Numerology

2007-02-28T01:49:00.003-08:00

Numerology a section of Jyotish based on simple mathematic and numbering. It is a language that allows you to express and expand the horizon of your spiritual awareness.

The beauty of this concept of numbers in numerology is that they are naturally and inherently joined.

Numerology is used as a particle method of understanding your own nature deep and deeper. Also it is used to under stand your talent and you life goals. It offers you the opportunities in advance that may arise in future ahead.

Today its popularity is growing and Numerology consultants are consulted with increasing regularity and with respect for every thing from personal things like romance, marriage to business decisions.

It is an ancient spiritual predicting really accrue and able to read your personality. The only main thing is that the input data should be accurate.

Basically numerology is self-help tool. It reveals aspect of your inner self and also your personality, character and self-confident. It gives you self-knowledge. And self-knowledge is the key to success and freedom. Having knowledge of your inner strengths and weaknesses will help you in many aspect of life. It also offer you, your inside offers, opportunities and challenges you have feed and in future.

Numerology, guides you in your life for your betterment.

To do simple mathematics, you need mainly your date of birth which consist of date, month and year in four digit also your full name, first, middle and last or as per your birth certificate. Also we need it any short name or any marriage name.

Using this information you can formulate your chart for numerology

The effect of changing name is really considerable. We formulate our numerology chart base on our date of birth and our full name. And if we charge name, the almost 50% numbers changes. But the new name should be well familiar to you and it must have gone into your inner mind and integrated into your subconscious. Name changed legally is not that much important till it goes into your inside mind.

No any science can predict your heath problem exactly, but only the periods and cycles. Same way numerology can predict your cycle periods of life and tell you which period of your life will be more rewarding and which will be suffering. However every person is having opportunity to change his suffering period into good or at least least suffering.

Numerology can be very highly accurate in such prediction. However your ‘karma’ can change the future life comparable to your effect you have made. Little effect will bring small reward and great effort will bring big rewards. So numerology or any prediction science or theory will discover your future life to guide you to take more effort on certain period which are not good for you.

Can numerology predict my Death?

Practically no, but theoretically yes. Same like numerology other prediction sciences can also predict the cycle of period of your life, but no science can predict it perfect. Why it’s like that? I explain it below.

When we take birth, we bring our ‘Karmas’ along with us. Later on we get our ‘name’ and a numerologist predict our future by utilizing our date of birth, our full name and tells our life cycle periods are like, like and like this. At that time assume it is a perfect prediction. After time the numerologist can predict our death time period. But in prediction. Science’s rules, the prediction of death is not allowed. Then also suppose he charted out our death, it cannot be perfect. Why like this? This is because of your Karma and the effort you make in your life span. So your present ‘Karma’ can charge the prediction of death which is due to your previous ‘Karma’. So even though it is predictable, it cannot fix or prefect. That’s why our ancient says that your hands are your God.

How Numerology Works

2007-02-28T01:49:00.001-08:00

What is chart in Numerology?

Chart in numerology is an arrangement of single digit numbers under different heading derived from your date of birth and your full name.

How do we derive numbers?

Numerology deals mostly with single digit number, from 1 to 9. Exception to this rule is some two-digit number of special meanings. And arigathmatic for this is very simple.

The letters of your name correspond to numbers. East letter represent a number by virtue of its position in the alphabet. For example A=1 and B=2 and I=9 again J= 1 and so an. See the numbering below.

A=1 H = 8 | O = 6 | V = 4
B=2 I = 9 | P = 7 | W = 5
C=3 I = 1 | Q = 8 | X = 6
D=4 K = 2 | R = 9 | Y = 7
E=5 L = 3 | S = 1 | Z = 8
F=6 M = 4 | T = 2
G=7 N = 5 | U = 3

Now to derive single digit Number.

Let’s take name ‘MARY’ as an example.

Now will change this name to numbers.

M = 4
A = 1
R = 9
Y = 7
-------------
21

Now we will convert this number into single digit number as follow.

2+1=3

Some times in second stage we get another two digit number and then we have to go one step further and by adding again those numbers we get a single digit number. Like, total 39 again becoming 12 and we have to add it as 1 + 2 = 3

What is the Philosophy?

The universe is functioning orderly and premise of Numerology is human life. This orderliness can be seen in every aspect of nature like season, flower, fruits, days and rights. Even gestation and birth of a child also represent this orderliness’. Everybody is having his own name and that name once integrated with his inner consciousness if produce sound, harmony and melody through out the body when it is celled. And it stared reflecting his inner nature. Master Numbers

There are two number 11 & 22 called master numbers, when routed in single digit number need special attention. They posses more potential than any other number. They are highly a charged, difficult to handle and require effect to integrate into one’s personality.

The first 11 number is more powerfully of all and is channel to the sub conscious and inner nature.

It is having all the aspects of digit 2, charged with charisma. Leadership and inspiration. It is number with duality. It walk on the border of Greatness and self destruction.

22 is also most powerful number. It is having ability to turn the entire big-big dream into reality. 11 is most powerful number, but most of the time it will be in dilemma. And 22 is the most successful because of self-confidence.

This both master numbers are like always pressure cooker and need proper release and guidance at early age.

‘Karma’

As I told before, Numerology is based an the ancient idea that our soul takes birth again and again on the earth and brings it’s ‘karma’ along with it. The number that indicate a Karmic debt are 13,14,16 and 19.these number are haring a great importance when they are coming into core numbers, like path, heart’s desire, expression, personality, birth day.

Karmic dept numbers can be found in different places in chart.

The characters of these ceramic debt numbers will see in detail latter on

Your birthday in Numerology.

The time, date and the occasion of your entrance in this world is of the most exciting moment in your life. You stepped into the reality world, in the form of human being and carry all the ceramic debt along with you.

Even that time you are the person of unique characteristic. Like your DNA you are also unique in nature, physics, chemistry, inner mind and future.

The moment your birth provides that broad outline for your life. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been prepared for you.

The most important number in numerology is based on your birth date. This number is called life path number. It gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges and lessons that we will encounter in our future.

How to find your life Path Number

Your life path number is the some of your total birth date number, date, month and year.

Let’s say you were born on 25th December 1964, i.e. 25-12-1964. Now let’s convert as below

25 = 2 + 5 = 7
12 = 1 + 2 = 3
1964 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2
Now add these single digit numbers together.

7+3+2 = 12 =1+2 =3
the life path number is 3

Numerology's Personal Day; When to Start That Important Job

2007-02-28T01:48:00.003-08:00

Ever have one of those days when everything goes right for you? When you make that presentation, or interview for that job and you can do no wrong; everything just clicks. Numerology can predict those days for you, those days when the universe is on your side. We call those days 'Personal days'.

Calculating your Personal Days

To determine if a particular day is a Personal Day for you, we need to calculate the Universal Day number for a particular day and then compare it to your Life path number. The Universal day number is calculated by adding all the digits of the Gregorian date together via faddic addition to get a single digit.

For example, Valentines day 2007 is a Universal day (7). The calculation is:

2 + 14 + 2007 = 2023 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7.

Your Life Path is calculated by adding all the digits of your date of birth with faddic addition:

(For example Johnny Depp, born June 9th, 1963 ; 6 + 9 + 1963 = 1978 = 1978 = 25 = 7)

When the Universal day number equals your Life Path number, then the day is a 'Personal Day' for you; the universe is literally in step with you that day. So, Johnny Depp had a 'Personal Day' on Valentines day this year.

Biorhythms and Bad Days

In a similar vein, you can have days when the universe works against you. Biorhythms predict that certain days can be bad for you. On these days, you will tend to be more accident prone and need to take extra care to avoid mis-haps. To my mind, one of the more interesting situations where these were used was when the Ohmi Railway company in Japan, used Biorhythims to predict bad days for their Bus drivers in the 1970's.

They would produce a card, and notify drivers when they were scheduled to have a bad day ahead of time. They claimed to have a 50% drop in accident rates for their busses when they implemented this.

Conclusion

By knowing your Life Path number, and calculating the Universal Day, you can know ahead of time when to plan your critical meetings, to get the universe working with you. Perhaps part of the effect is a placebo, caused by our knowing ahead of time that today is our lucky day, but even so, if it works you should use it. As for me, I never start a really important job in my life except on a 'Personal day'.

Match Your Spouse Astrologically

2007-02-28T01:48:00.001-08:00

Astrology can forecast a suitable marriage partner based on a detailed analysis of the horoscopes of the bride and the bridegroom. In Western Astrology , emphasis is placed upon mutual rising signs, though at present many of my Western counter-parts are considering the importance of the moon in a horoscope. For this the nature of the rising sign at birth and lord of the sign or house is examined. All angular signs or houses are grouped under triplicities.

The basic approach is to classify the signs as belonging to the four elements viz., fire, earth, air and water starting with Aries. Then we the movable, the fixed and the common signs starting with Aries. Also we have the odd and even signs, male and female signs etc. Thus if the marriage partners belong to the fiery signs ( Aries, Leo and Sagittarius ) there will be agreement in general. The owners Mars, Sun and Jupiter respectively are mutual friends, hence, zodiac compatibility exists. But they also represent respectively the movable, the fixed and the common signs!

Thus there will be differences in mentalities or psychological content! Factors like the lord of the rising sign, its strength, placement in the horoscope. play a vital role in astrological prognostications. So to assume compatibility if the rising signs are the same, is a mistaken belief. Zodiac Compatibility is all about matching the mutual strengths and weaknesses of marriage partners and understanding each other. A lot of weaknesses get camouflaged in courtships as every effort is made to impress the other. Hence, the importance of mental framework and psychological build need not be stressed.

These can be ascertained from a minute study of the moon in one's horoscope. Moon is the ruler of Cancer, gets exalted in Taurus, is depressed in Scorpio and is considered weak in the 6th, 8th and the 12th houses. Again, it should be seen whether it is waxing or waning. Indian astrology goes further to study the birth star and its pada or quarter i.e., a division of 200 minutes (angular). Each of the (27) twenty-seven constellations excluding Abhijit has a lord or owner in triplicity starting with Krittika who is presided over by the Sun. Indian astrology also considers the moon for time-based predictions which is known as the dasa system, the well-known being Vimshottari i.e., 120 years cycle. The timing of the marriage will be detrimental if the dasas do not match or correspond to each other. Further, divisional charts, especially, Navamsa , as well as Gochara or transit effects and the twelve essential factors of matching ( detailed in an earlier article) are important.

Astrology and Numerology; Why You Need Both

2007-02-28T01:47:00.000-08:00

In critical applications in science and industry, backup systems are a must. Weather it's loss of availability of your ATM or Television, of Loss of Life due to equipment failure in a hospital, having a backup is just good common sense. And in analyzing your life and your opportunities; having more than one chart, one way of looking at things is equally as important. After all, it's your life we're looking at.

Redundancy - Tell me Three Times

One of the best ways to insure that information gets from one point to another is to send multiple copies. "Tell me Three times" is a simple method of correcting messages that may have been damaged in transit. The idea is that with (3) copies, at least two of them will have the correct data at any one point in the message.

This is true weather we're talking about text, music, or video. This sampling and correcting process is built into the machines that read our CD's and DVD's. It's why even slightly damaged disk can still be read and played - the process filters out the errors and gives us true information.

This idea can be taken to our Astrology and Numerology charts. By getting both charts and comparing them, we're literally getting a second opinion on our life. And who doesn't want a second opinion on something that important.

Astronumerology - Over 100 Life Combinations

When astrologer Jordan Simon, and numerologist Pamela Hobs Bell got together in 1998 and devised Astronumerology, they were building on this idea of using both tools to produce a quick personality reference which could be easily used by anyone. The combination of (12) Sun signs and (9) Life Paths gives you 108 different personality slots to describe people's general tendencies; a much wider selection than either of the two sciences on their own.

However, the Sun Sign and Life Path values are only the most general traits in a person's chart. They give you a broad category, a thumbnail sketch as it were, of a person's chart. The depth and detail that someone needs to know their inner self is missing here.

How To Get Approved For A High Risk Motorcycle Loan And Financing

2007-02-23T22:00:00.001-08:00

Are you in the market for a motorcycle, but have bad credit and need a high risk motorcycle loan? Well don’t worry the goal of this article is provide you everything you need to know about getting approved for a high risk motorcycle loan.

First you must understand how motorcycle lenders go about classifying you as high risk. On the average, when a motorcycle lender is looking to approve any motorcycle financing they have a much higher cut off in the credit score range than an auto lender. This exists whether you have good or bad credit.

So with that said an auto lender may approve a FICO credit score of 610 as not a high risk, but a motorcycle lender would most likely classify a FICO credit score of 610 as a high risk motorcycle loan and may not offer an approval on it.

There are two reasons for this:

1. Motorcycles are much harder to repossess in good condition than an automobile. As a result of this simple fact, if you default on your motorcycle loan it is a higher risk to the motorcycle lender than an automobile lender because it is much harder to repossess a motorcycle in good condition than a car.

With all the new motorcycle riders entering the industry there is a high incident of some form of minor or major damage on many motorcycles, which translates in to a lower amount per unit a lender gets when they repossess a motorcycle for a customer that chooses to get bad credit over paying for their motorcycle loan. The damage could be from the repossession agency or the actual owner but the simple fact is motorcycle fetch much less at repossession auctions than automobiles.

This simple fact is one reason good and poor credit motorcycle loans are offered at much higher interest rates than a car and has an overall lower approval percentages when compared with cars.

2. The average motorcycle tends to depreciate very fast. Since motorcycles have higher accident rates and there are many people who once they crash do not pay off their loan, this results in higher defaults for motorcycle lenders. This is another reason motorcycle loan rates are higher and motorcycles are hard to get approved for.

Ok, now that you have a background in how a motorcycle lender views a motorcycle loan, let’s look at how you can get approved for a high risk motorcycle loan.

Step one is to really understand your credit report and credit score. Sure if you are looking for high risk motorcycle financing, you probably have had some credit issues in the past. But you never know how those credit issues played out on your credit report until you get a copy of it.

Take a look and make sure everything reported on your credit report is actually true. See every year 1000s of people just like you find creditors made errors on their credit report, which negativity impacted their credit score. If your FICO score shows a 610, but there is 1 error on your credit report you could easily raise your FICO credit score to 625 or higher by getting the error fixed. Always get errors fixed on your credit report before you submit a high risk motorcycle loan application.

Step two is to clean up your credit card debt. I know you are probably thinking I can not do this, but it can make a huge difference in helping you get approved for high risk motorcycle financing. See motorcycle lenders do not like to see your personal credit cards maxed out. Therefore, before you submit your application for motorcycle financing you should try to pay down your credit card debt. Even if you have to do it for the short term it can help you tremendously with getting approved.

For instance, if you have a 610 FICO credit score you will probably be declined if you have all your credit cards maxed out. However, if you are able reduce your credit card debt by 50% you stand a much better chance of getting approved for a high risk motorcycle loan. This is a simple concept but you will be surprised by how many motorcycle buyers fail to do this and never get approved.

Step three and the final step is too finally submit your motorcycle loan application. There are many lenders that specialize in high risk motorcycle loans. I recommend tying about 2 or 3 online motorcycle lenders and then move to your local credit unions or financing provide by the dealership such as Suzuki Finance, Honda Financing, Kawasaki Credit Card or the Polaris Star Card.

How To Get A Used Motorcycle Loan

2007-02-23T21:59:00.003-08:00

The world of used motorcycle loans is traditionally confusing to many motorcycle buyers involved with purchasing a used motorcycle but it does not have to be if you are equipped with a bit of knowledge.

When looking for used motorcycle financing, you should first consider where you will purchase the motorcycle from. For instance, will you purchase from a dealer, an individual or a vehicle auctions?

This could highly affect your used motorcycle loan decision and the direction you will choose to focus your energy with getting your loan worked out.

Here are some things to consider with each option:

1. Auction Purchase: If you are thinking of purchasing your used motorcycle at an auction it is highly recommend that you have your cash ready to buy ahead of time. Therefore, if you are going to finance the used motorcycle from the auction you will need to line up the financing first as most auctions do not offer financing.

There are several online motorcycle lenders offer used motorcycle loans, so this is a good option. Basically these motorcycle lenders will approve you online and then send you a check for the amount you are approved for to purchase your motorcycle.

Another option for your auction purchase may be to get check your local credit union for used motorcycle loans. Sometime the credit union may offer it under a personal loan but it is all the same.

2. Individual Purchase: An individual purchase will work similar to an auction purchase.

You will need cash in hand to make the purchase so you will have to line up your used motorcycle financing first before the actual purchase. Online motorcycle lenders or your local bank and credit union can help you with this and send you a cashier’s check.

Most individuals prefer a cashiers check or money order so be sure to ask them before you drive all the way to their house to make the purchase.

3. Dealer Purchase: With a dealer purchase you will have a variety of options for used motorcycle loans.

You can still choose to use online motorcycle lenders as they tend to have highly competitive motorcycle loan rates or you can use the dealerships financing. They can get you approved fast and money in your hand in 24 hours typically so making the purchase is simple. You will not have to go to the dealer and wait an hour while they do all the paperwork.

Dealers normally offer consumer financing through GE Capital (AKA GE Money) or HSBC Retail Services which is an option as well. These offers could be on a credit card or a standard installment loan and you motorcycle loan rate will be based on your credit history.

Don’t forget about your credit union and local banks as they can handle dealer purchased as well.

In the end financing a used motorcycle does not have to be difficult, you can easily use online motorcycle lenders for used motorcycle loans at competitive rates or even choose a dealer or local credit union. Online motorcycle lenders may prove to be the best option because you can arrange them in the comfort of your own home without waiting hours in a bank or dealer.

Take Responsibility And Wear A Motorcycle Helmet

2007-02-23T21:59:00.001-08:00

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), when comparing a automobile to a motorcycle rider the motorcycle rider has a 35 percent greater chance of getting hurt or dying in a automobile accident compared to a driver in a automobile. When wearing a helmet it is less likely that the motorcyclists will receive a serious head injury and more likely to survive the accident according to the The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Safety helmets for motorcycle users are the law in many states, optional in others. Especially so if the helmet is rated for safety and is properly fit to the wearer. Safety is what it's all about right.

When wearing a motorcycle helmet it will protect your head against the following, it protects your face, your ears and you are able to have an intercom system to talk to others. A helmet protects your head and your face from injuries. There are many different types of helmets ranging from helmets that have a face guard and helmets that have an open face so you can feel the wind on your face, helmets can be customized to your specifications. Looking for full face helmets can be a challenge. On helmets the face shield can retract by lifting up and down.

Because Motorcycles lack the protection of other vehicles, such as a car or truck, severe injury is much more likely. For comfort and protection they generally have fabric and foam interiors. Motorcycle helmets act as a protection device for your head.

When looking at helmets to purchase don’t let the price determine which helmet you will purchase, you will need to look at the protection factor it can provide and how it is rated. Helmet design considerations are all about the tolerable impact the head can handle, which the soft linings provide as protection, and the exterior protection from punctures.

When trying on a helmet press down on the helmet and make sure that it fits properly and it feels comfortable and check to see if it surrounds your entire head. Before putting a helmet on a child, it is a good idea to check for defects such as cracks, loose padding, frayed straps or exposed metal that could be unsafe for the child.

Even if you don’t choose to wear a motorcycle helmet for safety reasons, there are other reasons. With many designs and makers to choose from, you would surely have your hands full finding one that you will like. There are a lot of motorcycle helmets you can choose from. The designs are made to match the likings of the women to provide more appeal.

Safety helmets successfully reduce the chances of head injury to a great extent. For instance, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has estimated in a report that if you do not wear a helmet there is a 40% chance that the rider will suffer a head injury and a 15% chance of it being a fatal head injury.

Motorcycle Sound Systems: What Is The Right System For You?

2007-02-23T21:56:00.000-08:00

Motorcycle sound systems have come a long way in the past couple of years. We all like to hear the wind and rumble of our bikes, but if we are riding for a few hours it's nice to hear some tunes to help the miles roll by.

In the past the choices for motorcycle sound systems have been somewhat limited. Bulky am/fm radios with less-than-spectacular speakers often provided more grief and inconsistent reception than they were worth.

Well, that has changed for the better with the modern electronic revolution. With the advent of i-pods, satellite radio, and MP-3 players, the music of our choice is more available than ever.

The current offerings of sound systems vary widely but most offer better performance than even the top of the line models of just a few years ago.

There are several things to consider when looking at motorcycle sound systems. The ability to plug in your MP-3, satellite radio, and i-pod provides a lot more flexibility in your sound system.

Typically, if you are going on a road trip outside of your usual haunts your standard am/fm radio will be losing channels and you'll need to search for more.

If your sound system incorporates the new technologies you'll be able to listen to your favorite tunes for miles and miles without monkeying around with channel surfing.

Another advancement is the sound delivery system. Gone are the old speakers that strained to deliver clear, crisp sound at 60 mph. New external speakers are driven by small yet powerful amps that deliver clear crisp sound at any speed.

Another excellent advance is the in-helmet audio. The current offerings provide an excellent sound with no external speakers to clog up space on your bike.

Whatever system you choose, just keep in mind that technology will be constantly advancing so if you can get a system that is flexible it will allow you to upgrade as new technologies become available.

Bajaj Kristal Review

2007-02-23T21:52:00.000-08:00

Bajaj returns….

The launch of bajaj kristal

Bajaj is set to regain the scooterette market with Kristal and Blade.

Can Kristal meet its peers?

Honda entered the scooterette market with the 102-cc gearless Activa in 2001. Activa is the market leader in the segment and sells nearly 28,000 units a month. Hero Honda rolled out its first 100cc gearless scooter the “Pleasure” across India in 2005, is proved to be a successful model. Bajaj is going to launch a full-size scooter Blade for men (could feature a 150cc engine), which will compete with the Kinetic Blaze (India’s first maxi scooter-featuring 165cc engine). Bajaj launched its new 95cc scooter Kristal targeting the fair sex (women)

A bulb to light up the storage area (only offered in scooty pep plus) and a beeper prevents the seat from accidentally closing at a fuel station and protects your child from crushing fingers. Accelerator lock and side stand alarm offers you better safety.

The Zodiac Connection and the Triangle of Compatibility

2007-02-14T21:29:00.004-08:00

What has a clock, the elements and animals got to do with one another? The answer is compatibility.

In Chinese Astrology, the year in which we were born is represented by one of the 12 animals in the zodiac and one of the 5 elements in the universe i.e. wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each of the animal symbolism is associated with an element which has a polarity of Yin and Yang. For example, a person can be born in the year of the Rat with the element of Yin Wood. This is based on the Chinese system of counting the years known as the 60 year cycle. In this cycle, the years are formed by the interaction of 10 celestial stems and 12 terrestrial branches. These stems and branches are also called heavenly stems and earthly branches, simply because our luck is governed partly by heaven’s decree and partly by human action. The 60 year cycle is an important feature in Chinese Astrology known as the Four Pillars of Destiny which takes into consideration the year, month, day and hour of birth. For want of simplicity, we can take just the year pillar to determine the compatibility between animal signs.

Most people are familiar with the 12 animal signs in the zodiac namely Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

But do you know that by looking at the positions of these animals relative to one another on the face of a clock, we can find out their compatibility?

For instance, if you belonged to the animal sign of Rat, you are most compatible with the Dragon and the Monkey. How? Well, a clock has 12 divisions based on the hour hand. By positioning the Rat at 12 o’clock, you can see that the Dragon and the Monkey, being 5th and 9th in the order by which they take their place in the Zodiac, are 4 and 8 positions apart respectively from the Rat and therefore, takes up positions at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock on the face of the clock. In other words, they are also 4 hourly apart from one another. On the face of the clock, they formed a “triangle of compatibility” also known as 3 harmonies based on the Four Pillars of Destiny. Hence, these animals get along well with one another. By extension, all animal signs that are 4 numbers apart in the zodiac are considered most compatible with one another

The combinations of animal signs and their intrinsic elements that form the triangles of compatibility are listed below:-

Pig (Yin Water) - Rabbit (Yin Wood) - Goat (Yin Earth)
Tiger (Yang Wood) - Horse (Yang Fire) - Dog (Yang Earth)
Snake (Yin Fire) - Rooster (Yin Metal) - Ox (Yin Earth)
Monkey (Yang Metal) - Rat (Yang Water) - Dragon (Yang Earth)

If you were to observe closely, in each of the above 3 animal combinations, they are all 4 numbers apart in the zodiac and correspondingly, 4 hourly apart on the face of the clock.

On the contrary, if these animal signs are 6 numbers apart from one another in the zodiac or directly opposite each other on the face of the clock, they are considered to be most incompatible. For example, the Rat and the Horse, being 1st and 7th in the zodiac, takes 1 o’clock and 7 o’clock respectively on the face of the clock and hence, formed one of the most incompatible twosomes in Chinese Astrology. In other words, they clash with one another.

The following are the 6 clashes between the animal signs in the zodiac:-

Rat – Horse
Ox – Goat
Tiger – Monkey
Rabbit – Rooster
Dragon – Dog
Snake – Pig

Numerology Readings Aren't Always Accurate

2007-02-14T21:29:00.003-08:00

I've done hundreds of Numerology readings over the years, and almost all of them have errors and contradictions in one form or another. The question is, why is this so, and how can you determine what's true and what's false in your own reading.

The answer lies in the method used to create both Numerology and Astrology readings - something I call slotting.

People are more complex than Nine categories

In Numerology, most values in your chart are reduced to a single whole digit number (1 through 9) and then referred to a table of traits / attributes that correspond to that number. But, nine categories is simply not diverse enough to cover all of the ground of human possibilities. This is particularly true of the primary values in a chart; your Life Path, Birthday, and Goal numbers. To compensate for this, numerology charts will list several traits for each category which are tendencies of people with that value. Most of these traits will be true for you - but some will not.

Note that this is also a problem in Astrology where we're dealing with 12 Sun signs or Moon signs. Twelve slots presents us with the same problem as Nine do. People don't always fit perfectly into one category, and some of the exceptions to the classic traits can make a reading seem completely wrong for that person.

The best example I can think of for this in Numerology readings is the tendency for Life Path (7) Loners to have a strong spiritual potential, and be drawn to the occult. This tendency, though usually very strong in these people can be completely absent, making them question their entire reading.

Filtering out the Truth

What is needed is some interpretation; reading your chart and discerning what's true and what's false. The best method I've found for doing this is to use a form of 'Map Dousing'. Sit down with a printed copy of your Numerology reading, a couple of highlighter pens in different colors, and a small pendulum. Go over your report, marking those things you know to be true in one color, and those you know to be false in another.

When you come across a trait that you're not certain about, use your pendulum in your primary hand, while pointing to the trait on the page with your other hand and ask your subconscious to show you if the trait is true for you or not.

Secret Knowledge Revealed

The most interesting parts of any Numerology reading are those areas where your conscious mind does not immediately know if a trait is true or not. This is where we can learn and grow as a person. Here is where our hidden strengths and weaknesses are revealed to us. And, though someone else can take your report, and use a pendulum to check out unusual details - no one can do as good a job as you can.

Using Satellite Photographs, Topographic Maps, Google Earth 3D For Feng Shui Research

2007-02-14T21:29:00.001-08:00

Recently, I came across a software which allows me to access great deal of satellite photos. Then an idea comes to my mind, I can perform some research with these satellite photos. If we have access to topographic maps, aerial photographs, together with the use of satellite photos and maps, we will be to make a great deal of landform research without leaving our homes.

This software which gives me the access to satellite photographs is Google Earth 3D. Although it is a free software, it also provides paid premium services. As a start, the free version is good enough for me as it already allows me to access the satellite images of great deal of cities (New York, London, Beijing, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, and alot more) and places. I can even locate the house I'm staying in with Google Earth 3D. With the software, we can also tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings, providing even more flexibility for the research.

Besides displaying these satellite photographs, Google Earth 3D also let us find the distances between places, which is another big plus.

We can perform research on things like incoming roads, incoming water, outgoing water, incoming mountains around the places of our interests. These satellite photographs should provide us with great deal of information and idea of the places before we personally going down to perform even more refine research. The terrain feature and the ability to zoom in and out also allow us to perform analysis from the town aspect, or even from the city aspect. We can trace the rivers which run over a great deal of distances, the great mountains which link to the smaller mountains. There is some much we can do with this free resource.

Today's high tech resources have enable us to carry out even more research, and the access to these satellite photographs is definitely one of the fantastic resources out there.

Astrology, History And Man

2007-02-14T21:28:00.002-08:00

Astrology has played a role in history throughout the ages as man has accepted its theories and over time, discarding it at times and re-inventing it with passion and attraction other times.

Astrology is thought of by many as a reflection of Man's existence in the universe. The general concept behind astrology is that all living beings or organisms are governed by forces and regular occurring patterns of recognizable energy.

Nature's law relates the macro to the micro in that every living organism from the simplest form of life embodies a higher more complex form where the micro form is but only a reflection of the macro whole.

Man's recorded history relieves startling evidence that astrology has been a voice that serves and acts within everyone. History has mapped man's journey throughout the many changes from the most basic and instinctive forms of life through to the progress, development and advancement of our senses, the structure of the brain and the connection of higher consciousness via our minds.

Man's evolution and destiny depends on each unfolding in its proper place.

The seven major energy centers of vital importance within the physiology of the human body are referred to as chakras and they are aligned from the seventh center at the tip of the head all the way to the base of the spinal chord where the first center is located.

The other five chakras that follow include the third eye, the throat, the heart center, solar plexus and the reproductive organs.

There exists a system that few outside the astrological and metaphysical world that understand the relationship and interconnectedness of these seven centers with the seven endocrine glands of the human body, the seven planets of the solar system and human behavior.

It is through this understanding of the inner workings of these systematical interrelationships that is most basic to the alignment between how planet movements, cycles and human nature that allows us to better understand why astrology is such an art form.

As the greater macro organism the solar system expresses itself through the seven major planets (not nine) and lives within the creation of yet a greater whole in the image of it's creator in which it reflects.

So once we understand that our solar system is still part of wider system, part of this grander cosmic plan which consists of seven solar systems with the sun as its center as the heart is to the body. The life of the Cosmic Being governs the seven stars of the constellation of the Great Bear which in turn are the lifeline of the seven rays of the life force that reflect and flow through the whole solar system via the seven planets. This philosophy is the basis the entire science of astrology is built upon.

Each one of the seven rays expresses a related virtue of the force, the source, God which is a reflection through the heart representing the sun, the ray of love and wisdom. When the beat of the sun pulsates with energy of love and wisdom it expresses the quality of its existence, its consciousness.

Valentine's Day Astro Speak - Looking Into The Future

2007-02-14T21:28:00.001-08:00

Aries: This year will be an unpredictable one for most Arians. The unattached will find new love, while those already going around may have to really work hard to sustain their relationship. March and April are important months for the unattached as love comes their way. Those looking for a soulmate will get lucky. Your circle of friends may also undergo a major change.

Taurus: You need to realise the difference between love and lust. This year there are chances of you getting into unconventional relationships that may seem very promising in the moment, but do remember that moments never last a lifetime. Those who are hitched need to be careful. Letting go of your present partner for new temptation would be a mistake, so keep a check on your emotions. No matter what, avoid acting in haste.

Gemini: There's a good news. The chances of you meeting someone either through work or at work in the coming three months are very strong, with some even getting involved with The Boss! I would not call this last 'love', rather it's just about having fun. Those in love may also be separated from their loved ones for a short while post-June.

Cancer: All right!!!! its time to rock. Love is right there knocking at your door. The lucky ones may tie the knot. Those of you planning to tell your parents about your love will be able to do so, and also convince them to give you their blessing. Some may even find a special sweetheart through the Internet. And despite the physical distance the relationship will grow.

