The Signs of the Time — This introduction is from noted paranormal master Carl Calleman which I endorse and want you to read: Maybe I should start this article by clarifying that I do believe that there exists a virus that plays a role for causing a variety of symptoms that have come to be called the Covid₁₉ syndrome. But what I question is if this is the full picture. While it is recognized that underlying medical conditions may contribute to the mortality of the syndrome almost nothing has been said about psychosomatic factors. Yet, it is widely recognized in medicine that psychological stressors may contribute to the onset or severity of a disease in an individual. In the case of pandemics, which by their nature affect humanity as a collective, it is however almost always forgotten that human beings are not merely physical bodies, but have a mind and soul as well and that these also may be affecting our health status. There are thus reasons to seriously consider that there may also be psychosomatic factors behind the Covid₁₉ pandemic.

Before we get into any discussion about Covid-19 let’s cover the planets in retrograde. Of course Mercury went direct at five degrees of Cancer on July 12. In modern times I have not seen such problems with air conditioners and washing machines and computers–everything that required electricity. Many folks had car problems as well. Not to mention all the mental confusions we all felt–like the shroud of misery had descended without consideration of race, creed or color.

There is a Full Moon at 11 degrees of Aquarius on August 3.  It will affect all other Air Signs, Gemini and Libras.

There is a New Moon at 26 degrees of August in August 18. This new beginning is good news for all Leos as well as Aries and Sagittarius.

Jupiter is till retrograde this month at 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Neptune continues retrograde at 20 degrees of Pisces. Pluto creeps along at 23 degrees of Capricorn. Cardinal Signs, Cancer and Aries and Libra had best steps you take or don’t because Pluto is a trouble maker for Cardinals now.

We need to go back to a discussion of the pandemic. Although most people are complying by wearing masks and latex gloves and distancing, there is more at play here. As Calleman so aptly put, there are psychological stress factors that are attributing to a lot of what has been going on with Covid-19. In a sentence, there are paranormal elements playing out which are inexplicable in laymen terms.

Monthly Insights for the Signs

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 21 – April 20)–With your ruling planet Mars in Aries this month you should be able to handle the pandemic and much more. For you Aries, Mars will give you the energy and where-with-all to make a lot of headway. You are known to run before you check your GPS, so slow down and make some positive advancement this Solar Cycle. Also make sure you don’t drive over the speed limit!

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–The upside to your reaction to Covid-19 is that your innate nature is to see the bright side of all darkness. No sign is more hopeful than you lions and lionesses. Perhaps, sooner than later, things will be better on earth because billions of us have endured the same crisis which we created through behaviors in all millennia and lifetimes.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Mars in Aries for several weeks is your biggest ally in the Celestial Galaxy. Fire sign-to fire sign will give you the energy to take your own roadmap and get to where you need to go. During Covid-19 that place is deep within you and your own peace and quiet. Meditate and stay serene.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)–With Mercury in Cancer until August 6 you could have clearer thinking to make better choices. But Uranus in Taurus all month can be somewhat of a challenge.  You are ruled by loving and steady Venus. But Uranus can cause all sort of upsets and confusion, especially around money and financial matters. Exercise extreme caution around these issues this month.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 21)–With your ruling planet Mercury in Cancer for awhile, you will be able to make a better day for yourself and others whose lives you touch.  With echoes from above with love and patience you will thrive even during these most difficult times of pandemic.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–In the estimation of a lot of seers and psychics and astrologers, Capricorn is the culprit and harbinger of Covid-19. Be aware that all of us on the planet Earth created this pandemic. It was through behaviors of greed and selfishness and egoism through millennia and lifetimes. Stick to your assignment and let the rest of us tend to our own.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)–Venus will be in Gemini until August 8. Although your ruling planet Mercury is in Cancer all month, Venus can do a lot of good for you. Financially you should be in high cotton but always make sure you are aware that Covid-19 could last a lot longer than a lot of us think. All in all,  this is a good 31 days for Gemini.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–With your ruling planet Venus in Gemini until August 8 your chances for internal resolution with Covid-19 are sky-high. A lot of people focus on heart issues but the mind has so much to say with how one reacts to challenges.  Your other problems are with Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn squaring you.  If any sign can persevere with the trials of a pandemic with grace and endurance it is Libra.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–Your cross to bear this Solar Cycle is that your ruling planet Uranus is in Taurus, which leaves wreckage as it tiptoes through the zodiac. If you can remember that planets in signs affect all of us–not just you Water Bearers–that notion might lighten your load. Everything that happens to us is for our own edification and spiritual growth.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)–Mercury will be in Cancer until August 6. Your thinking as well as your emotional state of being should be in a great place. Venus goes into Cancer on August 9th throughout this Solar Cycle. Although the Sun will be in Leo, two great planets in Cancer this month will aid and abet you in all ways. Stay safe and out of harm’s way of Corona Virus as it continues to rage out of control.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–Put down your fly swatter and loaded pistol and practice “live and let live.” These are trying times but you Scorpions are armed with inner resources to not only survive but to thrive. Continue to see what you can do for others and watch while your tensions lessen and your gratitude grows.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Mercury in Cancer until it goes in Leo on August 6 will benefit your emotional wellbeing. However, Venus in Gemini throughout the Leo 31 days will not help you at all. Since your ruling planet Neptune is in Pisces for a while longer make sure you don’t use the dark side of the Fish Sign to drink or drug or overspend. It is time to realign and find your life’s purpose once again.

Ashley is incredibly grateful to Albert for being her biggest fan and supporter! When I was 16, he sat across from me and said “You will go to Yale” and I did not believe him, but he was right about that and so many more things!

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.

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.”
