“NJ woman celebrates 100th birthday – at work”
Instead of dwelling on the predicted storms and violence that are so easy to find these days… let’s follow the miracles for awhile longer…
Not only did the Lions win Sunday… but last week Astrid Thoenig celebrated her 100th birthday! …and she’s still working! Let’s all wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! …and of course let’s look at her chart …it takes a story about age to get reporters to report the date of birth.
I bet she can remember the days when DOB’s were a standard part of journalism that stated in the first paragraph, …who, what, when, where, and why. …so… let’s do a basic Noon chart (no time available yet)… for a lovely Libra lady born September 24th 1909 in Parsippany NJ…
Those with a ‘Grand Square’ and ‘T-bars’ in their chart… take heart because Astrid has survived them all… and is still around. The strength to balance these squares is the Sun conjunct Jupiter = strong life force, and in trine to Moon in Saturn ruled Capricorn = disciplined emotions …and she has certainly made the efforts to use these supportive trines (effort is what makes them work) to meet her challenges…
…as a survivour of the 1918 flu that took her father and a sister… the death of two husbands… Being that she’s not my client, I won’t go any further into the personal details of her life that can clearly be seen in the chart.
…the real secret? …in her own words,
“It’s another day – it’s hard to explain… I don’t feel old, and I don’t think old.”
Maybe it’s all just a state of mind? Let’s take the example from this marvelous person who has survived the Flu epidemic of 1918-19, two World Wars, the Great Depression, various other wars, viruses, storms, and all the financial booms and busts over the past century.
She has seen a lot of politicians and celebrities come and go… and has been typing since the iron Underword manual typewriters to the modern soft touch computer keyboard… witnessed the propeller driven biplanes evolve into the Space Shuttle Ships…
…and I occasionally boast of remembering when the Bat Plane had a propeller… she could be the sweet Grandmother that bought me the Batman comic! With the liberal attitude, ‘well, it does encourage his reading… and art appreciation’… Love and hugs from all of us, Astrid! …you go, Girl!
