Hey folks! Happy Summer from Alex Palermo and the staff of the Tremont Tearoom. I have a great newsletter for you this month. It was a lot of work, but at least I get to bash Martha Stewart and feel bad for Vanna White <gg>... here's the scoop................
Astrological News and Analysis July 2002
"July 2 — Big city mayors on
Tuesday urged Americans to turn out for July 4th celebrations but to also be
vigilant and show patience as police step up security against any terrorist act.
The preparations came as the
It's different, isn't
it? What were we doing a year ago? Watching the networks spin out of control
over the summer soap opera called Chandra Levy. This year it's Elizabeth
Smart. We railed over Bush's Tax Cut at the time of last year's USA Solar
Return. This year it is Enron, WorldCom, Xerox, Global Crossing and
Imclone.
We are roughly 70 days shy of our
first September 11th anniversary. CNN online polls that once asked if we
supported Bush's Tax Cuts now query as to whether we'll change our travel plans
because of renewed terrorist threats.
Last year's "Homeland Security" was
Bush's busting of the trade unions in favor of big
business.
This year's "Homeland Security"
after "The American Patriot Act" was passed.
"Restrictions on personal liberty,
on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on
the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal,
telegraphic and telephonic communications; and warrants for house searchers,
orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also
permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise
prescribed."

The Constitution chart is under
great stress drawing in the Bush Kremlin. (I call this administration "Kremlin"
due to the secrecy surrounding it). The Constitution's progressed Mars and
Uranus at 26 degrees Cancer conjoin Bush's natal Saturn in his 12th house
of secret matters. The aforementioned planets are in opposition to the

Constitution's natal Lunar Nodes (1 degree Capricorn North/1 degree
Cancer/South) were also smacked by the Lunar Eclipse of
Worthy of note is the Constitution's
progressed Chiron at 10 degrees Gemini (the pain of truthful disclosure) which
is conjoined the Republican Party's natal Saturn! Note that the GOP's natal
Uranus at 15 degrees Taurus is conjoined to the Declaration of Independence's
progressed Midheaven; The USA's Solar Return Moon; quincunx Bush's progressed
Chiron (15 degrees Libra); the USA's natal Saturn (14 degrees Libra); and
quincunx T-Pluto (15 degrees Sagittarius). The Declaration of Independence's
progressed Moon at 11 degrees Gemini has just crossed over the GOP's natal
Saturn and the Constitution's progressed Chiron. Issues of how much freedom vs.
how much control (Uranus/Saturn/Chiron) the nation is afforded are squarely in
the forefront. Whether the Constitution prevails or authoritarianism supplants
it will be under strict examination for at least the next three years. There is
more at stake this 4th of July than whether Americans decide to congregate in
public places. It gets down to whether, in three years, we'll be allowed to
peacefully assemble at all.
Martha Stewart's Karmic
Rewards
With Martha Stewart's stock and
popularity falling, she'd better start tagging her furniture. The new "Queen of
Mean" (see Salon.com), who has been reviled in at least two autobiographies, may
soon find herself listed as a K-Mart "Blue Light
Special."
Her $290M empire, built on towels,
sheets and 1950's dreams of blissful housewifery may find 2002's Dragon-in-June
Cleaver-clothes doing a spell in the Federal Pen. She would be an ideal
candidate for the arts and crafts prison rehabilitation program. However, before
Martha trades in her button-down blouses for prison orange, we might want to
consider the current culture. I haven't heard of one CEO yet who is behind bars
as a result of rampant corporate fraud.
Stewart has a fitful,
fateful aspect formed by her natal Sagittarius Moon in quincunx to Mercury
in Cancer and to her Saturn/Uranus conjunction in Taurus in the 7th
house.
Martha's 2nd house Sagittarius Moon
is "peregrine" (no essential dignity) on Ptolemy's Dignities Table. It is also
conjunct the Arabic Part of "Treachery" and the fixed star,
Aculeus:
"History of the star: In the stinger
of the Scorpion. A companion cluster to Acumen.
The Akadians called Scorpio, Girtab,
the "Seizer", or "Stinger", and the Place where One Bows Down, titles indicative
of the creature's dangerous character; and referring to the striking curve of
stars which lies in a dark portion of the Milky Way that forms the tail of the
Scorpion, terminating in the poisonous upturned stinger, as if ready for an
attack. (Allen).
Influence of the constellation: The
Scorpion is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump "The
Lightning-Struck Tower". (Robson).
General influence of the star: It
effects the eyesight and causes blindness of one or both eyes if in conjunction
with an afflicted luminary, or in conjunction with a malefic that afflicts the
luminaries. The opposition seems to be equally effective"
(Robson).
Updating ancient astrology's more
literal interpretation of Aculeus, blindness may indicate what Martha cannot see
about her own character and that "birds of a feather" come home to roost at
IMclone headquarters. The question "What did Martha know and when did she know
it" becomes as relevant today as it was for Richard M. Nixon in 1973. Nixon also
profited on the sly through the illegal garnering of funds -- some of which were
funneled in by the super rich paranoid, Howard
Hughes.
Martha's Moon, ruled by Jupiter in
its detriment in 8th house Gemini speaks of dualities. Which way will Martha go?
What will Martha's modus operandi be in relation to 8th house "big money/big
power?" Jupiter receives a -10 score on Ptolemy's Dignities Table (pretty dire)
and also lies in opposition to her Arabic Part of "Private Enemies." Her part of
"Private Enemies," then, is 14 degrees Sagittarius. Pluto's retrograde
cycle will conjoin that point in late August 2002. Stewart, who has a long
history of mistreating her employees, as well as players high up on the
financial food-chain, has spent a lifetime making enemies. Stewart's 6th house
Aries Mars (the house associated with one's employees) shows a penchant for
workaholism and heavy-handedness with subordinates. She runs her day-to-day
operations like General Patton marching through
Stewart's natal Sun is opposed by
Her Part of Fortune at 24 degrees
Pisces is in her 5th house of "stock market risks." It opposes her Arabic Part
of Imprisonment (24 degrees Virgo). The part of imprisonment in the 11th house
a) is conjoined to 11th house
Mercury, a part of Stewart's YOD, is
conjoined to the fixed star, Procyon:
"With Mercury: Occult interest,
minor position of management under Government, trouble and scandal through
opposite sex, favorable for health and gain.
(Robson).
General influence of the star:
According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mercury and Mars; to Simmonite, of
Venus and Mars, which is probably a misprint; and, to Alvidas, of the Moon,
Jupiter and Uranus. It gives activity, violence, sudden and violent malevolence,
sudden preferment by exertion, elevation ending in disaster, danger of dog bites
and hydrophobia, and makes its natives petulant, saucy, giddy, weak-natured,
timid, unfortunate, proud, easily angered, careless and violent. Two cases are
on record of death or injury by dog bite in which Procyon and Sirius are
involved. (Robson).
Procyon is a very fortunate star;
known to the Mesopotamians as 'The Star of the Crossing of the Water - Dog', as
it lies near their
Procyon speaks of rise and success
but a fall from high position later. By way of example, note that O.J. Simpson
has natal Mercury on Procyon. Richard M. Nixon's natal
Let's have a look at Stewart's
Saturn-Uranus conjunction, both of which are part of her natal YOD. The two are
in the 7 th house in the sign Taurus. Uranus is in its fall in the sign
Taurus. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, is relatively happy in another earth sign,
but not in conjunction with Chaotic Uranus. Martha's Virgo Venus (in fall) lends
no help to this conjunction and testifies to a rather pragmatic, dry, "take" on
intimate relationships. Her marriage fell apart when her husband walked out on
her. Again, her Sagittarius Moon in quincunx to her "marriage house" planets,
ruled by Jupiter in detriment, did not bode a happy first marriage for the
domestic diva. Uranus at 29 degrees Taurus is conjoined to the fixed star,
Alcyone:
The misuse of beauty aids reminds me
more of Katherine Harris than Martha Stewart.
Remember that her
An example, of Alcyone: this fixed
star was on the Ascendant for the morning the U.S. Senate filed into its
Chambers and signed off on the Petition to begin impeachment proceedings against
Bill Clinton.
Stewart's progressed Midheaven at 18
Libra is conjoined to the arabic parts of "danger and peril" and "profession."
