February 2016

It’s not about what the stars are doing to you, but what you are doing to the stars. Think about it. The planetary positions at your birth hail and herald exactly who you are, along with which forms of karma you bring with you into this life, in accordance with the positive and negative qualities you created in previous incarnations. Following this line of thinking, we are creating our future horoscope by our thoughts and actions in this lifetime. Our bad actions create chains of iron, while our good thoughts and deeds create chains of gold. Point being that whatever we do here in our Earthly sojourn creates chains and, as we know, chains are meant to bind and hold us in slavery to our minds and senses.

According to the Sat Guru, we left our true home – high above the starry firmament in Sach Khand – approximately four billion years ago. Imagine that! We have been away from our true abode and have taken form as rock, tree, insect, bird, animal and human as we work our way through the cosmic phenomena called Awagawan, the coming and going of the soul in its myriad forms, in accordance to karmic law. We constantly and continuously spin the web of destiny by our actions as we reap what we have sown in the past and prepare our future with what we are sowing now. Although seemingly nearly overwhelmingly frightful, it is a plan the creator put together to teach the souls about love – and only love. The saints teach us that God is love and love is God and that the way back to God is through love. It’s all too true.

Wearing the astrologer’s hat for over four decades has taught me that no one is happy. When the soul becomes tired and weary and has had enough and cries out to the Lord for help is when things truly begin to change. That is when the Lord sends his emissaries to scoop up the souls that have cried out for relief and want to journey back home to the true abode of permanent love, light and bliss. We came from the regions of bliss and we must return there one day or another. That bliss and consciousness is in all life forms – in the birds and animals to lesser degrees; nonetheless, they seek the same love and bliss. It’s the reason we should love all creatures and treat them all with the greatest respect for they are our brothers and sisters in light and life. Only love will do.

Aries Let the wild flower grow in the dark and when it’s ready it can show its beauty to the world. You’re the wild flower now and it’s time for you to create as never before. Be who you are and stay original and the answers will come of their own accord. Career potential is great.

Taurus Travel and career interests dominate the scene. Intense times are indicated. Don’t lead with your horns and allow others to have their say. Deep spiritual questions come up and it’s high time to contemplate and consider what is real and of true value. Dollars and trinkets won’t do. Dig deep and get to the truth.

Gemini Gemini is known as the sign of youth and many Geminis retain their youthful appearance into their later years. Regardless of your chronological age, you may feel old and a tad weary these days. Not to worry, as this too shall pass. It’s time to seek and discover. Journeys are probable and spiritual enlightenment possible.

Cancer Crabs love to dig and now the time has come for you to dig deep in your quest for discovery, truth and true understanding of the nature of things. People come and people go and you may say goodbye to someone now. Lasting legacies are made and cherished for many years to come.

Leo As the Sun moves through Aquarius, it heralds your solar low of the year. It may be wise to lay low and make yourself a small target. Bluff and bluster won’t really wash right now and you would get called on your game. Compassion, patience and honesty comprise the recipe for smooth sailing. Re-invent yourself now.

Virgo Luck and fate factors are huge for Virgo right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if a Virgo wins the power ball lottery or some other huge windfall. Of course, the greatest windfall of all is spiritual enlightenment. It’s the only treasure you can take with you when you transcend your body. Make the right call.

Libra Home, family, land and real estate are the big features right now, as are love and creativity. It’s also a time of research and discovery along with discipline and hard work. You may not mind and you may thrive on it all. Someone completely different shakes you up and changes your world.

Scorpio Lord Mars visits throughout the month providing courage and energy. No one will ever doubt your relentless effort and determination and now’s the time to truly put it in gear and move towards your goals. Keep in mind a soft reply turns away wrath. Make this your mantra, as things may get testy and tense.

Sagittarius A corralled horse champs at the bit longing for the freedom of the open plains. You may feel like that horse these days. Anxiety and little energy are the general complaints when Saturn is around. Saturn’s presence, although not comforting, brings very important lessons and etches wisdom and patience into our soul. Suck it up.

Capricorn Pluto’s presence brings on a time of great transition and regeneration. To some, he bestows wealth and power; others he takes to a higher plane. It is a time of birthing and dying. Not so much physical dying, but the dying off of what is old and no longer useful.

