My parents were doing a big spring clenaing in our house when I was about 8, 9 years old and in a box of books I found they were throwing away an astrology book. what actually caught my eye was the cover of the book, the zodiac wheel with all the symbols and the one that I liked the most was the symbol of VIRGO. It was the first one that hypnotized me straight away. So I picked the book and asked my dad what was that about and he said : that was all rubbish, to be thrown away. But I was stubborn (scorpio rising), I picked the book and started reading and after 2 minutes I asked: which one is my star sign?
I think that he knew...but he kept saying astrology was a bs...He really wanted to throw the book away but I kept it and devoured everything I could find about astrology, I was going really crazy about that. But back in the timen( It was 1987) in Rio de Janeiro, at the age of 8 there was nothing much and nobody I could really ask to give me books. So I got into reading about mythology from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica , and I readed about every planet/greek entity goddess I could. That was so rewarding, I would spend hours and hours reading and reading and the myths over and over again. When I was 12 I started looking for astrology books at school and municipal libraries...The process of understanding it was very slow hence, my family was not supportice, very skeptical parents.
But I m happy at 33 years old and I seek guidance from the stars and I try to help friends through it too.
Peace and Light to all of you.
