Meditation and Astrology: Exploring the Link between Inner and Outer Worlds.

Meditation and astrology are two ancient practices that have been used for centuries to help people connect with the inner and outer worlds. While these practices may seem distinct, they are actually deeply interconnected, and can be used in tandem to help individuals cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. 

Astrology is the study of the positions and movements of celestial bodies within our known solar system, and how they related to human affairs and personality traits. According to astrology, each individual has a unique birth chart that is determined by the positions of planets and stars at the time of their birth. This chart can be used to gain insights into an individual’s personality traits, strengths, weaknesses and life path. 

Meditation, on the other hand, is a practice of quieting the mind and turning inwards, in order to access deeper levels of awareness and consciousness. Through meditation, individuals can cultivate a sense of inner peace, clarity and connection to the divine. 

Despite their apparent differences, meditation and astrology share a common goal: to help individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe. By using the two practices together, individuals can gain a more holistic understanding of themselves and their unique path in life. 

One way that meditation and astrology can be combined is through the use of meditation techniques that are tailored to an individual’s astrological chart. For examples those with a strong presence of the planet Neptune in their birth chart may benefits from meditation techniques that focus on connecting with the divine of exploring the mystical realms of consciousness. 

Similarly, individuals with a strong presence of the planet Saturn in their birth chart may benefit from meditation techniques that focus on discipline, structure and grounding. By using meditation techniques that are aligned with your astrological chart, you can tap into your own unique strengths and challenges, and work to cultivate a greater sense of balance and harmony within yourself. 

Another way that meditation and astrology can be used together is through the practice of meditation during key astrological events, such as planetary alignments or eclipses. During these times, the energy of the universe is believed to be particularly potent, and meditation can be used to help individuals connect with this energy to gain deeper insights into their own path in life, and even connect closer to others. 

For example, full moons are believed to be a powerful time for spiritual growth and transformation, as the heightened energy of the moon can help to amplify our intentions and desires. One way to take advantage of this energy is by practicing a walking meditation in nature under a full moon. Walk slowly and mindfully while focusing on the sensations of the body and sounds of the environment. If you don’t feel called to this type of moving meditation practice, instead try sitting in a dark room filled with candles, either alone or in a group! You can choose to include meditation tools, crystals or stones that align with the energy the moon such as moonstone or selenite. 

Whatever your approach, the key is to cultivate a sense of openness and receptivity to the powerful energy of the planets and stars, allowing it to guide your intentions and desires towards greater growth, transformation and spiritual awakening.
