Happy New Year! Chinese New Year, that is, as we take a look at what the Year of the Tiger will be all about, for people like us and for the world as a whole. This time around there is even a section in the article on page 32 that tells how the Tiger will interact with each of the 12 signs (you know…Aries, Taurus, and so on). On a more serious note, on page 38 is a piece devoted to the much-anticipated return of Pluto to the exact place it held on July 4, 1776 (our nation’s traditional birthday).

Firdaria: Periods of Life, by Aswin Subramanyan. Self-Published. 205 pages, paper, $22.95, kindle edition $9.99. In his highly innovative and interesting book, Aswin Subramanyan introduces the concept of firdaria, a technique of dividing the life into planetary periods using a fixed sequence of planets. According to the author, it was probably invented by 7th century CE Persian astrologer Al-Andarzaghar, but popularized by 9th century CE Persian astrologer Abu Ma’shar. This type of predictive technique is comparable to the time-lords used in Hellenistic astrology and the Indian Vimshottari Dasha system, the latter of which is most familiar to Subramanyan, an astrologer from India who “developed a keen interest in Hellenistic and Medieval astrological traditions” developed in areas “West of the Indian subcontinent.” His practice combines the best techniques of all three traditions,…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2022 reduces to 6 (2+0+2+2=6), a number associated with going inward and reflecting, rather than being a social butterfly.

Be sure to devise a Plan B since you never know what life has in store for you. Take charge of the things that you can control and if you are patient and follow through on your vision, things will fall into place. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your…
