There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one,
which has been opened for us
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.
who mean something to you;
to those who have touched your life in one way or another;
to those who make you smile when you really need it;
to those who make you see the
brighter side of things when you are really down;
to those whose friendship you appreciate;
to those who are so meaningful in your life.
Don't count the years - count the memories!

Carl was a quiet man. He didn't talk much. He would always greet you with a big smile and a firm handshake. Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could really say they knew him very well.
Before his retirement, he took the bus to work each morning. The lone sight of him walking down the street often worried us. He had a slight limp from a bullet wound received in WWII. Watching him, we worried that although he had survived WWII, he may not make it through our changing uptown neighborhood with its ever-increasing random violence, gangs, and drug activity.
When he saw the flyer at our local church asking for volunteers for caring for the garden behind the Minister's residence, he responded in his characteristically unassuming manner. Without fanfare, he just signed up.
He was well into his 87th year when the very thing we had always feared finally happened. He was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members approached him. Ignoring their attempt to intimidate him, he simply asked, "Would you like a drink from the hose?"
The tallest and toughest-looking of the three said, "Yeah, sure," with a malevolent little smile. As Carl offered the hose to him, the other two grabbed Carl's arm, throwing him down. As the hose snaked crazily over the ground, dousing everything in its way, Carl's assailants stole his retirement watch and his wallet, and then fled.
Carl tried to get himself up, but he had been thrown down on his bad leg He lay there trying to gather himself as the Minister came running to help him.
Although the Minister had witnessed the attack from his window, he couldn't get there fast enough to stop it.
"Carl, are you okay? Are you hurt?" the Minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet. Carl just passed a hand over his brow and sighed, shaking his head.
"Just some punk kids. I hope they'll wise-up someday." His wet clothes clung to his slight frame as he bent to pick up the hose. He adjusted the nozzle and started to water again. Confused and a little concerned, the Minister asked, "Carl, what are you doing?"
"I've got to finish my watering. It's been very dry lately," came the calm reply. Satisfying himself that Carl really was all right, the Minister could only marvel. Carl was a man from a different time and place.
A few weeks later the three returned. Just as before, their threat was unchallenged. Carl again offered them a drink from his hose. This time, they didn't rob him.
They wrenched the hose from his hand and drenched him head to foot in the icy water. When they had finished their humiliation of him, they sauntered off down the street, throwing catcalls and curses, falling over one another laughing at the hilarity of what they had just done.
Carl just watched them. Then he turned toward the warmth-giving sun, picked up his hose, and went on with his watering. The summer was quickly fading into fall. Carl was doing some tilling when he was startled by the sudden approach of someone behind him. He stumbled and fell into some evergreen branches.
As he struggled to regain his footing, he turned to see the tall leader of his summer tormentors reaching down for him. He braced himself for the expected attack.
"Don't worry old man, I'm not gonna hurt you this time." The young man spoke softly, still offering the tattooed and scarred hand to Carl. As he helped Carl get up, the man pulled a crumpled bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl.
"What's this?" Carl asked. "It's your stuff," the man explained. "It's your stuff back. Even the money in your wallet."
"I don't understand," Carl said. "Why would you help me now?"
The man shifted his feet, seeming embarrassed and ill at ease. "I learned something from you," he said. "I ran with that gang and hurt people like you.
We picked you because you were old and we knew we could do it. But every time we came and did something to you, instead of yelling and fighting back, you tried to give us a drink. You didn't hate us for hating you. You kept showing love against our hate." He stopped for a moment. "I couldn't sleep after we stole your stuff, so here it is back." He paused for another awkward moment, not knowing what more there was to say.
"That bag's my way of saying thanks for straightening me out, I guess." And with that, he walked off down the street.Carl looked down at the sack in his hands and gingerly opened it. He took out his retirement watch and put it back on his wrist. Opening his wallet, he checked for his wedding photo. He gazed for a moment at the young bride that still smiled back at him from all those years ago.
Carl died one cold day after Christmas that winter. Many people attended his funeral in spite of the weather. In particular, the Minister noticed a tall young man that he didn't know, sitting quietly in a distant corner of the church. The Minister spoke of Carl's garden as a lesson in life. In a voice made thick with unshed tears, he said, "Do your best and make your garden as beautiful as you can. We will never forget Carl and his garden."
The following spring another flyer went up. It read: "Person needed to care for Carl's garden." The flyer went unnoticed by the busy parishioners until one day when a knock was heard at the Minister's office door. Opening the door, the Minister saw a pair of scarred and tattooed hands holding the flyer.
"I believe this is my job, if you'll have me," the young man said.
The Minister recognized him as the same young man who had returned the stolen watch and wallet to Carl. He knew that Carl's kindness had turned this man's life around. As the Minister handed him the keys to the garden shed, he said, "Yes, go take care of Carl's garden and honor him."
The man went to work and, over the next several years, he tended the flowers and vegetables just as Carl had done. In that time, he went to college, got married, and became a prominent member of the community. But he never forgot his promise to Carl's memory and kept the garden as beautiful as he thought Carl would have kept it.
One day, he approached the new Minister and told him that he couldn't care for the garden any longer. He explained with a shy and happy smile, "My wife just had a baby boy last night, and she's bringing him home on Saturday."
"Well, congratulations!" said the Minister, as he was handed the garden shed keys. "That's wonderful! What's the baby's name?"
"Carl," he replied.
That's the whole gospel message simply stated.
Take 60 seconds, give this a shot! All you do is:
1. Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this, (Father, God bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or she may be needing this day!)
2. Then copy-paste and send it on to other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.

Your fundamental loyalty, moral strength and the authenticity of your sentiments will assure you to discover a complete fulfillment of your love life. Following a change or a new approach in your relationship, you would be obliged to adopt a more just, normal and balanced attitude toward your sentimental life. You should however slow down or put a temporary break to your passionate and excessive demands.
The discreet and beneficial influence on you by somebody who is important will be favorable to the amelioration of your condition and the advancement of your position. Eventually, you would win your case, thus stabilizing your situation in a very strict legality.
A family vacation or change of environment would give you much satisfaction and joy that would assure you of a complete success. On the contrary, there could be confusion or contretemps in your family situation that could likely result from an abrupt setback which would prove to be more beneficial and salutary in the end.
You should watch out your present state of condition as you’ve been behaving somewhat irresponsibly lately rather than looking after your well-being, particularly your health. You ought to slow down and take a break after going through a period of too much activity and excitement. You should therefore revert to a more reasonable and stable conduct.
You must be aware that you can take advantage of the favorable circumstances on the natural evolution of your financial situation at the moment. As a result of a logical conclusion of a profitable business venture, you would come by with an important sum of money that you could reinvest with the help of professional consultants.

A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters but always talked about having a son. They decided to try one last time for the son they always wanted.
The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The joyful father rushed to the nursery to see his new son.
He was horrified at the ugliest child he had ever seen.
He told his wife: "There's no way I can be the father of this baby. Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered! Have you been fooling around behind my back?"
The wife smiled sweetly and replied: "Not this time!"
A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped around his neck.
Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened.
“Well,” the man says, “It’s like this: I was playing a quiet round of golf with my wife when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows.
We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the cows had something white on its rear end. I walked over the lifted the tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife’s monogram on it—stuck right in the middle of the cow’s butt.
That’s when I made my big mistake.
“What did you do?” the doctors asks.
“Well.” the man replies, “I lifted the cow’s tail and yelled to my wife: Hey, this looks like yours!”
“I don’t remember much after that!”

Comme le feu, vous apportez lumière et chaleur: comme le feu, vous devez brûler pour exister. Vous êtes brillant et actif ; mais vous avez besoin d’obscurité et de passivité. La lumière, la chaleur et sa direction ascendante constituent un aspect du feu ; l’autre aspect est sa dépendance envers le combustible auquel il s’attache. C’est cet aspect moins spectaculaire de votre nature que vous devez cultiver. Bien qu’à nos yeux, les flammes soient l’élément le plus caractéristique du feu, « du point de vue du feu », le combustible qui lui permet de se développer est l’élément fondamental. Pour vivre, le feu dépend de ce « partenaire » obscur, il tire sa force de la nature de son combustible. Vous attirez le respect et l’attention de vos associes, mais vous êtes complètement dépendant des principes et des aspirations de votre moi profond. Votre vraie nature, douce et dépendante, ne doit pas être masquée par votre brillante intelligence.
