Mars-Sign meanings (taken from http://www.astrology-numerology.com/):
Aries
Mars is at its strongest in Aries, its natural sign. This placement represents high energy, initiative, courage and impulsiveness. Most of the energies seem to come out as the physical and emotional type, but in Aries, Mars is very active and assertive in demonstrating enthusiasm for all four types of energy. This is a very powerful position for Mars.
You have an unrestricted drive to get projects done, to start new projects, and to act decisively. Your enthusiasm is contagious. An individualist with quite an ego, you always want to do things your way. Based on the influence of this planet taken by itself, you are not good at compromise or teamwork. There is a major part of you that always wants to charge out ahead of the pack and be the leader. Despite your apparent leadership abilities, you may function best when you are working alone and independently because of your demand to have your own way. If you are in a group, you will aspire to be the leader. Headstrong and independent, you won't tolerate opposition or interference and your temper can get you into trouble at times. Mars in Aries makes you very competitive in a variety of ways. This is perhaps the most courageous and enterprising Mars position.
You have a very strong sex drive which is spontaneous and easily aroused. Self-control can be a problems in this regard. As on the physical side, you are often unrestrained and very demanding emotionally.
The negative side of Mars in Aries is a lack of patience and discipline. Self-control and humility can be hard lessons, and often they are never mastered.
Taurus
Mars in Taurus denotes plenty of practical and emotional energy, while the physical side is often rather flat, and the interest in the intellectual is also a strain.
The planet of energy is not very active in Taurus, as the physical drive is reduced to a low gear. You may lack thrust and mobility, but make up for this deficiency with outstanding endurance. You are obstinate in many ways, yet practical, determined and very stable. You pursue your material goals with intent determination. Results are based on dogged persevering after a course of action is determined. Once you finally get rolling in one direction, it is nearly impossible to change your course. In Taurus, the energies of Mars are indeed channeled into a practical mode that may center on acquiring money, creature comforts and material possessions. Much your energy is apt to be aimed at securing wealth and a very comfortable lifestyle. Patient and precise in all that you do, you are a natural crafts person and the fruit of your efforts is likely to produce a quality product.
Also high on your list of priorities is the satisfying of physical desires. You are very sensual and sexual partner. Your approach to sex is straightforward and uncomplicated, without fantasies or fetishes; never rushed or over-anxious. Emotionally stable, you are apt to be a devoted and loyal partner.
The negative side of Mars in Taurus is often the lack of flexibility. Taurus is a fixed sign and energies expressed here sometimes come out looking like stubbornness. Even emotions can be held on to too tightly and then released with a major blow up.
Gemini
In Gemini, Mars produces mental assertiveness and mental energies are highest here. As wonderful as this seems, on the practical side, you may be somewhat lacking, and emotionally, this placement is prone to big swings and is best defined as erratic.
You have an active and critical mind that may be inclined toward going off in many directions at once. You love to debate and engage in all types of intellectual contests. A satirical wit is often a hallmark of this Mars in Gemini. Frequently, this placement attracts persons to careers as reporters, journalists and critics. Periodic job changes or handling a variety of jobs simultaneously, are not uncommon with this placement since there is much restlessness in your nature. Since so much energy is channeled into mental and verbal activity, you are apt to be quite a talker. You may make use of this strength by becoming a teacher, a lecturer, or a related field that takes advantage of your ability to express yourself. You pride yourself on your intelligence and verbal dexterity. To you, a person's worth is based on their intelligence, and you want to be respected as a formidable thinker.
Several of your romantic relationships may be superficial. You eagerly pursue new experiences in romance, but it may be difficult for you to remain constant to any one special partner. You're apt to be an incurable flirt. Your mind, however, is your most active erogenous zone.
Mars in Gemini is high-strung and produces much nervous energy, but it is lacking in physical vitality or endurance. There is a tendency for you to burn yourself out through stress and mental strain. You may need to force yourself to get more exercise as a way of balancing the physical with the mental.
Cancer
In Cancer, the Mars energies are largely of the emotional sort. While physical endeavors and practical affairs may find the energy to function satisfactorily, mental energies are apt to struggle.
