The Secret – Is it Evidence of the Collapse of Modern Civilization?

OK, this book/movie has gotten so much attention, become such a big hit that you can barely breathe without someone mentioning it near you.

I just read a very funny review by a woman who practiced the secret for two months describing her experience. She was disappointed to say the least, but she WAS very funny about it. Look, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that this book and movie are total oversimplifications. Hmm, then again, maybe it DOES take a rocket scientist. This book IS selling at a rate of 150,000 copies per week. It is not just a book or just a movie, it is a movement.

I find it telling that this movie came out in the middle of the Jupiter-Pluto alignment that is all about winning at all costs. Clearly this IS the theme of The Secret Movement.

Look, I spent the first decade of my life immersed in the midst of all those mind-control guys who started the personal development movement, guys like Guru Ram Dass and all the psychedelic hippie guys like Timothy Leary. Yes, Aura IS my real name. (I’m probably the only person on the Internet not afraid to say who I am.) This was kind of the birth of the whole ‘mind-control’ movement. And let me just say this for the record, there was more than just a little bit of an ugly side to it all. But that’s a subject for a different article.

I won’t exactly say that the motivating force behind the desire for mind control is megalomania, but well, it is megalomania.

And then as a young adult I studied the esoteric principles that make the universe work. I belonged to some of those ‘secret societies’ and I learned what they were about. Today I own “The Complete Teachings of The Golden Dawn” and if you have any knowledge of these things you will understand that it will contain pretty much all the secrets of all the secret societies that ever were. The exception here would be the teachings of Alestair Crowley who was waaaay too creepy for any reasonable person to want to learn about. But this is just my point. Megalomania, creepy. This is what you find when you dig deep into the vaults of those who seek to manipulate the inner mind.

Here’s the truth: The REAL SECRET: the inner mind can definitely be manipulated. If you want to really learn how, then study some of the great salesmen of time. They know how to manipulate your inner mind – that’s why they make so much money.

The archetypes are very real, they really work – but not in the way people have been led to believe in ‘The Secret’. They work in real time, they work in the way we humans process information and understand the world – this is why a salesman can manipulate others with them. Whole religions have been started by the manipulation of these archetypes. Don’t get me started on that track. I am very pro spirituality, I believe in the church of the big trees. But I am not fond of organized religions. Hierarchy is a device of those creepy megalomaniacs. Jesus would never have stood for it, he was a very non-hierachy kind of guy.

We can’t get away from it, this manipulation of consciousness, our whole society is bound up in it. We even see it in the symbols used by McDonalds – those golden arches, which I nicknamed the tefflon tits. No real nourishment there, but that’s what we go there thinking we’ll get. Even the symbolism of oil companies, like 76 is designed to trigger specific reactions in our minds. Believe me, these people DO understand what they are doing. But no, they won’t be handing out the whole instruction manual in a movie like ‘The Secret’. Frankly even if anyone was inclined to share the real truths with humanity, it’s just too complicated to put on the 5th grade reading level.

So, yes there are SECRETS TO THE UNIVERSE, but you won’t be grasping them in a 90 minute movie. They can’t be explained in a few short sentences. And all those famous people who seem to have known ‘The Secret’ knew WAY MORE than this movement alludes to.

The real secret is that Byrne, who wrote the secret either really does know some of this esoteric archetype stuff (that’s why she’s sold so many books) OR she is a darling of someone who does. Either way, they’ve sold the books and movies to you! Isn’t it time you understood how your own mind is working to make you think that solving all of life’s problems is as simple as thinking positive?

Isn’t it time to actually break free of the hypnosis that is thrown upon us?

My real theory here is that The Secret was so successful because so many people are looking around at the world and realizing that there is some pretty bad news. Al Gore made a pretty compelling statement about global warming. War is hell, and it’s not ending. Celebrities delight in showing us the famine in Africa and India. We should think we’ve got it pretty good. But fantasy thinking is just, well, a lot more appealing.

Hey, I love all sorts of shiny new toys too, but I know a truth about the Universe and Universal principles – Nobody can manifest anything that isn’t in alignment with their level of consciousness. In other words, I’m too aware of oil problems to go out and get a guzzler, no matter how much delirious wishful thinking I apply to the situation. My argument is that if you know someone who IS creating things like this by using the Secret, you should probably run, you’re not likely to find a lot of consciousness there.

If you’re reading this, then it’s a good bet that YOU are a little too self aware to waste your time in wishful or shallow thinking – at least not all the time. So I made a CD, called The REST of the Secret that explains how this really works. I’m not selling wishful thinking. I am explaining how the archetypes of the mind work. These archetypes ARE principles of Astrology, and the CD will give you an overview of how it works. Oh, and it’s free.

And, by the way, if you DO try and use The Secret without a full understanding of it, don’t be surprised if it backfires on you. That’s what happens when you tell your unconscious something that is out of alignment with your inner being. But how do you know what IS in alignment with your inner being? Well, that’s what I teach.

But in a nutshell, as far as ‘The Secret’ goes here’s what it is: Venus is the Law of Attraction. She is also Earth and nature. We have been kicking her ass for a very long time, and if we want to clear that up we’ve got a lot of work to do. That’s the real story. But you’re right, the way Byrne dressed it up sounded a whole lot better.


Horoscope for February

February Horoscope

The moves of the stars for the next few months resembles a complicated dance routine so busy that it is simply dizzying. As Feb begins Mars picks up speed and goes direct while Mercury has just turned backwards. Together the confusion should create enough frustration to make anyone feel slightly nuts. At least we’ll all have enough energy to put some oomph into it again after the past two months of energy zap. We might feel motivated, but we’re all plenty confused and can’t expect ourselves to come up with final or complete answers – so don’t even try! Even after Mercury goes direct again on the 19th we still find ourselves sorting out all the contacts and meetings he’s had this month – and there are LOTS of them. Generally speaking this means that the month will be filled with re connections to friends, family, old loves and heart breakers, and long-standing arrangements, grudges, emotional ‘deals’ and even financial matters. This is such a great blessing though, because it allows any and all of these things from the past that have been holding us back to be released, cleansed and re patterned once and for all. Think of it like this; it’s not every day that you get to read the twisted winding history of your family tree, so when you do get this opportunity it can lead to a brand new lease on life. Get ready, we’re in for a bumpy ride.

One of the things that all these changes of directions WILL do for us is bring back things from the past that we thought had left – especially from the recent past. So get ready. But then, on the other hand, when they come back they may not stick around the second time either – it all depends on what else is going  on in your own chart transits to determine if you’ve actually found your soulmate.

