For centuries, the Tong Shu (Chinese Almanac) has been used as the
definitive guide for selecting good dates for important activities.
Often, no important activity would be undertaken without first
glancing at the Tong Shu to determine an auspicious day for it, or
at the very least, to ensure that it was not being done on a bad
day. Date selection ensures the success and effectiveness of a
particular activity or endeavour. The 2013 Tong Shu Calendar is
adapted from Joey Yap's Annual Tong Shu Diary. The highlights of
this easy-to-use calendar: Daily Guide to Suitable and Unsuitable
Activities for 2013; Guide to Feng Shui Afflictions and Influences
for 2013; Monthly Astrology Guide for all 12 Animal Signs; Monthly
Flying Stars Feng Shui Guide; Daily Flying Stars Feng Shui;
All-in-One Chinese Solar, Lunar and Western Gregorian Calendar for
2013.
Behind your familiar astrological chart lurks another chart
entirely, one whose existence you may never have suspected. It
carries your treasures and your wounds. Where the astrologer's
predictions and the realities of your life might not in all honesty
have lined up, this chart-behind-the-chart will help you see why.
This second, hidden chart tells the tale of who you were in a prior
lifetime. It speaks of what wounded you then and what work you left
undone. It warns of old ghosts that haunt you and the symptoms you
experience when you let them grab the steering wheel of your life.
This chart explains the reasons you have the chart you have today
and it clarifies how you can get on with your evolutionary journey.

This is the new and expanded version of Day-Signs, originally
published in 1991. In this edition there are some content and
organizational changes in the introductory chapters, the listings
of people born under each of the day-signs has been expanded, and
the day-sign look-up tables now go to 2029. The original
delineations of the 20 day-signs remain at the heart of the book,
and these have been updated to include the author's latest
insights. They are the first ever to be described in psychological
terms, and the only ones produced by the analysis of over 400
examples. For those interested in astrology, it may come as a
surprise to learn that the Maya and Aztecs of ancient Mexico and
Central America had developed a comprehensive system of signs and
cycles, very little of which has survived in the indigenous
population to the present day. Tantalizing pieces of this
astrological system do exist but there are many parts missing. One
thing is known, however, and that is the central role of the 20
named days called day-signs. It is the reconstruction and
reinterpretation of these symbolic images that is the subject of
this book. The 20 day-signs are like a zodiac - a cycle of
development that moves through various stages from origin to
completion. Each of the day-signs has distinct qualities and as the
20 signs cycle through the calendar dates, they move with a
secondary cycle of 13 numbers that deepen meanings. Finally, after
13 cycles of the 20 day-signs and 20 cycles of the 13 numbers, the
larger cycle, called the Tzolkin by the Maya and Tonalpouhalli by
the Aztecs, begins again. This 260-day cycle is at the core of the
ancient astrology of the Americas and an understanding of it is a
prerequisite to comprehending the other components of the system.
Here, in this book, is a modern interpretation of each of the
signs, translated from an ancient mindset into the shared reality
of the present. Even though the rediscovery of ancient native
American astrology is far from complete, readers will be fascinated
that significant variations in personality, discovered in a strange
culture a long time ago, are just as relevant today.

The Nativity of the Late King Charles, written by the astrologer
John Gadbury only ten years after the King's execution in 1649 and
towards the end of England's only time as a republic, is a
fascinating glimpse not only into the history of a divided and
revolutionary era but also in the manner that a 17th century
astrologer set about his craft. Walking the fine diplomatic line
between presenting Charles I as neither tyrant nor martyr, Gadbury
addresses his astrology-versed readers in the delightfully humble
yet florid language of his day. Constantly begging our forgiveness
for his presumption in examining the horoscopes of the illustrious,
he doesn't shirk in delivering a suitably barbed comment when it's
due. Above all it is illuminating to see how the interpretation of
an astrological chart has changed so very little since 1659. Via
John Gadbury, humanity, history and astrology have spanned the
centuries to reach us today.
This little wok is designed to instruct the mind as yet
unacquainted with the phenomena of eclipses, and to counteract the
prejudice which affirms without examination that these phenomena
are in no way connected with mundane events. In dealing with this
subject, the author shall have occasion to speak of eclipses of the
Sun and Moon not only in their physical causative relations, but
also in their symbolic and prognostic relations. Contents: natural
causes of an eclipse; eclipses of the sun and moon; historical
eclipses; calculate an eclipse of the sun and moon; eclipse signs
and indications; the decanates; transits over eclipse points;
individuals and eclipses.

Pandit Bhambi's earlier book Vedic Sun Signs deals in detail with
the personality characteristics of people born under each Vedic Sun
Sign and each of the Sun nakshatras. In this book, he has used this
system to bring an accurate picture of the coming year for the
twelve sun signs. In addition to the forecasts of different areas
of one's life. Pandit Bhambi has also given the unique "Yukti" for
each month under each Sun Sign. Yukti is practical in nature and
something that can be done to prepare oneself for what life has to
offer. It is different from the upayas which are done after an
event takes place. The second section of this book is on Love
Signs; the combination of each Vedic Sun Sign with all the other
twelve Sun Signs. Readers will be fascinated to note the
distinctive characteristics brought out by Pandit Bhambi. He
provides the reader with a vivid picture bringing our effectively
the nuances in a relationship which would help in building a deeper
understanding. He brings out the uniqueness in relationships based
on the combinations of the various Sun Signs. The readers will get

characteristics of their partner on reading this section.
