You are always reading insights about you as well as what’s up with people and causes that we wholeheartedly support. But time to time people ask about who I am and how I feel about a lot of things that they have to deal with in their own lives. We will make changes to the photos and pictures every few months, so you will have bits and pieces about my take on me and what I value or what I know not to be true for me. I hope you enjoy the open door to me and my character. — Albert Gaulden
“Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing,
leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.”
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Signs of the Time–Mercury is out of retrograde and we are done with the Solar Eclipse New Moon and the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon or as some called it the Blood Red Full Moon, which was spectacular. Truth be told, the affects of eclipses last until the next ones in 2016.
There will be a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 16 degrees of Pisces on March 8 and a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 3 degrees of Libra on March 23. Always burn it into your consciousness that eclipses represent times of great change, especially for those in direct line of fire with the eclipses.
There is a Full Moon on October 27 at 3 degrees of Taurus. This represents a lot of endings for Taurus and Scorpio as well as Leo and Aquarius. There is a New Moon on November 11 at 19 degrees of Scorpio. The Universe is going to bring a lot of opportunities to Scorpios as well as good fortune to Pisces and Cancer.
For a long time I have wanted to write about a dark and dangerous overlay covering the world for the last few years. My sensibility and consciousness divides the Upper World from the Lower World. The Upper World is the dominion of Higher Self and home of the Creator. It is what I refer to as the Perfect Place into which dark and dangerous are not permitted to enter.
The Lower World is ruled by Supra Ego armed with his pleasure chest of temptations and enticements. Even when you make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the care of God, Ego turns up the heat. Ego lives in the head and God in the heart. In 12 step work we always thank God for the bottoms we reached in order to switch allegiance from Supra Ego to God.
When Pope Saint Francis of Assisi came to the United States in late September the still small voice within me said that his presence was a sign from the Divine that each of us had better pay attention to what God we serve and how much we care, or don’t, about our brothers and sisters all over the world.
The Upper World sent us Pope Francis as an emissary to tell us how we are in a misguided place with too much Ego and not enough God. I grew up in the South where the haves and had-nots were indelibly divided; where sports and religion were cut from the same cloth and one’s perception of the Shadow was seen as spooky drag on Halloween.
Speaking of which, Halloween is upon us; it is always on October 31 every year. Halloween is actually a contraction of All Hallows’ Eve. It is the eve of the feast for All Saints. It has strayed from its original roots and is now generally celebrated by trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, bobbing for apples, and attending costume parties. But nonetheless, the last day of October was once known more as a religious holiday than the silliness it has morphed into.
This Scorpio Solar Cycle is the perfect time to confess sins, look at addictive and destructive behaviors, and generally to use the time on bended knee praying for God’s will to be done rather than more wallowing in self-seeking and self-will. Did you know that a transformed Scorpio is potentially the Master Healer of the Zodiac?
Fire Signs
ARIES (March 20 – April 19)–With the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 4 degrees of Aries a few weeks ago you should have righted the ship and been back in business for a few days. Uranus is still in Aries which has its own agenda of sudden upsets and quick turnaround in business. Saturn in Sagittarius is trining early degrees of Aries so you have the momentum of positive change in your sign for quite awhile. The best advice for you is Caution. Slow down. And think things over with someone you trust before you act on anything.
LEO (July 22 – August 22)–You might be feeling a little off-kilter after such a long run of Jupiter in your Sun Sign. But you had a great blowback from that Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Aries. And Saturn has just gone into Sagittarius, a fire sign, in great connection to the fire sign you are. And to add more fuel to your tank Uranus in Aries is another part of a super fire trine. Did you know that all fire signs are energetic, go-getters and disposed toward winning big? And did you also know that Fire Signs are known for their colossal EGOS?
Tone it down a bit as you preen for the camera.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Since Saturn has been in Sagittarius for more than a month, are you ready for someone to make a house call–to sooth your jagged nerves? Always remember that Saturn is the Cosmic Cop–he is monitoring and he is probing to make sure you do your homework for the next two and a half years. Although I have referred to Sagittarius as “God’s Sign” you have been on Earth so long you’ve forgotten who you really are and what your mission is this lifetime, if you accept it. As they say in television parlance, “Sags, it is Show Time!”
