I am Lela Galadriel, a Scorpio persona and soul. I'm over 30 and glad to be alive, as the song goes. I am married to a most excellent Barbarian named Paris, whom I married May 10, 1997 at Scarborough Faire in Texas, a somewhat pagan ceremony that included swords, runes, and soap bubbles representing Spirit. Paris and I had been friends for about 10 years, and we (of the people we know) were the only ones surprised. We're a good team, and we're still best friends and stronger than ever. We live in Denton, outside the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, and all things considered, are very content with our lives.

Albert Stephens When Albert's 4th birthday got close, his Dad asked, "What do you want for your birthday?" "A book on planets," was Albert's unhesitating reply. "But you don't even know how to read!" "I don't care, that's what I want."
Thus began a love of astronomy that is still fascinating. When Albert was 17, he began to read the world's spiritual literature, delighting in the common threads of love and trust in the Universe and the Divine that ran through them. These two joys in life have come together in Astrology. Using both Western and India's Vedic traditions, there is a whole new Astrological Landscape opening before us.
