      Druidic Soul Star Astrology

      • 120 pages
      • 5 hours of reading

      Druidic Soul Star Astrology is a new and exciting way to discover your past lives without the need for regression. Some people find the idea of past-life regression too intrusive and shy away from it. Although past-life regression can offer direct understanding of past lives, it is not for everyone--and this book is. It is easy to grasp because it uses an intuitive approach based on ancient Celtic wisdom, so you don't need to be an astrologer. You will learn how to convert the traditional circular birth chart into a six-pointed sacred star that becomes a karmic map. Certain planets are placed within the star map that describe past lives, traits, experiences, and influences. The result reveals positive and challenging karmic traits that enable people to grow spiritually and face their future with certainty.

      The book explores the paradox of Prime Ministers in parliamentary systems, who, despite having the power to call elections at opportune moments, often still face defeat. Alastair Smith presents an informational theory that connects the timing of election calls to the outcomes of those decisions. He analyzes the challenges leaders encounter in leveraging their electoral timing advantage, revealing that even popularity and weak opposition do not guarantee success in elections.
