Astrocartography and Traveling With Pomegranates

Earlier this year, I had a great conversation with an astrologer.  The conversation centered around astrocartography, which is the study of the affects of the planets on specific locations on the planet.  I am not really sure how scientific it is but it's cool.  After studying the map for a long time, it became clear that there were several areas on the planet that would be ideal for me to live.  Number one is Havana, Cuba.  Sorry, that's not really an option.  Number two is Athens, Greece.  Now, that is more to my liking.  At this moment, with the economy the way it is, that probably won't happen either.  However, the astrologer pointed out that instead of moving, I might just surround myself with things that were Greek.  I might decorate with some Greek items or explore Greek mythology in my artwork.  Now, that I can definitely do.  


One of the other things I did was to read the fantastic book by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter about the many trips to Greece that they took together,  Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter Story  What a fantastic book!  Sue would write a chapter and then Ann (her daughter).  You get to see how they uncover and share several meaningful secrets and develop a deeper bond between themselves, and all of this happening at various sites in Greece.  You also get to take part in Sue's writing of her bestseller, "The Secret Life of Bees", from the beginning.  It was so much fun to read about her insecurities and eventual success with the book.  Both books are highly recommended!
