Time, Astrology, and our Fate turn together on the great wheel of destiny. Sun dial and Zodiac on side of old European building.

It’s the end of the work week, and Friday shows some business in the heavens as the Moon dances nice with Venus, Mars, and Uranus. This makes for some interesting Romantic chemistry and a very good possibility of meeting a new Love interest if you’re single.  In a relationship?  Plan something new — a date on the town at the restaurant you’ve been wanting to visit.  We also see Mercury in trine with Saturn today which means you may find clear and realist thinking to be your strength both at work and at home. Think things through carefully and practically.

Just remember, as always, that tension is what is required to get where you’re going… Think of being alert, focused, ready to go, etc.

Thursday was a day about “trines” — one of the Astrological aspects that promotes harmony. We saw the Moon (Emotions) trining both Mercury (Communication), and Saturn (Practicality).  Everyone was talking about tax day and taxes — and Tea Parties to protest over taxation.  This is one obvious example.  Saturn can also bring a sense of restriction, and that’s also in keeping with what we feel about taxes, right?  What other parts of your life can you talk about today that might be holding you back?  It’s good to talk things out with colleagues, friends and mates — it’s one way that we serve each other.  Mercury is also know as a planet that promotes intelligence.  What better way to learn, than through communication?

Earlier in the week, we saw that your personal power lies in Neptune — the planet of Spirituality. We also saw a conjunction between Mars and Uranus which leads us to want to take risks.  Base decisions on Spiritual principles, and do not act rashly.  It is good to be bold, and willing to experiment, but be guided by right principles for God, for your company, your friends, your family, and for yourself.  Finally, we see the Moon (Emotions) squaring off with Venus (Love) today — so you may have some work to do in that facet of your life.  It’s good work — the pay off is wonderful.

Saturday looks a little “edgy” as the Moon (Emotions) shows some tension with Uranus, Mars, Venus, and Saturn. Yesterday there was harmony with three of those planets, and today, a bit of stress.  So goes the cycle as the great wheel of Astrology (and our lives here on Earth), turns.  Just remember, as always, that tension is what is required to get where you’re going.  Huh?  Think of being alert, focused, ready to go, etc.  That is the good type of tension, where you come to attention on what needs to be done.  This is an energy that when focused on right goals… will take you there.

On Friday, the Moon is cooperating well with both Mars AND Venus.  Man, Woman.  Action, Romance. A good day for a date with a new friend or long time romantic partner.  There’s also harmony with the energy of Pluto (renewal), so a date with your love interest could be just the ticket you need to fuel the fires.  The Moon (and that relates to a pull on your emotions) is at odds with Saturn, the planet of practicality, however.  Financial woes at home, and in the markets got you blue?  Don’t overspend to fight it.  Practical, down to earth, prudent moves exactly what’s needed right now.

“Since this is a time of caution, make sure your logical thinking keeps your feet on the ground before proceeding.”

Earlier in the week, we began Mercury Retrograde, so be very cautious about all communication and negotiations. The Moon is also showing an opposition with Neptune (Religion), but in harmony with Mercury (Communication).  So go with your gut feeling — your instincts — when you’re wondering what to say.  And use that uneasy feeling you may have about what’s going on with your Spiritual pursuits to make needed adjustments and get right with your Spiritual goals.

Saturday brings some interesting aspects, with the possibility of some ruffled feelings. Remember to communicate clearly, and to listen (an often overlooked skill in communications).  The Moon is working well with Jupiter today, so there’s a feeling that your growth plans are going to be OK.  Of course global financial markets are still in flux, so stay prudent and cautious.  Venus (Romance) is also putting some stress on feelings today, so make the right moves to be there for your partner.

Sunday finds Mercury (still in Retrograde) working well with Neptune — the planet of inventions and new ideas. This presents both an opportunity and a note of caution.  You may find your self in talks with colleages, family members, and coworkers about some business ideas you have, or perhaps a project or two around the house.  Good.  Just make sure you make all the details and your intentions clear — Retrograde is a period (in Mercury) known to foster errors in communication.