Leo: Planning to get your lover home? Well now's the time. The route? Via Mommy dearest. The unattached may go through a very stressful time as you may get attracted or even get involved with someone with whom the future looks bleak. Some may end up in a relationship triangle, which makes them feel insecure. Attachments with a married person are also on the cards. However, things will balance out after October and you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Virgo: A past relationship may get revived, but only to go away after six months. So it's advisable not to build up your hopes for a long term future again. Marriage is a strong possibility though you may have to compromise and/or go away to a far off land. Those who are married will find the revival of romance in their present relationship, as their spouse does things that make them happy.

Libra: Some may have a change of heart, with a present relationship breaking up. Hasty decisions will have to be avoided during the months of May/June. It's best to remember, at this time, that hasty decisions are often regretted later on. The unattached find new friends though it's advisable to go a bit slow. Only go ahead after you have come to really know this person, as this new person could be very addictive. You may also make a life-time commitment towards the end of the year.

Scorpio: Your time for love is already here. Some may find true love while others may find a true companion. It would be a spiritual connection as Jupiter aspects not only your love life but also others houses that are religious and spiritual. You are ready to tie the knot. The chances of travelling with a loved one increase this year. It could also be that you undertake pilgrimages with a soulmate.

Sagittarius: This year is more about physical pleasure than mental or spiritual bonding. You may get involved with more than one person simultaneously. Travel and pleasure seem go hand in hand. Some of you may even spend a lot of money. But, whatever you do, be sure to keep a check on your health.

Capricorn: Though your love life seems fine this year, some of you may be forced into a commitment in spite of your not wanting it. You may be a bit confused but if the person is Important to you then please go ahead, as after October there are chances of you losing a loved one due to your avoidance of commitment. Tension with your spouse is possible, so weigh your words before speaking.

Aquarius: You need to be patient as you will go through a lot of confusion on the love front. Things may not be as they seem or you may just land up having constant arguments with your lover. Any which way, you will have to balance things to sail through this period on an even keel. Some may experience a tendency to doubt your loved one in the coming seven months.

Pisces: You have a reason to smile. Singles will find their partners, and there's also a chance of travel with a loved one. For those already in relationships, your lover may be very demanding at the moment. Things may even go a hill haywire in the coming four months but that's a temporary phase, so curb your irritation. Be still and silent for a while and you'll be amazed at how much better your relation is.

Is Numerology Easy?

2007-02-08T20:53:00.001-08:00

Back to Hogwarts! For the Harry Potter fans out there, a question: What is Hermione’s favorite subject? Did you say Numerology? Good. Actually, in the Harry Potter series it is called ‘Arithmancy’. Now, why am I bringing this up? For two reasons. First, Hermione is attracted to the subject because it is challenging. In fact, it is considered to be quite hard. Many websites, books, articles, even the Wikipedia claim that Numerology is the easiest of the Divinatory Arts. Um, no. It is one of the simplest yes but, that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Numerology is actually a fundamental study and there is a natural progression from Numerology to Cartomancy to Tarot. Notice how each discipline widens the scope just a little bit. The archetypes move from those of number to number shape and some color, to the oftentimes complex symbolism found in Tarot. Numerology is fundamental and, just as in sports or in life, you always need the fundamentals. A good foundation is something that you build upon and if you ever come across a problem or question that you are having trouble resolving…get back to fundamentals! Beginning your study of the Divinatory Arts with Numerology will save you an incredible amount of time and energy latter on. Ok, and the second reason, I hear you ask. The name J.K. Rowling gives to the discipline – Arithmancy. Modern Numerology could really be split into two branches of learning: the study of the archetype of number, and the study of vibration.

The first study is contemplating the numbers and what they mean individually. How one becomes two and so on. The second is observing how those numbers interact, how they influence. J. K. Rowling has pointed out an important distinction for us: Numerology proper is the study of number; Arithmancy is the use of Numerology for Divinatory purposes.

How Do I Love Thy Zodiac Signs

2007-02-08T20:52:00.002-08:00

Alrightly then--It is getting closer and closer to that day of the year when everyone has lovely chocolates in decorative cardboard boxes and big red hearts on their mind. As an Astrologer, susceptible to love, romance, and anything that has to do with chocolate, its hard for me not to think of how all the 12 zodiac signs might enjoy notions of love at Valentines Day. So just for fun, here is a quick run through all twelve Sun Signs.

The Aries sun sign person is always ready, willing, and able to fall in love.

The Taurus sun sign person is never willing to share their chocolates.

The Gemini sun sign person typically may have several valentines to shop for.

The Cancer sun sign person prepares for this special day in advance so it is filled with cards, a homemade dinner, a movie, and a big box of chocolate.

The Leo sun sign person waits intentionally for this day so they can make a big valentines splash with big ticket gifts.

The Virgo sun sign person is the only sign of the zodiac that will let you get away with missing valentines day--but usually keeps the rain check weekend free.

The Libra sun sign person will very usually get everything they want.

Th Scorpio sun sign person wants the kind of gifts they can't show to their mother.

The Sagittarius sun sign person likes to make plans to spend Valentines day somewhere far and away.

The Capricorn sun sign person is the only sign of the zodiac that doesn't have to buy anyone anything--cause they know that just their presence in your life say everything.

The Aquarius sun sign person buys gourmet chocolates that will rotate monthly off the internet.

The Pisces sun sign person will leave love notes for you to find in your pockets, glove compartment, and desk draw. They are prepping you for the big swoop later in the evening.

Wisdom Of The Tarot-The Wheel Of Life

2007-02-08T20:52:00.001-08:00

We all tend to view life as something that should be easy. Good things should just happen and bad things shouldn’t. Life should be simple. Life should be just full of good times. The sky should never rain on our lives. But rain waters the plants and makes them grow. It gives us water to drink. Without it we’d die. Maybe things we see as bad are equally valuable.

The Hermit is an example of something we don’t want – being alone. Loneliness is indeed a terrible thing and can blight your life. There is, however, another side to this solitude. The traditional hermit would by choice travel to some out of the way place and live alone for years. Why would they do this? To learn. Perhaps you live a very busy life constantly on the go, constantly striving and trying to juggle your responsibilities. Imagine then no noise, no hustle and bustle, just peace, quiet and time for yourself. Imagine what you could learn having taken the time to listen. Being alone isn’t so bad: it depends on your attitude to it.

The Tower indicates another example of something we don’t want - a crisis. Sometimes things happen and we know that we will never be the same again. The Tower shows people falling from a tower. They think that they can fly but they are going to discover that they can’t. It’s about seeing the truth. Sometimes this is painful. It always means that something significant has changed. We go on in life altered by this event. In the future, though, we are stronger because we had this moment of clarity: it focuses your mind, it shows you what can and can’t be achieved. The challenge of the Tower is to pick yourself up and rebuild. Without the lightning strike of the Tower we’d never get a chance to rebuild, bigger and better. Sometimes you have to tear it down in order to start again.

The Wheel of Fortune finishes our triptych of cards. Sometimes really bad people have very good luck. Really good people sometimes have very bad luck. They’re on the Wheel, as we all are. The Wheel turns and life gets wonderful, we are incredibly lucky and we get everything we want. It turns again and everything goes wrong, nothing seems to work out the way we want it to. It turns once more and luck and joy flows into our lives again. This is the truth of life. This is one of the most important lessons in life: everything changes, nothing stays the same.

If you are lonely, you won’t be forever. Try to use this time to grow and learn. If you are going through a crisis, it won’t last. Try to learn what you can and get through it. If you are happy with everything going your way, don’t become complacent. Try to cherish this upward turn of the wheel.

The Wheel of Fortune will continue to turn and we can fight it or we can work with it. Try to learn from everything that happens to you because then you are growing in wisdom no matter what life throws at you. Wisdom is the insulation from the harsher turns of the Wheel. Wisdom gives us the ability to appreciate love. Wisdom enables us the help others when the Wheel turns downwards for them.

'To everything – (turn, turn, turn) There is a season –( turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose under heaven' (The Byrds)

Self Realization, The Ultimate Remedy in Solving Your Planetary Afflictions

2007-02-08T20:51:00.000-08:00

No individual is spared from the malefic influence of the planets in this material world. Performing Astrological remedies and thereby offsetting Own actions (Karmas), of course would go a long way in solving your problems. However the ultimate secret of getting out of the vicious cycle of Karma and consequent liberation of the individual from the realm of the karmic influence is the final answer to all the mundane problems of the human kind. The revelations in this regard by my Master preceptor are explained here for the benefit of the uninitiated.

Self Realization the ultimate Goal:-

The realization of the ultimate truth is the purpose of all living souls but a few individuals could succeed in their endeavor towards this end, leaving the rest of them to get entangled in the illusions of life and making them wander in their spiritual pursuits causing numerous births and deaths. Chasing the illusions like Money, power, and love, life after life, the individual gradually grows and stops wavering about these mundane affairs, and start seeking the ultimate purpose of one's life.

We need to be clear about the three basic concepts, to move further in the direction of realization. The Soul, the Mind and the Body, are these three components, those are necessary to carry on the incarnations. The Soul is pure and detached (Nirguna). It is also the manifestation of god on the individual, what we call the Individual soul (jeevathma ). The body is just the vehicle of the soul, without which no one can continue the journey in this material world. The body though very important the sustenance or maintenance of which is not an end in itself. The body being the vehicle of the soul is to be controlled and not be allowed to control by itself. The Mind the third element can be equated with a driver that controls the vehicle . The Mind is however not as pure as the soul. One’s prejudiced Perceptions to various experiences of life , teachings of wrong preceptors , Wrong or distorted learning ,or unwanted and endless desires emanating from the ignorance about the concept of happiness (Sukha) and bliss (As there is no better comfort than bliss ) all may contribute for the immaturity and imperfection of the mind as compared to the soul. When someone succeeds in graduating his/her unsteady and immature mind to make it realize the truth, the mind may also get purified like the soul. This process of purification can be achieved either by sheer repeated cycle of births and deaths mentioned above, akin to a bad student, who takes more time to complete the assignments , or by resorting to any of the acceptable routes of realization like enlightenment (Jnana), Devotion (Bhakthi ), Service (Karma ) etc. This state of mind is known as Realization.

To realize the ultimate truth which is referred to by many a nomenclature, like God (Brahma) or the Universal soul, one needs to know about the Self. Knowing the self would facilitate knowing the Purpose of life and fulfilling the cause. This can be achieved in many ways . One way is through Self inquiry which leads to sharpening of the universally accepted individual positive traits and simultaneously weeding off the negative traits of the individual. This is known as Self development in the modern management theory or as per the terminology of the behavioral science, and is purely logical in concept though a circuitous route.

Secondly it is through Initiation. Here one seeks a preceptor. The preceptor needs be one who is realized, impartial, open and truthful. One of the pitfalls of this system, as critics put it, is its inherent drawback of 'thinking within the Box', Since one may be completely overpowered by the preceptor and he/she may forget the faculty of inquiry, though ideally no Good teacher(Sat guru ) allows this to creep in to the mind of any of his/her disciples. In this context it may be added that, a Teacher Student relationship need not be that of a Master and Servant relationship and no bondage or strings need to get attached to their relationship.

Third option for Self Realization is by self inquiry, through the proven tools like, Meditation where the individual mind get equated and immersed with the universal mind and no Knowledge would be alien to the person thereafter since he/she can comprehend things from a very higher angle. Of course, that calls for tremendous will and focused attention. In my opinion the concept of self inquiry propounded by Lord Buddha and in our own time by J. Krishnamoorthy is a classic example of this route.

The second option seems to be more practical and people friendly, though not idealistic.

Whatever the path one follows, one needs to have the conviction. However it is up to the individual to choose the path. It is always desirable to have a good preceptor (Sat Guru) to help and guide the individual, for there may be many occasions when one get blockades in his/her journey of realization, and to resume the same there need to be someone who can lift and bail him/her out. I am not here to enter into any debate, on self seekers or those who have opened up new realms of thinking.

Many popular and revered Masters, Saints and preachers of today are yet to attain the above stage and they are on their way of exploring the unknown realms of the ultimate knowledge. Those who have crossed the ocean of Ignorance , are never to be seen in this material world, for they guide and direct us, as Masters from the Cosmic World, and are perhaps being referred to as Angels.

A Cheeky Look at "Setting up Business" by the Stars

2007-02-08T20:50:00.000-08:00

It takes all types to set up a business. Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes and with differing levels of experience. But you may well wonder why some are more successful than others, even given the same level of knowledge and experience. Perhaps the answer lies in the Stars...

Aries

This is your office? Papers strewn everywhere, a collection of interesting moulds (some of which have developed personalities), growing in an assortment of chipped cups –- you do like to throw things; probably explains the dent in the wall! What is it with you? Always in such a hurry! We would expect some impressive results from all this hyper-activity, but you are the master of unfinished business. Why are you so impatient? Oh well, we will leave you alone and perhaps you might finish all those half-completed tasks... except, oh dear... something new has come along and you're eager to make a start on that.

Marketing advice: Stop scaring your clients and they just might return one day.

Taurus

Is this an office or a take-away shop? Must you eat in here? I'm sorry, but I can't find a PC in this joint. Where's your computer? Oh, I see... No, there's nothing wrong, but you might want to consider updating. Typewriters are so... yesterday. And you might feel more enterprising if you brightened up the office... pardon? No, there is nothing wrong with beige walls, but they can be a little mind-numbing, don't you think? I'm only suggesting a little external stimulation might help. No, no, of course, you aren't a dullard! However, modern technology can work wonders for your business, and it's such a shame to use those unopened packets of software as bickie platters!

Marketing advice: Sitting in front of your old Remington with your cheese sandwich might not be enough. May we suggest networking?

Gemini

Oh, my! Not sure what this one is doing – travelling faster than the speed of sound, papers in one hand, address book in the other, one foot working the keyboard (needs the other to balance while figuring out how to levitate, because then she could do FOUR things at once), and a mobile wedged permanently beneath the left ear like some new-fangled ear-ring. This one tries to do everything at once, and she has more irons in the fire than a blacksmith on a horse ranch. If you could stop yakking for a minute you might get some work done, but you do like a good gossip, and you're more restless than a can of worms!

Marketing advice: Can you sit still long enough to do one thing at a time? (She's not even listening!)

Cancer

Come on out from under the desk... I haven't started yet! Such a sensitive soul, but very eager to please. This one would rather go to the bathroom in public than cold sell! Networking in person is not your forte, is it? Never mind, thank goodness for the internet. As for the office, well, it is supposed to be an office – this looks like a rumpus room. All little Johnny's crayon drawings will have to go! You need to learn to say no – or get a lock on the office door to keep out the family who, apparently, can't manage without you.

Marketing advice: Don't be shy. I know you can do it, you know you can do it... but do they know you can do it!?

Leo

Well, this is one glam office! (Vogue's been here!) You do get the work done, and very efficiently, but it does interfere so with your preening. Is it really a necessity for you to keep grooming aids on your desk? You're not really a snob, just selective about choosing assignments. One requires a task suitable to one's standing. And it's just as well you work alone – you're so bossy.

Marketing advice: Lose the mirrors! Nobody can see what you look like over the internet and visiting clients might get the wrong idea – especially when they spot the nude statue in the corner by the bar!

Virgo

I must say, I've never seen a tidier office... but do you really need all those cleaning products on the bookshelf, all neatly lined up in alphabetical order? Virgos don't take coffee breaks; they take dusting breaks - and you are concerned because there are specks on the window, hidden by curtains, but you know they are there and it upsets you. How can you work when there are specks on the window! How, indeed! And is this an office, or a chemist? There are more vitamins and tablets cramming your shelves than a health shop. On the plus side, such thoroughness extends to your work practices. You never lose anything!

Marketing advice: Don't be so finicky... or maybe you should go into the cleaning business?

Libra

You have charmed your way into the good books of every contact you've made. The work offers are there, but which assignment should you choose first? You don't want to offend anyone by placing their work second, and you do so want everyone to like you! Oh, why can't just one nice person (who likes you very much), offer one job one day, and then another nice person (who likes you very much), offer their job on the second day? Sadly, even if you could decide between jobs, there's this other problem of deciding between which software to use, and which browser... Of course, you've studied them all, but you don't like to take sides!

Marketing advice: Forget it... your Client has already found somebody else!

Scorpio

From one extreme to the other... This one is working determinedly, with a definite no-nonsense glint in the eye. Intensity personified! Nothing really out of the ordinary in this office. It is designed strictly for business. The only other place you'll find this much stainless steel is in a gourmet kitchen! These people mean business, and that is what they're doing, and you'd better not get in their way – or else! Scorpio gives new meaning to the word ambition. (This one doesn't need contacts; they can take care of you themselves!)

Marketing advice: Well, you really don't need any – but may I just quote this: "All work and no play..."

Sagittarius

Hey, this is a fun office! Radio blaring, funky music, brightly painted murals on the walls - you once tried to set up your office on the back lawn, but forgot about the rain – and you go around humming "Don't fence me in". Yesterday you lost a contract because the client told you what to do. (He said he was only trying to explain how he'd like it done!) And as for that one little assignment sitting all alone beside the pending tray (you feel less committed that way), well, maybe the client will forget all about it, because, quite frankly, it's a boring piece of work and you've lost interest! Anyone for tennis?

Marketing advice: Find yourself a Libran friend to tutor you in tact and diplomacy. Are you really sure you want to do this? You hate being locked in the office!

Capricorn

This looks like one of those old-fashioned offices from the sixties: dark timber panelled walls, framed diplomas, and solid sensible furniture. No, of course I'm not suggesting you are a fuddy-duddy! You are so desirous of acquiring prestige, you will do almost anything to achieve it. You take everything seriously. (Probably even these comments!) Capricorns perform with careful deliberation, meticulously, and professionally. Always courteous – but jokes are often wasted on them, and so is this!

Marketing advice: You don't really need any, but lighten up a little – it's only life, after all!

Aquarius

Welcome to the twilight zone! Your office décor is, shall we say, interesting. You've got everything that opens and shuts here, and even you don't know what everything does, but you're in the process of pulling it all apart so you will soon find out. You don't go after the conventional contracts – your address book includes NASA, and a couple of Einstein's buddies who not only need help typing their abstract theories, but welcome new ideas - yours! I'm not sure if you are simply a very intriguing individual, or just a complete fruitcake – but you do get the work done – your way, in your time.

Marketing advice: Can you give an Aquarian marketing advice? Do we need to?

Pisces

I think you're awake... eyes are open, but they have that glazed, dreamy look. A-ha... off with the fairies again! Your office is in nice pastel shades. Nice wallpaper... Laura Ashley, if I'm not mistaken. You aren't as intense about your business affairs as some of the others, but you do like a good mystery. Sadly, the FBI does not require your services. Still, you're not in any hurry, right? You are so agreeable, you let your clients use your PC to type their own work, then give them a discount! One day you will find the perfect business.

Are Online Tarot Readings Any Good?

2007-01-30T21:25:00.003-08:00

With the proliferation of online and computer generated tarot readings, including numerous free ones, we can question what the value of such readings is.

Tarot cards are an ancient method of foretelling events which may occur in a person's future. It is the most widespread method of divination in the western world. It is based on the premise that the larger movements in a person's life are reflected in the smallest ones, such as tarot cards. As above so below! Online tarot readings is simply consciousness' modern way of bringing insight through the medium of technology.

How to use online tarot readings properly? Same as when you used to do it with a psychic or by yourself:

1) Focus on your question. You may like to say it aloud if that helps. It is best to do this in a calm and relaxed atmosphere
2) Choose a spread (most programs offer several options)
3) Click on the button to get the interpretation.

Using online tarot readings on a regular basis will also help you in developing your intuition and psychic ability as well as learning the significance of the cards. Enjoy the process. It is fun and easier than trying to learn with a book. The online tarot spreads are fully interactive and give a detailed introduction to the tarot cards, their meaning and how to interpret them.

The imagery of the cards is also profound and deeply evocative, helping you gain insight into what is going on in your universe. While it is important to get the know the general significance of the cards, you may also resonate more with some tarot decks than others. Being strongly symbolic, it is important that you like the cards you deal with, that they 'speak' to you in a sense. This goes for both online and physical tarot decks. If you can relate to the imagery it is easier for you to interpret the cards and access your intuitive powers.

A note about the reversed cards. Online tarot spreads seem to deal a lot of reversed cards. These are NOT bad cards! They simply have a different meaning than when they are upright.

As with any form of divination, intuition should guide the reading. With online tarot readings, all the computer does is deal the cards. If you have taken the time to focus on your question, then it is no different than dealing the cards yourself or asking someone else to do it for you. The difference with computer and online readings is that you get a quick interpretation from the generally accepted meaning of the cards. Then you can add your spin on it according to a number of factors such as:

- the card position
- the neighbouring cards
- cards trends such as repeating numbers or suits
- your own intuition

The more familiar you become with the cards, the more you will be able to interpret them. You can also add various systems of interpretation such as Jungian psychology, the MYERS briggs model, astrological signs and many more archetypes.

Birth Time & Vedic Astrology

2007-01-30T21:25:00.001-08:00

Astrology is the science of the planets and stars and it has been used by different societies to explore the relationship between human beings and the universe since time immemorial. It gives us an insight into how the universe and the planetary positions influence our lives. This is possible through the study of “horoscope” or a birth star chart. The time of birth is the starting point of anybody’s life and so it is of paramount importance to get the time of birth recorded accurately. The birth sign indicates the position of the sun during your birth. This sign along with other signs like the Ascendant, Moon sign and signs of other planets influence your deep spiritual growth, energies and also your character. So it is of paramount importance to get your birth time right so that astrologers can read your horoscope precisely. It is really needless to say that without accurate birth time, very few astrologers could succeed properly in their prophecy.

So, when was I born? Real astrology starts from here. But most often than not, people seldom get a totally correct birth time. The time keeping during the birth process often is neglected (naturally!), and there are many other sources of errors, too. Recorded birth times may be incorrect by 10 and more minutes. To be really sure, you require a mathematical correction of your birth time. But how to get your birth time correct to the exact second? Vedic astrologers calculate the birth time scientifically. This service is based on the dates of major life events. The result is accurate to the second and can be used in any horoscope or any individual astrology chart. Many astrologers recommend this rectification service.

Today, there are probably only five persons in the world who are able to calculate the exact birth time back to 1 second accuracy. That is a unique ability and Vedic astrology cannot be done completely accurately and properly without having the totally accurate birth time including hour, minutes and seconds. The Vedic knowledge is more than 5000 years old and there are many important informations found in the original Sanskrit scripts of Astrology. The secret formula of birth time calculation has been rediscovered in the texts of the Vedic sage Parashara. According to him, Vedic Astrology is a science of ultimate precision and every physical atom is guided by astrological law.

Astrology and horoscope has been made accessible online by a famous astrologer called Dr. Heinz Krug through his website birthtime (dot) info. He is one of those rare five astrologers in the world who can correctly determine the birthtime of any person to the exact second. So, one does not have to toil hard to find a good astrologer because now he or she can have the correct birthtime with a mouse click from the comfort of home. It is fairly simple for the clients. You would merely fill in a form with dates of your major life events and send it through the website. And your data will be sent on time. What's more—the site also offers money back guarantee.

What is a Feng Shui Life

2007-01-25T03:28:00.003-08:00

Many people have heard of Feng Shui, and have wondered what having a Feng Shui life consists of. Some believe it is but silly superstition or ancient fairy tales. In fact, Feng Shui is the knowledge that comes from studying and understanding how the environment around you impacts you and your daily life.

In the Chinese language, Feng (fung) means “wind” and Shui (schway) means “water”. These two basic elements are considered to be the fundamental elements for life to exist. Feng Shui dates back over 3,000 years, and continues to evaluate how ch’i, Chinese for “energy,” flows in one’s environment and the impact that this flow has on one’s life.

At it’s inception, the art and science of Feng Shui focused on the arrangement of the home for optimum safety, comfort, and security. One’s bedroom would be positioned properly for the deepest and most restful sleep. Doors would be placed in such a way as to provide security from negative energies. Every detail was accounted for, including the stove’s proper placement to ensure that the rice would be cooked properly, each and every time.

As the years have passed, Feng Shui masters have developed more sophisticated ways of evaluating the impact of our increasingly complex environments on ch’i. These methods include the measurement of magnetic flow based on compass direction, and the natural real world effects of color, shape, and the conglomeration of elements in a person’s living space.

The common misconception many people have is that a Feng Shui life brings with it wealth and almost magical tidings. For better or for worse, this could not be further from the truth. A Feng Shui life is really about creating an environment for opportunities. It allows you to make good use of the understanding of nature and life together. This understanding can effectively help you make the most of the opportunities that come before you, and hopefully open you to more of those opportunities.

The modern Feng Shui life must continue to evolve in order to address contemporary problems. Environmental factors such as the effect of electromagnetic radiation, indoor plumbing, and other innovations have the potential to clutter the environment and can have a hand in obstructing ch'i flow and disturbing the delicate balance of life.

Many people who work to live a Feng Shui life stress the importance of embracing other life-enhancing factors as well. Since Feng Shui is a holistic lifestyle, it is reasonable that consideration must also be given to the quality of food that we eat, the quality of cosmetics or personal hygiene products that we put into our bodies, and the choices we make concerning products that may or may not use toxic elements so that we may continue to support the environment.

With our world constantly moving and changing, you can never have the best of circumstances all the time. With day there must be night, and times of good luck must come with times of bad, this is one of the primary principles of Yin and Yang. A Feng Shui life can help to manipulate the influences in your life and make it easier for you to be able to meet and handle these changes. It can allow you to make wise and effective decisions which, in turn, can help you achieve wealth and success.

A Feng Shui Life is certainly not some fairy tale or superstition. In fact, Feng Shui is a profound life tool that can be used by anyone to make life better and more harmonious.

Astrology and Etiquette In the 21st Century

2007-01-25T03:28:00.001-08:00

Last week I went out for coffee with a Libra Man. Libra is known for having good manners and it was the first time we’d gotten together. We’re both gym rats who pay attention; and we were trading notes on our impressions of things we see in the gym as well as how we felt about each other…

“And then one day I held the door for you,” he said. “And you went by me and I thought, now that's something. I thought you had “IT”.”

“Really?” I thought backwards as fast as I could. This door opening is a big deal to me. It's significant. I could almost remember this specific day. “Well I like that. I like men to open the door for me. So I'm sure I was glad about it.”

“You must have been. Because you stood there and waited for me to get the next door, too.” He smiled.

“I did? Good. That sounds like me. But I would not have done that if you weren't the way you are. Super manly, I mean. Because do you know this door-opening… well men are no longer expected to open doors for women.”

He looked unconvinced.

“Seriously. I've written about this. Last year. Because this happens all the time at the gym. Men don't get the door. I think men should get the door, but others think differently and it turns out they're right. Because when I wrote about this, several people who teach etiquette showed up to say men opening doors for women is antiquated. It's over. People are supposed to get doors for people,” I said.

He looked unconvinced.

“I know. I don't like it. I teach my son (Libra Moon, Libra rising) to get the door. He's seven and I have him hold the elevator door until all the women are in, or out. And he's does it. He looks good doing it too, but he's like a throwback to some other era.”

“I would always get the door for you. For any woman."

“Well, thank you. And I would always let you. But I better know about this, because if you were a 23-year-old man and I stood waiting for you to get the door, I'd be standing there until I am blue. This is just not what they teach anymore. The professional manners people say otherwise. I don't really like men who don't get doors for women. It just seems wrong to me. It’s almost an affront when a man passes in front of a woman. I think it’s gross but I am just telling you this a day that’s gone by. We’re out of the loop. It's just not what is taught anymore and I have had to come to terms with this. But it sure made me feel good when you did that. You were classy, the way you did that. I have "IT"? I think you have "IT". Because I am telling you the men around here do not hold the door. It almost never happens and that day when you did... you held both doors, I liked it. It helped my day. It was as if something were right in the world."

Astrology Sign Compatibility - 2007 Astrology Forecast

2007-01-21T21:40:00.001-08:00

Astrology Sign Compatibility - Can it really help to find the right partner? Will it help me connect to a mate?

Astrology Sign Compatibility is widely used as a way of indicating the compatibility between family, friends, bosses or lovers and those you would like to know more about. Each persons natal horoscope is compared to see how the 2 astrology charts interconnect and the way in which they will effect a relationship. They will show what parts of either persons personality will either hinder or help the relationship. Using astrology sign compatibility is a great way in dealing with other on all levels of your life.

However there is much more to it than just a simple comparison between the Sun signs. But whilst the Sun Signs is a very good place to start it is only the first of many factors which need to be considered in astrology sign compatibility. This is helpful for your 2007 astrology forecast.

The true art of astrological chart compatibility is both complex and fascinating as well as being maddeningly elusive. What should be remembered that each astrologer has their own pet theories regarding the subject of astrology sign compatibility and in some cases may be directly opposite to what another astrologers pet theories are with regard to this subject. This is why there may be different views on the 2007 astrology forecast.

Luckily for those of us who are interested to know about our astrological compatibility with another person that virtually every astrologer around the world has spent many hours of their time in order to understand the subject of compatibility.

There are certain questions you will asked with regard to astrology sign compatbility and these are as follows:-

1. Date of Birth

2. Place where you were born

3. The time at which you were born (this time determines the Ascendant/Descendant axis and house placements). So this is critical for the astrologer to know in order to determine your compatiblity with another person.

Over the last few years astrology sign compatibility has gained great popularity and as many astrologers will tell you that there is much more to it than just astrological compatibility but for many of them the sun sign comparisons is a good place for them to start from.

Astrological Compatibility - Don't Knock It Till You Try It!

2007-01-21T21:39:00.000-08:00

Astrological compatibility charts are designed to compare birth signs for compatibility in the areas of romance, career, and all sorts of other things. It can neither be proved that it truly works nor disproved that it is just myth, but there are some people who swear by these charts and will never make a crucial decision in their life without first consulting their horoscope, so it is basically up to you to either believe in them or not. One thing for sure is that the many people who are responsible for creating these charts have become quite wealthy, so something must be working for them.

As for romance, maybe some people believe that they can choose their soul mate by using these charts and comparing birth dates and also the time of birth. For instance whether it was in the morning, or midnight, or afternoon, because all these make a difference in deciding how you choose the right person who is most compatible to you as these are all factors in making you who you are according to astrology. Others use these charts to make decisions such as is the time right for them to change their jobs or go on that job interview and things like that. Basically it is really up to the individual and his or her beliefs that probably play an important part as to whether these charts actually work.

Women tend to be more prone to using these charts than men, because they are more inclined to look towards the spiritual world and are the ones who would quickly believe in their astrology to help them make the right choice when it comes to romance. To these women choosing a partner using these charts would mean that they absolutely cannot go wrong, because they actually believe that they are going to select their perfect soul mate, the one person that they are supposed to be with for the rest of their lives. Most men on the other hand even if they did believe in this sort of stuff would much prefer to go out and have a chance encounter with someone who may well turn out to be their perfect soul mate.

So as to whether astrological compatibility really works, it is left to you the individual to decide because it is really nothing more than what one believes in. So if you are not one to check your horoscope in the newspapers on a daily basis before you even make a decision, then this will definitely not be your first choice on how to choose that perfect someone. On the other hand if you are the type of person who just cannot make a decision without consulting your horoscope first, then using this method will probably give you the best choice of deciding who your perfect mate should be.

Living With Your Aries Child

2007-01-13T21:04:00.001-08:00

The Aries child is a "doer". Aries Children have natural enthusiasm and will spur everyone else along. The energy is boundless. This daredevil will want to live and experience everything. There will also be a strong competitive instinct along with a great stamina. This kid will never consider coming second - the "winners" podium is theirs.

