Views: 1001 - Love and Marriage - Why Fate and Karma Make it or Break it - by Submitted on Sep 09, 2007 from Scott & Stephen PetulloOne cannot “grow love enough to marry and raise a family.” It’s either there or it isn’t, in our view, and if the comprehensive numerology and astrology charts firmly indicate that there isn’t enough of a connection between two people for a long term relationship, ...
Views: 3464 - Astrology & Numerology - Comprehensive Approach With the Languages of Fate or Risk Triviality - by Submitted on Sep 09, 2007 from Scott & Stephen PetulloWhile we agree that comprehensive numerology and astrology are very involved areas of study, we acknowledge that some, much lighter uses such as newspaper and magazine “horoscopes” serve the purpose of providing an introduction to these esoteric sciences. Numerology, astrology, ...
Views: 1081 - Sex, Marriage and Compatibility - Soul Mate Connections Are Not What You Think - by Submitted on Sep 09, 2007 from Scott & Stephen PetulloSometimes people are drawn together like magnets, yet the compatibility is questionable. It’s not smooth sailing to say the least, and trying to make it permanent is akin to strapping a 45lb weight to your back for the rest of your life. Might the inability to part ways, the intense draw, ...

Views: 975 - Numerology and Number Mysticism - Zero Isn't a Number - by Submitted on Sep 08, 2007 from Scott & Stephen PetulloZero is a cipher, which is the mathematical symbol (0) indicating absence of quantity.

Ongoing conflict with a family ...
