I didn’t give much thought to astrology until recently. When I read ‘Sun Signs’ by Linda Goodman, I was surprised that her words about Taurians were matching my personality to a large extent – except for one or two, all her descriptions, which went on for couple of pages, were true, including what I like to read – history and philosophy. That is when I got interested in astrology.

Thereafter I did a casual read of astrology predictions whenever I came across them, just with curiosity. Almost always, I forgot them once I kept the magazine down. However in the beginning of this year, I read about this year’s predictions and was discussing with a, then, colleague. For me it said, I would be interested in spiritual matters. Interpreting that as becoming religious, I was laughing with her, because it seemed a distant interest; though I’ve read almost all the known spiritual gurus from Jesus to Osho, I was not pursuing spiritual matters with any particular concern. Another one of prediction was that I’d have a whole new set of friends – that coincided with my decision to make new friends. For her, the stars dictated, a romance of her friend’s envy!

With just fifth month, almost, getting over, I am simply amazed how those predictions have come true. Indeed, I’m making new friends and believe me, I’m meditating on spiritual matters, more and more everyday. Hang on, I am not becoming any religious – not going to regular mass or temple service. However, I’m pondering over ‘deeper’ things of life! It may have to do something with those repeated failures that I went through in the past couple of years; yet this change didn’t happen in previous years! Every time, I make a new contact or absorbed deep in meditation, I realize that the stars said it so for this year.

And for her? It is true too. She is happily married to her long time lover and having a well-settled life.
