Crystals play a similar role that casting stones do. Unlike movies that show fortune tellers looking into a window with their crystal ball, this is not what happens.

The art of divination often uses a crystal ball as the focal point the same way as tarot cards in tarot readings. Amethyst balls are a color that promote open-minded universal intelligience. Gazing into crystal balls is known as scrying to Wicca's.

To practice scrying relax completely, make your mind blank, and focus your attention on the crystal ball. By relaxing and staying focused on the question, you will be able to see an image or hear an answer. There are some psychics that use crystal balls who say they have actually seen images in them. A form of divinations which can be accomplished by using large stones.

Using Pendulums:

Pendulums can be an invaluable tool used for yes or no answers. A weight hung by a string or a chain is called a pendulum.

Generally, a psychic reader uses a pendulum over the center of a piece of cloth or paper divided into areas for yes and no to find answers. A question is asked and the pendulum begins to swing by itself to indicate an answer. Some psychics also use pendulums when doing psychic tarot readings.

A rendition of this divination has been used on pregnant women for many years. A needle is threaded and the psychic person will hold the thread over the abdomen of the pregnant woman and ask what the baby will be. The needle, swinging backward and forward, or side to side is an indication that the baby is male. If the needle swings in a circle of it's own volition, the baby will be a girl.

Tarot readings and Psychic readings can be done with several different methods each of which is unique and different.

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.

Tarot cards were invented in the fifteenth century in northern Italy. It was created for a new type of card game that is very similar to bridge. The deck was similar to the playing cards of the time with four suits and number cards from one to ten. There were also court cards that included a king, knight and page. The queen was not included in playing cards at that time. With the tarot, came the addition of the queen. There were also twenty-two other cards added to the deck that had pictures that had special meaning and symbols.

The tarot deck was used for a game called Triumphs and it was a big hit among the elites of the time period. During this time, cards were hand painted so the cost of the cards was quite high and only the very rich could afford to own them. As the cards were taken to different geographic areas they began to take on new pictures and symbols for the tarot cards.

It is theorized that the game was invented for the Duke of Milan. There is a book that was created to accompany the deck, but interestingly, it does not give the rules of the game. The only information that is contained in the book is the meanings behind the symbols and their ranking in the game. It also does not give any prophetic or divination meaning to the cards.

When the cards were first introduced, the divination meanings that we associate with the cards today were not ever mentioned. No one during this time attributed these cards to any other purpose than the playing of a game. It was only centuries later that the cards began to be seen in this light.

The cards changed in their look as they moved from country to country. Every region added their own touch to the designs on the tarot deck. In the time when the cards were created, playing cards, as well as the tarot deck, were hand painted. If the cards exist today, they are artistic masterpieces and very valuable relics from a time gone by.

Interestingly, the book that accompanied the deck does not contain any of the rules for the game. Its pages are filled with the meaning and representation of the pictures on the cards and the ranking of each card in the deck. This book is currently in Paris in the Bibliotheque Nationale.

The tarot has also evolved to include many different spreads of the cards. Each spread of the cards is more suited toward a specific type of reading. For example, if you are interested in knowing the state of your relationship, there is a spread that will work best for this type of question.

It is interesting to do some research on tarot cards and look at all of the evolutions that the cards have gone through in the centuries since they were invented. You will find that they are creatively artistic and wonderful to look at whether they are being used for divination purposes or not. Take a look at the history of the tarot and you will find yourself immersed in the many cultures that have left their mark on the decks of today.

Do you like to know how to guess someone's astrological element? They'll be amazed when it happens but it requires a lot of practice and a deep knowledge of astrology. But here's a simple way:

Here's the first step of a very simple approach that allows anyone to guess anybody's astrological element (with a little bit of practice of course).

Here's the good news: there are ONLY four astrological elements: Fire, Water, Air and Earth. And each zodiac sign belongs to one of the four elements. Let's have a look at each of them.

The Fire Signs are Passionate Doers (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Fire signs tend to be outgoing, inspirational and these people often are an inspiration to others. Fire element may become selfish, in-sensitive risk-takers. A lack of fire is indicated by a lack of initiative, inspiration and difficulty in becoming inspired.

