The Cosmic Connection
with Ursula Duffy
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to provide a better understanding of how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth (date, time and location). This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to one’s personality. It can be considered one’s personal map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth and influences your life in various and cyclical ways. Cycles according to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, seasons and even at specific ages influence your life and possibly your attitude towards life. The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and find the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars!

Weekly astrology summary:
This week builds up to a bold, daring Leo full moon on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8:53 a.m. There’s added tension that can be eased by diving deeply into and transmuting intense emotions that may rise to the surface. This full moon is super-charged and challenges us to embrace change. It’ll push our minds and our hearts out of our personal and collective comfort zones.
