Where does the name Astral Hippie come from?

The word ASTRAL is simply wonderful. It means ‘relating to or resembling the stars‘ (think sky mapped onto an Astrological chart). It refers to ‘Astral Navigation’, which relates perfectly to exploring the cosmos! In addition, the latin word astrum means star – shiny, light filled, and full of promise!

​HIPPIE, well that's just me wanna-be. I collect random bits of eclectic wonder in life, and love all things roaming, coddiwompling, free, loving, insightful, collaborative, interesting, adventurous and creative.

In truth, the name Astral Hippie just kinda popped up many years ago, and stuck.

And here we are - exploring the stars.

The Rose of Venus

From our perspective on earth, the planet Venus and the Sun orbit us in 8-year cycles. Five petals are created during that cycle, in a pattern called “The Rose of Venus”.

The mathematical calculations for the cycle echo the magical Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio. Heaven repeated on earth!

The inspiration for the original Astral Hippie Astrology logo was born out of this Venus mandala. To me it is a beautiful relational dance with great meaning, sent with the love of Goddess Venus, and the pure power of the sun, for the highest good. Venus and the Sun are also prominent at the midheaven of my own birth chart, in the place of my “life's calling”.

Synchronistic wow-ness!

The below animation shows the beautiful pattern created by the Sun and Venus orbiting the earth.
