The Optimisim and Opportunity Map
The Optimism and Opportunity Map shows geographic areas where you feel more outgoing and you are likely to socialize and become involved in many different activities. There is also a tendency to feel optimistic and to draw opportunities through encounters with others. The Optimism and Opportunity Map shows places that are likely to be pleasurable and bring activities into your life that are fun and interesting.

Areas on the map that are tinted with a red color are the best areas. Yellow areas are also good, but not as powerful as the red areas. The orange-colored areas fall in between the red and yellow areas in intensity. A geographic area varies from light yellow (slight emphasis) to deep red (strongest emphasis).

An area with no coloration is not an area that is specifically indicated for increased optimism and opportunity. However, you should also refer to the Business and Career Map, Friendship and Family Map, and other Maps because, for example, an area that is indicated as being strong for business is an area where you are likely to be very active and successful, and this success will bring opportunities for socializing and enjoyable activities. Similarly, an area indicated as positive in the Friendship and Family Map is a place where you are likely to feel very comfortable and at home, and all areas of your life tend to blossom and develop when you are located in a place where you feel at home. In some ways, the Optimism and Opportunity Map is secondary in importance to the Friendship and Family Map because most people thrive only in a place where they feel at home. The Optimism and Opportunity Map is also important because it shows areas where you tend to enjoy activities with other people and to widen your circle of activiites and friends. This does not mean that if you live in an area that does not have a yellow or red tint in the Optimism and Opportunity Map that you are destined to a boring life that does not bring any benefits and pleasures to you. It simply means that the emphasis of this place is not as outgoing, social, and expansive as the areas that are tinted yellow or red.

You should use common sense when studying your Optimism and Opportunity Map. For example, if you move to a place where you will be a member of a large and fiendly company, church group, or other group of people, then of course you are likely to have many opportunities for interesting and fun activiies with others. On the other hand, an area that is tinted yellow or red in the Optimism and Opportunity Map is likely to bring a wider circle of activities and friends, a buoyancy and ease that is more than what you would expect.

Note also that astrology is not fatalistic. It is up to you to utilize the energies available to you in the best possible way. Astrology can help you better understand what kinds of energies underlie your present situation, and thereby help you to take the right steps to improve your life.

The Optimism and Opportunity Map shows areas where you are most likely to have an expansive and outgoing lifestyle. There are also qualitative differences to various geographic areas. Given below is a brief explanation of the influences that are in your Optimism and Opportunity Map. If you follow the lines through the map, you will see astrological symbols in a light yellow or pink oval-shaped area. Locate the symbol on the pages below to see what the "flavor" of this influence is. In the description of these astrological influences we frequently emphasize what you can do to utilize the astrological influence to best advantage. As we said earlier, astrology is not fatalistic and should never be an excuse for failure or problems in your life. You have the ability and opportunity each day to express the energies available to you in new, creative, positive life-enhancing ways.

Areas of intensity on your Optimism and Opportunity Map are very sensitive to accuracy of birth time. On average, a difference of 1 minute in the time of birth can move the astrological influence about 15 miles in an east-west direction. Because it is very possible that your birth time can be inaccurate by a few minutes, you may find that the Education and Communication Map can pinpoint the towns and cities that are most suitable for you, but you must rely on your own intuition to guide you to the most suitable areas within that town.

Your Optimism and Opportunity Map is based on the most sophisticated and accurate astrological techniques available. These astrological influences have not yet been scientifically verified and astrology is a very controversial subject, but we do believe that there is validity to this map, and we hope you find it useful.
