Wikipedia Astrologers work hard obtaining information about your natal chart and transits, but they're not God and they don't have all the answers.  Keep this in mind when you consult with an astrologer.  Most astrologers don't read minds, but the intuitive life coach astrologers have both access to your chart information and can read your energy field.  So don't sit there and stonewall the astrologer.  A session in my opinion involves dialogue as well as, some give and take.  Transits are open to interpretation as are configurations of planets in natal charts, especially when a yod is involved. As far as the client, you deserve a reading that is both positive and realistic.  You deserve to have the astrologer focus on you, the client, and not wax on about world events on your dime. After all, astrologers charge $85 and upwards for an hour reading.  If an astrologer starts going on about their personal life or about world events, gently bring the topic back to you

Wikipedia (Corrections of transits made on 5/1/13). Every astrologer has his or her own interpretation of planetary transits.  The theme I come up with for the May 9, 2013 Solar Eclipse is Divine Feminine Risen, meaning it is already done, already happened, and already healed, to quote one of my favorite metaphysical authors and lecturers Gregg Braden.  I also think that Mother Earth or Gaia is going to shake things up in the form of several large earthquakes around the planet, especially in regions where the the city or town has a Taurus or Scorpio Sun around 20 degrees, this could include Seattle (depending on which chart you read for Seattle and there are several charts for this city).  Other regions to watch out for have Sun, Moon or stelliums in Leo, Scorpio, Taurus or Aquarius. The reason these quakes whether they come in the form of inner revolutions bringing outer epiphanies in mass consciousness or actually earth quakes is that the sexes must get in balance now and I&

Venusian Beauty, Audrey Hepburn, Wikipedia With Sun, Mars and Venus in Taurus, and Mercury and Moon heading that way in the next two weeks, I'm sleeping in and my appetite has increased.  So I listened to Mark Husson's Hay House Radio show yesterday and the astrologer talked in detail about Taurus and also the upcoming eclipses.  Apparently, I'm not the only person craving comfort foods at this time or feeling like I'm just plodding my way through life (at this time).  With Mars so closely tied to the Sun right now through a conjunction, people will feel indignant about sleeping in and perhaps choosing unhealthy food (fatty, sweet, indulgent).  And with Venus in its home sign, cooking and eating are definitely on the agenda for most people, even if someone else is doing the cooking such as in the case of a restaurant. While we need to stay mindful of our eating and other habits during this time, don't become so disciplined that you miss out on this pleasurable

Wikipedia When I returned to astrology a year ago, I told my saint and angel guides that I wouldn't venture into the confusing planetary and transit realm without the help of my spiritual friends.  They sent me Saint Thomas Aquinas and his free will astrology philosophy, which sometimes to me, reads like theology, but... And so today my dear Thomas and I decided to explore the Venusian transits of late April and May.  Though while we are blessed with personal planets in Taurus (Venus co-ruler along with airy Libra), we will also experience an exact square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn (what's new Magoo?) and three eclipses two of which are in the Scorpio/Taurus axis. We pick up on themes revolving around sensuality (Taurus) and sexuality (Scorpio), but we see these experiences as transformative at least with the higher evolved souls.  For the others, sex is just sex and sensual pleasure can lead to excess and unwanted consequences.  Since we will experien

Wikipedia, Snowy Owl I'm reprinting my Pacific NW Author post here on ethics for people working in the metaphysical field.  I add that we need to approach astrology clients from the sensibility of their Sun, AC, and Moon signs and not from our own sensibilities. After all, we have the client's chart in front of us so we should know about their communication style, whether they are feelers, thinkers or doers, etc. I think of all the times an astrologer with an air or fire sign sun trampled over my water sign emotions and feelings.  They did not do this intentionally, but they were coming from their own frame of mind and experiences, which frankly, felt foreign to me.  They might as well have spoken German to me.  And if I approached a fire or air sign client from a place of feeling, I would quickly lose their attention too.  I might as well speak Swahili to them. Besides, becoming conscientious of a client's energy, I'm starting to think I would be better off giv

Wikipedia, Total Solar Eclipse For whatever reason, I thought that the upcoming Lunar Eclipse landed on April 30, but after gazing at my Moon guide, I noticed that the Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Scorpio lands on April 25 at 4:07 p.m. EDT.  This particular eclipse trines transiting Neptune 4 degrees while opposing the transiting Sun and transiting Mars in Taurus.  I'm including a wide orb opposition to transiting Venus too (6 degree orb) because Taurus rules Venus.  The Moon in Scorpio is always a time of secrets oozing through the cracks, both in our personal lives and on the macro level. Watch for headlines of a revealing nature, someone getting caught with his hands in the proverbial cookie jar--scandals left and right.  On a personal level, you might reach realizations and painful truths about friendships, partnerships, or even business-related ventures, if you have acted complacent in recent months and not practiced the art of discernment. This is not a comfortable time,
