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.

In The Stars Challenge
It’s no longer a quirky question. Astrology is officially become mainstream, and checking astrology apps has become part of our morning routines. It only makes sense to wonder: what’s the deal with this cosmic art? What can we learn from connecting to the cosmos and understanding our birth charts? If you’re feeling astro-curious, I’m going to break down some of the basics.

November 21, Scorpio
According to my star sign as determined by my natal chart: Scorpios are known for their intensity. They are determined folk that absolutely throw themselves into whatever they do -- but getting them to commit to something is rarely an easy task. In fact, it's better not to even try to "get them" to do anything. Solar Scorpios absolutely have their own mind. Their primary motivation is unlikely to be prestige or even authority -- it's real power. Their power can absolutely be of the "behind the scenes" variety, just as long as they have it.

VIRGO OR LIBRA?
There is no clear divide when you are born on the cusp of two star signs. My birthdate is the twenty-second of September and depending on where you read, I am either a Virgo, a Libra or a Late Virgo with Libra traits. It doesn’t sound like the simplest way of identifying who I am as a person, and growing up, whenever anyone asked, I would say ‘Virgo’ but when you really get down to the individual traits or persona of myself, you start to wonder.

Life As A Capricorn
For as long as I have known what a Capricorn was, I have been condemned for being one. It's been used as an insult by most, "Oh, of course you're stubborn, you're a Capricorn." Rarely has it ever been seen as something good. Capricorns are known as hard-headed, stubborn, work obsessed control freaks... and to those who don't understand us, I guess it could come off that way.

A Pisces at Heart
POSITIVE TRAITS: Some positive traits of the Pisces zodiac are; Empathetic, Artistic, Selfless, and Emotional. All of these apply to me. My artistry comes out majority of the time in my writing. Something I am going to school for Creative Writing. I've loved writing since about 2014, and have gotten better as time passed. I even finished my first novel.

ARIES
Does it fit Would you dare to listen if I told you a zodiac sign can tell you personality traits of who you are? I know myself like knowing the back of my hand. I know that I am an Aries, the Aries symbolize the ram also standing for “every person for themselves.” The hardheaded overpowering Aries that I am, the person that follows a chart as some say from the internet. But why does the description's fit me so well? It is weird to think of it all, how and why? How many times have you been asked what your sign is? Most of us have looked up what are zodiac sign means? These signs can be exactly exact at times and can be very strange when reading something that fits you. Aries follow this description, the Aries of March 21-April 19th. And Knowing yourself and your own sign lets you know more about yourself and why you might be the way you are. And you sign can tell you more about yourself. We all look for answers on why some of us can be hardheaded or some of us not at all, why the personalities of yourself have anything to do with the zodiac sign. And how is it possible for a zodiac sign to tell us who we are. I have been seen to be a strong minded driven by power to always prove myself to others. And having my own way on how I see things and how to take control of situations. Always wanting to lead headfirst and be the leader in the group, but sometimes things get in the way or I do. Always being direct and assertive having a taste of always wanting to do more than one thing and trying new things. Involving myself in more and different activities to keep myself busy. Sometimes keeping myself busy though has caused me to have frequent headaches. According to books and websites it is also a connection as well. I have noticed over the years that I am a highly creative person and according to my zodiac sign I have seen that the description that they give you fits me very well. I am as you say very independent, ever since I was a kid I have been. This little girl with a big voice who always had something to say and having no filter. which sometimes had gotten me in trouble. Having my own opinion for everything. Our personalities tend to be very magnetic, and a lot of people see us as a friend of trust and someone who is always loyal to you. When it comes to family and friends, we put them first but if it were to ever come to having to defend ourselves. We will, or if someone is being attacked, we will defend them as well.

A lone Sagittarius amongst the stars
I believe it was written in the stars or as my favorite quote from my weekly tarot reading a dozen or so years ago read "A champion of truth, peace and justice- they always find their true vocation in the service of those who suffer”, of course, as you guessed, “they” refers to me and my fellow Sagittarius!! Of course, whether that quote has anything to do with how we are, this intuitive art form of Tarot Reading was so deeply connected to my zodiac sign that morning that something about it lured me in on a quest to find more out about myself and my arched-arrow-holding half-man half-horse centaur.

I Am Who I Am
When I was younger, Astrology was always an interest of mine, one that I kept in the back of my mind and would look into only every so often. Growing up, I was always considered a Taurus, strong willed and bull-headed. But I always had another side, softer and kind-hearted. As I grew up, each chart saying I was a Taurus was changing, telling me I was a Gemini. I was so confused and honestly annoyed by this, even when I was younger, Gemini weren’t well liked, people called them two-faced and cruel. It made me question who I really was.

Aries Rock!
Monday, March 23, my born day. 4 pounds 12 ounces. Born to C. and G. There is a reason behind why I am using my parents' first initials, but that is not for me to discuss now, or probably ever.

Is It Written In The Stars?
Let me begin by stating that I was born on August 8th which makes me a very solid Leo by all standards. Growing up, this was a most inconvenient birthday since it was never during the school semesters and thus I could not have one of those fun class parties where my mom would get everyone cupcakes or something. It was in the summer though and usually fell near a weekend which meant parties with family and friends were possible and plentiful.

I was born on a frigid morning at the beginning of January and until the day she died, my mother never let me forget three important things:

The stars have aligned to make me....me!
My first experience with zodiac signs has to have been reading Seventeen magazine while drinking cherry and coke mixed Slurpee’s at the local 7-11. I remember standing near the cashier flipping straight to the back, fingers crossed that this would be the month that Billy would notice me. Spoiler alert…he never noticed me! But I went faithfully to confirm that was going to be the month that all my dreams would come true. It never really pin-pointed when all my dreams would come true…. but I am sure that at one point it must have said something to that effect. Right?
