Oh, Barb, Unfortunately, I'm not educated in the subject of Astrology. It seems, from reading your comment, that I've missed out on a heap of enjoyment by not understanding what the planets are doing.

I don't even follow the Horoscopes these days. What's going to happen will happen!!

Anyway, I enjoyed your post, Barb, which led me to read your WA profile. It is very interesting and inspiring.

Valerie

Thanks for the listen Valerie!!
I'm very used to folks not knowing, but your great post, reminded me of what I've been awaiting.
Last year...? No do-overs, but there's always tomorrow!
FYI...I don't hazard a prediction, but do believe the energy flow effects us all.
I use a horoscope for individual potentials, and talents for growth.
Bad times come as well as good, but each person is responsible for their responses. After years of charting ...I see patterns, particularly in family dynamics, which are difficult to say are just coincidence. I love a mystery!!
Barb

I agree with you, Barb. And I wish I had more knowledge of how life on planet earth is affected by activities in the atmosphere. I do believe that everything happens for a reason and those reasons are out of our control. Actually, I am very interested in nature and enjoy watching many of the programmes produced by David Attenborough.

Also, the various eclipse events I find interesting. More than thirty years ago, on a bright and sunny morning, I was driving my car when suddenly dark haze appeared everywhere. The blue sky could not be seen. The feeling was extremely weird. It was not long before the haze disappeared and the sunlight reappeared. Why I remember so clearly is that afternoon my daughter and son-in-law were to be married and fear of bad weather came over me for a while. No doubt, it would have been coincidence the eclipse happened on that day.

Coincidences are something that intrigues me more than they used to.

Nature is truly amazing and wonderful all within one enormous Globe!

Eclipses are very powerful!
Major one back 3 years, ago In August, Leo, was coupled with?? Don't remember especially, but Leo rules the Heart, and 4 friends had triple by-passes, within to weeks, and...Hurricane Harvey hit Houston!

I began studying health problems related to the signs, which I've found spot on! I've always been interested in the diseases of the mind, and sign Association. My students. All had emotionally problems, and yes...I did many a chart!!
My first book, was not a popular on, like we've seen of late. Cookbook style, but had all sorts of medical as well...However, dropsy, consumption, and other archaic names, was another study all together!!
The art of chart reading, is an intuitive process, in many ways. Carl Jung, Freud's student, studied astrology and came up this archetypes, that are still used today. It's really fascinating!
I've done all my family, and have seen the bazaar similarities.
My first, college speech was on Astrology, and I needed no notes, and could answer any question with relative ease. Needless to say, I aced that one! LOL
Ha-haa! I've almost written a blog, right here!!
Sorry to monopolize the conversation, but....You did well too!!
I was heading to bed, before I picked up my cell...Half hour later!! Love this place!
Later, Val!
Going to bed!
Catch you tomorrow!
Barb

I love this latest response from you, Barb. You are a very talented person.

I was interested you mentioned Leo. Leo was the name of my husband. He was a very kind man, rather set in his ways even at a young age, with a great determination. Unfortunately, it will be twenty years this coming October since he passed away.

Well, it will be good to catch up with you again, Barb. I see that it's about 3 hours since your last comment. I just got back to my computer in time to write this comment before logging off for the night.
And, I love this place, too.
Catch you again tomorrow.
Valerie

Morning, Valerie!
Where do you live...I was thinking New Zealand or Australia?... If my memory serves me.
You were blessed to have Leo. That great connection, for me...doesn't seem to be in the stars!! LOL
Talents are given, but do all folks use their unique talents, that make them true and authentic?... Most not! Too, bad!
Later, Valerie!
Barb

Thanks for your last message, Barb. My apologies for the delay in responding!

Yes, I do live in New Zealand. I lived in Auckland all my life until 4 years ago when I moved to a much smaller area on the West Coast of the North Island. Kapiti Coast is the name. It's very pleasant here and I no longer have the rush, hustle and bustle of a large city!

Today, as in right now, there is a technician laying fibre at my house. New Zealand has been far behind other countries with internet broadband. But, over the past two to three years, fibre has been installed in various regions. It's in Kapiti now and quite exciting that I can expect, within the next few hours, to have a 'Fast' Performing internet. How wonderful that will be, I trust!!

So, you and I, together with thousands of other industrious WA'ers have much to keep us busy, so I will not take your time.... for a while.

I have so much enjoyed our 'conversations' and will be following your posts with interest.

Valerie
