It's In The Stars

Full Moon in Aquarius - I Know, I Know -- Then Again, Who Knows?

2010-07-22T20:07:00Z

This Sunday, the Sun will be in the sign of Leo, the Lion, whose statement in Astrology is "I WILL"

Leo is a Fixed Fire Sign.



The Moon will be in the Opposite sign of Aquarius, whose statement in Astrology is "I KNOW."



Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, although many people think it is a Water Sign because it is called the "Water Bearer."

Actually, he is pouring knowledge into the ethers.

The sign of Aquarius is related to brilliant flashes of inspiration, electronics, electricity, computers, the Internet, Utopian societies and groups of people, and even Astrology!

In the Body, Aquarius is connected with the Ankles and the our own Electrical System, the Nerves.   Take time to BE in quiet places to calm your energy down these days.

Leo is related to Leadership, as well as Children, Theatre, Romance and Risk Taking. In the Body, Leo is connected to the Heart and the Lower Back. So, be careful of how much you are carrying, both on your back and on your heart!

With this Full Moon, we have also have two opposing voices - Leo, the Lion, and the King of the Beasts, likes to say, "I'm In Charge!"

Then, Aquarius, the Rebel, who is concerned with the Brotherhood of Man, likes to say "Nobody's in Charge, But I say so!"

Aquarius likes to be with groups of people like "hanging out with your peeps at the local watering hole."

When we look at the bigger picture, the higher perspective, from the Stars, where Astrology dwells,
This Full Moon will be the balance between what I Will (Leo) and what I Know (Aquarius).

Hence the title of this blog - "I know, I know, - Then again, who knows?"

This Full Moon will also be about "What is My Will Versus God's Will?"

This Full Moon in July is also considered the Perfect Moon,
and in India, they dedicate it to the Guru. They call it "The Guru's Moon" or "Guru Purnima".

The Guru is any being or energy that awakens us to our own Enlightened STATE of BEING.



The Syllable "Gu" comes from the Sankrit word "Gunas" which means "Sheaths (Veils) of Darkness."

The Syllable "Ru" comes from the Sankrit word "Rupam" which means "Light."

So, a GU-RU is anyone who takes us from the Darkness of Ignorance and reveals the Light of Consciousness.

Pretty Cool, Huh?

So, this weekend, and for the next two weeks up to the New Moon in Leo, take lots of rest, Meditate, and just BE with your own beautiful inner Self, Higher Power, God.

Meditate

Or Walk a Labyrinth

Also, If you want some comfort, go to my You Tube page and check out some of the videos
I have there on special Gurus of the last century.



Beloved Female Saint, Anandamayi Ma,                                                    Anandamayi Ma with Yogananda Paramahamsa, who wrote
who left her body in 1982, the same year as my Baba.                           "Autobiography of a Yogi" and helped bring Yoga to the West.

All great beings have taught that "God is Within."

So, therefore, during this Guru Purnima, Honor your own inner Guru!

More will be revealed!

New Moon In Cancer - O Mother, We Love You!

2010-07-08T10:36:00Z

So, Here we are again! A New Moon! I usually write this piece before the New Moon, but this one was special.

This New Moon coincided with a SOLAR ECLIPSE.

Isn't it interesting that The Twilight Series released their third movie, called "Eclipse," between the Lunar Eclipse two weeks ago and the Solar Eclipse this week?   Could it be that someone else is paying attention to God's Timing?



Solar Eclipse showing the Sun's Corona

A Solar Eclipse must have been terrifying to watch by the ancient people!

The Sun was their God, and it probably looked like God was being killed by some mysterious force.

Well, that force turned out to be the Moon.

In Astrology, the Sun represents our Inner Spiritual Essence.

Sun Disappearing during the Solar Eclipse

The MOON represents our Emotional Body.

So when the MOON comes between the Earth and the SUN, we human beings are likely to be driven by, overwhelmed by, and focused on our emotions, rather than focus on God.

Here is a diagram showing how an eclipse takes place.

The Top Diagram is a Solar Eclpise. The Bottom Diagram is a Lunar Eclipse.

Astrologically, a New Moon is when the SUN

And the MOON

are in the SAME SIGN - so, right now the Sun is in the sign of Cancer

Hence, this New Moon will be about creating new things related to the sign of Cancer.

During the next two weeks, the focus will be on Mother Earth, Birth Mothers, Motherhood, Nurturing, Self Care, Emotions, Family, Home, Security Blankets, Homeland, Boundaries, Safe Havens, Nourishment, and Connecting with the Past, just to name a few.

During the Eclipse, I went to see a movie called The Last Airbender.   (click on the link to see the trailer!)

It was about a child who is an Avatar, an evolved being capable of controlling and bending all the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. In the movie, I loved that the Water Tribe must use the Moon Spirit, and their emotions, to control water. I wondered if the writer knew that Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, and connected with the emotions!

Mostly, Cancer relates to all things concerned with MOTHER. Hence the title of this blog, "O Mother, We Love You!"

This is the perfect time to connect with Mother Earth, to send her our blessings, and love.

So, once again we say, "THANK YOU, DEAR SWEET MOTHER EARTH."    .

                    Love Your Mother the Earth

Cancer is also related to CLEAR WATER - . Please send many thoughts of Clear, Clean Water to the Gulf of Mexico.

Here is one of my favorite waterfalls in Tennessee near Center Hill Lake.

Full Moon in Capricorn - Whoa There, Big Daddy!

2010-06-25T10:36:00Z

So here we are again - Another Full Moon!

On Saturday June 26, around 5:30 AM EDT, we will have a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse. Always a fantastic combination.

BUT THIS ONE ought to be a doozy!

Photo by Chad Trellin - Total Lunar Eclipse in Bozeman MT

Remember that during a Lunar Eclipse, the Earth (that includes us humans) is between the Sun and Moon, causing a shadow on the Moon (Our Emotions).   So we may be more in our heads than relying on our gut level instincts - Symbolic, eh?

This Full Moon is in the sign of Capricorn.

Capricorn represents the Divine Father, the disciplinarian, the boss, and rules governments, corporations and the military.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

The Divine Father

Now, whenever we have a Full Moon, it is in the sign OPPOSITE of where the Sun is.

The Sun is currently in the sign of Cancer.

Cancer represents the Divine Mother, home, nourishment, our emotions, and is connected in the body with the stomach and the breasts   Cancer is Ruled by the Moon.

Divine Mother Picture Shared from Google Images by Chris Burnett, Psychic - Thanks, Chris!

So this Full Moon is falling on what we call the Father / Mother Axis.

All Full Moons are big, dramatic and intense -- just ask any policeman or someone who works in an Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center (like me) and you can see how people's emotions get REALLY BIG!

And, since the South Node (which acts like a Bottomless Pit) is in Cancer - things could get VERY EMOTIONAL for alot of people, and yet that darned ECLIPSE is blocking those emotions - hence, a pressure cooker effect.

Oh, yeah, and Pluto? (You know, the God of Death and Transformation?) is in the sign of Capricorn, so this could mean big events for Governments, Corporations and the Military.  Oh, wait a minute - that already DID happen this week!

So, did you know that General Stanley McChrystal (born August 14, 1954) is a LEO?
And that President Barack Obama (born August 4, 1961) is also a LEO?

Well, you certainly can't have two LEOS in charge.   The President made that clear.
But, when General McChrystal stepped down this week, I had visions of the movie "Seven Days In May." Heck, General McChrystal even LOOKS a little like Burt Lancaster! Check it out on www.IMDB.com  Seven Days in May And, thanks to my wonderful Astrologer friend, Dr Loretta Standley for sharing General McChrystal's chart with me!

So, this struggle between two powerful people is an example of the intensity happening between Pluto in Capricorn (Governments and Military) and Uranus in Aries (the God of War) right now.   There is definitely some kind of drama building up on the world stage.
("I Build" is Capricorn's Statement)

And Capricorn rules Time, so if you feel impatient, or overwhelmed or tired, take it easy!

