Astrology Newsletter: Virgo 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 Virgo Newsletter for 2017!

The Signs of the Time–Most of us are still reeling from the powerful Solar Eclipse New Moon on August 21. Nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Our sober friends remind us to trust the Creator and clean house. Remember, Eclipses’ affects remain powerful and transformative until the next ones.

There will be a Full Moon at 13 degrees of Pisces on September 6. Full Moons are about endings and that means cessation of a lot of troubling people, places and things in our lives. Most affected are Pisces and Virgo. The New Moon at 27 degrees of Virgo occurs on September 19. New Moon have riveting and more often positive affects for all Virgos as well as other earth signs, Capricorn and Taurus and to a minor affect with water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Mercury is retrograde until September 5th when it goes direct in motion at 28 degrees of Leo. We all like to see how all the celestial movements affect us, but never forget that we live in a world of 7+ billion people. The caution is always to be cautious and don’t sign documents, leave or take a new job, move or sell anything that can come back to haunt you. During the retrograde, stay put and continue to change what you can in yourself.

There will be a lot of upheaval in our political system. As with the world at large all of us have to be responsible not only for what we say but what we do, or don’t do, to create havoc and confusion. Uranus and Pluto continue in retrograde at this time. The upside of this is that the heavy demands of these two outer planets are somewhat diminished. I am reminded that we are never given more than we can bear.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 19)–There are times when certain signs seem to be in a cycle of anything goes. This has certainly been true for you Rams. With both Lunar and Solar Eclipses in August in positive alignment with Aries all changes seem to give you the benefit of the doubt. However, you still have to consider that Jupiter in Libra is opposing you. Oppositions from Jupiter can make you feel that nothing that harm you or get in your way to whatever you are trying to do. This is seen at this time as over-optimism. Uranus is still in Aries and that unpredictable planet can upset any apple cart. Pluto in Capricorn is a square that you must consider. Proceed with caution and be able to backtrack or cancel anything without reprisal to you or your bottom line.

