If you are looking for a new experience or perhaps just some fun this summer, consider joining Fran Halamandaris’s astrology club. The group finds joy and great fun as they gain a fresh, in-depth   perspective of the zodiac. Fran welcomes us to the wonderful and intriguing world of learning about ourselves. Having taught astrology, she can use this discipline to enter deeply into this fascinating and complicated arena, drawing on the wisdom of ancient cultures.

There is a new surge of interest in astrology. This causes us to open our minds and think differently. Would you like to know more about your characteristic and have a clearer understanding of your friend’s and family’s personality?  A study of this science is based on the belief that the sun, the moon and planets profoundly affect earth, humans, animals and plants.

As I prepared to write my column I imagined a beautiful world of peace. I imagined a new media filled with stories of love for a united and healthy world. A world of understanding tolerance, patience and respect. Life is precious, and we need treasure the basic goodness and hope in our community.

The Dalai said, “Peace will not come from the sky.” We have to build a peaceful culture beginning with our thoughts, and in our homes, schools, workplace and community.

I wish the loveliest summer season for my friends and readers.