Clearly it is profession and reputation that are now imperiled for the Decorator
Dominatrix. The transiting lunar Nodes hit 27 Gemini/Sagittarius on December
26-27, the day she cashed in her IMclone stock via alleged insider trading. As
fated points, the Lunar Nodes, were in the same degree as Stewart's
Saturn-Uranus, all of which keyed directly into her natal Yod. The Christmas
lunar nodes resonated with Stewart's chaotic Uranus on the unluckiest of Stars,
Alcyone, presaging the loss of reputation, money and possible lawsuits Stewart
now faces. Mars at 18 degrees Aries retrograde in her progressed chart
shows conflagrations that upset her private life. Her Sun/Moon midpoint is also
18 degrees Libra, made more uncomfortable by Mars' square to the aforementioned
points from the sign of Cancer, exact on

another remarkable geocosmic zone that may very well correspond to large price
moves in many financial markets. Between July 3 and August 10, the Sun, Mars and
Jupiter will all conjoin one another.
The first of these powerful
signatures is Mars conjunct Jupiter, which takes place on Wednesday, July 3, at
23 degrees of Cancer. In 16 of the 20 cases observed since 1962, this 27-month
planetary cycle has coincided with primary or greater cycles within 15 trading
days in the major
The next part of this important
group of geocosmic signatures will be the Sun conjunct Jupiter on July 19, at 26
degrees Cancer. Of the three major aspects being discussed this is, perhaps, the
least important in terms of its historical correspondence to stock market
cycles. Still, it has correlated with primary or greater cycles in
An interesting side note is the fact
that these first two aspects take place in 23-26 Cancer. This zodiacal sector
forms a T-square to the Moon-Saturn conjunction in Aries, and Jupiter Neptune
conjunction in Libra, of the New York Stock Exchange chart of
Part of this major formation of
conjunctions is the Sun-Mars contact of August 10, which takes place at 18
degrees Leo, opposite the U.S. Moon. Within 27 trading days, this aspect has had
a 67% correlation to a 50-week or greater cycle in the major
All of this suggests a very
interesting period coming up in the next six weeks for major stock indices in
the world. And if stocks move, you can be fairly certain that major mundane
events will transpire too—perhaps a drought? All of these aspects involving Mars
(and the last is in a fire sign, no less) suggests hot weather, and the
continuation of danger brought about through forest fires that rage out of
control. It is likely to be a hot, reckless and aggressive period when many
things appear to go "over the top." But this could be in terms of
over-confidence as well as tempers. Enjoy it if things go your way. It can
coincide with a lot of fun on a personal level, and great performances in the
world of sports. But be careful of over-estimating, or over-trading, because
even good things can come to a sudden end once these signatures are
completed.
Astrological Highlights July
2002
The Sun in Cancer until the 22nd
supports all the issues of security and emotional connections. These include
homes, building, real estate, family, parenting, children, food, country, social
issues, counseling, finances, income, geriatrics and genealogy. The long 4th of
July weekend provides the opportunity to meet with family and support
patriotism. Jupiter in Cancer all month adds the global dimension to family and
can exacerbate the religious, political and territorial aspects of one country’s
“family” verses another. In various parts of the world people are in conflict
with their neighbors over land, religion, politics and history. While they fight
with each other, they threaten to jeopardize everyone’s security, including
their own. The New Moon in Cancer on the 10th indicates a new direction in any
of the home, family and security issues. The President’s new idea of
consolidating Federal agencies into one for Homeland Security reflects this. The
Sun in Leo after the 22nd supports leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, entertainers
and the appreciation of the arts and creative self-expression. Leos are also
generous with children, loved ones and friends they entertain.
Mercury
(communications, writing, contracts, commerce) in Gemini until the 7th supports
information processing, intellectual connections, commercial interactions,
negotiations, agreements, short-distance travel, early learning, working with
the hands and trade. Mercury’s connection with Saturn on the 2nd is a good
aspect under which to write, instruct or complete a detailed project. Mercury’s
connection with Uranus on the 6th supports technical ideas and work on computers
and programs. Mercury in Cancer from the 7th to the 21st supports communication
with family and travel to spend time with anyone from whom we receive emotional
support. Mercury in Leo after the 21st combines with the Sun and Mars in Leo to
support art, performance and entertaining. Leo is the sign of the entrepreneur
so this is a time to start new businesses or creative projects. Leos are
generally proud of their children, generous with their loved ones, loyal to
friends and supportive of their employees. On the negative side, they can be
egotistical.
Venus (values, money, social
connections) in Leo until the 10th supports social events, parties, picnics,
performing and appreciation of the arts, such as art fairs and festivals. After
the 10th Venus in Virgo shifts attention to routine functions at work and home.
This includes maintenance and beautification of land, gardens and property as
well as enhancements inside the home or work place. Venus has a social aspect
which supports taking care of and appreciating those with whom you interact on a
daily basis.
Mars (initiation, energy,
aggression) in Cancer until the 13th brings energy to the security issues of
home, family, finances, real estate, food and emotional support. Mars in Cancer
energizes family activities, projects around the home, sharing of food and
family reunions. This includes initiation of searches for birth parents and
adoptees. In the global view this combination can support defense of homeland
and aggression toward others when danger is perceived. Mars in Leo after the
13th supports the desire to initiate new businesses, participate in or attend
art fairs, engage in or enjoy performances and to entertain or attend
parties.
Jupiter (expansion, opportunity,
optimism, travel, foreign trade, education, religion) transits 22 to 29 degrees
Cancer and will not repeat these degrees. Jupiter’s year-long transit in each
sign repeats once every 12 years, so you can review what was happening in your
life in the summer of 1990 as well as 1978, 1966, 1954, etc., to see what
Jupiter in Cancer means to you, how you handled it and what you learned from it.
Birthdays most affected are from July 15th-22nd, January 13th-20th, April
13th-20th, and October 16th-23rd as well as any chart with planets or angles
from 22 to 29 degrees Cancer, Capricorn, Libra or Aries. Jupiter in Cancer
raises all the home, family, security and emotional issues as well as the
extended home and family of the religious community, political ties and national
pride. Cancer also rules home, building, real estate, genealogy and finding lost
or adopted family members – interests likely during this
transit.
Saturn (structure, foundation,
responsibility) transits 21 to 24 degrees Gemini where it retrogrades from
December of 2002 to January of 2003 and repeats direct February thru April 2003.
Saturn in Gemini indicates that acceptance of or changes in responsibility will
be experienced by all of this Sun Sign between April 2001 and June of 2003. This
month’s transits will most strongly affect those born around June 13th-16th,
December 13th-16th, March 12th-15th and September 14th-17th as well as those
with planets or angles around 21 to 24 degrees Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces and
Virgo. Saturn’s cycle repeats every 29.6 years, so it is helpful to review what
was happening 29 years ago (or the half-cycle of 15 years). Saturn in Gemini
suggests restructuring in the transportation, communications, trade and
information processing industries as well as commerce and the work force in
general.
Uranus (freedom, rebellion,
surprise, invention, technology) retrogrades from 28 to 27 degrees Aquarius
where it was in April and May and will repeat direct in January/February 2003.
Those with birthdays around February 16th/17th, August 20th/21st, May 18th/19th
and November 19th/20th will need freedom, will be in chaotic conditions or will
make radical changes at these times as well as any chart with planets or angles
at 27 or 28 degrees Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio. Uranus in its ruling sign
has emphasized the use of computers, electronics and technology, the speed at
which life moves and erratic weather patterns as well as rebellious behavior,
bizarre happenings and freedom issues. It also suggests that the only way we
will survive is by being humanitarian.
Pluto (power, control, resources,
transformation) retrogrades at 15 degrees Sagittarius where it was February thru
April 2001, in December 2001 and will repeat in September/ October of 2002. Most
affected are birthdays around December 7th, June 6th, March 6th, and September
8th as well as charts with planets or angles around 15 degrees Pisces, Virgo,
Gemini and Sagittarius. From December 2001 to November 2002 they will experience
changes in life such as marriage, divorce, job changes, financial challenges,
relocation or questioning of beliefs. During and after these transits personal
or marriage counseling may be required and transformational or self awareness
workshops are enlightening and highly recommended. Since the sign of Sag rules
education and religion, now that Pluto has reached the middle degrees of the
sign we are seeing transformation in methods of education and public awareness
regarding the misuse of sexuality by the religious and the need for
accountability.
Saturn and Transportation = Amtrak
Blues
Amtrak, the nation's sole operator
of intercity passenger trains, is in desperate need of $200 million over the
coming week or it will begin shutting down service immediately. The Bush
Administration proposed a number of reforms last Thursday designed to give
states more responsibility for train service, but none of them would rescue
Amtrak from its current cash crunch.