Aquarius Saturn and Uranus, co-rulers of Aquarius, are casting good energy your way, providing wisdom and creativity. Now all you have to do is use it. Fixed signs like Aquarius find it difficult to make changes when necessary. Point, counter point scenarios are bound to happen now. Keep your sword sharp and leave it in its scabbard.

Pisces Dreamy dreamers, drug dealers, con hustlers, spiritual warriors, renunciates, artists, illusionists, magicians, musicians, spinmeisters and actors can reap the best benefits of Neptune’s passage through Pisces until the beginning of 2026. You can swim in the illusions and attractions that this world offers or opt to go much higher into the realms of true spirituality.

January 2016

It might be worth our while to take a deep look at the intrinsic meanings of Capricorn and its ruling planet Saturn. Deeply embedded religious beliefs and laws come under the heading of Saturn/Capricorn. Chronos (Father Time) carried a scythe and was known as the grim reaper, associated with death, poverty, pestilence and disease. Saturn seeks to correct, cleanse and purify. He rules magistrates and lawyers, along with fathers, husbands, bosses and others that seek to lead and rule. Saturn/Capricorn represents the structures we expect to remain the same, unchanged throughout time. Sounds like sour grapes and castor oil mixed into one.

The above commentary is a pretty general description of this dreary planetary energy. No wonder people from the east and west fear Saturn and dread the news of his arrival. He is a wet blanket and can certainly put a damper on our good spirits. No doubt, he has been behind the pain and suffering of every religious or political crusade that has ever manifested on our planet throughout all time. Pray my way or die. Comply, surrender, straighten out and fly right is the message of this heavy-handed, hooded messenger.

Probably got you depressed by now, but lets take another approach to what is behind this seemingly very harsh planetary deity. Saturn is very connected to nature, purity and wholesomeness. What Saturn has always tried to teach us is to live a life of purity and simplicity. The closer to nature we live, the healthier and happier we become. Likened to a loving father, he wants only the best for his children and will go to extreme means to keep them clean and safe. This Capricorn energy is on board and we will be imbibing of this energy for many years to come. Pluto visits Capricorn until November 2024 and this energy alone signals great changes on the planet. Saturn/Capricorn resists changes while Pluto is the planet of inevitable regeneration and transformation. By the spring of 2020, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn and it might very well spell out a time in which we experience the greatest changes and challenges to our way of life. Uranus will be in Taurus at that time, another harbinger that nothing will remain the same and all is due to change. Mainly, we must do our part and tote our grain of sand to the common pile. “What to do?” you might ask? Simplify, purify, stay close to nature and give love to one and all.

Aries You are very good at promoting, instigating and pioneering ways to move into the future. You accomplish these objectives by staying true to yourself and striving to simplify and disentangle the complicated knots we have tied ourselves with. The next several years will bring myriad opportunities for you create something totally original and exciting.

Taurus The initial spark of genius that Aries ignites, Taurus sustains and solidifies. In the summer of 2018, Uranus will visit Taurus until 2026. These are the years of your greatest changes and challenges. Your genius may be showing in those years and it may be a highly prolific, creative, artistic and innovative time. Start now.

Gemini Death and taxes: two topics that most of us would rather skip over, ignore or hope would go away. But no way – they’re on board and must be dealt with. The present planetary positions are indicating a time in which you might be looking at all kinds of deep topics, including mysticism and spirituality.

Cancer A great transformative energy is taking place. Life may be full of complexities, some hidden and some not. Power plays and powerful days unfold in which you get to see who is loyal or not. Births and deaths, wills and legacies, deep loves and profound memories are made. Be clean and let your works be seen.

Leo Sparks could fly in the first week of January. It won’t take much for you or others to lose their cool and it may be wise to follow the axiom, “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” Negotiations regarding business, romance and children come up throughout the month. Travel to exotic locations may be considered as well.

Virgo It’s time to rethink the plan and do what Virgo does best, which is to analyze any particular thing down to its very core. While you’re doing all this super brain work, keep in mind it’s also time to consider just where you’re at on the level of spirituality and your relationship to the creator.

