Do You Believe In The Stars?

Are the heavens really able to tell our futures?

Up until a few months ago, I never really thought about it. I would check the Sunday paper and read my daily horoscope for kicks but that was about it. I'd go about my day and forget what I read 10 minutes before.

After my ectopic last year, and especially after the surgery, I was looking for any answer I could find.

Why did this happen?
Why did God allow me to get pregnant only to take it away?

Not only was I looking for answers to "Why", I was also looking for answers to the future. Would I ever get pregnant again? And, more importantly, when?

So, I started looking at my horoscopes in more detail. I would look at the whole month or year in review. I found two that I thought seemed more "credible" than others and found some pretty cool stuff.

But, before I divulge these spectacular revelations, I have one disclaimer.

I AM NOT A WHACK JOB!

I am usually a very cynical and distrusting person. After all, I am an Aries. I know, that explains alot, doesn't it?

OK, be ready to be amazed...

One site specifically mentioned I would have a major health event in October, 2007. Yeah, I think I pretty much got that one covered.

Both sites hinted at the following:

* A major career advancement would occur in June or July. I got a promotion.

* I would join some sort of networking or social group. At the time, I thought "What the hell does that mean?". Now, I know. It's you guys. I never had any intention of starting a blog until I stumbled on Wendy's in May and now I have the best support group anyone could ask for.

* Both sites also specifically mentioned that if I wanted to get pregnant, August would be the month. I guess it's convenient that we're doing a FET cycle, huh?

* One of the sites warned me about the health of my ankles this month. I might be stretching this but I did almost break my ankle on Sunday. We were doing some major pruning on a tree out front and I backed up and almost fell down the front stairs. I slightly twisted my ankle.

Perhaps it would have been useful had the horoscope told me when I'd get some physical coordination?

So, there you have it. Predictions or coincidence?

I think that horoscopes are always interesting to read. Btw, I like the idea of you getting pg in August. :-)

It was the stars the Magi read to predict the time and place of the birth of Jesus and that he'd be a 'king'--which Herod mistakenly thought Jesus was going to rule Judea and thus wanted him dead.
So yes, the stars can be read to predict one's future.
Personally, I don't know of anyone now who has done this with great accuracy--each person has their own star--but that doesn't mean it cannot be done.
I am so praying that you are right though.
I tend to believe there are no coincidences. Things happen for a reason.
I found your site as well as the others in late May--and I cannot tell you what a blessing they have been.
So thank you, Best Wishes and God Bless.

I hope the stars are right for you, too.

You are such a great support, too. I'm glad that we're all here for each other.
