Love Astrology: How the Karma of Connection Affects YOUR Ability to Find True Love

I believe that everyone comes into the world with a soulmate or spiritual partner....pretty much picked out BEFORE you are born.

Or maybe said a bit better.....I believe that each of us choose who we are going to love in this lifetime, and the lessons we are supposed to learn from relationship are pretty much understood BEFORE we even meet up again.

There is very little chance, luck or coincidence in life....especially when it comes to matters of the heart, spiritual growth or the karma of connection.

Many first time readers here a term like "karma" and think it means something weird, exotic or "new age".

It doesn't. And every religion and spiritual tradition under the sun has some form of karmic teaching at the core of what it teaches, preaches and hopes it adherents will follow.

For example?

The basic law of "you reap what you sow" is pretty much present in ALL religious and spiritual teaching.

And karma is all about aligning outcomes, with actions. Cause and effect. You get what you give. What comes around GOES around. And so forth.

So how where do KARMA, astrology and LOVE intersect?

Quite simply, I believe that we come into this world with 2 primary purposes.

1 - To grow, evolve and develop spiritually
2 - To find, feel and OFFER true and unconditional love

I believe that the Universe knows who is the perfect spiritual match for each of us, and that it conspires to help us find, or be re-united with that perfect person, ONCE we open ourselves up to this truth.

The real reason most people will NOT find true love?

Because they listen to their heads....and NOT to their hearts. So many of us make decisions about love, lust, romance and relationship based on what our heads tell us is sensible, logical or looks good on "paper", without any real understanding of our true life purpose. (which I believe is to be re-untied with our one true love......before this lifetime is complete)

This is NOT just a new age concept by the way.....

All major religions teach us that we have a spiritual soulmate, and that our lives our incomplete unless we find them.

Judaism, for example....or Kabllah (the mystical form of judaism I practice) teaches us that we each have a "beshert" or spiritual soulmate a birth, and that our souls are literally split in half before we are born....and that our ONLY real job is to find our other half before we depart this life.

Not recognizing this can lead to a lifetime of unhappiness....and for settling for far less love than we truly deserve.

Most potentially unfortunate?

Many believe that your spiritual karma can be "re-set" and if you don't find your true spiritual soulmate, that someone else can step in and substitute in your place. (I don't know if I believe this is true.....but many do, and it's a pretty common motivator as well!)

The truth is, if you don't think that you've EVER met someone that is truly right for you, a love astrology reading can help light the way. So too can deep meditation, visualization, tarot, or even a karma or past life reading that reveals your spiritual journey to arrive at where you are right now.

And while all of this may SOUND hard to believe and understand, the truth is....with divorce rates hovering at 60% + and MOST couples admitting to being unhappy, the price you pay for setting for less than you deserve in love and life is NOT a price I'm willing to pay! (and those of us who believe in soul-mates and spiritual partnerships are FAR happier than our counterparts who don't!)

Dragon and Snake 'Tales' For Our Times (2012-14)

Enter The Dragon (and Snake)

The following short, true accounts illustrate the fundamental influence of the Dragon, the Snake and the 5 Elements (Wuxing) on Chinese philosophy, thought and history which continues unabated at this present time.

Serpent Surprise!

Is the Chinese Dragon a Myth a Man (or Woman) and why doesn't it have any wings? Via links to the Chinese Emperor the Dragon symbolises strength and dominance. A fortune, Wealth and Power symbol, the Eastern Dragon is considered good have around--quite unlike the horrid fire-breathing monster of ancient Western superstition. Chinese philosophy reports the Dragon as bringing good fortune, healthy 'Sheng Qi' and representing true learning and authority. The Snake, too. is considered s a fortuitous and lucky sign and symbol in China, entirely different from the wicked serpent of western biblical tradition.

Tales From The Wuxing

5 (Wu) is the Dragon's number-top of the 5 Animals (or 'Wuxing') rankings. Number 5, Dragon Year is a high point within the 12-Animal Cycle. Humble (no legs) Snake in following Year 6 the 'Lowest' of the 5 Animals represents an evolutionary journey ending, 12 months later with Lung (the Dragon's) re-appearance: Snake,Crane, Leopard, Tiger Dragon comprise the full list in ascending rank order. 'Wuxing means both 5 Animals and 5 Elements in Chinese although there are different Chinese characters for each term.

Yin and Yang

The Dragon is Yang and rules and tops the universal hierarchy of Animals. The vast, red/golden, roaring Flying Dragon (the rising Sun) in the East dominating the sky is Yang. Its Yin equivalent the Crimson Phoenix/Red Bird is the Sun at its height, in the South, at mid-day. In Chinese Culture the Dragon is the Male (he chases away the darkness) and the Phoenix is the Female (bright and full of warmth).

From Linguistics--The Chinese Character 'Lung'/Dragon

Chinese characters often incorporate graphic insights into their actual meaning.'Lung'/ Dragon depicts a human figure. Examine the Chinese Character for 'Dragon' carefully and you can see her/him and Chinese-style hat standing next to something looking suspiciously like a river plus irrigation channels, suggesting intensive cultivation.

Intensive cultivation provide supplies, stability and spare-time allowing civilisation to develop whilst encouraging intensive self-cultivation and development also. Lung, here is the human who does Kung Fu: flying (as in jumping-flying kicks) via will-power-hence we Chinese Kung Fu Dragons don't have any wings-we don't need them to fly.

'Enter The Meteor!'

