Diet Horoscope - An Easy Diet Plan By Zodiac Signs Author: Elaine Fung Diet Weight Loss program which Use Horoscope Zodiac Signs to Tell the Best Times to Lose the Most Weight with the Least Effort Astrologers themselves found that the planets, sun and moon exert certain physical stresses on the earth. The effects of these stresses manifest themselves in weather patterns, planet and animal behavior, and most notably, in ocean tides. Astrology is the reading if your horoscope-the map of the planets at the time of your birth. Like any map, astrology can give you your boundaries and the obstacles you will encounter-dieting, as well as in life. It will also show you how to use your cosmic energy by tapping into your strengths, and even your weaknesses, to overcome a certain obstacle-like being overweight. Since the earth is constantly moving, nothing (including you) stays the same. To diet successfully, you must find out what your givens are -where the sun was in your chart when you were born, what horoscope zodiac sign was on the horizon (your rising sign), and the placement of the planets at the moment of your birth. The placement of your sun tells how you perceive the world and what motivates you. Your rising sign tells how the world perceives you. The placement of your moon reveals how you interpret this information. Most diet weight loss program limit your intake of all the things you love to eat, sometimes they do away with them, altogether. Knowing that you must give up these foods, and accepting it, are two very different things. If you cannot live without coffee with cream and sugar, black coffee may not get you through even the first day of your diet weight loss program. Many of us love and depend on certain foods, and the prospect of giving them up forever-or at least for the next ten to twenty pounds-may send us into fits of depression, or worse, into giving up the diet weight loss program completely. By recognizing the eating and personality traits for each horoscope zodiac sign, you can eliminate this formidable barrier to successful dieting forever. When you learn what your givens are, you can begin to work with them and not against them. For instance, the fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) have less trouble dieting than any other horoscope zodiac signs, since their bodies burn up calories most efficiently. Their diets are based on carbohydrate counting because their weakness stems from quantity: they will try to consume much more than they actually need, and they like foods with poor nutritional value. Their diets are based on the motto, Eat like a queen in the morning, like a prince in the afternoon and like a beggar in the evening. You might start your diet whenever the spirit-or the necessity-moves you. But remember that you will not see the dramatic results you crave unless you diet during the correct astrological cycles for your horoscope zodiac sign. The secret is timing. For centuries astrologers and farmers have known that the sun affects the plumpness of fruits and vegetables. Now astrologers noted it also affects the weight of people. The earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, have a harder time losing weight because they let themselves gain weight for a long time before going on a diet weight loss program. The air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, have little trouble losing weight because they have so much nervous energy. They tend to go on way-out fad diets, however, and thats a weakness. They need to keep a diary of everything they eat in order to benefit from a diet weight loss program. The water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, gain and lose weight at a phenomenal rate because most of their problem is not fat, but water weight. Before you begin complete these four preliminary steps: Step one: Self Evaluation. If you are reading this article, you want to lose weight. You must set up a clear goal that how much weight you want to lose. Step Two: Banish Guilt. Realize there are times when you will find it hard to lose weight. If you dont lose weight at these times, dont be hard on yourself. Think of those times when you have been bursting with willpower; then think of the other times when you would have killed for a cracker. We have all had times when we can seem to eat anything and still lose weight. Then there are times when you stick religiously to diet and gain weight despite your effort. Knowing your astrological cycles will help prepare you for those times. Step Three: Timing is everything Use your horoscope zodiac sign and learn to do the right thing, at the right place, at the right time. Step Four: Know Yourself. Everyone has a different reason for being overweight. Study your likes and dislikes. Get to know yourself. It can help you explore your astrological map, but only you can find the most direct route to your goal. About the Author: Elaine Fung, Horoscopes & Chinese Astrology Specialist

