Cartmonancy is the art of reading someone’s fortune with a modern deck of playing cards. One of the primary elements of this divination art is the predominant suit found in a reading. See what the four suits; Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades predict in terms of your fortune and areas of interest.

Cartmonancy; from Tarot Cards to Playing Cards

Just as playing cards evolved from the Tarot deck, Cartomancy developed from Tarot reading. Lacking the cards of the Major Arcana, and the four pages or lords from the Minor arcana, playing cards give a simpler reading, but can still provide us with facilitating insight. Also, learning to do a reading with normal playing cards is easier, and the materials are easy to acquire. Other aspects of the layout for a reading, gain significance in the absence of the major arcane cards. One of these aspects is the presence of a dominant suit, where there are a greater number of Hearts or Spades, than the other three suits in the reading. The suits, as well as what they mean when they dominate a reading are shown below.

Hearts - Love and Home Life

Hearts as the dominant suit in a reading predict overall good fortune. They indicate that the reading will predominantly deal with your emotions and domestic life. Love, passion, marriage, and family all fall under the influence of this suit. Hearts also stand for true friendship, and bode well for being successful in realizing your dreams.

Clubs - Money and business matters

Clubs as the dominant suit in a reading indicate that a reading relates to business and money matters. They can point to either great success, loyalty, and financial comfort, or their opposite: failure, betrayal, and financial troubles. It all depends on the rest of the reading.

Diamonds - Work and the World

Diamonds as the dominant suit in a reading indicate that outside forces are in play. They indicate that outside influences must be dealt with and overcome in order to realize your dreams. This suit predicts that struggle and effort are in your future.

Spades - Dangers and Mis-fortune

Spades as the dominant suit in a reading are a warning of danger ahead. This is a suit which predicts loss, suffering, treachery, and failure unless these warnings are headed and acted upon. Trouble in spades is truly an accurate saying.

As I write the article I feel humbled. Truly I do not know or think whether I even deserve to have such visions. In any case there will critics for this article. “He is saying what is already possible, nothing new, it is all hum bug what is so great “. True I am saying any thing; certain new and some trends are visible in some areas. There will always be human beings who will run down other good work in some way. I truly bow to these people also.

There are many so-called saints who give dooms day prediction of world coming to end. I used to get frightened of them. Disasters and calamities are part of natural cycle. That does not make any far-reaching predictions. I have got with dooms day of Nostradamus prediction being interpreted, though I see him as a great man. But many men, whose caliber does not match with this genius, interpret things that will create only dooms day. I have never given thought to Nostradamus predictions in any extensive manner.

Following is a vision I have been guided to write.

I see bridges across continents were traffic moves in different ways.

Every human being wants unity. Every thing across the world wants to go back natural state of the unity. In the history of the world first man got united through water. Ships traveled across the world and sowed the seeds of travel global.

Then the air got united which is by the use of telephone. Now any one can call up any part of the world.

Then the fire go united which is also globally vision which comes as television beamed across the world. There is a effort for global help for natural disasters like tsunami.

Then there is earth getting united, which I see as

I see bridges across continents were traffic moves in different ways.

First there will be economic integration,

Then there will be social integration

Finally the political integration.

So the birth of global government with world parliament is what I see debating issues for the world.

There is global citizen ship and local pass port,

There is one currency plus a local currency for each areas.

A global banking control authority, global stock exchange and commodities exchange.

The world will organize itself in economic zones. For example coffee will be from Srilanka, Brazil and India . Each country will specialize in two three products or services.

There will also be integration of Asian countries, then the Americas countries then it will be Africa. First it will be loosely formed agreements and pacts, which will slowly give, arise to the on economic zone and collective bargaining. This will be transitional process, which will have its own share of success and problems.

There will be special economic packages for poor countries and also reservation for countries from poor people.

Blood of many races will mix which means love marriage across religion, colors will give arise new breed of men whose energy structure will be different.

There will be globalization of saints.

Travel cycle will be so less that many people will fly to India to America in less than 3 hours.

