Astrology...Darwin's theory proves occult science rings true!

If you scan the daily horoscope and follow the advice competent astrologers have conjured up the morning newspaper, understandably, the predictions may not pan out.

That doesn’t mean to say that the divining tool is a lot of bunk.

Unfortunately, the newspaper columnist probably tossed together a general reading for the teaming masses, which may not be sufficient for a handful of individuals to utilize effectively in their daily lives; after all, overriding planetary influences may require a shift in focus to interpret the influence of the moon, the sun - or even another sign of the horoscope - prominent in the heavens at the precise time of birth.

For instance, although an individual may be born under the sign of Libra, a brief review of the mid-heavens may establish that Taurus was “rising” when the newborn child was delivered into the world.

In that event, it would be of paramount importance to have a full “chart” (a blueprint of life) prepared by a competent astrologer, who is capable of preparing a forecast that reflects the influences that have a direct bearing on the fate and destiny of the querent.

A computerized analysis that was prepared for me years ago by a legit astrologer - based on the aforementioned criteria - was so accurate it was downright mind-boggling.

By the way, it should be noted for the record - that a couple of decades ago - a handful of scientists conducted an intriguing study in a concerted effort to determine if the principles of astrology rang true.

The outcome of the thoroughly professional research was broadcast on CBC radio - and the results were, to say the least - startling!

For instance, the scientists selected a handful of subjects born on the same day - at the same precise hour, minute, and second - and proceeded to take an in-depth look at their personal and professional lives to determine if there were any unusual or unique ssimilarities.

It is important to note that the “two individuals” selected for each study - were not actual “twins” - born into the world with the same set of parents.

However, for the purposes of this particular study, it was important that each subject be born at the exact moment on the same exact date under the same set of planetary influences in effect at the time of birth.

Got it?

In sum, the researchers sought to determine if Darwin’s following theory (which triggered the study) had any substance or basis in fact.

What is born of a moment partakes of the nature of the moment

When the results were in, the findings were astounding, you betcha!

As it turned out, the subjects ended up living parallel lives in many instances.

For example, in the event two babies were born into the world at the exact same second in time on the exact same day - even if they were born a scant few miles apart – the children may have ended up being christened with the same first name.

Curiously, more striking similarities also popped up, when more in-depth studies were undertaken.

For example, two children – though not related – may have found themselves raised in similarly-styled semi-detached homes in the suburbs just miles apart (in spite of the fact their families never met each other).

The more pronounced the set of astrological influences in play at the time of birth, the more noticeable their lives mirrored each other, in fact.

In one shocking scenario, two men shared the same first and last name, worked in the same profession, and drove cars that were of the same make, color, and so-forth-and-so-on.

But, get this!

One day, both men were driving down the same highway toward each other, when they crashed in a freak accident and ended up being the "cause" of each other’s death!

Did you just hear the eerie stains of the Twilight Zone theme bouncing around inside your head just now?

For good reason, researchers labelled their subjects "time twins", and proceeded to assert that the studies undoubtedly established that Darwin's theory was probably correct.

On the heels of that observation the doubting-Thomases pointed out that astrology may be more of an exacting occult art than originally thought.

Skilled intelligent interpretation is a prerequisite, though, if a chart is expected to be facilitated for any practical use in an individuals life.

There are several techniques involved in the casting horoscopes.

Transits are based on the actual motion of planets moving through a sign or house within the horoscope.

Another method focuses on "progressions" based on the movements of the planets after birth symbolically related to a particular cycle of life.

Throughout history known astrologers often relied on close observations of celestial objects and the charting of their movements.

Modern astrologers use data provided by astronomers known as the "ephemerides" which focus on the changing zodiacal positions of the heavenly bodies through time.

In view of the foregoing, interested believers may be inclined to sign up for an astrology course, to learn more about this fascinating subject.

If that event, seekers of knowledge - interested in their own fascinating destinies - may opt to attend meetings like those held at the Astrological Society in San Francisco.

Astrology is believed to have originated in China.

The year?

About the 3rd millennium BC.

Allegedly,  Confucius once mused:

"The heavens send down good or evil symbols & wise men act accordingly."

Tsou Yen - a Chinese astrologer (300 BC) - once opined:

"When some new dynasty is going to arise, heaven exhibits auspicious signs for the people".

During the Middle Ages astrologers were called mathematici.

Historically the term "mathematicus" was used to denote a person who was proficient in astrology, astronomy, and mathematics.

Well-known "seer" Nostradamus allegedly based his predictions on "Judicial Astrology" - which referred to the "quality" of events - such as births, weddings, coronations.

Michel de Nostredame, who was born in December of 1503 (the exact date is unknown), was a reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that focused on world events.

Nostradamus is best known for his book "Les Propheties" (The Prophecies).

Since the publication of this book - rarely out of print, by the way - Nostradamus has attracted a following that has carried on through to this century.

Generally, legitimate academic sources maintain that the associations he made between world events and his quatrains were largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations which place their integrity in question.

