What is Oriental Astrology? It is a science based on a twelve-year cycle as opposed to the twelve-month cycle of Western astrology. In Chinese Astrology the Sun and the Moon, the Yin and the Yang, play a major role. The Chinese calendar is based on a series of 5 twelve-year cycles. Each of the twelve Chinese years is governed by a symbolic animal for character, personality and destiny. Oriental Astrology has also used for thousands of years some of the planets that are known to Western Astrology plus ninety-one other stars, celestial bodies or constellations.

Thousands of Truth Explorers, like you, attest in their testimonials that the teachings they received through Oriental Astrology on this this ASTROMARC webpage have proved to be relevant and surprisingly accurate.

My humble opinion is that Chinese Astrology should be used
as a “tool” or if you prefer a “fast track donkey” on the Path to the Ultimate Truth. Feed the donkey with lots of patience, give it water
of wisdom, and it will get you to your ultimate destination; Happiness and Contentment, my most sincere wish to you all.
----MARC, the Happy Medium

PROVISO: Astrology works if you work to make it work.
Of course, nothing much will happen if you don't make it
happen. Truly confident people know how to move on and
find a happier side of Life. They believe nothing unless it
agrees with their own principles and basic common sense.
Then, they act on it and move forward!

FAVORABLE DATES: FEBRUARY 5 to 14; 16 to 22: 24 to 29
* People born on these dates will have a constructive year.

CHALLENGING DATES: FEBRUARY 15, 23
*People born on these dates will have a somewhat difficult year.

HAPPY WATER DRAGON NEW YEAR

ROCK BOTTOM: What does it all mean? Are there messages or hints to decode? There is no hidden meaning.
Focus on what is. You are about to hit rock bottom, Italian style. Don't go overboard. Don't panic. Do your best to stay afloat.

FORTUNE COOKIE: Happier days will soon be upon you, that’s what you want to read. Reorienting your Life, a conscious choice you must figure out now and decide during the next 2 weeks.

The month of FEBRUARY: Since truly confident people know how to make their own constructive breakthroughs, during FEBRUARY you are empowered to build your own emotional stability and financial security. However, that process takes time. Give it time!

SUGGESTIONS: Want to feel good? Volunteer some time to help mentally and physically challenged people and elderly folks. Listen to what is going on in the hearts and spirits of the friends you like most. Speak the language of your heart. Helping someone needy, a challenged person, has a big influence on your chances to access betterment. Nowhere is that more true than during this 4 day period!

ASTROLOGICALLY favored are the practical RATS who work in public relations, customer service, charitable organizations, volunteering, and philanthropy. These people will have a most constructive impact on their community. The rewards, personal satisfaction, will match their effort. Great!

NOW to FEBRUARY 2: Restlessness could get to you. It is good to do what you need to do to satisfy your needs, but resist an impulse to throw prudence to the winds. Don't go overboard. Do your best to stay afloat!

ATTENTION: Double (triple) check long distance travel reservations and verify their cancellation clauses (extreme weather conditions, huge storms).

Dear Friends,

This is the year of the WATER DRAGON.

During the year of the WATER DRAGON, many (not all) mentally alert, quick-witted, well organized, efficient, and persistent RAT
born people will succeed at balancing their work obligations
with their personal and family lives.

RELATIONSHIPS: During the year of the WATER DRAGON, many RATS (not all) without love partner could get involved in a new love affair with a truly alive, steadfast, and loving companion. Since True love calls forth the essence of Life itself, some RATS could experience additions to their family; children, grand-children. Finally, long distance travel is favorably aspected.  

FEBRUARY to MAY: A past relationship still engages you emotionally? Deal with what you don't want to face. This month is the ideal period to accept your part of responsibility for what happened in the past. What? You don’t feel at all responsible for the breakup? Well, it is up-to-you to turn the page (or not) and bring on a new chapter in your Life. Fact is that you don't really have a choice. Taking this crucial step will ease your exit from what was most probably an unsatisfactory relationship. Are you ready to experience the intimacy of a true partnership but with a different mate, a more acceptable and more compatible one? One who has the potential to shower you with attention and tons of affection without making you feel beholden, controlled and manipulated.

Late JUNE to late SEPTEMBER: There are a lot of changes going on during this period, mostly destabilizing ones. Intimate relationships might be crumbling and dissolving possibly due to conflict of personality (strong egos). Beware of getting involved in judgmental, religious or political argumentative conversation. Make sure you share secrets or confidential information with people who really deserve your TRUST. Let go of people who pretend to be supportive but are not. Manipulators who win your confidence only to drain you of your emotional energy (or funds) don’t really deserve your friendship.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER: Are you ready to experience real JOY (finally)? Why? General prospects for loving relationships and friendships are astrologically much brighter during OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, and DECEMBER. So, if you are willing and available,
if you have been without anyone for an extended period, someone who shares your values and meets your standards (cheerful, easygoing, and socially broad-minded) might come into your Life. Falling in love will make you smile. And, together both your lover and you will shine. You will look better, and feel better. So, enjoy that felling. Astrologically, RAT born people are most compatible with MONKEY, DRAGON, PIG, and OX born people.