And on a happier note. Cancer and Capricorn happen to be The Clown (Cancer) and the Dry Witted Comedian (Capricorn).

Many Comedians receive their inspiration from their emotions and their relationships with their parents and the past, especially the home (Cancer).

So, when things get REALLY intense, Just Remain Calm, Breathe, Take a Hot Bath, Forgive Your Parents, Forgive Yourself, and remember to laugh at the irony of life!

Photo of me laughing!

Remember - There are NO BIG DEALS. It's all part of the evolution of humanity.

And More Will Be Revealed.

Happy Summer Solstice! June 21, 2010

2010-06-17T08:06:00Z

So Here we are again -- Coming up on the Summer Solstice - Solstice means "Sun Standing Still".

Once Again, as it does every year, the Sun teeters in a seesaw between two signs, Gemini and Cancer.

Gemini is an Air sign and Cancer is a Water Sign.
Air is Light, Water is Emotional.
This is a time of balance between the Light and Dark,
The Masculine and The Feminine,
The Yang and Yin energy,

This will also be the longest day of the year and the shortest night.

It is also when Summer officially begins, and the days start getting shorter, heading towards the Winter Solstice.

Summer Solstice astrologically refers to the Sun entering 0 Degrees of Cancer, which is the 4th House of the Natural Zodiac.

Cancer relates to the Home, Nurturing, Self Care, The Past, Security, Food, The Stomach, and The Breasts.
It is the place of the Divine Mother.   And like our mother, she wants to protect us.   And we in turn have to protect our Earth Mother.

Cancer also relates to CLEAR WATER, LAKES, RIVERS, STREAMS, SWIMMING POOLS.

Center Hill Lake in Tennessee

Please Continue to Send Clear Water Messages to the Gulf of Mexico as per Professor Mamoto.

Pouring Clear Blessed Water into Percy Priest Lake

Also, this Summer Solstice will be powerful because Sun in Cancer will be closing in on South Node in Cancer, which feels like a bottomless pit. It seems like no matter how much energy we put in, it feels like it is going down the drain. This will last about 2 weeks.

Then, this Sun in Cancer will be also be SQUARE (as in 90 Degrees of Tension) to Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, and OPPOSING (180 Degrees like a Rubber Band) Pluto in Capricorn. This will also last about 2 weeks.

Suffice it to say this next week will be a very tense time, but the open Leg of this T Square, which prevents it from being a big old GRAND CROSS, or a BOX, is the sign of Libra, which means the solution to this tension in the Stars will be in the collective WE consciousness.

So hold on to your partners, lovers, friends, relationships, and break away from trying to do everything alone.   In the 12 Step Programs, it says, "Together we can do what we can never do alone."

Also, the Bible states "Whereever two or more are gathered, there I AM in the midst of you."

So, try to get along, even with the ones you normally don't get along with.

Baby Tiger with Baby Orangutan

Also, remember that The United States was born on July 4, 1776, and is therefore a Cancer Nation by birth.

Notice how we want to save the world, mother everyone, and yet protect our borders? That's Cancer for ya!

So, God Bless America and the Rest of the World!

Jupiter, the Great Preserver

2010-06-09T10:09:00Z

So here we all are in our happy little Solar System.

But what makes it even happier is that we have a Giant Planet named Jupiter,
that serves as a shield, a protector and preserver of the Earth.

Without Jupiter, the Earth would be bombarded with larger objects, like comets!

Remember in 1994, when the Comet Shoemaker Levi hit Jupiter, and there was a visible plume and several large holes in the Jovian atmosphere?

Well, that was when Pluto went into the sign of Sagittarius, which Jupiter Rules. It was as if Pluto, the God of Death and Transformation, was being a bully and shooting its arrows straight at the one who is known in ancient Mythology as "The God of the Gods".

Now, since Jupiter and Sagittarius both have to do with Religion, many transformations took place in the world's religions during that period from 1994 - 2008, when Pluto went into Capricorn. There were great upheavals in the Catholic Faith, as well as Islam, and Judaism.

Sagittarius - The Archer who is Half Man Half Horse - always Seeking Higher Knowledge!

Jupiter, the Expansive Planet who protects us from wandering comets!

Last week, I wrote that when Jupiter went into Aries (a Fire Sign) and joined up with Uranus in Aries, it would be an explosive combination!

Well, thank you to my friend Deb Moore, who sent me this link talking about how Jupiter got hit AGAIN by a comet.

As I told her, I wish those big boys who are hanging out in the outer planetary "hood" would stop throwing stones at each other!

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-science/20100607/US.SCI.Jupiter.Hit/?cid=hero_side1

But, as we all know, History Repeats Itself.

See how connected we are with the planets?

"Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto, Oh, My!" - Tearing At the Fabric of Our Reality

2010-06-04T09:40:00Z

Aries is a Cardinal Fire Sign related to the Rising Sign of the Zodiac, the "I Am" Consciousness, New Beginnings, The First Day of Spring.   It relates to Instinctual impulse, the spark of life.

The Longitudinal Line of 0 degrees Aries goes through Greenwich, England.   (Make a mental note:  BP = BRITISH PETROLEUM - might I be making an astro connection to the Oil Spill?)

The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781 and is associated with Independence, Rebellion, and Freedom.  It is also associated with lightning, electricity, shock, and storms,    It travels 84 years around the sun and was the first planet discovered that is invisible to the naked eye.

So, when Uranus moves through a sign, it generally takes 7 years. The last time Uranus went into Aries was around 1927, and probably influenced the Wall Street Crash as well as World War II. Last week, Uranus just went into the sign of Aries.

Uranus is also considered the Higher Octave of Mercury, (which is the planet related to the lower, conscious mind). So, Uranus brings quick flashes of inspiration and higher insight.  For the next 7 years, we will see new technologies, new ideas, new ways of thinking charging into our global consciousness like a little ram!

This weekend, Jupiter is also going into the sign of Aries, but only for 1 year. Because Jupiter is the Expansive planet, and usually relates to things that are "BIG", it could be an explosive combination next to Uranus in Aries!

Now, Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth Sign related to the Status Quo, Reality, the Limits of Physical Time, the Aging Process, our Physical Body, Skin, Bones, Teeth, as well as the Physical Earth, Mountains, Boundaries. It's statement is "I Build" and it is related to Buildings, Corporations, Governments and Borders.    Thus, sometimes we think of Capricorn as the nature of REALITY, the order of life.

The Longitudinal Line of Capricorn goes through Washington, DC.   (Make a mental note:  US GOVERNMENT - might I be making an astro connection to the Breakdown in Government?)

Pluto, the planet of Death and Transformation, takes about 240 years to go around the sun. It stays in a sign for 14 years to 20 years. It went into the sign of Capricorn in 2008 and will remain there until 2023. The last time it was in the sign of Capricorn was in the 1770's, and probably influenced the French and American Revolutions.

And, since Pluto went into Capricorn this time in 2008, we have seen a breakdown in Corporations, Banks, Governments, and even physical earth plane shake ups such as the recent earthquakes. As Pluto travels through Capricorn, our Borders and Boundaries will be challenged, internally and externally. Sleep will also be affected.

And, as the Title of this Blog says, with Uranus and Jupiter in Aries causing a TENSE SQUARE to Pluto in Capricorn, our sense of "reality" will be challenged. Our experience of Time will be changed. Perhaps Time Travel or Deeper Space Travel will be accomplished.

I myself have been contemplating how "Reality" is really relative.

I work overnights in an alcohol and drug treatment center, so my "Reality" of being awake at night time is opposite of many others who are asleep. Then, of course, I sleep during the day, while most people are awake.

The patients have shown me that those who are coming off of drugs and alcohol experience a different reality than those who are sober.

The same goes for those who have psychological problems - they live in a different reality.