Man will master the ability to travel beyond sound and speed in mass manner.

I see people flying like little birds using machine. This will happen slowly.

I also machine men working as slaves for human being. Robotic will reach new heights were many new models and innovation will happen were labors job will done by machines. Initially it will be for small functions then specialized function will happen. There will be some disaster but over all human being will be in control.

There will be rise of fusion music which will give arise new forms of music which will give arise to one global music were many good principles of music will be there.

There will be one global medicine. The study of medicine will become longer and many alternative practices will get integrated with allopathy. The principles of definition in allopathy will under go many changes. The artificial implants of organs will be common and so will be creating babies. Mother Earth will preserve creatures and create them.

Petrol will get replaced as fuel. This will give arise to natural fuels in the world which will be less pollutant. Arising of white fuel is what I see. I see usages of multiple fuels.

The Middle East will become attain democracy with more wars will be fought and slowly the age-old animosity between Jews and Muslim will arise in limping fashion. This will not happen in next 60 years.

There will be bridge between India and Srilanka which will in turn connecting many islands and then finally across continents.

Management’s principle will be global. Structure systems of many organizations will change.

Saturn turned direct on May 2, 2008 at 8:07pm, signaling a new phase of accountability, responsibility and hard work. As a Saturn-ruled native (Capricorn), I am no stranger to the lessons Saturn is trying to impart and the effects of Saturn Return. The effects of Saturn in Retrograde motion may have been hard felt by many in the past few months pertaining to work routine, health-related issues and daily tasks.

Since Saturn is the planet of trials and tribulations, it limits what one does by acting as a resistance against his or her best efforts. Saturn in Virgo is probably one of the easier Saturn influences to work with, since the planet feels relatively at ease in the Earth signs, being the ruling planet of Capricorn (the third Earth sign in the zodiac wheel). The element of Earth is naturally associated with the manifestation of results in the physical world and mastering of the material realm of things.

Virgo is the sign of service and work-related issues, of health concerns and discrimination in daily tasks, routine and schedule. It is also symbolic of the purification process, of discernment and making decisions based on sound logical thought processes and rationalization.

When Saturn meets Virgo, there is often a crisis revolving around issues pertaining to scheduling and day-to-day details. Neurosis seems to accompany this placement as one gets buried under piles of responsibilities. Nitty-gritty details can show up in one’s life and manifest themselves as imperfections. The propensity towards workaholism is real here, as there is a deep urge to serve others and prove oneself useful in work-related issues.

Nevertheless, if you were born with Saturn in Virgo (i.e. in the midst of your first or second Saturn Return now), this will be an eventually more significant period for you. You will probably feel a great urge to retreat from the crowd and hibernate in your cave of choice now. The question of what it truly means to be of service may hit you hard at this time - what about this deeper need to serve YOURSELF? Are you taking enough time out to recharge internally, feeling alone rather than lonely?

Saturn in Virgo generally encourages everyone to work on simplicity in all areas of life and take silent retreats whenever possible. If there are problems regarding work scheduling and routine, it is advisable to take up some courses dealing with organization and time management. Of course, it is imperative for all to clean up and organize all aspects of life by eliminating workaholic tendencies and getting a consistent daily schedule.

If you listen hard to the messages that Saturn in Virgo is trying to impart to you, you will undoubtedly observe a feeling of wholesomeness arising in you. By going through a period of detoxification from worry, obsessiveness and perfectionist tendencies, Saturn will bring you closer to simplicity, humility, service and integration. Work becomes a representation of the inner spiritual balance of your psyche, instead of a heavy self-inflicted responsibility. Despite inner chaos of the mind appearing in the areas of work and health, there is immense potential to get in touch with the most basic of needs - the need to take care of your inner being first

People born between December 22nd and January 20th, have the Astrology sun sign of Capricorn the Goat. If you’re a Capricorn, you probably have some idea of what your Horoscope says about you. But, you probably don’t know that there are certain days of every month that will bring you good fortune. These days are lucky for you just because of your sun sign.