Les pas mal assurés indiquent l’inefficacité et la perte de temps. Mais tant que vos intentions seront claires, vous n’aurez rien à craindre. Dans de telles circonstances, il faut garder sa clarté interne. Par un comportement sérieux, on pourra éviter d’être entraîné par le vertige de nouvelles sensations. Vous êtes en harmonie avec le monde. Tout va pour le mieux.
Vous essayez de trouver un sens à la situation étrange et sans précèdent dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. Vous avez si peu de points communs avec les gens qui vous entourent que vous devez constamment rester vigilant, sur le qui-vive. Quoi que vous fassiez, vous n’avez aucun moyen de connaître les réactions des autres. Il vous est donc impossible de prévoir ou de contrôler les conséquences de vos actes. Jusqu'à présent, vous avez eu de la chance ; vous avez surmonté sans effort – presque inconsciemment – toutes vos difficultés. Mais ne vous laissez pas « griser » par votre succès, jusqu'à croire que vous possédez une sorte de sixième sens qui vous permet de négocier tous les obstacles. Avancez à pas comptés. Vous pourriez vous trouver brutalement confronté aux problèmes que vous vouliez a tout prix éviter. ¶ 9:39 AM 0 Comments
E necessario mettere ordine nei propri pensieri e nella propria vita. A volte seguire soltanto l’istinto o le emozioni di un momento puo portare a compiere gravi errori. L’opportunita di dare un freno a un rapporto dispersivo cercando di ottenere la sicurezza dei valori essenziali. Mantenere in ogni caso il senso della misura senza trascendere.
L’uomo deve imporre dei limiti rigorosi ai propri atti, restando leale e disinteressato. Per conservare la perfetta padronanza della situazione, deve definire i propri bisogni e possibilita, poi attenervisi. In effetti e bene osservare la giusta misura anche nella limitazione, perche se la si vuole spingere troppo lontano, c’e il rischio di rivolta. Per arrivare al successo e dunque fondamentale misurare e soppesare gli avvenimenti e le loro conseguenze.
ARIES. You will need all your courage to deal with challenging situations that would crop up unexpectedly. Although troubles could be your constant companions during this period, you don’t have to despair too much as they will all pass that would leave you a stronger character for the experience.
TAURUS. This is the right time to do battle with what is wanted. You would ever be victorious when you stop defending yourself with excuses. Once you have shown that you mean business seriously, people would think twice before they try to impose on you with petty excuses.
GEMINI. You would likely be confronted with matters of riches, inheritance or attention to family matters. There could also be a question concerning a will, pension or the acquisition of a house or a business property. However, observe extreme caution against getting involved in projects that are a poor risk. Your private life should be so stress-free and settled at this time that happiness would be highlighted with get-togethers such as weddings, christenings or anniversary parties.
CANCER. There will soon be a change for the better as there would likely be renewed activity, qualified success and movement in one’s affairs. On the other hand, rest and relaxation are what you need. If you are sensible you should see that you get them as your health must come first.
LEO. In the battle of life, boldness could change things for the better as there would be generosity, new business opportunities and victory after surmounting obstacles. However, you should choose to spend more time on your own – allow yourself time to relax and generally unwind from the pressures of life and to set some time aside each day to gather your thoughts as this could prove beneficial to your health.
VIRGO. This is a time for reflection in search for what you should want more from life than what you have found already as established pursuits and relationships tend to lose their former attraction and the search begins for something new and altogether more fulfilling at all levels. This quest for new experience is a beneficial move which should evoke many rewards in the future.
LIBRA. This could prove to be a period of unremitting hard work. You should try to remain calm and patient when annoying setbacks occur. Don’t be too proud to accept any help that may be offered no matter how much you suspect the motives behind such a proposal – many hands make lighter work! On the contrary, promising opportunities could end in disappointments because they would not apply themselves to the job in hand.
SCORPIO. There’s a possibility of unexpected good or wishes about to be fulfilled. However, you seem to lack stamina that you fail to achieve what is almost in your grasp no matter how good your intentions are. On the rare occasions you do see a project through to completion you seldom sustain your efforts and lose any ground you have managed to make. You know what you want from life. So now it’s up to you to set about finding the right and most expeditious way to achieve these desires.
SAGITTARIUS. Now is the time to use your creative energy to the full and to build yourself a reputation for being a conscientious person who can produce results. You should also gain materially from your efforts if you are prepared to shoulder extra responsibilities and to tackle any obstacles you may find in your path. A new relationship seems highly likely that could become permanent in the end.
CAPRICORN. This is the start of a transition period from one stage of development to another. You should make an attempt to tidy up all those loose ends, terminate any relationships which have become stale and unfulfilling and put your affairs in order. It could even prove beneficial to change jobs if yours offers few, if any, prospects for the future.
AQUARIUS. This could be a period of triumph, success, control over the forces of nature—thus victory over ill health as well as money difficulties or enemies of any sort, including one’s own lower animal passions. Mental and physical powers should lead to fulfillment. Try to take a short holiday or a few days off in order to relax and let yourself unwind a little because it could have a long-term benefit on your health and physical well-being in general.
PISCES. You should allow yourself sufficient time to see matters in perspective – as they are and not just how they seem to be at a quick glance. On the other hand, something which has been going badly for you could start to improve. However, there is usually a price to be paid and you may have to make a few voluntary sacrifices in order to gain other advantages later in life.

Note, the callers do not ask for your card number. THEY already have it! This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & Master Card Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.
My husband was called on Wednesday from "VISA", and I was called on Thursday from "MasterCard". The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge Number is 12460 your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing company based in Arizona?" When you say "No", the caller continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?" When you say "yes", the caller continues - "I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number." The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. "Do you need me to read it again?"
Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then says, "I need to verify you are in possession of your card". He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers". There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him! After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, "That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?" After you say no, the caller then thanks you and states, "Don't hesitate to call back if you do", and hangs up. You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card.
Long story made short, we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation. The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost too late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report. What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a "Jason Richardson of MasterCard" with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a Police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.
Please pass this on to all your family and friends. By informing each other, we protect each other.
As I couldn't get hold of Yahoo Billing Department personally, I wonder if anyone of you as a Yahoo member has ever received the following notice. Thank you for your kind attention.

You are mentally versatile, constantly seeking ways to apply your talents to get the best results. Your creative ability is usually directed to activities from which you can derive the most benefit. Never content to let your achievements remain static, you try to improve on them. Your view is that if anything can be done well, it can very likely be done better. No one can accomplish more with the least to work with than you can. You are efficient in capitalizing on your resources and talents.
Basically honest, it bothers you deeply when those you must deal with are not. It is the slick operator who disturbs you the most, because he or she may not be as capable as you but succeeds by using questionable tactics. You adhere to the principle that if you don’t know the answer to a question you will admit it. Later, however, you will inform yourself. You have to be on guard at all times for people who will try to deceive you. It isn’t likely they’ll succeed because you are so alert that you can tell if things don’t add up as they should. Anyone violating your trust will have a most difficult time trying to regain it from you.
Your interests are so broad and varied that your success can be realized in many ways. You know how to do many things and do them well. You know how to develop your talents so they earn you a comfortable living. You are impatient with people who dawdle their time away in nonproductive interests.
You seek a mate who will be a complement to your resourcefulness. That person must be willing to share the burden for realizing your mutual goals and objectives. He or she must share your desire to work together and play together, and share in the bounty of your combined efforts.
Ascendant in Scorpio. Scorpio Sun-sign characteristics are more powerfully expressed when it is the rising sign. The tendency for these people to be secretive can become obsessive. Sometimes preoccupied with their faults, those who have Scorpio rising should give themselves credit for their virtues. Emotional security is important to them.
