It started with my mom and her best friend. As the only daughter, they would drag me along for all their luncheons, and outings, and talk to me about things they believed were facts. They both loved astrology (the sun sign part) and would speak to me about it all the time. So as a child, as I grew up, I knew my sun sign, and knew when I was "acting out" my sun sign, as they would say. They were pretty good at it too. Funny enough, although sun signs were factual and real, they saw horoscopes as unfactual and just for fun.
I probably would have stumbled unto astrology faster than I did, but they believed equally other metaphysical things. Such as ghosts, intuition, psychic tendencies, and the ability to predict, in some way the future. So when I entered adulthood, I began researching and further understanding those parts of my shared history first. I stumbled unto astrology slower. First learning, when an astrologist I was speaking too, asked if I knew my other placements...which I was kind of like, whatttt??? Recently, however, I started realizing how important all the planets were, and now I want to understand how they relate to each other better.
I like to understand the things I believe. Or to place foundations on things that I feel are true but cant explain. So eventually I knew I would delve deeper into this subject as well.
