If You Were Born September 24 – October 23, You Are a Libra

You Are a Libra

Libra

The Zodiac Sign of Libra — September 24 – October 23

The most balanced personality, the power of unearthly charm and easy­going stick-to-it-iveness, combined with a deep need to please others, that must describe Libra! Refined, meticulous and thoughtful, yet able to chart a steady course and reach their goals, the Libran is soft, ­likable, yet ­curiously sturdy and resilient.

Maddeningly, he or she can also be indecisive, unable to face confrontation, and so dependent on love as to lose themselves and to be controlled or used by unscrupulous mates and ­children. Above all else, this sign needs trustworthy, symbiotic ­relationships, ones in which order and harmony ­prevail.

Libra is looking for the perfect mate and is usually spoiled for choice. No other sign is so softly refined, ­so ­elegant and poised, and all are well-famed for pleasing ­features and graceful manners. Certain members of this sign are absolutely irresistible, the gentle homme and femme fatales of the zodiac. Love at first sight? The object of devotion is probably a Libran. Their pleasing natures are softly addicting and the smitten will pursue him or her to the ends of the earth seeking favors. Read More →

What makes people fascinated by Horoscopes?

city dwellers

City Dwellers

A recent survey conducted by YouGovUS asked people about their belief in their horoscopes. Only 6% of those surveyed said they read their horoscope every day. 45% said they never do. Interestingly, there was a direct correlation between where they live and their responses! City dwellers responded that they did indeed take their horoscopes seriously; 59% compared to 41% who did not. People not living in cities – suburbanites – were the opposite; 65% did not believe in horoscopes compared to only 35% who did take them seriously. Interestingly that turned out to be the most important factor determining people’s beliefs in horoscopes.

Even more interesting, in our opinion, is this fact: 41% of those surveyed have looked up their astrological compatibility with a potential mate. ❤ So, even though many profess they are non-believers when it comes to romance and love, many are still consulting their horoscopes, and that includes some of those who don’t live in the city!

New Personality Portraits Book Series

YEAR OF THE HORSE

2015 is the YEAR OF THE HORSE

EASTmeetsWEST Astrological Personality Portraits, a series of twelve books, came from a commissioned artwork project that took over three years to complete. It gives the viewer a contemporary perspective of the creativity of six artists – John D. Abel, Ken Goldman, Analise Rigan, Andre Rushing, Thierry Chatelain, and Stephanie Goldman – through the popular and historic astrological framework of the twelve Eastern Chinese animal years of birth combined with the twelve Western zodiac signs. It has been a challenge to these visual artists to pique the interest of the patrons of fine art, as well as the general public, through the appeal of this allegorical imagery in astrological personality portraitures.
