Greek coffee fortune telling _ Greek coffee fortune telling

In English, astrology and astronomy have the same root astro. Astronomy and astrology can also be well combined-astronomy can calculate all the constellations in the sky when a person is born, as well as the positions of the sun, moon and planets. Or, one's astrolabe. The astrolabe is the beginning of astrology.

Astrology sprouted around 2500 BC. Its core is about the human soul, which is the connection between celestial bodies and personality-the background is the Greek philosophy's questioning of the universe and soul for two hundred years in a row.

No constellations, no greetings

"Are you a Virgo? No wonder it's so clean and elegant. "

"You really are a gorgeous Gemini! This skirt suits you so well that others can't wear such a jumping pattern. "

"Aquarius? Me too! Fantasy constellation Do you also like to watch Haruki Murakami's 1Q84? "

Such conversations are becoming more and more common among people who meet for the first time. Dinner parties will talk to new friends about constellations, and strangers will also ask each other about constellations during the trip. It has become an indispensable knowledge in urban interpersonal communication. A person who knows nothing about constellations may be out at the beginning of the conversation.

Whether the constellation is meaningful or not is put aside for the time being. It has become a hot topic largely because it is the best flavoring agent in interpersonal communication. Emotional topics are the most appropriate to open the communication situation. Talking about literature is too melodramatic, talking about sports is too boring, talking about people around you is too careless, talking about stars is too vulgar, and the information is low. Constellations include each other's personality types, life preferences and even emotional needs. As soon as the constellation comes out, these secret information are poured out in elegant and civilized conversations. The scale is appropriate, and it can be advanced and retreated, deep and shallow, and at the same time it can very close each other's private distance.

The charm of the constellation also pervades the workplace. When recruiting new employees, many bosses will ask the horoscope to see if this person matches their horoscope and is suitable for this position. "Virgo is an excellent candidate for a secretary", "Gemini's changeable personality suits the innovative style of our media", and Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn are pioneers that leaders like.

Having a good horoscope is not only helpful to the workplace, but also can add points in blind date. In a dating program on a TV station, after a newly appeared man smiled and reported his identity as a Cancer man, 24 female guests screamed and immediately turned on the blue light-everyone believed that Cancer would be a good man at home. And the famous Korean movie star Rain's cancer constellation has also become an important selling point for him to represent the image of a new and good man.

The constellation masters can be seen everywhere on TV and publications. By analyzing the daily fortune of each month, the constellation culture is entertained and interpreted into a contemporary yellow calendar. Love, home ownership, career choice, business, fertility, even cosmetic surgery and facial growth have all become hot topics in astrology. In Europe, constellation analysis is also closely related to the election of political figures. The election is hot, and astrologers will follow suit to predict who will be elected, which is very popular among the public.

When the constellation is marked,

Constellation culture has penetrated into everyone's life in full swing, and negative effects have followed.

"Kao, the man in Pisces. Burn him! Both Pisces have delusions of victimization. "

"Your boyfriend's moon falls in Gemini. Forget it, playboy." ……

The intersection is not deep, even we have never met. Some people are simply rejected by constellations.

People who love and believe in constellations abound. Xiaoli is an editor and has just entered a female website. When she entered this new astrological circle, she felt that there were always several colleagues around her who were inexplicably indifferent to her. She tried to get close to them, but the small circle always kept a safe distance from her. She couldn't bear it, and finally one day she asked one of her colleagues, "Why do you always dislike me?" The colleague's answer made her laugh: "Because you are a Scorpio, it is definitely not a good thing." In the constellation culture, Scorpio is generally regarded as "harsh, critical and vengeful". Xiaoli didn't do anything, so she was labeled "difficult to get along with" for no reason.

At work, many people will choose a constellation that matches them. For example, Leo will not choose a Leo as an assistant, because the lion will not always be willing to live under the hands of others; Pisces female bosses are afraid that their aura is not enough, and they are resistant to being superiors and subordinates with Aries female colleagues.

Constellation labels will cause strong psychological hints to the parties, and even change and reshape a person's fate and personality. According to psychological experiments, all the students in a class praised an ordinary girl as extremely beautiful. After a semester, the girl really became attractive.

After the national astrology entered a frenzy, amateur astrologers labeled others and themselves. Cancer will insist that "introversion, shyness and quietness" are its own characteristics. Under such psychological hints, competition will naturally be avoided, and the result is often missed opportunities. If a Libra boy believes that "playboy, fickle and unstable" is in our nature, it is difficult for him not to cheat.

Why do we long for the guidance of starlight?

The relationship between man and the stars is far and near. It is tens of thousands of light years away from us, but it is close to our every night and dawn. Looking up at the stars is the habitual action of every generation of philosophers. Can these stardust and starlight really affect the fate of every individual like ants on the earth?

Life is limited and fate is changeable. Especially in this period of lack of faith, our hearts yearn for eternal starlight to guide us in the turbulent and complicated life and let us find the right path with nowhere to go.

