My Bisexuality and Polyamory Astrologized
I gave it all away in the title. I'm bisexual and polyamorous.But this article isn't just a coming-out announcement. I'm going to dive deep into my natal chart to show the astrological foundations of my unconventional lifestyle. My chart also shows why it's taken me so long to go public.I'll also look at my current astrological influences - transits, secondary progressions, solar arcs and solar return - to see why I chose to reveal myself now. (The decision came first, the astrological analysis second.) And I've tried to write this so that even those with little or no astrology knowledge can understand it ... most of it, anyway!Why Come out Now? (Non-Astrological Reasons)Personal ReasonsAs I contemplated coming out in the weeks leading up to this post, several supportive omens came my way. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love, publicly announced that she's in love with another woman on September 7. Celebrate Bisexuality Day, which I hadn't even known about, showed up in my Facebook feed on September 23. On September 29 The New York Times reported that "Brian Anderson, Skateboarding Star, Comes Out as Gay. (Mr. Anderson, 40, becomes the first openly gay professional in a sport once considered tinged with homophobia.)" And on September 30 a DC Comics writer confirmed that Wonder Woman, who will have her own major motion picture in 2017, is bisexual.This was all very encouraging. But the thing that set me firmly on this course, strangely enough, was a critical insight about persistent congestion in my chest. I received this insight during an ayahuasca ceremony.Ayahuasca, a hyperintelligent, multidimensional plant spirit teacher and healer, has been my most trusted advisor and main transformational catalyst for over 10 years. I asked at the beginning of a mid-September ceremony for healing of my chest congestion, which had been dragging on for weeks. During the ceremony, ayahuasca told me that the congestion would clear once I "got something off my chest." It was clear that this meant going public about my bisexuality and polyamory.Further reflection helped me clarify how my coming out might benefit others....Read the rest! |

Shadow Work Resources -- U.S. & International
Shadow work involves healing childhood wounds, past life karma and other energy restrictions. Shadow work can rapidly accelerate your personal and spiritual evolution. This post ends with links to shadow work resources, all available in the United States and many available internationally.
This post is excerpted and slightly edited from my Sept. 1, 2016 Solar Eclipse interpretation. If you'd like to learn a bit about my shadow work journey, you're welcome to read it all. If you just want the shadow work links, click here. I lived in fear of the shadow work I needed to do for my self-healing for most of my life. With my move from Oklahoma to Asheville, North Carolina in 2001 to live my dream at the age of 41, I gradually started to face the darkness that was blocking my inner light....Read the rest! |

More 5 Star Reviews!
Divine session My Shamanic Healing session with Benjamin was divine. I felt peacefulness thereafter and serenity and felt enveloped with love. I felt energies being released during the process. Benjamin is very professional and very informative with the whole process. I am feeling blessed to have found you Benjamin and i will definitely return and keep in touch! Love and light vc - V.C., Sep 25, 2016
Eye opening intro to the soul I absolutely loved this experience. I'd never had my chart read before and Benjamin was wonderful. He covered topics I didn't know would be in a chart, such as what qualities I'm attracted to in men. Benjamin hit it exactly! This experience was like being reintroduced to a beloved friend after years apart. The lucky thing is, the friend was myself! I'm taking on a new life direction and according to my chart, it's the perfect time and the right direction. Great experience! I'll do this again! - Kellie K, Sep 26, 2016
I'm Terribly Picky
I've been studying astrology for 20 years. Read many books, been a part of several astrology groups in my area. I've heard many astrologers in person & enjoyed their stuff. Had a few not so great readings. They knew astrology, but usually couldn't give any worthwhile advice. An astrologer needs some experience counseling & some degree of life experience. Benjamin was good. When someone can offer worthwhile advice & teach me something I didn't know, after all I've learned, I'm impressed. Nice job! - William Voss, Sep 28, 2016
