Astrology-what it is, how it works and affects you.

Greetings, everyone. Here is an interesting article I came across called Astrology and your future - by psychic advice in astrology. For those of you not familar with astrology, here is some helpful info for you.


Is it possible to chart our course through life by monitoring the heavens? Astrology is the study of the relationship between planetary motion and life here on earth. Some people believe so deeply in this pseudo science that they consult the advice of astrologers before making any critical decisions in their life. In this article, we’ll explore the mystery of how the planets and stars impact the future.


Astrology is a group of systems, traditions and beliefs by which astrologers acquire information about a person’s personality, strengths and weaknesses. The zodiac is the belt or band of constellations through which the sun, moon and planets transit across the sky. Astrologers noted these constellations and so attached a particular significance to them. The main traditions used by modern astrologers are Western, Chinese and Indian astrology. Indian and Western versions use an astrological chart or horoscope for an event based on the position of the sun, moon and planets at the moment of the event. Indian astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, linking the signs of the zodiac to their original constellations, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac.
Practitioners of astrology believe that the positions of the planets affect nearly every aspect of a person’s life. Each planet is associated with a sign and a different energy in life. It assigns meaning to each unique time so that we can understand its special significance in our lives and act accordingly. It presumes that a meaningful link exists between exactly when someone is born and the qualities inherent to his personality. Astrologers study our birth charts to gain insight into our potential gifts, challenges, opportunities, internal conflicts and difficult lessons. By using astrology, we can learn more about ourselves and what we may expect during particular periods of time, so we’re able to behave more consciously and increase our likelihood of achieving personal satisfaction.


Astrologers gauge timing based on knowledge of how planets act when traveling through the different zodiac signs. This is from where the idea that astrologers can predict the future is derived. The term zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations along the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun across the heavens through the constellations that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. The zodiac is the first known celestial coordinate system. The sign that a person is born under in believed to determine their personality traits. For instance, people born under the astrological sign of Scorpio are believed to be forceful, intuitive and passionate while someone who is a Pisces is supposed to be sensitive, kind and unworldly.


Astrology is not meant to predict the future. Instead, individuals are supposed to use the information provided by the heavens to make good decisions about their life. The outcome of one’s fate is still a matter of personal choice. While astrology may seem implausible to some people, others truly believe that their destiny is written in the stars.


I hope this helps explain a few things about astrology. There are quite a few reputable advisors on KEEN and elsewhere who work with and do astrology charts, if you are interested. Brightest blessings.

Mary, Jim and Lucky. What a story.

Mary and her husband, Jim, had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.

It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease....in fact; she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.mThe double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.He had covered her with his love.

Mary forgot about dying. Instead, she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God and never forget the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us. If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Brightest blessings to all.

Remember the people serving our country.

To all the brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives who are away on duty, I pray you are and stay safe and healthy and that you come home soon to your families. Thank you for all you jeopardize, see and endure. You are missed and appreciated. I would like to take the time to personally thank each and every one of you for what you are doing for all of us. I received this cute little video from a friend of mine, which I decided to post for others to view. To view it, please click here

Please remember to take a few minutes out of your day, this weekend, to look above and say a thank you or a prayer for these people deployed. Whether you agree with it or not, they are there for a reason so show your gratitude.

Just a reminder - you are special.

Blessed be to all........Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200 guests, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special and don't EVER forget it." Remember, you may never know the lives you touch, the hurting hearts you speak to, or the hope that it can bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.

Isn't that the truth.....Blessings to all.

I know, I didn't have a $20 so I used what I had-lol.
