Zodiac Signs & Cosmic Encounters

One zodiac astrology resource I know of and like is Ralphee Finn's (or maybe it's Ralfee Finn's) Aquarium Age. Click the "Weekly Frequency" link for weekly astrological updates.

I had a great "small world" moment, meeting Ralphee at the very end of the Kalachakra with the Dalai Lama in Toronto. We had both stopped into the hotel cafeteria for breakfast before catching flights for home. Conversation over breakfast led to the exchange of names and emails... It was a fun moment to discover I knew her. Or at least, I knew her website and her work.

I wonder if I will ever meet a stranger and it will turn out they know my website or my jewelry. Has that ever happened to any of you? The closest I ever came was someone meeting me who had seen a photography exhibit of mine. I felt almost famous.
