"Life After Life" documentary on Near-Death Experiences

In Life After Life Raymond Moody investigates case studies of people who experienced “clinical death” and were subsequently revived.

This classic exploration of life after death started a revolution in popular attitudes about the afterlife and established Dr. Moody as the world’s leading authority in the field of near-death experiences.

The extraordinary stories presented here provide evidence that there is life after physical death, as Moody recounts the testimonies of those who have been to the “other side” and back — all bearing striking similarities of an overwelming positive nature.

These moving and inspiring accounts give us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that await us all.

Virgo Profile
Virgos are the sixth sign of the zodiac. They have an extremely analytical mind, ready to minimize and organize, categorize and stick labels on everything to make sure everything is returned to its' correct place. Often feel motivated to work for a noble cause, which helps them forget their concerns about possible issues in their own lives. Their refined analytical skills make Virgos invaluable in difficult situations that require problem-solving and a sequential approach.

They are commonly known as the "perfectionist" of the zodiac, which means they will do everything in their power to do their best, and often push themselves beyond what is humanly possible, often causing themselves, and sometimes others, stress from their self-imposed idealistic standards. Their mind can be their greatest asset when put to work on vital projects, but can cause them anguish if they focus on minor issues and on what is lacking. One of the major lessons for the Virgo is to learn balance between their emotions and their strong intellect and powers of reasoning. If Virgos allow themselves to worry, they often develop tummy upsets and fragile nerves, so incorporating some daily playfulness and relaxation is vital for a Virgo, even more so than other star signs. Due to their highly practical nature, their creative expression is often channelled either in to writing or creating, or decorating, objects that are not only beautiful but useful. Virgo's also possess highly developed physical senses, which often makes them expert cooks and skilled lovers.

Virgos usually bring their work home or think about work even when they are supposed to be relaxing. Those Virgos who work from home may find it hard to sit still because there is "always something that needs to get done". Virgos are typically logical, hardworking, persistent and disciplined. Although, Virgo's are the sign of purity and "the Virgin", deep romantic involvements is one aspect of their lives that Virgos are anything but restrained, tending towards passion and exuberance. However, Virgos need to resist the temptation to direct and control their relationships at times. Usually ultraclean, the Virgos normally fastidious nature may be toned down if other influences in their astrological chart predominate.

Virgos are the sign star most likely to choose a partner of the same star sign. If they do not choose another Virgo as their partner, they are often found in the company of one of the other earth signs - Taurus or Capricorn; however there are always exceptions to this rule.

Virgos typically have exceptionally strong power of concentration and focus. When they have set their goals, Virgos will move any mountain in the way to achieve it. They are not angry by nature, but are not people to trifle with, because if you push them too far, too often, you are going to be dealing with a formidable opponent. Since Virgos are extremely cautious, they tend to take a while to get started on their greatest goals, but they are so well-planned that once they begin, Virgos are ready for just about anything.

Virgos are usually supremely capable, and able to handle most situations on their own if they have to, though normally long to be part of a couple. Though Virgos are typically extremely intelligent, they often do not recognize their own abilities and need those who know and love the Virgo, to point out to them, their fabulous qualities.

Straightforward and honest, Virgos are often popular with those who want the truth without the "sugar-coating".

Virgo is an Earth sign sharing its ruling planet of Mercury with the air sign - Gemini. Mercury is the planet of communication, revealing that Virgos (as well as Gemini's) possess a talent for expressing their thoughts, ideas, and feelings exceptionally well, through the written and spoken word.

A person in authority may see your abilities and encourage you to try out for a different role, providing additional opportunities to improve your skills and your financial situation. Your work hours could possibly increase as a result, but make sure that your loved ones and family don't miss out spending quality time with you.

You may be feeling more independent and self-sufficient than you have for a long while. This strengthening of your self-worth will stay with you, and you will finally realize that you are more capable and resilient than you ever believed yourself to be. Though you normally have excellent money management skills, you will be further honing your abilities to make the most of your finances which can provide the expertise to avoid possible financial pitfalls in future.

These moments of brilliance will also help you to enjoy some delightful surprises. Virgos will experience a cycle in which they will want to make a significant contribution, feeling motivated to get involved in activities or duties that are community based, or jobs and businesses related to bringing or happiness, with fortunate results.

2012
Overview
Your long term plans will reach their fruition in 2012, and great opportunities are likely to cross your path. With the Sun in a favourable position, you will find your energy at a higher level than previous years, and feeling more enthusiastic about your work prospects. You will also be feeling enthusiastic about organizing a number of get-togethers, some for particular celebrations, others simply to spend time with those special in your life.

Your usual Leo straightforwardness may need to be curbed when dealing with family issues this year, in order to avoid a disagreement with a relative. Handling family discussions with logical reasoning and diplomacy, may instead, help to keep the peace.

