Book excerpt: The beating heart of the sun is the very pulse of life on earth. And from the ancients who plotted its path at Stonehenge to the modern scientists who unraveled the nuclear fusion reaction that turns mass into energy, humankind has sought to solve its mysteries. In this lively biography of the sun, Bob Berman ranges from its stellar birth to its spectacular future death with a focus on the wondrous and enthralling, and on the heartbreaking sacrifice, laughable errors, egotistical battles, and brilliant inspirations of the people who have tried to understand its power. What, exactly, are the ghostly streaks of light astronauts see-but can't photograph-when they're in space? And why is it impossible for two people to see the exact same rainbow? Why are scientists beginning to think that the sun is safer than sunscreen? And how does the fluctuation of sunspots-and its heartbeat-affect everything from satellite communications to wheat production across the globe? Peppered with mind-blowing facts and memorable anecdotes about spectral curiosities-the recently-discovered "second sun" that lurks beneath the solar surface, the eerie majesty of a total solar eclipse-The Sun's Heartbeat offers a robust and entertaining narrative of how the Sun has shaped humanity and our understanding of the universe around us.

Download or read book Esoteric Astrology and Tarot classes written by Angeline A Rubi and Alina A. Rubi and published by Alina A Rubi. This book was released on 2023-04-09 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tarot is an ancient practice, a path by which we begin understanding oneself, towards our inner sacred. The Tarot is an oracle, a means, by which, in some way, and through its drawings and colors, we stimulate our psychic sphere, the deepest part that goes beyond the rational. When we move the cards, a secret and powerful mechanism is put into operation, to open doors and means that connect us to the Universe. The Tarot is full of secrets, wonderful and powerful symbolisms that go beyond a great pictorial work. Magic, clairvoyance, or however you want to define it in you, will awaken little by little, as you practice and enter the intimate world of each card. Astrology is an exact, holistic science. In ancient times, in medieval times, you had to study many years to be an astrologer. Being the "mother science", you had to learn seven years of astrology in advance to be able to dedicate yourself to medicine, architecture, painting, or any other discipline. Astrology is the complement to any technique of personal growth, it offers you the opportunity to know what your vital mission is, to know what you have come to in this reincarnation and what your challenges are in this life, that is, to know your natal map. The natal chart allows you to know yourself much better to the point of understanding, for example, because you do not find your ideal partner, or because your partners last you so little time, or confirm that you made a good decision, or because you have such a conflictive relationship with a member of your family, or because you live a very strong crisis in your work etc. The natal chart explains why and why you give a situation and who you are, gives you information about how and when these issues will be resolved, marking the changes that your soul asks you to make.
