Astrology Newsletter: Pisces 2018

NEW BOOK by Albert Clayton Gaulden
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.

The Signs of the Time–Jupiter goes retrograde on March 9 at 23 degrees of Scorpio. It will not go direct in motion until July 11 at 13 degrees of Scorpio.

When Jupiter is retrograde you are cautioned not to be too over optimistic during this period. The best way to explain this phenomenon is not too get too jacked up before you see the result of what you are working for.

There will be a Full Moon on March 1 at 11 degrees of Virgo which is cautionary for Pisces and Virgo mainly. Full Moons are a bit trickier than New Moon and Pisces and Virgo should move cautiously in business affairs around that date.

There will be a New Moon on February 17 at 26 degrees of Pisces. This lunation blesses more powerfully Pisces and in a more minor way, other Water Signs, Cancer and Scorpio as well as Earth Signs, Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.

Through correspondence with readers there were a lot of questions about gender assignments to signs and the planet that rule them. Since I work with clients using the underpinning of Dr. Carl Jung who made the notion of synchronicity more understandable as well as his studies and work with the Shadow, I will give a simple explanation of masculine and feminine as well as the nature of one’s Shadow whose gender is the opposite of what one was born with.

It was Jung’s belief that within each man there was the nature of the feminine which he designated as his Shadow. As well as with a woman, she had within her the spirit of the masculine which was her Shadow. Jung’s contention was that you could not have a true deep and abiding relationship with a partner outside yourself until you integrated with your Shadow first.

Thus all Air Signs, Aquarius, Gemini and Libra, as well as Fire Signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius have been designated Masculine. Earth Signs, Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, as well as Water Signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces were Feminine Signs. The Cosmic Solution with these Gender Assignments would be to make an active and integrated relationship with your Shadow as a way to become a more whole and complete person.

Welcome to 2018 and old teachings about what your signs in planets are saying about you.

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 19 – April 18)–Sometimes you feel that you have awakened living on a Lost Continent and no one can see you or hear you. Never fear. That is your Higher Self giving you a preview of what you will be like if you don’t develop some care and concern for others. The Hierarchy of the Cosmos says that you are the most selfish and self-centered Sign of the Zodiac. Now, keep digging and uncovering until you discover your authentic self: bold and daring but with a road map for all of us, the worm will turn and you will be back in business.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–Here we are at the third month of the New Year and you Leos have already done more than a gaggle of geese, albeit not all positive or productive. This month is a reprieve for you Lions and Lionesses. The Queen of the Upper World has issued a Pardon for you and your tendency to look at all the folderol and foolishness and bathe in it like it were milk and honey. By the 10th of March your opportunities are tenfold and be cautious and judicious about where to go and what to do. Ask three people, “What can I do for you?”

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20)–The secret to success for you Messengers of Light is to let go of old ideas and concepts whose time has lapsed. You are on a new frequency and a new life purpose. There is a joke that won’t die that says “Sagittarians will go anywhere on a whim and then forget how to get home.” This Solar Cycle you will know exactly who you are and where you are and what you are supposed to be. You are the Sign most connected to the Creator so give yourself permission to let such spirituality shine through.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–No Sign is more apt to think the world has a mother lode of gold beneath her dirt and only you Taurus are greedy-needy enough to dig for it. May we remind you that the Stock Market looks like it will never go down, but it will and let’s hope you get off that gravy train before you lost more than you invested. Your koan for this month is to find worth in yourself and to play the game of life with everyone in mind. It’s not just about thin-skinned Bulls. Life is about all of us.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–Girdle up for all the work choices this month. The Full Moon on March 1 in Virgo is a signal to stop the stutter-stepping and make an impression in the work place. The Full Moon is but a Green Flag to change lanes and go for what you want out of life right now. The Full Moon in Pisces–your opposing Sign–is a blessing not a resistance. Did we ever tell you that your enemy teaches you more than your friend? Or that Pisces has a lot to share with you? We learn more from our opposing sign than we thought possible.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–The highest hill you will have to climb this Solar Cycle will be Venus in Aries which goes retrograde and will irritate you longer than ordinary. Then Mars in Aries until March 9 will add fuel to the fires of upset. When Mars goes into Taurus on March 9 you will see things lighten up a bit. The Full Moon on March 1 at 11 degrees of Virgo and the New Moon on March 12 at 22 degrees of Pisces will align nicely with you and your efforts particularly at work.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)–This is the month when you turn the reins over to the Twin that is most likely to act in your best interest. The problem with you Geminis is that you are so often changing faces that most of the time you don’t know who you really are and what you know to be true for you. With these lunations this month you are going to ease onto Easy Street or you will stay stuck in a life you don’t want or acting like someone other than who you have become. The First Step is Serenity and then Courage and finally Wisdom to know how to be who you were born to be. Welcome to Freedom.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21)–Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn are mere warning signs that it could be a bit rough up ahead. Also, your ruling planet, Venus, and Mercury will be in Aries from March 6 and 7, respectively–a major challenge. Thank God these two up-close planets move so fast they are not a major deterrent for too long. The saving grace for you Solomons this month is that never more than now do you need to make sure that your great relationship in your life is with you and your Shadow.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–Known as the odd duck of the Zodiac, you water Bearers are still recovering from the eclipses last Solar Cycle. What most people won’t admit because Supra Ego has filled his Pleasure Chest with so many goodies to keep us nailed to the Lower World is that the reason to come back from the Upper World is to make amends for past bad boy and naughty girl behavior. When this month has come and gone you will be starting out on a whole new adventure. Just remember that Lower World is always about starting over with a clean slate.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)–The Great High Holy One often crowed that a Cancer man or woman can survive to thrive no matter what lunation dips onto the Lower World. This month will be easier and softer for you moon-ruled sorts because the Full Moon is in Virgo (compatible) and the New Moon is in Pisces (super aligned). As they would say at NASA, “all systems are a go.” If I were a Crab what I would do with all these positive vibes from the Upper World is start or join a group’s purpose as the thunder of silence. To understand this position, read Joel S. Goldsmith’s “The Thunder of Silence.” Google Goldsmith and listen to his audio tape on the subject.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20)–Jupiter in Scorpio is such a boon and benefit right now. Expansion, self-assurance and a sense of purpose are so activated right now for you. But on March 9 Jupiter goes retrograde at 23 degrees of Scorpio and does not go direct until July 11 at 13 degrees of Scorpio. That four months gives you review time and an opportunity to make adjustments and retool what is not working. A blessing this month are the Full Moon in Virgo and the New Moon in Pisces. “Do what you do best”, listen to the still small Voice of Intuition.

PISCES (February 18 – March 18)–If you were wondering when the Fishes would grow a spine and not be everybody’s fallible and accessible being, welcome to your time and your year. The Full Moon on March 1 announces that you are back and better and not to be mistreated or denied. Of course, this was your imposter self impersonating a weak and wilting stink weed. And when the New Moon arrives on February 17 you will be ready for Prime Time. When you see the klieg light they are for you–stage center!

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”.

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.”
