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.

No Fault of Mine
“No one can reduce me to a checklist,” I would say. “That’s your Aquarius rising talking,” a helpful astrologer would retort.

The Ambiguity of Horoscopes
My mother birthed me into this world on June 3rd, 1971. That means I fall smack dab in the middle of the Tribe of Gemini. I discovered my sign as an older child, not because of a belief in astrology but because a tabloid rag in the check-out line spotlighted a story about famous Geminis on the front cover. I learned I had something in common with Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy. After I learned my sign, for entertainment, I occasionally read the horoscopes in my local newspaper. The editor of the paper stuck the horoscopes in a small box on page three. People with failing eyesight probably utilized a magnifying glass to absorb the possibilities for the day or checked to see if the predictions had rang true. I found the prognostications to be quite vague. No "soothsayer" dared to share anything too specific for fear of looking like a fraud, besides as long as they predicted plausible life happenstances and people read their work, the "prophets" earned a paycheck.

just as the stars do
I reached up and grabbed hold of one, a star. I was hesitant thinking it would be too hot but was surprised to find it was cool, it spun softly in my hand. As I reached I realized the stars looked like tiny pinpricks in the sky, there to make sure we had enough air to breathe. I took a deep breath and grabbed another star, and just like that, I was using them as footholds. As I climbed as fast as I could, I was passing through the constellations. I passed Cassiopeia. I had my foot stuck in Orion’s belt. I was climbing further and further away from the Earth. Where was I going? Only the stars knew.

Reasons Why Libras Are The Best
Today is February 25, 2021. My horoscope reads: Chances are good that you will receive a helping hand or comfort from someone many years your senior who cares about you, Libra. Don't hesitate to ask for their thoughts, ideas, and assistance. They will probably enjoy being able to do this for you and be glad that you've approached them. Be open and accept the love and support that's offered.

Leo Rising
Astrology was really never my thing. Nor did I really believe in fate. I mean who hasn't read their daily horoscope at the back of a magzine/newspaper? It's kind of like opening up a fortune cookie to that encrypted message that will change the outcome of your life moving forward "This will be your year." I knew it!!!

The Scorpio Inside Me
I think there is a grey line that separates the hardcore believers in the universe and all it's workings from those who put their faith in other places. One thing that I feel confident in saying though, is that no matter where your core belief system is, we all know what our zodiac signs are, and we've all been curious at some point in our lives, even at least once, to see what our zodiac signs say about us and how true they really are in each of our personal journeys. If you're one of those curious people right now, I can tell you how to get your answer, and what my personal story has been. Whether my life, personality traits and character are truly based off my sign or not, I suppose none of us will never really know. But, here's where you can begin to understand your zodiac sign and maybe grasp an understanding of not only yourself, but others in your life, and how your personalities may clash, or on the other hand, really mesh. Whatismysign.net is a great resource to begin your online search into what you can expect in people...Especially a Scorpio like myself.

Battling the stars and what they say
Up there... above us the world in which we reside... look past every cloud and patch of sky. You will see those interstellar creations, these extraterrestrial masterpieces, carefully with every star... they tell each and every one of us a story.

My Zodiac SIGN Virgo ( What are my Pros / Cons )
The Virgo natives are the best organized and most prudent and everything they do in life must be as perfect as possible for them otherwise they will be left in a void that they can hardly accept.

Astrology sacred science
The western zodiac sun sign is not enough to pinpoint who we are entirely. I have investigated this matter for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the light within that powers my spirit and soul.

Born in December. Top Story - February 2021.
I was born in December. Two weeks late. Originally due to be a Scorpio but fate had destined me for a Sagittarius. I come from a long line of Sagittarius. My Father and I share the same birthday of December 3rd, his father before him on December 2nd, and my Mother is December 13th. Not only is my mother a Sagittarius but her rising sign is also a Sagittarius. Turn up the heat! That’s a whole lotta fire signs in one house baby.

"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.

In 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.