This placement often causes actions to be tinged with a very sensitive flavor. You express your energies in a very emotional fashion. Much of the assertiveness of Mars is turned toward the domestic scene. There is a cautious side and much defensiveness in your nature. This placement of Mars is not very physical or competitive, and not inclined to any sort of combat, physical or mental. Mars in Cancer has a very positive side, as it often shows a quiet, peaceful nature. While being very protective of your "turf," you are never too assertive or demanding. In your work, you rarely compromise your views, and prefer working independently and in control of affairs. You are ambitious, and a hard worker. Since you are not, by nature, an aggressive person, you pursue your desires in a round-about or start-stop manner. You frequently change your direction and your goals. You strive for security, and a good deal of your energy goes into this effort. In this regard, you are fiercely protective of family, co-workers, organization, or to whatever you devote yourself. You may be known for the strength of your patriotism and loyalty.
Because of these strong moods and feelings, you are a very sexual and sensual person. You are also very loyal in relationships, and certainly demanding of the same from your partner. Infidelity threatens your sense of security and is therefore unacceptable.
There is an intensity of these emotions that often results in moodiness and discord in your domestic relations. Your digestion is strongly affected by your moods and feelings. With energies tied to feelings, you are prone to become very angry inside. If this anger is suppressed it can result in ulcers and stomach upset.
Leo
Mars in Leo is noted for its physical energy, and it manages reasonably well in the mental and practical departments, as well. The ego and need for recognition make the emotional energy somewhat restrained.
In Leo, Mars displays exceptional will-power and creativity. With this placement, you project an air of confidence, self-sufficiency, and vitality that cause people to sit up and take notice. Activity is expressed in a dramatic fashion, suggesting that you may be well suited for the stage. You love being on "center stage." You are confident in most roles before an audience. This position couples positive initiative, with stability and determination, producing excellent leadership qualities. You have a definite charismatic and gregarious flair. This also makes you a natural leader. Ambitious and maybe a little egotistic, you want to lead. You'll do whatever you need to do to be recognized and appreciated.
You take pride in your sexual prowess. Affectionate and physically demonstrative, you enjoy the drama and excitement of a passionate affair. As much as it bolsters your ego to have several sexual partners, you're constant in love while your partner pays plenty of attention to you and is devoted. In romance, jealousy and possessiveness are often by-products of this placement.
The strong, fixed opinions and the overbearing manner of this placement may often stir opposition. The pride and need to dominate others, often sets up a degree of stubborn egotism. Excessive pride can be your pitfall, if you haven't learned to control it. The emotional side of Mars in Leo can cause to you to periodically over-react with anger when affairs don't go your way.
Virgo
In Virgo, Mars focuses its energy into the job, and thus, the energies are primarily practical and useful. This placement will also produce high or at least adequate mental energies, reasonable physical energies, but on the emotional side, there is a severe limit to the energy and the interest.
As one possessing this placement, you are usually considered a very conscientious worker. Much of your energy go into careful planning before you charge ahead on any project. When you do act, it's usually based on practical reasons, with every detail carefully thought out. You are highly critical, and very exacting in all that you do; in many respects, the perfectionist and the organizer. Painstaking and dedicated in your work, you may lack imagination and innovation, but never attention to detail. In the work place, you can be a difficult person because you are so particular about everything being done correctly. But indeed, you are the one that can be depended on to get the job done right.
Virgo is associated with the health fields. Doctors, surgeons, nurses and social workers often have Mars placed here. There is much associated with this placement that involves helping people. You may be especially concerned with helping the sick and handicapped. You need to feel needed, and you can be very tireless in such a role.
Mars, the indicator of passions, is not very passionate in Virgo. Your sex drive may be strong, but your willingness to express it can be somewhat weak. Sometimes Mars in Virgo can even be a bit puritanical. You also may be a little bit afraid of letting your passions loose, and even be critical of those that do.
The negative side of Mars in Virgo may be the sometimes lack of tolerance. It's hard for you to get emotionally worked up over anything, but you can be very demanding of yourself and others. This placement often holds force and aggressiveness in check, releasing it as irritability and nervous habits. And finally, you have to be careful not to become the classic workaholic for this is a real possibility with Mars in Virgo.
