Hi All,

Well, the weekend brought some terrific ideas at my latest Astrology workshop!  I have not had a workshop for a while, and this last one proved to be the best one so far.  No, there was not an overflow of attendees, I have had more participants in the past.  What was exceptional was that there were Astrologers in attendance that had been dreaming my same dream, or I had been dreaming theirs.  I recently wrote a blog on April 11 of this year titled “San Luis Obispo, Let’s Talk Astrology.”  In this blog I challenged local Astrologers to shake the cobwebs of our communities and try to bring an Astrology conference to town.

I do not even recall who first broached the subject because I was having the workshop on “The Practice For Ethical Astrology.”  However, it really does not matter anyway, because the ideas flowed simply and naturally.  It was one of those moments (more…)

Hi All,

In the Astrological conversations I routinely hear there is usually someone (usually an Astrologer, or someone that is interested) recounting a difficult event and blaming a planet for it.  Perhaps it was the changing or losing of a job, or maybe the breakdown of a marriage, a divorce.  During this recounting of trial and trouble I will invariably hear that it was the planet Saturn that threw them into a depression.  Or, that it was the planet Pluto (yes, Pluto is still a planet) that destroyed their marriage and left them penniless.  Most people do not literally mean that it was the fault of a planet (or do they?), but are simply using it as a metaphor. However if someone unfamiliar with Astrology overhears this conversation, the terms and the anecdotes stick within that brilliant computer of cognition…the brain.

Then, before you know it this narrative will find its way into the conversation of the one who overheard the exchange with another person.  Well, it is not too difficult to see what comes next.  This brief but incorrect explanation (more…)

Hi All,

These last several years have been quite interesting for me as transiting Saturn has been traversing my natal 11th house, also known as one’s house of friends.  As most of you know I have a hand full of decades in life experience, and I feel fortunate to have survived the period of self doubt and self worth that we all must experience in order to grow.  This critical time of self doubt generally concludes after the high school or college years.  Although there are those that will experience these difficult emotions in these early stages, there are those that will continue to experience self doubt and the lack of clarity regarding all levels of relationships.

My experience regarding “friendship” over the last two or three years has been one of consolidation and determining the pertinence for said friendship(s).  First a little about myself Astrologically.  I have Scorpio Rising (more…)

Hi All,

My path has been transforming (Scorpio Rising) of late, and I feel that it is a great adaptation from the direction I was previously moving.  I still enjoy the direction of say 10 months ago, it is just that I have incorporated other standards of which I am only now beginning to understand.  I still very much enjoy my Reiki practice and working as an Astrologer, but from those modalities come others.  It is curious how our lives never seem to go in the direction we feel they must, but after some time and serious consideration we see what a benefit it was.

I have been studying and working with some very powerful and revealing energies.  Certainly one might think that I should have been aware of these energies given what I already do professionally.  However these energies are not as “simple” to understand (more…)

Hi All,

For many people Astrology is simply a parlor game or side show to a carnival.  For others like myself Astrology is an invaluable tool for tapping into innumerable sources of information.  Information such as one’s emotional makeup, psychological manifestations, or the parental dynamics in which you were born into as well as familial traits going back generations.  The Progressed Astrological chart, or Solar Arc chart (one day equals a year calculation) can alert the Astrologer to potentially serious medical conditions such as a heart attack, cancer, depression and many, many more consequential life events.

Transits (the daily planetary motions) are equally telling when it comes to one’s experience and the events associated with life on this planet.  However transits are short lived when compared to Primary and Secondary Progressions.  There are charts (more…)

Hi All,

As an Astrologer many of my clients come to me when their lives have become too uncomfortable, too difficult.  It happens to us all, sooner or later, but there are remedies for these disruptions in life.  I am amazed at how many people refuse to acknowledge or own their creative gifts.  Give this a little thought would you?  I mean, we have allowed ourselves to become over booked in almost every department in our lives.  Do you remember when you were a child, and the first thing you thought to do upon waking was to get dressed, and tear outside for some fun?  Remember that feeling of exuberance and happiness you felt way back then?

Yes, yes, I know, life has become so much more complicated since those halcyon days of our young lives.  We are now adults, in an adult world……right?  I need to ask you one question though; who made, or makes (more…)

Hi All,

Like most, we eventually look back to reflect on our lives, and those that we care about.  For some, there are seemingly extended spans of time that carry our grief and sorrow over a longer distance than those of elation, and happiness.  For others, there are times of happiness that are simply too short, too brief.  As the years have gone by I have learned to separate the shorter from the longer.  I have found that there is no justifiable difference between the two.  It would appear that through a pragmatic and practical perspective, one seems to have more clarity than the other ; however this just is not so.

