Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

Horrorscopes

Very recently, there has been much talk about the insertion of the new horoscope sign Ophiuchus. And, while this new sign broadens the scope of daily and monthly predictions of fortune and trouble, it also signifies something of importance. You see, Ophiuchus didn't just waft onto the Ecliptic line of Zodiac signs, it has been there for a very long time. However, because of what we are used to the sign has been largely neglected by horoscope readers.

(So, you mean to tell me that I am not an Aries? Damn it! Now I won't win the lottery)

But, were these predictions something to live by in the first place? Can a piece of paper tell you who you are and what you should do. To some, the notion of zodiac predictions was a farce from the start, but for many others it was a sign for hope or guidance. Sadly, like those who claim the future is written on a deck of cards, it is indeed an illusion. And while I personally know that there is much more to existence than what we can detect or know, it is too easy to rely on someone else to predict your future. This is another form of security that keeps you stuck and prevents you from exploring the unknown. No one can tell you your future, and if they could your future will have changed in that instant. Life is what you make it. Don't wait for next weeks predictions to give you further instructions.
