After my 24th birthday was feeling an anxiety, not in fear of getting older, but a realization that I needed to get reaquainted with myself. I'm not the same person that I was when I turned 21 and at 21 I wasn't the same person that I was when I was 16. My interests are similar but my goals are different. At 24 I feel that I have a better idea of what kind of adult I want to be and what I would like to accomplish... but there were certain aspects of myself I still didn't/don't realy understand nor did I have the words to discribe what I was feeling or thinking in my head. 2 days after my 24th Bday which is on the 20th of April, I scheduled an astrological chart reading with my cousin Elizabeth Travelslight. We met in her cozy San Francisco appartment and over herbal refreshments and left over birthday cake, she drew up my chart based on the time day and location of my birth. She explained to me what the symbols ment on my chart and what that could mean for me and for others around me. She also explained that what the chart says doen't mean that it's all true, everyone is given free will and the ablity to change their course if they don't like where they are going. But, what she told me gave me the language and some insite into myself. My Sun Sign Aries/Taurus cusp with a Gemini rising sign. Elizabeth explained to me that looking into the other elements of my astrological make up could assist me in meditation towards growing and understanding myself as an individual.

As for the gemini rising... I have to admit my gut reaction was, "NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!" but upon further thought and consideration I've come to realize that my rejection of gemini's was due to my strong dislike for an individual that has that astrological sun sign and I didn't really respect them as a person but maybe the problem was that I had those same traits with in myself . For my cousins ( Mr. Chucky is YOU LOL) Any how I strongly encourage individuals to explore their astrology, it's a wonderful tool for self knowledge.
