I can give you the Oracle for the 30th of January, when the Sun's placement is 10 degree Aquarius. It goes like this : "A MAN WHO HAD FOR A TIME BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF A POPULAR IDEAL IS MADE TO REALIZE THAT AS A PERSON HE IS NOT THIS IDEAL". The need to deal with human beings as persons rather than as screens upon which one projects one's dream and ideal. The "star" on the movie screen is not the actual person. A critical need for self-revaluation. Careful about a pattern of attracting or being attracted to something that has no real value in relation to your true path. It is the inner sense of worth that counts at the end. As a Numerologist, 30th of January is about the numbers : 30 and 1. You may want to check the significance of these two numbers in : http://catherinephilosophie.wo rdpress.com "Game 3 : a TEST using numbers" There, you will also be able to check the significance, numerologically speaking, of your full date of birth, which you have not given us here. Take care. |

I will travell from moscow to I am an Ethiopian studing in
Russia, so i want to go back
home for holiday and i booked
a flight from moscow to addis
ababa via Paris(CDG). For
changing planes from Air
France to Ethiopian Air Lines
it will take four hour. That
means transit visa is
necessary?

Visa is not required if you are at the airport all the time, in the transit area. By the way, changing planes cannot be THIS LONG. I suppose, these 4 hours are just a time gap between your two connecting flights: after 1 hr (if any checked-in luggage is to be taken care of) you will be at the next flight gate already, the remaining time you can spend shopping or having snacks at the airport :) |
