Description
The part of the human brain called the amygdala gets a bad rap in the New Age. It’s called the “fight of flight” brain, the reptilian brain, the crocodile brain. Indeed, it is the part of the brain in charge of survival. But to that end, it also holds the seeds of the great evolutionary plan. Each of us holds within our cells a “memory” of the potential of human evolution. That memory is stored in the amygdala, and that urge to evolve and adapt and survive evokes the fight or flight syndrome.
We also carry a paradox – an irony – when it comes to Flowering (or the never ending unfolding of our potential.) Paradoxically, we also fear change, and we fear our own self-actualization more than we fear death. You know those dreams you have when someone is chasing you and your run in hideous fear? When you learn to stop, turn around, face your stalker, and say “What do you want?” you almost always discover that the so-called stalker is actually your own highest self asking you to evolve.
With Flowering in your chart, you get to choose between a lifetime of opening and opening and opening to all your potentials, or running and running and running from your own destiny.

Always on the GROW. I have spent my entire life hungry for knowledge with a heaping side of curiosity. My tagline from my youth has been “I AM a WIP, work in progress.” I had no idea how right on target that was with my soul purpose until I was introduced to the work of Dr. Connie Kaplan in The Invisible Garment. The evolution roller coaster I have been riding since birth was exactly the ride for me. Many people throughout my life thought I was never satisfied, unsettled, never happy, hard to please … little did they know I came here to CHANGE and I do it with a vengeance. Every year I look back on my life and am amazed at how much I have grown. Now that I know CHANGE is my purpose for incarnating a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. No longer do I question my love of “change”, my desire to grow, my inability to stay put, my thirst for knowledge and TRUTH. I embrace those beautiful qualities and fertilize them daily. I remember my mother many years ago commenting on how often I change the furniture and paint my house. She said something like “Deirdre is never happy she is always changing the furniture, painting, …”. I have come to realize that my external environment is a direct reflection with my internal environment. As I grow and change the house changes with me!!! I just painted my office “Spring Grass Green” and my living room “Sunshine Yellow” … the bloom is underway! Understanding the principle of Flowering has truly made me BLOOM.
My friends look at my life and they compare it to a snake shedding its skin… I attribute that to having my Ascending in Flowering. My life is constantly transforming. I relish in learning new things and taking on new tasks. Holding still feels like death and I always am drawn to grow in a new direction.
