Enjoy the Leo Newsletter for 2019!
The Signs of the Time–I start the newsletter off this month with a few caveats. More and more it becomes apparent that a lot of us–yes, even adults mainly–distract ourselves with games and traveling and other nonsense. In the times in which we live more of us need to inventory ourselves daily to see where the truth lies within us. A lot of hoopla is heard about the Stock Market and how it alone is reason to support a President. How crazy is that idea? In 12-Step Recovery we say that Money, Property and Prestige are the triplet enemies of sobriety and sanity. Just having weathered two Eclipses perhaps it is safer and sounder to seek peace within ourselves rather than become dependent on economics alone.
Mercury is till retrograde until August 2. And remember that the effects of this retrograde linger for two weeks after Mercury goes direct. Jupiter goes direct on August 12 at 14 degrees of Sagittarius. This will make Archers delirious because now they can get a lot of things done that have been lingering during the retrograde.
Uranus goes retrograde at 6 degrees of Taurus on August 12. Actually, this aids and abets the Bulls because retrograde lessens the harsher aspects of Uranus.
Neptune and Pluto continue in retrograde for awhile longer.
There is a New Moon at 8 degrees of Leo on July 31. This is help Lions and Lionesses get to where they need to go. This is a real boon for Leos. All other Fire Signs, Aries and Sagittarius, will benefit as well.
Monthly Insights for the Signs
Fire Signs
ARIES (March 21 – April 20)–You Rams had better thank your Lucky Stars for this Solar Cycle. If you kept your head down during the early days of the Mercury Retrograde, you can twist and shout. Remember to open space for love and caring for others as your nature is to be the Moses of your tribe or isolate. There is nothing to stop you now except your own ego-centricity. This is a great time for you to start a new project or bring the one you have been working on to market.
LEO (July 22 – August 21)–The New Moon at 8 degrees of Leo on July 31 should suit your every need. Also, the Sun is in Leo until August 23. Beginning August 12 Mercury is also in your Sun Sign. As we are often apt to say, this is your 31 days to shine and place your bets on a winner–and we are not necessarily talking about the poker tables in Las Vegas or elsewhere. You are creative so pick up the brush or put together a program that benefits all of Mankind.
SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Now that Jupiter will go direct on August 12 get ready to have a lot of the confusion and messiness around you clear up. Your year is about to change for the better. Never forget the lessons you’ve learned or the mistakes that do not need to be repeated. Your innate personality is one of optimism. The last few months have not been your most productive, but all that is about to change. Don’t forget that the God within you has the right answers so turn up the volume to your listener.
Earth Signs
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)–From July 22 until the 28th your ruling planet Venus is in Cancer. Thank God for small favors because when Venus goes into Leo all bets are off. Also, with the Sun in Leo all month you had best watch what you eat and how you Spend money. The fallout from those Eclipses will remind you of that old song, “Rain drops keep falling on my head…” Also don’t trouble ‘til trouble troubles you as the old adage says. Thin-skin Bulls can see an enemy behind every bush. Persevere by going deep within your serener and safer world.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 21)–When your ruling planet Mercury is in retrograde expect the unexpected. Computers can go offline and cars can go on the fritz. Anything mechanical is apt to unnerve you. And since you are one of the two signs most affected by this know that your capacity to process and make smart choices might be off and confusing to you and others. Take some down time for yourself. It is a celestial fact that Virgo lives in his or her head and the thinker turns into an unmanageable maze.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–No Sign was born with the raw talent to withstand any hand that life deals you quite like you. You are still in the direct motion of an unveiling of your heart’s desire. When so many other Signs are waiting to win the lottery or marry a rich and generous Big Daddy or Mama, you are working on your dream creation. The suggestion for you this Solar Cycle is not to be too cold or too indifferent to others and their struggles. Keep doing what you’re doing and sooner than later, a huge pay-off.
Air Signs
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)–The ill effects of your ruling planet Mercury being in retrograde from July 8 until August 2 can still have lingering off-putting effects on you Solar Twins. Beginning August 12 Mercury goes into Leo which is one of your allies in the Zodiac. The better news is that Gemini and Leo can dance without stepping on toes and fight the good and just fight for all on the same compatible team. You boys and girls have had two good months in a row–count your blessings and don’t forget to share your good luck.
LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–Beginning the 4th of July your ruling planet Venus has been in Cancer where it will remain until July 28th. But the Sun in Leo is in alignment with you Libras. We are just coming out of a confusing and Hatfields and McCoys kind of infighting for all of us. You like peace and quiet and agreement so perhaps this month you might make some headway. Listen is your strong suit; then make a choice between your options. It is your innate nature to solve problems and not cause them.
AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–Your nature is to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. If you didn’t learn anything from the Solar and Lunar Eclipses earlier in July, you are stubborn and willful. Your ruling planet Uranus is in Taurus which is not a good fit for you. Rather than see how you can change the world it may be time to see what needs to be altered in you and your World View. It is strongly suggested from the Wizards of the Lower World that you spend more time with your inner world rather than plotting and planning and fighting immovable objects.
Water Signs
CANCER (June 22 – July 21)–It will take you Moon Dudes and Dudettes awhile longer to feel stable and firm on your feet. You have endured and hopefully learned a lot from the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Cancer on July 2. My intuition tells me that you are determined to be less controlling and demanding as more time passes. No Sign is more loving and caring and potentially as nurturing as Cancer. Your assignment in the Celestial Calendar is to use the ten or twelve days a month that the Moon is compatible with Cancer.
SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–This is your breakout time of your life. After the wild and crazy month we’ve just had, now you can spread your wings and fly. All the sharing and writing and meetings you’ve attended are finally going to pay off. Always remember that you are a one-of-a-kind human being who was reborn to make the world a better place. Live your life forward not backward. Turn all your ideas over to God to see which ones He wants to have come to fruition. Stop looking for someone or something to validate or save you. Look inward for answers.
PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Your super-sensitivity may be overshadowing your innate ability to love the hand life dealt you. Your outer planet ruler, Neptune is loaded with positive as well as negative ones. The worst struggle for Pisces is oftentimes drinking and drugging and a tendency to overspend. Most of July has had more than its share of cosmic difficulties for you Fishes. Most of us are still in recovery from the Eclipses and the continuing effects of Mercury retrograde.

NEW BOOK by Albert Clayton Gaulden
Moments and Windstorms: Take Back Your Power
This ground-breaking book offers an in-depth journey through the author’s eye-opening addiction to alcohol and how he eventually got sober. Gaulden has written a number of books as well as being Founding Director of the Sedona Intensive, one of the country’s most highly regarded alternative personal growth programs.
The author shares all the ways God was leading and guiding him even when he was still drinking. “Most of us look at false paradigms to measure success in our lives. So much of where I went and the jobs I took helped me remember what I was to do as my life’s work.”
Gaulden’s book is divided into five parts. Each section explores different parts of his journey, incorporating all the places he’s been, the studies he’s made and the people he’s met. His point of view is that each client who sought his help made him a better person. At the end of the book, he has some daunting but hopeful words about the conditions of the planet Earth and what we need to do to survive as a race.

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.”
