Well, yes there is. The new child on the block: Human Design Astrology. Go on, here's some links -- go run your chart and, you can get some more information about how wonderful you are and the potential you hold and the habits and patterns that hold you back, but you already knew most of the information or did something surprise you? At first I was very ho-hum about this Human Design thing.
Sometimes it takes a minute to understand why the universe shared with you what it did with the impact it did brought that gift, information, understanding, knowledge or wisdom. Human Design Astrology, I believe, is the third form of astrology for me to integrate to have a balanced perspective on the information I realize when I collect all the symbols and tell their stories. And, we all know that three is the magic number. So, I'm going with it.
For experienced astrologers, there is the helio-centric perspective of astrology that I believe is best suited for use with the Human Design concepts. If layered, the information of Human Design Astrology provides either an underlayment or a top coat to the helio-centric focus of the creative person. Often more effective than looking at the traditional natal geo-centric chart, the Human Design system offers an alternative perspective of geo-centric everyday life. This system seems to work best in combination for artists, inventor, creator, gardner, innovative leaders or have strong outer planet or 8th house indicators in your traditional natal chart.
When taken from the helio-centric perspective, the "Sun's view" of your life, you are inviting a perspective beyond just, "What am I here on earth to do?" to a perspective of "What am I here to do for planet earth?" As a living being giving birth to us her children, the earth gave birth to us to ensure her survival in the solar system, the galaxy and the cosmos. We can choose to embody that energy with all its unique gifts and attachment to the cosmos. That is why we are curious.
And, believe it or not, that is actually easier for some people to understand and do.
As the sun, being the center of our solar system has its sphere of influence over its system, the sun is also a part of that Galactic Center reality and it acts and interacts with the Galactic Center (and all that the GC represents beyond that) to empower and coordinate its control, authority and management of its own solar system.
So, what kind of earthling R U?
Seriously. Without getting into the possible reality that we are not all "pure earthlings", let's start with our familiar zodiac (both for the prevailing energy as well as the true cosmic positions) of our reality from a helio-centric position. Its a chart option on most programs, and Astro.com, will generate both a Tropical and Sidereal helio-centric chart of your birth data for free. Where is the earth and moon position? What sign? Start with what you know about astrology and go from there, you may want to read the sun sign information for that sign and say, "I am that for the earth."
For 2013, I have committed to writing here once a month. On this subject, this is the introduction, and I hope to share more thoughts on helio-centric perspectives and more about what I learn for the uses of Human Design Astrology.
peace & harmony,

Twisting Up The Spiral or Aquarian Tendencies
When one contemplates evolution . . . that innate desire to do something different, ostensibly more advanced but sometimes not . . . the spiral is the symbol of those thoughts, that desire, that movement. The spiral requires transformation and/or change to break out from the circular pattern of 'revolution' to convert that movement to 'evolution.'
Finding one's way through that transformation or change is tricky at best, but using 'revolutionary' astrology -- the astrology of circles that keep us revolving around a zodiac, trapped in a geo-centric reality -- does not allow for evolutionary astrological navigation.
OK -- I KNOW I'm using that catch phrase, "evolutionary astrology," but I'm not talking about that concept or system of "new" astrology that has been hijacked by some modern astrologers. "Evolutionary Astrology" is a system still based on a geo-centric zodiacal circle. A beneficial circle of understanding no doubt for many, but for most reading this, the yawns of "been there, done that" are being heard far and wide. This is not a blog on "Evolutionary Astrology" but on the navigation of spiral evolution using astrology.
The most essential element in navigating a spiral course for your life is perspective -- not the geo-centric one presented by the zodiac cast in the traditional forms. Using a helio-centric and "fixed stars" to help establish a zodiacal chart in context to the larger picture, one can begin to eclipse the revolution of the earth reality and spiral into a more cosmic reference point for the individual's experience here on earth.
How else can you get the loft needed to spiral out of the circular rotation of the single plane of three dimensional existence if not for the build up of energy along the revolutionary circle upon which the spiral is connected?
It is not necessary that everyone evolves, in fact, not everyone can/should/will or even wants to, most people are happy either being a part of the prevailing energy in either a passive or active supportive role or in a passive or active contra role. If you are evolutionary in nature, those around you engaged in that system are your power source for the propulsion of your spiral shift. The more they are themselves in the role they play in life, the more energy they contribute to the spiral shift you are consciously making.
The more you support those around you doing their life as best they can, they are doing the same for you -- they don't *have* to be even in the same book you are in to be your support for the task you have to evolve the consciousness of yourself, and hence, the world. You can *try* to tell them about the potential of the spiral, but the truth is, only those who know that the spiral exists and they want to "jump on board" can hear the truth. Don't waste too much time trying to convince others about the truth, just live it the best you can for yourself.
Astrologically, I believe, if you are not looking at your helio-centric zodiac chart, you cannot navigate the spiral shift. Only through that helio-centric perspective can you glean a picture big enough to understand your connection to the spiral energy for our times on this planet in this solar system. For some, I believe, the context is even greater, including a alignment with the Galactic Center and reference context to some major stars that have resonance with the individual.
Look at a bigger context of your existence, and soon the navigation of the Aquarian Age ride won't seem so unknown, as the information you can glean from the zodiacs drawn with these larger contexts will allow you the re-member that which you came here knowing.

