Premium Services *£1.53/min 0906 1104 334 The Wizardry of Fate When she started the first book, J.K. Rowling was on government benefits. Now she’s got more cash than the Queen. But her personal story is about more than money or success. The forces at work in the Harry Potter books are a reflection of her own psychic transformation. D espite what the books may say, Harry Potter was born in 1990 on a train from Manchester to London. He arrived fully formed in J.K. Rowling’s imagination, like a bolt from the blue. She was a single mother struggling to make ends meet, and although she wanted to write, she had not found the confidence or inspiration she needed. In similar fashion, Harry was living an ordinary life, unaware of his true abilities; until a surprise visit on his 11th birthday launched him into a different reality. The parallel is not hard to see, especially when Rowling’s astrological signature is taken into account. Joanne Rowling was born on 31st July, 1965—a Leo in the Chinese year of the Snake. This is a perplexing combination in that Leo is one of the most extroverted signs, while the Snake is known for being secretive and private. Fortunately for Rowling, it creates an excellent synergy for writing. On one hand, it fulfills Leo’s need to be in the spotlight and bask in public adoration. On the other, the practice of writing is intensely private and solitary, which is just the thing for a reclusive Snake. Crystal Clear Psychics Limited 11 Mulberry Court Huntington, YORK • YO32 9TU As a child, Rowling likens herself to Harry Potter’s friend Hermione: A prudent spirit, a hard worker, and often hiding away somewhere with a book. Although she was an enthusiastic reader with an inkling that she could be a writer, her resolve would be tested many times before the path to literary stardom would open. Rowling’s early professional life was strongly influenced by her Jupiter, which appears in the most philosophical area of her chart. She studied French at the University of Exeter, worked for Amnesty International in London, and taught English in Portugal. While her Leo Sun kept her going as a teacher, Snake poured itself into the private pursuit of finishing the first Potter novel. She met and married her first husband during this time, and although they lived together for a few years and had a daughter, the marriage ended bitterly. She soon found herself back in England as a single parent. On top of that, she was still struggling to finish her first manuscript. This is where Rowling’s Snake and Lion energies came to the rescue. Snake is among the most determined signs, Lucie Reception, Operations Manager Lauren Reception, General Manager Credit Card Readings: 0800 422 0422 • Premium (£1.53/min): 0906 1104 334 • [email protected] and does not like to fail. In similar form, Leo is known for its strong sense of pride. At a house in Scotland, while working full time and raising her daughter, Rowling committed herself to finishing the manuscript, which was then called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. When the book was picked up by a small publishing house, Rowling was given a advance of £1400. As her phenomenal creative energies came pouring out in one book after the other, Rowling’s main astrological signs began to manifest in ways that were appropriate to her new position in life. Leo relished in red carpet events for the film adaptations of her books, during which her fashionable clothes and photogenic face satisfied a deep urge for public attention. Rowling’s relationship with the press, meanwhile, was Snake energy at its finest. Besides loyalty and financial security, privacy is among the Snake’s most prized possessions—and when this privacy is violated, the Snake lashes out. The famed author’s distaste for invasive press—particularly tabloids—even made its way into the books themselves, where Harry’s notoriously unintelligent uncle shows his preference for a certain daily rag. Rowling’s astrological signature was instrumental in giving her the psychic strength to withstand global exposure (Leo), while at the same time providing her with the imagination and solitary discipline needed to create an astonishingly complex world (Snake) and see it through to its final resolution. There are many other astrological factors which contributed to the richness of the Harry Potter saga, but exploring those would require a book in itself. As J.K. Rowling looks past the mixed reception of her first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, it remains to be seen how her psychic energies will play out in the future. The intensity of her success with the Potter novels was unprecedented, and begs the question: What mountain does she have yet to climb?It may be that Rowling disappears from sight for awhile, or even retires from writing to focus on charity work. On the other hand, with a creative force like hers, it’s not unheard of for lightning to strike twice.