And I haven’t even mentioned the Eclipse’s yet, there are two of them in February, the first, the Solar Eclipse takes place right on the Chinese New Year; 7 Feb (17Aqu44). It is also conjunct Chiron, Neptune and Rx Mercury this releases us from attachments to our sense of accomplishment and achievement or the expectations of fathers and father figures. Long standing figure heads are likely to move over at this time when we see our own outward values making way for a greater need for inner satisfaction, community and family connection. Next the Lunar Eclipse on Feb 21 (01Vir52) Connect with Saturn. This is a more difficult eclipse that put’s pressure on our community, causes emotion to burst forth and generally behaves in critical and frustrated ways. Burdens are place on women at this time (and they aren’t being welcomed!) and we all feel frustrated by wanting things that we feel we cannot have. Dissatisfaction runs high, the public is mobilized and active, hidden information begins to be revealed with unsettling results and rational thinking is pretty hard to find. In the middle of this apparent chaos, I say that there are huge (unseen) blessings afoot, mostly in the form of rebuilding broken systems. Whew, what a month!

aries – A social figure, friend or person of influence suddenly leaves your network, which leaves you feeling the gap. What do you want to do? Perhaps it’s time for you to step in and fill those big shoes yourself, after all, when you see an opportunity, you’re not usually one to let it slip past you. Later in the month the revelation of new information around health matters gives you concern and makes you re-think your habits and routines.

taurus – A sudden change in your career makes you rethink and rework all of your plans. Maybe you suddenly see an opportunity, or maybe you’ve just been shown the way to change professional hats. Either way, it will take some work to accomplish your goal, so make a plan now, and then stick to it. Later in the month the Lunar Eclipse triggers your creativity – not to mention fertility, so get ready to be a creative force to be reconed with – it is undeniable now and you need to let it happen!

gemini – The Solar Eclipse works in your favor and removes an opponent or obstacle to your goal. Strike while the iron is hot and you can strengthen your power. An exotic stranger threatens to rock your world, just don’t cheat on anyone. Around the 21st, an upheavel at home causes dishes to fly – I told you not to cheat on anyone!

cancer – A total reversal of your everyday assumptions and expectations is on the Universal agenda, so keep your plans loose and don’t get too attached to things going a certain way. Within the next 3 months you are likely to look back and wonder how things could have changed so much so fast. Sudden news later in the month makes huge waves, upsets the apple cart and causes you to completely change your whole strategy.

leo – You are ready to throw in the towel with your whole social network. Your frustration has reached some kind of boiling point, and partnerships have a huge impact on all of it. Just be prepared for some kind of capricious and unpredictable actions from your partners and you will be ok. A sudden financial revelation leaves you stunned later in the month, so hedge your bets.

virgo – Someone who has been stopping you or blocking you from moving forward with your plans suddenly just leaves the picture. It is almost like the problem has been pulled up by the roots – good riddance! The Virgo Lunar Eclipse causes you to gain deep clarity and understanding about what has really been motivating you, I mean the things you didn’t know about before. This gives you the chance to start over with a clean chalkboard.

libra – A lover could leave your life for good. Don’t cry over losers dear, they’re not worth it! But you are creatively inspired as well, so a good time in the bedroom is high on your priority list and could land you a new amore before you’ve had time to dry your tears. I really, really, really suggest you take a long tour through your subconscious and find out where your self-sabotage is coming from – this could save you a lot of pain this month.

scorpio – Challenging and sudden changes in your home life create stress. You can handle it though, I know you. Just realize that things are not going to go as you plan them to, and get flexible. I know it’s not comfortable for you, but it will save your sanity. The birth of a social community is the answer to your frustrations and provides you with what you really need – a sense of place within a larger community.

sagittarius – Your mail could get lost, or even your identity stolen. The news you get this month is beyond crazy and makes you wonder which end is up, so stay grounded and remember to breathe. A sudden and overwhelming need to prove yourself or make waves in your career grips you toward month’s end. You are not used to this kind of frenzy and are almost afraid of it. We have a word for it; ambition.

capricorn – Changes on the financial front create an unsettling sense of ‘what’s next’ for you. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, but you’ll have to get really creative to transform it for the good, try studying Donald Trump. On the other hand, new and exotic connections from far and abroad will open up fantastic opportunities that are also incredibly rewarding – IF – and only IF you are paying attention for them.

aquarius – The Solar Eclipse in your sign creates some kind of disruption for you in the area of your career or public identity. You may suddenly find yourself taking on a new role or behaving in a totally uncharacteristic way. This is all part of the picture. Then, by month’s end you find yourself in the position of taking on a team, joining with others and working towards a mutually desired – and much needed – goal.

pisces – Just be prepared for things you aren’t expecting, I’m not saying that you’ll experience a betrayal this month, just that you need to guard against it. Don’t just trust that things are running smoothly and that business will continue as usual. Someone is likely to rock the boat now. Also, by month’s end your partnerships reveal things that have been buried or unspoken for a long time. It’s time to listen, this needs to be heard.


Time for the November Horoscope boys and girls!

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.

October Horoscope

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

September Horoscope

As the month begins Saturn moves into Virgo, further emphasizing the Eclipse themes of the year.  Venus; the goddess of the Law of Attraction changes directions again on the 9th which disrupts plans and financial flow everywhere.  This IS a good time to pick up a bargain though. Also, planets in Virgo can be promiscuous, so sexually transmitted disease could well begin making headlines soon too.  The trend for the next 3 years shifts away from “guru’s” and other figureheads and towards service, health and details.  Our collective attention moves from “the One” towards “the Many.”  One main theme this year has been the destruction of useless, decrepit and ineffective SYSTEMS.  Now that we move away from the highlighting of the fixed signs towards mutable ones, we can expect a lot more negotiation and far less autocratic rulemaking.  There will finally be some room for discussion, although heated circular debates are no better than arrogant imperialism!

In September Mars makes his presence felt too, which highlights a battle of the sexes as well as some sort of excess testosterone scenarios.  As September comes to an end a solar alignment of Pluto and Jupiter begins which starts a hugely competitive streak and an unstoppable desire to win, a trend that lasts well into 2008.  In late September this will bring some fantastic opportunities, especially in the areas of education, travel, and foreign affairs.  For some this will signal the beginning of a cycle of great good fortune.  But as the fall arrives this picture gets more and more complicated with competition giving way to poor sportsmanship and the desire to ‘win at all costs.’ The ease and effectiveness with which we navigate the testy waters of summer set us up for the topsy-turvy fall that awaits us.  In other words, if you think summer is intense – you aint seen nothing yet!

Aries – The Aries Full Moon on the 26th – let go of something.  This is an annual ending or psychological death, which ultimately frees you, be more of who you are, so embrace it.  Also this month Mars opposes Pluto setting philosophical power struggles on fire.  A war of words is pretty much un-winnable, but still a flurry of verbiage is almost guaranteed.  At the end of the month a stroke of genius provides you with a solution to any problems.  Read Scorpio.

Taurus – A false sense of security never helped anyone.  This month your false sense of security is likely to disintegrate.  This is ultimately very good news and means that whatever you have been tolerating can now leave once and for all, and when it’s gone you can work on creating your own, very real and substantial sense of security.  Remember, good is the enemy of great, and now more than ever you can eliminate good and embrace great.

