Accuracy of astrologer’s insight felt like she had taken a peek into my soul

Recently, after yet another long phone call discussing my disastrous dating life, one of my best friends said to me, “Gosh, you are such a Pisces”. She was referring, of course, to my tendency to be overly sensitive, too trusting, and my uncanny ability to sense other people’s feelings. She often says I can “smell emotions” and she’s not wrong.

However, apparently it’s not just my sun sign – the main zodiac symbol most people can recall – that gives an insight into my personality. I had the pleasure of having my birth chart read by Debbie Frank, which involved looking at the alignment of the planets in relation to the exact date, time and location I was born. As well as having my sun in Pisces, I now know my moon is in Scorpio, while my rising sign is Gemini. Debbie described this combination as “supersonic” which I’ve taken as the highest compliment.

She explained: “There’s this lightness to you, and you’re tremendously personable

– with a Gemini rising you have always had a lot of people around you, and as a Pisces you are a flipping fish, so you can float through and find your way without getting caught.”

So, far, so accurate.

“But, my goodness, if anybody really crosses you, underneath you have this moon in Pluto and Scorpio, which gives you this power and intensity,” she continued. “You are a private person, but people don’t realise that because you are quite chatty. You don’t let everyone in and you keep things to yourself.”

I’ve always enjoyed astrology, while not placing too much stock in its power, (I tend to think I’m overly sensitive because I’m the youngest of three children) but the accuracy of Debbie’s insight felt like she had looked into my soul. Can the planets affect what we will become? I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure – I’ll be wearing Debbie’s “supersonic” assessment like a badge of honour.