Peaking into next week, Monday is showing the Sun (personality) at odds with Neptune, so yesterday’s good feelings about a new project may get a double-check when you look more closely and logically at how it might proceed. That’s OK.  In business and at home, there’s always a push and pull between gut instincts and good common sense.  Since this is a time of caution, make sure your logical thinking keeps your feet on the ground before proceeding.  The Moon and Sun are also in conjuction today, so this is another sign that it is good for you to balance intuition with clear thinking.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is wholly or partially obscured — a potent time, Astrologically speaking.

On Friday, Mars (initiative) is in opposition to Chiron (Healing). This means it’s better to relax today, rather than drag through old wounds. The Moon (Emotions) has also moved into conjunction with Mercury (Communication), and the Sun (Personality). This gives you the feeling you can communicate what others need to know to help you accomplish your goals. Also, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Leo — a positive influence for confidence, creativity, romance and dating. So enjoy your hot Friday night.

.. our New Moon is playing well with Pluto (renewal) a great combination to rejuvenate yourself and your relationship

A New Moon is all about the initiation of energy, and the Solar Eclipse, being in Leo, is a sign of indulgence. It’s a great time to go dancing, to an art show, enjoy a five course meal… or maybe all of those things. Focus on new ways to spark your relationships, creative pursuits, and family undertakings. It’s a good time to meditate on some of the things that Leo energy brings to life: generosity, caring, warm, authoritative, active, and hospitality. You will shine at a party that you throw this weekend. Remember, New Moon — start something new. Solar Eclipse — helps ignite the energy it is associated with (here we talk about Leo, but you should also consult your own particular natal chart for more details — give me a call and I’ll help).

Earlier in the week, the Moon trined Neptune (Spirituality) which brings a good harmony to your life and makes this a good time to work on your romantic interests. Remember to go with your intuition here. The Moon is also at odds with Mars (Initiative), so while the spirit moves you in the right direction, you may find it hard to take the first step. There’s also some stress showing with Pluto (Transformation), so there may be something you need to deal with first before you can move ahead. No fear. Take courage and do the right thing.

Looking into the weekend, on Saturday… our New Moon is playing well with Pluto (renewal) a great combination to rejuvenate yourself and your relationships. Get away to the beach. Go up to the mountains. A trip to a spa could be in order (remember the indulgence of Leo?). The Moon (Emotions) is also in conjunction with Venus (Love), so your heart can really dance this weekend. In fact, dancing might be a great recipe for fun — go out and hear your favorite band. It’s time to kick up your heals.

Cheers to you all as we complete this week & already launching this weekend with a gorgeous Friday evening Happy Hour, cocktails, dinner & ?? You name it it’s going to be hot…whether it’s communication or unification… Hello Houston, we have joined and connected a duo that will most certainly turn out to be more than a mere relationship or dating casualty!

And what comes next?

Well, that is up to you two of course!

But whatever you decide to do or however you both choose to behave in order to bring it altogether… count on this being one of the best Spring Seasons for Love you’ve yet to experience. . . that by August/September could lead into binding/committed love that takes you to the alter!

The Aries New Moon ignites with passion & desire, coupled with the Aries ‘Sun’ and Springtime fun… well, does it get any better than this? ; ) Call me & let’s talk about how this awesome new lovers‘Moon is affecting you!

Are you involved with a cheating man? Below are the top 10 signs of a cheating man. The Clue for You is to watch for ‘CHANGES’ in your man’s Behavior.

The cheating man can only hide his cheating ways for so long before he gets caught. The longer a man cheats, the higher probability he will get caught. In this busy day and age, it is difficult to carry on more than one relationship. However, with inventions like the internet, accessibility to willing partners has become easier than ever. There are various ways of how to tell if your man is cheating. Below is a list of the top 10 signs of a cheating man. How can you know if your man is cheating? If your man exhibits any of the below signs ladies, it’s definitely time to take a closer look.

