When Life Meets Spirituality

“The biggest takeaway from this Vedic astrology session was that I gained a sudden sense of clarity regarding my family of origin and my career. My relationship with my father has always been one of authority and fear. Both my Zi Wei Dou Shu and Akashic Records readings have shown that I need healing around my family of origin, that I have authority issues, and that my family of origin and career are deeply intertwined. Even after going through many healing modalities, I still didn't know how to resolve my issues — until now. It turns out that what I need to do is not to face it head-on. In the Vedic birth chart, my father is represented by the Sun, and Zhong Shaonian explained what the Sun signifies. It suddenly clicked for me — the Sun is an intense, immovable presence. If I try to charge straight at the Sun, stand under it, or fight against it, I will be burned alive. So what can I do? I can avoid the Sun, find shade, and remember that the Sun will set. And just like that, I untangled the knot in my heart and found a new way to approach my issues. It turns out that "facing it directly" isn't the only way to resolve something — sometimes avoiding it is also a valid solution. As for how to heal when I've been scorched by the Sun — Zhong Shaonian looked at my chart and suggested that whenever I'm feeling emotionally drained or in a low-energy state, I should take a bath or wash my hair, and use the energy of water to carry my worries away. The perspective of Vedic astrology is truly different. For someone like me who has gone through healing many times yet still has unresolved issues, it offered a completely fresh viewpoint. I believe that looking at and analyzing ourselves from multiple angles is a wonderful thing.”
