Hi All,

I find it interesting as well as unusual that two of our Solar System’s “outer” planets (Uranus and Neptune) are entering the first and final signs of the Zodiac respectively,  while (more…)

Morro Bay, Ca., March 18, 2012 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm:  At Coalesce Bookstore and Wedding Chapel, 845 Main Street, Morro Bay CA.

Professional Astrologer Curtis Williams will speak on family dynamics and themes, and how to find your “Family Myth” by way of your Astrological chart.  Curtis Williams  MA, A.P.D., has over 25 years experience as an Astrologer with clients both here in the U.S. and abroad.  Curtis is also a Reiki Master and Radio Show Host.

Curtis will explain how to identify the Astrological markers that suggest and lean towards our familial disposition of believing in what ultimately becomes our emotional and psychological prison.  Often, the belief that father’s alcoholism or mother’s prescription addiction is just the family’s secret is more often than not a well known family dysfunction by friends and family.

A graduate of Glen Perry’s Academy of Astro/Psychology, Curtis uses a blend of Depth Psychology and Astrology to address the symptoms and the outward manifestations of the family’s attempt to “hide” the “Elephant” in the room.  Curtis also studied under, and received his MA from world famous Astrologer Noel Tyl.

For more information please contact Curtis Williams by phone (805-234-7615), or e-mail him at Curtis@astrologyreiki.com.  You can also go to his website at www.astrologyreiki.com, for more about him.  You can also call Coalesce Bookstore and Wedding Chapel by calling them (805-772-2880), or go to their website at http://coalescebookstore.com/.

Hi All,

Whitney Houston

It is unfortunate and perhaps even unfair that a person in their 40′s suddenly dies (Whitney was 48).  Anyone younger, regardless of age falls into the “untimely” death category.  Most people know who Whitney Houston is, or was.  She was a tremendously talented singer, and she was also a sometimes actor.  It is also known that Whitney Houston battled drug and alcohol addictions for a large part of her adult life.  Much of her married life to Bobby Brown was considered unfortunate and unhealthy but we all make our own choices, and mistakes.

Whitney Houston was born August 9, 1963, Newark Heights, New Jersey.  Her birth time was 8:55 pm, EDT.  Whitney’s Sun sign was Leo (ruler is the Sun), Moon sign was Aries (Mars ruled), and her Rising sign was Pisces (Neptune ruled).  The Sun Moon combination suggests a fiery energy (Leo, and Aries) to be recognized, command attention with the grand need to be important, Number One!  Making this combination even larger than life is the Jupiter in Aries conjunct the Moon in Aries in the first house (projection of the self to others).  There is what one might consider   a decidedly self absorbed focus in both her work and love life.

At this point I am unfamiliar with what the cause of death is but Astrologically there are a number of developmental tension aspects (DTAs) in her chart with a majority of them coming to or from the planet Uranus.  Today, in my workshop we were discussing the planet Uranus and its ruler ship over certain conditions, particularly those of one’s health.  Curiously Whitney has the planet Uranus in her house of health (sixth house), and ruling her 12th house, the polar opposite of the house of health.  Even more interesting is the planet Saturn (Retrograde) in Aquarius (co ruler) in the 12th house, and Quindecile (obsession and compulsion) Uranus!  Uranus also is opposite the Ascendant suggesting a very nervous and independent woman.  I wonder how she managed or offset her need to act out emotionally and physically?

Uranus is also in opposition to the Pisces Ascendant (physical body), and Sesquiquadrate the Moon Jupiter conjunction in the first house in Aries.  Topping off  health concerns is a 12th house Saturn in Aquarius in opposition to the Sun in Leo (heart, depression), also in her house of health.  Whitney Houston’s heart, nervous system (Uranus conjunct Mercury in Virgo), depression (Sun opposition Saturn), addictive potentials (Neptune Square the Sun, and Venus in the house of health suggests multiple considerations for both physical and psychological conditions.  This is the chart of a person that “had” to talk constantly, be on the move, and likely felt enormous frustrations and delays in her life.

Whitney Houston

Regarding the timing of Transits in Whitney’s chart shows Transiting Neptune exactly conjunct her Saturn/Pluto Midpoint suggesting an instability with her life situation due to the complications of fear.  Transiting Uranus contacts her Saturn/Neptune Midpoint suggesting frustration and irritability.  Transiting Pluto is conjunct the Uranus/Neptune Midpoint suggesting a very difficult position for action and getting things done in her life.  Transiting Pluto is also Square Natal Mars in the seventh house (relationships) suggesting extreme force, and excessive effort.  All these contacts have a great strain on the heart (Leo).

There are many more predictors and indicators to Whitney Houston’s chart, however the main focus is obviously on the health, much of which was at a pressure point (Saturn/Pluto, and Mars/Pluto Midpoints).  The sensitive Pisces Ascendant that was Whitney Houston had many weights and obstacles from the get go as most of us do.  Relationships with both mother and father were of special discomfort to a person that more than likely acted out physically/emotionally (Uranus opposite Ascendant, Sesquiquadrate the Moon) and disruptively to get the attention she so strongly needed.  This was a woman who did not feel that she was loved as much as she felt she needed to be (Saturn ruler of the 11th house, house of love received).

Whitney Houston was a very complicated person, and the great needs that she had in all probability limited her in her relationships whether personal, marital, or simply relationships that ran too deeply for most of us to understand.  There was a chatter in both the nervous system and the mind that may have needed the potions that helped quiet the continuous noise and chatter that did not have an off switch.  Whitney Houston was a great singer and a wonderful human being.

Hi All,

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,

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…)
