Hi All,

It is a New Year for us all, and while our hopes and expectations may be off the charts there is a certain reality for each of us in this.  Often, we get caught up in the either the past or the future, and consequently lose all sense of the present.  We lose the potential enjoyment of the here and now as well as the sense of difficulty of the here and now.  It is of vital importance to be aware of the need to prioritize our lives and environments by way of sequencing the past with the present and the present with the future.

How often do you find yourself (or someone else) say something along the lines of “I hate my job right now!”  Or, someone says “If I could only lose five pounds”  I would be so much happier.”  Of course these are important concerns for the people involved but they may be missing the point.  Their current job may have great medical and dental insurance, or the person seeking to lose some weight may need to acknowledge that although they may be unhappy with their current weight they are in great health, just unhappy with the extra pounds.

The concerns that each one of has, and I do understand that life is not as simplistic as the above analogies, however I feel that it is necessary to at least attempt to position our concerns with the “reality” of our lives.  What is your reality right now?  Are you pondering a change in employment or thinking about leaving an important relationship with someone?  What are the objectives and how do they “sequence” in your reality?  It may take some time to asses the condition of each scenario but from which direction are you referencing?

My point is this.  Although we may be unhappy with a current particular situation or circumstance how often do we employ the present with the past or the future?  It is often said that timing is everything, and although it may not quite be everything it is an indispensable perspective from which to draw from.  Life is not very pleasant when one is unhappy or unhealthy, but how often do we acknowledge our lives as being so when we are happy and or healthy?

With the beginning of a new year, the past and the future may be invaluably influential in how we perceive the in which we view our lives, but there is so much more to be said about what is transitioning in the present.  Kick it around and see where you end up it, you just might find out something worthwhile.

Hi All,

I have discovered a number of truths, and falsehoods regarding Shamanism, a most powerful modality.  Two of the more important factors regarding Shamanism are:  One; most Shamans do not refer to themselves as Shamans when in the company of friends, family, or strangers:  Two; Shamans do not make the distinction of being separate from those that do not practice Shamanism, everyone and everything is related or connected and it is this energy that they work with.

Studying and practicing Shamanism are two very different actions for me at this point in time (ah, yes the concept of time).  It will be some time before Continue reading →

Hello People,

In astrology there are so very many valuable “tools” or techniques with which the astrologer can employ for a chart delineation.  There are transits, and progressions, such as primary directions; secondary directions; tertiary Moon; Solar and Lunar return progressions to name a few.  Trying to select or choose one of these tools however, can be overwhelming and complex, even for the most experienced astrologer.  I try to use the ones that get to the heart of the situation as expeditiously as possible; get in and out as quickly, and simply as possible, with all the information that I originally came for.

Over the years I have spoken with many astrologers, each and every one of them having their own specific and favorite tool(s) they use to extricate the information they felt was the most advantageous for their clients.  There was one particular astrologer I knew that only used transits to summarize what potentially lay in store for her clients, which I felt, and still feel is tremendously limiting, but to each their own.

I have found that Midpoints are enormously rewarding for what it is I wish to achieve.  The use of midpoints Continue reading →

Hi All,

Through my research and application of both Astrology and psychology in my practice I find it quite interesting how the family i.e., siblings, parents, grandparents, and cousins are represented in one’s Natal chart.  For instance, I have blogged and written articles on how to find and disseminate the “Parental Axis” but not such an easy one to address Continue reading →
