THE YEAR OF THE RAM or SHEEP
(The Chinese New Year)
The following is a short summary of how each eastern
animal sign will fare in this the year of the Ram, Sheep or
sometimes known as the year of the Goat.  This new
occidental year began on February 1st.
There is a quick reference chart so that you can determine
your Chinese astrological sign (if you don't already know it)
available in my newsletter archives at
http://www.Athamz.com/archives/march01.html and the
following is a precis of what you can expect in this, the year
of the Ram.  

   How the Various Signs Fare in the Year of the Sheep
                      by Theodora Lau
The Rat
This person finds that his or her finances recover and
there will likely be some career achievements.  But
plans cannot be realized without change or some small
upheavals.  Discovery of previously unseen opportunities
will lead to advantage.

The Ox
There won’t be much progress this year but there will
be good news that boosts confidence.  No serious illness
or quarrels and home life will be relatively peaceful.
Beware of any over optimism as this could lead to losses,
either financial or unspeakable.

The Tiger
This will be a good year, although whatever problems
will seem to be very time consuming.  Negotiations or
tension at home or work keep the Tiger from relaxing
and a vacation is in order, whether or not it is in the
budget.  There may be a loss of a personal belonging,
but overall it is a lucky year as there are no disasters
coming.

The Rabbit
This will be an excellent year with wonderful
achievements and plans progressing smoothly.  A
prosperous year, but strict attention must be paid to
details that could later cause trouble in a settlement.
No big problems at home or work.

The Dragon
There will only be moderate progress in terms of
finances and career.  Some health problems may flare
but family life will be quiet.  No upheavals or unwelcome
changes in environment are on the horizon.

The Snake
No great gains and no sizeable losses to be expected
this year.  Life will be calm and leisurely and take
advantage of this time to cultivate influential friends
who will benefit you later on.  Expect sad news or
minor inconveniences at home.

The Horse
This will be a moderate type of year, with changes
of residence or long trips indicated.  The good balances
out the bad this year and no serious problems or worries
affect the Horse.

The Sheep
This won’t be such a great year for the Sheep.
Things will start out bright with lots of plans or invitations
then problems or complications will pop up that are
noticeably limiting.  This year will be a time to trim
expectations and be practical.

The Monkey
An involved and busy year, where it will be easy to
make money but profits will be reduced by unexpected
expenses.  Meeting new and beneficial associates will
generate a need to entertain and travel more than usual.
A minor health upset or unhappiness at home is indicated.
The Monkey needs to be secretive so that others won’t
be able to pry information from him or her.

The Rooster
This is a good safe year for the Rooster with no
upheavals and good tidings.  Lost ground will be
regained and career advancement is indicated.
Troubles abound but they don’t affect the Rooster
directly.  A quieter and more settled life leads to
relaxation and possibly a good vacation.

The Dog
Anxiety and worries will beset the Dog. Losses can
be prevented and differences resolved by the Dog
holding his or her tongue and refusing to loose his/her
temper.  This is a year for patience and conservatism.
This is in general a moderate year.

The Boar
Only a fair year in that the financial position will be
at a standstill or a loss.  No serious health problems
or big upheavals.  Gains will be in the form of
knowledge, training or career development.  This
year is a time to plan for the future and seek out new
opportunities to explore.