Gemini – Negotiations do not go as planned this month.  The Eclipse virtually guarantees this fact.  An emotional disruption, or even the disappearance of a key person in your plans causes you to question the whole ball of wax.  It is time for you to look deeply into my eyes, er, your soul and evaluate if this was really a reflection of your deepest emotional desires.  If not, then consider the disruption a gift from the Universe who did for you what you couldn’t do for yourself.

Cancer – Your introverted self has had the covers pulled.  There is nowhere to hide now, so I really hope that you have some plan about how to use this sudden exposure.  All those flashing paparazzi bulbs can be blinding.  Being seen is both useful and revealing.  Are you ready?  If you have some plan to be of service then this time will be extremely productive for you.  All I can say, is be prepared.

Leo – You don’t like to stand in the shadows, but sometimes it just can’t be avoided.  Maybe you can look at it like this – you my Solar Leo baby are full of high BTU wattage, and when that wattage is sometimes not wanted on center stage your job then becomes to shine the light on a new player.  Since you are the brightest bulb around, you are indispensable, but you’d blind them all if you shined it right in their eyes.

Virgo – You normally go through a regular revamping of yourself and your identity, but nothing like this month.  The Virgo Solar Eclipse takes away some aspect of your work or worldly identity, which you have come to depend upon.  Come on Virgo!  You should know by now that your talent lies in your flexibility.  Getting too comfortable with the thing that now disappears just serves to bring you back to your own core talent of versatility.

Libra – Your Venus ruler changes direction and goes direct on the 9th, bringing back something that was going on at the End of August.  An obsession with social drama or dynamics could prove endless, relentless and highlight odd or inappropriate desires.  This whole cycle of Venus won’t end until mid Oct. and it serves to let go of and release any inappropriate values you have been holding onto.

Scorpio – On Sept 16 Mars starts a cycle that lasts until April of 08.  The destructive side of this influence leaves you with a choice: as U2 sings, “Am I part of the cure, or am I part of the disease?”  Ultimately the answer is up to you.  You will find yourself in the position to either pick up the pieces, creating something new and wonderful through your natural talent for recycling, or you will hurl wrenches and cause destructive anarchy.

Sagittarius – Mid month you may feel as though everyone is fighting you as Mars creates competition and power struggles and the Sun tries to control every little detail of what you do.  Fortunately Venus smiles on you.  This brings you buckets of cash, huge popularity and the affection of others.  Don’t spend it all in one place; your competition is waiting for you to mess up, so keep a level head.

Capricorn – A philosophical upheaval this month is SO eerie that it leaves you questioning your entire version of reality.  And maybe that’s a good thing.  Saturn bound Caps often get too crystallized in one outlook, and a little shaking things up can show you how to boogie to the music of the stars.  After all, this whole stage we call the world should be filled with joy – now it’s time for you to find yours.

Aquarius – Revelation – in the form of a complex set of details, plans and information – comes to you suddenly!  You might be Einstein dreaming of the theory of relativity: ME x Efforts squared = sudden success.  Don’t let the complexity of your vision fool you, all success is ultimately pure and simple when you really look at it; and this is how you will know you have struck pay dirt.  It is elegantly simple.

Pisces – Partnerships disrupt your entire flow.  The emotional needs, demands and even the visions and impressions that your significant other(s) express now need to be paid attention to.  Either pay attention on purpose or witness yourself being the subject of a hostile takeover.  Relationships require a delicate balance of power and energy, now is a time for a re-adjustment of that energy.


August Horoscope

August HoroscopeA certain obsessive energy is in the air this month and well in to September. Take extra care to create balance in your life and not get swept into the obsessions of others. On July 27 Venus Retrograded in Virgo at 3′ – this is a very sticky scenario in August. Venus won’t turn direct until Sept 9th and won’t exit the shadow until Oct 13. This is one LONG cycle that may cause strange tastes to emerge – has anyone besides me seen how anorexic models are getting? Who finds this attractive? It’s not the Retrograde of Venus so much (although she does require us to re-evaluate our values and desires) it’s the aspects she makes to Saturn, the first of which takes place on August 13. The short story is that money matters get tough and serious during the 3 conjunctions of Venus to Saturn. Venus is “The Secret” they talk about in the movie, and right now she is imparting profound (and sometimes karmic) lessons about the meaning and value of service and health in our lives. Seriously folks, when an extra handful of peas serve as a decadent desert for those who walk the Paris runways – what’s next?

One other aspect of Venus is that she represents love and beauty. When a culture and a people lose the capacity to appreciate the things she represents: art, luxury, love, beauty, femininity, movable wealth, creativity – then that culture becomes the prisoner of Venus inverted – or in her negative manifestation. The negative manifestation of Venus is: hatred of women, pornography, oppression of the female form, venereal disease, loveless or compulsive sex, materialism, being demanding, destruction of creativity, obsession with money, lack of kindness. When Saturn crushes Venus down there’s no way to make it into a pretty story – it just isn’t. This aspect only has one good side; that is that women emerge with strength and power now – but not because things are rosy and happy. No, female power emerges out of the NEED for it to emerge.

The Full moon in Aquarius on the 29th asks us to release or change patterns, systems and outmoded ideas that govern the public and humanity at large. This Full moon comes equipped with a Total Lunar Eclipse – which is extremely emotional – on August 28 in Pisces 4’46 (Saros Series 128). At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will once again state that these big themes are all about mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health (as I have been saying since last year). Last fall’s eclipse on the US Neptune brought us tainted spinach, the spring Eclipses brought us tainted pet food. This problem is only getting worse, and I recommend being extra, extra careful about what foods you consume. Unfortunately there is no failsafe, since I am pretty sure that our whole food supply is fairly well poisoned by now. My best suggestion is to intuitively check your foods and pray, bless and spiritually cleanse them before eating. Oh, yeah this Eclipse can also be connected to anorexia. This Pisces eclipse is also tied to hidden enemies, drug problems and addiction as well as psychic energy, vision the astral plane and mysticism. Because Eclipses are traditionally considered bad luck this can suggest personal experiences of betrayal and misfortune from not paying close enough attention to ‘inner cues’ or psychic impressions. In my opinion all aspects can be used for good or not, depending on personal awareness and preparation. To learn how to use this Eclipse to your benefit sign up for my Free Psychic Sense tele-seminar at www.7MagicKeys.com

aries – If you think you know what’s going on, think again. The Pisces eclipse takes place in your Astrological blind spot. This would be a good time to find a spiritual ‘rear view mirror’ and get an outside perspective. I can virtually guarantee that there is something going on that will take you by surprise. It may just be your own inner nature demanding expression, but in my experience it is usually easier when you have some idea of what is heading your way rather than being completely blindsided by surprise. Fortunately you can turn the obsessive qualities in yourself and other people towards your benefit and ultimate goals this month.

