EPILOGUE
Star Catcher
It tugged at her, that ancient call,
so she slipped from her barren bed
where her sisters in black were asleep,
to that magical night to catch stars soon to fall.
She ran through the trees to the open space,
she flew over crests of the hills;
with joy she embraced those fiery streaks,
their burning caresses, their kiss on her face.
All night long she danced with that Light,
wrapped in its numinous arms;
her blood ran white and hot with its fire
that forever would kindle her soul in the night.
Her days were cold in those walls of stone,
sorting the dried and withered fruit,
sifting dead ashes scorched by the Sun,
while her sisters knelt silently weeping alone.
But at night she bathed in those radiant beams;
her hands still covered with silvery dust
stroked the burning kiss on her skin,
and wild she ran with the stars in her dreams.

How To Use This Book
CHAPTER 1
How To Use This Book
Humanus Astrologicus focuses on the seven “planets” in our solar system known
to both ancient and modern astrologers, and what each indicates when located
in the twelve signs of the zodiac. I put planets in quotation marks because even
though the Sun and Moon aren’t technically planets, astrology refers to them as
such and puts them in a special category called “the lights” because they are the
only bodies in the solar system that can light the surface of the earth and create
shadows. This gives them a highlighted importance in their placements in the
astrological chart.
The Signs of the Zodiac
The signs of the zodiac are always in the order presented in the following chart.
The upcoming verses representing the placements of the planets in the signs
will always be presented in the same order. Also included for the curious is the
symbol for each astrological sign.

The Sun
SUN IN ARIES (THE RAM)
March 21–April 19
They love to lead us from the dark,
Inspiring us with constant spark
To boldly go out and explore
Where no one’s ever gone before,
Making us feel small and feckless
While they’re being bold and reckless.
They feel that they’ve great things to do
But what they are they’ve not a clue.
They only know they must go on
Through darkest night into new dawn.
They like to be the people who
Get somewhere first, but number few
In long term management employment.
It doesn’t give them much enjoyment,
But if some duty calls they’ll stay
Although you’ve got to let them play.
They talk a lot, plus they’re up front,
So you’ve been warned—they’re pretty blunt.
Snappy with a fast comeback,
Long attention spans they lack.
They’re not afraid to be caught snoring
If the goings-on are boring.
Rarely do they think or pause
Before defending each lost cause.
A few may seem the timid lamb
But they become the mighty ram
Using great ferocity
When fighting some atrocity.
They never seem to quite mature
Yet still they have a strange allure.
They can enrage us, then disarm
Us with their most peculiar charm.

Rejuvenation Resolution
“Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can
retreat at any time and be yourself.” Hermann Hesse
New Year’s Resolutions. We’ve all made them at least once in our lifetime – those overly
optimistic diet and exercise goals that we are only able to follow for a month or two
at the most. Despite high motivation, often times unanticipated family, work, or household
obligations get in the way and foil our best intentions. The main reason we fail to keep our
resolutions is because our plan to exercise more or eat healthier is based on our “ideal” life – not
the one we really live, where kids get the flu, the furnace breaks down, and work deadlines pop
up out of nowhere. While there may be legitimate times when you have to skip your exercise
routine, we often use time or conflicts as an excuse, when better planning could have prevented
our exercise derailment. It’s easy to use time as a reason because it takes the blame off ourselves
and puts it elsewhere. When we are truly motivated – and mindful – we are strong enough and
aware enough to stick to our goals. This month we will explore ways that will help us avoid
going down the same paths that derailed us in the past.
Start the year by reflecting on all you did to benefit your body, mind, and spirit in the past
year, and see whether there are any opportunities for improvement. Set realistic goals based on
these discoveries that will allow you to live joyfully in the now while moving mindfully into the
future. Perhaps your intention is just to maintain the healthy routines you’ve already been doing

Educational workbook

How to Use Writeriffic
Would an athlete enter a marathon without first becoming fit? Would a hopeful
singer head to a once-in-a-lifetime audition without taking voice lessons? What
about an emerging writer?
Are you trying to jump into the writing world without training? How prepared
are you for the competitive world of writing?
To be inventive and increase creativity, we need to write and train in order for
our skills to be sharpened. That’s what this book is about. It’s filled with tips on
creativity and training assignments to improve your creative work and even help
get you over that bugaboo, writer’s block.
In this book you’ll find the insider school stuff you need. The material shares
the information on creativity and writing that I’ve gathered in my twenty-plus
years as a professional writer and in the last twelve years teaching online as I’ve
mentored thousands of emerging writers. You’ll discover in these pages:
• How to increase self-confidence.
• How to boost your creative gifts.
• How to capture your writer’s voice and make it sing.
• How to create a creative lifestyle that promotes innovation.
• How to overcome the fear of starting.
• How to know you have what it takes to be a writer.
• And scores of writing tricks.
I believe that because of your life’s experiences, you have a natural talent to
write. Every person can write. Sometimes we don’t get the right kind of creative
support from family and friends. It’s a truism. But here in this book you can write,
reflect, and practice the craft of writing. When the time is right, you’ll be able
to seek publication because you will know you’re ready. How so? Every writing
assignment will be a reflection on where you are with your writing skill at that time.
Each time you review your writing in this journal/workbook, you’ll see progress.
I have created the Writeriffic assignments for you, and I hope you’ll consider
me your mentor, as if I were sitting with you or you and I were in a classroom.

