Iran's fortune tellers | Cover Story | Reuters:

"TEHRAN (Reuters Life!) - Clerics in the Islamic Republic of Iran frown on the practice, but Nazanin says she has more customers than ever wanting their fortunes told.

Sitting behind a computer in her Tehran apartment, she predicts the future based on her knowledge of 'jyotish' -- the science of light -- a practice related to astrology which she said is thought to have originated in ancient Persia."

Reading for a July 13th Female

2007-07-13T22:58:00.000-04:00

This is a reading for a 32 year old female born on July 13th (m.q.)
Happy Birthday to you :)
The QUEEN OF CUPS symbolizes a woman born to a Water Sign (Pisces/Cancer/Scorpio).

The Queen of Cups sits besides a placid, sparkling lake or it could be at the ocean's edge at a low to medium tide.
Different tarot decks depict a card in different ways (that's one thing that makes the card decks fascinating to collectors). In some decks, this card will suggest that the moon is the sole luminary; such a suggestion would be in accord with Arthur EdwardWaite's definition of the queen as being beautiful and dreamy.
The queen gazes upon the chalice she holds. Some decks portray her as holding a crystal chalice, this one appears to be golden.
Getting back to the reading for this querent (m.q.), the Moon is the ruler of the Cancer Zodiac.
A Cancer woman has deep feelings and emotions and often is quite generous.
(m.q.), the moon controls your emotions as it does the tide (the ripples of the water in this card can suggest the tide). You are sensitive and perhaps have been hurt by a man in your past, but your creative spirit and intellect will help you overcome anything negative from the past.
The 3 of Cups symbolizes Mercury in Cancer which enables your imagination to reign in subtle ways.
Mercury is the planet that symbolizes communication. A project you are working on will have a good outcome: this could be work related or this could relate to a volunteer activity you are involved in (Cancer generosity manifested). This will make you feel good about yourself and will create confidence (Cancer women sometimes can be shy).
The KNIGHT OF CUPS rides a winged horse in some decks (in this deck the Knight's helmut has the wings of Mercury and shows the Knight on a gorgeous white stallion) and holds a golden chalice.
The confidence gained from the 3 of Cups shintes through you and prepares you to meet the Knight, most likely this will be a Scorpio male. Although Sir Scorpio Knight is aimiable and debonaire, bear in mind that he is quite determined, strong-willed and has a high sexual drive.
Approach this relationship gradually. Use some of that Cancer Moon mystery.
Your next card was the figure of STRENGTH UPSIDE-DOWN which suggests you just might lose your temper a little too easily (an obstacle in your relationships)

You also need better organization in your life.
The 4 OF SWORDS in some decks show the 4 swords placed in a PAX DEI (Peace of God) arrangement. I can't find a picture that captures this at the moment.

Waite, in his The Pictorial Guide to the Tarot describes this card as "The effigy of a Knight in the attitude of prayer, at full length upon his tomb and gives solitude and retreat as possible meanings. Not all 4 OF SWORDS are painted in the same way as in this deck. The problem with this card from Colman-Smith/Rider Waite is that the card scares some people and that feeling can block the reception to anything positive from this card. If the same card had been drawn from a different deck, you might be able to see how this card could be positive: there will be a refreshing pause in your life which will enable you to get yourself together. You need to patch things up with a relative to get your Karma back on the right path. After this, you will be receptive to a love aura.

It's 10 minutes to midnight where I am typing. Enjoy the last minutes of your birthday!

Reading for a 1st Decanate Libra Male

2007-07-12T22:14:00.000-04:00

This tarot card reading was done for a man born in the first week of October in 1969 (g.r.) .
Venus rules the first decanate of Libra. The King of Swords who holds a steel broadsword to command the lightning depicted in the background has been selected to represent you. You are logical and good judgment is one of your noticeable and admirable qualities. Venus in Libra creates initiative. The suit of SWORDS represents the three air signs of the zodiac and covers the intellectual aspects of our lives.

The second card in the Knight of Wands.
WANDS symbolize the career path. WANDS symbolize the three fire signs of the zodiac (LEO, ARIES, & SAGITTARIUS). Leo spans from July 23 through August 22; this card indicates that you will receive support from an unanticipated source either from a male with a fire sign [at any time within six months] or perhaps within that time period as indicated above. (the horse depicted in the card often [but not always] is an indicator for action occurring in an imminent time period).

The third card is STRENGTH

A beautiful woman draped in a rippling cream colored gown has the ability to stand beside and calm a lion (not an easy feat to accomplish!)-- you will have the ability to endure a hardship.
Serenity (as exemplified by STRENGTH) will require self-control. The card indicates that someone depends upon you or will depend upon you for support.

THE HERMIT APPEARED REVERSED (UPSIDE DOWN) in your reading as the fourth card.
Suspicion, doubt, and envy could get in the way of your Karma and/or a relationship (either romantic related or work related).

Your 5th card revealed was the 6 of CUPS
That's quite a lovely card to have as a last one in this reading: the card soothes and ties in everything in a comforting way. Your competence with inspire confidence. You will be given credit and your efforts will be acknowledged.

Karan Johar's a fortune-teller!

