An interesting take
I tend to think of the natal chart as more of a blueprint of your psyche, but...hey, that works.
- The Akashic Record seems to be the common information referenced by a variety of entities - your Natal Chart corresponds to your Sacred Contract - a document that your soul created prior to incarnation to serve as the program of study and experience you intend to be your Life’s Purpose or your Mission on Earth. It was drafted in counsel with the entities you chose to assist you in your spiritual mission. It serves as a Map, a Mission Statement, and a Reference Point. It can be accessed by your Guides on your behalf, regardless of whether you have any memory or conscious knowledge of it - kind of like a living will that your loved ones and legal representatives can use as a touchstone for making important decisions on your behalf, as you intended, even if you are unable to speak or think for yourself.
- Your Astrological Natal Chart is a kind of third-dimensional facsimile of your Sacred Contract - the best reproduction or translation of your unique Akashic Record that we can hope to get our hands on, from This Side…
And here's why I'm quoting him here:
When a Questioner approaches me with a specific issue, a pattern of challenges, or an area he wants to focus on, the vocabulary of Astrology provides an initial set of directions and landmarks that will take me to the general vicinity of what’s happening:
- Conflicts, disputes, anger management - I check to see where Mars is hanging out.
- Romantic relationships - I look at your Venus and your Moon.
- Challenges that keep presenting themselves - I look at your Saturn.
- Ideal Occupations - I know that your Ascendant is going to play a profound role in predetermining how best to package who you are and what you’re all about and communicating that to other people in a way that uses your social strengths…
I actually spend a lot of time studying your Saturn and the aspects it creates with everything else in your Chart - Saturn is central to your Life’s Purpose, the Big Major Challenge you came here to wrestle with, that bump in your road that keeps showing up and getting harder and harder each time to ignore…
Yeah, that's Saturn for ya. (No wonder I'm fucked!)
