I read or I was advised that Elvis didn't agree with Astrology and Tarot.

He may not have. I'm not sure. I know that he did practice kriya yoga, and was a believer in Theosophy and Ascended Masters. The concepts behind Theosophy are essentially the same as those in astrology and Tarot, when they are understood properly. The problem is that many people don't understand what they are or how to use them.

Actually I just remembered that I have seen Elvis's astrology chart. It was done by a man named Dane Rudhyar, whose books he also read. This is discussed in If I Can Dream, by Larry Geller. He may not have studied the Tarot, though.

Here is a link to the actual chart:

Actually, I just checked the table of contents of Manly P. Hall's The Secret Teachings of All Ages, which Elvis owned, and there is a chapter in it called "An Analysis of the Tarot Cards." So he was probably somewhat familiar with them. Elvis was a big fan of Manly Hall and sent Priscilla to attend some of his lectures (since he couldn't go himself).

Perhaps Aleister Crowley gave Tarot a bad name. He was a very sick "puppy".

Even the earliest known tarot decks weren’t designed with mysticism in mind; they were actually meant for playing a game similar to modern-day bridge. Wealthy families in Italy commissioned expensive, artist-made decks known as “carte da trionfi” or “cards of triumph.” These cards were marked with suits of cups, swords, coins, and polo sticks (eventually changed to staves or wands), and courts consisting of a king and two male underlings. Tarot cards later incorporated queens, trumps (the wild cards unique to tarot), and the Fool to this system, for a complete deck that usually totaled 78 cards. Today, the suit cards are commonly called the Minor Arcana, while trump cards are known as the Major Arcana.

Theosophy is very interesting. :D

THEOSOPHY: The word is derived from the Greek theos (god, divinity) and sophia (wisdom). Its philosophy is a contemporary presentation of the perennial wisdom underlying the world's religions, sciences, and philosophies.

We are not brought into existence by chance nor thrown up into earth-life like wreckage cast along the shore, but are here for infinitely noble purposes.— Katherine Tingley

If you reduce the digits of my month, day and year, add them together, and reduce the sum you get a 6.

But wouldn't 12/19/2007 be a 4? Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

My apartment is a 2, and that seems right.



It is interesting that Feng Shui's numbers also tie in with Numerology.

The energy of numbers, as the energy of everything else in your life, always helps in understanding your own development and growth. It gives you good feedback if you are willing to listen with the intelligence of your own heart.

I feel that Elvis' successful career proved that to "listen" is very important, which means his studies proved fruitful.
