It is said that our greatest challenge individually and collectively is to create channels for the Soul’s expression in our daily lives. As we create these avenues for the outer expression of inner life, we also consciously co-create our own destinies.

In the process of reorientation to the new archetype, ask yourself if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Consistently seeking methods of self-improvement that give you a feeling of greater wholeness.
• Expressing interest in methods and/or processes which serve to heal other people from negative and addictive patterns.
• Becoming increasingly aware of others outside of your immediate family and/or social circle.
• Finding it easier to relate with people connected to you through similar belief or ideological systems.
• Becoming exhausted (emotionally or mentally) by civic, social, or spiritual activities that at one time used to be enjoyable or at least tolerable. Do these activities represent a distinct drain on your vitality?
• Increasingly finding yourself attracted to love and less attracted by desire OR are experiencing a conflict between the two and trying to unite them.
• Growing increasingly dispassionate, detached and discriminating. Does sometimes his make you feel guilty, fearful or at a loss?
• Definitely searching and maybe even finding a greater purpose for your life’s energies. Is “service” becoming an important factor or even a dominant theme in your life?
• Seeing through and growing dissatisfied with “game structures” tied to non-regenerative egocentric habit patterns. Do you desire to become more detached from these magnetic traps?
• Sensing, perceiving and experiencing another aspect of Love which is more impersonal  and detached – one that is unconditionally supportive and demands nothing in return – one that has an attraction beyond all differences like gender, ethnic/religious/social orientations.
• Feeling a growing need to be part of a group of people who are working towards these same inward and outward goals.
• Becoming increasingly impersonal to all things that are personal and increasingly personal to all that is impersonal.

The late great Alan Oken

One of the ways in which Oken has pioneered in the field of astrology was by discussing non-straight sexuality issues. His Astrology: Evolution and Revolution, includes charts for a bisexual man, a gay man, a lesbian, and a transsexual (Christine Jorgensen) amongst others. His Soul Centered Astrology and Complete Astrology have become epic reads for all astrologers world-wide.
