Supermoon on 19th March

In Astrology, a supermoon is a full or new moon that coincides with a close approach by the Moon to the Earth.
The combined effect of the Sun and Moon on Earth's oceans, the tide, is greatest when the Moon is new or full. Full Moons during lunar perigees exert an even stronger tidal force, resulting in more extreme high and low tides.  Previous supermoons happened in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005. Each year had extreme weather events ,such as, the deadly tsunami in Indonesia occuring two weeks before the 2005 Supermoon.
                     
On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 356,577 kilometers away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.

All Things Venus In Scorpio (Films)

Here are the Best Movies, in my opinion, which potray the Infamous Venus In Scorpio Intensity and Obsession with ... whatever be the case.

1. BLACK SWAN

A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan ,Princess Odette, but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan. Its kind of like the Scorpio theme of death and resurrection ...but only in a different way.

2. NOTES ON A SCANDAL

A veteran high school teacher befriends a younger art teacher, who is having an affair with one of
her students. However, her intentions with this new "friend" also go well beyond platonic friendship.
Check out the music composed by Philip Glass for the movie. It's completely Venus in Scorpio.

3. DAMAGE

They pursue their affair with obsessive abandon despite the dangers of discovery and what it would do to his complacent life and his son. Completely obsessed, he wants to give up his current lifestyle to be with her. She has no intention of allowing him to do this, preferring to have her marriage to the son as a cover. They are eventually discovered, and must deal with the damage.

4. WUTHERING HEIGHTS

5. THE CRUSH

A journalist becomes the unwanted center of attention for a 14-year-old girl who proceeds to sabotage his life after he refuses her advances.

Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975)

 A haunting movie based on a novel by Joan Lindsay. The story is as follows...

The students from Mrs. Appleyard's School for Girls - a kind of boarding finishing school where decorum and etiquette are the most important subjects - are going on an outing to Hanging Rock, a local geographical landmark. Only one of them, Sara, is being left behind. The reasons for her exclusion are unclear, but it could have something to do with her unhealthy attachment to Miranda. At Hanging Rock, as everyone including the chaperones, Miss McCraw and Mlle. de Poitiers lounges in the afternoon sun, four girls go on an expedition of the rock formation. Three of them do not return and the fourth, when she gets back, is in a state of hysteria. Also missing is Miss McCraw. The police are called in, but their search turns up nothing: no bodies and no signs of foul play. When one of the girls, Irma, is discovered unconscious but largely unharmed a week later, she is unable to provide any clue about the whereabouts of the others - her memory is a blank.

    

Pardon Me, You're Stepping On My Eyeball!

If you think this book has got something to do with horror, you're so completely mistaken. I thought so too when I spotted it sandwiched between two mystery novels. Well, thanks to that library in particular, which didn't have anything worth reading except for boring romance stuff, I found my perfect Romance Book by Paul Zindel which I could totally relate to! I'm currently on the lookout for some of Zindel's other novels.
The story goes as follows...



Fifteen-year-old "Marsh" Mellow thinks the whole world hates him. Then he meets Edna Shinglebox, a classmate who looks as freaky and depressed as he is. Even though Marsh writes hate letters, carries around a raccoon in his coat pocket, and insults Edna constantly, Edna still likes him. After embarking on an incredible adventure that takes them halfway across the country, Edna and Marsh are surprised by what they learn about themselves and each other.

There she found herself lying on a cold slab in the morgue. The police said that it was suicide. Shari knew she had been murdered.

A sad story which may not appeal to most horror freaks but It was totally worth my time.

Horror rating: 4.5/

4. THE LOST MIND

She didn't know what she had done.

She awoke in the woods beside a dead body. There was a knife in her hand, blood on her

clothes. Had she killed the young woman who lay beside her? She couldn't remember.

Not even her own name.

It was as if someone had stolen her mind.

Stolen her soul.

South India Trip

I came across monkeys, cows, cats...mostly CATS! Here are a few of them.

 

 

5 Places I'd Never Spend the Night In

1. Isla de las Munecas

 There's something about dolls that scares the hell out of me. I'm not sure of whether its got something to do with Chucky or the fact that something plastic resembling us, human beings, seems kind of abnormal. I have a similar fear of Clowns.
Anyway, so this is the Island near Mexico City filled with odd looking dolls apparently collected by some old hermit who was said to be nuts. The Island is  haunted by the spirit of a young girl who drowned nearby.



2. Bhangarh Ruins

This was once a beautiful kingdom located in the state of Rajasthan in India. The myth regarding the place is that there lived a charming princess by the name of Ratnavati who was the most sought after because of her tremendous beauty. A tantrik by the name of Singhia fell desperately in love with her but wasn't allowed to even speak to her because of his dark practices. He tried to seduce her with magical scented oil but she saw through this plan and threw the bottle on a wall which crushed the tantrik. His dying wish was that the whole place be cursed and that not a single being left alive. The following day, a huge battle took place killing everyone including the princess. Till this day it's been impossible to build anything there but for temples. The Indian government has taken strict measures prohibiting anyone from entering it in the night. There has got to be some truth in the story for the goverment to have taken things to such an extreme or maybe I'm just plain gullible.


3. Aokigahara Forest

Also known as 'Suicide Forest' this place is located in Japan, at the north west base of Mount Fuji.
The queer thing about this forest is that it has a history of suicides commited by people for no apparent reason. It's associated with demons in japanese mythology.
The high rate of suicide has even led officials to place signs in the forest, urging those who have gone there in order to commit suicide to seek help and not kill themselves. Hmm... seems like the grim reaper  decided to make it his permanent base.

4.Essex Mountain Sanatorium

This facility was established with the aim of curing people of tuberculosis in New Jersey in 1907. There were increasing complaints of  patient mistreatment scandals, funding problems and horrible experiments resulting in its closure. The abandoned place soon became a popular hideout for escaped lunatics and weird rituals.

A run down building seemingly haunted by the spirits of  people with a

history of mental disorders and full of satanic graffitti drawn by vandals. What could possibly be worse?

5. The Tower of London

This structure constructed by William the Conqueror in 1078, has the reputation for being  the most haunted building in the whole of England.
Its a popular haunt for the White Lady who has been sighted a number of times by random passers by.
Its infamous for the death of Henry VI who was murdered by the Duke of Gloucestor. Lady Jane Grey, Anne Boleyn as well as Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, were also executed in a gruesome manner in the same place. The whimpering of children can be heard and the strong presence of unearthly souls is very evident.
