December 21, 2012 - What do I think?

December 21 2012 - what do I think?

Many of you have written in and asked for my interpretation on the upcoming end of the Mayan calendar (Dec 21 2012). Those close to me have heard me joking that 'maybe they got sick of writing it'. Why  on earth would we expect a calendar to be left for us that lasts forever? 

So the logistics would say, the end of the calendar is purely that, the end of a calendar. Human love timetables and definitive timetables. Endings scare us. What will be next? Will it be over? Will what be over? And we're all a dramatic lot who have deep ancient memories stored in our cells from our ancestors who underwent dramatic disasters and life changing experiences. Perhaps memories from our other lives. We remember, and thus we expect to face annihilation in some form. Catastrophobia in other words. History does have a habit of repeating when we don't learn from it.

 Theories are running wild on the topic of 2012. When I was 16, a book dropped off a shelf at my local library. You can hear it free here on YouTube. The second in the series can be heard here. These books (written in the 80s) rocked my 16 year old world as they talked about energies and events that I felt in my gut and witnessed manifesting in the years after my reading it. The material resonated, as far out as it may have seemed to others. The books (channeled material) mentioned a window from the 1980s-2012,  a window of time that psychics claimed couldn't be 'seen' intuitively, a slice of time that no one could project ahead into, as though it had been left for us to figure out ourselves - free-will for everyone on the planet.  I like that idea to this day as it reinforces a belief I hold that we do get to choose certain specifics of our physical reality.  

 In that respect, Dec 21, 2012 will be one of Your making no matter what manifests or does not manifest on a global scale. That may be the most accurate answer of them all.

Other theories surrounding this whole subject:

* Disclosure. An announcement that aliens are real, they are here or on their way or that they already walk amongst us. The arrival of ships.

* Massive weather shifts, a possible pole reversal. Cataclysmic conditions, earthquakes, tornadoes, you name it.

* A spiritual awakening that tips the majority towards a better and brighter future as we wake up to the fact that we are All One.

* A Change in the way we measure time. The calendar thus becomes the 'end of time' as we have been measuring it, but not the end of the world.

* The return of great Gods who once mingled with humans.

* Events that force us all to work together to 'fix' social problems that have built up and so far have been left unresolved

* Worldwide conflict, a possible third world war.

* The collapse of the financial systems on the planet.

* Reality splits - where this current Earth continues on, but other Earths in other dimensions are born, and we'll all be living on the one most in line with where our energy is at on Dec 21, 2012.

There are as many theories as there are people living on the planet. 

I had a lot of ideas since that book piqued my interest 19 years ago. My thoughts have since changed, because from my vantage point as an Astrologer, I see cycles within cycles, a never-ending story. I see no real endings, just cycles of expansion and contraction.

Saying that, the lead up to this point in time does seem to coincide with a feeling of 'contraction'. Things tighten up. Lessons become obvious, inescapable. Time changes, perhaps moving faster. Feelings intensify. issues become larger so that they can be dealt with. Are you feeling it also? Those who remain ungrounded during these times are the ones likely to get swept up into any frenzy and thus become mere pawns playing into the games and manipulations of others who are feeding off people's emotional fear. Those who look for the bigger picture and know that all is unfolding as it should, and who remember their divine heritage and who they really are (or simply put those willing to keep making better choices and refusing to put 'negative' energy back into the pool), will become beacons of light during darker times.

I can say this with certainty - global shifts are here. They have been building for some time. I agree with the "spiritual awakening" theory but I'll also throw in that during a time of a spiritual awakening there is usually an equal measure of people who aren't sure what it means, whether they even want to participate and thus inevitably end up unintentionally joining team of people who want to try and keep things the same, out of fear of change, inadvertently adding to the chaos on the planet. 

A pole shift IS upon us, but I am beginning to feel it may be an energetic one. The good gets better, the bad gets worse all under their own self-guided self-fulfilling prophecies. You're either facing your issues and working through them or you're getting lost in your human dramas.  It's all a matter of perspective. If you insist on appeasing your ego and proving everyone else wrong, cutting off people who disagree with you (when they could actually be helping you grow through your old conditioning) then you're likely to wind up with a happy ego but sad soul. In other words, you win the battle but lose the war. If you treat every experience as a challenge and an opportunity to evolve, then you'll sail through the coming years with much more ease. You'll be the change and part of the change everyone is seeking.

Kabbalah defines the world we see with our senses as the 1%. And that the greater reality we can't see is the 99%: that stuff you spend so much time on that you'll inevitably lose when you die. That's the 1% crap. The 99% is the spiritual dimension where you are more than just a human being. As the 1% proves ineffective, unfulfilling or painful, people will be forced back inside themselves to (hopefully) connect to a source of spiritual power (the 99%). In other words, people are beginning to disconnect from the matrix they currently find themselves in and realize there is more going on behind the scenes than we have been led to believe.

In the months and years ahead, you're either adding to Light on the planet or contributing to the blocking of it, and thus you're working for the Dark. Light and Dark are two sides of the same coin of course, and simply labels. But when you're not shining light on your own secrets or conflicts, you're adding to the darkness, it's as simple as that. The Light helps us grow and evolve as a whole, the darkness delays that process.

Light = conscious awareness.

Dark = unconsciousness.

Are you being controlled from behind the scenes by your lower nature, your reptilian brain? Are you, in fact, taking this whole physical life way too seriously, and therefore reacting in ways that pollute your environment further with even more unconscious actions and thus darkness?

The great news is that the darker moments are perfect opportunities to bring in more Light, more conscious awareness. Stop hiding your darkness or hiding from it. Accept that, just like everyone else on the planet, you have the option and choice to align with either. We all have inner 'demons', and it's our personal job to slay them (by bringing them into the light of our conscious awareness, where they can do no harm). That which is lurking behind the scenes, pulling strings, untalked about and ignored/denied or repressed is controlling us, whether we care to admit it or not. The media will continue to be filled with examples of this very fact. "Disclosure" is upon us, of much that has been kept in the dark for so long. 

Astrologically, Uranus in Aries represents an awakening of the individual. We can't stop this. People who will no longer sit back and take it. Aries means war, so unexpected conflict (Uranus in  Aries) is inevitable. The individual is demanding its equal rights. People are bubbling with unresolved anger, possibly even the anger that they have an intuitive feeling they are being manipulated and used by those with more power and more financial control. The pyramid is beginning to crumble. Those abusing their power at the top may soon find themselves powerless and defeated at the bottom. And those long suffering souls at the bottom may actually come out on top!