Book Review
        The Field, by Lynne McTaggart
Harper Collins Publishers - ISBN 0-06-019300-X
A friend of mine heard about this book and its description
fascinated me, so I immediately ordered it.  This well-
known and credible investigative journalist delves into the
anomalies encountered in scientific research, alternative
medical treatments, psychic phenomena and simple faith.
You may remember studying science or physics in school,
and the teacher trying to explain to you that light was both
waves and particles.  That was sort of over my head at
the time.  According to documented scientific studies of
the past decades, light is a wave until someone or
something observes it in a certain state, and then its
"pinned down" position is particulate.  So when God said,
"Let there be light", the universe was born because it
could be observed.
Out in the vacuum of space, aside from the planets,
stars, asteroids and comets, that vacuum is not empty.
It is full of electrons et al that are all vibrating like waves,
even in the absolute zero cold temperatures.  This
discovery has recently amazed scientists who now seem
to be adopting the name "Zero Point Field" (ZPF) in
order to label the stuff in the void.
(Those who have formerly been named quacks also
called this "ether" and various other designations.)
Ms. McTaggart then takes us from the quantum
physics discussion over to what medical researchers
are discovering about quantum effects in their biology
research.  Hard to believe but our bodies emit light, and
so does vegetable matter.
Now you needn't expect to glow in the dark, but
sensitive instruments can determine wellness or make
diagnoses based on what particular light the cells emit.
And more astounding, correcting the frequency of the
light emitted sometimes cures the disease, even cancer.
More amazing is that cells resonate or vibrate in a
pattern that can be translated auditorially and also
respond by vibrating in synch with a healthier sound
being played back to them.
Water being a miracle substance, on this our watery
earth, can form templates of needed curative substances
when molecules are completely diluted out of the solution,
which validates the centuries old argument about
homeopathic medical remedies and which discovery is
beginning to be tested with vaccines.
This all connects to the Zero Point Field, or in other
words quantum vibrations of energy or light being
aligned to work for our health or against it.
Next she talks about faith healers and those who pray
for someone’s recovery.  Yes, this positive faith and
desire does work.  (They have done control studies on
HIV patients about this.)  It didn't matter if your intent to
cure was through Reiki, Qi Gong or Christian prayer - it
works!  The person intending the healing is sending out
quantum energy with the desire to help the recipient
being targeted to arrange his or her cells to settle into a
healthier pattern.
Naturally this leads to thoughts about psychic telepathy.
The quantum (ZPF) field that surrounds us all sends or
receives thoughts in this extra sensory fashion,
particularly when one has trained their mind to be
receptive to and believe that such communication works.  
This led to doing studies on nonbelievers without any
type of training, and yes there is a racial consciousness
that can be measured through fluctuations in the Zero
Point Field (aka the quantum field) that is everywhere.
This global field (ZPF) showed remarkable disturbances
when O.J. Simpson was acquitted and even greater ones
on 9/11/01.   So those electrons that are everywhere, as
energy (matter) or light, carry information, even memory
from different generations (time periods), that a being can
tap into and use when required.  Now I finally understand
why those Monarch butterflies can always find the same
trees upon which to roost, even though they are a younger
generation and their predecessors are long dead.
Stephen Hawking awakened us all with his ideas in "A
Brief History of Time", but Lynne McTaggart has pulled
together information from pockets of researchers around
the world that will be changing our expectations and
understanding of science and ourselves.
This book is a must read for anyone looking for a
reasonable explanation for psychic abilities and events.

             The Humour Offering
Six months after the waiter died, his widow went to see
a medium, who promised she would contact the dead
man.  During the seance, the widow was sure she saw
her husband standing in the corner, dressed in his waiter's
outfit.  "Arnold!" she cried. "Come closer and speak to
me!"  A hoarse voice from the corner wailed, "I can't.
It's not my table."

                        My FAQ 
Hello,
I'm really not sure if you'll be able to help me at all. But
I feel that I need to talk to some one about this and if you
could offer me any answers or insights I would greatly
appreciate it. If you can't, I understand and apologize for
wasting your time...
All my life (or as far as I can remember) I've had a bit of
a psychic side. For years it was actually frightening for me
because I did not understand what was going on with me.
But anyway, this is something I just can't figure out. I've
been living in our home since November 2002. I live with
my husband (we were married in December). One night
last week we were sitting on the couches (he on the love
seat and I on the couch) and out of nowhere 3 pictures I
had hanging on the walls just fell off (they were just general
art, one of angels, and 2 that were "homemade" art projects).
One of them shattered the glass completely. For a while I
tried to think of any reason possible that these pictures could
fall. I couldn't find any. It was also strange because I have
several other pictures hanging on our walls and none of them
moved and these pictures weren't in a position where one
falling could cause a domino effect. This is the second time
in the past month that it's happened. Well that night I lay in
bed awake after my husband had gone to bed. For nearly
30 minutes I kept hearing foot steps in our hall way. They
were heavy and for some reason they just reminded me of
a man. At first I thought it was an intruder but there was
no one there and the house was locked. So then I continued
listening to those footsteps until I fell asleep. Then two or
three nights later my mom received a phone call. It was
from my place of employment. But this was an hour after
I'd left. No one there has her number so how they could've
called is beyond me. When she answered she heard music
like she was on hold. So she was terribly worried about me.
The NEXT night (before I found out she'd had a call from
my job) my grandmother called me. She asked if I had called
her and I hadn't and told her so. So the job's number was on
her cell phone. No one I know has access to that number.
Even I can't remember it. So how they both received calls
from my job 2 nights in a row when I surely didn't make
them is really beyond me. These things are starting to get
a little weird and I don't know what is going on. If there's
anyway that you can see anything please, please, please
share it with me. Thank you for your time. - Anna
Hello,
When a person is in their teens or early 20's after their
hormones awaken, it is as though their chakras or psychic
abilities also awaken. Before they gain an understanding
and control of this phenomena this energy can in a way
spill out of them causing a "poltergeist" type of effect.
That would explain the falling pictures and strange phone
calls. Psychic perceptions are also heightened and could
explain your hearing footsteps which probably originally
occurred where you heard them, but in a different time
period.
This opening of psychic awareness is like a tearing down
of the boundaries of our normal perceptions.
You have three choices here, either to try to repress this
energy, ignore it or redirect it. If you want all such "odd"
occurrences to stop, give yourself strong and repeated
suggestions that nothing weird is going to happen. If you
wish to try to channel this energy, I recommend beginning
with a very simple tool such as a pendulum to practice
your psychic skills.  It is also really important to begin a
journal, noting what you felt or predicted at times of
psychic events and leaving space for subsequent entries
in the journal at a later date to record what actually
transpired.