Aries will be impatient and will tend to start many projects losing interest long before completion. Frustration is a super-quick instinct with these children - frustration with their own abilities, and frustration in the inability or lack of pace of others too. No one will be in any doubt on how Aries feels.

These children say it as they see it because there is no time for niceties. Time waits for no man. And, the Arian child, unless very well trained, waits for no man either. Aries will actually be quite temperamental but will seldom sulk or carry a bad moment for long. These kids will be genuinely baffled when someone takes offence with an outburst. It is the exclusive right of the Arian character to throw a huff without explanation, but there is little understanding as to why anyone else should react or take things personally. Careful nurturing into tact, diplomacy, sharing and caring -is needed, but "nurture" is the keyword. If force is used, you will be met with rebellion. This fiery youngster will learn better by example, so try to stifle the instinct to yell back. Simply suggest some "time out". Not too long, though, because remember, this child forgets quickly. Just give it long enough for the rampant Aries to reflect and for you to gather your wits.

These kids need to be taught to listen and respect other people, and they do want to learn. So, start early by encouraging Aries to take responsibility for disruptive behavior. Encourage this child to look at the cause and effect and accept where they went wrong. Maybe quietly suggest an alternative for future reference. Aries will eventually learn to be more considerate and become easier to live with. No one will be more honest than this child will - they haven't got time to stop and think about lies or deception. They speak from the cuff and give it to you straight. Also watch for a natural sense of fun.

These kids will love to share a joke or a prank with you and will probably laugh at your jokes even when the meaning is way beyond the baby thinking patterns. This is their way of joining in. Competitive sport is a great way of using up some of this remarkable stamina. It will make the best use of the determination and also the sheer energy that Aries will have. It will also encourage team spirit and discipline. Bear in mind that having several planets in the signs, Pisces or Taurus, before and after Aries can add a lot of patience to your young Aries character.

Predictions for Aries in 2007

2007-01-13T21:04:00.000-08:00

Chiron is sextile your Aries Sun Sign. This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. During this time, you're likely to have a deflated ego and overall lack of self-confidence. At times it may seem easier to not even try to succeed, rather than risk failure. Be willing to promote yourself and you may be surprised by the outcome. You are particularly charming and persuasive now, and this could open many doors to new opportunities for your own personal and professional advancement. Although you feel a great need to make a difference in the world, you don't need to receive all the credit. Your real rewards come from developing your spirituality and higher consciousness.

You will be presented with many opportunities to clearly recognize patterns you've repeated in your relationships that have caused a great deal of suffering. This is a good time to work on dropping unhealthy habits and patterns from your life so you can stop repeating the same mistakes (and choosing the wrong people). Be willing to accept your share of credit for any "failed" relationships now, and you'll grow a great deal. Be willing to forgive others, and to admit you're wrong if need be. Chances are that they will treat you similarly. The more progress you can make now toward curing self-destructive patterns (usually related to childhood wounds that have never healed), the less difficulty you'll have when Chiron conjoins or squares your natal Sun in a few years.

You are attracted to alternative forms of health care now, and you may even develop healing talents yourself. If you become a healer, you will pursue your new vocation with great intensity and purpose, as though it were your life's destiny. In a way it is, because as you learn to help others, you will also heal yourself in the process. Whatever you choose to do now, you have the power to bring your ideas into reality. Build your self-confidence by creating more of whatever it is in your life that brings you the most joy. Then set new goals (which are likely to be higher than previous ones). Some people will try to convince you that the goals you seek cannot be attained.

Numerology and the Influence of Names

2007-01-12T21:03:00.002-08:00

Does the popularity of names within a given nation reflect the influences that emerge within a culture? If the underlying premise of Numerology is that the archetype of Number exerts an influence upon an entity, and we define ( for the moment ) an entity as an individual, than a collection of individuals will influence a culture with a preponderance of that influence they share. In other words, we should be able to see a reflection of the first name influence within the cultural character in which we find the influence.

For example, the most popular names for the current decade ( 2000-2007) are as follows; males:
1) Jacob
2) Michael
3) Joshua

and females:
1) Emily
2) Madison
3) Hannah.

When we calculate the value of these names an interesting patterns appears. The values, in the above order, are 13/4, 33/6, 20/2, 28/10/1, 30/3, 28/10/1. The first pattern we find is that the male names all reduce to ‘female’ numbers ( evens ) and all of the female names reduce to ‘masculine’ numbers ( odds ). The second obvious phenomenon is the repetition of the 28/10/1 influence in the female names. What might this indicate? Only a comparative study of name trends and cultural attributes would allow us to draw conclusions with a reasonable degree of certainty. However, it might be interesting to speculate.

First, we might surmise that the generation currently being born will return to more traditional cultural values as opposed to a superficial reading suggesting some sort of ‘role’ or ‘gender’ reversal. The males all indicate an influence concerned with relationships; to work and honest values ( 4 ), to family and civic life ( 6 ), and to others in general and those in positions of authority in particular ( 2 ). The females, despite the masculine numbers, are firmly planted within the traditional framework. The 1 of independence that appears twice is quite spectacular in this regard: it is the reduction of the 28/10. The 10 is a 1 influence that is self-sacrificing and symbolizes a mastery over internal states and unconscious influences. Now, both the 10 and the 28 are even ‘feminine’ numbers but, the 28 is unique. First, it is related to the moon and the lunar phases and second, because of its relation to the menstrual cycle. Again, the 30/3 is remarkable. The ‘masculine’ 3 is often considered the first ‘real’ number since it is the product of 1 and 2. It is an expressive, artistic number. The addition of the 0 to the 3 in the 30 indicates a perfecting of the 3 influence.

Of course such a study offers a number of methadological considerations. The verdict will be out until the current generation being born comes of age but, until then, watch closely the emering trends and ask where its causes rest!

Do You Have a Wounded Moon?

2007-01-11T21:02:00.001-08:00

Astrologers have known about the wounded Moon for centuries, but most psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists are totally oblivious to how this affliction affects the life of an individual.

What is a wounded Moon?

When the outer planets of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto form a negative relation to a person's Moon in their birth chart, they are emotionally wounded. This is not a rare occurrence. It is often found in the charts of many people.

It is important to realize that the Moon in your birth chart shows how you receive and give nurturing. When our Moon is afflicted by the outer planets, we often feel totally unstained emotionally by life.

A skilled astrologer can see these aspects immediately and can determine how these planets impact your emotional life.

Here Are Some Indications of a Wounded Moon

When Saturn has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: Saturn has often been called "the leaden planet" because its dark energy leads a person to feel heavy, emotionally depressed, and blocked from any sense of inner nurturing. They are often unaware of the cause of this depression. This person was born depressed, because their life began in a depressing environment. The nurturing energy of the mother (the Moon) was denied them. Even though the mother may be present after birth, the child gets the message that she is cold and uncaring. This Saturn aspect indicates that the mother does not sustain the child emotionally. There may be karmic conditions in which she has no choice. But, regardless of the circumastances, the child feels unloved and unprotected by the mother.

When Uranus has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: When Uranus afflicts the Moon it creates a volatile energy and indicates an emotionally rebellious individual. They cannot tolerate any restrictions or boundaries in their personal life. They may have had some traumatic birth experience where they had a hard time getting out of the womb. This experience could be the cause of why they have such strong reactions to being restricted in any way. Their attitude towqrd their mother or other family members may be unreasonable and emotionally reactive. They seem to be very touchy individuals and can "fly off the handle" in an instant.

When Neptune has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: A Moon that is afflicted by Neptune often reveals a deep sadness in the person. They feel that they were abandoned by the mother and feel totally unsustained by her. This condition creates very deep emotional needs and often leads the person to become a caretaker of others in order to feel nurtured themselves. They have a great "need to be needed" and will often sacrifice their own life caring for others. In this way, they feel connected emotionally. They have a strong feeling that they have never had a home and feel cut off from any inner nurturing.

When Pluto has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: This is a very deep and painful affliction which creates tremendous anxiety within the individual. When there is even a hint that their security is threatened, they will burst out in a most terrifying rage. Much of this exists in their imagination, but nevertheless, very real to them. To most people the event that triggered the rage seems like a very minor one. The negative outburst seems totally uncalled for. This person is always "putting out fires" which don't really exist. They often react with such intensity that people tend to avoid their company. They can be very coercive and emotionally demanding, and they find it practically impossible to adjust their needs to the needs of others. They are simply too busy trying to take care of their own security needs to be bothered by those of other people.

Your Mysterious Horoscope

2007-01-11T21:02:00.000-08:00

Many rich and fulfilling answers lie hidden in the horoscope of every human being. Unfortunately, most people are not only suspicious of this wonderful celestial map of the psyche, but even tend toward the tongue in check "What's your sign?" approach.

This unknowing attitude is akin to looking at the clothes I wear and assuming that you understand me.

The "What's your sign?" approach is a very shallow way of looking at astrology.

Why?
Because there are nine other heavenly bodies which are also located in a sign. Your Moon could be in Scorpio, your Venus in Libra, your Mars in Leo, your Jupiter in Gemini, your Saturn in Virgo, your Uranus in Taurus, your Neptune in Libra and your Pluto in Libra. Each one of these planets and their relationships reveal a ton of information about you. Now, you can see when you ask someone, "What's your sign?" why you will not find enough information that you can can really depend on.

One session with a competent astrologer will instantly change the way you look at your horoscope. For instance, in a matter of minutes, a skilled astrologer can tell how you think, what your talents are, what you don't like, and the kind of people you are attracted to. Of course, he can tell you much more. This is only the beginning. There are many things that he can see right away. Other insights will follow as he delves deeper into your horoscope.

If you have a session with a skilled astrologer, I assure you that you will never again ask "What's your sign?" You will understand that a horoscope contains a great well of information about who you are, where you are going, and what you are destined to do.

I can make such a statement, because I have read thousands of horoscopes and I am still discovering new insights. This shows that this wonderful map of the psyche is far deeper than any person who reads it. No matter how long I study it, it still holds many mysteries yet to be understood.

The World of Astrology Matching

2007-01-10T20:57:00.000-08:00

Many centuries ago, people considered astrology as both an art and a science. Those who practiced it were held in great respect. They gave advice to ancient kings and emperors on important matters like when to go into battle and when to marry. However, the astronomers and the astrologers gradually separated from each other as the years go by. In our modern age, these wise sages appear in the magazines to give all of us our horoscope. I admit that I find astrology matching a fascinating subject, even if I am not really interested in its fortune telling aspect.

In some people’s opinion, the idea of our personalities being shaped by the position of the stars at the time of our birth is a ridiculous notion. I have read about the twelve signs of the zodiac and the merits and faults of each one. I am surprised to find that many things ring true when I observed my family and friends. Astrology matching is probably the most complex issue of all. In this method, you can evaluate how different signs will get along. You can apply astrology matching to family relationships, friendships, business relationships and romantic ones.

A few weeks ago, I purchased a big, fat book on astrology which focused on the idea of astrology matching. The first thing I looked at was if me and my husband's match is a good one. Apparently, we are one of the best matches because I am Cancer and he is Scorpio. However, this winning combination didn't do Prince Charles and Princess Diana any good so there are also exceptions when it comes to astrology matching.

The various zodiac signs falls into the four classic elements of air, water, fire and earth. This means that those who are under the fire signs like Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fiery, passionate persons. Libra, Aquarius and Gemini fall which in the Air signs are the cerebral thinkers. The Earth signs which include Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo are the no nonsense, salt of the Earth types. Lastly, the Water signs which include Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio are the emotional, sensitive ones. These elements are important when it comes to astrology matching.

The topic of finding a soul mate always comes up whenever astrology matching is being discussed. This is not focused on finding an identical person, but someone who will complement you with their own attributes. The pairing of two signs together is not always a good idea because it doubles up on too many things. For example, two Cancers together could make for too much sulking and two Leos could be a little too volatile. Make sure that matching through astrology should not have too much influence on your choice of mate. You should just give it some notice and you may be surprised by the outcome.

What Do The Stars Predict For Your Future? Try Astrology To Find Out

2007-01-10T20:56:00.000-08:00

If you like astrology, you'll be happy to get astrology readings both via the Internet and offline. For myself, I get a number of freebies every day by e-mail, and it's quite comical how they all vary! What can you expect though, given that they're not calculated using my own birth data - for which reason I see this kind of astrology only as a source of entertainment.

So, as a mere fun interest, naturally I'd never suggest basing any serious life decisions on something like astrology. I see it in terms of an oddity or curiosity, even if it does have some sort of impressive history in dating way back to Ancient Babylon. Regardless of what my newspaper horoscope tells me, I favour an approach of combined reason and intuition - unless of course I have some irrational but overwhelming feeling that I ought to purchase a lottery ticket, in which case it's only a small price to pay for being wrong.

To sum up: my own view of astrology readings that are based on your sun sign alone and nothing more personal are just a harmless piece of fun. If you want to go more in-depth, have a full birth chart calculated on the basis of your place of birth, date and time. (A chart can still be done without a precise time but it won't be as personal as one without.) This can give a detailed character analysis; in addition, if you want such extra services, you can check out your horoscope compatibility with your partner, which is technically known as synastry.

Naturally, having the full works done, allows your astrologer to make more personalized and specific future forecasts - although whether or not you choose to believe in their validity is another matter entirely. For myself, I simply enjoy the psychological aspects of chart analysis and how this can sometimes shed interesting light on a subject's character. I've never really been sure how much in life is fated or merely random; and I have to say that astrologers seem pretty much divided over this deep philosophical question too.

Whatever the truth of the matter, you might be interested in having some free astrology readings done from mere curiosity. There are sites which offer sample readings, possibly leading to a fuller, paid one if you're sufficiently interested. Although you may know your Western star sign, you may not know your Eastern or Vedic astrology sign, or indeed your Chinese astrology one. You might even like to sample them all to see which system describes you best. After all, it can be either free or very low-cost to try an astrology reading. www.HecatesArts.com offers a tempting selection for those curious about this ancient celestial art.

President Bush and Pyramid Numerology

2007-01-09T20:55:00.001-08:00

Can Numerology reveal the future? Some think so and most Numerologists are familiar with the predictive aspects of the Art. One of the most common, and perhaps reliable, techniques is Pyramid or Pinnacle Numerology. Each Pinnacle represents a long term cycle of learning and challenge as we walk upon our Life Path. With the exception of the first, each cycle is nine years long. Transitions between Pinnacles are almost always strongly felt and correspond to a psychological shift in perspective. There is usually a two year overlap, before and after the Pinnacle date, where we prepare for and then become comfortable with these momentous changes. The first shift is usually the most difficult but, it is the gateway to maturity and usually provides a sense of direction and identity.

Note: One of the most profitable areas in Numerology is Comparative Life Cycle studies. What follows is a study of the Pinnacle Cycles of President George W. Bush. It is not intended as a critique, political or otherwise, but merely as a learning tool. Policy and politics are not the subject matter but rather, the information revealed by the Pinnacles as compared to the events in the President’s life. We shall discuss the Pinnacle first and then compare the events, as we know them. You may draw your own conclusions to its accuracy. Keep in mind, no other predictive tools or methodology are being used.

1st Pinnacle: The 4 vibration was influencing President Bush until the age of 30. This represents hard work and its rewards. This is the time to build solid, long lasting foundations. The 4 pinnacle gives ability to organizational and managerial skills and places success within reach. It is success that must be built piece by piece though – imagine a child playing with Legos or building blocks. Slowly but surely crafting in the material world what only he sees in imagination. This means that while the ultimate goal will be realized there will be frustrations and challenges along the way. Growth takes time and is a slow process. Often, people under the 4 vibration oscillate between the solidity of the 4 and a drive toward chaos. The negative side of the 4 influence is an unwillingness to accept the need for order, discipline, and rules. The child who faces this pinnacle as his first is often stirred by an inner need to move beyond the limitations, real or perceived, of his parents but, should avoid jumping into the harsh world of practical affairs too soon.

Major Events from Birth to 1976: True to form, the President begins laying his foundation in this period. Among other accomplishments he receives a degree in history from Yale in 1968 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1974 He works in various political campaigns at this time including two of his father’s Senate campaigns.. He is a member of the Texas Air National Guard and then the Alabama Air National Guard. The negative aspects of this Pinnacle were felt as well. President Bush himself has characterized this period of his life as ‘irresponsible’. A time in his life which he has admitted was fueled in part by substance abuse and disorderly conduct. Now, take note of the shift year 1976. Firmly stuck between the energies of the two Pinnacles – an often traumatic time with strong psychological implication – the President is arrested and charged with a DUI on September 4, 1976.

2nd Pinnacle: President Bush’s 2nd Pinnacle is the 8 influence. This is a cycle of harvest when material growth will occur. It enhances success in business and finance. It also strengthens personal power which is the basis for success. Other people recognize this about you and defer to your judgment. People place their faith in you and desire to share your vision. Problems become challenges as you grow in stability and develop the organizational skills to head large enterprises. Your influence upon others will be almost supernatural and you move ever closer to the realization of your dreams. The challenge in this period is the development of your spiritual self. This pinnacle is a test of balance between material and spiritual abundance. If you do not find this balance you become a slave to the almighty dollar, if you do you find a reawakening to the true values of life.

Major Events 1977 – 1985: The years of 1976, 1977, and 1978 are all very important to the President. Notice how close they are to the Pinnacle shift. He enters the oil industry at this time. In ’77 the President is introduced to Laura Welch. A short time later ( 3 months ) they will marry. In 1978 the President ran for congress and lost The loss was only by a small margin and his political opponent, Democrat Kent Hance, will later donate money to the President’s campaign for the Governorship. Finally, in 1981 his twin daughters are born and the President joins his wife’s church.

3rd Pinnacle: The next Pinnacle exerts the 3 influence and acts upon President Bush until the age of 48. In this period self-expression comes to the fore. It is a highly social time when friends and admirers will be attracted to you. Under this influence your ability to inspire and motivate others will be very strong and your positive outlook and energy will cause others to want to work for you. This tends to be a very lucky period will problems seem to melt away. However, this can lead to a less vigilant attitude toward your accomplishments. Focus and discipline are called for and you should be wary of impulsive behavior and chaotic thinking else you squander your opportunities.

Major Events 1986 – 1994: In 1986, again notice its proximity to the shift, the President quits drinking and begins reading the bible. After a meeting with Reverend Billy Graham he is born again. Two years later he moves his family to D.C. to work on his father’s Presidential campaign. He helps develop a strategy to court conservative and Evangelical voters – a strategy that works. He delivers numerous speeches at fundraisers and rallies, and meets with religious and conservative organizations on behalf of his father. In 1989 he purchases a share in the Texas Ranger baseball team serving as managing general partner where he led team projects, remained active in the team’s PR, and regularly attended games – choosing to sit in the open with the fans. The Rangers were, for the most part, successful during Bush’s tenure, acquiring Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan. In 1993 he completed the Houston Marathon. And precisely at the Pinnacle shift in 1994 we find: He is involved with the construction of ‘The Ballpark’ in Arlington, the Rangers win their first division title, and he declares his candidacy for Governor.

4th Pinnacle: This Pinnacles acts upon the President until the age of 57 and its influence is the 9 vibration. This is a period where President Bush will begin to identify himself with a goal that is universal in scope. Social activism is prominent as is being an agent of societal change. He will attempt to apply himself to the good of the community. Sacrifice is called for and his personal ambitions must be subordinated to the larger good. This is a period where the President will face a large challenge. The inner impulse is one of greater love and compassion for community, country and world, and a sense of social responsibility develops. He begins to see humanity as a whole. People under this pinnacle are often drawn to religious or philosophical teachings and may begin to spread some particular doctrine or belief system. The challenge is again remaining wed to material reality and not becoming overly idealistic. If the ideal is too large failure may result. Travel in this period will be prominent and he will find himself meeting people from many varied cultures.

Major Events 1995 – 2003: Bush’s run for Governor is crafted around the theme’s of ‘personal responsibility’ and ‘moral leadership’. The campaign focused upon the issues of education, tort reform and crime His popularity grew after an impressive performance at a debate ( believe it or not ) with political rival Ann Richards. He is elected and in his first term makes good on his promises by increasing education funding, legislating tort reform, and reforming the criminal justice system. In 1998 the then Governor of Texas won reelection in a landslide victory. He is one of the most popular Governors in the United States at this time. Bush runs for the Presidency under the rubric of ‘compassionate conservatism’. He is elected to the office of president. 9-11. In March of 2003 he invades Iraq.

5th Pinnacle: The President’s 5th Pinnacle is a 7 and will exert its influence until 2012 when President Bush turns 66. This will be a time of inner reflection and soul searching. Spiritual growth continues to develop and faith is strengthened. During these periods the universe itself seems to propel a person. People begin to specialize during this time and pursue some particular course. As intuition develops he will have an uncanny sense of ‘the next step’. However, this in turning of consciousness makes it difficult to clearly articulate ideas. Nevertheless, expertise in some area will be his as he learns to see beneath the surface of things. The challenge is to refrain from becoming cynical or critical. President Bush must not withdraw from society. Sarcasm does not suit him.

Major Events 2004 – 2012: In 2004, precisely at the Pinnacle shift, he is re-elected to the Presidency. His inaugural address centers upon the theme of universal freedom and democracy – still feeling the effects of the last Pinnacle? Since then we have seen broader discussion upon the Iraq War and the War on Terrorism. The President seems more open to advice and input from others. The 7 Pinnacle can lead to either inaction or informed action. It remains to be seen which direction shall be taken. Although it is quite likely that his ability to articulate his ideas and ‘sell’ them to the public will continue to suffer, the actions he takes in the next two years seem to moving toward a reevaluation of the ‘bigger picture’. We can look for some stunning moves out of this President as policy shifts owing to the increase in introspection. Many questions will emerge in the geo-political realm, problems which can only be solved with an intuitive approach. The world, as of January 1, entered a 9 year. This year will see a resolution to questions of policy and a reevaluation of goals and strategy. The President will regain popularity in the poles and his second term on a surprising high note.

Addendum: The Pinnacles are not the only predictive tool in Numerology. And a full examination of future potentialities would need to include such factors as Challenge Numbers, Essence and Transits, Personal Years, Months, and Days as well as many other contributing elements.

The Secrets Locked & Hidden Inside Your Name Phrase

2007-01-08T20:54:00.001-08:00

All of us, at one time or another, felt silly yet compelled to write our first name along side the first name of someone who we romantically desired. After that, you may have shaped a heart around your names wishfully thinking it would seal your fate together.

You’ll be glad to learn that this stringing of names together was exactly the right thing to do. Sealing your fate by shaping a heart around it, before you knew what that fate would be, was not. Here’s why.

I call two names strung together a “name phrase”. For example, TOM AND JERRY, and ROMEO AND JULIET are two separate name phrases.

Name phrases are potent, and very powerful entities in and of themselves. A name phrase when written, spoken, or thought of, carries with it a frequency of sound vibrations. When you strung your names together side by side you were instinctively listening to how well your names sounded when spoken together. Sound has the power, under the universal laws of magnetics, to attract and to manifest into matter.

# You can learn what will manifest into matter from your relationship with someone by breaking down your name phrase to its lowest form.

# To break you name phrase down; you form all the other possible words that can be made using only the letters that are comprised in your name phrase.

# The words that you discover are your name phrases’ children. These children-words can then be darned together into poetic verses to tell a story of startling truth about your relationship with this other person.

Like for example, I found the words, MANY ADORE A MAN-MADE TEAM locked inside the name phrase of the renowned cartoon characters, “TOM AND JERRY”. Also hidden inside the name phrase are the words that say “TOM A TAMED DEMON, JERRY A RODENT. If you are a Tom and Jerry fan, then you know that Tom is the domesticated cat who is always looking to eat Jerry the house mouse. Do you see how the children-words told a known truth about Tom and Jerry?

It should come to no surprise that one should find the words AN ARDENT DUO ENDURE A DIRE END in the name phrase of ROMEO AND JULIET. So you see, it really wasn’t a silly thing to do stringing your first name along side the first name of the one your heart desired. You just didn’t know that the words hidden within your name phrase could be discovered in your wonder and listened to with a different ear. The words hidden inside your name phrase will startle you, warn you, or please you, and they will always tell you a story of unerring truth. Your relationships don’t have to be a mysteriously sealed fate.

In the word phrase SOUL MATES hides the words AT LAST. Now isn’t this what we’re all seeking? That one person we can feel a deep and meaningful connection...someone who we think we’ve known before. A someone, who for a lifetime, will be our TEAM MATE.

Yet we all STEAM and MELT too fast. We get LOST in LUST, and USE MOTELS TO MOLEST A MATE. Then we go on TO ASSUME LOTS only to LOSE A LOT, and then MOUE (pout).

We need to TAME before we MATE, so we don’t HAVE TO TUSSLE A LOST ASSET. We need to LET A TALE SAUTE’. Than we can SOLUTE and MATE with our SOLE TEAM MATE after a MALT and a MEAL.

Mercury and the Computer

2007-01-08T20:54:00.000-08:00

The planet Mercury has its abode in Houses Gemini and Virgo. Gemini is Mercury’s positive swakshetra; Virgo being its negative house. Mercury is exalted in 15 deg. Virgo. Mercury represents all that is quick, grasping, knowledge, arrangement, alignment, maintenance etc. On the higher pedestal, he is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is being assigned the work of maintenance of this world; whereas the work of creation to Lord Brahma and the work of destruction to Lord Shiva. Mercury represents computer.

Aptly Lord Vishnu himself must be a super big computer to look after the task of maintenance the world or all the worlds. Mercury representing computer derives power from Moon. Moon is the power giver to all the planets. Even though Mercury is considered as enemy of Moon, the Moon is not the enemy of Mercury. The power required for a computer comes from electricity. Without the electricity, there is no Computer. This electricity is generated from Hydro source. The Hydro source represents Moon. If the source of electricity is Thermal, then it is Sun is the source doing the job for and on behalf of Moon. The Sun and Moon bestow their powers on Mercury .

Mercury is intelligence. Software of computer; Whereas the Mars is the hardware, representing engineering. Attainer of perfection ; Buddhi& Buddha; Mercury is telecommunication ; Yet Mercury is child ; Childish. Afflictions to Mercury indicate child-hood difficulties such as speech defects, separation from parents. Yet the child full of capabilities. He is the child of the father. Sriramachandra when he was child cried for Moon to be caught in his hand. Mercury is child of Moon.

While the house Gemini being Mercury’s positive swakshetra, all the energy of Mercury is exerted, manipulated and spent in the work of maintenance. The house Virgo is the negative ; Gathers power and stores. The exclusive and characteristic power of Mercury is represented by Virgo in its healing power, as the Greek Demi god Centaur. Mercury has its exaltation upto 15th deg, Moolatrikona at (16-20) deg and the last 10 deg as swakshetra. Thus Mercury has three types of qualities in Virgo.

For worshipping Mercury, the seed mantra is “ Om, Aim, Bum Budhaya namha:”. The deity is Lord Vishnu. He is best worshipped and pleased through Lord Lakshmi Narasihma or Sita , Lakshmana Hanumatsameta Kodanda Rama. Offer Sri Tulasi mala to the deity of Lakshmi Narasihma or Kodanda Rama; Offer Lotus flowers to Sita Mata or Lakshmi; and then fruits to Lord Hanuman, starting the pooja on a First Wednesday of Shukla paksha. Continue the pooja for five Wednwesdays.

You will see miracles in your life. If the Mercury is in difficult houses in a birth chart, aspected by malefics, then wear Mercury Yantra, On Wednesday of starting of Pooja as above mentioned. Do not wear gem stones such as Green Emerald or any others, if the Mercury is in difficult houses or aspected by malefics. This tends to increase the difficulties. The famous and legendary film artist Amitabh Bachan wore green emeralds when the Mercury was in difficult houses, first associated by Ketu in Virgo and then aspected by Mars, who in turn aspected by Saturn. Amitabh Bachan got a jolt and admitted to hospital.

Does Numerology Really Work ?

2007-01-07T20:53:00.000-08:00

Numbers and Vibrations have fascinated Man for a very long time. Thousands of people have changed or tuned their Birth Names hoping to benefit from it. Whatever the Numerology Method - whether it's Kabbalah or Pythagorean or Chaldean, does Numerology really work ? If No, Why ? If Yes, then How ? Read on for some real life, practical FAQs.

The FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions and Answers) listed below are the most important and the most practical ones that are being asked around, more than anything else. If you wish to tune your Birth Name Vibrations, you should read them, to get guidance and clear your doubts. If you have already undergone Name Energy Correction or Numerological Correction, then you too must read them, to understand why it has not worked out to your expections.

QUESTION 1 :

Everybody told me about numbers and their Vibrations. I had the spelling in my name changed by an Expert Numerologist. But nothing much seems to have changed. Why ?

ANSWER :

(1) You are right about the numbers : they do have vibrations. But have all the vibration inputs been taken into account ? Not all Numerologists consider all the right factors. The parameters to be considered are : Birth Name; Date, Month & Year of Birth; Day of Birth & the Time of Birth. All of them are equally important. Even if one of these parameters are not included, the input system itself will be incomplete. If any of these factors (say, the time of birth) is not available, there are Clairvoyant methods to see through this.

(2) There is an even important contributing input that eventually influences the name : the person's Karma. Without accessing the Karmic Vibrations nothing can be decided. This is another reason why the Numerologist should also be an Advanced Level Clairvoyant.

(3) Assuming you have changed your name into right vibrations (after rightly analysing all the correct inputs) how much will the changed vibrations bring you what you desire ?

Let us look at this logically. When YOU pronounce your name (with the corrected spelling), your name vibrations are activated and REACH OUT to the person/persons you are talking to. I agree.

(1) But what about other people you are linked with ?

(2) Can you talk with every other person about your changed name ?

(3) What about people whom you knew in the past but are not in speaking terms now ?

(4) What about people whom you have no knowledge of, but are going to get involved with you in your future ?

How will your altered personal vibrations reach them ?

The conclusion is that you need an Energy Tool (which has been exclusively programmed for you) to keep transmitting your changed personal name vibrations 24/7 to all those who are currently involved with you, involved with you in your past and going to be involved with you in future. Then and only then you can reap the benefits of the corrected name vibrations.

That is exactly what I do for you when I implement my method of NewAge Kabbalah Numerology. After diagonising the full range of inputs and scanning your karmic vibrations, I arrive at the primary objectives to be achieved and the negativites to be shed. These steps are then Programmed into a Crystal (after selecting the size, shape and colour of the Crystal most suitable for you) and then Energised. Now this Crystal will be broadcasting 24/7 the customised vibrations that will reach all the persons you need to deal with, to your terms. It could be an estranged business partner, a dear friend who had misunderstood you, a good old customer who had disappeared, a relative who hates you or a person who had felt blocks in reaching out to you.

In the NewAge Kabbalah Numerology, the word Kabbalah is spelt in many ways : kabala, kabbalah, kabbala, kabalah, qabala, qabalah, qabbalah, cabala, cabbala, cabbalah, cabalah.

QUESTION 2 :

I had my birth name tuned with a popular Numerologist. When I complained to him after an year that there had been no positive results, he advised me to write and rewrite my tuned name 48 times a day, for atleast the next 10 years - for empowerment, he said. I find it labourious and it also eats into my precious time. Is it worth it ?

ANSWER :

It simply is not worth it. The concept that the name vibrations should be empowered is very correct. I agree. But how do you do it ? Definitely not by writing and rewriting it daily. I mean, how can you empower vibrations by just repeatedly rewriting it ? It is merely wasting the time and energy and nothing else.