Pluto in Capricorn represents the destruction (Pluto) of outdated systems (Capricorn). All governments are going through a cleansing. Secrets are bubbling to the surface. Nightmare scenarios are being exposed as real (such as how widespread child sexual abuse is, and the key public figures who are part of it). Conspiracy theorists are proving to be correct in their claims, made back in the 80s. 

Companies are shutting down due to greed, corruption. People swindling others are being brought to justice. But at the same time, there are those in power who are hiding (Pluto) from the structures they are promoting (Capricorn) that are unhealthy and harmful to our planet as a whole. Through diversion and other more overt methods of control, there are those seeking to do all they can to keep their secrets just that. No wonder we feel such a push-pull right now.

Saturn (our karmic life lessons) is currently in Scorpio. Saturn rules Capricorn. it's the Lesson teacher. In Scorpio, it teaches us through death, losing that which we value. it also rules intimacy - trusting others long enough to get close so that we can do the shadow work of unveiling and transforming our inner darkness (the parts of ourselves where we feel shame, hurt, rage, hatred etc). Scorpio is ruled by Pluto the transformer. When we have the two combined (Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn) we have a "mutual reception" between the two energies. They go hand in hand. Combining the energies of Scorpio and Capricorn we already see the patterns playing out:

Abuse within governing bodies (financial, sexual etc)

Greed/manipulation within existing structures and hierarchies

Massive overhauls and changes necessary to repair what's broken

Death as a vehicle of change to the system

Transforming the rules and regulations

Death/Changing of major political leaders around the world

I talked about Pluto in Capricorn before the fact, so you can compare what was said then, with what has transpired since. This placement also warns of the danger of over-control. As the citizens of planet earth awaken from their slumber and realize to what extent they have been abused and used, lied to and otherwise taken for granted, there will be outbursts and backlashes as people rebel against the rulers of their time. Pluto in Capricorn shows that the powers that be will not give in easily. Controls may be put in place, ways to control people's freedom of speech, movement and individuality. Capricorn is the System and Pluto can represent every effort being made NOT to change!  

 But Change is synonymous with both planets. 

Uranus in Aries will continue to move like a spark of electricity, first via the internet as groups focused on social change (be it the Meditators of Neptune in Pisces or the internet groups or computer hackers of Uranus in Aries), to those who refuse to change just for the sake of it (Saturn in Scorpio). Everyone everywhere is being tested, in public, in private. We are urged to transform the darkness within our personal life, before we entertain any hope or possibility of things shifting in larger scales. one affects the others. one person can truly change the world.

As things intensify, and the world news seems completely bleak, we must not forget one thing. Change is necessary. Look around. Things aren't working on a grand scale. Roads are broken up, people are having to pay for education, healthcare stinks, food is being genetically manipulated (here in California, people actually voted to NOT have genetically modified ingredients listed on their groceries), the list goes on. Things have to change for us to sustain our future on the planet. A happy future at that.

But....things are changing in a positive way, a way no one is really reporting on the owned media news networks. We don't get to see or hear about these changes, thus adding to the darkness on the planet. But the possibility of long term improvement is riding on the wave of the current short term stresses.  There is always a light shining.

How do we feel when we 'wake up' after a night of slumber? Groggy, tired, confused, unsure, vulnerable?

That's how many people are feeling right now across Planet Earth. You can't see them or speak to them but there are people across the globe living with the same conflicts you have, who are trying every day to handle the conflicts raging within themselves. And each decision to move further into the Light, tips the balance of energy on the planet.

People are questioning what they are being told. Smelling a rat when the news and politics of the day are trying to steer them into a place of fear and powerless. People are realizing they can regain their sense of power by looking beyond mere surface appearances. Who gains from tomorrow's conflict or disaster, attack or crisis? What will happen when the balance tips in favor of the Light? What would it take for that to happen?

These are question we may see answered in our time. Where we see light, we must see shadows. And where we see shadows, there is always light. Change sometimes creeps in slowly, for better or worse. Sometimes it arrives with a nuclear blast of devastating proportions. Great change, the type we are all looking forward to, is rooted in truth. "Seek the truth and it shall set you free".  And so I believe that as the truth is told (of course determining the truth can be difficult while Neptune is in Pisces!) the shift many are talking about is facilitated.

Who's to say if some of the 2012 theories are relevant. I expect we'll see the results in 2013-2015 when Uranus and Pluto continue to square off against each other.  As a humanity, we are facing the uncomfortable conflict created when we are forced to face the darkness we have been instrumental in creating, allowing, ignoring or dismissing. We all have a hand in global events, even from just our reaction to the 'news' we see before us each day. What do we do and how do we change when we have become entrenched in negative patterns and behavior. Do we accept the discomfort of change, or insist of digging our heads in the sands? Try as we may, this is just not the page in the history books when that is possible. 

And that idea excites me.

Why don't we simply focus on a better world, however that looks to us. if our desires are stronger for the whole than our personal selfish nature, we may just see some major changes - of our own making.

2012, I believe, sets the stage for the unfolding of greater and deeper change - necessary change and often difficult. But we are simply players in a story that has reached a darker chapter but which, with our help, focus, commitment and intention, can have a happy ending.  

 In other words, as the chapter of the Mayan Calendar ends, the real change begins.

Saturn in Scorpio: 2012-2014 Predictions

Saturn is the Law-Maker. Whichever sign he's in, is subject to rigorous 'reality-checks', tests, trials, limitations, frustrations, challenges and lessons.

Some historical examples: Saturn in Taurus (Mad Cow Disease..Taurus the bull) Saturn in Gemini (news regarding Freedom of Speech), Saturn in Virgo (restricted health care system), Saturn in Libra (more talk about Marriage Equality), Saturn in Sagittarius (restricted airline/international travel).

Saturn is about to move into Scorpio (October 2012) so I thought I'd give you my predictions for what you can expect to see in the news headlines as this alignments begins making itself known on Planet Earth (and within your own life).

In 2012-2014 (beginning in October but we'll no doubt see signs of these energies as soon as July, three months before the alignment), expect these stories to take hold of our headlines:

Changes in the laws governing Death: funerals, cost of burial ground/services, the 'death' industry, where and how we are buried/cremated, further talks on the laws surrounding the 'right to die', abortion, changes to/abolishment of the 'death penalty', more talk about the Dead and Dying (and the care of the elderly).

