Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Myth: They are weak and defenseless
Many mistakenly perceive Cancer's sensitivity and emotionality as a sign of weakness, but this is far from the truth. In many ways, they are one of the strongest signs of the zodiac.
Truth: Cancer is very resilient and can handle many situations.
The real strength of Cancer lies in their exceptional tenacity and unwillingness to give up when they want something. The motive that guides them should inspire them, and they have sufficient mental strength that allows them to overcome any difficulties and not give up.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Myth: They are self-centered and never doubt themselves.
When the Lions are around and walk around with a pompous air as if they don’t care about anything in this life, it’s easy to fall into the delusion that they don’t doubt anything. But believe me, they have the same complexes and doubts as all other people on our planet.
Truth: They can be very sensitive and watch what others think of them.
Although they will never admit it or show it, except maybe close friends or family, Leos are actually very sensitive and care what others think of them. They want to be liked and sometimes worry too much about how they are perceived.

Myth: They hate everyone and want to be alone.
Sometimes Virgos are considered anti-social and prefer to stay away from people. However, in reality, when they are with those they love, they can be a lot of fun. Also, thanks to their sharp mind, they can become the most fascinating interlocutors.
Truth: They need some time before they can open up to someone new.
The truth is that Virgos need more time to be more friendly to new people. Other signs may mistakenly think they are cold, but in reality, they are just a little shy. Once they feel comfortable, Virgos will start to open up and may even show off their flighty side.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Myth: They are fake and fake
Libras have, in a way, acquired a reputation for being fake and insincere. However, in reality, although they may sometimes tell harmless lies to spare someone's feelings, when it comes to important things, they are one of the most honest and truthful people in the entire Zodiac.
Truth: They try to find a compromise to keep everyone happy.
Libras are diplomats and mediators at heart who want to bring people together and make everyone happy. Many mistakenly consider them indecisive, but in fact, they are simply ready to compromise and meet the other person.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
Myth: They hate everyone
Sometimes Scorpios seem cold and aloof, and some people may incorrectly believe that they just don't like anyone. However, in reality, once you have won their friendship, they become the most loyal and reliable people you will ever meet.
Truth: They need time to start trusting others.
One of the reasons Scorpios seem to put up walls around themselves is that they take longer to start trusting people and are very careful about who they let into their world. But, if you give them time and don't try to force things, the wait will be worth it.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Myth: They are always cheerful and never get upset.
Sagittarians are so open and cheerful that it's easy to believe that they never have bad mood. However, the truth is that although they try to hide it carefully, they also have hard periods, just like everyone else.
Truth: They may act joyfully to hide their true feelings.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Sagittarians is their inexhaustible optimism. Of course, they are trying to create a positive image, but often they do it in order not to show negative emotions. It's just that they are quite selective in who they reveal these feelings to.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Myth: They are boring and don't know how to have fun.
The practical side of Capricorn and willingness to work hard often leads to being perceived as boring and nerdy. However, in fact, it may be one of the most interesting people who you have ever met, if you make friends of course.
Truth: They work hard to reap the rewards of their labor later.
It's not that Capricorns like to work more than others. They just understand that without work they will not be able later to get from life what they aspire to. They think ahead and are willing to put in the effort now to reap the rewards of success in the future.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
Myth: They are incapable of deep thoughts and feelings.
Sometimes it seems that Aquarians are aloof, and it is difficult to establish personal contact with them, because many mistakenly think that little is happening in their head and heart. But this is very far from the truth, because although they do not say it out loud, they have a very lively mind, and they are one of the most thoughtful people in the Zodiac.
Truth: Sometimes they think best when they're on their own.
Best of all, Aquarius manages to think alone. Do not think that Aquarius does not like people, as they can often give rise to ideas and thoughts when they are away from all the chaos that is happening around.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Myth: They are not of this world
Sometimes people perceive Pisces as completely unique individuals, and sometimes just eccentric. The truth is that they operate on a completely different level, with a unique view of the world.
Truth: They prefer to be in the clouds so as not to focus on negative energy.
Pisces are not so much eccentric as they tend to get away from reality. They see no point in focusing their attention on negative sides of this world and prefer to focus on dreams and the good that surrounds them.
In the life of every person there are situations that are not so easy to believe. There are times when it is generally impossible to believe in what is happening, and sometimes scary.

