One of our favorite friends, Debra Silverman acts out the primary characteristics of a Pisces. So if you’re a Pisces, or need to know how to navigate your relationship with a Pisces, this is a great crash course into the Pisces personality.

A recent exchange on Twitter made me realize how much confusion there is between the traits attributed to each sign of the zodiac and individuality.
While some pride themselves on their star sign (especially Leos, I’ve found), others find it a bit embarrassing (Scorpios, who tire of the leers their sexy reputation triggers). But most don’t really think about it until they’re told about their purported characteristics, when they quite rightly question a system that “informs” them of their character. We each regard ourselves as unique individuals, the result of the …

As usual, every December 31st, across North America, we move into a brand new year.

Screaming and shouting at midnight, setting our new prayers in motion, we dream up our
promises and resolutions too often to be forgotten by the morning.

It is as if the New Year arrives and then we unconsciously make a promise to forget what we said just the night before.

By nature we are forgetful creatures.

Humans have a funny quality that is self defeating and unpredictable. The planets on the other hand are consistent and stable. The earth, the …

To the Midpoint and Beyond…
So here we all are, on the eve of an annual life reevaluation with one year/decade ending and another beginning, AND on the eve of a MR in Capricorn.
To use this time wisely I would counsel a reorganization and reassessment of your priorities within the context of the Capricorn archetypal themes.
Ultimately this retrograde brings a deep surrender and review of our authentic ambition and responsibilities.
We are asked by Mercury to receive a new message from our soul regarding what motivates our goals in life. This will …

Power vs. Powerlessness
One of the greatest spiritual tasks we are continually asked to engage is the discernment of where we have power in life and where we don’t.
Said another way, when do we need to apply self-effort (Capricorn) vs. allowing grace to do its thing.
I’ve noticed that in my own life I’ve spent so much time trying to control things I simply cannot; such as whether someone will abandon me, whether people like me or not, how many copies my book sells, whether someone loves me or not, how folks …

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn
December 26th, 2009 – January 15th, 2009
This Mercury Retrograde (MR) officially begins on December 26th (right after Christmas, nice right??) and ends in the New Year on January 15th, 2010.
Yet as previously mentioned, the set up phase has been in motion since December 9th when Mercury entered into the degree of Capricorn it will retrogress back to. 
As Capricorn as an archetype has to do with our ambitions and goals in the world, the poignancy of this MR bridging us from the last year into the next is …

If you’re wondering who the good looking man in the picture is, it’s none other than my esteemed colleague and fellow Hay House author Robert Ohotto.
Robert has become internationally recogized as a “pioneering new voice within the field of multi-sensory development and human consciousness” (www.ohotto.com).
As a Christmas/Yule treat, over the next four days, I’ll be posting Robert’s Mercury Retrograde Guide so you can welcome in the New Year with astrological knowledge that can help you in all areas of your life.
Warmest wishes for your holiday season!
 
Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn – From …

America at Thanksgiving.
If you grew up with it, as I did, it’s reassuringly familiar part of the year’s rhythm, bridging the warmth of the Indian Summer to nippier temperatures with the accompanying intimations of winter’s chill.
Thanksgiving is, also, about gathering together with families, neighbours, friends – and friends of friends.
And it’s about abundance.
Americans have grown up with the story of the Pilgrims who’d travelled from an England that was increasingly intolerant towards their beliefs, their arrival and the advice they received from the Native American Indians, and their thankfulness for …

I don’t know anybody who’s made it through the past week unscathed by the potent clash between the precise planet of focus, Saturn, and Pluto, which symbolises both power struggles and the unconscious.
The difference is that those who’ve been keeping track of those two planetary powerhouses had some sense what they were facing.
But most were unprepared, so it seemed that suddenly life became about a series of perplexing – if not actually painful – obstacles and a lack of understanding or solutions for them.
Dealing with the situations triggered by this …

Over the past two days alone, I’ve received two emails about the year 2012.
One includes channelled information about the Mayan predictions in regard to this period.
These said the world is not about to come to an end.
But there are numerous books that interpret the writing of this Central American culture as stating very clearly that our days are numbered.
I also received a request from one of the newspapers for which I write asking me to comment on the rumours now circulating not as a result of these books, but because …