You may feel tempted, or pushed, to burn the candle at both ends during 2012, which could lead to allergies, abdominal aches, and other digestive problems that could stifle your usual zest. Instead, try to take some out to relax and replenish yourself to avoid such complications.

Jupiter will be hanging around your zodiac sign in 2012, and as the planet of joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, and global perspectives, you could be reaping rewards you never expected. Prosperity and abundance are within your grasp if you are still willing to work at your dreams despite the obstacles.
Saturn creates some personal challenges and learning experiences, but it could also reward you with a job promotion, professional kudos, and public recognition.

With Uranus residing in your ninth house during 2012, you will find long-distance travel, multicultural studies, languages, religions, politics, laws, philosophies, universities, mass media, and global awareness featuring in your life in a big or positive way. Global networking, international teamwork, spontaneous travel, and internet education could be very helpful and provide you with a great sense of satisfaction. Be careful with legal issues and do your best not to accidentally offend others. This is also a wonderful time to begin or return to studies.

2012 will mark a time in which more than one fascinating person will cross your path, and if you are single, you may find one of these people could turn into a potential partner but before you get too involved, make sure you are genuinely compatible, not simply extremely attracted to each other.

Your career should really benefit from Pluto's placement in your chart, channelling you into new duties, even a possible new employment position or business opportunity. You will find yourself acquiring important new skills or knowledge that will aid you in your journey to achieve greater success.

If you decide you are ready to take on more work responsibilities, a leadership role will give you a chance to shine in ways in which you had never had the opportunity before.

If the work demands get a little too much in August, you may have to delegate some of your duties to others, or arrange a little time to recharge your batteries. Acknowledgement and respect for work achievements may present themselves, but you might have to wait a little longer to see any financial rewards.

Love
During 2012, either an established relationship will go through a transformation or you will find yourself drawn to a new person. You may find yourself going through a major phase of development, finally understanding and applying those life lessons that may have been repeated more than once. If romance becomes a little predictable, you will find yourself searching for a new way to spice things up. Love and friendships will improve due to your warm, affectionate nature. You will feel a real need to show and speak how you feel about those you care about. An opportunity for a new friendship or romance is likely to surface and it is could turn out to be a very valuable connection. Try to avoid letting hidden passions, jealousy and fears surface and disturb what could be a healthy, happy relationship. A former friendship or love relationship will be given new life by your willingness to trust and open up.

You may be feeling the urge to delve into the deeper and more passionate side of love. Though this may bring up old fears or past hurts, eventually you will find this adventure into love and expression of trust, rewarding. It will also teach you something new and significant about yourself and your relationship. You are now ready to take your relationship to a new level of care, mutuality and understanding. In personal relationships you will have no problems being clear about what is on your mind with your partner rather than hoping that they will read your mind.

Work and Money
You will feel the need to focus on your savings and changing your financial strategy to improve your monetary situation, but you will feel tempted to spend more than your budget will allow. Contracts or legal documents relating to property will be finalized, and give you the freedom to take the next step in your life.

2012 will be more peaceful on the financial front with a likely financially-beneficial offer. There will be one or more opportunities to make monetary gains which will make you feel you are finally being recognized for your ability or input. Avoid relying too much on the praise or recognition of others because they are more caught up in their own goals or problems than noticing what significant contributions you have made.

A strong urge to travel is likely, and visits to foreign countries are highlighted. For Leo business owners, many new satisfied clients will be attracted to your business due to your new approach. Promotions and new job opportunities are featured in 2012, with some Leo’s leaving their jobs suddenly to try out jobs they had never considered before. Intellectual satisfaction and reputation are also features. For Leos with some money to spare, investments are featured, while others will purchase another property.

Family and Social Life
Employment, education and relationship issues are likely to be resolved in 2012. If parted parents have ongoing legal issues regarding children, resolution, or an agreement to finally sort things out, is likely. Leo’s usually win their arguments by sheer strength of will, but during 2012, arguments with siblings or friends may be avoided, or have a better outcome, if you use a gentler approach. Older members of your family may be feeling the need to be appreciated. Give then care, concern and respect, making them feel wanted and comfortable. Children will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, while single individuals will find themselves drawn to an unusual or extremely interesting person.

Travel
A single long journey is likely for Leos, while those interested in travelling for work will find transfer to another country less likely than previous years. Higher studies will be on your mind if you have not already begun.

Health
Your health and working efficiency will be better than previous years. However make sure you don’t work too hard by putting too much work into your in-box. If you push yourself too hard, you could succumb to minor stomach disorders, knee pain, or blood sugar imbalance.

2013

However, Pluto’s effect may balance these influences, encouraging you to develop your imaginative side and a greater ability to express yourself creativity. All you need to do is follow your inspirations and you will make wonderful things happen.

