Astrology, Business Registration, and Making it a Reality



Once upon a time, there was a little girl.


She grew up in a very restrictive home and culture, where the women are seen to serve the men, and men are considered as the authority. And the authority’s voice? It is the voice of the final decision. No questions asked. 


She doesn’t like to talk much. Oh, but when she does, it is full of life.

She is full of curiosity, wanting to learn as much as she wants. 

She loves reading books, bringing home 3 pocketbooks from the school’s library, on a school weekday.

She loves glow in the dark stickers. She would put a few ones on her bedroom ceiling and just stare at it at night. 

She hopes to be an astronaut, because she thinks floating in space is cool. 


Then life happened, and that little girl decided to stay in the dark. 

The world was too harsh on her.

She decided to hide her light.


That little girl, she is me.


Fast forward to when my spiritual awakening happened a.k.a. my 1st Saturn return. It started with a nutrition program and a bunch of random explorations of personal growth tools.Along the way, my path led me to astrology. It took me 3 tries in the course of 2 years before I fully accepted that we are inseparable. 


It is through learning & embodying my astrological placements that I am able to slowly and gently bring back that little girl, my light. Astrology has been a huge help in my manifestation and shadow work journey, and especially healing my toxic relationship patterns. It’s something that I want to teach and share to others too, in my own creative way. 


This year, I really felt the call to have it done professionally, starting with registering it as a business.


DTI, Mayor’s Permit, BIR. Monthly filing. Quarterly filing. Yearly filing. Taxable income. VAT. Expenses for registering. Uncertainty of profit. Taxes going nowhere. Redundancy of filing of documents. Keeping updated with the tax regulations because there are times new regulations will appear in just a short amount of period. Plus, I also need to consider the future when or if I want to close the business, which is double or even triple the challenge of opening one. 


With all the many steps that I need to take, I’m still in the first step: changing my RDO (Revenue District Office) to where I am living & working now. And apparently, my tin number was registered by the old accountant in a city that is 13km away from where I was working and living when I first started working. The changing can take as long as 3 months! 

 

I hang on to my anchor on why I’m doing this: 

For my little child, my light, my north node in taurus.

For me, and for the other women out there who are on the same boat.


For the people reading this who are also practicing astrology, and has plans on becoming a professional astrologer, in whatever form it may be for you, I ask you:

What is your purpose in delving into astrology?

What’s stopping you from actually registering it professionally?

Will you allow yourself to seek the aligned support needed to make that calling or dream a reality, into this tangible world?

Will you allow yourself to finally be seen, heard and be known for being an astrologer, in your own unique ways?


I hope you do. 


One day, I hope to see one of you in an astrology-related event, or maybe in one of the business or tax workshop that can help us build this dream into reality.

Grace, the distinction between forming the intention and completing the administrative work is especially useful. Electional timing cannot replace RDO, DTI, permit, and tax requirements; it can only help choose among dates that are already legally and operationally workable.

A practical way to keep that grounded is to list the non-negotiable filing deadlines first, then compare the remaining candidate dates for launch, registration, or public announcement. I work on Sidera, and our guide to choosing a business-start date in 2026 explains that sequence and includes a decision framework: https://sideraai.com/blog/posts/best-day-to-start-business-2026/ Local Philippine rules and professional accounting or legal advice should stay primary. It may also help to keep a dated log of the date chosen, the operational reason, and the outcome, so the timing method can be reviewed rather than credited after the fact.

Balatik, Filipino hunting trap inspired by Orion: On reading about Philippine pre-colonial astronomy

By Col. Romeo Solina, PA, retired Col. Romy Solina and his BALATIK diorama A few weeks ago, “Resti” Santiago, an astrologer friend, sent me a book entitled “BALATIK.” It is a book written by a University of the Philippines professor Dante L. Ambrosio, and subtitled “Etnoastronomiya, Kalangitan sa Kabihasnang Pilipino” and obviously in the Tagalog (Filipino) language. Although I was born in Manila and an a Tagalog, I found it rather a problem reading the contents of the book. Still, I must go over it since I must be knowledgeable in my own native language. On the other hand, the author must have a doctorate, having gone through the baccalaureate and master degrees to be able to write this treatise in the university as I also have gone through. The Balatik book concerns the methods used by the natives of the Philippines using the signs in the skies in order to determine certain seasons for their activities, such as fishing, sailing, hunting, planting, harvesting, and so on. ...

100 Years: The Life and Work of Serafin Lanot (Part 2)

By Ime Morales Read Part 1 Overhauling the Zodiac As the best known astrologer in the country at the time, mainly because of his book Astrology Through Filipino Eyes, which was read not only in America but also across Europe, Serafin Lanot was the only Filipino who got invited to attend the international conference of the American Federation of Astrologers or the AFA. In fact, he was made a member of the AFA convention faculty. During the conference, he presented his paper titled, One World, One Astrology. He wrote in that paper: "Now is the time for astrologers to assume the leadership in this fight for change, no longer as mere consultants and counselors to money changers and reactionary leaders, but as leaders themselves during this Age of Aquarius, assuming the mantle of seer and sage that both history and legend have thrust upon us." He went on to propose a "one world, one astrology" based on "reason, intuition and inspiration, to harmoniz...

100 Years: The Life and Work of Serafin Lanot (Part 1)

By Ime Morales Photos by Kat Palasi ( wwwkatpalasi.tumblr.com ) Serafin Lanot Lanot's former office As part of our research work on the life of Filipino astrologer and writer Serafin Lanot I, together with my friends from my astrology group (Astro Friends), trooped to the home of the Lanot-Lacabas to dig through the family library and go through the old journals and books of Serafin Lanot. There we discovered old certificates, rare books on astrology and even antique astrological equipment. The facts we unearthed, together with information gathered from books, Internet sources and interviews, helped build the report that I wrote for AFP in 2012. One year later, these materials also served to form my presentation on Serafin Lanot on the occasion of his 100th birthday. Finally, I am using the wealth of information culled from our collective research effort to write this entry for the website of AFP. For serious students of astrology in the Philippines, it is imp...