Long-ago, the Chinese believe a giant meteor struck the Earth. This caused the crust to fracture into today's tectonic plates, starting the continental drift, ending the ' Day of the Dinosaurs' abruptly (as opposed to the 'gradual extinction' theory popular in the West) and causing dramatic changes ultimately bringing about human evolution. The Snake (without legs) goes back to the immediate aftermath of this huge convulsion and Humans (standing on two legs like 'Lung' the Dragon) represent the ultimate evolutionary outcome. The rest of the Chinese Zodiac represents the other Animals, in between the two. Humans' discovery of Metal enabled the fashioning of cooking utensils (early 'woks') allowing herbs and vegetables to be cooked at length. The resulting intake of nutrients brought about dramatic increases in our brain size, culminating in the eventual appearance of Modern Humanity (Homo Sapiens).

This illustrates aptly how knowledge of 5 Elements Theory (Wuxing) helps Humans to enjoy a more favourable relationship with their physical environment. Knowledge of this ' Famous Five': Earth, Metal, Water, Wood (the vegetables providing those key nutrients) and Fire according to Chinese belie, led to Man's ascent.

From Shaolin Kung Fu

Shaolin Kung Fu Maxim: 'Do not despise the humble Snake, one-day the Snake may become a strong and mighty Dragon!' is also worthy of deeper consideration.

In certain Shaolin Kung Fu styles beginners are considered 'Snakes' and required to undertake Snake-related training to acquire essential basic skills. Without limbs Snakes depend entirely in Internal Energies for movement and are therefore important symbols of the Qi-training which begins at this point. Many years of dedicated practice later, after rising through the ranks, one-day the same person might become a top 'Dragon' Grade, as some Shaolin styles term Advanced Black Sashes--a transformational journey in itself!

From History--The Legend of Madam White Snake or 'Sepently Knot!'

'Tang Dynasty Tragi-Comic Romance 'Lady White Snake,' is a true tale providing valuable insights into perceptions of the Snake in Chinese Culture. As with the Dragon, these differ considerably from our own. The graceful, enchanting Snake 'She' (pronounced 'Sher) is seen as a sign of good luck and fortune, in contrast to the wicked serpent of the West.

The Water Element figures significantly in this story and 2013-14 being a Yin Water Snake Year this account. has much contemporary relevance. The two Central Characters were, both born, in Snake Years-- but 24 years apart!. The woman, a Metal (White) Snake is 24 years the Man, a Water Snake's Senior. In 5 Elements Feng Shui metal produces Water and she is, literally, old enough to be his mother. The Water Element intrudes at key points: under bridges, carrying boats, in lakes, rivers, rainstorms and floods at vital times in the Tale most famously during a well-watered (drunken) episode during China's annual Dragon Boat Festival celebrations.

A Daoist whilst he is a Buddhist at a time of tensions between the two religions in China, she has excellent Kung Fu skills (Snake-Style of course) from Emei Shan (Mount Emei) 3rd Ranking Martial Temple after Song Shan (Shaolin) and Wu-Tai Shan (Pa Kua).

From Contemporary Chinese Cinema 'The Emperor'--Starring Jet LI

In his new film, which is a re-telling of the above tale, Jet Li plays Fa Hai Abbot of Jinshan Buddhist Temple who, opposed to their union, is determined to disrupt it! So why not improve your knowledge of Feng Shui, Astrology, Kung Fu, Chinese Literature and Cinema in one fell swoop by viewing Jet Li's new release!.

Two Year Animals and One Year Element

Yang Water is Year Element in Dragon Year (2012-13) Yin Water in Snake Year (2013-14) as the 5 Elements repeat twice in successive continuing 10-Year Cycles in first Yang then Yin modes. Water is associated with the emotions, wealth, communications and intrusiveness.

Dragon Years are noted for their volatility. Financial improvement for governments and individuals in positions of responsibility, as well as those who have experienced difficulties in the previous Dragon year are Snake Year features. Snake Years also raise awareness of environmental issues and the ways these will affect future generations. The 12 Animal Zodiac Cycle runs parallel to its 10 year Elemental 'colleague' producing 120 potential variations.

This Month Through the Lens of Uranian Astrology: April 2012 Part 2

April 2012 Part 2

Before I get to the individual days I have to bring your attention to a problematic planetary picture that will be in play all week long. It is Mars + Saturn = Hades, murder and violence in the world. The worse day will be on the 15th and16th. The Sun will be opposite Saturn on the 15th and Mercury on the cardinal axis on the 15th. If I were you I should be very careful driving on these two days as everyone's mind could be elsewhere rather than on the road. Now to each individual day.

We have one extra day to hold on to our money as April 15th falls on a Sunday. But, the 15th will have many working overtime to complete their tax forms, as the Sun will be opposite Saturn. The really fun day will be the 16th as Venus will be semi-square Saturn. At the same time situations in the world will be a little unsettled and a bit nasty, especially in the mid-east, as well in Asia. On US home front, the presidential campaign will be nasty on the 16th. Then on the 17th the mood lightens-up as Venus will be at the midpoint of Uranus and Jupiter. Also, Mercury will be 22? to Uranus and will be midpoint Jupiter and Pluto. With these planetary pictures the stock market should be up on the 17th. This positive financial picture should continue into the 18th as Venus moves to the midpoint of Jupiter and Pluto, and the Sun will be opposite Apollon - which means that the global financial picture looks positive on the 18th. At the end of the day on the 18th, situations get a little unstable as Mercury and the Sun moves to create a planetary picture with Uranus at the midpoint of the Sun and Uranus. The instability continues into the 19th as Mercury will be at the midpoint of Uranus and the cardinal axis and Hades. There will be unsettling news coming from the foreign financial markets, meanwhile, the presidential campaign will get really nasty as Venus will be 22? to Uranus. Then on the 20th, Mercury will be 22? to Saturn, some bad or depressing news can be relayed on this day. The financial markets can be a bit unstable as the midpoint between Venus and the Sun will be at the midpoint of Pluto and Uranus.