Lucky Calendar Days for Capricorns

When determining an astrology signs lucky days from Numerology, we look at the combination of two numbers, the celestial number of the sun sign, and the numerology value for the ruling planet of that sun sign. For Capricorn, these values are (8) for the astrology sign, and (3) for Venus, the ruling planet of Capricorn. Using fadic addition from Numerology, we take the sum of these two numbers, (8 + 3 = 11), and then reduce it to a single digit by adding the digits together producing (2).

How do the various zodiac signs behave when in love? Traditional astrology believes that individuals born under the same zodiac sign show certain similar traits in general and the area of romantic relationships is no exception. This is due to the position of the Sun, representing our central life force, at the time of our birth which influences our life goals, life goals and working mechanisms. In the first part of this series (total of 3), I shall look at how the first quadrant of the Zodiac behave when in love - Aries, Taurus, Gemini & Cancer.

ARIES: As the first sign of the zodiac, initiation is your forte when it comes to having your sights set on someone who has captured your attention. This type of impulsiveness is typical of the feeling masculine types, who have a difficult time differentiating between love and passion. What Aries desire most is to experience life dramatically, to be surprised and intrigued repeatedly. Once the object of your affections has been captured, your interest wanes and you’re off for your next conquest. This self-indulgent attitude and lack of awareness must be counteracted before you can hope to establish any successful relationships with others. Instead of viewing love as a personal, ego-gratifying conquest, you have to take into consideration the needs and feelings of those others involved as well.

TAURUS: As a sensual Earth sign, you want your relationships to be long-lasting and real. The challenge for you is in dealing with the consequences when things don’t turn out the way you want them to. Like the proverbial Bull, you tend to doggedly dig your heels into the ground and refuse to budge when you meet any form of resistance, especially those that present a threat to your emotional security. When things don’t pan out the way you want they to be, you have great difficulty in facing up to the facts and spiral into feelings of rejection and lack of self-confidence. Instead of realizing that the relationship contains real flaws and moving on to another that is more beneficial for you, you tend to stubbornly resist. This deep inner fear of loss is a recurring theme in your life that has to be dealt with.

GEMINI: As a Mercury-ruled native, communication is second nature to you and you naturally gravitate towards social situations and people who are able to stimulate you intellectually. You love the idea of love and are always looking for a relationship, perhaps to find your ‘lost twin’ to complete you at some subconscious level. Being a thinker sign of the highest order, there is a tendency to live in the head and ignore the feeling part of you. If you choose to experience life only through superficial fun, you are likely to become emotionally fragmented and overwhelmed sooner or later. Eventually, you come to realize that scattering your energies in several directions doesn’t provide you with the depth of emotional connection that you would like to forge with a partner.

CANCER: Being one ruled by the Moon, you are naturally tied to family, tradition, nostalgia and the past. Being a deep feeling sign, emotional awareness and sensitivity are qualities innate in you and you were born intuitive. Your desire to build things comfortable, lasting and safe is admirable and makes you a stable and loyal partner. When it comes to love, ironically you throw caution to the wind. Once you’re in a relationship however, your tendency is to stay committed to the point of being self-sacrificial. When your fluctuating moods take over you, an overwhelming feeling of helplessness causes you to withdraw without a word, which can leave your partner feeling rejected and confused. The tendency to allow irrational fears and doubts to take over has to be counteracted.

How do the various zodiac signs behave when they are in love? In the second part of this 3-part series, I shall look at the second quadrant of the Zodiac - Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio - and the characteristics and mannerisms which they portray when in love.

LEO: As a Sun-ruled native, you naturally gravitate towards the spotlight, where you love to soak up the attention and accolades given by others. Being a feeler sign that rules the heart, you are always craving for love in your life. Although you take love seriously, there is often an element of possessiveness involved in your giving. There is a tendency to be too caught up in your own romantic ideals which ultimately do not measure up to your expectations in reality. When things don’t go your way, you are prone to temper outbursts and attention-seeking tactics. The greatest challenge is for you to move past your self-centered view and focus on the needs of your partner as well.

