death to my sun sign

Young Jasmine shaped and molded her life based on the assumption that her place in the world was to be a Sagittarian philosopher and adventurer. I ignored the piece of me that yearned for silence and discipline. I subconsciously (and detrimentally) chose lovers and friends that reflected the wild nature inside of me.

Astrology is the study of movements and postions of celestial bodies in relation to human affairs. Horoscopes are a practice adopted by American culture using Astrology to deliver this information.
