Winning the Lottery

This article was written by Stephanie Clement on May 31, 2002

Jane (not her real name) purchased a lottery ticket on Feb. 5, 1998, got into a legal battle with the store owner where she purchased it, and settled the case on Aug. 7, 1998, with herself declared as the winner.

Can astrology predict a lottery winner?
Could Jane have predicted that she would win? Probably not, but a good astrologer could have recognized the enhanced patterns and suggested that Jane focus on her intuition and psychic abilities, that she listen to her heart or pay attention to the messages from her inner guides.

It’s a bit like driving a car. When you see a curve in the road you adjust your steering. When you are on an uphill stretch, you engage the accelerator, and when you are on a downhill section you apply the brakes. When the road is wide and straight you sail ahead. Astrology shows you the metaphorical curves and bumps in the road of life so that you can plan around them.

Curiosity is a great cure-all because it generates energy and enthusiasm. Even if you don’t have much control over your present circumstances, you can nevertheless indulge your curiosity with simple tarot readings. The following is a “card search” technique that gives you something to look forward to. As you shuffle your deck,... read this article
