STARS

In case you haven't heard, and it has been all over the news, the astrology signs have changed!  Really?  I have spent the last 40 years analyzing my sign as it relates to me.  Apparently this change has something to do with the Earth's position in relation to the Sun.  But do not panic ~ whether or not you need to reinvent yourself based on a new sign depends on whether you follow Western astrology or Eastern astrology ~ who knew?

It appears that Western astrology is based on the seasons (and they have not changed) vs. Eastern astrology which is based on constellations.  If you follow the Eastern version, then start learning your new sign AND be prepared becasue there is a 13th sign known as Ophiuchus.  Craziness! 

I have always been a follower of my sign ~ astrological Cancer ~ a tough sign in my opinion.  Cancer is a mysterious sign, filled with contradictions.  In just our two families, we have a total of five astrological cancers, yikes!  me&t (that's right, both of us!), Matthew, Grace and William. 

But here is my "new" thing ... birthday-ology (not sure if that is even a word).  This is where you drill down to personality traits based on your date of birth.  Fascinating!  A co-worker introduced me to this and a wonderful, huge book that she owns.  Then, I came across a pocket sized book at one of our favorite stores ~ Anthropologie.  This book provides much less detail but is useful none-the-less.  Here you go sister:

You are quick and have a good, clear-thinking mind, although you are sometimes unintentionally brusque in your speech.  You have strong determination and the conviction of your ideas.  You make friends and hold them.  The love you will compel will be strong and steadfast.

You are blessed with unlimited ability.  You would find success in anything you undertook if you applied all your efforts faithfully.  You are upright and have fastidious tastes and sound judgment; you are dependable and loving and enjoy and seek a harmonious life with pleasant surroundings.

So, I periodically refer to this book  and refresh on the details about Mike and the kids of course.  It certainly helps me to understand where they are coming from.  Puts things in perspective (which I love).  Husband thinks I am crazy!!!  What do you think?

Why does the title have to include the words
"Fortune-Telling"?
