Give up TV?

2012-01-05T18:29:00.003-05:00

More and more people are giving up television. Does this sound nuts?This is creating something interesting - more socializing!One group of friends avoided TV withdrawal by doing occasional pot lucks with a friend who wouldn’t give up TV. They watch NCIS, CSI, So You Think You Can Dance, X Factor, American Idol, movies, comedies, politics, news, and/or documentaries and many other shows. After

I have had many crisis calls from people in the past two weeks, especially those in the financial world. Many events are creating chaos for business people, but we are all being affected by events going on. Understanding is the key to working with these events.One event which has created a profound effect is the death of Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple Computers, iTunes, iPod, and iPad.Steve

What is Running the Economy?

2010-08-15T13:19:00.005-04:00

Highly paid, well-trained economists and stock analysts have many computer models to make financial and economic predictions and analysis. Unfortunately, these comments usually scare everyone and drive down the market and the economy.Astrologers often do a much better job, but so does the average person.I know of a woman who predicts the ups and downs of the economy and has a better forecast rate

Hibernation

2009-10-05T11:46:00.003-04:00

I have not published in quite awhile; this blog is currently in a hibernation stage and it will continue to hibernate. I do intend to finish up the previous posting of aspects (thanks for being patient). But now is not the time.As you may have noticed, many bloggers and free newsletters have stopped.

As many of you know, we have started blazing a trail into a new and higher vibrating reality. This change started around the year 2000 and will become stronger in the years 2012 and 2013.In this new reality since everything is vibrating at a faster rate, life events will be speeded up. Whenever anyone thinks of something, it will manifest a lot faster than it did in our old 3D reality. Many

One of my readers has asked about the negativity that is prevalent now and how it relates to the number 11. She has been seeing the number 11 everywhere and is scheduled to go on a trip on 11/11.

After more research I found that the date of the move from Yangon was frequently listed as November, 2005, not 2006. The capital was moved to Naypyidaw not Pyinmana.Here is a quote from a Myanmar astrologer left in the comment section on my previous article about Myanamar.

As Venus Makes Its Opposition With Neptune

2007-08-26T09:30:00.000-04:00

Thursday, August 23, was a morning of thinking about fantasy and illusion. I sat on my porch swing spending my morning time daydreaming and reading The Power of Nowby Eckhart Tolle. I started to wonder about the meaning of “now” for me. I’ve always found the thought, “you should be in the now” a little off-putting. If I had to constantly sit and be aware of “being in the now”, would I be bored? I

The US almond industry has decided to subject all raw almonds to heat or chemical pasteurization.

While spending less time on my computer in the last two months, I discoverd an intersting phenomena. I am affected physically by computers. If I sit at a computer for more than 2 or 3 minutes, I feel stiff and off balance when I get up. I had attributed it to my chair, getting older, and my Saturn return. Then I realized I don't feel that stiffness when I sit in other chairs. I used the chair

My Saturn return will soon be over, as challenging as it has been, it has also been rewarding. Each day I wonder what Saturn is bringing. Due to the smoke and water damage in my home, I have learned the value of material possessions that are "used". Saturn protects those things that are deemed necessary.

As I mentioned in my previous blog, Saturn is playing havoc with my second Saturn return. When I looked at Saturn and the aspects, I felt that it would be very personal, since my last Saturn Return was up close and personal.In the past few days, I have become very embroiled in the intrigues of Saturn and as I write this post I am without my home. Yesterday there was a fire in the building in

A Mouse Arm

2007-04-26T16:23:00.000-04:00

Well, I've developed what is jokingly called "Mouse Arm". My right arm has restricted movement, and I will be doing less blogging, and I don't do podcasting. I was told that RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) is common with people who use the computer a lot. If I don't use my arm, it probably will look like it belongs on a mouse.Now it's interesting that this has developed at this time in my life

Vacant Signs During the Year

We notice the signs the planets are transiting, but rarely think about the signs that are empty. For instance, Cancer is not occupied by a planet for most of the year. A few years ago Saturn was in Cancer, so we had Cancer all year round. At that time home, family, and patriotism were on our mind, and in the news. Now that Saturn has moved into Leo, the war is no longer a matter of patriotism,

Oh SHEAT!!

2007-03-21T16:06:00.000-04:00

One thing that consistently draws my attention when I read an Aries ingress chart is the fixed star Sheat. An Aries ingress chart is the chart for entrance of the Sun into the sign Aries, the Vernal Equinox, such as the one on March 20, 2007, EDT. The Aries ingress is considered by most astrologers as the start of the astrological year, and thus very important for the next twelve months.Fixed

Does astrology work?