Earth Signs
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–You were lifted up by the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12. Now that your ruler Venus is in Virgo until November and Mars until November 13 you have the luck of the Irish and the blessings of the Cosmos for awhile. Did anybody ever tell you that you can be a tight-wad as well as overly generous with a partner or a love? And did the Wizard of All-Seeing, All-Knowing ever remind you that Taurus inspired the scripture, “For the love of money is the root of all evil?” Now, sit down and take a soul-searching inventory after you meditate.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)–You have so much going for you, so let me count the aspects. The Solar Eclipse New Moon on September 12 crowned you overlord of all you survey. Venus and Mars in Virgo until the second week of November are two super boons. And then here comes a New Moon in 19 degrees of Scorpio on November 11. Now that’s the good news. May I remind you that Saturn has gone into Sagittarius, which squares you head-on for two and a half years? My umpteen years in this work tells me that you will go through a major renaissance with your head-trip–always judging and criticizing and analyzing. Perhaps you will be given the gift of intuition.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–Some Capricorn said to me the other day, “Forbearance with Pluto in my sign is like watching paint dry or waiting for Godot.” My response was to tell him, “In two and a half years your ruling plant, Saturn will be back where it belongs and then you can feel at home.” Silence and then he replied, “Can’t wait.” Honestly, you Goats are going to benefit from the New Moon in Scorpio on November 11 and Venus and Mars in Virgo. Consider this month your Cosmic Ally.
Air Signs
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)–There is no way to pussy-foot around the obvious, so we’ll give it to you straight as an arrow. When Saturn went into Sagittarius for two and a half years on September 18, this Cosmic Cop was opposing you. And if you have any personal planets in Sag, the challenge is going to be even direr. Saturn will require that you look not only at yourself but at others in your life who may be controlling you from accepting personal responsibility for your own actions. This is not the end of the world for you; rather it is being who you really are for the first time in your life. Trust God and clean house.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)–Since you were given the Scales of Justice as your Cosmic Symbology when the world was created, do the best you can until November 9 when your ruling planet, Venus goes into Libra until December 5. If the world ever needed a guru of wisdom the time is now. All those signs around you are acting a bit daffy and reminding us of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. Your job is to bring calm and clarity in your personal and professional life. If your partner craves something sweet, cook her a gluten-free scone. I kid you not. Don’t forget to OM in your meditations.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–You probably know that Oprah Winfrey is a Water Bearer. And she fits what an Aquarian is apt to be like to a T: caring and giving and concerned about everyone in the world who needs help. I go through this because you will be called upon this Solar Cycle to give more than you think you are able. Your mantra this month will be, “Here I am. Send me.” Your intuition will be sky-high this cycle. Listen to the voice within you and not to what those with an agenda try to cajole you to do.
Water Signs
CANCER (June 21 – July 21)–The recent Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12 favored you Crabs more than you deserved, perhaps. And then along comes Venus and Mars in Virgo until the second week of November and your luck is really solidifying. And then you get a New Moon in Scorpio on November 11 which is a triple whammy for Cancer. But with all the good fortune never forget that no sign is more emotional and discontent when stirred. Smooth out the rough edges, mind your Southern Baptist manners and enjoy the celestial good wishes this month.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–You Scorpios can praise God from whom all blessings flow, as Saturn moved out of Scorpio September 18 into Sagittarius. There will be major benefits all around for you as well, under the New Moon at 19 degrees of Scorpio on November 11. You will also think you’ve died and gone to the Perfect Place with Venus and Mars in Virgo, the 9th and 13th, respectively. Virgo and Scorpio are uber compatible. Love your month, my Scorpio friends!
PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Having survived the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 20 degrees of Virgo on September 12 you may be feeling a bit unsure of what to do next and where to do it. Just when you think the heavens are leaving you alone, on March 8, 2016 there will be another Solar Eclipse New Moon at 16 degrees of Pisces. Since your ruling planet, Neptune is in Pisces for another umpteen years, find that inner space of solace and listen to what the God within you is telling you. My hunch is that the more evolved Piscean is already ahead of the game.

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.”