taurus – The unexpected surprises that the Pisces Eclipse have in store could land an big bonus in your lap. Drama is to be expected, but you will benefit. Don’t feel guilty, just take the prize and run, and remember that on some unseen karmic level you’ve already earned it, so let yourself enjoy. Other people’s obsessions are either extremely frustrating or very funny, IF you learn to look at it in the right way. I suggest using your humor as much as possible and you will emerge completely unscathed by current dramas.

gemini – You or a partner are having a very hard time getting enough of something. What it is only you know, but it does border on compulsion. Balance is the key to health and lack of balance creates crises. Any drug or addiction fueled crises that emerge in your life this month serves to show you just where there is a lack of balance within your own heart and mind. Bring that balance back and you will regain your health (not to mention some sanity).

cancer – The birth of a new philosophy can be a very messy process, especially when it requires bringing together far flung connections from all corners of the earth and sky. But this month you are up to the challenge and you can expect to receive help from the most unexpected (and even unseen) sources. The power of intention is so profound for you now that you could even begin teaching manifestation seminars to other people. We want to know how you do it!

leo – Under pressure is just how it is for you now, but the good news is that it is a last gasp for the 3 year cycle that has been weighing you down. At least you have gotten used to all the hard work that is required of you, and if you’ve kept a smiling attitude and humble approach it will be rewarded soon enough. It could even be rewarded with other people becoming a bit obsessed with you. Like it or not, this is quite possible. The thing about obsession is that often those who are the object of it are also somehow obsessed; are you?

virgo – “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” OK, not really. How about: ‘drama, emotion and tears, oh my!’ this is far closer to the flavor of this month for you. Weather you are on the hot seat or just witnessing it, it will be dramatic. Emotion filled events and seemingly out of control behavior makes the whole scene even juicier. What’s an even-headed Virgo to do? If I’m not mistaken you are likely to dive right into the middle of the action with surprising abandon. Don’t blame me if there are fireworks, you’re the one who lit the fuse!

libra – Secrets are the most dangerous thing on earth. They are also the most volatile. Your whole routine and daily life could be disrupted by the unexpected, or something, which has been kept a secret. The best way to derail this charging train is to simply get all the cards out on the table. It may not be so pleasant, but I promise it is better than having the whole house turned upside down. Pay very close attention, there may be something going on with a social contact that you don’t see, or don’t want to see – but which you MUST see to keep your life in order.

scorpio – “Viva la Revolution!” It appears to me that you are doing an excellent impersonation of Chez Guevarra this month. I have no idea weather this approach is serving your goals and aspirations or not, but it is definitely entertaining. Just remember that this time the revolution is being fought within the hearts and minds of every individual and not against an outside regime. The rebel who has no cause is the cause of a lot of pain for self and others. Don’t forget that your offspring depend on you and remain as balanced as possible. Real transformation will be accomplished through quiet means.

sagittarius – You feel like you gotta be where the action is now. Be very careful, this action could cause someone to get hurt and I’d hate for it to be you. The Pisces Eclipse brings deep emotion up to the surface and that’s a recipe for some kind of meltdown or unstoppable force. Mom and apple pie are great unless someone is hurling them across the room. Take time to breath and calm the drama. This is NOT the month to make waves or create emotional pressure.

capricorn – There is a message coming your way that is not only surprising but quite possibly mind blowing as well. A sibling tells it, and it won’t be at all what you are expecting or assuming. Get ready for your worldview to be shaken so vigorously that you will never see anything the same way again. And try to remember that the Universe conspires for your greatest good, no matter how strange and bizarre that may appear in the moment.

aquarius – Money is an energy. We think it is tangible, but it is even less tangible than the seat you’re sitting on. In fact it is almost purely an idea, a concept. I point this out because this month a revolution is taking place in your pocket book, and that revolution stands to free you from old limiting and useless beliefs that you have been holding about yourself, money, wealth and finances. If none of it is really real, then you must be free to make up any new story that works for you – right?

pisces – “A curse on both your houses!” is the Shakespeare quote, and it represents the disruption to both the inner and outer worlds that happens when one is constantly ignored to the point of rebellion. There is an inner rebellion-taking place within you now, and repressing it is the very worst thing you could do. Since I would hate to see such a curse fall on either of your houses, I recommend that you make room to deal with and face the very worst and most uncomfortable thing you can possibly think of. That should do the trick and ward off any Shakespearean curses that might be floating around your doorstep this month.

July Horoscope

Eclipse August 28 and Sept 11Mercury turns Direct on the 10th at 2′ Cancer and then Mercury leaves his shadow on the 24th. This means that most of July is spent recovering whatever Mercury related issues came to the surface in June. On July 27 Venus Retrogrades in Virgo at 3′ – this is a very sticky scenario all the way into August. Venus lessons bring us into direct contact with our personal values, and this time Venus will tangle with unpleasant Saturn 3 times over the summer. Also in late July endings, breakdowns and completions are highlighted by what I call the “It’s over” aspect. The upcoming August Full moon comes equipped with a Total Lunar Eclipse – which is extremely emotional – on August 28 in Pisces. Eclipses are felt up to 3 months in advance, so we’re already under it’s spell. Spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health and well-being are the focus now, as well as psychic insight and connecting to divine knowledge. Join me for a free Psychic Development teleseminar, sign up at www.7MagicKeys.com.

aries – An event filled summer highlights home and family issues, crystallizing and bringing any problems or disagreements to the surface. There is likely to be at least one change of heart during these heated months. This ultimately impacts your health and daily routines causing a complete change and re-ordering of your daily life. Pets, employees and work environment is also in focus now. There could be a move of home, office or other major shift in your daily activities.

taurus – If only you were clear about what you wanted it would be much easier to get it! Now is the time to begin communicating your desires, your hopes, wishes and dreams. This will open up your creative energy and allow you to bring ‘new life’ into your summer as you begin to manifest what you really want and need. This road doesn’t go in a straight line though, so be prepared to zig and zag a few times on the trial of life as you get clearer and clearer about what it is you really and truly want and need. This clarity takes time to arrive at – so don’t try to push the river!

gemini – Not only are you re-arranging your finances and possessions this summer – and perhaps also your furnature – you also find yourself re-evaluating your dwelling or place of abode. There may be a few difficult chioces that have to be made now as you shift your priorities and main life focus. Doing so now will free up any energy that has been locked up or stuck in old dusty corners. This will free you to be more truly who you really are.

cancer – Who are you, and how do you communicate that to the world? This is the summer-long question that you will be asking, and aswering and asking again. Anything that is useless or gets in your way must now be discarded, including old clothing, out of style haircuts and other expressions of your self-image. Trips and journeys are possible as well – and there is probably something about revisiting the past involved. You might even find yourself going back to the same place, idea or form of communication several times.

leo – The restless activity in your subconscious mind may be keeping you up at night, but the messages are important so try to capture them on paper somehow. As the summer progresses a period of review and auditing your possessions and worldly wealth is highlighted. Sooner than later you find yourself face to face with what you own and the value of your material existence. This would be a good time to calculate your net-worth, restructure finances and examine what is most important to you.