Unfortunately there is still a Mars + Saturn = the cardinal axis and Hades till the 30th of April. Expect some very nasty events to hatch!

Saturday the 21st begins on a new moon 22? to Pluto, passions will be running high today, both a positive as well as negative tone, so tread carefully. By mid to late afternoon, Mercury will be midpoint Venus and Saturn, so watch your spending. You may discover that what your thought was a good deal may turn out to be a big mistake. Plan a nice quiet evening at home either by oneself or with a loved one. Pop a DVD in the player and microwave some popcorn and let the transits pass. Some of you out there may be waking up with a hangover or a headache as Sunday morning the 22nd begins with Mercury still at the midpoint of Venus and Saturn. By late morning everything looks better as Mercury moves to conjunct Uranus and both will be making a 22? aspect to Apollon, go out with some friends and do something different and exciting. On Monday the 23rd you should see the financial markets up as Mercury will be at the midpoint of Venus and Apollon, this day should bring some positive news related to the foreign markets. On the 24th the Sun + Apollon = Venus. On this day there could be some positive international negotiations taking place.

On the other hand financial markets do not look too good as the planetary picture of the day is Jupiter + Saturn = Sun. on this day the financial picture will not look good. On the 25th Mercury + Neptune = Sun, pay very close attention to your bills and receipts and make sure you were not over charged on anything past or present. It is a day that there could be major gains as well as major losses as Sun + Neptune = Jupiter. It is a day to read between the lines as Mercury will conjunct Uranus and Venus will be making a 22? to the both planets. Passions can again run high, hormones can be soaring in the evening. The first half of Friday the 27th the computers will be working full out in the national and international stock markets as the midpoint between Sun and Mercury will equal Jupiter and the cardinal axis. Then by mid-day the news turns negative as the main planetary picture changes to Sun + Mercury = Saturn. Then, on the weekend of the 28th and 29th forget about your troubles and enjoy the spring weather. Monday the 30th will have Saturn at the midpoint of Sun and Mercury, and Venus will be at the midpoint of Saturn and the cardinal axis. Bad news could/should bring down the financial markets. For those who have not been cautious in their financial deals you could get find yourself rather unhappy this day.

Zodiac Birthstones: 'What's Your Stone, Baby?'

If there's one thing that everyone knows about astrology, it's their zodiac sign. If there's one thing everyone loves about learning, it's learning about their zodiac sign.

Why the fascination with them? Why do even the most scientific-minded among us have a deep-rooted curiosity when it comes to our own personal zodiac sign? Perhaps it's because they are pretty much the only things that might tell us something about ourselves that nothing else can. We aren't born with a manual on life, much to everyone's dismay; and we don't really get to know but a shadow of how the rest of the world perceives us.

We learn to crawl, walk, go to school, spend years in our respective careers, and so on. We are many things to many people: our schoolmates might see us as fun and entertaining, while our coworkers think we're a little on he gloomy side. The sad fact is that we are constantly being barraged with different sorts of information to be processed based on how we're treated and how we fit into the rest of the world.

Fortunately for all of us, the zodiac is readily available to help us out when we want to know why we are shy with the opposite sex, or can't stand the color orange; but do we really believe all that mythological and unscientific data of the astrologers?

More than likely.

We believe, many times, what we want to believe. Right or wrong, our zodiac sign answers questions about ourselves our friends and family can't. Symbols are seductive, so don't feel too bad if you consider yourself entirely logical yet own (and read) a few books on astrology.

Just as seductive as zodiac signs can be, their realistic counterparts are just as fascinating...

I mentioned earlier that everyone knows what their "sign" is. I'd be hard pressed to say that about birthstones. Yep, we've all got one or two of those as well.

Each birthstone, in theory, is supposed to represent each sign of the zodiac: turquoise for Sagittarius, emerald for Taurus, and so on. If you're not so much as an armchair astrologer, the reason behind the connections between signs and stones can seem outright weird. However, once you learn a bit about them, they all make absolute sense.

So now that you've made it this far, dear reader...why don't you find out what your birthstone is?

Is FATE Real? How to Avoid Being a Victim (Hint - Change Your Destiny!)

What is fate? Are we all destined to live certain lives, face unavoidable problems and struggle with things that we can't change.....no matter how hard we try? what role does destiny, or the idea that our lives follow a certain script or plan play in our spiritual growth and development? Or... is all of this just new age nonsense and silly to consider at all?

The truth is, regardless of what you believe, the idea of fate, free will and destiny has been debated by scientists, philosophers, religious thinkers, mystics and mediums for thousands of years.

You may THINK that you have the answer....the likelihood is, it's probably a lot more complex than any one person can know.

For example.....if you believe that psychic abilities are a well proven and documented fact (as I do) the question becomes:

If free will is true, can we alter or change the predictions made by psychic or clairvoyant readings?

Or, by virtue of something being seen or visualized by a psychic, is it destined to happen, exactly as described?

My own feeling is this:

Everyone has choice. There are certain forces that are in place that seem to suggest we are heading down a particular path, and that is what a psychic sees and then "predicts" (or more aptly, pictures) during a reading.

