Astrology Newsletter: Aries 2017

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

Enjoy the Aries Newsletter for 2017!

The Signs of the Time–Venus continues to be in retrograde until April 15. Mercury goes retrograde on April 9 at 5 degrees of Taurus until it goes direct on May 3 at 24 degrees of Aries. Jupiter continues in retrograde in Libra, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. With all these retrograde planets it is best to abide and not throw caution to the wind. Mercury calls for utmost caution in financial matters. Even if you don’t like your job, stay put.

There is a New Moon on March 27 at 07 degrees of Aries. The fortunes are in Aries corner. Other Fire Signs and Water Signs will have ancillary benefits as well. However, Cancers, Capricorns and Libras might want to question moves they might make at this time.

There will be a Full Moon on April 10 at 21 degrees of Libra. Uranus will also be opposing Libra in Aries. More than likely there will be civil unrest and a lot of global issues that might turn quite deadly.

To better understand yourself and others I highly recommend you read The Invisible Partners: How the Male and Female in Each of Us Affects Our Relationships by John Sanford. We are definitely in topsy-turvy times and integration of the whole self will alleviate so much of the stress you are feeling. This is also the time of year when winter thaws and trees’ leaves begin to reappear and flowers bloom.

We also are offering a meditation to help integrate with your Shadow. Simply send a request to albert@sedonaintensive.com  and we will send you the link. Nothing works better to recalibrate your physical body than meditation. Om. Tat. Sat. Om

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 18)–The first two weeks of this Solar Cycle will be incredible for you. You might think the world was your oyster with Mercury in Aries. But your ruling planet Mars transiting Taurus will slow you down a bit. Venus is also retrograde in Aries. There is an old saw, ‘Live life on life’s terms.” This admonition is to remind you that there are a lot of people motoring through the world with all its hopes, wishes and dreams. This will be a touch and go Solar Cycle for you. Practice patience, not your long or strong suit.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–Today Pope Francis said to get off Social Media and pick up the Bible.  I agree with part of his admonition. This entree into your menu for the day is to practice restraint of tongue and pen. Also we’ve thrown in a Chinese fortune cookie that reminds you, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” Since we are all in the Fire Element Cycle this month you might be tempted to roll the dice or buy a batch of raffle tickets. You would do better to support the Humane Society or Meals on Wheels. There are too many side roads to financial disaster right now to chance it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Some who preach the gospel of how to detach from the nuttiness and half-truths in the world is to embrace Saturn with all of its tools for how to change every stinking, rotten thing in our lives. I peeked ahead and Saturn will mosey into Capricorn the middle of December. So, you still have to remind yourself that truth is almost never found in the greener pasture across yonder hills. Beauty as well may be in the eye of the beholder but its radiance is to be savored in the choice to be as God created you to be. Ask your next-door neighbor Scorpio what goodies Saturn brought into his or her life.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–Known to be cagier and smarter about finances than most of us, this is the time to be cautious about how and where you spend your moolah. The best days for you now are April first through the eighth, with Mercury in Taurus. Then Mercury goes retrograde for three weeks. You’ll get help from Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn, but Mars in Taurus throughout this Solar Cycle will cause you to fret and be stirred up about your ability to make right choices. Never forget, runaway stock markets turn and take away what they gave you. Caution is your watchword.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–You and your ruling planet Mercury in Taurus are in good stead from March 31 until April 9. Mercury goes retrograde until May 3. You are also being plagued by Saturn in Sagittarius, although Saturn will go retrograde on April 5. This will soften the blow but be alert about what notions come your way. Even though you might be feeling a bit shaky at work, stay put for a few more weeks. Health and mental insights are strong.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–This is a seed cycle for you Goats. Whether in a dream or daydream–inspired by a book or movie–a notion to solve a big problem you have been having will come to you in a flash. It is something to benefit a lot of people as well as bring recognition to you. No need to seek a patent or to protect what has been given to you. Simply write an outline of the splendid idea and when you are ready build a website. For those of you Capricorns who have been abiding and surviving since Pluto went into Capricorn January of 2008, your days of limitations are over. Spread your wings and fly upward with what inspiration goaded you.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–The Solar energies in Aries for 30 days will make you feel as if all systems are on go. It is a time for you to take a few risks, but never roll the dice after Mercury, your ruling planet, goes retrograde on April 9th. May looks a lot brighter and safer in all areas of your life. All signs are being cautioned about their financial security at this time. Venus and Mercury will be retrograde at the same time. The characteristic about you Twins is that you can always make do with whatever life hands you.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–A Wizard once told me that the greatest blessings come at the hardest times in our lives. If that be true, you might be feeling like all that loveliness and light assigned to you Scales of Justice was a misapplication. Your endurance will pay off big time when Jupiter in Libra goes direct in motion June 9. When Venus finally leaves Aries for quite awhile on June 6 you will feel more like your old self. The fortunate aspect is that Saturn in Sagittarius will be in favorable position for many more months. Patience and perseverance are your watchwords for now.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–No sign is more connected to the vast Universe and its people than you Water Bearers. Whether it is in a song or a bright idea you take whichever one to its fruition. You are teeming with a need to bring something to those in your inner circle. Your children will begin to read your intentions and find what is trying to be created through them. No sign is more connected to the will of the Divine than are you. Aquarians may be too forceful for some but will move mountains through others. This is a magic month for you.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–Make sure you keep your head down around March 27th when there is a New Moon at 7 degrees of Aries. We are in an Aries Solar Cycle, which squares you Lunar Types. You must practice going inward to see and hear divine guidance. Many times we feel that we must act on an idea or an event that transpires in our life. These days are not for action but for contemplation. As Joel Goldsmith wrote in his book, The Thunder of Silence, find a quiet place within and do nothing.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–For all of you Scorpio Masters of the Universe you are being called to hold the bright light of self-awareness, showing the way to self-correction. What’s going on all over the world is self-will run riot. The hallmarks of the Collective Consciousness are being unleashed as quickly as those of us seekers can throw the switch. Scorpios are required to go through a Death and Rebirth process in order to shuck the lower octaves of your sign. There is a new day coming, seemingly, sooner than anyone thought.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–You should still be feeling the powerful effect of the Solar Eclipse New Moon on February 26th. Doors opened for you. Depression and general malaise lifted and you were transported to that place that makes you unique: able to become who you were created to be and with all the support from others than you need. To some these might be perilous times but for us Fishes we hear the drum roll and the urge to do what compels us from the Highest Order. Always remember that delusion was invented by Pisces but so was finely -tuned creativity. Always tell yourself the difference between the two.

