Giribaradhari das:<\/p>\n
Cursed or blessed, I don’t really know,
\nBorn under a strange constellation.
\nThe ways of the stars I can’t understand.
\nThat’s the cause of my consternation.<\/p>\n
Five planets in gemini in the first house,
\nIt leads to a lot of confusion,
\nMy venus and mars, well placed in the stars,
\nBut my mind is still filled with delusion.<\/p>\n
This earth is spinning round and round,
\nMy mind is spinning too.
\nA million planets in outer space,
\nJust what am I supposed to do.<\/p>\n
In days of old, fortunes were told,
\nBy gypsies in long black gowns.
\nWith their tarot cards and their crystal balls,
\nAs they travelled to various towns.<\/p>\n
At night I dream, I dream of the stars,
\nSparkling in the sky,
\nAnd the heavens and the great constellations,
\nAs the signs in the zodiac go by.<\/p>\n
And astrologers today, I don’t understand,
\nWith their sutras and musty old books.
\nAre they magical soothsayers,
\nOr are they smooth talking crooks.<\/p>\n
A curse or a blessing, I don’t really know,
\nTo be born under a strange constellation.
\nThe ways of the planets I can’t understand.
\nThat’s one cause of my utter frustration.<\/p>\n
But as I gaze at the sun and the moon,
\nI feel a strong sensation,
\nOh Krishna, oh Lord, I am always amazed,
\nAt the wonder of Your creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