Midheaven in Leo. When Leo is on the Midheaven in the northern hemisphere, Libra, Scorpio or Sagittarius will be in the Ascendant. In the southern hemisphere, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn will be rising. Leo Midheaven bestows a need to achieve and display the signs of success. When Scorpio rises, the determination and powerful energy of that sign, combined with Leo aspiration, offers these individuals everything that is necessary to make them extremely high achievers. However, care is needed if this powerful potential is to be fulfilled.
Sun in Virgo. Reliable, diligent, and modest, Virgoans have considerable nervous energy. This can be a splendid attribute if positively used, but it can also turn to fussiness and over-fastidiousness if unchecked. Virgoans tend to have innate good sense, and their advice can be trusted. Basic Personality. Talkative, lively, and precise in conversation, Virgoans enjoy expressing themselves economically and clearly. Most of them are practical, but if they are not, they can be overwhelmed by fine detail and tend to over-analyze a situation. Relationships. Virgoans can be self-critical and become convinced they are not good enough for their partner. This arises from a natural modesty that is otherwise attractive. Alternatively, they can be too critical of others—a trait that should be curbed. They work hard to provide for the family, but should be careful not to neglect their partner and offspring. Virgoan children may be naturally shy, and self-confidence should be encouraged by their parents. Career. Virgoans make first-rate personal assistants, and their critical sense can be a great help to colleagues less devoted to fine detail. They also make excellent teachers and doctors. Leisure. Fresh air is essential for Virgoans to enjoy good health. Holistic remedies often suit them, and if they find life is becoming frenetic, relaxation techniques such as yoga help to restore their equilibrium.
Moon in Leo. This position is often found in the birth charts of high achievers, especially if the Moon is near the Midheaven, or placed in the tenth house. People with their Moon in Leo can appear overbearing and dogmatic: their immediate instinct in almost any situation is to take over. They are self-centered, and this can lead to arrogance and stubbornness. On the other hand, they usually have the best of motives, and can be a source of inspiration to others. They will find every possible outlet for their potential (which will be indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign) and will achieve their personal aspirations. They rarely do this, however, without going a little too far in the eyes of partners, friends, or colleagues. There is an unconscious need for admiration and attention from others, and if shyness or inhibition is indicated elsewhere in the horoscope, the conflict will result in a tendency to show off and appear over-confident. They cope well in emergencies, for the qualities of leadership inherent in Leo will always be present. This is a placing that needs a steadying influence from other planets in the birth chart. Children with the Moon in this sign can be excessively exuberant, and they should be encouraged to control this trait before it develops into bombasts.
Mercury in Virgo. This is one of the two signs ruled by Mercury, from which its influence is very firm indeed. Great analytical ability is conferred on an individual by this placing, as well as innate practicality and common sense. There is a tendency to follow the path expected of oneself rather than to think out an individual course. There may also be too much concern with detail, which can obscure the overall view of a situation. This will be a strongly Virgoan person with an excellent mind, capable of detailed, analytical work, but who must guard against worry and the tendency to be over-finicky. Self-criticism will sap confidence and encouraged shyness, while nervous haste can occasionally lead to carelessness. Relaxation techniques may be useful to help curb tension.

Self-criticism will sap confidence and encouraged shyness, while nervous haste can occasionally lead to carelessness. Relaxation techniques may be useful to help curb tension.
Mars in Sagittarius. Restlessness is one form or another, is the characteristic most clearly marked in an individual with Mars in Sagittarius in their birth chart. This can be exacerbated if they do not cultivate some form of sport or exercise that will help to diminish the very high level of physical energy that this placing of Mars confers. If this energy is not positively employed, restlessness is likely to ensue. They should find a way of balancing their physical and mental energy, using each equally. They should ideally seek a career that is intellectually or physically demanding. They devour challenges with enthusiasm and appetite, and, faced with what others find an intractable problem, will set out their solution with enviable zeal—a solution that will probably be unconventional, ingenious, and surprising, stemming from their considerable breadth of vision. There is a risk that in the middle of bringing their plans to fruition, restlessness will take a hand. After all their dedication and enthusiasm have been focused on one thing, they will suddenly become bored and start another project. This is because they have a tendency to believe that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. They should be aware of this element within their personalities, and endeavor to keep their energies focused on one thing at a time and to complete all tasks that they undertake. These people enjoy physical risks, and will partake in sports such as rock-climbing and skiing. They are often enthusiastic gamblers.
Jupiter in Capricorn. Here are rather remarkable people, the product of the combination (at best, a successful blending) of very different characteristics: the positive, extroverted qualities of Jupiter, and the negative, introverted qualities of Capricorn. Individuals born with this combination of planet and sign will be ambitious and determined, welcoming responsibilities, able and willing to work extremely hard and persistently, an having admirable powers of concentration. Their outlook on life will be very sensible and intelligent, and they will accept challenges realistically. The influence of Capricorn prevents the blind optimism of Jupiter, and common sense and caution will always inform their every move. The generosity and flamboyance of Jupiter are not often seen when it is in this sign, and the subject may occasionally have a pessimistic or bleak view of life, but their quirky sense of humor is never far away. These people are usually kind-hearted and thoughtful, although they tend to believe that they are always right, occasionally to the point of pig-headedness. This will be a real problem only if Jupiter receives a square aspect from the Sun or Mon, in which case it is likely that the individual will be so stubborn that he or she will refuse to listen to the opinion of others. When Jupiter is in Capricorn, it is important also to consider the position of Saturn in the chart; if it is heavily aspected to the personal planets, Capricorn’s influence can overshadow that of Jupiter’s, and the subject will be sober and serious. As children, those with Jupiter in Capricorn work cautiously, plodding slowly and deliberately up through the ranks of their contemporaries, eventually reaching the head of the class. For these individuals, making steady, gradual progress is likely to be the pattern throughout life.
Saturn in Scorpio. Even when the horoscope as a whole is positive, extroverted, and lively, Saturn will shed a somewhat baleful light from Scorpio. The subject will have a dark, brooding intensity, although his or her rather dour personality is usually lightened by an off-beat sense of humor. People with this position of Saturn will be purposeful and determined, with a great deal of emotional energy directed at achieving their objectives. They will also have an exceptionally shrewd business sense, and usually do very well indeed in big business or on the international money market. Hard work and a strong emotional commitment to the objective goes without saying, but Scorpio can often over-rule Saturnian caution, and then there will be a strong tendency to over-spend. People with a powerful Scorpio influence know how to enjoy themselves, and are willing to spend money on good food and wine. The position of Jupiter and Venus in a horoscope will show how strong the sybaritic tendency is likely to be. On the negative side, obsessive tendencies are all too likely, with perseverance becoming fixation and stubbornness. There can also be a somewhat cruel streak, emerging when the subject is striving for a goal and finds others standing in the way. Ruthlessness can then surface. This position of Saturn can complicate the sex life by inhibiting a full expression of desire, and making the subject feel restless and unfulfilled. In a partnership, the inner voice sometimes instigates jealous, and if this is not combated it can have a negative effect, not only on a partnership but on the subject’s own equilibrium—and sometimes on the physical well-being.
Pluto in Scorpio. Pluto is at home in this sign and works energetically from here, so one might expect strong symbols of change to emerge from this placing. Lessons are always learned the hard way through Pluto, and this has been a time in which the world has been forced to take stock of food and fuel. Also during this period, the financial implications of Pluto in its own sign have made themselves felt. The desire to make more money and the increasing expansion of world markets are inspired by this planet. This is a time when people born with Neptune in Scorpio in their charts (1956 to 1970-71), are making their presence felt as they climb to important positions of power and influence—in politics and financial institutions, as well as less obvious fields such as fashion and music. Pluto’s entry into Scorpio has had a powerful effect on the people of this generation, and this is reflected in the preponderance of the Scorpionic color black in the fashions of the 1980s and the emergence of heavy rock music during this time. On a personal level, Pluto can bring great intensity and a sense of purpose to individuals from Scorpio, but if the planet receives negative aspects from the Sun, Moon, or ruling planet, it can precipitate psychological problems that must be resolved if the individual is to develop his or her potential. These energies will be stronger and more useful if the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant is also in Scorpio, but they will need to be carefully channeled if they are not to be wasted. If Pluto is conjunct the Midheaven or in the tenth house in a birth chart, this person will most likely have a considerable desire for power.
