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.

Enjoy the Virgo Newsletter for 2015!
The Signs of the Time–Can you believe that we are already starting the last quarter of 2015? Schools have started back. Remember when we plodded back to Grade School and High School after Labor Day?
The recent old news is that Venus is still retrograde in Leo. Be uber cautious spending money willy-nilly since the money markets are still erratic. Also, emotion can run amok in personal and professional relationships. If your lover proposes marriage give him an answer when Venus goes direct on September 6. Don’t push the river as the seers like to say.
There is a Full Moon at 6 degrees of Pisces on August 29. This has a lot to do with the end of blocks for Pisces and opposition sign, Virgo. It also will have some affect on other Water Signs, Cancer and Scorpio and Earth Signs, Taurus and Capricorn.
Jupiter is still picking up steam in Virgo after a year in Leo. As the repentant overeater in me would like to caution you Virgos: Jupiter can bless you and curse you. The latter being a tendency to pack on the pounds with the expanding nature of Jupiter. You have been put on alert!
That old irritant and troublemaker Mercury goes retrograde again on September 18. Avoid beginning new projects while Mercury is in retrograde. These should be postponed until Mercury goes direct on October 10. People ruled by Mercury, Gemini and Virgo are more affected than other signs. These two signs will not be able to make up their mind. Someone once told me she had scheduled surgery under a retrograde. I told her in no uncertain terms, “Reschedule!”
There is a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12. Things that are begun between the eclipse and the next Full Moon (about 2 weeks), seeds we plant, projects we undertake, contacts we make, and intentions we set, take on added significance 6 months down the road. From a symbolic standpoint, an eclipse is like a portal or doorway in space and time… a kind of wormhole. It suddenly and dramatically reveals that everything is interconnected. We understand this concept of interconnectedness intuitively, but the spectacle of an eclipse brings it front and center in our consciousness.
Fire Signs
ARIES (March 20 – April 19)–With the help from Venus and Mars in Leo plus Uranus in Aries, you are going to be in the fast lane. Make sure you’re not under a swoon from the toxic fumes from the car in front of you. Actually the square from Pluto in Capricorn might be the teaching course you’ve needed not to make any more kneejerk decisions that are both costly and fool-hearted. This month try to play your cards more cautiously and then when you pick up your winnings, sit out a few rounds. You don’t have to play any game just because it’s being played.
LEO (July 22 – August 22)–Venus, albeit retrograde, and Mars will be in Leo for most of this Solar Cycle. That’s the good news. Everything else is rather iffy for you lions and lionesses. One of the Great Thinkers recently advised that Leos ought to give themselves a break and meditate and practice yoga for awhile. Since the Lower World is not reality, you ought to spend more time connecting to the Upper World through communication with one of their Overlords. You will be more in step with where you need to go and what to be in October. Om. Tat. Sat. Om.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Make room for daddy or get ready to go back to the School of Life to learn a few tricks about how to survive to thrive in this topsy-turvy atmospheric stratosphere. You have been like a free-range chicken plucking and clucking any ole place you want to roam. Or you have always told people where to go in an unfiltered manner. Well, Archers, get ready to lay down your quivers and pick up the Instruction Book: How to Learn Life’s Lesson to Make You Better in Two and a Half Years.
Earth Signs
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–The Virgo Solar Cycle is always one of the best times of the year for you Bulls. But with Venus and Mars transiting Leo, you had better watch your bottom line and your waist line as well. The lesson here again for you is that it’s not always about amassing wealth and you do not need a main squeeze to validate your worth. Let your stubborn side relax a bit and don’t doubt everybody’s motives, unless it’s espoused by a politician. Most people are doing the best they can with what they’ve got left. See more magic this month.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)–With the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo, with Jupiter in your sign for a year, it is your turn and your time. The ringing noise in your inner ear is the hooves of the impeding reign of Saturn for two and a half years–not an aspect without collateral damage. And to boot, Mercury going retrograde on September 18 will be another fly in the ointment. If you want to know what the overall message for you Virgos this month is rejoice with Jupiter and get ready to be accountable when Saturn squares your sign for more than two years.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–No one gets it quite like you do that there is Divine Order in the Universe. A few clues: did you know it takes the Moon two and a half days to go through each Sign? And did you know that the Moon moves faster than any other planet, and with its speed, we are more likely than not, to have more Void of Course Moons than not? Your ruling planet, Saturn, just changed signs, which means you, like Sagittarius in whose sign Saturn moves on September 18, are going to go through a major Renaissance of your philosophy of life and religious beliefs. And did you know that Pluto–the Big Bang Planet in the Zodiac, is still in Capricorn? Go with it. You are the Sign that can do anything.
Air Signs
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)–You have almost a month to convince your boss you deserve a raise. And if you are looking for a better career opportunity, all systems are flowing in your favor until Mercury goes retrograde on September 18. That gives you a three-week time period to make something happen. And always remember this axiom and your life will get a lot easier. Geminis live in their heads. You will never figure out a problem, rather go where revelation is taking you.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)–With your ruler, Venus, in retrograde in Leo until September 6, you might be thinking your ideas and concepts are a bunch of hooey. Capricorn-born Stephen Hawking, whose life story was told in The Theory of Everything, recently stated that the greatest breakthroughs in technology are about to happen. Retrogrades suggest Libras are part of the hatching of one or more of those great innovations. This is a great time to get ready to unveil what you and your genius have wrought.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–Your opposing Sign, Leo has more to teach you than you know. If you were born under a Full Moon (Sun opposing the Moon) some days you act more like a Leo than an Aquarian. Actually, this might indicate that you are your own worst enemy, or best friend. There are several planets in Leo; Jupiter just left Leo in early August. If this were my aspect to endure or use to my advantage I would consult a Supreme Authority before I wrote another ballad or attempted whatever makes me happy. Aquarius is a funny sign: No one on earth can tell you anything because Uranus-ruled, you are out of this world.
Water Signs
CANCER (June 21 – July 21)–What I love about you Cancers is that if you aren’t having fun or getting what you think you deserve, wait a day or two because the moon is the most changeable sign in the Zodiac. Truth be told, Virgos and Cancers are the BFF on the planetary wheel. So with the Sun in your corner for 30 days everything is coming up roses. Favorable lunations for Cancers this month, August 25, 26, 29, 30; next month, September 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 16, 17, 21, 22. You will benefit mucho from the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–On September 18 Saturn makes its grand entrance into Sagittarius for the next two and a half years. The purpose of Saturn is to make sure you know whether you are into self-will run riot or doing the will of God. The Perfect Place, the Upper World, uses Saturn to try and test all of us to see where we stand with Ego versus the Higher Power. When Saturn leaves a sign, as Scorpio has just endured, you are giving the world stage to see what you have learned and are ready to put it into practice. May I remind you that some of us consider Scorpio the Grand Wizards, after they have been purified?
PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Make yourself at home under the Full Moon at 6 degrees of Pisces on August 29. Oftentimes a Full Moon is a game changer of opportunities that have heretofore been blocked. And the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12 will have a lasting effect on the affairs of the house where the Eclipse will occur. My intuition tells me that the once shy and retiring Fish you are will break out of the limitations you have languished under for eons. The cog in the wheel for you has always been a self-esteem issue.