If you are planning to start a new venture, you will find the second half of the year, a prime time to begin. You are usually a dynamo of energy, but this year, it is crucial you take some time out to devote exclusively to yourself, and enjoy some relaxing and fun activities in your own company like checking out the latest film, exploring your neighbourhood or taking that course of study you have always wanted to attempt.

Social events are likely to bring great joy and verve into your life in 2013. Just remember to say yes, to at least a few invitations, this year.

Cancer 2012 Predictions
The sign of Cancer, otherwise known as the Crab, is known for their loving, caring attitude and dedication to loved ones along with an enthusiastic dynamic that seems to surround them despite their private nature. Cancerians can be quite emotional at times, wallowing in nostalgia and often allowing sensitivity to certain situations to get the best of them.

Creativity abounds during the first half of 2012 as Cancer find themselves being even more innovative and energetic than usual. However, because of the combined and constant influences of planets Venus and Mars, Crabs need to be careful not to allow that energy to turn into hyperactivity which can wear them out prematurely.
The Crab could be in store for a rather special year in 2012 with good news on the horizon as well as the opportunity to enjoy special occasions with equally special people.

The planetary positions for Cancer during 2012, point to change, especially in relations with your associates. Children are likely to demand greater independence. Near and dear ones will also undergo significant transformations. It can be in the form of one of your friends planning to launch a new project or someone dealing with an emotional challenge. This will lead to personal evolution.

Cancerians are dreamy yet moody, and at times need to control their fear of change.
By remaining calm and treating the situation as just another phase, good times will abound, especially if you point yourself towards your aspirations.

2012 will be full of hidden surprises, the biggest surprise developments on the work front, kicking off in the second half of the year. Keep your options open on the work front, aware that what might look like a very ordinary year for work, job and employment matters, will be anything but by the end of the year. There is a real need to pay attention for following just behind is Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies, returns to your career sector early in the year, beginning a powerful new professional chapter that will likely continue to impact on your life until 2026. Saturn’s return to your work sector on the 6th October is a game changer and marks the beginning of a close working relationship between Saturn and Neptune that will define your professional changes over the next three years. But after the North Node’s return to your work sector on the 30th August and the solar eclipse on the 14th November indicates that very active and potentially successful months lay ahead on the work front. Your professional star is not only on the rise this year, but will continue to rise for many years to come.

Cancerians should expect a mixed year of both uneventful months peppered with those filled with both excitement and challenges.2012 will also be a year which marks your own transformation - it's a time for "out with the old, in with the new".

Attitudes toward those significant in your life will undergo change this year with interesting life lessons likely in June and September.

Your attitude towards health and work are also changing, and circumstances will encourage you to develop healthier habits, routines, and schedules. You will stop hanging on to regrets, doubts or guilt and develop greater faith in yourself and trust in your higher purpose. You may find you are letting go of your fears, and developing growing feelings of compassion and understanding and acting upon these spiritual motivations. If you have had perfectionist traits, you might find that although your standards are still high, you will stop giving yourself, and others, a hard time about not getting things “just so”.

Cancer is almost synonymous with everything related to home, family and the parental bond, particularly the mother-child relationship. Cancerians are typically very emotional in nature and tend to be caring and supportive of their loved ones. The home is where the Cancerian’s heart and soul is, however, what is seldom mentioned, is when a Cancerian has plucked up the courage to travel, they often find themselves “bitten by the travel bug”. As long as they have a comfortable home to which to return, Cancerians commonly develop the passion to see and experience new places and people, though they may put travel aside when they take on the responsibility of child-rearing.

With Uranus in Aries, you will feel the need for expressing your individuality, establishing boundaries, taking a stand and, possibly changing the look of your world. Pluto’s influence may encourage you to look at your finances and improve your monetary position, and sticking to a budget may not be as difficult than in previous years.

You may find yourself not agreeing with authority figures, but it may be advisable to be diplomatic if you feel things need to change in the work environment. Whatever your goals at work may be, negotiation and showing by example may help you to achieve your aims rather than going head to head with managers, bosses or supervisors. Though you may feel like rebelling at times, it may be best to try other, less confrontational, means to improve your work situation and relations with those in the work place.

New and sudden opportunities will spring up in your life, and you will be at your enterprising best as the year unfolds.

You will also find yourself freeing yourself of situations and people who have blocked you, and taking on extra responsibilities will assist you in achieving your life goals, or assist you to change direction in life. Transformation is on the agenda. This period marks a time in which you can develop, grow and express your potential.

Transformations will affect partnerships, work and possibly even relationships. These changes will encourage times of reflection and help banish underlying tensions that may have been simmering beneath the surface.