PLANETS THROUGH HOUSES
First House. Pluto. Whichever sign Pluto occupies, from this house the planet’s influence will darken the personality. These people have n instinctive urge to explore every aspect of a situation or problem in depth. The tendency can be extremely useful in some jobs, but there is also a danger of becoming obsessive. Pluto in the first house heightens the emotions, and these individuals are likely to be extremely passionate and sensual. These people tend to be ambitious, and their emotional energy will also be channeled into their careers. Saturn. Saturn, from this house, can bring inhibition and shyness, and the closer Saturn is to the Ascendant, the stronger the effect will be. However, common sense and self-confidence will develop as the individual matures. Carefully study the effects of the sign in which Saturn is placed its characteristics will be influential. This placing tends to lower physical vitality, which may be exacerbated by a touch of hypochondria.
Second House. Uranus. This is the house of money and investments. When Uranus shines from this position, these people often display an unpredictable attitude towards money, and rash investments may lead to financial problems. However, if a practical earth sign is emphasized in the chart, considerable financial gains could be made. If Uranus is badly aspected by the Sun, Moon, or Venus, these subjects may be cool and distant, finding it difficult to show affection to their loved ones. Mars. The acquisition of wealth and possessions is emphasized here. The sign that Mars occupies indicates how money will be acquired: through careful investment, skilful dealings, or a long hard slog. These people are passionate and can be possessive. If Mars occupies Taurus, Cancer, or Scorpio, the subject may possess a fiery temper and will not be quick to forget an insult.
Third House. Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of the intellect, and the third (Geminian) house has strong connections with the mind. As a result, these individuals thrive on intellectual challenges and enjoy constant mental activity. They like to keep abreast of current thought, and are incisive social commentators. These people have excellent communication skills, and thrive on stimulating discussion and debate. Travel is important, unless Jupiter is in a fixed sign.
Tenth House. Moon. This placing signals a longing for fame and celebrity. Often the subjects come from a family of high achievers, and will work hard to live up to expectations. These individuals make natural leaders with an ability to inspire love and respect in large groups of people. They are understanding and sympathetic, with a longing to put the world to rights. An ideal position for those interested in politic.
Eleventh House. Mercury. Social intercourse will be of the greatest importance—these people simply must communicate, and will possess a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Every spare moment is likely to be occupied by getting out and about. The subjects may find fulfillment in charity work, where their communicative skills will be useful. The Sun and Mercury live closely together, and Mercury in the eleventh house and the Sun in the twelfth may sometimes suggest a spell of peace and quiet, and the subject must remember to take this hint. Sun. These people have a strong sense of responsibility to the community, and possess deep-seated humanitarian instincts. They are intensely sociable and friendly, with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. The ideal career would be charitable fund-raising which combines their two main interests—charity and socializing. The subjects have an independent streak and, despite their enjoyment of group activities, they can distance themselves from close relationships. To discover whether they may have problems in this area, look at the position of Venus and at the seventh house.
Twelfth House. Venus. When in love, these hopeless romantics tend to be extremely secretive. They will strive to conceal their deepest emotions from their friends, and may even find it difficult to articulate their feelings to their potential lovers. These individuals can suffer from a strong sense of isolation, which may result in comfort eating and drinking. Alternatively, solace may be sought in religion. The influence of Venus is particularly strong if the planet is conjunct with the Ascendant.

Se l’uomo aderisce al principio divino che e in lui, fa istintivamente cio che e giusto, con innocenza. I’innocenza originale, priva di secondi fini, conduce l’uomo al successo perche egli si trova in armonia con il cielo. Ma se lo stato naturale non e l’innocenza, se si risveglia la cupidigia, ci sara sventura. Restare fideli a se stessi. Cio che abbiamo perduto, se davvero ci appartiene, tornera da solo.
Per essere seguiti bisogna suscitare fiducia adattandosi a una situazione. Non bisogna agire d’astuzia ne con violenza, ma perseverate nella giustizia nella sincerita. E bene riconoscere il momento d’agire e quello di fermarsi.
E obbedendo che si arriva a comandare e che si puo ottenere l’aiuto degli altri. In amicizia bisogna scegliere con prudenza: se si frequentano persone indegne, si puo perdere l’affetto di altre persone di grande valore morale. Bisogna saper scegliere, senza lasciarsi fuorviare da esseri inferiori e avvilenti. Se si persevera in questo senso, il successo sara puntuale.

ARIES. At last, you would finally encounter someone from your long search in the lonely-hearts club. You would also find a new professional prospect and/or obtain compensation for all your efforts in the past. Try to explore new interests in spiritual matters, like transcendental meditation, Yoga or Zen.
TAURUS. You will rediscover happiness and enjoyment from the past such as meeting with a childhood acquaintance or a former loved-one. There would also be a possibility of making new friends. This will be a week rich on pleasant memories. You could likely expect a gift from an admirer. Try to discover new knowledge, sport or hobby.
GEMINI. This week could announce success, abundance, good luck, fortune and victory. There would be a happy issue of an undertaking. Beware of too much sensuality, overindulgence in food and drink.
CANCER. This is a period for good resolutions. However, slight success must be followed up. You would need new will and determination to make an intelligent selection as you could have several alternatives to choose from. You would do well to examine your motives carefully to ensure that you make the right choice. Avoid wasting your time on illusionary success, castles in the air or an imagination that has been brewing overtime.
LEO. You will receive what you deserve. You could expect gifts, inheritance, or gain in material undertakings. After a long period of difficulties some headway can now be made because a major obstacle will no longer stand in you way.
VIRGO. You’re in for great haste, great hope or rapid advancement as you approach your goal. There would be a tremendous amount going on around you with much coming and going of people, ideas and objects. You could expect to receive messages or letters of love. On the other hand, an important matter which has been subject to delays in the past should now speed up and reach a pleasing conclusion. Communications and travel will be highlighted. Be sure to watch out for important new contacts on the way.
LIBRA. There would be material increase or gain in commercial transactions during this period such as expansion and opportunity for personal advancement. Now is the time to think a little bigger than usual, to push yourself and your ideas or to ask for promotion or advancement. You may need to work harder than normal but the rewards should prove adequate compensation for all the extra effort required.
SCORPIO. You should need boldness and courage in embarking on an enterprise. Great opportunities for future success could be offered to you but proceed with caution if you don’t want to see them vanish before your eyes. Treat anything which appears suspicious with extreme care. You should exert influence over others with tact and diplomacy. Try to show kindness and generosity.
SAGITTARIUS. You could be embarked in a hectic but trying period. So, be prepared for delays, cancellations and a great deal of wasted time. Your private life could prove rather confusing that would need careful handling if you wish to continue in your present relationship. In the end, a positive outcome is quite likely when something much better and longer lasting can be established.
CAPRICORN. This could be a highly favorable period for realization of hope, established strength, wealth or power. Caution must be taken against pride and arrogance. Help will be offered by a successful acquaintance but watch out for any strings attached.
AQUARIUS. Your worries and problems would soon be solved, but avoid force and energy applied to selfish ends. Your health should be particularly good during this week. You should endeavor to channel all your surplus energy into a project which is both useful and creative.
PISCES. Success, happiness and pleasure are well indicated under this vibration such as promises of love and romance which might develop into a more lasting relationship. Some of your dearest wishes would possibly become realities, unless your best intentions are sincere and honest. Good luck!

Your personality is reserved, cautious and given to moments of incredible loneliness. Your emotions do not permit you to derive any satisfaction without paying some penalty. You are ambitious to achieve the best possible romantic relationships, but you always seem to settle for less than that. You are serious and more concerned with achieving goals and objectives than in having domestic bliss. You have some difficulty in projecting warmth and tenderness, thus you attract those who will accept a contractual relationship with you so that it seems like a business arrangement.
You are intensely emotional and want so much to express your feelings with someone very special. Your judgment is biased by material considerations and security, so that a purely emotional contact is less likely. Your desire for a home and domestic security is shared with your continuing interest in a professional life of your own. You want to be recognized as a very capable, organized individual who doesn’t have to depend on anyone, as a person who can succeed on your own merits if you want to.