There are dedicated tools and methods for creating, empowering, amplifying and broadcasting the name vibrations, to bring about sustained results. The best way of doing this is to dedicate the ideal crystal for this job, program it for solving the problem or meeting the purpose and activate it. These energy techniques are of very advanced level and have no similarities with energy healing methods like Reiki.

QUESTION 3 :

I have changed my name as per Numerology. Accordingly, I have changed my signature too. Shall I have to change my name in government documents, share certificates, gazette, etc. ?

ANSWER :

Yes, because you are forced to announce the name change and it will have it's own definite legal implications. You have to go through all the red tape and spend time and money in these procedures.

But not in my method of NewAge Kabbalah Numerology. Because the converted vibrations reach and attract all those who have to be reached and informed - in your personal life and professional life, permanently.

In fact, what is nice about this whole system is that you need not announce the name change itself to anybodyelse. Whether you announce or not, you fully get to have all the benefits of the newly tuned name.

Which means there is no necessity whatsoever to change your signature or go through tedius red tape procedures with governmental agencies, etc. and waste both your time and money. Fantastic, isn't it ?

QUESTION 4 :

I had my Company's name changed as per Numerology, after a heavy slump in it's fortunes. Now I am forced to readvertise massively the newly tuned name and my advertising bills are becoming very heavy. Not only that, I have lost a lot of good will and reputation that was identified with the previous name. My Numerologist says you can't eat the cake and have it too. Is there a way out ?

ANSWER :

Yes, there is. I can custom build a Crystal Energy Field for your re-tuned Company name which will be transmitting positive vibrations 24/7, so that your original purpose is fully solved.No need to relaunch expensive media campaigns in the new name/brand. You can continue to display your old and trusted Company name but still enjoy all the new benefits ! Yes, you can eat the cake and have it too !

In fact, in my method of NewAge Kabbalah Numerology, there is absolutely no need to announce the name change at all. That way, you get to save a lot of good money wasted on re-advertising.

A Tale of Two Enemies Sun and Saturn

2007-01-07T20:52:00.000-08:00

In astrology Sun and Saturn are considered enemies of each other. The gods or the demi-gods cannot behave like mortals. So we have to analyse the concept of enemies in a context and appropriate meanings. The Sun is truth, Sun is Knowledge; Sun is light. It is the place where our ancestors would ultimately go. After vasu and rudra , where our fathers are believed to have attained the status and receive pinda from us, the ultimate loka or state comes Aditya . Vasu rupe~, Rudra rupe~ and finally Aditya Rupe~.. The Sun is the embodiment of all gods. He is the ultimate. He is the destroyer of sins.

The concept of sin is co-terminus with the life we live in this world. The past actions which are sinful, in our past lives give the results of miseries in this present world. The miseries depend upon the degree of sins we committed in our past lives. There two gods who are attributed with the quality of destroying one’s sins. Firstly- Lord Shiva. Secondly the demi god Sun. It is easier to pray Lord Shiva and wash out our past sins. But the Second way is tougher one. Adithya is not easier to please. He is a strict disciplinarian. In the first and easier way of pleasing Lord Shiva, there are chances of we committing sins again. But the Second and tougher way is final.

It is born out of ultimate truth, knowledge and karma. It is this tough path that is chosen by the Rishis in doing tapasya. ( For detailed study – see concept of sin). Step by step one attains the state of Aditya and his material life comes to an end, which is the goal of all truth seekers. It is the freedom from bondage of birth and re-births. It is the attainment of god-hood.

The Sun burns everything. Our ignorance, our beliefs, our knowledge, which are born out of lies, images, maya , which is thrown by Rahu on our monds. The knowledge and beliefs are so strong and deep rooted in our minds, in our actions, we refuse to believe the ultimate truth. We are programmed to take shelter under clouds, false roofs, such as a frog taking a shelter under a serpent. This state of mind and our actions are created and developed by Saturn. Saturn is the representative of our false shelter. He creats maya through Rahu. All the dirt, whether in mind or in our physical presence in this world, is the abode of Saturn. He will not direct us to the path of truth, knowledge and god. He creates falls, pits and blindness, so that we eternally revolve round and round this maya. This maya is so powerful and strong, even the mighty Sun cannot escape.

So the two planes of operation of the fields are quite different. The concepts of Sun and Saturn go directly opposite to each other. Both act according to our past actions or karma. They are not enemies of each other. Because no two gods have the feelings of hatredness or love. They are above all those trivial behavior. They are above such meanness. They act according to their natures. Both are necessary embodiments of this worldly life. Sun is the enemy of ignorance, false-hood, indiscipline, and maya. The Saturn is the enemy of light, discipline, truth and knowledge. The Saturn is the creator maya.

All these qualities are the embodiments of mortal lives in this world; and definitely not the qualities of either the Sun or Saturn. In this way both are supplementary and complementary to each other. They are not enemies; But the gods acting in tandem, in harmony. One takes up where the other ends. They are the enemies of certain actions of mortals. It is the mortal to choose his action. If one sincerely attempts , penaces and disciplined it is the Saturn who is more pleased and he withdraws the curtain of Maya from one’s path of seeking truth. Then the Sun condones and destroys the earlier sins and shows the path of liberation through his light.

Indian Vedic

2007-01-06T20:42:00.000-08:00

Indian astrology is based on the theory of fate. The good and the bad actions of the past life determine your fate or Karma of your present life, and the actions of your present life determine your future Karma. According to Indian astrology a person is born at that place, on that day and on that moment when his individual fate is in perfect mathematical harmony with the progress of the stars in heaven.

However it does not preach total dependence on fate. Astrology lets you know what you were born with, what your possibilities are, the limitations, your strong points and your drawbacks. What type of life partners and professions suit you and to expect is also indicated. It also prescribes various remedial measures to ward off the bad effects and to enhance the good results. Astrology is your roadmap of destiny. However your fate is in your hands. The scriptures guide us by telling us what is good and what is bad; what to do and what not to do; how to do and how not to do. You are given a piece of land and the seeds to sow. How much effort to put in to it, what amount of manure and water to add and when how to reap the produce is your job.

After that it is you who have to act using your knowledge intelligence, discrimination and experience. Fate is like a game of cards where you cannot help the cards that have been dealt to you but how to play them is in your hands. You may get good cards but if you play badly you will lose and you may get bad cards and still may win if you play carefully. Don’t blame the roadmap if you get drunk, drive badly and have an accident!

Astrology, medicine, astronomy

2007-01-06T20:41:00.000-08:00

There was a time when astrology was an accepted science and was a part of medical diagnoses, as much as were a patient’s physical symptoms. It’s hard to say whether we’ve e-volved or de-volved, as we no longer think about living in harmony with cosmos. We consider ourselves too advanced scientifically to think that movements in the stars and planets might have a serious impact on our daily lives and our health.

But are we right. Who is anyone to say that man, with his limited brain, can truly comprehend the workings of the universe, or how he fits within it. Western civilization is predicated on conquering, not understanding. But it wasn’t always so.

Astrology is one of the most important historical contexts in which astronomy developed. The Babylonians carefully assembled tablets of the position of Venus, as it was believed to denote omens for weather, war, famine, diseases, rulers and kingdoms. Claudius Ptolemy composed the Tetrabiblos, believing that astrology could be placed on a rational footing, despite being a conjectural art like medicine. In practice, belief in astrology meant that horoscopes were cast for new-born children, prospective spouses and political enemies, public buildings were opened and marriage and other ceremonies conducted on auspicious days. Numerous records of astrological practice can be found from the Roman times and physicians routinely consulted astrological charts as part of the diagnostic process.

For instance, every sign of the zodiac was considered to rule a part of the human body: the Sagittarius ruled the thighs, Pisces the feet, and so on. When the moon was in the zodiac ruling a particular part of the body, bloodletting from that part was to be avoided, since the attraction of the moon might cause excessive bleeding. Numerous medical manuscripts and almanacs include the figure of the 'zodiac man' as a reminder of the specific influence of the moon. In addition, the power of the moon's pulling power varied by its phases, and thus almanacs usually showed the phases of the moon.

Psychic Healing

2007-01-05T20:41:00.001-08:00

Psychic power is the ability to feel, understand and interpret a higher force using sixth sense or ESP (extra sensory perception). It is the power to use higher levels of energy to understand and interpret things, which are not seen or understood by normal people under normal conditions. Nearly everyone possesses psychic abilities to a degree. But some have more. These people are generally referred to as psychics, mediums, or fortunetellers.

Psychics use arts like astrology, numerology, intuition, clairvoyance, spirit guides, auras, spells and channeling. Other abilities include clairaudience, being able to hear or perceive sounds which are not normally audible, clairsentience, the art of knowing about an event- past, present or future, through a feeling and clairvoyance, the extrasensory perception of an event which does not related to the normal five senses.

On another level, divination is the art of giving a prophecy, prediction or foretelling the future by the act or practice of the occult arts. Hiero is described as scripting and automatic painting or drawing. Precognition allows a psychic to see forward in time while the art of prophesy involves predicting a future event under the influence of divine guidance.

Psychometrics derives power from knowledge of an object or a person connected with it by coming into contact and psycho kinesis is a commonly known ability to move objects with the mind. Remote viewing involves the ability to describe a person, place or thing without being in their presence, while telepathy is a mind-to-mind communication.

Psychic healing is very popular and is done using many techniques: mesmerism, necromancy, spiritual healing or Reiki, intuitive healing, Pranic healing, past life regression, absent healing/distance healing, faith healing, laying-on-of-hands healing, energy balancing, aura therapy and more.

Psychic healers channel energies from the inner soul and use this energy to re-energize a person with illness. This is done by replacing negative energies with positive energies. It realigns the chakras, or energy points within the body by calming the body and filling it with energy. It basically clears the mind of negativity and energizes it. Psychic healing may not entirely cure a person but it is said to speed up or complement the process of healing using conventional medicines. Psychic healing is based on the theory that the human body is perfectly capable of healing itself. It only requires will power and revival of internal energy to do so.

Psychic healing is used for ailments like cancer, anxiety, depression, tumors, phobias, and several other disorders. Psychic healing can also be done from a distance through phone. There are also psychic healers for animals. There are many psychic healers in the world. They can be contacted in person, by post, through phone or by e-mail. Generally, psychic healers charge a fee for healing. There are several websites over the Internet about psychic healers.

A General Look at Alchemy Part 1

2007-01-05T20:40:00.000-08:00

Alchemy, according to esoteric writers, is said to be the invention of an ancient Egyptian sage called Hermes Trismegistus. The "Father of Alchemy" lived in an unknown age of Egyptian history, though he is thought by some Rosicrucian schools to have lived during the time of Moses and the Exodus of the Israelites. If true, being an Initiate of the mysteries of Isis and Osiris, Moses must have been tutored by Hermes himself, which later enabled him to carry out his mission and to realize his I AM Presence symbolised by the burning bush. The various precepts and the Ten Commandments of the Lord of Hosts revealed to the Israelites by Moses are the first alchemical steps of purification and putrefaction. Further steps were later added to the Mosaic revelation by the Nazarene Master. Indeed, the Christ declared that he came not to abolish the previous revelation, but to fulfill it.

It is thought by some that "Hermes Trismegistus" constituted a title assumed by distinguished hierophants of the Mystery Schools, in a somewhat similar manner that Zoroaster, the founder of the "Fire Religion" is regarded by certain scholars. Incidentally, alchemy may also be considered a Fire Religion, or at least a philosophy, because of its symbology of fire related to the alchemical principles, its prerequisite in the art of transmutation, and to the respect and honor paid to it by alchemists.

Jewish mystics identify Hermes as the antediluvian prophet Enoch, or Idris, as the Muslims call him; while ancient Egyptians see Hermes as Thoth, the god of Wisdom, Learning, and Writing. He was given this apotheosis along with Imhotep, the great architect under the reign of King Zoser of the Fourth Dynasty. It would appear that both men were overshadowed by the archetypal figure of Thoth, and were acknowledged as such by both the inner and outer circles of initiates of the Mystery Schools. Thoth, or his Greek counterpart, Mercury, was a messenger of the gods; and as an archetypal incarnation of this god, Hermes lived up to his name by his literary productiveness. Ancient writers declared that the "Trice Greatest" wrote thousands of books on what later became known as Hermeticism and Alchemy. It is unfortunate that very little of Hermes' works survived the conflagration and destruction of libraries and books by Roman and Christian zeal in the early dawn of the Piscean Age. The world as a whole is still ignorant of the great loss, and it will take some time before the invocation is made by the masses for the Greater Light, for disclosure of eternal principles that would shine upon the paths of men, and consequently, for a full restoration and establishment of an occult library of the world, with an archive and database of every known system and tradition of the metaphysical side of life. Although little is known of Hermes, it is evident through the works attributed to him that he was an intermediary of the Wisdom Ray of the Supreme Being.

One of the most famed works on Hermetic doctrine written, and in concise form, is the Smaragdine Tablet attributed to the authorship of Hermes. Its discovery is traditionally believed to have been made by Alexander of Macedonia in a cave near Hebron. This conqueror of nations who had Aristotle for a Master, was in search of immortality. Although he failed to attain his personal immortality, Alexander did uncover a philosophical jewel that would have given him what he had sought if he had only applied the principles that the Emerald Tablet contained. Tradition relates that the Tablet was wrought out of artificial emerald, as a result of transmutation, with the Hermetic doctrine embossed on it.

Improve Your Relationship Through the Timeless Wisdom of Vedic Compatibility Astrology

2007-01-04T20:40:00.000-08:00

Relationships are one of the most important areas of life. The interplay between masculine and feminine energy is internal as well as external. The external relationship with our partner mirrors the internal relationship we have with these forces within ourself. Vedic relationship astrology is a remarkable system of scientific measurements, commonsense and holistic wisdom. Improving our external relationship, we improve our internal awareness and vice versa. Vedic astrology is deeply connected to the other Vedic sciences of yoga, ayurveda.

Both Western astrology and Vedic astrology uses the same planets, signs and houses. Yet, there are a few major differences between Western and Vedic astrology which reveal why Vedic Relationship astrology is so amazingly accurate.

Whereas Western astrology places importance on the Sun, Vedic astrology places more importance on the Moon. Vedic astrology uses 27 distant stars (called "Nakshatras") in the horoscope.

The Sun refers to our individual nature, not our desire to partner. Thus relationship compatibility must revolve around the moon, the planet of nurturing, vulnerability and receptivity. Vedic relationship astrology focuses mainly on the moons of the couple. Assessing the moons will reveal the flow of emotional energy and the quality of love flowing in the partnership. The moon is the planet of trust and comfort. It is related to our childhood, that time in life we are we were vulnerable. Based on this vulnerability we developed strengths, insecurities and complexes based on receiving things that felt good or bad. Throughout our life these strengths and weaknesses become modified, gently filtering our perceptions and attracting the experiences we feel ready to and worthy of receiving. We carry this fragile emotional psychology into our relationships. This is why when a person has a difficult childhood, they will repeat those difficulties in their relationships. It is because the Moon is what we are comfortable with, what is familiar to us. If turmoil is comfortable to us, that is what we seek in relationships. Astrologically, these emotional habits are shown by the Moon.

Vedic astrology uses 27 lunar signs as mentioned above. These 27 signs focus the subtle, refined emotional nature of each person with much more precision than 12 Western Sun signs. Yet within this increased precision there is even more refinement.

The "Ashta Kuta" (eight points) system classifies and compares each of these 27 archetypes based on more than ten criteria: (There are the 8 point giving Kutas and several other important comparisons)

* Friendliness with the other person's Moon ruler
* Temperament
* Sexual compatibility
* Vocation and caste
* Element and style (fiery, watery or airy)
* Capacity for receptivity and forgiveness
* Capacity to manifest externally as a couple, etc.

All of these criteria are actually applied to every planet in the chart adding a 10 fold strength just to the surface of Vedic Astrological compatibility. Through this subtlety it is possible to examine each planet.

In relationships the Planets show:
Sun - Our independence in the relationship
Moon - Our capacity to feel open and comfortable with the other person
Mars - Our strong ideas of how things should or shouldn't be in the relationship
Mercury - Our capacity to communicate and be flexible
Jupiter - Our common philosophies and principles, like values and religion
Venus - Our desire to experience pleasure with the partner and how we behave once the partner stops fulfilling us.
Saturn - Our need to feel safe, have proper boundaries and put in the necessary effort with the partner.

This amazing refined system shows all of the subtleties in human interaction, not just romantic relationships. It reveals why, perhaps you and your boyfriend have a good sex life, but cannot manifest anything outside of the bedroom. (High Gana Kuta, low Bhava Kuta). Or perhaps you share many interests in common but there is no spark, (High Graha Maitram, Low Yoni Kuta). Or perhaps you get along fine, but as soon as there is problem it is as if a whirlpool sucks you down into a maelstrom of confusion. (High Ashta Kuta points with Vedha or Rajju blemish)

To review:
* Vedic relationship astrology emphasizes the Moon, not the Sun
* Vedic relationship astrology uses 27 stars (Nakshatras) to delineate the planets with much more precision than twelve Sun Signs
* Vedic relationship astrology assess the 27 Star signs based on a ten-fold criteria to glean the subtle implications from each station in life.

This incredible level of accuracy is why they started arranging marriages thousands of years ago. It was not to oppress, it was to liberate and to help. It is no different than a nutritionist telling you what food is best for you or a counselor telling you which type of activities to avoid for increased peace and mental health. Once we learn to trust the universe again and restore the dignity to astrology, these truths will seem any more oppressive than a trusted doctor giving advice. Once rightly understood, Astrology is revealed to be an amazing tool for harmonizing our personal energy with the presiding universal wisdom that is all benevolent and leading us to the truth of who we really are.

A General Look at Alchemy Part 1

A Lesson in Karma

2007-01-03T20:39:00.000-08:00

Once in a far off land there was a young monk who liked to spend most of his time in silent contemplation. Often he could be found walking down the road, deeply absorbed in prayers without much attention to what was going on around him.

As it happens, there was a bully who liked to take advantage of people weaker than himself and whenever he could, he would bother the monk, taunt him, tear at his clothes, even hit the monk for the pleasure it would give him.

The monk barely noticed any of this, and would continue on his way thinking only about his consciousness and responsibility to achieving evolution within himself.

This went on for some time with the monk enduring many beatings and humiliations from the bully while never lifting a finger in self-defence or even the slightest admonishment for bad behavior.

Another monk had noticed this, and one day, walked up to the victimized disciple, saying

"Why do you not hit him back?"

The answer was silence, as if the monk could not understand the concept of hitting anyone for such violence was the furthest thing he could possibly consider from his goal of achieving a higher state of consciousness.

The days went by. The beatings went on. The other monk would from time to time approach the victim again and again asking "Why do you not hit him back?"

Always the answer was the same,- a rather dumbfounded and confused look, unable to understand any concept involving violence as the answer to anything.

Then one day, the other monk approached him again, but this time told the victimized monk to look down the road and observe a house burning in flames.

Sure enough, it was the house of the bully and it was burning to the ground. The victimized monk stared at it, somewhat surprised, and not knowing what to make of the incident.

The other monk stared at him and said firmly.

"You could have stopped this from happening, if only by hitting the bully back."

The victimized monk stared at his friend, then back at himself, now noticing his tattered clothing from the repeated beatings. Then he stared at the house burning and all of a sudden he knew what had happened.

For years he had been building his consciousness in the same way that one builds a house. His prayers were his insulation from evil. His meditations were his rooms of peaceful contentment. His ethics were his walls of safety and his love for God was his ceiling and roof. All of these and so much more were the security he had built over a lifetime of prayer and dedication to goodness.

Someone had tried to make him violate his house, prodding him into a situation where he would have to violate his prayers, meditations, his ethics and beliefs by hitting back,- for to become violent himself would have indeed ruined all he had strived to build.

Indian Marriages - Astrology Guides

2007-01-03T20:38:00.000-08:00

Most of the Indian arranged marriages are decided on the merits of the astrological match; after the preliminaries of course. The preliminaries do cover a lot of territory such as social status equation, financial stability etc. The families involved would prefer to involve with families of equal status.

Priority in the list of merits should be Paapagriha saamya. There are three counts; papa-griha-saamya, dasaa-sandhi & sama dasa and star-match in this order.

The first step is the valuation of the paapa-griha in both the horoscopes and it should be equal or the valuation of the girl’s horoscope should be very slightly less than that of the boys’.

Dasa-sandhi should be matching. In our life, there are 9 dasaas in this order, venus-14 years, sun-6 years, moon-10 years, mars-7 years, rahu-18 years, jupitar-16 years, Saturn-19 years and mercury-17 years and kethu- 7 years, and the total will be 120 years, a man’s life time; and if a person lives beyond this age, the dasaas will start all over gain from the beginning. For every one at the time of birth a different dasa starts according to the star. No matter which part of dasa starts these dasas and will continue in this order only. During some of these dasaas, a person has to suffer a lot, and during some other dasaas he will have every thing in perfect harmony. This simply means there are good times and bad times in our lives. When the husband is going through a bad dasaa, the wife’s dasa should be good, supporting her husband’s bad time. This way their life together balances out, to enable them to lead a normal life with minimum storms and upheavals. In case both the husband and wife face bad dasa at the same time, disaster will strike. This could even be fatal. On could lose his or her life or something equally bad.

The third step is star-match, in the order of preference. There are Rasi match, Rasyadhipan match, Vasyam, Ganam, Yoni, Dhinam, Mahendram, Sthree deergham, Rajju and Vedham. Out of ten, more number of matches are preferred.

Astrology's Unique House to House System

2007-01-02T23:39:00.000-08:00

One of the things I really love about Astrology is how it puts together the puzzle pieces of life. Nowhere is this more clear than in the House to House method of understanding the zodiac chart. In this system, we are able to find the effects of how each house works by imagining it as the first house or Ascendant. Then we count each succeeding house from this.

In other words, to solve a particular problem, we go to the house symbolizing the problem and move it to the Ascendant. The house following this house becomes the second house symbolizing the individual's values concerning the matters of the house in question. The next house would be the third house in relation to the problem house, or what the individual thinks, learns and communicates about the 'problem' house in question. In this way, each house in the horoscope has twelve different perspectives on how any of the matters it concerns can be approached.

To know about a person's child we would look to their Fifth House. Their Sixth House, would be the Second House from the Fifth and would indicate the value systems of their child. To know how the child gets along with others, we can look at the Eleventh House (which rules friendship) from the Fifth House. This would be the individual's Fourth House. The sign on the cusp of the house we arrive at, as well as planets in it or aspects to it, will complete the story.

Suppose a Gemini rising individual builds a library of crosswords, romance novels and astrology books. The third house of lower mind describes the crosswords (Leo). The fifth house of romance describes the novels (Libra) and the ninth house of higher learning describes the astrology books (Aquarius). The second house from each anchor house shows its values. Crosswords are valued by the second house from the third, or Fourth House (Virgo) for their intricate words challenging the lower mind. Romances are valued through the sixth house, the second from the fifth (Scorpio) i.e.books with hidden intrigue, sexuality, and difficult plots.

Astrology books are valued through the tenth house, the second from the ninth (Pisces) for evoking intuitive sensory responses that transcend mundane life. If we want to know where in their library the person would put their astrology books, we look at the fourth house (home) from the ninth house (higher mind). An air sign on this house could put the astrology books on higher shelves,- earth signs lower shelves, fire signs near sunlight and water signs near mist.

The Square Aspect and the Modes

2007-01-02T23:38:00.000-08:00

The square or 90 degree aspect is often thought of as a tension aspect between two areas in life that do not experience harmony with each other. To understand this aspect thoroughly, we should first understand that it is almost always between two signs of the same mode.

Thus a planet in Aries will, most of the time, find its square aspect, to a planet in Cancer or Capricorn,- both of the Cardinal mode,- the same as Aries. If a Taurus planet is experiencing a square it will most likely be in either Leo or Aquarius, both of the Fixed mode,- the same as Taurus.

One might think that if two planets are in the same mode they would experience a natural agreement and not the kind of friction and tension that a square seems to represent. It is not so much that the same mode is disharmonious, for in fact, it is not. Where the disagreement occurs is that the two signs in square aspect to each other, although they may want the same things, disagree terribly about how to get those things.

As a result, if an individual wants achievement he would if he were an Aries simply charge ahead through life, with little regard for the consequences (because of the Mars rulership of the sign) whereas a Cancerian (also a cardinal mode sign) would try to achieve it by making others into their extended family and then emotionally try to enlist their help. At the same time, a Capricorn (also of the cardinal mode) would try not to act emotionally at all, or in any immature fashion that might detract from their desires, and instead apply themselves through extremely long and tediously hard work.

At any point through the zodiac, the square aspect represents at odds methods of achieving the same thing. What is even more interesting is that these 90 degree distances between signs also symbolize houses with the same distances. To understand the difference in outlook between a Libran, for example and a Capricorn ( two signs in 90 degree square to each other), we would also have to understand the natural houses involved. Libra rules the natural Seventh House of marriage and partnership, while Capricorn represents the Tenth House of fatherhood, career and standing in one's community. As a result, where Libra would try to do things in partnership to achieve goals, Capricorn would rather give orders to inferiors or wind up doing things themselves.

Thus, we can see that some of the differences between planets in square to each other, regardless of where they occur in the horoscope, are not so much a disagreement insofar as what the individual wants out of life, but rather what means they are willing to use to achieve those goals.

Planets involved in a square will act differently, depending upon what signs and houses the square falls in. The resultant course of action from squares to Libra will be quite different than squares to Aries, Cancer or Capricorn.

Think of the other Modes and the same thing occurs. In the Fixed Mode, represented by Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, these signs have very different approaches to life, even though their end goals might be similar. Planets in Leo receiving squares would love a good fight, especially if others know about it and can be the audience, while similar planets in Aquarius receiving a square, would deal with the same tensions by walking away. Taurus and Scorpio would never deal with tensions in the same way. Taurus would rebel immediately where Scorpio could seethe for years at a time without saying a word until the time is right.

In the Mutable Mode, represented by Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, the tensions of squares bring about changes on different levels. Gemini changes its ideas and thought patterns. A virgo receiving a square would change their methods and how they function. Sagittarians might change their location and Pisces would change their beliefs and dreams. Again, it is not that these individuals are so different, for in fact they are not insofar as what they want out of life. It is mostly how they think they can go about getting it.

When Transits Do Not Work

2007-01-01T23:37:00.002-08:00

If the belief that knowing astrology can better one's life has any truth to it, then it would certainly be important for us to pay more attention to the transiting planets, especially during the times when they get close to our natal planets as well as crucial areas of our chart.

I have seen many a student look years ahead in an ephemeris to try to find a period in their life that they can look forward to, in anticipation of a particular transit. It is of course, natural to think this way. However, what actually happens in fact, is a far cry from what is normally expected.

How many times have you anticipated a transit over one of your planets, or midpoints, or angles in your chart and after waiting some months or years for the transit to occur, found that regardless of all your expectations, when the transit finally occurred, - nothing happened to make a noticeable difference in your life!

This has for many years been one of the most seemingly contradictory violations of astrological influence that most students of astrology have at one time or another experienced. For some, this kind of lack-of-occurrence can easily shake their belief in astrological theory itself.

Yet, if we understand why this happens, we might get a very different view of life and our place in it.

There are a lot of things in life that offer opportunities, yet you cannot partake of all of them. For example, if a big sports event is occurring in your local arena but you do not have the price of admission, then you cannot attend it. As a result, the event goes by with no influence to your life.

If a recent snowstorm has frozen over a nearby lake and made it perfect for ice skating, you cannot partake of this opportunity if you do not have ice skates or the experience to know how to skate. Again, the universe presents an opportunity, but it is only for you if you have paid the admission.

In Astrology, the same thing happens. A transit occurs, but the expected effects of it can only be experienced by those who have paid their karma for it, in the area of life it is effecting. To see this, consider a Jupiter transit over natal Mercury. This would expand knowledge, presumably giving the individual a broader understanding of whatever is on their mind. The point is, that a person who has not karmically evolved their mind, might get little or no benefit from such a transit.

A janitor might find a better cleaning product, and for him, the results of the transit would go basically unnoticed. On the other hand, someone who has worked on their Mercury for many years or many lifetimes, and has earned the karmic right to have it well aspected and well placed by sign or house, may well be a college professor or a great thinker of our time. Under the very same transit that hardly benefited the janitor at all, this individual may well come up with a theory that advances mankind.

In yet another example, consider the woman who has a pattern of getting involved with men that are bad for her. She may constantly find herself attracted to individuals who cannot shoulder responsibility. Yet, she keeps believing that under the right transit this will all change. She may even make several marriages, all ending with the same dismal results, because she has not yet looked at the Karma of her behavior patterns. Once she does, and begins to resolve her karmic problems, then she becomes ready for real change to occur in her life whenever beneficial transits trigger the karmic lessons she has learned in her natal planets.

The important point to this is that it is far less important to know where the transits are or try to anticipate how they will affect you, then to pay your the Karma of every planet in your chart properly, so that whenever transits effect them, you will be karmically ready and deserving to benefit from the transits' power for change.

It is my fervent hope that my books bring this lesson across, so that no matter what the time is in history, or transits going through your chart, you are applying to your Karma in this life, rather than waiting for the heavens to do it for you!

Astrology and the Stars Within Us

2007-01-01T23:37:00.001-08:00

Astrology the missing link?

Every man and woman is unique among earths many forms of life. This exulted position is the gift of an advanced brain, a biological machine so complex that it parallels the universe from which it was spawned. We are the reproductive effort of earth and cosmos. In some way we must relate to the universe in which we live and astrology is one attempt to find this link between us and nature.

Shakespeare says: “ The fault is not our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings”. A well known astrologer had said: “ The stars impel; they do not compel”. St. Thomas Aquinas says: “ The planets influence the more elemental part of man than passions”, but, through his intellect man can arrange his life in harmony with the planets, and also cultivate his inherent talents and manipulate them for his betterment.

The stars within us

But astrology cannot automatically solve all your problems. You must do that yourself. Just like a doctor who can discover the nature of disease, an astrological study can only show certain aspects of your life and character. After that it is left to you adjust your way of life. Of course, the task will be made easier, knowing what it is that you are up against.

Some people are too dependent on astrology. Keep in mind that astrology is very much an imperfect discipline and even the best astrologers can make serious mistakes. Use astrology intelligently just as you would use any tool which would make your life more comfortable and more enjoyable. In the end it is you who determines what the stars are saying.

Do not expect good luck to come to you or be handed to you easily without any effort on your part. If you want to reap the harvest, you must sow the seed and it must be the right seed. You will find what you seek only if you are willing to look within yourself and with a objective mind follow the stars you find there.

Importance of Date Selection in Feng Shui

2006-12-31T23:36:00.001-08:00

How important is date selection in Feng Shui? Date selection is in fact one of the most important factor in Feng Shui. Often, date selection can be considered s a single subject when you learn or study Feng Shui. Without a good date selected for the execution of Feng Shui, your Feng Shui setup might seems to have no effect at all, or worst of all, bad effects. Most of these bad effects are caused by Sui Po or San Sha (3 killings) of the date or time used to activate the Feng Shui setup or changes. Hence if the Feng Shui setup or changes are done on inauspicious date or time, it will likely brings misfortune to him/her.

There are however plenty of date selection methods out there each with its strength and weakness. Just to list a few date selection systems here:

Xuan Kong Da Kua Date Selection

Great Sun Date Selection

Five Elements Date Selection

4 Pillars Date Selection

9 Stars Date Selection

Dong's Date Selection

Qi Men Dun Jia Date Selection

So under what situations are is date selection required? Generally, people use date selections for all sorts of events including start of new businesses, property developments, business negotiations, house renovations, shifting of beds, setting up Feng Shui changes, burials, etc.

