When The Stars Tell You Their Secrets...

...It's a good idea to listen

There is wisdom in the stars. We can’t all see it and most of us don’t believe it’s true. It sounds like religion or a bit “woo woo”, but if you speak to people who know, they might whisper the sky’s secrets to you. 

I met an astrologer back in 2017. I thought he’d unleash whatever I needed to break. We discussed my birth, my mom, and he asked about the baby she lost when I was 7. We spoke about my dad and how my life changed when I was 11 years old. Every aspect of my life was dissected, and he confirmed everything I already knew; but how he knew what to ask I don’t have a clue. My life was pretty eventful as a kid, though a few moments stand out. He dropped questions on those specific years and months as if he had watched me grow up. 

I came home, shaken, vowing to never go back. I felt the grip of someone seeing through me. I didn’t want it. If he knew my past, then maybe my fate is already carved out. I couldn’t agree with that. My life is meant to be created by me. 

I wasn’t going to speak with him again, until one day, I felt I needed to call. My boyfriend was out of town and out of touch. He left the country suddenly and texted me only once that he was okay. I was freaking out; I thought he was leaving me or maybe got a woman pregnant. It wasn’t too rational and I didn't know how to handle the feelings. I needed someone to promise me it’ll be okay. 

I got on the phone and asked my astrologer what he thought. Part of me didn’t want to hear the future and part of me needed to know. Was my boyfriend coming back? Did he still love me? Were we going to be okay?

We spoke for maybe an hour or so. I kept fighting the urge to ask straight up: is he my life-partner? Is he the one? My astrologer asked the right questions — like the first time — and let me cry. Before we finished, he dropped one nugget of wisdom. It didn’t answer anything but also told me what I needed to know. 

“Whatever you fear won’t happen because of distance,” he promised me.

I was putting too much worry into my boyfriend being away. I thought he’d forget me. I thought we’d be separated forever. I was worrying about all the wrong things and my astrologer helped frame it differently. I was able to ask myself after that call: if just being apart was enough to break us up…maybe we should break up?

Our relationship was over barely 2 weeks later. My astrologer didn’t tell me the future; he interpreted how life works. Like a north star, he gave me guidance in the right direction and I walked that way. Destiny is a lot less scary when I’m making it happen on my own.

These days, whenever I need astute life advice, I know where to go. I don’t know the wisdom stars hold, but my astrologer might. I call him to whisper their secrets to me.
