9. Career Palace

10. Estate Palace

11. Pleasure Palace

]]>

Pleasure palace represents a person’s interest and hobby. How a person spends his or her money. This palace is also very important, similar to the life, it is about a person’s psyche and feelings.

12. Parent Palace (Physical Appearance Palace)

Parent Palace represents the relationship between a person and his or her parents including his or her employer or superior. In some branches of Polaris astrology, the Parent palace is also called the Physical appearance palace.

13. Body Palace

According to most of the Polaris astrology litterateurs, the Life palace is called “before heaven” it represents a person’s innate abilities or personalities that he or she is born with. The Body palace is called “after heaven”. It represents the abilities a person could acquire or achieve, if he or she worked hard enough. According to some astrologers, the importance of the Body palace is no less then the Life palace and the pleasure palace.

In addition, some astrologers believe that because the life palace is before heaven and the Body palace is after heaven, the Life palace represents the earlier part of a person’s life which is before the age of forty. The Body Palace represents the later part of a person’s life, after the age of forty. Therefore, when analyzing the earlier part of a person’s life, The life palace should receive more focus then the Body palace. Vice versa for analyzing the later part of a person’s life. This concept is only supported by a small group of astrologers, and I currently do not have enough statistic to confirm it.

Palaces that are Shared by the Body Palaces

Due to the rules on determining the Life palace and the body palace, the Body palace can only share its location with one of the following six palaces:

1. Life Palace          2. Career Palace    3. Wealth Palace

4. Journey Palace   5. Spouse Palace   6. Pleasure Palace

Whichever palace the Body palace shears with, It is where one’s energy is mostly focus on.

Indicates that a person is constantly focusing his energy on himself, have great fortitude and emotionally strong. However, this can sometimes means stubbornness.

Indicates career is everything, a person of such is constantly in pursuit of leadership and recognition for what he does.

Indicates nothing is more important than money. a person of such is very economical and never wastes money.

A person of such loves to travel and doesn’t like to stay at one place for long. His working environment is always changing.

Because such person is constantly focusing his or her energy on spousal matters and family life, his or her emotion on such matters is highly sensitive. Thus, it can be interpreted as emotionally weak. Any minor wrong doings from the spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend can hurt his or her feelings.

Such person is constantly in pursuit of his hobbies and interest. He can be emotionally distressed if his occupation is not in the field of his interest.

*Please be advised that the above definitions are only general descriptions. Whether it is auspicious or inauspicious depends on stars in its palace, the opposite palace and companion palaces etc.

Major Fortune and Minor Fortune

While the 12 Palaces represent all the aspects of one’s life, Major-fortune and Minor-fortune represent the fortunes or the happenings that had or will occur to a person during particular period of his or her life.

Just about all hippie costumes have been influenced by hippie clothes of the 60′s which have been observed by numerous generations of people observing video footage of Woodstock, Viet Nam War protests, and other documentaries. Hipy costumes for girls often consisted of nothing more than a vibrantly colored shirts, a rather skimpy skirt and some long fringe leather boots – which is a fantastic option for 1960′s parties or an evening of club hopping – plus never forget to place a flower in your curly hair.

The 1960′s in the United states ended up being a time period loaded with worry. The young people young of the United States launched a struggle vs the institutional establishment and business and political strongholds. The mantra of everybody dressed in hippie clothes was created by Timothy Leary, an influential American psychologist: “turn on, Tune in, Drop out.” Even though Mr. Leary was referring to psychotropic serious drugs, the slogan grew to become quite frankly the way in which to describe a generation of individuals disappointed with the path the country was heading.

]]>

Hippie costumes have celebrated a large resurgence in desirability since the 1990′s when Mike Myers adopted all of the “cool” parts of the 60′s and created an extremely flourishing set of three motion pictures which was a little 007 spoof and part homage to the psychedelic hippie clothes and styles that identified the era. Adult hippie costumes and 1960′s period costumes highlighting the uncomplicated but enticing attire used by Felicity Shagwell, played by the wonderfulHeather Graham, actually grew to become a component of people’s daily attire – an example where costumes ended up being so popular they became enjoyable to wear even if there was no costume celebration to go to.1960′s costumes are definitely not completely about dressing in hippie costumes. In reality, quite a few 1960′s television programs influenced 1960′s costumes which may have just about as much worldwide recognition as hippie costumes, such as Flintstones and Jetsons costumes, and Star Trek (first TV show) costumes.It’s true, though, that when somebody thinks about the 60′s, hippie clothes are almost at all times the first element to spring to mind for their ultimate grooviness and their peaceful nature they have come to represent, will most likely continue being a primary option for any individual in need of a 60′s costume. Hey, you could possibly not need to pay for the outfit, there is probably a good chance you might have a little something that can get the job done inside your dresser.

Question by Lola Fabala: Costumes??
I am in my schools production of Pirates of Penzance, and I am a daughter in the courus. However, I am having a trouble finding a costume. Besides ebay and amazon, does anyone know a website that would have costumes that would fit this era (late 1800s) that don’t cost too much money (up to $ 50)
My mom said she would pay $ 60 actually (it would be my holloween costume too)

Best answer:

Answer by Maggie
It will cost you a lot more to buy a full period costume than to piece one together. I would recommend you do some research, get some ideas for what you want, then start hitting up the local used clothing stores. Check out the local costume shop for something that you can spice up a bit. Or, even better, check into renting/borrowing a costume from the Theatre department at the local high school/university. They have storage rooms full of it and they’ll often let you use it for free. Good luck!
