The western astrological chart has been around since at least 2000 years BC and continues to fascinate many, while it is wholly disregarded by others. “One of the few remaining philosophies to maintain a holistic perspective, astrology teaches us that everything is interconnected.” says The Power of Birthdays, Stars and Numbers. “No person stands alone, for all people are part of shifting and dynamic relationships with other people, and each of these people is involved in shifting and dynamic relationships with the cycles of the cosmos.”
Well, as one of my favorite speakers, Tony Robbins, says: “Nothing has any meaning except the meaning I give it.” So, if that is what you glean from your zodiac sign or horoscope, super.
I’ve often wondered how the 12 signs ended up decorating the lower part of the Indianapolis Central Library’s (original) front facade, designed by Paul Philippe Cret, but I would like to think it has something to do with how connected we all are.
For fun, let’s look at the archetypes and roles associated with each sign. Which are you and does it represent you at all? Or does the description of another sign resonate more? (again, from  The Power of Birthdays, Stars and Numbers by Saffi Crawford and Geraldine Sullivan)
