Came across an interesting article in Cleo magazine about astrology for the new year, and since it is nearing the end of 2008, I thought it would be fun to see what's in stored for me in 2009. I know many would scoff at the idea of believing in astrology, & perhaps even be cavalier about it, but just for fun, I've decided to share my forecast and maybe arouse your curiousity so you would read up on your own...
Part I: My favourite - Reading between the lines... (I've scanned in my own hand as good measure and credibility)
1: The lines on the middle joint of my thumb forms a perfect eye as seen, thus, my future husband would be an eye candy (a.k.a. tall, dark, handsome & totally irresistible) ...I'm not particular, just bring me Elvin Ng! Now!
2: The heart line. Mine is smooth and not chain-like which means my head rules my heart, and I'm in control of my emotions when it comes to the affairs of the heart. Very true, since I don't trust or fall in love with people easily. Might be lost in the moment initially, but I'll come round. Perhaps my parent's less than savoury marriage made me a lil' guarded, perhaps it takes very little for me to feel put off or disgusted by certain actions or words, or perhaps I haven't found the person who could blow me away (a very hard task as I seriously doubt anyone has any real patience for my idiosyncrasies).
Also, my heart line ends before the mount of Saturn (S) below my middle finger (J is jupiter), which means I'm more concerned about myself than my partner...probably true too. Shite. Lol. Perhaps it's the bias parenting I've received... Mum adopts a detached parenting style (maybe because she had no time to juggle both work and the 3 of us), never questioning our actions or getting overly concerned with how we were turning out. I could disappear for days and she would not even notice (she just thought I came back after she slept and went out before she woke. Serious.) She's simply nonchalant. Silent even. The only time she really yelled her head off was when she found out I had a tattoo and tattooed people made her very uncomfortable (I've since acquired 2 more and she was surprisingly tranquil, I have an inkling that she's using reverse psychology to prevent me from having more). As a result, I do not like to explain my actions to others and I like to be left alone when I want to. It's true in a sense that I don't like people to order me around or teach me how to live my life. When people expects me to do A, I'll do B deliberately just to oppose them...I also don't offer any excuses for axe-ing out or ignoring people, I do that spontaneously, mostly due to reasons unclear even to myself...I'm aberant in this way. But of cos I have a healthy number of people I really care for and I'm absolutely steadfast about being there for them (& I just spontaneously do not act bastardly to them)
3: The lines at this section indicate how many times I would fall in love with someone or the number of relationships. From the looks of it I have 1 deep line and 2 faint ones. Hmm...I have only ever loved 1 person so far (waste of my 10 years), and feel infactuation towards several others (including Keanu, Hugh, Elvin, Johnny, Tom, Ping Hui...opps mostly celebs). Yaya said she doubt that my 1 deep line is he-whom-I-wasted-10-years-for though I insist he is. She said the deep line person hasn't appeared, which on afterthought, was quite comforting somehow.
4: Lower section of my finger. It looks slight plumper than the rest of my finger. This means my partner is in luck as I'm a sensuous lover who thrives best in close physical relationships. LOL. Yet to find out. Tsk tsk.
Part II: The Numbers Game
I'm born on the 20th Oct and after adding 20 + 10 + 2009, I'll have 2039 and then 2 + 3 + 9 = 14 and then 1 + 4 = 5
5 tells me that I'll be travelling for work and would be meeting new people and having many social activities. It also says that 2009 would be a year of experience and freedom. Wow!!!...spot on, since I'm leaving for my Sweden exchange soon for 6 months. But it also says I might be tempted by the desires of the flesh, so I must tread carefully! Omg...hahaha. Rendezvous with the hot swedish guy! LOL!!! I welcome it! Who says I need to tread carefully??!! After all, sometimes it's more exciting to live life on the edge!
Part III: Cards and such
I picked the Fool tarot card, which was super accurate as well. Says that my common ailments relate to those of the ankle and knees (I had sprained both my ankles very badly before) that yoga and healthy food would do me good. It also says my health is likely to improve as I'm always researching on ways to help myself. True as well cos I practice yoga regularly and I've been exercising at least 6 hours a week.
Though many take astrology at face-value, I'll like to think that it lets us understand more about ourselves & perhaps offer us hope during certain times, so, aren't you curious to find out more too?