Earth Signs are Persistent Achievers: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth signs are known to be practical, cautious and have a rather materialistic approach to life with the need to build solid, 'real' material success. They love long range planning and have the determination to succeed. A lack of earth sing can be seen by a lack of accomplishing 'real' world success.

The Air Signs equal Intellectual Speakers including Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs are know to be natural communicative, extroverted intellectual and enjoy being exposed to different knowledge and ideas. A lack of air is indicated by a lack of the capability to understand and convey an idea.

Water Signs are Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces: Intuitive Feelers

Many Water signs are quite emotional - but they don't show it necessarily. They are caring, compassionate and artistic. They tend to exaggerate feelings out of proportion and live in a fantasy world. A lack of water is indicated as a lack of the capability to understand the feeling side of life and to care for those around them.

IMPORTANT: Everyone has a little bit of all of these element within themselves. So there's not anyone who is just a earth or fire sign. But that doesn't matter. Because what you are looking for is: which is the DOMINANT element. And that's all that matters.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

To guess someone's astrological element you'll have to rate the existence of traits in a person between 1 and 10 points in the following four areas. Here's how you do it: Give 10 points when a trait is very dominant, give a 1 point when there's a lack of of this trait. Give 5 points when you are undecided.

Does the person have the traits of a "Passionate Doer"? Please rate between 1 and 10 on how inspirational, passionate and energetic this person is about things that interest that person.

Is the person a "Intellectual Talker"? Please rate between 1 and 10 how much communicative and extroverted this person is about new ideas and concepts.

Does the person have the traits of a "Intuitive Feeler"? Please rate between 1 and 10 how emotional, compassionate and introverted this person is about problems and issues.

How much of a "Persistent Worker" is the person? Please rate between 1 and 10 how practical, consistent and materialistic this person is and things that the person wants to achieve.

While answering these questions, try to think of situations where this person had to display these traits in the past. If you've just met the person, go ahead and ask them to tell you a story in which they tell you about their passion, ideas, feelings and achievements.

How to guess: The person's astrological element will be the HIGHEST RATING one.

However, if you're unsure about the results or just not yet clear - just go ahead, ask more questions and re-rate the person in all four areas. You'll be flabbergasted how many times this method will be successful. Have a fun time!

Astrology psychic readings are often done on the internet as a purpose for helping others. The Astrologer will often give their astrology chart reading services at a set price per hour and they will offer a first time free online psychic reading. A astrology reading is best conducted when your spirit is mostly free of distractions and other disturbances that are all around you. An astrology reading will teach you more about who you are as a person as you learn more about who you are and what you are called to do with your life. Most people consult with astrology experts as a way to learn more about their inner issues. Many astrology chart experts try to focus their psychic readings on career, business, career and love. Whatever your concern may be, an astrology expert will usually have some answers for you.

The psychic expert reader will offer you a psychic reading in over the telephone or on the sidewalk at most psychic fairs. Giving a person a psychic reading online through a computer is the newest found technology in the world. Hundreds of years ago, psychic experts were able to connect with dead people through a sance. They came from all walks of the spirit. Psychics would often ask an individual to connect with them intellectually in a reserved sit down setting and read them their psychic cards and astrology cards. Often a tarot card psychic reader would tap into an important specific thought such as: where a person was working or what spiritual person was around them that had crossed over.

Thousands of people that got a tarot card or astrology reading often did so because they wanted to be able to get a lot more of themselves in a psychic setting. Many tarot card readers would often help others to get in touch with their astrology and tarot gifts. Many tarot and astrology readers like the psychic reading and astrology chatting for people that are open to what they have to say. Many tarot card experts are very closed off to the astrology chart reading because they come into the tarot card reading session with some doubts. The excellent news about a psychic astrology chart reading is that it allows a person to feel permanently connected to something supernatural than what they know. You can discover almost everything about someone by just opening your eyes to whatever it may be that they are trying to focus in on in their inner spirit. You can experience a lot about a person through the hope of a person's higher self. You can also learn a lot about an individual when they become open to whatever it is that you are trying to show them.

Are you wondering if you should get a tarot or astrology reading? You should try looking for tarot and astrology websites that offer clients a tarot or astrology reading. A simple astrology chart reading is good so that you can test out the skills of a particular astrologer or tarot card reader. When you follow after your inner spiritual wisdom, then you can truly discover what it is that you are looking for. Learning to discover more about your spiritual energy is often the first step that a person must take in order to discover more about who you are as an individual and what you must try to accomplish in order to find yourself more fully.