                      :::Just for Fun:::
       A Simple Divinatory Tool - The Pendulum
An easy tool to manufacture at home by which to start
developing or strengthening your psychic intuition is the
pendulum. The pendulum is considered to be the most
common psychic lever and it has been used since ancient
times. Its modern use can be traced to the early decades
of the last century when De Chevrul, a French psychologist
used it to probe the subconscious minds of his patients.
There is nothing particularly "spooky" about the pendulum.
It has been known for some time now that thoughts in the
subconscious mind affect the motor muscles. This effect,
called the Ideo Motor Response, usually consists of small
movements or shakes, that while meaningful, are too minute
to be observed directly. The pendulum, with its long thread
amplifies these movements enough to make them visible -
as changes in the swing of the pendulum bob.
According to conventional science, the subconscious mind
can be accessed using this device. It can swing in 4
directions, left to right, front to back, and in clockwise
or counterclockwise circles. These 4 movements can be used
to designate 4 different responses from the subconscious -
"Yes", "No", "No Answer Available Now" and "Question is
too Complex".
All you need is a piece of paper a pen and a pendulum. You
can make your pendulum using a string or thread (10 to 18
inches long) with a small weight attached at the end. A small
metal nut or bolt attached to the string will work just fine.
You need a weight so the pendulum can swing, but you don't
want it so heavy that it takes a strong gust of wind to move
it. Ask a question for which you know the yes or no answer
and observe the swing of your bob. Obviously that direction
designates the yes or no response. Or you can hold your
pendulum over a piece of paper with a line that is horizontal
and marked "YES" across the middle of the page and a
vertical line with the word "NO" down the middle of the page.
Lay the paper on a table and hold your pendulum by the end
of the thread so the weight is suspended over (but not touching)
the intersection of the two lines. Deliberately cause the
pendulum to swing in the "yes" direction. Say out loud, "This
is the direction in which I want the pendulum to swing when
the correct answer to any question I ask is yes." Then
deliberately cause the pendulum to swing in the "no" direction.
Say out loud, "This is the direction I want the pendulum to
swing when the correct answer to any question I ask is no."
Cause the pendulum to be still (not swaying). Hold the end of
the thread without moving your hand. Ask out loud any
question you wish that can be answered by either "yes" or
"no." Continue holding the thread very still. Soon the pendulum
will begin to swing all by itself, without your moving your hand.
If the pendulum swings in the direction of the "yes" line, "yes"
is the answer to your question. If it swings in the direction
of the "no" line, "no" is the answer to your question. If the
pendulum swings in a circle, your question either cannot be
answered at that time because the cosmic consciousness
may be deliberately withholding the answer from you, or you
have asked too complex a question; and the answer cannot
be given as a simple yes or no. You can over time assign the
clockwise and counter clockwise circular swings to the "no
answer now" versus the "too complicated" responses.
Whatever way you wish to determine the answer of your
pendulum doesn't matter, as long as you develop a system
that you stick with consistently through your efforts.
Pendulum divination is a lot of fun. Your psychic mind is
in action in this divination exercise. You may want to keep
a journal of the questions you asked it and then record what
actually evolved.  Have Fun!