Maybe it's a constellation, maybe it's a blood type, maybe it's the Book of Changes, maybe it's tarot or a handful of coffee grounds. We always need something. The popularity of constellation theory has spiritual needs, empirical verification effect and modern business. In the modern civilized society where rationality and science are paramount, both the media and metaphysicians know that "unknowable" has strong psychological appeal.

But is astrology a science? Should astrology guide our life? We are both enthusiastic and skeptical. "I can't say that astrology is the truth. This kind of thing perceived by the mind is only known to me. Only when the heart is connected, can my language reach the state of touching your heart. What touches the heart is the energy of the universe. This has not been scientifically tested and quantified. " Ingrid Zhang, an astrologer who has studied constellations for more than ten years, is not bothered by these arguments. "I used to think that science is the only truth in the universe, but one day I realized that human survival, mind and spirit are not the only things that science can explain and solve." Therefore, apart from science, religion, art, psychology and astrology all contribute to a complete understanding of life.

As Heidegger's ontology said, the truth of astrology is not important, but as long as it exists, you can't beat it for thousands of years, which means that human beings can't exist only as pure scientific materials. Our hearts need to be soothed. Experts are not talking about constellations, but selling chicken soup for the soul to nourish the dull and pale hearts of urbanites with spirituality.

When fate is entrusted to the "master"

Astrologer Sasha has a rule: help people look at the astrolabe, only analyze personality, not judge fate; People who have a bad attitude and are obsessed with good or bad luck will not show it. Astrology is a bridge to make friends and communicate with her. I have studied constellations for five or six years, so I have made a group of like-minded friends. "Friends who were originally neglected to contact, in order to understand their astrolabe, contacted me more frequently. In the process of exploring the astrolabe, people who originally protected themselves may also share their distress and confusion with me. " Because of a small astrolabe, our hearts are getting closer and closer.

However, when astrology is equated with personal destiny, "astrologer" becomes a strange authoritative symbol in interpersonal relationships. "If you know a person (astrologer), you can get rid of any girl", "Remember, if you don't trust a person, you won't be happy" ... Such remarks can attract many young people who are at a loss and in trouble.

Lu Han has studied astrology for five years. She looks like a fairy. In her name, there is an astrology club that regularly discusses the astrolabe. At that time, a large group of people who were curious about fate or were at a low ebb, known or unknown, would ask her for advice with their astrolabes.

Lu Han, who is tightly surrounded in the middle, points out everyone's future: your husband is a typical divorce plate; Have a baby? I think it is difficult for you to get married; It's not surprising that your boyfriend is married. The astrolabe shows that the love pattern in your life is unreasonable. ...

The sentenced people have different ideas-the "mistress" who is struggling to break up said with a wry smile: forget it, make do, it's life anyway; Since divorce will happen sooner or later, it should be sooner rather than later. Those who fight to defend their marriage are also disheartened about improving their relationship.

People who are predicted to encounter misfortune are always in fear as if a sword of Damocles is hanging from their heads. Boyfriends and husbands who were taken as spectators were also implicated for no reason and had nowhere to complain.

Lu Han is such a "grunt" that Shasha can't agree. She even met such an "interesting thing": an astrologer who often appeared on various websites and magazines as a "master" and often pointed out other people's lives, but missed the bottom among his peers: Hey, help me look at the astrolabe. I dare not look at it myself. ...

How destructive is the "authority" with a little knowledge to its fans? Ingrid Zhang's voice rose a few decibels because of excitement-

She once received a call for help from a girl late at night. The girl felt that she couldn't live any longer, and broke up with her boyfriend, and her body was very painful. She was worried that she had cancer, just as another constellation predicted that she would have a disaster this month. It's a disaster, but it's better to commit suicide! Before she died, she found Ingrid Zhang to check it again.

"This is shocking!" Ingrid Zhang told the girl firmly: No one can know your fate! Astrology is not used to judge death and disaster, but to help people grow up internally!

In this era, astrology is so popular because people are so restless and need comfort in their hearts; It is precisely because people are so impetuous that few people are willing to calm down and study a subject, so that "masters" can enjoy incredible authority in the crowd.

Astrologers should have the feelings of psychological counselors.

"If astrology is limited to predicting fate, it can't be a discipline of human mind, but only a threat." Ingrid Zhang said. Xiaoyun, on the other hand, had a depressing experience of being "intimidated".

At first, I was looking for astrology, and I was at a low ebb, full of anxiety about my life and future. "Alas, this pattern on your chart shows that it is difficult for you to have children." An astrologer who is well-known in the circle of friends predicted this.

Well, before you have a lover, I warn you that you will not have children. Xiao Yun, who is already sensitive, is even more depressed. Two years later, Xiaoyun was pregnant. In her joy, she suddenly recalled the astrologer's prediction and began to worry. Her husband is not interested in constellations, and he feels inexplicably cursed, which is quite unpleasant.