WORK ASTRO-FACTS: Many RATS who emailed Astro-Psychic MARC for guidance are medical practitioners, nurses, providers, researchers, formative trade and craft teachers, career orientation specialists, and professional coaching trainers.

WORK: The year of the WATER DRAGON is a period of great progress with chances of promotions, transfers, and relocation. The RATS (not all) who sharpen their skills will be leading in an upward and forward direction. Their finances should gradually improve.

FEBRUARY-MARCH: Job security and monetary aspects could take center stage. However, these upsets might be a blessing in disguise especially if you focus on doing things more efficiently, getting better organized, setting priorities, and managing your time more effectively so that you can meet deadlines.

APRIL-MAY-JUNE: To live a more productive, develop an open but confidential businesslike relationship with networking groups.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER: Astrologically, expect lots of constructive development and some drastic changes (lover, employer, residential move). An important chapter of your life is coming to a turning point as long as you are prepared to turn the page, and move on. How? Meeting people with similar interests or needs and interpersonal communicating, building more meaningful connections, and promoting your talents and pursuing your ambitious plans should soon bring remarkable improvement to your lifestyle. So, do what matter most to you. And, do it now. Moving in the direction of your choice will surely contribute to your enjoyment of Life. Encouraging!

MONEY FEBRUARY-MARCH: Many aspects of your Life are getting back on track. Good Fortune seems to be returning to you. provided you make the most of your business/commercial administrative abilities. Indeed, major chapters will begin to work out as you intended about a year and a half ago if you remain committed to increasing cash flow and saving money.

MONEY APRIL-MAY: Financial security depends on perking up your survival skills. The way you deal with actual financial crisis will have a tremendous impact during the rest of 2012.

MONEY late JUNE to late SEPTEMBER: Some unexpected events (some of them tragic) might force you to reposition some of your objectives and find some drastic solution to survive financially. However, your lucky leap forward is still a long way from flattening out if you don't panic, use some rational thinking process, and become more short-term results oriented. Entirely up to you!

MONEY OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER: Times have never been better for stabilizing your occupational and financial affairs. Your key strategy might be to work in partnership with an expert whose valuable talents or resources complement your own skills. Many RATS might join trade associations and their local Chamber of Commerce.

WORLD TRAVEL: There could be long distance (overseas) travel
and lots of running around buying land and real estate as many
RATS (not all) will find 2012, the year of the WATER DRAGON,
to be more progressive and pleasant than 2011.

So, whether you want to strengthen your family Life, improve
your career, or take your physical energy to a new level, expect stunning results during the year of the WATER DRAGON!

ATTENTION: To accelerate the process of your Life getting back
on track, do some visualization exercises. Mentally see the objectives you want to materialize. Your next step is to clearly formulate and recite assertive affirmations of what you want to happen in your Life. If you consistently prove your total Trust towards the UNIVERSE, Life will reward you immensely. Trust Life!

AFFIRMATION: This is my year for progress and achievement.
I take advantage of opportunities as they arise. I live Life to the fullest. 

I wish you all a healthy, happy, prosperous 2012 filled with
true success to celebrate. --MARC, ASTRO-PSYCHIC

SUGGESTED MEDITATION: Inner peace.

1- One effective yet simple remedy to shield your home from large or tall objects is to plant trees or shrubs around your house.

2- Dying plants or trees should be removed from your yard immediately because of the bad FENG SHUI they create.

3- To circulate and spread luck and prosperity, please use plants and crystals to help chi flow throughout a room and throughout your house.

4- Dried flowers give off excessive yin energy and should not be used in the home or office.

5- Use live plants as much as possible because they enhance chi movement and, like crystals and hollow bamboo stems, they seem to have the capacity to filter negative sha into positive chi.

6- Chinese tradition says that a crystal chandelier is a powerful source of yang energy which might attract money and success
for an entire family.

7- Always energize the south corner in your home with red candles, the southwest with a pink quartz crystal, the west with a horseshoe or metal hangings, the northwest with a wind chime or a brass bell, the north with a fountain, the northeast with a ceramic bowl or figurine, the southeast with purple flowers, and the east with a potted plant or small tree.

8- If inside your home there is a fireplace or a wood stove, hang a mirror above the fireplace and place live plants pottery and ceramic pieces on each side of it to prevent beneficial chi from escaping up the chimney.

9- Displaying images or a drawing of a crane or of a deer symbolizes longevity; of an elephant, good fortune; of a tiger, protection; of a green dragon, phoenix, and turtle, good fortune. Images of a white tiger are viewed as overbearing.

10- Hanging red tassels help retain chi energy.

Remember, FENG SHUI works if you work to make it work.
So, give your GOOD FORTUNE a chance to materialize!
