NEW BOOK by Albert Clayton Gaulden
Moments and Windstorms: Take Back Your Power

This ground-breaking book offers an in-depth journey through the author’s eye-opening addiction to alcohol and how he eventually got sober. Gaulden has written a number of books as well as being Founding Director of the Sedona Intensive, one of the country’s most highly regarded alternative personal growth programs.

The author shares all the ways God was leading and guiding him even when he was still drinking. “Most of us look at false paradigms to measure success in our lives. So much of where I went and the jobs I took helped me remember what I was to do as my life’s work.”

Gaulden’s book is divided into five parts. Each section explores different parts of his journey, incorporating all the places he’s been, the studies he’s made and the people he’s met. His point of view is that each client who sought his help made him a better person. At the end of the book, he has some daunting but hopeful words about the conditions of the planet Earth and what we need to do to survive as a race.

The Signs of the Time–That old Cosmic Devil, Mercury retrograde happens on March 23. Mercury goes retrograde at 16 degrees of Aries and will not go direct until April 15, when it will do so at 4 degrees of Aries. You know the drill. Be cautious about signing any legal documents, buying or selling real estate, and be extra diligent if traveling these three weeks. Anything that can trip you up, will. But it’s not the end of the world. Life goes on just pay close attention to all areas of your life.

There will be a Full Moon on March 31 at 10 degrees of Libra at 2:37 A.M. EDT. Full Moon can be tricky. They operate more deliberately on the inner planes. Full Moons also signal the end of waiting or that a certain deal or situation is dead in the water. Although this affects Libras more than the other signs, it is true for Scorpio, and also can give fits to other Cardinal Signs, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. Air Signs, Gemini and Aquarius will also benefit in a minor way.

There will be a New Moon at 26 degrees of Aries at 3:57 PM EDT on April 15. This is also the day that Mercury goes direct. For Fire and Air Signs this could be a momentous day particularly in business dealings.

Scorpios should be aware that Jupiter in Scorpio remains in retrograde motion. Although Jupiter is considered to be one of the more blessed planets, when retrograde, the positive benefits are withheld somewhat. Don’t fret or wring your hands. You will do well if you remember who you are and that your nature is one of the power signs of the Zodiac. You Scorpios can withstand anything.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 18)–Besides having to deal with Mercury retrograde in Aries until April 15 you must also find a way to do the things that need to be done. Your caution this Solar Cycle is to monitor your temper and tendency to let it boil over. Although this is your time of the year the long and bitter cold everywhere seems to have kicked your calibration in the solar plexus.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–Your calendar has a lot of travel and other interesting parties and get-togethers this month. Both lunations favor Leo and the Sun in Aries is an extra bonus. Known time to time to be somewhat of a reckless gambler be leery of the Stock Market. Everyone thinks this market is always going to go through the roof–not! We are in more tenuous times for investments than ever before. Don’t play the market unless you can afford to lose.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Sun in Aries and Uranus in the Sign of the Ram are great benefits to you this Solar Cycle. Both lunations are beneficial to you as well. If these were my transits I would spend more time alone in prayer and meditation. Your Sun Sign is best suited for spiritual studies and a lot of yoga classes. It is my humble opinion that Sagittarius is the Sign of God the Creator. It answers why Sag is the most restless of all signs. It is the journey to be with God that tires.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–It seems that you Bulls are in for all the celestial help you can handle this month. No sign is more dialed into where markets are than you are, but be careful because the Stock Market is going to keep on its roller coaster ride. Don’t forget to tithe and be generous with those who need a little of what you’ve got. Also, love is in the air so be judicious and wise about haste and you might find the love of your life.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–In spite of your ruling planet Mercury being retrograde and also in the incompatible sign of Aries as well, you may get the job offer of a lifetime. Reduce your need to criticize and analyze to death. New prospective employers don’t want to hear from you they want to know you are qualified to do the work. Whatever you do, don’t mess up another opportunity with irritable behavior.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–Mars, Saturn and Pluto are all in the Sign of the Goat this month. These are interesting aspects because Mars and Saturn together are like oil and water–they never mix. So during this month you have to be aware that the best laid and thought out plans may spring a leak. Pluto in the mix makes this a triumvirate of three strong personalities pulling in opposite directions. The addition of Pluto signals destruction ahead. This could be more in the world at large than personally for Capricorn. Tread lightly; real lightly.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–With your ruling planet Mercury retrograde for three weeks you better hold your hand rather than raise the stakes. Venus for the first week of this Solar Cycle in Aries will also give you a leg up. You are coming out of the darkness and into the bright lights of what lies ahead. If you stay true to you the rest of the world will like you just as you are.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–Venus-ruled Libras, start your engines as they say at NASCAR. You are finally going to prove that when the cards are stacked against you, ask for a fresh deck. And if your inability to make up your mind paralyzes you this Solar Cycle act like you are so versed in finding the courage inside you and make your move.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–You Water Bearers just might be catching a break after the harsh times you’ve endured the last few months. Being able to seek your own wise counsel is a hallmark of your sign. But when you are off base nothing or no one can help you. This month the Universe seems to be playing your song. And may I suggest that making amends may be in order from your confusing behavior under the Solar Eclipse New Moon on February 15 at 27 degrees of Aquarius. Check your nerve endings to see if you could alter insensitive behavior. Just saying!