Libra January is a highly creative month for Libra. Not so much in the sense of output and production, but in how you shape your world. It might be time to weigh up your relationships and see which ones are worthy and worth continuing. It’s time to go deep within the sanctum of your soul.

Scorpio Lord Mars visits your sign until early March providing much needed energy, strength and confidence. You may feel as though you have had the stuffing kicked out of you over the last few years, but now you’re on the mend and back to your old self again. Set your gaze on the target and move forward.

Sagittarius Now’s the time for some deep introspection regarding matters of the heart. Sagittarius holds the highest ideals and when they’re not met it can cause a bit of depression. On the other hand, when you have your priorities right you can fly high like no other. Love and career considerations are the dominant topics.

Capricorn Certain aspects of life are being revealed. Things you may never have considered are coming up and must be handled. Not half way, but all the way. As my beloved guru has taught us, “Don’t waste the capital you have been given.” Money, name and fame won’t do it, but devotion to higher consciousness will.

Aquarius The full Moon on January 23 and a few days either side of this date will help illuminate what must be done in order for you to feel you have yourself together, balanced and copacetic. Much is happening behind the scenes and soon enough what was hidden will come to light. Give love and forgiveness.

Pisces When the cup is full, it cannot receive. Yes, you may have it all and feel empty at the same time. The problem stems from not taking care of your spiritual life. A muscle not used will atrophy and so it is with our soul currents. They need daily exercise, care, devotion, meditation and love.

December 2015

The winter solstice takes place on December 21 at 8:49 PM (PST). For people today, the solstice probably has a lot less significance than for people born in ancient times. A couple of weeks after the solstice, it becomes very apparent the days are lengthening, bringing hope and anticipation of the Sun once again bringing its warmth and new life. I imagine the winter solstice was the original celebration and that it eventually morphed into the Christmas of modern times: Christ Mass, the celebration of light and new life.

If you were to take a look at ancient societies, you’d find they put great emphasis on the solstice and equinox times, as they heralded the beginning of the seasons. Speaking of light and celebrations, this Christmas Day is also a full Moon day, with the Moon being in the sign of Cancer. The Moon rules Cancer and this combination of the Moon being in its own sign is perfect for family gatherings in which we share our love and generosity with our family members. It is also a time of giving our love and care to those in our extended family, including the folks in our community that may be experiencing less fortunate times and to all of God’s children and the creatures that share life on our precious planet.

Mercury, the planet of communications, is in perfect Triangle with Jupiter, the planet of generosity, philosophy and spirituality. It means we have an opportunity to be expansive and generous for, as we know, the gift is within the act of giving, not in receiving. One day, we will be wise enough to perceive that God’s love and light is manifest in all living creatures and thusly they are deserving of our greatest love and respect. There is gold in everyone and every one is golden. All life is precious. In the Golden Age, the souls lived in peace and practised non-violence in thought, word and deed. The last several days of December carry a certain tension to them; we know the holidays can often be filled with tension and for some there can be despair especially when we add alcohol and white powder drugs into the mix. The only way we can cure violence in our society is to strive to live non-violently and to give more and more love. Love is the only commodity that increases when we give it out.

Aries Let up on the gas pedal, especially in the first half of December as there are a few hairy planetary aspects going on that can spell disaster in a heartbeat. December 5, 10, 19 and 20 are tricky days in which anything can happen and probably will. Measure twice, cut once; otherwise, good times are indicated.

Taurus The winter solstice on December 21 carries some big magic for Taurus. A series of fine planetary aspects takes place bringing serendipitous events and happy times. Christmas Day looks good. It’s time to bring your loved ones together and celebrate and to give thanks for everything. Interesting news arrives on December 7, regarding family or finances.

Gemini You may feel a little lead-footed as you head into December. Gemini relates to the blue sky and rainbows and would rather skip over the tedious and boring details that life offers up at times. It is time to nurture yourself, to go slow and let the gnarly knots work themselves out – and they will.

Cancer Christmas Day is highlighted by a full Moon in your sign. As we know, the full Moon brings the high tides and this full Moon may bring a heightened time into your life. It is time to celebrate and give thanks for all we have been given. Take some time to take care of yourself.