virgo – You get to continue playing the social butterfly as drama’s from last month beging to settle and you start to feel more comfortable in your social role. By August the attention is all on you, and some people love you while others, mmm, not so much. People will keep changing thier mind about you all summer long: we love what you did/ we hate what you did; so don’t take any of it personally. Just be true to yourself and these outside changes won’t influence your inner well-being.

libra – You can finally begin to straighten out your career and reputation now. Whatever was going on, whatever gossip rumor or innuendo you got caught in can now be put in its place. It’s a good thing too, because for the rest of summer you will have your hands full trying to sort out mixed messages from your intuition which could be impacting your health. Be extra careful of dreamers, druggies, escapists and unstable personalities – you need to watch out for hidden enemies.

scorpio – Foreigners change your whole world view, and this could set you off on a topsy-turvy journey of re-evaluation of ‘truth’ and other intangible concepts. Later in the summer, your involvement with social groups, activism, and the needs of the masses at large undergoes a series of changes and revisions. You develop a point of view that creates a strong and clear message for you to shout out from the chimney tops. No, now is not the time for you to be shy, introverted or anything like a wallflower.

sagittarius – What property, businesses, stocks, bonds or other assets you share with other people has been the subject of scrutiny. This is finally brought to completion in July and a new cycle begins of evaluating your career and the reputation you are developing. You may have several changes of heart as the summer unfolds – and so will those that you are dealing with. Be prepared for major career changes and transformations this season. Take extra care of your health.

capricorn – Partnerships of all stripes have been confusing, but fortunately this cycle ends in July and makes way for an opportunity to expand your routines and your horizons, possibly through education or travel and a new alliance with a foreigner or foreign culture. There is more here than meets the eye, and wealth is possible. Just be prepared for many changes and reversals along the way as the summer unfolds.

aquarius – It’s like you’ve been ripping through all your old desk files and creating quite a mess as you pull everything out to be seen. This allows you to completely re-organize and systemize everything. Whew! By the end of July you will be VERY proud that job is finished. Once you know what you have and where everything is, you can begin to look for others who provide the missing keys to your empire. You may have to try out a few candidates over the summer before you settle on what you really want, but it’s bound to be an educational experience!

pisces – The fallout from communication dramas has benefited you. Perhaps you tend to play ‘mama (or papa) bear’ to your crew, certainly right now everyone feels like one of your children and your parental instincts are super strong. Later this summer you find that a parter is going through a shift of values or review of priorities. This will impact you, so pay close attention to what they are saying – but whatever you do, don’t try to parent them!

The What’s up with June? Horoscope

This month Mercury turns Retrograde on the 16th at 12′ Cancer. He entered his own shadow on May 30th at 2′ Cancer. One strong theme this is likely to bring up is NOSTALGIA. It is also time for the ancient “Secret(S)” to finally begin to be revealed. This also speaks directly to the emerging power of the divine feminine and developing your intuition – you can learn more on my Free Conference Call.

The Retrograde of Mercury often strikes fear into the hearts of Astrology buffs everywhere – but it need not be so! Every planetary motion is useful for something, and this is no different. This particular set of messages are deeply connected to home, family, emotional needs, Mom, apple pie and our dear country the USA – which is aspected by this current movement of Mercury. Expect news about national policy, and it’s leadership – the election curcuit will heat up and stories will change and be re-written at this time. President Bush’s Sun is conjunct the USA’s Sun (which is one of the reasons for his inexplicable hold over popular opinion), so he is likely to be in the News a lot – as will fellow early Cancer Tom Cruise. One strong theme this is likely to bring up is NOSTALGIA – Mercury Retrograde is always a little nostalgic, but in Cancer it is amplified a hundred times. We really love our Amercana at times like these and cultural icons tend to reach peak status: think Norman Rockwell paintings, Hunter S. Thompson books (a Cancer), Levi’s, old cars, WW2 era stories and those of loyalty and honor, as well as picnics, home improvements and all things of ‘American Classic’ status. And don’t forget, old friends and lovers (and sometimes enemies) often show up with this aspect.

At the end of the month there are a few aspects that are tough on relationships, so some will break up at this time. Also this month Uranus turns Retrograde at 18′ Pisces on the 23rd. This should impact TV, computer industries and other tech fields, as well as public services and utilities, like electricity. And on the 25th the Saturn – Neptune opposition peaks in power again. This combination should be lethal to any wounded electronics or limping technologies/systems. This week could see thier demise. Oops, it’s time for a new washer/refrigerator/computer or bio-diesel vehicle; you get the idea. But don’t blame it on Mercury – it’s not his fault. As they say, don’t shoot the messenger!

Don’t forget to sign up for a free teleconference at www.7magickeys.com

aries – You are in serious ‘get the business handled’ mode this month, so it should be very productive for your tangible plans and goals. Areas of communication and/or technology and the media are likely to be more than a little unpredictable this month, so try to keep you cool. Mid-month you are uniquely able to get what you want, when you want and from whom you want it, so speak up and ask for it (just make sure that you really know what it is that you DO want).

taurus – Hold the course is your motto this month, because you know that in order to accomplish something you will have to focus on only ONE thing at a time. Communicating your values, speaking your truth and expressing who you are must all be part of the package now, and allows you to use the law of attraction successfully mid-month. At the end of the month you may need to play hardball, be tough or deliver unpleasant truths, but it takes a diamond to cut through a diamond – and both require pressure to exist.

gemini – Mercury Retrograde in your Solar 2nd house is all about money, finances, values and personal security as well as creature comforts and sensuality. It all boils down to personal values and now is the time for an evaluation of them to see if they are reflected accurately in your outside world. Remember, physical is just a result of the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. A clear look at what’s actually happening allows you to make the appropriate changes.

cancer – Teaching, learning and information is the main theme of the month for you. For the first two weeks you need to find what philosophies, schools, publishing ventures or ideas, aren’t working for you anymore and let them go. Then after the 14th it’s all about finding ways to use words and sales to increase your magnetic power and ability to mesmerize, hypnotize and sythesize the dreams and visions of others.

leo – The Sun in Gemini is your friend and stimulates you to no end. You may find yourself focusing on ways to increase sales or launch a marketing campaign early in the month, which keeps you busy. The Retrograde of Mercury in the ‘unconscious’ creates a flurry of activity with dreams and messages from the unknown. Writing about it and keeping a dream journal is just one useful way to capture this wisdom. There is no doubt that your higher self and personal angels are trying to make contact with you now. “Knock, knock, anybody home…?”

virgo – Social goups, technology, politics and any undertaking related to the ‘masses’ in some way will require a great deal of review and occupy your entire month. If you are launching a large-scale plan you should just expect to change and review and rewrite and redo it again and again all month long. Next month the real progress begins. The good news is that all this re-do-ing creates a solid and long lasting foundation.

