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

The Signs of the Time–There have been so many inquiries about how unsettling everything seems to be at this time in history. People want answers. But first we must revisit cataclysmic events from times past.
As a student of history there have been many disastrous events that made most feel that the world was about to end. The most deadly was the Black Death, also referred to as the Black Plague or Bubonic Plague which killed 75 million people. There were many other times when the bubonic epidemics obliterated millions of people through infestations by fleas feeding off of rodents resulting in deadly pestilence. There were many events of wars from the beginning of time and including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War to the more recent Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War as well as the Iraqi War.
The most recent astrological significations of an axis of change with more unrest to come are when Pluto entered Capricorn on January 13, 2008. Pluto is an omen of radical changes. Some of us are still reeling from the collapse of the Stock Market, housing devaluations and other scary implications from the Pluto transit.
Pluto is the great revealer, but often there’s a dark night before the rebirth. Pluto brings to mind purging, exorcising, and releasing buried power or core truths. It’s the planet of creative destruction, and transits can feel like extended ordeals.
It is my knowing that says Pluto will seem to take everything away that your ego treasures and replace it with the essence of what God wants in your life. It is my opinion, among others, that there are two Worlds, the Upper and the Lower. The Upper is the dominion of the Creator, or God. The Lower World is the realm of the Super Ego, but it is also the kingdom where karma must be faced. The result is a redeemed soul from the control of the Super Ego and humbled before God. All of us must make an amends for the things we have done to be able to become who we were created to be.
Thus, time to time in history there seems to have been a purging, hence plagues and wars. Since the Lower World is the playground of the Ego, the instincts of our own ego behavior breed a life not worth living. Thus the eradicators come and level humanity.
The Sun goes into Libra on September 22 at the same time Mercury goes direct at 14 degrees of Virgo. You must give Mercury a week of adjustment from the three weeks of retrograde.
Uranus at 23 degrees of Aires, Neptune at 10 degrees of Pisces and Pluto at 14 degrees of Capricorn are all retrograde during this Solar Cycle. However, Pluto goes direct at 14 degrees of Capricorn on September 27.
There is a New Moon at 08 degrees of Libra on September 30. This is a new beginning for all Libras as well as other Air Signs, Gemini and Aquarius. Fire Signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius will benefit as well. There will be a Full Moon at 23 degrees of Aries on October 15. This is a time for all Aries people or those with prominent planets in Aries to let go of the need to control. Cooperation and listening to what others have to say is your best route to take to deal with this energy. This also applies somewhat to other Fire Signs, Leo and Sagittarius.
Beginning October 7, Mercury will be in Libra to strengthen the fair and more reasonable approach to working through troublesome dilemmas. Always remember that everyone has all the signs in their birth chart. Life is a collective unconsciousness brought into conscious reality.
Fire Signs
ARIES (March 19 – April 18)–Beginning September 27, your ruling planet Mars will be an adversary in the sign of Capricorn. This counterintuitive energy will make you scrap plans and retool your game plan in order to make any headway this month. You will also have the extra burden from Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn. When Mars and Pluto co-join in Capricorn from the 15 of October until later in the month of October, you need to step aside from any project you have that needs clear and conscious consideration. You always hear there is a season for everything. This is not the time for you to shine. Caution is advised.
LEO (July 22 – August 21)–There are so many signs that this is going to be a robust cycle for you Leos. With the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in Libra you can expect all the help you need this month to be on the winning side. What is expected of you to make the most of a lot of good transits is to be more judicious and even-headed in all areas of your life. And to top off all the positives for you Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius are very harmonious for business affairs. Not many months are going to be as good for Leo, so make the most of it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–With Saturn direct in motion this Solar Cycle you Archers are on full alert for all the things you need to learn. Always remember that life is about admitting and rectifying wrongs done many lifetimes ago. With your ruling planet, Jupiter transiting in Libra, you are going to have a lot of help from the natural order of the Universe. Open the book of Life’s Lessons and get busy making the corrections for your life to get better. Known to love to roam wherever your imagination can take you, now you must stay put and deal with solutions for your problems in your own backyard.