A person who has Alzheimer's, or a brain injury, experiences different realities than someone who does not.

When you go to sleep, or meditate deeply, or become totally engrossed in a good movie or a good book, you turn off "the reality of the world" and enter your own reality.

And even the movies we watch nowadays are filmed against computer graphics and Green Screens, like "Avatar", and they are not even showing us an image of reality. They are complete fantasy worlds.

The subatomic reality is different from the Cosmic Galactic reality.

Hey - even while you are reading this, you are sitting in a different place and time, a different reality than when and where I wrote it!

So, what is "REAL"?  It is definitely something to think about.

We are all living in parallel, and separate, yet shared, co-existing universes.

The ultimate symbol for a break from Reality would be the Resurrection, wouldn't you say?

The Triumph of Life over Death. Light over Dark, Joy over Suffering.

The Resurrection of Christ by Michelangelo

Or, we can overcome suffering like the Buddha by becoming enlightened - not being burdened by the suffering of the mind

So, Stop Freaking Out! - Sign seen on Murphy Road in Nashville, TN

As I keep saying to myself, "it's not real, it's not real, it's not real."

I believe everything that is happening outside is to push us deeper inside, to a deeper, more permanent reality with God.

Full Moon In Sagittarius - I Seek To Know Who I Am

2010-05-28T07:45:00Z

This week's full moon is in the sign of Sagittarius. which is the Astrological Sign associated with the phrase "I Seek."

I believe we are all seekers. We are all evolving souls seeking to know who we truly are.

Astrology is one of the tools by which we can understand ourselves and the world around us.

Remember: As Above, So Below!

So what has been happening lately in the stars?

We have just come out of a horrendous Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury is the planet of communication and travel and Retrograde is when Mercury appears to be going backwards.

This was in full swing when the Gulf Oil Spill began, The Volcanic Ash affected travel in Europe, and
floods and tornadoes hit Central USA, including my home town of Nashville, TN!

Downtown Nashville - Flood of May 2010

Songwriter on his balcony overlooking the Flood

This Mercury Retrograde was aggravated by Pluto (the Planet of Destruction and Transformation) going through the sign of Capricorn (relating to Structures, land masses, and Governments)   So Pluto continued it's journey this year by breaking up the earth plane in the form of earthquakes in Haiti and Chile).

Mercury - The Messenger of the Gods

Combined with these two, we also had Saturn (the planet related to Limitations and Restriction) Regtrograde (backwards) in Virgo (the Earth sign of order and service) opposing Uranus (the Planet of Storms and Sudden Changes) in the sign of Pisces (the Water Sign related to Floods, Oceans and Charities.)

I know this all sounds like a mouthful, but what it adds up to is a lot of chaos and disasters, which brought out the very best charitable nature in people!   Yes, the Red Cross Volunteers were out in force.

I am so glad to live in Tennessee - "The Volunteer State"!

Red Cross Volunteers helping to clean up the aftermath of the Flood

And now we have the FULL MOON!

So, are you feeling flooded with emotions, thoughts, ideas these days?

Are you overwhelmed by the flood of information coming at you from your Facebook, TV, Blackberry or I-phone?

Welcome to Kali Yuga! It has been said that In Kali Yuga, the Age of Darkness, which we are in now, chanting is one of most powerful ways to free the soul.

Whether you chant "Row, Row, Row Your Boat Gently Down the Stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life Is But A Dream" or "Kali Durge Namo Namah" Or "Om Namah Shivaya" --- chanting has a way of soothing the mind.

I strongly recommend spiritual music and chanting for calming your mind these days.   One of my favorite chanting performers is Jai Uttal, and one of my favorite CDs that he is featured on is "The Spirit of Yoga". Yoga means "Union" and it certainly joins the mind, the heart and the soul.   It was produced by Ben Leinbach and is on his website.

http://www.oldbullmusic.com/musicshop/cds.php

Also, a friend of mine in Nashville, Amy Barnes, who leads regular Kirtan (chanting) sessions, just recently finished her own album
called "Nandini - Daughter of Bliss" with Jai Uttal's producer Ben Leinbach.   Check it out on her website.

http://amybarnesyoga.com/

And don't forget to send your love and blessing to all the waters of the Earth!

\

So, the Full Moon In Sagittarius asks "What are you seeking in your life? Are you focused outside or inside?"

Keep chanting!

Happy Winter Solstice and Mercury Retrograde!

2009-12-24T11:22:00Z

Greetings, my beloveds!

This week beheld a significant annual event - the Winter Solstice!

Solstice means "Sun Standing Still" ----

On December 21st, we had the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

The ancients actually thought the Sun died at this time.

Then, as shadows grew longer every day, they celebrated the return of the Light. This influenced the Early Christians to choose this time of year to celebrate the Birth of their God, Jesus Christ, who was considered the "Light of the World." Merry Christmas!

In Newgrange Ireland - the Sun ONLY shines inside this cave during the Winter Solstice! Go Visit the Cave!
http://www.knowth.com/newgrange.htm

But what actually causes this phenomenon called the Solstice? The Sun enters the Sign of Capricorn, and hits the Tropic of Capricorn on the Earth.

Capricorn is an Earth Sign, a Feminine Sign, and Cardinal Sign and is represented by Half Goat / Half Fish.
It's statement is "I Build" and is related to carpentry, business, and destiny.

Jesus was a Carpenter and used the words "On this Rock, I will Build My Church."

Also, this week, we begin the "Mercury Storm"-- the Time just before the three week Mercury Retrograde!

Mercury is called the Messenger of the Gods, and relates to Communication, Short Trips, Cars, Computers, Cell Phones, and other electronic devices. The current snow storms could be attributed to Mercury Retrograde! Please don't sign any contracts during the next 4 weeks!

Mercury relates to the Ears (in Virgo) and the Eyes (in Gemini) and Mercury is also the Jester, so be careful with what you hear in the next few weeks!

Mercury will also be in the sign of Capricorn.

So, along with the Sun and Pluto in Capricorn, this could bring serious disruptions in all things related to Capricorn -- that is, Authority, Governments, Countries, Military, Banks, Etc.

Some people don't believe in Astrology, but I believe "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" as the graphic below shows.

So, Keep your Eyes on the Skies!

Have a Happy and Sacred Solstice, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzah and New Year!~

Full Moon In Gemini - Tell Your Story!

2009-12-03T11:19:00Z

Wow - My last blog was almost a year ago!   Yikes! And it was a full moon just before a Mercury Retrograde then, too!

Since then, I have been living in a cabin in the wilderness of Tennessee, without access to TV, Internet, or land phone - just my cell phone, so it was difficult to maintain this blog.     I hope to do one more often after this - at least every full moon!

If you want to keep up with the planets yourself, just purchase the 2010 Daily Planetary Guide from Amazon.com.

click here to buy one

As I have discussed before, you can find everything in this calendar - it is like a crash course in astrology.

The full moon brings full light to the subject or sign it is falling in each month.

This recent Full Moon (on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 2:30 AM EST), was in the sign of Gemini, the sign of the Twins.

This has to do with Communication, Writing and Friendship.

So, for the next two weeks, coming up the New Moon in Sagittarius, enjoy hanging out with your peeps!

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, who is also connected to the Mind and the Five senses.

And, if your mind is very active these days, chalk it up to Full Moon in Gemini.    Mercury will be going retrograde at the end of this month, so start new businesses, and sign contracts now, NOT during the retrograde.

Be sure to enjoy your time with family and friends and tell your story during the Holidays.

You might even give them an astrology reading as a unique Christmas Gift for $29.

Love and Blessings,

So What's Happening? Not Much - Just Mercury Retrograde and Full Moon in Cancer!

2009-01-13T06:28:00Z

I know, I know - I have not written a blog in quite a while! Yikes.

I apologize - but I started feeling that the discussions all seemed repetitive.