Leo You get a cosmic pass in which you can wield your way throughout most of December. It is a good time to sort things out and to plan for the future. Set up a health regime and follow it. If you have any organizing to do, the time is right to set things right.

Virgo Lord Mercury and expansive Jupiter create a very nice triangular pattern on Christmas Day. You cannot ask for a better set of astrological circumstances. Mercury is about communications, agreements and negotiations while Jupiter rules trust and timing. Others are impressed with your warmth, love and generosity. Overall, it is a time of abundance and gratitude.

Libra Energy is heightened on December 5 and 6 as the Moon, Mars and Pluto mix things up. You can mess things up if you’re not careful with your reactions to highly charged situations or you can clear things up by using your Venusian wit, charm and wisdom. The Libra Moon highlights New Year’s Eve.

Scorpio Venus smoothes the way through most of December. She brings, warmth, light and love – or, at least, the opportunity for you to assess what it is you really need in order to bring harmony and accord into your life. December 7 and 8 are special days as the Moon moves through your sign.

Sagittarius A shift takes place on December 10 and 11. Stay open and willing to roll with the changes, whatever they may be. It might just be the end of a situation you have endured for some time. It might also be the start of something new and exciting. Sometimes, letting go is difficult, but necessary.

Capricorn The Sun’s entrance into Capricorn on December 21 heralds your solar high of the year. A great transformative energy is on board and you must make the best of it. Jupiter and Pluto are casting great energy into your sign bestowing wealth and leadership. Figure out what you want to do and go for it.

Aquarius Lord Saturn steadies the ship as he casts a fine aspect into your sign. You can set up a plan and work with it. The Sun moves through Capricorn starting December 21 and allows for some behind-the-scenes work to be accomplished. The full Moon on Christmas day will help illuminate your pathway.

Pisces Pisces is one of the most magical signs of the zodiac and you may have a sense that magical things are happening. It is a time of spiritual transformation and re-evaluation. Lord Jupiter and co-ruler Neptune are activated strongly indicating that timing and destiny are playing their parts and now you must play yours.

November 2015

Astrologers are a bit phobic regarding the defense of their chosen profession and they take strident measures to prove the validity of their sacred science. We just can’t get any respect, especially from the scientific and business communities. I encountered a prominent scientist a few years ago at a garden party and when I told him I was an astrologer, he blinked so rapidly I thought he was going to pass out. I’m sure he thought I was pulling his leg with the outrageous prospect of actually being an astrologer. It was similar to the reaction one would get if they said they had spotted a Sasquatch.

So here I sit on Thanksgiving Day (October 12) pondering what to write about for November. I have taken a very long look at Stephen Harper’s horoscope and the charts for Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair. Trudeau is the only one with a valid birth time while Harper shows an exact midnight birth, which is dubious at best. It would be rare to be born right at the top of the hour and a few minutes of time can mean so very much in the accuracy of predicting events. Mulcair’s birth time is not known and getting that information from a Scorpio is like trying to milk a dead cow. By now, the results are in and the world knows who is at the helm of Canada’s top spot. Philosophically, I would like to see Trudeau run the show and shake things up. Interestingly, his chart shows a demarcation in how he runs his life. He is experiencing the Uranus opposition that occurs around 42 to 43 years of age. It indicates a time of revolution and dynamic change. Uranus happens to be passing over his Moon, which is another indicator that his life is in the midst of profound changes. Of course, if he is the new Prime Minister, his life will change dynamically and dramatically and his chart is indicating just that. Offering any type of prediction for Harper and Mulcair would be guessing at best.

On a completely different topic, Venus and Mars spend most of November moving though Libra. This is a great planetary combination for justice, balance, relationships, marriages, romance, love and all forms of creativity. Saturn and Neptune are 90 degrees apart, constituting a square aspect that will extend throughout most of 2016. It indicates a time of probable confusion and distortion – did I mention confusion? It may take us a while to get ourselves together and find our direction as a nation as we ponder our choice of bombs or extended arms.

Aries Venus and Mars cast their glance from across the sky bringing excitement, challenge, change and romance. Wow, sounds like big fun! If you’re already settled in, married or partnered up, this lively combination can spice things up. Aries’ biggest danger is always boredom and restlessness and those two things are not on the cosmic menu.