Libra
In Libra, Mars is curtailed by the rules of social behavior and the need for the cooperation and approval. Energies are very controlled and overwhelmingly favor the mental. A reasonable degree of physical energies may also be present, but this is not what this placement is noted for. Emotional and practical energies are usually rather low, if noticeable at all.
You are charming, generous, amiable, and cooperative owing to the persuasiveness of Mars in Libra. The normal assertive behavior of Mars is tamed down in Libra, and passions are never allowed to rule thinking. Yet you can become upset when your perception of justice is not served. You aren't one to push matters to extremes, but you do become very assertive when you experience injustice. You are ready to take up arms against anything that would destroy harmony, or that appears wrong or unfair. Your objective, unemotional approach could enable you to be a good judge, manager, or diplomat.
You are likely and wise to select a very assertive and energetic partner. You may need someone to push you along, as Mars can be somewhat lazy in Libra. You often need motivation. Though you are never pushy or very forceful, you do exert gentle and continuous efforts toward a solid relationship. Although you are very affectionate and romantic, your sex drive is somewhat low, and you expect more emotional satisfaction than physical passion.
You are not the type of person who goes after what you want with much conviction. You have difficulty asserting yourself at times, and it can be hard for you to be decisive. Aggression in any form threatens you, and you don't deal well with confrontations, arguments, or physical combativeness. You want to make friends, not adversaries.
Scorpio
In Scorpio, Mars displays powerful emotions and desires. Mental, physical, and practical energies are are, likewise, also very high. Indeed, the level of energy with this placement is high in all respects.
You are strong, self-reliant, extremely efficient, and highly self-disciplined. An intensity of purpose surrounds all that you undertake. This position illustrates the "do or die" principle very well. You may have an innate ability to transform other people in some significant way. You think of yourself as a "take control" person and a force to be reckoned with. You probably are.
Intensely passionate and sensual, you put much of your energy into sex. You are apt to be especially attractive to the opposite sex, whether or not you physically attractive. You may be fascinated with sexuality in all its expressions, certainly your interest is always keen. You're jealous and possessive of your sexual partners. Being trustworthy yourself, you expect the same from others. You're a loyal friend, or a bitter enemy, you never forget a betrayal.
Slow to anger, you rarely loose control, but when your ire is raised, you get even, and you can do so with frightening detachment. Proud, dignified, strong-willed, and stubborn, you have the sort of presence that is always felt by others even when you say nothing.
Sagittarius
Mars in Sagittarius produces some of the highest levels of physical energy and enthusiasm. The mental and emotional side seems to function fine as well, but unfortunately, this is not the most practical of Mars positions.In Sagittarius, Mars often produces strong philosophic convictions. You are one to stand up and fight for any cause you believe in. The sense of justice is very strong. Your idealistic motives always seek to be improving society and those individuals in your immediate environment. You are an outspoken debater, often lacking diplomacy or appreciation of the opinions of opponents. Nonetheless, your ever-cheerful presence makes you welcome in any social gathering. For you it is unrestricted freedom at all cost, with rhythm and tempo that comes naturally to you. You are a person with a zest for adventure and having a good time. You have trouble sitting still for very long, and you want to be on the move physically.
The hallmark of this position is the feeling that you are invincible. Your irrepressible confidence and optimism usually gets you through tough times. You may have been born under a lucky star. You often succeed because you don't think much about failing. In many respects you are a born gambler.
Mars in Sagittarius is not known for being particularly constant in love relationships. You approach sex as though it was a sport, and it's hard to tie you down to one person. You may be afraid of serious love affairs and being "trapped" in a relationship. This is a position that really likes sex, but at times can be too bold or crude in asking for it.
The negative of this position is a lack of endurance and consistency. Because your attention span is so short, and your interests are so many, you start many projects, but often fail to finish them. And even when you do get finished, the work can be a little sloppy. You have a tendency to scatter your energies and try to take on too much at one time.
Capricorn
In Capricorn, the energies of Mars are channeled into the arena of personal attainment, and thus, the practical energy is highest here. Physical and Mental energies are sufficient, too, but emotionally, this placement may lack spark.
