Book Description
Astrologers use lunar eclipses for timing and prediction. Our birth charts reveal we belong to a heavenly family--a family of dragons, a family of galvanizing lunar eclipse patterns, many of which are ancient and have been returning for centuries. Get ready to meet your dragon family and discover life patterns unknowable by any conventional means of astrological analysis. The ancient Chinese believed that lunar eclipse occurred when a dragon ate the moon. Our birth charts reveal we belong to a heavenly family--a family of dragons, or galvanizing lunar eclipse patterns, many of which are ancient and have been returning for centuries to check up on us, their earthly kin. Get ready to meet your dragon family and discover life patterns that have been dancing you through elaborate cosmic steps heretofore unknowable by any conventional means of astrological analysis. Who wouldn't want to dance with dragons? Nothing has captured their essence more than this book. Who are these dragons? Which Dragon family do you belong to? Which Dragon owns the Astrological DNA of your soul? How are Dragons influencing your life? If you're looking for a precision instrument that is useful, reliable and will function 100 percent of the time, the forty-seven families of lunar eclipses outlined in this book have quite the stories to tell. Some are ancient, some are new, and some have yet to be born. But they each have the power to illuminate your sphere of influence. We all want to fulfill the highest, truest expression of ourselves as human beings and a knowledge of how these Lunar Saros Series eclipses work shines a special quality of light upon our personality and our pathway through the world. You will see how the eclipses have impacted lives and brought fame, fortune and sometimes despair. The author's captivating humor takes the technical astrological data and makes it interesting to even those who are not astrology buffs. Every Astrologer needs this book. It is as essential as the Ephemerides. It will make your practice come alive in ways you have never experienced.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
He is one weird Christmas visitor -- his hair and moustache an unearthly white-blond, his voice a gruff rumble. He fills the apartment doorway. From two metal cases he produces what a boy would expect from an exterminator: Toxic roach powders and poisonous fog bombs. But a crossbow? Eric is fascinated at first. He's been bored this snowbound vacation, and has already zapped about a zillion Zergs. Antsy, he's even sneaked a look at the Christmas presents hidden beneath his parents' bed. Then Anje Gabrail, this exterminator, appears, talking a little madly about his war against rats -- about killing them. "The worst," Anje says. And if Eric sees one in the Eden Apartments, he is to call Anje's twenty-four-hour cell phone immediately. Later that Monday, the fourth day before Christmas, a rat does appear in the building's basement -- and Eric finds himself suddenly, frighteningly swept into Anje's vengeful army. As either partner...or victim. With only a flashlight.
