Astrology is a powerful self-awareness tool that can be used to help us understand our strengths and weaknesses. When we embrace our personality traits, we can use them to heal many areas of our lives. In 1993, I picked up my first astrology book and read about my Virgo sun sign.

I keep my Moon Sign Book handy just in case that five-pound bag of potatoes under my sink begins sprouting and demands to be planted.