You are hard-working, very determined. Since much of your energy is focused on your career, you have a tendency to become something of a workaholic. There is a drive to satisfy professional ambitions. This is likely to manifest with innate managerial skills and good old-fashioned common sense. You have strong material urges, but even stronger is the need to get status and recognition. To attain these ends, you use your energy in very practical and profitable ways. You have little use for laziness or a lack of ambition.
Your sex drive is strong and you have a full appreciation of sensual pleasures. It's likely you conceal most of these feelings behind a stiff and conservative demeanor. Your public image is very dignified and reserved. It is as though you feel you must always be in control of yourself and your emotions. Mars in Capricorn is known for the ability to retain sexual vitality until very late in life. In these later years, you are apt to be less restrained than in your youth.
Your weakness in the action department is the tendency to be too cautious and skeptical. You are apt to miss some real opportunities on this account. You have difficulty breaking out of old habit patterns and you are slow to pick up on new ideas. Somewhat pessimistic, you go looking for problems and expecting the worst. You take responsibility seriously, often too seriously.
Aquarius
In Aquarius, the energies of Mars are focused on intellectual pursuits, and therefore, mental energies are highest here. While Mars is focused on theory here, practical energies are usually found in adequate levels. The physical and emotional sides may struggle a little when Mars is in Aquarius.
The placement suggests the presence of very high principles and a modern outlook. You are concerned with the world of ideas, particularly those of an unconventional or progressive nature. Here the powers are independent, aggressive and enterprising.
You have good organizing abilities and calculated direction. You are a very good leader who can meet challenges with serenity and poise. Aquarius is a fixed sign and you are stubborn most of the time. If you believe in something, you put the idea forward with the zeal of an evangelist. You think of yourself as open-minded; willing to discuss the issues. Yet your discussions often get to be heated arguments, and you rarely give in to an opposing view. You can never work well under authoritarian direction, being one who is always out to upset the establishment. You are an active reformer with little respect for traditional ways. You can even be contemptuous of tradition unless it is substantiated with logic. You demand the freedom to speak frankly, and operate in your way.
Like the many other aspects of your life, sexually you are intrigued by anything new or unconventional. For you, variety is the spice of life. Yet somehow you are usually stable and dependable once you have found a mate.
The negative side of Mars in Aquarius resides in nonconformity. Indeed, you tend to lecture more than discuss, and you tend to demand compliance with your agenda. Your way is sometimes way out of the ordinary. At the same time, your energies are apt to produce more thought than action. You are the rebellious type, and you can become very impatient.
Pisces
In Pisces, Mars produces emotions that are unpredictable and often intense. Emotional energy is high, sometimes too high. Mentally, Mars in Pisces does well, but on the physical and practical side, this placement often comes up short.
The strength of Mars in Pisces is found in the arts. You may find yourself very much attracted to music and the arts. You may relate to many of the world's fine artists who need the isolation and introspection so much a part of this placement. You have a natural sensitivity to color, tone and rhythm that may be of benefit to you in artistic endeavors.
In this sign, Mars responds in a confused manner. Assertive action is drowned in this sign that is so receptive, emotional, sensitive, and even psychic. The result of the placement is often a quiet exterior, but with much restlessness inside. Physical strength is rare with this position. Resentment runs high. Excessive emotions are a constant problem and a good deal of solitude is frequently necessary to sort matters out. Mars in Pisces has trouble asserting itself, and it is likely that you are somewhat shy and withdrawn.
Action is expressed in "behind the scenes" roles where you can work with subtlety, and your naturally intuitive sensitivity. Much of your attitude stems from your keen sensitivity to the feelings of others. You clearly know what the other person is feeling, and therefore you are always ready to render assistance to those who are most in need. You are apt to express the energies of Mars most actively in support of the defenseless or the underprivileged. In this regard, Mars in Pisces is often found in fields such as psychology and medicine.
Mars in Pisces is not a highly sexed sign. Certainly, you are romantic, but in order for you to be satisfied, the greater need is emotional rather than physical. You're very idealistic about love and relationships. In many ways, you view of sexual matters is more like a fantasy with such high expectations that it is rarely achieved in real life.

