1) An AAC is a high quality file of music that is still condensed but not quite as small as an MP3 file but is more advanced. An MP3 file is a very condensed file of music that varies greatly in quality from very good quality to poor. The AIFF file is a very large music file that can be compressed but is still larger than an MP3 by far and also bigger than the AAC file. Supposedly the quality is better because of its size.

2) AAC size: 12.1 MB
   MP3 high quality size: 8.5 MB
   MP3 good quality size: 5.7 MB
   AIFF size: 62.3 MB

3) There is a difference between each of the files (though one so small on itunes that i didn't hear any difference at all). I expected the MP3 good quality to be a bit tinny but didn't honestly know it was less quality than the high quality.

4) I would choose the MP3 high quality to download onto my computer for all my files since most times MP3 fits better and i would have more room on my computer as well as my music device.

I already listed the personality traits in general of each sign but time to go in depth!

Today I'll explain Aries! 

Aries is a Fire sign (there are four elements: earth, Air, Fire, and Water) and tends to have a fiery and ambitious personality. They tend to be energetic and great leaders. Not only do they love taking command, but they also take care of those they command, rarely subjecting those below them to any type of danger or problems purposely. They love freedom and a good challenge. They are independent but also selfish. But they are motivated in fitness, especially through running and intense sports. They do not shy away from an argument if they believe they are right. They also tend to grow bored with life- especially one lacking a certain amount of adventure. If you are an Aries, careful of becoming single-minded and stubborn most of all.
In love Aries are very sensual and not afraid to try new things! In the career they take charge and lead well!

2. Taurus- April 20th- May 20th
3. Gemini- May 21st- June 20th 
4. Cancer-June 21st- July 22nd

Astrology

 Astrology

Astrology is the study of how the stars in the sky move and how the movement affects events and emotions in humans' lives. It is quite different than Astronomy because it has more of a spiritual, new age aspect to it, where as Astronomy is completely science and fact on the stars and planets and their movements and appearance. For a long time in history the two fields were the same but with high-tech telescopes and so much "scientific" thinking, Astrology has become more of a superstition to some. However many still look up their daily horoscope in the newspaper whether they believe it's true or not and even more people know their astrological sign. 

Whether fact or just for fun, I've always had an interest in it as soon as i learned a small amount. The idea of trying to predict the future, or at least being ready and less surprised always appealed to me. It's like the mysteries of the world can be peeled away, leaving humanity better informed, and not just groping around in the dark. And, if nothing else, Astrology is a great way to understand yourself and others psychologically.

In this blog, I would like to explain the building blocks of astrology and setting up your own natal chart to unlock secrets about your personality that you may have never realized, though they've always been there. Using your natal chart, you can find a good career path for your personality, make better friendships and relationships, and even avoid potential money issues. It's all written in the stars.