Venus-Vesta combinations have a
downside, which is that the devotion to work and being beautiful can displace
intimacy. Over the last year transiting Pluto activated her fateful Yod

July's Report for your
sign
Summer sizzle, busy airports,
heavy traffic on the roads, holiday festivities and crowds everywhere. It's a
jammed packed start to the month. Catch some thrills. Catch the sun's rays. Be
good to yourself. Be liberal with the hugs. Energetically, the stars dish out
betwixt and between. We are just out the starting gate and galloping somewhat
uncertainly down the track. It's a month of transitions, reorienting, adjusting,
trial and error, new strategies and aiming for the next best thing. Mars
progresses into the sign of Leo mid month, generally a more fun loving,
confidant and active sign. The passion planet has to work around a few party
poopers until the third week of the month. Not that it's bad news. Just that we
haven't got all the goodies quite yet. The month finishes at a fairly relaxed
pace. Heading into August, Mars fires up into hot stuff.
Aries March 21 to April 19
Ruler: Mars; Color: Red; Body:
Head and face, upper jaw; Element: Fire
Home and family receives top
attention this month. For some, the feeling is cozy, comfy. For some,
obligations bring a sense of feeling trapped. Despite high energy, enthusiasm,
and your desire to light big fires, you've got sparks, not blazes. You can only
go so far given the current stellar setup. Betwixt and between. Think of this
month as a regroup phase. Continue to explore next steps, review priorities,
tighten the loose ends. Continual experimentation will lead to new ways of
seeing, being and doing. Amass ideas, enjoy simple pleasures, take more time to
nurture yourself. Let the inner child come out to play. Mars, your ruling
planet, moves into the fun loving sign of Leo July 13. This planetary influence
offers more entertainment and romantic potential. You can look forward to the
best offerings from this planetary influence next month.
As the month begins, you could be
frustrated trying to contact people or organize projects when many of the key
players are on holiday or getting ready to leave town.You may just have to leave
messages and do your own homework in preparation for their return. Between the
7th and 21st will be your time to focus on home and family. The New Moon on the
10th signals a new direction in your home or a new attitude toward the family or
one family member. After the 21st, sports in general or a particular sporting
event will attract your attention. Being an Aries, you could take the lead in
organizing an event, as long as they do it your way. Around the 17th, you are
able to gather support for ideas and activities and could find one particular
relationship going very well. By the 24th, you will be visible in a work or
social group, giving a presentation or just being your charming
self.
Taurus April 20 to May
20
Ruler: Venus; Body: Throat and neck,
upper esophagus; Element: Earth
Vacationing? Playing more? How
wonderful. The stars increase social opportunity this month. Connecting with
friends and family brings good times. People from your past rekindle memories
and pull on the heartstrings. It's satisfying to witness the growth curve since
the last visit or review. The lengthy pressure of the Saturn/Pluto opposition is
now loosening the chokehold on your survival and intimacy issues. Of course, you
need to appreciate evolution as an ongoing creative process. Ambition is a
worthy attitude to groom. So long as you can find more to strive for and toward,
you know you are alive and well. Uranus will continue to keep you on your toes.
For this month, mosey along, enjoy the traditions of summertime and let the sun
brighten your days.):
As the month begins, you are
preparing to initiate a new project or direction in your professional life. You
are very conscious of how much information processing and paper work it takes to
keep things organized. After the 7th, you could be involved in learning or being
the trainer. Although you may not have had much experience of this kind in the
past, you will find that you enjoy it and it could open a new path in your
career. The New Moon on the 10th will emphasize this. If you have time after the
17th, you are in the mood for decorating and beautifying your living space so
that you can invite people to entertain for whom you can cook. After the 22nd,
children or other family members take over with their friends, but you enjoy
them as much as your own. After the 24th you receive recognition for your recent
accomplishments and you realize how many people know you and appreciate your
help.
Gemini May 21 to June 21
Ruler: Mercury; Body: Arms and
hands, lungs; Element: Air
Life is definitely moving forward.
Thank the heavens! New opportunities are finally peaking through. You are on the
move right from the start of the month. While July may be experienced as
"wobbly" with lots of adjusting to do, you have to admit great progress is being
made. Insecurities holding you back? Acknowledge your feelings, don't let them
stop you. Experience under your belt is all that's needed for confidence and
momentum to grow. For every lack, shortfall, or shortcoming, there is an upside,
a plus and an opportunity waiting to be grabbed. Focus on what's lit up, alive
and buzzing. It will breeze you through the uncertainties and rough spots.
Planetary influences put you happily on the upswing for the rest of the year.
You begin the month concentrating on
financial, security and sharing issues. You may be considering making changes in
personnel or partners but are not ready to take action. You need to take a “wait
and see” attitude for a specific amount of time. Since you have so much talent
for “multi-tasking,” you may not have a clear picture of how much you have taken
on as compared with what others do, but lately you may be feeling the effects
and wondering what to do. Around the 7th is a financial opportunity and the New
Moon on the 10th in your money house relieves some of the tension affording a
new direction or idea. Around the 10th you enjoy romance and/or entertainment.
Around the 22nd you teach, perform or otherwise show your skills. Around the
Full Moon on the 24th, you are in your element enjoying people who are
interesting and intelligent and who are fun to be
with.
Cancer June 22 to July 22
Ruler: Moon; Body: Stomach, breasts,
solar plexus; Element: Water
On a personal mission? Show 'em what
you are made of. You have a large resource pool to draw from; some of it comes
as news to you. Shooting for the moon? Recent new activities, attitudes and
feelings give you more reason to get up in the morning. Allow ample margins for
trial and error. The stars continue to pull you forward, just beyond your
comfort zone. It will be a month of ongoing adjustments. The setup may not
always be what you'd prefer. Continual improvement is shown. Still, no matter
where you go or how far you get, you'll be anxious about what's around the next
bend. Nothing is written in stone. Life is what you make of it. This is the gift
of the current stellar patterns. You are at the start of designing your future.
Make each moment count.
You begin the month with a new
resolve to rearrange your priorities regarding with whom you associate and how
much time you spend on various activities in and outside of your work activity.
Recent events have brought more clarity to you about your own worth and opinion
of yourself verses others opinions of you. Prior to the 7th, you may decide to
take extra time during the holiday to remove yourself from your normal routine
and spend time on your own or with those who love and understand you so that you
return to work with a renewed spirit. The New Moon on the 10th in your birth
sign is the beginning of your solar year – a time to set personal goals and they
have more power if you write them down. By the 17th, you are focused on
beautification of your home, which you value highly. After the 22nd you are
conscious of how thankful you are for your talents, abilities and what you have
accomplished.
Leo July 23 to August 22
Ruler: Sun; Body: Heart, spinal
column, spleen, duodenum; Element: Fire
The month of Cancer is traditionally
a good time to get off the spinning wheel and take a rest. You need spiritual,
psychological and physical replenishing. Honor inner rhythms. Time on your own
can be inspirational, creative, comforting. Sinful temptations? Fantasizing is
definitely the safer and better way to go. Coveting? If you are still in desire
mode beyond a reasonable wait and take stock period, then by all means go for
it. Action planet Mars moves into Leo by mid month, while the Sun re-energizes
your sign by July 22. Rev up the engines now. It's full throttle next
month.
You begin the month preparing for
changes in your home and/or work routine which will be happening over the next
few months. During the holiday, you could decide to travel or may be checking
out places to relocate. The New Moon in your house of emotional history will
bring up memories from the past which relate to current situations. If you can
forgive your self as well as others, let go and go on with your life, this can
be a cathartic exercise. If you do not, it could have a negative affect on your
health. Take care of yourself. Around the 17th you are able to communicate your
thoughts and feelings to achieve a win/win outcome. After the 22nd there is a
renewed sense of self pride. You could have a new hair style or purchase new
clothing. Around the 24th, you receive positive input of appreciation and
support from personal partners and/or professional
associates.
Virgo August 23 to
September 22
Ruler: Mercury; Body: Intestines,
spleen, abdominal cavity; Element: Earth
The Saturn/Pluto opposition that has
plagued you over this past year is now a receding influence. While Saturn
continues to make you work harder and longer for those well-deserved rewards, at
least you can read the writing on the wall. There is a destination and you have
the added determination to get there, beautifully I might add. Experiment. This
is a time of enormous and ongoing personal growth. Foundations/anchors you are
currently building are meant to support you through the long term. You care and
it shows. Find more time to enjoy socializing with good friends and family.
