Our biggest challenge in life is not troubling behaviors. Our biggest challenge in life is our lack of understanding of those troubling behaviors.

            Often in our most troubling behavior lies the most potent gift we have to give the world. The gift comes when we truly understand our behavior.

            For instance, say someone is scattered and all over the place. This is a common behavior pattern that can cause real damage to lives and relationships.

The multi-passionate side of themselves is a side they don’t yet understand. And this very side of themselves may harbor a unique strength that’s dying to find the right outlet.

            Let’s look at the life of celebrity Joe Rogan.

He is a stand up comic. He is a commentator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He interviews intellectuals on one of the most popular podcasts in the world.

So, what is his job? What does he do? It’s hard to sum it up in one title.

Yet, when we look at his astrological birth chart it all makes perfect sense.

He was born with Mercury and Mars in alignment.

Mercury symbolizes the voice, speaking, the mind. Mars heats up and activates whatever it is in alignment with, adding athleticism and warrior-like bravery.

His role as a commentator (Mercury) for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (Mars) is an easy match to spot for this combination. Yet stand up comedy is too, in that bravery (Mars) is required to entertain a live audience with one’s voice (Mercury). If you listen to his podcast, sooner or later you will realize that you are basically listening to Joe Rogan exercise (Mars) his mind (Mercury) in public. The podcast is a way to capitalize on intellectual discussions he’d probably be taking on anyway.

The trick to uncovering one’s gifts lies in understanding why we behave the way we do, and astrology is an excellent tool for seeing straight to the heart of our behaviors.
