"Signs, Signs, Everywhere Star Signs"
"You will win a writing contest, if you are planning to start that diet now is the perfect time, an old friend will resurface in your life. A new job opportunity will come your way." I read as I finished my toast and put down the newspaper and began my day.
toni englehartPublished 3 years ago in FuturismIn the stars or in my head?
Since I was able to read I have been obsessed with star signs. And not just mine either, everyone's around me, and those I envied too. My star sign, you ask? Why, it's forceful, reactive, angry Aries of course.
Dominic McGowanPublished 3 years ago in FuturismCould Alien Microbes Live Off Products of Radioactive Decay?
Microbes living beneath the seafloor feed largely on the products of radioactive decay, aided by sediment of the seafloor, a new study reveals. This finding radically changes how we look at life processes in one of the largest ecosystems on our planet. It could also alter our views of how life may have evolved on Mars or other alien worlds.
The Cosmic CompanionPublished 3 years ago in FuturismI get it, I'm a Gemini
Star signs always baffled me, how can someone have certain traits just by being born on a certain date? During my high school years I would read my horoscope in the back on my magazines and wonder if it held any meaning for me. One day I realized I was trying a little too hard to make the vision a reality, and never read my horoscope again. In fact until this challenge I had not given my sign much thought since those high school days over twenty years ago.

This week’s vocal challenge has interested me. My birthday is in the middle of May which makes my star sign, Taurus. If you’re curious I was born on the 13th May, and I share a birthday with the likes of Robert Patterson and Stevie Wonder, which I think is amazing.

According to quantum physics, when looking through a microscope at a subatomic range, protons are only visible when someone looks through its lens. However, when no one is looking - there is nothing there. That's the best way I can describe what happened to me three years ago…

Destiny NegronPublished 3 years ago in FuturismComfort in the Stars
Many dismiss astrology as nothing more than a myth. A joke amongst friends. ‘My horoscope says I’m going to win the lottery tonight lol’. For me, I’ve always found the stars to be a comfort. Strangers suddenly seem less ominous, less distant, less like strangers when I find out their sign.
John ThackerPublished 3 years ago in FuturismRecipe For Life
Astrology is one of the ingredients that make up my spiritual journey. Periodicals offer many predictions of how your day or life should or will be unfolding. To actually get a true summary of your soul's makeup there is much more to explore than your general birth sign. It is a developed science and couples with numerology. I have dabbled in many of the metaphysical studies throughout my life. I have never become an expert in anything other than my own personal compass that spans seven decades. I am a Taurus in Sun, Ascendant in Gemini, and my Moon is in Leo. I am an eight with four and five.
The Life Unknown
Christopher was beginning to grow tired of his daily routine, and of the way that his life had unfolded up to this point. “Wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat,” he thought to himself, “that’s all I ever do.” What Christopher truly enjoyed were his strolls through town, where he walked at a leisurely pace in the present. This is what Christopher did best. He would breathe the fresh air, smile at the sunshine, smell the roses, petunias, and other flowers that he passed. He’d wave at the trees and imagine their branches were waving back to him. He saw upside-down worlds through the reflections of the canals which columned the town like the spaces between paragraphs.

Astrology. Ah that old romantic, dare I say sexy, unconventional, dare I say kooky, field of study rooted in ancient philosophies that has taken on many forms but practiced by eccentrics from all over the globe since before the birth of Christ. In case there’s anyone out there who has been living under an asteroid, let’s have Wikipedia explain. After all, the internet encyclopedia is more trusted today than…astrology:
