\n

For the first time in my life, I\u2019m interested in astrology. I was born on May 27, 1947, so that makes my zodiac sign Gemini. All my life I thought the horoscope section on the last page of the newspaper was some kind of swindle for gullible people seeking illumination. When I was dirt poor, I would daydream about what I would do with all the money that my horoscope occasionally assured me was coming. If not good fortune or money, the chief astrologer at least promised me a handsome suitor. Solitude weighed upon me so heavily at times that I forced myself to believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other morning, I couldn\u2019t help but become curious when my friends started discussing astrology. Suddenly, I want to know more about this Gemini woman that I am! I quiz Google and learn that \u201cthe Gemini woman is the queen of communication. Always smiling and attentive to others, she knows what to say at the right moment and infuses energy and a good mood.\u201d Admittedly this description seems like a good fit. Google continues: \u201cat work, the Gemini woman is an essential element who has a stabilizing effect, motivates staff and brings positive vibes.\u201d That also sounds like me! I think I was a fairly charismatic president who mastered the daily challenges of a large business. The description ends by saying that if I were a small animal, I\u2019d most likely be a busy bee, pollinating from flower to flower. Looking up words, typing on the keyboard each day, isn\u2019t that harvesting my famous Sunday letters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, I\u2019m back at the coffee shop with my friends and I ask everyone about their zodiac sign. Steven the retired cop is a Capricorn, Jean-Pierre and Claude are both Sagittarius, George the businessman is a Taurus, Denis is a Scorpio, Doris a Cancer, Bruce the accountant is a Libra and my dear friend \u00c9ric is an Aries. Late afternoon, I head to a bookstore and find a wonderful book on astrology. As soon as I get home, I read through a few pages and I\u2019m now a tad more knowledgeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learn in the opening of the book that \u201castrology isn\u2019t a religion or a belief. It\u2019s a system that is part astronomical, part psychological and part forecasting, but unlike many other forms of divination that have come and gone over the centuries, astrology retains its popularity, for the simple reason that it works.\u201d If it still works, it\u2019s certainly because there\u2019s something worthwhile knowing. But before I get too excited, I quiz Google again about the book\u2019s author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasha Fenton is a \u201cprofessional astrologer.\u201d She has already published six volumes on the subject and writes columns for many magazines and newspapers. She's a frequent guest on radio and television shows in the UK. She also hosts workshops and conferences at many astrology events around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is serious, and I\u2019ll try to be serious too, for my own sake and the sake of my good friends. We\u2019ll certainly poke fun at our quirks and brag about our innate strengths. Since we\u2019re all approximately 75 to 80, it\u2019s about time we learn more about the solar system and ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I\u2019ve always had the habit of looking up at the sky, imagining it empty, except when the clouds were heavy with moisture. Today, I\u2019m aware of everything that this white desert hides behind the clouds. I read the scholarly book, skipping the pages that are too difficult. I learn that my Gemini lunar sign is air. Ignorant of its meaning, I read on. The author explains that Gemini women typically climb the ladder of success and lead a life that many are envious of. Wow \u2013 something else that\u2019s spot on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final point I note is that \u201cGeminis show determination when the topic interests them; they will devote themselves to studying a subject in depth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don\u2019t I kill two birds with one stone?
First, with the help of a Sagittarius, I\u2019ll try to understand astrology better.
And second, I\u2019ll become closer with Claude, a former electricity teacher and bush pilot. I\u2019ve already noticed that we have many things in common: we share the same family values, we read the same books, we had the same number of children, we both love nature and are of the same age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would Sasha Fenton be available for an overseas consultation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
