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.
Fixed Star
Up is up and down is down, right? North, South, East, West are fixed, aren’t they? And Right and Left have always been where they are, haven’t they? It is, it always has been, hasn’t it? I am just not so sure anymore. Something has changed. Let me explain…

The Disappointed Goddess
How my childhood blossom my Virgo attributes Growing up I was really aware of my surroundings at a young age, I quickly noticed that my life did not contain luxurious opportunities. Having to realize my family situation and the environment I was raised in, I humbly accepted the choices my parents have made knowing that they were doing their best to provide for me. My childhood as I recall was consisted of financial problems and arguments between the family members. I was taught that family came first but after witnessing many fights I soon learned that not all families are perfect. As my childhood continues, I remember that in every fight that I have witness I would solve the issue in my head and learn what had lead them to the problem. Having to absorbed all these anger and emotions through out my life it made me emotionally stronger and at the same time empty. Obtaining this ability at such a young age can seem very beneficial to the eyes, but for me it was just pain. In my experience I would use this mindset to calm my parents down assuring them that everything is going to be alright, but being there emotionally for my family it was difficult for I also had my own problems. I made a bad habit of helping people than helping myself and it had lead me to not open up to people as I grew up. As of now I am slowly progressing but occasionally I would have this burning sensation that I have to stand up for all types of justice, but as times flows I get hopeless because I know that the world has given up. I would not consider my childhood bad because I have learn how to appreciate my roots and my family because without it I would not be who I am today.

The Summer Solstice
There's something particularly magical about the Summer Solstice. It is the day where the sun shines the longest, the seeds of the Spring Equinox begin to bloom, and the warmth of Summer has finally arrived. It also happens to be the day that I was born.

I Go Forward
I go forward. It’s all I can do. Every day, that is my only aim. To pursue my goal, to pursue my dreams. All I can ever do is go forward. I arise with no other contemplation on my brain and even when I rest I think only of the terrain that lies ahead. Like a comet streaking across the night sky, I continue on a path with a destination only known to me.

The Gem-In-I
I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY. There is no plainer way to say it. The numbers flow beautifully when you say them. Admittedly I love my birthday in a child-like way. I have no shame in that fact. I have indoctrinated myself to hold dear anything synonymous with 5/25.

Signs of a Scorpio
Have you ever heard multiple people complaining about a day full of jerks and otherwise irritable people? All on the same day? It’s probably not a coincidence. Mercury is probably in retrograde. Mercury is the Planet of Communication and when it’s rotation appears to reverse, it tends to throw people off. There’s a reason that “the crazies” come out during Full Moons. Full Moons are a traditionally powerful time of release. The planets and the stars have an effect on you!

The Wedding of Fire signs
“Yah likhai hai”, as the mystic hindi scholars would say. It means it was written. My whole life from maturity as an embryo to the last breath has been written amongst the stars. Even the smaller details as in my name and attributes are all written in the universe. Sounds pretty abstract doesn’t it? I really didn’t believe it either.

The Fish and The Ram
My entire life I have been trying to figure out which of my zodiac traits were more dominant, exactly where do I fit in? As a teenager, I always seemed to feel torn between the two signs, claiming both but finding it hard to be loyal to either one. Being born on the cusp isn't easy. My Pisces friends never seemed to understand why I was quick to point out that I was born on the cusp. "You're either Pisces or Aries" they say..."simply choose." It's not that simple, how do I choose between the best parts of who I am?

Uncharted Traits
I was born on the 29th of April to a schoolteacher and a computer programmer in a sleepy, artsy college town in Texas. I grew up quietly, the way shy kids do, and excelled at piano, school, and the local softball league. It was a pragmatic childhood built for learning and college applications. I believed in horoscopes about as adamantly as I believed in my sister’s threats when she was angry at me for something - that is, not at all.
