astrology slowness
When I talk about yoga with other people the response is often something along the lines of:
âoh I canât do yoga itâs too slow for meâ
Or âitâs a lot of doing nothingâ etc
âoh I canât do yoga itâs too slow for meâ
Or âitâs a lot of doing nothingâ etc
Of course thereâs the easy rebuttal of âwell thatâs how itâs *supposed* to beâ which I often give.

Iâm realizing that sometimes astrology makes me feel this way too. Am I living up to my charts full potential? Am I trying to force something in my life that just *not there* for me?
Now donât get me wrong, I think identifying strong and weak points in your chart is incredibly valuable. But at what point do we move away from sprinting towards our destiny towards slowly letting our story unfold?
Maybe itâs just me, but the pressure to âdoâ is unbearable at times. I feel like a spool of thread and the faster Iâm pulled the quicker Iâll have nothing left.
When I get around to offering readings (eventually, maybe.....) I want to approach astrology the same way I approach yoga ... just, slowly.