Parental conditioning may have been the cause of your insecurity, and your father, in particular, may have caused you some bitterness in your youth. Because of this, it might be better for you to accomplish your professional objectives before you turn your attention to marriage. After you’ve proven yourself to eliminate any self-doubts as to your competence, you may then need to relate in a personal, warm and tender relationship that has all the earmarks of success.
Warm climates are better suited to your physical needs, and above all, try to look at life with optimism.
Giacomo Leopardi is considered one of Italy’s illustrious poets of his time. He was born in Recanati on June 29, 1798 and died in Naples on June 14, 1837. In commemoration of his death anniversary, the Marchigiani Association of Belgium organized a conference on his literary life and a reading of his selected poems in Brussels on June 14, 2006. ¶ 8:39 AM 0 Comments
Maria
Born on Thursday, 3 June 1976 at 10:15 AM in
Ascendant in Cancer. The caring instinct is particularly strong when Cancer is rising at the moment of birth. The homemaking impulse can be very powerful in Cancer-Ascendant people, and in a partnership they are supportive and ambitious for their lover. Those without a family will channel their homemaking instincts into worthy cause—often charitable or ideological. They often worry unnecessarily about their health and this can become a way of life.
Midheaven in Aries. When in Midheaven is Aries, Cancer or Leo will be in the Ascendant in northern latitudes. In southern latitudes, Gemini or Cancer will be the rising sun. Anyone with Aries as his or her Midheaven will aspire to be independent and assertive. When Gemini is rising, the individual is likely to express the Geminian ability for wheeling and dealing to achieve his or her own ends. If a subject has Cancer rising, the sensitivity of the rising sign means that his or her concern for other people will hinder success. Nevertheless, the attraction to Arien interests will be very powerful, and he or she will have the desire to be a big achiever.
Sun in Gemini. Versatile and communicative, Geminians can also be superficial and inconsistent. They tend to be witty and lively, and remain youthful in old age. Geminians rarely do one thing at a time—they will read two books at once, write letters while watching television, or hold down two jobs. Basic Personality. Geminians have a talent for communication, and journalism is an ideal occupation for them. They tend to have very quick intellects fired by curiosity and rational minds. Their strong sense of logic enables them to grasp the elements of a situation or subject quickly. Relationships. A dull partner, however attractive, will not be tolerated long by a Geminian. Shared interests are important but not necessarily shared views, because discussion and argument are the spice of life to a Gemini. Geminians make lively parents, but can be too fault-finding, forgetting that their child may not be so quick-minded as themselves. The Gemini child is intelligent, but is easily bored and should be encouraged to finish all tasks that are started. Career. Work in all branches of the media is ideal for communicative and versatile Geminians. They are often natural salespeople, and prove to be shrewd in business. However, they dislike solitary work and may be unhappy if they are promoted to lonely positions of power. Leisure. Geminians do not know what leisure is, they fill every moment with activity and are always seeking out ways to amuse themselves. They should burn of their nervous energy with sports such as squash, tennis, or jogging.
Moon in Leo. This position is often found in the birth charts of high achievers, especially if the Moon is near the Midheaven. People with their Moon in Leo can appear overbearing and dogmatic: their immediate instinct in almost any situation is to take over. They are self-centered, and this can lead to arrogance and stubbornness. On the other hand, they usually have the best of motives, and can be a source of inspiration to others. They will find every possible outlet for their potential (which will be indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign) and will achieve their personal aspirations. They rarely do this, however, without going a little too far in the eyes of partners, friends, or colleagues. There is an unconscious need for admiration and attention from others, and if shyness or inhibition is indicated elsewhere in the horoscope, the conflict will result in a tendency to show off and appear over-confident. They cope well in emergencies, for the qualities of leadership inherent in Leo will always be present. This is a placing that needs a steadying influence from other planets in the birth chart. Children with the Moon in this sign can be excessively exuberant, and they should be encouraged to control this trait before it develops into bombasts.
Mercury in Taurus. Inflexibility will be a characteristic of those with Mercury in Taurus, particularly an inability to change the mind. Common sense will be present, as will the ability to plan constructively. The mind may be slightly slow, but steady and careful. Mercury rules Gemini, and its effect is strong and in this case beneficial, steadying the subject and enabling him or her to act with deliberation. These people assimilate facts easily, and have practical common sense along with the natural Geminian liveliness and versatility.
Venus in Gemini. These flirtatious people need partners who are intellectually as well as sexually stimulating. They are reluctant to settle down but are capable of sustained devotion. They have a flair for money-making. Love affairs can be inhibited by the tendency to over-analyze emotions. Quick wits help financial success.
Mars in Leo. The fiery enthusiasm, energy, and assertiveness of Mars is well suited to Leo, and people with this placing of the planet will have an immense love of life, and will also be eager for others to enjoy themselves. Powers of leadership will be strong, but individuals must guard against being overly assertive and pushy, especially when dealing with those less assured than themselves. There will be a keen sense of drama, which again needs to be carefully controlled if it is not to expand and become showiness, exaggeration, and bombast. These people do not suffer pompousness or self-indulgence gladly, and small-mindedness and pettiness will be deeply despised, sometimes to the point of rudeness. The quick temper of Mars is flaring and passionate, but at least Leonine magnanimity ensures that any clash is quickly forgiven and forgotten. The sex life will be enthusiastic, colorful, and rewarding, and there may well be a creative passion for art. If Mars is negatively aspected by Saturn energy may be unevenly spent, but provided that more sober elements of the horoscope help the subject to use the energy in a controlled way, this placing is wonderfully invigorating physically, and these people are likely to enjoy robust health. There may be minor trouble with the spine, especially if days are spent at an office desk, and yoga or the Alexander technique might help. Leo rules the heart, so aerobic exercise such as swimming or dancing is recommended.
Jupiter in Taurus. This placing of Jupiter can bring material success by encouraging an individual’s desire to be successful: making money will always be a prime motive. People with Jupiter in Taurus usually invest cleverly and well. They have an excellent sense of timing, and are able to predict the movements of the market. These subjects are generous, and derive great pleasure from entertaining others. This marries rather too well with one of the main attributes of this combination of planet and sign the enjoyment of good food. These people are true gourmets and love eating and drinking, and there is a distinct possibility that under any anxiety or stress, particularly emotional stress, comfort eating becomes a problem. If Jupiter is afflicted by the Sun, Moon or
Saturn in Cancer. A considerable degree of financial shrewdness is possessed by those with Saturn in Cancer, and these subjects will have not only the ability to make money but also the intuition to invest it advantageously. They also possess a strong sense of purpose, and great tenacity when following a decided course. The need for real emotional stability is very strong, but the ease or difficulty with which this is achieved will often depend on how the individual was treated as a child. If the father was particularly strict, for instance, or there was some kind of emotional deprivation, the person may have suffered and, as a result, may find it difficult to take even small problems in his or her stride. Saturn in Cancer often indicates someone who has a great desire for a stable and secure family life but has problems achieving it. These people have a tendency towards anxiety, but find it difficult to share their problems with others. If this is not to affect their relationships, and make them inhibited with their partners, they must try their best to free their emotions. If Mars or Jupiter is placed in a fire sign, or if either is well aspected, this can do much to alleviate the problem.
Uranus in Scorpio. The influence of Uranus is at its most intricate when working from Scorpio. The planet is exalted in this sign, so its strength will be increased dramatically. When its dynamic force is added to the emotional intensity of Scorpio, it will endow these individuals with extraordinary power. They will be brave and daring but tend to disguise this fact. They do not like to show emotion or lose control, and will always remain calm on the surface even if inwardly they are boiling with anger or disgust. It is very important for these subjects to use their emotions constructively—and for them to release them gradually so that positive achievements and inner satisfaction might be gained. Uranus was in Scorpio from 1975 to 1981, and those born during this period are still quite young. The most dramatic of this generation will have either a Sun or a Moon in Scorpio, or a Scorpio-Ascendant. They will feel a powerful need to influence the course of world events and many of them do so, sometimes by the most positive and telling arguments and actions, sometimes by behavior that is quite negative and destructive. Parents who have children with Uranus in Scorpio in their chart should try to help them recognize and avoid their tendency to feel depressed about problems such as poverty and environmental pollution, because this despair can turn to negative thinking and self destructive behavior.
