The Signs of the Time — We start with what lies ahead with the Corona Virus. Learn the lessons of the Pandemic: clean up the environment by stronger climate laws and other ways we have been damaging our Motherland. Think of the world as about all of us and not just the crème de la crème. Welcome to the Summer Solstice. Hot times are here as well as opportunities to change the things you can: yourself. And also this is the 31 days in which you will undergo whatever the Eclipses have in store for you.

On June 21 there is a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 0 degrees of Cancer. The effects of this phenomenon will majorly apply to Cancers and in a minor way to other water signs, Scorpio and Pisces.

In astrology, a solar eclipse could bring a bold beginning, setting us on a new path that we hadn’t imagined for ourselves. While it may be surprising—or not something you even expected—a solar eclipse has a bigger vision in store for us. We have a finite focus as human beings, and it’s natural to concentrate on what’s in front of us. At times, this can limit our perspectives, and cause us to miss out on opportunities.

Solar eclipses might snatch away the familiar temporarily, forcing us to consider options we would never otherwise explored. Although this can cause upheaval, eclipses are “cruel to be kind.” Major growth can happen during these cosmic power outages. This is when we should leap into new (and generally improved) terrain, even if we feel forced there by circumstances beyond our control.

On July 5 there will be a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 13 degrees of Capricorn. Not only Capricorns, but Cancers, Libra and Aries will also be affected although to a lesser degree.

Lunar Eclipses are viewed in astrology as being deeply transformative times that can bring abrupt and sudden change. While this is true, there is another side to Eclipses that is important to remember. Eclipses are like the cosmic helping hand of the universe. Imagine the energy of an eclipse like a universal hand that reaches down from the heavens and puts you where you need to be.

The good thing about eclipses is that generally you can trust the direction they are guiding you in. Eclipses bring about events that are part of the cosmic plan. These are important times for thinking about your life, and who you need to forgive or what you need to let go of and move on from.

Mercury is still retrograde but will go direct on July 12 at 5 degrees of Cancer. Although the Stock Market has yo-yo-ed due in part to the unemployment stats, the general fall-out from Covid-19 as well as the civil unrest that has swept the country, be very leery of the Stock Market and all financial matters at this time. Also, do not sign contracts on houses or other assets. It is unwise to quit or start a new job. Mercury retrograde is also a time to kick back and stay out of harm’s way.

