Conversation With A Classmate From Decades Ago!!!! A few years ago, I reconnected with a High School acquaintance through a 12 Step Friend on Social media. We have exchanged messages and I did a Natal Astrological Chart along with a Solar Return for her and her husband. She asked me to do Solar Return Charts for 2022. I was working on the charts on my laptop and will often research with my cell phone. So tonight, I was looking at the charts and noted a message on my cellphone with her number. I decided to save the number and ended up calling her instead. It was a very nice conversation. We were able to discuss our 12 Step experiences and some of the things I found in her chart. It amazes me how someone that I really didn't talk to in High School turns out to be a friend several decades later. I remember her from Junior High and High School and she remembers me but we never really conversed with each other. I was unpopular in School but quickly learned that my peers wanted to know about themselves and particularly the romantic interest in their lives. They would ask me about Astrology and how it related to them.. I had something to offer the community. My passion for Astrology has grown and progressed. The location of the Sun in a Chart gives a clue of where a person shines. Saturn indicates the life challenges that a person faces. My Sun and Saturn are both in the third house of communications. Thus where I shine and where I am challenged are in the arena. I grew up with a significant hearing and speaking disability. This forced me into an isolated existence as a y0ungster. Meanwhile, I read a lot, wrote poetry and journalized. I wrote letters to the President of the United States and the editor in various newspapers. I was quite talented with the written word. My challenge was spoken communication but I shined in written communication. I actually became involved in Drama and Public Speaking in High School. I went from being a straight "D" student to an Honor Roll Student. Later I acquired hearing aids and joined Toast Masters. My Sun and Saturn have learned to work together. Now I am an Astrologer and life is interesting.   Abracadabra  |

I hated public speaking.... was so very awkward with spoken book reports, etc. but I could write beautiful ones. True story: As a freshman, I wrote most of an older friend's English papers. When I got to that teacher's class the next year, about a month into it she kept me after class. She said she just wanted to meet the person who had been writing those papers because she knew it wasn't that student and she hadn't had the writer pass through her class yet. She was so perceptive and an excellent teacher! As for connecting with people from the past, I never had much of a desire to do that, but recently on face book, I have been contacted by students whom I knew in high school, and also by distant cousins who have a group. I've enjoyed the contact, now that I'm older. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I empathize with the language thing, being dropped into a culture at age 9, where I couldn't understand or speak the language and no one took my isolation into consideration, including the teachers.....Their response was to think that I was stupid.....I was put into grade 1, so I was a giant......There was no effort to teach me English.....they ignored and or failed to perceive my math and drawing skills or any of my behavior that would indicate my understanding.........I learned English quickly and was always the best student in my classes, but I was never advanced to my age group, which made me an outsider all the way through school.......
