The Love that moves the sun and the other stars

Share

I believe in numerology, astrology and the geometry/patterns that piece us all together in the universe. I do have some doubts about daily horoscope predictions like “you’ll likely meet the love of your life today” or “you’ll find some money in the boxers you wore in high school today” but I believe the general projection of the character traits and ideals(or lack of) of people born in certain periods of time. For instance it can’t be a coincidence that many of the Pisces I know love swimming and have an apt musical taste but tend to be quite fearful. Further down the line, a deep attachment to their mothers and homebodiness seems to prevail amongst many cancers I know.

The great thing about astrology is it shows you your personality strengths for you to build upon and your weaknesses for you to work on. Knowing one’s life path number is another key way of knowing your strengths and using them to serve your purpose on earth.

Despite getting some bad rap, I do feel astrology and the likes are gifts from God to help us learn more about ourselves and the universe. Even the three wise men had to be guided by a star to find Jesus…

According to astrology Gemini meshes best with fellow air signs, as well as energetic fire signs that share their vitality and zest for life.. For instance Geminis tend to be more compatible with other Geminis, Aquarians, Libras and Arians. Quite true. I recall once being in love with another Gemini years ago. even if it was a long distance relationship (she was on a different continent) it was more fulfilling, joyful and fun than the interactions i had with everyone I could see physically at the time . Geminis have amazing minds and two amazing minds coming together is enchanting. But even the stars can’t save an enchanting relationship that deviates from its original purpose and truth.

Admittedly, I have twisted my adherence to astrology in the past. When certain relationships didn’t pull through, it was easier for me to cite astrology as i pulled out. Well, I’d say, “Gemini and Capricorn are incompatible according to astrology anyway”. Of course i failed to acknowledge that Love is the greatest force in the universe. Strong enough to realign the stars and make every theory, law and rule crumble. Astrology is credible but it only affects you to the degree of power with which you bestow it. In the end patience, kindness and hardwork which are hallmarks of Love conquer all things.

There are other signs that are not so compatible with Gemini according to astrology(Pisces,Virgo Scorpio,Taurus). it’ll be foolhardy to avoid getting intimate with people of these signs due to “the fault in our stars” because every zodiac sign is filled with the most amazing people. compatibility is not everything, i’m learning that what makes any relationship work is not how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility and this is the mindset that one needs to climb the stairs towards “The Love that moves the sun and the other stars” as the Italian poet, Dante Aligheri put it.
