Is Anybody Out There Having Problems With Love?????
My phone has been ringing off the hook from clients these past two weeks about either money or relationships. What's causing all this turmoil besides the venus retrograde I talked about in my last newsletter? We have a Venus-Pluto opposition in the skies now too! There are other aspects to this, but relationships are being hit the hardest. Pluto rules things "hidden" beneath the surface and of course Venus rules love. Pluto is battling Venus and now it's time for secrets that lovers and mates have to be revealed.
At the same time, many people are re-evaluating their most intimate relationships. Pluto reveals hidden fears, affairs, ideas and schemes. A lot of what's being revealed now has been hidden for quite some time...maybe even in the subconscious. Basically, there is a huge number of people all over the world having major pain and difficulty in love. So, everyone wants to know when this will finally end. When will this transit be over? Right now, we'll see this trend continue until the beginning of August, although venus moves forward June 29th. A lot of clients are probably thinking, "I'll just play it cool until then and ride this storm out." Well, that's not necessarily the right or the best answer. During the next six weeks you should actually work on the problems at hand. Pluto can force you to break down your relationship and rebuild it on a more solid basis, This is an opportunity to heal, grow and prosper in love. Issues need to be addressed in a loving way. Any relationship that is having trouble now, CAN NOT go back to the way it was. It needs to change in order to survive. If you choose to work with Pluto, your relationship can be better than ever. If you choose to step back and do nothing (change nothing), it could end. The other way to look at this...is you may become aware that it's time to let go and move on.
How do you know which path is right for you? A lot of people will go back and forth with their decision to work on a relationship. A lot of the issues we suppress in most intimate relationships comes from childhood. In my book, Soul Mates and Cell Mates, there's chapter that explains how our first introduction to relationships (our parents) can color how we look at relationships with our mates. The people that we attract in our life help us play out the roles we did in our early upbringing. If you had problems with a neglectful parent, perhaps a mate reacts the same way to you. If there was verbal abuse in a family, a person could draw a partner that ridicules or hurts them in some way. Now we get our chance to be angry and fight back because we're an adult. However our inner child and subconscious wounds need to be worked on and healed so we don't keep repeating the same mistakes or drawing the same type of partners in the future. If you are having major problems now, understand that you can no longer deal with your relationships in the same way you have all these years. Or the same issues will keep appearing. Nothing will be resolved. The difference between how you feel about a relationship now and say six months ago or so, is that you are NOT willing to put up with any "crap" anymore. You feel a strong push to make a change. That's Pluto pushing you. You will feel as if you don't have a choice. You can't put up with the way things are any longer! Sound familiar?
Before you make any life altering changes, you first need to go within; heal the wounds of childhood, the subconscious fears and insecurities that have been hiding beneath the surface. This is the time that whatever lies beneath the surface will come out; shame, guilt, fear, etc. Deal with your issues first. Then you can decide how best to deal with the relationship. Again, this could very well be the greatest time for healing relationships ever in your lifetime. Once you've done that, you'll be able to reassess your current troubled relationship and make a clear conscious choice of whether to work on it or release it. Either way, you'll be free of the chains that have held you back from achieving more harmony and fulfillment in your most intimate connection. |

Astrology News and Trends
July 2nd is the first full moon of the month. It falls in the sign of Capricorn so Cappys will be getting lots of answers this month. More than likely Cancers will too...especially in regards to their personal and intimate relationships.
On July 31, we have a second full moon. Since this doesn't happen often, the second full moon in a month is called a Blue Moon. It's in the sign of Aquarius.
From July 11 and until the end of August president Bush is under some heavy astrological configurations. Pluto opposes Uranus in his astrology chart and that could bring some unexpected drastic changes.
On July 22nd, the sun moves into the grand sign of Leo. On July 30th the moon is void of course all day so no one will feel like lifting a finger around the house. It's a lazy day so push yourself to keep up with your scheduled events! |

More On President Bush and the US Chart
With Saturn on the President's sun sign as well as the United States, (Saturn represents discipline, responsibilities and duties) we are already seeing signs of trouble.
Just weeks ago, came a report from the 9-11 Commission stating there was no link between Iraq and al-Qaeda. The 9-11 commission said that if there had been information that revealed a link, they were sure the Administration would have presented it (but it wasn't). In addition, came the report from over 25 past top diplomats and military officials who say issued the statement:
"Never in the two and a quarter centuries of our history has the United States been so isolated among the nations, so broadly feared and distrusted. The Bush administration has shown that it does not grasp (the) circumstances of the new era, and is not able to rise to the responsibilities of world leadership in either style or substance," the statement concluded. "It is time for a change." Can you recall the last time a jarring statement like this was released by officials such as these about an administration? I don't think we've seen the last of these aspects. Saturn is still squaring the United States Saturn. Expect more challenges concerning our countries responsibilities and policies. |