Vacationing - nearby or returning to favorite haunts, visiting home and/or
receiving visitors - ah, summer.
You begin the month focused on
development of a creative hobby which could turn into a business. You may be
receiving work as the result of a public presentation and may be trying to
balance this with prior commitments. After the 7th and around the New Moon on
the 10th, you have new work associates or are meeting new friends. Around the
17th, you are focused on balancing the need for personal relationships with your
work life. After the 22nd, a little private time is in order. Virgos think while
they clean, so clearing out a corner of the basement or organizing shelves in
the kitchen is a healing and mentally refreshing exercise, which can bring
clarity regarding an emotional situation. The Full Moon on the 24th would be a
good time to connect with friends in a prayer circle or other support group to
add energy to the personal resolutions you have
made.
Libra September 23 to
October 23
Ruler: Venus; Body: Kidneys,
adrenals, skin urethras; Element: Air
Put priority on personal
needs/interests, stay present in the moment and you'll experience the best of
both worlds. When you are happy, you simply have more to give. The stars are in
okay shape; optimum is not quite available. You will have to shift a little to
the left or right in order to catch the best of the stellar rays. The New Moon
influence on July 9th could launch an exciting new cycle. Could be love, could
be money, could be simply good fun. Try a game of chance but don't gamble your
life away. Mars moves into Leo July 13, a week prior to Mercury and the Sun.
These sunny influences bring increased satisfaction as the month comes to close
and we head into August.
Your priority during the holiday
could be to organize your home, particularly if your business is there. After
the 7th and around the New Moon on the 10th your focus turns to your public or
professional interactions. This could be a new job or doing the same work with
new associates or leadership. If you have stuck to the previous agenda during
the early part of the month, you could be wonderfully balanced (what Libras
need) by the 17th. After the 22nd, you feel comfortable with the pace of the new
work or social group. But be a little cautious about sharing information
regarding your personal life because not everyone is as friendly as they seem.
Inform on an as-need basis only. Around the Full Moon on the 24th is a good time
for romantic interests, having fun with children, entertainment or a creative
hobby. A friend could become a lover now or a previous relationship
return.
Scorpio October 24 to
November 22
Ruler: Mars/Pluto; Body: Generative
organs, nasal bone, bladder, colon; Element:
Water
The concentration of planetary
energies in a compatible water sign feeds your soul, your mind and your heart
very nicely. What a great time to be taking a vacation. Even if you aren't
lounging in a tropical paradise, your psyche feels more relaxed. Romance is
thriving for some. The stars keep you growing, on the move, reinventing
yourself. Take advantage of synchronistic events around the New Moon July 10th.
Follow spur of the moment inspirations and you will point yourself in the right
direction. Put yourself in set up mode this month. As Leo energies take over,
you will be asking for more from the stars and they will be asking more from
you.
You begin the month aware that you
need to take control in communications. If you are a leader, then you must
maintain order in your work group. At this time, you may also be aware that you
need training in leadership or a specialty area of expertise. This may not be
happy news, but try to be honest with yourself to enhance future opportunities.
After the 7th and in particular around the New Moon on the 10th is a good time
to begin. You could also be considering fitting in a short trip or vacation
after the holiday weekend rather than before. Around the 17th, you are
considering ways in which to achieve balance, more honesty and win/win outcomes
with others. After the 22nd others could see a positive change in your
leadership skills or professional image. Around the Full Moon on the 24th is a
good time to entertain friends or family at home or to go somewhere just for
fun.
Sagittarius November 23 to
December 21
Ruler: Jupiter; Body: Hips, sacral
region, sciatic nerves; Element: Fire
Back to the beginning is a good
place for you. Trace your roots, your ancestry, your previous steps. A review is
in order. Aim to get yourself reconnected. The New Moon influence around July
9th can be a time of starting over. A new psychological, emotional, physical, or
financial base is the anchor you need and desire. Whether within your soul, or
in reality, a new residence is comforting. Do the inner work now. Confront your
insecurities, take practical steps to getting yourself poised and settled. As
planetary energies move into Leo mid month and beyond, that usual dynamic
performer returns to the stage. You can look forward to what comes next with
great delight.
You begin the month working out the
details of discussions regarding finances which occurred during the previous
weeks. You could be considering education or special schooling as well as a
vacation, projects in the home and the needs of a partner in the budget. You
also need to consider time and energy commitments as well as money. After the
7th, there is more money to work with and the New Moon on the 10th brings the
opportunity for a new direction in all areas of sharing. Around the 17th, you
connect with people who will work toward balance, harmony and a win/win outcome.
And you can add humor to the mix. After the 22nd and in particular at the Full
Moon on the 24th, you have the chance to lead, train, present information or
minister to others. You should find the group intelligent, intuitive and
supportive but challenging you to achieve your
best.
Capricorn December 22 to
January 20
Ruler: Saturn; Body: Knees, hair,
joints, bones; Element: Earth
We aren't asking for much. Just
everything you have and then some. Good thing you have much to contribute and
share. Immerse yourself with totality of spirit. Your heart is being opened in
new ways. Along with the good stuff come insecurities, uncertainties and
vulnerabilities. Acknowledge this and continue to take big steps. The New Moon
around July 9th brings a karmic threshold and the opportunity to create
something new. You are attracting exactly what you need, even if it doesn't
always look like it in the moment. Take time to really listen and observe. Place
yourself in another's shoes. Try on a new pair yourself. You are discovering and
growing at a rapid pace. Keep up the good work. As planetary energies move into
Leo next month you will be gaining more confidence and
certainty.
You are currently focused on
organizing yourself rather than others. This process will require that you value
and appreciate yourself for who you are and what you have accomplished. Remember
that as a leader and person in charge you cannot please everyone. If you have a
creative hobby or means of artistic expression, spending time on that would be
helpful now. After the 7th and particularly around the New Moon on the 10th,
people in your life will be more supportive but also expect a lot. Around the
17th is a good time to negotiate a positive, balanced and fair outcome in a
project or issue as long as no one becomes too emotional. After the 22nd, you
are considering an investment or special purchase. Remember to make the decision
based on what is best for you and not on what you think others need. The clearer
you are on your values, the easier you can communicate your
thoughts.
Aquarius January 21 to
February 18
Ruler: Saturn/Uranus; Body:
Circulation, lower leg, teeth; Element:
Air
Consider this month as incubation
time. Think, study, research, do journal work. Write post it notes and put them
in obvious spots where you continually see them. Clean your closets, weed your
garden and clear your mind. Go to yoga. At the beach or in the tub, let the
soothing sounds of water heal and relax you. Seek counseling, a mentor or a good
friend/family member to share with. Invest in your physical, mental and
spiritual health. Looking to the long road ahead? Don't let anxieties build. Let
the universe keep track of the clock. Divine order is always on your side.
Follow inspirations of the moment. Honor inner rhythms. Go when you feel like
it, stop when you sense the signal. Action planet Mars moves into sunny Leo mid
month, but give yourself a start up time frame. Stellar influences flash the
bright green light as August arrives.
You begin the month assessing
what happened during the holiday weekend, particularly in regard to friends and
organizations to which you belong. The Solar Eclipse on the 10th falls in your
house of children, entertainment, creative talents and romance requiring focus
and bringing the likelihood of major change in one or more of these areas during
the next year. Around the 14th you could show appreciation to or receive praise
or important input from personal or business partners. Around the 21st you begin
to take action toward changing your home and/or work locations. The Lunar
Eclipse on the 24th occurs in your house of emotional memories. In the sign of
Capricorn it relates to the need to be perfect or working constantly to prove
yourself. This could send you on a journey for the next six months in which you
consider who is in control – your higher self or the old parental
scripts.
Pisces February 19 to
March 20
Ruler: Jupiter/Neptune; Body: Feet,
lungs, toes; Element: Water
The month is saturated with
potential. It's time to ask for more - from yourself, from the universe. Getting
started? Self-empowerment, drive, initiative, courage, talent - you definitely
have what it takes. Yes, there is a learning curve. Easy to read signals let you
know how to play it, when to play it. For some, romance is budding. For some,
watching the children grow is where the greatest glory lies. For some, becoming
a new parent adds joy. Those in creative or performing arts have ample
opportunity to strut and bask. Enjoy the simple pleasures of summertime fun.
Devote quality time to loved ones. Get away when you can. Build on the present
and know the path ahead is growing brighter, happier and more fulfilling.
