Uses of Astrology

"Astrology consists of a number of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes that claim to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects at the time of their birth. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians,Chinese, and Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations."

Herbal Cold and Flu Remedies

So my family has had this nasty flu running around us, even though we all got flu shots in August!

Well that doesn't change the fact that we got something nasty going around!

Here are a few things I have been doing here to help fight this crud off.
