The sign of the "Protector". Cancer is the true nurturer of the Zodiac, always caring and considering others well being. Cancer is an extremely emotional sign, and is closely related to the feminine aspect, or the mother. Like the soft white rays of the moon, Cancers motives are almost always pure. This makes for a very beautiful and lovable person. Although the Cancer personality can be very vulnerable at times, it has its defenses. People born under this sign tend to be shy and keep their distance. Cancer is always quick to forgive and their strength lies in their ability to move past petty issues. Although sometimes gullible, Cancer always rebounds and turns a dark situation light. Cancer people although not usually leaders, know how to move people. They connect to others on an inner level, and always influence the people they associate with for the better. Once committed, Cancer people are extremely devoted. They are always faithful and loyal, but their relationships need security. Cancer personalities need constant reassurance of how their partners feel, and sometimes can become too dependant. Cancer places high importance on the idea of family and the home. Cancer personalities relate well to children, and are a true inspiration of spirit to those in need of assistance. Cancer people are fair minded, and always willing to compromise. They are extremely resourceful when the time comes, and can seem to pull just what they need right out of thin air.

Final Thoughts: With such overwhelming emotions, be careful not to let people walk all over you. Nurture yourself from within, and you will find that your relationships will grow for the better. Be careful not to be too over dependant on what others think or feel. Your feelings really are just as important, and most of the time are much more credible. Know that you are a source of inspiration for others, so try to always keep your motivations pure. With such deep devotion to life and to others, know when the time has come to move on. Don't think you can change everyone. Keep strong and faithful to life and yourself, and you will find all that you are looking for. By : intuitivetarot

The sign of the "Leader" or "Ruler". Dedicated to the throes of passion, the personality type of Leo makes no exceptions. "Love me or Leave me, either way you'll always have my heart", should be this signs motto. Leo is a truly unique sign in that it takes everything to heart, but yet always stays in the dominant position. Passion, Desire, and Creativity are Leo's middle name. Leo combines all three to push life to its limits to withdraw life's ultimate pleasures. Leo people always look good, and try to persuade others to be lavish in their styling . Leo reminds us all that looking good and feeling good is also an important part of life. Leo is also a very sexual sign. That spark of creativity throughout Leos personality is what most partners are looking for in the bedroom, and Leo types are all too happy to spread it around. Leo people also have a flair for the dramatic, but this is what makes them so full of passion. This personality type can take any situation, and turn it into something so big one would be willing to give everything they had for them, and you Leo's know this all to well.. Leo is Desire. They always place their heart before their head, sometimes making rash decisions which result in messy affairs.

Final Thoughts: With such creativity and dominance in life, the Leo personality should be more then successful in this life so long as they can keep that fire focused. Over indulgence in the pleasures of life is not always a good thing. Remember you will always have other opportunities, but why not try to make this one work first. Try to be humble, and balance some of that childish need for attention into some true creativity.

The sign of the "Critic" or "Technician". Virgo is the sign of the realist. Virgo's earthy nature is well informed of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. One of the most reliable signs of the Zodiac, Virgo has the potential to outshine them all. The Virgo personality is a very controlled one. The necessity of being completely aware of their surroundings can become more then tiring for them. Virgos pick up where others leave off, they need to have the understanding of the finer details of life. What may seem monotonous to others is Virgos sport. Opposite of Gemini, Virgos tend to be extremely one minded, and are overwhelmingly focused. One of the main focuses of Virgo is work. On more then one occasion Virgo's will bring their work home with them. Virgo's are always in need of leaving a good impression. This is why they have the unfair reputation of being a perfectionist. Although Virgos can be quite self-conscious, it is only because of a need to fit into their social environment. Virgo people have noble motivations, they help humanity by excruciatingly analyzing and pointing out mistakes others may have missed. Virgo personalities are extremely involved in diet and health issues. Virgo people usually have a regular workout routine, or are members of the local gym. Virgo's knows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that a little working out will never hurt anyone. Virgo people are extremely dependable and sincere. Their head rules over their heart, so their relationships are usually very realistic and accommodating.