2007-07-10T22:22:00.000-04:00

It's not enough for Karan Johar to be an actor, writer, TV host, filmmaker, and brand sponsor, Karan is proud to have the powers of a soothsayer:

Yeah, his friends tell us that everytime Karan sees a film he passes a verdict (disclosed only to his close friends, of course) on whether the film will be a hit, a flop, not-so-hot, or not-so-cool. And more often than not, his predictions are right on target.
Recently, after watching Apne , he declared the film a hit in his own critics’ circle. And as it turns out, the Dharam-Sunny-Bobby starrer is doing exceedingly well. Wonder if KJ does the same for his own movies too. Not that he’s seen too many flops really!

Karan has the special Gemini gift of using communication that springs forth from his keen awareness of what's happening around him as a tool of prediction.
Let's see the shots he calls next...

"Restaurants Test Table Card Readers"

Eris to Trump Pluto? Will Eris Influence Astrological Readings?

2007-06-26T23:45:00.000-04:00

Current events are tough on astrologers. How should astrologers respond to articles such as this one: "Pluto moves farther down the chain of planets"?

The former ninth planet was demoted yet again Thursday when scientists determined it no longer even reigns as king of the dwarf planets, a sub-class astronomers relegated Pluto to last summer after deeming it unworthy of standing alongside Earth, Jupiter and other larger bodies.

The bigger dwarf planet, Eris, is 27 percent more massive than Pluto, California Institute of Technology scientists reported in the journal Science.

So what are the implications of the astrological influences of Pluto?
After all, Pluto is the primary ruler of the astrological sign Scorpio.
Pluto is the co-ruler of Aries and is exalted in Leo.

No wonder the International Astronomical Union voiced concern last summer in Prague.

The wet planet: There was life on Mars (probably)

2007-06-21T02:01:00.000-04:00

The wet planet: There was life on Mars (probably)

Scientists now say that an ocean several miles deep once covered a third of the surface of the planet, enough water to support the origin and evolution of life. The red planet, they said, had once been a deep blue, just like Earth.

Forget the panic that ensued after Orson Welles's famous radio broadcast of H G Wells' classic, The War of the Worlds, no one is worried by the prospect of a Martian attack but what people should worry about is that Mars might have been like the earth in terms of the water supply.

The true nature of Mars, however, emerged in the late 1960s when the Mariner space missions paid the first visits to Earth's smaller neighbour. Mars turned out to be heavily cratered, dotted with extinct volcanoes, colder than Antarctica and, crucially, drier than the Atacama desert - the driest place on Earth.

Mars was a dead place, a desiccated wasteland sterilised by harsh solar radiation...

Let's hope that Earth will not be subjected to a radiation (nuclear or otherwise) that would render desolation.

Querent BEWARE! Fortune-Teller Gets 18 Months For Tricking Clients

2007-06-19T20:45:00.000-04:00

The fraud of some gives all the other fortunetellers and tarot readers a bad name.
The "you're cursed because of the broken egg trick" is not a new con.

Fortune-Teller Gets 18 Months For Tricking Clients

(AP) ROCKVILLE, Md. "A fortune-teller now sees her future -- and it involves 18 months behind bars.

Grace Uwanawich, also known as 'Mrs. Grace,' was sentenced this week in Maryland after admitting that she defrauded clients by convincing them to hand over tens of thousands of dollars so that she could crush destructive curses.

'This is beyond fortune-telling for entertainment purposes,' Montgomery Assistant State's Attorney Carol Crawford said Monday. She compared Uwanawich to a 'leech' who drained money from vulnerable middle-aged women.

Their relationship began at a shopping mall, when Uwanawich approached the woman, who was depressed, and handed her a flier promoting her psychic powers.

During meetings at Uwanawich's Chevy Chase apartment, the woman was told that she and her family had a curse..."

Just because the fortuneteller predicts a negative situation doesn't necessarily mean that the reading is fraudulent. Tarot can help people to get out of gordian knots in terms of decision planning but if the reader demands an exorbitant sum of money within a short time frame then watch out! This is probably a con artist, not an honest reader.

Grace Uwanawich had been arrested during the 1990s for similar scams. In this case she took from one woman "more than $160,000 in cash and property over the course of a year." Stop before you start with a situation like this!
Uwanawich maxed out the woman's credit cards and wiped out her bank account.

The minute the "fortuneteller" does the hairy spider in an egg trick or any egg trick, remember that's not reading cards, that's not crystal ball gazing or any other legitimate way of reading or "divining the future for entertainment"--get away from the con artist immediately!!!

A fortune teller predicted my lottery jackpot

Gee, fortunetellers are great! See the testimony for a prediction that came through:

A fortune teller predicted my lottery jackpot

A fortune teller predicted a "substantial" win for a couple who scooped more than £1.6 million in the National Lottery, the pair revealed today.
Janette Wright, 41, and husband Stephen, 48, from Bradford, won the £1,633,505 Lotto jackpot in the draw on Saturday.

Mrs Wright, a housing officer, said: "I had a tarot card reading about seven or eight years ago and the tarot reader told me one day I would win 'a substantial amount of money which will be shared'...

Good fortune for tellers approved

2007-06-19T20:28:00.000-04:00

SALISBURY — "The crystal ball and tarot cards may have showed the positive results for Nick Nicholas Tuesday after Wicomico County Attorney Ed Baker announced that there are no residency requirements for a fortune teller license that had initially barred him from starting a business in Hebron."

Nick had gotten the bump due to a 5 year residency requirement (he had only lived there a year). The attorney sought a waiver and the license is expected to go through.
