Here I will be talking only about astrological predictions derived from natal charts)? Recently, I had a chance to discuss this topic with a f...

For those of you who are following the protests over massive election fraud in Iran, I am attaching a few photos I came across (in case you haven’t seen them already).   The Iranian Government has been trying really hard to stop news or images coming out of Iran but thanks to twitter, flick...