Final Thoughts: Learn how to relax, everyone needs to take a break sometimes. Try not to get too caught up in the finer details of life that you miss the big picture. Beauty is on the inside as well as on the outside and not everyone judges a book by what's on the cover. Always remember, nobody's perfect. Sometimes life's biggest rewards come from life's biggest mistakes. By : intuitivetarot

The sign of the "Diplomat". Libra is the complete ideal of balance. Much of Libra's work is dedicated to pleasing others rather then the self. This leads them to be extremely fair to others, but rather unfair to themselves. Libra's love to beautify the world. Libra's will go out of their way to ensure that the world is a beautiful place to live, but completely forget to cut themselves a little piece of that world. Libra's always share their love and their life with others. They are a very outward and outgoing personality. The Libra personality tends to make swift but just decisions, propelling them toward great achievements in this life. Libra's are also team players, they work extremely well with others and are not so dedicated to the project, but to the team. Libra's are also easily upset when things don't go their way. They are more then ready to make their case known when needed. Libra's sometimes fear making wrong choices and upsetting others, and this can really effect their emotional stability. Libra also has the tendency to be somewhat superficial. They believe wholeheartedly that what's on the outside is a good representation of what's on the inside. Libra also has a somewhat low tolerance threshold. They can easily be upset and can become quite unbalanced when provoked. Libra is the go between, he will always be the one to bring peace to unsettling circumstances. Libra's also have the tendency to balance things out in their mind, and avoid their own responsibility. This can lead to many broken friendships, and lost loves. Overall, Libra is the most balanced of the Zodiac, one day their up, and the next their down, but they are almost always fair.

Final Thoughts: Try not to forget to be fair to yourself also. Reward your selflessness every now and then. Be fair when judging decisions regarding yourself, you too will have to face the music one day or another. Slow down and take a few deep breaths, if you want to change others, try changing yourself. Allow others to adapt to your changing lifestyle. When things start leaning against you, keep calm and think things through, don't let superficial issues bind you down. By : intuitivetarot

October 23 - November 21

The sign of the "Investigator". No one is safe from the prying eyes of the Scorpio. The intuitive nature of the Scorpio is designed to penetrate what others hold as their deepest secrets. One way or another a Scorpio will find out what it wants to know. Only they may never show you their true feelings about what they have found. Scorpio is subtle, persistent, and extremely determined in all its different facets. A natural digger of facts, Scorpio always has ulterior motives that are not quite apparent on the surface. Scorpios sometimes display powerful feelings and emotions outwardly but usually only in private. Scorpios love mystery, and feel this is what keeps their relationships going. They are loyal and passionate, but when things start to go wrong, they can really be quite unrelenting. Very similar to Cancer, Scorpio's are extremely sensitive and emotional and love can be extremely overwhelming feeling for them. Because of their deep feelings, Scorpio's tend to have extreme mood changes. Scorpio is a powerful sign, and an extremely imaginative. On occasion, their inner thoughts get the better of them and they create irrational stories which fuel their inner possessiveness. They tend to let their emotions build up, and release them all at once. On the flip side however, Scorpio's are very caring and loving, and with the right partner, have extremely enduring relationships.

Final Thoughts: Try to be more open when dealing with relationships. Don't let your worries or emotions build up so much that you tend to drop a bomb on your partner. It can really be hurtful. Your intuitive nature can be a real benefit when working with the occult or spiritual realms. Explore these areas to the fullest, and you will truly benefit from the experience. Don't let your natural gifts go to waste.

November 22 - December 21

The sign of the "Gypsy". No other sign takes life more spiritually then the Sag. A constant philosopher, and natural born wonderer, Sag's are always looking for answers to life's big questions. Sag's tend to be extremely sincere and open-minded, but at times they can be overwhelmingly tactless and thoughtless in regards to others. Sagittarius is the romance capital of the Zodiac, they plunge themselves fully into relationships, but prefer freedom, rather then commitment. Sag's need their freedom to explore. If their freedom is infringed upon, they can be quite belligerent. Relationships with the spirit, and with others is top priority for the Sagittarius. Their relationships have to be in a give and return fashion, otherwise they will place their aim into another direction. Along with Sagittarius comes high hopes. They keep their nose up, and they aim high. They may not always hit their target, but that was never really the point anyway. Change and variety are extremely important to Sagittarius. Without constant movement and inspiration, Sagittarius will become restless and their energy may lull. The Sagittarius has a wonderful balance of intellect, and spirituality which can offer limitless possibilities to make a difference in this world. However, the Sag must come to self-realization first before he can extend himself to help others.