Pluto in Libra. Sexual permissiveness and the relaxation of traditional moral values was a main theme during the period Pluto spent in Libra. The contraceptive pill brought freedom from the fear of pregnancy for many women, and consequently this was an era when the unfettered pursuit of erotic pleasure seemed a desirable and harmless end in itself. As far as the personal influence goes, Pluto spices up the somewhat placid temperament of Libra, but also increases the Libran tendency to cause problems just for the fun of solving them. This is particularly the case in emotional partnerships, where the pleasure of reconciliation is considered well worth a few hours of unproductive argument. This argumentative trait emerges when Libra is prominent or if Pluto is personalized, the possessiveness and jealous can be problematic in intimate relationships.
PLANETS THROUGH HOUSES
First House. Saturn. Saturn, from this house, can bring inhibition and shyness, and the closer Saturn is to the Ascendant, the stronger the effect will be. However, common sense and self-confidence will develop as the individual matures. Carefully study the effects of the sign in which Saturn is placed its characteristics will be influential. This placing tends to lower physical vitality, which may be exacerbated by a touch of hypochondria.
Second House. Mars. The acquisition of wealth and possessions is emphasized here. The sign that Mars occupies indicates how money will be acquired: through careful investment, skilful dealings, or a long hard slog. These people are passionate and can be possessive. If Mars occupies Taurus, Cancer, or Scorpio, the subject may possess a fiery temper and will not be quick to forget an insult. Moon. This position indicates a need for security, and the positive attitudes of the Moon (which depend on the sign of the planet it occupies) will flourish in a stable environment. Emotional happiness may be dependent on a comfortable financial situation. If money is short, these individuals are thrown into a state of anxiety, imagining poverty and hardships. A practical influence elsewhere in the horoscope will counter this tendency to worry about money.
Fourth House. Pluto. This is not an easy placing for Pluto, and may indicate a difficult childhood. The parents may have been distant and unloving, or repressive disciplinarians. In an attempt to compensate for their unhappy childhood, these people will be eager to create a close and secure domestic scene, but must beware of becoming too possessive of their loved ones.
Fifth House. Uranus. This placing often indicates a string of whirlwind affairs with unsuitable partners. The subjects tend to display a somewhat reckless attitude towards affairs of the heart, plunging into new relationships without pausing to consider the consequences. Creative potential is greatly encouraged by this placing, and these people often make talented artists, actors, and musicians.
Sixth House.
Eleventh House. Jupiter. These individuals are sociable and warm-hearted. They care deeply for their friends, and will want to do their bit to help humanity at large. The subjects generate a great deal of energy and enthusiasm, and make excellent campaigners and fund-raisers. They work particularly well as part of a team, and do not enjoy solitary endeavor. Mercury. Social intercourse will be of the greatest importance—these people simply must communicate, and will possess a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Every spare moment is likely to be occupied by getting out and about. The subjects may find fulfillment in charity work, where their communicative skills will be useful. The Sun and Mercury live closely together, and Mercury in the eleventh house and the Sun in the twelfth may sometimes suggest a spell of peace and quiet, and the subject must remember to take this hint.
Twelfth House. Sun. Peace and quiet one’s own space, and the time to be alone are all prime concerns for someone with the Sun in the twelfth house. If the Sun sign shares these characteristics, the individual may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. They will be at their happiest working behind the scenes, in a quiet pursuit of excellence but without demanding great acclaim. Venus. When in love, these hopeless romantics tend to be extremely secretive. They will strive to conceal their deepest emotions from their friends, and may even find it difficult to articulate their feelings to their potential lovers. These individuals can suffer from a strong sense of isolation, which may result in comfort eating and drinking. Alternatively, solace may be sought in religion. The influence of Venus is particularly strong if the planet is conjunct with the Ascendant.

Vous êtes au cœur d’une situation chaotique. Vous avez découvert une force extérieure si puissante qu’elle est devenue l’élément majeur de votre vie. Si vous pensez que la situation est difficile, confuse, dangereuse, c’est que vous résistez à votre propre voie. Si, au contraire, vous considérez avec bienveillance les extraordinaires possibilités qui s’offrent a vous, si vous relevez ce défi passionnant, alors vous suivez naturellement votre voie. Deux conseils : (1) Concentrez-vous entièrement et exclusivement sur la situation présente. (2) Vous ne pouvez contrôler véritablement des changements aussi importants sans l’aide de ceux dont les buts et les principes sont proches des vôtres.
Un obstacle a surgi sur votre route. Il est normal que vous hésitez et teniez compte de la situation, mais ne perdez pas de vue votre objectif final. Lorsque vous êtes arrêtés ainsi dans votre progression, vous devez mettre votre énergie au service des autres. Les difficultés que vous avez rencontrées sont trop importantes. Vous vous êtes résigné à la défaite. Au lieu de vous laisser aller au désespoir, vous devez comprendre que ces difficultés sont le signe d’une nouvelle voie.
Vous savez harmoniser le passé et le futur. Vous vivez pleinement dans le présent – non comme un saint, délivré de l’illusion du temps, mais vous êtes capable de considérer les illusions du passé et de l’avenir sous leur vrai jour. Vous êtes toujours prêt à affronter les changements les plus inattendus. Vous avez des objectifs et des aspirations, mais vous les considérez d’un point de vue objectif, en sachant que la réalité ne coïncidera jamais avec votre idéal. A vos yeux, ni le passe ni le futur n’ont le caractère sacre du présent. Vous agissez librement sans être concerne par l’idée du temps. Vous n’êtes ni attaché a des formes statiques, ni poussé par la crainte, ni limité par des stratégies encombrantes. Vous voyagez d’une expérience à l’autre. Exemple idéal pour ceux qui ne sont pas encore délivrés des illusions du passe et de l’avenir, votre caractère équilibré a une influence positive sur les autres.
Ogni cosa a suo tempo. Attendere consapevolmente evitando ogni tipo di azione. Sta per capitare un fatto inatteso: aspettando con perseveranza si acquistera la forza necessaria per affrontare il destino. Conviene non tormentarsi ed avere fiducia nel proprio destino: se ne restera padroni solo grazie alla fermezza interiore. Davanti al pericolo non bisogna mostrare oa propria forza, non bisogna affrettare le cose, ma bisogna saper attendere con la certezza che si raggiungera il proprio scopo.
La non-azione provoca dei pettegolezzi. E opportuno essere costante e il successo sara assicurato. In un momento di calma inaspettato e bene fortificare il proprio carattere e stare all’erta.
Ci si sente soli anche in mezzo alla folla, non ci si fida piu di niente e nessuno. Si consigliano prudenza e fiducia in se stessi. Non e bene isolarsi ma nemmeno farsi ingannare da persone disoneste che si approfittano della nostra fragilita. Non bisogna lasciarsi abbattere da avvenimenti sfavorevoli, ma quello che conta in questo periodo difficile e mantenersi prudenti e riservati e restare nell’ombra per non attirarsi critiche e inimicizie. Tuttavia questo oscuramento deve essere solo esteriore; all’interno di se conviene restare luminosi, allo scopo di continuare a lavorare nell’ombra e far trionfare la propria volonta quando le difficolta saranno appianate.
ARIES. This is the time when your private life is stress-free that you may even feel inclined to start making new, rather ambitious plans for the future. Happiness is also highlighted for family gatherings such as weddings, christenings or anniversary parties.
TAURUS. This could be the beginning of material gain and professional success combined with pleasure and beauty. Your life would be full of rewards for past efforts plus the chance of lucky accidents thrown in for good measure.
GEMINI. You could expect a particularly happy, easy-going period of your life when friendships could play a major role in your affairs. Your business partnerships could look promising while romantic life is well aspected with perhaps engagement or marriage on the agenda.
