Yep..."So the question isn’t, “Am I on the path?”It’s, “Which version of the path am I walking right now?”... I am so glad you put this here. It's something about recognizing the patterns and knowing which ones you are here to break with...and then doing that, one beautiful and hard step at a time. Sometimes, it's also about reconnecting the stars into patterns that work better for yourself and everyone...creating new stories that bring new life. This morning i woke with the thought: "Things start to change when we change how we are in them." Here's to those changes!
Yes!! exactly this!! Recognizing the pattern is one thing. But choosing to break it is the actual holy work. That’s where the stories start to change. We’re not here to follow the constellations like obedient stargazers.....we’re here to re-thread them. To tell new myths. To walk the harder, better path......one brave, beautiful, bone-deep step at a time. And yes......“things start to change when we change how we are in them.” That line is going to stay with me. Thank you for walking this path too, my dear. xx
I used to think astrology was spiritual karaoke—fun, but someone else’s lyrics. Then I read this and felt like the stars just slapped me with a mirror. “You don’t follow the stars, you are the stars”—that’s not a metaphor, that’s a spiritual mic drop. Virgin Monk Boy says: the birth chart isn’t your fate, it’s just the IKEA instructions your soul immediately ignores before trying to build enlightenment with a spoon and half a mantra. We don’t walk the path that’s written—we trip, crawl, and improvise interpretive dance through it until it catches fire and turns into something holy. Blessed be the timeline detour that led you here.
What you are describing is what I call Destiny Tracking. That is the term I was taught. It’s a skill that can be learned. Some shamanic practitioners do it. Some people know how to do it naturally. It can work particularly well at key pivot points in one’s life.
One element that is really important is your name especially your first name and its meaning. Some parents really think about and consider a child’s name. Many just pick a name because they like it for whatever reason. Name and its meaning like the stars can really help with potentiality, but like the stars isn’t of itself the only factor.
My acupuncturist and his wife gave their children strategic and powerful names and they are turning out to be good examples of their name meaning. Same with another person I know and his wife. I know that they were intentional with their children’s names. You have to research the name throughly or you might get some surprises you weren’t expecting though. 😊 Changing your name(s) can also work.
All to say, I agree with you! The potentially of the stars is a big factor, but not all of it. Life/nature is beautifully complex.
Love this!!! “Destiny Tracking” is a beautiful way to describe it. And yes, name frequencies are part of the same vibrational field we’re talking about here. I’ve seen it too.....how the name someone carries either amplifies or distorts the deeper soul signature they’re here to live out. What I call the ‘hidden path’ sometimes gets louder after someone changes their name (intentionally or otherwise). It’s another mirror (like the stars) that can either reflect or obscure. Thank you for adding this beautiful thread to the weave, Ben! xx