I met a famous astrologer by chance. He looked at the same astrolabe and shook his head at the previous assertion that there were no children and no women: from the whole astrolabe, I didn't see any signs of no children and no women. Moreover, there may be a smart and independent child who is deeply influenced by his father. Irresponsible prediction is too tragic for a person who pays attention to family and children!

Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did she get a better prediction, but the experience of alternating sadness and joy made her put down her persistence in exploring her destiny. "I don't know whether astrology can objectively predict fate, but subjectively, how many people have the ability to fully understand fate? Believe in fate and blindly listen to other people's hints, it is better to believe in the' law of attraction' and be positive and happy. "

The rational and non-blind attitude of tourists is what American professional astrologer David R. Railey likes to see. "It is an abuse of astrology to judge people's fate." He studied astrology for 40 years and insisted that "astrologers must have a sense of responsibility and be humble to life at the same time, and don't think they know everything."

There was once a visitor from David Reilly, whose star map and his own situation showed that he was unlikely to get married. Lei Rui won't say: Your chart shows that it is difficult to get married. Like a friend, he seriously discussed with each other: Do you really want to get married? What are the reasons behind these ideas? How to improve it will be better ... Lei Ruijian believes that if this person can improve his consciousness, when he has a healthy marriage in his heart, he will certainly attract a beautiful partner outside.

Lei Rui's astrolabe is not a map of absolute destiny, but an expression of people's development potential and possible challenges. Every map is like our first breath. Every breath will grow and develop. Life is a process of continuous learning and growth. Fate and free will are a dynamic relationship, and they are intertwined and influence each other.

How to give people the ability to solve problems is the goal that serious astrologers such as Lei Rui and Ingrid Zhang have been interested in and striving for.

"A true astrologer is a spiritual explorer. He/she uses his/her knowledge to help others tap their potential and make life more complete. It's not that I know your fate, know your secret and get some kind of privilege. " Ingrid Zhang was originally a skeptic of astrology, and her study in London Astrology Institute and 14 years' experience made her awe of astrology.

"The astrologer's knowledge and purity of mind determine the level of interpretation." She is not limited to a small astrolabe, but also to science, philosophy, art, history and myth. Her astrological life has been nourished by more abundant external dabbling: "Facing a person's astrolabe, I just see the cosmic energy dancing here. But this man has' spirit'. Once the aura is born, his life can cross his/her astrolabe. "

How do we face astrology?

Faced with many phenomena of astrology abuse, American professional astrologer David Reilly believes that it is the key to improve the public's astrology awareness. He gave three suggestions-

1. The public must believe in themselves and their own judgments, instead of putting their own character and destiny in the judgment of any "master";

2. Don't think that fate is predestined, you can definitely do something that changes your life;

3. Society should develop the professional standards of astrologers. In order to better protect the public, Atlanta, USA has formulated a series of rules and guidelines in the past 40 years. Astrologers must pass professional examination, professional evaluation and professional certification before they can obtain a license to serve the public.

Observing oneself is the first task of astrologers.

With the development of astrology today, what is your definition?

Ingrid Zhang: Astrology is a modern psychological astrology, which combines ancient astrology with Jung's analytical psychology. It combines astrology with spiritual development, leading individuals to realize themselves, develop their potential and build a complete life.

Astrology is particularly active in the current social field and interpersonal relationships. Making friends, making friends and recruiting are all related to astrology. How to treat this national astrology craze?

Many people don't know much about astrology, which is very entertaining and superficial. I wrote an article called "Don't discriminate against constellations". Each constellation has its own advantages and shadows; There are still many people who think that astrology is fortune telling. In fact, this is a subject about the relationship between man and the universe, which helps people find their place in the universe and society, constantly tap their potential, and be less entangled.

There are various astrology masters among the people, and there are many fans and enthusiasts. However, 100 people play astrology. How many people are spiritual and insist on studying a good pattern? Just like in the field of psychology, there are not many good counselors. Applying the level of half a can of water to help and influence others may cause lethality?

Astrology is against personality cult. As an authority, a word may do great harm to others. I won't assert events. Because cosmic energy shows many possibilities, people have many choices. Astrology focuses on inner growth, perhaps combining events. But appearance only works on your inner self. Astrologers and psychologists are the same. They don't tell you the answer in a word, but grow with you like crutches. My horoscope card is: don't let the planet limit you, in the end, you have to surpass your planet!

The astrologer's guidance to the public depends on his own knowledge pattern and what kind of mind he has.

The most important thing for astrologers is to look at themselves. It is very dangerous to think that you are in control of your destiny and are deified by the public. It is dangerous to the public and dangerous to oneself. Ego is an obstacle to everyone's life growth, and astrologers also have egos. Once you are self-expanding and don't pay attention to your inner self, you will not grow. Where can you lead others?

I have my own set of "astrology philosophy": I have my own courses to practice in this life, pay close attention to my inner self and understand the meaning of my life. In all sense, I must first be a happy person, and my happiness, light and wisdom can illuminate the people around me.
