ASTROLOGY PHILIPPINES

By Kaye Domingo Having had several sessions with astrologer Resti Santiago, including some where I received warnings from him, I realized that astrologers can give you a blueprint of your fate. But this will have an impact on you once you realize that you have   experienced these significant events mentioned in your readings. There will be a greater impact after you realize that what was predicted in your readings have actually come to pass. F rom September 2015 to December  2017,   Saturn was in Sagittarius . I hav e a Sagittarius ascendant and sun sign . The past two years took me by surprise. I t was as if I got run over by a train, especially towards mid-2017 until the end of that year.

Some stories were written in blood and these should not be forgotten by each succeeding generation. The film "Heneral Luna" is one such effort -- a brilliant, entertaining and moving one.

By Resti H. Santiago Photo by Noel Mapalo It's National Heroes Day and it's a good time for us to look up at our heroes and learn from their struggles. Astrologically speaking, anyone can be a hero, a star in his or her own right. There is no specific astrological configuration that we can look for in a natal chart to determine beforehand that an individual will become a hero or not. Why is this so? Because becoming a hero is a choice. The interaction between the struggle that a group of people is experiencing and the inner struggles of an individual with a strong sense of "fate" and mission becomes magnified and urges that individual look beyond himself and to think of the greater good.

He did initiate the "Revolution" in 1896 but he could have chosen otherwise. If he did not choose to join Rizal's L...