Today, such an individual practising this arcane art, may charge a hefty fee for their services.

I don't have to consult the stars to figure that one out!

May the force be with 'ya, eh?

Nostradamus predicted the end of the world!

Happy Birthday...to George Clooney, Orson Welles, Rudolph Valentino, Sigmund Freud, Willie Mays & moi! It was predicted in the stars...

May 6th has always been an auspicious birthday for individuals seeking to stand out, be original, and achieve in their chosen fields of endeavour.

Today, as I celebrate the "anniversary" of my birth (along with that handsome devil-may-care actor George Clooney) I am inclined to reflect on the issue.

The "sexiest" man alive and I also share the honor with celebrated film director, Orson Welles; screen idol, Rudolph Valentino; Willie Mays, baseball great; and - last, but certainly not least - dream analyst, Sigmund Freud.


I was born just after midnight on the 6th.

As the story goes, my doting father called my Aunt Evelyn to inform her of the good news.

"Victor, it's the middle of the night. Are you mad? Call me in the morning," she whined just before hanging up the phone in his ear.

To some, a bouncing baby boy is not a bundle of joy, I suppose.

Years later, when my Aunt was inclined to boast that I was nearly born on her birthday - May 5th - I didn't have the heart to reveal that I was privy to her selfish response a few dusty decades prior.

When I scrambled out from under the covers bright and early this morning, I dashed to snatch up the morning paper; after all, a special forecast is cast for celebrants experiencing their birthday on the day of publication.

Here's what Holiday Mathis predicted for Georgie-boy and moi this year:

"You hit your stride this year and become powerful in a family or organization. July brings a surprise visitor. There will be a windfall in October (can't wait!). Libra and Leo admire you (better ask folks what their sign is pronto so I can manipulate the scenario!). Your lucky numbers are 3, 5, 39, 15, and 5."

Oops!

Ms. Mathis repeated 5 twice. Guess the science is not always exact due to human error, eh?

Actually, I studied astrology "many moons" ago.

When people complain that their daily horoscope is not always accurate, there is a sound reason for that, 'ya know?

The daily forecast is sketchy and based on general trends for the "sign" in question.

If a true "reading" is desired, then a chart would have to be mapped out based on the specific heavenly influences at play at the exact second, minute, and hour of the subject's "b"-day.

Years ago, when I sprang a few bucks for an in-depth analysis, the assessment was pretty right-on.

Even down to my "sexual" proclivities!

Some say, that astrology rings true because of one of Darwin's most thought-provoking theories:
"Whatever is born of a moment partakes of the nature of that moment."

To determine if the theory was correct, years ago CBC radio tested the theory, and later broadcast the startling results.

In particular, the study focused on individuals who were not related by family, but nonetheless, were born the exact moment under the same set of circumstances influencing the mid-heavens on a specific date.

After exhaustive investigations into the personal and professional lives of the subjects meeting the basic underlying set of criteria, the conclusions were unanimous.

Individuals born the exact moment in time - even though not related or falling under the classic sibling scenario - tended to live "parallel" lives.

Consequently, they were labeled "Time Twins".

To illustrate, consider these case histories that were held up to scrutiny by the scientists.

In one instance, two men born in the same hospital at the exact same second - to separate parents tended to not only live "parallel lives" - but were drawn to similar types of people, places, and things.

For example, two male babies were both named "John", for instance, in spite of the fact the families hadn't met and didn't know each other.

When the two young men reached adulthood - and married - they both got hitched to a pretty young lady by the name of "Mary".

Each had three children, ended up in management for a career, and drove a Volvo.

The study determined that the farther apart babies were born (at the exact second in time) the more pronounced the differences in their personal and professional lives.

Because the "John" individuals were born in the same hospital at the exact same time, their parallels were more astounding.

Two children born under the same set of circumstances in the mid-heaven at the exact moment in time - but brought into the world in hospitals sixty miles apart - might result in more dramatic differences.

In one shocking instance, two men were given the same Christian names, resided in similar semi-detached homes, married a woman with the same first and last name, and so forth and so on.

One day, each was travelling down the road toward each other on the highway, and crashed, and were the cause of each other's death!

Bizarre, eh?

According to the principles of Numerology, a subject must add all the digits of their birthdate to determine their basic personality traits and overall lot in life.

May 6th folks are 1's.

1's tend to have very distinct individual personalities, may be loners, and creative in nature.

Instinctively, such a person can rise up the ranks to become the head of an organization or a politician.

After all, 1's usually possess leadership ability.

But, one classic Taurus personality trait often threatens to undermine their success in life, unless kept in check.

Stubbornness!

Personally, I've turned that potentially-negative trait into a positive one by harnessing its obvious strengths into a "stick-to-it" aspect of my character, that drives me forward when the going gets tough.

Nope, Taureans are not quitters.

In fact, later in life, "bulls" usually end up luxuriating in the fruits of their labor.

When it comes to friends, individuals born under the sign are "solid" and may be relied on.

Watch out for Geminis, though.

They're flighty as he**, Dudes!
