Enjoy the Gemini Newsletter for 2020!

The Signs of the Time — I don’t care if Santa Claus bellows, “Go on about your business as if nothing ever happened,” tell him what the Divine Miss M. would, “Shut your pie hole.”

Beginning June 18 through July 12 Mercury is retrograde in Cancer. Since we are a Cancerian nation, I would say that this retrograde asks us to be extra careful and to continue as if Covid-19 is still alive and virulent. Any important decisions should be made after Mercury goes direct.

There is a Lunar Eclipse on June 5 at 15 degrees of Sagittarius. Solar Eclipses are more earth-shaking than Lunar Eclipses but both can affect all our lives in many areas. Venus continues to be retrograde in Gemini until June 28. Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto continue in retrograde. Pluto was the havoc maker with the event of Covid-19. Now that Pluto is retrograde you should see some breaks in devastation by the virulence of this toxic overlay. Pluto goes direct again October 2.

The New York Times printed an article on May 7 dissing a few astrologers who predicted all these wonderful things that were supposed to happen to many signs early in 2020–yet none mentioned anything like Covid-19. Let me be quite frank about astrology and how you should view it. Planets in Signs have tendencies and oftentimes a popular astrologist will hit bulls-eye in a situation. And then they miss by a country mile.

I have always considered myself more a proponent and practitioner of the incredible and masterful Dr. Carl Jung, who used astrological archetypes to help those who came to him for help to process difficulties in relationships. Chief among his intelligent and workable solutions was the Shadow, or the nature of the man within the woman or the woman within the man. His quote that sold me on him and his, “you can be neither healthy nor happy until you individuate and click connect to the only relationship that will ever make you happy: the Shadow self which you were born with.” I must say that I warned in late 2019 that the first few months in 2020 would be horrendous. The basis of my analysis was the planets, Saturn and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn. The information I wrote for all signs in April was with stark awareness of Corona Virus.

Monthly Insights for the Signs

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 19 – April 18)–Mars, your planet ruler, will be in Pisces this whole Solar Cycle. That means that you will have a tendency to be a bit more sorrowful and emotional–you will seem to your spouse or boss to have had a walk-in. If you succeed in this 30-day period you will feel more like your old self on June 25 when Mars goes into Aries. Hey, you Rams, if this year has been about anything it has been about adaptability. So, this month change you to change the world you touch.

