I have not read or seen reference to this information before and found it quite interesting -- I just wish they would have elaborated more .... I will be  looking now for more information as it has peaked my interest and I am a Virgo... I don't think I have quite enough Dinar to reach that status right  after CE but who knows ... If I manage it well it could happen.... UNEEK

 

12 Percent of Billionaires Are Virgos

If you combined Harper’s Index with its Findings section and dramatically lowered the research quality of both, you would get my mind after a good Internet k-hole. Here are all the things I learned this week.

 

On February 15, 2013, a 10-ton meteor entered the atmosphere at 33,000 miles per hour and exploded in the sky over the Russian town of Chelyabinsk with a force 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb at Hiroshima.

 

The explosion, brighter than the sun, shattered 100,000 square meters of window glass; the temperature in Chelyabinsk was -6°C. On the same day, an asteroid named DA14 came within 17,000 miles of Earth, as close as a DirecTV satellite.

 

The odds of these two events occurring on the same day is estimated to be 1 in 100 million, almost the same as the odds of being crushed to death by a vending machine and better than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.

 

A space object made of rock or metal is an asteroid. A space object made of dirt or ice is a comet. When a part breaks off from an asteroid or a comet and enters the Earth’s atmosphere, it’s a meteor—a shooting star.

 

In 2007, the publishing company that owns “When You Wish Upon a Star” sued the distributors behind “Family Guy” for spoofing the song in an episode called “When You Wish Upon a Weinstein,” but the lawsuit was thrown out two years later, the judge citing parody as separate from copyright infringement.

 

If a shooting star makes it to Earth without burning up, it’s a meteorite; found meteorites are worth up to $1,000 per gram, although meteorite researchers often charge 20% of the specimen’s price in exchange for analysis and confirmation.

 

The largest asteroid is the dwarf planet Ceres, which is named after the classical goddess of agriculture, known in Greek myth as Demeter. In Demeter’s legend, her daughter Persephone is kidnapped by Pluto and taken to hell; the grief-stricken goddess wanders the earth, forgetting her duties, until the world begins to wither as “excessive rain destroys, the winds destroy, the constellations harm.”

 

 Around 66 million years ago, something similar happened after an asteroid 6 miles in diameter hit Earth near the Yucatan Peninsula, creating a dust cloud that blocked the sun for a year and killed off 75% of plant and animal species, including all the dinosaurs.

 

Some astrologers associate Ceres with the sign of Virgo, which is the most common zodiac sign among the super-wealthy (12% of billionaires, including Warren Buffett, are Virgos).

 

The least common sign among billionaires is Sagittarius (6%). The celebrity astrologer Susan Miller says that around 73 percent of her readers went to college or graduate school, and 38 percent earn above $150,000, which is what 88% of Americans say they’d need to make to feel financially secure.

 

“In the end,” Miller told a reporter from Interview magazine, “the outcome will be up to you. It is important to know that astrology is not fortune telling. Never underestimate the power of your personality and your determination.”

 

A TMZ reporter recently asked Warren Buffett, “When you go to the club, do you make it rain?” He didn’t answer.

 

 In 2007, NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones infamously made it rain at the Minxx strip club in Las Vegas, then attempted to collect his strewn money to make it rain again; when a dancer tried to keep the cash, he slammed her against the stage and started a brawl that led to two shootings and a victim settlement of $11.6 million.

 

In the early twentieth century, America saw a proliferation of “rainmakers” who claimed they could induce precipitation to stave off drought.

 

The San Diego city council hired a rainmaker named Charles M. Hatfield to fill the Morena Dam reservoir, offering a fee of $1,000 per inch. After Hatfield accepted, rain started to fall on San Diego and continued with little respite for two weeks, at which point 20 people were dead and the county’s infrastructure was nearly destroyed.

 

Hatfield successfully avoided the lawsuit and continued working as a rainmaker until the Great Depression forced him to resume his previous career selling sewing machines.

 

Jia Tolentino lives in Ann Arbor. And has been known to spend some time on the internet.

That sure was an interesting piece. I, too, am a Virgo so I would be more than happy to join Warren Buffet and other billionaires. I, however, don't want fame of any kind!

I agree with you on that  note -- fame is a double edged sword ..... as is a few other things  .... thanks for your comments... I will continue looking for  more info to share .. maybe my books and study in numerology will reveal something   .. of course  "many" are very skeptical of such claims ... to each his own ....

LOL, well, I too figure I am going to be quite well off, don't know if it will be that big, but depends on Adam's plans after the RV. We could all be part of that B crowd, don't know if me being born in September will have anything to do with it...but I will take what I can get. LOL. Maybe we just have more looking at the world as being half full of opportunities, rather than half empty...so to speak. I am always looking for a way to make my retirement fund grow, rather it be flipping houses or trucking. But I like the idea of doing it this way. Not as much over head. :twothumbs: And it is all mine to do with as I choose. It will be mine to make or break...so diversify is the name of the game. I like it.

You might be thankful you're not a Virgo. I drive myself and others with being too analytical and want everything just so. I even want my cash to all be facing a certain way and organized in bigger bills at the back with smaller ones In the front. I want them relatively crisp, not torn and certainly not written on. I check my change back and if it's any of the above I want them to change it out with something presentable. Even my dinars are nicely organized and very pretty to look at, but I think everyone here would agree that this habit is okay!

 Thanks for sharing -- wow  what you stated fits me exactly also -- these traits of being analytical & a perfectionist  can be extremely helpful "at times" but a two edged sword at others -  but of course any extreme  is never healthy -- a real slob is no fun to live with either lol

 

Being analytical - critical - and a perfectionist means towards yourself  and can turn into self abuse if extreme -- towards others can be a real  serious problem for sure

 

I owned my own cleaning business for many years and people loved the way I reorganized their linen closets and pantries  -  I never wad up paper to put in the trash lol it is always folded --- grrrr - seriously  ---  all canned food labels are turned facing to the front and in  their order of beans --  soups , fruit etc and spices in alphabetical order   -  all towels , washcloths, etc were folded with seams to inside - colors together - labels/tag cut off  --  it is insane sometimes  ---  the frustration  --  I have eased  up to a degree but not because I have changed the way I want things but because working 7 days a week forces me to let some things go -  lol

Uneek, we have to be related somehow. I bet your clients really appreciated your tidying up the line's! I have the same habits: all my can goods are arranged the same way and actually my pantry would do any perfectionist proud. My spices are also alphabetical (I actually have them in old test tubes and arranged on my kitchen wall. All towels and linens are folded in a particular way and put up neatly where folded edges are not seen. Clothing is quite simple, only three colors: black, white and gray, all arranged within their color and hangers (which are identical) facing the me same way. The fridge is always organized, with the Lock & Lock containers neatly stacked. I only have white dishes, cups and everything in the kitchen is white (makes seeing dirt easier). My vehicle is also cleaned weekly. I loathe riding in a dirty car. I also like the minimalist decor as it makes my apparent OCD easier to manage.

I promised myself when the RV hits, I'll get myself to a topnotch psychotherapist to get myself sorted out. Should I ask for a group rate for any fellow dinarians who also have this trait? Lol

I'm a Libra....that's anywhere between 6 to 12%...... :backflip:

No worries. You'll also do very well!
