What Legacy Will YOU Leave Behind? Why these words of tribute to #DavidBowie resonated with me so strongly

Of all the social media posts about David Bowie's Passing, this one, by astrologer Jonathan Cainer, is the one that resonated with me most:

"I was 15 year when I went to a concert, in Bradford, expecting David Bowie - and got Ziggy Stardust! This versatile genius embodied the old astrological adage: 'In each full personal birth chart is the potential to express every sign.' He had the drive of an Aries, the voice of a Taurean, the wit of a Gemini, The empathy of a Cancerian, the swagger of a Leo, the observant eye of a Virgo, the charm of a Libran, the certainty of a Scorpio, the aim of a Sagittarian, the integrity of an Aquarian and the fluidity of a Piscean. This Capricorn reached within, found every hidden talent and became a starman." ~Jonathan Cainer

He was a musician, artist, husband, and father who influenced, art and fashion as well as music. This is an amazing tribute to him, and makes you think:

What will be said or written about YOU when the time comes? What legacy will you leave behind?

  10. It saddens me that another great artist has passed. He was a legendary genius in his craft. I guess when I leave this life, the only legacy I can leave behind is that we should fight for what is right, even if it will entail a lot of sacrifice.

  16. That is a good question. So many of us live day to day and allow very non-important things symbolize our lives like social statuses and wealth. I hope that I am remembered for being a humanitarian who spread hope and love to the world.

  18. I remember when my daughter was born I wrote in a small book that I hope she new that I was understanding and felt she could tell me anything and I felt that would be enough to stake my claim. Now i'm wondering and I hope that I touched some ones and that I made it better !!!
