The messages of the madmen begin to emerge in November. Mercury turns Station Direct on Nov 2 at 23′ Libra which brings up old ’stuff’ around relationships and partnerships that aren’t quite complete, such as hoops and hurdles in finalizing divorce papers or ending a business deal. Then that crazy trickster leaves his Shadow Nov 17 at 9′ Scorpio bringing us all back full circle to whatever was happening back around mid-October. If you didn’t want something to end back then, be comforted because now it returns. But if you were trying to get out of something, well, it just doesn’t quite want to let go yet. Just when you thought it was over - they’re back!
And now we come to the part that is the hardest for me to swallow (AND it gives me heartburn) Mars turns Station Rx Nov 15 at 12′ Cancer. I don’t know how to candy coat this folks: Mars Retrograde is one nasty piece of work. This one throws his weight around and bullies those smaller than himself. If you thought the Venus retrograde mortgage cycle was intense, well Mars is even worse because he is agressive. This change of direction is taking place right on the USA’s Sun (and that of GW, and Tom Cruise, Lindsey Lohan and Pamela Anderson) voilence is not at all out of the question. The very best quote I can think of to describe retrograde Mars in Cancer is ‘Patriotism is a scoundrels last refuge’ and boy is he macho. Abusive men and bullies are likely to become more so during this cycle - take extra precautions.
More to the point of this time in our human history, we find Mars in Cancer creating sabotage and subterfuge of all things creative, fertile whole and unified. A cunning hypnotist, this one works against the greater good of society as a whole. The very best thing that can be done with this bass-ackward energy is to lay the groundwork for your own divine community of friends and soul-family and be ready to join with them when it’s needed and important. Community of the heart and soul is the one thing that no outside threat can ever tear apart - and it is one of the only things that we carry within our hearts for eternity. There are only a few things that are ultimately important in life - and the community that you share your heart with tops the list.
aries - The flip of your ruling planet Mars stirs up emotion, just be sure it doesn’t make you flip out! A big upheaval in your home is underway, and not only will you have to roll with it somehow, but you’ll also have to roll with the fact that nothing will be truly settled and clear until Spring of next year. Something that is deeply connected to your emotional roots, your Mom and your feelings and attitudes towards women and the feminine energy is making you take stock of the actions you take about them.
taurus - Early in the month a philosophical struggle creates a bitter taste when someone in your environment is willing to ‘win at all costs’ and you disagree with their tactics. After the 8th your mood shifts towards a greater desire for beauty and partnerships. You also find yourself looking at all sides of situation and hotly debating your point of view. Put your big plans into motion around the 20th.
gemini - I suppose having your choice of dating options is a quality problem, but be careful how you act or you will hurt someone. A potential partnership has just changed their mind and a new opportunity looks better than it did at first glance. Take your time making a decision, you won’t have all the information until mid month, when Mars decides to shake up your sense of security, hold on tight!
cancer - This month is the time to carefully consider forging new alliances and creating a greater sense of synergy with those who share your dreams. A very deep connection is is possible now with others, so I highly recommend that you go for it and don’t be afraid of those unfathomable spaces - there is deep wisdom at the bottom of that ocean. Just be very, very careful about Mars’ agression and keep it buttoned down.
leo - This is confusing and makes you question either your role or identity in a given situation. To make matters worse there is some sort of hidden agenda behind the scenes that you might be feeling but not seeing clearly. Be very cautious, someone may be treacherous while Mars flips in your Astrological ‘blind spot’.
virgo - Finally, you feel like you can convey your feelings more clearly again this month, but as things progress you’ll need to keep a close eye on what people are doing on the social scene. There is more than one hidden agenda afoot which could mean a grab for power, gossip or social slander. No, it’s not pretty.
libra - Mercury flips forward on your front doorstep. Aside from the x-games style acrobatics, it’s a relief to finally get a sense of where you really stand in your relationships. Just don’t get too comfortable, not only is it not really settled until mid-month, but that’s when Mars really stirs things up in a way that effects your career or social standing.
scorpio - Return to me! Weather or not this is your mantra now, it is most likely what you will get as Mercury does exactly that by mid-month. Things have changed though, and you may not be sure you still feel the same way. An exotic stranger, or new philosopy may pique your interest mid-month, just don’t expect them to be even remotely straight forward.