Whether or not psychic ability is apparent in humans or in their surroundings is a highly debated topic. But we can't deny that out of all the "misses" predicted in psychic connections, some uncanny "hits" have been predicted in certain cases. Finding a free psychic reading, as a result, could mean the difference between knowing one's future and being ignorant to what may happen.

Free psychic readings have many benefits. An insight into the future might ward one away from dangers, stay safe, and be financially sound. Knowing what to expect can also lessen the burden of certain occurrences in life. Coming to terms with the death of a family member, for example, would theoretically be possible with psychic readings.

Psychics that do what they do well will likely be hard to find for free, although with the Internet almost anything is possible. Free online psychic readings are available to those who don't mind meeting their mentors in chat rooms and making use of webcams to initiate a conversation. In this method, technology has allowed anyone with an Internet connection to get a free psychic reading.

A reading can take the shape of a tarot card reading- in which a deck of cards will be used to aid in the act of peering into the past, present, or future of the client. Psychics will deal cards based on one's energy and attempt to see anything they may have cause to worry over or even exhibit joy for. In any case, tarot cards themselves are a tricky sport that few have the talent to work- regardless of the fact they are so readily available.

Horoscopes are another form of psychic ability in which professionals scout out answers to life's problems through astrology. Numerology is another popular form of free online psychic consulting service that can often be found for free. Both sources of psychic phenomena have actually had some scientific background. Numerology in particular is more accepted than other forms of psychic abilities, as it is founded behind science and has much logic behind it.

Those looking for free offers of psychic connections online should keep in mind that not everyone is trying to offer a free service, but rather take advantage of the nave nature of Internet users. Be wary of giving out details, calling phone numbers, and signing up for newsletters for the sake of obtaining a psychic connection. Often times private information is taken or hidden fees are applied that can come back to haunt the Internet user.

In Conclusion

Psychic Internet readings aren't always as good as the real thing, but technology is catching up with the industry and the process has become much easier. For more information on obtaining a free psychic reading, browse around the Internet or ask a few friends of their experiences in the matter.

Numerology and house numbers can help you find the vibrations your very own home is giving out. Numerology works on vibrations and this is why it works with numbers.

The sole form of communication was symbols and numbers until language came along and we all learned to grunt, and eventually speak.

As a Numerologist, I have learned that numbers had meanings, because of each one's unique vibration and frequency. As time went by and the scientists became the modern day Gods, the number meanings were lost and they were just used for mathematics.

The philosophy and psychology of numerology still allows us these insights and we can give meaning again to numbers, names and all that is numerical in our lives.

For years; as a numerologist, I used to just consider the number of a house for an address analysis but often found the resulting reading incorrect. It wasn't until I used the whole first line of an address that things fell into place and rang true.

That is a better solution, as when someone asks you for your address, you don't only give your number.

So instead of thinking about numerology house numbers we should really be considering numerology addresses, with name, number and street address as well.

If you're used to how numerology works then you'll know that all the letters of the alphabet are equivalent to a number.

For example; A=1, B=2 etc, all the way up to Z which equals 26.

When this numerology code is related to the first complete line of your address (including the addition of the actual number of your house), then you will come up with the number that resonates with your home.

Always remember to reduce the final number to a single digit though. I.E. 34 = 3 +4=7.

Unless, of course, the number is either 11 or 22 as these are master numbers in numerology and should never be reduced any further.

As for numerology house numbers, on their own, I think that they do still have some relevance but no where near as much as the whole first line of your address.

So what does your personal house number numerology mean?

Cheap conference calls - as the first term suggests - is the relatively cheaper version of conference call services. For all those who want to perform an audio or web conference at a short notice, and that within a limited budget, this is the right choice. It does the balancing act between reliable service and cost per minute. In the following paragraphs, we'll see the advantages and pricing of flat rate conference call services, discounted conference calling rates, and how the company manages to offer such a concession in a realistic domain.

The biggest advantage with cheap conference calls is that the clients do not have to make advanced reservations. Instead, he/she can avail the service by calling a toll-free number and other participants can join the conversation using a secret entry code, which the organizer of the conference provides to the participants.

