41. The signs of the times – Pam Gregory

It can be used as one of many tools to understand life, and it can be used as one of many models for explaining the universe. Sounds like something everyone would embrace. But to most people, astrology is still controversial. The fall from grace began when Newton introduced his mechanistic world view. But we have come far since then. What it is really about is to interpret energies that modern science basically tells us we are all connected to on the quantum level. ”The whole thing is really about frequency”, says Pam Gregory, astrologer. ”It’s about archetypes, symbolism and frequencies that correspond to different parts of our consciousness. I’m not a psychic. I’m a translator.” The birth chart can be described as an imprint, which doesn’t mean our fates are chiseled in stone. We have free will. The imprint is a blueprint. We must do the actual construction work ourselves. Simplistic descriptions about sun signs and star constellations and planets affecting us directly are skewed or sometimes incorrect and gives astrology bad reputation. Most skeptics don’t want to dive deeper into the subject, which is kind of a catch-22 situation. Perhaps the time is ripe to take off our blinders and open the door to understanding the universal energies that affect us. After all, we’re all bathing in the quantum soup. Pam Gregory discovered astrology at the age of 21, when she had her birth chart read thoroughly for the first time. She was blown away by how spot-on it was. ”It was a whole dimension of meaning that i had been completely unaware of.” She had a so-called ordinary job for 35 years before it became possible for her to go all-in and work as a professional astrologer. Pam’s first book, with the ingenious title ”You don’t really believe in astrology, do you?”, unveils the seeming mysteriousness of astrology with beautiful clarity and scientific rigor. She explains how it goes perfectly well with the theories about a holographic universe, a unified energy field and, of course, quantum physics and its non-local causality. Few have missed that we live in turbulent times, and this is astonishingly well reflected in astrology. There were scores of predictions about a wild 2020, for instance, and this year starts off much in the same intense way, according to the properties symbolized by certain planetary aspects. ”Hold on to your hat”, is Pam’s advice.