Often people attribute supernatural or paranormal properties and reasons for their occurrence to coincidences. Believers often attach a religious background to amazing coincidences in the history of mankind, as if everything is predetermined and over time is simply realized in our lives.
Are there coincidences, and do they make sense?
Mathematics, or rather a part of its science - statistics, claims that it is impossible to avoid coincidences, most of them occur regularly in our lives, but we attach importance to only some of them. For example, the probability that a student will have the same birthday as a classmate exceeds 50% if there are at least 23 people in his group.
It is difficult to look for meaning in things and events, the causes of which are not fully known. Having met a person whose date of birth coincides with ours, we seek, find and give this incident some kind of sacred meaning.

Both of the supposedly unsinkable ships hit the ice mountain in April with a host of celebrities on board.

prophecy letter
Writer Yevgeny Petrov had a strange and rare hobby: all his life he collected envelopes ... from his own letters! He did it this way - he sent a letter to some country. Everything except the name of the state, he invented - the city, street, house number, name of the addressee, so after a month and a half the envelope returned to Petrov, but already decorated with multi-colored foreign stamps, the main one of which was: "The addressee is incorrect." But in April 1939, the writer decided to disturb the New Zealand Post Office. He came up with a city called "Hydebirdville", "Rightbeach" street, "7" house and the addressee "Merrill Augene Weisley".
In the letter itself, Petrov wrote in English: “Dear Merrill! Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Pete. Brace yourself, old man. Forgive me for not writing for a long time. I hope Ingrid is all right. Kiss my daughter for me. She's probably quite big. Your Eugene. More than two months have passed, but the letter with the appropriate mark has not been returned. Deciding that it was lost, Evgeny Petrov began to forget about it. But then August came, and he waited ... for a response letter. At first, Petrov decided that someone had played a joke on him in his own spirit. But when he read the return address, he was in no mood for jokes. The envelope said: "New Zealand, Hydebirdville, Wrightbeach 7, Merrill Augene Weisley."
And all this was confirmed by a blue postmark "New Zealand, Hydebirdville Post". The text of the letter read: “Dear Eugene! Thank you for your condolences. The ridiculous death of Uncle Pete knocked us out of the rut for six months. I hope you will forgive the delay in writing. Ingrid and I often think back to those two days you were with us. Gloria is very big and will go to the 2nd grade in the fall. She still keeps the bear you brought her from Russia.” Petrov had never traveled to New Zealand, and therefore he was all the more amazed to see a man in a photograph of a strong build who was hugging ... himself, Petrov! On the reverse side of the picture was written: "October 9, 1938."
Here the writer almost became ill - after all, it was on that day that he was admitted to the hospital in an unconscious state with severe pneumonia. Then, for several days, doctors fought for his life, not hiding from his relatives that he had almost no chance of surviving. To deal with these misunderstandings, or mysticism, Petrov wrote another letter to New Zealand, but he did not wait for an answer: the Second World War had begun. E. Petrov from the first days of the war became a war correspondent for Pravda and the Information Bureau. Colleagues did not recognize him - he became withdrawn, thoughtful, and stopped joking altogether.
prophecy letter
In 1942, the plane on which he flew to the combat area disappeared, most likely, was shot down over enemy territory. And on the day the news of the plane's disappearance was received, Petrov's Moscow address received a letter from Merrill Weisley. Weisley admired the courage of the Soviet people and expressed concern for the life of Yevgeny himself. In particular, he wrote: “I got scared when you started swimming in the lake. The water was very cold. But you said you were destined to crash your plane, not drown. I beg you, be careful - fly as little as possible.

