Astrology Newsletter: Virgo 2018

Enjoy the Virgo Newsletter for 2018!

The Signs of the Time–Let’s shout, “Hooray,” boys and girls. Mercury went direct on August 19. I would be remiss not to mention the ongoing purge and investigations to root out whomever and whatever had been attacking our Democracy with the new latter day evil tool, Internet Technology and CyberCrimes. These are perilous times and I remind everyone that each of us only has one vote. So in November, vote!

Mars will go direct in motion at 28 degrees of Capricorn on August 28. Saturn continues in retrograde until it goes direct at 02 degrees of Capricorn. Uranus is still in retrograde at 2 degrees of Taurus. Neptune is retrograde at 15 degrees of Pisces and Pluto is retrograde at 18 degrees of Capricorn, but will go direct in motion at 18 degrees of Capricorn on October 8. Note that all retrogrades are in Earth Signs except Neptune which is in a Water Sign, Pisces.

There will be a Full Moon at 03 degrees of Pisces on August 26. Full Moons are about “the end of the matter,” and affects Pisces majorly but other Water Signs, Cancer and Scorpio as well; Earth Signs will see the end of delays or something that simply was not meant to be.

There is a New Moon at 17 degrees of Virgo on September 9, which portends a new and exciting beginning for Virgos, as well as other Earth Signs, Taurus and Capricorn; and to a lesser degree, Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. I wanted to give the keywords for Virgo which are discriminating, critical, methodical, analytical, service and details.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 19)–Mars in Capricorn is not doing you any favors. However beginning September 12 your ruling planet goes into compatible Aquarius and you will be breathing easier again. Mars in Aquarius will require that you see what you can do to help others rather than live for yourself and what you think you need. The Kabbalah would suggest that you ask three people every day, “What can I do for you?” The good news is now that Mars is going to leave the Sign of Capricorn you will feel less hemmed in and able to feel like your true self. Always be open to the needs of others.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)–One would think that having Mercury in Leo for the past few weeks would be right down your island of desire. However, since Mercury was retrograde until August 19, you didn’t benefit much from the retrograde Mercury as did no other Sign. But Mercury will be in Leo until September 6 which gives you a few weeks to gambol and frolic as the fun lover you are. But then you face Venus in Scorpio beginning September 9 as well as Jupiter in Scorpio all month. Scorpio and you are not Zodiac’s closest allies. Things will pick up when the Sun goes into Libra September 22.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Since the world is topsy turvy right now, Sag will not escape all of life’s challenges. However, you are the one sign that can act up and act out and make a speedy recovery. The bigger upset this month is that the lunations hex you not bless you. The bottom line is to go inside where it is safe to weigh and balance and wait until the smoke and fog clear so you can see your way to where you need to go. It is only a few months until your ruling planet Jupiter sidles into Sagittarius. Patience and endurance, you Archers!

