According to many astrologers, planets which were retrograde at the time of our birth indicate karmic lessons we’ve brought into this life.  Some say they’re an indication of latent genius in areas pertaining to the planet and sign in which the retrograde occurs, and which manifests later in life; still others, that those with retrograde planets are here to increase consciousness and create change on a global scale.  Others claim that those with retrograde planets in their natal charts are seldom seen as they actually are. In other words, their full and true potential is hidden, and that there is often much more to an individual with planets in retrograde than can be readily seen.  Because they are karmic in nature, this is an indication of a past life influence.  When a planet is retrograde in your natal chart, you will have some challenges in that area until the planet goes direct in your progressed chart.

I’ve been in business and on the planet long enough to know not to burn bridges.  The same people you are snarky to and unfair with in your youth will come back in positions to help you decades down the road, and they’ll end up halfway around the world to do it, if that’s what it takes.   So you save yourself a lot of personality conflict karma by giving that stuff up early on.  When I use the word karma, I mean karma as in cause and effect.  You do this, it sets that in motion.  It’s like a fanbelt, a boomerang, it’s a cycle going around and around, you know it’s coming back again.  You don’t know in what form it will return, but if you’re smart, you stay tuned for clues so you can nip it in the bud.

Saturday is Saturn’s day – a day to direct our attention toward routine chores and personal responsibilities, a good day for furthering our ambitions through perseverance, patience, responsible action, and a sense of purpose.  Ask yourself some questions: How are you doing? Are you consciously heading in the direction you want to be going? Saturday is a good day for rest and relaxation, forming goals, and for giving and receiving recognition.  It’s a day to formulate new beginnings, new projects and ideas.  What’s next for you?

Friday is Venus’s Day: A day for lovers and pleasure, affairs of the heart, sharing, peace, beauty, gentleness, healing, protection. Venus is all about appreciation and gratitude.  Venus feels the love!  Take advantage of Venus on Friday by taking time out to:

* redecorate, hang artwork of flowers and lovers on the walls
* indulge in a favorite fragrance, quality chocolate, beautiful, sensual music
* consciously choose acts of compromise, put others first today
* make choices based on bringing people together
* get a massage
* take time to touch and experience what you feel under your hands

Experience the joy of life and seek to be with those you enjoy.
What time does your weekend start?

I think Mercury Retrograde  gets a bad rap.  Since Mercury rules communication, people love to say “oh everything’s going wrong, that’s Mercury retrograde for you,” and that’s not the case at all.  Mercury Retrograde just means review, reconsider, return for more info. Pay extra attention to detail.  Check everything twice.  Slow down during this time, to be as effective as you can be. Continue reading →

At Confession Prompted by Lies, Prisoner Fights for Freedom, Joel Alcox had been drinking heavily, had stayed up all night and had taken LSD when police arrested him in 1986 for the murder of a motel owner.  At first, Alcox insisted that he knew nothing about the murder, but over the course of six hours, his two police interrogators told him his fingerprints were found at the scene and that witnesses saw him there. Neither was true, but Alcox became convinced during interrogation that his own recollection was faulty and he accepted the facts presented to him by the police — even though some of that information was false. Finally, he broke down and he falsely confessed to the crime, under extreme duress. He has spent the past 23 years in prison for first-degree murder.  His attorney argues that Alcox was betrayed by a legal system in which police were allowed to lie to extract his confession. I was a criminal defense paralegal for 22 years.  I’ve seen it all. Continue reading →

WEDNESDAY IS MERCURY’S DAY. After Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF. Wednesday is the best day of the week for throat chakra work: communication and making connections, returning phone calls, holding meetings, saying what needs to be said. On hump day, we analyze our efforts so far during the week, and we pay attention to details. It’s a good day to refine plans and map out strategy, to bring intent into our conscious awareness. Wednesday is a day to collect information, learn the basics, handle several things at once, maintain mental control over your environment. Today Mercury helps you stay organized and detail oriented, no matter what is going on around you.

Tuesday is for the busy bees

Tuesday is Mars’ day, a day to take action to achieve goals. Mars is the planet of action and the expression of will through activity.  Mars represents strength, determination and achievement. People born on this day show the qualities of Mars, Aries, Scorpio, and Pluto. This ties Tuesday with ideas of strife, battles to be won, pressing issues and jobs to be done.  Tuesday is a good day to settle long-standing issues with authority figures. It’s a good day to pay attention to your physical body: working out, getting bodywork done, taking a long walk, dancing in your nightgown under the moon.  Statistics show that more work gets done on Tuesday than any other day of the week.  Buckle down and crank out the donuts, because after Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.
