Do you believe in astrology?

If 'believe' means that the stars rule us,

no matter what we do;

Then no, I don't believe that.

But I'm always interested to look into

the collected wisdom of generations,

confident of finding

some useful 'intel' 

therein.

Few useless things

hang around for very long.

(No mother-in-law jokes here please!)

In fact,

learning a bit about lunar

(Chinese) astrology

has been helpful

if only

in reminding me

that we live amidst a constellation

of ever shifting influences,

wherever they come from.

It has been helpful by

reminding me that:

while we may feel a certain way

right now-

it is never a permanent condition.

To often we think of ourselves as "fixed'

in who we are;

But we are actually becoming

every minute.

As long as there is life,

there is choice.

And fixed thinking

does not well serve us

     on our merry way. . .

Tomorrow we will look at things

with new and different eyes.

Thank you for sharing my lazy spirals!