                      Trivial Tidbit!
                            The Daffodil     
The Welsh believe it is lucky to find the first daffodil of
spring and that to do so will bring the finder more gold than
silver in the coming year.  It is important to NEVER take a
single daffodil into a home, always take a bunch, as a single
blossom invites misfortune to follow.

PASSION or PERIL - Net Romance?
From my perspective, when trying to provide advice to
the lovelorn, which is often what psychic reading
degenerates into, internet romance is a dangerous and
disappointing gambit.  Now that 40% of North
American homes have computers, I expect that in spite
of the horror stories that are circulating, people will still
be trying to find that "special" person from the comfort
of the chair in front of their PC.
Everyone seems pretty savvy about not giving out
personal information and being wary of philandering
hopefuls, BUT after conversing for months with
someone in text via chat rooms or e-mail, you do get a
sense of who that person is.  Usually the "who" is how
the person wants you to perceive them.  People in
general are good at "reading" what other people wish
for or wish to hear.  Many people are very good at
taking your ideas and reflecting them back to you as
though they are their own.  Of course you are going to
agree with them then!  Pictures are exchanged, because
that has become easy and cheap.  Nobody said it had to
be a picture of you at your current age either.
Eventually telephone numbers are exchanged.  Then the
text chats turn to real time phone calls, in spite of the cost,
because of course that nice guy is never conveniently
geographically located.  Instead of anticipating a cyber
meeting, the relationship grows to anticipating that phone
call.  If the conversation goes well, as in no in spouses
are answering the phone on the other end causing
complex excuse making, then the two decide to meet.
Often expensive and badly needed items arrive as gifts
as well!  Obviously the cost for all this is shared or the
more affluent party pays the shot.
Lets back up a bit here.  Say for example that the
couple has been conversing for 4 to 6 months, at that
point they are probably both in love with their own idea
or notion of the other person.  That notion has less to do
with reality than with their own wishful thinking.  They
have constructed an image of this romantic prospect that
will be difficult to revise or destroy.
So plans to meet are made and anticipated.  Anticipation
is one of the most intense emotional states of human
feeling.  By the time that boy meets that girl they are
both bursting with positive expectations.  They are both
completely on their best behavior, and they do have the
details of their previous exchanges by which to fuel the
conversation.  With such intense desires flowing through
their veins it is highly likely that the anticipated romantic
encounter will unfold pretty quickly.  And you betcha, if
they both have at least normal responses in that
department, "they are in love".
Here is where the psychic reader comes in.  Next step
in this net romance is obviously to see one another more
often, which means one or the other has to give up
established employment, residence and support
networks and relocate.  I respond to hundreds of such
queries each year, "is this going to work out?"
Even when things look good astrologically between
such a couple, the reality of 24/7 is quite a different
matter than joyously anticipated intermittent contact.
The things that other person didn't want you to know
about them finally surface.  Due to the intensity of the
anticipation, oftener than not completely incompatible
people are thinking of rearranging their lives for one
another.  100% for sure is that there will be
disappointments, because no one can live up to the
dream image that you construct for yourself of the
perfect partner.
My best advice here is to go back to the beginning.
Think about why someone is looking for love in
cyberspace rather than their own real world.  If they
are such a great guy or gal, what has isolated them
from the prospects in their area?  They isolated
themselves of course.  If someone can’t establish
good working relationships in their own real world, it
is going to be virtually impossible to establish a healthy
relationship with a cyber pal who suddenly is a reality
on their doorstep, expecting to be around for good.
More of my unsolicited advice: please don’t make
life-altering decisions based on cyber friendships or
romance.  If there is a difficulty with relationships
available in your daily life, a much wiser decision would
be to understand what is misfiring and work to correct
that glitch in how you are meeting or dealing with other
people in life.
Just my 2 cents, but honestly this advice could save
someone thousands of dollars.  Have fun with your cyber
friends, take them at face value, develop cyber support
networks, but remember your wishes are affecting your
perceptions when using the computer and for the sake
of your well being, don’t let your emotions flow through
a machine.