Shifts in attitudes towards Sex and Sexuality: tighter/altered laws for prostitution and pornography, possible new STDs or outbreaks (or the fear thereof), tighter control over our animal appetites, abstinence, more talk about sex crimes, changes in std testing/costs/availability, more sex scandals

Insurance Issues: stories about insurance companies not doing what they should, costs of insurance shifting, new insurance plans implemented, the fall of corrupt insurance systems

New Debt Laws:  changes in bankruptcy policy, credit card crackdown, debts being recalled/forgiven, new payment plans

Marriage Money: alimony, pre-nups, law changes related to who gets what, shifts in divorce laws

Criminal Clampdown: exposure of underground crime, pedophilic rings (and the connection to those in positions of power), major drug busts, proliferation of crime circuits and groups,

New Laws of Secrecy: the protection of those up to know good or the exposure of those hiding something, privacy issues at the forefront, more invasive measures against the public,

These are just some of the headlines I predict we'll be seeing a lot of in the next couple of years. Look for signs as early as July and watch as Saturn continues his testing of everything related to Scorpio, along with Scorpios themselves.

Stay Tuned!

Downloading Divine Love: Venus Transits the Sun (June 5/6)

Venus Transits the Sun


June 5: 6.09pm Pacific, 9.09pm Eastern,
June 6: 2.09am UK time

Astrology transits are very specific but their effects can often seem very generalized and less easy to pinpoint.

For example, today is a very special day - Venus transits the Sun (something that won't happen again until 2117). It's not Mars that will appear to cross the face of the Sun, it's VENUS, so Venus stuff becomes paramount now. However, how it manifest for the individual, the company, the couple, the country varies enormously.

Since the Sun is the Life Giver of our planetary family, the energy that holds it all together (symbolic of our "Source"), any planet that comes into contact with it, in the skies and within our own Birth Charts, is given added emphasis, power and importance.

Many Astrologers are discussing this once-in-a-lifetime alignment, as a return of the Divine Feminine. That sounds all very dramatic, but it does touch on the vibration of Venus: Love, as opposed to Mars: War.
From this end, I see this as a time when we're urged (and reminded) to Bring More Love Into Our Lives.

What does that mean exactly?

It means continuing to Love others, even those who don't love you, 

never loved you, can't love you 

or even those who appear to hate you.

It means finding things to do that you Love to do, 

even amidst dark times - lost jobs, broken marriages, 

loneliness, poverty, illness. 

It means loving yourself more right here right now today, 

regardless of how you look, how you feel 

and how others are treating you.

It means upping your Self-Worth, 

knowing you're part of the Divine Plan, 

even if your small life seems pointless, 

empty or without meaning.

It means Treating Others as You Would Like to Be Treated -

 even if, in your eyes, it seems they don't deserve it.

It means Being Open to Receiving 

instead of walling off your heart 

out of self-protection and past pain.

It means Building Bridges more, 

even with those you have a 'beef' with, 

or those who aren't in agreement with 'your way' of life, 

and in return those whose lifestyles 

don't fit your paradigm of 

'what should be'.

It means that Love (Venus) should eclipse our Egos (Sun) so that we can once again unite under the umbrella of Unity, instead of being separated by our separate selves. While the Ego is the Sun in Astrology and shines through the fragments of the 12 signs (and thus doesn't see the 'whole picture' - how can you if you're always seeing life through the lens of Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus etc?

 Love is at the core, and found via Venus, located now in Gemini.This transit promises to deliver to those who are ready, the cosmic code of Divine Love - a reminder that we are all one, that we are, always have been and always will be loved and that despite the appearances of separation and LACK of love, that real true love is beneath it all.

If you're seeking Love only in the Human Realm, you open yourself up to dissatisfaction, disappointment, let-downs and failed expectations. Why? Because we're all on a Human Journey this lifetime, and thus things won't always go 'according to (our) plan' in this world (the world that the Kabbalists call the 1%).

In the real world  - the world behind this one (the 99%), we are always Loved, we come from a place of Love and so we ARE Love. Those who seek Divine Love, the love of something Bigger, Higher, More Connected, will feel full even in this world of transition.

The kicker is this: How much do you think you're worth? 

Do you feel deserving of Love even with all your current 'flaws'? Can you let Love in despite being hurt before? Can you turn your attention away from seeking Love in your fellow humans and decide once and for all to be your own Source of Love - giving, with no expectation of a return?

If you can, you'll become of the Earth's Divine Spokespeople - Emissaries of Venus, downloading more of her much-needed energy to a planet in the throes of social upheaval, change and collapse to make way for something better.

That's my take on this Venus-Sun transit. It will only happen once in our lifetime, so let's celebrate the Love we have felt in our lives, celebrate the Love we desire in our lives (which is already calling it forth), and find ways to bring even more Love back in to the darker places in our own lives - in our relationships with friends, family, partners, neighbors, strangers.

June 5-6 kicks off a special Love-Fest on Planet Earth and you're invited.

Dress Code: Come as you Are.

Loving YOU as I Love Myself,

Lighting up the Darkness: Scorpio Full Moon (May 5)

The Scorpio Full Moon is tonight (8.35pm Pacific, 11.35pm Eastern, 4.35am Sat UK time)

You can read more on what this period means in this Past Post on the subject.

I'll be starting a 3-day Apple Cleanse under this Full Moon, since it's one of the most potent all year for releasing, purging, shedding. A cleanse is a great idea. Want to quit smoking? This is your Full Moon to begin. Want to let go of some heavy emotional feelings you've been carrying for a while now? This is the best time for it.

Scorpio is about The Darkness - facing those parts of yourself and your life experience that are "dark" - areas that Lack Light! The Full Moon's light allows you to see a little closer into your heart, soul and psyche for areas that are still dark and still awaiting the Light of your Conscious Awareness.

Feelings are always strong during this Full moon but if you Embrace them, they'll lead you to the place where you can finally drop them, and see them for what they are - opportunities to bring in more Light.

When you go so far into a feeling or an area of Darkness and things you Do Not Want you eventually and inevitably return full circle to What you Do Desire.