The Greatest Night of My Life
The Light Foundation Scholarship Fund threw a fancy dinner to celebrate my 35th AA Anniversary. 70 friends, family and clients gathered in the Monet Ballroom at L’Auberge de Sedona for a delicious dinner and the most scrumptious cake designed by Andrea at Cake Couture. Opera Diva Ashley Galvani Bell entertained with arias from well-known operas accompanied by Karl Kessler on the viola and Chao Liao on piano. Read the rest of this post.
Alcoholism is a Family Disease
The Dysfunction of the Family Tree: When I work with an alcoholic or drug addict it is obvious to me that everyone hanging from the Family Tree played his or her part in the creation of the lone wolf black sheep. The whole toxic environment which spawned the addict is overlaid with blame and shame. In You’re Not Who You Think You Are, I build a solid case for how all members of the family are involved in the dysfunction that caused the compulsive and obsessive one to dive head-first into his addiction.

Your Ego Listens When Reason Speaks…And Here’s What Happens
As the myth goes, God created man out of thin air and then Eve popped out of his rib. And just when they were getting to know one another, Eve asked Adam to bite her apple. Then along came the snake. The apple and the snake are a carnival act–they are Frick and Frack in collusion. Make what you will of the yarn, but my Sherlock Holmes intuition tells me to find the truth of the matter in close examination of the apple and the creepy crawler. What Dr. Watson and I came up with was this. The apple of course is temptation. Bite it and you pay a huge price–entrapment. The snake is a doppelganger that represents the Ego, that nefarious shadow- self who always wants us to stay ensnared and beholden to his pleasure chest: food, booze, more, self, manipulation and control. Well, I could go on forever. I could stay with the vivisection of the birth and eons of treachery of the ego from the Garden of Eve to the present. But I won’t. What I will do is to tell you that each of us has an Ego, and although venerated by some like Freud, I feel it has to be dealt with. And the dealing is where I am taking you.

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.”
