About the Publisher
Hello, my name is Carolyne, and I am your translator, one who, more than anything, wishes you to learn and use astrology, the most beautiful language on Earth (French, Italian and Spanish are perhaps a close joint second). In this journal I am offering you star knowledge, along with well-being tips that work and power tools that never lose their power, and I am giving you room for your own reflections, which will give your soul the chance to be heard and you the space to write down what it is saying. I am so grateful for the karma that has brought me here. All the magic, turbulence and transitions in my own life have brought me to this very moment, and in this moment you and I are connecting. All the twists and turns on your own journey have led you here. Think for a moment about exactly how or why you discovered this journal and the series of events in your own life that directed you to it. That is karma, and it’s magical – but more on that throughout, as I am very big on karma. My journey so far has enabled me to be in the fortunate position to share not only the wisdom of the stars and my spiritual teachers with you, but also effective life coaching designed to enhance your everyday life and deepen your connectivity and receptivity overall. I am beyond thrilled to be alive and experiencing first-hand the spiritual revolution that has roused enough of a readership to warrant this journal! For so many years I, like many others, was advised to tone down my depth and wear a mask in order to survive. How times have delightfully changed. We are only on this wonderful planet for a relatively short time, so make yours count. No matter who you are or what you do, be happy! I am happy to enable everyone to skip over the complexities and start practising the art of Dynamic Astrology™. Every word I write and tip I offer is laced with meaning and holds fast to the echoes of the ageless words and sage teachings of my great, mostly departed teachers. That’s why this journal is dedicated to my teachers and to you, the reader. It is a magical world, so live your very best life and enjoy every single day and, in a world where you can choose to be anything, choose to be you. Enjoy! Love from your friend This is not just astrology, this is Dynamic Astrology™, a contemporary self-improvement method based on the ancient language of the stars. Dynamic Astrology™ is, without doubt, the result of an alchemical process. The motivation behind it, as well as the result, is pure gold. You may ask why I am so passionate about the language of the stars. Quite frankly, it changed the game of life for me – and that’s why I want to share it with as many people as possible. A deep love and innate understanding of astrology, combined with the passion to learn and the patience to reflect, changed the way I saw myself and transformed how I related to the people in my life and the everyday situations I faced; prior to this, I struggled. With an understanding of your own birth-chart (or someone else’s), you can begin to cross-reference it with the astrology of the day and understand how the stars are impacting the way you feel, think and act. This can help you in many ways, for example, to stop you taking things personally and ultimately allowing more space for wisdom and compassion – and I absolutely love that. My late, great Buddhist master once told me, ‘there is nothing greater than compassion.’ This is such a simple lesson, there is nothing greater than compassion. Why? The energy of the universe acts as a magnet and brings us more of the same; so, if we are less judgemental of ourselves and others and kinder in all aspects of our life, then this is what we draw back. You can help make it happen. Astrology is wonderfully empowering, and when you harness it, it can feel as though you can press a ‘pause’ button before responding to a situation and give yourself more space to check in with your higher mind.
