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

leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.”

The Signs of the Time–There will be a New Moon on August 2 at 10 degrees of Leo. There will be an uptick in all areas of their lives, not only for the Lions and Lionesses, but also to other Fire Signs, Aries and Sagittarius as well as Air Signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Move forward with new projects, from rehabbing your house or yourself. This is a perfect time to let go of negative and destructive traits. It is also a phase to feel exuberant and positive about you generally.
There will be a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on August 18 at 25 degrees of Aquarius. According to astrology, Lunar Eclipses give us a glimpse into what Carl Jung referred to as the “shadow self.” The shadow is simply the dark side of someone’s self personality. What is dark is always known only indirectly through projection upon others. This is why the first meeting with the shadow is considered to be a moral effort. Also one discovers his dark side as like coming from the outside (because of the psychical projection). The difficulty of absorbing the shadow is huge if we have to face alone this powerful feature.
The shadow is the first to be met when one starts his work of self analysis. As long as the shadow is not assimilated and controlled by the conscious self it may appear in dreams and fantasies mingled with the anima archetype. Thus one can dream of bad women or witches, of women with personal high power and destructive impulses affecting man’s mind and Eros. There’s also the phallic mother (a female figure endowed with phallic, aggressive powers) – if the dreamer repressed his own aggressiveness.
The dark shadow may appear as an archetype too. The devil’s images and features (symbols) are very common to men’s dreams. Also the Devil-like characters – who compensate the luminous figure of the Saviors – share the shadow realm. The big life lesson with facing and converting one’s shadow is the path to complete self-empowerment.
I also want to remind all signs that these astrology columns are generalities for planets in signs in aspect to one another. In order to find answers to concerns you have in your personal life it would be advisable to get a personal chart forecast for yourself.
Fire Signs
ARIES (March 19 – April 18)–Luminaries and a lot of planets are in alignment for you this Solar Cycle. The New Moon on August 2 at 10 degrees of Leo as well as the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 25 degrees of Aquarius on August 18 will bless you beyond words. Mercury and Venus in Leo for a few weeks will enhance your confidence. Saturn in Sagittarius will give you powerful blowback as well. Always be aware that Uranus in Aries can bring the unexpected as well as the gusher you have been impatiently waiting for. The wrinkle in time for you is that your ruling planet, Mars, is in Scorpio which could cause you some “out-of-the-blue” exposure that you don’t need. Keep your nose clean and practice utter discretion in all areas of your life.
LEO (July 22 – August 21)–If you have ever wanted to preen and strut your stuff, this is your prime time of the year. Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Leo which means that all systems are ready for you to push the “Go” button. A New Moon on August 2 gives you a fresh start in love and financial matters. Always remember that you have a tendency to spend when you ought to save and to throw the dice rather than put them on ice. Mercury goes into Virgo on July 31 and Venus into Virgo on August 8. And stop the blowing and going clock before August 18 because there is a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in 25 degrees of Aquarius, opposing you. Lay low. Take an inventory. This could be a very yellow flag time of the month. Wager nothing on chance.
SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–The capacity to change your reckless ways will hold you in good stead this Solar Cycle. Living one day at a time makes sense, as no two days are going to be the same. You will continue to benefit from Uranus in Aries and the Mercury in Leo until July 31 and Venus in Leo until August 6. The Sun in Leo is also a better time for you Archers as well. The overlay will continue to be the demands of Saturn in your Sun Sign. Its contractive nature gives you the opportunity for introspection, meditation and concentration to work out karma in the process of evolution. The key to dealing with Saturn is discipline. Your innate make-up has always wanted you to be the master of your destiny. Work diligently and let God show you where He wants you to go.
Earth Signs
TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–The truth be told (which we are about to do) your ruling planet Venus soars through a lot of signs in any given year. At the start of this Solar Cycle Mercury and Venus are in Leo–not very good news for you–until July 31 and August 6, respectively. Then those two planets go into Virgo, another earth sign, which will be more harmonious for you. What aids and abets your soul urge during the less harmonious times of the year is to get into a Pilates class; meditate on a daily basis; find a spiritual advisor who can remind you that “the love of money is the root of all evil.” It’s not just moolah that you might obsess over, but also you have a tendency to nurture detachment and less interaction. Be more open, judiciously.
VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–July 31 Mercury, your ruling planet, sidles into your Sun Sign for the whole Leo Solar Cycle. Venus on August 8 goes into Virgo until August 30. All of this means that if you sidestep the affects of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on July 18 at 25 degrees of Aquarius you should be a few steps ahead of the maddening crowd. Bottom line, your coffers should be overflowing and whatever you speak or write should be pure gold. Please make this a time for you to live from your heart beat and not the garbled-chatter of your overloaded mind. May we suggest you learn to meditate–stilling the sound of the theatres of your noggin?
