DIY Divination by Quan Tracy Cherry W elcome to my first column for VintageKC. It will reveal itself as something different than the usual excellent offerings of VKC.

was a focus for each soul within a community, family or tribe. In true Vintage DIY, we must reinstate time to contemplate the nature of our souls. We must root ourselves at the inter- section of Individuality and Collective Roads. Our souls as our witness to the decisions we make; our souls contain our history, collective and individual. If we truly want to DIY, we have to temper our extreme connection to the individual and its narcissistic leanings. Yoga, meditation, prayer and active daydreaming can all be considered “vintage.” In asking, “What is Your Vintage?” think of the fire element as the Sun sign. The fire element shows itself through Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Our souls show through our Moon signs. On a practical level the Moon influences how you nurture others aka mothering, eating habits and even your con- nection to the past and relationship to your home. Realize astrology is a language that uses scientific measurements, and an art form. If you’re astrologically schooled enough you will know two things: the four elements and your Moon sign. FEAW, Fire, Earth, Air, Water. I’ll
Vintage Fire (Intuiting) Vintage fire has very little patience for ambiguity. It wants to act and act now! The worst thing you can do to someone of this element is to want more information. Their visions are full of possibilities. However, when they are truly acting from vision, their Vintage selves have studied the practical and physical shortcomings of their tribe. Aries examines those in authority in order to challenge said authority when they have ceased taking in new and worthwhile info. Leo wants to have simple luxuries based on their own value system, so Vintage Leo can be extremely resistance to any other perspective. Vintage Sag can compart- mentalize like nobody’s business almost to a point of speaking out of both sides of their typically large mouths seemingly to not know truth, when really they want to serve all. Vintage Earth (Sensing) Vintage Earth (Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn) has the additional burden of being curious
When you think “Vintage” also envision “Roots,” and think of this as a contemplative column to balance out our attachment to our smartphones and abbreviated human connection. Not more than ninety years ago to see a psychologist or psychiatrist was considered taboo. Let’s look at a vintage psychologist as an astrologer, shaman, midwife or even a priest. Any open-minded psychologist will honor that astrology predates and is its progenitor. The “soul word” or “psyche logos” and “star word” or ”astro logos” are intimately connected. Vin- tage western astrology got its beginning in the late 19th century because newspaper editors wanted to fill up their column inches. Likewise, I want this column to be a bridge, a healing, as it were to get us speaking to each other about what really matters. Does the fact that you are a Taurus or Sagittarius matter? Yes, however, your star words must be delivered in relational context. Like soul words of “persona,” “subconscious” or “projec- tion,” these are relational. Could you imag- ine the very things you place value upon in VintageKC magazine tied to our fore-parents using such soul words? If you are looking to the things created in the past, why not look to the star words of the past? Each of us has a birthday. Each of us has an elemental make up. Each of the four elements is either masculine (yang) or feminine (yin). I’ll use yang and yin to trick your mind into transcending thinking feminine/yin energy cannot be located within a male body, or vice versa. Refusing to accept we are a combina- tion of both is like saying we only exhale (yang) or inhale (yin) . . . yet we breathe in and out like we are both yang and yin. When our ancestors looked up to the sky, they told stories about our souls. Our individ- uality existed within a community. It is a rela- tively recent phenomenon that individuality