Some Feng Shui masters tend to suggest to their clients the appropriate changes to their home or working environment without suggesting the date and time to perform these changes. So the next time you engage a Feng Shui master to perform an audit, do remember to ask for an auspicious date to maximise the good effects.

Can A Psychic Really Tell You If You Will Really Get Back Together?

2006-12-31T23:36:00.000-08:00

Throughout the years I have received many calls from men and women who want to know if their relationship is over. My heart goes out to all of you who have loved and lost. It could be a very scary process. It is also very tricky and a 50/50 chance for any psychic to perceive if this person will return to you. Many various scenarios have happened over the years to convince me that many random situations can occur for your lost love to return.

One truth always will be discovered in this lifetime for all which is: Was it or was it not meant to be?

We all have many soul mates our parents are our soul mates, our teachers, friends, relatives, children etc. Many of us are predestined to meet and be together. In most cases it's only for a limited time. Just to learn the necessary lessons to get on to the next important relationship in your life.

When a client consults with me I am usually able to determine how many relationship transitions they have prior to a relationship of permanence.

For example, Mary could have 2 more relationships prior to meeting a more stable suitable partner. Since we all have the free will and power to change and avert things Mary can adjust the way she chooses men to potentially attract this person faster. In some cases, I can help people with the answers as to why this relationship ended by channeling on the other partner. Another alternative is to research their former love's astrological chart. Most often when there is a break up, there may also be an astrological explanation. A chart can show personality traits, needs, frustrations and also give an indication of a the presence of a planetary alignment that may have a more random explanation as to why the break-up occurred.

For example, many spring romances that start and end every quickly due to a certain planetary alignment known as mercury retrograde. It is a period of time during the year where the energy of the planet mercury revolves in a backwards motion. This can result in a sudden end or upheaval in a relationship. Many psychics and astrologers have their own explanation as to what can happen during the three weeks of time that a mercury retrograde can occur. The one point of agreement is that the break-ups that occur during this time are very unexpected and swift. The dates in which mercury retrograde can occur each year can be easily found on many astrological calenders available for search on line.

Based upon whatever reading a interpretation a client receives during a reading. They need to remember that in the end they are in control of choosing to make a final attempt at contacting their lost love to try make amends or move on.

In a very spiritual aspect God made us whole and perfect with everything we need with the goal in mind that we go out and love and help the world and not just keep all of our love in reserves for just "one" person. This means reaching out to people and giving love ( by giving you automatically receive) .

Many of my clients have found when they go out to give their love and charity to the world and they take their mind off of meeting that one special soulmate, all of a sudden, their soul mate appears.

Conventionally speaking, most experts may advise it doesn't matter why he/she left. You are a valuable human being. Never let someone's exit devalue who you are. You do not need a man or woman to validate your worth in this world. There is no reason with the growing population on this earth that you cannot attract a better person towards you. I have always noticed when speaking with a client, they always describe a similar scenario of a love relationship that ended without closure.

The real question here is if you can handle the truth and how do you know if the psychic is right?

Here is an simple visualization exercise you can do to help you see the truth for yourself. Picture yourself in a movie theater. You are watching a movie of you and your mate on the screen. There is a calendar on the upper right side of the screen. See the calendar advance month by month and watch how your picture changes. Is this person still with you or are you apart. Is this picture far away or clear and close up. Is it blurry or clear in focus. What is significant about this picture. If your picture is far away then chances are behavior will be set in motion to separate you. If it is close up there is still a chance for you to take the initiative to work things out. I ask people to take two minutes a day to do this exercise. It is important that you write down what happens so you can gage your accuracy.

Chinese Astrology Compatibility

2006-12-30T23:35:00.000-08:00

There is a belief amongst the Chinese community that those who are born four years apart are more compatible than those who are born six year apart. And those that are born 6 years apart are likely to be less compatible. Do you know why?

In the 12 Animals Zodiac system of astrology, our character is influenced by our year of birth. For example those born in the year of the rat are intelligent and suspicious while those born in the year of the horse are generous and loves freedom. Based on our year of birth we are imbued with certain characteristics that make us more of less compatible with each other.

According to the ancient Chinese, the Monkey, Rat and Dragon form a compatible set. They have characteristics that make them more compatible with each other. The other compatible sets are the Snake, Rooster and Ox; the Pig, Rabbit and Goat and the Tiger, Horse and Dog. If you check the year of birth you notice that they are four years apart. For example those born in 1964 are Rats, 1968 are Dragons and 1972 are Monkeys!

The Rat on the other hand is supposedly less compatible than the Horse. They form an incompatible set. The other incompatible sets are between Ox and Goat, Tiger and Monkey, Rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog and between the Snake and Pig. If you check the year of birth you will notice that they are six year apart!

The Chinese astrology compatibility tools that you find on the Internet are largely based on the above mentioned principles of combination and clash. Most will also include more combinations and clashes that I have not mentioned above but I hope you get the idea.

What if you and your spouse form an incompatible set? Do not panic. Did you notice that I used the word ‘supposedly’ many times? In practice our character is also heavily influenced by the month, day and hour of birth which is not taken into consideration in the above examples. Therefore it is entirely possible for a Rat person to display characteristics of other animals (influences from the month, day and hour of birth)!

The Best Way to Give a Psychic Reading

2006-12-30T23:34:00.000-08:00

The best way to ever give a psychic reading is directly from your heart. Millions of people are in need of getting a psychic reading almost daily. You have to just allow yourself to come forward in order to give someone a lot of love and a lot of psychic advice.

People that get psychic readings are usually interested in how you can help them to see something that may not be so clear to them. This may involve you spending more time during a psychic reading with another person or it may make you feel as though you have to discipline yourself in order to give someone an accurate psychic reading. Sometimes a good psychic reading takes a lot out of you spiritually. You often have to practice mind control and feel like someone is going to give you a lot of love.

A person that wishes to receive a psychic reading usually has some idea in the back of their mind as to what the psychic reading should look like once it is all over. If you find that sometimes you can’t understand something, then you should ask a master psychic who will be able to open your eyes to new and different things. A good master psychic will be able to show and tell you how to read better.

Becoming a master psychic is never easy. It takes a whole lot of discipline and a lot of meditation. You have to practice mind control on a daily basis if you are ever to advance yourself in a psychic career. The more focused you are, the more you will be able to focus on a clients problems and you will be able to better instruct them on what to do. A good psychic client will always allow you to read from your heart. Other psychic clients may give you a hard time during a psychic reading and pressure you to give them more information than what you know you are able to give.

Can a Psychic Predict If You Will Marry a Murderer?

2006-12-29T03:36:00.001-08:00

With several murder stories in the news from Nicole Simpson to Laci Peterson and the unforgettable John Bobbitt, many of my clients have asked me if they are likely to have a marriage that could lead to murder. There is no simple answer to this question. After watching several news interviews of the victims in these situations. They all expressed coming to a point of feeling afraid of their spouse and no longer trusting them or their whereabouts. In some cases where children are involved, they expressed fear of leaving their children a round them when they were in a bad mood.

Many of these victims had problems moving on with their own life because their spouse consistently harassed them and would not let go. In other cases, their spouse was cheating, and decided to sabotage their own family as way of seeking revenge on the cheating spouse. I can mainly stress to you that if there is ever a situation where you are in a relationship and the contact with your love interest starts to escalate where arguments get out of hand, or they threaten you or taking their own life if you leave them, they refuse to disassociate with dangerous persons or display psychotic or irrational behavior, then you know it is time to check out.

This patterns need to be recognized early. In many of these cases, the spouses waited too long to leave and still entrusted their mate with responsibilities or watching children. From an astrological perspective there are signs that mix like oil and water. Where long-term relationships can be turbulent: Please also check your love interests ascendant. May be the sign you are born under may not be compatible but your ascendants are.

This list is only for turbulent love interests and marriages.

Pisces can be turbulent with: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces

Aquarius can be turbulent with: Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces

Capricorn can be turbulent with: Aries, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Capricorn

Sagittarius can be turbulent with: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces

Libra can be turbulent with: Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces

Virgo can be turbulent with: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces

Cancer can be turbulent with: Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio (if there is alcohol/ drug use and is not faithful), Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius.

Gemini can be turbulent with: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces

Taurus can be turbulent with: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Pisces

Aries can be turbulent with: Pisces, Capricorn, Libra, Virgo, Cancer, and Taurus.

There are 12 astrological signs and most of us are only compatible with half of the zodiac. Some of us less than half. It is important to choose your soul mate carefully and recognize the difference between infatuation and true love.

11 Ways Nurses Can Become Mystics

2006-12-29T03:35:00.000-08:00

What is a Mystic?

Mysticism from the Greek (mystikos) "an initiate" (of the Eleusinian Mysteries) (mysteria) meaning ("initiation") is the pursuit of achieving communion or identity with, or conscious awareness of, ultimate reality, the divine, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight; and the belief that such experience is an important source of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

Traditions may include a belief in the literal existence of realities beyond empirical perception, or a belief that a true human perception of the world transcends logical reasoning or intellectual comprehension. A person delving in these areas may be called a Mystic.

In many cases, the purpose of mysticism and mystical disciplines such as meditation is to a reach of state of return or re-integration to Godhead. A common theme in mysticism is that the mystic and all of reality are One. The purpose of mystical practices is to achieve that oneness in experience, to transcend limited identity and re-identify with the all that is. The state oneness has many names depending on the mystical system: The Kingdom of Heaven, the Birth of the Spirit, the Third Awakening, Illumination, Union (Christianity), Self-Realization, Reintegration, Nirvana (Buddhism), Samadhi (Hinduism), and Gnosis, to name a few.

The term "mysticism" is often used to refer to beliefs which go beyond the purely exoteric practices of mainstream religions, while still being related to or based in a mainstream religious doctrine. For example, Kabbalah is a significant mystical movement within Judaism, and Sufism is a significant mystical movement within Islam. Gnosticism refers to both a mystical movement within Christianity and various mystical sects which arose out of Christianity. Some have argued that Christianity itself was a mystical sect that arose out of Judaism. While Eastern religion tends to find the concept of mysticism redundant, non-traditional knowledge and ritual are considered as Esotericism, for example Buddhism's Vajrayana. Vedanta is considered the mystical branch of Hinduism.

1) Learn To Love All beings As God Loves

2) Learn to surrender to the innate wisdom that is within all of us

3) Learn to transcend learned habits, change course and get in line with your true nature

4) Learn that we are all equal in Divine Radiance

5) Become committed to your own transformation

6) Accept the impermanence of life and look at that which lasts, which is permanent, such as Love and Joy

7) Be aware of every moment as a witness--becoming One with the sea of consciousness which is free, nonjudgemental and loving

8) Balance the male and female with in yourself by detaching as witness, loving ALL at the same time

9) Fill your life with nonsuperficials, such as Love, Joy and Communion With The Divine

10) Nurses in the Middle Ages sucked the wounds of lepars and healed them. They did this by "Loving until it hurts," in the Saint Francis and Mother Teresa tradition. This is called, "Radical Acceptance." Acceptance of self and others. Seeing with clarity the Divine in All

11) Fill your life with a sense of love, with Abundance, with Prosperity. See your life as Eternal, Trascendent and Immortal. Give your life away, and know it can never be diminished. There is no lack. You are full of a loving and caring essence. Your Heart Shines Through All!!

Born With The Moon In Scorpio

2006-12-28T03:35:00.000-08:00

According to Astrology, the exact location of the moon during the time of your birth determines your emotional reaction to the world around you. While the astrological sun colors your outwardly aggressive actions, the moon dictates your inner, passive or receptive urges. The moon is your "female energy" - she represents the type of nurturing energy you project, and/or the type of mothering you received as a child. Today we will discuss the Moon in Scorpio.

The Scorpio Moon: Joy and Pain

The Moon is literally in its fall, or denouement, in this sign. For this reason, Scorpio Moon folks are known to grapple with themselves on the inside. They typically experience all emotions extremely, deeply and totally - ecstasy, sorrow, elation... and yes, their tempers, when provoked, can be explosive. To complicate matters, Scorpio Moon people regard their own emotions as a source of vulnerability and therefore try to keep their true feelings under wraps. So, it's not surprising that while many Scorpio Moons are traveling this earth feeling everything very intensely, they're also wearing this kind of detached look. After all, if they were to be found out, there would be very grave consequences indeed. What those consequences might be is anybody's guess... but if the Scorpio Moon is the one doing the imagining, it's sure to be quite catastrophic.

The Scorpio Moon, in a nutshell: intensity. Intense likes, intense dislikes, intense fascination, intense disgust... and yes, in keeping with the general Scorpio reputation, intense love affairs. This is a very black-and-white, all-or-nothing moon with extremely fixed notions about things. If you're loved by a Scorpio Moon then you are loved fiercely, totally and completely; but if you're despised by a Scorpio Moon, then you may as well not exist. And it's quite possible in dealing with this turbulent moon native that both emotions may be directed at you at different points in this lifetime. If a Scorpio Moon perceives that you have slighted them in some way... better make good immediately, or run and hide until the mood passes, because in all likelihood, revenge is being plotted against YOUR head!

The Scorpio Moon: Offsetting the Drama With Private Relaxation

Scorpio Moon people tend to go through life acting on hunches, "reading between the lines" - picking up subtle nonverbal cues, moods, intentions, underlying messages and such. Indeed, someone with this moon placement may get a very different meaning from the same conversation heard by someone with a more literal and pragmatic mind. This is not only quite distracting to the moon native, but when they react to these perceptions it often leads to undesired consequences and drama. Thus, the irony of the Scorpio Moon; being consumed by the very internal composition one despises in himself, and attracting drama-infused situations as a direct result of trying to avoid them.

A troubled Scorpion Moon person should allow herself some distance from time to time... a private sanctuary where she can sort out her emotions, get a healthy perspective and then emerge from the "cocoon" with renewed inner peace and a higher purpose in mind. Indeed, reflection and meditation feels quite natural to this introspective moon native and is encouraged as a way to take the edge off and temper the extreme moods. A deeply sensitive soul, capable of great courage and strength... there is much room for psychological growth and wisdom to be gained with this lunar positioning.

The Scorpio Moon: A Powerful Force for Good OR Evil

As with any sign, there are both positives and negatives to the Scorpio Moon placement. The sign of Scorpio has been assigned two symbols- the Scorpion and the Eagle. The former, a covert creature who stealths along the ground; and the latter, a symbol of power and might, soaring into the high heavens. Lows and highs... the Scorpio Moon is quite familiar with both states of consciousness... more than most, in fact.

Spiritually evolved Scorpio Moon souls can (and should) harness the gift of their emotional intensity and move proverbial mountains with it. If a Scorpio Moon person is intrinsically good, then that goodness of spirit can manifest itself in divine ways... extreme compassion and generosity toward fellow man, great and unshakeable integrity, impeccably honest conduct in business and personal affairs, and a permanent seat on the side of righteousness and justice. An enlightened Scorpio Moon will pledge his whole self to any and every cause he deems important; profess his undying faith to his family, home, country; and even make the ultimate sacrifice in a lifelong promise to serve God. Yes, this moon placement is often found in religious leaders, as the spiritual aspect is heavily emphasized here.

Less evolved Scorpio moons, on the other hand, are not averse to using abject means to get what they want. The concentration of power in this sign placement has led many a wayward Scorpio lunar native down a dark and devious path of corruption. In direct contrast to their enlightened counterparts; illicit affairs, illegal and underhanded dealings, petty and deceitful behavior, psychological turmoil, and loyalty to no one but themselves are trademark signs of the afflicted Scorpio Moon. Again, this is all due to the fact that Scorpio is in the moon's fall, thus making emotions feel uncomfortable, unnatural and all-encompassing. With the all-or-nothing theme at work, indeed this placement will produce some extreme results.

The Scorpio Moon and Sex

It has been said that sexual impulses drive the Scorpio Moon native moreso than other moon signs, perhaps because they radiate such passion and intensity that they're forever in need of release. The Scorpio Moon is equated with transcendental lovemaking or "soul sex" in which the participants experience an exalted state of consciousness by way of the physical sex act itself. Clearly, while "sexual nirvana" is hardly a day-to-day occurrence, this moon person has been labeled as having an extra potential for such achievements. At the very least, this moon person admits to having a high sex drive, even allowing sex to affect his or her decisions at certain points in life.

The Scorpio Moon as a Nurturer

The Scorpio Moon Nurturer is fiercely protective and psychologically all-consuming. Scorpio Moon Mothers, or "Smothers" as they are sometimes known, must learn to temper their intensity. If the Scorpio lover is possessive in her affairs, the Scorpio mother is equally possessive of her children. It will be her ongoing challenge to "let go." These moon natives must get a reign on that fretfulness that leads to strings of sleepless nights, and interfere less in the daily trials and tribulations of their young sons and daughters. Scorpio Moon Mothers must generally permit themselves to chill out, cool down and back off. An earth-sign or earth moon-sign partner can lend a comforting and grounding effect for the Scorpio nurturer who has let the worrying get out of hand yet again.

Other signature themes and preoccupations of the Scorpio Moon: secrets, mysteries, severity, psychology, power, control, passion, revenge, obsession, loyalty, sex, depth of feeling, ethics, spirituality, solitude, death. No, the Scorpio moon is surely not made of green cheese, but rather some of the most powerful facets of human existence. This lunar native must learn to embrace the reality of his or her own emotions as opposed to running or hiding from them. If the Scorpio Moon person can navigate his or her own spirit to a higher and more exalted place, he will recognize the potential for complete and total happines that lies within himself... and the transformation will be powerful for certain.

Astrology Signs Reveal Hidden Attitudes

2006-12-28T03:34:00.000-08:00

An attitude is an opinion, a set way of looking at something. Your specific attitudes can be seen quite clearly in your astrological chart. For example, if Mercury was in the sign of Cancer at the time you were born, you would have a very different attitude toward the home than a person born with Mercury in Sagittarius. This is only one attitude. There are many more that are revealed by the various planetary positions in the twelve signs of the zodiac.

It is very important to know what your attitudes are if you really want to understand yourself. This information will also help you understand what attitudes you need to change in order to get along well with other people.

Obviously, some attitudes are positive, creative, and support your goals. They work for you. However, there may be other attitudes that you will want to change, or need to change if they are preventing you from getting what you want or obstruct your relationship with other people.

So, the questions is, "What are the attitudes that I have that are detrimental to me?"

A skilled astrologer can make all of your attitudes very clear to you and explain precisely how they tend to function under any given situation. This is extremely valuable information.

In all human relationships, we encounter some people who appreciate our attitudes because we support what they are trying to do. At other times, we have to work with people who have very different attitudes than ours. We are in conflict with the way they see things -- their attitudes.

Since you cannot change the other person, you will need to know what atttiudes you need to change to get along with them. The clash of attitudes that you experience with them can be fully understood if you look at how their astrological signs relate to yours. Your astrology signs, as well as the other person's astrology signs, will need to be thoroughly analyzed so that you will know what to do about your relationship.

These are extremely beneficial insights that a professional astrologer can give you. Your hidden attitudes, as well as those of other people, will not be hidden any longer. With the astrologer's help, you can become completely aware of what is going on inside of you as well as within those people who are involved with you.

The Month of Capricorn, 2006-07

2006-12-27T01:45:00.001-08:00

The karmic planet Saturn guides our Sun’s transit through Capricorn, beginning on 7:22pmEST December 21st. Capricorn is our final leader on the Zodiac wheel, initiating winter as it begins upon the solstice. Collectively we are meant to learn patience, stability and wisdom over this period. Currently Saturn is in Retrograde, and for some these lessons may be harder to achieve, as Retrograde periods easily can allow blockages and challenges to achieving the positive aspects of that planet’s guidance.

While enjoying all the pleasures and finer things in life, Capricorn natives achieve them all through practicality and discipline. Like their symbol, the Goat, they never stop working, ultimately allowing our Saturnine friends to manifest the material as their reward. This cardinal earthen energy appreciates what is established and stable in life.

Organized to a tee, the ultimate goal of perfection is the outcome of whatever task a Capricorn sets their mind to. The natural urge to work rarely lets them have fun, and with the possession of a hidden and subtle sense of humor, their virtues are never far away. The conscious aim for integrity grants our Goats with a strong sense of reverence and duty to their agendas.

Keen in the capabilities to utilize, conserve, persevere, and concentrate, Capricorns attain one goal after another, often starting from a very young age. The nature is fatherly, just, cautious, economical, ambitious, and dependable. At worst the attitude is self-absorbed, scrupulous, suspicious, mean, snobbish, morbid and uninspired. Through the cultivation of sociability, buoyancy and effective self-expression, the typical Capricorn easily learns to have more flexibility and fun in life.

During this astrological month, Saturn, now in Retrograde, continues in its transit of Leo. We are asked to REflect and REassess in the house Leo governs in our astrological chart. Looking to any individual’s personal month numerical cycles, January marks the start of their repetition till March to reform what we have gained from last October to December. Over this period, Saturn is meant to aide in our self-reliance, settling karmic ties and mysteries, and ultimately allows them to come to the surface to be dealt with.

As time continuously evolves, whatever sign Saturn is transiting, is the area of life in need of cleansing that which is not serving us in our lives. Choosing resistance during these natural times of renewal only makes them all the more challenging to get through. Saturn grants us our LESSONS learned: for when we heed them NO ONE LOSES so there is NO LOSS.

Shortly after the Christmas holiday Mercury joins our Sun and Venus in Capricorn, while we continue forward in learning more of those fatherly wisdoms. Look for attitudes of the collective to be practical until Venus enters Aquarius, when values see a release; now able to be more inventive, original and humanitarian oriented. December 27th through January 3rd marks intensity in the house Capricorn rules in anyone’s birth chart.

Mars catches up with our Sun upon January 16th, allowing the collective’s drives to be extra rooted in discipline. Mars remains in Capricorn until February 25th, so again look to the house Capricorn rules in any birth chart to see where you’ll see an extra boost over this period. Mars accelerates and energizes, often bringing new ideas and beginnings while in any sign it is currently transiting through.

Mistakes are only lessons waiting to be learned. As we continue to learn through our experiences, once we KNOW: NOW we have WON.

Psychic with 9 Guides Reads Others, Teaches, & Heals

2006-12-27T01:44:00.000-08:00

September of last year, I had a blonde woman about 30 years old, with long straight hair show up in my bedroom, sit on my bed and just look at me for a while. For lack of a better name for her, I named her Len, like the name of the alternative rock band that sings one of the cutest songs. She was visible, but you could kind of see through her, she was nice though, I could feel a lightness around her, but without her even ever having to speak, I knew what she was there for. I could feel vibrations from her and sensed what was happening. She was a temporary guide of mine. She stuck around...

Guides can be temporary or permanent, as well as they can be there to tell you about a past life or about something they want you to do career-wise. She literally inhabited my body in order to tell me what she had to say. She was very insistent about what she was telling me and since I had already been told what she was trying to tell me, I was reluctant to listen, because I had heard it when I was 20 and thought it was silly, so I blew it off.

She stuck around for days repeating herself and I realized I was hearing her from inside my own head, but it was a different voice, other than my own, and she repeated what she had to say until I acknowledged what she was saying. A few days of that, I acknowledged it. It was information about my own past life, my very first one, should I say. I was not into past life readings, before this, so it was kind of a surprise for me that she would repeat what I had already heard once before. I listened and she cleared out, satisfied that I had finally gotten the message.

A few days later, she returned… with a new message for me. A single word, “Kundalini, kundalini, kundalini, kundalini, kundalini…” and on and on and on and on. I looked through every single book I had in my possession. A channeling book was the only one that I had, in years of a collection of books and studying, that even briefly mentioned this kundalini thing. With reluctance to make her mad and have a need to come back and repeat it to me even more than she already had, I acknowledged that I heard what she was telling me with the intention of looking it up. She was satisfied and went away again.

Kundalini is serpent energy that is stored at the base of your spine, in your root chakra. A Kundalini rising occurs when the energy shoots up your spine out of your crown chakra. It can be painful with some really nasty side effects and it can take years to completely have your Kundalini rise up if it is not done properly. However, Kundalini rising leads to some very interesting psychic activity and awareness and something called Kundalini fire, which is a factor to healing. I learned to do those kundalini awakenings, to heal, either through distant, remote or hands-on method and to teach others to heal or teach. Only someone that has had their Kundalini rising can pass this on to others. With it, you can heal injuries and you can heal situations, provided that there are not blockages from unknown issues or problems that aren’t being dealt with, at the time. You can even heal those situations that stem from something in the past with Kundalini Reiki.

Tachyon Reiki is my favorite, though. Tachyon is zero-point energy, or equivalent to holy ghost or holy spirit energy, that when applied to any chaotic or disharmonized situation, zooms into and targets that disharmony and restores balance and harmony to it. It can be used for healing any situation under the sun. It is completely safe to our bodies. You can tachyonize water and drink it for better health.

I have had remarkable results in peoples’ situations with Tachyon. Even one from a criminal case where I was trying to work in the background. In this case, literally everything that could go wrong, did. It was unbelievable how ridiculously this case had been handled. It was stressing me and draining me because local authorities were just not hearing what I was telling them about it. I couldn’t get to the client to lay hands on them or directly apply the tachyon healing method to them, so I wrote this client letters and tachyonized the letters. I can literally go beyond prison bars, if I need to, to help someone, now. With months of Tachyon applied to the situation, the case is about to go back to court for an appeal. This case was one of the most challenging things I have ever dealt with in my life and my career. It’s going well, now, because I learned what Len was telling me. I can also help abused women and kids, being a survivor of it myself.

Astrology India

2006-12-26T21:53:00.000-08:00

Indian Astrology has a history of more than five thousand years. Indians believe strongly that the stars govern their destiny and have immense faith in astrology. Astrology in India plays a very important role in deciding matrimonial alliances and determining the right time for starting new ventures. Predictions help you overcome misfortunes and provide a solution to overcome the ill influence of the celestial bodies. It is the guiding force at various stages in a person's life. Astrology simply shows the way in times of difficulty. It is merely a roadmap, and the individual has to make the effort himself to improve his life.

Indian astrology is nothing but the planetary chart of an individual. It is accurate and helps overcome bad tidings and misfortunes during the person's life. There are three main branches of Indian astrology, namely Siddanta, Samhita, and Hora.The study of planets and stars comes under Siddanta. Natural calamities, weather predictions, and rainfall come under Samhita. Another branch, the Phalitha Jyothisha deals with the art and science of predictions. The Nadi system traces a person's life history and future as written on palm leaves. This system is highly accurate but it requires proper reading by a skilful astrologer.

Components of Indian Astrology Indian Astrology comprises twenty-seven constellations in twelve lunar houses. The Moon plays an important role in an individual's life. The Sun, Moon and five main planets, namely Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury along with Rahu and Ketu, the nodal points of the Moon are the pillars of Indian Astrology. The position of the Moon at the time of his birth or in a specific star helps to make the person's astrological chart. This decides the astrological star of the person and is important to determine the important major and minor sub-periods in his life.

Vedic Astrology Vedic Astrology or Jyotish is as old as about 1500 BC, long before modern day, astronomers as Kepler and Newton made their appearance. The principles of Vedic astronomy propounded that the planets revolved around the sun, long before Western astronomers. This and several other principles were far ahead of their time and still hold today. Vedic astrology has its basis in astronomy and determines the time of religious ceremonies and functions. There are instances of Vedic Astrology cited in the ancient Hindu scriptures, the Rig Veda, and the mythological stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Jyotish literally means remover of darkness and knowledge of the divine. It takes a holistic view of life incorporating the present, the past, and the future. It is a search for the ultimate knowledge and seeks to understand divine truths.

This form of astrology takes in to consideration the effect of electro-magnetic celestial influences on an individual's mental and psychological being. The underlying principle is that an individual's destiny depends on his actions and it is his job to do his karma, irrespective of the outcome of his actions. Jyotish or Vedic astrology is therefore a study of the symbiotic relationships between living and celestial bodies in the universe.

Birthstones Birthstones form an integral part of Indian astrology. There are specific birthstones for people born in a specific month of the year. Some of the birthstones are amethyst, garnet, cat's eye, aquamarine, lapis, moonstone, pearl, red coral gomedh, sapphire and ruby. Wearing the right birthstone helps improve your life, finances, relationships and career. It brings mental peace and stability in thought and actions. Birthstones help to increase the positive effect of certain planets and to minimize the negative influences of other planets as per your birth chart. The proper birthstones emanate positive energy and form a protective aura around the wearer. However, you must consult an astrologer and wear the appropriate birthstone only as a wrong birthstone can have a negative impact on your life.

Indian astrology is therefore like a guide map to life. The planetary positions indicate our destiny, but ultimately we have to perform the requisite actions to get the desired results. Moreover, faith is important to ensure that the astrological predictions work for you.

Origins and Perceptions of Tarot Cards

2006-12-26T21:51:00.000-08:00

In a world that is modern and full of scientific advances and experiments, there are still some long standing traditions that claim to incorporate mystic forces. People check their horoscopes on a daily basis live by superstitions and believe that there are some things that cannot be explained. A major phenomenon that is now back in fashion is the use of tarot cards to predict a person’s future and discover their past and present issues. 15th century Italy is generally believed to have been the time and place that the use of tarot cards began. The cards consisted of the Minor and Major Arcana. The Minor Arcana includes each of the four suits. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that do not belong to any of the suits. The trend spread across Europe and became extremely popular with nobility and commoners alike. Tarot was used to predict events and eventually became of particular use to people who were interested in the occult.

The association of tarot cards and the occult led to the belief that tarot cards were involved in the dark arts and certain religions began to ban the use of tarot cards amongst their followers. Tarot cards then became a secretive form of expression with people using the divination of the cards privately. More recently, tarot cards have experienced a renewal in popularity, as people are more likely to view astrology in a light-hearted way whereas in past times they were overly superstitious. Tarot card readings have once again become hugely popular with a lot of people venturing to have their cards read on a regular basis whether for fun or for serious guidance in their lives.

There is a huge market in this type of divination at present. Even on sites like Ebay, tarot card readings are available for sale. Occult shops often depend on the sale of tarot items for their main source of income and even regular bookshops now sell tarot cards and books on tarot. There is a certain fascination with divination in general and tarot cards can be attractive and appeal to a wide range of people. Tarot cards can come in all sorts of designs and colors and the collection of tarot cards is now as popular as the reading of them. Books giving instructions on the use of tarot cards and the different spreads available are now commonplace. There are even tarot parties where a group of friends hire a tarot card reader as the entertainment for the party. One of the party members may have some knowledge in the use of tarot cards and use their skills to give readings to their friends.

Tarot cards are now so commonplace that they are no longer completely associated with the dark arts and are generally viewed as a harmless form of divination. Gone are the misconceptions that tarot card readings are performed by unsavory mysterious characters. A decent tarot card reader does not give deep, dark predictions of unwelcome events. They should instead make the customer comfortable and give a general guidance without actually instructing the customer on what to do with their lives. As some people have a dependence on this area, the tarot card reader should be able to recognize when a person is not stable enough to receive a reading and should also have the integrity to then refuse the person a reading. It is an area where the are many con-artists and scams but like anything in the world, the majority of people should not be judged by other people’s actions.

Love Astrology and Venus

2006-12-25T21:50:00.002-08:00

Love Astrology is becoming very popular as more and more people realize the potential of this ancient, timeless wisdom to shed light on life’s great mysteries. Relationships sure are that, a mystery. Free daily horoscopes in the paper do little to shed meaningful light on relationships however; in fact they are misleading and cause many to dismiss love astrology as ineffective or just plain superstitious. Yet for those who know better, horoscope compatibility is an effective way to understand the complexity of relationships.