More Feng Shui Tips
A few of you wrote me regarding an earlier newsletter about Feng Shui, The Chinese art of furniture placement and decor in the home and office. Some of your have tried the techniques I mentioned and found outstanding results. Feng Shui can help you draw prosperity, love and good health. Here's a few more ideas to bring good fortune to your home!
In the living room - Use a lot of earth tone colors. Shades of green, taupe, brown, beige and blue will help calm frayed nerves. You'll come home from a stressful day and feel relaxed by those colors.
Bedroom - Stay away from the color peach for romance. Opt for shades of pink. To get a good night's rest, stay away from reds and oranges. Blues, whites and soft greens can work wonders for rest. Use lots of pillows, flowing drapery and soft fabrics. Floral and checked prints promote harmony. Feng Shui experts suggest a solid headboard for the bed. It represents support and stability....things to keep your relationship thriving.
The Front Door - Many of you have heard about the benefits of painting your front door red. Red draws in good fortune and abundance., Green doors attract money and good health. Gold equals prosperity. A purple door may draw in spiritual energies.
The Kitchen - Remember to rotate the use of your stove's burners to attract wealth. If you use the same burner all the time you are keeping prosperity away. Fill your kitchen area with plants and flowers. They encourage good health energy. Cover your sink drain with a stopper when you're not using it. Otherwise, money and good energy will escape down the drain. Same goes for bathroom toilets. Put the seat down when not in use!
Want to sell your house? Hang a metal wind chime outside your front door. Its sound will deflect negative "chi" (energy) away from your home.
If you're sick or not feeling swell, you can place sun and earth symbols in the center of the room you spend the most time in. These symbols represent the Feng Shui elements for health and well being.
Nasty neighbors? Try planting flowers and pretty shrubs on the side of the house that faces your neighbors. They will encourage peace and harmony.
Want a promotion at work? Put live plants at the corners of your desk or work area. They'll help clear any negative energy that could be blocking success.
Family trouble? Try adding soft, green accents to your family or living room. Green is a healing color and strengthens family ties. |

You'll Love This Story!
Many of you have either read the story of my Scorpio client who was left by her husband, in my book Soul Mates and Cell Mates or heard me speak of her in my seminars. She is the lady who got revenge on her cheatin' mate of 25 years! Since, the book came out, I have been getting e-mails from people who have shared their experiences with some unbelievable "paybacks". But remember...everything you put out, eventually you get back! I was recently sent another story by a Scorpio woman. Those born in late October and November will certainly appreciate the following but everyone will find humor in this next one....
Women think of the cleverest things
After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger woman. He wanted to continue living in their downtown luxury apartment with his new lover so he asked his wife to move out and get another place. His wife agreed to this, provided that he would give her 3 days alone at the apartment to pack up her things. She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished, she went into each room and deposited a few of the half-eaten shrimp shells into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly the apartment began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning & mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive carpet. Finally, they could not take it any longer and decided to move. They could not find a buyer for their stinky apartment so they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The moving company arrived and did a very professional packing job, taking everything to their new home....including the curtain rods! |

Problems with getting my newsletters?
We're having more and more problems with email providers blocking us, as we are suspected of sending spam around with this email letter. If you miss out on any future issues (currently AOL, .cs, worldnett.att.net members and even some MSN addresses are a huge trouble here) ask your email provider to UNBLOCK this newsletter address. AOL members need to phone the AOL Postmaster Hotline at 1-703-265-4670 or 1-888-212-5537 and ask them to get us on the whitelist. (And then they are first going to monitor our email behaviour. :-) )
Each week we are sending the non deliverables on to Rich who takes great pains in getting the email newsletter to you but, boy, it is almost becoming unmanagable with the current anti-spam politics. We're suffering both ways now. From the spam and from the blockades. Please note that if you miss out on any future issue, this may be because YOUR provider has blocked our email address. What can you do? Ask your provider to unblock this newsletter email address immediately...for this is not an unsolicited bulkmail but a much wanted one. :-)
