But another point of view is that you might feel you are "missing out", that you feel denied a true understanding of certain areas of life that you would dearly like to discover. Carol looks at various voids, including unoccupied signs and houses, lack of qualities and elements, unaspected planets, a dearth of certain aspects and Void of Course Moons.

It has been said that we are not Human Beings seeking spirituality but Spiritual Beings enjoying a Human experience.

Yet all is taken up in each one's Book of Life and our lives are spent trying to discover and read what is written on the pages of that Book.
However, in its wisdom the spiritual world has given us tools to help us in this quest - Astrology, the I Ching and the Tarot.
This talk will open the door to investigate how these ancient systems act, individually and collectively, as a portal into discovering the secrets contained in the Book of Life and the crucial role of the practitioner in guiding clients along the path of self-discovery.

Within that larger field he has a pattern of his own - an individualized pattern determined and conditioned by his numbers, his elements, and the Seven thunders, which surrounded him at birth.
Through the Seven thunders it gives him his clue and a further extension and clarification of his own astrological and numerological map, strictly calculated according to elements, attitudes , emotions, and reactions to all others and - most emphatically - to himself.
