Melanie's First Astro Memory
Once upon a time... I was a little Virgo/Sag in a big library (read: Heaven!) who found a book about Astrology...
I vividly remember pulling the thin, white, book off the shelf. It was shiny and smooth in my hands and smelled new. The image of the Virgo on the front cover, so solid and clear, shone forth in vibrant colors. I noticed right away that the funny little symbol that evidently meant "Virgo" even looked like it said "Me" and that's also how you begin my name, so it was easy enough to remember. I never forgot it after that. I also remember the striking feeling I had of "Ah! There!" -as of a eureka moment- and the further fascination I had as I cracked the seldom-opened book ajar to peek inside. I don't even remember what was in there, really, but the moment of eureka and the sense of wonder, fascination, and recognition of something important lives on to this day.

I'd love to share this passion with you!
