Hello, dear Readers!
Kung Hei Fat Choy... Happy Chinese New Year! The year of
the Dog has given way to the Year of the Pig, the last of
the 12 animals on the wheel of the Chinese Zodiac. Feb. 4th
marked the arrival of Pig according to the solar calendar,
while the lunar calendar date of Feb. 18th marks the
Chinese New Year's Day celebrating the Year of the Red
Fire Pig.
The past three years, 2004 - Monkey, 2005 - Rooster and
2006 - Dog were Metal cycles. The Year of Red Pig 2007
begins three years of the Water cycle and these three
years will be favourable to people whose lucky element is
Water. In relation to your own Chinese animal sign, 2007
will be an excellent year for Tigers, and very good year
for Goats, Rabbits and Pigs; a good year for Roosters,
Dragons, Dogs; a mixed year for Horses, Oxen, Rats, and
a difficult year for Monkeys and Snakes.
With its Yin (female) energy, 2007 favours women,
especially middle-aged women. and all those who have water
as their 'lucky element'.
Year of the Fire Pig, or "Golden Pig" is hailed as
particularly lucky and a good time to marry and have
children. It is also considered a good year for prosperity
and great abundance, so gamers and gamblers are probably
itching to toss the dice as this year rolls in.
The bountiful and auspicious vibes of the upcoming Pig
cycle, though, are somewhat tinged by the combination of
Feng Shui elements underlying this period. Janarrdhana
Guptha,Energy Consultant and Crystal Master, predicts that
2007, with its element of Fire over Water, which are
clashing elements, we will also see "frequent international
conflicts and serious internal struggles. Civil unrest will
lead to uprisings, and civil war will break out in several
countries, leading to overthrow of governments."
Guptha further predicts: "This clash of elements will mean
The Pig Year also brings about many changes - changes at
all levels. Changes in profession, career changes, moving
out of homes and offices, shifting to new school/college,
sudden change in governments, etc. Inter-country
immigrations will rise drastically.
There will be strange troubles arising out of burials and
burial grounds. Religious tensions, racist riots and cult
conflicts will be on the rise and in some cases, they will
trigger small scale wars or group suicides. Superstitions
and manipulations will rule.
There will be many disasters pertaining to fire and water:
fire disasters, volcanic eruptions, wild forest fires,
fire arm explosions, bomb attacks, even possible nuclear
threats; earthquakes, avalanches, heavy rains, torrential
floods, unceasing sea winds, reflux of sea water, defeating
atmospheric frosts and melancholic dampness."
Feng Shui Master Marie Diamond says: "There may be a boom
in travel this year, but more accidents in the air or in
the water are likely. There may be dangerous explosions,
especially in the northeastern part of the world -- like
China or even the northeastern part of another country not
in that continent.
In the Fire Pig year, you need to improve your immune
system as epidemic sickness can break out in the center
of the world -- like Europe or in the center of another
country. Take care of your intestines and stimulate your
energy system."
As the last animal to make his appearance on the wheel,
Pig is all about completions. It is a year favoured for
tying up loose ends, completing goals, and even saying
some goodbyes. Expert Shelly Wu says, "All things that
occur this year can be looked on as closing or final
conclusions in some way. An auspicious year to complete
projects, bring projects to fruition or arrive safely
after completing a long life journey."
The China Daily reports that many parts of Asia are
expecting baby booms as babies born in Pig years are
considered to be among the luckiest in the zodiac.
Pigs are considered symbols of abundance and fertility
and dreams about pigs are considered omens of wealth.