Taurus It’s time for a little soul searching. My bet is there’s a whole lot of things to be soul searching about. Matters like shared monies, death and taxes, inheritances, health, work and career are just some of the topics that need your keen attention. Then again, it just might be time to let down a bit.

Gemini The full Moon on November 25 will illuminate your inner horizon in order for you to see what is what and what must be done in order to set the ship on a steady course. Resources may be a bit tight and other problematic areas need attention. Not tension, but redirection, and planning and balance are called for.

Cancer The first half of the month runs a little smoother than the second half. Mercury and the Sun cast triangular energies your way providing inspiration. The crab spends a lot of time in the surf dealing with the ever-changing tides. Ride the waves and continue to adapt and adjust to what comes your way.

Leo The skies brighten in late November after a dreary start to the month. You may ponder a major relocation or spiritual direction. Relate, communicate and negotiate are the keys to finding your way into the future. Going over the past regarding family – and especially children – may take up some of your time and energy.

Virgo The skies brighten in late November after a dreary start to the month. You may ponder a major relocation or spiritual direction. Relate, communicate and negotiate are the keys to finding your way into the future. Going over the past regarding family – and especially children – may take up some of your time and energy.

Libra Venus and Mars liven up the place as they move through your sign most of the month. Romantic and creative energies are high and it is time for you to do your thing. It may not be all roses and lollipops and there might even be a few bruises – and you may not mind.

Scorpio The new Moon on November 11 heralds a new start in a new direction. You may be honing your skills and regathering your confidence as you shake off Saturn’s heavy lessons of the last few years. Time heals everything and it just gets better as we move towards year’s end. Your star is shining again.

Sagittarius The full Moon on November 25 is important and significant. It will help you get in touch with many factors of your life. The areas that need the most work will be illuminated strongly, such as career objectives or limitations. It’s not a Sagittarius thing, but you may have to learn to economize, strategize and compromise.

Capricorn Pluto’s presence may be felt rather strongly. He has a profound effect when he moves through your sign. Pluto will be in Capricorn until 2024. He bestows great power and wealth, but he can bring our ruination if we abuse his powers. Humility and compassion are the right ingredients, while dominance and control ruin everything.

Aquarius Your career sector gets a boost as the Scorpio new Moon on November 11 unfolds its power across the top of your solar chart. Venus and Mars lend a hand as well as they cast positive triangular energy into your sign most of the month. Saturn also helps in stabilizing the ship.

Pisces It might be time for a career change or there may be honours coming your way for work well done. I guess honours can give a boost to your career anyway. Lord Jupiter casts very supportive energy as well, practically ensuring a breakthrough or some sort of fortuitous timing of events. Move forward with confidence.

October 2015

Let’s take a look at the stars of the three wise men – oops, I mean the three politicians competing for Canada’s top spot. The three wise men were astrologer/astronomer kings that knew the star of Bethlehem was a portent of the birth of a great spiritual master. Now, our three wise men seek to become king and hopefully lead and guide us along a thorny and complicated pathway for the next four years.

Let’s start with the prime minister, Stephen Harper, born on April 30, 1959. He’s a Taurus, slow and steady, unchangeable, habitual and very much in control. Some say he’s a control freak and has everything locked down and under his thumb. Nothing moves without his nod and approval. Sounds very much like a Taurus to me. Good with numbers and knows the value of anything and everything. Like the Bull that rules Taurus, he can be pleasant and easygoing until riled, prodded or opposed. We have heard about the people that have gone against Harper only to meet their demise. Mr. Harper has the Moon in Aquarius and an Aquarius rising as well. It means he can be humanitarian and caring on the positive side, however, on the negative side, Aquarius gone wrong can evoke the harshest dictators, devoid of any care for what others may think or feel. “My way or the highway” is the hidden mantra for dear, old Taurus.

