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.

Let's Get Astro-Logical
I share my star sign with both Charles Manson and Hilary Clinton, what on earth does that say about me? I’m a Scorpio, of course, which means I am stubborn, deeply emotional (under the surface) and passionate. I can nurse a grudge for decades, I am secretive and hard to get to know, I am intense. I am a water sign which makes sense; I can spend hours in the bath and the sea air calms me. I am assertive and likely to be a leader in my field- wait a second… We’ve hit a dead end here. My own mother emails me links to courses with titles like “How to be more assertive” and in all my years on this planet, I have never been “manager material”. I thought this stuff was supposed to be accurate?

It's all a bit fishy...
Albert Einstein, Rupert Murdoch, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Steve Irwin, Steve Jobs, Drew Barrymore. What do I have in common with all of these people? We were all born between 20 February and 20 March. Other than that at first glance, I would say absolutely nothing! In most of those examples, their creativity and ambition far exceeds mine. In some, their intelligence far exceeds mine. They have all excelled in their chosen field whereas I have chosen to excel in an actual field where wellies are my normal daily attire. When was Rihanna last snapped in a sexy ensemble involving that kind of rubber?

Grabbing Life by the Horns
Wanna take a walk on the wild side? Think you can handle the fire without getting burnt? Well if so an Aries is whom you’ve been waiting for. Courageous, generous, honest, head strong, and optimistic; Aries are meant to forge the road for those to follow. We are natural born leaders; I mean why else do you think we’re the first sign of the zodiac. We believe in high risk for high reward, and love diving head first into all types of challenges. However, don’t expect a detailed plan on how we plan on conquering the world, because we don’t have one. Instead we use our spontaneous nature to make the best decision in the moment. Consequences? HA! Don’t make us laugh, minor setbacks that allow us to use our intuitive problem solving skills.

Pisces: Dreaming of Reality
When thinking about the parts of my personality that haven’t come from my parents or my experiences; looking at my astrological sign seemed like an interesting place to start. Each sign has certain distinct characteristics that make them special. Looking at the traits of a Pisces was a good way to find out where some of my idiosyncrasies originated. I was really surprised just how Piscean I am.

Leo's Are Neato
Ever since I was a kid, I knew what I wanted to do. At first, as a youngster, my thoughts were "I want to be an Archaeologist!!" since I loved Dinosaurs so much. Then a few years later, I discovered a much more distinct, internal desire. We had just gotten cable, with Nickelodeon and Comedy Central. I decided right then, "I want to be a Comedian!!"

I'm Such A Sagittarius
According to my natal chart, I'm a Sagittarius Sun, Aries ascendant, Leo moon, making me a triple fire sign. That is a lot of heat for one chart. Luckily, I have other aspects that quell some of that fire, otherwise I would be a bit much. Every sign has a ruling planet, Jupiter reigns over Sagittarius. This combination is a match made in heaven. Jupiter is all about expansion, with a focus on personal growth, optimism, and new things. The Archer's (Sagittarius) innate yearning for adventure and experience is well-served by Jupiter's influence . The Archer comes from Greek mythology, where Sagittarius is depicted as a centaur. This half human and half man wielding a bow and arrow aimed towards the sky. Creating the unique magic of the Archer, which is both earthbound and otherworldly.

Proud to be a Leo
I was born a Leo. My mom heavily believed, and still does, in astrology and all things mystical. Our family computer had multiple sites dedicated to star signs saved under favorites. Checking my horoscope and learning about the traits of a Leo became part of my daily routine. Following in my mom’s footsteps; I wanted to know everything there was to know about astrology. Looking back, I had no idea how difficult that venture would prove to be.

Cancer Rising
I remember my mom scolding me for kissing my favorite bus driver on the cheek. Even then, she knew the love I had to give knew no bounds, so she went out of her way to try to protect me.

There are many difference aspects of the zodiac sign Cancer. While I can relate to quite a few, there are also some that I cannot relate to.

Is It Really All 'Written In The Stars'?
Soon a baby will be born in my family. And, believe it or not, the first question asked was about when the child would be born, and the second was the mention of their astrological sign.

The Misunderstood Zodiac Signs
Horoscope articles based on your Sun sign in newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet are usually misleading and make you think astrology is wrong. But when it comes to the interpretation of your birth sign and other astrological factors, it can make a little more sense.