Since planets move in circles, we have planets going through the same signs over and over, and these cycles repeat.

Believe it or not, that is why we have the statement, "History Repeats Itself."

It is the repetition of planets going through their motions again and again. And they do have an effect on us.

As long as we are not using our minds efficiently, and making wise choices, our lives are thrown into chaos upon the cosmic seas.

There are not very new experiences to write about -- after all, when you have written about Full Moons and Mercury Retrogrades over and over again, they start sounding the same.

So, if you are really want to follow the planets and see what is happening right now, you can just review any past Mercury Retrograde Blogs, or read about the Full moon in Cancer from Dec 2007. These events repeat all the time.

Or, the best way to keep up with these events,
and learn more about astrology, is to purchase a Daily Planetary Guide 2009!

TA DA! A Crash Course in Astrology!

***just click on the above photo to go to Amazon from here!

So History repeats itself. And the last time Pluto was in Capricorn was in the late 1700's, when our country was born.

So, the biggest event still going on, in my opinion, which is wreaking havoc on the world stage of economy, government, banks, and corporations, is the movement of Pluto into Capricorn. Yes -- it is now there to stay - until 2023, that is. I have already written extensively on this as well in past blogs.

And, you may be reading all the doom and gloom prophets, and wondering, is the world coming to an end? And I say "Yes" and "No". Just the old world that doesn't work anymore. Just like in 1776.

And Newer Worlds and Revelations, New Inspirations, New Ideas are constantly being born. Sometimes it is just when we are experiencing such depressing times that the greatest inventions and creativity are sparked.

Today, I heard on NPR about a new kind of social worker - called a "Financial Counselor" - who teaches people about how to handle money, how to balance a check book, talk to creditors, and make a spending plan! Sounds like a Credit Counselor or Financial Planner.

What a perfect job for these times. And there are also more "Green Jobs" being created all the time.
Keep saying to yourself "Money Comes to Me From Unexpected Sources."

So, Do not despair. Remember, Mercury Retrograde is a time to Re-view, Re-flect, Re-connect, Re-charge, and Re-invent yourself.

More will be revealed!

Love and Blessings,

Mercury Retrograde Is Over - Finally! and The Full Moon In Aries - The Great "I AM"

2008-10-16T00:25:00Z

Well, I don't know about you, but during the past three weeks, THIS Mercury Retrograde was definitely intense and may go down in history as the most powerful -

Just look at the crash of the Financial Markets - which began crashing the very WEEK that Mercury began it's retrograde!

And some people still think the planets don't have any influence on us?

Mercury actually began it's Retrograde (Backward Motion) on September 24th. And I have been so busy spinning around myself, that I have to use old info from other blogs to get this out.   This is actually the year anniversary of when I started this blog! October 1, 2007.

So, to review - Mercury is related to the Mind - In ancient times, it was called "The Messenger of the Gods."

Mercury is also know as the "Trickster", because the mind likes to play tricks on us.

So, in short, Re-member that Mercury Retrograde is a time that takes place 3x a year, usually for 3 weeks.

I believe it is God's way of saying "Re-view, Re-flect, Re-connect, Re-charge your batteries, Re-Invent Yourself."

Alot of times you will run into or hear from people you have not spoken to for awhile. I actually reconnected with many old friends, and one even from Junior High! Whew!

These Retrogrades are NOT good times for buying a car, or new cell phone, or anything electronic. A friend of mine just told me a horror story of buying a used car during Mercury Retrograde. Lots of Money put out for a complete lemon! She never even got to drive it!

It is not a good time for starting a new business, getting married, or signing a contract!

Also, this past Tuesday, October 14th, we had gorgeous FULL MOON IN ARIES.

Aries statement is "I AM".   Some people think this refers to the EGO (little "i") -

But it actually relates to the Great "I AM" - the Self within all.

Look at this little Ram Jumping for Joy!

SO, are you realizing the beautiful, wonderful, unique soul that you ARE?

During these next two weeks, contemplate this -- and let go of whatever people, places, things, jobs, ideas and beliefs that do not support your unique expression of the Self!

More will always be revealed - especially at election time!

Love and Blessings,

Full Moon In Pisces - Flooded With An Ocean of Emotions

2008-09-13T23:28:00Z

This Monday, September 15th, 2008, at approxmately 3:30 am, the Sun, which is currently in the sign of Virgo,
will be directly opposite the Moon in Pisces, creating a Full Moon.

This particular Full Moon is called the Harvest Moon, and is used by many Indigenous Cultures for Youthing Ceremonies.   My Shaman Teacher, Starr Fuentes, from Hot Springs, Arkansas, is very involved with these ceremonies. You can learn more about them, and her workshops that will be taking place here in Nashville
at the end of September, on her website, www.starrfuentes.com

Right now, the Sun is in Virgo - the sign of the Virgin. Virgos are born late August - through mid-September, and are Earth signs related to Autumn - Apple Picking and Harvest time. It is the only sign in the Zodiac represented by a Woman.

Virgo really likes order and cleanliness, and is very attentive to details of life. She can be meticulous and neat, but can also be overly critical.

Virgo is the sign related to all kinds of Service - which sometimes manifests in professions of Nursing, and Office Work. She really prefers behind the scenes work, rather than being on stage, like Leo!

So the Full Moon in Pisces - Opposite to Virgo - is sometimes called the "Serve Or Suffer" Axis.

It is ironic that Virgo likes order, and yet this Full Moon is bringing so much chaos and suffering with the recent Hurricanes.

As you know, Full Moons happen every month, and the Full Moon in Pisces happens every year at this time, but this Full Moon in Pisces is especially significant, because it is so close to the planet Uranus in Astrological terms.

Pisces is related to the Oceans, and Uranus is the planet related to Chaos.

Get the Picture?

(Hurrican Ike slamming into the Gulf Coast. Photo from API)

When Uranus went into the sign of Pisces a few years ago, it began stirring up the the Ocean (related to Pisces) and caused huge disasters, such as the Tsunamis in India, as well as hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and now Gustav and Ike.

Yes, I know we have had Hurricanes every year, but the increase of Huge Disasters from Oceanic events seems greater since Uranus went into the sign of Pisces.

This Full Moon in the Water sign of Pisces is also causing a Flood of Emotions. (Moon is related to our emotions.)

Pisces is also the sign related to charities and compassion, and our hearts seems to flood open when we see such great suffering around the world.

And you may think storms only happen on earth --- but look at how storms are happening all over the universe -- even in the galaxies!   The photo below is of two galaxies colliding.

Pisces is represented by two fish going in opposite directions. One is swimming upstream, one is swimming downstream.

This is the symbol for Pisces. It looks like two mirrors held together by string. Feels like we are being split in two, perhaps?

With the Full Moon in Pisces, there is a temptation to get lost in addiction, drugs, alcohol and illusion.

But Pisces is also related to Spirituality, Monasteries, Ashrams, and Twelve Step Programs, where people seek the help of a Higher Power, a Power Greater than themselves.

So, the lesson of this Full Moon, is once again - "Go Inside" -
Prayer and Meditation are very important when the outside world seems to be falling apart.

This is a time of great inner transformation.

New Moon In Leo - The Big Cats Rule!

2008-08-02T04:01:00Z

Yikes! I just saw that I have not done a blog since Mercury Retrograde in June!

You guys are probably saying, "Hey, what gives?"

I'm so sorry!

Well, I have been selling my house and building a new business, but I still want to apologize to my readers for taking sooooooooo long.

AND - My house (and my labyrinth) at 311 Tamworth Drive in Nashville, TN  finally sold just before
this New Moon in Leo! See how happy I am?

*****Hey, let's hear a good ol' Southern Yeehaa and Yahoo!*****

As I have said in the past, whenever we are going from an old moon to a new moon,
-- which happens once a month -- this  is a good time for clearing out and letting go.