You begin the month considering an
opportunity for professional involvement. It is likely to involve children,
sports, hobbies, entertainment or a creative interest. You may also need some
education or a training course to be prepared and could take action to achieve
this after the 7th or particularly around the New Moon on the 10th. Although you
are very committed to your responsibilities at home and to your family, there is
an increasing need inside yourself to have some autonomy and a vehicle for
self-actualization. Cinderella (or Cinderfella), it may be time to buy that
briefcase. Around the 17th you review what it would cost in time, money and
energy to invest in yourself. After the 22nd is a good time to take on a
creative project or make home improvements. Around the 24th, you could feel a
new inner light begin to shine as you do something for yourself for a
change.

PSYCHOMETRY
Everything is energy. Just as when
we touch a glass with our hands we leave fingerprints on that glass even though
we can't see them, with the right equipment these fingerprints can be detected
and analyzed. In much the same manner strong emotion, feeling, the essence of
who we are is often transferred into objects.
I have found in my years of teaching
that one of the easiest ways to learn how to expand your own awareness's is to
train yourself to become sensitive to the vibrational residue which is left
behind by people and emotionally powerful situations. The technical word for
this is psychometry. Psychometry put plainly is the art of feeling vibrations in
objects and making some sort of sense of them.
For instance, a piece of jewelry
which you wear often, whether it be a watch or a ring, even your car keys, which
are often in your possession on a daily basis, becomes highly charged with the
energy emitted from your auric field. It is possible for someone to hold your
watch or ring or car keys and, in a meditative state of mind, become receptive
to the energy in these objects. They become so receptive to the energy in these
objects that they can draw conclusions from them. This is also possible with the
substance of paper, especially if something has been hand written on it.
If you purchase estate jewelry or
inherit jewelry from other members of your family, it is good to be aware that
you are also carrying the vibration of that person. I remember being very
confused one time when I was practicing psychometry in my early student years. I
had a very lovely ring in a Tiffany setting and it was very prized by the woman
for whom I was reading. I had the feeling that the owner of the ring had lost a
child at about seven or eight in a freak accident, that the child had light
colored hair, and I had impressions of the state of
If you work with someone who is
going to do a psychometry reading for you, or if you are reading for someone
else, make sure that they are the only person who wears the jewelry. If you
inherit or buy some jewelry and you are not sure of the vibration of the
original owner, simply running that jewelry under cool running water will
cleanse the vibration and you can make the piece more your own.
Psychometry is often used in police
work, often when the standard methods have failed to produce. Most police
departments employ a psychic when they are
desperate.
That would have been a difficult
situation for a student to be in. Fortunately I knew that all the information
would be there if I could be patient enough to just let it come. Patience and
perseverance are two of the secrets of psychic receptivity. Another secret is
the condition of your hands.
THE TECHNIQUE IS IN THE
HANDS
One thing that I would like to
remind you of is the fact that there are many charkas in your hands. There is a
major one in the palm area but there are strong minor chakras in the tips of
each of your fingers. These chakras are places of energy exchange. When you hold
the object in your hand, experiment by shifting it from hand to hand and
touching it with your fingertips. In this way you will be able to determine
where you are most receptive to the energy coming from the object. Some people
like to do this with their eyes open, others prefer their eyes to be closed,
thus shutting out all distractions except the feeling of the energy.
Another hint along these lines is
the use of a pumice stone. This is a stone which can be found in most drug
stores. It is made from lava and used cosmetically to rid the hands and feet of
rough skin. Regular use of this will soften your hands and increase the
sensitivity. For some reason physical calluses over the areas of the chakras
decrease or distort the flow of energy.
If psychometry is an area where you
seem to have some talent, you may want to rub your hands a few times a week with
a pumice stone and use a nice natural lotion to help keep your hands soft and
sensitive. Especially in the beginning, I feel it is very helpful if your hands
are sensitive to touch.
One way you can increase your
sensitivity to touch is to be more aware of what you are touching. You will hear
a lot in these lessons about being in the moment, or being in the now. In this
hurry up world we are often on sensory overload. Many of us are in situations
where phones are ringing, TV or music is playing in the background, people are
talking to us about one thing while we try to accomplish another. We have
learned to shut out most distractions as a matter of survival. Now we must learn
to open up again. We must learn to focus on what we are doing at the moment. We
must learn to notice what we are seeing and touching. It is our nature to be
sensitive beings. We are especially tactile. Just see how much a baby loves to
be touched if you have any doubt of this.
The next time you pet an animal or
repot a plant or simply pick up the mail, observe your actions. Say to yourself,
I am holding this envelope in my hands, what does it feel like? If there are
many envelopes in the mail close your eyes and feel each one. You may discover
that each piece of mail has a different texture. You will discover the
difference in the "feelings" from a birthday card or a bill. Try this with your
eyes closed. It is great confirmation when you can give an accurate report,
especially when you can convince yourself that there are no visual clues.
WHY EVEN TRY ANY OF THIS AT
ALL?
All of these are merely interesting
parlor tricks which at the best teach us that there is much more to the universe
than we may be aware of. The real purpose of mastering them is that they lead us
to our inner spiritual guidance. All the universe is energy and that energy is
constantly trying to communicate with us. It loves us. It wants to lead us to
our greater good.
This is why it is so necessary to
meditate daily. Meditation lets us slow down enough to hear when God speaks to
us. One of the ways that communication could come is psychometry.
Psychometry has finer aspects too.
It can provide a doorway into other dimensions, other planes. This is where
Billets come in. A Billet is a piece of paper which is energized by the seeker.
The idea of billets was made popular by Spiritualists. The classic form is to
write the name of three beings from the spirit world. These beings can be either
dead relatives or Spirit Guides. Sometimes personal questions are also asked on
the paper. The paper is then folded up and collected for the medium or psychic.
If you hold the paper in a receptive
way, it will speak to you. You may get impressions of spirit guides, you may get
the answer to the question which was asked. With very little practice you will
get something. Try it with your friends. It is good to try to practice with
people you don't know well, but practice with friends is better than no practice
at all. Besides, conditions in the world change so quickly these days that even
good friends can hold a few surprises.
Suppose you are about to buy
insurance or a new vehicle. Ask if you can have the contract to look over for a
day or so. Then when you are very calm, sit in a comfortable place and let your
mind calm down. Feel the papers. Be aware of any sensations you feel in the
physical. Did you tighten up? Maybe there's a reason. Did you feel relaxed and
safe? What pictures come into your mind? Do you like holding the paper? Ask
yourself if the person making out this paper is dealing with you honestly. Trust
yourself. Your responses will be correct 85% of the time. The other 15% you were
probably unsure of and guessed wrong.
True and accurate psychic
impressions come from a place of peace inside of you. As long as you maintain
that place of peace the objects will communicate with you freely and easily.
Usually what happens is you start out getting clear impressions and then you
notice what you are doing. This ability doesn't fit your model of who you are.
Oops! What was that last impression.....and then your id takes over. After
teaching psychic development for 30 years I am certain that when error occurs,
this is how it happens.
Psychic ability comes from the
creative nature. Unfortunately creativity is not an encouraged attribute in our
culture, or in many cultures for that matter. Most of us are taught that to
conform is desirable. Schools, churches and families encourage us to toe the
line or get with the program. Work rewards company men. However, in psychic work
uniqueness is necessary. NO two psychic will read a situation or an individual
in an identical way. Both may be accurate, but the subject will be approached
from the psychic's unique perception.
HEALING
HANDS
One of the benefits of meeting
people who share your interest is that it gives you someone to practice with.
Hands-on healing is often a comfortable place to start. Some of you may find
that you are VERY TALENTED in this area. Over the years it has been my
observation that an army of healers is on this planet. It has also been my
observation that an army of healers is needed. We don't have enough, or I should
say we don't have enough with the courage to use their craft.
In the palms of your hands are two
medium sized chakras. If you rub your hands lightly together and hold them about
six inches apart, gradually bringing them together until they are about two
inches apart; you will feel the energy. Feel it with your sense of touch. DON'T
FEEL IT WITH YOUR HEAD. Close your eyes if you need to. Use the pumice stone if
you need to, but as your sense of touch expands it leads naturally to your
intuitive senses as well.
I can't tell you why this is true. I
can only say that my teachers told me it would work. I in turn have used these
same techniques with my students. All I can say is they work. Perhaps there are
healers out there that can tell you why. I will be the first to confess that my
knowledge of Healing is limited. What I do know I will share with you.