At that moment, when the car was brought to the garage, its engine mysteriously fell out of the body, crushing the legs of the mechanic. The motor was acquired by a certain doctor who placed it in his car.
Soon he died during a racing race. James Dean's car was later fixed, but the garage where it was repaired burned down. The car was exhibited as a landmark in Sacramento, fell off the podium and crushed the thigh of a passing teenager. To top it off, in 1959, the car mysteriously (and completely on its own) fell apart into 11 pieces.
bullet fool
Henry Siegland was sure that he could circle fate around his finger. In 1883, he broke with his beloved, who, unable to bear the separation, committed suicide. The girl's brother, beside himself with grief, grabbed a gun, tried to kill Henry, and believing that the bullet had hit its mark, he shot himself. However, Henry survived: the bullet only slightly grazed his face and entered the trunk of a tree. A few years later, Henry decided to cut down the ill-fated tree, but the trunk was too large, and the task seemed impossible. Then Siegland decided to blow up the tree with a few sticks of dynamite. From the explosion, the bullet, which was still sitting in the trunk of the tree, broke free and hit ... right in the head of Henry, killing him on the spot.
Twins
Stories about twins are always impressive, especially this one about two twin brothers from Ohio. Their parents died when the babies were only a few weeks old. They were adopted by different families and the twins were separated in infancy. From here begins a series of incredible coincidences. Let's start with the fact that both foster families, without consulting and unaware of each other's plans, called the boys the same name - James.
The brothers grew up unaware of the existence of each other, but both received a law degree, both were excellent draftsmen and carpenters, and both married women with the same name Linda. Each of the brothers had sons. One brother named his son James Alan, and the second - James Allan. Both brothers then left their wives and remarried women...with the same name Betty! Each of them was the owner of a dog with the name Toy ... you can continue endlessly. At the age of 40, they learned about each other, met and were amazed that all the time of forced separation they lived one life for two.
One destiny
In 2002, seventy-year-old twin brothers died an hour apart in two unrelated traffic accidents on the same highway in northern Finland! Police representatives claim that there have been no accidents on this section of the road for a long time, so the report of two accidents on the same day with an hour difference was already a shock for them, and when it turned out that twin brothers were the victims, the police officers could not explain what had happened nothing but an incredible coincidence.
Monk Savior
The famous nineteenth-century Austrian portrait painter Joseph Aigner attempted suicide several times. The first time he tried to hang himself at the age of 18, however, he was suddenly stopped by a capuchin monk who appeared out of nowhere. At 22, he tried again, and was again saved by the same mysterious monk. Eight years later, the artist was sentenced to the gallows for his political activities, but the timely intervention of the same monk helped to mitigate the sentence.
At the age of 68, the artist nevertheless committed suicide (shot from a pistol in the temple). The funeral service was held by the same monk - a man whose name no one ever knew. The reasons for such a reverent attitude of the Capuchin monk to the Austrian artist remained unclear.
Sad meeting
In 1858, poker player Robert Fallon was shot dead by a losing opponent who claimed that Robert was a cheat and had won $600 by cheating. Fallon's place at the table was vacated, the winnings remained nearby, and none of the players wanted to take the "unfortunate place". However, the game had to be continued, and the rivals, after conferring, went out of the saloon into the street and soon returned with a young man who happened to be passing by. The newcomer was seated at the table and handed him $600 (Robert's winnings) as his starting bet.
Arriving at the scene of the crime, the police found that the recent killers are playing poker with passion, and the winner is ... a newcomer who managed to turn the $600 initial bet into a $2,200 win! After sorting out the situation and arresting the main suspects in the murder of Robert Fallon, the police ordered the transfer of $ 600 won by the deceased to his next of kin, who turned out to be the same lucky young player who had not seen his father for more than 7 years!

sinister taxi

The police found that in both cases the same passenger was driving the taxi, but completely ruled out any version of a deliberate hit-and-run.
Favorite book

It was the same book that had once belonged to Ann herself!