LEO (July 23 – August 21)–Last but not least this month are the preeners, dreamers and oftentimes screamers of the Zodiac, the lions and lionesses. Unfortunately for you with the Lunar and Solar Eclipses, the first opposing you and the other sitting on top of your head, you may be in for the ride of your life. Some forecasters are saying that this one is more impelling than any such eclipse in the last 38 years. This is the time of your life to take an inventory. Run it by someone you don’t ordinarily hunt or drink with and listen to the feedback. Now is the time to realize that man or woman was not meant to live by the kaching of the all-mighty dollar. This is the time of your life to see what you value, the heart and soul exposed for an overhaul if you need to a reconnection to the Divine and not Wall Street.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Uranus in Aries will figure strongly in your workplace this month. What this celestial connection means that from here on out you will begin to benefit from the toughest lessons life has to teach you. Rather than just being the sign of the Zodiac that says everything unfiltered and oftentimes senseless–now you will begin to embrace a way of thinking and sharing that will help change you and the world at large. You will not always have to give up your tendency to rove and discover. Soon you will carry a new and more world-changing message that can benefit all of us.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–For those of you who survived the upset and unexpected problems from those eclipses in August, you are now in complete alignment with the Sun and personal planets in Virgo. Mercury will stabilize your thinking on September 9th when Mercury enters the compatible sign of Virgo. However your ruling planet Venus will be in Leo throughout this Solar Cycle which you know can be double trouble. But on September 19th it will go into Virgo where it will remain until October 13th. The good news is that both the Full and New Moons will shine brightly over you Bulls. Thank God for the good and persevere with challenges.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 21)–From the 5th of September you Virgos will feel as if you have been let out of prison. From the 9th of the month Mercury, your ruling planet, having gone direct, you will feel as if you are hitting on all cylinders. But Mars will be in Virgo and that means that you might feel your head pounding with overload: should I do this or go there and change this? Yikes, what to do? Saturn will still be challenging you as well as Neptune in Pisces opposing you. Continue to breath, yoga will help with that. And begin your day in prayer and meditation, natural healers for what hurts.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–We thought of eager beaver when looking at what the stars have to say to you Goats. Curious types always want to know what symbols, but most often, animals are associated with Signs of the Zodiac. No sign is more persistent than are Capricorns. But once again, like with Scorpio’s delineation, there are positive and negative Goats. We address the higher sort because the others have so many lessons to learn to reach redemption, we must focus on those who reach toward the Light. This Solar Cycle you will make a lot of progress with personal planets in Virgo. Virgos know that the data must align with the project or it is a “no-go”.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)–Venus in Leo on August 25 will be a boon to your plans until September 18 when the Love Sign moseys into Virgo. Then be cautious and extra careful. There are always those who are going to try to trip you up with words versus thoughts. But remember we are in the Virgo Solar Cycle and you two signs are not the most compatible in the Zodiac. Mars will also give you an energy boost in Leo until September 5 when it goes into prissy and proper Virgo. Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries are dependable sign energies to help you stay exactly where you ought to be. However the Full and New Moons may rock your boat but not capsize it. Stay strong.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–You might want to think twice before you get yourself into another relationship you can’t get out of quick enough. Buying or selling real estate is also iffy during this Solar Cycle. The most important thing to remember is that your planet ruler Venus is in Cancer throughout this celestial month. But you will have Jupiter in Libra for a few more months. Saturn in Sagittarius is a bit of Elmer’s glue and the Sun in Leo is always one of your best Zodiacal allies. Since you are one of the slowest signs in the heavens to make up your mind, keep thinking it over and delay decisions for a month. Next month Venus will be in Leo. Praise God for the lions and lionesses.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–The hardest character trait for a Water Bearer to break is to change his or her mind. Once an Aquarian has set an idea or concept in stone that is how the world revolves for these unique sorts. However the counterintuitive suggestion we have for you this month is to reconsider choices made under duress. A Lunar Eclipse has been streaking through your head and heart in early August. It is time to sit with someone you trust and do a general review of where you are, and with whom. Some of us have made a lifetime of say, “Never,” only to have to reset logic and reason. Don’t miss out on something you will regret for several lifetimes.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)–Here we go again, a Full and New Moon that satisfies all the urges of you Crabs. With the personal planets in Virgo you might feel a bit too constrained–remember Virgos are like accountants counting every penny and rechecking their numbers. You will continue to have the square from Jupiter in Libra. This message is to watch going overboard with affections and affectations. Pluto in Capricorn is also wheedling into your home turf. In case you haven’t been keeping a journal or oiling up your psychic tendencies lately, things are amiss all around you, especially like in high places. Tend to your own business and continue to be Lord or Lady of your own manor.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–The inspiration for Scorpio is the appellation, ‘the sign for whom the light will never fail.’ Let’s not forget that all planets in signs have those who are dealing with dark and dangerous issues. Other signs are in the light and spreading higher consciousness to all they encounter. It is to the latter to whom this column is addressing. This is another banner month for you if you are willing to embrace the organized and feet-on-the-ground essence that this Solar Cycle requires. You will have the assistance of your ruling planet, Pluto in great alignment with you. Keep giving and you’ll keep getting all that the Upper World has to offer.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–This is always the time of year when you have a Full Moon in your Sun Sign which is asking that you review finances, diet, daily routines to see what you need to change. It is said of a Fish that we will eat anything put on our plate, especially a treat slathered in sugar and covered with syrup. This may be a bit easier overhaul since your ruling planet, Neptune is retrograde. No sign lives in magic and make-believe quite like Pisces. Start with a journal after you look over your bank balance, peruse your menus and step on a weight scale that has been recalibrated for accuracy. Look at what can happen: there will be less of you to love and more lettuce in the bank.

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.”
