I’ve always been intrigued by Zodiac symbols and the origin of astrology. To be honest, when I was in third grade and we were told that we were going to be doing an astronomy unit, I genuinely believed we were going to be learning about our Zodiac signs. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed when we didn’t discuss how the fate of our lives and days were affected by the cosmos, and after third grade, I sort of gave up on astrology. However, since being in this astronomy class and learning about the Zodiacs, I have a new found interest in them, although not in the way I used to. Even after being in class for a couple weeks, my mind has started thinking about the vastness of the universe and how small that makes me feel. I think most people submit to reading about astrology and their Zodiac not because they really believe it, but rather because it gives people a way to connect to a universe that is so large, so endless. It gives people a way to feel like they are part of something bigger, and I don’t blame anyone for trying to connect with the stars.

I enjoyed reading your post! I also enjoy learning about astrology but especially finding how it overlaps with astronomy. After reading your post, I was wondering: What is your renewed interest in astrology and how is it different than it used to be?