First, expand your sense of touch.
This can be done by paying attention when you touch things all day long. Feel
the car keys in your hand. Experience the joy of touching your children or your
pets. Consciously FEEL your world. This also helps you to remain in the moment.
After you have expanded your sense
of touch and experienced feeling your own energy, find a friend to practice
with. Have your friend sit sideways in a straight back chair. The idea is to
have all the chakra areas open to your energy. If you start a comfortable arm's
length above the head of your friend and slowly lower your open palms, you will
feel your friends energy. By experimenting and slowly moving your hands through
the aura of someone, you will become as sensitive to the touch of that energy as
you are to the touch of something more physical. Practice produces results. For
some of you the results may be astounding. For some, no matter how hard you
practice the results are merely pleasant. Your talent may lie in another area.
The next thing that is needed is
INTENTION. You have to have a desire to heal. I know that sounds simple, but it
requires that you let go of the focus on yourself and focus on your friend. You
have to pay attention to what comes into your mind as you are moving your hands.
Your mind can't be on what you need to do next. It must be present in the
moment, focused, suspending judgment and projecting unconditional love.
Remember, you are the Channel of the Healing. The energy that comes through you
heals. You are the vehicle of that energy. Whether or not the Healing occurs
depends on the strength of the energy and the receptivity of the client.
Strength of the Energy depends on
how well you can open yourself up to let it in. The healer works in a kind of
standing meditation. The focus is on the breath and the breath breathes love to
the client. When thoughts intrude that do not have to do with the experience of
healing let them go, as though they were attached to a helium balloon and return
to the act of opening to the energy. If you can, visualize the energy coming in
the top of your head and through your heart and out your hands. At the same time
imagine some of that energy going through your feet into the earth, returning up
through your tail bone to your heart and out your hands. Visualization isn't
necessary, but it does intensify the energy.
Now as to the second component, the
receptivity of the client. This is an interesting factor, but one that needs to
be looked at. Many who say outwardly that they desire to be healed sometimes,
subconsciously, aren't ready to let go of their condition. The body is one of
the ways we receive communication. Often times when the body appears to
malfunction it is because it has a message for us. It may be important to
understand the underlying issue before the body can let go of the problem.
The following are exercises that you
may find beneficial:
Exercise
One
1.Sit quietly in a comfortable
chair. 2.Have a piece of jewelry in your hands (preferably not your own).
3.Follow the Steps of the Meditation exercise in Lesson 2. 4.When you are
sufficiently receptive, let your fingers explore the object. 5.FEEL the object
for about ten minutes. 6.Express any thoughts that came to you during this time.
If the owner is present ask for feedback.
Exercise
Two
1.Pick up your mail, but don't look
at it. 2.Repeat Steps one and three of Exercise 1. 3.FEEL the mail. Let your
hands explore each piece, noting any sensations or thoughts that come to you
during this process. 4.Put aside any mail that has strong vibrations. 5.Open
your eyes and check out what you felt.
Exercise
Three
1.Choose a variety of objects which
have different textures. 2.Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. 3.Spend
several minutes exploring the difference in texture of each article. 4.Remain
aware of what each article feels like.
Use of hand lotion or the pumice
stone can enhance this exercise.
Exercise
Four
1.Spread a deck of ordinary playing
cards on top of a table, face down. 2.Rub your hands together to get the energy
moving. 3.Slowly move your hands over the top of the cards. 4.By sensing the
change in energy see if you can tell the red cards from the black cards.
Removal of the court cards can help in the beginning. Later you will be able
to sense their different feel too.
Exercise
Five
1.Rub your hands together. 2.Hold
your hands palms facing each other about two feet apart. 3.Slowly bring your
hands towards each other. 4.Notice any change of temperature, pressure or
tingling sensation you may feel. 5.This is your own energy field.
Exercise
Six
1.Seat a companion in a straight
back chair or a stool so that their back is facing you. 2.Rub your hands
together. 3.Extend your arms full above their head palms down, hands slightly
wider than your shoulders. 4.Slowly lower your hands toward the head of your
companion. 5.Notice any change of temperature, pressure of sensation as you
lower your hands. 6.As you approach your companions aura you will feel a slight
resistance. 7.Repeat this exercise as you stand facing the side of your
companion. One hand at the front and one hand at the back. 8.Notice any changes
which occur, especially around the areas of the chakras.
These exercises have been designed
to help get you in touch with energy. Their are many advanced studies which will
help you with techniques. I will not make any judgments as to which would be
best for you. Your own Higher Self will lead you in that direction if it is for
you. The best healers I have ever known have followed their hearts. Remember,
this is not your first life and very probably you learned these techniques long
ago, perhaps you even taught them. So if you feel inspired, trust yourself. That
is the real key and with practice you will learn to recognize your own inner
communications. TRUST YOURSELF !
CANDLE
MAGIC
1 One of the simplest of magical arts which comes under
the heading of natural magic is candle burning. It is simple
because it employs
little ritual and few ceremonial artifacts. The theatrical props of
candle magic can be
purchased at any department store and its rituals can be practiced in any
sitting room or bedroom.
2 Most of us have performed our first act of candle
magic by the time we are two years old. Blowing out the tiny
candles on our first
birthday cake and making a wish is pure magic. This childhood custom is
based on the three magical
principals of
concentration, will power and visualization. In simple terms, the child who
wants his wish to come true
has to concentrate
(blow out the candles), visualize the end result (make a wish) and hope that it
will come true( will
power).
3 The size and shape of the candles you use is
unimportant, although highly decorative, extra large, or
unusually shaped
candles will not be suitable as these may create distractions when the
magician wants to concentrate on
the important work in
hand. Most magicians prefer to use candles of standard or uniform
size if possible. Those which
are sold in different
colors for domestic use are ideal.
4 The candles you use for any type of magical use
should be virgin, that is unused. Under no circumstances use a
candle which has
already adorned a dinner table or been used as a bedroom candle or
night-light. There is a very good
occult reason for not
using anything but virgin materials in magic.Vibrations picked up by
secondhand materials or
equipment may disturb
your workings and negate their effectiveness.
5 Some magicians who are artistically inclined prefer to make
their own candles for ritual and magical use. This is a
very practical
exercise because not only does it impregnate the candle with your own
personal vibrations, but the mere
act of making your
own candle is magically potent. Specialist shops sell candle wax and molds
together with
wicks,
perfumes, and other equipment.
6 The hot wax is heated until liquid and then poured
into the mould through which a suitably sized wick has already
been threaded. The
wax is then left to cool and once is this has occurred the mould is
removed, leaving a perfectly formed
candle. Special
oil-soluble dyes and perfumes can be added to the wax before the cooling process
is complete to provide
suitable colors and
scents for a particular magical ritual. Craft shops which sell candlemaking
supplies can also provide
do-it-yourself books
explaining the technicalities of the art to the
beginner.
7
Once you have purchased or made your ritual candle it has to be oiled or
'dressed' before burning. The purpose of
dressing the candle
is to establish a psychic link between it and the magician through a primal
sensory experience. By
physically touching
the candle during the dressing procedure, you are charging it with our own
personal
vibrations
and also concentrating the desire of your magical act into the wax.
The candle is becoming an extension of the
magician's mental
power and life energy.
8 When you dress a candle for magical use, imagine that it is
a psychic magnet with a North and a South pole. Rub
the oil into the
candle beginning at the top or North end and work downwards to the half-way
point. Always brush in the
same direction
downwards. This process is then repeated by beginning at the bottom
or south end and working up to the
middle.
9 The best type of oils to use for dressing candles
are natural ones which can be obtained quite easily. Some occult
suppliers will
provide candle magic oils with exotic names. If the magician does not want to
use these, he can select
suitable oils or
perfumes from his own sources. The oil soluble perfumes sold by craft
shops for inclusion in candles
can be
recommended.
10 The candles you use can be colored in accordance with
the following magical
uses:
white- spirituality and
peace.
red- health, energy, strength, courage, sexual
potency.
pink- love, affection and
romance.
yellow- intellectualism, imagination, memory
and creativity
green- fertility, abundance, good luck and
harmony
blue-inspiration, occult wisdom, protection
and devotion
purple- Material wealth, higher psychic ability, spiritual power and
idealism
silver- clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy
and intuition
orange- ambition. career matters and the law.