libra – You may want to start the month by taking an inventory of what you have and assesing your talents, abilities and assets. This will give you an accurate idea of where you stand in the world at large and will be extremely helpful when you are able to make a list of what you need mid-month and then draw it right to you. The end of the month is the time to make the brutal cuts and release dead weight.

scorpio – You are one tough (fruit juice sweetened) cookie. This allows you to be your absolute best during the greatest times of challenge. Around the 11th you can successfully marshall the powers that be around you to release your sacred power of destruction as a tool for leveling your playing field and preparing for the profound and infinite rebirth and regrowth to come.

sagittarius – One of the most undervalued principles in the universe is that of clearing and release. You, however have that principle at your disposal for the first two weeks of the month. Cleansing, clearing, releasing and letting go all have great value and significance in the scheme of life. At this time for you it is nothing less than a personal rebirth – which is the foundation for all good relationships to come.

capricorn - It will last just as long as you wish it to last. No matter what it looks like, it is actually you who has the power to decide the longevity of the question – and relationship – at hand; not to mention all the candidate(s) who are waiting in the wings. This requires you to take a deep look at what you really want. Questions about partnership loom larger than ever when their behavior or circumstances become even more erratic than usual. At the end of the month you must really decide – is this what you want?

aquarius – A current fascination with how to increase your reach and expand your influence right now nearly excludes everything else on the table. Your nose is not just to the grindstone, it has practically turned into the grindstone. Please, please remember to take a break and run around the block a few times. Restricted energy (Mars) will release somehow, and it is much better to be the one in charge of how that happens.

pisces – Reviewing what you have to say (or publish) and how you need to do it is a necessary part of your process – and now more than ever it takes center stage. Is travel involved? Philosophy? A unified theme is needed, or else how can you hope to marshall the forces available? A leaky boat always sinks. Remember, competition is healthy and brings out the best of what we have to offer.

May Horoscope

May Horoscope Saturn

General forcast for May:
Many of the biggest problems that carried over from April finally pass their peak by May 8th. Meanwhile there is a frantic sense of urgency with which we are all trying to ‘get things done’. It is likely that we will get these tasks accomplished, but the bigger context within which we are working on them could change and render them moot. What we are experiencing is a simultaneous breaking down of unworkable systems while new more useful ones are being erected. We will all find our efforts most effective if we pay attention to what ‘flows’ and not put our energy where we feel we are beating heads against brick walls – take that brick wall as a sign to stop!

There are a few good windows of opportunity to get new things started in early May, but choose your timing very carefully. On the world stage there are huge pressures that are limiting the long-term viability of many types of plans and actions. The pressure of these forces makes this an ideal time to clear out ancient and useless rubble that may be blocking your life in some way. The Universe is breaking up obstacles, so you may want to work with that wave and let it help – not hurt – you. Any ‘things’ that need to be removed should go now – including dead trees, dry brush and old furniture, mismatched socks – not to mention outmoded attitudes and points of view.

This month Saturn advocates responsibility; and he intends to make sure of it. This means that we either accept the hard work willingly and with awareness or have it thrust upon us in the form of unwelcome burdens or obligations. These responsibilities are tied in with a Sun-Mercury Eclipse in oh-so-practical Taurus that highlights contracts, communications, teaching and performing. Later in the month the pressure is on to create innovation and progress. Don’t forget to look for the Blue Moon in Sag on the 31st. Visit AstrologyChick.com for details on how to make use of it.

aries – There’s a big change on the horizon for you this month. By mid month you are tangled up with ideas like commitment, responsibility, and family obligations. Words like longevity and legacy have greater meaning in the current context and you must become clear that where you put your focused attention is what you will get more of in your life – if it matches you values then great, if not, it’s time for an adjustment.

taurus – Early in the month you may feel yourself in a deep power struggle or wrestling with some type of inner conflict. You may even be tempted to behave unpredictably in your search for a solution or peace of mind; the Taurus New Moon on the 16th signals a new beginning and while Venus is ‘out-of-bounds’ most of the month, you will be spiritually protected, and should be able to receive divine inspirations.

gemini – The Sun Mercury Eclipse creates system glitches and breakdowns the first two weeks of May. Now it becomes quite clear what systems need to be tossed and replaced. Structures that are dependent purely on ego or personality must now be replaced. If you are part of the cure, then you’ve got your work cut out for you – that’s a responsibility you can embrace with enthusiasm.

cancer – Are you coming or going? This month it’s probably both. On the 2nd is the Full Moon in Scorpio, which brings secrets, sexual tensions and transformations to their needed conclusions. Then the Taurus New Moon on the 16th launches a cycle of independent resources and practical plans. Finally the Blue Moon in Sagittarius on the 31st helps to put a philosophical conflict to rest, whew, what a month!

leo – The pressure is ON this month, and so are the changes. Be prepared to watch systems disintegrate before your very eyes – mostly dependent on financial changes. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time, so this should not be a huge surprise, but it’s uncomfortable nonetheless. Being flexible and placing ideals above personality will go a very long way now.

virgo – You can jump in and make useful suggestions when the Sun-Mercury Eclipse shakes up trouble mid-month. Just be sure that your good ideas aren’t bent on saving a lost cause and are instead focused on real tangible solutions. There’s no use keeping this old jalopy afloat, there are much better – new – ways to do things.

libra – What ways have you been communicating up til now? Have they been working for you? If not then this will be highlighted this month and you will need to find a way to put an end to confusion and find a new way to speak your mind and ideas. Ideals first, personality second is the best rule if you want others to agree.

scorpio – Something ends for you early this month – signaled by the Scorpio Full Moon. What are you going to replace it with? Now more than ever your talent for transmutation, renovation and rehabilitation is in high demand, the only problem is figuring out what to do first. It’s best to just get started, people need you!

sagittarius – Words, words, words, those pesky emissaries of ideas. ‘Poets, priests and politicians have words to thank…’ sings Sting. But they are woefully inadequate for the task at hand, and you must find another way to get your message across. Nothing less than the death of a defunct Philosophy is at stake.

capricorn – “Little did he/she know…” is the crux of the matter now. There are things that you do not know about the current changes and transmogrification-taking place around you that will have a profound impact on what things will become. Right now, you get to be part of the secret magic of the unknown. Revel in its mystery.

aquarius – “I see,” said the blind man. When is it good to be the fool? When nothing less than blind trust in the universe is required for your ultimate mission. And now is such a time, because trying to figure out that, which you do not yet understand, would be like a blind man describing the color pink.

pisces – Let’s hear it for the unexpected! Fishes might as well embrace it this month, since you will have a healthy dose of it all month long, no matter how you try to safeguard against it. At least fishes know how to swim and can make good use of an unexpected downpour. Keep your swimming goggles handy.

April Horoscope – Wow!

I rarely get to say how absolutely great the Astrology is for any given month – but for the month of April I do!