People who are traveling can remain in touch with their near ones at home. Inmates of a family can all join in a conference call to greet somebody or to have a simple chat. Affordable net based conference call makes all these possible. Some people also use conference calls for social reasons.

Additional labor expenses are not involved, thereby saving both time and money. Conference calling companies understand that affordable messaging conference calling is essential for any growing business and strive to make the conference call run as smooth as possible.

You may wonder how the vendors are able to offer conference facilities at such cheaper rates. But the thing is that not all vendors are offering such services. Only those who have their own conference call bridges and phone infrastructure provides discounted conference calling rates and flat rate conference calls, and they could manage it as they do not have to pay for any over head, which is generally charged over the customer bill by most non-discount players.

Discounted conference calling rates are easy to find by just searching on the Internet. Many resources are available for companies looking to conference calling rates. Once a discounted conference calling service has been found, it is important to check all of the rate information to make sure that the conference calls being held qualify for the discount. The rate that is stated in most cases on a web site home page is usually already a discounted calling rate.

In most cases though, that rate is available only without the use of certain services. Other restrictions may apply. For example, some companies require that a reservation be made a certain period of time prior to the call. Failure to make the necessary reservation can mean either the conference is unable to be held, or only a limited number of people can attend.

Flat rate conference calling rates will usually range from sixty dollars to well over two hundred dollars per month. The one limit you will experience with most flat rate services is the number of users that can be on one call at a time. Of course the higher price the more features and users you can allow. Flat rate works well for medium size companies.

The flat rate service provider difference is the cost effectiveness and time variable. With most conference call services, you will be charged a set up fee in addition to the fees incurred by the conference itself. The determination of the cost of the conference is based on how many participants are included in the conference as well as how long the conference lasts. For this you get a person to proctor your call and be there any time you need help with the call, the possibility of a certain amount of people calling in, a certain time period in which the phone call will take place, and the use of the company's lines to connect the call. All of this is available to you with a flat rate service provider at a per minute fee and often with no set up fee.

If you are conducting a conference call with people who are in other parts of the country you may want to consider a toll free rate. This makes sense if the people you are conferencing with are not directly employed by you and may be reluctant to join in on a call that is costing them money. You will usually pay a small extra fee of a couple cents (per minute) to allow people to call in on a toll free number.

When you are in business, you realize that keeping the lines of communication open are critical. When you conduct your business worldwide, it is even more important. Your business relies on sales people, clients, and colleagues, and if that are scattered all over the world, holding weekly meetings can be difficult.

Good clothing should also be worn to give the participant the feeling of working, and not just relaxing.

Just like phone companies, there are different rates available and different options to choose from, but the fact remains that there is a plan made for you and your company. International conference calling has opened up a whole new world for marketing and selling products.

Internet conference calling is a service where a company acquires a "conference room" by telephone. They then dial into the conference room using a telephone number and a special pin number. The company is considered the "host". Those who are involved in the conference call are also given a telephone number and a special pin number. All numbers are pre-assigned and can be used again. A special recording notifies the host when all parties are present on the phone line. There is also an option to record the conference for those who require a transcript.

Moon Signs

Moon signs in astrology can explain the differences between two people born under the same sign. When you look up your moon sign, you will discover a more in-depth understanding of astrology and its role in your life. When you read your daily horoscope, it is based on your sun sign; when you also look up your moon sign and incorporate that into your reading, you are likely to have an ?aha moment?.

The easiest explanations of the sun and moon signs is that while the sun sign represents your outer self, the you that others see, the moon sign represents your inner self, the part of you that is instinctual, the qualities that come out in a crises or in privacy. We can say that the moon sign represents your unconscious while the sun sign represents your conscious. Both your conscious and unconscious self interact in your daily activities and choices. In this same way, the influence of your sun and your moon signs compliment their energies in your life. The moon sign does not override the sun sign, rather, it modifies it.

When looking to astrology for personal insight then, it is important to look up your moon sign. Astrologers agree that the moon sign is too significant to ignore if you want to read a meaningful horoscope. You can easily look up your moon sign on just about any web site on astrology.

