About Me; Marie and Astrology

Hi there my name is Marie. I am a Sagittarius with Mars, Venus and my Ascendant in Scorpio.

I used to go to the Library a lot when I was around 13, my mom was very strict and this was one place she would allow my brothers and I to go alone. First a little sad background, this is when someone may say, "Cue the violins", Ha-ha:

My parents had recently been divorced and I was really feeling down on myself and questioning why I was here. My mom and I had a very strained relationship. Because of my brothers I felt lucky my whole life to be the only girl child.

Because of my Parent's divorce, unluckily, I became the focus of my Parent's fights and the one that their words affected most. To be honest with you my Mom made me feel worthless and unloved, then.

I needed counseling looking back on it now, at the time, I didn't know people got that kind of thing. I gave my self- counseling I guess.

Back to the Library.

So, the days in the library ended with my brothers and I renting out books. I started on the Psychology/Self help books section. Having borrowed several books a week, all the ones that grabbed my interest I ran out of books.

I moved on to the next section and that section was for some reason the Astrology section. Lucky thing that was. So I checked out some of those.

This is when and how my journey and love affair with Astrology began.

I have been an avid reader and student since then.


Through the next few years, Astrology helped me develop a healthy self-esteem. It taught me about myself and it gave me a thirst for knowledge of others and a connection to others.

I became captivated by Astrology, I learned to do Astrology charts by hand. I discovered there was more to learn. I started with my own chart and then charts for my 3 brothers just for my own enjoyment.

At times, I would notice things and say to my Mom, "Oh that's because this brother is a Gemini or Taurus or a Libra, that's natural to the way they are." and my Mom would say "oh really?" Now, she nods or says something to agree.

So I moved along and I did charts for my Parents and I began to understand them more as people. My Mother an Aquarius was quirky and blunt and aloof, not mean. My Father and later my Step-father were both Sagittarians ( this is why I felt such affinity to them).

Funnily, my Mom had a Sagittarian daughter and married two Sagittarian men, Wow.

Astrology made things more clear.

Later as an adult, I started applying my knowledge and curiosity towards relationships; my friends and my loves.

I would do charts for my friends, framed them as art and give them as gifts. I would give my astro advice to friends when they were dating someone special. I once sent a chart to Ricky Martin and I got a thank you call in reply, that was fun and unbelievable.

Through my studies, I become a private Astrology expert, well, amongst my friends that is. I even sold some charts for a while. I had gained a lot of knowledge from my studies and I wanted to share what I had learned and my ideas about things. I started thinking... and...