sagittarius - You are getting ready to make some big power plays this month. Woe be the person who underestimates you now; you are a force to be reconed with. The only trouble is, when acting like a force of reconing, sometimes you attract just that person who wants to fight ya to the death. Careful, careful with all that ‘making it happen’, universe has some say in it too.
capricorn - The argumentativeness of Mercury is giving you a headache early in the month, but you’re pretty organized and very effective for the fist half of the month, so put your paperwork, and house in order. When Mars flips in your house of Partnerships mid month you know that there are some major changes on deck.
aquarius - Mental chaos stimulates you, so you should be feeling all lit up like an early Christmas tree early in November. You can juggle, re-arrange and make more sense of your ideas around creativity and partnership now. Be careful in your daily routines and health practices though, Mars could signal an operation or some unexpected accident.
pisces - Shared financial plans begin to finally get straightened out and arranged to everyone’s satisfaction when Mercury starts to move forward this month. Along with that the Mars Retrograde can be extremely useful for anything you are doing connected to groups, teaching, events, publishing or foreigners. Reorganizing may cause some growing pains, but it will benefit you.
As a registered CHT (Certified Hypnotherapist) I have worked with hundreds of people to help them get to the bottom of challenging situations and to change inner belief systems or patterns that have been tripping them up.
Most people think of Hypnotherapy as a way to quit smoking, or lose weight, or improve some type of athletic performance - like getting a better golf swing, but hypnotherapy can do so, so much more than that. Of course all of the things I just mentioned are great reasons to consider Hypnotherapy, but I have seen it improve many far more emotional or deeply rooted concerns for my clients that I think it is important for people to understand just how helpful Hypnotherapy really is.
Ever since the movie “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” with Barbra Streisand came out in the 60’s people have widely understood that there is something deep going on inside the human mind. What is most amazing about Hypnotherapy is that it works, even if you don’t believe that what is going on is real. And on some level, it actually doesn’t matter if it is literally the truth or not. This is because the unconscious mind speaks in pictures, and when it creates pictures, those are the pictures that we work with in the hypnotic state.
I have seen my clients resolve everything from a fear of snakes to ambivalence about a relationship to clearing the path to get out of an unhealthy, but entrapped marriage situation. There is a testimonial from a client on the right from a woman who was finally freed from the chains of power that an ex held over her, and she was now able to be herself again, fully and freely. Even beyond that, my clients have found a greater sense of life purpose and joy from the self knowledge and connection to their true self that our Hypnotherapy sessions have brought them.
Some people are afraid of being hypnotized, but these fears are unfounded. Being in the state of hypnosis is really just like being relaxed and in a guided meditation or visualization. Even in stage hypnosis shows, the people who are selected from the audience have decided to give over to the hypnotist completely - that is why they are chosen. Stage hypnotists are very practiced at picking out the best and most responsive subjects. The truth is that nobody can make you do something that you don’t want to do - even when under hypnosis. But it is still a good idea to make sure that your practitioner is a Certified Hypnotherapist. And even though I am a CHT, there is just about a zero chance that you will ever see me up on stage in one of those shows!
I wanted to ask u if u think that Justin Timberlake and Britney spears
reuniting in the future? If yes when?
Can u please make an analyse on Britney and Justin relationship. He has Sun
in Aquarius and Moon in Sagittarius; she has Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in
Aquarius. They are soul mates. December 2008 Jupiter will conjunct Britney
and Justin’s shared Venus. Is there a chance for them to reconnect??????? He
is currently dating Jessica Biel. Will they break-up soon?
and if u could make a prediction about brit career and family for 2008.
Thank u
My reply:
I would give Britney and Justin a zero chance of getting back together.
You cannot base the concept of soul mate on Sun / Moon mutual reception - that aspect is simply NOT that powerful.
This whole picture is a Venus Archetype picture. We do not respect or value Venus in our culture.
Justin has always been a classy guy, and chances are that he would still care about Brit and her well-being, and for this reason he might act like a real FRIEND and try to help her out of the hole she has gotten herself into. To all appearances Justin doesn’t have a lot of negative Venus stuff going on.