Your moon sign is determined by the year of your birth, not just month. This is because the moon changes every 2 -3 days on a 28 day cycle and this varies from year to year. www.ofesite.com is a simple, yet thorough site that allows you to choose your date of birth from the year in which you were born. Then you are directed to a general description of the moon sign that coincides with your sun sign.

Following is a list of key words associated with the moon in each sign of the zodiac. Aries: Desire Taurus: Determination Gemini: Duality Cancer: Solitude Leo: Pride Virgo: Criticism Libra: Decision Scorpio: Ulterior Motivation Sagittarius: Enthusiasm Capricorn: Management Aquarius: Disinterest Pisces: Anxiety

These key words demonstrate the quality of the characteristics associated with the sign; a more detailed description is required for an accurate reading and understanding. The essence of these key words can be tipped toward positive energies or negative energies, all depending on the choices a person makes in life. For example, the key word for Aries is desire. Desire is a quality that can be utilized to drive a person toward goodwill, or selfish obsessions. Though the influence of heavenly forces pulls us into particular qualities, it does not determine which side of that quality we will ultimately choose. Therefore, consider the messages of your moon sign with careful thought and recognize how you can best use the qualities you have been given in life.

Astrology has been practiced for thousands of years, and it appears to many people that astrology is a manifestation of the human mind's first attempts to explain events in the world by association rather than causal relationships. In other words, non-technological cultures often explain events by the action of gods or coincidental events and omens. The same myth-making part of the brain that created Greek, Norse, Hindu, Chinese, native American, African, or any other cultures myths, seems to have conjured up the myths of astrology.

Astrology is a SYMBOLIC language which has proven to be a very useful tool for gaining new insights into the human psyche and communicating ideas to others in a common language. Just as you can talk Mathematics to anyone in any foreign language and understand the same mathematical concepts, you can talk Astrology to anyone in any language and the astrological concepts will be understood and generally agreed upon.

The essential teaching of astrology, reaching back to the ancient worship of the stars, was that of spiritual communion between the human and the heavenly. The modern fascination with astrology — even in its crudest forms — stems from a growing nostalgia for that older, more unified sense of nature in which the sun, moon and stars were experienced as a vast network of living consciousness. For a growing number of people, the rich imagery of these old traditions has become a more inspiration way of talking about emotions, values, motivations and goals than conventional psychiatry. The astrological universe is, after all, the universe of Greco-Roman myth, of Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Blake. It has poetry and philosophy built into it.

Even so, astrology is believed by millions of people and it has survived for thousands of years. The ancient Chaldeans and Assyrians engaged in astrological divination some 3,000 years ago. The spread of astrological practice was checked by the rise of Christianity, which emphasized divine intervention and free will. During the Renaissance, astrology regained popularity, in part due to rekindled interest in science and astronomy. Christian theologians, however, warred against astrology, and in 1585 Pope Sixtus V condemned it. At the same time, the work of Kepler and others undermined astrology’s tenets. Its popularity and longevity are, of course, irrelevant to the truth of astrology in any of its forms.

The Truth About Cat Food - An informative story of the pet food industry and what to look for when choosing a pet food.

An astrological birth chart (or natal chart) is a map of the sky, showing where all the planets of our solar system were located at the exact moment of your birth. The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all play a significant role as messengers of the universe and in your personal destiny.

Therefore, it is important to know the exact time—the precise hour and minute—of your birth if you are to get an accurate calculation. You will find the four most important points on the astrology birth chart are the The Sun, The Moon, The Ascendant and the planet ruling the ascendant. This involves the 12 zodiac signs and their 10 modern ruling planets.

Chances are if you decide to get your astrology birth chart calculated on your own you will receive a lot of strange squiggles, lines and symbols to interpret. Interpreting those markings is a complicated practice and takes many years of study. This is why people interested in astrology search for professionals who can read and explain these complexities.

Before the advent of the Internet, astrological chart readings involved a cost to calculate and more to interpret. Today, there are now many free online tools that can assist you not only with calculating your astrology birth chart but also in providing you a clear explanation of the data.

It is important to note, however, that free services sometimes come “cheap.” That means that some online tools and services make errors in calculating astrology birth chart data, from very minor errors which could distort some facts, to major errors that could compromise the entire reading.