2007-02-17T10:11:00.000-05:00

The debate about astrology has been ongoing for many years. In the past, the debate was between astrology and emporers or religion. In ancient Rome, it was illegal to cast charts, and it was grounds for execution. Emperors feared the power of astrology in the hands of the masses. When the church lost control of astrology, they started to condemn it, although those in power still used it secretly.

How many children do you know who don’t have allergies, crooked teeth, bad

Venus, Mercury, and Saturn

2007-01-27T10:35:00.000-05:00

Every week I post the planets for the upcoming week. In today’s article, I will focus on two of the planetary events this weekend.FROM THE WEEKLY PLANETS1/27/07 VENUS ENTERS PISCES 10:32 PMThis is a dreamy, artistic, position for Venus.

Creativity and Imagination

2007-01-21T14:45:00.000-05:00

With Venus and Saturn in opposition, this is a perfect time to think about creativity. Venus brings pleasure from creations, while Saturn can dampen that pleasure with criticism. One of the ways to blend a problematic aspect is to find ways to make both planets happy. Be willing to work and set goals (Saturn) towards your pleasure in art (Venus).Here is a wonderful article by Feng Shui expert

Aspiring to be an Astrologer Part 2

2007-01-20T17:51:00.000-05:00

This is a continuation of my advice to new astrologers.The beginning of your career may be natal chart interpretation, but eventually you will want to expand. You have to decide what type of astrology you want to do. Do you want to stay with psychological interpretation of natal charts only; do you want to do transits, medical, horary, or political or mundane astrology? You may be fascinated by

Aspiring to be an Astrologer

2007-01-13T14:16:00.000-05:00

I’ve received several email questions lately and I'd like to start answering the questions that have been piling up. I’ll try to get to at least one a week, but I won’t make any promises to stick to that schedule. I’ve learned it’s always done when the time is right.Question from an Aspiring AstrologerHello Susan, I'm an Aries and I could use some help. I have been reading and studying astrology

Mercury Retrograde 2/13/2007 - 3/7/2007

2007-01-12T11:44:00.000-05:00

On February 13, 2007, Mercury will station retrograde. Normally I’m not that affected by Mercury Rx. I’m careful of anything involved with communication and travel, and try not to make major purchases. But, let’s face it, there are times in life when you must make a purchase. You car, computer, printer, or any related Mercury item dies and you have to replace it immediately. Rental is not always

Vibrational Shifts in 2007

2007-01-01T19:41:00.000-05:00

I want to wish everyone joy and harmony in this year of transformation.This is the year that is paving the way for major changes in the future. Just like a birth, we must prepare. Personal mental, emotional, and psychic, checkups, and proper food for the mind and the body are necessary. We must look at how we feel, and function (Moon), think (Mercury), and act (Mars) on a daily basis. We’ve

Astrology and Exercise

2006-12-29T11:22:00.000-05:00

Lynn Hayes has an article on exercise on her blog. Go to Lynn's site to read about house cleaning as one of the healthiest forms of exercise for women. There is a positive connection between nurturing and the breasts.This makes sense. Doing daily chores is one of the easiest forms of exercise around, and for those women who do housework because they like it, there’s probably the added benefit of

Santa Communication Slowdown

2006-12-24T22:13:00.002-05:00

This message just in.Santa's still on track. He started his travels in Australia, and the Far East, (they're a day ahead of the West.) He's been over Africa and Europe, and has recently been sighted over the Americas. He's making his way through South America, and he’ll soon be headed to North America. Communication is slowing down. It may be the latest sunspot, or it may be the Sun and Pluto

Track Santa

2006-12-24T16:11:00.000-05:00

One of Santa's helpers has given me a link to track Santa's path and get the latest sighting. NORAD Tracks Santa 2006 He takes his work seriously as you can see by his expression, (he's a Capricorn); he's a little tired, but he's taking a moment to revive, and give me this message. All is going well, they're on track. They've hit a few storms but nothing stops them.For earlier sightings go to

Peace in the World

2006-12-21T07:12:00.000-05:00

Most of the major cites are getting pretty frazzled this week. I'm hearing stories about people getting stuck in traffic or fighting over parking spaces. It's not unusual to spend 45 mintues on a road when it should be a three mintue ride. Think peace and look for the calm.Here is a message that I got from the Omega institute by way of the Organic Garden Cafe. Pass it around.By now, most of us

Computer Glitches, Sunspot 930, Coronal Holes, and the Galactic Center

2006-12-16T11:19:00.000-05:00

Has your internet connection been slow, or has your connection crashed when visiting sites? Many networks have been experiencing problems in the past few days. No it's not due to Mercury Retrograde, and for most of you, it's not some ghastly aspect in your chart. Several things are going on. One of the biggest has to do with the Sun. Sunspot 930 is going berserk. On December 14th, the Sun had a

