Hi All,

The planet Mars recently went “Retrograde” in the sign of Virgo.  For those of you not familiar with the term “Retrograde” (more…)

Hi All,

I first want to say that I am neither leaning left or right here, I am simply shaking the tree to see what falls to the ground.  I am well aware that (more…)

Hi All,

For those of you who have come me for an Astrological consultation you know that I am going to go directly to the source of the problem, crisis, difficulty, obstacle or dilemma.  I do not (more…)

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,

Well, I just finished my first run at a radio pilot series of 13 shows and I am so happy that I did.  I “met” many (more…)

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 (more…)

Hi All,

Merry Christmas day to you all, I hope that you all received what you were wishing for.

So often I will read an Astrology blog or article that suggests fanciful and outrageous commentaries, or, hear an Astrologer tell someone that “you came here on a special mission,” due to (more…)

Hi All,

In mainstream Psychology you will find Depth Psychology among other types of psychoanalytical processes.  Depth Psychology (or Tiefenpsychologie) is from a German term that was first coined by Eugen Bleuler in reference to therapy and research that takes the unconscious into consideration.  It only makes sense to me then that there be a Depth Astrology since so much in the body of Astrological work is the attempt to gain access to the automatic actions of waking man.  It is my contention that psychology sprang from Astrology, the little brother so to speak.

Where then might one begin in the effort to address Depth Astrology?  There possibly could be an attempt to dislodge the alchemical thrust of transformation (more…)

Hi Folks,

The Holiday season is here and for some of you it may have arrived earlier than you wanted it to.  Emotions generally run a little higher (often times very high) than normal with the added company of family members that you haven’t seen sometimes in years.  Almost every family has the uncle or brother in law that gets too carried away at family functions and drinks more than he should.  Or the over emotional aunt that can’t finish the first sentence in her story about her pet hamster that the cat some how got to.

The above descriptions are most likely individuals that have an imbalance of too much Water in their charts.  For instance, uncle Joe and aunt Stella (more…)

Hi Folks,

Well it has come to this has it, Astrology invading the ranks of the NFL?  Yesterday’s menu of turkey, pie and football had some (more…)

Hi All,

If you have been reading my recent blogs you know that I recently read a book titled “Awakening To The Spirit World”, by Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman.  Both Sandra and Hank are shamanic practitioners, and in their book they provide a great amount of insight into the world of shamanism.  You do not have to be a shaman or a student of shamanism to enjoy this book.  In fact you will be delighted at all the great information you will find in this book.

For many of my students and clients I try to bridge the worlds of both waking reality and non reality with grounding exercises that include breathing and visualization techniques.  For the  most part the breathing (more…)

Hi All,

I believe that most of you would agree that we all have an “inner voice” to which some of us listen to and others simply ignore it.  Our culture here in the West (more…)

Hi All,

How many times in life have you passed up something that you wish you hadn’t?  It happens to everyone,  all of the time.  Philosophically there are those who might say that things work out the way they are supposed to, so not to worry.  Then there are those (that’s me!) who feel there is opportunity for a second chance, just keep an open mind, and keep on trying.  I would like for all of you to give some thought to this please.  Just because you did not succeed the first time does not preclude you from trying again, and triumphantly so.

I recently donated my services as an Astrologer and Reiki Practitioner for a fundraising event in my community.   I was happy to do this (more…)