I'll be holding a personal Full Moon Ritual tonight by writing down things I DO NOT WANT in my life on pieces of paper. Then I'll write on other pieces, the things i DO want (since they are two sides of the same coin). Then, I'll burn all the pieces and surrender it all. The Universe responds to this sort of vibrational input by aligning you further with what you want.

Remember, although the Full Moon is in Scorpio, the Sun of Conscious Awareness is in Taurus - grounding, comforting, appreciating, building, growing, enjoying. Don't lose track of these energies as your anchor during one of the darker Full Moons we experience every year.

Whenever you "let go" under a Scorpio Full Moon, you immediately create an opening that can be filled with your Desires. When what you don't want is so glaringly obvious these days, can you continue to shine your spotlight of awareness on what you do want?

Enjoy the intensity, use the darkness as reasons to connect once more to your Inner Light, and in turn each time you do this, you aid the Planet by collectively clearing the Darkness of Unconsciousness that has plagued humanity for too long now.

Use the Darkness to bring in more Light, this Scorpio Full Moon!

Emotional Messages: Lunar Eclipse in Gemini (Dec 10)

Saturday hosts the Gemini Lunar Eclipse - which can be seen across the United States. It's an emotional time so watch for Reactions and try and go for healthier Responses instead. How you THINK about what's going on determines how it plays out for you. A lot of messages pouring in that make us feel something strongly.

News of endings, new starts.

The news is sure to be abuzz at this time (Gemini/Sag = media, reporting, journalism, other countries and travel). Messages are stamped with major emotional over - and under - tones now!

We've all been through a Gemini Lunar Eclipse before (Dec 21 2010) so don't worry you'll survive this one. What happened back then? This blog entry is longer than usual, but detailed with what to expect in the next 6 months...

Wherever 18 Gemini falls in our Chart is an area of REVELATION - we'll face important information here. An ultimatum, a major announcement, a sudden insight, a radical message. The news will be emotional in nature and it will either be delivered by you or to you (from your own unconscious, from your own lips, in your email in box or presented on your TV or in a newspaper article).

What are the details of this important message?

Lunar Eclipses illuminate some area of our lives - we may receive news of an Ending, an enforced New Start, Deaths, a parting of the ways, a definite 'No thanks', a Green Light on a Project (woo hoo!), a final notice, a hiring or firing, a marriage or divorce, a relocation. You name it. The chess pieces of our lives are re-arranged under Lunar Eclipses and usually we FEEL it.

Since the Full Moon is joined to the Lunar South Node in Gemini, we have to stop overthinking, tying ourselves in knots. We have to quit the double-speak, double-standards and deceit (saying one thing, doing another). Old "justifications" or "excuses" could be back on the scene so keep them at bay by avoiding gossip and justification and always go for the Bigger Picture, the Better Picture, the Higher Path and the more Honest Way.

Asteroids Astraea (non-closure) and Psyche (psychological scars, childhood trauma) challenge this Eclipse in Virgo: expect there to be a seemingly unstoppable "re-play" of those soft spots and situations that trigger them. It may hurt but it's all to reveal yourself to you - and those places of Hurt that can finally be Healed or Accepted with compassionate sensitivity. Are you defined by awful events that happened to you in the past? Why? Happiness is always your other Choice. Maybe there's a better path.

Look for events to happen in twos instead of threes, courtesy of The Twins...

If in doubt - talk it out. Write a letter. Don't keep it bottled up. And stop lying to yourself and others. Keep it clear, open, honest and if you're feeling it - throw in some wit. We could use it these days.

Something is about to surface. A feeling that needs to find its voice. An emotion that was never felt, or understood but which now can be - through the simple act of Talking About It.

Prepare then, to Emote. To Say How You Feel (or at least understand that you feel it, admitting it even just to yourself for example!). Maybe you won't get a chance to tell someone who has since died, or maybe you'll have a face-off with someone still alive, maybe you'll just hear yourself voicing certain feelings.

Can you let the past go? Can you find a certain peace? Can you accept how you feel? Can you revisit it one last time to truly see it and say it? Can you put words to your pain?

If you can, you'll be one of the lucky ones who use this period in the way it was intended: as a Mental Purging of Toxic Emotions that are polluting your field of experience: personal, familial, social and finally global. What you purge, affects the whole.

You can run, you can hide, but you can't get away from what's going on right now. Your part is essential. Be part of the Process, to be Part of the Solution, or wind up Part of the Problem.

"Death" is simply part of this Lunar Eclipse, as we resolve, shed, complete and move on.
You may be faced with a Communication Blackout, being cut off or cutting off from something or someone, you may find yourself turning into a Communication Monster, attacking/fighting/screaming and purging things you never knew you felt, and never knew you had it in you to say. The news may be filled with stories, images and people full of angst/pain/hurt.

Everyone and everything is purging. And this is good.

Endings are here. Death leads to a Re-Birth. Acknowledgment leads to Understanding of at least acceptance. But first we'll all face a personal and collective "Why?!".

Why, indeed?

Questions will be asked. And that's good. If we ask the right ones and not get lost in the propaganda, twisted and distorted messages of the times. With Uranus at 00 Aries, turning Direct, we just want to be FREE.

Here's your Chance.

As we leave 2011 and realize that Your Power to Respond far outweighs your Tendency to React.

Taurus Full Moon: (Nov 10)

When the Sun is opposing the Moon we have the Full Moon, every month. The Moon falls in a different sign and this time it's TAURUS.

Taurus relates to many things: MONEY, material stuff (the things you own), Nature, The Senses (so music, dance, massage, taste, scents etc), Your Value System (what you think it's worth and your own self-worth) and Physicality (enjoying the physical body and physical realm).

Some examples so far:

Did you see the news that they are auctioning off (Taurus) items from the late Michael Jackson (Scorpio)? What a perfect manifestation of Taurus/Scorpio energy! We also have public demonstrations at the Bank of America (Taurus) as protests continue in Los Angeles.

In your own life, you get to figure out the balance between the Scorpio part of yourself and Chart and the Scorpio part. The Taurus Full Moon challenges you to let go of any physical tension in your body (breathe! relax!), realize that money doesn't rule your life (or try and align with this idea) and that we all can tap into the ABUNDANCE that is constantly around us.

So often we look at what we have (or don't have) in the bank to determine how we feel. But we can shift all of that simply - by getting comfy, by enjoying WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE (since it's wealth!) and remember what we APPRECIATE AND VALUE.