MIKA - A Rising Star for 2007

2006-12-15T23:10:00.000-05:00

Maybe it's a Sagittarius thing, but I've been in the mood for music that’s either religious or upbeat. Every once in awhile I’ll wander over to YouTube and listen to Alexis Strum sing, "I’ll See You This Christmas".I love her voice and the video is adorable, but after a bit, it gets a little maudlin. I’ll send some good thoughts her way and hope her loneliness ends soon. Just kidding, it's part

Blog of the Day Tuesday 12/14

2006-12-14T22:18:00.000-05:00

This is a busy month for me, the muse is quiet, and I doubt I'll get to do much blogging. In the next several weeks, I'm going to send you off to some good blogs about astrology and other things. The blog for today is Aquarius Papers by Robert Wilkinson. He posts almost daily. Every week he does a post about the current aspects for the week, he does a post on the sign of the Sun for the month, as

Pluto and the Galactic Center

2006-12-10T11:02:00.000-05:00

On 12/28/06 Pluto will conjunct the Galactic Center. although we don't have a long astrological tradition with the Galactic Center, we can surmise a few issues that this conjunction brings up and guess at the outcomes.Pluto is about power, death, and transformation, while the Galactic Center is the core of our universe. When the great transformer conjuncts this point, there will be a outpouring

The Jupiter, Merucury, Mars Alignment

2006-12-09T12:56:00.000-05:00

I've received quite a bit of correspondence on the alignment of Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury this weekend. Most people asked if the alignment is causing their extremely upbeat, optimistic moods, and I say yes.Sunday will be the day that these three planets will be the closest, and visible in most parts of the world. You'll see these planets as bright lights next to each other, even though they are

Astrology is Fun

2006-12-07T08:30:00.000-05:00

I just finished reading Barbara Palliser's blog at Silverwheel Astrology. She is proving that astrology is fun and useful on an everyday basis by using stories about daily life to explain what's going on in astrology. She wrote about her relative's experience visiting New York during 911. They just went back, and I hope we get another installment. I want to know how they view New York now. You

Taking a Break from Blogs

2006-12-04T14:18:00.000-05:00

As you've noticed my posting has been slow lately. Holiday and class preparations have left little time for blogging, but I've made sure I still do the weekly updates. I have several articles almost completed, and I should be posting about the Saturn retrograde in the next few days.On 12/11, I'm doing a class on the events for 2007, and if all goes well, I'll be offering a CD and tape of the

What's up for the Week of 11/26- 12/2

2006-11-26T08:35:00.000-05:00

This week is a highly intuitive and creative week with five planets in fire signs. It is a challenge to stay grounded since there are no planets in earth. We are still in the throes of Saturn in opposition to Neptune. This aspect was exact 8/31/06. The reason we are still affected by this aspect is due to Saturn, which is about to go retrograde. This aspect will be strong again when Saturn makes

Week of 11/19 - 11/25

2006-11-19T08:31:00.000-05:00

This week continues the shift into fire energy. Venus moved into fiery Sagittarius last week, now the Sun follows on 11/22. This shifts us from the intense emotions of Scorpio into the drive and passion of Sagittarius and Leo. Jupiter moves into Sag on 11/23. Four planets are in Sagittarius, Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto, with Saturn in Leo, totaling five planets in fire. This fiery energy may be

Book Review - "Cosmic Trends"

2006-11-15T10:43:00.001-05:00

I really needed to put my nose in a book and forget the outside world for a bit, or maybe I should say the inside world. The energy has been intense the last few days, or should I say the last week. I needed to get lost in the world of words, and get my radar off the feel of the current celestial events. Usually, I'm able to catch myself when the mood swings come that are created by planetary and

Healing on All Levels

2006-11-13T13:38:00.000-05:00

Today is a good day to think about healing and taking care of yourself. The Moon has just entered Virgo and the Sun will be in Scorpio for a few more days. Virgo works with healing energy, and Scorpio gets to the bottom of things. Spend the next few days working on your health, diet, and exercise. A gentle, safe and effective form of movement is yoga. Spend the next few days doing some yoga

11/11 A Portal Opening

2006-11-10T18:55:00.000-05:00

I want to get this out for those of you who live down under and have already started the 11/11 journey.11/11 A Portal OpeningToday is a portal opening. Anywhere you are on earth, when it is the 11th of the month that day is always a portal day. In November it is even stronger. 11-11 was grounded several years ago on this planet and now we continue to reap the benefits when we reach and read the

Thoughts for Change in the New Dimension

2006-11-10T09:04:00.000-05:00

The Life We Live, The Changes We MakeNovember is a time of change as we see by the falling of leaves in the North, or the shoots coming up in Southern climes. In November, the Sun is in the sign Scorpio, the sign of change and transformation. This year we have had five planets in Scorpio and that means we are seeing major transformation.There has been a big shift in the US in the past few days as

