so sorry about your sister, did not know that. i'll bet adrienne elise can answer the question of where someone falls on either side of the chinese new year. she tales a very syncretic approach, uses all the tools in the box, much as you do and has a cool youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHA5ubudCiDf4T1pk4zjb1g
I started following you from Sage Hana's post about you.
I'd like to add into your mix of fascination, that the Deck of 52 playing cards is an ancient system of knowledge that was hidden in plain sight. Based on our date of birth, and based on esoteric calculations, we each have 13 Cards to play for life. So perhaps your father's fascination with birthdays holds another, even deeper meaning.
As soon as we know someone's birthday, we know their Cards to play for life -- and we thus know their soul's blueprint for this lifetime.
If you'd like to know more about this ancient system of knowledge, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
You are fully correct. The 52 playing card deck that's used for card-games like poker, can also be used for divinatory purposes (and that's where its origin lies). Same goes for I Ching, tarot cards, numerology, etc. And indeed - as you wrote - everything is 'hidden in plain sight', and you need to be in the moment to read the signs. In that respect Thai people are generally more aware about this inter-connectedness of everything than Western people.
Here my date/hour of birth and location > Antwerpen (Belgium) on 31st of July 1957 at approx 11h PM. There, I have just opened my soul to those who can read it...
Note: Would be interested when you can provide me a link to the 13 cards.
I've read a few things about cards and am also interested. I know one person with your same Cancer birthday: he's very quiet, technically minded and wears glasses. An engineer of some type
You have an interesting chart. You have five planets (including sun) in your fifth house (rules entertainment, leisure, pleasure) and four in your sixth house (rules health and wellness)
And with your birthday, you are born to play the 10 of Hearts with a 10 of Hearts personality. It means you are here in this lifetime as the Princess of Love.
Here is the link to the website my wife and I created to share this ancient knowledge that was hidden in plain sight.
Whoa, a snowy owl. Visitation. I am a dragon, 9/9/1964, besides the double Virgo-ness. I also know a snake quite well and can say they are perhaps quieter than dragons. I think our wings and all that fire breathing can be a bit like the 'bull in the china shop' sometimes. By one other astrology, Hindu, I am a bumblebee/turtle (Khama/Dhamu or such). I think the dragons and snakes are kind of private and shy, but we project larger personas perhaps to compensate. Also, what is a dragon but a snake with wings (ok, and legs/arms) and what is a turtle but a dragon with a shell? Best
9/9 is the same birthday as my grandmother the one in my guest post also my great aunt her only sibling was born on the same day seven years later. A mid range Virgo practical and far seeing. There is a conflict with 64 in Thai numerology
thanks Alexander Hamilton Dunlop----Mom always called me Jack....Does a Jack of Spades relate to a Jack of all Trades? I do know that at it's root, Jacquelyn means 'usurper' and is the same name root as Jacob....I usurp, such a nice thing to do......re the 2 of Diamonds...well, I dont play the cards so much but do see that it means a variety of things...a happy suprise among them.....oh, I was a suprise allright, but will have to get back to you about whether the happy part is true....best
Yes, Jacks do relate to a "Jack of all Trades." You may have many interests and hobbies. You may scatter your attention and your focus. Underneath, the 2 of Diamonds as your primary energy means you are a great team player and a great partner, even to a fault. So you may stick to people and feel "obligated" to them much longer than it truly serves you.
And with all of the Source Cards, there are no "good" or " bad" cards. It's all in how we play them. We can't change our cards, but we can change how we play them. And that makes all the difference.
Much thanks, awesome website; Part of me wants to be a great team player, and part of me knows that we all can't be on the same side of the boat at the same time....when the team has to 'split ranks' to win...? best
Hi Amy, most people - and I guess that includes also many of your Substack subscribers - will renounce your latest post as baseless superstition. But I do not.
The only critical remark I want to make is that you wrote:
"Whether the position of the sun, planets and stars has any measurable influence on human behavior or personality is mostly dependent on whether you believe it does."