Great new beginnings are possible now. For this reason I am offering a one hour Astrology Planning session to all my readers and clients for the special rate of $100, which is a huge discount from my regular Astrology sessions ($215 – soon to go up to $250). But since I want everyone to have the chance to take advantage of the blessings of April I am offering this to you now until March 31st. Just call my office at (310) 455-2210 to set up your appointment or email auracle*astrologychick.com (replace * with @).

General forcast for April: This is a month of AMAZING opportunity and blessings, and many people will see cherished dreams come true at this time – after a brief glitch in the beginning of the month. This Month New and Full Moon Cycles speak to endings of partnerships or relationships that have passed their prime. Some may even find themselves finishing relationships or conflict karma with someone who was once a friend but became an open enemy. But remember every ending ushers in a new beginning, and this month it is one of independence, life force, freedom and warrior/warrior princess strength and passion. WooHooo!Feel the life force running through those veins and do something to challenge you and remind you why life is worth living.

April begins with a thorny (but fortunately short-lived) T-square between Venus and the Saturn – Neptune Opposition. This is hard on finances and makes problems acute. But then it’s over, and April brings us a HUGE amount of new blessings. Right around the 1st Mercury finally makes good on the promises he was making 6 weeks ago (and you thought the little trickster was just lying). But it may be a case of too little too late and you might not even be interested any more.

But, by mid to late April we all have big opportunities to work out any lingering problems and make some REAL and significant headway on our dreams. Powerful alignments support progress, growth and new, well-organized systems for getting things done. At least one super talented individual will emerge at this time. Not only that, but particularly long-term and effective solutions or plans can be brought into reality at this time. There is an extraordinary amount of power available this month. This is absolutely the best month I have seen in yearsso make the most of it!!

*Please note, I am not saying that nothing bad can happen in the word right now, I am talking about the opportunity to use the Stars for Electional Astrology (making things happen) that is so good at the moment.

Aries – It’s all about getting a fresh start this month, especially after the 17th. Even if this new beginning means you had to give something up that you were attached to, you will soon feel a sense of freedom and excitement from this fresh spring energy that is flowing through your veins. It all boils down to love and family and what that means to you. Now is the time to align your actions with your desires so that you can have what you want AND what you need.

Taurus – While Venus is at home with you this month; whatever you most desire is irresistibly drawn directly to you. Some call it “The Secret,” I call it the Venus principle and you have always known about it. But now, mighty Venus herself smiles upon you and gives you the power to work your wiles in ways that are irresistible – bringing you a deeply cherished goal, dream or desire.

Gemini – Your Mercury hero is successfully swatting at flies this month. And while his success and vigilance is admirable, perhaps rethinking your strategy would be more useful. While so much opportunity is available to you – not to mention the ability to sway and influence people – perhaps Mercury could be put to better use. Resolve this month to focus on goals and not on problems – be they real or imagined.

Cancer – For the first half of the month you want to resolve and clear up any endings you have with past partners or relationships that are over. Tying up those loose ends gives you the freedom around the 17th to take full advantage of the new opportunity that begins. This could either signal a new cycle that opens in your career or one that may dramatically shift your worldly status in some way; i.e.: marriage, promotion, new job title. Either way, there could be some major changes underway for you this spring.

Leo – Your long-term outlook looks the best it has for months, finally! Early in the month you might feel yourself teetering between to vastly opposing forces and trying to make something worthwhile out of it. Overall, you have great powers of transformation at your disposal this month, especially until the 19th while the Sun is still hanging out with your pal the Ram in action oriented Aries.

Virgo – Someone has a real way with words this month. The poetry sliding from their lips is enough to make anyone swoon, and even my levelheaded Virgin friends are not immune. It’s ok to enjoy the fantasy, just as long as you can remember that it IS a fantasy. Meanwhile, your goals and dreams are much better served if you can put that heavy dose of magical charm to work in your own sales pitches, business meetings and personal agendas.

Libra – Opportunity abounds. There are giant chances now for you to express your values and make them clear and have them be heard and acted upon, so don’t waste the day. The only problems could arise if you are unclear about exactly what those values ARE, or if somehow your actions are not consistent with those values. Remember the sage words,’ above all else, to thine own self be true.’

Scorpio – There’s something of an inner tug-of-war taking place now, and the sooner you can resolve it the sooner you can go out and grab the brass ring that seems to be hanging just beyond your reach. It’s all there, so close you can almost taste it, but there’s something holding you back, standing in your way and causing you to question weather you should go for it. Remember, the losing team never writes History.

Sagittarius – You seem to have dodged a bullet and made it out of harms way. Not only that but if you are clever this month, you can find a way to make your problems actually work FOR you. In fact you may have to, so don’t be shy. What seems to be resolved now may return in early May, so this is the ideal time to prepare and set your strategy.

Capricorn – A shared identity or career is now changing in some way. Perhaps now is the time for you to listen to your inner emotional urgings and get what you really want. The time is over for standing in someone else’s shadow, it is now the day for you to speak your own mind, lead from the heart and above all, clearly state what you want and need. You may be surprised at just how easily (and quickly) you get it.

Aquarius – You seem to know that you need to gain attention and recognition for what you are doing, and I agree. Right now there are some opportunities for you to do this, but I recommend more short-term deals for now. Be extra careful that whomever you get involved with (personally or professionally) doesn’t have an undue amount of power or control over your actions and plans, or you may regret it later.

Pisces – If anyone can make headway on long-term plans this month, it’s you. You have quite a head for business now, and meetings should go well, especially since you are such a tough negotiator. Everybody always says you are flighty, but you and I know that’s just a tactic for distracting others and getting what you want – you clever fishes!

This weeks Horoscope March 23-29

This weeks Horoscope March 23-29: I can see it now, the friends commiserating behind closed doors about how unreasonable the boss is and how he’s finally lost his (or her) mind. And this might be pretty close to the truth right now. There should still be some fallout from last weeks Eclipse, and while Saturn tangles with Pluto someone is playing hardass extrordinaire. Fortunately the weekend comes along to give you some relief. As next week kicks into gear, someone feels the need to stand up for what’s right – or against bullying – which may or may not backfire. At the very least this situtuation could serve to point out weakesses and problems in any situation and lead you to seek a better solution or answer soon – very soon. Of course the other possible scenario is that of extreme tempation. Either way, this is the chance to observe areas of weakness and correct them.

March Horoscope

March 2007Welcome to Chakra Astrology. This look reflects the wisdom of the ancients. Each sign is ruled by one of the 7 planets (stars) that can be seen in the sky with our eyes. From the top down, they are: Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. These 7 planets equate with the 7 Chakras, which is reflected by the colors below. Each sign is color coded to match the Chakra it corresponds with.General forcast for March:
The first few days of March are great for family, and financial planning. Charisma and charm are working for those soul families who keep the ties close and strong, and it leads to blessings and even positive publicity right now. For the first half of the month you may see many people trying to make oil and water work together, and some options might seem to work for a while. This is hopeful when getting opposing teams to work together, but remember that nothing can force them to blend forever, no matter how much we try. So keep the nature of what is and isn’t truly possible in mind when joining forces with others. You can save yourself later disappointment this way.