Relationship Astrology Insights

Much insight into relationships can be learned even from just a cursory glance through the lens of astrology. For instance, astrologically, the house of relationships is the furthest thing from you in the Astrology chart. You, the subject, are read from the first house, the rising sign, also known as the ascendant. Your partner is read from the 7th house or the descendant. This is the furthest point from you in the chart. Similarly, relationships are perhaps the hardest thing we do in life. They are an attempt to integrate that which feels the most alien to us.

Universal wisdom knows that the only way we would face such difficulty or attempt such a Herculean task is if our desires were also the strongest; this is also the case. The seventh house, a house of desires. We want something from the partner, to satisfy our desires with them. The sexual bond that attaches us in relationships is the necessary glue that keeps us going back again and again to face this most un integrated part of ourselves. All of our guts are on the floor and the stakes are high in relationships, otherwise we simply would not do it.

In many ways, the process is quite silly. We care so much about what a certain person thinks just because we think they are good-looking or because of some physical "chemistry switch" that goes off. The person could be dumb as a bag of hammers, but if they are good-looking, or we are attracted to them, suddenly we want them to like us or find us attractive also. Another person could be the most intelligent, insightful person in the world-but if there is no spark, who cares what they think, right?

Venus, Bringer of Love

The planet of attraction, beauty and desires is Venus. Through the miracle of Venus our worldly, trivial association with fleeting forms of beauty and desire becomes transformed into selfless love, devotion to love itself. This love is one more concerned with giving, not taking. This deeper love is our true nature and the reason we suffer when our love fails. Falling short of this ideal is how we fail ourselves.

If we are to return love to its dignified place we need to honor the desires of another equal to our own and thus, compromise with them, also the realm of Venus. In order to get our needs met we also have to allow another to get their needs met also. We are willing to give up what we want now if we want to get more of what we want later. Venus in Astrology chart shows how a person's relationships unfold. Only Venus can transform our desire to experience sensual pleasure and gratification into the desire to please and help another person.

Venus is the planet that teaches us how to live on Earth properly, because she's the one who teaches us how to play fairly. The capacity to yield and remain loving in spite of our disappointment and frustrated desires is the miracle of relationships. When we are able to do this we feel whole. This is why few things are more rewarding in life than growing in relationships and dealing with those difficulties gracefully. We feel like we are making profound spiritual progress when we are able to succeed in relationships.

Love is in the Stars - Relationship Astrology part 2

2006-12-25T21:50:00.001-08:00

Man and Woman – Sun and Moon

In Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, the Sun and Moon are described. Masculine energy is related to the Sun. Feminine energy is related to the Moon

Description of Surya. (The Sun) Surya's eyes are honey-colored. He has a square body. He is of clean habits, bilious, intelligent and has limited hair (on his head).

Description of Chandra (The Moon) Chandra is windy and phlegmatic. She is learned and has a round body. She has auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickle-minded and very lustful.

Attributes of the Sun and Moon (Man and Woman) are compared:

* Body: The man has a square body; the woman has a round body. * Process: The man is filled with intelligence; the woman is filled with knowing. * Looks: Sun, The man has honey colored eyes; the woman has auspicious looks. * Constitution: The man is bilious (fiery); the woman is watery and windy. * Psychology: The man is consistent; the woman is fickle minded

Let’s explore these characteristics:

The Moon is the most changeable of all the planets. It is the fastest moving; it is different everyday. The round body of the Moon shows the woman's changeability and creativity. She is susceptible to rolling here and there, depending on which way the wind is blowing or other environmental conditions. Yet this changeability also makes her creative and adaptable, which helps the man not stay so fixed so as to become rigid. His square body shows the consistency of his actions. A square is a structure of support upon which other objects can be placed. This allows for vertical growth.

The intelligence of the man is of the mind. The knowing of the woman is of the heart. Intelligence comes from a rational perspective then moves forward. Knowing comes from an emotional place and generally reflects backward. This is why women tend to rely on memories. Men tend to want to move forward, looking for solutions, which are of the future. There needs to be balance and a sharing of both attributes, a thoughtful consideration of the past combined with an intelligent course of action for the future.

The woman's auspicious looks, attracts the man's honey colored eyes. Women want the man's attention and like attracting it. Men like to look at women. A relationship works best when the woman feels the man's attraction to her and the man wants to give to her. The woman's sweet speech and knowing attracts and supports the man's intelligence.

The man has a fiery constitution, which is related to competition, passion and digestion. The nature of fire is independent. It has the capacity to illuminate, purify and provide warmth. The nature of water is connective. It has capacity to sensitize, nourish and heal. Yet fire can also lead to anger and excessive desire. Water can also lead to excessive emotion, drowning in a flood of dependency.

She is fickle minded. The square body of the man reassures her. A square is solid and not so easily moved, thus when she is rolling around she would like to knock into a solid surface.

Relationship Astrology Attributes

These are essential truths, stripped of artifice and modern political correctness. Of course all people have both qualities of the Sun and Moon within them. But in relationships, the woman wants to surrender her Moon to the man's Sun and he wants to give his Sun to her Moon. She surrenders her heart to him and he surrenders his power to her - or NOT.

Each gender ultimately seeks to assimilate attributes of both male and female; but until our essential gender strength is validated in the partnership, we will not be able to relax and evolve toward our opposite. We all want to merge with that opposite energy, to assimilate the qualities inspired by our opposite and to inspire assimilation in them. We all want to be free and unburdened of the responsibilities of the limiting qualities of our gender, but this unburdening must come from a position of strength, not confusion.

Love is in the Stars - Relationship Astrology part 1

2006-12-24T21:49:00.000-08:00

Relationship Astrology part 1 - Elemental Astrology. This is #1 in a series of relationship astrology articles.

Relationship astrology is nothing new, yet it is experiencing a renaissance these days as more and more people rediscover the ancient, holistic wisdom that astrology offers. Thousands of years ago, every culture used astrology. The human beings who lived on Earth at the time developed subtle and meaningful spiritual technologies; astrology was among them. Just as humans today develop technologies that bring about more convenience and entertainment, ancient cultures everywhere developed subtle and magical systems awakening. Astrology, as the science of universal energy and unfolding time, was chief among them.

Even the most cursory look at a basic Astrology book will show the importance of masculine and feminine energy in life. There are two female and two male elements in the astrology chart. Each element is repeated three times through different modalities. (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable)

The four elements in the Astrology chart from the densest to finest are: Earth and Water (female) -- Fire and Air (male) -- LET'S LOOK DEEPER.

Feminine Energy in the Astrology Chart

Earth shows our physical body as well as all things that are practical, useful, tangible and material. Our life unfolds through our physical body and its needs are the most urgent when they arise. The element of Earth will remain at rest unless acted upon by another force or object. Earth provides the tangible structure for which our life unfolds, but it may also be the stagnant quality that prevents our life from moving forward.

Earth rules the sense of smell.

Water shows the flow of our senses into our environment and the deep emotional connections formed. Water is related to our feelings. Water and Earth together creates growth, in the form of plants. Plants provide food and sustenance for all creatures as well as oxygen for us to breathe. Water gives a connection to love and feelings, which gives rise to a caring heart and a compassionate life. Water rests upon Earth and nourishes it, just as the senses feed, and love nourishes, our body. Yet water may make us cling to fantasies, memories or emotions. Water rules the sense of taste.

Female Energy wants to stabilize, sensitize and nourish us, just like Earth and water. Thus women are generally the most interested in feelings, emotions, stability, and being grounded in their body and senses. When feeling a sense of lack in these areas, a woman's actions and thought's will tend to be inconsistent and hard to understand.

These feminine qualities of Earth and water are fundamental to any actions that come later. For both men and women, if we are disconnected from our deeper feeling nature , our actions (as shown by the male signs) will lack sensitivity and meaning.

* Generally speaking, when women feel good about themselves, they will do good things.

Masculine Energy in the Astrology Chart

Fire shows our passions, drives, motivations and digestion of all sorts. As water feeds the body, fire digests what it is fed. Earth and water creates plants; fire is hidden in the plants. Not only is food digested, all information and sensory stimulation must be assimilated and digested. This process of digestion creates heat, warmth and light that illuminates our path; or this fire may burn us or others or create smoke that obscures our path. Fire rules the sense of sight.

Air shows our thoughts, philosophies and motion of all sorts. Fire disperses into the air, into the atmosphere. The food we eat, after its digested leads to movement of all sorts, both in the body and the mind. Air is related to the breath, the vitality. The motion of air can have a worthy goal and bring great understanding or it can be scattered and devoid of meaning by disturbing our peace of mind and emotions (Think of air creating waves on water). Air rules the sense of touch.

Male energy wants to assert, comprehend and protect, just like fire and Air signs. Men are generally the most comfortable in situations where they can think independently and do something for themselves or others. When they are unable to think or act in a situation, their feelings will be inconsistent, unpredictable and hard to understand.

These masculine qualities of life are necessary if we are to grow in truthful identity, strength and understanding. Lacking a clear purpose and consistent powerful actions, our life will stagnate, lack direction and we will not grow toward a higher purpose.

** In general, when men do good things, they feel good about themselves.

In the Vedic sciences there are five elements; the fifth element is space. Space (ether) is related to pure consciousness, the witnessing self, which is not identified with the previous four elements. Space is the container of the other elements; everything exists in space. This is why we are able to perceive our thoughts and actions, watch them move and witness them. If there were no space between our thoughts or no space operating behind them, from what vantage point would we be able to observe them?

Space refers to our freedom and flexibility. We are not just confined to qualities of life on Earth. We have the free will to decide any course of action and observe our mind/body events.

Can Palmistry Be Used To Foretell the Future

2006-12-24T21:48:00.000-08:00

Years ago, I saw a cartoon of a gypsy traveling on a train. While the people around her read books, she was busy reading her hand. Amusing as that cartoon was, I must confess that from time to time I like to study my own hand. I’m continually amazed by the way that the lines are constantly changing, reflecting things that have happened or are currently happening in my life.

About ten years ago, when I was traveling overseas, my plane ticket was stolen in an Eastern Block country. That night I had a tormented night of sleep. The next morning I looked at my hand and was surprised to see that during the night there had been a significant change to a travel line. This change reflected exactly what would now transpire due to the ticket being stolen. In this case, the event (the theft of the ticket) preceded the change on my hand. However, marks on the hand also warn of events that will occur in the future.

The most significant lines on the palm are the heart, head, life, fate and Apollo lines. Important changes in a life can be gleaned from the presence or absence of any of these lines; from their trajectory; breaks and markings thereon and their depth, width and color.

A palmist will find that the two questions everyone seems to ask are ‘how long will I live?’ and ‘will I win the lottery?’. Can the answers to these questions be seen on the lines of the hand?

One would expect that the life line would be the best indicator of the length of life. I once heard an interesting story. A man had examined his young son’s hand and noticed that he had a very short life line. This worried the father greatly and his fears were confirmed when his son drowned at the age of seven. As tragic as this event was, the man was somehow comforted by the belief that his son had been destined to live a short life.

On the other hand, another man with a very long life line was admitted to hospital with a serious illness. His wife studied his hand both on his entry to hospital and during his stay, and noticed that the life line actually shrank during this period of time. The man died soon after at a quite young age.

So, even a long life line is not a guarantee of longevity. If we are blessed with ‘good’ lines on our hands then poor lifestyle can undermine them, just as poor lifestyle can undermine good genetics. It does help though, to have a strong life line. This would be a line that is robust in appearance with no breaks and a consistent strength throughout its entirety.

One person’s life line was extremely robust in appearance until the age of sixty. After that time the line became stringy and pale. It transpired that the owner of the hand had indeed enjoyed good health until the age of sixty. However, after that age he found his health failing and now, at the age of sixty five, he felt that he had no energy and that everything he did exhausted him.

When islands appear on the life line they indicate a weakening of the life force. At the point where the island appears, the life force could be diminished in some way. For example, a friend of mine has a life line that has so many islands on it, the life line looks like a chain. Coincidentally or not, during her life she has suffered from many illnesses, some extremely serious.

Is it possible to forsee a lottery win on the life line?

A friend of mine examined the hand of a man who had won the lottery. At the exact point of time of the lottery win an island appeared on his life line. She was surprised by this sign and she told the man that rather than seeing good signs on his hand indicating a joyful win, all she could see was a bad marking. He sighed and agreed with her. Apparently from the moment he’d won the money he’d had nothing but misery. Everyone knew of his win and he was constantly being bombarded with demands from family and friends asking for money.

Chinese Astrology Forecast for United States in 2007

2006-12-23T21:12:00.001-08:00

In 2007, the United States would encounter a series of major troubles that involve the conflict of interest among different political parties. The U.S. government would be in an inferior position in the beginning.
The Trigram that represents the luck of the U.S. in 2007 is Kun, this time with the third stroke changed from last year. Those familiar with I-Ching, or the Book of Changes, can tell the third stroke of a trigram represents danger. It implies internal struggle and conflicts which would surely happen to the U.S. On top of that, its trigram also shows the least compatible / desirable combination: a Kun trigram with hidden Shi and Bo trigrams. Shi represents warfare and confrontations. Bo means an erosion of territory or authority, leaving only the bare essentials.
As a democratic nation with an extensive territory, there are demonstrations in the various scales in the U.S. every day. It is a sign of human rights. Yet, a trigram representing its luck of the year seldom refers to things that happen habitually. In other words, the ‘internal conflicts’ as foretold by the trigram refers to something more substantial that civilized demonstration.
Here are the two key trends in the U.S. in 2007: 1. The conflicts between different groups of its people and the uneven distribution of resources have accumulated grievances.
Those problems finally escalate to the point where its people have to take a more violent approach.
2. The hidden enemies of the U.S. would turn the country upside down with shady manipulations.
Yet, no matter what happens, the Americans would live on as usual.
What is Chinese Astrology?
Chinese Astrology is one of the most ancient philosophies still in existence today. The Chinese Astrology uses the Chinese calendar, which was invented in the 27-22 century B.C. by Emperor Yellow or known as Yellow Lord (Huangdi).
In ancient China and up till today, Astrology has been used to predict what happens to countries, the outcome of wars; weather of the year; economic trends, fortune of people and much more.
One complete cycle of the zodiac takes 60 years, which composes the arrangement of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. The year 2000 marks the 17th year in the 78th cycle.
The animals signs are commonly known because of the legend of the Jade emperor summon the 12 animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig ) for a race. However, the configurations of the heavenly stems and earthly branches are much more important for astrology.

Here are some free Feng Shui tips for you:
Feng Shui Tip 1: The Effect of Electrical Appliances on Feng Shui
In Feng Shui, the auspicious areas of a house should be kept as spacious as possible so that the positive energy can be flow smoothly. There should not any obstruction to the flow of Chi (or Qi) in auspicious sectors. Thus, big or heavy furniture items should not be placed there. This is also an important concept in the practice of Vastu Shastra.
In Feng Shui, sound and electrical energy have the effect of activating Feng Shui stars (good or bad). Therefore, the placement of electrical appliances such as television, radio, fan or computer can affect the Feng Shui of a house. These electrical appliances
should be placed at the auspicious sectors. Furniture which can be placed at the inauspicious sectors includes sofa, cupboard, etc.
Generally speaking, the left side of a living room is the Green Dragon while the right side is the White Tiger. The Green Dragon is considered auspicious while the White Tiger is considered inauspicious. Electrical appliances should generally be placed at the left side of the living room while the big furniture like cupboard or sofa should be placed at the right side of the room.
Feng Shui Tip 2: Road That Curves Away From a House
In Feng Shui, roads are the modern version of water. Thus, the curvature of a road affects the Feng Shui of a house. A road that curves away from a house facing the entrance creates a strong and negative flow of energy called Shar Chi (Sha Qi) towards the house. Since water represents wealth in Feng Shui, the presence of such as a road will have a negative wealth effect on the inhabitants of the house.
To solve this problem, place a windscreen in front of the entrance to prevent the negative Shar Chi (Sha Qi) from "entering" the entrance directly.
Feng Shui Tip 3: A Long Straight Road That Creates Shar Chi (Sha Qi)
In Feng Shui, a long straight road facing a house can create Shar Chi (Sha Qi) to the house. The longer the road is, the stronger the Shar Chi (Sha Qi) that is created. Inhabitants of a house facing this Shar Chi (Sha Qi) will encounter problems like accidents or other "blood-shedding" incidents such as having to undergo a surgery or operation.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to place a windscreen in front of the door or entrance. This will prevent the Shar Chi (Sha Qi) from entering the house directly.
Feng Shui Tip 3 : A Door That Faces Another Door
In Feng Shui, a door facing another door can create Shar Chi (Sha Qi) between the two doors. There are four possible scenarios:
(a) Main door of a house facing main door of another house
In this scenario, the inhabitants of both houses are likely to be quick-tempered and quarrel frequently. To solve this problem, place a windscreen in front of the door.
(b) A room door facing a toilet door
This scenario takes place within a house. Besides problems of quick tempers and frequent quarrels, the inhabitants staying in the room might develop digestive and urinary diseases. To solve this problem, place a windscreen in front of the toilet door if the room is big enough. If there is not enough room for a windscreen, simply close the toilet door.
(c) A room door facing a kitchen entrance
This scenario is not as problematic as the first two scenarios. Nonetheless, inhabitants of the room will be prone to accidents and minor injuries and if the problem persists over time, inhabitants might encounter major accidents. To solve this problem, place a windscreen or hang a bead curtain in front of the kitchen entrance.
(d) A room door facing another room door
This scenario is the least harmful of the four. Tempers might erupt occasionally and if inhabitants are working in an office environment, office politics will occur frequently. To solve this problem, place a bead curtain in front of the room door.
Feng Shui Tip 4: Locating An Auspicious Main Door
The main door plays an important role in the Feng Shui of a house. Thus, it is important that the main door is located in an auspicious sector of a house. Generally speaking, the main door should be located in a position which enables positive Chi (Qi) to flow into the house.
If there is a pond or empty space in front of a house, the main door should be located at the centre of the house facing the pond or empty space.
If a road passes by the front of a house and slopes from left to right (or the left side of the road is longer than the right side as seen from the front of a house), the main door should be located at the right side of the house facing the road.
If a road passes by the front of a house and slopes from right to left (or the right side of the road is longer than the right side as seen from the front of a house), the main door should be located at the left side of the house facing the road.

Love Horoscope And Sex Horoscope Help You To Seduce The Man And Woman You Want!

Love Horoscope and Sex Horoscope Help You to Seduce the Man and Woman You Want!
Reveals the secrets to seducing the person of your desire based simply on his/her zodiac sign
To Seduce a Virgo Man
The type of woman who attracts the Virgo man in search of company always appears well groomed and conservatively dressed -- and, above all, has an air of propriety. They are very particular, and desire nothing short of perfection in their potential mates, which can leave them out in the cold more often than not. Good manners and good taste are essential for the consort of a Virgo man, as is a sense of personal responsibility.
He can be slowly seduced by a woman who can makes herself useful to him in little ways that can make him feel as though he cannot get along without her assistance. A Virgo man's paradox is that while he is seeking the perfect person (and rejecting many who were judged not perfect enough), he may settle his attentions on a woman who present a "unique fixer-upper opportunity."
To Seduce a Libra Woman
The type of man who attracts a Libra woman is charming, polite, and well dressed -- it also helps if he's good looking, romantic, and a bit old-fashioned as well. They tend to respond to mental and verbal flirtations more so than the crude physical kinds. Libra women can easily be charmed by a smooth talking suitor, and are generally attracted to creative types.
Serenity is what they are after, yet it becomes boring to them in the end, so they also like to shake things up a little now and then -- everything is kept in a neat and tidy balance in their lives. They are aroused by aesthetics and the perception of beauty, whether intrinsically or extrinsically. They may also find an argument arousing, as long as it remains verbal and does not get physically threatening.

Diet Horoscope An Easy Diet Plan By Zodiac Signs

2006-12-22T21:10:00.000-08:00

Diet Weight Loss program which Use Horoscope Zodiac Signs to Tell the Best Times to Lose the Most Weight with the Least Effort
Astrologers themselves found that the planets, sun and moon exert certain physical stresses on the earth. The effects of these stresses manifest themselves in weather patterns, planet and animal behavior, and most notably, in ocean tides.
Astrology is the reading if your horoscope-the map of the planets at the time of your birth. Like any map, astrology can give you your boundaries and the obstacles you will encounter-dieting, as well as in life. It will also show you how to use your cosmic energy by tapping into your strengths, and even your weaknesses, to overcome a certain obstacle-like being overweight.
Since the earth is constantly moving, nothing (including you) stays the same. To diet successfully, you must find out what your ‘givens’ are –where the sun was in your chart when you were born, what horoscope zodiac sign was on the horizon (your rising sign), and the placement of the planets at the moment of your birth. The placement of your sun tells how you perceive the world and what motivates you. Your rising sign tells how the world perceives you. The placement of your moon reveals how you interpret this information.
Most diet weight loss program limit your intake of all the things you love to eat, sometimes they do away with them, altogether. Knowing that you must give up these foods, and accepting it, are two very different things. If you cannot live without coffee with cream and sugar, black coffee may not get you through even the first day of your diet weight loss program. Many of us love and depend on certain foods, and the prospect of giving them up forever-or at least for the next ten to twenty pounds-may send us into fits of depression, or worse, into giving up the diet weight loss program completely.
By recognizing the eating and personality traits for each horoscope zodiac sign, you can eliminate this formidable barrier to successful dieting forever. When you learn what your givens are, you can begin to work with them and not against them.
For instance, the fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) have less trouble dieting than any other horoscope zodiac signs, since their bodies burn up calories most efficiently. Their diets are based on carbohydrate counting because their weakness stems from quantity: they will try to consume much more than they actually need, and they like foods with poor nutritional value. Their diets are based on the motto, ‘Eat like a queen in the morning, like a prince in the afternoon and like a beggar in the evening.’
You might start your diet whenever the spirit-or the necessity-moves you. But remember that you will not see the dramatic results you crave unless you diet during the correct astrological cycles for your horoscope zodiac sign.
The secret is timing. For centuries astrologers and farmers have known that the sun affects the plumpness of fruits and vegetables. Now astrologers noted it also affects the weight of people.
The earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, have a harder time losing weight because they let themselves gain weight for a long time before going on a diet weight loss program.
The air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, have little trouble losing weight because they have so much nervous energy. They tend to go on way-out fad diets, however, and that’s a weakness. They need to keep a diary of everything they eat in order to benefit from a diet weight loss program.
The water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, gain and lose weight at a phenomenal rate because most of their problem is not fat, but water weight.
Before you begin complete these four preliminary steps:
Step one: Self Evaluation.
If you are reading this article, you want to lose weight. You must set up a clear goal that how much weight you want to lose.
Step Two: Banish Guilt.
Realize there are times when you will find it hard to lose weight. If you don’t lose weight at these times, don’t be hard on yourself. Think of those times when you have been bursting with willpower; then think of the other times when you would have killed for a cracker. We have all had times when we can seem to eat anything and still lose weight. Then there are times when you stick religiously to diet and gain weight despite your effort. Knowing your astrological cycles will help prepare you for those times.
Step Three: Timing is everything
Use your horoscope zodiac sign and learn to do the right thing, at the right place, at the right time.
Step Four: Know Yourself.
Everyone has a different reason for being overweight. Study your likes and dislikes. Get to know yourself. It can help you explore your astrological map, but only you can find the most direct route to your goal.

Are You Playing The Fool to Your Advantage

2006-12-21T02:25:00.001-08:00

What does the appearance of The Fool mean for you when it appears in a Tarot spread? Do you get excited or worried? In this short article we explain what The Fool means when he appears in the Tarot.

The Fool is perhaps one of the most important tarot cards in the deck. He is the first card of the Major Arcana, the first of 22 cards. He is also the only one of the Major Arcana to remain in our modern card deck, appearing as the Joker. His journey is at a deeper level the journey we are all on - the journey through life and life's troubles, as no matter how old we are or what experiences we have been through we will still contine to find ourselves in areas where we are unsure, and vulnerable.

The Fool has appeared in many guises over the centuries in the different decks that have appeared. In the Visconti Sforza deck he is seen looking a bit like a tramp without shoes in his stocking soles, and threadbare at that! He carries a large stick or staff over his shoulder as though ready to commence a long journey.

In the Wirth deck he looks a bit like the court jester of old, and most like the forerunner of today's joker in the traditional card deck. He has however a cat with it's teeth sunk into his left leg, and a crocodile in the distance. The picture on this card seems to indicate the urge of The Fool to get on with his journey in spite of all obstacles both past and future. The Arthurian Tarot portrays The Fool as Parsifal who sought the mythic Holy Grail, and the Mythic deck depicts him as the Greek god Dionysus, wearing animal skins of many colours, and dancing gaily at the edge of a cliff.

No matter which deck we use the appearance of The Fool is a sign that we should follow our own path no matter what. We need to have the courage to jump off the cliff into a new venture if that's what is called for. We need to have faith in our convictions no matter how hard this might be.

The sound by which all things are created isn’t just any sound, it is the Word of God, this word pervades through everything that exists. The power of the spoken word in the form of prayers, hymns and chants, is a belief that is common to all major religions and these sounds resonate in churches, mosques and temples throughout the world. In Hinduism, Mantras are a combination of sacred words, composed mainly in Sanskrit. According to the ancient Hindu scriptures, the ‘Vedas’ and ‘Upanishads’, the chanting of Mantras can achieve enlightenment and oneness with God.

The visual equivalent of a Mantra is a Yantra, it is in fact the graphical representation of a Mantra. The literal meaning of Yantra is ‘Device’, but it is unlike any manmade device, as its working is in complete harmony with nature. It is believed that a Yantra possesses infinite power, that its results are miraculous and that it can not only remove problems, but also realize wishes.

Yantras are made up from Vedic symbols, comprising of straight lines, squares, rectangles, triangles and circles. These symbols are so precise in design, that even the angles employed are determined to the last degree. Some Yantras may also comprise of numbers and letters of the ‘Dev Nagari’ script. These symbols represent the five basic elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Air, Water and Ether. Each element is associated with certain properties. For example Earth denotes among other things stability, patience, material happiness and success. While Wind represents dishonour, sorrow and ignorance. These symbols are arranged so as to enhance one property and enervate the other.

The materials out of which Yantras can be created are very varied. These include ‘Asht Dhatu’ or an eight metal alloy, gold, silver, copper, crystals or even plant leaves. Some materials are more suited to the properties of certain Yantras. However, any Power Yantra has an intrinsic energy which is always radiated, irrespective of size or material and these factors are not critical to its power.

The energising of a Yantra is the most important aspect of its creation. Without performing the complex, ancient energising ceremonies, set out in the Vedas, a Yantra remains dormant. Once it has been energized an ordinary Yantra is transformed into a Power Yantra and in this state it is considered to be the dwelling of the Gods and Deities it represents. In fact Yantra also means’ Abode’. Genuine Power Yantras, such as those that can be found at powerfortunes.com, are fountains of positive energy, that shower on those who worship them.

The energising ceremonies, or ‘Havans’ are preformed only on specific dates, during certain months of the Hindu calendar. Once this date has been selected, the exact time at which the Havan is to be preformed is calculated. At that precise time, in the presence of a ‘Sacred Fire’, the appropriate Mantras are recited and offerings made. This is done so as to invoke the Gods and Deities to invest their power and presence on the Yantra, igniting it with positive energy. According to the learned Guru (teacher) Maharishi Kishore Yogi Raj of Dehra Dun, India, who creates and energises Yantras for powerfortunes.com (check http://www.powerfortunes.com/aboutyantras.html), “It is essential that pure, unselfish thoughts are maintained during the energizing of theYantras.

Without this, the Yantras will not bear the desired results.” There are numerous types of Yantras, each having its own unique design and purpose. Some may have multiple effects, such as the Sri Yantra. This Yantra is known to not only provide wealth and prosperity, but to also enhance mental concentration and harmony. Other Yantras may have a more specific purpose such as neutralizing the effects negative thoughts, evil wishes or adverse astrological conditions. Each Yantra has a corresponding Mantra. Repetition of this Mantra in the presence of a Power Yantra can have quite remarkable effects, especially in relation to the realization of ambitions and desires.

According to Dr. R.K. Shrimali, author of ‘Shri Yantra Rahesya’ or ‘ The Mysteries of the Shri Yantra’, Yantras also serve a functional purpose during prayers. That is, of providing a fixed point on which spiritual energy can be focused. It has been observed that when sound waves of certain frequencies are directed at a Yantra, the reflected waves mirror the patterns inscribed on the Yantra surface. This principle of wave polarization is believed to also extend to other energy forms, such as light, heat and magnetic fields.

Flying Stars Fengshui for 2006 Predictions & Remedies for Main Door Facing South

2006-12-20T02:23:00.001-08:00

Flying Stars or Fei Xing is a powerful form of Feng Shui derived from the famous Xuan Kong Fengshui. It is an Analysis of the Five Elements and Star Combinations (representing certain energy patterns) that occupy every building. Each new year these annual stars change, Qi (energy) shifts happen, bringing good and bad energy with them - thereby producing different effects.

In February 2004 all the Feng Shui Energy Patterns underwent huge transformations to the NewAge of Land Luck called Period 8 Energy Cycles. It means that a large scale evolution of the human race with completely new energy dynamics has started. The significance is that the new, vibrant energies of Period 8 impacts on the buildings differently than before and energies that were previously activated now need to be remedied, in order to reduce any bad effects from the past influences.

The Flying Stars Chart or the 9-Grid Meteor Plan for the Bing-Xu, Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog has been plotted and the effects of their energy patterns are analyzed. The analysis also contains suggested remedies/cures for reducing the impact of negative energy and recommended enhancers for increasing and improving upon the beneficial energy.

For the remedies/enhancers to be effective, they should be cleansed, energised, blessed and programmed not only for the particular individual/family but also for the specific purpose/problem. They should also be placed in the indicated location.

The direction in which your main door lies is very important to any form of Geomancy, including Fengshui & Vaastu. The primary reason for this is that the air currents and energy flow in and flow out through the mouth of the main door. Thus you receive positive energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of auspicious stars or meteors (powerful energy bodies) and receive negative energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of evil stars or meteors. In case negative impacts are forecast, you can simply offset the negative energy by installing the recommended remedies there. Any or all of these remedies can be reused for the coming years, the only thing is that they should be repositioned according to the new year.

God the Astrologer

2006-12-19T02:21:00.000-08:00

A frequent device in scripture is to put the most important item first in a phrase or a list. To observe the oceans move by the power of the moon, then declare that people are unaffected, is folly. To know that global conditions vary by the phase of the moon and claim it has no effect on people, is folly. So wherefrom came the idea that astrology is sorcery? It is a tribute to the dawn of the Aquarian Age, we don't execute astrologers for sorcery. So where did this link come from in the carefully cultivated Christian mind?

A story might explain it: In a large village, long ago and far away, there was a council of elders which pretended to wisdom. They were very jealous of a man who was truly wise and lived alone on the outskirts of town.

Being wise men of liesure they loved to spy upon the wizard. The council met weekly and discussed their wizard observations. In time the council decided the wizard was getting too much attention and probably offending God in the process.

The wizard was executed and the people lived happily ever after. To this very day, all the descendents of all the people of that village, know that wise men are wizards and ought to be put to death, as they did in Russia and China last century. Today, when an all knowing Christian tells me astrology and numerology are sorcery, I know who his/her parents were.

