16. I did a paper in my American Studies class on Astrology back when I was in 8th grade!

My teacher got a kick out of it... and even told me he learned quite a bit from it! I've been into it ever since. I'm in no way an astrologer, but you do this long enough you can read the energies. My biggest disappointment... and it was just my total naivety on display... was I thought when we finally crossed over into the age of Aquarius the progressive, nurturing, caring people of the world would take over the governments and things would be better all the way around for everyone. Like I said... total naivety. I'm an Aquarian... we're the Great Humanitarians, you know. But even I know it's played out on a global scale, not a personal one... which is why in my younger days people often described me as aloof, altho I was really anything but that.

What I find really interesting is a few of the tarot readers I follow, as well as reading my own Thoth deck, tracks with what's happening in the skies almost to a "T". It's scary as hell. Right now, I'm hanging on 'til my birthday... Feb 4th. By then everybody should be settled into the elements they'll occupy for this current generation. And I love the fact that the Tower card keeps creeping closer and closer to trump's personal card. Add to that he's surrounded by the suit of Swords and the Death card, and it gives one pause to hope! I'm ready for at least some of this anxiety I feel to dissipate!