If he does befriend her again, it will be despite the public humiliation that she put him through back when they were breaking up. Most men are not capable of overcoming the type of ego blow that she dealt to him. But I do believe that he is that rare and more evolved kind of man who IS capable of overcoming it (through Venus’ unconditional love) - thus my statement that he is a rare and classy guy (especially by Hollywood’s low standards).
Britney has sabotaged herself and been on a long self-destruct mission (representing a lack fo respect for Venus). But Brit IS capable of really loving her kids (venus = love), and because she is capable of love - no matter how messed up and addicted she is right now - she has a reason to recover. Her Venus Return next year is likely to see her both re-uniting with her kids AND gaining affection and popularity in her career.
The Bombshell archetype is the Archetype of Venus - which is just now completing it’s retrograde cycle this week, only to join up with Saturn in a few days. This signals a tough lesson in personal values, which Britney is playing out on the public stage for all of us to witness. Britney is a mess and needs to get herself together, AND get a bit tougher. Also, she has not been able to handle the hostility and gossip in the tabloids that fame has brought her - this has caused her to self destruct. The biggest mistake she ever made was to not take Madonna’s offer to mentor her (another Venus bombshell). Madonna is one tough nugget and was able to handle it and make it through the hostility that people, mostly other women (Venus = women) love to direct at sexy, attractive, powerful women. Hostility towards women is a negative manifestation of Venus.
Honestly, until women stop doing this to each other there will never be equality between the sexes. When women direct hostility and hatred and competition at other women we all lose. Any destruction of the feminine sex is a destruction to ALL OF US. The small, the jealous and the gossipy, small minded cruelty of women towards other women is what CREATES and ALLOWS all subjugation of women to occur everywhere on the planet. Women (Venus) only invert, repress and crush Venus when they do this - they only crush themselves! In Magic the pentagram is the symbol of Venus, but the inverted (upside down) petagram represents the Devil. On a fundamental level this inverted pentagram is the reflection of believing ourselves trapped within the senses, where the physical dominates the spiritual. This is a FALSE belief and is NOT how the Universe works. The forms of repression women keep each other in include: pornograpy, economic slavery, gossip, vanity, cruelty, competitiveness, the desire for other women to fail, the desire for domination, unwillingness to love or care, and closed off heart energy.
American women have more power than any group of women on the planet, and yet we do not cry out as a group against the female castration and torture that takes place every day in Africa. If we did - it would stop. But we do not care, we do not see that allowing this to happen half way around the world is the same as allowing our own sisters, daughters and mothers to be tortured.
It doesn’t matter what the stars are saying about Brit - it is up to her. Britney Spears is just the latest example of one woman who cannot personally handle what she is experiencing. If Britney is to recover and overcome her limitations two things must happen: #1 She must begin to love and value herself (respect for Venus) and put herself back together. #2 Venus is the archetype of the female and of love. Women everywhere need to begin to root for Britney Spears and care for her recovery as if their own life depends on it because sooner or later it does.
This is my call for all women to unite in Agape (unconditional love) to overcome the petty tyranny of injustice (reversed Venus) everywhere on planet Earth.
There is so much movement in the stars this month that it’s no wonder your head is spinning. Hidden information about money, women, property and items of value gets revealed in a shocking and unsettling way around the 9-12th. Then on Oct 12th Mercury turns Retrograde in Scorpio creating even more shockwaves in the Mortgage industry and in the markets. All issues related to money are under examination this month, which spells major change. Everyone needs to read Taurus. Remember when I started talking about this well over a year ago?
There are crises and there is conflict that continues from last month. The aspects through this fall are extremely challenging and destructive to many old, established systems. The hard questions and the hard problems face us impatiently. When there are no easy answers this results in pain and heartbreak in the world. The world faces such a time of reckoning now. Many people will be affected; those who will have the hardest time in these times are people who are not taking responsibility for themselves and their own well being. We are each being asked at this time to be responsible for our own needs – physically and spiritually – and not count on the company, the government, or even the health care system, the spiritual leader or financial advisor to have our best interests in mind. We must educate ourselves, and take actions for ourselves.
