hello fabulous friends and fans I am
your astrologer for Nadia Shah and
this month the month January you
probably noticed
that guy I actually have a sponsor
message: their
for an MA program and I actually that
isn't an official sponsor
actually is a space that I ended up
donating I wanted to share with you guys
because
that is an MA program that is I am
really taught by directed by on people
who were involved in the MA program
that I Turk so many years ago
and really it is a direct the same
director doctor Angela voss
brilliant a brilliant mind absolutely
brilliant academic
bridging astrology in the academia and
of course Jeffrey Cornelis as well
I've interview Jeffrey R you should see
some links in this you too
a video I actually linking to
different people whether they were
professors have mine or other people who
found a way to bridge
astrology and the academy and talking
about the importance of doing just that
and the reason that I I wanted to donate
this space was
because I wanted to share just how
a much I am committed to bringing
astrology back into
the academy and how much this program
actually
meant to me how grateful and excited I
am
that this program will continue to be
offered and also offered
in Cantabrian the City of Canterbury a
very special place
I survivor noun place if you will
known as this spiritual center other
people come from from
all over the world for different reasons
different things bring them there
but it really is a very magical place
has been assorted explored as a magical
place certainly for a very very long
time for centuries really
so what my own story is an all
just share a little bit of a testimonial
hear about why I love this program so
much and how grateful I am NY
I it really comes down to the fact that
I
remember back in 2006 I
sorta a series of events or have led me
to realize that I was gonna
do astrology full time that this was the
direction I wanted to go in
and are it was shortly after that I
remember was September 1st 2006 that I
launched
I my astrological full-time astrological
career for solos
practicing astrology in love to stroll G
students told you for really really long
time before then since I was a child
really
and so I remember on it was late October
and I went to my very first soda
conference I'll
friends and fans out there regular
friends and fans know that I love the
circumference so much put on by Donna
vento in
an amazing space I were astrologers get
together we learn about astrology we
learn from each other we connect with
each other
a really very healing space to be among
your own if you well
and I remember talking to Donna for the
very first time
and she was standing next to the
networking table and right next to the
table was
are these flyers and I remember seeing
the flyer to
this school are to this program
and just feeling that I knew I had to go
and I didn't understand why I felt that
way at the time like I just knew that I
had this feeling it was a conviction
that this is the direction I was meant
to go in and of course I apply it and I
was accepted I was really excited about
that and
you know I've did an interview with
Christina backer and Christina Becker
actually went to the original Union
Institute and she talked about how
people from all over the world go there
because they know that they need to sort
a
leave their comfort zone and go into
this
other space where they're going to be
able to explore ideas and
and learning and topics and
understandings that their passion about
that they wanna learn more about
and that's what it was for me is I know
that
there's an amazing MA program that is
out at the University wells that
Lampeter 8
it has a lot of amazing astrologers
teaching there and also
I taking classes there that I know
personally as well
in that program is done by distance but
for me I knew that I needed to
immerse myself in this other world and
that's exactly what I did
and I'll tell you it was an M
mazing journey I cannot say it enough
I'm it wasn't what I expected
but it ended up being exactly what I
needed and so much more
I sort of expected going in and having
like all these different ways that
learning about how to read charts and
things like that but what it actually
was even though because I was in a
really supportive atmosphere and we had
lotsa time to do that lots have sorta
I could say downtime to explore charts
and learn about the actual techniques
astrology
what I got was so much more valuable and
what i got really is something that
unfortunately in astrology you really
have to be
further along in terms of being an
intermediate student ban student really
serious about what you do
in order to get the information that I
was so blessed to get and directly from
summer the most amazing people to get it
from on the planet really
and it was I
understanding how astrology is
approached
how astrology has been understood
historically
and philosophically as well and a deeper
reverence and respect for what I am
doing
as an astrologer and to consider the
wider implications but also the
responsibility
as well you know my book at I'm so
grateful are you out there have read my
book have purchased my book have
messaged me and said
at that you a gain something from the
book the book
first of all there's a strong a huge
first chapter that just explores the
philosophical development of astrology
now that is something that I got from
this program on the
other thing though is the title
astrology realize now that is something
actually
that came from an understanding of
jeffrey cornelius wanna my dear
professors
who has written for this seminal work
called the moment astrology
anyone who is serious about astrology
has read this book
I because it really explores what we as
astrologers do
and I'm in in his understanding Jeffrey
he wrote about the difference between a
realize reading in a speculative really
and how to tell the difference in to
realize reading really is
when you know
your you're hitting on truth when you go
beyond just the technique and you enter
another
zone you enter another energy and you
know that in that space
you are speaking something that is going
right to the heart love
the percent whom you are reading or the
charts that you are giving voice to
and that's really what I strive onto
impact on my students some people who
read my book
that that's what we as astrologers
really are going for us to speak the
truth
to translate symbols in a way that
reaches right
to the heart love the percent that's
something I'm really committed to I
always try to do that
really passionate about that as well and
it really is thanks to geoffrey in his
work
but I was able to come to an
understanding start to observe what that
means for me
but also of course as I said there is
all this like technical stuff that
happens in the down time
and then in the actual time there's this
academic exploration that is really
exciting
that's really knew that's just coming
back into Western universities
and I feel so lucky that I was part have
sort of this pioneering group if you
will
personally yes as a student but also as
a student to these pioneering professors
were so committed
to bringing astrology into the Academy
and
overcame all kinds of amazing mountains
and did
incredible work to make it so that I
could actually have this incredible
opportunity
and it really was this defining your
my life it really took me out of my
comfort zone that I was used to
put me in a whole other space in that
space
a really came to understand something
about myself
and my commitment to astrology
solidified in a way that I just never
knew that it could be four
it became a calling it went from being
something that I like to do
something that I was good at doing serve
the people were encouraging me to do
to really being a life long commitment
deep in my soul
a true understanding that what I do is
important
and that what I do matters in the world
of course a lot of people out there
friends and fans you share with me that
what I do is important to you and that
means so much to me
I'm but of course it had to start with a
me first because are also would
for have shared in the first place and
really it is this program that gave me
so much that really changed my life
while I took the program but also
continues to change me in the best
possible
sense and I do believe that will
continue to
for many many years to come as well so
incredible professors out there that
director
is a Angeles Los I love her choose like
this
a incredible mind incredible brain
a she's translated a for Chino
and his astrological writing she's like
the pioneer in person on that front
of course Jeffrey Cornelis as I
mentioned are making a high
know so much about you me in astrology
and so much more
an amazing person to talk about
divination in the history of divination
as well
and of course so many other people out
there who are participating in an apart
a I bringing astrology into the academy
and solidifying
astrology is placed in the Academy once
again
and so I don't know maybe this is an
omen for you maybe this is something
that somebody else is meant to hear
but I just felt really inspired for the
month of January considering that
they're starting a new semester there
I felt inspired to I'm share
what they do because it really is an
exciting MA and
nobody paid before there's nobody
suggested I do this but I
wanted to just give a little bit back to
considering just how much I got in
return i truly am so grateful to
all the people out there and also
anybody out there who is
arm approaching astrology with that
academic mind
