Aura Photos, Astrological Readings, Talks about planting with the moon cycle… Sound interesting? Then why not join us for an afternoon of fun and festivities as we celebrate the Year of the Water Dragon!
The Dragon is a legendary animal and symbol of the emperor in China. Since the Dragon is coated with mysterious color, Chinese consider that the dragon is unpredictable, untouchable and people cannot see its head and tail at the same time. Therefore, we might see something unexpected happening in 2012. Also a person with too many dragons in the Chinese astrology birth chart will become smarter, sly and unpredictable in the coming year.
Maggie will provide card readings at $1 per minute and Sally will offer foot reflexology at $1 per minute. There will be Jewelry… and soaps… and veils… and ? Keep watching as updates come in and don’t forget to reserve your spots if Aura Photos and Astrological readings are on your agenda. These spots are filling quickly!