Not all of October is horrible, but there are some very tough times here. And there are always people who succeed and prosper no matter how challenging their surroundings and circumstances. The difference is usually in an attitude, and preparedness. The good news is that in November we get some truly great and rare Astrological blessings – allowing us to recover and find hope and an inner light after the challenges of September and October.
aries - Your ruler Mars is tiptoeing along in his shadow in Gemini. Be very careful since this lays the groundwork for events well into April of 08. Whatever you begin now, make sure it is all laid out carefully on paper, with very clear legalities and no hidden agendas. You need to take every precaution possible to insure yourself from deceit and getting the rug pulled out from under you. Don’t believe for a minute that other people are as honest as you are.
taurus - In the Internet world there is a term called ‘The Google Slap’ that countless online business people have suffered. This month there might be an equivalent Taurus slap. What is being called for from the stars now is an evaluation and rebalancing of personal values - as well as actual bank accounts and paychecks. My only question is: are you giving or getting the ’slap’?
gemini - You seem to be able to cast the illusion that you can juggle fire, balance plates on a stick and dance on the head of a pin all at the same time. Maybe you missed your calling as a circus showman. This act is truly mesmerizing. I wonder who you are going through all this effort for and what you are getting out of it. All great showbiz tactics aside, isn’t it easier just to ask for what you want.
cancer - An emotional new beginning is slated to begin for you this month around the 11th. Is it love? a New Home? a pet, a new child or grandchild? New beginnings are usually messy and non-linear, so try not to judge the process and just enjoy the new life that is being released into your world now. At the end of the month you may need to let go of an outmoded friendship or social circle.
leo - I can feel that palpable sense of relief that Saturn’s move out of your front yard is giving you. Finally you feel free to move about your own life again. Just breathe for a moment and take it in, ahhh freedom. Meanwhile the overhaul that your finances and business structures are undergoing may be causing you to some stress; remember financial changes merely serve to put us into deeper contact with our true values.
virgo - Venus makes a major revelation around the 12th - one which might completely change your personal image. The message now is to take a close look at the difference between personality and character. Personality is merely a mask, but character is who you truly are. Any cracks in the mask serve to help you to reveal a deeper layer of your true character. It’s time to shed an old skin.
libra - A truth so profound and deep that you aren’t even consciously aware of it is making itself felt in your subconscious mind. Be extra careful with your valued assets and don’t trust just anyone since you are vulnerable to trickery now, even from yourself. This would be an excellent time to take up meditation or hypnotherapy work - which could save you endless frustrations in the long run. You need a clear outside mirror to show you the things beyond your scope of vision.
scorpio - Forget your mind. In fact, put it in a box and hide it somewhere that it can’t bother you. Otherwise Mercury’s retrograde motion will taunt you with unruly, restless taunting and teasing. It’s like having a monkey screeching and swinging from your earlobe. Honestly, who can get anything done with that racket going on? No matter what he’s yelling or how loudly he’s yelling it you cannot trust it! Master the monkey mind now, and he becomes your servant for life.
sagittarius - Your career and public standing is undergoing a major case of “Time to get on with it.” Weather this brings rewards or hard work depends on weather you’ve been working hard for the past few years or messing around. The effort will be rewarded, and the messing around, well it becomes very clear now that this must come to an end.
capricorn - Something happens mid-month that puts you in control of either: the money, the art, the beauty or some other asset of value. You may feel the desire to control that which is out of your reach, or you may be given a duty that you are not sure how to handle. One way or the other you must reconcile what it means to handle this responsibility. I know you will make the right decision.
aquarius - You are re-evaluating your career based on new information for the next few weeks. And at the same time facts figures and details that you don’t like emerge in connection to your shared assets and group holdings. They do say that the numbers don’t lie. All in all, this causes a deep review and evaluation of your partnerships and ways of doing business. After this review you will emerge as a brand new you.
pisces - People you are in partnership with seem to be carrying a huge weight now. Make sure that you are not contributing to that weight because whatever they can’t carry must get dropped like a bad habit. The most compassionate thing you can do now is work extra hard to pick up the slack and make a major contribution to their well being
