Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. One wrong number. One voice. And suddenly, the man who had never believed in love found himself waiting for midnight-just to hear her breathe. He had no right to feel this, yet every word, every pause pulled him closer to the place he swore he would never go. Shivansh Desai. CEO. Stoic. Disciplined. Detached. A man of ice, armor, and silence-until her laughter melted everything he thought unshakable. Prisha Sharma. Sunshine wrapped in calm defiance. She never chased him. She never needed him. And yet, by some cruel twist of fate, she became the only place where his restless mind could rest. They never planned it. Never labeled it. But in the stolen hours of midnight calls, they became each other's secret. And then. she left. No warning. No goodbye. Just absence. He shattered quietly, hiding the cracks behind power and control. Years passed, empires rose, but nothing filled the hollow she left. Until fate returned her. Same face. Same voice. Different world. Her eyes carried guilt, her lips trembled with unspoken longing. And deep inside, she admitted- "I left. but my heart never stopped following you." He felt it too-the pull, the ache, the fury. "You vanished like I was nothing. I should hate you. but how do I stop craving the very thing that ruined me?" Two hearts, scarred by silence, bound by a love that never died. Maybe this time, love would be enough. Maybe fate would finally keep what it once stole. A chance connection via a midnight phone call ignites a passion that leaves a stoic tycoon shattered when his muse vanishes. Years later, fate reunites them, forcing two wounded souls to decide if their fractured bond can finally heal. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. THE ZODIACTo the ordinary astrologer the Zodiac is simply a band of space, eighteendegrees wide, in the heavens, the center of which marks out the pathwayof the Sun during the space of one year of 365 days, etc.The twelve signs are to him simply thirty degrees of the space (12 times 30equal 360), bearing the names of the constellations which once occupiedthem. Nay, he, as a rule, still imagines in some sense that the signs (constel-lations) are still there, and that the power and potency of the twelve signs isderived from the stars which occupy the Zodiacal band of the skies.But this is not so, as any ordinary astronomer well knows. This single fact, i.e., the gradual shifting of the constellations, the DISPLACEMENT, let ussay, of the starry influx from one sign to anotherwithout anyALLOWANCEbeing made in the astrologer's rules for any such change, has been one of thegreatest obstructions to the popular spread of the art among EDUCATEDMINDS. Argues the scientist: The "fiery influence of Aries," if dependingupon the stars of that constellation, ought now to be shedding forth theircaloric from the sign Pisces, and Aries ought to be lumbering along with the3 THOMAS H. BURGOYNE & BELLE M. WAGNERearthy Taurine nature. So, also, the lords of these signs ought to be changed, but that they are not can be proved by the fact that our earliest records ofthat dim, historic past show, equally as well as your latest "text-book," thatMars is the lord of Aries-a fiery planet in a fiery sign; but astrologers still saythat Pisces is watery and Aries fiery, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE, IF THESTARS HAVE ANY INFLUENCE AT ALL. It is not necessary," say theselogical thinkers, "to learn your abstruse science if we can demonstrate thatthe very basis upon which your conclusions rest is in every sense fundamen-tally false." The scientific facts of the case are as follows: The influence of thetwelve signs, as described by astrologers, is a delusion, because in all ages theyare reported the same; whereas WE KNOW that every 2,160 years each signretrogrades to the extent of thirty degrees, and, as your art does not makeallowance for this, it is false. For, if the influence of the twelve signs does notemanate from the stars occupying the space of those signs, it must emanatefrom nothing-a doctrine well suited, no doubt, to musty old sages of yoursuperstitious Chaldea, but quite out of court in our progressive age-the lastdecade of our cultured and scientific nineteenth century.So far, so good. And so the world rolls along its bright pathway in the heav-ens, little heeding the logical conclusions of an exact science. But to an ini-tiate of those inner principles of our planet's constitution all these mentalconflicts have a meaning and a purpose within Nature's divine economy; forit is neither wise nor expedient that the masses, with popular science in thelead, should grasp the truths which Mother Nature reserves ALONE for her Beyond the flawed logic of modern astronomy lies a hidden cosmic truth. This work explores the profound spiritual connection between the soul and the shifting celestial patterns that science fails to grasp. This item is printed on demand.