The particular issues related to this past Full Moon was the Home versus the Career, and emotions versus disciplines, and Mother versus Father.

The Sun was in Cancer (ruling the Home)

and it was opposing the Moon in Capricorn

(ruling Career and Business).

So, Goodbye Home Sweet Home!  Hello My New Life and Career!

I look forward to my new adventures in Burns, TN -- AND, travelling around the country!

My new address will be:

P O Box 311
Burns, TN 37029.......short and sweet!

So, this is a great time of new beginnings!

When the Sun and Moon are together it is called a New Moon, and this is a good time for starting new projects.

So, since this one happens to be in the sign of LEO -- the sign of the Lion.

Happy Birthday to all you Lions out there (myself included)!

Aren't we GORGEOUS creatures!? And today, as I am writing this - The Sun, The Moon, Venus, Mercury AND the South Node are ALL in the sign of Leo!

Leo is ruled by the Sun, and the Sun loves being the center of attention!

Of course, that is it's destiny, because the Sun is the source of light and life on our planet.

But when the Sun, which rules the Heart, is blocked by the Moon, which rules the emotions,
or when we have a SOLAR ECLIPSE - it feels like the Light of the Sun (Our Life Force) is hidden --

People have seemed very overwhelmed by their emotions today.

Leo also relates to the Heart, so this is a good time to get down to the Heart of the Matter - (to quote an old song...)

AND here is my tribute in Photos (Thanks to Microsoft Clip Art!) TO ALL THE LIONS OUT THERE...

Ask youself, what is really important in your life?

Do you like hangin' out with your ol lady?

Do you like hangin' out with your pride?

Do you like going down to the watering hole with your family?

Are you on the hunt for something better?

Or, are you hanging out just looking good? By the way, Great Hair!

Are you ready to take a cat nap?

Are you happy just hangin out with your friends?

?

And are you experiencing peace in your Heart?

If not, I am sending you a LION-HEARTED HUG!

More Will Be Revealed!

Love,

Christina

Round and Round and Round We Go! Mercury Retrograde!

2008-06-14T12:58:00Z

I have been on the road the past two weeks, so I have been unable to write this blog until now -

THE MOST IMPORTANT ASTROLOGICAL EVENT GOING ON RIGHT NOW - TA DA!:

SORRY - NO - YOU CAN'T AVOID IT - YES, IT'S MERCURY RETROGRADE!

Mercury actually began it's Retrograde (Backward Motion) on May 26th and will end on June 19th.

It was followed by the New Moon in Gemini on June 3rd, (which was also my mother's 87th birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!)

Gemini is the Sign of the Twins.

So, THIS Mercury Retrograde has been DOUBLY strong, since Mercury is currently transitting in the Sign of Gemini, which Mercury rules!

Gemini is associated with all things related to Siblings, Friendships, Childhood Education, Short Trips, Cars, Radios, Computers, and just general all round communication! Be careful what you say! And back up your hard drive!

Also, you may have noticed - your Mind cannot stop Thinking, Thinking and Thinking!

Mercury is related to the Mind - The Messenger of the Gods.

Plus, Neptune is also retrograde in Aquarius -

AND, since Gemini is an AIR sign, and Aquarius is an AIR sign,

Have you noticed that there is a lot of AIR being swirled around?

Just look at all the Monsoons, Typhoons, and Tornadoes!

Tornado in Orchard, Iowa

The Globe Gazette and Mitchell County Press News reported that Lori Mehmen of Orchard, Iowa,
took this photo from outside her front door.

Mehmen said the funnel cloud came near the ground and then went back up into the clouds. Besides tree and crop damage, no human injuries were reported. (AP Photo/Lori Mehmen)

***Holy Wizard of Oz!***   -- Mercury must be VERY STRONG in Lori Mehmen's Natal Chart!

MEANWHILE, while some parts of the country are being flooded (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)
or getting lots of rain (Florida) -

Here in Burns (near Nashville, TN), where I am staying in a cabin, the well ran dry!
(Oh, ... Well....! - Sorry, I had to say that.)

Luckily, there are showers nearby at Montgomery Bell State Park!

ALSO, Jupiter, the Cosmic Santa Claus, is retrograde.

So, with Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter all appearing to be going backwards right now, are you feeling a little "Stuck" or that Life has taken a U-turn, especially financially?

Don't Worry - This, Too, Shall Pass.

This is a good time to clear away and release what is not useful in your life.

I myself have had to let go of Comcast Cable, Audible Books, Netflix, the Mayan Healthy Chocolate Business, and other subscriptions to services that no longer served me. I have simplified my life greatly.

You can always review what Mercury Retrogrades are about by reading my previous blogs on them.

Mercury is also know as the "Trickster", because the mind likes to play tricks on us.

So, in short, Re-member that Mercury Retrograde is a time that takes place 3x a year, usually for 3 weeks.

I believe it is God's way of saying "Re-view, Re-flect, Re-connect, Re-charge your batteries, Re-Invent Yourself."   It is NOT a good time for buying a car, or new cell phone, or anything electronic.

It is not a good time for starting a new business, getting married, or signing a contract!

Ooops! Lots of people usually get married in June! Well - This is a good reason for consulting an Astrologer first!

Although Mercury Retrograde ends on June 19th, the effects of it's "Storm" will last until June 28th.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius will be on Wednesday June 18th.

This is when the Sun In Gemini ("I think") opposes the Moon in Sagittarius ("I seek") - so many people will be looking at the meaning of their lives, and whether it adds up to their vision of themselves.

Oh - and not to forget - Happy Father's Day, on Sunday, June 15th!

Keep the faith, baby!

More will be revealed!

Blessings!

Love,

Christina

The Sun In Taurus - To Have and Have Not

2008-05-14T01:58:00Z

Beloved Readers:

I apologize for not having written a blog since the last Full Moon, which was almost 3 weeks ago!

I always try to write a blog for the New Moon and the Full Moon at least, but I missed writing about the New Moon in Taurus - which was on Monday, May 5th - Cinco de Mayo!

The Next Full Moon will be this coming Monday, May 19th, 2008. It is very interesting that it will be another Full Moon in Scorpio - Opposing the last degrees of the Sun in Taurus. This is a Very Rare occurrence.

It is as if God were saying, "Did you get that lesson about I Have (Taurus) and I Desire (Scorpio) - or, in other words, are you Desiring what you Have?" If not, what are you doing about it?

The Full Moon will be at 29 degrees of Scorpio - so it will be in a Void -
which means there may be great Financial Stress in the world that day.

However, since it is taking place at 9:12 pm CST on Monday, May 19th, 2008, we may not notice the problems
until Tuesday...

If you wish to know more about the Full Moon in Scorpio, please read my previous blog!

In the mean time, here we are, in the time of year related to the Sun in the Sign of Taurus -
the Personal Money Sign!

The Law of Prosperity says that if you are truly peaceful, resting in your own bliss, and experiencing your own divinity, then prosperity flows gently, easily and quickly to you, just as easily as the money falling from the sky!


See how peaceful this little bull is?

And look at all the money falling from the Sky! I never get tired of this picture!

Taurus is the sign related to one's personal Cash - but it also relates to one's personal values -

So, what do you value in your life? - Cash is only a symbol of abundance - it is not true abundance.

Abundance is state of awareness that All Is Well In This Very Moment.

There are many people who have lots of cash and do not experience that peace and serenity -
that is because true prosperity is inside of us.

Since Taurus's Statement is "I Possess, or I Have," I would like to point out
two very prominent Historical figures who exemplify the extremes of
Taurus - Non-Possession and Non-Attachment and Extreme Possession and Attachment!

The Buddha was a Taurus, born on May 16th.   Happy Birthday, Buddha!
One of his primary teachings was that "Attachment is the Root of All Suffering."

He was a wealthy prince who gave up all of his worldly possessions to attain enlightenment.
So - He realized that it is not THINGS, but ATTACHMENT to THINGS that causes suffering.