Behavioural Studies?
Suddenly, world and especially Malaysians are shocked with Sufiah Yusuf i.e. the maths prodigy who entered Oxford at 13 who is getting hooked with her current profession as: a HOOKER. In fact, most articles and feedbacks I read pitied her chosen path. Or even they blame her tortured upbringing by her claimed-expertise father in accelerated learning technique. But, she is 23 now. Theoretically, she is wise enough to decide for her life path.The news on http://www.notw.co.uk/ wrote that:
Calling herself Shilpa Lee, the former child prodigy still juggles with figures on a hookers' website, describing herself as a "very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5'5" tall—available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm."
She says she is a "sexy, smart student" who prefers "older gentlemen"— but a former pal who has witnessed her downfall told us: "It is all desperately heartbreaking.
"With her amazing brain she should be able to make money any way she wants. But instead her life has spiralled completely out of control."
Life has never quite added up for Sufiah. Her descent into prostitution in Salford, Manchester, is the latest in a long line of tragedies to have engulfed her since the sunny day when she posed with her university mortar board for the world's press outside prestigious St Hilda's College.
Our shock revelations today come in the week her domineering dad Farooq was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in maths.
And he was always at the root of all her troubles— even as she passed the further maths A-Level she needed for entry to Oxford at the age of 12. In those days Sufia was a strict Muslim child who prayed five times a day and was subjected to her father's famous Accelerated Learning Technique.
Her days involved stretching and breathing exercises in freezing rooms to keep her brain attentive.
Sufiah would then study hard and be forced to play tennis with just as much intensity as fanatical Farooq drove her on. The routine was so effective Sufiah was seeded number eight in the country for under 21s.
But three years into Oxford, the 15-year-old sparked a massive police hunt after running away.
Well, I would rather say --- her characteristics are built NOT on job and living skills orientations. So, she does not know how to utilize her ability to the full use of her priceless life. What she knows is that, her role in this life is to STUDY... and her next task is to excel in the course-examination. Indeed, her father claimed that Sufiah's genius is not gifted but as an effect to his learning system is quite TRUE. She just not trainned to diverse her special gift outside the university acquirement excelling system.
And as for her interest of choosing to be a HOOKER.. well, I would rather say: Being brought up with no junk tv program or noisy music before entering oxford, once she was in love and married she discovered something out of maths more to social availability never were taught to her knowledge. And knowing that sex service is an easy job to deliver, she has found her long-lost amusement compared to her upbringing lifestyle. So, she just chose it out of diverse aspects and teachings that she should have ever embraced.
Really pity for her.

How to Read a Facial Expression?
Feelings are sometimes expressed through different facil expression. The following figure shows different usage of feelings through facial expression

Through DataFace website, it says that Expression implies a revelation about the characteristics of a person, a message about something internal to the expresser. In the context of the face and nonverbal communication, expression usually implies a change of a visual pattern over time, but as a static painting can express a mood or capture a sentiment, so too the face can express relatively static characteristics (sometimes called physiognomy). The concept of facial expression, thus, includes:
- characteristic of a person that is represented, i.e., the signified;
- visual configuration that represents this characteristic, i.e., the signifier;
- the physical basis of this appearance, or sign vehicle, e.g., the skin, muscle movements, fat, wrinkles, lines, blemishes, etc.; and
- typically, some person or other perceiver that perceives and interprets the signs.
However, this is totally different when we discuss on Face Reading. Face Reading is like undergoing occult studies on predicting ones personality through it face features.
Lin through her website said that face can be read like a map. Physiognomy is also called personology. She also outlining the fact of reading face is for relationship, entertainment and personality. Visit her link to read more.
The chinese have their own long-time studies on face reading. I am depicting from Chi of Earth site here which displaying the auspicious and inauspicious types of face:
For the ears
For the eyebrowsAuspicious: Above the eyebrow level; long earlobes; flat against head; wide door.
Inauspicious: Small earlobes; leaning forward; narrow door.
Auspicious: Dark, thick, long; smooth and orderly; high above eyes.