VIRGO: Though you are discriminating by nature, Virgo is a sign of change and process and your love for editing, change and analyzing can be upsetting to your partner without you being aware of it. The tendency to live primarily in your heart can make you cut off from your emotions. The tendency to vacillate by going back and forth in matters of the heart is emotionally draining. It disconnects you from the joy that can arise when you give in your heart’s desires. With your innate penchant for analyzing, categorizing and putting everything into order, you can be continually searching for the ‘perfect’ mate without success. Learning to accept the feeling part of yourself and giving up on the self-sabotage tendency to resist joy have to be acknowledged first.

LIBRA: Your innate sense of fairness and balance creates much harmony in your relationships as you dislike unpleasant things and avoid confrontation at all costs. The problem arises when you get caught up in your romantic ideals and fantasy which hardly match up to reality in the end. When you project your expectations onto your partner, this eventually churns out disappointing results as it is a form of disillusion in the first place. There is a tendency to vacillate, hide out in the head and evade or hold back emotionally when you are confronted with something you dislike. When you are able to make sound decisions based on reality instead of romantic ideals, you will be able to attract someone with whom you can forge a real long-lasting bond.

SCORPIO: When committed in a relationship, what you really want is to combine emotional and sexual love in a soulful bonding. As much as you are capable of extreme self-sacrifice for those you love, your tendency to go to extremes must be counteracted or you’d end up in a self-destructive mode, losing those whom you love most. You have a penchant for spotting and zeroing in on your partner’s vulnerability. Control methods like this are destructive to your relationships. Instead of competing to gain an upper hand in the relationship, you must give both parties space so that you can come together as distinct individuals.

How do the various zodiac signs behave when in love? In this last part of the series, I shall look at how the third and last quadrant of the zodiac - Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces - behave in romantic relationships.

SAGITTARIUS: Relationships are important to you and you know how to take risks in love. Nevertheless, you put so much emphasis on personal freedom that you are often afraid of commitment. Your wandering mind is always fixated on the quest for self-knowledge and new ideologies. The problem arises when you enthusiasm starts off a relationship with a bang, which then fizzles into ashes shortly after. As long as you engage in behavior that only feeds the ego with your eyes fixed solely on the future, you can cut off potential partners in your life without you being aware of it. It is imperative for you to learn that joy comes from within, the Soul, contrary to finding it in some distant country or philosophy.

CAPRICORN: You also have a reserved manner and aloof demeanor that could prevent others from getting close to you. The truth is, it takes a lot for you to let down your guard as you don’t trust easily and once you form a bond with someone, your controlling nature wants it to last forever. The problem arises when you confuse the feeling with the material realm. The challenge for you is to make a conscious effort to get in touch with your emotions instead of analyzing things through the head. By releasing the need to control the outcome of a situation and getting more in touch with your innermost feelings, you are able to focus in the present and make sound judgments.

AQUARIUS: Because yours is a group-oriented sign, the attitude you adopt in life, including those towards your relationships, is highly impersonal. It is not easy for you to get close to others as you do not take big risks in relationships. Your impersonal and detached style can cause much confusion for your partners in the form of unpredictability and erratic behavior. You have to allow yourself the time you need to process your thoughts without pushing others away so abruptly. In finding ways to connect yourself to the guidance of the heart, your partner will not feel so neglected and unappreciated. As the sign which rules originality and humanitarianism, you are capable of communicating to your partner with respect and truth.

PISCES: You are innately in touch with the subconscious part of your psyche and are attuned to the spiritual dimension of life. Living in a world of physical and psychic sensuality, you are often unable to distinguish between illusion and reality. Your emotions can color your impressions as you often see only what you want to see. Being so dreamy and a romantic at heart, you are in love with the notion of love and easily gravitate towards relationships. However, without touching base with reality, you are prone to choosing partners who aren’t right for you. Fantasy can only take you so far before reality caves in. With an innate fear of rejection in your subconscious, you must keep track of what is going on in reality.
