Into a New Year once again – and onto new ideas and New Year's resolutions. Whether you choose to give up smoking, or perhaps to cut down on the tipple, go to the gym or even do some charity work; we all start our New Years with the best of intentions.

numberThe New Year, obviously, brings newness and a new faith of something better to come. It was with this very idea that Hello Bali met with Erna Twechuizen, a long-term Bali resident, and an outstanding numerologist and tarot reader whose predications are the talk of accuracy. Erna will base her consultations around her own particular belief of astrological calculations harmoniously blended with numbers from the Tarot – with precise results. Before meeting with you for the first time, Erna will request that you provide her with your exact name as well as your birth date – from so little information she is able to know so very much from your present life, as well as past lives and future predictions.

The consultation with Erna can be at her charming home in Renon (just near Sanur), which she shares with her life-partner Fery who is a talented musician and vocalist, as well as a great support to Erna and her work.
Erna will go over various individual interpretations such as health, character, ambitions and talents, using psychology via the numbers to explain and aide individual issues. It is fascinating stuff! She even touches on past life explanations, and many ring true for likes and dislikes of the present carnations. The individual interpretations are of course, very personal, but Erna has a beautiful gentle way about her, and can easily put people at ease. When you visit Erna for an individual consultation, go with an open mind, and enjoy, as her vision is honest but kind, and she can really see what perhaps we are not always willing to divulge!

As far as auspicious days, weddings and the such, Erna can use her knowledge to guide on the best days for each person, as well as duplicate this into dates for the opening or closing of businesses, and even the best car registration number for you! (She can even guide on the best car colours - so you can back up that choice of polker-dot pink on yellow!!).
My favourite part of the consultation was when Erna suggested the most beneficial gemstones and colours for me to be healthy and strong – luckily diamonds were mentioned in this category – thank you Erna!

If you are living outside of Bali, Erna can give long distant consultations via audiocassette, or can answer direct questions (compatible with a previous reading). Erna is multitalented and speaks several languages including, English, Flemish, French and Indonesian.
