3. Graphology or Handwriting Analysis is not related to Astrology. It’s a pseudoscience: there is a lot of science in it
but a lot of pseudos practise it. The best thing would be for you to learn it yourself and not consult commercial chaps. The practitioners claim more than there is without proof, which is why it is not totally scientific.
Some of my findings in this subject are:
Optimists write with a forward slant and pessimists with a backward. The practical types write upright.
Organised types write neatly, legibly with ‘t’s crossed and ‘i’s dotted.
Creative types write differently each time.
Your handwriting takes its final shape somewhere in your twenties.
Accountants cross their ‘7’s with a line to differentiate it from a ‘1’
Engineers or those who have suffered from an engineering education write their ‘4’s differently, like ‘4’s in print.
Ear-oriented people, as opposed to eye-oriented ones, misspell words but they do it in a nice phonetic way.
Illiterate people have to learn to write.
4. Face Reading is an interesting practice. It is related to the ancient Indian art of reading a person’s personality from the shape of his or her body. For free lessons in face reading, type the words “face reading” with the inverted commas into a search engine field. There are so many schools, ranging from Chinese face-reading for health purposes to Vedic multipurpose face-reading. Suffering from sensory overload, I have only two words to say on this subject: No comments!
5. The tarot is a western tool of prognostication and is very useful to read your current situation in life and meditate on any steps you intend to take. Cheiro, who wrote popular books on palmistry and numerology, links the science of numbers to the cards in the tarot.
Here, let me draw a line to put occult sciences in two categories. This is based on the source of the inputs for findings. The first group has astrology, numerology, face reading, palmistry and others. The second group has the tarot, I Ching, crystal balls, flame
readings, ouija boards, runes, stichomancy, etc. Get it? The first group relies less on intuition whereas the second can’t do without it. The clue is that
randomness exists in the second group; data isn’t fixed. Somebody stop me, I’m calling the first group fixed occult and the second random occult.
Randomness allows you to tap into the workings of the universe. Randomness gives magic a chance. Magic will decide what cards you get, how the reader reads them, and what insights you get. You tap into your superconsciousness, if it exists.
Have you tried the I Ching? It is the best link into the innerworkings of your mind. You take three coins and toss them six times, recording the heads-tails combo. Then you refer the page pertaining to that combination and unlock your subconscious. Look for free readings on the net, but one advice: Don’t use the computer to generate the random combos. Take three coins and do it manually; then get the meanings for the readings from the comp. Now we have more things to thank the Chinese for! And you thought they only made cheap electronic toys!