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–Write it in your mental notepad that some Solar Cycles are better for you than others; this is not one of your best Cycles. Nonetheless you Goats are happy to trudge the road of happy destiny and let the rest of the world go by. Take heart that with Pluto still in your Sun Sign, Capricorns walk to the beat of their own drummer. Think of your mission as a self-starter and many times a rebuilder after things fall apart. If you want to know what signs to hire on as part of your team here they are: Other Capricorns, Taurus, and Virgo; Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. You and God are the architects of your life. Keep the blueprints under lock and key until you are confident the time is right to act on them.
Air Signs
GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–You can play the drums in a parade or give a party to celebrate the new opportunities in your life. The sun in Leo and you are very harmonious. Uranus in Aries is blessing you. And even Saturn in Sagittarius has forced you to get out of see-saw thinking and commit. The New Moon in Leo is a God-send. The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon is nudging you into action. We suggest you keep a journal to remind you of where you’ve been and now where you are headed. Keep in mind that your blessing and curse both offer different alternatives: 1) blessing is that you are on a preordained path to a new life and 2) the curse is that your indecisiveness nature can let fear keep you stuck. Ain’t it great to see so many open doors?
LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–The luminaries of this Leo Solar Cycle benefit you greatly. So many of us follow the Sun and ignore the mysterious and integrative value of the Moon. The New Moon on August 2 at 10 degrees of Leo will sharpen your ability to make smarter choices in business and in your personal life. And the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 25 degrees of Aquarius will also shine fortuitously on you ladies and gentlemen of the Scales of Justice. Never shall you escape the seemingly never-ending power of the planet Pluto in Capricorn like a battering ram against all your well-thought-out decisions. Now you know how the Supreme Court Justices feel when the opposing forces lash out at them. Stay the course.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–The focus of your astrological rendering this month is the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 25 degrees of Aquarius on August 18. Your time to reevaluate and change the course in many areas of your life is now. Known to be fully self-motivated and won’t fall for other people’s emotional overload, it is definitely time to take inventory to see what’s next. This is when inspiration from your Higher Self needs to affect the choices you make. What will always be eternal with you Water Bearers is your caring concern for the less fortunate. You don’t give ‘til it hurts, rather because it feels good inside yourself.
Water Signs
CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–You probably heard from an astrology sage that the Moon goes into a different sign every two and a half days–like clockwork. And that some days the Moon is Void of Course, i.e. it has gone past any aspect to any planet in the universe. This creates a vacuum similar to when Mercury is retrograde. Cancers do best in other Water Signs, Pisces and Scorpio, as well as Earth Signs, Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. You are getting all of this Zodiac education because you have a reputation for being erratic and moody-blues. This, due to your ruling luminary, the Moon, goes in and out of so many signs with which Cancers themselves are not so in tune with. When you have a few days of tests and trials always remember that “this, too, shall pass.” It’s called living life on life’s terms.
SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–Mars, the old and battered ruling planet of you Scorpions, will be in your Sun Sign until August 3. The upside of this aspect is that if you have shed a lot of old destructive and need-to-get-even karma your intuition will shine bright in a lot of life-on-life’s terms struggles. Your Magician and Wizard will reappear and you will be able to stay in your peaceful center at the most trying times. Remember that what other people think of you is none of your business–but what you think of you is your concern. In direct proportion to how well you dealt with harsh encounters when Saturn was in your Sun Sign from October 6, 2012 until it left for Sagittarius in September 19, 2015 determines how masterful you are in all your affairs during this Mars phase. Remember you are the supreme sign of the Zodiac!
PISCES (February 18 – March 18)–With Neptune, your ruling planet, sitting like the Foo bird atop your head, you need to be journaling and praying and meditating daily. Never forget your weakest link is your self-delusion. No one doubts our intuition and amazing capacity for being guided by the God Above, but we have to fess up that we can also get so far out on a limb that we might fall for any thought impression that floats through our mind. The reason meditation is so necessary, especially now, is that most of us know that God speaks when we get quiet. A tip for this Solar Cycle is to tend to your business and let others do the same. And always remember in the Upper World where God lives, we are all equal to Him.

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.”
