I tell you my story only as a possible means for you to relate your journey with mine. And more importantly, how my journey might assist yours. Many people have asked me how I got started in astrology. I can you assure it wasn’t by my design. After twenty plus years in the real estate development business, with fifteen of those years being the president of my own firm, I found myself at a crossroad. An economic recession had wreaked havoc with the entire economy and crippled my business in the process. I needed some insight into my life and what direction I should take. And I wanted it immediately!

A friend of mine suggested I go to an astrologer. My reaction was quick and to the point, " I don’t believe in that garbage". After all of those years of dealing in concrete and steel I wasn’t ready to listen to some astrologer. Nevertheless, something within me impelled to go to him and get a reading in spite of my apprehension. In fact, over a six-month period I went to see him twice. However, it wasn’t until two months after my second reading that my life unfolded before my eyes and I have not been the same since.

As the story goes, it was a Thursday and I was fighting the flu. My body was less then enthusiastic but my mind was racing. Then the thought occurred to me to look at my astrological birth chart that I was given by the astrologer. When I looked at it, it was clear that I couldn’t understand anything on it. It was written in a very strange foreign language. But something within me made me persist. I borrowed some astrology books from my friend and began to read. I then went to the bookstore and bought more books and read and read and read. Seven days later, with only brief periods of sleep separating me from my astrological dig, I came up for air. I felt like I discovered the key to a huge treasure chest.