True Astrology Confessions and the Transit of Mercury

2006-11-06T08:51:00.000-05:00

This is a re-do of this article which I posted on 11/6. I corrected the date for the Transit of Mercury. It will occur on 11/8/06. I'll blame the typo on Mercury Rx.A special planetary event will take place on 11/8/06. Retrograde Mercury will cross the face of the Sun. In astrology this is called a conjunction, but because Mercury is so close to the Sun, the retrograde and the conjunction are

Week of November 5 – November 11

2006-11-04T19:44:00.000-05:00

Here's a peek at what's going on this week with the planets. This is based on Standard East Coast time (EST)For more information go to "This Week's Planets" on my website where weekly planets are posted before the end of the weekend.Once again, this is a very slow week with five planets in the fixed, water-sign Scorpio, as well as Saturn in the fixed, fire-sign Leo, and Neptune in the fixed,

A Matter of Motion, Commotion, and Change

2006-10-31T08:55:00.000-05:00

It seems appropriate to talk about change and illusion on one of the biggest nights of illusion in the US - Halloween, a cross quarter day. Although for kids, rather than a night to honor transition to a life in a different dimension, it has become a night to honor candy and apparel manufacturers. Historically Halloween was also a time to scare away the dead and so we have the origination of

Tough Love - Get Rid of Your Clutter!

2006-10-25T20:11:00.000-04:00

In the continuting series on clutter, here's an article from guest writer - Brian Brogan of Great River Feng ShuiDear Friends, Clutter is big problem for a lot of people. My comments might seem harsh to some of you, but I feel that with this type of glaring dysfunction in peoples lives it requires a tough mindedness to get through the ordeal. Here I give you a dose of TOUGH LOVE. My best

Clutter Fug

2006-10-23T11:00:00.000-04:00

Brian Brogan at Great River Feng Shui commented on the money location of the house that I was talking about in my previous article.Scroll down to the previous article or click here to read the "Clutter Experience".Brian said, "It’s a little difficult to explain it in text without a map/image. It’s the furthest left grid in the rear of the home, the front door being the front of the home."If

The Clutter Experience

2006-10-20T13:12:00.000-04:00

I'm always hearing new age people complain about clutter. Clutter in itself is not good or bad, in fact, it tells you that you're a rather good attractor. If your attractions start to feel cluttered, all you have to do is create more space, get organized, use your stuff, or let it go. We're all here on this planet to have fun as we learn, so don’t get down on yourself. You must have had fun

The 818 Gateway - the Cosmic Trigger on October 17

2006-10-16T16:30:00.000-04:00

There is a message going around the internet that October 17 is the day of a strong cosmic ray of ultraviolet radiations, and mediations and prayers will take place all over the globe. Ultraviolet affects the crown chakra, which connects us to our spirituality.There is no scientific measurement that I know of that will prove that this cosmic ray is indeed happening. The only measurement is your

More on Corey Lidle

2006-10-14T11:54:00.000-04:00

Lynn Hayes has posted an article on her web site Astrodynamics about Corey Lidle's chart. She's done a great job of filling in the blanks with a good interpretation of his natal chart and how the recent transits affected him.

Corey Lidle - Another New York Disaster

2006-10-12T17:01:00.000-04:00

On October 11, 2006, Corey Lidle, a pitcher for the New York Yankees baseball team, died after crashing into an exclusive high-rise in Manhattan. He took off in his small plane, a SR20 from the Tetorboro, New Jersey airport at 2:21 PM, and flew around Manhattan for about 20 minutes before crashing into the building. He was flying with his former flight instructor, Tyler Stanger.Calls to 911 went

The Right and Wrong of Relationships - The Amish and Foley

The Harvest Full Moon is in a cardinal sign, which is aspiring, strong willed, and has a desire to accomplish things. The Moon in fast moving Aries will try to achieve these desires quickly.Aries/Libra is the you/me polarity. You'll be thinking of what you want, and noticing what others want. Aries insists that you think of yourself first, not in a selfish way, but in an empowering way. When you

Need a Little Grounding?

2006-10-04T11:17:00.000-04:00

With the Moon going through Pisces, and the lack of the earth element, you may feel a little disconnected in the next few days. With most of the planets in air or water this week, there is a tendency to be in the mind without being in the moment, and this means you aren't grounded in the here and now. With the Pisces Moon, there is a fogginess, which makes it difficult to think clearly, or to

Using Transits Part 2 Something Bad to Something Good

2006-10-01T14:35:00.000-04:00

When we’re in the middle of a transit, it isn’t always easy to see our way out. With a difficult transit, many people don't notice what's going on until they reach the breaking point. It's easy to be sucked in, and not realize what’s going on until after we've had enough. When we’ve had enough, we can turn something bad, into something beneficial. It's never too late.The world provides us with
