Barbara Goldsmith – 2009 Horoscope Review By Amber Gooding

Amber Gooding

Sign Show would like to thank Amber Gooding for writing the following review. Amber is the creator of the Facebook Group “Proud To Be A Scorpio”.

Video Review: Barbara Goldsmith

Barbara was very knowledgable about predictions, and she explained everything very well. The sound quality wasn’t so good, but I kept watching because I was drawn to her words and her confidence. It was slightly distracting that there was so much space above her head in the video, but at least the background looks nice and comfortable.

I also thought it was wonderful how energetic she was about Scorpio predictions. It made me smile. She touched so many areas of 2009 that I feel confident in her words, and wouldn’t mind watching her forecasts again.

2009 Video Horoscope Review Of Terence Guardino

Amber Gooding

This video was pretty good. I liked how Terence focused a little on the backround of Scorpios. This backround knowledge helped me understand a little more about how I will be reacting this year, and what I should expect. His knowledge of planets changing in the zodiac is amazing, and his calm collected tone wasn’t boring, but comforting in the sense that he knew much about Scorpio’s and that we are not all the same.

I also enjoyed that he brought current issues to attention and predicted improvements in those areas, giving hope. It was also great that he touched on other signs and how they were effecting Scopios and the outcome of those situations. The end of the video stopped quite abbruptly, but I liked that he didn’t give much information about himself, therefore if I was interested in him, I wouldn’t mind doing some research.

He spoke well and was very knowledgable about Scorpio’s and the planet’s alignment, but he seemed to get a little antsy at the end. Overall a wonderful video.

2009 Horoscope Video Review of David Cammegh

Amber Gooding

This video was quite good. David seems to be quite knowledgable about seeing through to the year and connecting with Scorpios and what we’re looking for. A little confusing when he was talking about the houses, but I’m sure it would have made more sense if I had a little more knowledge about it. I also thought it to be a bit strange that this plant was sitting right in front of him, it was slightly distracting but I suppose that it made the video a little more interesting to look at.

I also noticed that he would keep saying “it will happen generally speaking”, but I know that many of his predictions are generally speaking, but that could have been left out. So overall this was a good informative video with great information, and I’m interested in more of his predictions.

2009 Video Horoscope Review of Nadiya Shah

Amber Gooding

Video Review: Nadiya Shah

This is a pretty good video. I’ve seen some of Nadiya’s videos on the Sign Show and I love how she looks at the camera, like she’s talking to me. She seemed very confident with her predictions, more so than David Cammegh who seemed a little unsure of himself and a bit quirky. I also liked that she phrased responses as thinking like a scorpio and helping us to understand that “everything will be ok”. She’s a wonderful speaker.

I noticed that she focused a lot with the home and making yourself better, where David was touching many aspects throughout. I also liked that her website wasn’t posted on the video, making it a cleaner video and less distracting to watch. I don’t mean to keep comparing her to David, but I did honestly enjoy listening to her predictions more.

2009 Video Horoscope Review of The Love Cult of XONRAD

Amber Gooding

This video wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I also wasn’t expecting an animated character to give me my prediction, but it was kind of interesting. The prediction was short, and not very positive. In some parts the backround music overshadowed what she was saying, but it was helpful to have text highlighting the main point. I didn’t really enjoy this prediction, and wouldn’t really rely on it.

2009 Video Horoscope Review Of Psychic Junkie

Amber Gooding

Video Review: Psychic Junkie

I didn’t really enjoy this video. It was presented PowerPoint style and was very short. It did cover quite a bit of information, but it was boring to watch and read along with the narrator. I don’t really have much else to say about this video besides that I would have rather liked to see someone telling me these things instead of reading along.

2009 Video Horoscope Review Of KT The Astrologer

Amber Gooding

Video Review: KT The Astrologer

Overall a great video. I loved that she had a picture introduction and she started out speaking dramatically which captured my attention. During her prediction, the background music made me focus closer on her words. I enjoyed that she went slower through the months highlighting what will be happening and giving suggestions for life.

She was martly dressed and completely confident, and yet again, a wonderful speaker, with a wonderful video.

Tropical versus Sidereal Zodiac

The following is an excerpt from an e-mail sent to Sign Show from Howard Beckman, Director, Vedic Cultural Fellowship (www.vedicworld.org)

We Vedic astrologers only use the “sidereal zodiac” to calculate the orbits of the planets in our solar system. It is accurate astronomically and is the same zodiac and method of calculation used by each and every astronomer in the world. It is based on science in that regard. Most western astrologers (although not all and more and more are now using the sidereal) use the tropical zodiac. This is basically an equinoctial system. It’s premise at its inception was that the Sun would be in the exact same place at the vernal equinox each spring astronomically as it was 1700 (approx) years ago when this astrological system was created. Therefore the premise was based on the earth orbiting the Sun in exactly 365 days. We all know that it takes an extra 1/4 day for the earth to orbit the Sun. This is why we add a day to the calendar every 4 years (leap year) to make up for this to allow our calendar to always agree with the seasons. Right?

Western tropical astrologers never did this and still at the spring equinox every year they say “the Sun is now at 0 degrees Aries, the beginning of the zodiac”. You can ask any astronomer anywhere where the Sun was this past year at that time and they will tell you “at about 6 degrees Pisces”. Therefore using the sidereal zodiac (meaning that for most people alive today all planets in the horoscope will actually be 23 to 24 degrees back from the positions calculated by most western tropical astrologers) gives accuracy. So for say the sign of Leo, going from July 23rd to August 17th in the tropical zodiac, the dates for the Sun’s being within it runs from about August 17th to September 16th. Plain and simple. An experienced and dedicated Vedic astrologer can actually predict many events of a person’s life and easily can pinpoint “spot on” personality traits, likes and dislikes, directives, emotional and physical attributes and much more. I have been doing compatibility comparisons for years and when I have correct birth data can guarantee my accuracy.

An Apology To Diana Garland – 2009 Horoscopes

Diana Garland did some of the best 2009 video horoscopes. Many video astrologers provide a couple minutes of content, which can seem a little short and too general. Not Diana Garland. Be prepared for a thought provoking 15 minute discussion.

Why the apology? When I listed Diana Garland in ” Best 2009 Horoscope Videos” – I linked her name to the wrong astrologer.

To visit Diana, please go http://www.dianagarland.co.uk/

To get a sample of her horoscopes, I present her Libra 2009 Horoscope below.