Readers' Feedback on Synchronicity
Hi Zsuzsana,
I love reading this column as it answers many questions
I have about psychic thoughts or experiences I've had
throughout my life. When I was younger, in my 20's, I had
many experiences where if I would think about someone I
hadn't seen for a while I would cross their path within a
short period of time after I had thought about them. It
happened many many times with me. You have to also be
careful what you say in unknown places such as ladies
bathrooms. Once I was talking to a friend about my room-
mate in college, and not saying the best comments, when
who should be in one of the stalls...but my roommate. I
will never forget that experience, as I'm sure she no
doubt heard a few things I had to say. But the running
into people used to unnerve me until I got used to it and
thought it was rather humorous. Now my husband says, if
I just mention I haven't spoken to someone in a while, they
just happen to call me and not run into me physically.
The other day I had an interesting experience also to do
with this; I was meeting with a leasing manager at an
apartment complex about 60 miles from where we live, for
business purposes. Not only had I never spoken with this
woman and never met with her before, but we somehow talked
about an upcoming trip of mine to California. She mentioned
her sister lived there and of course I inquired what part
of California she lived in. It struck me as very unusual
when she mentioned the exact part of the city of San Diego
we used to live in. We lived there for 3 1/2 years and
since we relocated to North Carolina 5 years ago, I have
not once come across anyone who has a clue as to that
area of San Diego. We discussed the street names, the
restaurants and other small details about that area that
no one would ever know unless you were familiar with it.
One more thing I wanted to mention too, that may or may
not be synchronicity. We were most unhappy in San Diego,
and had so many difficulties that finally we realized we
needed to leave the area. I met someone who suggested we
try North Carolina, as a lot of my family lives on this
side of the country. The minute we accepted that idea,
and my husband started to apply for jobs here, I had
constant signs of 'North Carolina'. I would have people
out of nowhere stop in at the insurance agency I worked
at, from here whereas I've never met them before. I
would talk to someone connected with the insurance business
on the phone, from North Carolina. Cars would appear out
of nowhere in front of me, from North Carolina. It was
endless and also became amusing plus unnerving at times.
I never saw North Carolina license plates in my entire
life. I took it as a positive sign for us after that.
Sincerely,
Barb Rozenberg
A Follow-up P.S.:
Wow, I hadn't finished reading your column either when I
just wrote my last email to you about synchronicity. Of
all things I just saw someone wrote you from Asheville,
NC and you just mentioned you saw a TV show on it too.
Now if that isn't unique, I don't know what is.

Hi Zsuzsana
My name is Dave and I have had psychic experiences since
I was a kid. My father called me from a hayfield 7 miles
away when I was at the swimming hole. It caught me in the
middle of a dive (which I really screwed up), and I got
out of the water and dressed, went home, changed to work
clothes and headed toward Dad. He was standing at the top
of the road/trail, saying "What took you so long." He had
tipped over a trailer full of hay and needed my help, so
had called mentally 'till I got the message. That was
the first of many. I also saved a pilot and his plane (F4C
Phantom) during Viet Nam, while I was at the chow hall. I
guess I went into a trance (had the whole chow hall
worried) for about 15 minutes with fork half way to my
mouth, and when I came out, I just finished putting the
fork into my mouth as if nothing happened. When questioned,
I told how I was melded to the pilot at the waist. The
pilot was unconscious, there was blood, the instrumentation
was shot up, and there were holes in the left wing. I had
some flying experience, but nothing like a jet. I somehow
used his knowledge of flying, knew I needed a runway,
hoping for at least a friendly field, used his hands for
flying, flaps and landing gear, found a field that was
friendly, heard the screech of tires hitting the runway
and I was back at the chow hall, finishing my forkful. All
thought I was crazy as I had been drinking, but my roommate
woke me the next morning and dragged me down to the Command
Post to read a top secret message. It indicated that at
23:45 (military time) an F4C phantom jet was missing in
action, however that particular plane landed at a friendly,
not home, but a friendly field exactly at midnight. The
exact time frame that I was in a trance at the chow hall
in Guam for midnight chow. Also I can tell when someone is
going to say whatever; I already know what he will say.
Many times it has saved my life by making me do something
else to bypass the situation. I do not know if this
interests you or not, but I am a transmitter of sorts and
a receiver also, of sorts. Probably with some training, I
could improve my senses. Like, I have done out of body
experiences many times. So I have some sort of gift, just
do not know the extent of it. Still many tales to tell if
any one has an interest.

