Probably the earliest allusion to Mary in Christian literature is the phrase “born of woman” in Galatians 4:4, which was written before any of the Gospels. On the other hand, the three incidents that belong to the life of Jesus contain elements of a pronouncedly human character, perhaps even the suggestion that she did not fully understand Jesus' true mission. Only in the narratives of the Nativity and the Passion of Christ is her place a significant one: her acceptance of the privilege conferred on her in the Annunciation is the solemn prologue to the Christmas story not only does she stand at the foot of the Cross, but in the Easter story “the other Mary” who came to the tomb of Jesus (Matthew 28:1) is not she-according to traditional interpretations, because, having kept in her heart what he was to be, she knew that the body of Jesus would not be there. Even if one takes these scenes as literal historical accounts, they do not add up to an integrated portrait of Mary. She appears in the following incidents in the Gospels: the Annunciation the visit with Elizabeth, her kinswoman and the mother of John the Baptist, the precursor of Jesus (Luke 1:39 ff.) the birth of Jesus and the presentation of him in the Temple (Luke 2:1 ff.) the coming of the Magi and the flight to Egypt (Matthew 2:1 ff.) the Passover visit to Jerusalem when Jesus was 12 years old (Luke 2:41 ff.) the marriage at Cana in Galilee, although her name is not used (John 2:1 ff.) the attempt to see Jesus while he was teaching (Mark 3:31 ff.) and the station at the cross, where, apparently widowed, she was entrusted to the disciple John (John 19:26 ff.). We are the only masters on board the success of our projects, relationships, and affairs.The first mention of Mary is the story of the Annunciation, which reports that she was living in Nazareth and was betrothed to Joseph ( Joseph, Saint) (Luke 1:26 ff.) the last mention of her (Acts 1:14) includes her in the company of those who devoted themselves to prayer after the ascension of Jesus into heaven. They reveal the future and are valuable guides that tell us the path to take and the proper behavior to adopt to manage all situations while knowing that our destiny belongs to us. Does the secret of happiness not lie in living your dreams while respecting yourself and others? Learn to be yourself and you will do the right thing! Equally specialized in oracles and Tarology, for Mary, the Tarots enlighten us.
One of her favourite quotes is from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's novel, The Little Prince: Let your life be consumed by dreams, so that your dreams aren't consumed by life. This is a rite-of-passage novel, where the stars begin to have real significance. Her other keen interests are reading and the cinema. As an editor, she likes sharing her knowledge with others and today offers us her didactic articles on the vast subjects of the Cosmos and its impact on our personality.
This is a Fire sign and she is always on the move and overflowing with energy! For this reason, after studying Sociology in University for five years, she moved on very quickly to studying the planets and their influence on nature and human behaviour. Mary was born on the 15th December and her birth sign is Sagittarius.