The planet Saturn is called the great teacher, and he apparently holds dominion over the lessons of reality, sorrow, and fear.  Each one needs (more…)

Hi All,

This last month has been a hectic and sobering one for me, and I hope that June is less fast paced.  In my practice as an Astrologer I see many people and charts, all lending to my experience and perspective.  I recently had an experience through the lens of not only one of my clients, but myself as well.  My client’s name is changed, with little personal information divulged here other than the described event; something all budding astrologers should remain true to.   This person lives out of state, and resides on the east coast.

My client, whom I will call “Virginia,” has been with me for years now, and although we have met on several occasions we rarely see one another in person.  However, over the years we have established a very intimate and personal relationship.  Virginia is in her late forties (more…)

Hi All,

I wanted to give the volcano eruption in Iceland (Eyjafjallojokull) a little bit of time so that I could do some research on it before attempting to delineate the event.  As it turns out there is not very much information on the volcano itself other than four yearly dates.  The information that I could glean was that there have been eruptions in 920; 1612; December 19, 1821; and March 20, 2010 @ 11:34 pm UT.  As you can see there are only two dates that include the month and the year, and only one date that gave a time.  The time for the 2010 eruption is open for debate but it is within a reasonable time period to cast a chart.

Through my research on this volcano I read many articles that attempted to pin several asteroids to the 2010 eruption; Ceres, Pelion, and Vesta.  The article that wove Ceres into the volcanic eruption (more…)

Hi All,

I have been doing quite a bit of research lately on Occult Theocracy (hidden religious study) and the relationship between man, the stars, and their symbols.  The books I am reading are many years of research and by many individuals over the course of hundreds of years.  Still, everything regarding monotheism (belief in one God) and polytheism (belief in more than one God) end up at the same location.  I am not going to tell you what the conclusions are simply because I don’t want to tread on anyone’s religious or spiritual beliefs.

What I have concluded is that not in the too distant past a person such as myself would be condemned to death for practicing astrology; astrologers were then known as “time watchers.”  There are a multitude (more…)

Hi All,

Next year is only a day and a half away.  I am hopeful for this coming new year, not only for myself but for the consciousness of our society and our world as a whole.  I have many things to look back on and to be thankful for, but there are several that deeply bother me.  I am struggling to determine if it’s me, others, or a combination of the two that is responsible for my concerns.  I have promised myself to get to the bottom of them, and I will, in due time.

This last year brought a close to my membership with some volunteer organizations that I very much cared for.  Being a volunteer (more…)

This is a blog rerun from an original post of August 26, 2009.

Hi All,

I have been discussing some of the work I do as an Astrologer and Reiki Practitioner in my blogging, and I have been given some positive feedback which is always nice to hear, but please understand that this is not the motivating factor to why I do this work.

Some of you out in the blogosphere know my history, but most of you don’t, and I’m not going to get into too much detail here.  However, for me, and I believe for many of us that work in the fields and modalities of helping those that are in need, it is simply a repaying to those that have helped us in the past, and understanding for those that need it in the present.

I very much remember the time (5:43 pm), the place (San Francisco, CA), and the person (Judy Duffy, RN) of which this event is comprised.  In my experience, most medical professionals are extremely hesitant in using pain relief to which you may become addicted, and I understand this rationale when pain free; however this isn’t the case when I am in pain.

Judy (Sister Mercy) was almost about to finish her shift and I was going to have major surgery the next day, but very much in pain.  The other nurses refused to give me an injection for my pain as there is a 4 to 6 hour time frame before being given more medication, and my last ministration had been 3 1/2 hours prior to my last; most health professionals tend to err on the side of caution and will wait for the latter end of this time frame. This (and I will forever be grateful) is when Judy saw the extent of my difficulties and asked me how I was feeling, and I told her.  She looked at my chart, went to the nurses station and brought me relief for my pain.

Later on Judy told me that her daughter had kidney disease which was an extremely painful condition for her; she could see  that I was in pain and needed help, and she gave it to me.  It has been several decades since this time, but I remember everything about her simply because she understood my position from her own experience and compassion; but I have to think twice for the names of my surgeons, and the many other care providers; not because they didn’t help me, they tried,  but they never seemed to tune into my position and quite clearly doubted the extent of my difficulties.  It has been my turn to help others for a while now, but I will never forget  “Sister Mercy.”

Aho

Hello Folks,

As an astrologer I have acquired the distinctly inquisitive habit of using my experience in astrology (over 20 years), and placing the physical features of people’s faces and bodies together with what I believe to be their Sun, Moon, or Rising signs; along with the sign’s planet(s), and the characteristics represented by the combinations.

Now, I’ll try and keep this simple, and I hope that you get the idea of today’s blog.  As far back as the Chaldeon tribes (more…)
