A spiritual practice offers two main influences to the horoscope readings that Cheryl & Ed offer. The first is to see you as spirit and to address your current issues by offering information to help you heal. The second influence our spiritual practice offers in a horoscope reading is to see, on an energy level, what is being highlighted in your life right now and relating that to the horoscope.
Cheryl Sanderson
Cheryl is a Certified Spiritual Teacher, Healer & Professional Astrologer.
For the first 15 years Cheryl was obsessed about astrology. She read everything she could get her hands on and attended as many astrology conferences as possible. However it was not enough. Astrology, for Cheryl, kept everything so cerebral and having 5 planets in water she gravitates to emotions.
Some astrologers have the ability to go below the cerebral surface without a spiritual practice and find the psychological issues. However, Cheryl relies on her spiritual clear seeing and her emotional empathy in reading horoscopes.
Cheryl began her spiritual awareness through the teachings of the Leyline Centre for Spiritual Practice in 1991. Her work continues through teaching energy awareness classes and spiritual healing. Cheryl's spiritual practice has deepened, for her, there is a connection between spirituality and how she sees astrology working.
In the future her intent is to teach both practices. As an example of combining spiritual awareness with astrology Cheryl has noticed in a client their 3rd chakra red with excitement, and then looked at the chart only to discover that Mars was in aspect to their Sun.
In Cheryl's own words she says, "I have had many teachers, such as Astrologers Julie Spence, Sandy Hughes, and on the east coast, Ann Toth. But my greatest teachers continue to be my husband Ed Cannell, my daughters Maria & Lindsey, my students and the 'stranger' that crosses my path."
Cheryl has practiced astrology for 28 years, as well as having taught classes and written columns for local newspapers and FAB magazine. Her present focus is on teaching and reading in order to promote healing. She would be honoured to be part of your healing process.
Edward Cannell
The interest in astrology started for Ed in the early 70's. His work and career choices have taken him in a few directions and throughout those experiences he has repeatedly returned to his avid interest in astrology and plunged into deeper depths of understanding.
A spiritual practice has brought a deeper awareness of the former times when astrology was a primary focus. Owning all of that information from past lifetimes is not a matter of conscious thought, it is a matter of spiritual intent.
As Ed sees it, the interesting dynamics of working with Cheryl is how she plays a natural counterpoint to his plunging into the psychological depths by lifting the vibration up a bit and enthusiastically bringing a focus to the current events and themes of the horoscope. Cheryl's favourite expression of this is to quote comedian Flip Wilson by saying, "Lets get back to The church of what's happenning now."
When people ask about compatibility in horoscopes both Ed and Cheryl like to point out the combination that they bring together as a prime example of compatibility issues. With an overwhelming number of quincunx aspects (adjustments, healing, fine tuning and fussy finicky issues) these two are very much a team in spite of the astrological aspects that could be interpreted to the contrary.
Although many astrologers would not have recommended marriage between Ed and Cheryl it has worked wonderfully well because of the level of communication they share in energy work and astrology. In other words, spirit is stronger than fate.
