We can be tempted to look through some magazines or books and get inspired by something that catches our eye at the time. Often, a snap decision may result in regret. How many cross stitchers have bought a kit or chart on the spur of the moment, only to realise their mistake later? [/b][/color] [color=blue][/color] [color=blue][b]One more positive area of choice involves astrological signs. Not everyone believes in the power in Astrology to determine our futures, but for many of us, our astrological sun sign is part of who we are. For example – I am a Libran. I am happy to know about my apparent sense of justice and fairness. I am less enthralled to consider my faults of sitting on the fence and generally dithering when I am required to make a decision - and also prizing beauty over quality. Nevertheless, knowing the irksome traits that I am supposed to have, I am highly motivated to rise above them. So that’s a good thing, I tell myself.[/b][/color] [color=blue][/color] [color=blue][b]The world that we live in is always an uncertain place, and people have always striven to make some sort of sense of it. So Astrology has been considered a source of guidance and help; interpreting the movements and influences of the planets and stars to determine destinies. In our current world, where so many of us feel as if we are being carried along by forces that we are unable to influence (the Credit Crunch being one example) the power and vitality of Astrology can be very appealing.[/b][/color] [color=blue][/color] [color=blue][b]Another aspect of using astrological signs as cross stitch designs is that there are many beautiful designs to choose from. My own favourite cross stitch resource is a book by Julie Hasler called ‘Fantasy Cross Stitch’ in which there are some intriguing designs for people who love rich designs. Whether you take these ancient beliefs seriously or not, these images are fascinating and make wonderful designs in their own right.[/b][/color] [color=blue][b]They are suitable for cards or for small pictures; just right for gifts - or a special present for yourself… [/b][/color] [color=blue][/color] [color=blue][b]Happy Stitching![/b][/color] [b][size=3][color=red]REPOST FOR YOUR REFERENCE![/color][/size][/b] [useip] => 58.34.135.228 [port] => 0 [invisible] => 0 [anonymous] => 0 [usesig] => 0 [htmlon] => 0 [bbcodeoff] => 0 [smileyoff] => -1 [parseurloff] => 0 [attachment] => 0 [rate] => 0 [ratetimes] => 0 [status] => 0 [tags] => 01366,Astrological 3279,cross 5853,Inspiration 10339,Stitching [comment] => 1 [replycredit] => 0 [position] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [pid] => 9337727 [fid] => 84 [tid] => 1474 [first] => 0 [author] => mipontitos [authorid] => 45138 [subject] => [dateline] => 1453035405 [message] => I agree with you fully.

Astrological Inspiration for Cross Stitching

When we are choosing our next project – whether it is a treat for ourselves, or a gift or card for someone who is a family member, or a friend – it can be a tricky decision. We can be tempted to look through some magazines or books and get inspired by something that catches our eye at the time. Often, a snap decision may result in regret. How many cross stitchers have bought a kit or chart on the spur of the moment, only to realise their mistake later?

One more positive area of choice involves astrological signs. Not everyone believes in the power in Astrology to determine our futures, but for many of us, our astrological sun sign is part of who we are. For example – I am a Libran. I am happy to know about my apparent sense of justice and fairness. I am less enthralled to consider my faults of sitting on the fence and generally dithering when I am required to make a decision - and also prizing beauty over quality. Nevertheless, knowing the irksome traits that I am supposed to have, I am highly motivated to rise above them. So that’s a good thing, I tell myself.

The world that we live in is always an uncertain place, and people have always striven to make some sort of sense of it. So Astrology has been considered a source of guidance and help; interpreting the movements and influences of the planets and stars to determine destinies. In our current world, where so many of us feel as if we are being carried along by forces that we are unable to influence (the Credit Crunch being one example) the power and vitality of Astrology can be very appealing.

Another aspect of using astrological signs as cross stitch designs is that there are many beautiful designs to choose from. My own favourite cross stitch resource is a book by Julie Hasler called ‘Fantasy Cross Stitch’ in which there are some intriguing designs for people who love rich designs. Whether you take these ancient beliefs seriously or not, these images are fascinating and make wonderful designs in their own right.
They are suitable for cards or for small pictures; just right for gifts - or a special present for yourself…

Happy Stitching!

So it's about the stars and their setting. Yes! I too believe that those have a meaning. But I believe the power of it all lies with the Person who made the stars and set them in the sky long ago.  Post time 2021-3-21 21:13

You really have the point. I've seen many Astrological patterns, so pretty they make me feel sorry I'm not some other sign, (or better all signs!) - and I'm Aquarius - so I can stitch them for myself.
The Chinese zodiac also gives many beautiful and meaningful ideas for cross stitch. My sister is born in the year of the rat, so I gave her little mouse {:3_52:}
