Astrology Newsletter: Gemini 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 Gemini Newsletter for 2017!

The Signs of the Time–We have just entered the time of the year when flexibility and a capacity to change directions will be in celestial vogue. Some of us are wont to refer to the Twins as Gemini Jay; in reference to a man we once knew that couldn’t live a minute of his life unless he took a poll to see who he was and what others wanted him to do. Silliness, perhaps, but the Twins are known to change a bit with whomever and wherever they’ve been most recently. I am making this a long and winding road because we all need a bit of malleability particularly at this mid-point in our astro-year. You may say that an evolved Gemini wants all the facts before he makes up his mind.

There is a New Moon at 4 degrees of Gemini on May 25 which also happens to be Ascension Day. Know what that means? Look it up. That’s what Wikipedia was created for. This is a particularly powerul time for all Geminis and secondarily other Air Signs, Libra and Aquarius. Fire Signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius should benefit as well.

There is a Full Moon on June 9 at 18 degrees of Sagittarius. This is a caution to you Archers to stop what you’re doing and reevaluate if the task is worth your time. It is also a general cycle for Sags to begin to reinvent themselves with all the laborious requirements of Saturn in their sign.

Jupiter in Libra will go direct in motion at 13 degrees on June 9. All Librans can now begin to benefit from the largesse of the Upper World. You will feel as if you’ve just been released from shackles free to go and do what they do best, weigh and balance all propositions and then see where the chips fall.

Neptune in Pisces goes retrograde on June 16. Saturn and Pluto continue in retrograde in Sagittarius and Capricorn, respectively.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 18)–Venus will be in the Sign of the Ram until June 6. This is a great aspect for Aries, investments, vacation or conjuring up a great idea or two. Beginning May 20, your compatibility with the Sun in Gemini will also hold you in good stead. And Uranus in latter degrees of Aries will benefit those of you born April 10 to the 18th. You might want to watch your back and bottom line from time to time with Jupiter retrograde in Libra opposing Aries. The New Moon on May 25 at 04 degrees of Gemini again will be a booster aspect for you. The Full Moon on June 9 at 18 degrees of Sagittarius will be a plus.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–It may be time for you felines and big cats to reexamine any tendency to be grandiose or too self-centered. Your ruler, the Sun, may be the Light of the Universe but you are just one of billions to bask in it. This Solar Cycle is telling you to step away from money, property and prestige and just be one of the ordinary folks. If you dig deeper your intuition will let you know that being able to share what you have been given will lift your spirits more than all the tea in China or money in the bank. See where there is need to help and be glad you are able to do so.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–You have arrived at the last learning curve of Saturn. In December this year Saturn moves into the sign it rules, Capricorn. No one is ever the same when Saturn goes into the sign in which it started when a person was born. The touchstones of what you have absorbed and hopefully been edified by are: 1) your tendency to roam when the going gets tough–now you stay put and learn a lessons or two; 2) your relationship with God, a higher power, deepens and widens; 3) you come to know that you were never who you thought you were. Now you know more about you that works.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–Mercury will be in Taurus until June 6, giving you cool, clear thinking. Venus starts its transit through Taurus on June 6 until the 4th of July.  Finances are probably fair and balanced–just don’t push the river. On June 4th Mars will be in the compatible sign of Cancer. All of these aspects are highly positive for you Bulls. There is a bit of red flag caution with Mars in Cancer because these moon-ruled sorts like control and nurturing, not roaring down the speedway like the souped-up cars at the Indy 500. Mars tends to cause a lot of trouble, so stay out of harm’s way.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–Tillie the Toilers and Handy Hanks had best remember that this is generally not your best time of the year. However, your ruling planet, Mercury will be in compatible Taurus until June 6. Until then you can orchestrate, retool and rebuild old hopes, wishes and dreams. And then with Mercury in Gemini, the mood in the outer world will be too loosey goosey for you more reasonable and think-it-through types. Here’s a suggestion: take a class with a solid guidebook to teach you something new. Check night schools for direction.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–If no one ever told you what I am about to share, you heard it here first. No sign is more connected to the infrastructure of the world than you. Capricorn, when certain planets enter the sign of the Goat, you are connected to the moving line of I-Ching. The reason so many signs deem you cold and indifferent is that you were born with a higher degree of universal responsibility. Some of us snap our fingers and think the Organizers and Arrangers of Lower World need to march to the beat of our basic needs. That is not how Creation and Evolution operates.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–Golly gee, how do we tell thee that there are lot of positives for both you Twins?  This is your Solar Cycle so roll around in high clover. Your ruler Mercury recently out of retrograde with be in Taurus–which might slow you down–until June 6 and then it sidles into Gemini. You’ll have all the energy any human machine could need with Mars in Gemini through your Solar Cycle. It doesn’t hurt Venus is in Aries until June 6. The opposition from Saturn in Sagittarius is somewhat of a red flag. Pay attention as you soak up the klieg light.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–The best remedy for the ongoing dilemma of Jupiter retrograde in your Sun Sign is to find a solid core of self-realization. What most people don’t know about you Venus-ruled Scales of Justice types is that when you are at the end of your tether you either explode in uncontrollable rage or seek the asylum of your internal resources of “this too shall pass” and continue with what you are doing. It is not all about the Jupiter effect that is happening with you Librans. Rather it is learning to live life on life’s terms. Nothing will deter you if you find that place of survival and self-reliance on a God of your own understanding.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 18)–Some High Master once determined that resonance was stronger than the spoken word. It is this magical otherworldly notion upon which Water Bearers build their identity and sense of purpose. Ruled by Uranus, the more unusual and tuned-in to the Upper World than all signs, Aquarians know what we need to do to not only to survive but to thrive. You have been more powerfully calibrated at this time with Uranus in Aries. The caveat is that not all people in any sign are at the same level of Consciousness. All of us are at varying levels of Awareness.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–Mercury in Taurus this Solar Cycle until June 6 will benefit you immensely. The New and Full Moons are not as helpful. Always remember that the Moon travels through all signs in a Solar Cycle.  Your best days for help from the great beyond are May 23, 24; May 27, 28; May 31, June 1; June 5, 6; June 16, 17. A Wizard once told me that our defects of character are like leopard spots; they fade with age but never go away. You will always have a tendency to want your way and to advise without consent. With the Solar and Lunar Moons out of synch with you, take a rest. Stay out of trouble.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–It bears sharing with you Scorpions that the recent Mercury retrograde seemed to dent and ding your life path–but only if you let it. There is a Full Moon in Scorpio on June 9 at 18 degrees of Sagittarius. A Full Moon is the universe’s way to tell you very deep and probative types that the wait is over for you. If you center yourself with service to others rather than self-absorption you will go and do and think and be exactly as the Upper World would have you do. Meditate daily for God’s will to be done with you as the catalyst. “On your mark, get set…”

PISCES (February 19 – March 19)–Mars in Gemini until June 4 may have you Fishes squirming like a cat on a hot tin roof. When it goes into Cancer things won’t be much better for you soulful sensitive Pisces because there could be a lot of shame and blame all around the table. The good news is that Mercury is in Taurus–your best ally in the Zodiac–until June 6. On June 6 throughout the Solar Cycle Venus will be in Taurus–thus, great times for you Bulls. Pluto in Capricorn will bolster you. Never forget that Saturn in Sagittarius is an irritant. Stick to who you are and what you know.

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”.

Joyce Gioia

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.”