The Buddha discovered through meditation on God, and quieting one's mind, one becomes free of Attachment, and when you experience the fullness of God in every moment, you no longer "need" anything.

Then, Jesus came and said, "Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven, (Inner Peace and Stillness) and all else will be added unto you." Matthew 6:24-33.

So, what are you focusing on - the outer world? (Chaos and Drama) or the inner world? (The Kingdom of Heaven)

Now, on the opposite end of the Spectrum:

There was another Historical Figure who embodied the EXTREME Possessive Side of Taurus -

Did you know that Adolf Hitler was a Taurus? - He was born on April 20th, right on the cusp of Aries and Taurus!

Hitler constantly screamed about his attachment to possessions! Very few images of him show him as being anywhere close to peaceful. All he wanted was Land, Land and More Land! And he wanted absolute power and dominion over people. And, as everyone who studies history knows, he caused alot of suffering and ended up with nothing!

(Note: I am not posting his picture because it vibrates such negative energy!)

Finally, I would like to add another Taurus birthday being celebrated this week:

My favorite Taurus - another great spiritual teacher, Baba Muktananda,
who was also born on May 16th, Buddha's Birthday!
(He left his body on October 2, 1982 - Mahatma Ghandi's Birthday.)

Happy Birthday, Baba!

Photo Copyright SYDA

Baba was a Siddha Master, who brought a Meditation Revolution to the West in the 1970's, and he taught the Great Mantra Om Namah Shivaya. For more info on Om Namah Shivaya, refer to my blog from March 7, 2008 - called "The New Moon in Pisces - The Great Ahhhh."

Baba's primary teachings were:
"Honor Your Self; Love Your Self; Worship Your Self; Your God Dwells Within You as You."
And "See God In Each Other." For more information on Baba, go to www.syda.org.

Jesus also said, "For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him." Matthew 13:12 - New Standard Bible.

I believe he was referring to one of the Fundamental Laws of Prosperity and Attraction, which is:
"Whatever thoughts you think, that is what you create in your world. Change your thoughts and you change your world."

All the prosperity consciousness that I have learned has come from these inspiring teachers:
The movie, "The Secret"; the Abraham-Hicks Book "Ask and It is Given"; Charles Fillmore, (The Founder of Unity) Catherine Ponder and Edwene Gaines (both Unity Ministers and Prosperity Masters), Starr Fuentes, Deepak Chopra, and many other Teachers' of Prosperity Consciousness.

When you experience abundance consciousness on a deep, emotional level, and constantly remind yourself "I am an abundant child of God - the Universe is filled with wealth and prosperity. There is enough to go around. I am enough, I have enough, and I experience love and joy and prosperity in every moment - everything I need is given to me."

These types of affirmations set into motion the Law of Attraction, and this is how more IS added unto you - simply by your joy and enthusiasm! Wealth comes to you in the form of new people, beautiful environments, and being happy in your own skin.

On the OPPOSITE side of the spectrum, when you constantly complain of lack, and only focus on how terrible the world is, and how some have and some have not, this creates a separating principle that blocks you from God, from the Source.

When you are living in such a state of mind, then, even if you lived in a wealthy palace, you could not truly experience your riches. We see this is the lives of the Rich and Famous all the time! Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears are good examples.

Just standing on top of a pile of cash seems pretty empty, if you don't experience peace within.

Abundance is a state of consciousness, based on an attitude of gratitude.

We have all heard the expression, "There is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow."

Well, when you look at this photograph of a rainbow this glorious, which has been going around the Internet, you can say "WOW - The Rainbow Itself IS the Pot of Gold!"

One final thought: There is a deadly disease called Tuberculosis, which attacks the Lungs. Even today, 1/3 of the world's population is infected.

Tuberculosis used to be called "Consumption" - because it seemed to consume people from within." It is the disease which has also killed many a female soprano in several Famous Operas, including "La Boheme" and "La Traviata". So, I encourage everyone to BREATHE these days!

Consume comes from the Latin roots "com" - which means "with" - and "summa" - which means "the highest."
Consumed and consumable goods means that which can be destroyed, dissipated, wasted and spent.

So, it is ironic that we talk about eating as consuming also.

Taurus also rules the Throat - so, what are you consuming, mr. and ms. consumer?

Are you being consumed by your negative thoughts? What types of expressions are you speaking out to the Universe. Why not change them?

AND, Guess what the latin word for Tuberculosis is? "MY-CO-BACTERIA!"

Amazing - Especially when you know that we are co-creators in our lives, isn't it interesting that we can even Co-create Disease?

On a current note:

I have been enjoying my new office, which I call "The Zodiac Cafe" in the Cosmic Connections Bookstore. I am finally doing the work I feel called to do for years.

Now I eat, sleep, and breathe Astrology. I feel so connected to this ancient art and science in ways I have never experienced before. It's amazing - Simply by putting up a "Shingle" of my own, saying "ASTROLOGER" - it is as if the Universe has rushed in to support me! I love teaching classes and giving readings.

I am located across the street from Belmont University right off Belmont Blvd. It is a great location.

I am also participating in the Galactic Expo at Nashville's Tennesee Fairgrounds off Murfreesboro Road this weekend.

I will be teaching a class on Sunday at 11 am on Planetary Hours - God's Time and How to use it more wisely!

If you are in town, I hope to see you soon!

Until Next Time, Blessings!

More will be Revealed!

Love,

Full Moon In Scorpio - What Do You Desire?

2008-04-22T04:26:00Z

And So, we come full circle - Last October 26th, 2007 I wrote a blog about the Full Moon in Taurus.

That was when the Sun was in Scorpio and the Moon was in Taurus -

It is this opposition which creates a Full Moon. So perhaps this information will sound very familiar.
The axis is the same.

Now, it is 6 months later, and the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is in Scorpio -
creating the flip side of that Full Moon in October!

This is a picture of the Peaceful, Quiet Taurus the Bull Chewing on it's cud contentedly in the fields.

And THIS is the picture of Taurus after someone has waved a red flag in front of them,
or after someone has taken something of value away from them!

The Sun recently went into Taurus on Saturday, April 19th, and it is the Sign relating to Personal Values, and Possessions. Taurus rules the 2nd House, the House of Personal Finance.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, the Goddess of Love and Money. Venus is represented by Spirit resting on the Cross of Matter. So, Venus is the part of us that seeks comfort and security. She represents our personal values and the natural attracting principle in us.

If you write a Gratitude List, it opens your heart, and you become irristable.

Also, if you do what you Love, the Money will Follow. Trust Me.

Money is Energy. It flows easily and gently when you simply are in Gratitude.

I just came back from a wonderful retreat with Edwene Gaines, prosperity master,
in Valley Head, Alabama - some of the affirmations we learned is:

"I am a millionaire because I give a million dollars worth of service to the world."

"I serve God. Money serves me."

Edwene says that every piece of money printed in the United States,
including the coins, all contain a prayer, "In God We Trust."

Could this be why our country is so wealthy?

Taurus has the statement - "I Have." So, are you grateful for everything that you have?
When Taurus is not happy with what they have, then they are like the Bull in the China Shop.

Scorpio is the Opposing sign dealing with Other People's Money, Banks,
Financial Institutions, Wall Street, and the IRS!

Scorpio has the statement - "I Desire." So, What Do You Desire?

This is the axis between looking at what you have, and cultivating an attitude of Gratitude, and then looking at what you desire and going after that. Let go of what no longer serves your desires over the next two weeks.

I manifested a desire that I have had for many years this past week.

On Sunday, April 13th, 2008, at 2 pm, during a SUN HOUR on a SUN DAY, with the Moon in Leo (my sign) - I opened an office - "The Zodiac Cafe - A Place to Feed Your Soul." Twelve people showed up! Twelve for the Twelve signs of the Zodiac! I plan to teach classes and give readings.

