And more importantly, how my journey might assist yours.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have asked me how I got started in astrology. I can you assure it wasn\u2019t by my design. After twenty plus years in the real estate development business, with fifteen of those years being the president of my own firm, I found myself at a crossroad. An economic recession had wreaked havoc with the entire economy and crippled my business in the process. I needed some insight into my life and what direction I should take. And I wanted it immediately!<\/p>\n<p>A friend of mine suggested I go to an astrologer. My reaction was quick and to the point, &#8221; I don\u2019t believe in that garbage&#8221;. After all of those years of dealing in concrete and steel I wasn\u2019t ready to listen to some astrologer. Nevertheless, something within me impelled to go to him and get a reading in spite of my apprehension. In fact, over a six-month period I went to see him twice. However, it wasn\u2019t until two months after my second reading that my life unfolded before my eyes and I have not been the same since.<\/p>\n<p>As the story goes, it was a Thursday and I was fighting the flu. My body was less then enthusiastic but my mind was racing. Then I was intuitively guided to look at my astrological birth chart that I was given by the astrologer. When I looked at my birthchart, it was clear that I couldn\u2019t understand anything on it. It was written in a very strange foreign language. But something within me made me persist. I borrowed some astrology books from my friend and began to read. I then went to the bookstore and bought more books and read and read and read. Seven days later, with only brief periods of sleep separating me from my astrological dig, I came up for air. I felt like I discovered the key to a huge treasure chest.<\/p>\n<p>As I continued my study, I analyzed my birth chart and with each morsel of information, I gained knowledge and insight into my life. I then proceeded to practice reading the birth charts of my friends. My evolution truly seemed like the story about the man who had never seen a guitar before in his life but while walking down the street one day, found a guitar on the ground, picked it up and began to play it as if he was a maestro. My hidden ability to interpret astrological information was a gift to me that I did not seek. However, with much gratitude, I have now used this gift to benefit literally thousands of people in all different walks of life across the United  States, Canada, Europe, South America and New   Zealand.\u00a0 I have lectured, given classes and workshops across the country. I have been on countless television and radio shows. I have published articles in magazines as well as published an audio series on Sun Signs.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the bottom line to all of the above. Astrology is a profound and practical tool for understanding your life. It is, however, written in an ancient and symbolic language. I have been given the gift to understand this language. I find joy in using my gift of understanding this cosmic tool, to help you find the joyous meaning in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Contact me by email <a href=\"mailto:\/\/bhwhale@yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bhwhale@yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- BEGIN: Constant Contact Text Link Email List Button --><\/p>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"200\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div style=\"margin-right:3px;margin-top:2px;background-color:#ff9900;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/visitor.constantcontact.com\/d.jsp?m=1101053105816&amp;p=oi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.constantcontact.com\/ui\/images1\/visitor\/email5_trans.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"100%\"><a style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;color:#ffffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/visitor.constantcontact.com\/d.jsp?m=1101053105816&amp;p=oi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up for Email Updates<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10px;color:#999999;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/safesubscribe.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.constantcontact.com\/ui\/images1\/safe_subscribe_logo.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"14\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tell you my story only as a possible means for you to relate your journey with mine.
