Ecological Astrology

Few of us have really taken on board the necessity to “Go Green” to save the environment. We are learning that if we do not do something however, the human race could be threatened by global warming, and the result could be more horrific than we thought possible years back. The ice caps are melting, the temperatures are morphing, and perhaps now is the time to take stock and make an effort to change our ways. But how would our astro club deal with the changes going green entails?

They will also be into digging their gardens and planting them with volatile organic produce. Aries actions speak louder than words. So do not be surprised by their adamant intention to eat more vegetarian meals!

Taurus will get down to the real business of “going green”.

CANCER

Caring Cancer mums will explain to their kids how the wondrous beauties of Mother Earth are being threatened. Cancers will be into natural moon cycles, and “sense” how they affect our emotions as well as the tides. Nothing but seasonal fruits and veg will be cooked, and they will make their own baby foods. The family will be expected to use cotton napkins just like in Granny’s day. The cleaning of the Cancer’s home will be carried out with natural products. Sitting happily around the dinner table with friends and family, just like in the old days, will add to Cancer’s penchant for domestic bliss!

VIRGO

Virgo will not find “going Green” difficult, as they are purists incarnate. They could opt for “de rigueur” living styles, if you like the ultimate in “Green” perfection.

And when they get the chance they will dive into the waves and pray for a better world!