Keep feeding emotional energy to what you desire. The solution, not the problem. Appreciation opens the doors of gratitude which draws even more to us.

GET GROUNDED - tap into Nature. A walk outside. A bath. Grounding root vegetables or home cooked meals. Scorpio Season is an intense time and I'm sure you're feeling it. The Taurus Full Moon can help balance out this intensity. It's simply a time to align more with your body and awareness of your physical surroundings.

Seek out BEAUTY now, (Taurus is ruled by Venus) and alleviate any stress by getting back into your body and valuing yourself.

LOOK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND LOVE YOURSELF COMPLETELY.

Try it. It'll change everything.

Anger, Sex & Yourself: Aries Full Moon

How do you maintain yourself and your own Personal Identity while in a relationship? This can be a friendship, a romantic partnership, a business deal or any other type of human interaction. Where does the WE factor end and the ME factor begin?

That's the question we all have to ask during this Aries Full Moon (Oct 11). Aries relates to Selfhood - who we are outside of anyone else. Our desires. Our wants. Our needs. Me and I.

How do you express anger? That's a huge theme that is sure to pop up now. When your personal needs are not met (or you're overlooked or under appreciated) and your personal desires are thwarted, you get angry. This Full Moon, you're being urged to look at YOU, and see if you're overstepping boundaries. Are you over-pushing your own agenda or are you losing yourself and your own identity due to the influence of and interaction with other people in your life? Can balance be restore oo you need to come out fighting for your personal rights?

My South Node is in Aries so my prior lives were laden with Aries themes. I've had my fair share of conflict (who hasn't) and often the way it was dealt with wasn't the mot efficient or evolved (I'm human too), but it's been a great learning curve.

In your Birth Chart, MARS is where you look to determine what makes you mad, how you get angry and whether you have any karmic patterns that need untying this lifetime.

Born with Mars Retrograde for example (draw your Chart and locate the Symbol above, that's Mars. If it has an R next to it, that means Retrograde), you don't use your Personal Mars the same as others without it. Maybe you stifle your anger and implode (or build up so much pressure you wind up exploding). Maybe in a prior life you were violent and don't want to repeat the same pattern.

How is your Personal Mars?

Mine is in the 3rd House so i EXPRESS my anger (3rd House of Communication). Others complain sometimes I am too punchy, too direct, too aggressive in how I speak (especially when voicing my displeasure or anger). To me, I'm simply being direct and upfront in the way I hope others will be with me. Needless to say, that others don't always see it that way. My Mars, thankfully, is in pretty good shape this lifetime. If not, I'd be a limp lettuce (and a bad writer!).

This Full Moon is ruled by Mars since this is the planet connected to Aries. Impatience is sure to rise in you (be careful of speeding tickets, road rage and general argumentativeness). But so is Taking a Leap into the unknown - doing something new and courageous. Taking a Stand. Yet, Aries also relates to War, such an easy path to follow once you lose track of yourself and what you want. It's a fine line between assertiveness and aggression yet there is room for both. When faced with an attacking Mountain Lion (thankfully I've seen none in my new neighborhood yet there are bears here) your Mars kicks in and you fight back! When someone pisses you off, however your Personal Mars dictates how things may play out.

Channel your energy now into Working Out, Renovating, PHYSICAL stuff to burn off any stress you're carrying. Work on your physical appearance. Chop Wood, Carry Water. Keep busy. Get Stuff Done. Mars rules Sexuality - so anticipate extra hormones this next two weeks as we're juiced up and seeing red with "Testosterone Mars".

Remember, your Personal Desires are important - and they are rightfully yours so respect them. Because the Full Moon is a time when the Sun is opposite the Moon, the Aries Moon is opposed by the Sun in Libra - so we're still trying to figure out where WE are in all of this (Aries), surrounded by the loud needs of the OTHER in your life (Libra).

Start with yourself - root out your needs and desires. Realize not everyone can help you fulfill them but you have a better shot if you express them. Maybe try and fulfill them yourself. Be direct, upfront, clear just avoid nastiness, it's simply not worth it.

Whether you wind up having a two week period of Action Packed Adventure and New Leads or whether you have to face old issues, arguments, bangs/bruises, suppressed anger or actual violence (or just a headache) can be determined by HOW you respond to life's current events, and your Astrological Birth Chart.

I'll help you understand your Inner Mars and what your Chart says about this particular Full Moon period for you if you sign up for my special FULL MOON RITUAL READING - for one week only, from the time of each Full Moon.

Remember, you already ARE you so there is nothing to prove. The question is, can you accept you for who you are and continue working on improving your response-ability to life and taking into account the needs of others? It takes courage but that's what this Full Moon is all about.

To Assertively Fulfilling your Own Desires and Bravely Marching Forward,

Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius

This is the Full Moon in Aquarius. Each Full Moon, two signs are tied together in opposition. The needs of the Aquarius Moon now try to blend with the essence of the Leo Sun.

Working in harmony, we are full of live, we feel inherently special, and yet we also know others have needs. We're both performer and observer, never getting too caught up in the glamour of the spotlight (or ego attention) and never being so distant and detached that we fail to participate. We're using our specialness to help humanity on some level (like the Hollywood Actor who uses their fame to raise money for charity).
We appreciate our friends (Aquarius) and can love (Leo) strangers (Aquarius) with the same purity we love those in our inner circle. We can celebrate the specialness (Leo) of our uniqueness (Aquarius).

When these energies are pulling against each other we have the rebel (Aquarius) overthrowing the ruler (Leo). We let ego (Leo) blind us to the fact we're as special as anyone else in society (Aquarius). Each Full Moon brings something up within us and now it's these two polar opposites. Love Given (Leo) and Love Received (Aquarius). Stand on one side too long and immediately the opposing side is activated.

At Full Moon time it's best to blend both energies together, to avoid conflict. Working as a Team, Leo/Aquarius is about love and friendship combined, creativity and detachment and being special and being 'one of the crowd'. You just can't be either/or.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Sagittarius

Under the power of twi fire signs, things always heat up. The Sagittarius Moon needs room to breathe, to grow and learn. To expand its horizons, knowledge base and possibilities. To open up to More - with an optimistic spirit and an open mind and heart.