Cancer (horoscope)

2006-12-18T21:10:00.001-08:00

If you’re a Cancer you most likely already know that you are defensive and probably materialistic. You've noticed that you are capable of being trusted to defend family values or other treasures that might slip away from some other members of your family or friends.
Your intuition is a very potent secret strength. Sometimes you "just have a feeling." And this internal inkling protects you and those you love through all sorts of weather, throughout your life. Many of you Cancers have fallen for solid luck stories that warped out to be tall tales, while others have felt betrayed by someone you once trusted. Don't let yourself become bitter or withdrawn, or you'll sink deeper into confusion. Cancers are not destined to be by yourself - you need the safety of steady relationships, and the world wants you! Look inside for the foundation of bewilderment that allows you to be exposed to a rabble-rouser, fast talker or bad venture. Were you really taken advantage of, or did you allow your insecurities to quiet your superior judgment. Talk over your feelings with people you have a high regard for, transfer your thoughts into a diary, and generally get out of your shield in order to heal old wounds.
The record of Cancers mega-achievers is long, but the source of your power to achieve is not usually aspiration, in the conventional sense. You're just trying to take care of yourself and your family unit. You draw strength from customs of home, society and state. Your hard work to be a hard working civilian kind of naturally shift you into positions of status. Love of family and tradition is a great power for Cancer.

The Eclipses are Coming! - September 7 and September 22, 2006v

2006-12-18T21:09:00.000-08:00

Eclipses mean changes, good and bad. Where they happen in your chart determines what part of your life they will affect. Eclipses bring significant events into our lives--marriage, divorce, death, birth, career change, etc. Solar eclipses usually mean new beginnings, and lunar eclipses represent finishing things. They are the universe's way of cleaning house, and bringing us in line with life's energy. Even "bad" events bring us to better places. If an eclipse falls near your birthday, the following year will be eventful for you. Also, if it is near your birthday or your rising sign, watch out for health issues. Be sure to eat healthy, get enough rest, etc. Eclipses can be felt a few weeks prior to or up to 30 days past the actual event. If you would like to order a transit chart, I can give you a detailed look at how the eclipses will affect you.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7 will also be part of an aspect between Jupiter and Uranus with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. This could easily trigger an urge to do some internal housecleaning. We may begin to reexamine our faith and spirituality, or we may find that our connection with our higher power suddenly becomes much stronger. On a more material level, we may find that we are ready to invest in a new computer or electronic device.
The Solar Eclipse on September 22 will be in Virgo at the Karmic 29 degree point. We had better be ready to wrap up the old and begin the new, because ready or not, its going to happen. It is very likely many of us will take up a new health regime. Virgo's are inclined to health and hygiene. But, Virgo also rules subordinates. If you manage people in any aspect (including parents), this will be a good time to implement some changes you have been considering. Also because we are at the last degree before Libra, relationships may come to endings, or more possibly, new beginnings. If you are single and looking for someone, this eclipse may bring that Mr., or Ms. Right your way.
The Lunar Eclipse on September 7 will be at 15 degrees Virgo and Pisces. If you have any planets at between 13 and 17 degrees in Gemini or Sagittarius, this eclipse could be especially difficult for you. The Solar Eclipse on September 22 will be at 29 degrees Virgo. If you have any planets between 28 and 29 degrees Gemini or Sagittarius, or if you have any planets between 0 and 1 degrees Cancer or Capricorn, this eclipse may cause extra stress. Also, where these eclipses land in your houses determine what areas of your life that will be affected.

An Approach to the Avant-Garde - Jupiter Trine Uranus, August 17 through September 8, 2006

2006-12-17T21:09:00.000-08:00

Jupiter and Uranus are slow outer planets with Jupiter taking 12 years and Uranus requiring 84 years to orbit the Sun. It takes anywhere from 4 to 9 years for these two planets to come to a trine, and their influence lasts for a number of weeks. Jupiter represents expansion, generosity, and optimism. Jupiter brings us to look at general principles and our philosophy of life. Uranus is the planet of original thought. He is the electric planet bringing sudden unexpected change. Uranus also rules science and technology, and he encourages us to walk a different path.
Jupiter and Uranus were at a trine twice over the past few months. The first time was from November 17 through December 7, 2006, then Jupiter turned retrograde and it occurred again April 23 through May 17, 2007. Now Jupiter is moving forward again, and this is the last phase of the Jupiter/Uranus trine. They won't be at this angle again until 2014.
During this transit we may find ourselves attracted to ideas and thoughts that are at odds with society's norm. We may take a new look at world (or family) politics and be ready for a change. On a larger scale, we may find our governments looking harder and in different directions for peace and prosperity. With Jupiter and Uranus presently in water signs, it may also bring about deeper emotional changes for some of us. Some of us may decide we are tired of being miserable, and we are ready to make some internal changes to find happiness now.
This aspect will begin on August 17, and it will peak on August 28. But, on September 3, Mercury and the Sun will move to sextile Jupiter and oppose Uranus (creating a right triangle in the zodiac) recharging this aspect through September 8. And, on September 7 the Moon will also enter this triangle making a conjunction to Uranus during a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. So, this aspect could carry much more weight after it's peak than normal. Uranus and Jupiter will already be encouraging us to try something different, and the eclipse will set the scenario for change. Jupiter is in transit in Scorpio, and Neptune is in Pisces, both emotional water signs, so we may find that its time for emotional healing. But, when the Sun and Mercury move to connect the aspect, they will be in the efficient sign of Virgo. That may motivate us on a more personal level to make some changes in our lives. We may be ready to examine something or a situation from a more detailed view, and we'll probably want to make some changes.
Also, I wanted to mention that Saturn and Neptune will also be beginning their opposition at this time. Even though the Saturn/Neptune aspect will not be at a major angle to the Jupiter/Uranus aspect, we will be feeling the influence of each of these at the same time. Jupiter and Uranus will be encouraging us to walk a different path, but Saturn and Neptune may be causing some extra worries and holding us back. We may find that in some areas of our life we are ready for something new, but in other areas we are cautious to change. We may feel like we are caught in a tug of war.
Jupiter will be from 11 degrees to 14 degrees in Scorpio when this aspect occurs. Uranus will be in retrograde from 13 degrees to 12 degrees in Pisces. Check your natal chart. If you have any planets from 9 degrees to 16 degrees in Leo or Aquarius, or if you have any planets from 10 to 15 degrees in Gemini or Sagittarius, this aspect may be more difficult for you.

Political Corruption, is It in the Stars?Saturn Oppose Neptune, August 18, 2006 - July 10, 2007

2006-12-17T21:08:00.000-08:00

It takes Neptune approximately 165 years to make one orbit around the Sun, and Saturn requires approximately 29.5 years to make an orbit. So, an opposition between Saturn and Neptune only happens about every 35 to 40 years. The last time it occurred was 1972. Neptune is the ruler of dreams and the psychic, and he is also the great humanitarian. Neptune influences obviously help to create a great minister or psychic, but when Neptune is negatively affected he can create delusions and addictions. Neptune is presently in transit in Aquarius, which creates an independent and original perspective towards religious and scientific views. Also friendships and social events are increased. Saturn represents discipline, hard work, and organization, but he can also represent withholding, contracting, and resistance to change. Saturn is presently in Leo, making people cautious and yet bold in spirit, but there is also a danger to overwork. Oppositions create a "standoff" where it is impossible for the two planets to function in harmony. Its not a fight, but an inability to perform at the same time. Since Neptune represents our dreams and Saturn our morals, we may find ourselves confused to say the least.
Outer planets are slow and affect us more as a whole community, rather than individually. Because these planets affect us more as a generation rather than individually, we will see changes in our governments more than in our families. During a Saturn-Neptune opposition hidden influences can impede material goals. Often we tend to expect the worst. It can bring out treacherous, calculating, and selfish behavior, which often leads to dishonor and shame. Many failures, misfortunes, and misunderstandings could occur amongst our governments.
I decided to do some historical and astrological research to find out what happened when Saturn and Neptune were at oppositions in the past. I found out that this opposition has occurred only six times since the birth of the US, and every time seems to be a time of scandal and corruption, but also a time for change, good and bad.
1792 through 1793. The US Post Office was established, and the cornerstone for the White House was laid in Washington DC. In February of 1793 Washington held his first cabinet meeting. Also in February of 1793, the US government passed the Fugitive Slave Act protecting slavery. This act made an escaped slave a fugitive for life along with any children born. This set the scene for a whole industry of slave catching. At the same time the US was setting up its brand new concept of secular government (separation of church and state), the French revolution was at its height. Louis XVI was arrested, tried, and executed. And in Japan, the Unsen volcano erupted leaving 53,000 dead.
1827 through 1828. Just to give our readers a little review, John Quincy Adams became president in 1824 though a political maneuver. Four men ran for president that year, and Adams' opponents were Henry Clay, William H. Crawford, and Andrew Jackson. None of the candidates received a majority of the popular or the electoral votes, even though Andrew Jackson had received the most popular and electoral votes. So, the selection of president was left to the house of representatives, and because of political motivations John Quincy Adams (the first son of a president to become president) was chosen. Needless to say Andrew Jackson was upset, so in the next election in 1828 he accused Adams of corruption and won the election by a landslide. Adams did not deal with the public scandal well and returned to Massachusetts without attending Jackson's inauguration. And, thus began the reign of Andrew Jackson and the "Spoils System." Also in 1827 the Cherokee drafted a constitution and incorporated as the Cherokee Nation. But, because of gold deposits found in the Cherokee Nation, the state of Georgia outlawed the Cherokee government and confiscated tribal lands. This lead to the Indian Removal Act in 1830 and the "Trail of Tears" in 1838.
1862 through 1863. The American Civil War was at it's height. In the fall of 1862 it appeared that the Confederacy was on the verge of victory. The southern offensive had demoralized the north, but then the Battle of Antietam in September 1862 drove General Lee out of Maryland showing a victory for the North. Then Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation, which prevented France or England from joining forces with the Confederacy. And then the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in 1863, which focused the outcome of the War towards a Union victory.
1899 through 1900. US expansion is going on. The US purchased the Philippines in December 1898, and began occupation of Cuba and Hawaii. The American Anti-imperialist League is formed with Mark Twain being one of its founding members. In February 1899 the Filipinos revolt against American rule. And then, in September 1900 a hurricane hits Galveston, Texas, which causes more damage than any other hurricane in US history at the time. And one year later in 1901, President McKinley is assassinated bringing Teddy Roosevelt to power and big changes in our government.
1935 through 1937. America is in the middle of the Great Depression. Franklin Roosevelt, FDR, introduced the New Deal in 1933, and Hitler becomes Fuhrer in 1934. In 1936 FDR introduced the Second New Deal including WPA (government jobs for the unemployed), Social Security, and the National Labor Relations Act. In Germany the Gestapo is ruled above the law, and Hitler invades the Rhinelands. In November 1937, Hitler held his secret conference with plans for war. World War II began in Asia in 1937 and in Europe in 1939.
1971 through 1972. The US invaded Cambodia in 1970, and the Viet Nam War has escalated. Greenpeace is founded in Canada in 1971, and the largest demonstration against the war is held in Washington DC. The Pentagon Papers (secret government document outlining US involvement and strategies of the Viet Nam War) were leaked to the NY Times by Daniel Elisberg. And, in 1971 the "Whitehouse Plumbers" burglarize Elisberg's psychiatrist's office looking for damaging evidence against Elisberg. In 1972 the "Whitehouse Plumbers" were arrested attempting to break-in to the Democratic offices at Watergate. Thus leading to Nixon's resignation in 1973. Also in 1973 we experienced Wounded Knee and the Arab Oil Embargo, which may also be byproducts of the Saturn-Neptune opposition.
2006 - 2007. What is going to happen? Hmmm?
Excluding George Washington, all the presidents who were in office at the time of the Saturn-Neptune opposition were either publicly humiliated or died in office. In fact the story of John Quincy Adams is very similar to George W. Bush... son of a president... accused of corruption during his election. I believe that Saturn and Neptune will have a profound influence on our elections in 2008. But will things get better, or will they get worse? Washington and FDR seemed to endure and even benefit from the opposition. JQ Adams and Nixon were exposed for corruption, and Lincoln and McKinley were assassinated. After the opposition during Washington's administration, the nation moved further into the exploitation of the African slaves. After Adams the nation expanded against the Native Americans. After the opposition during Lincoln's presidency the nation entered a time of the north dominating the south. After the opposition in 1900, McKinley was assassinated, and the unexpected Theodore Roosevelt brought a new optimism and change to our country. After the opposition in 1937 World War II began, and after the opposition during Nixon's administration, the Viet Nam War ended. Will the war in Iraq end? Maybe.

Ever resourceful and self-confident, you know what’s best for you and think you know what’s best for others. Sex with a Scorpio is anything but subtle, it is full of energy, daring and can even involve some risk taking. You are looking for a fearless lover, one willing to create a romance that will unleash your passions.

Pisces - (February 22 – March 21) Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune , and its symbol is two fish bound together. Pisces is a water sign, emotional and compassionate. You have an air of mystery and love a good secret. You love affairs of the heart and could become involved in a love tryst or steamy affair. You can be shy or coy, and your sensitive side and air of vulnerability can and will often work to your advantage to attract the object of your desires. You love romance and fantasy and sometimes have a hard time separating the two. You are able to share your deepest feelings with the one you love and often connect on a soul level. It is said the eyes are the window to the soul and you often find yourself flirting with your eyes. Pisces men are often seen as gallant (opening doors, and offering a hand) and both sexes can be self-sacrificing often putting the needs of their lover ahead of their own. You tend to daydream and often have your head in the clouds. You would rather go with the flow than ruffle feathers. You love to serve your lover and shower him or her with delightful fantasies. You have a spiritual nature, and are very creative. When it comes to romance, you can be unpredictable and truly enjoy the game of love, although you will pursue the object of your affection with slow, careful intent.

How to Use Zodiac Sign to Resolve Conflicts

2006-12-16T02:03:00.000-08:00

The best way to understand the zodiac signs is to think of them as twelve separate energy fields in space that consist of either fire, earth, air, or water. This is easy to understand if you think of what happens when you pour water on fire. Obviously, you know that the fire goes out. In a sense, water has eliminated it. We all know that fire and water are not compatible.

It is helpful to know that all of us are made up of various combinations of fire, earth, air, and water energies. Our particular combination of these elements are revealed in our astrological birth chart. They reveal who we are as a human being.

For example, if you have a lot of fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) in your nature you would not get along with a person who was born with a lot of water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). You would feel that the water person is too emotional, sensitive, and incapable of facing reality.

On the other hand, the water person would view you as blunt, impulsive, arrogant, and insensitive to their feelings. People encounter these kinds of dramas every day of their lives, but are not conscious of what is behind the conflicts they have with other people.

To be more specific, if you have your Moon in Cancer and your co-worker has his Mars in Aries, he will always be seen by you as a real jerk because his impulsive reactions irritate you emotionally. If you knew that these are the signs that are at the source of your problems, you could find a way to work with them. You would be able to talk about these differences and work out a solution. You might even find it humorous!

It is helpful to know that there are three fire signs, three earth signs, three air signs, and three water signs. When planets are found in these signs, they activate the energies of the signs. This is the valuable information that a skilled astrologer can find for you. He can even tell you what your relationship would be like with any other person BEFORE you even get to know them.

If you practice looking at your relationship problems in this way, you will find answers that you never thought imaginable. All you need to do is explore these secret realms of consciousness and you will be well-rewarded with great insights into human nature.

How the Planets Reveal the Secret Dramas of Your Life

2006-12-15T02:02:00.002-08:00

At this very moment, the planets are silently moving through your inner world while astronomers observe them in the heavens, never suspecting that they are looking in the wrong place for the deeper answers to life.

For instance, do you know where Mars is right now? No, I don't mean in the sky. Shut down your telescope and look within. The inner sky where the planets are silently moving and setting the stage for your next event. That event could be taking a trip, writing a book, washing your car, cooking dinner, buying a house, or making love. Such events are seen by the astrologer who observes the movements of the planets that pass through your psyche.

I have often said that each one of us is a miniature solar system, but few people understand or even believe this.

I know. You don't believe it, either. But that's all right. I know you could never believe this if you didn't investigate these hidden truths on your own.

For those adventurous souls with less conventional minds, I say put your date, time, and place of birth in one of those online programs that offer you a free birth chart and print out this amazing wheel. This wheel with all of its strange symbols, will tell you what tendencies you were born with and when the future movement of planets will trigger these tendencies.

A Brief Look At The Puranas (Origin of planets) Enjoy Indian Astrology

2006-12-15T02:02:00.001-08:00

Astrology or Jyotish is an integral part of the Vedas. Though in the Vedas the emphasis is more on Astronomy, there was hardly any distinction between Astrology and Astronomy in the Vedic period. Both were studied to determine the auspicious timings for making offerings to propitiate the Gods. The Vedas, therefore, made detailed studies of the stars and the movement of planets across the sky. Eclipses had to be timed because they signified evil portents. The obliteration of the luminaries, however temporary, could not be good for the mere mortals.

The stories regarding the birth of planets are found in the Puranas, which are of a later vintage. There are 18 Puranas. They deal with the story of creation, the tussle between the Gods and demons, the various forms and reincarnations of Lord Vishnu and sometimes even the genealogy of kings on earth. The same story appears in several Puarnas and predictably, the versions differ from one another.

In the early stages, Puranas were also an oral tradition. While elaborate care was taken to preserve the integrity of the Vedas so that distortions might not creep into them through repeated retelling, no such precaution was thought necessary for the Puranas. The Vedas were sacrosanct. The Puranas were not quite as sacred.

Methods of memorizing the Vedas were very interesting. Let us assume that we have a sentence in the Vedas - "God is good". (Actually, Vedas do not dish out such simple sentences. We have cooked up an example to illustrate a point). One student would memorize it as "God is good". That is normal. We all go through a similar exercise the night before our exams.

But a second one would do it in a strange form:

"Doog si dog" - memorizing it backwards. There would be a third who would do something even more strange:

"Go od di is sg go oo od".

This gobbledygook can be easily unscrambled to find the original message. There were many more ways; all were simultaneously practiced to ensure that if corruption took place in one it would be rectified by comparing it with the others.

In one method two sentences would be mixed up in a manner not entirely unlike sending scrambled digital packets across the broad bandwidth.

But enough of that! Let us go back to the story of the planets as given in some of the Puranas. These were subsequently changed, modified, expanded until they became part of a rich folklore of India with all its sectarian bias and regional garnish.

So the stores we bring to you here originated in the Puranas but got extensively revised through successive retelling!

Sagittarius Sign North Node Your Soul’s Mission and Path to Fulfillment

2006-12-14T02:01:00.001-08:00

The nodes (south and north node) are two points in an astrological chart that possess priceless information about one's karmic past and soul-destined future.Calculated by using the birth data of the individual, the nodes symbolize the unique life path that one is on and can answer many questions about his own, as well as his partner's, inner struggles and desires -- answers that can transform not only his relationship but his life.

Since there are twelve signs of the zodiac, there are also twelve unique nodal positions -- each pair of nodes (north and south) representing two opposite signs of the zodiac. For instance, a Sagittarius sign north node is paired with an Gemini sign south node because they are opposites. And because they are opposites, they create a clear picture of the dualistic struggle that resides within the Sagittarius north node/Gemini south node individual.

Often, the individual is unaware of the war taking place inside, a situation that could go on for years. As time passes he is dumfounded by his inability to progress in life - professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. He doesn't understand why he keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again and continues to dwell on the past as he desperately dreams of the future.

All of us have our own set of visible (and invisible) struggles to work through -- obstacles that the Nodes of the Moon can help us isolate and resolve while simultaneously freeing us to move forward on our destined path.

We all know that knowledge is power...and that's why I offer a bit of it to you...to give you the strength and courage you need to not only live, but thrive.

This week I'd like to begin with a brief overview of the Sagittarius sign north node/Gemini sign south node position.

To start, let's take a look at some keywords. These words describe the polarity between these two opposing signs and can offer you a glimpse of the soul journey that the individual with this nodal position is on.

Just remember that the south node represents the comfortable but not necessarily healthy habits within your personality - patterns that have accumulated over lifetimes that now need to be acknowledged and released.

The north node, on the other hand, represents your soul's potential - the direction of the future...the behavioral habits that will lead you to greater happiness and the kind of life that you will find fulfilling.

Here are a few Gemini sign south node traits that should be put to rest, sort of speak, if the individual with this nodal position is to live an emotionally rich life:

Inconsistent, deceptive, nervous, tense, unreliable, distracted, moody, gossipy, easily bored, unfocused, manipulative, scattered, lost in the present, high-strung.

Here are a few Sagittarius sign north node traits that this individual might at first find foreign but eventually will need to embrace if he is to connect to his true soul potential and live the life he was meant to live:

Optimistic, straightforward, truth-seeking, ethical, goal-oriented, futuristic, philosophical, love for freedom, love for nature, love for travel (intellectual, spiritual, and/or physical), desire to teach.

The journey from a Gemini sign south node to a Sagittarius sign north node will not be easy. But then again, neither is anything else in life that’s worth doing.

Obstacles are simply strategically placed hurdles meant to remind us of our inner strength and hidden needs. Therefore, as long as the Sagittarius sign north node individual remembers that his soul is creating the kind of life he needs in order to evolve as a spiritual individual, he will make it through the transformation just fine.

The following are some of the hurdles that the Sagittarius north node individual must overcome in order to feel a sense of direction in his life;

• He must release his fear of commitment

• He must explore who he is at the core; what he believes in and what he is willing to defend

• He must stop participating in gossip and trying to pass others’ opinions as his own

• He must realize that constant duality in thought and action only leads to unsteadiness and confusion

• He must learn to make choices

• He must seek higher knowledge

• He must practice speaking his own truth

• He must let go of all that is superficial within himself and devote his life to searching out the real and natural

For only when the Sagittarius sign north individual masters the lessons mentioned above, will he be able to create the soul-connected existence he so desperately seeks.

The north node path is offering the Sagittarius sign soul an opportunity to gain wisdom, strength, and freedom. But it is still up to him to decide whether to accept the gift.

Having said all that, it might not be such a bad idea for the Sagittarius sign north node soul to surround himself with as many people and symbols that can support his journey. By encircling himself with people who understand him and symbols that exude the Sagittarius sign energy, he invites the support needed to follow his internal voice and path to fulfillment.

Now, if you’re reading this article and it's your mate that has the Sagittarius sign north node, and you do that for your mate, well...that's just about the greatest gift that you could ever give him/or her.

What is Attraction Astrology May Have a Surprising Answer

2006-12-14T02:01:00.000-08:00

Most people are convinced that attraction has to do with physical appearance. They tend to judge relationships with others based on this. To some extent there can be no doubt that physical appearance has a great deal to do with attraction. The sums paid to movie and tv stars, mostly because their appearance is pleasing to look at, proves this. Men who are taller often have better jobs than smaller fat men, for people tend to be attracted to what is pleasing to look at it, and our society pays for this in big ways.

Yet, if this is all there is to attraction, then what explains in far greater numbers, the millions of people whose lives find them in relationships with people who have none of the glamour of movie stars, and in fact may even have less than pleasing physical appearances. The fact is, that most relationships, are based on a kind of attraction that is deeper than what our physical senses can perceive.

Astrology has a much more significant answer to attraction that society as a whole would do well to consider. To understand this, think for a moment, of some unexplainable situations that have certainly occurred in your life. Have you ever found yourself attracted to someone and could not understand why? Maybe even your family and friends tried to dissuade you from pursuing a relationship with someone they might not have thought was suitable for you. Yet, you might have persisted anyway.

Not only that, but in most instances, individuals pursue anomalous relationships, regardless of pressures from families, peers, co-workers or even what they believe to be their own best judgment.

Sometimes these relationships work out, regardless of the rules of society or the social boundaries they break. Yet, the question of why these relationships exist in the first place, seems elusive to any good common sense that some of us are from time to time blessed with.

Astrology in its incredible fairness to all, never judges attractiveness by physical appearance. It recognizes the fact that some people have more pleasing features than others, and can often describe these features with different Ascendants, yet the question of why people become involved in deeply attracted relationships for no outward apparent reason happens because of a very simple astrological fact.

Every planet in your chart is in a certain zodiac sign at a certain degree. This is true for all people even though the signs and degrees are different. Attraction occurs when specific planets in another person's chart are affecting your planets.

Thus, if you are a female with Mars at a certain degree of Aries, you would find yourself attracted to any male whose Venus is at the same degree of Aries as your Mars. In the female, Mars symbolizes what she is looking for in a male, while in the male chart, Venus symbolizes what the individual idealizes in a female.

What becomes so fascinating about this, is that physical appearance, age, philosophical or religious values, income status, or a host of many other variables become secondary to the strength of the planetary magnetism that somehow brings individuals together.

Yet astrological attraction is not limited to Mars and Venus chart contacts. Astrology not only recognizes planetary attractions from all the planets, but even differentiates as to what kind of relationship these attractions are, based on the nature of the planets involved as well as the signs they are in.

As a result, if the female with Mars in Aries happened to meet someone with Saturn in Aries at the same or almost the same degree, the attraction would be more of a student-teacher relationship, where Mars the planet of youth learns from Saturn the planet of old age and wisdom.

So, the next time you see what appears to be the most unlikely couple walking down the street, especially if it is a tall young statuesque woman with a short fat bald man, just remember, what they feel is written in the stars, way beyond the standards of physical attraction.

What Does It Mean to Be Psychic?

2006-12-13T02:00:00.000-08:00

What does it mean to be psychic? I write this story today to tell you that becoming a psychic is never easy. It takes hard work and discipline. Some people have the normal instincts for becoming a psychic and others have to work really hard at it. It's sort of like a baseball player playing for major leagues. Although he knows how to throw the ball, a person with similar talent may not become a major league baseball player. That is because he has a natural talent to play baseball. The second thing to remember is that no one is perfect. Not even psychics. If you think that all of your psychic words should come to pass, you are wrongly mistaken. Only God is perfect.

Sometimes we may hear a psychic word wrong or God just wants to give your client a word that may not make sense to us at the time. However, God uses those words to make our clients realize that he is once and for all God and that he can change the hearts of the people. God is the one who changes man. We can ask God into our lives and he can be there for us. We need to sit back and watch as God gives us the words to give to our clients. Remember, only God is perfect. He can only give words of accurate truth in the whole. When you are giving someone a psychic reading, try to remember that you are an aid of confirmation. What you are saying to your client should be confirmation to what they already know.

Sometimes you will reveal a surprising detail about them and they will tell you what that word is. When this happens, remember that God is on your side and he will make that word come to pass. It's rare to pick up a name or an actual date. It does happen from time to time. The best way to ensure an accurate word is to look deeply into your third eye which is at the center of your forehead and tell the client what you see. Do not put your own two senses into anything or else you will be disappointed. You can only meet your approval if you tell the client what you see. Do not try and rationalize it. Be patient when it comes to giving accurate words of understanding. Only God can give you words that people will understand. Third, be sure to give yourself enough time to do an accurate reading. If you do not ensure yourself accurate time to do a word, you will feel rushed over the phone or the place that you do your reading.

The best way to read someone is to close your eyes and visualize what you have in front of your face. When you realize how much God has for you, then you will certainly see how much God can give to you at the same time. I know that it may be tough, but give your heart to God first, see it in your mind and then say that word with all of your heart. You will then know for sure that what you are seeing is real and not duplicated. Your only job during a psychic reading is to give your client an accurate understanding of what is happening to them in the present or what may happen to them in the future.

Methods and Techniques of Medical Astrology

2006-12-13T01:59:00.000-08:00

Medical astrology is the branch of astrology that deals with the possible and actual health and diseases of the client. Usually, people come to the astrologer in times of great life changes, such as

Should I change my job?

When will I come into my inheritance?

Should I marry him/her? etc

To the medical astrologer, however, people come in the progressed stages of the illness, often after some kind of surgery has already taken place, along with a rich history of dealing with doctors. The usual questions for the medical astrologer are:

Should I go for surgery?

Does it have to be a surgery?

When should the surgery take place?

Why don't we have children?

Do I have cancer?

Will my cancer come to pass this year? etc

If the events in the history of illness coincide with certain astrological transits and configurations, we can find the astrological reason for illness, give the prognosis for the course and duration of the illness, and decide upon a therapy needed and so on. The opposite situation often takes place as well: the client comes for the usual astrological session, but the astrologer sees in the horoscope a danger long before the illness has manifested and materialized.

A great deal of expectations is attached to the advice the medical astrologer gives. Will there be a surgery or not, to go for chemotherapy or not, for a radiology therapy or not...

"On Tuesday, I have a radiology therapy appointment, should I go?"

"The doctor recommended taking my bladder away to stop the cancer from spreading, should I do that or not?"

Medical astrology is the cruelest branch of astrology. If you cannot bear meeting with tough, terminal pathologies, if you do not want to take lethal responsibility for the consequences of you advice -- you better don't do it. If you are not a medical doctor by profession, you will have to prepare well and read literature, consult medical doctors, gather information from the Internet, take part in forums, groups, membership sites etc.

The problems of curing are drastically different to what astrologers usually do during the reading. In an ideal world, astrologers advise and clients change their behavior, in order to spend the surplus energy the planets and stars send them. Medical astrologer may be more concrete and suggest wearing certain crystals, colours, aromatherapy, flower remedies and so on. It is best that the professions of medical astrologer and medical doctor do not mix. Ideally, medical astrologer does not cure and the client is not the patient, unless the medical astrologer is medical doctor as well, or eventually, a qualified homeopath. Neither should medical astrologer be a healer: he or she should only give a highly qualified prognosis of malefic influences that have already manifested as a disease and will -- unless nothing is undertaken -- continue to manifest thus, probably with heavier consequences as the time progresses.

Medical astrologer reaches out for all astrological techniques and methods from which something can be deduced about the nature of illness. He or she must be, above all, a competent astrologer, must command a wide array of astrological techniques and use them for the benefit of the client and their health. Since he or she gives advice about healing, but cannot heal on his own, in an ideal world, he or she should be connected to doctors and healers, should know their natal charts and through synastry decide whom the patient should see next. However, for practical reasons, it is best that the client finds his or her own doctors and healers to go after visiting the astrologer, otherwise, in case something goes wrong (and with ill people it always will), the astrologer can be accused of having a deal with the health practitioner that he has sent the client to.

From the chart, it is possible to decide upon the kind of therapy, such as homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, vibropathy, massage, classical medicine, attending spas, aromatherapy, crystal healing, Su Jok, etc.

The Signs

Signs represent the twelve large systems in the body of man, starting with Aries which represents the head, all through the sign of Pisces, ruling the feet. The signs that contain the planets, either by birth or through progressed horoscopes, will stand out, or will most probably be the sources of illness. For each sign a special tissue salt exists; these are the building materials for human body, the substances through the combination of which tissues, organs, systems of organs, and finally the entire body are built. Using these salts on their own or by combining them in material or homeopathic doses, one's health can be much improved.

Quite similarly, for each sign a special type of food is best. Medical astrologer will be qualified to give advice about food, and this will also improve the client's health in numerous ways. Using the theory of doctrines, i.e. finding the similarities between the zodiac, body, and herbs, it is also possible to connect signs with herbs and prescribe them to help the patient.

Degrees of the Horoscope in Medical Astrology

Each sign has 30 degrees, and each of these 360 degrees is connected to one part of the body. The planet on that degree is a predisposition for an illness -- the degree tells us which part of the body is in question, while the planet will show what kind of disease it will be. In a similar manner, it is possible to connect the midpoints and the degrees.

