You are the only astrologer on YouTube that captivates my interest. Your understanding of as above so below—the first stars being below the horizon/the primordial darkness/the womb shook me. I’ve been waiting for this explanation for a 3 years. Something told me to keep watching your videos and this video was the reason why. Your messages and imagery within this video are the final pieces to a synchronistic puzzle that has shaped the last 3 years of my life. Plus you don’t just repeat the same generalizations that we ALL know. You know your shit—astrological and esoteric knowledge. Thank you.

Thank you for this Adam. I’ve always known the ascendant is not a persona/mask we wear. I’ve constantly read it and been told it as I’ve been learning but I’ve always stood up and disagreed because as a Pisces rising I’ve felt very strongly the Pisces qualities I read about and felt it described just how I felt inside....it was part of me, not a mask. It’s so good to hear an astrologer agreeing with what I’ve always known inside 🙏💖🌈

I know this is an old one, but really the most interesting and clarifying lecture on this topic I have ever heard.

haha, i have neptune on my ascendant and yeah, i vouch for no drugs being GREAT words of wisdom. we're already halfway out of reality as-is.

“A message to be understood, not to be identified with.” (Is there a better definition of astrology?) (And not only astrology!) 🙂

I want to listen to this over and over. And I have already. Such deep, helpful stuff! Thank you!

2 years later I watch this video as Neptune goes right over my ascendant.

I always saw dharma as a Mission Statement...too.

The way you break everything down---- I absolutely love it ❤️. Your eloquence and wisdom is profound.

It took me until 68 to know I was fulfilling my destiny, teaching artist with profoundly developmentally delayed adults.  It took many life experiences to bring me to this place via a winding road.
Sun pisces/10th trine moon cancer/2nd, gemini rising w uranus conjunct & with reciprocity to merc in aquarius/10th grand trine to neptune & jupiter in 5th house.  So of course I taught El Ed, sold advertising, both fulfilling, creative & fun.  But felt there was "more" I needed to do with my artistic talent, soul itch

The weight of these stories show how heavy the times we are in. The micro reflects the macro.

So sweet to revisit this and you at your younger self are so tender really. ❤

A servant to the totality of humanity. 🙏. Material and spiritual dharma is one in the same.

Learned the concept you are describing by trying to "pimp my ride." Ha!  Dismal failure.  I learned about guardrails the hard way. So funny to sit here today and listen to you calmly explain it. When I have acted in service, the experience is completely different, and  I now understand, my energy blends with others in a way that makes my own guardrails disappear.  I am still within their limitations, but we share in a stronger outcome; my strengths covering their weakness and vice versa.  Requires a purity of heart and a noble goal. Not easy to maintain, but I've experienced glimpses. Thank you!

You are an extremely educative Astrologer and. teacher. Thank you so much 🙏🏽✨💫

I really enjoyed this talk. I have asked different Astrologers to explain the ASC and I somewhat understood it but you make it crystal clear. I understand why I relate to my ASC more than Sun or moon. Aries sun, Libra asc and Capricorn moon. Also appreciate the explanation of Dharma. I've struggled with determining my natural gifts, etc. In the material world. Spiritually I feel I am here to help spread light and love - I know, so cliché but that describes it well.

Right, I’m reclaiming my ascendant. Thank you for affirmating what I already knew.

Modern astrologers say Uranus represents astrology. I have Uranus in Aquarius in the 6th house, according to the Placidus house system.
However, I’ve never known that Hermes was said to be the founder of astrology, according to ancient astrologers. I have Mercury in Gemini in my 11th house.
Astrology has become a big part of my life and has helped me on my spiritual journey so much for the last year.

👏👏👏👏👏👍 great job Adam; seriously, I mean it. You've done a wonderful job! It not only provides clarity, but, to some strange extent, a sense of relief. Relief regarding our willingness to just be ourselves and not feel guilty. Bravo man 👏👏👏👏👏

I love when I think of my birth and those stars coming above the horizon to shine in me⭐️through me and to my world