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–It seems as if the Universe has conspired to give you everything your heart desires this Solar Cycle. Check the list of planets in Signs in the opening of this commentary and there is nothing to block you or hold you back. The caveat with Taurus is always about being a bit too controlling and in relationships being a bit too sensitive. But it is always reassuring to have celestial alignment like you will enjoy this month. It would also be a great time to see how and where you can share your good fortune with those less fortunate and needier.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–Now you can grab the golden ring with the magnificent New Moon at 17 degrees of Virgo on September 9. Check out the Keywords for you above and apply them to your daily life. As you know Virgo is often called a “head trip” but the Celestial World reminds us that your Sign is needed to bring balance to the world. There are career opportunities for the next sixty days. Rework and strengthen your resume. Opportunity calls you from many directions.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–This is certainly another Solar Cycle when you Goats are getting ready to show what the world needs that only a Capricorn can get done. With Mars, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn for awhile you have the TNT of high energy capable of making anything happen, especially concepts, paradigms and ideas to benefit Mankind. We are in another cycle of retooling and reshaping what we are going to need in the near future. Although the three planets in Capricorn are volatile, we are in such a life and time that needs what only you can create.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)–When your ruling planet Mercury goes direct in motion on August 19 you are in good stead with the Leo factor until September 6 when Mercury bunny hops into Virgo, one of the nemesis of the Zodiac for you. There is not a lot of good news for you this month but when the Sun goes into Libra in 30 days you will be back in business. The good part of Gemini is that there are two of you to motor through day-to-day whatever lands on your plate. I always said that no Sign gets a daily do-over quite like you Twins. Go inside to your inner sanctum where you can abide happily until the outer world is more in tune with you and your true nature.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 22)–There is an old Sufi legend that says when the Universe through planetary moment stops a Sign in it tracks, it is a great time to go within and decide what is a keeper and what has to go. You are often referred to as the Great Emancipator and Masterful Negotiator. This month once again you are going to have to rely on yourself and the choices you make. There are too many planets obstructing you. However, with the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 the door is ajar for you to enter into some change to benefit you and others around you. Exert extreme caution, however.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–To be just and fair to you Water Bearers this month, the affects of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Aquarius will last until January 2019. You will feel like the earth is moving beneath your feet and carefully-laid plans have more than gone awry. The Wizard would advise you to nurture your inner world and not fight the inevitability that a relationship or career or misunderstanding has run its course and you are back at square one. There is an axiom that fits where you are: “Time heals all wounds.”

Water Signs

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)–With Mars and Saturn and Pluto opposing you this Solar Cycle you might want to stay home and stir the pot over which you have control. The hardest adversary you ever face is losing control over your kingdom and family and friends. Your nature is to be kind and loving and wanting everyone to be taken care of; you like to think that is your raison d’etre which is often your Achilles Heel. When the sound of someone’s voice or recall of a memory touches you, the floodgates open and you are powerless over your emotions. This month lay low and be true to you, but do not become enmeshed in the affairs of others who do not want your input.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–With Jupiter in direct motion for you Scorpions it is time to move forward with plans that have been delayed. The day-to-day caveat for you is to monitor the fear factor within yourself. Scorpio is known to see an enemy beneath every rock and eerie shadow figures that are simply figments of your imagination. You are reminded for the umpteenth time that you are Master of the Zodiac and loaded with alchemical powers to affect not only you but the world around you.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Neptune is considered one of the Outer Limits Planets which gives you insights and notions that are never available to other signs. Since Neptune is in your Pisces Sign for a long while perhaps you should pay closer attention to the sounds you hear and the ideas whose time has come. You might be writing or composing something; perhaps in your career you are responsible for bright ideas to promote products or services. You are in the apex of brilliance and clarity to get a lot of things done this Solar Cycle. Always be reminded that you are also susceptible to a touch of delusion. Keep your feet on the ground as you move forward.

Birmingham Holocaust Education Center Fund Raiser

Although I am not officially Jewish I am a devotee of the Holocaust Center in Birmingham, Alabama. My dear friend Cathy Ovson Friedman made me aware of BHEC and I decided I wanted to make friends of the Sedona Intensive aware of their unbelievably deep and abiding work for the  Center.

I encourage everyone to support this Center’s efforts to educate everyone about the work being done to make sure that through awareness of the horrors of the Holocaust the world will never have to survive such atrocities again.

The Sedona Intensive is making a donation to BHEC for $1,000.00.  Please join us in making a contribution as well.

Love and Gratitude, Albert Gaulden

More from their website: The Birmingham Holocaust Education Center (BHEC) seeks to educate the people of Alabama about the history of the Holocaust so that new generations will apply the lessons of the Holocaust to the construction of a more just, humane, and tolerant future. By preserving and sharing the stories of local Holocaust survivors and commemorating the events of the Holocaust and the lives of those who perished, the BHEC seeks to promote a moral and ethical response to prejudice, hatred, and indifference for the benefit of all humanity.

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.”