And this was even though the weather was cold and rainy and I gave only one day's notice to announce the Opening. There were even police barriers on my street due to the Country Music Awards! Talk about overcoming obstacles!

This blog is talking alot about Money because of Taurus and Scorpio., the two money signs.

Money is currency - it flows like currents from one heart to another.

In Feng Shui, water is money. Containing the water is very important in your house. Put Toilet Seats Down and Close the drains when you are not using them.

Miracles come in my life in many strange and unexpected ways - Last year, there was a woman named Mary Grace who came to Unity Church for Positive Living.

She had learned the method of blessing the water from Dr. Emoto, who wrote the "Hidden Messages in Water" - He was the man who worked with Water Crystals and showed how thoughts affected them. His work was shown in the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?"

Well, Mary Grace had our church group hold bottled water with blessings in the form of stickers on the bottles during the workshop.

Then we poured all the water bottels into a large glass carafe, so that it could be poured into a
Lake to bless the Water System of Nashville.

I am the one pouring the blessed water in the photo below. What is amazing is that the water formed a CM
(for Christina Malone?) very clearly in the middle as I poured!

So, is water intelligent? Yes, I think so - and so is the Universe!

Photo by Jenn Duncan.

God is working in your life whether you see it as dramatically as above or not!

Many Blessings on your Manifesting Your Desires!

More will be revealed!

New Beginnings - New Moon in Aries!

2008-04-04T07:08:00Z

New Moons are great for starting things. If you have been feeling slightly tired the past 2 weeks, chalk it up to the Waning (deflating) Moon, going from the Full moon in Libra to the New Moon in Aries. I am not going to go into a long explanation of Aries, since I did that in the last Entry. In Short, Aries Statement is "I AM!"

Here is a new graphic of it -- this is a little more sedate little ram...

A New Moon takes place this weekend - and it takes place whenever the Sun and Moon are together in the same sign.

Right now both Sun and Moon are in Aries, and since Aries is a Fire Sign, this New Moon might be a doozy!

I am hearing Jerry Lee Lewis singing "Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire!"

Speaking of Great Balls of Fire, during the week before Easter, I read an article about a Star that exploded half way across the Universe. It did not say half way across our Milky Way Galaxy, but millions of light years beyond that!

Just think of how long ago the actual explosion took place, for the light of that event to be reaching us NOW --It is staggering! This Star's energy burst forth and took place when our universe was half it's current age...

The sight of it only lasted a short while, so it did not get alot of News Coverage. I thought I should give it at least what it is due - a little more than 15 minutes of fame!

TA DA! (Photo Not actual size, obviously!) This photo was taken with a Telescope.

Here are quotes from the Associated Press:

"The explosion of a star halfway across the universe was so huge it set a record for the most distant object that could be seen on Earth by the naked eye.

The aging star, in a previously unknown galaxy, exploded in a gamma ray burst 7.5 billion light years away, it's light finally reaching Earth on Wednesday, March 19, 2008.

One Light Year is 5.9 Trillion Miles."

Whenever I read things like this, I feel very small sometimes in the face of how huge our universe is and how vast and unchartered it is. That is why I like to look at the Stars so much - I feel very close to God.

Many Blessings on your new beginnings!

Happy Easter! Happy Spring! Happy Sun In Aries - The Birth of the Great "I AM"!

2008-03-20T03:40:00Z

Every year, the Sun travels around the entire Zodiac, bringing us the Change of Seasons.

When the Sun returns to the beginning of the Natural Zodiac, it enters Sign of Aries!

When the Sun enters Aries, it begins the cycle of life all over again, which we call the Vernal Equinox,
or the Birth of Spring.

I think the First Day of Spring should truly be our REAL NEW YEAR. It FEELS like New Life is bursting forth everywhere!

Even the Symbol for Aries looks like a Fire Cracker!

Now - If you look at a Natural Zodiac as a Huge Cosmic Clock, Aries represents the Sunrise -

that first spark of life.

Aries statement is "I AM".   Some people think this refers to the EGO (little "i") -

But it actually relates to the Great "I AM"!

Look at this little Ram Jumping for Joy!

Now, isn't it wonderful that the early Christians chose this time of the year to celebrate Easter?

It looks like Jesus is coming out of the Tomb, saying "Here I AM!"

The Re-Birthing of Life in Spring is a perfect time for the Story of the Resurrection.

And since Aries statement is "I AM" -

it is also the perfect time to celebrate the One who gave us the

greatest expression of the "I AM" consciousness -- Jesus Christ.

We have always heard these words that Jesus said, "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life."

Jesus was GOD - so, why would he need to refer to his small human identity, as the "i am"?

Many people are coming to realize a different meaning to his words through Meditation --

Perhaps Jesus actually came to teach us that we are all the Universal, Limitless, Eternal "I AM" Principal -

It is sometimes called "Christ Consciousness" -

that place of existence where we are all ONE with God, with our Source.

This same Universal, Limitless, Eternal "I AM" exists within all beings, at all times,

is always alive and never dies! YAHOO!

Can't you just imagine yourself bursting out of your own Tomb of Fear and Death into a Ball of Light?

YEEHAA!

Jesus came to Model the Truth of who we are - by demonstrating His own Mastery over Matter, over the Elements, over Dis-Ease, and finally over Death itself!

Jesus showed us that we are not born to be limited by this Ego, this Body, this Mind, or anything else that the Earth Plane limits us by.

We are here to experience Eternal Life, the "I AM." Thank You, God!

Of course, the Easter Bunny with all his colorful Easter Eggs fits nicely into the Re-birthing Story, too!

So, now we see the cycle of life continue,

with the new budding flowers and birds signifying Spring, the end of the dead Winter.

By following the rhythms and cycles of Nature, we can truly feel Blessed by ALL these experiences --

Death and Re-birth, Loss and Gain, Breaking Down and Re-building --

the Ebb and Flow of the tides, the Rise and Fall of the Moon.

This Spring Equinox, March 20, 2008, when the Sun goes into the Sign of Aries,

will be followed the next day -- Good Friday! --

by the Full Moon, which is always in the Opposite Sign, so this time it will be a Full Moon in Libra.

This Full Moon will be a time to consider the Axis between the "I Am" consciousness - who I truly AM -
and who "We Are"- the collective consciousness.

And for those of you who missed the last Full Moon, which was also a Lunar Eclipse, last month -
check out this time lapse photo!

Isn't that Gorgeous?!!

I have been listening to the Oprah / Eckhart Tolle Webcasts on "A New Earth" --

They seem to be blasting through all our collective concepts, egos, and ideas of who we think we are.

This is a significant time for letting go of the old Ego-centered "i am" (the little i)

and spend more time breathing in and out in the peace and serenity of the BIG "I AM" -

that place in us that never dies...

You can check out the previous Webcasts on their free podcasts on www.oprah.com - they are fantastic!

Even if you are not able to participate live, you may be able to pick up on the "downloads" in meditation!

These webcasts are definitely affecting the planetary consciousness.

So, Enjoy the Spring! -

And Please Let me Know if you know anyone looking to buy a house and Labyrinth!

New Moon in Pisces - The Great "AAAAAAhhhhh"

2008-03-07T22:27:00Z

On Friday, March 7th, the Sun and Moon came together, after 2 weeks apart, to create a New Moon in the beautiful water sign of Pisces.

Pisces is represented by two fish going in opposite directions. One is swimming upstream, one is swimming downstream.

This is the symbol for Pisces. It looks like two mirrors held together by string. Like we are being split in two perhaps?

I hear a great "AAAAAAhhhh" in the Universe, like we are all taking a collective deep breath, and releasing it like a huge sigh.

This could be a sigh of relief,

or a it could be a sigh of fear - "AAGGGGHHH! - I can't take it anymore!"

Take a deep breath and let it out.... Let Go and Let God!

