Ever wonder why you or others around you react to certain situations or scenarios the way they do?
When I was younger, I always wondered about why I may have thought the way I did and why others might have felt similarly or even different.
The thought and theory of astrology always fascinated me quite frankly. I bought quite a few books in my youth about this topic.
One of the things I was curious about was how my birth sign co-existed with others in all matters, especially in matters of the heart. I once purchased an astrology book to find out why one of my exes and myself just couldn’t seem to get it right. I thought if I could read more about this, I could figure it out.
There are twelve astrological signs and I just so happen to be a Gemini, which has always been told to me to be the twin sign.
I think I was mentioned here my mom recently relaying to me that when I was a kid that I once asked for a glass of milk around the age of my youngest, Lily. I, then, proceeded to tell her that I didn’t want the glass of milk in question and that I wasn’t even sure why I said this, because I didn’t like milk.
Simply put, the twin in me emerged and definitely confused my mom for the first of many times growing up. Trust me I was an enigma and drove this poor wonderful woman crazy on more then one occasion not being able to make up my mind.
If you don’t believe me you could ask her or my husband, who also will tell you I am so very indecisive not even being able to make up my mind on the smallest of things someday like what to make for dinner.
And yet as the years went on, I definitely embodied many of the gemini characteristics, such as (I already shared) being indecisive and even being so very gregarious and outgoing, but there were other aspects that were still vexing and not quite in line with that of a Gemini.
A very good friend of mine in my twenties introduced me to the concept of moon and sun relationship to my astrological sign, which take into effect not only the time of year (month/date) you are born, but also the time of day you are born as well.
In recent times, I actually also became friends with another wonderful lady who is all about astrology through my Hubpages connection. And more recently, she decided to start up her own webpage all about astrology and her dealings with it.
Carol’s AstrologyCarol Stanley from Carol’s Astrology, is not only a friend, but a client of J9 Designs. I have really gotten to know her so much better since working with her on her starting up and designing her WordPress Blog on all things astrology.

I'm not sure how much I read into stuff like this. I do read my horoscope, but I think some of it is made up.

Robin, I admit that I was a bit skeptical when I was younger, but I do think much of it really does have its own merit and for me it does explain why I act a certain way with things in my life, but that is just me.

thank you Janine for the accolades…However, thanks to you and your beautiful work I am live on the web. I so appreciate all that you have done…You are so talented and dependable which means a lot to all of us wanting to get started with our passions. Also a word ….remember your Libra rising…that is a major factor in indecisiveness..It is the way you show yourself to the world…And you know I am a libra so it is a good thing. Thanks for this lovely write up but mostly showing yourself to be a friend and so patient with all my lack of cyber knowledge. I cannot thank you enough …but I will try.

Carol, honestly my pleasure here and I seriously was so happy to share this, because you made my day with your beautiful and accurate reading. I showed it to Kevin and he was amazed right you were about the kids, as well as himself. So, I know you really know your stuff and am just so glad to share that with others here. And thank you for being a wonderful friend and truly so over the moon that I could work on your site and get it up and running.

I'm so happy to see you highlight someone like Carol….she is a good person, a loyal friend and she definitely knows her stuff with astrology. Well done, Janine. I love reading posts where you give back to other writers. Have a great day.
Janine Huldie says
Bill, this one was such a joy to write and couldn't stop smiling while I wrote it yesterday. I usually have my week plotted out and am a couple days out with articles just in case (after the hurricane last year, I learned to just be ahead god forbid), but I wrote this and placed it in nicely today and just bumped what I would have posted until a later date. Had Emma's 4 year old checkup today and am a little behind now, but just trying to catch up. Have a great day, too Bill!!

Rosey says
We were just at the library and the librarian was showing us how the astrological signs have now changed. I'm a Gemini…always have been, lol, and now she says I'm something different because planets realigned or something. I haven't really checked into it, but she piqued my interest for a sec. π
Happy to read your feature. Nice to meet you, Carol. π

Karen says
I so believe in the horoscopes. I used to work with a woman who wa all about rising sign and your birth sign. As a scorpio married to a scorpio…well we are loud, opinionated, stubborn, mean, but also loving, devoted, caring, and passionate. Dino is a Gemini…and I need to be gentle with him and feed his talents. He can be quite stubborn and loud…obviously learned from his mommy and daddy. He is also very picky and will eat something one day and the next day hate it and refuse to look at it.
My recent post US MAP PUZZLE
Janine Huldie says
You put a smile on my face Karen with your descriptions of Scorpios, because I still remember an episode of 90210 (yes still watch reruns!) where scorpios were described by Dylan's mom. For some reason that is what just came to my mind!! I know crazy, but this is what you reminded me of, lol π
Cyndi says
What a fun post! Sorry I've been all incognito…maybe next week will calm down a bit and I can do a few posts, lol. It's great to read about Carol, too. I'm a Taurus/Gemini – born right on the cusp. LOL. Good to see you. π

findingninee says
I actually had a really weird experience with a psychic. I dismissed everything she said (because it was BS) but had the most magnificiant flying dream of my life, after visiting her. Like for real amazing. AAAAND stupid spell check won't let me spell the mag part right…
Janine Huldie says
Wow, that did sound very strange, but definitely intriguing. I am a bit afraid to go to a psychic, because not sure which of my deceased relatives would try to make contact from the other side. Sounds crazy, but a very good friend who lost both her parents went and definitely had some very interesting experiences with her deceased parents trying to make contact. Probably sound like a kook, but I do believe in that. And sorry about spell check, I know they get me quite often, too!
Eddy says
Another wonderful read Janine which for some reason I missed !!Oh well better late than never. I'm afraid I am not that into astrology but I agree with you that Carol is indeed a wonderful writer. Have a great day.
Eddy.

Thanks so much Eddy and couldn't agree more Carol is a wonderful writer and seriously was so happy to get to share her hear with those who knew her and for those who didn't to get to know her better. Enjoy the rest of your day, too!! π

Holy cow! I just found this site today and was digging on it. I had no idea you did the design for her! It all makes a lot more sense now. π

Oh so glad you actually found Carol and seriously she is awesome. I can't say that enough and it was so my pleasure to work with her on her site from the ground up!! Thank you seriously for your kind words, too!! π
christyb says
I love what you did with Carole's site! It looks great π I'm following her now too! I wonder though… does she know to respond to comments in order to form relationships with her followers? I really do think it is an important way to connect with readers. Hugs!
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Christy for your kind words and also for helping connect Carol and I on this. I think Carl does know, but can totally ask her if she is familiar with how to respond. I think she was Ok on the blogger end with this, but good question as for WordPress!!