1. He Spends less time with you. The cheating man must use the excuse of working long hours, extra meetings and dinners or other unexplained functions so he will have time with his “other” woman.

2. He Isn’t as affectionate towards you as he once was. Your sex life is almost non-existent because of his other commitments. He doesn’t want to cuddle, watch movies, hold hands or do many of the touchy things he used to.

3. He changes or updates his physical appearance. A cheating man usually starts buying new clothes, update his hair style or begin working out because he desires to be attractive to the other woman in his life now, besides you.

4. He will often times buy a new Car or you will notice specific ‘car’ changes. The passenger seat in the car has been moved or there is an unknown hair on the car seat. Perhaps the radio station is on an irregular or new station because that’s what she likes.

5. The Cheating man is often times irritable. He may be short-tempered because of the guilty feelings as a result of the infidelity. Things that usually did not bother him will suddenly become bothersome.

6. The cheating man may smell different. He may smell of perfume, smoke or alcohol, especially if he hasn’t had time to change from meeting up with her prior to coming home.

7. He may have abrupt disposition, demeanor, & behavior changes. The cheating man frequently becomes defensive when questioned about his whereabouts. He may turn it around to accuse you of being insecure, possessive or snoopy. He becomes the great Spin-doctor in arguments to project and make you the problem, rather than his ‘cheating’!

8. The cheating man will change his Cell phone usage. The cheating man can not leave his telephone turned on when with you because his other woman may phone him. He may leave the room to have a conversation or say strange things after he picks up a message from his lover. Watch for calls in the middle of the night, or at odd times. If you have access to his cell phone bill, check it closely. Look for repeated unknown numbers, times and durations.

9. The Cheating man will have Computer usage changes. Your cheating man will often times use his personal or work computer to seek out partners to meet and communicate with. If your man is on his computer for long periods of time at night and he closes the door so you won’t see him, he may be communicating or chatting with his love interest.

10. The Cheating man will have Changes in spending habits. You will be able to tell if your man is cheating if he is suddenly always broke. He’s broke because he is spending all of his money on the other woman. Watch as to whether he is paying with cash and making more frequent ATM withdrawals to cover his paper trail. Check any receipts, bill’s or stubs that you may have access to.

Once you have questioned your man, and you have determined whether or not he is cheating, make sure you have a plan of action that you will take after you talk with him. You need to decide whether it’s time for you to move on or whether this relationship may be worth a second chance.~

Have you ever been asleep or nearly asleep and SUDDENLY or Violently felt your entire body ‘JERK’ or ‘TWITCH’ nearly out of control for about a second or two?

“Dreaming is a natural part of our sleep, we all dream and most of us do experience some recall. It’s a good and wise idea to begin a dream journal. “

We all have felt this disconcerting phenomena upon falling asleep or just after going to sleep, on occasion. The name for this reaction or sensation is called a Myclonic Jerk.

**(This is also a name commonly used for the guy whom you just broke up with or the guy who just broke up with you… LOL!

Girls, I just couldn’t resist . . . ; )

Many people who dream they are falling will oftentimes twitch or jerk their entire torso, arms or legs. And as a result immediately wake themselves up. There is no absolute reason as to why this occurs. One theory is that Myclonic Jerks occur out of our instinctive defense response for what our brain perceives as a potentially dangerous or harmful situation or circumstance. It’s a “fight or flight” type response. Sometimes dreams are so real that the brain believes that we are really falling or in some sort of danger. And hence the brain sends signals to the body to “flee” for safety.

Dreaming is a natural part of our sleep, we all dream and most of us do experience some recall. It’s a good and wise idea to begin a dream journal. You’ll be surprised by how recording—-even the tidbit of information that you can recall—-will alter your waking life in a way that will have a positive life changing effect and especially so in all your relationships.

