Linda’s Story

I was always fascinated with astrology many years ago as a child. When I was in my twenties, I had an older male co-worker of mine who just happened to be an astrology guru. He ran my birth chart, and to my surprise, he told me that one day I would become a natural communicator. Honestly, I thought he was “nuts” because at that time I was what I now call the typical shy Pisces, whose personality was more inward than outward.

So I asked the question. How could this be, that me, who hated being the center of anything, be comfortable speaking in front of others? What my friend was talking about was the strong Gemini aspects in my birth chart which represents the sign of communication. It turns out that in my chart, communication was where my greatest blessings in life were supposed to happen.

After I learned this about myself, I guess you could say I was hooked, and the rest is history. I am now the communicator that my friend always used to tell me I would be.

For over thirty years since that first astrological chart, I have studied and used astrology to consult and interpret the birth charts of many eager souls looking for guidance with their life problems.