You will also find yourself becoming more self-reliant which will clear the way for further improvements in your life. The approval of others will seem less important to you which will also make 2012 a year in which you feel more comfortable to stretch your wings and try things you may have been too worried to try before.
At times you may be feeling rather spontaneous revealing that you are feeling less worried about the outcome and more involved in the process of learning and growing, and ready to enjoy what life has to offer.

After June, you are likely to become more aware of what needs to be let go in your life, and what needs to be tended to help further your aims and make your life look the way you wish it to be.

Home-based business options, revised living arrangements and new career outlets are all accented in 2012. It is time to begin utilizing your own creativity, life experience and insight to bring greater financial and social success into your life. After mid-July complex travel plans, relocation or powerfully creative home improvements will captivate your attention. Don't hold back: this is the right time to welcome fast and positive growth into your life. Romantic relationships and social opportunities will dramatically expand over the summer months: expect potential friends and trusted romantic partners to offer delightful invitations and heartfelt proposals. Single Cancerians can expect the arrival of an exotic and emotionally demanding relationship between August 12th and September 17th. A complex but highly rewarding year: watch for obvious signs of emotional stability and lasting success.

Career and Finances
The trend of the previous year seems to continue this year too. For tangible results you will be putting in plenty of effort, but within reasonable hours and enough energy left at the end of the day to enjoy your free time. Most of the effort will involve using your mind and intellect rather than physically-demanding work. Though you will have competition in the work environment, you are likely to outshine them in performance. Your confidence is likely to increase and you will feel motivated to achieve more than in previous years. People in management will see your efforts and appreciate your contribution to the work environment. If you are looking for a career change, don’t be surprised by others’ glowing recommendations of you, which will certainly put you in a better position to make a favourable career move. The work place may be undergoing major changes which might be worrisome but focus on your goals and do not let what is happening around you deter you from your aspirations. Try to keep your moods in check and nourish your life with positive thoughts. If you have not already determined your long term goals, it may be time to figure out what and how you will achieve a better career or business position, and put your action plan into go.

If you take advantage of the current astrological trends you can make 2012 a profitable year, though you may be tempted to spend more than necessary on food and shopping, so try to resist if you can, at least some of the time. If there are any debts then try to pay them off first. The last two months of the year are extremely favourable for increased financial gains, though preparation for the holiday season may mean some of that money will be accounted for in advance.

Most Cancers enjoy their jobs because they see the workplace as a home away from home. If you are the boss, you are likely to have a sensitive but strong approach to getting the work done and ensuring others do what needs to be done. If anyone is tense and maybe difficult due to their anxiety, try not to let them get to you. Try to be calm and do what needs to be done to keep everything running smoothly and others will appreciate your self-control.

Many Cancerians would rather work in a comfortable and laid-back environment than strive for a more high-powered and demanding job, though successful Cancerians tend to view the workplace as an extension of their family. Most would rather have a calm and peaceful work life rather than strive to become rich and famous. Although when a Cancerian decides to make things happen and has their sights set on the top job or recognition, Cancerians have the intelligence and ability to get there if opportunity comes their way.

From the middle of the year onwards, investments could be favourable but be wary of get rich quick schemes, risky investments, or wasting money on frivolities in September or October. Cancer is characterized by being bold and determined, as well as, highly organized and motivated in achieving what they want. Utilize your strong points and willpower in order to prevail over any work-related complications that you may encounter during the last part of 2012. Ambitious and goal-oriented commonly describes Cancer who at times appears to have boundless sources of energy at their disposal. Try to avoid conflicts with superiors at work in the middle of the year and rely on your inner strengths and determination to overcome any obstacles at the end of 2012 on the work front.

Health
In matters of health and physical well being, Cancer should enjoy a relatively uneventful year in 2012. With the exception of a few minor upsets with digestion or similar stomach problems occurring anywhere from late July to mid October, the Crab shouldn't have much to worry about in regards to good health.
Most Cancerians are often healthy throughout their lives. However, they are more prone towards developing nervous problems and circulatory diseases later in their life. Cancerians may have some sensitivity in their kidneys or urinary tract, so drinking enough water daily is often a good idea. Cancer people who have cared for their well-being and eat a healthy diet are not likely to have any major problems around their health in 2012.

Love and Friendship
Most Cancerians will be aiming for a peaceful love life this year. Previous difficulties are likely to be resolved and harmony will begin to prevail. If you have a partner, they will probably see valuable advice or support from you and find your company comforting. Cancerians tend to dream of candle light dinners and moon lit walks so it is time to act on these romantic daydreams. If you have been planning to enjoy a permanent relationship, this could be the time in which you meet a suitable partner. If a romantic relationship has been going through difficult times, you will find an approach that resolves the situation, either by healing the distance between you or coming to an agreement to remedy the situation another way.