Likewise, astrology searchers can make mistakes in entering data and thus throw off the entire reading by something as small as entering in an incorrect time zone. Many software programs have taken care of this problem by automatically choosing the correct time, location as well as other relevant information. Many software programs and online services make it a point to present a user-friendly product to the customer, thereby simplifying the entire process from the collection of information to the final interpretation of the symbols. Calculating an accurate astrology birth chart is largely dependent upon a user entering in the precise information needed. Of course, there is no software or online service capable of fixing a typist’s mistakes.

But if the information provided is accurate, then calculating and interpreting astrology birth charts has never been easier.

It's not surprising we have so many expectations around clairvoyant psychic reading considering all the advertising in the newspapers telling us to seek out an accurate psychic to give his answers to our problems. However there is no doubt that some times we could all benefit from seeing a good psychic. Especially when we are fearful, confused and lost.

A list on what a genuine psychic reader can and can't do:

1) A psychic cant pick the winning lottery numbers, if they could psychics will be the only ones winning the lottery.

2) A proper psychic will not promise to get your lover back by casting a spell, if they say they can,their only after your money. We all have free will so no amount of talisman or spells will make person come back to you if they don't want to.

3) When an individual is afraid to move forward it blocks the healing process and the prayers sent to them. These people have to decide to let go of the past in order to move into the future.

The origination of the Chinese calendar can be traced as far back as 14th centure B.C. The Chinese calendar is based on astronomical scrutinies of the phases of the moon and longitude of the sun. Legend has it that Emporor Huang Di invited the calendar in 2637 B.C.

Uncharacteristic of other calendars, the Chinese calendar doesn't count years in an without end sequence. Instead, they have names for years that are repeated every 60 years. Historically, years used to be counted on the accession of an emperor, but this was eliminated after the 1911 revolution. Within each of these 60 year cycles, each year is assigned a name which consists of two components, a Celestial Stemm, which there is no English match for, and a Terrestrial Brach, which is the names of disparate animals, also called the Zodiac.

The two components are used sequentially, thus the 1st year of a 60 year cycle would become Jai Zi, the 2nd Yi Chou, the 3rd Bing Yin, etc. Each of the two components is used sequentially. Thus, the 1st year of the 60-year cycle becomes jia-zi, the 2nd year is yi-chou, the 3rd year is bing-yin, etc. Each component alternates with the other, so when we reach the end of a component, we start again from the origination; the 10th year becomes Gui You, 11th Jia Xu - this restarts the celestial stem, 12th year Yi Hai, and the 13th year - which restarts the terrestrial branch, is Bing Zi. Finally, once all components have been used, the 60th year becomes Gui Hai.

No doubt that millions of persons begin their journey rushing through the newspapers to see the daily horoscope. We want the horoscope to tell us positive things will happen in the next 24 hours, like how will somebody look at us nicely, how fast we will be rich, or our love compatibility. In contrast, we are less interested to come up with a horror-scope like ‘today is not your day for love, business deals are not in the stars for you today.’

But first of all, which element of the horoscope are You? Hmm… don’t really know what the horoscope is? Well, the horoscope is an astrological chart for a specific person or group that correlates each zodiac sign as they are crossed by the Sun, Moon and planets and the position of planets in astrology. Now, the elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water are based on ancient Greek philosophy; they are the building blocks of life: the solid earth upon which we stand, the running water we use as a resource, the air we breathe and the fire which keeps us warm and aids in the creation of additional resources. The horoscope elements reflect a quality of human nature and correspond also with the Tarot: Fire = Wands; Earth = Coins; Air = Swords; Water = Cups.

Here are the list of the Sun Signs elements, but if you still don’t know, ask mom for your birthday and keep reading this:

1. Earth Signs

Well-grounded, and realistic, your earth sign makes sure you stay in the real world. When it comes to friendship, no-one is more rock steady than you.

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.

In the words of Sir Thomas Browne, “There is surely a piece of divinity in us, something that was before the elements, and owes no homage to unto the sun.” It is this ‘Inner Divinity’ that fuels a Power Yantra. As when this is focused on a Power Yantra, it is amplified and returned back to us, thereby causing the profound effects that are observed.

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.

