Astrology Newsletter: Scorpio 2017

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

Enjoy the Scorpio Newsletter for 2017!

The Signs of the Time–There is a Full Moon at 11 degrees of Taurus on November 3. Major issues for Taurus and Scorpio generally will come to fruition at this time or the matter will simply end. Leo and Aquarius will be affected to a minor degree as well.

On November 18 there will be a New Moon at 26 degrees of Scorpio. New Moons are about new beginnings. All Water Signs, Cancer and Pisces will benefit and Earth Signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn will see a boost albeit in a less significant fashion. Mercury will be in Scorpio until November 5. Venus will be in Scorpio from November 7 throughout this Solar Cycle.

Jupiter in Scorpio aides and abets all that Scorpio is trying to accomplish. The more the energy is focused on the Collective the more success Scorpio will have at this time.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 19 – April 18)–With Uranus in Aries for awhile longer it seems as if good and lame ideas come at you all in one package. It’s as if there is little time to weigh and balance before the momentum shoves you into premature action. The other blockades are the conflict between the Scorpio planets and Uranus in Aries. The downside of this dueling combination is that even you battering Rams would like more time to consider what to do with any given idea. But the positive side of this conundrum is that you are forced to make a play under less than best circumstances and oftentimes it works out.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)–If you have been following this column for any length of time you know that this is one of the least beneficial Solar Cycles throughout the year. The best advice we can give you is to lay back and take it easy this month. Taking a short but enjoyable vacation would work as well as reviewing your portfolio as next month will be your attuned energy to get you wherever you want to go. For now, keep your head down and make no important investments.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–The heavy load of Saturn in Sagittarius means that you Archers have a lot of lessons still to learn. You’ll get some help with Venus in Libra until November 7 and Mars in Libra all this Solar Cycle. These Libra-based planets can pick up momentum for Sag. However, Mars in Libra can cause relationships to be difficult and somewhat abrasive. Your ruling planet, Jupiter transiting Scorpio tells us that your ongoing work involves secrets and dark-side stuff you don’t want to let go of.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–“Tick, tock, the mouse ran up the clock,” is how you will feel with two lunations affecting you this Solar Cycle. The Full Moon at 11 degrees of Taurus on November 3 will expose you to what is ending in your life as well as what new opportunities are cropping up. The New Moon on November 18 at 26 degrees of Scorpio will open new doors for you.  As I have said many times, opposite signs have a lot to teach one another. This Solar Cycle is one of those times when you and Scorpio can be smarter and wiser with cross-talk and taking a few new steps forward.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)–Both lunations, the Full Moon at 11 degrees of Taurus on November 3 and the New Moon on November 18 at 26 degrees of Scorpio will benefit you greatly. You are outed constantly for being too practical and literal. This Solar Cycle is a chance for you to engage your innate intuition to know what to do and when to do it. In case you haven’t noticed we are living in very precarious times and these times ask that you connect with the right course to take and it must come from within yourself.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–Here’s a little heads-up for you Goats. In a couple of months your ruling planet Saturn will move into Capricorn, where it will remain for two and a half years. Oh, Saturn will go back and forth for a few months, Capricorn, back to Sagittarius and then moving back into Capricorn. But what will happen in the outer world is that we will see things here at home and around the world steady and solidify, giving us all hope that there is a God and He is in charge.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)–This is not exactly your time to shine as all aspects to Gemini this Solar Cycle are either challenging or a non-issue anyway. Take note of Saturn in Sagittarius opposing you Twins. This has been going on for over two years and will end soon when Saturn goes in Capricorn. Venus in Libra will be trining you until November 7. This is a good swath of time to improve personal relationships. Mars in Libra will trine you throughout this Solar Cycle, but Mars can be abrasive. Since you have an opportunity to make positive strides with a friend or a mate don’t run into the buzz saw of Mars in Libra. Make the best of the month.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 23)–You have a few windows of opportunity to put the stamp of fair and balanced on everything you do this Solar Cycle. You just have to pick the right transits that lay within your realm of affectability. Venus will be in Libra until November 7. That gives you two weeks in this Scorpio-ruled 30 days. Beware of Mars in Libra throughout this Solar Cycle. Mars can cause a lot of problems in relationships, but with the two-week run of Venus in Libra you can avoid a lot of the pitfalls of being star-crossed. Pick your fights carefully. Oftentimes let an issue go rather than make it bigger than it ought to be.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–Unfortunately all lunations disfavor Aquarius. However, the personal planets in Libra will shine a brighter light on the Water Bearers this month. And, rather bigger than a breadbasket is that their ruling planet, Uranus, is in Aries also helping lift the spirits of Aquarius this month. But the most important thing going for you independent types this month is that you will always do what you feel is right for you that shares opportunity with everyone else in the Zodiac.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)–It looks like you Crabs hit pay dirt this month. With the Full Moon at 11 degrees of Taurus on November 3 and the New Moon at 26 degrees of Scorpio on November 18 you will soon be sitting on top of the Zodiac with a mound of success. And as Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” reminds us, “If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you;” you’ll do just fine. The niggling attribute that diminishes Cancers at every turn is the tendency to let emotions override sound judgment.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–If you have ever wanted 30 days of all-systems go for Scorpio, this is your Solar Cycle. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter forming a cosmic Trifecta for you masters of the Universe will make you feel as if you have reached the top of Mt. Vesuvius or won the lottery. If you have always wanted to jump into something new and exciting, this is the time of your life. If it sounds like there are no caution flags, you are right. This is a big jump in opportunity. What are you waiting for?

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–With your ruling planet Neptune in retrograde for one more month you might want to check your chopsticks to see that you are hitting the keys in a tuneful manner. With Saturn squaring you from Sagittarius awhile longer you might want to keep a low profile and practice your speech in the closet before you give it publicly. And never forget that you Fishes are apt to confuse a good idea with plagarism. Make sure that every word you put out there for the world to read is your own honest creation.

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.

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.”
