Astrology is considered to be the language of the stars! At night when I look up at all of the different points of light I notice one significant fact though, and that is that it's completely silent. We're used to language being something spoken and heard by our ears, but the stars seem to communicate differently that. The stars have a language of light. Tonight, take a look up at them and really think about what they might be saying to you. And remember... most the time when you think you're "thinking" you're actually listening.