Water Signs

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–Park your double-wide and put your feet up and let the rest of the world go wherever they can afford to roam. With the Full Moon in Libra and the New Moon in Aries–and since your ruler is the Moon–this month is not your get up and go time of the year. If you want to cook and have a small party, check the guest list like Santa Claus to see who you can abide for a delicious meal. Wait’ll next month–your kind of time in the sun.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–Jupiter may be retrograde for awhile longer but you don’t need to tarry whilst the planets are more in your favor. The best times of our lives are the tough ones because the journey and the effort we expend make us better. This is going to end up being the best year of your life; this month may drag and you may get discouraged but tap into your inner strength and laugh at the changes you made in you to succeed big time.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Since Neptune your ruling planet is in Pisces for umpteen more years you might want to check in with yourself and make sure you’re not making things up as you go. I used to wear a baseball cap which said, “Rewrite your script.” That’s different than living in a world of self-delusion. My suggestion is that you go back to keeping a Journal. Monitor your thoughts and your words. Need I remind you Fishes that you are the most creative sign in the zodiac? As Shakespeare wrote, “To thine ownself be true, and then it must follow as the day the night, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Couples Who Went to the Extreme to Save Their Marriage
An interview with Carl and Joyce Gioia in RedBook Magazine

When Joyce Gioia couldn’t think of anything else to save her marriage and solve the trust issues that were tearing her and her husband, Carl, apart, she decided to make an investment into what she hoped could be a life-long, loving marriage.They packed their bags and headed to the Sedona Intensive: A $16,000 week-long intensive therapy session that helps people release all self-destructive behaviors.

The purpose of this particular therapy was to help them become stronger individuals, and the counseling was never couple-based. In fact, they only saw each other once per morning at 7 a.m. when they attended a 12-step meeting. The meetings addressed addictions—but it had nothing to do with substance abuse—it was focused on things like work addictions and co-dependence issues.

Between the supervised journaling, visits with renowned mental health professionals, and their genuine will to make things work, Carl and Joyce were able to recover their relationship.

“I believed that the nature and the intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing a resolution in our marriage,” Joyce said. And she was right. By looking at each other as total individuals, they were able to discover what was most important to their spouse and cater to those specific needs. Two years have passed and they’re more in love than ever.

Q & A

RedBook – Explain what the Sedona intensive is. 

The Sedona Intensive is a rigorous, weeklong self-exploration. During the week, through concentrated journaling and visits with mental and physical health professionals, we each invested a lot of effort and energy in self-discovery. This self-learning experience is designed and managed by well-respected psychologist Albert Gaulden and includes daily meeting with Albert to monitor progress and ensure results.

RedBook – How did you find out about it?

My brother, who is a nationally acclaimed Emergency Department physician, had gone through this experience with his wife Amber and highly recommended it to us.

RedBook – What did you do at the Sedona intensive? 

Every day, we began by attending a 12-Step Meeting with AA. Then, we had a rotating schedule of appointments with a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a yoga instructor, and/or an energy-balancing professional, and of course, Albert. In our “spare” time, we took independent hikes, though the spectacular Sedona canyons.

RedBook – What made you decide to go to this? 

We decided to do it, because nothing else seemed to be working to resolve our trust issues. I believed that the nature and intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing resolution of our marriage.

RedBook – How did it change your relationship?

We both worked very hard to discover why we engaged in self-destructive behaviors that stood in the way of our sharing the loving relationship we both thought possible. Two years later, we are more in love than ever before.

RedBook – Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, absolutely, if the two people are prepared to approach the experience with open hearts and minds and they are truly interested in doing the work to strengthen the relationship.

Lindsay, as I said before, “I honestly do not know what else we might have done that would have been so effective in turning the relationship around”.

Joyce Gioia

From the Blog

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.”