But, I believe we ALWAYS have a choice, and can always alter, change or re-route the course we're on, and to grow and mature spiritually and emotionally by making better decisions.

As a matter of fact...

I actually believe that the biggest and best reason to consult a clairvoyant, or get psychic advice in the first place, is to help improve the choices we do make. To alter and improve our destiny so to speak....by being foretold and forewarned about bad decisions we may otherwise make.

After all...

What good is getting a psychic reading or getting advance information if you aren't going to do anything with it?

Some people believe we are "robots".......following a script that is set and etched in stone.

I not only refuse to believe that, my personal experiences PROVE that it isn't true! I've had psychics predict things years and years in advance that have come to fruition, exactly as described, simply because I forgot about what I was told, or neglected to act on the advice. (not always bad things necessarily, but eerily accurate nonetheless)

I've also been told things that led me to take immediate action, and as a result, avoided a major health scare, or a relationship crisis or even a professional predicament that I didn't see coming....and would have been a big deal, had I not acted in advance.

So while I do believe in destiny, and I do believe that fate plays an important role in each of our lives, I don't believe the future is fixed. I believe that armed with the right insight, intuition and information.....you can tackle just about anything that's in front of you, and make it work to your BENEFIT, rather than the reverse!

The Taurus Personality Explained

In this article we're going to look at the typical personality traits of those born under the zodiac sign of Taurus. As a brief aside, however, I think it might be useful to briefly clarify what these terms actually mean.

After all, to many the zodiac itself is something of a mystery. This is not a subject taught in school! Let's begin with the basics: what does the word 'zodiac' actually mean? Well, this is actually a Greek word that literally means "Circle of animals". It should be noted that Libra is the only star sign not symbolized by a living creature, but instead we use a glyph of the scales.

By understanding the zodiac as a circle that is divided into twelve segments, we can get a clearer picture of how astrologers work. What is key, is the placement of planetary spheres within each segment, and the angles that are formed between them.

Okay, so to understand Taurus we first need to recount the mythology. Basically, Zeus disguised himself as a white bull and carried a woman called Europa over the sea to the island of Crete. Historians will have already realized that this woman eventually gave her name to the continent Europe!

Taurus traits are simple to understand. Such individuals are resilient, patient, persistent and reliable. They are trusting and caring in relationships. In fact, Taurus does place emphasis on cultivating successful, stable relationships. This star sign is regarded as the one that is most prone to hedonism. People with this star sign are often sensual people who like to feel rather than think.

Following on from this, Taurus is not an intellectual but someone who feels and uses their intuition to guide them. This trait can be a negative, however, as they are very reluctant to change their opinions about something, even in the face of contradictory evidence!

When it comes to work, these individuals are usually very good at practical, hands-on tasks. You can generally rely on Taurus to fix mechanical problems and other things of that nature.

Star signs rule different areas of the body, and Taurus oversees the throat and neck. Due to this, astrology draws the conclusion that these people must be liable to throat infections and asthma. Although there is no evidence to support this, I think Taurus can be at risk from being overweight but that can apply to any sign!

On the negative side, Venus rules Taurus. In of itself, this fact is not negative, but Taurus can be dispensed to jealousy and stubbornness. Taurus is slow to anger, but if provoked they will defend their territory like the bull.

Arianna Reveals a Cosmic Legend

Arianna

Would you like to know my Goddess name? It's Arianna, but if you are more comfortable continuing to call me Aries, do that for now. There's no hurry as I'll be radiating to you for thousands of years, all during the matriarch inspired eon. As you continue to link up with me, in time, you'll naturally make the shift from calling me Aries to Arianna.

Why Goddess

Just be sure to add Goddess, whether Aries or Arianna. It is most important that as we begin this matriarch era, the most loving expression of the matriarch energies light the way which is the Goddess. I promise you, you don't want to invoke the extremes, the manipulative feminine energy to begin the matriarch era. You want the best, the most loving aspect of the feminine energies in you to take hold and light the way.

Cosmic Legend of Beginnings

As my energies always spur you on to new beginnings, I'd like to convey to you one of my favorite legends about the inauguration of this sector of the universe.

Once upon a time (that's how they all start), a most handsome young man named Willy was mesmerized by a beautiful young woman named Lovey. Although Lovey felt the same attraction for Willy, she knew if she was too easy, it would spoil his fun of the chase.

Willy and Lovey

Willy was strong, powerful, courageous and most smart. Lovey, just like her name implies, was most loving as well as graceful, caring and incredibly intuitive. Once the chase was over and Willy believed he had won Lovey over, they began to dream and talk about their future.

Bubbling Over with Ideas

Like most young people, they were dissatisfied with those in charge and were sure they could do a better job if given the chance. They bubbled over with ideas of forwarding the advancement of the Universe and decided to take a big risk.

Great Central Sun

Willy and Lovey requested an audience with the Great Central Sun who is the Center of the Cosmos, the point of origin of all physical and spiritual creation in this cosmos. In other words, the Great Central Sun was the big boss then for the cosmos we reside in. They petitioned him to grant them a piece of the cosmos to homestead and let them try out their notions. Willy and Lovey's concepts sounded so delicious and exciting, the Great Central Sun readily said yes to a pilot project but most far away from the center of the Milky Way.

More Formal Please

The Great Central Sun did want them to become more formal, at least until they proved their theories to be most beneficial. Why didn't Willy just become Will, and Lovey just Love? Why not, thought Willy and Lovey, when they showed their worth, they could always revert if they wanted. Besides, in private, they could continue to be just Willy and Lovey with each other.