CANCER. You may be in for a busy and physically demanding period as you would be called to make some form of personal sacrifice to fulfill your obligations such as one of your children would need your special attention and support or an elderly relative could prove burdensome. However, this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Have courage and don’t despair.
LEO. You are in for a very promising week when your plans and ventures would likely be materialized with success. However, help from superiors and protection of influential acquaintances might be needed. Contracts and travel are well aspected during this period.
VIRGO. You would feel extremely happy and confident during this week as this could be the beginning of great love, joy, contentment and productiveness. This would be a highly favorable period to marry, begin a family, change job or move home. This will remind you that when the mind is filled with Spirit, it will be filled to overflowing.
LIBRA. For the sake of your personal growth, you should try to get away from familiar surroundings and spend a few days entirely on your own in order to stimulate your minds with new experiences. Let your mind wander where it likes and be sure that you make a mental note of everything you see and do for future reference.
SCORPIO. Your affairs have probably reached an all-time low and that you could be feeling very angry and bitter about it. Take heart though as it promises that matters would begin to improve almost immediately, although whether you ever reach again the dizzy heights from which you recently fall is really up to you.
SAGITTARIUS. Try not to be in too much of a hurry to put your new ideas or plans into action as there could be many alternatives to be explored that your first choice may not necessarily be the best. Remember to learn from past experiences by not making the same mistakes all over again. This is a time for a major reassessment and the formulation of new plans that could probably be brought about by a general feeling of dissatisfaction with life.
CAPRICORN. You should experience a period of good health as you could be feeling on top of the world when no task would seem too onerous. However, you should try to resist temptation to push yourself to the limits or pay the price at a later date. A wealthy marriage is likely possible for those who would sacrifice love for financial security.
AQUARIUS. Stimulating developments could take place in your career which should prove to be a great success provided that you get your facts straight and that you always play by the rules. However, business opportunities and travel are well aspected while other forms of partnership would also be likely, such as a new romantic attachment or a formal engagement.
PISCES. This is a highly favorable period when some headway can now be made because a major obstacle will no longer stand in your way. However, travel and/or a move of home may be necessary before even further progress can be made. This is a matter you should consider carefully and not underestimated or to be made on the spur of the moment.

Your highly strong and independent personality is shown clearly from the strength of the principal lines on your hands as well as by the prominent mounts, particularly that of Jupiter for ambition, authority and individuality; Venus for passion and sensuality; and Moon for imagination, creativity and mobility.Your headline shows a writer’s fork. However, I can see that you have a strong sense or inclination toward business, but mainly for personal satisfaction. There seems to have been a long difficult and trying period between your 14th and 18th birthday as indicated on your lifeline, either by your being a rather spoiled and capricious child or a rebellious student in school who wanted to learn more than what your teachers knew. In fact, you weren’t only intelligent but also smart because you finished your studies among the top in the class. A part of this period was also corroborated by your heartline which could show your first sentimental fiasco. On the other hand, things have picked up and improved gradually before you reached 20 and still continuing to be positive up to the present.
Concerning your early career, you must have had a difficult time between 21 and 22 as soon as you finished your studies and started to work. Incidentally, you got your first break before your 23rd birthday that was followed shortly by a radical change or a promotion. However, more changes occurred between 26 and 27, another significant one at 28. I can see that you succeeded to overcome an obstacle either in obtaining a higher promotion or putting up your own business venture. You’ll likely have a very hectic time between your 30 and 40. There’s an excellent perspective for professional improvements foreseen between your mid-40s and early 50’s when your natural sense for business would bloom and mature.
Sentimental-wise, you appear to be a difficult person to contend with, because you’re too demanding to all of your expectations from the person you fall madly in love with. As I’ve said before, you’re a very fiery and passionate person to sensuality that you could easily fall madly in love at first sight. The first two serious love affairs you have had were one between 16 and 17 and the other between 20 and 21 which could be the comeback of what you have now or a completely new one. Nonetheless, there are other faint lines that are showing when you’ll reach 40 and 50 or beyond as the print aren’t too clear enough to be deciphered and analyzed. Moreover, I could see 3 children lines most likely your own as you like to have them or those of your brother or sister with whom you’ve grown affectionate to because you’d like to put off motherhood until later if possible in order not to sacrifice your independence and career.
I can see that you’ve already traveled widely before, but you’ll be doing more in the future particularly to where the sun is for pleasure and rest and to the emerging economic powers in Asia,
Suddenly tears rolled down from my eyes as I learned the news about the passing away of Dean Eugenio the other day from the email of one of his granddaughters. For an instant, I couldn’t help but sobbed wretchedly as an orphaned child that I felt so shattered and forlorn for having lost a very dear and beloved person whom I highly esteemed and respected as my own father.
How I remember him very well that summer of 1963 when I decided to enroll in the university after 3 years of reflection since I finished high school when I took up different vocational courses in order to learn a trade so that I could get a decent-paying job in order to support myself to finance my college studies. Somehow, I felt a certain pang of fear and anxiety as I approached his table hesitantly. In a split of a second, I had to stop midway in order to decide whether I should make a go at it or just walk away. In the stillness of such a seemingly critical soul-searching moment, I heard his soothing voice calling for me to advance as he said the magic phrase “what can I do for you young man” with such a smile which could practically make that of Mona Lisa as an obvious sign of derision and provocation. He immediately broke the ice and made me feel at ease as he presented me the subjects for the semester and then enrolled me officially.
Through him, I saw the very image of what I had wished my father would have been as a role model had he ever lived to see me grow up. Even though he exercised the function of a dean, he never showed an air of self-importance and a somewhat dictatorial authority over others. As a matter of fact, he had a very direct and close personal contact with his students and teaching staff which I did admire as his extraordinary human quality. His office doors were always wide open and anybody could drop by and say hello or even consult him for a tête-à- tête without a prior official appointment.
Finally, I’m very grateful for him for having taught and shown me the importance and true essence of such virtue as honesty, humility, loyalty, patience and perseverance, but most especially the respect for others. If ever I succeeded to carry the good name and reputation our school as the only French Government scholar during his time, it is exclusively thanks to him for which I feel very proud to have made it in his honor.
Goodbye Dean Eugenio. You will always be forever in my heart and prayer.

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain
degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain
efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
Il est possible, et plus conseille, de se lancer dans des entreprises présentant des risques. Il vaut mieux cependant toujours s’appuyer sur un guide capable, ferme et constant. Dans notre société il faut trier et sélectionner, sans quoi, c’est le chaos. Les principes qui fondent la société sont ceux qui orientent votre vie. Bien que vous reconnaissiez l’existence d’un certain nombre d’injustices au sein de la société, vous les considérez comme inhérentes et nécessaires à son fonctionnement. Chacun de vos actes s’inscrit dans ce contexte : une confiance totale envers les structures sociales. La prédominance de l’Etat sur l’individu ne vous pose aucun problème de conscience. Vous êtes capable de tenir votre rôle dans la société et de vous réjouir pleinement de tout ce qui peut contribuer au progrès social. Vous vous tenez à l’écart du stress et des convulsions qui agitent les structures sociales. Vous considérez la condition humaine dans sa dimension épique, dans son union fondamentale avec le divin, par-delà le bien et le mal !
Votre sphère sociale est par trop limitée. Dans une situation qui requiert le concours d’un maximum de personnes, vos amis sont trop peu nombreux. Cette attitude qui reflète une étroitesse d’esprit et un snobisme certain sera considérée comme telle par les autres.
Si les choses sont faites avec amour, pour le bien commun, et que l’on s’efforce d’atteindre l’extrême perfection, on s’élèvera au-dessus des hommes. Grand pressage heureux pour l’avenir.
Mais attention : un excès de confiance en soi conduit souvent a ne plus reconnaître les dangers. Il faut savoir ce maîtriser, veiller à ne pas perturber ni altérer les grands équilibres naturels, chaque chose devant rester conforme à sa nature et à sa destinée.