Inauspicious: Sparse, thin, pale, short; chaotic; close to eyes.
For the nose
Auspicious: High, straight bridge; big, round tip; full, fleshy wings; invisible nostrils.
Inauspicious: Low, crooked, hooked or bumpy bridge; pointed or upturned tip; thin wings; visible nostrils.
For the mouth
Auspicious: Rosy colored; thick, broad squared shape;
symmetrically balanced; lips closed.
Inauspicious: White, dark colored; thin; a small shape; symmetrically unbalanced; lips opened.
For the chin
Auspicious: Full, fleshy, broad & long.
Inauspicious: Thin, short, pointed or receded, dimpled or
broken.
For the eyes
Auspicious: Large size; wide-set; dark pupils with silvery whites.
Inauspicious: Small; close-set; small pupils and discolored whites.
Definitely, these are not even all. The studies on face reading and its connection to heart-and-mind is more than physically seen. I am going to find more.

Love and Reproduction

Well, probably besides its scientific explaination through human biological factors and cycles, sometimes this subject is also appear blended with exceptional myths and historical legends.
For example, I found this article about aphrodite (Venus) the Greek
goddess of love, beauty, fertility, procreation, sexuality, seduction, and
harmony which says that Aphrodite's seductions and temptations were a constant
source of pleasure and danger for both gods and mortals. Those who fell under
her spell were robbed of their wits and enticed into actions they would not
normally take when in full possession of their rational faculties. This
combination of pleasure and danger was crucial to the nature of Aphrodite as a
goddess. It may also be a reason why Greek and Roman conceptions of seduction
were treated in such a negative light by early Christian leaders.
For the Greeks, however, this contradictory nature of seduction and
love were simply a part of the nature of life. Aphrodite's dominion over harmony
was, in part, because the expression of sexuality was necessary for both
domestic and social harmony. Cults dedicated to Aphrodite could be found all
over Greece, and for the most part local cults honored her role in the process
of human reproduction, a vital aspect of any community. Whereas the Christians
attempted to suppress sexuality as much as possible, the ancient Greeks accepted
it for what it was and sought to integrate it into their belief system.
Well, whatever that means...
In Islam the teachings of reproduction is beautiful. Reproduction is a healthy soul exercise for marriage life. Reproduction satisfies the lust of a man with his legal wife and brings contentment, completion to their lives.
People have also related this kind of relationship with inner-self chemistry attraction.
Through writer Kanika Goswami, she gave her view in The Physics and
Chemistry of Love, she quoted that Love, like all things bound to the
universe, is non existent without some amount of physics and chemistry attached
to it. As a scientist cynically pointed out, cupid’s arrows would never have
been effective if they had not been first dipped in one unromantically named
chemical- phenylethylamine.
She added that nor would the human body’s reaction have given us dramas like
Romeo and Juliet, if oxytocin did not have its way. Together these two form
the chemistry of love. The common symptoms of love, including sweaty palms,
shaky knees and general restlessness, are caused by a natural chemical,
Phenylethylamine (commonly dubbed the `love molecule'). Its release from the
brain can be triggered from deceptively simple actions like the meeting of
the eyes or touching of the hands. Heady emotions, racing pulses and heavy
breathing results, and all these are (unfortunately) clinically explained as
an overdose of this chemical. A very interesting thing is that chocolate is
known to have very high level of this chemical…perhaps that’s the reason why
it is considered a perfect gift for valentine. Or for your sweetheart.
Well, either we believe or not is one question. Either we understand it or not is another.
However, I believe love and reproduction is also part of human necessity. It maintains the human health cycle and live motivation in various ways.

Palmistry

Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe that your fate is written?
But do you believe that you can change your fate/ destiny?
And do you believe that fate/ destiny would not be changed until you change?
Well, some people read the palms to find the future predictions.
What do the palm have?
This kind of study is called palmistry.
Palmistry according to accesspositive is reading the overall shape and formation of the hands which is one of the first clues to the character and destiny.
- The square hand identifies the practical person, someone forceful, purposeful, and capable of achieving success.
- The tapering hand is likely to belong to an artist, a convivial, enthusiastic and sensitive soul.
