Three Things to Keep in Mind About Eclipses:
1. For as long as two weeks (possibly longer) before an eclipse, but more commonly several days leading up to the eclipse and for a few days after, there exists a strangely amplified electric intensity, characteristic of scattered focus and emotional fare-ups. This especially holds true during lunar eclipses.
2. Unexpected happenings are the norm during eclipses.
3. During eclipses, your perception and sense of discernment is distorted. Be very wary of entirely new ideas (e.g., investment possibilities, etc.) during this time, and be very cautious of any legal agreements and contracts originated and, or solidified under this energy.
Eclipses, like transits, retrogrades, and other, lesser indicators, are sporadic factors. In a universal significance and related to your unique natal configurations, sometimes the associated energy is active, and most of the time it’s not. Any single eclipse may symbolize (along with corroborating factors, never by itself) momentous life events for one person, and for the next it may have almost zero relevance.
Although eclipses are minor indicators, they are easy to track in a universal sense and it’s wise to acknowledge the representative influence. Doing so will allow you to witness the cyclical nature of life and reduce your exposure to risk.

Question:
“My question is motivated by experiencing a long and bad period of time (career wise). According to my horoscope, however, this should be the most fortunate time of my life – so I am doing something wrong. Comparing to the law of attraction movement – It is only me who is attracting a bad time…How does astrology and Law of Attraction relate to each other? How much is it my own fault – and how much is it the positions of the planets that I cannot alter? Then I read a bit about Vedic astrology – that it seems possible to work with ‘bad’ times and change bad into good times. How does one do that ? Your answer is highly appreciated – this situation is not good. Thank you very much in advance.”
Answer:
Sorry to hear about your current career challenges.
You say, “according to my horoscope,” but you don’t specify to what exactly you are referring.
5 Reasons Your Life Circumstances Don’t Harmonize With Your Astrology
- You believe the full extent of your astrology is your “horoscope,” found on-line or in a magazine, written by a mainstream, modern-method-focused astrologer. Since they’re famous, they must offer high accuracy rates, right? Wrong. Horoscopes, based on Sun sign astrology and, or transits aren’t substitutes for authentic astrology. Entertaining and poetic, perhaps, but extremely generalized and void of any accuracy.
- Your astrology consists of free reports found on the Internet, or reports generated by astrology software. Unfortunately, all computer-generated astrology reports (even the expensive ones) are based on only a limited collection of astrology factors including transits, progressions, solar and lunar return charts, and other surface components. Besides the reports failing to synthesize the indicators, they are based on minor factors that should only be used to firm up an analysis derived from more comprehensive methods. Since genuine astrology is exceedingly complex, it would take programming beyond what is possible by humans, and besides, computers can’t yet reason and analyze like humans.
- Your astrologer only includes trivial factors (see above) in his or her analyses, missing the vast bulk of the collective energy accurately symbolizing your fate. It’s akin to an archeologist refusing to probe more than one meter below the surface, saying something like, “modern archeology is all about possibilities, not concrete particulars, and those possibilities below the surface are up to you.” A sure sign of an astrologer to be avoided is one who denies the tenets of unavoidable personal adversity and personal fate.
- Your astrologer does include an adequate collection of comprehensive factors in his or her systems of analysis, but you didn’t phrase your question adequately, you misinterpreted the feedback, or your concern was too complex to be covered through one session and you need to explore the issue further.
- Your astrologer was wrong. It happens occasionally, considering no analyst or reader is 100% accurate, all the time.
Regarding the law of attraction, the law of attraction proponents don’t take into consideration other spiritual laws, such as the law of predetermination and the law of karma. While you do have free will to make the most of your situation and also to create quite a lot within your predestined framework, our findings clearly show that you can’t cheat your personal fate.
I recommend that you download our free Direct Your Destiny e-book, which includes a lot more on the dynamics of fate and free will, and how to make the most of your life: http://www.holisticmakeover.com/
Please be cautious with Vedic astrology: http://www.holisticmakeover.com/Dec18th2009.htm
The only way to “change” immutable negative circumstances into positive ones is to view them differently, such as through detachment. Be wary if you’re told you can wave a magic wand, or use “cures” such as gemstones to change or manifest anything. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