If you want to cozy up to a Cancer, here’s what you need to know. R uled by the moon, Cancer is a sign of mysterious moods and soulful romance. Onenight-stands are not the crab’s cup of tea—but if a committed partnership is what you’re after, this highly intuitive sign can be a dream come true. Although it is a cardinal sign—meaning that it marks the beginning of a new season (Summer) and has a certain power to initiate things—you shouldn’t wait for Cancer to make a move. Its connection to the moon, and to the element of water, give it a highly receptive quality. Rather than running after you, a Cancer will wait for your approach and then decide what to do with you. If you approach the wrong way—loudly for example, with a lot of fast talk—the crab will duck into its shell and scuttle away. It’s not that Cancer is overly judgmental. It just wants to feel a connection rather than meet on the level of intellect. In other words, a moment of genuine eye contact is more effective than so many opening lines. But you can’t just sit there—so what do you say help your chances? Cancerians are notoriously sentimental creatures. They love reminiscing about the past, so try connecting to your childhood and sharing a happy memory. Cancer will peek out of its shell to see if you are for real. That’s when you ask something about their past. If they don’t answer right away, don’t force the issue! The point is that you demonstrate a sensitivity to the importance of home and family. Since Cancer’s ultimate goal is to be cozy and safe with you, being genuine is key. If you play hard to get, they’ll take it at face value and walk. Patience is vital. It may take time to get a conversation started, but once you gain a basic level of trust, your chances of deepening the connection are much higher. Moving into the realm of dating and commitment, nothing charms a Cancer like warm situations and a personal touch. A home-cooked dinner for two isbetter than a flashy restaurant with a big bill. Even when you are in public, Cancer wants to feel like the two of you are observing the world from a private island. It’s true that Cancerians are homebodies—and their homes tend to be among the loveliest and warmest anywhere—but they also have a sense of adventure. The main thing is, they want to feel at home with you, wherever the two of you may be. Cancerians can be moody—no doubt about that. Since they are attuned to the moon’s energy, their emotions are prone to shift from one day to the next. What can you do? Accept this as part of who they are, and be honest about how you feel in return. Even if your Cancer doesn’t like what they hear, they will respect your willingness to stand by your own feelings. Just make sure to remain sympathetic; insensitivity is a deal-breaker. If you’re wondering whether all of this is worth it, the answer is: Unquestionably! Cancerians have a huge store of romantic passion beneath the protective shell. They know how to connect with you on a level beneath words, and making you feel special is their specialty. What’s more, when they open up to you, life in the bedroom can be earth-shattering. Remember—Cancers are protective and selective because to them, love is a VIP experience. Keep that in mind while you’re trying to get a foot in the door! Looking for Summer love? Call our psychics on 0800 422 0422 It can be the most rewarding romance of your life, but you’ll need a map to navigate these mysterious waters A Nurture your Child’s Spirit s a parent, you want your child to find his or her own path while protecting them from danger. You want to show them what’s out there without limiting their self-discovery. Taking all of these factors into account, and providing an environment that nurtures spiritual growth, is one of the biggest challenges of parenting. It requires patience, self-examination, and a healthy dose of intuition. Be aware of your own conditioning When considering the spiritual nourishment you are providing for your child, the first place to look is within. Most of us have one form of conditioning or another from our own childhoods, and it can be difficult not to pass this on in some form. It may help to get an outside perspective from a partner or trusted friend, or journal about your childhood to help reveal any unhealthy influences you may be projecting onto your child. Try making a list of positive and negative aspects of the spiritual environment provided by your own parents; then make a new list for your child. Student and Teacher One of the most common things children deal with is being talked down to, as if the adults know better. Of course, this is often the case with worldly things, but when it comes to being spiritually free and open, the opposite is often true! Children carry with them a natural curiosity, innocence, and awareness of the present moment that often makes them the teachers and us the students! Taking cues from your child’s spiritual awareness, and learning from it, puts you in a better position to offer a nourishing environment for their spiritual growth. Tune into that source of joy and freedom, and you will naturally understand how to expand rather than stifle it—not only for your child, but for yourself. Invite questions, avoid absolutes Lecturing your child on the history of the Tarot may not be the best approach. Instead, let them see a deck of cards and allow their natural responses to come forth. Rather than read them the Lotus Sutra, try one of the many Buddhist-themed storybooks available. It’s better to keep things light and playful—there will be plenty of time for serious teachings when they get older! For now, gently introduce your child to the various tools and paths available, taking care not to push. As their personality begins to take shape, they will naturally gravitate toward some things and away from others. Allow their instincts to blend with yours and lead the way together. When your child does ask questions—’What’s this card mean?’ or ‘Why did the Buddha seek enlightenment?’— it’s usually better to answer in relative terms. ‘Many people believe the Buddha sought enlightenment because...’ is one example. Too many definite answers can stifle a child’s ability to reflect for themselves, which is really the basis of spiritual growth. If you have a strong belief about something, by all means, share it with your child. But remind them that these are big questions, and everybody has to find their own answers. Trust the process The most fundamental thing of all is to trust that your child is being guided down the path that is right for them. This can be enhanced on your part through meditation, prayer, offerings, or any kind of spiritual practice that feels right. Ask spirit to help you guide the child on his or her way, and continuously affirm your trust in the process. When you know that a higher power is on the case, a great deal of pressure is relieved. Then you and your child can relax and explore the world of spirituality together. Psychic Gitte As a child, I knew I had a strong connection with the spiritual world. I had an imaginary friend, Katju, who looked like a teardrop. He was always at my side when I was helping friends and family who came to me for guidance. I would often look up at the sky and ask what it is that made me different. The answer was always, “when the time is right my child, you will know”. A client contacted me once because she had had a wonderful experience with her two dogs who were suffering from arthritis. She had taken them to a specialist in Germany who let them swim around in a big pool. The dogs quickly felt better, and my client wanted to know if she could open the same type of clinic in her own city. I immediately saw people and their dogs queuing up for therapy, and told her she would be very successful, and would need lots of space because it would grow quickly. Now, two years down the road, the business is a hit! A good reading happens when the client and the reader first communicate to identify what the client wants to know. This gives the reader a clear understanding and sets the tone for a productive session. The journey can then begin, whether it’s traveling into the past or future. or simply finding clarity in the present. The reader must always respect the client’s limits if there are any. A successful reading always ends with an uplifting, empowering feeling for client and reader both.
