Astrology Has Its Roots 10,000 Years Ago

By Clive Daniels


Such pretty cards you would think, just like playing a game of Happy Families; but wait, there's more to those cards than meets the eye. Those are Tarot cards and those pretty pictures are supposed to fore tell our future. Chinese astrologers who use tarot cards to read the future have learnt the art of doing so and are also very experienced. A tarot card reader should also have the inborn ability to do it meaning he should have the inbuilt instinct of the fortune teller and thereafter learn the meaning of each card before interpreting what it says about any individual. Chinese astrologers who read the animal signs on the tarot cards practice the art for several years before they become experts at it.

The temperaments are represented by the 12 animals who, according to legend, answered to the request of the Lord Buddha for advice concerning the question of living. The first to come was the rat. Following behind him were the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. In that order, the animals are designated for each 12-year cycle. An individual may therefore be a water dragon, a metal dragon or as people born in 2010 are, a metal tiger. In this regard, people born in the current year, 2010 are all metal temperaments, very forceful and very incisive personalities with a tendency to quick arousal.

In some strange way, if you look up your animal sign in Chinese Astrology, you will find a correlation between the traits of your animal avatar and your own personality. Such an insight leads to a better understanding of the inner workings of your mind. And such an understanding can eventually lead to enlightenment so that you know how and when to address the concern for individual and interpersonal fulfillment that is everyone's goal in life.

Funnily enough, this aspect of compatibility is at most times not seen in the family unit. We are all familiar with the saying that you can choose your friends, but not your family members and relatives. How true this is we all know through experience. This is one area where Chinese astrology signs are in question because most family units are not compatible even though the match making has been done after going through all the traditional methods of matching the zodiac signs and other elements of the couple. In fact, it's not wrong to say that even among astrologers, this aspect has been subject to much debate.

Before you start the readings, you should meditate and have a positive attitude when you prepare the list of questions to be asked. Say a prayer asking for divine guidance and repeat to yourself that "what I'm going to hear is the truth" In like manner, once you have finished reading the Tarot cards, you give thanks for guiding you towards the truth and sign off from the session and get yourself transported back to the real world. Once you have learnt the correct art of tarot card reading, you will soon learn the hang of it and have the confidence to carry out any session the same way the Chinese astrologers and other psychic reading professionals do it.
