Copping To Being An Astrologer - Going Public With Your Beliefs In Spite Of The Perils Involved

I was talking to pal and astrologer, cf perez of ancientsky.com this morning and she relayed a story from ten years ago. Apparently she was reading charts at a party and she had some gal on screen.

“Oh, I said. I see you work the government. No I don’t, she said. But there were several indications this gal worked for the government so I said, oh. So where do you work? Oh, well I live in Sacramento and work for the State Department.” Continue reading The Persecution Of Astrologers: cf perez Meets An Unattractive Woman Who Works For The Government

I wonder how the astrologers out there feel about being made illegal.

Awhile back the soldier noted the affinity between his career in Special Forces and mine as an astrologer. He meant that we both had unique callings and he was pointing how we were both unusual, even as teenagers. But I went immediately to the bottom floor… to basement with this.

Because socially most would agree introducing your new man… a highly trained killer is going to turn some heads and leave most people nervous and gulping. But I can tell you firsthand I have identified myself as an astrologer and nothing but for about 15 years and doing so has been a social death to the same degree from day one.

People just don’t get you. They don’t want to get you. They just want their family member to dump you can come back with someone safe like a dental hygienist. Someone normal.

And it doesn’t matter if the man I am with is happy beyond recognition. I still cannot be embraced or even accepted for that matter. It just doesn’t happen. You’re an irritant. So when laws like these are considered, never mind passed, it’s very painful. Because I know it feeds the fire and drives the prejudice even deeper.

And am I going to stop being an astrologer? Well, no. That’s not an option. I was born to be an astrologer, I have been at this since I was 8 years old. What am I to do when they make my proudly lived life invalid, illegal and repugnant? What do you do?

Anyone out there with feelings about this?
