Use astrology as your guide on your karmic journey. 
So many of us wonder why we are here; why we are alive right now, at this time and place. Why do we exist at all? We tend to ponder these thoughts when we are going through stressful or painful times and, it is during these times, that we are apt to consult authorities to find our answers. We span the journey through psychotherapy, clergy, support groups, physicians, and yes, sometimes psychics and astrologers in our search of the reasons behind our pain. Sometimes we seek out the answers to these questions in order to enhance our growth and understand our soul's purpose. We humans are a questioning bunch; our inquisitiveness and thirst for truth are remarkable. Karma and Your Sun Sign deals with that search for answers through the use of astrology. This is not the usual sun sign description of personality traits found in countless other astrology books. Karma and Your Sun Sign can be used as a guide to help you to better understand yourself and your self-chosen lessons toward growth and evolvement. There are many vignettes sprinkled with humor describing the experiences of others to help as examples for you. You do not need to have any knowledge of astrolgy. All you need is your birthday (sun sign). May the angels guide you on your karmic journey. Joan Kilgen