Feed Your Creative Self
Go online or remember the recipe for a favorite childhood food. My mama
always made gingerbread cookies at Christmas, heavy on the nutmeg, and I can
“taste” them in my mind when I think of this holiday.
OR: cook something that is a favorite, and before you begin to indulge, smell,
feel, taste on your tongue, and capture these senses in your writing.
Once you’ve focused on the memories and flavors in your mind, write 200
words on this memory.
For overachievers: Write this using only dialogue and appropriate tag lines (the
he-said, she-said attributions).

What Is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a method of increasing the
visibility of a blog, web page, or website in search engines through
organic search results in hopes that users will find your page without
you spending a dime in advertising. SEO was considered by many to
be one of the more technical roles of Internet marketing. Although
this was true in the past, and still is to a degree, it is now much
easier through the use of blogging service providers. Blogs have
made integrating SEO much easier without having to know any
programming language; just a willingness to learn the blog platform
software, sometimes referred to as software as a service (SaaS). In
the chapters to come we have laid out a plan for you to promote
your real estate business online using real practical strategies versus
learning the theory of a programming language.
One Truth About SEO
If there were one truth about SEO, it would be that it does not
guarantee you to be on the first page of search engine results above

www.austin-tx.com or some other variation with dashes. As a
result, you have a small opportunity to capitalize on SEO using
dashes because “austintexas” is a misspelled word and will
not be recognized. In fact, as you can see in Figure 5-2, you
will have the option of “Did you mean: austin texas.”
Figure 5-2. Example of Google search results for misspelled words.
As it pertains to SEO, the search engines are looking for
grammatically correct sentences and/or words. Austin-Texas is
considered a grammatically correct word and the search engine will
recognize what that user is trying to find. Thus, it can be used as a
domain name.
As a side note, if you do decide to use dashes and you want to
promote that domain name offline—on a sign, for example—then
tell people to use the dash. For example, the domain name buy-
619.com. Make signs that spell out “Buy Dash 619” and print the
domain name underneath it. See below. Trust us, viewers will get
it because now they are telling their brain what to do. It’s called
human behavior and we are creatures of habit.

Buy Dash 619
www.buy-619.com
Consequently, in this example, it would be a good idea to secure
the domain name buydash619.com, just in case you have an
individual who takes domain names literally.

The Rain Falls Here in Ireland by Jamie Gilliam
The rain falls here in Ireland, not in sheets nor at an angle,
just simply falls, the clouds wringing themselves to release their
purchase in heavy drops that are not counted by numbers so much
as the cumbersome size of each.Tonight, I am feeling the vibrations
of my life set to a cello with its deep resonating thrum and a barely
audible guitar accompaniment.
Tourist season has just ended here in Temple Bar, along the
River Liffey. I have a table in a restaurant that has absolutely no
expectations of hailing customers today. I order a simple latte.
I sit, content to watch as people converge at the pub across the
way, covering themselves with umbrellas, hats, bags, coats, and
one unlikely individual running with a plastic chair held above
his head, as I wait for my coffee. They seek shelter, a pint, good
food, old friends, new friends… a connection. They run in pairs
and groups, holding hands, and pushing their way through the
crowd…smiles on every passing face.
No one in my life would ever guess that I could be sitting alone
at a table for two just away from the rain, yet very much a part of
it. I am at peace.
My coffee is served by a young woman with red hair, blue eyes,
freckles and the speech that clearly proves I am in Ireland. Her

Over the years I have become concerned with the
preservation of ancient traditions and ancient beliefs.
While it is important to be open to new and unique
ways, I feel it is equally important to bear in mind that
the Old Ways are the foundation upon which the New
Age rests. The New Age represents knowledge and the Old
Ways represent wisdom; one might say that the Old Ways
are the “DNA” within the body of the New Age.

“Il mio amore.” Antonio DeMarco’s lapse into Italian still
made Diana melt, but this time the resonating quality of his
voice was different—not so seductive. “There’s something I need
to tell you,” he said.
Concerned by her husband’s tone, Diana tried to make
eye contact but couldn’t because she needed all her concentra-
tion to drive Antonio’s favorite car, the Ferrari, down the
Atwoods’ steep driveway in Starwood Estates. “Are you okay?”
she asked.
“I’ve been meaning to tell you this, but everything hap-
pened so fast.” Antonio touched her hand on the wheel. Once
Diana let him hold her hand, Antonio positioned it on the con-
sole, then interlaced his fingertips with hers and slowly inched
his way up between her fingers toward her palm. How can fingers
be so erotic? she wondered.
“It’s been a whirlwind since we met, no?” Antonio’s deep
voice had an indescribable Italian American accent that quick-
ened Diana’s pulse.
Diana nodded and wisps of her long, blonde hair fell into
her eyes. Since they met, it had been more like a hurricane than
