Will The World End on May 21, 2011?

I just got back from vacation and passed a roadsign in the Southern United States that said that the world was ending on May 21, 2011. Well this surprised me! So I did a bit more research on the subject.

 

As it turns out, there is a group that believes that the world will end on May 21, 2011. According to the predictions of the Family Radio ministry, on that date a massive earthquake will shake the world apart, littering the ground with 'many dead bodies'. Those who believe in Jesus will be carried into heaven, while the rest of humanity will endure 153 days of 'death and horror' before the world finally gets its last gasp and ends on October 21. The church members point to baffling biblical codes to demonstrate their reasoning and timing.

Speaking to CNN the group's leader, 89-year-old Harold Camping, is adamant that the date is accurate. He said: 'I know it's absolutely true, because the Bible is always absolutely true. 'If I were not faithful that would mean that I'm a hypocrite.' Despite his conviction, Camping has predicted the world would end before - on September 4 1994. That, he says, was a mistake, a misreading of the biblical codes used to decipher the exact date of the 'rapture'. In order to get the warning out in time he fudged his calculations, a mistake he maintains he did not make this time.

According to the Church's website, there are two 'proofs' that May 21 2011 is the judgement day. According to them, Noah's great flood occurred in the year 4990 B.C., 'exactly' 7000 years ago. At the time, God said to Noah he had seven days before the flood would begin. Taking a passage from 2 Peter 3:8, in which it is said a day for God is like a thousand human years, the church reasoned that seven 'days' equals 7000 human years from the time of the flood,making 2011 the year of the apocalypse.

In its second 'proof' the exact date is revealed by working forward from the exact date of the of the crucifixion - April 1, 33 AD. According to their reasoning, there are exactly 722,500 days from April 1, 33 A.D. until May 21, 2011 - the alleged day of judgement. This number can be represented as follows: 5 x 10 x 17 x 5 x 10 x 17 = 722,500. The church then argues that numbers in the bible have special meanings, with the number 5 signifying atonement or redemption, the number 10 signifying 'completeness' and the number 17 equalling heaven.

Never miss your horoscope again -- free sign up here. Here is my favorite book on astrology and a "must" for anyone interested in learning more: Secrets from a Stargazer's Notebook: Making Astrology Work for You and here's a guide to the best books available this month.

 

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Who is that celestial presence who outshines all us mere mortals? Okay, it’s just a Ram who is hogging the spotlight. So what else is new? There is nothing that you cannot do. Use the next week to get some new things in motion and meet scads of new people who can help you along. You are infused with spit and fire and you start spreading it around. Yuk.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
There are things that go bump in the night. There are spooky ghouls that rise up and surprise you. But Bulls are fearless, feckless and fancy free, at least this week. Toss off your chains. Fight all dragons and set your course for a new invigorated you. If that path happens to take you on a cruise through the islands in search of a kindred spirit, that’s not bad either.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
This week is great for gathering the masses so make all your moves a group effort. How did you get so popular? Don’t waste this powerful energy on just playing around. You have a way of capturing the social dynamic and having it dance to your own tune. Choose your marching music and get ready to implement your grand plan - happy hour, on the hour, every hour.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Professional opportunities seem to fall into your lap this week.  Crabs are encouraged to make a grab for power. You feel invincible and unstoppable. Try to do it unobtrusively and covertly as is your wont rather than rely on an obviously pushy  maneuver. To your own self be true and be your truest in a corner office surrounded by your closest cadre.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
If you feel closed in and suffocating, welcome a liberating energy this week. Lions feel the urge to break free and explore the universe. Plan a grand getaway or, if money is tight, cruise some new neighborhoods or websites. The most important thing is to get out of your own skin and into someone ... er... something brand new. How tight a fit do you need?

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Kootchi coo Virgo. You are too cute for words. This week you are bursting with confidence that makes you especially sexy and alluring. You manage to catch the eye of every desirable suitor. Gosh, what a change of pace! Dive into the scene and make a splash. Ah, if you could only bottle it and save it for the next drought. But you  now find yourself chronically parched.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Do you feel the need for connection? Libras suddenly do not want to be alone and yearn to be part of a pair. Those currently in a relationship find ways of making the bonds even tighter. Those who are currently unattached manage to cast their vote for a few electable candidates. Who will win your loyalty? Explore and probe their positions.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Work and exercise are highlighted. Scorpios get into the swim this week. There is nothing that you cannot accomplish now if you set your mind to it. Do not waste precious time. Tackle all unresolved issues, handle all long standing projects and transfer the pile of “to dos” from your in box to your out box to your trash. Sounds like a pretty good plan!

