| first looked up this amazing young man | | | | alone. |
| astrologically, I was not at all surprised to find that | | | | MARS SAGITTARIUS: Zac Sunderland goes to |
| his November 29, 1991 birth date showed he was | | | | great lengths to get what he desires. He’s |
| born a Sagittarius. Sagittarians love adventure. | | | | competitive and a born athlete. Did you know that |
| Each sun sign has several life purposes associated | | | | he was able to buy the boat for his adventure |
| with that personality and because of each | | | | with money he had saved repairing and sailing |
| soul’s free will, can choose among many | | | | dinghies during the summers? This says |
| pathways specific to its chosen sun sign. | | | | something important about the values taught to |
| Let me give you several very good examples of | | | | him by his parents. He lives his belief that, I |
| what Zac had to work with. Sagittarians have a | | | | guess the point is to have a dream, pursue it and |
| high likelihood of having intense interests in: | | | | don’t give up. He did this with a certain |
| Long distance travel | | | | amount of fearlessness which is amazing for |
| Foreign cultures | | | | someone so young. |
| Book publishing | | | | JUPITER VIRGO: Zac’s soul chose the |
| Religion | | | | parents he did because their lifestyle could afford |
| Courts of law | | | | him the opportunity to follow his life’s |
| Higher education | | | | work. He was sailing almost before he could walk |
| Exploration | | | | and even lived aboard a sailboat for much of his |
| Horses | | | | life. In his case, it proves that good fortune |
| Importing | | | | comes to those who make good choices. He |
| International commerce | | | | chose the right family to further his Life’s |
| Philosophy | | | | Work. |
| Foreign politics | | | | SATURN AQUARIUS: He likes to teach (Saturn) |
| Shipping | | | | on a world wide level and made use of this in a |
| Writing | | | | very unusual (Aquarian) way during his voyage |
| As you can see, he had many choices as to | | | | around the world. Because he believes in |
| where he would use his God-given gifts. He chose, | | | | promoting healthy eating and produce |
| at least so far, to make use of shipping (sort of) | | | | consumption, particularly among kids, he featured |
| and long distance travel. Does the soul choose to | | | | the Produce for Kids (his sponsor), |
| be born at a time that would allow it to capitalize | | | | Shuman’s RealSweet and |
| on certain energies to match its blueprint or does | | | | Mastronardi’s Sunset Produce logos on the |
| the soul come into this life and make a blueprint | | | | side of his sailboat. Win, win. He promotes |
| later to match its goals? I don’t know. | | | | something he believes in and receives money to |
| It’s a deep philosophical question. Oh, how | | | | help fund his venture. |
| very Sagittarian! | | | | URANUS CAPRICORN: I don’t know much |
| Major astrological influences on Zac | | | | about his father, but I’ll bet he is a very |
| Sunderland’s young life includes the | | | | unusual (Uranus) man (Capricorn). Zac has learned |
| following: | | | | leadership in non conventional ways and I suspect |
| Sun Sagittarius | | | | that he will achieve his Life’s Work in an |
| Moon Virgo | | | | out-of-the-ordinary way. Don’t be surprised |
| Mercury Sagittarius | | | | if Zac leads the way into yet undiscovered |
| Venus Libra | | | | professions. With this placement he kind of |
| Mars Sagittarius | | | | reminds me of the Brad Pitt movie, The Curious |
| Jupiter Virgo | | | | Case of Benjamin Button, where he was born old |
| Saturn Aquarius | | | | and as he aged became even younger. |
| Uranus Capricorn | | | | NEPTUNE CAPRICORN: Zac Sunderland switches |
| Neptune Capricorn | | | | back and forth between imagination and reality. |
| Pluto Scorpio | | | | He has a finely tuned intuitive streak that allows |
| Let’s take a look at what these influences | | | | him to solve problems based on his intuition rather |
| can do for Zac’s life purpose. | | | | than practical knowledge. In other words, he gets |
| SUN SIGNS SAGITTARIUS: A free spirit in | | | | practical results toward achievement when he |
| nature, he was born with the wanderlust spirit. | | | | makes use of his intuitive instincts. That sounds |
| Had he not been strongly influenced by his | | | | like a mouthful of marbles. Let me restate this: |
| parent’s interest in sailing, he might well | | | | whenever Zac wants to achieve something major |
| have gone into some other exploratory | | | | in his life and runs into obstacles, he has easy |
| adventure. He will always see the entire world, | | | | access to intuitive guidance which helps him easily |
| even the universe as his own back yard and | | | | find solutions. Intuition, yes it works. |
| playground. | | | | PLUTO SCORPIO: He will heal something major |
| MOON VIRGO: A place and reason for everything, | | | | and it will likely be personal as well as public. |
| and everything in its place. This is Zac | | | | Perhaps it’s the health of children, as seen |
| Sunderland’s underlying reason for | | | | by his boat sponsor. He can be much like a movie |
| everything he does. He always has a useful | | | | star in that his fame will be the pathway toward |
| motive for his actions and rarely makes rash | | | | having his voice or beliefs heard in order to make |
| decisions, unusual for a Sagittarius. His emotions | | | | changes. There are plenty of people out there |
| never get the best of him and I’ll bet he | | | | who have wonderful causes, but have trouble |
| found that quality quite useful on his dangerous | | | | being heard because no one knows who they are. |
| sail around the world. | | | | Not so for Zac, now that he has set a world |
| MERCURY SAGITTARIUS: This is a deep thinker | | | | record as the youngest person to circumnavigate |
| and I can just picture him out on the deck of his | | | | the seas alone. Now it’s time to use his |
| sailboat at night, thousands of miles from | | | | fame to step up for a healing cause. |
| anywhere, talking with God. Asking all the big | | | | It’s so interesting and encouraging to have |
| questions, such as, Why are we here? What is | | | | role models who strive to accomplish their |
| our purpose? Why is there war? he has a | | | | Life’s Work, who we can watch and cheer |
| close and personal relationship with the God of his | | | | for as they achieve their goals. When we look |
| mind. He needs to write about his adventures and | | | | closely at Zac Sunderland, we can see clearly |
| round the world record setting achievements. | | | | what he is supposed to do with his life and why. |
| He has the ability. | | | | It will be an adventure to watch how he |
| VENUS LIBRA: I know that part of what he | | | | capitalizes on his new found fame in order to |
| discovered on this solo journey was the incredible | | | | make the world a better place. |
| love of beauty he found in nature. He’s a | | | | You too have a purpose and Life’s Work |
