This Magic Moment

Greetings, Gifted Reader.

abracadabra!

Magic is defined as something supernatural. It’s like when you wish you had, say, a new job and a friend calls out of the blue to tell you her boss is hiring a person to do exactly what you do and she recommended you. Now, that’s magic.

Generally a good thing, magic happens unexpectedly, but it can also be the manifestation of something we have wished for. What is magical to you? What would you wish for if you could have anything given to you—hocus pocus, abracadabra--with no strings?

We’ve all heard beauty pageant contestants proclaim they would wish for “world peace”, but what if the magic you seek is of a more personal nature? Would you wish for something like a new house or car? Or, would your desire be for something that would improve your physical or mental prowess? Would you want a new body, a new way of thinking, or a totally new feeling about life?

Magic appears every single day in our lives, if we’re paying attention. Is discovering Quan Yin in the middle of Chinatown Honolulu more magical than finding King Tut smack dab in Seattle’s ID?

Creativity is magic, too. Think about art forms like anime and cosplay. Sure, those may be just costumes someone’s wearing, but it somehow transforms them into a real character. Magic.

How To Win At Craps With Astrology

Greetings, Gifted Reader.

Who among us doesn’t love to gamble and win? What if that could be guaranteed through Astrology? Would you take the time to learn how?

Jim with fellow Astrologer, Connie

This month’s featured Metaphysician is Jim Clark, a fellow Astrologer from our group that meets regularly in Seattle. Below is Jim’s story in his own words. Note that Jim is a Leo, the sign that rules gambling:

On the 21st of August, I visited a gambling casino in spite of transiting Venus in my 12th house opposite my 6th house Saturn. It turned out to be lucky for me, and most players, that evening. My theory was that Neptune was in the Nadir and would cause the influence of the number 7 to diminish a bit. My concern was that the Moon may influence sevens (according to some Astrologers), but it was buried in the Nadir with Neptune. I believe that the Moon may have more influence on the number 2. I won over $60 the day before on the craps table, but won over twice that on the 21st. Most of my money was made by place betting the numbers 6 and 8 (Venus and Saturn), but with Mercury and Mars in the 9th, I did win those a few times on the 5 and 9 when they were the point.

With some of my winnings, I bought 2 craps books from Barnes and Noble. In one of the books, I discovered the story of Patricia Demauro and, out of curiosity, decided to run an event chart for her record-making roll. I have attached it, as well as a gif image, that shows all the crap possibilities. The story goes…

>>It sounds like a homework problem out of a high school math book: What is the probability of rolling a pair of dice 154 times continuously at a craps table, without throwing a seven?

The answer is roughly 1 in 1.56 trillion and, on May 23, Patricia Demauro, a New Jersey grandmother, beat those odds at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. Demauro's 154-roll lucky streak, which lasted four hours and 18 minutes, broke the world records for the longest craps roll and the most successive dice rolls without "sevening out". According to Stanford University statistics professor Thomas Cover, the chances of that happening are smaller than getting struck by lightning (one in a million), being hit by an errant ball at a baseball game (one in 1.5 million), or winning the lottery (one in 100 million, depending on the game).<<

The interesting part of the story was Neptune tucked down in the Nadir of the record-breaking event as well.

See ya at the casino,

Jim
