The capital of India, New Delhi saw the mass wedding of 30,000 couples assembled together to marry on one of the most astrologically auspicious days of the year on December 13 2006. to maximize the good omens for 2007. The whole city has been awash with music festivities and celebrations for several days, and this was even mentioned in the Indian parliament.

There are said to be 10,000 practicing astrologers in the U.S.A with a clientele of over one million, many of these are politicians, stock exchange analysts and other educated professionals, yet in the west astrology is ridiculed by many in academia. So while accepting that newspaper horoscopes are not to be taken seriously, in fact they are not even horoscopes they are sun sign solarscopes, and traditionally are written by an in house journalist with time on their hands, and this is the crux of the problem, many of the books and particularly magazines on these subjects are written not by practitioners but by journalists, who know about writing but not the subject matter, and people get turned off by this.

So are you ready ? P-5 x E=3 x H they tell us can predict our happiness quotient. Just like an astrologers chart, but this year has brought conflict and argument to psychology also.

So what will 2007 bring? Added together the numbers make a 9, the number of Mars the god of war, Britain is ruled by Mars, Of this Shakespeare said; "Oh England thou seat of Mars" and this year has the omens of great bloodshed, With its nucleus in April. Astrologically the new moon on December 20 2006 falls in Sagittarius with a Pluto conjunction promising threats of coming violence, We must be aware that as 9 is the number of man, greed and materialism,
