Planets

I’m fascinated by astrology. And the author who ignited this was Linda Goodman. Her storytelling skills were excellent, and I started to see the behavioral patterns she described for different zodiac signs.

The idea that the movement of planets light-years away can impact our lives fills us with wonder. And then, of course, the personalities given to planets.

Everybody likes Jupiter. No one likes the taskmaster Saturn. And Mercury is always the Great Troublemaker. Uranus throws a curve ball. Neptune puts us in a dreamy state.

What happens on a day they are aligned? Will the Grand Summit of Superpowers of the world come together to stop war? Or will they declare new wars on a hapless population somewhere?

I have always loved the drama connected with planets. I like to imagine I will be reborn on another planet. Alternatively, I might get a Galaxy Tour in a space vehicle in another lifetime.

Till then, someone has to continue telling stories.

  1. Telling stories helps us to pass earth time. I do believe there has to be life elsewhere. “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe” has the charactors visiting other places. It seems though humans always have to relate things to their perspective. Perhaps that is the only way at this time for ‘us’ to understand what we know and don’t know?

      1. There are human choices of belief. Most of them conflict anothers beliefs. Some are rationalized by science. Reading of the ancient Roman and Greek Gods one can see their characteristics passed to humaity. Hard for some to believe that a single being has so much power, when there are so many difficulties. Some rationalize that as giving humans the opportunity to use their skills for good. Others feel abandoned. Life is not a bowl of cherries.
