Can You Foresee Your Future

You can't change your future, you can't go back to your past to set things right, but what you can do is to foresee your future. Sounds like some clairvoyant who is trying to promote astrology isn't it? But believe me this is not astrology but something similar that helps you to foresee what's in store for you in the future. Most of the people may not believe in any aspect of astrology. But I believe astrology is as logical as any other science.

What am talking about in this post is the power of TAROT cards. Yes I am a strong believer of tarot cards. Let me give you a brief intro about what tarot cards are all about.

The tarot card deck consists of 78 cards, 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana. The 22 major arcana cards are supposed to depict a journey through one's life, which originates with the Fool card and ends with a card called The World. These cards have been used for fortune telling for centuries.
The minor arcana is the part of the deck that most closely resembles our playing cards of today. The minor arcane contains four suites, which correspond to any game deck you may have around the house. The suits are Wands (Clubs) Cups (Hearts) Pentacles (Diamonds) and Swords (Spades). Also present are the Queen, King and Knight (or Jack) of each suit, plus the addition of Pages, which resemble young men, or women of court, which are not represented in the modern playing deck.


There is much controversy as to the official history of the tarot.
Some say a medieval version of the cards dates back to the early 1400s. Some people claim it to have an Italian origin owing to it's use of Italian imagery. Others say the cards came from China or Egypt. And of course the Gypsies, long associated with the art of fortune telling, are said to have had a hand in the creation, if not the popularity of the cards. The mystery is further stirred when the correspondence of the cards with Cabbalistic or Kabalistic philosophy is considered. Although agreement of the history and origin of the cards is not to be found, it can be agreed that the tarot is a very popular mysterious oracle.


This is as far as history of tarot cards is concerned. But if you want to try it out, visit http://www.realmsofthearcane.com and see for yourself. First of all clear your mind from all other thoughts, tensions, and worries. Think of the question you want an answer for and then click on the cards one by one. But before you do so you got to have faith before trying it out. You can’t change the future for sure but at least gear up for the things that’s in store for you.

Feng Shui Tips

Well if you want to start the year with something postive then read teh article that I've quoted from fenghshui@rp.astrology.com

The name given to this month of January is actually derived from the ancient name of Janus, a Roman god who is thought to have presided over the dawning of each new year. He was referred to and often revered as the 'God of Gateways' or 'God of Doorways.' As such, he is also known as the 'Lord of Beginnings' (sensing a theme here?), and is associated with that goddess of birthing new babes, Juno.

Janus is the original Two Face (sorry Harvey Dent), as his image is often symbolized by a face that looks both backwards and forward at the same time: a reminder that this is a good time to reflect on the events of the previous year.

It is also important to do so while recognizing the proverbial clean slate of opportunity that waits immediately ahead. This is a great day to look at your own formal front doorway, and make some lucky little upgrades.

If at all possible, paint that front door red (to usher in fortune and fabulous luck) or green (to grow health and happiness and prosperity galore). If you can't or don't want to paint the front door, at least give it a thorough cleaning, and maybe save the fresh coat for another chilly winter day.

Remember, the front door calls in most of the subtle energies that enter your house, as well as has an influence and impact on your opportunities and your income. So, be sure it is in very good working condition. In the case of your front door, the words 'open wide' promise to put a really big smile on your face!

The Beginning of a New Year-2009

The new year has come in with all new promises, brand new beginnings, new surprises, and has a bag full of resolutions to adhere to. So like everybody else I have set certain resolutions for myself.

It is possible that I don't prioratize things. It is also possible that my resolutions are not real. Or I make resolutions just for the heck of it. Well I am still analysing the reason. Anyhow I have certain resolutions that I can share with other people through this write up.

1) I will try and interact with more with people. Because they say social interaction is a way to learn new things.

2) I will definitely put aside time for my personal learning.

3) I will either join a dance class or a foreign langauge class, because learning new things keeps one active.

4) Would try and learn new things that may not be a part of my core job responsibility but will add to my knowledge.

5) Spend at least 10 mins in a day to contemplate whether I have learnt anything or not. Whether I am able to meet my goals personal and professional or not?

Well so much for this year...let's see how many of them I can meet.

VST Buses

Few days back I read in the newspaper that APSRTC has launced VST buses after some 3 decades for few selected routes. I have been travelling in buses for more than 3 years now. But now am eagerly waiting for the VST buses to ply on the routes which I frequent. Apparently these buses have a carrying capacity of upto some 70 people. And these buses will in time carry around 170 passengers back and forth. And the best thing about it is that the fare remains the same as those of ordinary buses. Isn't it cool?
