Written in the Stars

Zodiac Chart

For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the heavens. Between the gleaming cosmos and the expansive darkness, the night sky, in particular, has mystified humans since the beginning of time. The Greeks had a unique view of the stars. Believing in Zeus, the God of the sky and other Gods, the Greeks rationalized that each constellation was put there by Zeus for a particular reason, based on a fable. These constellations, which are fashioned in a Zodiac that changes with the passage of time yearly, are then related to people who are born in the life of a constellation. I, for example, was born in August, and therefore am a Leo.  

Cosmos

Nowadays, many magazines and websites earn money and page views by attributing characteristics of the fables of the signs and how they change in the sky. I, personally, have never been a big believer in these “horoscopes.” But recently, after learning a bit more about the cosmos myself through some classes, observation, and study of mythology and plenty reading of horoscopes, perhaps am on my way to becoming one. I suppose that the idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy is applicable here – or maybe, it’s just written in the stars.