11 If you wanted to use candle magic for healing, you
would select a red candle to burn. To pass an exam, burn a yellow
candle, to gain
esoteric knowledge burn a blue candle or for material gain, burn a purple
one. It is obvious
these
colors relate to
the signs of the zodiac and the
planetary forces.
12 The simplest form of candle magic is to
write the objective of your ritual on a virgin piece of paper.
You
can use color
paper which matches the candle. Write your petition on the paper
using a magical alphabet, such as
Theban, enchain,
Malachian,etc. As you write down what you want to accomplish through
candle magic-- a
new job, healing for a friend, a change of
residence, a new love affair, etc.-- visualize your dream coming true.
Visualize the circumstance under which you might be offered a new
job, imagine your employer telling you that your salary
has been increased or conjure up
a vision of your perfect love partner.
13 When you have completed writing down your petition, carefully
fold up the paper in a deliberately slow fashion.
Place the end of the
folded paper in the candle flame and set light to it. As you do this
concentrate once more on what
you want from
life.
14 When you have completed your ritual, allow the candle to have
completely burned away. You do not need to stay with
the candle after the
ritual, but make sure that is safe and that red-hot wax will not cause
damage or fire. Never
re-use a candle which
has been lit in any magical ritual. IT should only be used in that
ritual and then allowed to burn
away or be disposed
of afterwards.
15 If you are conducting a magical ritual which involves two
people (e.g. an absent healing for a person some distance
away) then the
second person can be symbolically represented during the ritual by another
candle. /all you
need to do is find
out the subject's birth date and burn the appropriate candle for that
zodiacal sign. These are as
follows-

Myths
When people lived with Nature, the
changing seasons had a great impact on
religious ceremonies. The Moon was
seen as a symbol of the Goddess.
Because of this, the light of the Moon was
considered magical, and a
source of energy. Wiccans often practice magick at
a Full Moon to tap into
this energy thought to exist at this
time.
Plutarch once said "Egyptian priests
called the Moon the "Mother of the
Universe," because the moon, "having the
light which makes moist and
pregnant, is promotive of the generation of
living beings.." The Gnostic
sect of Naassians believed in a primordial being
known as "the heavenly
horn of the moon." The Moon was the Great
Mother.
Menos meant "Moon" and "power" to
the Greeks. To the Romans, the morality
of the Moon Goddess was above that of
the Sun God.
In many cultures the Moon Goddess
and the Creatress were the
same.Polynesians called the Creatress Hina,
"Moon." She was the first
woman, and every woman is a wahine, made in the
image of Hina.
Scandinavians sometimes called the Creatress Mardoll, "Moon
Shining Over
the Sea."
Ashanti people had a generic term
used for all their deities, Boshun,
meaning Moon. Sioux Native Americans call
the moon The Old Woman Who Never
Dies. Iroquois call her " Eternal One."
Rulers in the Eritrean zone of
South Africa held the Goddesses name "Moon."
The Gaelic name of the Moon,
gealach, came from Gala or Galata, the original
Moon-Mother of Gaelic and
Gaulish tribes. Britain were called Albion, the
milk-white Moon-Goddess.
The Moon was called Metra, which means Mother ,
"whose love penetrated
everywhere." In the Basque language, the words for
deity and moon are the
same.
The root word for both "moon" and
"mind" is the Indo-European manas, mana,
or men, representing the Great
Mother's "wise blood" in women, governed by
the Moon. The derivative mania
used to mean ecstatic revelation, like
lunacy used to mean possession by
spirit of Luna, the Moon. To be
Moon-Touched or Moon-Struck meant to be
chosen by the Goddess.
When patriarchal thinkers belittled
the Goddess, these words came to mean
craziness.Orphic and Pythagorean sect
viewed the Moon as the home of the dead, a
female gate known as Yoni. Souls
passed through on the way to the paradise
fields of the stars. Greeks often
located the Elysian Fields, home of the
blessed dead, in the moon. The shoes
of Toman senators were decorated with
ivory crescents to show that after
death they would inhabit the Moon.
Roman religion taught that "the souls of
the just are purified in the
Moon." Wearing the crescent was "visual worship"
of the Goddess. That was
why the prophet Isaiah denounced the wearing of
lunar amulets by Zion
women.
Because the moon was the holder of
souls between reincarnations, it
sheltered both the dead and unborn, who were
one in the same. If a man
dreams of his own image in the Moon, he would
become the father of a son.
If a woman dreamed of her own image in the Moon,
she would have a
daughter.
The Moon Goddess created time, with
all its cycles of creation; growth,
decline, and destruction. This is why
ancient calendars were based on
phases of the moon and menstrual cycles. The
Moon still determines
agricultural work in some parts of India. Indonesian
moon priestesses were
responsible for finding the right phase of the moon for
every undertaking.
The Moon was to have been the
receptacle of menstrual blood by which each
mother formed the life of her
child. This sacred, taboo moon-fluid kept
even the Gods alive. The moon was
"the cup of the fluid of life immortal,
quickening the vegetable realm and
whatsoever grows in the sub-lunar
sphere, quickening also the immortals on
high."
The Moon was supposed to rule life
and death as well as the tides. People
living on the shores were convinced
that a baby could only be born on an
incoming tide and a person could not die
until the tide went out. It was
often said birth at a full tide or a full
moon meant a lucky life.
Girls in Scotland refused to wed on
anything but a Full Moon.
Witches invoked their Goddess by
"drawing down the Moon." It is said to be
a rite dating back to moon worship
in Thessaly, centuries before the
Christian era.The moon has an elliptical
orbit. This means that at times it is further
away from the earth than at
other times in its orbit. It also rotates on
its own axis in the same time
period as it revolves around the earth.
Because of this, we always see the
same face of the moon.
Are You The Person You Were Born To
Be?
an editorial by Alex Palermo
Who am I? Why am I here? What is the
meaning of my life?
Three questions, fourteen words, a
mere forty-three characters, that despite their brevity still manage to superbly
frame the central enigma of human existence. They have occurred to every one of
us at one time or another - sometimes as a brilliant bolt of lightning
illuminating our inner sky, sometimes as a fearsome tremor that shakes the very
foundations of our once safe, secure, little world, leaving behind only a gaping
void. Three questions, each that sooner or later demand an answer from each of
us - but offer by way of compensation the prize of a creative, revitalized, and,
above all, meaningful life. Sadly, in the course of the typical life, they go
unanswered as often as not.
Why, you ask? Spiritual insight is
profoundly liberating, and sometimes profoundly disorienting. In an instant it
can dramatically reshape the landscape of a life, and the landscapes of anyone
intimately linked to it. And humanity is essentially conservative. Throughout
the millennia, the prospect of change has largely been perceived as would an
uninvited, unwanted visitor: Draw the curtains, bar the door. Consider that the
oft-quoted, traditional Chinese adage "May you live in interesting times" was
intended as a curse, and not an exhortation to excitement and adventure! So make
no mistake: If you answer the three questions, your life, and the lives of
everyone around you, will surely change. Then why bother even asking the
questions at all, you may ask. To paraphrase one of my favorite movie
characters, you might as well ask why we go on
breathing.
Who are "you?" Honestly now, putting
aside for a moment the facade that each one of us hides behind, can you say for
certain? It's not an easy thing to know. In fact, we're not supposed to know.
>From the day we're born we're molded to conform to our society's idea of who
we're suppose to become. Our parents, relatives, teachers, and churches each
take a hand in our "assimilation," just as the extended communities of their
youth did with them. They don't mean us any harm; they doubtlessly want us to be
"happy." Indeed, the goal of this process is to guarantee that we fit neatly
into a larger whole and becomes a useful member of the group. By their lights,
they have our best interests in mind. All in all, seen from the perspective of a
group's ongoing stability, it's an eminently reasonable idea. Unfortunately, the
fatal assumption being made is that these communities are themselves healthy -
and therefore even remotely qualified to take on the awesome responsibility of
reshaping a soul to fit an externally appointed norm. History has not been kind
to societies guilty of such extraordinary hubris. Nazi Germany, imperial Japan,
South Africa, the Soviet Union, and even our own United States's checkered past
offer salient examples of the tragedy that results when an imperfect culture
attempts social engineering. When society itself is sick, otherwise good people
can be carried along by a tide of ignorance, fear and collective madness. But
the man or woman who has answered the questions, who truly knows who they are,
can stand against this tide, perhaps even stem it.
The conditioning process has its
origins in very same dark corner of the human psyche that gave birth to slavery.
