Eckhart Tolle wrote The Power of Now years ago. Mine has a copyright date of 1999 and I have bought and given away many copies since then. I have read thousands of books on matters spiritual, philosphical and magickal over the years but when someone gave me the Desert Island book question I said that the only two books I would need would be The Power of Now and the Complete Works of Shakespeare. The querent was horrified that I didn’t pick The Holy Bible.

Since I posted the article about why I dropped studying astrology as a life blueprint system and began using numerology instead I’ve had several local people who read the site and know me, ask me about it. They were all conversant with some House System or other as used to calculate their natal chart.

So here is a little more about house systems as an introduction as to why I do use something that seems totally arbitrary like the Gregorian calendar and the numerology based on the ideas of Pythagoras, and some more recent followers of Carl Jung.