Compass Cardinals of Different Hues
Understanding a new reality requires the shift in perception that accommodates a new structure for be-ing.
As you awaken to the notion that you create the reality you see around you, you can appreciate the nuances of your creative source and incorporate more and more of those which lie below the surface of the consciousness. Hidden deep within the crevices of the subconscious lies the source for all you do not understand or for that which you choose to deny your authorship of such creation.
When we abdicate or deny the energies of our source for the first time to the programmed prevailing energies, we learn a new mental process by which our personal habits are created to deal with the world as we experience it. The shift of the mental patterns require conscience and deliberate retraining for us to seek grounding in reality despite the view we see through our patterned vision.
But if one can begin to see the patterned view, then one can begin to see the difference our true sight brings to the world around us. Then, we can begin to create in our truth the world in which live.
Astrologically, the vision of our world is seen through the cardinal points of the zodiac, our compass as you will. Imagine if you will that "true north" has shifted by several degrees but our maps are all aligned with a "north" that no longer registers on our compass. How can we possibly go through life with a map with the reference point of "north" is not reflected by "true north"? The shift of the polar centers of reality cannot possibly allow us to view the map accurately . . . unless, of course, you use the map with an eye incorporating a "correction" of the compass.
Similarly, we must now view our lives in the astrological context. To look exclusively at the tropical zodiac as being the "map of the individual" ... of the true individual ... demands that we stay in the old reality (that of the Age of Pisces) that was crafted long ago and has been used for the purposes of creating the structure of our present reality. Which has its place and context, but as this shift to enter into the new Age of Aquarius, we must too shift our perspective of astrology concept and cardinal points of reference.
The Age of Pisces is dependent upon our Gregorian time structure and the tropical zodiac, hence its applicability with the current prevailing energy that is giving way to the new Age of Aquarius. For most people, this tropical zodiac and structure as it is will be all that their lifetime will experience, understand and know. For others, a new realization and way of viewing the astrological symbols must be engaged and employed, lest the map be based on a reality with which they have no connection. And for others, a hybrid of the two to allow the bridge to be built, the understanding of operations within both realities and the transition between the two can facilitate exponential development and growth.
Understanding the context of the Great Age within any individual's life is a tool of the precession of the equinoxes and the impact of that on the cardinal points of the astrological chart. The integrated use of several schools of astrology (such as tropical, sidereal or actual) dependent on the individual and their connection with the structures that exist on the many levels of our reality, is the task of the astrologer who undertakes the facilitation of the "alignment of the compass" for the individual.
For the intrepid astrologer, I encourage you to experiment in the schools of thought that once were thought to be so separate and unconnected. You will soon find a thread of integration to help bring a shift to the consciousness of our humanity through the individual way your integrate the symbols to find greater depth of experience for a new way of be-ing.

"Be-ing" meaning the full existence of

Abdication is a choice that denies the human experience
from truthful information and reality.
It empowers the falsehoods of the programming to
establish their foothold patterns in our mental processes.
