Horoscope for Pisces


Postcard US-2421441 to Czech was a Horoscope card for Pisces (雙魚座), courtesy of Yuanta Securities Investment Trust Co., Ltd. from Taiwan in 2011. Pisces is the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the Pisces constellation, which spans the 330° to 360° of the zodiac, and between 332.75° and 360° of celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac the sun transits this area on average between February 19 and March 20. A pair of fish dressed in colorful costumes are shown on the card. The symbol of the fish is derived from the ichthyocentaurs, a pair of creatures in the Greek mythology with the upper body of a human, the lower front of a horse, and the tail of a fish who aided Aphrodite when she was born from the sea. The card suggested that the lucky numbers for Pisces were 4, 8, 3 and the trending colors were blue, black and gold.

SuperGraphic: Blue Cats by Rina Z


Postcard BY-1535613 from Belarus shows a painting of Blue Cats by artist Rina Z from Minsk, Belarus, who is specialized in watercolor, raster (digital) graphics, and mixed technique. Her cats are blue only in color, not in their mood, as they are always positive, energetic and adventurous. 

Coincidentally, the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is hosting a "Lucky Cat" exhibition, showcasing a 9-foot or 2.75-meter chrome-finished Japanese style maneki-neko (招財貓), the fortunate beckoning cat said to bring good luck and money to business establishments. Therefore, you would often see a Lucky Cat at the entrance of Asian jewel shops and restaurants beckoning and greeting customers by waving it's paw. The Cosmopolitan Lucky Cat extends this concept further by sharing its good fortune with its guests: guests over 21 years old can touch the Lucky Cat's paw once a day to receive a Cosmopolitan promotion.

Finding Luck on Friday the 13th


I found interesting that someone would choose a card, as shown on US-2741852, with a set of dices. Maybe she understood that I, living in the Sin City, could use more chances and lucks. Las Vegas Sun, a local newspaper, ran an article today arguing 13 reasons  for Las Vegas to be a lucky place even on Friday the 13th. Some of the postcards happen to show those lucky places mentioned in that article. Among them are the Brahma Shrine at Caesar PalaceStatues at Caesars PalaceBellagio Fountains, and the Welcome Sign,

Did I also mention that there was a full moon at its perigee as well? Awoo...
