Due to my web host, Ipower's migration to a new platform, I have been unable to upgrade AstrologyandMore.com. The data is in it but it is not showing, so the site does not have the latest astrology birth sign, free horoscope information. So I have decided to post it here till that site gets up. Hopefully my wonderful visitors will find this new blog and connect.