I’ll be exploring more about dreams with you soon…

Internet Dating Venues and Planetary Influences

I am not surprised to learn that most experiences on match.com and eharmony.com are less than favorable. More oftentimes than not, by the time my clients get to me, they have endured numerous horror stories. After personal indepth study of “the personals” both on and off the net, for more than twenty years now, I have found that many of these less than favorable situations could have been avoided. Prospective dating candidates armed and aware, can achieve great results by paying attention to absolute rules, boundaries, and principles in discerning behavior patterns and personality types, and of course ASKING QUESTIONS! Discernment of all that is being communicated in the emails and phone calls during the initial contact and personal connection is essential.

“It is vital that whether you are a man or woman, that your profile states exactly what you want, need, and desire.”

Hense, my reason for suggesting that if you are entertaining the idea of using an internet dating service, it’s vital that you contact someone who has studied the internet personals, in depth, who can assist you during the initial profiling and contact stage. Asking ‘the right’ questions will foster a happier and more productive, actually enjoyable dating experience. By employing someone with professional expertise in areas of behavior and personality profiling, you will allow an encounter with fewer challenges, actually promoting a more sound and practical ‘online’ dating experience. The choices that you make regarding the person whom you choose to share your time with will make all the difference in the world with regard to how happy or unhappy your experience will be.

It is vital that whether you are a man or woman, that your profile states exactly what you want, need, and desire, and if you are writing your own profile it is imperative that you are honest with yourself first, and then state your desires in your narrative so that it is clear about ‘who’ you are and ‘what you want, need, and desire’ is absolutely ‘clear’ as well. There is a tried and true method and very strict rules about placing your profile and narrative online. And it is a wise man or woman who knows exactly who ‘YOU ARE’ and ‘WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING in a mate’ that will enable you to offer a concise and direct “self-PROFILING” in a way that will deliver the best result.

Many of the people whom I have initially assisted in placing their profile on a dating service, or re-started on Match or Eharmony have found that this time around, with my professional assistance has sincerely enjoyed themselves so much more. And they can only attribute their success by better self-profilling and more concise interactions upon initial communication with a prospective partner. And of course, it makes no sense to sign up for something, pay for it, and then not use it to its full capacity and for your best benefit.

Jumping on a dating service or listing yourself in a personal ad without the proper education in this area is truly a dangerous idea. In my practice I see so many unhappy people — and come on people, this is suposed to be FUN! Of course, I am truly sorry for any initial pain and suffering, however, you can put that behind you by contracting me, or someone well versed and educated in online dating who can truly be invaluable to a successful and enlightenting process and experience that will eventually provide much growth in areas of meeting and greeting and of cøurse, overall future dating success.

The Role of Psychology, Astrology, & Spiritual Principals…

I use Psychology, Astrology and Spiritual principals based on scripture in my practice, with a modern day practical approach to romantic relationship. I use Psychology to explore the male and female behavior patterns associated with how ‘THEY’ approach romance and committment based on their gender specific primal nature; using Astrology I focus on the ‘nature’ of their personality based on the placement of their SUN (the date of birth) and MOON (date and year of birth), as well as their individual history of past relationships and how ‘those relationships’ may be affecting their present behaviors in and around their current relationship.

Unfortuately, neither Astrology nor any other discipline, metaphysical or otherwise, can tell you exactly what is going to happen — as you know, I’m sure; only GOD can do that. And NOT EVEN GOD, gets in the way of FREEWILL. However, it’s important that we know how Psychology, Astrology, and Spirituality does provide practical, logical application and assistance in discerning whether something is right or at least right for us.

What Astrology can do is simply this, provide a time-line of possible events that more probable than not will occur based on planetary archetype and actual personalities, behaviors, and planetary patterns, along with the phases of the moon relative to those planetary influences on earth. Similar to this scientific fact, for example: The MOON controls the “rolling in and out”, the ebb and flow — if you will, of the tides — and of course, the tides are WATER. Our bodies are made up of 92% water. Therefore, we too, are influenced by the moon and the planetary influences based on the physics of the actual energy pull between the solar system and the earth; and we are as human beings, a physical energy on this planet Earth.
