Or should I say - an SMS abbreviation.

BION stands for 'BELIEVE IT OR NOT'. Sounds a little clunkish, I must admit.

I seem to want to use this phrase often, particularly on LL, and wondered if any other would do instead. These could be -

Would you believe - WYB
Hard to believe - HTB (this one sounds like a disease!)

Any suggestions?

Essay completed. Now I can relax and indulge in wishful thinking. The solar eclipse is bang on my Sun at 1 degree Scorpio, so something good should come off it.

Diwali, the day Goddess Parvati bestows the world with wealth and prosperity, also falls today - the day of the eclipse. BION Parvati (the asteroid) is at O degree Virgo in my chart, sextile Sun, and the eclipse exact!

So, I am a co-inventor, as it were. Fine if others thought of it first. And now more people have heard it so it might just catch on. It wasn't being commonly used, was it?
