Thank Your Lucky Stars!

Ok so being that I work in Advertising I have to go through a lot of newspapers regularly. I dont pay much attention to my horoscope (Cancer - 13th July) usually but today I decided to post up a selection of mine from different Irish newspapers.

Irish Daily Mirror:

You tend to take things personally and this has a knock-on effect on your relationships. Today's link between the Moon and Chiron allows you to find a sense of perceptive that is very welcome. The two of you have a differnt way of approaching things and this can interfere with your relationship. To get to the heart of what October is about call XXXXXXXXX.

The Star

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he'd learned in seven years.” So said Mark Twain and you can relate to his wisdom.


The Daily Mail

HUNGER is the best condiment. When we want something badly, we forgive it a thousand faults. Our critical faculties get in the way of a much deeper need. Obviously, we ahve to decide if something is dangerous, poisonous or compromising. But if all of those fundamental checks have been made, the rest is academic. You have an opportunity to reclaim something you very much want. Is the situation ideal? Are there likely to be a few 'consequences'? Who cares?

Herald AM

Make good links those you haven't seen for a while. Be patient when trying to get tasks finished. Stay on top of your commitments. But shake things up a bit! Joy & happiness should be written all over your face soon.

Metro

You have such strong negotiation skills - how come you never use them on yourself? Getting your work-life balance right requires both sides of you to compromise. Work on that.

The Sun

The clash between Mars and the Moon will change the way you look at life - so the bigger the challenge, the better you will do. The truth alone is not enough and you need to add tact when you are asked to give and honest opinion. Single? The initial K is a hot love clue.


Nothing much I can take from any of them but then again I think they are aimed at people who feel they need direction - I'm drivin' this car!

The 7th World Ghost Convention: 2007

Friday, October 26th @ 8 p.m.
Cork City Gaol Heritage Centre,
Sunday's Well, Cork City.

To Be Officially Opened By The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Cork,
Cllr. Donal Counihan & Lady Mayoress, Breda Counihan

Reported sightings of ghosts and spirits are only the tip of the iceberg as many people are afraid, ashamed, and embarrassed to come forward for fear of not being taken seriously.
For this reason, the World Ghost Convention was established to help those who have had supernatural experiences by raising public awareness, highlighting the fact that they are not alone in having such experiences. In addition, this unique international Ghost Convention provides an ideal opportunity for people to express their views on the paranormal by
giving them a platform to share their own experiences with like-minded Ghost and Spirit enthusiasts.



Established in the year 2000, the goal of this unique annual World Ghost Convention is:

To give people who have experienced supernatural occurrences the opportunity to share their own personal supernatural experiences if they so wish as well as hear firsthand the accounts of others that echo similar experiences.
___

To give people who are curious about the supernatural in general an opportunity to hear a variety of supernatural topics explored by speakers from different backgrounds and professions.
___

To get a clearer picture of the supernatural by touching upon a variety of
different aspects of the supernatural from different viewpoints.



The panel of guest speakers for the evening are:


Kathleen Mueting, Spiritual Advisor, Healer, Clairvoyant, Motivational Speaker, Author & Teacher
Have there been 'accidental' meetings in your life? Have you met someone out of the blue who gave you information you needed at the time? In a lecture entitled "Demystifying The Spirit World - Practical Applications In Our Everyday Lives", Kathleen Mueting will explore Spirit Guides and Angels who are there for us and provide examples of how these 'Invisible Helpers' work miracles in our lives.

John Collins, Psychic / Spiritualist
Drawing from his own personal history, John will speak about his everyday experiences with ghosts and outline his method of communicating with them. He will also go through the different reasons why spirits wish to communicate with us.

Dr. Margaret Humphreys
Folklore & Ethnology Department, University College Cork
In the lecture titled "Seeing is Believing?", Dr. Humphreys will outline and discuss the question of belief and disbelief in ghost stories regarding supernatural sightings from both a positive and critical perspective.

Christina Linehan, Clinical Hypnotherapist/Psychotherapist/Reiki Master
American born Christina moved to Ireland from the East Coast in 2002 and along with Analysis and Suggestion Therapy, specialises in past life regression and regression for alien encounters. Christina will discuss expanding our definition and awareness of reality and describe how her own life was enriched by the amazing metaphysical insights her children shared with her. She will also share photos of orbs, spirits and a portal.

Helen Barrett, the White Witch of the Isles
Internationally renowned for her psychic abilities, Helen will discuss the reasons why ghosts, intentionally or unintentionally violate the laws of physicalisation and the consequences of such violation.


There'll be plenty more going on all weekend for all ages and it promises to be well worth going along to.