- The spade-like hand appears to be in motion even at rest and denotes an energetic owner with need for positive actions.
- The pointed hand belongs to the idealist, the sometimes impractical lovers of beauty.
- The long hand, knotty at the joints, is that of a thinker, or philosopher.
Most people have a mixed hand, displaying features of two or more classic shapes.
Besides shape, there is also flexibility to be considered. Moderate flexibility tells of a reasonable personality, while great flexibility indicates unconventionability, and great stiffness shows stubbornness.
Free Palm Reading is also provided online. This site says that:
- to predict your success potential - see your thumbs!
- to know your lucky nature - from the gambler's hand!
- to know your best mate
- to know your best career
- to know your romance nature
- to know your artistic nature
- to know your leadership quality
- etc...
If you have a facebook account, you can try its free application on palmistry reading at this site http://apps.facebook.com/palm-reading/ . But, remember to login first!
Historically, Palmistry, also known as chiromancy, is the practice of telling fortunes from the lines, marks, and patterns on the hands, particularly the palms.
Palmistry was practiced in many ancient cultures, such as India, China and Egypt. The first book on the subject appeared in the 15th century. The term chiromancy comes from the Greek word for hand (cheir).
Palmistry was used during the middle ages to detect witches. It was believed that certain spots on the hand indicated one had made a pact with the Devil. Palmistry was condemned by the Catholic Church but in the 17th century it was taught at several German universities (Pickover, 64). Britain outlawed palmistry in the 18th century. It is popular enough in America in the 20th century to deserve its own book in the Complete Idiot's Guide series.
According to Ann Fiery (The Book of Divination), if you are right handed, your left hand indicates inherited personality traits and your right hand indicates your individuality and fulfillment of potential. The palmist claims to be able to read the various lines on your hand. These lines are given names like the life line, the head line, the heart line, the Saturne line. The life line supposedly indicates physical vitality, the head line intellectual capacity, the heart line emotional nature, etc.
So, is it true and reliable or not... is actually depends on your own believe. Don't you think so?

Dreams, dreams, dreams.... baby!

Through Dream Dictionary website; it is providing the answers we are looking for regarding all those images which make little apparent sense while we sleep. It puts the types of dreams under six (6) major categories:
- Animals
- Calendar(s)/ time
- Body parts
- Color
- Seasons
- Health/Sex
The site organizes such that each category is referred according to its A-Z subject of your dreams.
Other site like The Meaning of Dream stated that if you dream that you
- are being chased, then you might be trying to avoid something.
- are being naked, then it says that in one aspect this is a dream of contrary, and that is if the nakedness was your own, you can expect a stroke of money luck or an improvement in circumstances; but dreaming of others being naked suggests that you will inadvertently uncover a deception within your close circle.
- are about falling, then A very common dream action generally symbolic of some basic fear in the dreamer's life, such as fear of a moral lapse, job failure, sexual inadequacy, loss of status, etc.; however, the prophetic meaning of this dream is, strangely, very similar in that it indicates setbacks but modified by the details of its action. If, in your dream, you fell a long distance, you can expect the reverses to be general and fairly severe; however, if you landed without hurting yourself, they will be upsetting but quite temporary...
- are about losing property, then the site discusses that if the thing lost is an inanimate object, what does it symbolize for you? Examples would be jewellery, favoured clothes, or pictures and family heirlooms. In losses of this kind, the indication may be that you are nervous about losing an expensive or important new object in your life.
- are about sex, then it says that it is very difficult to name just a few possible interpretations for this dream. It is so complex that interpretations vary with each dreamer and situation in the dream. A sexual dream may be about physical pleasure, but it may also be about power, control, manipulation, virility, and effectiveness. It may be a form of wish fulfillment or a memory, or compensation for a lack in daily life...
To discuss but not a few. People have their believe and motivation about dreaming matter. Be it for good or for bad omen. Otherwise, we can find numerous website highlighting the interpretations of dreams:
- HiddenMeaning of Dreams
- Meaning of Dreams
- Dream meanings and symbolism
- Kelab Tafsir Mimpi
- Primbon Tafsir Mimpi (ala Jawa)