I have been attending Weekend Retreats with Edwene Gaines, a wonderful teacher and Prosperity Master, who lives in Valley Head, Alabama -- about 3 hours south of Nashville, TN - right near the Georgia border.

Her Rock Ridge Retreat site is truly Heaven on Earth. This land has been used for sacred ceremonies from the times of the Native Americans to the present.

It is a large farm with woods, fields and a beautiful labyrinth!

Here is the Wooded Path leading down to the Labyrinth near the Retreat Lodge

Here is the 7 Circuit Classic Labyrinth (View from the Center of the Labyrinth)

Here is the Lower Pasture of Rock Ridge Retreat (below the Labyrinth)

This is also near Little River Canyon, the highest elevated River in the United States.

It is also near Desoto State Park, which has a lodge where you can stay for $60 a night.

Last weekend's retreat was called "Working with Higher Dimensions"

The next one, April 3-6, will be a workshop called "Building the Millionaire Mind"

All these weekend retreats are only $95 for 3 days - and they include a Fire Walk --
This is an incredibly transformative experience, whether you choose to walk on the coals or not!

For More Retreat Info, please call Melanie or Kelly at Rock Ridge Retreat - Phone # 256-635-1377.

OTHER EVENTS LAST WEEK:

Oprah held the first Webcast with Eckhart Tolle called "A NEW EARTH" -- it was heard by thousands of people all over the world -

I believe this opened a big portal in the ethers and there was a shift in consciousness on many levels.

***If you missed it, you can still listen to the archives for free at www.oprah.com -
and you can also tune in the next few weeks, every Monday at 8 pm CST.

What I heard:

"Keep breathing!  (YES)

BE in nature to calm your mind.  (AHHH...)

Get in touch with the SILENCE -- BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."

ANOTHER EVENT that took place last week was the
celebration of MAHASHIVARATRI, a sacred time honoring SHIVA in the Hindu Tradition.

I have been using the OM NAMAH SHIVAYA mantra for many years.

OM NA-MAH SHI-VA-YA - is Sanskrit for "I Honor The Divinity Within All"

It is called the great 5 syllable mantra - OM plus NA MA SHI VA YA

Here is what Om Namah Shivaya looks like in Sanskrit :

This Mantra is amazing - It encompasses all the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space (Ethers).

OM    = The Universal Sound which all sounds emanate from.

NA     = Earth

MAH   = Water

SHI    = Fire

VA      = Air

YA      = Space - the Ethers

This Mantra truly helps still the Mind.

And, with the Sun, Moon and Mercury and Venus soon coming into Pisces - the Final and 12th house of the Natural Zodiac - the House of Pisces - this is a great time for meditation!

Pisces Statement is "I BELIEVE." So, What do you Believe in?

The Sign of Pisces relates to Oceans, whether they be the Oceans of the Earth, or the Ocean of Consciousness, or GOD. So, this is a great time to connect with the GOD of your understanding.

The next two weeks will be great for MEDITATION and doing VISION WORK.

Try to get near some bodies of water! Here is another one of my Favorite places :

Center Hill Lake, in Tennessee.

Being in Nature helps you to connect deeply with your Inner Self.

Pisces is connected with the subconscious mind, Dream World, Visions, Intuition, and Spiritual Communities such as Monasteries and Ashrams.

Pisces also has to do with imagination.  Pisces is the12th House in Astrology - related to our Deepest Fears, Addictions, Illusions and Deceptions of Human Consciousness.

Pisces and the 12th House also reveals the Cures for these Dis-Eases - 12-Step programs, Therapy and Treatment Centers.

If you cannot get to a waterfall, a lake, or the ocean, then take a hot bath, drink hot tea, and lose yourself in a good movie. Pisces also relates to losing one's EGO self.   Clear out some clutter and do some Spring Cleaning!

Do rituals that bring you joy - Chant, Burn Incense, Meditate.

Feel free to walk my labyrinth virtually on my website below - and BE at peace.

More will Be Revealed!

YAHOO! Mercury Went Direct - (Followed By Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo - The "Serve or Suffer Axis!")

2008-02-24T07:06:00Z

Well, are you smiling? Has your mind gotten clearer this week? Notice how things are moving a little smoother, a little faster -- a little sharper focus coming into view?

Well, Yes, ladies and gents, Mercury is back on track, and moving forward!

Of course, you know that Mercury never REALLY goes backwards during his retrograde,

but from Earth's point of view, which means us Human Beings,

he really does appear to be going backwards, then stands still, and goes forward again.

Here is the Happy Messenger of the Gods running on his merry way! Sexy, isn't he?

Now, even though things SEEM to be picking up after Mercury "changed course" on Monday, February 18th,

Just when we were getting comfortable, WHAM!

The Full Moon took place on Wednesday night, February 20th.

Don't you wish the planets would just leave us alone? Maybe give us a little vacation down here?

NAAAAHHH.. It Ain't gonna happen!

AND, since THIS Full Moon also included a very powerful TOTAL ECLIPSE, it was an awesome sight to watch.

(I was blessed to watch it on a very crystal clear sky night in Nashville, TN.)

The Moon was in the sign of Virgo, and Saturn is also in Virgo, so it was a spectacular sight to see the two of them dancing together in the sky.

For those who missed it --

The Moon started to disappear, and when the Eclipse was Complete, the moon turned BLOOD RED.

It stayed like that for an hour - and then the light slowly, slowly started to come back.

I actually broke down and cried when it disappeared, like some primal fear was awakened.

"What if she doesn't come back?" I worried. Even though my Modern Mind told me she would.

I felt what the ancient cultures must have felt - like we lost our "Mother" temporarily.

The Moon rules the tides of the earth, the fluids of our body, nurturing, the breasts, the stomach, and our emotional natures, so it felt like for that one hour when she was gone, our emotions were in the dark as well.

To add to this, The FULL MOON was in the Sign of Virgo! The Sun had just gone into the sign of Pisces, so a Full Moon is when the Moon is in the opposite sign from the Sun!

Virgo is also seen as the Sign of The Mother. The Harvest or Earth Mother.   The Dry, Desert Mother. Not like the Watery Cancer - Home Nurturer Mother.

Sometimes, Virgo can be very demure and self-conscious.

Virgo people are born late August - through mid-September - Autumn - Apple Picking time.

Virgo really likes order and cleanliness, and is very attentive to details of life. She can be meticulous and neat, but can also be very critical.

Virgo cares about the underdog and small pets.

She is also the sign related to all kinds of Service - which sometimes manifests in the professions of Nursing, and Office Work. She really prefers behind the scenes work, rather than being on stage, like Leo! (who was last month's Full Moon - GRRR or PURR - Remember?)

So, did you remember Saturn is in Virgo for 2 years? See my January Blogs!

Yes, Saturn will be in Virgo for 2 years.

And Saturn has to do with restriction, limitation, facing reality, growing up - but I also consider it the planet of Wisdom.

So, seeing Saturn next to the Full Moon made it feel even more like my Emotions were being crushed.

Of course, even though Virgo can be shy, she can also be sexy.

Since Virgo is the sign of Health and Service, I hear Saturn saying,

"Take care of your health - Find some way in which you can serve and offer yourself to the world in this life."

One of the ways I like to serve is give people access to a very orderly meditation tool, called a Labyrinth.

I just added another photo montage of the Labyrinth in Burns, TN - this is the Labyrinth which inspired and helped design the labyrinth on my property.

Since I am selling my home in Donelson (along with my Labyrinth), it's nice to be able to move to another Labyrinth, and call that "home" for a year, while I travel around giving talks, workshops, and private readings. If you have not seen a labyrinth, please check out this link to the Photo Montage I put together for the labryinth in Burns, TN.

And if you have not seen MY labyrinth yet, please visit my website.

Take the next two weeks easy - go slowly, (Saturn) and do not choose to suffer in this illusion of the world any longer!