In Leo Season, the Sagittarius Moon wants to find new creative ways to have fun. Everything is larger than life, and that includes our appetites. Size begins to matter so we may go over the top (on purchases, emotional reactions, any appetite can be supersized). Sagittarius is not about finding limits, its often about excess (absorb enough and you'll find Truth sooner or later). Leo is about living large. Put the teo together and you have a highly dramatic coupling where we can discover more, let our hair down, live with passion and purpose (as long as we avoid intellectual arrogance or judgmental attitudes).

The best of Leo/Sagittarius is to realize our inner child is alive and well in the present. And we can shine light wherever darkness falls, and bring Joy, Optimism and the Enjoyment of the Journey As Destination.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Scorpio

Leo Season is all about brightness, opening our hearts, playing and expressing ourselves in our own unique way. Finding a new Joy in life. Creating.

Under the Scorpio Moon we yearn for more depth, so our passions are aroused, things become more intense (already dramatic under the fiery Leo Sun). Secrets are forged or dug up (The Scorpio Moon is the 4th House under Leo, relating to our private selves, emotional foundations and our family conditioning).

Things can get ugly with two signs as intense (and stubborn) as these. When threatened, under the Scorpio Moon we may retaliate or strike before we're stung. Or we can use this time to heal and transcend old wounds and old triggers.
Creatively (and in all areas) it's time to add more depth to your creativity, more passion to your love (or find it), more intensity to your focus and strip away all that masks your true spiritual self (so expect some ego showdowns and moments when you realize you're acting from your lower nature).

The best of the Leo/Scorpio Combo is a depth of love that doesn't hide, nor does it allow itself to be pulled down into its own self-indulgent shadow. We live loud and proud, with nothing else but our hearts, leading the way.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Libra

Under the Libra Moon we all want beauty, and we yearn for the things that bring a sense of calm: music, candlelight, art, relaxation, good company, beautiful things, quiet scenery etc. In Leo Season this is truly welcome - Leo wants quality and so does Libra. Combined, this energy is about truly opening your heart and sharing yourself with others. Getting along with those in our lives becomes essential because ruffled feathers means rocked boats and Libra Moons want nothing but calm comfort.

Social events go well under this combination as does schmoozing, socializing at special functions/mixers or just having a great time with whomever you're with.

Since Leo is love and Libra is romance, put the two together and you have the makings of beautiful dates, romantic escapes (picnics, walks alone together, evenings by the fire or under the Sunset). We have to be careful we don't ignore or sweep more important things under the carpet for the sake of "peace" but for now, we can live well by enjoying sharing, mutual love and respect (and admiration - think Mutual Fan Club) and celebrating how good life really is.

Happiness is a Choice, and we choose to share our good vibes with others and they with us, under the combo of Leo/Libra.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Cancer

Our egos are always on the line during Leo Season - that's why what we create is something that brings up insecurity in us. Leo energy is about living from the heart - 100% investing in something (be it a relationship, hobby, career direction). Under the Leo Sun, everything is bigger, there can be more Joy but also more Drama or Darkness (when we're blocking our natural Light).

Under the Cancer Moon, emotions are bigger also. We need to feel safe and secure and yet our egos are still being spotlighted. The worst of this combo is childish tantrums, replaying childhood dramas or traumas and being needy - expecting others to shower us with the love we haven't yet given ourselves.

The best of this combo is an immense heart and capacity to care and nurture. We truly care. We can pour ourselves into our home (decorating, making it our Palace), those close to us (blood-family, or our chosen circle) and even in fulfilling our own needs so that we can better be there for others.

We need to feel under the Cancer Moon, and in Leo Season this can bring up sensitive issues that may be secret hurts but also a chance to nurture ourselves in an adult way.

Leo is ruled by the Sun and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. So when these two come together, they are in their rightful place. Ego and Unconscious. Male and Female. We get to balance out both sides of our nature, by seeing where it's out of harmony.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Gemini

Under the Leo Sun, everything is seen through the filter of love and creativity. We're either bright and beaming or a black hole - everything is more dramatic. Under the Gemini Moon we need to find new thoughts that enhance our love and creativity. We can use beautiful words, express how we feel, and choose thoughts that empower us, strengthening our ability to shine and thereby enhancing how bright our light is.

We need to be able to explore new ways to create - like writers seeking the right words, we now get to try out new possibilities, trying on new ideas and feeling (Moon) our way to new thought (Gemini) that will lift our hearts (Leo).

The best of this combo, is finding and expressing our power through the words we use inside (self-speak) and outside (communication with the world around us). We can add to life's Joy through our words and thoughts, or we can add to potential drama. The choice is ours.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Taurus

The Sun in Leo brings a month of Finding our Joy in various ways. Leo relates to creativity, that life force that moves through us that creates the desire for children (creating extensions of ourselves) or the desire to further ourselves in some way with something that is OF us - a creative project for example. Or romantically expressing our feelings.

Putting our egos on the line is essential - we may fail, but we'll have fun just Trying. This month, risk your happiness by trying to be more, create more.

Under the Taurus Moon, we always need comfort, we crave the riches of the world (from a hug, to great sex or dessert, from money in the bank to the feel of nice fabric on our bodies). Leo is quality of course - 5-star all the way (it's the sign of Royalty and Celebrity) so add Taurus energy and you have the makings of gourmet treats, luxurious pampering, egotistical unyielding attitudes or dramas (if we're going too far) and enjoying all that life has to offer (from spectacular sunsets to quiet nights by the fire).

Seek beauty and you'll find the riches you desire.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Pisces

We need a release, after all the emotions of the month (during Cancer Season) come to a head and we're too 'full'. Something has to give.

We're urged to find emotional compassion for other's pain (let's face it, who ISN'T going through a trying time right now?) as well as our own human-suffering. be sensitive now, be a caring healer, transmuting negativity where you can, by ending it in your own life.

We're also urged to explore emotional release (crying for example). Often times under this combo, we have to simply accept or let go of major emotional 'stuff'.

Cancer Season is about our domestic situation, our past and our feelings. Under the Pisces Moon, we may try and run from how we feel (or any emotional situation that feels 'too much'). We're not meant to deny, avoid or repress our feelings now. We're ultimately seeking for redemption, completion, closure.

A bath, time to meditate, a nap, some creative daydreaming, more sleep and some nurturing soothing energy is what we really crave now. Go gentle. Let yourself feel - and follow each feeling to its ultimate destination, when it dissolves back into the Whole. Thank it for its lesson, its gift and let it go.

