Hi All,
In a recent workshop I held, there was a buzz of new things to come from many of my students in reaction to the Jupiter/Uranus Conjunction in Aries. This is a reasonable expectation at first glance, but it does not hold up well to the Square aspect to Pluto in Capricorn (tension and transfiguration). Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius/9th house) in Conjunction to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius/11th house) implies great expectations, success, optimism and the big break. However, in the sign of individualistic Aries the timing in matters of importance (Aries often only sees itself as important) requires preparation of plans, execution, and timing. Here is where much goes wrong…..or potentially goes wrong.
Jupiter is quite happy in the sign of Aries due to the lack of restraints, particularly when with Uranus; good times should be had by all with these two, at least this is how it might at first appear. On the other hand, Uranus has finally (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,
Many of you may know that I have been studying Shamanism for some time now, and recently finished my apprenticeship with a Shaman Elder. There was, and still is very much left (more…)
Hi All,
In San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, and Los Osos most everyone understands that the economy is, and has been floundering like fish in a drying lake bed for some time. People are trying to do without what many would consider luxuries. I agree for the most part that putting off on the purchase of a new car, a vacation, or even a new set of golf clubs is probably a wise choice to make right now. We are all concerned with where we are going, and where we will end up, however worrying will only add to the daily stress of life.
Living with stress only adds stress to one’s physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. As so often the case is, many of my clients, when they come to see me, are already in an emotional crisis. There is a sense of defeat (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 Folks,
Many of you are aware how quickly time is shifting, and consequently so are our beliefs and dreams. Apple has (more…)
Hi Folks,
Well, it sure has been a long hard slog trying to shake astrologers in this area out of their trees. I have offered several free workshops to date, (more…)
Hi All,
The above battle cries of the Left and the Right wing politicos says it all, only thing is no one is listening. I understand that as human beings we are all different and see life from sometimes small and differing perspectives. Then, there are the incompatible ideals of such monumental and universally challenging debate that it appears an impossibility to reconcile any differences at all. Oh yes, that word “reconciliation”, the word that has been bantered about over the last few months. Still, doesn’t it seem ironic to have such a simple noun contribute to such an inflammatory environment?
We are an inherently dynamic and creative species. As human beings we manifest our realities on a daily basis. I know, I know, there are those of you that will insist (more…)
Hi All,
Time is increasing in speed and distance. The proof? Spring is next Saturday and I tell you it was Christmas no less than a week ago. Proof? My tree is still in the living room and of course my neighbor still has his Christmas lights blazing at night. Well, the first part is not true but my neighbor’s lights are there for the world to see. Time has never behaved with such disregard for my concept of it, nor my perspective of linear space. Science tells me that time is a man made tool but I believe otherwise.
This year Spring comes on March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere (dates vary with the year), and that means this Saturday. I try to celebrate each (more…)
Hi All,
Springtime is just around the corner along with an added hour of daylight. I have always wondered how as people, we think that we are somehow given or find, an extra hour of daylight as if we had it stashed somewhere in drawer. Perhaps this extra hour is similar to the “junk drawer” you know, that drawer that almost everyone has. The one where we keep extra tools, pens, pencils, paper clips or ties for grocery bags along with long forgotten grocery lists.
I have decided that I am going to celebrate the beginning of each season with a welcoming in “party” or ceremony. This coming party will be for the start of Spring also known as (more…)
Hi All,
My last Reiki clinic was well attended but the rain kept potential participants at home where it was warm, dry, and cozy on a cold winter’s night. It is always interesting to meet new people, and interact with those that you know at such a clinic. What I very much enjoy is the amount of Reiki energy that is manifested by the people that are in the room. Whether someone stays for a short time or stays the duration, the energy stays with them for the entire evening and into the next several days.
I feel that it is important for you to know that during these hectic times in our world that Reiki is an energy that will help you to relax and be better grounded. Reiki does not (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…)
Sitting in the kitchen facing the open wheat fields I can hear grandfather clock slowly ticking, passing the minutes and seconds off as the afternoon slips into the evening. It’s been three years now since I walked into, and past the living room that holds the rack that held your hat. There was a time when we would know if the other was home simply by checking for the other’s hat. You might say that the hat rack told the important times of the day (probably our lives) better than grandfather clock. Now it is the silence that holds the time of day, handing out the hours like a priest presenting God’s holy wafers to his flock; stoically and seemingly without conscience or attendance.
I cannot help myself from peeking up and over to where you once placed your hat. A simple, yet carefully contoured palm leaf hat that held the faint white stains of salt from work (more…)
Hi All,
The above quote is from a Willie Nelson song, a lamentation of the distance that time creates between us humans in relationships, memories, and experiences. I can recall even to this day listening to a teacher in high school reminisce about how quickly time was passing. He couldn’t have been more than 32 at the time and he was discussing this with a student, who was in total agreement with him! I have often wondered how a teenager could relate to this experience, and now that I am older, how a man of 32 could feel this way.
My studies in Astrology have helped to clarify my feelings of befuddlement at that time. Of course, we all experience life and its proclivities differently, but how does one’s perception (more…)