Have you ever wondered what meanings may lurk beneath a number, perhaps one that keeps reappearing in your life? Since time immemorial humankind has wondered about the nature of number and how it relates to life. Numerologists believe that there are nine unique archetypes corresponding to nine cycles of development – the numbers 1 through 9. These numbers are also called Core Numbers or, Digital Root Numbers. Since Compound Numbers are merely combinations of these 9 Core Numbers, understanding the meaning of a number is predicated upon a thorough examination of these Roots. We shall now examine the evolution of these Root Numbers.

We begin with the Zero. This is the un-manifest where everything exists in potential. The Zero neither contains nor is contained by any number. It exists outside of any cycle. When the Zero is added to any number it symbolizes a perfection of that number's meaning. Although 1 is the root of 10, 10 is not strictly synounymous with 1. This is because the addition of the Zero signifies a perfecting of the 1 influence, in effect moving out of the cycle of 1 through 9 and into a higher order - 10 through 19. When Zero is added to a number it tends to bring a universal responsibility to its root number. It is out of this formless perfection that some-thing appears.

Moving out of the formless realm of the Zero is some One thing which is whole, unified, and independent of the Zero. Our symbol for The Number One, 1, is a pillar. A phallic shape. The one is a masculine energy that strikes out on its own and pioneers what is new, original, and seething with energy. This One is the irreducible fact of consciousness, the eternal I AM.

Between the Zero and the One all other numbers have their being. As soon as the One appears it is placed in relation to the un-manifest Zero. For the One to be One at all it must be independent of something hence, the arising of The Number Two. The Two brings about a relationship, it holds within it the strength of the One but with a humbleness reflected in its character. The symbol itself, 2, reveals a man at prayer bowing to some greater power (1).

Once we recognize the arising of self and our relationship to something 'higher' (be it g-d, nature, principle or idea) we feel the need to express this understanding. The Number Three brings us into the social sphere. Out of the un-manifest Zero, 0, an independent form arises, 1, which brings us into an essential relation, 2, which we need to in some way express, 3. The character of the Three, 3, reflects this openness in its form. It is open at its top, receiving the higher influences, and open at its bottom, expressing those influences to others.

If what we express is to be of lasting value we must work to create a solid foundation - the Four. Many projects falter before reaching this point, making it to Three but never bridging the gap between expressing a higher ideal, 3, and embodying a higher ideal, 4. In order to maintain its balance the 4 must close off or limit the influence it is working with. The Number Four takes the ideas expressed by the Three and adds a self-imposed limitation, creating a stabile and enduring foundation.

After the discipline of the Four we encounter the change and activity of The Number Five, in effect testing the solidity of our foundation. The Five, 5, turns itself around and introduces freedom and adventure. It is open in both the front and the back. It is a point where decisions must be made, and true to its form, those decisions could radically alter the outcome.

The freedom introduced to the Four through the Five brings about a new balance symbolized in The Number Six. It simultaneously broadens the limits of the Four and places the necessary responsibility upon the five. The Six, 6, is pregnant with love. It is the number of family and social responsibility. The social responsibilities of the Six create a need to understand and gain insight, a need to find some way of placing experiences into a meaningful whole.

The Number Seven questions and seeks answers to the grand riddle of life. It is a number of magical, mystical maturity. Its character, 7, may be likened to an old man bent over with age or perhaps, carrying a staff or lantern that casts its light into the darkness surrounding it. It is the number of introspection, planning, and inner searching. Through the control, insight and planning that emerges with the Seven we realize that we reap what we sow.

The Number Eight becomes a carrier of dynamic power and the success of the seeds planted all the way back with the One. Its character, 8, reveals a perfect balance between the world of ideas and the world of action. It is closed off indicating the power that will bring ideas into fruition.

After the rewards bestowed by the Eight we realize we are reaching the end, The Number Nine. As we confront this ending the focus shifts from the material to the spiritual. Selfless service and universal ideas become paramount. The character of the Nine, 9, is very much like the Six, 6. Whereas the Six sends its love to the material world of family and friends, the Nine closes the cycle by returning its love and compassion to higher ideals.

And again we are faced with the Zero. We may start a new cycle, beginning once again with One. It is possible we may continue our endeavor and raise the One to the relative perfection of the Ten, learning lessons of a higher order. In either case, we find everything between nothing (0) and something (1).

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.