Final Thoughts: Being honest is not always the best policy. Take time to think before you give advice, your opinions may be true, but they can also be very hurtful. Relax and simply enjoy life, sometimes you can be too serious, which can really detract from the quality of your life. Try not to get too involved in other peoples affairs, sometimes your opinions are not always warranted. By : intuitivetarot

Fengshui: Delapan Pantangan Interior (1)

Pintu masuk dengan balkon belakang membentuk satu garis, disebut sebagai Pantangan Menembus Ruangan.(Gambar 1)

Pantangan ke-1: Denah pantangan menembus ruang

Yang disebut Pantangan Menembus Ruangan ialah pintu masuk utama dengan pintu belakang atau balkon belakang terhubung menjadi satu garis, selain itu di tengahnya juga tak ada halangannya, udara, angin, pencahayaan dengan langsung mengalir menembus ruang tamu.

Ilmu Fengshui pada dasarnya menghendaki harus mengumpulkan angin menghimpun Qi.

Pantangan Menembus Ruangan bisa mengakibatkan medan Qi (energi) terus menerus menerima gangguan, sehingga penghuni sukar mengumpulkan harta dan juga bencana berupa kehabisan sumber penghasilan, disebut Pantangan Utama Hunian Apartemen.

Terdapat belandar (balok) di atas pintu masuk utama, disebut Pantangan Menembus Hati (Gambar 2)

Pantangan ke-2: Denah Pantangan Menembus Hati

Yang dimaksud dengan Pantangan Menembus Hati ialah merujuk pada blandar, atau balok kayu di atas pintu masuk utama.

Selain itu balok tersebut dari luar menembus ke dalam rumah dan tegak lurus dengan pintu masuk, bahkan menembus bagian atas pintu kamar tidur dan pintu dapur.

Pintu masuk utama identik dengan karir, pantangan menembus hati mudah mengakibatkan penghuni tak mudah mengatakan apa yang ia derita dan menelan air mata, giat tapi hasil tak terlihat dan nafsu besar tenaga kurang.

Titik Pusat Kediaman, disebut Zhong Gong (中宮,baca: cung kung ). (Gamabar 3)

Pantangan ke-3: WC, dapur dan tangga terletak di Pusat Denah

Zhong Gong (Pusat Denah) dari tempat tinggal bagaikan jantung manusia, ialah posisi terpenting dari seluruh rumah, juga adalah tempat utama yang paling mempengaruhi peruntungan materi dalam keluarga.

Sedangkan WC adalah tempat untuk membuang kotoran, WC mutlak tidak diperbolehkan mencemari titik pusat tempat tinggal, jikalau WC terletak di Zhong Gong, akan mudah terkena penyakit pada bagian pembuluh jantung dan lain sebagainya.

Dapur termasuk elemen api, jikalau kompor gas terletak pada Zhong Gong sebuah rumah, maka terbentuk suatu denah Api membakar Zhong Gong, salah satu penghuni mudah terserang penyakit yang berkaitan dengan sistem pencernaan. Terlebih lagi bagi tuan rumah, mutlak perlu diperhatikan.

Juga rumah bertingkat di dalam gedung, atau bangunan yang di perluas ke atas, menara dan lain sebagainya tentu dirancang juga ruang tangganya.

Untuk itu hal yang paling pantang adalah merencana ruang tangga pada titik pusat rumah, atau bordes tangga terletak pada titik pusat rumah. Ini adalah denah paling buruk dalam Fengshui.

Tangga, bagaimanapun adalah tempat untuk naik dan turun lantai, membuat orang mengaktifkan otot, bisa menimbulkan letih, ruang tangga terletak di Zhong Gong menandakan tuan rumah bisa sangat sibuk, bersamaan itu juga bisa terserang penyakit persendian tulang, bahkan dengan kondisi tekanan darah tinggi.

Pantangan ke-4: Denah dengan ruang tamu pada bagian belakang rumah

Ruang tamu menjauhi pintu masuk rumah, terletak di bagian belakang rumah, bahkan harus melalui dulu kamar tidur, dapur, WC dan lain sebagainya, tidak selaras dengan kebiasaan penggunaan pada umumnya.

Sesuatu yang mengarah kepada luar sebagai Yang, yang mengarah ke dalam sebagai Yin, luar-dalam menjadi terbalik, Yin Yang keliru tempatnya, menandakan dalam hati gundah dan gangguan dari luar tiada henti. bersambung
