Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Open Mindedness Sessions Using Astrology

By Kevin Foster


I take into account myself rational, logical, and aware sufficient to know as soon as I'm falling short of these golden posts. I am admittedly a smaller cynical about tarot card readings and clairvoyance (although I do consider you can find men and women accessible with strange abilities), and I wouldn't pay somebody to throw runes for me, yet, I believe astrology is worth a look.

I wont tell you that it is because it's 'scientific', but I'll assert that it is at least a tiny measurable, which approaches it truly is tested.

Firstly, I must establish what astrology is, and isn't (and as a result what I am defending). What it is: It is (in natal chart reading) the interpretation (and interpretations are relatively set, not open to individual interpretation) in the planets as they were at the time of the people birth, and for that reason how that person's personality (potential) is mapped out. It's also the interpretation (again, fairly set) from the constant movement from the planets, and how they 'trigger' parts of the person's natal chart, so therefore what influences will probably be manifesting for that person on that day / month / year.

It isn't the horoscope section from the local paper, or girly magazine.

The reason I began to find out astrology was basically that I couldn't think you could divide the entire populus with the globe into 12 'categories'. The very first point I learned was that you simply couldn't. You have likely heard folks say 'oh but my father is a Leo, and he's Practically nothing like my son, who can also be a Leo' (read: therefore, based on this 'evidence', astrology is not 'true'. To this, I bring out 5 natal charts of Leos that I have, and it is immediately clear that apart from the sun sign (Leo), the charts are all totally different.

Natal charts are multi-faceted / layered concepts. The first layer may be the signs all of the planets which rule various kinds of the personality) are in. In turn, every of these planets is thrown like die into some, many, or all of the 'houses' inside a person's chart. Each house 'rules' specific areas of life; a concentration of planets in one shows the exact same in life: lots of exercising or focus on that area of life. Then you have the relationship in between the planets, that's decided by the sign they fall into. This will show you internal harmony or conflict, and external harmony and conflict.

Next comes the interpretation in the relationships by the astrologer. As mentioned above, you'll find reasonably hard and fast rules for every possible relationship. For example, a Moon (emotional nature) in Scorpio (intensity, passion, obsession) squaring (90 degrees difference in between 2 planets, an internal conflict) a Venus (love nature, expression of beauty) in Aquarius (freedom seeking, independent, anti-establishment) will probably be interpreted like a conflict between emotional needs and love needs. This may well manifest as an individual getting attracted to a person with Aquarian traits, but very emotionally needing an individual who will bond with them on a deepest level feasible (Scorpio). So you get a freedom junkie, due to the fact which is what you happen to be attracted to, but you luck out in the emotional department, because that person needs much more freedom than your obsessive emotional nature can give.