God and Goddess Titles

As well, the Great Central Sun bequeathed them the titles of God and Goddess to give them the stature he thought they would need. Willy became the God of Will and Lovey became the Goddess of Love.

No Interference

The Great Central Sun knew just where to send them, far away. That would ensure there would be no interference with the learning curve Willy and Lovey would be going through.

Duality of Will/Love

You guessed it; the elevated God of Will and the Goddess of Love were assigned to this segment of the cosmos which was virgin territory. Immediately, they emptied all existing energies, filling this slice of the cosmos with their two energies. Everything and everyone that would materialize would have at its core, the duality of Will/Love. What would make them unique would be the parts that would be activated and those still dormant.

Taking Turns

They would take turns, when the God of Will was in charge, a patriarch or a male dominated civilization would manifest. When the Goddess of Love was lighting the way, it would be a matriarch inspired era with the feminine characteristics being awakened. The God of Will began the process with a really big bang powered by all his force. He began to manifest the separate parts of their joint plan.

Zodiac Parents

You could say Willy and Lovey or the God of Will and the Goddess of Love are my parents, as I'm one of their manifestations, just like all the other zodiacs. I'm composed of both Will and Love, just like you. And just like you, if you have more Will, you would take on a male physical form. If you are composed more of feminine Love energy, you express yourself through a female body. However, even if in a female body, when the God of Will was leading the charge, your Will characteristics were being stimulated. There's so much more to the story, but this is probably enough for now.

The Transforming Power of Pluto in the Birth Chart

The last of the outer planets, Pluto's influence and significant power is a force we all have to go along with. Like everything in our Birth Charts, the more we understand the more we align to our inner being and source. It is important to grasp the meaning of your own personal Pluto so that you can appreciate its intention, which sometimes may seem painful, cruel, but so necessary of our own growth.

I equate Pluto with psychology, as it is to do with the mind and what is going on underneath. As the mind is the original source of our actions and attitudes, our thought forms and beliefs often keep us stuck on the wheel of repetition and in a prison of our own making. Pluto's aim is to release us from these old patterns. As we are creatures of habit we often see our liberation as a cruel force of fate, a betrayal or a loss of some kind. Pluto will take away anything that restricts our growth which then allows the energy to operate in a new way. A lot of our security is contained in established forms which we naturally hold on to. When these are destroyed or taken away we feel lost, a victim or powerless. Pluto is very much to do with power and this same power that pulled the rug from under our feet will also give us the Will-power to build again in a fresh way. It often seems that we have no choice with Pluto, as like death its actions are final.

Pluto can also work like a boil, bringing all the inflamed toxins up to the surface ready to burst and be released. Things in us that have been festering in the sub-conscious, been suppressed or kept secret will emerge and come to the surface when the time is ripe for us to deal with them. Although the time can never feel right and even may feel inappropriate. Our outworn attitudes and limited belief systems can also come up to bite us, as Pluto forces us to confront these patterns. This maybe in the form of other people, which will keep us in a victim mentality. However, by looking deeply within for reasons and answers is a much more productive way of working with Pluto.

Nature kills or destroys for the sake of growth, which from our limited perception often seems cruel. Pluto has this same quality and the more we grow in consciousness, the further we will be able to comprehend the essence of this transforming energy.

Pluto in the Birth Chart

Pluto's house position will show an area that will go through some transformation. We will be confronting old patterns of ego consciousness or personality traits that no longer serve us or that are interfering with our evolutionary growth, as this is Pluto's chief concern. Energy tied up in this area will be challenged and changed in some way. The sign will show what type of attitude may need to change. For example In Leo the fixed ego structure of pride or self-importance. In Virgo, earning a living may turn into a sense of service or in Libra relationships will come under scrutiny, highlighting the need to redefine and rebalance.

Being an outer planet it works on a mass conscious scale and its present passage through Capricorn is bringing to light wrongly managed and corrupt traditional structures. This is causing chaos with business and banking establishments, which is a strong Capricorn theme. Cut backs are also very apt for this present transit through Capricorn,especially as it has been spend, spend, spend when this planet travelled through Sagittarius! There will be much more to come up to the surface and like a boil it will eventually burst before transformation can and will take place. Like the Phoenix new and better structures will be built from the remnants of the old.

For those who have planets in Capricorn/Cancer polarity, will be forced to look at their own traditional and family structures, as some type of change will be taking place.

Aspects to Pluto in the Birth Chart

Pluto not only intensifies the area of a chart but any planets it touches by aspect. This planet, like all planets can be used negatively or positively, but Pluto, like no other, can go to the depths and the heights. The greatest sinners make the greatest saints because once this energy operates from to its original higher frequency,it works for the highest good of the whole.

Working with colour, red aspects, (squares and Oppositions), Pluto may be seen as authority. You may then try to impose your own authority or fight others in powerful positions. Alternatively you may use this to achieve your aims or to change things for the benefit of others.

With blue aspects, (trines and sextiles), you could willingly go along with the transformation. For example, with a logical acceptance that change must happen. Alternatively, blue aspects have a fixed quality within them, therefore you may think that you are right and have no need for change. It is often in situations like this that a strong Pluto transits moves you out of your complacency,usually kicking and screaming!

With green aspects, (semi-sextiles and quincunx), you will usually look for information that helps to give you 'knowhow' to a situation or problem. You may also see knowledge as power or seek higher knowledge to stretch your consciousness towards greater possibility.