Thomas Mulcair was born on the first day of Scorpio on October 24, 1954, with the Sun conjunct with Saturn at birth. This indicates his rough and tough childhood that has no doubt shaped and instilled some very powerful values of responsibility and accountability into his soul. Like Taurus, Scorpio is a fixed sign and does not change readily or easily. Although Scorpio has true grit, great resilience and determination, they are not all that forthcoming with what is truly going on. We may be kept in the dark, as we cannot expect secretive Scorpio to spill the beans too much about what is going on. Mulcair has Mercury conjunct Saturn, another harbinger of one who may be a deep thinker and great planner, although not gushing over with a lot of information for his subjects. He has a Libra Moon, which is really great for fairness, smarts, justice and balance. Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct at his birth, a great marker of someone who may very well be willing to truly make profound changes on a humanitarian level. Many of the great revolutions in history had Jupiter and Uranus conjunctions in play.

Justin Trudeau has the Sun in Capricorn and although young in years, he may very well have a deep wisdom, something that Capricorn is known for. They are born rulers and come under the rulership of Saturn, which confers great responsibility and accountability. They take their job very seriously. Trudeau has Jupiter in Sagittarius, which bestows great vision and sometimes prophecy. He may very well see the future. His Aries Moon opposes Uranus in his birth chart indicating a willingness to go along with the will of the people. He will not be afraid to make changes when they are truly needed. Lord Saturn sits high in his chart and is another indicator he could rule for a long time. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry carry the same signatures in their birth horoscopes.

If we re-elect Harper, we know what we’re in for, which is more of the same – same old same old. If we elect Mulcair, he may lead with a steady hand and an old-school style in which papa knows best. If Trudeau is at the helm, we may see some truly progressive changes and possibly a wild ride for a while. What do you want, Canada? Slow and steady, no changes Harper? Slow and steady with some changes and a firm hand at the helm Mulcair? Big changes and somewhat maverick and very progressive Trudeau? See you at the polls.

Aries The probability of changes is fairly strong around Thanksgiving Day. It’s decision time and the events that come to pass may help you make some moves and changes in your life that are overdue.

Taurus It’s that time of the year again when those late October blues set in. This year may be a bit different, though, especially at the time of the full Moon on October 27. Expect revelations to come.

Gemini Take the first two weeks of the month to figure out what you’re going to do. No doubt, the answers will come and you will figure it out, but only after some deep soul searching.

Cancer Circle October 4, 5 and 19 on your calendar as special days in which high energy takes place. You’re in the midst of making long-range plans and changes. Everything’s up in the air now.

Leo Although intrepid and rarely hesitant, it is not always easy for Leo types to make overall changes. Now, the stars are in good position for you to do so. Time with friends and associates and sweethearts figures into the play.

Virgo It really is your time to shine. Don’t spend too much time trying to figure it out. Just go for it and see what the stars decree. Timing and opportunity, along with bravery, bring rewards.

Libra You’re in your solar high of the year. It brings energy, hope and enthusiasm. It’s also time to rethink the plan or make a plan and follow through with it. Correct whatever needs correcting now.

Scorpio Your solar high begins on October 24. You can come out of your dark cave now, open up and begin to socialize again. New scenarios are developing along with new circles of friends and connections.

Sagittarius Some of you will be chafing at the bit and casting about for some changes. Career objectives figure prominently and off you go on another journey of discovery. It’s time to eliminate what is not worthy.

Capricorn October 19 and 20 are the best days this month for you to see your way and to make way for the future. It’s a time of churning and changing, cleansing and clearing.

Aquarius Travel plans may be in the wind and you may be pining for matters of the higher mind. Visits from afar may take place and it may be time for you to research, learn and study.

Pisces Relationships figure prominently now. Personal, professional, marital and social relations are highlighted. You may feel emboldened, ready to reach out and truly make some changes in your life. Ego clashes may occur as well.

September 2015

A true phenomenon is upon us. The Golden Age has begun! It dawned on me the other day that something very unique has taken place. In the thirteenth century, Kabir and Guru Nanak came along – both proponents of Sant Mat or the Path of the Masters. It is not known how many they initiated or how many souls were connected to the godly way within the succession of gurus since that time. But we do know things began to change in the 20th century, especially when Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj came along and initiated 100,000 souls into the mysteries of the beyond. His successor Param Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj initiated 89,000 souls, Sant Darshan Singh Ji Mahraj initiated 86,000 and the present day living Master Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj has initiated 740,000 souls so far. That is close to one million initiates these Godmen have put on the way.

