Love and Truth

I don’t care if your boyfriend’s coming back to you. Astrology could tell you. I could use astrology to tell you where and when. But I don’t care. And I’m tired of you asking about it.

This is the 21^st century. Haven’t you figured out yet that if you want love in your life, you have to become more loveable? If you want a happy, healthy and sane relationship, you have to become happy, healthy and sane. If you want a mate without baggage, put your duffel bag stuffed full of old hurts and angry emotionality down first.

Astrology is an A+, numero uno way to understand the truth about yourself. But as Jack Nicholson said in A Few Good Men, “You can’t handle the truth.” Handling the truth means you study astrology and look at your chart and say, “Could that be me?” Then what do you do? Do you believe it because it’s written in a book or a teacher speaks it in a class? No! You check it out. Ask a (good) friend. “This astrology book says Leo’s are bossy. Am I like that?” If your (good) friend says something gentle like, “Well, uh, you know, you do tend to like to have things your way,” you’ll know you’re in trouble.

One time I got a phone call from a woman who wanted a reading to find out if her married boyfriend would leave his wife for her. “What do your friends think of the situation?” I asked. You can guess the answer. Her friends had already told her she was an idiot. Doesn’t anyone read Ann Landers or Dear Abby anymore? It’s the same story over and over again. You don’t need an astrologer for this kind of question.

Here are some questions you should answer with astrology. What is the energy of [this aspect] [this planetary placement] [this transit] all about? What can I learn from it? What are the positive attributes of it? What are the negative attributes of it? And, most importantly, how can I use this information to improve my life?
