note-to-self

You are always reading insights about you as well as what’s up with people and causes that we wholeheartedly support. But time to time people ask about who I am and how I feel about a lot of things that they have to deal with in their own lives. We will make changes to the photos and pictures every few months, so you will have bits and pieces about my take on me and what I value or what I know not to be true for me. I hope you enjoy the open door to me and my character. — Albert Gaulden

“Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing,
leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.”

–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Signs of the Time–Water Bearers will still be reeling from the affects of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on August 18 at 25 degrees of Aquarius. All other Fixed Signs, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio will be affected as well. Air Signs, Gemini and Libra should have a powerful release from issues that have kept them stuck in a situation that has served its purpose.

September 1 there will be a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 9 degrees of Virgo allowing you Virgos to move from criticism to compassion for yourself and others. You will also experience personal healing at a profound level. Other Earth Signs, Capricorn and Virgo as well as Water Signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will feel the effects of this phenomenon. Solar eclipses tend to create new beginnings and bright new opportunities. Usually, they are exciting, are often very positive, and bring news out of the blue.

There will be a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 24 degrees of Pisces on September 16. Lunar Eclipses often make us aware of the passage of time, and make us sentimental. A full moon lunar eclipse is almost always an emotional time for they bring on final endings. Memories and dreams come up to the surface, and sometimes we feel sentimental. Other Water Signs and Earth Signs might feel the blowback of this celestial occurrence.

The ancients believed that eclipses were omens of monumental proportions. The stargazers and prescient advisors to potentates and kings felt there might be an overthrow of government or the birth or death of someone close to the subject matter. This stargazer says it’s time to change the one you can–yourself.

The reason most of us have a challenge to these omen ideas is that we are so attached to the consciousness of the Lower World. Everything that happens to us good or bad is the Upper World’s way to get us to where we need to go. The notions of the Lower World will keep us stuck in the haziness and unproductive trance state it was designed to do.

Mercury will be retrograde beginning August 31 and will go direct in motion on September 22 at 14 degrees of Virgo. Mercury retrograde gets blamed for lots of things that go wrong in our lives. Does it deserve all the attention? For those of you who don’t know about this astrological “happening,” here’s the lowdown in layman’s terms: The planet Mercury rules communication, travel, contracts, automobiles, and such. It goes in a retrograde motion—or motion that makes it appear to be going backwards in the night sky—three times a year for approximately three weeks at a time. When Mercury is retrograde, there’s usually much confusion. People forget little things. Delays and frustrations abound. It is best not to sign important contracts–don’t buy or sell a house or leave or start a new job during this phenomenon. I had a close friend once who bought her dream house under Mercury retrograde. Ten months later she had to sell it in a divorce agreement.

Fire Signs

fireARIES (March 19 – April 18)–This Solar Cycle could be a bit tricky for you Rams.  With Venus in Libra for the month of September you might find that you are being too risky with financial opportunities. Just when you think a stock or a business venture is a lock, there are factors that you were not able to see. Keep in mind the old saw, “If it sounds too good to be true…” Well, you know how that advice ends. But you will have benefitted from the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on August 18 at 25 degrees of Aquarius. The high road for you this month is to continue to be the Moses of the Zodiac–be adventuresome and daring, but keep your pocket book shut.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–There is an order to the universe, so they say. The order of this Solar Cycle for you is to realize that your best month is behind you. Now Mother Earth blesses Virgos. But be aware that Venus in Libra this month is very rewarding for you. You might be able to make a few wise and profitable moves–but nothing too rash. So many people are up in arms with the political insanity that it takes one detached from the nuttiness to keep one’s equilibrium. Perhaps it’s time for you to learn that you have one vote, one choice how to spend or save money and your health is your concern. Tend to your own business.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–By now you certainly know by experience that Jupiter is squaring you from the sign of Virgo. Neptune in Pisces continues to do the same. And with Saturn having gone direct on August 13 at 9 degrees of Sagittarius, the School of Life is back in session. All of us go through these trials and difficulties of Saturn. What all of these apparent celestial hardships are trying to teach you is to break the trance state of your ego. Its pleasure chest has a heavy price to pay. If you are drinking too much, check in with a good therapist to stop. Overspending, pay off and save.  If you are spooning with too many lovers, take a break from entanglement. Pray and meditate your way to clarity.