Monthly Insights for the Signs

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 19)–When your ruling planet Mars goes into Aries June 29, Aryans will be in hog heaven until the second week in September when Mars goes into Taurus. But hey, you hurly burly boys and girls have more than two months to twist and shout. Be careful what you pray for because you will sooner or later have to pay for what you prayed. Mars in Aries is high energy, big opportunities in stocks and bonds and anything else you can afford to pay for. The caution is not to get ahead of your selves. Stay in your own lane and for goodness sake’s don’t tell others how to buy and sell or where to go and when. This is your ride. Be careful.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–Although your ruler, the Sun, is in Cancer this Solar Cycle, Venus in Gemini and Mars in Aries are your good friends. All Planets in any sign are in somewhat of a holding pattern from Covid-19, you still have to work and live. Since you like to shine, do it when no one is looking. If there was ever a time when we all must go inward in order to be alert and alive in the outer world, this is it. Use the hand life has been dealing you and rest assured just like all things, Corona Virus will dissipate and you’ll be left with other floors to mop.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–You may still be shaking like the proverbial leaf after than Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on June 5. Now that your ruling planet Jupiter is in Capricorn you have to toe the mark and mind your manners. Capricorn is as orderly as you are free-range chicken. Saturn-ruled Capricorn has a load of patience and can bide its time, you on the other hand want everything your heart desires yesterday. If life is about anything it is learning lessons that are not like candy cane or hot fudge sundaes. Rather learning curves are about core changes for the better.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)–With the earthquake planet Uranus in Taurus for a while longer, watch all the steps you take and don’t get greedy. Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn are great solid ground for your long-term efforts. Although you can be slow and deliberate, you are also known to be thin-skinned and stubborn. Neptune will also add a dash of hope to your month. Your ruling planet Venus will do you no favors this month in Gemini–which will make affairs of the heart and pocket book a bit too indecisive for you Bulls. Stick closer to what you know and trust and let the rest of the world go by.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–Your ruling planet, Mercury continues retrograde in Cancer. Although Mercury retrograde is mostly time to stick-to-what-you’ve-got, Mercury will go direct on July 12 at 5 degrees of Cancer–compatible with you Virgos. Nothing beats giving the busy brain a time-out, which is what Mercury retrograde requires of you. When someone asks you, “What has been the advantage to Covid-19?” Tell them the Star Gazer said, “Change you to change the world you touch.” We all created this ominous phenomenon and by different actions and acceptance of our part, life can get better. Love to all you Virgos this month.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–With Jupiter in Capricorn until December 20, your load may not be any lighter but your resolve is more in tune with the challenge. You are aided and abetted with Saturn, your ruling planet and Pluto in Capricorn. You Goats are also going to feel like you are on a cruise with Neptune in Pisces, in compatibility with you as well. No sign has borne the brunt of the waning Covid-19 any better than you have. My hat is off to you Caps and my praise along with it because life is about change and the Collective, not just about our personal needs. FYI, Corona Virus started from the massive Greed all over the world.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)–Well the Sun has finally arrived in Cancer and that should bring a smile to the frown on your face. Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces should add hope to you sensitive souls. Most of all there is a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 0 degrees of Cancer which is a huge celestial push and shove in the right direction for you. Since the USA is Cancer, the Coronus Virus should be winding down and things back to a better place. But never forget that there was a divine purpose for the pandemic: to teach us about being more judicious about how we treat Planet Earth.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–If there has been an upside to Venus in retrograde in Gemini for many weeks, Gemini is a sign compatible with you Libras. You have until August 8 when Venus goes into Cancer, not the most compatible sign for your ruling planet. You need to dodge the armed-and-dangerous planetary energies of Mars in Aries. Mars in Aries the sign it rules is an aggressive time–don’t push the river. Stay put. Libras love harmony; Aries loves the fight. Libra loves peace and Aries war. And the most important memo for you today is “Love is all there is.”

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–Several bon mot for you Water Bearers this month. Although Mercury has been retrograde in Gemini it will go direct on June 12 and will bless you big time. When it goes into Leo on August 5 you will still be able to see and reason things more clearly. Another benefit to you is Mars in Aries, a sign compatible with you as well. If any sign can rise above the daunting Corona Virus and continue your life’s work, it is you Aquarians.  Be cautious of your ruling planet, Uranus in Taurus, which squares you. Never fear. Your theme song is “Nothing can stop me now.”

Water Signs

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–Starting with the Solar Eclipse New Moon at 0 degrees of Cancer on June 21, this may just be the best 31 days of the year so far for you. Mars all Solar Cycle will be a bit off-putting as Mars in Aries abrades and is oftentimes aggressive and unpleasant affecting the serenity of Cancer. Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn will do you no favors.  Neptune in Pisces will give you a leg-up. Since you and the Red, White and Blue share the same birth month, perhaps you should rededicate yourself to telling the truth and sticking by it.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–When Mercury goes direct at 5 degrees of Cancer on July 12 you can feel the comfort of the compatibility of your mental processes. But keep your head down a bit because Mars in Aries all month will do you no favors. The bottom line for you is that the turnaround you experience in the face of Corona Virus will continue to favor you in more ways than three. Always give thanks to the God of your own understanding and you will continue to live life on life’s terms.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–With your ruling planet Neptune in Pisces for a few years you have either written the Greatest Story ever told, drunk your lover or mother under the table, or have made a lot of headway in being a softer, kinder and gentler soul. The recent Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees of Sagittarius may have clipped your wings a bit. Mercury retrograde beginning June 18 will also cause a lot of upset and confusion, especially with computers and everything electrical. Mars in Aries will also prove to be too harsh and severe for your Fishes taste. This would be a good time to pray and meditate and get to know your inner world better.

Moments and Windstorms: Take Back Your Power

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.”