Emotions remember aren't meant to be held onto. They are e-motions....energy in motion. So don't hold on. Feel them, let them go and you'll find they let YOU go in return...

SPECIAL: Past Life Reading ($50)

Astrology cannot tell us who we were exactly in other lives but it gives a lot of detailed clues about our Soul's Journey, the patterns of previous lifetimes, and the habits we've picked up along the way that may no longer be of use in your current lifetime.

Astrology also details gifts you brought in with you, whether through ancestral and genetic patterning, or through your own efforts previously. Nothing is forgotten.
The Soul Remembers.

This Special Reading is a fun, informative and unique insight into the Path of your own Soul - where it's been, where it wants to go and what you're here working on now.

It's a personal recording by me, specific to you, recorded on a special CD and mailed out to you to listen over the course of your life as a reminder on what you're here to work on.

For this Limited Time Special, you can order this Personal CD Reading for only $50!

Keep on Truckin! Full Moon in Capricorn

Capricorn is the energy of discipline, commitment, hard work and the quest to achieve or overcome. We achieve mastery when we give it enough practice. We need elbow grease, effort. We can't quit.

The Capricorn Full Moon is a time of resetting your boundaries, re-designing your goals and re-committing to gaining mastery over something. Ruled by Saturn, planet of "karma" (the tests and challenges we must face living a physical life, along with the rules and restrictions we must all play within) we may find that during this time, our personal "Karma" comes to the fore - what we MUST work with in this lifetime.

Any fear is up for review - can you face it and let it go? Full Moons are cleansing, clearing times, remember?

Can you let go of a goal you no longer desire? Maybe it's not your goal but a parents? Is it your goal and are you truly committed?

Are you disciplining yourself to overcome? Or are you programming yourself with "failure"?

Review all of this and come out with a new found sense of dedication to Getting Through Your Life. Why let anything or anyone get you down?

You owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. Only then will you be able to relax and say 'Well, at least I tried'.

Keep trying, and remember - some blocks are not meant to be overcome, they are challenges to see how we'll proceed when faced with a brick wall, a dead end, a red light or a rejection. Some things weren't meant to be transcended but worked with (or around).

As the limits of the physical body are helpful to us as souls, some limits and restrictions serve us well.

Keep on truckin!
Love,
Neil

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Aquarius

Our emotions now turn to creating space and distance in order to breathe and gain perspective, under the airy Aquarius Moon. Cancer Season is anything but detached - we're attached to the outcome, to how we feel, to our past, protecting our past and safeguarding our security.

Something has to give under this combo - we need to stand apart from even our own history - we need to be different (non-reactionary for example) than those who have gone before us.

Since Cancer Season shines the spotlight on our home situation, family matters, stuff from our past and our feelings, the Aquarius Moon helps us break free from old patterns, detach from drama, and look at things in a whole new light. We may even be able to find a radically new approach to old matters. But first we must pull back from repeating patterns, instead breathing new life into our lives. Then, our pasts become storehouses of valuable material and information, and no longer traps containing old ways of being, reacting and feeling.

Freedom comes when we find a new way to feel, and a new way to respond.

Stalemate or Stale Mate? Venus Opposes Pluto

July 7/8 play host to the planetary alignment Venus opposing Pluto. You can read up on what it means in the article below (it's a biggie!).

Stalemate or Stale Mate?

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Libra

When the Moon shifts in Libra, we need to restore some sense of calm, after the nitpicking clear-up order-inducing Virgo Moon. Under the Cancer Sun, the Libra Moon seeks domestic calm - a spot of interior decorating perhaps. Candle, music, ambiance. Whatever that means to you.

Emotionally, we want to build bridges between the self and others. Cancer Season is always a sensitive time, because we're all dealing with some of the core issues and needs in our lives - namely, things from our past (yesterday, last year, childhood). So when the Moon moves into Libra, we want to smooth ruffled feathers, restore a sense of calm, find a common ground and - perhaps most importantly - creating a beautiful space in which to unfold these feelings.

Since Libra is the 4th sign from Cancer (ruling the domestic and family scene as well as our past and emotional foundations), the Moon here bodes well for creating a port in a storm. When in doubt, restore balance through beauty, calm through cooperation, comfort through compromise and love through reciprocity.

We all have needs, under this combo we have to give and take to make sure everyones are met.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Virgo

Since Virgo Moons give us a craving for some sort of order, we often find ourselves cleaning (Virgo) our homes (Cancer) at this time. Virgo can be critical and nitpicking, and with Cancer connected to emotions, it could be a trying time if we're not kind (as we begin finding fault with how we feel or how another feels). Still, this may be good if there are past issues (or buried emotions) that need digging and cleaning up also.

Seeking simple (Virgo) comforts (Cancer) may be the best way to go. Or helping another (Virgo) who needs nurturing (Cancer) or helping another to find comfort.

Virgo needs a routine, a structure, to improve upon something so life isn't acceptable 'as-is'. Cancer is a traditional sign that deals with the basic feeling function within us humans, without judgment or discernment. But we can have the best of both worlds if we analyze (Virgo) how we feel (Cancer) or look for a way to heal or mend hurt hearts and to ultimately find a way to feel (Cancer) better (Virgo).

The best use of this combination is to bring everything back to basics and enjoy the simplicity of life.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Leo

Things always get more dramatic under Leo Moons. Which bodes well for parties, celebrations and creative pursuits (and less well but still equally as potent for causing scenes!

Emotions (Cancer) now become bigger (Leo). We take things more personally, which again is great when we're investing our feelings into creative self-expression and having fun, but more problematic when we begin letting our ego (Leo) get in the way.

The best we can achieve now is a certain pride in caring (opening our hearts wide), enjoying ourselves while being sure to nurture others.

Emotions are contagious, this we realize under this combo. When you're happy, it spreads like wildfire (Leo is a fire sign, after all). When we're down, we suck the life out of the room.

So be aware of the size of your feeling and its appropriate expression. Live big, celebrate your human existence. Boost another up (with a compliment even), and in return you'll feel amazing.

It's in how we make others feel, that is the true gift of this combo.

Cancer Solar Eclipse (Jul 1)

The Solar Eclipse at 10 Cancer today heralds a potential new beginning. When the Sun’s light temporarily goes out, it invokes a symbolic time when we can ring the changes in our lives and ‘start over’. In Cancer, we all have a chance to establish new habits.