Earth Signs

earthTAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–The best way to recover from the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 25 degrees of Aquarius on August 18 is to stick to what you’ve got. You are being benefitted by the generosity of Jupiter in Virgo as well as Pluto in Capricorn. But when your ruling planet, Venus is in Libra, this won’t be a time for your clearest thinking. Your nature is to be cautious. You live by the axiom, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” However it might serve you a lot by turning your will and your life over to the guidance of the Upper World. The best is waiting for you if you can break the trance state your ego has put you under. “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–With Jupiter in Virgo and a New Moon on September 1 at 9 degrees of Virgo, you ladies and gentlemen are going to feel like you are rolling in clover. Your Virgo Cycle of the year is designed to let you catch your breath and feel as if all’s right in the world. We would be remiss if we did not remind you that the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 24 degrees of Pisces will oppose you. Opposition seems like threats from the Upper World but they are really chances to reevaluate and see where you stand on a lot of issues affecting you. Also, Neptune in Pisces is making you face any delusions you’ve been under. Saturn is causing you trouble as well from Sagittarius. It’s just life, folks. Some days seem easier and others hard to take.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–There are several times a year when you are in high cotton–and the Virgo Solar cycle is just such an aspect. We remind you that your assignment when you chose to be reborn a Goat is to constantly mend what has been torn apart. A rumor floated centuries ago that the famous Noah of the Ark was a Capricorn. We all know what he did. I personally have my Moon in Taurus in the natural 10th House of Capricorn. With all due respect to the pitfalls and scams that most fall for, intuitively since sobriety I have been blessed with a wonderful BS detector. It is your boilerplate gift as well.

Air Signs

airGEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–So many great things are happening all around you. The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on August 18 at 25 degrees of Aquarius makes a great benefit to you Geminis. Mercury will be retrograde all September in Virgo in a square aspect to you. Caution with all matters contractual. Anything can wait 30 days for a decision. Venus in Libra is making a powerfully positive overlay for you. Money decisions will be judicious. Your overall attitude will be positive. You are always helped by Uranus in Aries. Be very aware that Neptune in Pisces can be problematic because this could create Fantasy Island effect for you. Saturn in Sagittarius will continue to wave a caution flag.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–You’re going to feel like you picked a bunch of four leaf clovers this month. Your ruling planet, Venus, is in Libra for the month of September. Not only that but Mars and Saturn in Sagittarius will add to the pot of good luck–Sag is one of your close pals in the scheme of celestial bodies. What always serves you well, if you remember, is that you were born to be fair and even in all your affairs. This is an innate quality that aides your learning no matter where planets are.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–You may still be in recovery from that Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Aquarius on August 18. The Moon in Libra in September will be a boon to your new state of being. With your ruler Uranus in the compatible sign of Aries your innate hurry-up momentum is on your side. The salvation of you Water Bearers is that you have always walked to the beat of an invisible and silent drummer. You are wired to make the proverbial lemons into meringue pie. Run into an immovable object, you switch directions and keep moving.

Water Signs

waterCANCER (June 20 – July 21)–Since Cancer is ruled by wherever the Moon is on any given day, you have ten or twelve days a month when you will feel disconnected and your emotions could waffle. This is called “living life on life’s terms.” Your innate nature is to have unusual highs and lows, but never let a therapist brand you bipolar just because she doesn’t understand the movement of planets and their affects on you. Best days for you this Solar Cycle are August 23, 24; 27, 28; September 1, 2; 6, 7; 15, 16; 19, 20. The Solar Eclipse New Moon on September 1 at 9 degrees of Virgo is a plus factor for you this month.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–Now that Mars is out of your sign and Jupiter blesses you from Virgo, continue as you were. You may get accused of being secretive from time to time when what’s going on is that you are a private investigator. You can spot a missed line in someone’s diatribe or intuit what someone is thinking without words to confirm. If you have aligned yourself with the Upper World you realize that your role in life is to heal and to show how to fall in accord with God’s will for all whose lives you touch. No matter what your role, know the Source of your Grace.

PISCES (February 18 – March 18)–September is the month for you to swim in the baptismal waters of fire. The Solar Eclipse New Moon on September 1 at 9 degrees of Virgo will oppose you. Learn to be open to a couple more of life’s lessons: be more organized and tend to business, especially finances. Then there is the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on September 16 at 25 degrees of Pisces. This is what some soothsayers refer to as double trouble. If you are becoming more detached from people, places and things you will sail through these aspects. If you are still a people pleaser and apt to fall for anything that comes your way, you will be in a world of hurt. Take stock and change the things you can.

What Our Clients Are Saying About The Sedona Intensive

“The Sedona Intensive was a life changing experience for me. I had been searching for happiness and serenity for over 20 years and as a result of the Intensive I found that I was looking in all the wrong places. I not only experienced what happiness and serenity truly are but now understand the process needed to maintain and enhance that state of being. It doesn’t mean that I don’t experience the ups and downs of life but what it does mean is that those downs do not even come close to impacting me the way they used to. There is now a presence of mind that provides clarity and purpose that did not exist for me prior to the Intensive.

It is impossible to put a value on such a quality of life enhancing experience that the Sedona Intensive provides the person willing to do the work.It is by far the most significant thing I have done in my 62 years.

I came across a quote last week that summed up what I experienced and learned while attending the Sedona Intensive – ‘Once you stop clinging and let things be, you’ll be free’ -Bodhidharma (440ce – 528 ce), the Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma: A Bilingual Edition.”
