The Fascination Of The Zodiac Pendant!

by Dane Masters

People are fascinated by zodiac signs. since ancient times, this symbolic wisdom has been handed down in the form of art or jewelry, as signs on landmarks and walls. The sign bearer comes to know about his/her personality traits, what are good signs and what are bad, what the future holds, etc. Any item can be used by the bearer of the sign to be kept nearby–crafted on a pillow with needlepoint or a poster sketch or etched into a ring or a car air freshener with a painted zodiac sign on it. It is not necessary that a necklace with a pendant carrying the zodiac pendant be the only way to carry the sign on person.

When I was younger and still not fully appreciative of my mother's thoughtfulness, I received from her a cigarette lighter (after she accepted that I smoked). On the lighter was the sexual position for Leos. I had looked closely at the lovely gift, and found that the image in silhouette was one which featured a woman sitting astride a man, both man and woman with their legs out in the air in a gleeful pose. I am sure that if a zodiac pendant were in the same shop, my mother would have snatched that up, but seeing at a glance the "Leo" engraved on the hatch, she investigated no further and brought the item home, not realizing she was condoning, maybe, more than her teenaged daughter's smoking habits.

There is beautiful zodiac jewelry available online. There are zodiac pendants that are easily available and at reasonable prices, on eBay and other sites. I did buy one such piece for a hundred dollars. It consisted of a silver chain that was 16 to 18 inches long, and had a one-inch pendant attached. The pendant depicted the zodiac sign of Leo. The carving was very creative. The lion's head had a flowing mane which was encrusted with some cubic zirconia. Being made of silver, the one metal that I loved, I went ahead and bought it.

Another kind of pendant still features the sign of the zodiac but is the sign itself, the symbol, rather than the animal. This necklace is even more subtle, as it is-in my case, as a Leo-just an upside-down "u" with a curlicue at each leg of the symbol. Still other pieces of jewelry featuring the astrological signs are equally lovely.

If you manage to bid before the bidding period ends on eBay, you will get things at bargain prices, ranging from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. Whatever the price may be, they are affordable. There are jewelry pieces with different inscriptions or information, varied sizes and shapes. Sometimes, classic sexual poses of the 1970s are depicted on these pieces of zodiac jewelry. If you do not like the classics, stick to your own icons and elements. Coming to the jewelry itself, they are even available as 3-D with inlaid turquoise. There are tiny plaques with the names of the signs on them. Some plaques are least bothered about the signs; they give more attention to the stuff they are made of such as leather or gold or copper or silver.

Zodiac Love Match - What Your Signs Tell

Zodiac Love Match - Can the Stars be Right?

As a somewhat older gentleman (but still fairly good looking and somewhat romantic?) I have always enjoyed good relationships with the younger folk – Oh! The times I have been called upon over recent years to inspect and give an opinion on some poor new prospective boyfriend.

Of course, it is somewhat flattering to be consulted for such advice by pretty young females. However, my opinions and comment are based more upon my experienced knowledge of the devious thinking of younger males (I once was one) rather than any psychic ability.

I have always held a very open mind to most matters and my sideline interest in psychic and astrology subjects has been generated more as result of relationships with members of the fairer sex who dally in such areas.

More recently, with time on my hands due to health reasons I tended to read more on the subject and, in particular, that of the compatibility of people under their different zodiac signs. So, out of simple curiosity I conducted a simple experiment.

I prepared two lists on which I set down the names of numerous males and females that I had known over the years - friends, lover's, business etc.

I then noted alongside each name my relationship with that person as Excellent-Excellent Romantic-Good or Average.
After this, I noted down where possible, each person’s birth date and Zodiac sign. I made many phone calls and researched many old dairies to complete this particular information.

An analysis of the lists threw up that, throughout my life, my most excellent relationships had been with Arian's, Leo's, Aquarian's, Geminis, Taurean's and Sagittarian's. Of these, my most Romantic 'Excellent relationships' had centred upon Leo's, Gemini's & Arian's plus, one very special sensual Scorpio.

Zodiac research indicated that the female Sagittarian offered the best compatibility choice for my sign of Aries; there were no Sagittarian female romances on my list of females.

There was however, one female at the beginning of my list. She dated way back to my lecherous youth and due to the haze of time I could not recall or remember her birthday.

As I sat one evening and reminisced back some 40 years to that time, I had to conclude, with a somewhat lecherous smile on my face, that this lady had to be the best and most exciting romantic relationship in my life to date. This was a young male older women relationship and a bit of a social no-no at that time. Might turn it into an Ebook one day entitled – 'Lady Sagittarian's Lover' or something similar.

My curiosity gained the better of me and I set to work to trace her and in time managed to locate her surviving son. From him I gained her birthday to discover she had indeed been a Sagittarian.

Can the stars be right? I don’t really know. I can say however that in my case, without doubt, that lovely Sagittarian lady of so long ago was indeed the most exciting romantic activity of my life to date.

Who knows, there may yet still be another fantastic Sagittarian girl out there for this optimistic older Arian? Although one of a little lesser vitality than that exciting Sagittarian princess of so long ago.