Hi Dave,
Psychic skills, just like anything else, ARE improved with
practice and training as you say. I think your gifts are
pretty amazing and yes, I would enjoy hearing more.
Thank you. Zsuzsana

Dear Zsuzsana:
For the Christmas Season, at the spur of the moment, I
bought and put a wreath on my husband's grave. Later that
night, I received a phone call from an old classmate, whom
I had run into at my 40th class reunion that September.
She said she had her regular visit with her medium to
contact her father, when the medium said there was another
spirit in the room. She asked my classmate if she knew
any one named "Susan." She at first said, no, but when the
medium asked if she had been at a reunion of some sort, my
classmate connected it to me, "Suzanne." She then said one
of my husbands was aware that I had told my classmate about
him, with a picture, at the reunion, and he wanted her to
convey to me that whatever disagreement we had had before
he died, was resolved, and that he continued to love me
very much. She thought it was my first husband, who also
died a tragic death at 35, but when the medium said, "There
is a name of Brian or Ryan involved," it was completed,
because my last husband's grandson was named Ryan.
Well, blow me down with a feather! The "disagreement" was
that, while he lay dying for four days, he refused to
acknowledge me, even as I was holding his hand all night
before he died. A technician came in to draw blood, and
my husband greeted him enthusiastically and shared a joke!
Up to the last minute, he never looked my way. This, of
course, was very disturbing to me.
The "synchronicity" of my placing the wreath and the phone
call from California (I live in Virginia, and the reunion
was in Illinois!), overwhelmed me, and by the time the
phone call was over, I was in tears. What a lot of hard
work his spirit must have gone through to contact me
this way!
Anyway, thanks for letting me get my story to you. Keep
up the good work in exploring "inner space" with your
readers, to make us feel not so "different" when it comes
to our experiences with the paranormal.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Winter-Austin

A young lady that was a student worker at the University
that I work at was killed in a car accident. She was an
avid collector of fairies. After the funeral several of
us went to a restaurant to eat. This restaurant also has
a gift shop. When we entered the door there were two full
tables of fairies statues. I think this is an example of
synchronicity. Is it?
Pat Reeder
Definitely! Thanks for sharing this.

****************************************************
I just caught up with last week's issue and I'd like to
write on one of my synchronicity experiences (I've had
several over the years). The one you might find interesting
occurred back in 1982. I developed an infatuation with a
Playboy playmate named Cathy St. George. She was Miss
August, which as it turned out was her birthday. She was
born on August 23, 1960. August 23rd was/is the birthday
of the first girl I ever loved named Katie Sherrick. You'll
notice both names are derived from Catherine. Miss St.
George was dating actor Andrew Stevens at the time. His
first wife was Kate(!) Jackson whom he married in Las Vegas
on August 23, 1977, which would have been Miss St. George's
17th birthday. In 1982 on August 23, it was a Monday and on
that day, Fortune magazine came out with an article on
Christie Hefner, Hugh's (the founder of Playboy) daughter,
the very day Miss St. George was celebrating her 22nd
birthday. I threw a question into the universe asking what
is this infatuation about Miss St. George and it replied
with me finding a book in the bookstore in the office
building where I worked called "Love and Limerance" written
by a Dr. Dorothy Tennov of Hofstra University. Limerance
is Dr. T's explanation on how we are programmed to respond
to the beauty we find of a person's face and that kicks in
causing the love to happen (why we are attracted to some
people and not to others). I've since moved on (no more
playmates) and some synchronicity still happens, though
not as much as this one time in my life. Lately, I was
looking for some land to use as a film site for my film on
the Holocaust to build a concentration camp set and when
I inquired about it, the real estate agent asked what I
wanted to use it for. When I told her, she replied she
and her friends were members of the U.S. Holocaust museum
in Washington, D.C.!