The Month of Taurus, 2012

The Zodiac Month Ahead Growing Our Roots

What we can all expect from the forecast of our Zodiac skies, 19 April to 20 May.

A MEDITATION FOR TAURUS

"It must be kept in mind that Taurus is a sign of great reserve and retention, deep-rooted in the past. Taureans are fixed in purpose and plodding, possessing for the most part more endurance and a stronger body than individuals in other signs of the Zodiac. Being practical, and embodying the drive of silent determination and great perseverance, Taureans make concrete the energies of the earth. Their forte is endurance; their vice is obstinacy." ~John Jocelyn

Sun enters Taurus 19 April

As all Organized Signs promise, we now get "fixed" into the present season at hand. With the element of earth in this state, the roots of life become ever firmly planted as the heart listens to the request of this collective call. With the conscious aim of The Bull to bring forth security, the focus here turns to that of which we value, and what is of genuine worth within our lives. Embracing opportunities to establish, build and stabilize distinctly mark this passage to bring forth our patient and determined natures to unfold.

New Moon in Taurus 21 April

We find this to be the first time in 2012 where all inner planet energies are in forward motion agreement to invite a true sense of conservative, contented and resourceful new beginnings into our lives. Deep, sensuous and intuitive feelings are able to take flight- wherein by tapping into a rich and persistent instinct, we can imagine our roots penetrating into solid ground as gathering up initiations in the life is favored throughout 05 May. This is the last New Moon while Jupiter is still finishing up its' journey with The Bull, so expect some true growth to emerge here in ease.

Mercury enters Taurus 09 May

After all the excitement our Messenger pioneered within Aries, now it is time to slow the mental pace down and get serious into conventional, diplomatic and constructive methods of expression. Ideas come in limited capacities, in where, they are more pleased by deliberate and well-drilled concentration verses inspiration and spontaneity. Again, honing in on intuition grants the patient voice of Taurus to speak with the innate wisdom necessary to let the collective think in stability.

Venus goes Retrograde in Gemini 15 May

We last saw our planet of harmony and balance take up in review in Scorpio back in October of 2010. Now, she asks for our ultimate reflection where The Twins unite all communications within our Zodiac sky. While Venus in Retrograde is naturally pleased when we re-examine our relationships, finances and artistic pleasures- this passage will enjoy the intellectual process to do so. As collective affections may seem more superficial than spontaneous, remaining good-humored allows the sympathetic energy to clearly come through. Steer clear of luxury purchases, beauty enhancements and moving money with the intention of increasing it; rather be on the look out for ideal bargains and ways to reassess value in this area of the life until 27 June.

As Taurus patiently grows our true voice ringing in the sounds of value from the HEART, it roots our cores in security of what truly matters most: unlocking solid stability for the future upon our EARTH.

How to Remember Your Past Lives Without Hypnosis (And The Reason Why Regression Is Unreliable)

I know I'm in the minority here in the "new age" universe, but I don't think that that past life regression is all that optimal for uncovering past life memories. Yes, I know it's probably the most popular (and expensive) method, and that it's the sort of thing that makes the day time talk shows MUCH more interesting.

But in general, hypnosis has been proven to be a poor tool for all sorts of other things, and that "false memories" are a very realistic possibility whenever someone opens up their subconscious to suggestion. Children, for example... have been well known to come up with fabricated stories after being suggested something happened while in a light regression, and many adult patients have reported false memories much the same way.

As a matter of fact, most of the "serious" scientists who study past lives, reincarnation and believe that there is good evidence for both... TOTALLY discount past life regression completely as a source of proof.

I believe there are 3 better ways that are far more reliable for generating accurate past life memories that are much more trustworthy (and often much easier to validate).

1 - Using a guided visualization CD

I've had some very powerful breakthroughs using a very simple guided meditation program and my iPod. Not only does this help me relax and remember very vivid experiences that transcend this lifetime, I know with 100% certainty that anything I'm remembering is emanating from MY mind alone (no period of unconsciousness where it's possible that someone could accidentally (or intentionally) embed an image or memory that never happened).

2 - Meditation

If you practice meditation everyday your life WILL dramatically improve in far too many ways to count.

But, one of the biggest benefits of mediation are the psychic and paranormal experiences that come with the sort of spiritual development that meditating consistently creates.

I had my first past life memory while meditating a few years ago, and it's opened up a whole series of exceptional adventures thereafter. (including much better recall of many lifetimes, and a whole bunch of karmic connections as well)

3 - Past Life Astrological Readings, Tarot and Karma Readings Don't underestimate the value that a good psychic can have when it comes to helping you remember all sorts of things on the soul or spiritual level. This is probably the most affordable way to explore past lives and doesn't require anything other than a willingness to open up and LISTEN to what the reader has to say.

Tarot is particularly effective for this, but there are lots of unique approaches to past life readings that are very persuasive.

Personally?

I've had no less than 10 very accurate past life readings in just the last few years alone, and each one opens up a new door into aspects of my authentic self that are wild, exciting and a lot of fun!

How to Experience Your Past Lives From Home (And The Controversial Method I DON'T Recommend)

Is there any real evidence that past lives are real, or is the whole field dominated by new age nuts and people who will believe ANYTHING at all?

Good question! The truth is, as a psychic and paranormal publisher for over a decade, I can honestly tell you that there is no "niche" within the field that is as full of odd and eccentric points of view than reincarnation and past life research. And yet, most interestingly... it's probably the MOST strongly supported scientifically as well, with tons of great science and spiritual evidence BOTH suggesting that we DO live many lives and have many bodies.