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
How much rip roaring fun can Archers possibly have? I don’t know but you are sure to test your party hearty limits  now. There will be ample opportunity to let loose and relax with a range of pleasurable pastimes. Romance may be in the air for those with a keen sense of smell. Don’t be too full of your own aroma to catch the whiff of a certain wallflower.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Rather than fight the fates on this one, use the next week or so to enjoy the confines of your home rather than trot afar. You now have the will and the way to improve your surroundings. Become a happy homemaker and entertainer extraordinaire. Caps might consider planning a family reunion to show off who they are and what they can do. What can you do...?

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Aquarians are fairly boisterous this week. Shout it loud and clear, compadre. Your opinions must be unleashed and disseminated. No one will have the heart to ask you to pipe down and you may even find that there is a troop of happy campers willing to follow your every lead. As long as you have the crowd, crowd into your favorite knoodling spot.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Reap your just rewards now. Pisces are usually careful with their dough. It is nice to note that scrimping and saving pays off. Let a few pennies shake loose and enjoy your gotten gains. Yet there will always be a hint of need even with your financial flush. There is nothing so comforting as to feel that big bulge in your wallet. Hmm or is it in a pocket?

Lucky Numbers for the Week of March 18, 2011

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But I think it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes.

So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of March 18-24, 2011:

23, 27, 36, 37, 41, 49, 57, 79

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions. Here's a guide to the best books available this month

Welcome the Astrology Sign of Aries

On March 21, 2011 the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Aries the Ram and welcomes a 31 day period of oomph, pushiness, determination, pioneering energy and strength. Aries are the generals of the zodiac, taking up causes and pushing forward to victory.  

(Bette Davis had Sun in Aries)

If you know an Aries, you know that they do not take "no" for an answer. Once they make up their minds they become battering rams who will push and push until they get what they want. The can be very protective and loving, but on their own terms. They are an open book - no deception, no sly games, no subtrafuge - and they will be the ones who stick by your side when all appears to be lost. And they love things big and grand ... including you.

When an Aries loves you, they love you with all their heart and soul.  But they need to be loved back without all the mind games and emotions. Show them that you care and let them make the first move. They love to boss folks around so let them do so. They can be opinionated, brash, bold and out-of-control but they are never, ever boring.

Famous folks with Sun in Aries are:

David Letterman

Heath Ledger

Thomas Jefferson

Hugh Hefner

Anthony Perkins

Improve Your Home Aura Before You Move In

Just like there are those who believe that placing a statue of St Joseph will help to sell their house, there are also those who believe that there is a need to remove negative energy auras of the prior residents when one moves into a new place. And needless to say, there are all sorts of new age experts who can help you rid a home any negative energy. Some of these experts use feng shui and some use other methods.

When I move into a new place I first bring in a broom, sugar and salt. These rid homes of any negativity. But for those who use feng shui, there are more rituals to do before the space is cleansed. But there are actually experts who you can hire who will remove all ugly auras before you ueven step int he door with your furniture.

According to an article in the New York Times, the business of space clearers and smudgers is looking up even in these recessionary times. Space clearers and feng shui experts chant and burn incense that can seep into every crevice of an apartment. One would also meditate over an altar that includes bowls of water with candles and wildflowers and a stack of brightly colored papers on which you can write your wishes such as finding a soul mate, starting a family and having more success in a career.

Judith Wendell, feng shui expert says that her fees are driven less by apartment size than by “what’s in the space energetically.” “I want to bring a positive energy that’s not tied to anything specific and also get rid of the energy of the previous owner."

The New York real estate industry has been a job machine for thousands of brokers, lawyers, managers, architects, engineers and tradesmen. But since worries about the future or negative vibes from the past are two things New Yorkers cannot complain to management about, a very tiny industry of smudgers — or “space clearers,” the term Ms. Wendell prefers — has evolved to fill these needs.
