Astrology is a very in-depth and serious profession which studies the stars and how they affect people and the world. It takes years of study to become truly proficient in astrology. Sandy Anastasi has been an astrologer for over 30 years.
In an interview with Suite101 contributing writer John Culbertson on September 1, 2009, she explores her profession as a psychic channel, how she got involved in astrology, and what's currently going on astrologically within the world. She talks about what channeling is and how it is different from mediumship and explores the importance of astrology in both her own life as well as the lives of others.
Sandy Anastasi - Psychic Channeling
Q: You are called a psychic channel. Many people don't know what channeling is. What is your definition of it? How is it different from mediumship?
SA: "As a psychic channel I open a channel to the other side much as a spirit medium does, but my intent it to connect with my guides, and my clients, not to people who have passed on. Occasionally people who have passed may come in as guides - but most often guides come from the higher realms where information about the future is more readily accessible."
Sandy Anastasi and the Study of Astrology
Q: You are also an astrologer. When did you start studying astrology? Why do you think astrology is important?
SA: "I received my first astrology book when I was fourteen. Since then, everything in the field of metaphysics has been of interest to me. However, I did not pick up an active interest in astrology again until my 27th year when I began taking an astrology course. I quickly graduated beyond what the instructor had to teach and became insatiable in my search for more material.
"By the time I was 30, I had read every astrology book I could get my hands on, and had attended classes and seminars throughout the greater New York area, where I was living. Astrology became the central core of my life – it still is.
"I relate to the world, and think of it, and the people and events in it, in astrological terms. For me, astrological symbols make all things possible to understand. I honestly think that astrology is so important that children should be taught in elementary school along with reading, writing, and arithmetic."
Insights into What's Happening Astrologically In the World Today
Q: Speaking of astrology, many people want to know: What's going on in the stars right now? Life seems absolutely crazy! Can you give them any insights?
SA: "We are in important times now astrologically. We are in the middle of a count-down that will take us out of the Piscean Age and finally and fully into the Aquarian Age.
"Between the fall of 2007 and the end of 2008 there are five transits of outer (MAJOR) planets that mark this final transition into the New Age. A 'quickening' is occurring whose purpose it is to raise consciousness on the planet. We are moving into a new, higher vibration. As with all major transitions, turmoil precedes it. It is not possible to move forward without letting something go. That defines the times we live in now."
Sandy Anastasi's Closing Remarks
Q: Any final words or thoughts that you'd like to share with readers?
SA: "I think we live in wonderfully exciting times. I am glad that those things that have become my life work are finally beginning to meet with public acceptance, and that so many people who have been afraid to come forward and embrace their God-given abilities are finally able to do so."
As an astrologer that is capable of connecting with spirit guides, Sandy Anastasi has a tendency to relate to the world in astrological symbols, believing that all children should learn astrology as part of their elementary school education. Sandy is eager and excited that astrologers and psychics are now meeting more with public acceptance. She also tells people to be aware of the quickening that is currently taking place within the world.