The easiest way to experience your OWN past lives?

There are lots of great techniques that work wonderfully well. None of them are perfect, and they each have pros and cons associated with them, but if you are really interested... and adventurous, you CAN (and will) have past life memories very clearly and quite quickly as well.

The best techniques?

Guided meditation and visualization techniques are very effective for me personally. Using a pair of headphones, and a bit of guided imagery, I can now quickly and easily find myself in lifetimes that I truly remember in exquisite detail.

Do more traditional forms of mediation work as well?

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, all mediation is a great prerequisite to just about any psychic, intuitive or paranormal experience there is!

Other easy methods for past life recall?

Tarot card readings are very good for me as well. Any direct experience with a legitimate past life psychic or spiritual advisor can be very illuminating and can stimulate memories of previous incarnations very quickly. Some types of astrological insight, or karmic readings can jog, jolt or jiggle small details and deja vu experiences with amazing ease. As a matter of fact, the legendary 20th century psychic and healer Edgar Caycee did most of his past life readings while in a semi trance state by phone... and literally changed the lives (and spiritual destinies) of millions around the world as a result.

Dream journaling is a VERY powerful way to remember past lives, and I had one of my first very powerful memories years ago while asleep! (and yet I knew it was a very transformative experience and did NOT feel like a typical dream as I couldn't forget it for days thereafter)

The ONE past life method I don't recommend?

Regression therapy. Especially if you are just getting started, and aren't sure what you believe or can legitimately remember. Why is this method so controversial and NOT recommended, even though there are many famous practitioners? First, it's extremely expensive. (costing more than $300 an hour at a minimum, which brings many "quacks" into the field alone) Second, I don't think the memories are legitimate! It's been proven that hypnosis can create "false memory syndrome" very easily... and unless you are fully in control of the situation like you are in the methods I describe above, the lives you are "living" in the hypnotic state could as easily be coming from your subconscious, or hypnotic suggestion instead.

The bottom line?

There are many safe, exciting and fun ways to explore your past lives, without doing anything dangerous, weird or costly. (a good past life psychic can be had by phone for 20 dollars or less) Learning that you are an eternal and beautiful spiritual being having a very temporary "human" experience is very powerful and profound, and exploring your past lives is one of the very BEST ways of making that realization happen... and in a hurry!

Thumb Reading and Its Vitality in Palm Reading

The thumb reading in the field of palm reading has a specialty in predicting the nature and characters of a human being. This science of prognosis has been divided in to two parts such as: chirognomy and chiromancy. The prediction from the lines of palm is incomplete if the part of chirognomy is not covered while forecasting the fate of any individual. The art of chiromancy is confined with the lines of the hand only. It does not cover the shape and sizes of the palm. It is equally important to take the thumb, skin, fingers and nails into account while making the prediction.

Why the thumb is so vital in palmistry

Generally, we all know that the baby always keeps his thumb inside the palm. The dying patient or the person who is going to die keeps his thumb down which indicates there is no will power. When a person has got no thumb he will not be able to do any work. The thumb tells all about your will power and determination. The thumb was taken by Drona of Dara Savar in Mahabharat since Drona came to know that he will not be able to fight again and all his will power will get lost.

The types of thumb

There are many kinds of thumb in the study of palm reading such as: supple jointed thumb, stiff jointed thumb and clubbed thumb. The person brings the nature and character as per the thumb one possess. If someone is having stiff thumb, then he will be very active and quick in all his activities. The person will be more or less impulsive in all his undertaking. Generally speaking, when the thumb becomes stiff in the hand then it is an indication of strong will power and determination and person will never be satisfied unless his work is done.

When the thumb becomes supple then person will be less willed and more or less adjustable with any circumstance. Even such people may take advice of other people. It is usually seen that the person of supple jointed thumb is gentle and polite in behaviour. If the thumb is ugly in its look then the person will not be intellectually well. Such people are generally found educationally backward. There is another kind of thumb that the study of palmistry often describes in all the books is called clubbed thumb. When the first phalanges of thumb becomes extremely short and nail on that thumb then the person is having clubbed thumb. Such kinds of persons are extremely anger by their nature. There will power is extremely strong and they can move any extent when they are in their rage.

There are many things as to thumb reading in the science of palm reading that does not allow here in a small space. The good thumb along with good line of head is an indicator of success and phenomenal achievement in life. If the thumb is short, ugly looking then it is a sure sign of failure in life. The long thumb people are more successful than the short thumb people. The hand reader should consider the head line, mounts and thumb while having thumb reading.

Narottam Mishra is a prolific writer and he has a lot of contribution on the articles relating to palm reading. He has been writing on palmistry for more than five years.

Psychic Questions - Was I Famous in a Past Life? (Here Is How to Tell)

Are you starting to explore your past lives? Congratulations! It can be an incredibly eye opening, enlightening and exciting time. Learning that your journey extends beyond the current lifetime into a wild, wacky and wonderful world of many "incarnations" can change your present life in ways that are literally too numerous to count.

After all... if you truly come to discover that life continues on after death, and that there is real reason you are here, and that many of the things you BELIEVE are important today are simply an illusion, how would your life change?

Would you care so much about money and material things? Or, on being right all the time? If you truly came to realize from first hand experience that you've been RICH, you've been poor, and you've been everywhere in between... and it's ALL part of the plan for your unique spiritual growth and progress, how important would any of that stuff be today?

I think you'll probably agree, it gives you a new outlook, and perspective on just about everything.

