Zodiac

Zodiac, Maniac,
both “acs” – but little else
in common.  Stars oblivious
to man’s attention -- 

A universe responds only 
to Divine intervention?!

Though mystics say
we are linked, all reality
representative of man’s will

his spiritual flow -- 

I say, perhaps in a deeply intimate
way – more likely, more our own 
imagined~ local Light show?

I'm not a 'zodiac' believe, although sometimes it fascinates me.

Mostly just for fun; the science involved is immaterial. No profound significance. Thank you, Sara.

I find astrology and study of constellations and gems quite fascinating. Altho I dont believe in it entirely and it is against alot of religions to believe in it ~ its fun to see characteristic traits of various zodiac signs. I am a capricorn ~ and i do see alot of capricorn traits in me! This is such a deep and thought provoking poem on a subject that is so very unique dear Joe, And I agree with what youv said to Andrea below ~ beautifully writtenx Pleasure always reading yu, sending you light

Like yourself, Empress; I have found no personal need to go to stars nor gems for inspiration (may work best for others, not for me to say) -- I have found that I can reach God directly, through bloodline -- divine spirit manifests consciously in man's blood. In Truth, our Creator is source and substance of all being. both animate and seeming inanimate. Thank you, my friend, for carefully considering this work. Gives me confidence to write more on this theme.

I saw below here that you are Taurus. It's one of my favorite signs. I have lots of friends that are Taurus and I think I get along with them so well became I am earth sign Virgo with several other signs of "dirt" in my chart! In heaven we will retain our personalities but live in perfect harmony. Something wonderful to look forward to.

Again, as I often state, only my opinion. Not trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking. Just seems natural and healthy for people to communicate with one another about who one imagines self to be, and how one feels about life and relationships in general. As I see it. I know nothing.

:)) Dirt are good people. I kid a bit, but do believe how the stars align when one is born, time of day, season all affect the physical and its thoughts, how creations think and perform throughout manifest existence. Developing new attitude can adjust, thus correct some negatives if any, that is the good news I have found. But while in a physical body, there will always be limitations to personal freedom. What I strive for: The Christian Mystic does not seek lessening or loss of individuality in some greater cosmic unity (Nirvana) but the exact opposite, total realization of individuality. Total consciousness. Heightened awake. Never a sense of lessening of ego (to the contrary, a purification of ego). Christ is the greatest Mystic.

Yes, there is nothing in common with zodiac and maniac. By the way my zodiac sign is Gemini. I don't know what are the peculiarities of that sign. I know l am loving and compassionate and to some extent, over sensitive.

Very caring and respectful of others, as are most of humanity. Unfortunately, trouble makers up till now have had the louder presence. To me, judging by your sensitive, feeling poetry, you are of God's loving Sign. I need know no more.

I guessed you were a Leo a long time ago, just judging by your sensitive writing. I am a Taurus, Dirt sign:))
