Resiliency and Your Sun Sign

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Carmen Turner-Schott, author of the new Sun Signs, Houses & Healing.

It was twenty-five years ago when I started working with victims of trauma. Throughout the years, I realized that within each individual there are personality traits that help them overcome the most tragic life experiences.

Every sun sign is born with resilient traits. Resiliency is the ability to bounce back stronger after life knocks us down. When we experience abuse, the death of a loved one, heartbreak, divorce, career problems, or health issues, we face uncomfortable emotions. Change and transformation help us grow. There is a fire that burns inside each person and the sun sign personality sheds light on those gifts.