But imo also the 'believers' are incorrect, as they believe that it is the position of the sun, planets, stars that CAUSES things to happen. While imo it is one of those cases where the saying "correlation does not mean causation" applies.
It is not by accident (nothing is) that astrology is also referred to by its adepts as 'the Royal Science', as it is a very sophisticated instrument that allows you to 'look into the hour' (that's the actual translation of the word 'horoscope') and determine the QUALITY of the time. As everything is inter-connected, there are of course many other ways to help you read the signs of the time (numerology, I-Ching, tarot-cards, tea-leave patterns, etc.). But none of these methods is as sophisticated as astrology - be it the Western, Chinese, Thai, Mayan, etc variant - as the position of the constellations can be very precisely calculated and provides deep insight in the quality of the time at that moment and which will determine its outcome.
That's a very good insight into things. It's fascinating that astronomy is so determinate I think NASA says they can't calculate with precision past about 35,000 years into the future (try to laughably compare that record of the position of the sun and stars against economic models, population forecasts, climate change predictions or that Covid catastrophe). Yet there's two chicken egg debates that I see: even if you believe that means something, did the stars cause it to mean something, or did belief by you and older relatives cause you to acquire behavior consistent with predictions? Many Thais seemed to know very little directly of our astrology systems though they have their own guidebooks. Perhaps it evolves differently in those growing up with the four seasons than it does in equatorial areas?
Hi Amy, for sake of clarity > imo the stars do not cause anything. They are like a watch that allows you to 'read the time'. And of course you need to know what the figures on your watch mean and how they relate to the passage of time, in order to make a watch of any use for you.
The same is true with astrology, a conjunction of the Sun and Venus at a certain time and location, provides you - when you can read these signs - with an indication of the characteristics of that particular moment and how it will evolve. So yes, there are auspicious times and times to avoid when starting a new enterprise. And likewise your birth horoscope (picture of the constellations at the time/location of your birth), will provide those that can read it with insights in what you will encounter in this life and your possible evolution.
You cannot free yourself of your destiny, and 'free will' is limited to how you mentally deal with what is put on your path. As Richard Bach wrote 'maybe this was all meant to try us out'.
Thank for for this insight. I never knew that astrology meant to "look into the hour" and determine the quality of time. I like that.
I've steered clear of astrology because of how people use it as a crutch to rationalize their poor decision-making, as in, I did it BECAUSE I have Mars in Myanus.
I like the clock-analogy you give below also. I've heard that before. But I like the idea of "looking into the hour" better.
I am glad for all the folks who don't pay attention to/believe in astrology. It give us that do use it an upper hand...for me, its like using a willow rod to find water; it works because of simple physics and the memory of life inside the (green) stick. The planets, some explosion, still being played out in space is also like that green willow stick, energies from an original event that we all spin to, whether we realize it or not. We are all dancing to it. Best Amy
What is the significance of what year? Dragon or Snake--how will it affect you and your daughter? (I am not dismissing your interest--just want to know more.)
Right after reading Amy's post, I read Steve Kirsch's newsletter. He also is trying to verify dates of deaths. In his case he wants to verify the deaths of 6 nursing home residents who died shortly after vaccination. He tries very hard to get this information--just as you are trying very hard to try to determine time of death or time of birth. It is so important. And yet nobody seems to know. U.S. doesn't even put the proper information on the birth certificates.

... don't be fooled. :-)
Underneath that self-protective Sphinx like facade, he's a boiling cauldron of passion!
As an aside I can make this a substack post if you're willing...
HI Amy, that would be great - so yes, go ahead!
You have an interesting chart. You have five planets (including sun) in your fifth house (rules entertainment, leisure, pleasure) and four in your sixth house (rules health and wellness)
LOL Leo not Cancer. I'll give you a proper report in a bit I'm reading through your birth chart right now...
Hello BlueSphinx,
