The Signs of the Time — The best news we can bring you this Solar Cycle is that the God of us all is going to see to it that we get what the Collective reborn with us deserves by our actions. For those of you who are stuck with the idea that we live but one life and that’s it have been reading too many smut novels to go to the truth of Joseph Campbell, Scott Peck, Dr. Edith Fiore, and of course Carl Jung. Dare I mention my faith, Vedanta?

As I pore over the planets in Signs and New and Full Moons for this Astrological Insights Newsletter it comes to my attention that there is a rhythm to the Universe: Most Signs are in the Sun for 30 or 31 days but February has 28 days except Leap Year, when there are 29. The next Leap Year is February 29, 2024. Believe it or not, there is a lot of Science connected to Astrology.

Uranus will go direct in motion at 14 degrees of Taurus on August 20.

Jupiter continues retrograde in Pisces but goes into Aquarius on August 29.

Saturn continues retrograde in Aquarius and goes direct on October 11 at 6 degrees of Aquarius.

Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Scorpio continue retrograde until October.

The best investment that I have ever made…

“I met Albert in late 1991 when my life was a mess and I did not know what to do. I went for an astrology reading reluctantly and at the end of it agreed to do the Sedona Intensive. I was in Sedona January 5-12 of 1992 and did my daily exercises and then continued with the program for 3 months upon returning home. By following Albert’s directions, even when some of it made no logical sense, my life was changed dramatically for the better over the next year. He put me on a path that I never could have imagined and I will be forever grateful for that. This eventually led to my current profession, beginning in 2005, as a life coach assisting clients in making big changes in their lives. The time and money spent with Albert all those years ago is the best investment that I have ever made and gave me insights and tools that I still use today.”

Monthly Insights for the Signs

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 21 – April 20)–This is one of the six times a year you can not only shine but also make a few shekels from your innate gifts. With the Sun in Leo all month, you can feel as if Christmas has come early this year for all the payouts and surprise packages you’ll get. But don’t be greedy—share and make a few new friends along the way.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–There is a New Moon on August 8. You Lions and Lionesses need to pack your bags and go somewhere fun and not so hot. It is also a fabulous time to invest in something that will pay off steadily and not in a few days of ponying up the moola. This is your best time of the year so make the best of it without going too far out on a limb.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–Your planet ruler Jupiter is in Pisces for a few more months. The downside is that Jupiter is also retrograde for several more months.  Not so beneficial to you wanderers. Pisces is known for its drama and creativity and you Sags would go to a wedding in jeans. Now you get to change your spark plugs and oil before you strike out for new challenges.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)–With Uranus in Taurus for a few more months, you may continue to feel as if the deck has been stacked not in your favor. You are the least likely sign to throw caution to the wind but when you do, do not sulk, make the changes to put you back in a better place.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 21)–With Venus in Virgo for a few weeks you might be able to trust your instincts about changing jobs or even moving somewhere you have always dreamed about. But remember the old saw, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” This will be a great 30 days but you are not a loan shark. Keep the billfold closed.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–There is more old news for you Saturn-ruled Capricorns. Pluto continues retrograde in Capricorn for a lot longer than Caps would like. What we all learn—no matter the natal sign–from a retrograde planet is to make adjustments in what that planet indicates. Scorpio is the power sign of death and rebirth, as well as using one’s intuition in a right and just way. This month Capricorns will continue to change their inner world.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)–From July 29 to August 13 Mercury is in Leo compatible with you Gemini Jays of the Zodiac. Make the most of that time zone because then Mercury moves in Virgo which is the Witch Hazel of the Zodiac for you Messengers of Light and Truth. October and December will also be in alignment with you bastions of the stars trying to see both sides and make a better choice than most.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–You have enough in your corner of the Zodiac to have a super-duper 30 days. The Sun in Leo is a very strong ally for you. Maybe it’s time for the world to understand that you Libras are the Peace Makers and Fair-Minded of the whole Sky Map. You are always known to let the weakest and seldom heard come to the bargaining table. Stick to what you know and let the rest of the world go by.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–Uranus, the ruling planet of you Water Bearers, continues its wild ride in Taurus. Aquarius is all about spiritual changes and creating a world for all of us. Taurus is more selfish and self-centered and has a lot of issues around finances and personal relationships. Since Uranus is retrograde, Aquarius particularly is going to fix what’s broken in the world and one-by-one try to make the Lower World better for all of us.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)–The best we can ever do for you Moon dudes and duchesses is to give you the more compatible days for you in the Leo Cycle. July 30, August 1, 2; August 5, 6; August 10, 11; August 14, 15; but of course life is in session every day of the week. Make do but pick and choose from the dates that are more in your corner of the Zodiac.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)- You may feel like jumping in bed and covering your head because Leo and Scorpio have very different agendas. The long and winding road always favors you because it is only when we die to self and are reborn as who God created us to be are we ever happy and contented in our soul.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–Since your ruling planet Neptune is in retrograde for a while longer it is time to take who you are and what you know to make life better and more rewarding. Known to be the more creative and imaginative sign in the Zodiac it is time to put words on paper or a better game plan for your workplace.  With so many of the water planets hanging around this month, hit the start button.

