Balinese Horoscope

For Balinese people the days and the minutes can be lucky or unlucky according to their own unique correspond to a simple characteristic such as Monday – ‘moon’day, Sunday -‘sun’day, and Saturday – ‘saturn’ day.
In the Balinese calendar system, the days have many more names and therefore more characteristics which determine their over-all quality. For example Friday August 10, 2007, becomes in the Balinese calendar ‘Jumat Wage, Wuku Krulu’, and so 10 August 2007 will be different from the same date in 2006. Even if two persons were born on the same day, let say between 23 November and 20 December, if they were born in different years they will have the same zodiac sign but not the same characteristic as the result of the different days of the Balinese Horoscope.
Two children who were born on the same date but in different years will have different Balinese birthdays. Those who were born on 18 December, 1998 will have a different birthday, therefore to those born on 18 December, 1999.
In general, both will inherit the characteristics of Sagittarius. A more detailed description of their characteristics can be found, however, in the Balinese horoscope.

Your birth-date
While we wait for readers’ letters we return in this edition to the characteristic and fortunes of LEO (21 July – 21 August). We accept of course that not all people born under the sign of the lion possess identical personality traits. This is due to the fact that many are born on different days.
According to the Balinese Horoscope, people born on January 1 1999, are born on a day called ‘Jumat Umanis, Wuku Merakih’ (Friday), whereas those born on January 1, 2000 will be born on a day called ‘Sabtu Umanis, Wuku Sungsang’ (Saturday). These two days will be determinate of different personality traits even though both are born under the sign of Capricorn.
Being born on Jumat Umanis (1/1, 1999) means the influence of many stars will combine to produce dominant traits such as honesty, proper conduct and direct speaking. There will also be a willingness to help others. Anybody born on this day will be a sucker for bargains, and tend to get mixed up in other people’s business. Meanwhile somebody born on Sabtu Umanis (January 1, 2000) will be influenced by the constellation known in Bali as Bagong (a pot-bellied character from the wayang puppet theatre), and by the moon. He or she will be careful in all things, and diplomatic, too, particularly in written transactions.