March is Eclipse Month. 2007 Eclipse patterns put the focus on health and well being (Virgo) and it’s opposing counter point, spiritual balance and right relationship with Spirit (Pisces). The Full Moon on March 3/4 is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (13′) indicating intense emotional release of some sort, as well as the revelation of something that has been kept secret. The New Moon on March 19 is a Solar Eclipse in Pisces (28′) indicating something suddenly being removed which leads to a new beginning.

March Eclipses: Half of this Year’s annual Eclipse pattern takes place in March. This year’s Eclipse Theme is all about health, spirituality, service industries, employee rights and issues of religion and music, among other things. March 3/4 there is a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, which may reveal hidden agendas surrounding those industries that are meant to be of service to us as a population. Also be aware of your pets, health, daily routines and any employees you may have – unexpected surprises are likely in these areas between Feb. and April. The Solar Eclipse on March 19 can take things or people away from us – especially public figures in the arenas of religion, spirituality, and music. This Eclipse theme speaks to spiritual awakenings and deepening of personal and spiritual service to our world and our community. The Academy Award nod for the Al Gore movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” is a perfect example.Get your free Chakra Astrology Teleclass series at: AstrologyChick.com Right Now!

SAGITTARIUS (11/23-12/22) – Take a lesson from Britney and don’t let emotions get the best of you this month. With the Eclipses on your angles (and hers), emotional outbursts are not a good idea, but very tempting. Rebellion against authority figures will only cause you problems, and if you hold on long enough, you’ll be surprised at the opportunity that emerges out of this chaos.
PISCES (2/21-3/20) – A complete transformation of your partnerships and alliances is scheduled now for you. This will be easier for those who have a level head and are able to keep emotional balance – a very difficult proposition now, but I know you can do it. Fear is the enemy, not people. The times may be changing, but I know you can roll with it gracefully and graciously, the presence of Venus in Pisces is a big help.
CANCER (6/23-7/22) – If you talk about health and habits, it isn’t the same thing as actually doing it. Now is the time to put your heart where your words are and take action. You may feel called, or even compelled to teach or communicate with others on a much larger level, through some new group or educational affiliation. LIBRA (9/23-10/22) Oh dear, things really do feel off kilter now in your kingdom. Strange or unexplainable health issues are just as much a spiritual or energetic issue as they are physical. Entering into a deep relationship with the mystery of life is the only way to solve the unexplained.
TAURUS (4/21-5/21) The Eclipses could reveal an opportunity for you, particularly one that causes you to become fruitful in some way, be it creatively or physically. Your social standing could also change and your status among your peers might suddenly be elevated or singled out for attention. This isis totally unexpected but opens up a huge opportunity for you. VIRGO (8/23-9/22) If you feel emotional and in need of expressing your deep inner self right now then pay attention; this is deep stuff. Everything about your ever day life and routines is in question now, and only you can decide where your priorities lie. Partnerships are also in flux, so don’t count on someone else to make things clear for you now.
GEMINI (5/22-6/22) These changes effect your angles which can shake you on a very deep level. You might be in the middle of some very intense changes; of residence, of career and even perhaps a few changes of heart and costume. Don’t expect things to flow smoothly now, this is a part of you souls unfolding that won’t be nice and neat, all you can do is roll with it and give it time. LEO (7/23-8/22) – It’s all about Money for you right now. Your attention is on both your own money and that of other people – and how you can make use of it. You must either be resourceful now, or feel some intense pressure; maybe both. You can pull something amazing off though if you just focus your intention and make sure not to get in your own way.
ARIES (3/21-4/20) For you the Eclipse pattern takes place in the arena that could give you dreams that are more intense than usual or even somewhat predictive. You may also be feeling a strong desire to clean up your health and eating habits – that’s a great idea and now is just the time to do it – especially if it includes an intestinal cleanse. SCORPIO (10/23-11/22) An offspring suddenly appears or has new life *this can just as easily refer to a creative project as anything else.* Social details are more thorny than expected, so be really careful to mind your manners in public; people are easily offended or likely to misunderstand your gestures. But you have a way of making use of all obstacles, and this is no different.
AQUARIUS (1/22-2/20) How can you be of service to the most people possible? Answering that question thoroughly could very well unlock the mystery of how you are to make your fortune. By serving and making alliances with others of service you will find freedom, peace and fulfillment. The opportunity knocks, but will you be at home? CAPRICORN (12/23-1/21) A spiritual message is on it’s way to you, but only you have the magic decoder ring to unlock it’s meaning. In order to do so, you must delve into your own unconscious and interpret the signals it’s sending. Oh, and you might like to do a little redecorating while you are in there, make it a fun cozy place to be.

This Weeks Whole Person Horoscope


this week Jan 19-25:
The week begins with a Capricorn New Moon which asks us to spend the next 2 weeks building and imagining new structures and rules to live by. This can be anything from starting a new exercise program to setting a new work schedule for ourselves or creating steps and plans towards the achievement of a goal or ambition. We also transition out of Capricorn and into Aquarius which shifts the mood away from rules and order and towards our greater society, the groups and ‘clan’ that we belong to. Emphasis is still on the rules, but now we are all more concerned with the rules of society, fitting in with peers and the greater good than with individual work or achievement.

This Weeks Whole Person Horoscope


this week Jan 12-18:
Harsh words over the weekend could hurt someone’s reputation, try not to participate. It’s a good week for fashion and design though, and creativity is in high gear and adds to charisma and personal appeal. Attention and publicity is a very mixed bag now, some exposure is better than others, and what makes headlines might not actually be the full story, so don’t take things on face value, dig a little deeper for the truth.

Announcing Weekly Horoscope Newsletter

Hi, we are pleased to announce the first Weekly edition of the Whole Person Astrology Newsletter. – Share this Newsletter with Friends who also love Astrology. Below is an excerpt from the First Newsletter…

1st chakra We are in the Sign of Capricorn which is governed by Saturn and the 1st Chakra. I call this the Red Ray: During this time we are all more concerned with rules, obligations, ambition work and achievement. We are also focused on family, community and getting our basic needs met. The upside of the Red Ray is discipline and creating ways to serve our community. The downside can be rigidity and disconnection from heart and feelings.

this week Jan 4-11:
When Mercury joins the Sun – as he does for most of the next week, it is always good for stretching our minds and learning something new. The combination in Capricorn will give us tangible plans for success and guide us all in scaling any mountain top that stands between us and our dreams. Focus is on goals, setting them, taking steady steps towards them and ultimately making it happen. Nothing makes Capricorn sigh a deeper sigh of relief than being able to say, “Aaaaah, I”ve finally gotten here.” Then they relax just long enough to spy the next peak they want to hurdle. So this week, that is what we are all thinking about; Goals and how to achieve them.