The debate about fate vs. free will has raged for thousands of years.
The majority of the most respected ancient astrologers, numerologists, and mystics throughout recorded history (before modern times) fully embraced predetermination.
In other words, they believed that the core elements of your life, the chief circumstances and events, are predestined.
An aside, the term destiny is greatly misunderstood and misused today, particularly by New Age marketers. The authentic, ancient meaning of destiny is the same as fate: unique, immutable conditions and situations in your life.
Although you can make the most of your fate through free will, you can’t escape the core of your destiny (challenges and rewards).
Things in Your Life You Can Control:
- What you think. However, you mostly can’t control subconscious impressions, which greatly influence your thinking. Hypnosis helps in attempting to modify unconscious fears, although defenses are much more complex.
- How you respond to things in your life that you can’t control, such as other people’s behavior and actions, unless you lack impulse control and habitually react uncontrollably. By the way, impulse control is accurately assessed through handwriting analysis, which is an excellent way to reduce your risk.
- What you say.
- How you approach your work, the attitude you nurture.
- How you spend your leisure time.
- Who you associate with.
- What you decide to eat.
- How you spend your money.
- How much compassion and unconditional love you generate, which can go a long way in enhancing your destiny.
Things in Your Life You Can’t Control:
- How you are tested—those times in your life when your integrity, honesty, faith, convictions, etc. are put to the test.
- God’s will, which is another way to say predetermination, fate, destiny, or predestination.
- The choices and actions of others; what they feel, think, say, or do.
- Disease, physical limitations, and illness (but you can possibly reduce your susceptibility through healthy habits).
- God’s laughter when you announce your plans for the future.
- Your subconscious fears and defenses. Although you can modify (e.g., through hypnosis) and learn to live with many unconscious fears (e.g., fear of flying, fear of expression, et al.), you must learn to live with most of them, and unconscious defenses can’t really be modified. Incidentally, handwriting analysis very effectively outlines subconscious fears and defenses.
- Criticism and rejection from others.
- Level of unique, innate strife or harmony between you and another person.
- Weather.
- Natural disasters.
- The family you are born into.
- Your early life environment.
- Unavoidable happenings in your life, such as your pet damaging or destroying your property.
- Future life karma generated from past lives.
- The undercurrent of your collective personal karma that symbolically shapes everything in your life.
Unfortunately, there is a lot in life that you can’t control. However, you can better prepare for life’s trials through self-knowledge. Comprehensive astrology and numerology successfully outline personal destiny, and handwriting analysis superbly uncovers hidden personality features, allowing you to dramatically reduce your risk.
“Whosoever may be adapted to any particular event or pursuit, will assuredly have the (collective energy of various heavenly bodies) indicative thereof very potent in his nativity.”
Claudius Ptolemy, 2nd century AD astrologer
“In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which appears to them an act of their own will, is in an historical sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of history and predestined from eternity”
Leo Tolstoy, 19th century novelist, author of War and Peace

A recent CareerBuilder survey among over 2400 U.S. hiring managers includes startling findings:
*A bad hire has negatively affected 67% of companies
*$50,000 wasted on one bad hire for 24% of companies
*$25,000 wasted on one bad hire for 40% of companies
*58% of companies stated their average cost of hiring one employee at more than $1000 (not including cost of a bad hire)
*Lost time in replacing a bad hire, lost productivity, and financial loss in having to recruit a replacement were reported as the most common ways a bad hire negatively affected companies
More information here:
http://www.careerbuilder.com/share/aboutus/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?id=pr609&sd=12%2f13%2f2010&ed=12%2f31%2f2010&siteid=cbpr&sc_cmp1=cb_pr609
It’s important to note that the generally accepted cost of a bad hire is over two times the annual salary. The costs of a bad hire estimates in the above survey were likely underestimated due to the bulk of the hidden costs being overlooked.
A sure way to reduce your risk of a bad hire is to use a full range of personality assessments, including handwriting analysis, to determine a person’s fit for the demands of the job.
Handwriting analysis is an effective tool to investigate well beyond the surface persona to reveal the subconscious personality, the real personality.
Under pressure on the job, after the interview and while superiors aren’t watching, a person’s authentic abilities and challenges emerge.
There are many personality traits and red flag concerns that aren’t easy to measure by only talking to an applicant, reviewing their resume, and through standard personality evaluations.
Remember, multiple-choice, self-test personality assessments can be manipulated. Handwriting analysis, executed by a well-trained professional, can’t be manipulated.
Having an accurate read of character, you’ll greatly reduce your risk and save enormous amounts of time and money in hiring situations.