How My Journey Began

“I have been receiving the Sedona Intensive Newsletter for many years. I was inspired by the astrological information. I never really delve into what programs were offered. I thought it was a spa in the painted desert where you could spend a week to relax and rejuvenate. I remember when I first subscribed to the newsletter, I had mentioned it to my husband and said maybe when we have some time, we could look into going there for a vacation. Little did I know what was in store for me on that Tuesday morning in December 2020 when I decided to dial the phone number listed on the newsletter to find out what the program was about and whether it would benefit me.

“Quite honestly, I was surprised when Mr. Albert Gaulden answered the phone! Surely this man has a receptionist, I thought to myself. But it was him. I, nervous – I almost hung up. Here I was talking to the man of Sedona! I was a bit intimidated at first, but after our first session, he truly put me at ease. I told him my recent story about the loss of my husband and the way I had soothed the pain of grief through alcohol. As we talked, I knew I needed to be part of this program. Albert is a straight forward, no bullshit kind of man. You either like what he has to say or you don’t. And if you don’t, he’ll tell you to go pound sand! But in a not so nice way. Albert is so passionate about the work he does and takes a true interest in each client. The homework is brutal but I have learned so much about myself and why I have experienced everything I’ve been through in my life and how it brought me to where I am today.

“One must have an open mind and be willing to hear the tough talk. There was tough talk. There was difficult self-reflection. But this program is not for sissies. You’re either going to commit – or you’re not. And if you don’t commit – this is not the program for you. It is an emotional experience with a great deal of self-reflection. This program didn’t just guide me through understanding my alcohol addiction, but it has been more beneficial in helping me deal with the overwhelming grief I have experienced over the last 2 years after the death of my husband. I am whole again.”

I Talked to the Cassandra of the Internet Age

New York Times opinion by Charlie Warzel

The internet rewired our brains. He predicted it would.

Michael Goldhaber is the internet prophet you’ve never heard of. Here’s a short list of things he saw coming: the complete dominance of the internet, increased shamelessness in politics, terrorists co-opting social media, the rise of reality television, personal websites, oversharing, personal essay, fandoms and online influencer culture — along with the near destruction of our ability to focus.

Most of this came to him in the mid-1980s, when Mr. Goldhaber, a former theoretical physicist, had a revelation. He was obsessed at the time with what he felt was an information glut — that there was simply more access to news, opinion and forms of entertainment than one could handle. His epiphany was this: One of the most finite resources in the world is human attention. To describe its scarcity, he latched onto what was then an obscure term, coined by a psychologist, Herbert A. Simon: “the attention economy.”

These days, the term is a catch-all for the internet and the broader landscape of information and entertainment. Advertising is part of the attention economy. So are journalism and politics and the streaming business and all the social media platforms. But for Mr. Goldhaber, the term was a bit less theoretical: Every single action we take — calling our grandparents, cleaning up the kitchen or, today, scrolling through our phones — is a transaction. We are taking what precious little attention we have and diverting it toward something. This is a zero-sum proposition, he realized. When you pay attention to one thing, you ignore something else…

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.”
