Enjoy the Taurus Newsletter for 2020!

The Signs of the Time–Our comments today are more about self-help as well as staying put, safe from potential contamination as well as going inward where peace and serenity live. I also recommend YouTube lectures by Swami Sarvapriyananda from the New York Vedanta Society. One of his recent talks See God in Everything particularly inspired me. I have been sober more than 40 years and was initiated into the Vedanta Society more than 35 years ago by my guru, Swami Swahananda who made his transition a number of years ago. Friends of mine and I had a Christmas Eve dinner in New York this past year with Swami Sarvapriyananda and another Swami, who were both edifying as well as entertaining. Swami Sarvapriyananda has a dry wit that lifts his messages to inspiriting as well as entertaining realms.

Although we are still contending with Covid-19 all over the world, in May and June we should begin to see an abatement of this potentially deadly overlay. Unless we accept the spiritual fact that all of us created this toxic and lethal invasion we are doomed to repeat it. My close friend and ally Andrew reminded me that something like Covid-19 will come back to the planet in 10 years. If we do not contend with climate change and use and abuse of universal resources as well as getting rid of dictatorial leadership in governments globally, we shall create another deadly lesson.

I can’t say enough for the healing affects of keeping a daily journal as well as meditating often during the day. Meditation disconnects one from the maddening screams from newspapers and television and phone calls with shamers and blamers. Being able to hear God when He, She or It tries to reach us are healing waters that we hear in sermons and songs.

Remember always be kind and loving to yourself as well as to others. We are really at a critical turning point in Creation that each must make profound changes to be able to return to a well and altered world. Om. Tat. Sat. Om.

Monthly Insights for the Signs

Fire Signs

ARIES (March 20 – April 18)–This epidemic hit you Rams a lot harder than most. With your innate ability to go where angels fear to tread, this toxic overlay was more than anyone could handle, even you Aries. But in a few months there will be a new Awareness full of love and caring about all of us, not just the ones who have lived by the false gods of money, property and prestige. The rebuilding will take courage and a deep connection to a God of all of our understanding. Get ready for the Rebuild and Replenishment battle cry when you hear it.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–No Sign was born with more creativity and fun-loving nature as well as with an overload of ego and potential narcissism. Sitting home alone has never been your long and strong suit. “Take me anywhere” has always been your beckon call. However, you are also the sort who thrives on challenges. Let me give you one: “Change you to change the world you touch.” It is show time this 31-days. Put your best foot forward.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Before you start your engine this Solar Cycle, shut your mouth and turn off your phone. You are the Sign of the Astral Plains to bring forth the highest enlightenment. You cannot do it by roaming the hills with no GPS or looking high and low for the next thrill or distraction. No sign has the courage or endurance that you Archers have. Always channel your Higher Self.

Earth Signs

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–Your lesson plan this month includes detaching from the obsession from money, property and prestige and abject materialism. You must also learn to be one of many and not the silent partner for everyone around you. Smell and touch and be a part of natural creation everywhere. Soften your heart so that you can be a part of the collective whole.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–Rather than rattle the abacus or hammer out numbers on your adding machine you might try stilling your butterflies-and-bees-brain through prayer and meditation. You have always been known to thrill others with organization and thought-out ration and reason. May is not the time to prove how smart you are, but let your compassion shine through.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)–In case you didn’t get the Memo, Capricorn was the sign that signaled this overdue calamity called Corona Virus. No sign of the Zodiac holds the Universe more accountable than you Goats. There were five planets in Capricorn when this toxic overlay was unleashed on the World. Do not blame you or your Sign. This phenomenon is being called payday someday–and its day came on your watch.  And, this, too, will pass, hopefully with all of us being more conscious and caring.

Air Signs

GEMINI (May 20 – June 20)–For you Twins this 31-Day benchmark on the global map we offer the notion that both of you (twins, remember) putting your two heads together and come up with how you feel, say and advise for yourself and others. The tendency for you Geminis is trying to please everybody who invades your space. Think and speak with your own clarity.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 22)–When you wake up after reading your Libra words of wisdom don’t weigh and balance (your usual forte) ideas and opinions for the solid answer to people and problems. Our Brave New World is all about cleaning up the mess we all made through millennia with kindness and love and cooperation with all peoples, regardless of color, gender, status, education–the haves and have nots. Get out of your head and into your heart.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)–If anyone has been able to keep their distance from the madding crowd lately it is you Water Bearers. Although the COVID-19 has been overwhelming and destructive to thousands of people you Aquarians have been ready, willing and able to rebuild and retool when the toxic overlay lifts. Everything on earth has a time clock and Corona Virus certainly does. Put your intuitive cap on and write us an anthem for reconstruction.

Water Signs

CANCER (June 21 – July 21)–It is a great attribute to have the high level of intuition that you Mamas and Papas were born with, except the control factor that goes with it gets you into a world of trouble. At this critical destruction of the devil Covid-19 you might sit back in your rocker and realize that, since all of us created it, all of us must remove it from within ourselves.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–I love a line from the Big Book of Twelve Step Recovery, “…wife or no wife, (husband or no husband), job or no job, trust God and clean house.” In the tiny corner of your world you are going to be thrilled beyond reason at the impact you are going to have on your fellow men and women. You Scorpions have been designated as the Clean-Up-Crew.  So, pick up the broom and mop. Blessed Sign…you are!

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–With your ruling planet Neptune in the sign of Pisces you Fishes should be able to persevere and survive to thrive. Make sure you are staying away from anything alcoholic or addictive and stay with a healthy game plan prescribed by a physician. Tap into your magic and make-believe to recreate a world worth living in. In a few months we survivors will have a lot of new consciousness with which to harmonize our brave new world.

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.”
