Mayan calendar does not stop in 2012
For those who still believe (or fear) that the world will end in 2012, an older Mayan calendar has been unearthed and its calculations go way beyond 2012.
They used some interesting astronomical cycles: 117 days, 178 days, their classic cycle of 260 days, 365 days, 584 days and 780 days.
The longest time span they depicted was 6700 years, so our descendents can start worrying about the end of...

Storks bring babies?
Research in Germany has shown that the decline in storks around Berlin between 1970 and 1985 coincided with less babies being born in the area.
When the population of storks started increasing again after 1995, there was also an increase in deliveries outside city-hospitals.
Here is the complete article: New evidence for the Theory of the Stork

“Those who are good in Yi Jing, don’t do divination”.
— old Chinese saying
善于易者不卜.
When you are good in Yi Jing (I Ching), you know the principles of nature and you don’t need to do any divination, including bazi reading or feng shui.

Prophet's dilemma
We all know the concept of “self-fulfilling prophecy”. It is when a certain prediction causes it to become true. There are many classic examples in old stories and literature.
But the opposite exists too. When something becomes not true because it was predicted. The prediction itself (or the person’s response to it) prevents it from happening. This is called:...

Today is the start of “Awakening of insects” 惊蛰 solar term.

Now everything in nature becomes more active and grows up full with energy. The hibernating insects awaken and start to move. The energy and blood within our...

The Cycles of Life according to Yi Jing
The Cycles of Life according to Yi Jing
Some years ago I have read a Chinese text from the qigong classics, which describes the changes of qi during the different years in one’s life. It’s quite interesting, so here is the translation: Age 0 - 3 Pure Yin - hexagram 2 KUN (Earth) Age 3 - 5 One Yang is generated – hexagram 24 FU (Returning). The original qi (yuan qi)...

Mark Zuckerberg
The co-creator and founder of Facebook became the world’s youngest billionaire in 2008.
His wealth is likely to increase even further with the Facebook IPO stock offering announced for this year. This will generate $ billions for him and his company.
He has an interesting chart to look at. The birth time is uncertain, as there is no source for this time.

What leads to success?
Does it depend on talent? Or on high IQ? Or on your birth chart? Or on luck? Or on the quality of the teacher(s)?
Researchers have looked into the question and found that very successful people have always one thing in common: 10000 hours of practice. It has become known as the ten thousand hour rule. Even average talent or IQ are often overcome when a person gets over 10000 hours of practice.

Using many methods
Lots of people, not only in the field of astrology, think that better results can be achieved by more work or by using more different methods and tools.

An acupuncture friend wrote down:
“I know that these solar terms are fixed and this seems to work in some places of the world. But for us far more North from the Equator all the names and description of weather/qi/energy should fall to different times.

Is history Earth element?
We can not categorize everything under just one of the five elements. And even if we can categorize something under an element, then we can usually discern different parts or aspects of it and attribute them to different elements. So, not rarely we will find all 5 elements hidden in something. Let’s say we consider a tree or plant. Many people will tell us it belongs to wood...