Wherever the Eclipse falls in your own Birth Chart, you have an opportunity to see if you can let go of old emotional ‘pulls’ and establish a new foundation, a new secure place on which to build.

For example: in your 2nd house, new self esteem practices will provide a solid foundation for new earning potential. In your 9th house, new comfort zones help create a new sense of faith in life. In your 8th House, you get to embrace the intensity of your feelings and do away with any unhealthy attachments you still have sticking to you.

Get it?

For all of us, the Cancer Eclipse will rock our emotional world – our intimate connection to others. Expect shifts within your family for better or worse. Try and get comfy where you are and “make home” in all areas of your life. The more secure and comfortable you are, the more this period opens up and you can create some new, healthier, emotional habits for yourself.

With the Eclipse slap bang between Uranus in Aries (personal freedom issues) and Saturn in Libra (relationship legalities and commitment/rules of engagement issues), the Eclipse in Cancer brings us back to what we really need and where our hearts REALLY are.

Follow them to a new, healthier place. Don’t follow old feelings if they don’t feel good. It’s that simple. You can always reframe your present based on how you’re feeling right now. Opposing Pluto in Capricorn, the Eclipse says offload your baggage as you only have yourself to blame, if you’re suffering from something that happened to you in the past.

Use the next week period to begin something that “feeds” you. Anything else you’re hungering for that doesn’t ultimately satisfy you, try and release your attachment. You’ll leave energy for other things – things you truly need now.

If you feel a little emotionally shaky, unsure, confused, lost or unhappy - or you just want a check in to see how best to navigate the road ahead – you can always check in with me for a Personal Reading (or order a Report specific to you).

Enjoy your human feelings, but don’t take any of it too seriously – and don’t, I repeat, don’t, cling to your feelings (or any life situation) as though it WAS you. You’re bigger than this, and it’s all an illusion.

Choose the best feelings and proceed!

Love,
Neil

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Gemini

We need to express (Gemini) our feelings. We now have a chance to talk about what is in our hearts. We even have a chance to explore (Gemini) new comfort zones (Cancer).
Journaling is a great idea now, or at least making a list of positive aspects of our lives (to expand these areas by focusing on them). Writer have a great time now, since they can explore their hearts and heads in combination. Actually, all of us can, not favoring one over the other.

If we don't focus on what feels good (including thoughts), we end up running our heads in circles (negative Gemini) and becoming emotionally knocked into the darkness (negative Cancer).

Under Cancer, the focus is still on our feelings, habits, past and family/home situation. Our needs are paramount now. Under the Gemini Moon, we get to talk about it, find out new information to help us fulfill our needs..and to laugh off how dramatic we can be when we claim ownership over any particular emotion..since in time, they all shall pass.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Taurus

Our emotions and needs must be grounded in the physical, under this combo. We're still focused on Cancer things for the entire month (our home, family, domestic situation, real estate, our feelings and also our habits).

Under the Taurus Moon (for the next 2.5 days), we get to look more closely at our financial needs (budgeting, extra expenditure). We feel a heightened need for comfort - a cozy cuddle-up in front of the fire or a movie, a long lazy bubble bath, burning scents, gourmet food (home cooking is ideal now).

Taurus is about physical comfort, appreciation. Finding natural, simple ways of grounding your emotions is the way to go. We need to feel good now and we'll do whatever we can to claim that feel-good factor.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Pisces

We're all looking to our home and families for comfort, conflict-resolution, blame, security - you name it. Whatever is going on, is close to home. We feel connected to it. It's highly personal. And we may feel a little lost, drifting, daydreaming or just plain avoiding something or confused by it. All is not as it seems.

Cancer/Pisces connections are all related to the safety of the emotions. Being able to feel and not be punished or judged for it. Comfort eating may be common now. So would feeling the need to sink into a bath (or into someone's arms).

We want safety (Cancer) and need magic and escapism (Pisces). We feel (Cancer) and need compassion (Pisces) for self and others.

Go easy, then until the turning of the tide.

Update from your Astrologer!

Hey Gang,

Did you miss me? Well I missed you. I just relocated to my new home in Twin Peaks, CA, which took longer than expected. Yes there actually IS a town of that name, and with the number of odd situations that befell my partner and I during this move, it seems fitting.

Yes, strange things do happen to Astrologers. Even we are not immune to the chance events of "fate" or the pre-selected life lessons that inevitably find us, no matter where we are. Astrology can help us uncover the cycles, and work with them. But I have truly come to believe that some events are meant to be worked through, and don't mean anything negative at all.

As my Progressed Sun moved into Aries, the shift was a natural next step. New beginnings abound for me. Right on Track.

The trip was worth it - I am now in the beautiful woods up by Lake Arrowhead (the place that bottles all that spring water of the same name). Who would have though that in the middle of the vast desert of southern california, there would be such an oasis. I am going to be very happy here, and for a 4th house Sun to say that, is really something.

What's ahead for us all? Well stay tuned. I have more video horoscopes, more articles on what's happening. New Readings and Reports, Personal anecdotes and of course, every Monday I'll update the Weekly Scopes, which seem to be turning into more Weekly Thoughts with a dose of Astrology - my thoughts and insights coupled with a finger on the pulse of what's going on Astrologically.

TV SHOW

many of you are still curious about the TV Show I have mentioned previously. Depending on how long you've been with me, you may already know I have been called on numerous times to partake in Astrology Shows for TV. I've met executives, been called in for auditions and run-throughs and interviews on the subject. There's a truly a market, so hopefully soon, someone is going to jump on this and run with it. We're moving out of the Dark Ages where people fear the field and are now beginning to realize its validity and truly helpful guidance on life's rocky roads.

I am still in talks with Los Angeles and will keep you posted.

READING SCHEDULE

I am back to my Reading Schedule so if you are having issues, or just want a personal session to uncover your own life path and possibilities, along with your personal cycles, then you can sign up at the website and order there (along with the extensive list of Reports on offer that you can order and have in your hands within 24-48 hours).

That's it for now, I am glad to be back and look forward to sharing the crazy road ahead with you, through this summer and into 2012. So much ahead!

Whatever you're going through right now, embrace it as all right on track. No matter how stressful or weird, or upsetting or confusing. Life has a bigger meaning and if you stick with me,I'll show you a bigger picture and a potential future for you, where you're smiling from ear to ear.

Love,
Your Astrologer,
