Those who accept the power of astrology sometimes ask me about the best time/day to start something – Will the planets be in the right position etc?
This branch is known as ‘elective astrology’. It chooses the right time to ‘elect’ to do something by checking in advance where the planets will be. No different really than looking at the sky to anticipate sunshine or rain. Getting married is quite a favourite. And it works! That’s from practical experience too!
The love of my life Eileen and I recently flew away to a romantic Registry in UK to at long last be married. Not in Ibiza I grant you, but we’ll be doing the same as many couples and having a blessing ceremony here in Ibiza during early spring. Some of our friends from Ibiza joined us, so in spirit it was an Ibiza wedding.
The timing in all truth was almost accidental, as I have to tell you that for over two years I’ve been constructing charts to try to find a ‘good’ day when the planets and stars would favour our marriage.
Several months ago while looking forward at the calendar for this and next year, I realised that dates were getting tight, so I picked a date and said ‘What about this?’ Eileen having agreed, I suddenly thought – Ah…. Chart? So I set one for the day, time, and place…. Lo and behold it turned up trumps! Better than I could have ever wished for. Out of about fifty criteria, forty seven were good, and the remaining three were not terrible. The cosmos would smile on us.
We had a fantastic day; everything went right for us and the family and friends who joined us. The weather forecast was rain and fog for the day – instead we had sunshine! The cosmos truly gave us its blessing!
We’ll be celebrating here on Ibiza too at the incredible Neolithic stone circle at Mandalay in Cala Jondal. This must be one of the most spiritually powerful places on the island. Yes, it’s a REAL stone circle created by renowned energy healer Derek Talbot, using stones and boulders from the Prescelly hills in Wales. Yes, Derek transported the stones from UK because they are so very special, drawing and focussing the subtle energy from the cosmos.
Just standing in the circle you can feel the energy focussed from the cosmos, – and we’re actually going to celebrate our marriage there with family and friends witnessing our vows and blessings.
Of course it will be a bit of a ‘busman’s holiday’ for Eileen and I, as ‘Ibiza Eileen’, maker of the finest wedding cakes on Ibiza at ibizacakes.com will be making our cake, and I shall as ‘Hedley Paul’ of blessings-on-ibiza.com will be writing our special vows and blessings. Luckily we both love our work, enjoying the happiness of so many couples, but it may feel strange sitting on the other side of the fence.
Meanwhile, a pic from our wedding day in UK.
Having our cake and eating it!
