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.

My Zodiac Sign
I am a Capricorn. Element is earth. Ruler is Saturn. Honestly, I'm not really much into Zodiacs, but I do have some interest. There is an anime show I have watched that made zodiacs very interesting to me, called "Fairy Tale." I had watched the show in my younger years. If you have never seen or heard of it, I will sum it up for you. It's about wizards and magic, they survive by taking jobs to defeat evil. One of the main characters name is, Lucy. Lucy is a celestial wizard. She has keys to unlock a zodiac from the celestial world. They will appear in Lucy's world to aid her on her "job". Lucy isn't the only celestial wizard, so in the beginning, she only has a few keys. Then, eventually she gets the key to Capricorn as well as all twelve zodiac keys. Every Zodiac was very interesting in the show. So “Fairy Tale” made me more interested and curious about my zodiac. WAs my zodiac really a goat?

Will the Real Twin Please Stand Up?
You know to be quite honest, I personally am in love with being a Gemini. It's like I get the best of both worlds. No- Scratch that. ALL worlds. I mean there are several questionable moments in my life where I have been like: Damn, who am I today?! So let's just break this down, as complicated as it can get.

Born on the Day of the Dead
Being born a Scorpio, on the day of the dead, in one of the darkest month of the year, has led me to question the forces at play in this alignment. As if being a Scorpio was not dark enough in itself, I also carry the stigma of being born on ‘All Hallow’s Day’, a day to honour dead souls. Ghosts, intuition, and foresight are undoubtedly my greatest fascinations. My strange attachment to death surely finds its origin in the collective celebrations that coincides with the day of my birth. Vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifter are creatures that seduce the psyche of my inner Scorpio. I find my self drawn, seduced, by all mystic and enigmatic beings.

I am the archer
Optimistic. Intelligent. Freedom. Curious. Theses are just the many traits that my sign represents. I am a Sagittarius. Born on the 6th of December. Fire is my element. I am ruled by the planet Jupiter (which was my favorite planet as a kid). There is no starting point when talking about my sign and I can't imagine myself being born any other time of the year. In fact, I am so in love with my sign that I have it tattooed on my arm! Anytime I see something related to astrology I MUST read it and see what it says and whenever I do there are always some recurring traits and I'm going to list a few of them here.

To Be or Not To Be
I am a Cancer, Born July 17. Everyone knows the crab of the zodiac. Cancer traits are kindness, emotional intelligence, and yes crabby. But with that said we can be a bit insecure at times. Cancers are said to have a huge range of emotions going on inside, which can at times make them seem overly sentimental or moody; this is said to be due to our connection to the moon and its phases.

Shakespeare Was Right About The Stars. First Place in In the Stars Challenge. Top Story - March 2021.
My mom gave birth to me at 17 on 1st October 1998 at 2:38 AM. According to Astrosofa.com, this means I'm a zodiac sign Libra with a Leo Ascendant and a moon sign of Aquarius. I have no idea what any of this means.

Has NASA Changed My Star Sign?
In recent years there has been buzz over a new sign in the Zodiac, Ophiuchus, often referred to as a discovery by NASA. The constellation has actually been known about for thousands of years and cropped up in modern news after a NASA blog post about the ancient Babylonians and their creation of the Zodiac chart. The ancient people chose 12 signs to correspond with the months of the year and ignored a 13th, Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. So, have we been searching for a glimpse into our futures in the wrong place? What happens to the zodiac if Ophiuchus takes its place?

I'm Crabby
For as long as I can remember I have loved learning and discussing horoscopes. Any star sign really but especially my own.

Astrology: The Unexpected Revelation
Because my life consists of all things creative, whenever I think of astrology I’m always finding myself relating it to the TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender. Much like astrological signs, the personalities of each bender represent traits that come with each element. This is similar to Astrology in the sense that it places each person within a sign name and dictates what their personalities will entail.

Astrological Applications for Ameliorating Animosity
Whether or not you believe in astrology, there’s definitely something to be said for the utility of its central concept: that people are different, and that’s okay! It’s easy for us to assume that everyone thinks, feels, and processes information the same way we do, which leads to lots of conflict and hurt feelings. If we think everyone interprets our behavior the same way we intend it to be interpreted, or if we expect everyone else to be able to predict our feelings and reactions, we can find ourselves in deep conflict without a way out.

I'm a Sagittarius
I love astrology; in fact, I recommend it to people who I know are open-minded. That's the key, open-mindedness. My mother followed astrology; in fact, I can remember her clipping the horoscope for Taurus out of our daily newspaper and almost placing the fate of her day into this tiny article. My mom, like many other African American women of the time (early 1980's), believed horoscopes held power and insight. This was my indoctrination, so to speak, my entry into horoscopes and the whimsical nature of astrology.

Lessons and Lions - A breakdown of my Leo traits
Leos. The prideful, stubborn, "know it all" of the astrological signs. I supposed the same could be said for the Taurus, except his gentle nature is likely more of a catalyst for balanced decision-making skills. Something I have been truly lacking in. At least for the first few decades of my life. Astrology has always been an interest of mine. However, if I said I was a study of the stars I would be lying. Honestly, horoscopes give me a bit of the "heeby jeebies". While I believe in the properties and characteristics I am just not a fan of seeing into my future. My anxiety allows me to haphazardly predict that enough as it is.