So, are you STILL curious if you've been famous in a past life?

If you are, I'm here to tell you that at SOME point, you probably were! And, I'm going to give you a few simple ways to find out who and when, immediately below.

But first, again... it's important to keep it ALL in the right perspective. As above, each lifetime is really all about growth, learning, love and evolving into the spiritual being that we are ALL here to become. In some respects, the part you play in each life is like an actor in a play. It's not the REAL you - just a temporary role.

OK - the BEST way to figure out who you were in past life?

There are a number of tools and techniques I've used with great success, and each has it's pro's and con's. The IMPORTANT thing, especially if you want to uncover a celebrity lifetime, is to cooperate and document as much detail as you can (otherwise, you just come off like one of those people who CLAIMS they were famous and looks a bit silly in the process).

Past Life Regression:

This is expensive and needs to be done carefully... but it's VERY cool, and can be the most revealing process for unpacking previous lifetimes. A good therapist will also give you great documentation of everything you report, and often....especially in "famous memory" cases, will also help you track down and verify details you report (because it helps them as well, for obvious reasons).

Past Life Visualization Tools and Techniques:

Meditation is something that I do everyday for past life recall, and once you get the hang of it, it can be VERY powerful. Using a guided regression tape is very important for me as well. The key is, and obviously this is a detailed process that I can't quite cover in one short article, but you want to document and detail everything you see, and then compare it against the memories that come up using other methods, if you are applying them. Or, simply do your own fact checking if you recall a past life as a public personality or someone who has details you can verify later.

Past Life Psychic Readings:

The obvious place that most people start, and a great way to get data, details and documentation you can use to reinforce your own memories as well. After all, if what a psychic sees meshes well with what you remember independently on your own, there is NO better evidence than that, right? This can also be a great and inexpensive way to get started, as a great past life reading may only cost 10-20 dollars, and can offer an avalanche of insight and enlightenment in who you are today... and who you were in the past as well. (famous or not!)

PROVE Reincarnation Is Real: 4 Ways to Remember Your Past Lives WITHOUT Doing Anything Weird

As someone who has studied psychics, the paranormal and the "alternative world view" for going on 15 years now... I've got a confession to make:

There are some wild, wacky and WEIRD people out there! (and lots of wonderful life lessons you can learn from some pretty unusual sources)

Often, my mainstream friends and family have a hard time wrapping their minds around some of the more exotic and esoteric ideas I routinely review... simply because they feel too "out there" to be taken seriously.

Past lives, and the idea that all of us live MANY lifetimes, and our spiritual beings at "heart", is certainly one of those ideas that many in the mainstream discount.

The truth is, there is MORE good evidence for past lives than much of the "scientific" stuff we commonly accept to be true, especially in Western culture. (Ironically... in most of the world, past lives, karma and the concept of reincarnation is considered normal and is deeply embedded in their belief system)

The facts?

There are tens of thousands of carefully documented cases of past life recall that have passed scientific scrutiny and are VERY suggestive of the reality of reincarnation. (including a book written about the past life memories of small children SO convincing that it was featured in the New England Journal or Medicine, and was called by world famous scientist and skeptic Carl Sagan, the most compelling paranormal evidence he had ever seen)

Many people have had past life regressions and experienced radical transformations... often overcoming all sorts of traumas that conventional science, medications and years of therapy could NOT fix. (Internationally acclaimed psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss is well known for his work in this area... and his books have sold MILLIONS of copies around the world)

Many ordinary people like you and I have regularly experienced deja vu, or the feeling of knowing someone "forever" that you've only met for an instant, or even have skills and abilities or "intuitive" interests that seem to defy explanation (for example - picking up a hobby on a whim, and finding that not only are you EXCEPTIONALLY gifted at it... there is a deep "connection" to it that you feel in your bones).

Remembering you've lived before, that you'll live again and that you are an eternal timeless spiritual being who is here to learn, love, grow and evolve is the GREATEST gift you can give yourself.

But don't take MY word for it.

Here are 4 very short, very simple ways you can test this for yourself, for free (or a minimal cost) and get first hand evidence that all of this is TRUE (and will change your life forever).

1 - Soul Group Work - This is probably the "weirdest" method of the group I've listed here, but it can be incredibly healing for extended relationships, and helps to establish a "karmic connection" between lovers, families and even really good friends who have complex dynamics in the relationship. A small group of open minded people, working with a certified spiritual therapist who focused on past lives can bring people closer together in a way that you have to witness, or experience to believe! (and usually, in way that permanently changes the relationships for the better, forever)

2 - Hypnosis/Past Life Regression Therapy (the most common type of process featured in the media - this can be VERY powerful, but needs to be facilitated by a true therapist or hypnosis professional, and not someone who thinks they know what they're doing, but is just playing around!)

3 - Self Directed Past Life Recall (usually done with binaural beat technology, or recorded visualization exercises that are designed to facilitate deep states of relaxation)

4 - Psychic Insight and Intervention

A good psychic intervention for past life recall truly changed MY life many years ago... and opened me up to my own authentic purpose. (and the path I needed to pursue to realize it, which is what I do today through writing, researching and exploring topics like this one)

The benefits of past life psychic readings over the above, are only that they are simple, affordable, cost effective and convenient. (you can do it from home around your own schedule)

Of course, if you think all of this is nuts... you probably don't believe past lives are even possible, right? I challenge you to give one of the above techniques a try with an open mind, and let me know what openings, insights and revelations are revealed when you do. (because if you're anything like I was... they WILL rock your world!)
