Happy birthday Tim

Happy birthday Tim

I barely know you except from your works that I have read. Let me offer you this birthday ode. I hope it does not mess with your head.

You have traveled once more around the sun. From what you I have gathered, I think you are having fun. You are no longer an infant, toddler or teen, but a man who is getting old. Perhaps you are curious about what the skies on the eighth day of the seventh month have foretold.

Your challenge has sparked me to be embolden. We have come from stardust, and we are golden. I believe we have arrived in the age of Aquarius, but to say I have knowledge of astrology would be nefarious. Let's explore if the stars might give a sign of how your birthday, blood and personality align.

On July 8th, the anniversary of your birth, the old moon appears one half its girth. It rises in the East beside Saturn the planet of accountability. Saturn represents structure, stability, reality and mortality. The Lord of the rings , returns every 29.5 years. Is this a year when you are changing gears? In Roman myth Saturn brought in the Utopian "Golden Age". Is this birthday a developmental milestone, as suggest many a sage.

On your birthday, Regulus, one of the four ancient Royal Stars, called the heart of Leo the lion, holds astrological memoirs. Regulus called the Little King pairs with Venus, the loving Queen in the west. Astrologically this warns be open hearted, lead with integrity, encourage the expression of love and grace and cultivate harmony in creativity to your best. Blend love, beauty, and value, with leadership, power, magnanimity and what have you. Venus warns against building relationships based on status or glamour and disdains if love is pursued for dominance or power. This rare spectacular astronomical and astrological alignment suggests true heart's intentions and leadership will merge with refinement.

A week later, when meteors and asteroids shoot fireballs from the cosmos. there will be a passive movement from high concentrations to low in exosmose.

Your horoscope says you are a serious minded, yet carefree, eccentric Cancer, with a quirky personality and a powerful need to have the answer. You are idealistic but earn what you have. You speak your inner truth and listen to others with respect -what a healing salve.

I wonder if there is any truth in this amateur astrological compilation. At any rate, it was an amusing way to join in your birthday celebration.
