As Within Has an Intro

I have to start somewhere... Right?

For those of you who don't know much about me or the As Within project, it is something that has been brewing inside of me for years now. I've recorded videos and never done anything with them. As I mention in other blog posts, I have an issue with just putting things out there. I thank my Virgo placements along with my Mars in Capricorn in the 6th and Saturn in the 5th for that. Haha! Fellow astrologers will get that. However, I also want to make sure that I'm actually using the astrology to improve my life as well, not just understanding the different things I've got going on. I was recently reminded of the practical ways to use these placements when I was re-watching a reading I got from another astrologer. Had I listened to her back when I got the reading, I would be in a different place now. Either way, I could simply say that the Virgo and Mars placements make it hard to actually do things and the Saturn in the 5th makes it so I take longer to create things (if I create them at all) or I can find ways to use those placements and work with those energies to accomplish what I want. Virgo is really good at taking existing things, finding flaws and improving them. It typically likes to do so by making a plan and executing it (for the most part). Mars in Capricorn is Mars dealing with Saturn. Mars is fiery, and all about action and force and Saturn is cold and more focused on foundations and structure. When Mars is in Capricorn he's traditionally known to be in his exaltation and that could be because all of the force and might of Mars can really benefit from structure and something to work towards, Capricorn being a cardinal sign and therefore geared towards action probably also helps and is benefitted by the drive of Mars. However, Mars needs the actual action in order to not get frustrated and angry. So, I can apply the need for actual movement and action to at least start the ball rolling and as I'm going and doing things, my Virgo placements can kick in and refine the details and fix the mess that I start off with. Saturn being in Sag in the 5th may have played on fears of creating and the creations not being everlasting, but Saturn in Sag can also benefit from the action and movement because it's in a fire sign and one ruled by Jupiter at that.

In the case of my current situation, I had been working on editing this video when the time for the astrological election I wanted to use for posting it came about. It came up fast and I'll admit, I could've gotten myself better prepared for this, but I didn't. So, while this video is definitely just a very rough beginning, it's a beginning. I've already got a bunch of things that I'll improve on in mind for my next videos and I'm not even sure when the Spanish and Portuguese versions will be posted, but... alas, I have posted a video. I tried to edit together a few different takes of this video that I had done and it is exhausting. I should get better with time at any rate. The important thing is that action has been taken and now I'll be able to improve with each video. I had to recreate the YouTube channel because I don't know what happened to the original one that was established with a different election. I guess we'll be able to see how the astrology plays out for this because some things moved into different configurations and it'll probably have interesting implications. When I do one of my first videos talking about astrology, you'll see that I'm not one who believes everything in one's life should be done around astrology, I feel the same about any form of divination as well. Life should be lived and too much worrying about astrological weather and whatnot can lead to issues. I missed this the exact election, but I still have some of the original elements and that I wanted and we'll see how it goes. Just the same, a beginning to the channel has finally arrived.