Chinese Astrology Forecast for Global Issues in 2007 Author: Elaine Fung 2007 is a year with countless gossips and arguments. There are dispute everywhere, on every level. The people have their own fights and the nature has its own conflicts. The trigram that represents the worlds luck in 2007 is Xian. The Xian trigram represents the communion between the two genders and the connection between the heaven and earth. On the up side, it means understanding. On the down side, it may turn into arguments related to romantic affairs. The trigram has the change on its fourth stroke, meaning the imbalance of Yin and Yang energy. Thats why the world is filled with arguments and gossips. The fourth stroke is also where human stands according to legends. That explains why most important fights and disputes happen between human beings not nations. Communication could make people feel good if its not forced upon those concerned. Imposed mandatory communication is horrifying and repulsive. The arguments among human tend to happen behind closed doors. For instance, the U.S., China and even a small piece of land like Macau would have to deal with their internal conflicts. Their people would keep arguing on and on. The Xian trigram just gives a general impression of the state of matters, without revealing the details. Yet, more details are disclosed by its subsidiary trigram Xiao Guo, the fifth stroke of which says, Overcast without rain; clouds from the Western outskirt; crisis of the new sovereign just like an animal caught in its cave. From a pessimistic point of view, the text can be interpreted as a major incident is in the making. No matter how hard someone tries to hide, he/she would still be discovered by those strong and powerful. This is especially for those countries which seal themselves completely from the rest of the world; and those which havent been recognized internationally. Those internationally wanted by the police, because of criminal offences, political issues and terrorism, would be arrested in 2007. Certain countries or regions would also be threatened by external forces. On the other hand, certain objects or people that have long been forgotten; and those items with profound historical significance would be prioritized once again this year. In terms of global economy, those less affluent countries would see more resources and national growth in 2007. Finally, accidents are likely to occur to structures or geographic formations situated on great height, such as satellites, mountains, houses or bridges. What is Chinese astrology? Chinese Astrology is one of the most ancient philosophies still in existence today. The Chinese Astrology uses the Chinese calendar, which was invented in the 27-22 century B.C. by Emperor Yellow or known as Yellow Lord (Huangdi). In ancient China and up till today, Astrology has been used to predict what happens to countries, the outcome of wars; weather of the year; economic trends, fortune of people and much more. One complete cycle of the zodiac takes 60 years, which composes the arrangement of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. The year 2000 marks the 17th year in the 78th cycle. The animals signs are commonly known because of the legend of the Jade emperor summon the 12 animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig ) for a race. However, the configurations of the heavenly stems and earthly branches are much more important for astrology. About the Author: Elaine Feng, a specialist in Horoscopes & Chinese astrology

Do you believe in astrology? Author: Luc De Jaeger Whenever people talk about astrology the question of 'a belief' arises. Its as if the human mindset instinctively associates astrology with 'a belief.' Whenever people ask me if I believe in astrology, I respond to the question with another question: 'What is a belief?' and I give them my answer right away. A belief is everything you have not touched, not seen, not heard, not smelled, everything you have not lived and not experienced, everything that has not become part of your own life and existence and that has not become part of your own reality. Its everything beyond your imagination, coming from another dimension you have not experienced yet, you are not aware of (yet) but that, nevertheless, exists somewhere for the ones who have experienced, researched or lived it. In the world of the elephant, goldfish dont exist, even if they do exist in our own (human) reality. They are just part of another reality that we, human beings are able to live and experience. But not the elephants. Its so difficult for so many people to live in reality, to be aware of other dimensions. Instead of judging and questioning whos right or wrong, they would better try to know more about it, the pros and the cons, the way it works or does not work and when it works or does not. THAT would bring awareness to another dimension and bring far more insight. It would raise human consciousness; something our world needs so deeply. Some medical doctors 'believe' in natural healing, others only 'believe' in high-tec solutions and others only 'believe' in drugs. It depends on their mindset, experience and own reality. Some astrologers only believe in the 'ancient' deterministic schools, some others rely on psychological feelings and free will and yet others are more into the influence of the Asteroids. It all depends on their mindset and experience. Saying that astrology is a 'belief' is judging astrology without having experienced or researched it. Its up to you to raise your consciousness and awareness by doing your own research -- with respect to all topics and events in life. And if you want to research astrology, be sure to research and judge 'astrology' and not the astrologer! About the Author: Luc De Jaeger is a jurist and astrologer, living in Belgium.
