astronomy

Celestial objects and the phenomena that surrounds them. What lies above the earth forever out of reach. From moons, to stars, galaxies, and beyond.

Spoken Like a True Libra
So, what’s your zodiac sign? It’s the age-old question I’m willing to bet we’ve all been asked at least once. I’m willing to bet even further it’s a question we’ll continue facing for as long as we live. Maybe you’re even the one who tends to do the asking. Astrology continues to infiltrate dating lives, friendships, self-exploration, and, especially as of recently, our digital sphere.

Libra changing the world
I have my sun and my north node in Libra. We are more than just our sun sign. In astrology we can find our life purpose soul purpose in the north node sign. As Libra North node my soul purpose is bring balance into this world. To not choose sides but to hear out both side and find ways for us to make peace and to put our differences aside. At the end we all human and we are all connected. Libras ruling planet is Venus and Venus has an amazing style and is all about love and passion and aesthetics about materialism. What makes a Libra so special is how they can be materialistic but yet want to save the world. I’m talking about Wonder Woman vibes. Libras are set to believe and I myself too want to make the world a better place we love helping people. We never like to pick who’s right but we also like justice. We cannot stand authority figures. We Identify as Peace makers, people pleasers, hopeless romantics. We never give up when a challenge comes our way. We always think about the other person before ourselves. Libras will stand up for what’s right for fairness and peace. We hate conflict, we don’t like to be stepped on. People will at times take advantage of how nice we are, but this air sign has their anger not even going to lie. Just don’t mess with us we have pure hearts we love to love hard. We see beauty in life where others can’t see it. We have amazing style not to mention Kim Kardashian is a Libra and look how she got into politics for prisoners that don’t belong in prison she is fighting for the voiceless that an inspiration. This just shows you how caring a Libra is. Libras will move mountains for people they care for and for total strangers. We believe we are all connected as one by the divine. We all hold a special purpose. We can transform an ugly room to HGTV best decorated room. We find the reason behind everything. We over analyze things but not for bad but to get to the bottom of things. We love art and music and fashion this is how we express our Venus in us. We are endless masters and healers. I can relate to this on a personal level because I want to change the world. I will inspire others to become their best version of themselves. We are all diamonds; we are all unique. We all have a divine purpose. I want to help those in need especially the homeless and the children. I am an empath I tend to care more than others on a deeper level. I can tune into the emotions that a person is feeling and feel deep. I want to travel the world and help the children in those country’s provide them food, shelter, education and teach them about self-love, self-power because we all deserve a beautiful life. It’s not their fault that they were born into that. I want to be a voice for the voiceless. I hope to inspire others not to just think about themselves but to think about others. Imagine if we all come together and help those that need our help. Imagine how many lives we can impact in a magical way physically and emotionally. Libras believe we are all equal this is a strong believe of mines and I’m unstoppable I will do everything in my power to bring this to life. I am living authentic to my souls’ purpose. This is what makes me a Libra. So, let’s go and change the world to a heaven on Earth.

Big Virgo Energy
"You're planning her birthday party seven weeks in advance?" my friend said to me through text message. "That is some big Virgo energy!"

How the stars helped me heal
First, I want to get into how I think astrology works. The earth, sun, and moon are forces of nature that over a millennium have created the miracle that we know as life on earth today. These planets in our solar system were developed by the very stars and celestial bodies that have been dancing through cosmic eons. So, the impact, no matter how distant in time and space, has a physical impact today. It has been common in human culture to look towards the stars for answers, just in the sheer amazement of how large our universe really is. We all wonder if something out in the void is looking out for us. And so, we made stories about what could be up there when in joyous celebration, sobering hardship, and personal victory. These feelings we projected as a collective into the skies above to help tell our story. Maybe if the sun can warm our face only when it shines on it, Pluto (which is still a planet in astrology!) can cause an unprecedented attitude with a whole generation as it slowly gravitates around the rest of the system.

Elusively Aquarius
Catch me if you can. Several years ago, a man who couldn’t take a hint wagered that he could guess my friend group’s respective professional fields. If he succeeded, he could buy us all a drink. For the record, we never agreed to the stakes, but he proceeded to guess. Legal (Andrea - correct), marketing (Diana - correct), marketing (Aanya - correct), and librarian (me - incorrect - OMG). I worked in investor relations at a Hedge Fund at the time, although I would say that I spiritually love the idea of being a prescriptive librarian and that I look very sexy in my glasses.

A Star Is Born
In a time long ago, on March 29 1982, the earth bound stars of Hollywood gathered at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles to be honored at the 54th annual Academy awards. Back then, the path to becoming a star seemed much more like the hero's journey in the myths of the ancients that birthed our archetypal understanding of the constellations. The internet did not yet exist, allowing for a person to reach the heights of stardom for having a cat that can flush the toilet.

Confessions of a Double Virgo
I'm the rarest type of double Virgo! A Virgo with the rising sign (my ascendant) in Virgo. This alignment of the stars at the time of birth means there's no discrepancy between my inner self and the outward appearance.

My Sun & Moon
I am a Taurus, a stubborn, possessive, uncompromising bull & in truth I do agree with most of my zodiac. There are so many aspects to a person that you can't simply say everyone born between this time is going to be like “this” but when you learn more about zodiacs and dive into the wealth of information and knowledge that is astrology, well, you can find some pretty interesting stuff. I'm going to talk about how I learned about different aspects of my zodiac specifically my Sun & Moon on my birth chart & whether I ended up agreeing or disagreeing with them.

The Aliens of Astrology
Aquarians. The outlaws of astrology. The aliens. If it's weird and unconventional, we're probably into it, and we probably heard of it way before you. Welcome to the Air Sign whose creativity and outlandishness truly floats above and beyond most people's heads.

Sun, Moon, and Rising
As someone who has studied science and spirituality, I wholeheartedly believe in the alignment of the stars and astrology. We live in a time where chaos is common, and people come to their own conclusions as to why things are the way they are, in the most logical way they can manage to think. However, the universe is not a coincidental atmosphere, there is a deeper reasoning behind everything - from the way we live our lives, connect with others, and perceive things. Each zodiac sign obtains its own set of distinctive characteristics, and is further differentiated by their placements on an individual’s birth chart. The moment we take our first breath, the universe assigns us with a unique “Big Three.” I was born on the evening of November 13th, and the stars were aligned accordingly: Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon, and Cancer Rising.

The Zodiac Wager
What's your horoscope? It is the common, slightly annoying wheeze of a bad flirt and a mass of assumptions. Redundant and vastly open, the question pulls us into the construct of traits and personality, strengths and weaknesses. A baseline for the souls we encounter in the day to day, a median to which there is no mean.
