8-5 Today’s Birth Card is the Eight of Diamonds, the Sun Card.

NEIL ARMSTRONG, & crew, head to the Apollo 11 spaceship, to travel to the moon, July 1969.

All Eights are very powerful, effecting change wherever they focus their energy.

Most Eights are hard workers who produce wonderful results, they love seeing their creations come to life. All Eights are influenced by Pluto and have a strong element of Scorpio in their personality. Pluto has a profound influence…the essential meaning of Pluto and Scorpio is self-transformation. Eights will undergo major changes in their lifetime….leading them to the inevitable transformations.

The Eight of Diamonds are respected and looked up to in their professions. Many will rise to great heights in this lifetime. They love to “shine”…some will go for fame, others will be happy with the respect they get.

Shopping can become an addiction to some of the Eight of Diamonds, so they must control their spending or they can easily become “power shoppers”. They have the Queen of Spades as their first Karma card, which is the card of self-mastery. When they stop trying to save the world and direct their power back to themselves, they will find peace, inner power and self-mastery.

The most famous birthday today is #NeilArmstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. He was an astronaut, aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot and university professor. He had a lifelong dedication to first flying, then space flight and when he took his first step on the moon in 1969, it was a monumental achievement; one that I will never forget. Sorry conspiracy theorists, I believe he walked on the moon. He certainly rose to the greatest heights imaginable.

I can’t overlook #MaureenMcCormick, known as Marcia on “The Brady Bunch”. My family was like the Brady Bunch….I have two sisters and my mother married my step-dad who has three sons. I was the oldest girl, so I was Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

Reading her bio, I was sorry to hear about the problems Maureen had when the Brady Bunch was over. She went through years of drug addiction, ruining her career. Hollywood directors wouldn’t work with her since she was so unreliable and she also suffered from depression and bulimia.

Maureen got married in 1985 and is still with her husband, despite all the hard times she went through. They raised their daughter together and she has worked at every opportunity. It makes me sad that the much loved Marcia Brady had such a hard life as many other child stars….sad.