Rather than starting from the premise that every soul choosing to be born has a
specific purpose (one that might well be fundamentally at odds with the
prevailing power structure of the group, yet crucial to its continuing
evolution), the 'assimilating' society seeks to write its own thoughts in the
minds of each succeeding generation. This is a direct legacy of the
not-so-distant era (still intact in many parts of the developing world) when
children were largely produced to: a) work the farm; b) take care of their
parents in old age. Seen in this context, children are little more than
extensions of their parents, in a sense their "property," with many obligations
and few rights - and absolutely no spiritual claim to self-determination. They
are strongly discouraged from deviating far from the collective norm. Those few
people that do choose to rebel become outcasts within their communities;.the
price of their re-integration is their psycho-spiritual death. We need only look
to the plight of 20th century homosexuals in America to see that there are still
powerful, coercive forces at work within our society, who ask nothing less than
the amputation of one's authenticity as the price for their acceptance. Of
course, the religious right's insistence on this price is understandable, even
sensible. Were they not to, imagine the whirlwind - with its accompanying gust
of chaos/change/creativity - that would result as closet doors swung open
throughout their ranks. They do not choose to live in "interesting times," even
if those times were to make them far more interesting
people.
Seen through the lens of ideal
productivity, the "assimilation" model is ultimately inefficient. Problems
inevitably arise when someone is asked to play a part that they're less than
ideally suited for. Even though painters and accountants both work with ruling
lines, would you really want a would-be Van Gogh preparing your taxes?
Certainly, some people bend better than others, managing to find fulfillment in
other areas - even if their lives never quite produce the gold they were capable
of. Others break and never quite recover, spending years mired in addictions,
self-destructive behavior and outright mental illness. And the would-be
Prometheuses among us go to their deaths opposing the collective inertia --while
we shiver the whole night long without the gift of their fire. Anyway you look
at it, it's not exactly a winning formula for human happiness.
If traditional cultural pressures
weren't enough, we now have to cope with an insidious modern addition to the
conditioning process -- advertising. Here we find commercial interests
attempting to mold us, but in a singularly manipulative and offensive fashion.
Not content to simply differentiate their product from its competitors, these
skillful propagandists seek to convince us that the key to our actual happiness
lies in the purchase of the right mouthwash, car or hair replacement system?
Laughable, isn't it? But bombarded night and day in this assault on our
judgment, we can easily swallow their propaganda hook, line and sinker -- and
find ourselves responding like Pavlov's dogs to the subliminal cues of puppet
masters whose sole purpose is to increase our receptivity to their product. They
want us conditioned and predictable, not free.
Ah, freedom. Americans worship
freedom. But do we really understand what it means to be free? Consider our
democracy. In election after election, politicians of both parties do their
utmost to play upon our fears, demonize their opponents, and ultimately rob the
electorate of its right to freely choose a government. How many of us can
truthfully claim that, when our time came to pull the lever, we voted the
'issues' rather than these carefully cultivated fears. I doubt this is what the
founders our democracy had in mind.
Without conscious awareness of the
influences shaping our actions, and an ability to act creatively rather than
reactively, can there be any such thing as freedom, or even free will? In truth,
what we typically experience during moments of crisis is a conditioned, hypnotic
state that masquerades as free will, but ultimately undermines our ability to
exercise choice, much less reclaim our identity -- and thus know the kind of
happiness that simply cannot be purchased at any price.
Truly, we would all be lost if
weren't for pain - whose sting, undiluted by Valium and recreational drugs of
all types, still retains the ability to wake us up. In the grip of agony, we
have a clear choice: To ask the three questions and consider how the lack of an
answer might have brought us to this awful place. Or we can take another drink,
find a more compliant lover, or buy a more expensive car or house. Choose the
former and, to echo Joseph Campbell, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all the
spiritual heroes who have ever walked the earth. Choose the latter, and we slide
ever more deeply into our society-induced coma, sentenced to face our ultimate
moment - at our final breath, when all the events of our life will pass before
our eyes - and have no other response but to sadly reflect: "I didn't know, I
never understood. What an opportunity, what a
waste."

Merry Meet Alex!
I have an
excellent protection meditation I use before ritual, but it takes
about 5
minutes to go through the visualization process. Is there anything
you can
recommend for an emergency or on the spot situation where
conditions for
meditation are less then optional? For example, at work or
traveling on the
train or bus?
Blessings!
Karris
Karris@modemac.com
Alex -
There are
several shielding techniques that can be done in quick spots such as these ...
but the best way is to visualize something that would make you feel
safe between you and that which opposes you ... such as a huge energy filter or
a wall of ice.
Greetings Alex,
I loved the
recent newsletter. So much info. My birthday is June 21 and I'm
turning 50
which is exciting and scary.
My question is: Last year you predicted that the
Clintons would divorce.
Do you still see this happening?
Brighid's
Blessing,

Now I feel she
needs him if she's going run for president herself ....if she doesn't or if she

would like to know if there is a
seventh (7th) sense. If so can you explain.
Thank
You

Dear Alex,
I want to thank
you for such incredibly juicy newsletters! I always print
them out and pore
over them. I feel very blessed to be one of the
subscribers because of the
quality and potency of the information that you
pass on.
I used to go
to the Tearoom when I lived in Boston, but I live on the other
side of the
state now and don't get over to Beantown as much as I would like
to. You
guys helped me through a very rough time and I am deeply grateful.
As I am
currently sweating through a Pluto transit of my natal sun and
Neptune, your
knowledge is of great solace.
Thank you again for your newsletters - I
look forward to the next one!
Yours Truly,
Crosby
Brooke
Alex-
Thanks Crosby I
always love getting feedback, good or bad :) ...and in fact to show my
appreciation ....you're this month's winner so call us up at 617 338 8100 to
arrange for a free half hour reading by phone.
Dear Alex,
Thanks to you and
the Tremont Tearoom for a very instructive, useful
newsletter. For several
years now I have come to know the utility of
astrology as an important tool
in our lives. I am grateful to have come to
know this discipline. However,
when reading the newsletter, or speaking to
individuals in the practice, I
can't help but think of all the basic
principals and information I still do
not know. Are there any texts you and
the tearoom would recommend for this
purpose? I know there are numerous
books and publications out there. It has
become overwhelming to choose.
Thanks Alex.
Arthur Kazianis
arthur.kazianis@state.ma.us
Alex-
There are several
great books ...but I personally recommend any by Robert Hand or Isabel Hickey .
Hi,
I'm not sure who will get this, but I just wanted to say thank you. Today
is my birthday, and I was sitting here at work wondering where I was going to be
able to find a good horoscope when your email arrived. It was nice to have
a horoscope delivered right to my in box and have such interesting reading
material as well. I have studied and practiced dowsing and the pendulum
and ouija off and on for a while, and it was so nice to read such a thorough
account of the history and practice, and Christianity's take on it. I am
also a practicing Christian and an amateur healer and I appreciate that you
approach "nontraditional" spirituality from so many
angles.
Thanks again, I look forward to your
newsletter each month. Keep up the good work.
Kelly
Alex-
Thank so much and
your welcome !

too bad :)
Keep your chin up
and stay positive.
I
love your newsletters
I've given the same Ouija Board advice in my life,
as I know they are a gateway for spirits ill-disposed.
I was very
impressed that you shared good, cautious advice with the public.
Take care,
Laurel Kirtz
Alex-
Thank you ....and
stay tuned for next month's Bigfoot article :)
Hi,
I
have heard so much about spirit guides, and I have my own story. I find this
wildly amusing, so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Years
ago, just as I was beginning to understand my path, I woke from a deep
sleep. As I rolled over, towards the door of my bedroom, I opened my eyes and
saw an old 'Brooklyn Jew' (I'm a Brooklyn girl, so it was fitting) suddenly
rise from a folded chair placed next to my bed. I said out loud, "Joe,
what are you doing here?" All this man said was, "Oh, shit." And he left,
with the chair! I had no idea who he was, yet I knew his name was Joe. I was
pretty aggravated that he was watching over me, and he seemed irritated that I
caught him. I haven't seen or heard from him since, yet I know this old
guy is around, and I feel his irascible presence often. Other than
that, I don't seem to have many 'spirit guides' around me. Any clue on why I
would have an old man, with a fedora and wrinkled raincoat, who is from the
'40's, irritably guiding me? And can you tell I'm a Virgo?! Thanks for reading
this!
Marianne
Alex-
No clue as to why
...sometimes we choose them , but more often they choose us ...maybe somewhere
deep inside...your just a regular Joe :)