These one million souls are not Masters, but they could potentially become Masters in the future. As my beloved brother Arran Stephens says, “In order to become a Master, one has to become a perfect disciple first.” Imagine one million people living in a godly, loving way, loving one another and revering all of life. Like a sweet perfume, it radiates outward and affects everyone.

It has been said that, at the beginning of a new age, there is calamity and upset throughout the land. Well, we certainly have that. What we need is a change of heart among all nations and all people. We need a spirit of cooperation and compassion rather than a sense of dread and paranoia. In the Sant Mat literature, there is a term called Sadachar. It translates as living in a godly way in thought, word and deed. Feel the love, become part of it and contribute however you can each day and bye the bye, things will change for the better. Love is the only commodity that increases when given out; all other forms of giving lead to depletion. All those initiated souls I mentioned have the potential to come back to Earth and each one of them may very well help humanity in finding its goal of living in the Golden Age. It starts with you, right now. Star Wise, we have Neptune moving through Pisces, while lord of Pisces, Jupiter, casts his glance from across the zodiac into Pisces bringing great opportunities for enlightenment and advancement. Lay down your fear and your sword and give some love.

Aries You are the first born of the zodiac and while the Sun moves through Virgo, you have the opportunity to serve and help humanity however you can. Aries is the initial spark that ignites the fire and illuminates the pathway ahead. It truly is a pioneering time in which you can blaze a new pathway.

Taurus Home, family and real estate are major features now. Creative energy is high. Romance is in the picture too. The aforementioned topics are earthly considerations; it’s time to nurture your spirit. Earthly possessions cannot accompany you into the beyond. You will have to leave them behind someday. What does accompany you is spiritual devotion.

Gemini While lord Mercury moves through Libra all month, you can expect a plethora of ideas to flood your consciousness. Creativity reaches a peak and the name of the game is to not get too lost in the whirlwind of ideas and possibilities. You may be in the mood to make some very big changes.

Cancer A word we don’t usually associate with Cancer is intrepid, which means fearless. I’ve known many Cancer types that have displayed this intrepid quality. Be brave and make some moves towards your goals and objectives. Creative/artist energy is very high now. Ask and you shall be given; seek and you shall find.

Leo Venus and Mars – the planets of love and desire – hold hands as they move through the middle of Leo. A Leo lady recently proclaimed she went to a wedding and everybody loved her and wanted to be near her. Acts of bravery and heroism could occur and cupid’s arrow may find its target.

Virgo Strangely, Virgo possesses similar qualities assigned to Leo. Both signs have a love of the grand and will go all-out in creating something wonderful or beautiful. Leo needs the attention and acknowledgement, whereas Virgo is more comfortable out of the spotlight. Well, Virgo, the cosmic spotlight is on you now and you can truly fly high.

Libra You’re known for you scintillating intellect, brilliance and ability to bring people together in unity and harmony. Now a time has arrived in which you can display some of that brainpower and magic that you possess. Mid-month, it’s probable you will be re-evaluating your overall plans.

Scorpio Finally, to your relief, on September 17 the grim taskmaster Saturn leaves your sign. Lessons learned, wisdom gained and now you can move forward once again. New doors are opening and opportunities developing, especially in the career sector. Your confidence increases as will your circle of friends and connections. Gird your loins and head out.

Sagittarius Travel and career sectors are hot, which is music to Sagittarius ears. It may not be all sweet music, though, as you may be casting about and seeking to better your situation. You may feel tired or bored with the status quo. Clashes with the higher-ups could be the case. Changes are in the wind.

Capricorn Dealing with publishers and editors, along with considerations regarding law, could be the case this month and onwards. Joint monies, inheritances and all that those topics entail may dominate your thoughts this month. In many ways, it is a transitional time for Capricorn and you may be in the midst of some personal changes now.

Aquarius Bells are ringing. It may be time now to partner-up or join-up. Joint monies and investments loom strong on the horizon. Inheritances may also figure into the picture. Long distance communications and all kinds of negotiations may be experienced. Because of the situation, you may have to rethink the plan again and again.

Pisces Do what you do best now, which is to reach into the cosmos and intuit or dream up a plan regarding how you want to go. You are in a special window of opportunity and you should pay attention to what your inner voice is saying now. It is speaking rather loudly and clearly.
