introduction

i heart uranus. it is true. while it may sound like i am getting a little fresh, well, that is uranus. it stirs things up and brings in fresh air, sometimes in the form of a typhoon, but that is life. you cannot control the universe.

so why am i hearting uranus out here in the public realm? well, for starters i am fairly certain i am experiencing a uranus transit and recent occurences in life have led me to look deeper into the universe. i was very surprised at how startlingly accurate a lot of the information i found was. the more i looked into my astrological make-up and that of those around me, the more surprised i was. i have a graduate degree in science, but also a spiritual side and a healthy belief that we are kidding ourselves if we think we understand everything in our universe at this point in time. i know to many people astrospeak sounds very odd and silly, but i liken these people to those who used to think the world was flat. they had it all figured out and couldn't entertain any notions that didn't neatly fit into their knowledge boxes... where are those people now? well, if they were not dead, they'd be stuck on their own little piece of terra firma. nobody ever gets anywhere living a life without questioning that very life. my genious little nephew said to his dad recently at dinner, "dad, did you ever think that what we are doing right now is a dream and our dreams are the real world?" hmmm... interesting. this little aquarius has an open mind doesn't he? yes, he is an aquarius, ruled by none other than uranus.

it is all about energy really. and you have to admit that there are a lot of energy forces happening around us everyday that we do not see. cellphones being an obvious example... wait, hold on a second, i think i need another beer if i am going to continue with this....okay, ready to continue my unscientific connections. so, when people say things like "the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.", aren't they referring to being able to feel the tension between people? alright, i definitely need to flesh out this argument a little more. basically, i don't know how astrology works, but i am going to say energy. i don't really need the scientific proof right now, although i find it very interesting to think about. what i need is to not kill anymore trees.

basically, i have tried to map out my psyche and my psyche in it's most recent relationship... and that person's psyche, or astrological chart. essentially, i have scraps of paper, a notebook and recently bought index cards strewn all across my home and am now looking to organize all of my thoughts and information in cyberspace. this universe and astrology and soul searching and soul mate encounters go way beyond, "what is your sign?" that is just the tip of the iceberg my friends. i have come to realize that people are so complex it is a wonder anyone stays together... but more on that later. anyway, i am sure i will write many things here that will sound nutty even to myself. but astrology has at least some kind of formula and angles and math to it that makes it feel like a tangible system. i am proceeding with the mantra, "keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out." in other words, balance what is possible with what is real... be a pragmatic dreamer if you will.

finally, i am assuming the blogosphere is so overwhelmed that nobody will make it here. this is really for me anyway, but if you took a wrong turn somewhere, feel free to comment...