LEO (July 22 – August 22)–You may want to see how and where to learn a few new tricks this month because your old soft shoe and dance won’t cut it. Now that the country has started to open up it is not time for you to expect applause at every corner you turn. Leo loves the limelight and all the sparkle he or she can conjure up, but you all had best find a new rhythm for your former bossa nova beat. Try a little giving to the needy instead of taking for you alone.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Your ruling planet Jupiter will be retrograde in Capricorn this entire Solar Cycle. This means that you get to retool and rethink where you will go to have your life’s path unfold from within your capacity to start the remodel of your heretofore efforts. I often say that the Ninth House of Sagittarius is God’s house because you Archers are the one who bring the spiritual resonance into this earthly dominion. Stay true to what your heart is telling you and you will never go wrong.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–Your ruling planet, Venus will be retrograde in Gemini until June 25. This means that in addition to not making long or short-term leases and purchases, you also have to adapt to the flexibility of Gemini for several weeks. On June 25 when Venus goes into Cancer you will feel like you are cruising on the Good Ship Lollipop. This is a good 30 days to eat less and exercise more as well as to smile when you meet a stranger and pick up the tab for friends, whether you want to or not. This is a changing line of I-Ching for you Bulls. Enjoy it.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)–“Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey…” could have been the Nursery Rhyme for you Virgos this solar cycle. Instead let me remind all of you who grew up with the fun ditties that had life lessons within, that it is time for you Mercury-ruled Virgos to turn the page and write a new resume for the wiser, more-open minded girls and boys you are turning out to be. The world will never be the same as it was, so start rewriting your script.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–Your ruling planet, Saturn is retrograde this month in the Sign of Aquarius so you had better rethink any carefully laid plans. Saturn will not go direct until September 28 so you have a long time to refine your blueprints. Since you are the architects of our very structure on Earth you had best learn to listen to the Higher Power in order to bring something into our lives that make them better. We have all been experiencing what selfishness and self-centeredness got us: the deadly Covid-19. Lift us up. We are waiting.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)–Mercury will go retrograde at 14 degrees of Cancer on June 18 until it goes direct on July 12 at 5 degrees of Cancer. The retrograde envisages mixed fortunes during the month. The focus will be on changing yourself to the image you have of yourself. Though there will be many hurdles to this, chances are you will succeed in your efforts. Mainly the opposition will come from family members and social contacts. The Lunar Eclipse on June 5 at 15 degrees of Sagittarius will ask that you to listen to your own inner voice and not the do’s and do nots from others.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)–Your ruling planet Venus will be retrograde all month in the Sign of Gemini so you had better hold your hand, not raise or fold because it will go direct on June 25 and remain in Gemini until August 7. Since the Twin’s Sign is mucho compatible with you, this is the time to right all the financial and relationship mistakes you made during this retrograde. You wrote the book on patience (as well as dilly-dally) so do yourself and your bottom line a favor and make all the smart moves after June 25.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–Your Hard Rock this Solar Cycle is not being able to be a free range chicken plucking and clucking all over the barnyard. Your assignment from on high is to tend to your own business, live on what you make and be as grateful as much for what you don’t have as much as for what you do. There is a new day dawning for you Water Bearers and you are going to be a pleased as the non-alcoholic cool-aid you drink to embrace something new and exciting. Praise God from whom all Blessings flow.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 21 – July 21)–You may find a lot to cry about this month. Mercury goes retrograde and direct for you Moon-ruled Crabs so you better pay close attention to what you say and who sits at Mama or Papa’s table to dine. You will be right at home with these uprooting and drastic changes as the US is a cancer country. It may be time to downsize as well as spend less and save more. Not a time to throw caution to the wind.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–The crown jewel tiara or crown will sit atop your heads this Solar Cycle because no one was able to abide, hide and wait, quite like you Scorpions during the quarantine. If you live with the awareness that Mercury is retrograde–don’t buy or sell or sign that contract for your life story with a publisher–until July 12, you will handle the hand life deals you with charm and finesse. (Psst, don’t volunteer your life’s savings on somebody else’s bad ideas either).

PISCES (February 18 – March 18)–Your ruler Neptune has been enjoying squatter rights in your Pisces House he has been occupying for a few years now. The redeemed Fishes are going to get through the day without lying or cheating and doing the best they can to have a good life with honesty as their password. Actually the Rules of the Game of Life on Earth have changed. The newest challenge is to understand that life is about all of us and not the chosen few, or should I say the 1%?

Featured Person of the Month

Ode to Frances B. from New York City

I decided to write a paean to my new best friend Frances because of how deeply we click-connected from “hello.” Frances and I were born a day apart; she, on March 5 and me on March 6. Frances is 95 years younger than springtime and has been sober more than 63 years. Although she claims to have difficulty seeing she can hear a pin drop across the room.

Ms. Frances is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Carnegie Hall in New York City. For years she was a fundraiser for Non-Profit Organizations like an Adoption Agency, Lennox Hospital, the U.S.O., and the Settlement House among many others. Frances was married 2 ½ times; the ½ man is an amazing backstory made for the movies.

What tingles and touches me is her no-nonsense straight-laced approach to life and how to motor through the harshest difficulties. I once attended a 12-Step Meeting in her apartment with a small group of friends that was electrifying. From my perch in life it is her silent essence, in and out of sobriety, that helps and heals those who need her strength and wise counsel. Frances B. would be Rhapsody in Blue if she were George Gershwin or A Midsummer Night’s Dream if William Shakespeare.  We talk by telephone every Sunday and I must say it is the high point of my week. So, dear heart, I can’t imagine never having met you because you are this man’s best friend.

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.”
