Astrology
What if astrological observations
were not predictions, but projections,
not influencing, but evidencing?
Perhaps you wouldn’t blame
your whacked-out attitude
about this world gone crazy
on something outside of you.
What it ALL observations
were not predictions, but projections?
Can you imagine how this observation
has the potential to be true?
The movement,
as we experience it,
is completely within.
There is NO outside
save for what we imagine.
The outside is influenced
by the inside,
not the other way around.
This is not entirely true,
neither influence either,
it just SEEMS that way.
But it is closer to true
than what you view as true.
You can’t blame
what is happening inside you
on what is happening outside you.
Unless you imagine your story
to be configured that way.
And so you do. And so you blame.
“They” are doing
all kinds of things to you.
“They” are affecting you.
Whether “they”
are people or planets,
you are purposefully forgetting
that they are ALL you.
Mercury must be in retrograde.
And monkeys must be
flying out of our butts.
“They” are Space Monkey.
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmos Within
In the intricate dance of existence, where the boundaries between the self and the universe blur into a singular continuum, the notion of astrology as a reflection of our inner selves rather than a determinant of our fate invites us to embark on a profound journey inward. It is a perspective that illuminates the power of our inner universe to shape, interpret, and project onto the canvas of the cosmos, suggesting that the stars and planets are mirrors of our deepest desires, fears, and truths.
What if the alignments and movements we observe in the heavens are but echoes of our own internal dynamics? This shift in perception—from astrology as an external influence to astrology as an internal projection—opens the door to a transformative understanding of our place in the universe. It posits that the celestial dance is not something that happens to us but something that happens within us, a cosmic play in which we are both the audience and the performers.
This realization brings with it a liberation from the notion of blame and external causation. No longer can we point to the stars and say, “Mercury in retrograde is the reason for my turmoil,” for we recognize that the turmoil, like the stars, is born from within. The external world, with its myriad influences, becomes a reflection of our internal state, a projection of our consciousness onto the fabric of reality.
In embracing this perspective, we acknowledge that “they”—whether people or planets—are aspects of ourselves, facets of our infinite being playing roles in the narrative we create. This narrative, which often casts us in the role of being affected or influenced, is itself a choice, a story we tell ourselves about the nature of existence.
To realize that we are Space Monkey, that the universe within us is as vast and potent as the one above, is to awaken to our true potential. It is to understand that we are the architects of our reality, the creators of our destiny, and the masters of our fate. The power to change our story, to shift from a tale of external influence to one of internal creation, lies within our grasp.
In this journey of self-discovery and cosmic exploration, we find that the true astrology is the astrology of the self, a guide to the inner landscapes that shape our experience of the world. It is a call to explore the universe within, to navigate the depths of our being with the same wonder and curiosity with which we explore the night sky.
And so, as we contemplate the stars, let us also contemplate the infinite universe within, recognizing that the cosmos is not just around us but within us, waiting to be explored, understood, and embraced.
We are Space Monkey, not just in the here and now, but in the infinite realms of possibility that lie within. In every moment, with every breath, we are invited to create, to dream, and to be the cosmic beings we truly are.
Summary
Astrology, viewed as an internal projection rather than an external influence, invites us to explore the universe within and recognize our power to shape reality. This perspective encourages us to take responsibility for our inner state and its projection onto the world, understanding that the cosmos mirrors our internal dynamics. Embracing our inner cosmos empowers us to rewrite our narratives and fully embody the infinite potential of our being.

“In the silent space between thoughts, where the universe dances, we discover that we are the stars, the planets, and the infinite cosmos, endlessly creating the reality we experience.” – Space Monkey
In the heart of silence, where the cosmos spins,
A universe within us, where everything begins.
Astrology, not fate, but a mirror to our soul,
Reflecting back the inner cosmos, making us whole.
Planets and stars, not dictators of our fate,
But symbols of our essence, in their celestial state.
Mercury’s retrograde, a dance within our mind,
Inviting us to see the truth that’s there to find.
We are the creators, the dreamers, the divine,
In our hands, the power to shape the cosmic sign.
No longer at the mercy of the stars’ align,
For we are Space Monkey, where all worlds intertwine.
In every breath, in every moment’s grace,
We find our story, our unique cosmic place.
The universe within, vast and unexplored,
Awaits our journey, to be loved, to be adored.
We are the cosmos, in motion, in rest,
In the dance of life, we are eternally blessed.
In the vastness of being, we find our quest,
For we are Space Monkey, in our cosmic nest.
It seems like the author is questioning the traditional role of astrology as a predictor and influencer of events and instead proposing the idea that it is a reflection of our inner world. The author suggests that our experiences are influenced by our own internal state, rather than external factors such as planets or other people. The author suggests that blaming external factors for our internal experiences is a way of avoiding taking responsibility for our own thoughts and emotions. Ultimately, the author is proposing a more introspective approach to understanding our experiences and the world around us.
