Editors Note: One of the research methods I’ve used preparing Cosmic Confidential was surveying my readers to ask how they responded to their astrology the past year or so. There were hundreds of detailed responses, which have been sorted by Genevieve Hathaway in Seattle. She has read through all of them, and provided a condensed version that will be included with Cosmic Confidential as a resource area. I asked her what she learned from doing this project the past few weeks, and this is what she wrote to me today. I thought I would share her thoughts with you. You can read the unedited full responses at this link. — efc

As for what I learned from the signs – it was really insightful to pick out quotes. I learned that there were general themes for each of the signs. Astrology is real!! Well, duh, we already knew that. 😉 It’s just so cool to see astrology in action, bringing each sign it’s own specific adventures and themes and things to work on.
The Aries year seemed a lot about security and companionship and where the professional life intersects the personal life. Where career and relationships meet. There was a lot of discussion of expansion, especially in regards to people’s professional life.
For Pisceans, it was a year of delving into the self; redefining themselves; breaking down the old, outdated self and building a new self; building a foundation of self for the future; loving themselves and putting themselves 1st in their own life. There was also a lot of internal healing, new ways of viewing relationships and letting go of the people that energetically suck them dry. Aquarians’ year was about awareness (not surprising with Chiron there). There was a lot of instability and lack of pattern/routine in life, and people were having to make friends with it. Also more internal questioning and redefining of self.
