New Astrologer Joins The Valley Voice

Tuesday March 11, 2008

By Cheryl White

   Trying to replace an astrologer, friend, confidant, and a 30 year columnist is not easy! Kathleen Johnson’s Starwise cannot be replaced, so, we do the next best thing for our readers who depended on this weekly column. We, at the Voice, will be featuring another talented and gifted Vermont woman who is an astrologer, has experience, and is willing to try to fill some mighty big shoes. The Valley Voice will be offering It’s In The Stars and some other tips for our astrological readers. Kathleen has passed the light to another astrologer for now. Kathleen will always be in our hearts and spirits. She would say go forward, and so we are.

    My name is Lydia Solini and I am a Certified Astrologer and Intuitive and I live in South Burlington, Vermont.

   I am very excited about being a part of the Valley Voice of Middlebury.  Middlebury is one of my favorite towns and I visit often.  I know that it will be hard to replace Kathleen Johnson who was an important part of the paper for so many years.   I look forward to adding my weekly commentary on the Lively Circle of Zodiac Sun Signs.    

   I have been immersed in Astrology since I was a child first through my Grandmother's influence and then in later years I studied with a professional Astrologer for four years.  

   For me a person's birth date provides me with an endless supply of accurate insight.  It can take me back into past lives, into childhood experiences and present life issues as well as to future opportunities.  I believe that even though we start out with our own special birth chart or horoscope we are not stagnant or set.  We can change and through the guidance of Astrology become aware of who we are and what we are here to learn.  Being able to use the guidance of an Astrologer can be helpful in any area of your life that you have questions, worries or curiosity.  Throughout the past twenty five years I have been able to see the benefits of the right advice and how empowering a tool that can be.  

   We truly are our Sun Sign (especially after the age of twenty-one).  Through my weekly horoscopes I will be focusing on the Sun Signs and the generalities of their experiences.  

What is Astrology?

    It is the study of the planets and their effect on humans as well as the environment.  A horoscope is a diagram showing the geocentric positions of the Sun, Moon and the planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  Geocentric means seen as if the planet Earth were at the center of the solar system.  All the planetary positions including the Sun and Moon must be calculated (latitude and longitude) for the specific birth date, time and location of a person or event.  Through these calculations we form a horoscope for the person or event in question.  At this point a qualified Astrologer can see your past, present and make predictions for your future.

    All of us, at one time or another, have needed answers to problems we were grappling with.  Astrology is one proven way to discover those answers.  An Astrologer can be an advisor throughout life's journey.
