I am afraid that it will adversely effect my nonprofit organization. A lot of people are very critical of Astrology, but they haven't studied it. They don't know about the geometrical emphasis in Astrology that include the use of aspects,aspect patterns,and midpoints. They won't be able to look at how the symbols are in the chart,and interpret their specific arrangements in the chart.

I could say that my being an Astrologer and New Ager could be a manifestation of my neurodivergent conditions in regards to being unconventional,nonconformist, thinking outside the box,and looking at things from different perspectives,and considering other possibilities.

It could even be a thing connected to DRD4 7R gene which Thom Hartmann calls The Edison Gene
Half of ADHD cases are connected to the DRD4 7R Gene which is novelty seeking gene http://www.healthcare.uci.edu/news_releases.asp?filename=ADHD-advantageousGene.htm

What exactly defines those bearing this genetic makeup? Edison-gene children and... See More
adults are by nature:

* Enthusiastic
* Creative
* Disorganized
* Non-linear in their thinking (they leap to new conclusions or
observations)
* Innovative
* Easily distracted (or, to put it differently, easily attracted to new
stimuli)
* Capable of extraordinary hyperfocus
* Understanding of what it means to be an "outsider"
* Determined
* Eccentric
* Easily bored
* Impulsive
* Entrepreneurial
* Energetic

"In America you consider our most holy men, our yogis and swamis, to be crazy people as well," said the physician with a touch of sadness in his voice. "So it is with different cultures. We live in different worlds."

We in our Western world have such "holy" and nearly enlightened people among us and we say they must be mad. But as we're about to see, they may instead be our most creative individuals, our most extraordinary thinkers, our most brilliant inventors and pioneers. The children among us whom our teachers and psychiatrists say are "disordered" may, in fact, carry a set of abilities — a skill set — that was necessary for the survival of humanity in the past, that has created much of what we treasure in our present "quality of life," and that will be critical to the survival of the human race in the future.

Basically, I'm wondering if it's only a question of being upfront about your interest in astrology. A full disclosure issue.

I believe this is part of the current "shift"... the realization that everyone must get in touch with their spiritual side, as science and technology is rapidly advancing. Along with these quantum leaps in "worldly" achievements also comes what some can perceive as the "dumbing down" of societies (i.e., the loss of language, as less words are being used to communicate and beautiful words have harmonic vibrations that are etheric and healing to one who is attuned) &(and the spotlight on the false idols of the world) comes a sense of detachment from the SOURCE, and this manifests as physical illness and other expressions of negativity.
In other words, as more people are awakening they will spark and ignite others. If you are pointing people to SOURCE, you are performing the highest of works and must have FAITH that you are supported for such noble deeds.
So...
If you BELIEVE and state that you can be both, I think you will be greatly supported in your efforts. It is our own thinking that will paralyze our desire to step through new doorways. You can define and be the pioneer, the visionary, the captain of your new enterprise. Perhaps you were exactly "seeded" for this very unique purpose of uniting these two concepts. As you probably know, it is the collapse of dualistic thinking that ultimately sets us free.

I was researching evolutionary astrology last night and the most evolved souls are those who teach and heal... and this continuous process thus elevates those following behind...especially raising those in the consensus state, the majority of souls in their current state of carnation. Perhaps by the Law of Attraction, those who come to you will be those who will embrace your thinking. Let your brilliance shine according to your faith...it is greatly needed. To me, total and complete healing involves (the Trinity) of the mind, body, & spiritual powers. It seems like this is what you offer.

May clarity and peace for this quest come upon you.
