Astrology -- Are You a Believer?

I think there is definitely an influence that planetary alignments exert on us humans.  We have proof right before our eyes twice a day as the tides in the Gulf shift according to the position of the moon, primarily.  Since the earth and the average human body are both about 70% water, doesn't it make sense that we are also affected by the positions of the planets?

Now, that being said, let me add the disclaimer.  I seriously question the abilities of humans to interpret these alignments and give a sound enough meaning that we can make important life decisions.  We have a pretty good example of that failure also -- The Bible. 

I'm a Gemini.  And on June 11th, Jupiter will 'enter' my 'house' - astronomically speaking.  I was shown one astrologers interpretation who predicted I was "...about to begin one of the biggest and best years of your life."  Considering how good my life has been so far, I thought that to be a very powerful statement.  Things have already been going pretty good for me on a business level and I anticipate adding two more drivers -- doubling AGAIN -- next month.

Being the inquisitive one that I am, I did some more research.  Not everyone out there agrees.  Go figure.  Another expert says, "Jupiter in Gemini is deemed to be very scattered with too many things going on to ever deal efficiently with any of them."  Hmmmm.  Reality check. 

I guess I will just continue to do what I have been doing and look up at the stars at night and try to decipher for myself what they are twinkling to me.  Although tonite -- very unfortunately -- will not be a good one.  It's been cloudy and overcast all day with a 15-20 mph wind from the west.  Our beach is white from the froth and slowly eroding away back into the Gulf.

The worst part about potentially no sunset tonite is that Venus will be transiting (crossing) the face of the sun from our perspective starting just before sunset.  Wonder what that means?  AND it is a Full Moon.  OMG!
