Greetings everyone and welcome to my website!        This astrology site will perhaps be a bit different from some you've visited, so take some time to look around and hopefully find something that interests you. This is still a work in progress, and there will be more features added from time to time.        Each month will feature a forecast for the current Sun sign, the daily transits for that month and a new famous chart analysis, so be sure to come back often for updates. Also check out the great websites linked below to expand your knowledge of astrology and spirituality.        Since I am a psychologist and counselor, my main interest and application of astrology has always been with people. My primary focus is to assist you in using astrology in your spiritual and personal growth. I see astrology as a powerful and practical guide that can help you to understand yourself with more insight and compassion.  Working with your birth chart can be educational, enlightening and even fun. It can guide you towards a clearer awareness of your True Self, and how to incorporate the elements of your everyday life into your spiritual path or Dharma. My goal and purpose is to assist you in that process, and to help you to achieve integration, happiness and Wholeness. Namaste, Michael Thurman, MA