Un progresso armonioso deve governare l’azione, perche la precipitazione condurrebbe al fallimento ell’impresa; qualsiasi successo fondato sull’agitazione e la febbrilita sarebbe di breve durata. La perseveranza e indispensabile al progresso graduale. La crescita dell’albero sulla montagna e impercettibile a occhio nudo; tuttavia, esso cresce. Deve laborare per il proprio sviluppo personale, allo scopo di avere piu peso e influenza.
Per arrivare alla meta che ci si e proposta, spesso ci si trova in circostanze negative. L’importante e sapersi barcamenare e sapere resistere. Il progresso e stato troppo precipitoso e ora ci si trova isolati. Alla fine vi sara fortuna, ma bisogna pazientare.
La situazione e tale che non puo garantire stabilita ne durata di relazioni. La solitudine e inevitabile per chi non ha il tempo di coltivare i rapporti con tranquilita. Si consiglia la prudenza e la discrezione: vivere bene in questo momento significa non dare troppa confidenza, pur restando disponibili agli approcci del prossimo. Il viaggiatore deve fare attenzione a risiedare in luoghi sicuri, scegliendo i propri interlocutori; cosi potra proseguire la propria strada senza essere infastidito. Deve quindi restare moderato in tutte le cose, non obbligarsi troppo, eventualmente erigere delle barriere fra lui e gli altri, pur mantenendosi cortese nei loro confronti. Evitera di spingersi avanti se vuole raggiungere il proprio scopo senza complicazioni.
You have an intense emotional nature and your feelings are frequently expressed in extreme ways. On the one hand you may become infatuated by the attention you attract from others, and at other times you may enjoy teasing those you entice and nothing more.
You attract people with your magnetism because you project desire, and you may not even be aware of it. There is no way you can be sure of the kind of person who will respond to you. The result is that you may have become defensive as your dealings with everyone.
You are possessive with the persons you like and love. Be careful you don’t become vindictive because of jealousy. This can cause you endless problems in your relationships. Try to differentiate between people who are sincere in relating to you and those who make no contribution to sustain a genuine relationship. You must also watch that you don’t expect a lot from people, since you are inclined to be an opportunist.
You need to avoid indulging in daydreams so that you lose your contact with reality. The present is so important to you that you may not plan for the future by developing your creative potentials. You can easily get into a rut and wonder why you are not progressing. Develop your latent abilities and utilize those talents by applying them efficiently to your goals. You tend to resent suggestions from well-meaning friends as an attempt to discredit you. This is an emotional reaction and not a valid conclusion when you take a realistic view.
When others are honest with you there is nothing you won’t do for them and no sacrifice is too great. On the other hand, if anyone undermines you in any way, it’s unlikely you will ever forgive them nor forget it.
ARIES. You are certain to acquire a few extra responsibilities from which you can expect no immediate release which may tend to cramp your style. But when the burden is finally lifted, it should herald the beginning of a new and improved phase of your life. Be patient and try to rise above these temporary restrictions.
TAURUS. This is highly likely a period of successful planning before starting a new venture of some kind such as the opening of a business, purchase of a new property or on a more personal level, marriage and parenthood. Look after your finances or your enthusiasm could cause you to overspend.
GEMINI. You will be in a period that would promise substantial progress in a project for which you are solely responsible coupled with some form of personal reward in recognition of all the long hours and hard work you have invested in it. A major change in your lifestyle is also indicated which will be necessary if you wish to build a more secure future for yourself. Some of the restrictions which you have been under in the past should now lift giving you more personal freedom and ample time to enjoy it.
CANCER. Now is the time to double your money and really make a financial killing provided that you pay attention to detail. Don’t allow over-enthusiasm to get the better of your good sense – and money. Material gain through skillful manipulation of your resources is definitely on the cards at this time.
LEO. You should be able to sit back a little and really enjoy your achievements. You could always use this breathing space to plan what your next move should be. Your private life should also settle down and the need to be continually providing yourself to your partner should gradually fade away, leaving you a more relaxed person.
VIRGO. You should consider with extra care any decisions or changes you may be about to make. Your immediate future looks unlikely too promising for several reasons – some of your friends or associates would take advantage of you whenever they have the opportunity to do so; partnerships and speculations could be screwed up because you have been given second-rate guidance; union politics could play a deciding role in your future prosperity. Proceed with caution during this tricky period – it’s only temporary and will eventually pass.
LIBRA. You will need to muster all your fighting spirit if you wish to emerge victorious under this period. Justice will be done but you must put your case to its best advantage. You should also be prepared for disputes and arguments that could flare up on the home front.
SCORPIO. You will need to be extremely flexible during this period and should be prepared to alter existing plans at the last moment without becoming pissed off. Opportunities to travel could also come your way although your movements will most probably be restricted to your own country.
SAGITTARIUS. This is particularly a fertile phase in your life when seeds sown for the future are sure to take root and grow into success and abundance. You should endeavor to convert your ideas into reality – the rewards for a productive intellect could be especially great during this period. It is also a good time to consider entering into marriage or starting a family.
CAPRICORN. The time is right for you to put some of your ideas forward for consideration. Your brain should be functioning at its very best so you ought to be able to solve some long-standing problems during this period.
AQUARIUS. You could likely be faced with a difficult decision involving a moral issue. Unfortunately your standards may be rather higher than the accepted norm where your difficulty will lie – should you be true to yourself and miss a golden opportunity or should you turn a blind eye and accept the offer? Only you can decide, so don’t rush to give your answer.
PISCES. This is a particularly happy and trouble-free period of your life when you can afford to relax and simply enjoy what life has to offer. Your family and friends will play an active role in your affairs when there should be many social functions to which you will be invited. The keywords here are entertainment, enjoyment and friendly company.

Dear Thomas,Thank you so much for sending me your handprints. I'm so glad that you marked with color the two pentagrams you told me about in your first mail. Personally, I might take them for asterisks that resemble a star which could signify a trying or delicate period in your life, but surrounded by a big square that must have protected you from any negative factors or elements that could have affected you even worse if it weren't present. Although the signs couldn't be visible clearly to the naked eye, they're so remarkable that they followed one after the other in succession during and after a somewhat difficult and critical period that have affected your life through a radical choice of career that must have taken you a couple of years or so of reflection when you were almost completing your initial studies, perhaps from medicine or engineering to business when you were between the ages of 24 and 25!
From the overall layout of your hand, you're an intelligent and artistic person who is sensitive and sentimental, i.e you feel melancholy and sadness deep inside you. When things would fall apart and you feel vulnerable and helpless, you couldn't help but burst into tears far away from the indiscreet glances of the crowd. I wouldn't be surprised at all if sad stories or films would easily make you cry. You seem to idealize love so much that you want to find the perfect partner who would share and reciprocate equally your happiness and sorrows throughout your life.
You're so compassionate and altruistic to be easily moved by the suffering and injustice of others that you'd like to bail them out from troubles at all cost. I can easily understand why you dreamed to become a doctor when you were young, because you'd like to make yourself well from the delicate state of health you went through from your very young age up to your mid-teens and to take care of others. If you have a way, you'd like to change the world in your own way so that it could be a better place to live in. Somehow you have had a protected childhood. You're too fortunate to have 3 guardian angels that look after you on a permanent basis since you're born.
You must have gone through a great deal of ups and downs in your sentimental life. Perhaps, you're in love on and off and that you're were so wary not to be hurt again after you suffered a series of deceptions between 14 and 22. I believe your left hand would tell me more about your early love life on how chaotic it was. However, your right hand reveals me that you met your first true and serious love when you were 24, more or less. Unless otherwise I'm not mistaken by the faint lines appearing on your union line, you'd have 3 children! Perhaps the third could be your favorite niece or nephew! On the other hand, you'd still be meeting another one with whom you'd fall madly in love again before you reach 35, or even earlier! Good luck!
Your sound financial situation is guaranteed for life, i.e. you'll not be short of finances even at the last minute! You'd travel far and wide for business and pleasure to Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
Career-wise, you have had radical changes and improvements when you were 25 and 26, but the most significant one was before you reached 29! Between 30 and 40 would be a highly fulfilling and rewarding period with substantial expansion and progress foreseen between 37 and 39!
Before you reached 28, your health had bounced back to normality and had improved gradually onwards to give you a more positive and happy disposition.
