I was in awe by her obvious gift.
I couldn’t stop thinking about this reading and a few days later, I met a friend over lunch and told her about my experience with Linda. My friend reminded me that we are all the same energy; everything on the planet, the stars, the moon. So, why couldn't the elements of the Universe help to forecast our futures?
This simple comment made my brain spin with the idea that quantum physicists have proved that energetically we are all the same stuff; the earth, a rock, a dog, a colander, a burrito, the moon, everything. I instantly thought of the movie Phenomenon and a scene where John Travolta picks up a pencil showing it to Brent Spiner and said something like, “We are all made up of the same stuff.”
Spiner dubiously asks, “Lead?”
Travolta answers, “Energy, Bob. Energy.” This always amuses me when I see it and I chuckled at the memory of it.
At the sub-atomic level we ARE all part of the same material. Energy, prana, chi, ki, Universal Life Force, call it whatever you like, but we are all the same substance at the core, so why indeed can’t the stars predict our futures?
While I still believe that some horoscopes, such as those that are listed in the daily newspaper are for entertainment purposes, I have come to the conclusion, that there are those astrologers who are genuine and truly want to be of service helping others find their path. Linda Amburgey is one of those gifted souls who wishes to serve.
