Why I Love Astrology

Oh, you're that sign? Interesting

Why I Love Astrology
Poddar Astrology

There are two kinds of people: the people who like astrology and those who think astrology is bull. If you’re one of those people who thinks astrology is nonsense, fine. I’m sorry you are boring and have no imagination, and I’m sorry you have no fun. If anyone knows me, they know that I am a big fan of astrology. I verbally express it and wear my taurus symbol as much as i can. I find this topic so fascinating because its interesting to see how the exact time you were born affects your personality or life. Many people find it stupid, but I find it incredible how everything is written in the stars.

I was born on the 16th of May, and am identified as a classic Taurus. They're stubborn, very sensual, and the most loyal people you will ever meet. Tauren are also careful, patient, and materialistic. On a darker note, Taurus' can be stubborn, insensitive, self-indulgent, and did I mention stubborn? (check, check, and double check). We don't get along with Libras -- which I think explains why I legitimately have no Libra friends. Taurus is an earth sign, and I tend to get along with more of the earthy signs like Virgo and Capricorn.

When my friends and I analyze people based on their zodiac signs, people shrug their shoulders and judge our nerdy conversations. But for me, astrology helps me identify and appreciate the unique qualities of the people I know. It helps me make sense of people in a way. I don’t find it coincidental that in my life I am surrounded by Pisces, or that I tend to be attracted to Aries -- they are definitely hot heads, and being a stubborn Taurus, I love the challenge they give me. Most Leos are sexual as hell, and Capricorns are the most hardworking people know, and I just can’t get a handle at all on Aquarians or Libras. Regardless, I always find it helpful to know someone’s sign.

I’ve never been the most rational of people and, honestly, I wouldn’t want to be. It’s much more interesting for me see the world as a place with the ambiguity of magic and mystery. People like astrology because it’s fun, it’s an explanation for every day life, and it makes people feel in touch with forces larger than they could even imagine. You know, like stars, planets and cosmos!

Ever since I was little, I loved space, and learning the planets. Remember the acronym? My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos (or Nine Pizzas, because I'm still in denial about Pluto). But, anyway, I loved space and not fully knowing what's out there. And astrology connects the two "worlds" together; it gives me a realization to why essentially people are different.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
