With renewed interest in the ancient Cherokee Calendar and other
Native American timekeeping systems, the need for a simple way to
learn the major factors affecting each days has now been filled.
While there are traditionally 22 factors affecting each day, and
calculation can be a time-consuming process, this ephemeris
provides the five most important factors. For each day from 2012 to
2054, the Day Sign, Wind Sign, Week Sign, Year Sign and Year Wind
are provided in an easy-to-use text-based almanac format
The Moon Sign is one of the most important astrological features,
but only a few people know their Moon Sign. The book explains how
to find out your Moon Sign and shows on many examples how it works
in the lives of celebrities. The knowledge of your Moon Sign will
help you to discover your hidden talents, to better understand
people around you, and to live a healthier and happier life. So
what the Moon Sign is? You probably know your "star sign" which is
defined from the date of birth - when reading a "horoscope" in a
newspaper or a magazine, you select the one for your "star sign."
In fact, "star sign" is just a marketing term introduced by
newspapers and magazines, it doesn't exist in real astrology. The
astrological characteristic misnamed as "star sign" is actually the
Sun Sign, i.e. the sign of the zodiac in which the Sun was situated
at the moment of your birth. Okay, so you already know your Sun
Sign, but still, what is the Moon Sign? It's the sign of the zodiac
through which the Moon was traveling at the moment when you were
born. The Moon is somewhat underestimated in Western Astrology but
it is considered to be the main celestial body in Hindu Astrology,
with its uninterrupted, thousands years old tradition. Once you
discover your Moon Sign, you'll feel like you've recognised
something important, essential about yourself. You'll better
understand your strengths an weaknesses and, if you want to dive
that deep, you might even discover why you have chosen to live this
life. These are just a few curious facts from the book: * Both Bill
Gates and Steve Jobs have pioneering Aries for their Moon Sign. *
Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, also share the same Moon
Sign, and also Aries. * Moon in Taurus gave the world some of the
most popular authors including O. Henry, Alexandre Dumas, Ian
Fleming and Hans Christian Andersen. * Quite surprisingly, the Moon
in Taurus also gave the world some of the prominent mystics: Edgar
Cayce, Carlos Castaneda, Emanuel Swedenborg, Jane Roberts. Carl
Gustav Jung was also born with the Moon in Taurus, and some people
could say he was also a mystic. * Gemini is the Moon Sign of the
many of the prominent world's leaders including Simon Bolivar,
Catherine the Great, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Helmut Kohl. And you know
what? Barack Obama is also in this company. * Moon in Cancer gave
birth to a whole presidential dynasty Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were all born with the Moon in
Cancer. * Here is another Moon Sign presidential connection: both
George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush have diplomatic Libra for their
Moon Sign. * Some of the coolest movie heroes - Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney - were all
born with the Moon in Capricorn. In the book, you will find many
more surprises and discoveries. It will also teach you: * how to
find out where the Moon is on the daily basis, and how to use that
knowledge to make your life happier and more efficient; * how to
find a partner with whom you will live happily for many years; *
how to choose the safest day for a surgery, * and many other
things.
Suzan Donleavy's The Whirling Winds: Suffering and Transcendence in
the Movement of Energy reports the findings of a study which
presents new and important astrological information. It is believed
that knowledge of the movement of energy illustrated by the
"Whirling Winds" motif was once known, and has been lost for
millennia. Its rediscovery offers us the possibility of considering
our lives from a new perspective, a perspective closer to an
objective view of reality. In addition to providing a broader
intellectual viewpoint, understanding the inexorable movement of
energy described in The Whirling Winds can free us from what is
often most painful within the sphere of personal relationships: the
turning wheel of attraction and repulsion. This understanding can
also help us to appreciate our waxing and waning physical, mental,
and emotional energy levels. The Whirling Winds offers readers a
method for identifying the sensation of lunar and solar transits
and for verifying the results of the study for themselves, and in
their own lives. The organic understanding that we are all
participants in a greater cosmic-environmental system may provoke a
deeper questioning about our role in this large-scale energy
exchange. And these questions can be a real starting point for a
new level of exploration.
What can we expect from someone with an always ruddy face, a thick
neck, bowed legs or knocked knees? What about someone with a big
jaw, puffy eyes or overly large teeth? Your outer self reveals the
inner you, and this unique and revolutionary look at
astro-physiognomy - the astrology of the face and body - shows us
how we can analyze anyone, instantly, disrobing both friends and
strangers as never before. The Naked Horoscope is a goldmine of
astrological observations for the professional astrologer and the
casual observer alike. It is the most complete work of its kind in
existence, showing, via countless celebrity examples and in stark
detail, how our horoscopes are physically revealed. This is a
whirlwind tour across the stars that challenges us to look at
ourselves and others with newly opened eyes. Eve Romany takes us on
a fast, intimate and raunchy ride through the world of famous
bodies and faces, indisputably linking appearance and astrology.
With her particular blend of insight and caustic wit, the lessons
of this book are speedily and easily learned, never to be
forgotten.
