thanks so much alissa! i've wanted to know this for ages.
fatalistic huh.... i like to think i'm getting better about that, lol.
the two separate sources sound alot like me. i am very aware of the part of me that is not as 'earthbound' for lack of better word. it is just as much a part of my consciousness as the part of me that is. this is a tad complex... i have completely cut myself off from my parents however my immediate family ie my husband and children, i am deeply connected to.
... and the personal focus thing... absolutely!!!
this is very interesting to me, as it describes my personal focus in this life (might i assume 'purpose'?) the same as my astro chart.
very cool! thanks again alissa