Couples Who Went to the Extreme to Save Their Marriage
An interview with Carl and Joyce Gioia in RedBook Magazine

When Joyce Gioia couldn’t think of anything else to save her marriage and solve the trust issues that were tearing her and her husband, Carl, apart, she decided to make an investment into what she hoped could be a life-long, loving marriage.They packed their bags and headed to the Sedona Intensive: A $16,000 week-long intensive therapy session that helps people release all self-destructive behaviors.

The purpose of this particular therapy was to help them become stronger individuals, and the counseling was never couple-based. In fact, they only saw each other once per morning at 7 a.m. when they attended a 12-step meeting. The meetings addressed addictions—but it had nothing to do with substance abuse—it was focused on things like work addictions and co-dependence issues.

Between the supervised journaling, visits with renowned mental health professionals, and their genuine will to make things work, Carl and Joyce were able to recover their relationship.

“I believed that the nature and the intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing a resolution in our marriage,” Joyce said. And she was right. By looking at each other as total individuals, they were able to discover what was most important to their spouse and cater to those specific needs. Two years have passed and they’re more in love than ever.

Q & A

RedBook – Explain what the Sedona intensive is. 

The Sedona Intensive is a rigorous, weeklong self-exploration. During the week, through concentrated journaling and visits with mental and physical health professionals, we each invested a lot of effort and energy in self-discovery. This self-learning experience is designed and managed by well-respected psychologist Albert Gaulden and includes daily meeting with Albert to monitor progress and ensure results.

RedBook – How did you find out about it?

My brother, who is a nationally acclaimed Emergency Department physician, had gone through this experience with his wife Amber and highly recommended it to us.

RedBook – What did you do at the Sedona intensive? 

Every day, we began by attending a 12-Step Meeting with AA. Then, we had a rotating schedule of appointments with a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a yoga instructor, and/or an energy-balancing professional, and of course, Albert. In our “spare” time, we took independent hikes, though the spectacular Sedona canyons.

RedBook – What made you decide to go to this? 

We decided to do it, because nothing else seemed to be working to resolve our trust issues. I believed that the nature and intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing resolution of our marriage.

RedBook – How did it change your relationship?

We both worked very hard to discover why we engaged in self-destructive behaviors that stood in the way of our sharing the loving relationship we both thought possible. Two years later, we are more in love than ever before.

RedBook – Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, absolutely, if the two people are prepared to approach the experience with open hearts and minds and they are truly interested in doing the work to strengthen the relationship.

Lindsay, as I said before, “I honestly do not know what else we might have done that would have been so effective in turning the relationship around”.

From the Blog

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.”
