It is no surprise by now that we have two lunar eclipses coming back to back in one month, with a solar eclipse right in the middle of both. This period of eclipses is surely very potent and powerful for most people in the world. In astrology the energy in this period will set many matters in our life moving at a very fast pace. A close and dear friend of mine has gone through most of it and is still waiting for the last lunar eclipse to close the curtain down upon some important past issues.
I have done a few Tarot readings for him and one was really popping out to tell the story among those who have been involved. The Moon represented people who held on the past and would not let go and adapt themselves to big changes in life. The Star spoke about the energy which was invoked by my friend and those who were willing to help him through the current rough period in life. However it would be the Sun that is about to bring everyone forward because that would be for the best concerning the karmic path of one precious child. The kid, while helpless and depending on the adults to protect his future, does have a good karma to give him a good life and perhaps a good chance to grow in spiritual sense. Maybe it will be all proven in the end of the last eclipse coming on August 6.
As for me, I took an employment exam on July 5 so now I am waiting to see if I passed the first round of exam to get in for the second round interview. To be honest I did not study hard for it as I should be, and it was more than obvious that I had screwed up in the third subject. The matter of the fact was that the hiring rate was unbelievably low --- less than one percent. Just the top three percents could have a chance of being interviewed for the job. Since I did not really study for it and pretty much messed up in the third subject, I should not even hold hopes for getting the interview anyway, let alone the job itself.
A quite psychic friend of mine told me that the night after the exam he had dreamed of people asking him to hand me over some special Chinese vegetables, which were the well known good luck symbols, to me. I also got two very good draws of fortune telling from the Long Shan Temple in Taipei. My own Tarot readings have pointed out my new job is coming soon for a few times. Several signs like these had me hope for the lady luck would be on my side for winning the job from the largest telecommunication provider in Taiwan --- the Chung Hwa TeleCom. People who work there can also be granted an extreme stable job till their retirement. That would surely help ease my mind of making ends meet for the second half of my life, plus a decent retirement and maybe purchasing a home of my own later on.
As I am visiting my sister and her family in Detroit, MI, USA. My good local friend Chris also told me that he would move to NYC in September for a master program and hopefully a good job offering. The unemployed rate in Detroit went up to about 15% recently, so most people have to move to somewhere else if they want to find a job to live on. I would remain hopeful for all my friends to find a good job to support themselves because the time is certainly getting rough in the near future. It would be very hard to watch everyone to go through economy downturn in the coming years...