Earth Signs
TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–This is the Solar Cycle for you Bulls to take a financial inventory. What lies ahead for you may be slightly daunting. No sign more than a Taurus likes to know where his portfolio stands in the midst of uncertainty. What all of us are learning is that Mercury retrograde periods requires that we find a place for reflection and not throw caution to the wind. You are the least likely sign of the entire Zodiac to be careless with moola. However, we are all now in a period of existence where we must consider how what we do affects others. Take a rest. Meditate. A sound suggestion: Yoga your way to your soul center.
VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–You may be feeling as if you have just awakened from a stupor with Mercury having been retrograde for most of the month of September. It may have had the effect of cleaning up after a tornado. Jupiter the blessed planet left Virgo on September 8. Venus in Scorpio for most of the month of October will restore a bit of confidence that the Mercury retrograde took away. Saturn in the precarious sign of Sagittarius continues to undermine your confidence. May we remind you that challenges from other planets can make you stronger and more dependent on the notion that life is about dependency on a Power greater than you.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night interferes with you Goats getting done what you were born to do. If you read the opening to the column today you will recall what a steadfast and determined responsibility Capricorns were called on to do beginning in January 2008. You could also have inspired the slogan, ‘when life hands you lemons, make a lemon meringue pie.’ Pluto is going to be in Capricorn until March 24, 2023. As the expression goes, you ain’t seen anything yet. Wait until the election on November 8. Get your best blueprints and heavy equipment ready for the massive reconstruction!
Air Signs
GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–Now that your ruler Mercury has moved into Libra all month, your plans for the future should be on more solid ground. You will still have to contend with Saturn opposing you from Sagittarius. The sense of this aspect is to let you know that if you have built your house on solid rock all energies are in your favor. Jupiter has moved out of Virgo and into Libra, another fortuitous planetary movement for you Twins. Life is going to be bit steadier and easier for you. Never forget that you must always give thanks to the God that sustains you.
LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–Finally we get the voice of reason and equanimity this Solar Cycle. Although you will continue to be squared by Pluto in Capricorn and opposed by Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Libra will make you more determined to reach that wise position and you will not be stopped. Planetary movements are not predictions but insights into the struggles that each of the signs face. With Mercury in Libra this Solar Cycle a lot will be accomplished by the Scales of Justice. If there were ever a divine scripture to describe the hallmark of Venus-ruled Libra it is this quote from Corinthians 13: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–With your ruling planet Uranus in retrograde you might want to review where you’ve been and where you want to go from here. Your innate nature is to love the people of the world, to care and be concerned, but your being true to yourself makes you hands-off rather than join the crowd. There are a lot of huggy-feely folks in the Universe, but you’re not one of them. You design concepts and game plans. You might write something that inspires the collective. When someone comes with arms out-stretched for a bear hug, you dodge the embrace. There’s something less disingenuous about that. Be who you are always.
Water Signs
CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–With the New Moon and Full Moon this month, as well as Mercury and Jupiter in Libra you Cancerians had best find a comfortable spot somewhere out of the fray. Pluto is also in Capricorn. Uranus is in Aries. All of these aspects spell double trouble for the Moon Dudes and Darlings. You will have a few days of respite when the Moon is in Earth or Water Signs. The things you don’t want to do is remodel, sell or buy a new house. It might be time to have another vacation to settle your nerves. It’s not all bad, but the caution flags are flying all around the sign of Cancer.
SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–You must be feeling like an actor waiting offstage to go on for your moment of glory. You will just have to wait another month. Truth be told, Scorpio never stops probing, searching, questioning or waiting for a moment to uncover and discover a clue to where he or she is or what to do next. You are rather like a spy who weathers all confusions, disappointments and all sorts of criticisms to fulfill the destiny for which you were born. Unfortunately no sign like yours has to face their dark side daily quite like you do. Many times you stumble into the light of purpose while entering the scariest places. This month, Venus in Scorpio will attract a lovely bunch of people.
PISCES (February 18 – March 18)–You Fishes may still be reeling from the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on September 16 at 24 degrees of Pisces. The big lesson for you may be to stop being a bleeding heart. Another benchmark might be to be less touchy or super sensitive. All of life is about listening to the still small voice. Change is the axis that is up for not only Pisces but for the world at large. We are in the midst of massive rebirth on all levels. For the love of money is not only the root of all evil, in the big picture, it is the camouflage that covers up who you really are. Uncover, discover and discard or keep what gets you to the essence of 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.”