The Planets, Asteroids, and the Uranian Planets in Medical Astrology

The planets are sources of energy in the horoscope, and each is unique. For instance, the energy of Mars is fire-like; he flames up the fires in the body (resulting in high temperature) and cleanses it thus. Neptune stands for bacteria that are known to the medicine, while Pluto is for the unknown bacteria, and so on. The asteroids, the large ones in particular, such as Ceres, Juno and others, behave in a similar way. In medical astrology, the Uranian planets can also be used. There are eight "Uranian" planets which have no astronomical data, but the influence of which can be felt quite strongly in the chart. Some of these planets have strong medical connotations, so using them can increase the credibility of medical astrology analysis up to 90% of success.

The Houses in Medical Astrology

Out of the twelve houses in the usual astrology, five are more significant that the others:

First house -- the physical body,

Sixth house -- diseases,

Eighth house -- support from others, sex, death, karma, terminal states, cancer,

Twelfth house -- isolation, hospitals and monasteries, psychic problems, auto-immunity.

However, every house has its own special meaning in medical astrology:

No. 1 -- face, consciousness, brain tumors, brain insults, etc

No. 2 -- blood, electrolytes, hormones, food intake, hypophysis, diabetes.

No. 3 -- the lungs, speech problems,

No. 4 -- producing food for others, mother, milk; genetics, inheritance,

No. 5 -- heart, infarction of myocardium,

No. 6 -- diseases, personal hygiene, meals, day to day habits,

No. 7 -- death through brain problems, balance of the body, spine,

No. 8 -- Expelling of the processed foods, hypophysis, adrenal cortex, kidneys,

No. 9 -- the upper part of brain, cerebral hemisphere, Jupiter rules over the left, Neptune rules over the right hemisphere;

No. 10 -- metabolism,

No. 11 -- circulation, hemorrhagia,

No. 12 -- autoimmune diseases, thymus, immunity in general, liver.

The ruler of the house is the main indicator of the events related to the house, while the planets in the house are not so important. For instance, to see what kinds of illnesses one can have, take a look at the sixth house and its ruler, its position, aspects and transits. Only after the ruler remained under pressure for a long time, we could be allowed to start predicting the existence of a disease.

Planetary Aspects

How will a planet express its energies primarily depends on its relations with other planets, which boils down to the angle that those two planets make with the centre of the circle. Each pair of planets brings its own kind of sickness, for instance, a combination of Sun and Saturn will slow down the metabolism, while the Sun and Mars make it easy for the person to burn his or her own energy -- such persons often go in for sports.

The angle of 150 degrees (inconjunction) is especially malefic. Whenever there is an exact inconjunction between two planets in the chart, the person will have to live through various troubles of medical nature. Malefic aspects from malefic planets to the Moon are the worst. Squares are extremely malefic, so Saturn squaring the Moon gives a predisposition towards cancer, although the same effect may be seen from malefic aspects from Neptune and/or Pluto to the Moon. Just as in other branches of astrology, malefic aspects produce action -- an illness of a kind. But, it always pays to see where the good aspects are, because they bring amelioration, often a complete cure -- sometimes through remedies, sometimes through persons that resemble the description of the aspect (for instance, a trine to Neptune -- healing through an apothecary etc.)

If there are no beneficial aspects to the rulers of the 6th, 8th and/or 12th houses, then we should find persons whose planets create harmonious aspects. If that person is the doctor or a healer, healing will be successful.

Midpoints in Medical Astrology

Each planet is on the middle distance of another two planets, as if in a triple conjunction. For every midpoint there is a special medical delineation: the midpoint of Jupiter and Saturn denotes liver, while MA/SA (the midpoint for Mars and Saturn) denotes spasms, in more involved cases even death. Midpoints make each chart as unique as possible and you cannot do medical astrology well if you are not using them. For even greater precision, include the Uranian planets and their midpoints, especially in progressed charts.

Medical Aphorisms

Medical aphorisms are configurations typical for specific diseases and states. For instance, Mars on 29 Scorpio near the Ascendent will give a predisposition towards bronchitis, as will any squared malefic in Gemini, as will Saturn on the Ascendent in a mutable sign... and there may be more such combinations, for any given illness. The medical astrologer must be very well acquainted with such configurations and should be able to recognize them in the chart. However, the clients won't hold it against you if the middle of the session you look up at the manual -- they won't care if it helps them get cured!

In these modern times, it is possible to have astrology software compute medical configurations in the natal chart. To be more precise, without such a piece of software, it would be very difficult to do medical astrology, because there are hundreds of such configurations.

Diagnosing an Illness Based on the Natal Chart

Every chart contains dozens of potentially problematic configurations. It does not mean that that person must be ill just because such configurations exist in the chart, neither will it mean that the person will have all those illnesses at once, neither will it mean that all possibilities for illnesses in the chart must become reality. Configuration is a predisposition for illness, and it will manifest itself only when at least three predispositions are active at the same time. For instance, a square between the Moon and Saturn is the most frequent natal predisposition for cancer. The second predisposition may then come every seven years, since it takes seven years for the progressed Moon to make another malefic aspect to the natal Saturn. The third factor may come into play through a solar chart, in which there may be, say, an in conjunction between the Moon and Saturn. Or the third factor may come through a slow transit of Saturn, perhaps through its stationary point squaring the natal Moon. If there are four such factors at one and the same period of time, the client will feel as if surrounded by evil and wherever they turn to, the situation looks hopeless to them.

Only when we see such a concentration of approximately identical transits, may we want to warn the client about cancer or some other such grave illness. Since we can compute the transits and solar charts in advance, we can exactly tell the client when his or her troubles will begin, as well as when will they end.

Sometimes, an identical predisposition will appear from different configurations. If there is a square of Uranus to the Ascendent, but that same Ascendent is also squared by Pluto, the combination for surgery will appear twice. Now it only takes a transit of Mars to empower one of those configurations, or for Mars to be on the Uranus/Pluto midpoint in the solar return chart and the surgery seems unavoidable.

Diagnosing an Illness Based on Transits, Progressions, Solar and Synastry Charts

In natal astrology, in 90% of sessions we will need nothing more than the natal chart and the transits -- in one-on-one sessions there simply isn't time to dive into all the charts that can be useful. In medical astrology, however, it is a routine to use many other types of charts. There must be three independent confirmations for illness to appear, regardless in which chart do we see it. Looking for clues in the chart in case of medical astrology often is a detective-like work, until you find the constellation which was active when the symptoms first started. Once you connect real-life events with their possible astrological causes, you can predict how the illness will unfold, and with confidence.

Long transits of malefic planets produce all kinds of health problems, while the progressive horoscope produces the best long-term view of the client's life. In medical astrology, we always use solar charts, because there we see strong accents, which may not endure for long, but which sometimes leave the sequel for the rest of the client's life.

It also matters whom do you live with. The persons the client lives with and exchanges his or her energy with them. Sometimes they heal just by being present, in other times they make the client only sicker. The country in which the client lives will also have its own horoscope and that can be taken into account too.

Auxiliary Methods in Medical Astrology

Arabian Parts are formed by adding two important points, from which another, the third point, is subtracted. There are about 500 Arabian Parts, and some of them are directly related to health. Pars Fortunae is the most well known Arabian Part, and it combines influences of the Sun, Moon and Ascendent.

Each particular house has its own set of Arabian Parts. For instance, the sixth house has the following two Arabian Parts, which are of interest in medical astrology:

Incurable diseases, bad fortune and vice (Asc + Mars - Saturn),

Curable diseases (Asc + Mars - Mercur),

The sixth house also contains the parts for servants, the prisoners of war, and the pars of the defeated, which have nothing to do with health.

The number of Arabian Parts per house varies: house No. 7 has 16 Arabian Parts, house No. 8 -- 5 Parts and so on.

Quite often, horary astrology will yield loads of info. Instead of natal charts and the charts that are derived from it, in horary astrology we erect the chart for the time of asking the question about the illness. Reading a horary chart is different to the reading of the natal and all other charts, so don't use this technique unless you know what you are doing. Nevertheless, it pays to learn horary astrology, because it often gives a direct glimpse into the real situation, the course of the illness, eventual surgeries and deaths etc.

The decumbiture chart is the chart for the beginning of an illness. We should make it only if we know for certain when the illness begun. Also has rules of its own.

Electional astrology tries to discover when an action should begin. In medical astrology, such charts could be studied to discover when the prescribed therapy should start, when is the time for doctor to visit the patient and so on.

The Role of Medical Astrology in Healing

Modern medicine knows a lot about the state of the patient in the moment of measurement, and knows also, in a statistical manner, whether the prognosis is good or bad. Nevertheless, it never deals with the future of the patient, and is almost always used when something bad has already happened. Medical astrology is the missing link between the recorded state of the patient, his or her current therapy and the future development of the illness. Since it is possible to make the astrological prognosis in advance, it becomes possible to do something in advance as well. Homeopathy and other energy healing systems are a natural continuation of medical astrology, because energy healing "spends" the unwanted but present energy that planets and stars send us via astral body. The biggest advantage of medical astrology is that it enables not only to predict which techniques and remedies can heal now, but when these techniques and remedies should be stopped, and some other healing modality be taken and applied instead.

The Book of Bhrigu See Your Past Present & Future

2006-12-12T01:59:00.000-08:00

The book of Bhrigu, or the Bhrigu Samhita is a real book, written several thousands of years ago, during an age the Hindus call the Vedic Period.

This is when the Vedas, of their Holy Books were being written. Maharshi Bhrigu (Maharshi meaning Great Rishi, or Saint) compiled the horoscopes of all the people who would consult the book, for all time. Hard to believe? Read on.

Maharshi Bhrigu is believed to be the first person to record horoscopes that predicted a person’s future.

However, as Hinduism and most Eastern thought embraces the principle of reincarnation, the Saint’s astrology covered a person’s past, present and future existences. It is said the Maharshi recorded some 500,000 horoscopes, and life histories with the help of Sri Lord Ganesha. The 500,000 horoscopes resulted in about 45,000,000 permutations, and this is what is in the book today.

The Claims of the Book of Bhrigu

• The horoscope of anyone destined to find the real Book of Bhrigu is already within it.

• There is only real original copy, and its actual location is held secret. There are several copies that have been made throughout history, but many are frauds and many just totally inaccurate.

The Book of Bhirgu has always been the property of the Bhramin caste, and as India was invaded, conquered, and dominated by various races, the Book went underground to keep it intact for future generations.

Also during the various invasions the Bhramin castes were disbursed throughout India and the sub-continent, and copies of the Book of Bhrigu went with them.

Always one special priest was trained in the Maharshi Bhrigu’s sciences, and learned how to (a) locate someone who had come to consult the book, and (b) how to interpret the readings. This required a life-long study, so always new priests are being prepared to carrying on after a resident priest dies or retires.

The Real Book of Bhrigu and Frauds

Sadly, India is not only home and repository of a great amount of the world’s wisdom, it is also the home of some of the most immoral people to as in all countries.

These unscrupulous people have made unreal copies of what appears to be a real Book of Bhrigu, but are only fakes. Usually peddled to foreigners, and diaspora Indians (who cannot read and write Sanskrit) great sums of money are often extorted in schemes to reveal but fantasies from the swindler’s mind.

A real book of Bhrigu will be held in a shrine, entrusted to a high Bhramin family, whose head is the resident priest…or else in an ashram. No real money will be asked from you to do a reading, although you may make a small contribution to the Priest’s family.

Your name (a Sanskrit transliteration) will be in the book. So if you are lucky enough to locate a real book of Bhrigu, you should take along a trusted person who can read and write Sanskrit (to validate the priest’s claims).

A fraud will ask you to return, ask for money in increasing amounts, and suggest solutions to your life that are too easy to believe (pay for your sins). Before you go, make sure that you have enough information that the place and person you visit are real.

As a guide, you should know that the original Book of Bhrigu will contain the horoscope of any individual you has been destined to consult it, and it will predict the past, present and future, revealing also clearly the consulting day, time and date of the individual along with the remedial measures needed to correct his or her life.

CAREER A reasonably good but demanding year. You will accept challenging workloads amidst high expectations about performance. With commitment and willingness to work hard; by showing patience and adapting to situations; by building up support and liaising with others, you can deliver. There will be delays, alteration in plans and obstacles in your path. However you can cross over all these blocks with your creativity and active interactions with others involved. Draw up a contingency plan : plan for the best but be prepared for the worst. You will be exposed to new skills and experiences that will come handy later on. Warning : Do not get success get into your head. Greediness or cockiness will only bring you crashing down. Just remember that your success is not only because of your work but also because of the unflinching support from others. Be amiable and diplomatic. If you have many employees, be on guard : there could be treachery brewing. Salaried employees will do better than business persons - with honourable promotions and below-average payment increments. Be on the lookout for back-stabbing because of internal office politicking. Display the statue or photo of Kuan Kung for protection and guidance. Good time if you are thinking of switching job or seeking an internal transfer. You will excel if you are involved in banking, research, politics or healing.

MONEY Rise in income will also be supplemented by sudden and unexpected benefits from other sources. Some of you will earn extra monies by doing freelancing work involving your personal skills. You will also receive handsome profits from your earlier investments. Stay away from stock markets - you hardly have any gambling luck. Plan your finances well. Make more investments after sounding them out with professional sources. Remember that haste makes waste. Control that buying itch of yours lest you indulge in those costly but useless purchases. Invest more on health insurance. Save some money separately for rainy days.

HEALTH Stress from workload and lack of peaceful sleep will be areas of concern. Some of you could also face problems related to the blood pressure, heart, eyes, allergies and digestive abnormalities. Take extra care while traveling. If you were born in 1954, you may have to undergo surgery. Erect a Black Tourmalene Crystal Tree near your bedside to destroy the negative energies surrounding you.

LOVE Good romantic luck for singles. An excellent year for courtship, engagement, marriage and child bearing. Married Horse can enjoy the conjugal bliss to the maximum. However, do not carry the work karma to home and self-induce frictions and disputes. Devote quality time for your spouse in spite of your busy schedule. Plan for weekend picnics and short pleasure journeys and do not allow misunderstandings to magnify. Celebrate your wedding anniversary in style.

STUDIES Only your strong efforts with the guidance of your parents/guides can bring about good academic results. There are chances that you will get distracted, become arrogant and turn away your favouring mentors, thus spoiling your own success. Stay away from the bad gangs or you could be influenced by them into committing wrong deeds. Some of you would win certificates for excellent performance in extracurricular activities.

CAREER 2007 is a year of considerable promise and signals an upturn in your fortunes. You can finally see the rays of hope at the end of the dark tunnel. Take advantage of every single opportunity and derive mileage from your experience and capabilities. Remember to take the advice and support of your friends and colleagues. Team work will yield much better results. Hard work and perseverance will bring you success. External pressure and competition will surface but timely help from your benefactors will help you win them. Make sure you control your temper or you might end up disrupting some good interpersonal relationships. Beware of female back-stabbers. Keep your cool and be modest and humble about your success. If you are onto trading, travels, marketing, exports and imports, hotels and marriage halls, you will do much better than others. If you are a salaried employee, recognition will come your way with promotion and salary increment. But be alert and do not get involved in battles for influence or take sides in internal politics. If you wish to venture out on your own or in partnership, now is the right time. Display the statue or real photo of the Great Mentor Kuan Kung in your North West to get the best out of 2007. Attending training classes or refresher courses will greatly contribute to your future prospects. Keep your diaries and documents locked up in a safe; encrypt your computer files and assign a safe password and beware of enemies listening into your conversations secretly - you are likely to be a victim of information theft this year and suffer from deteriorated fame and reputation because of that.

MONEY Financially, an encouraging year with increase in income supplemented by commissions. Your investments will pay up. Surplus money will accumulate. Put a ban on your luxurious spending sprees and plan your budget well. Impose fiscal discipline on your bank accounts. Now is the time to reduce your borrowings (if you have any) and save up for buying assets in the future. Place a three-legged toad (opposite to your main door, but as if it is coming inside your home) to create a conducive atmosphere for buying assets. If you were born in 1976, you may get a remarkable windfall luck. If you were born in 1964, you could be hit by lawsuits this year.

HEALTH Most of you will face many health problems including high stress levels, skin allergies, insomnia, food poisoning, migraines, digestive and respiratory disorders. Females should watch out for problems related to sexual organs. If you are a female and in post-natal recuperation, you have to increase the immunity powers of your body. Avoid sexual promiscuity. If you are carrying over abdominal and gastrointestinal problems from last year, it could worsen this year. Accidents might happen during travels or in sports. Hang two large sized natural Chinese Sacred Gourd Wou-Lous : one near your main entrance and the other in your bedroom, on your headboard side. Keep a Black Tourmalene Crystal Tree near your bedside. If you were born in 1928, you might become light headed, weak and not in full control of your bodily functions. If you are a female born in 1964, you could be affected by gynecological ailments.

LOVE Excellent love luck with high levels of sexual appetite. A good year for marriage and child-bearing. Singles will get engaged and then get married within a short span of time. If you are married, you may make use of the intense sexual energy in the air to restrengthen your relationship to your spouse and build up a more harmonious equation. However refrain from indulging in extramarital affairs or else you will face severe penalties in near future. Install the icon of a Rooster in the South West of your bedroom and carry a set of 3 Qui-Yong coins with you always to discipline yourself. If you were born in 1964, you could face a serious love triangle problem.

STUDIES A good year for all those who are studying. But you need a higher level of motivation. Set yourself a challenge. A challenge that will be realistic as well as enjoyable too. Then you will accomplish. This is a year for acting on ideas. You could learn a new knowledge skill or take up a new social interest, for personal satisfaction. Maybe you will join a local society or arrange a meeting group for fellow enthusiasts. This will open up a new vista of opportunities and contacts which you will cherish in the years to come. If you are a female born in 1988, you will be immersed in Peach Blossom luck : do not lose your head or chastity, but concentrate only on studies. Install a Pagoda Tower in the North East of your study room.

CAREER An inauspicious year of reversed fortunes. In 2007, your Celestial Animal Snake is conflicting the Year TaiSui (Grand Duke Jupiter). This war-like energy field will involve you in gossips and scandals, discredit your reputation and spoil your career. It will seem as though your hard work will go without results, progress halted and your talents disrespected. Projects at finishing stage might collapse. Maintain old and regular clients while entering and establishing new markets. You should create opportunities yourself and make the most of them by putting in considerable efforts and by becoming flexible in your approach. Your progress will be very modest but the knowledge and experience that you gain now will bear fruit in the coming years. By acting tactfully and managing your affairs discreetly, you can create strategically useful friendships which can get you through a difficult year. Most of you will be spending the year outside of your regular place but refrain from switching careers or jobs right now. Do not cut corners for short term gains or take up false opportunities of enticements - you might end up in a legal trap that could destroy you. Inaugurate the statue or photo of the Protector Kuan Kung in the North West to watch over you in these hard times. If you were born in 1989, you might loose valuables and money in a theft. Employed Snakes will fare much better than the Self-employed Snakes. You will do good this year if you have anything to do with trading, marketing, travels, transportation, imports and exports. Whether you are self-employed or salaried worker, you are in dire need of the blessings of the TaiSui this year. Display the genuine, energised photographs of "Feng Ji, the 2007 TaiSui" and the "TaiSui Protection Talisman for 2007" in the North West and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or purse, for minimising the severe negative impacts that you are likely to suffer this year. Do not attend burial ceremonies or cremation rituals this year.

MONEY Fluctuating cash flow will dishearten you. Do not indulge in frivolous spending but tighten your belt. At least one heavy spending is awaiting you, because of your conflict with the Year TaiSui : could even be the expense of shifting your home or office. Requirements might force you to look for loans. Be prudent when you disburse money. When drawing up new contracts, be wary of fine prints. There could be some mistakes or you might even be cheated. Stay away from speculative investments and gambling - you hardly have any windfall luck this year. Keep a set of "Four Heavenly Kings" coins to minimise money erosions.

HEALTH As you are in conflict with the Year TaiSui, you are prone to frustrations and blood injuries. Frustrations will lead to depressions and depressions will lead to carelessness and recklessness. Such extreme moods will lead to many accidents. Accidents will lead to injuries, sprains and fractures, especially in your legs, hips, face and teeth. Drive very carefully and always follow the rules of the road. Do not participate in any type of risky sports. Be on guard when you take the staircase. You can sincerely attempt to prevent the destined "bloodshed" by donating blood voluntarily. Some of you might get respiratory problems and digestive disorders. Avoid stimulants like alcohol and tobacco. Do yoga and meditate. By hanging a real and original Chinese Wou-Lou (near your bedside), you can drain out quite a lot of sick energy from the negative atmosphere surrounding you. If you were born in 1941, heart, eye and stomach problems may trouble you. If you are a female born in 1953, watch out for gynecological ailments.

LOVE Do not bring the pressures and stress at work into your family life. If you do, you will have to face severe consequences. Your unbalanced emotions will make mountains out of molehills and upset precious equations. You need the support of your family in this taxing year - you will get it too, if you do not spoil it yourself. Install the statue of the Three Generations Dragon Head Turtles in the East. Singles may not find a proper anchoring relationship that they are looking for.

STUDIES Apparent clash with the TaiSui will make you rebellious. You will fall prey to the wrong gang and mix with negative friends. As a result your studies will suffer greatly. Questions will be raised about your motivations. Your integrity will suffer. You will be restless and moody. Seek the help of your family and heed their advice. Display the "Protection Talisman for 2007" in the North West of your study room and always carry a small photo of Feng Ji, the TaiSui of 2007, in your pocket. If you were born in 2001, you should be under constant care and attention.

Do You Believe In Astrology

2006-12-10T01:55:00.000-08:00

Whenever people talk about astrology the question of "a belief" arises. It's as if the human mindset instinctively associates astrology with "a belief."

Whenever people ask me if I believe in astrology, I respond to the question with another question: "What is a belief?" and I give them my answer right away.

A belief is everything you have not touched, not seen, not heard, not smelled, everything you have not lived and not experienced, everything that has not become part of your own life and existence and that has not become part of your own reality.

It's everything beyond your imagination, coming from another dimension you have not experienced yet, you are not aware of (yet) but that, nevertheless, exists somewhere for the ones who have experienced, researched or lived it.

In the world of the elephant, goldfish don't exist, even if they do exist in our own (human) reality. They are just part of another reality that we, human beings are able to live and experience. But not the elephants.

It's so difficult for so many people to live in reality, to be aware of other dimensions. Instead of judging and questioning who's right or wrong, they would better try to know more about it, the pros and the cons, the way it works or does not work and when it works or does not.

THAT would bring awareness to another dimension and bring far more insight. It would raise human consciousness; something our world needs so deeply.

Some medical doctors "believe" in natural healing, others only "believe" in high-tec solutions and others only "believe" in drugs. It depends on their mindset, experience and own reality.

Some astrologers only believe in the "ancient" deterministic schools, some others rely on psychological feelings and free will and yet others are more into the influence of the Asteroids. It all depends on their mindset and experience.

Saying that astrology is a "belief" is judging astrology without having experienced or researched it. It's up to you to raise your consciousness and awareness by doing your own research -- with respect to all topics and events in life. And if you want to research astrology, be sure to research and judge "astrology" and not the astrologer!

Who knows, you may even find your future mate online. You have been known to give “good phone,” and enjoy long conversations that revolve around romance and sexual innuendos. Flirting is second nature to you and you are almost shameless when it comes to practicing your flirting style.

In fact, you like to be partners in most aspects of life and will find ways of including those you love and admire in your plans, whether it be at work, home or play. Although crowds of people don’t seem to bother you, you prefer spending time with your love interest alone rather than in a group setting. You may start out at a big gala affair, but will look for an appropriate time to get away so the two of you can spend time alone together. You are a thoughtful partner and lover and give your full attention to your mate. Giving your undivided attention is your way of flirting. You have a keen interest in others and can lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. You love courting and or being courted by the object of your affection. Hearts and flowers go a long way in the romance arena of your life. Librans do not like to be manipulated, fair play is an absolute must.

Aquarius - (January 21 – February 21) Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. An Air sign, Aquarius is very social, and is symbolized by the water bearer. An inventor at heart, you can be seen by others as a little “quirky,” often gravitating toward the future and progress of humankind. You are considered a visionary and open-minded looking for less conventional ways of being and doing than the other signs. You don’t generally break down under peer pressure; you prefer to be different from others. You are highly liked and surrounded by friends because you know how to be one. A humanitarian, you long for social reform and prefer those who share your thoughts on life over those who easily conform to societal pressures. You tend to be more attracted to the outrageous than one who looks and act like everyone else. You are sometimes thought of as a “rebel with a cause” and will be attracted to a partner who you shares your desire to change the world. You are a free spirit who needs his or her own space, but don’t mind sharing that space with the object of your affection, as long as you don’t get pushed into a corner. You enjoy sharing your vision of the future with the one you desire and consider it your way of flirting. Sometimes you appear aloof or unemotional, which can be a turn-off for some. Not to worry, the right person will find it attractive and be curious to know what lies beneath that detached exterior. It seems an odd way to "flirt", but it can be attractive to those who are curious and have a similar demeanor. It is the game of “intrigue” that can often turn someone on and make them want to know more. The Aquarius is a creative and imaginative in lover and will often seduce the object of their desire in unusual ways (and places).

Feng Shui Horoscopes

2006-12-09T02:33:00.000-08:00

A great tool to help you find out more about yourself.

Chinese feng shui horoscope is based on twelve animals which represent you depending on the year you were born. Feng shui horoscope is an ancient reading of people's personalities and the influences which nature forces have on them. According to this, each year is represented by an animal and its characteristics.

Each one of us has a feng shui horoscope animal representing us according to the year in which we were born. Our personalities and the way we interact with others will vary according to this, since the way different animals interact will vary according to their nature. Each animal representing us is based on characteristics of the real animal which is applied to the human beings.

The twelve Chinese feng shui horoscope animals are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, cock, dog and pig. Each one of these animals have a specific personality type, and you could find many of your own features reflected in the description of the animal which represents you, as well as you can find descriptions of the people who surround you through the animal representing them too.

Besides providing you with information regarding your inner being, feng shui horoscope tells you about with which other persons represented by their animals would you tend to have harmonic relationships and with which others not. Some animals interact harmonically and some tend to have problems in their relationships.

The feng shui horoscope animals can be grouped as opposites. Each animal has an opposite and they are: rat is opposite to horse, ox opposite to goat, tiger opposite to monkey, rabbit opposite to cock, dragon opposite to dog, and snake opposite to pig. This does not mean that animals which are opposite could never have an harmonic relationship, but that they might tend to it.

Feng shui horoscope can provide you with a very interesting resource of knowledge about human behavior and their relationships. It is based on traditional knowledge, which has anciently been consulted in the oriental world. Therefore, feng shui horoscope is a very important resource to have into account at the time to learn about ourselves and the way we get along with others.

2006-12-09T02:32:00.000-08:00

Chances are you might believe in astrology, but the odds are much, much better that you read your horoscope birth chart forecast in the newspaper at least occasionally. Although most people say they read their astrological horoscopes for fun, there is something that brings them back time after time. Could it be that there are just too many instances an astrological birth chart forecast has resonated with bits of truth?

Most of us are self-absorbed enough to want to know everything there is to know about ourselves -- who we are, why we are like we are and what makes us tick in this particular way. We love thinking and talking about ourselves. A personal birth chart horoscope is like your fingerprint; no one else has it.

As you probably know, a horoscope is a map of the heavens at the time you were born. A reading taken from this information is your personal astrological birth chart "book", a story about you and you alone. It contains the kind of compelling information that you will consult, read and re-read many times over the years. With each reading, something crops up that you hadn't noticed or analyzed seriously before. As time passes, even statements you dismissed out of hand in the past can begin to ring true. Think of your birth chart horoscope as the perfect map for your journey through life.

It is these kinds of things that make an astrological birth chart reading an ideal personal gift to give to anyone you care about. It is the kind of unique gift that introspective, thoughtful people will treasure for a lifetime. Whether you are Aries, Pisces or anything between, the material contained in a personal astrology reading never grows old. It guides you, starting from the very first time you read it.

If you are a person who finds it difficult to decide what gift to give people on your list, consider giving those people who are special to you an astrology birth chart reading. It is a gift that is valuable without being expensive. And you can be sure the person who receives it will not only use it but will appreciate it for years to come.

Your Astrological Weakness May Be Your Greatest Strength

Life has many paradoxes, where things are not always what they seem. From our earliest years, we are taught to respect and honor strength and achievement. We are taught how to model ourselves after those who surpass expectations and give us a life of feats to emulate. This can push us on a path of strenuous striving for most of our life.

The astrological chart shows the strengths and areas in life where an individual can do well. Many squares to a Planet, it's Sign and House often indicate this. Angular planets near the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Houses can also indicate strength. Planets in higher degrees, forming conjunctions, or in fixed signs can also be seen as signs of strength in a chart.

However, strength alone does not give an individual happiness, for if anything, its display tends to make others depend on it. As a result, those who show their strengths in any area of life, become vulnerable to others needing to depend on those strengths. They tend to attract parasites, leeches, and those who do not carry their share.

From the Tao Te Ching, we learn 'What is a good man? A teacher of a bad man."

The world has a way of leaning on those who strengthen it, until they actually weaken their own leaders. Think of any time you have given advice to a friend or done a favor for someone, or perhaps did their work for them. Somehow, without anybody meaning for this to happen, the other individual comes to depend on this behavior from you in the future. This can drain you of happiness, as it puts a very different definition on your relationship than you had originally intended.

Since the universe holds all answers to every question within it, there must be a way for us to find balance in our lives, so that our good-intentioned help to others never becomes an unendurable drain on our existence.

Since there is a tendency to show others our strengths, perhaps because we are too ashamed to show them our weaknesses, then it is these very weaknesses that can keep us from being consumed by external needs that are beyond our ability to deal with.

For those of us who have confronted our human qualities, we have learned that knowing when to stop exuding strength and pull back into ourselves turns out to be our only savior. As a result, look to the weak areas in your chart and pay heed to what they are saying, because as you do, you will find that a new respect for what you cannot do, takes precedence over your spilling out your entire being and then some to others who would only gladly feed on your strength.

Your South Node is a resting place, containing within it, all the familiar soul memories of past lives you have already lived. Knowing how to use this properly can help you to measure the balance between your strengths and weaknesses, so that you never jump out of your life to be more than what your weaknesses can handle.

Karmic Individuals Who Have Changed Your Life

Albert Einstein, the great mathematician known for his theory of relativity, once said, "God does not throw dice with the universe." What he meant by this, is that there is such an incredible order to things that if we but can get the slightest glimpse of it, we will be in awe of it all for our entire life.

The universe is not a game of chance. Things happen for a reason, and everything is somehow either a cause or effect of something else.

You have incarnated into this life with past life karma (unfinished causes) that you are in this incarnation working on. However, you cannot do this completely alone. Sometimes you need help from outside yourself. The funny thing is, the universe knows this, and will always be there for you to avail yourself of its resources.

Think back on your life, and in the most important places in your memory you will find the words and the mind pictures of individuals who said something so meaningful to you that to this day you vividly remember it, word for word and meaning as deeply as the universe who put this individual in your life to say it to you intended.

In some instances, it may have been someone you knew for some time, but more often than not, these gems of wisdom, may have been nothing more than a sentence or two, or perhaps a phrase from someone you did not know before then or since.

Could it be that these individuals, so few in number that you probably could count them on one hand, have reincarnated with exactly the information you needed, to be in your life at the moment you would be most receptive? What is even more intriguing is that these souls may never know how meaningful they have been to you.

Yet it is for certain, that these blessed individuals whose few choice words have become so influential in your being, have karmic soul ties to you. Remember them well, for they are your guides.

In fact, if you think about the North and South Nodes in your chart, by sign, house position and aspects as well as degrees, you may realize how these individuals have played an important part in putting you on your karmic soul path.
