Most people are aware of Sun-sign astrology. This is the astrology that you see in the newspapers and magazines and it is general advice and information based on one's sun sign. For example, you might read that someone born between March 21 and April 19 is an Aries and Aries are assertive, adventurous with a natural love of challenge, etc. However, Astrology examines more than a person's sun sign. It takes into account all eight planets, the sun, the moon and several sensitive areas such as the rising sign. Each of these aspects providing insight into the psychological energies that is unique to each person.

My approach to Astrology is to examine these psychological energies to understand their strengths and weakness and help guide people to the healthiest expression of themselves. I believe strongly that we all have free will; we all have the freedom to manifest our inner energies in a healthy manner or less than healthy manner. Astrology like many other metaphysical arts can be helpful in bringing to consciousness inner issues and energies. Through this conscious attention we can connect to our healthiest self.

Birth Chart Interpretation

1. The birthchart interpretation is the first step. This examines the position of the planets and stars at the moment of birth. This provides insights into the psychological energies that are the basis of your character.

2. I also have a computerized printout interpretation created by Steven Forrest, the author of The Inner Sky available, if a personal reading would not work for you.

Please Note: For any type of reading I will need the date, time and location of your birth. It is essential that the information be accurate, including the birthtime. Your birth certificate in most cases will have a time noted on it.

Current and Future Trends

The astrological energies in one's life change over time. The natal chart is the root of this energy; overtime there is movement and expansion of the energy, symbolized in the actual movement of the planets (transits) and the symbolic movement of the planets (secondary progressions). Consciously connecting to these changes can help one to reach toward healthier life choices.

SATURN IN VIRGO

On September 2, 2007, the planet Saturn enters the sign of Virgo. It will be moving through that sign until November, 2009. Saturn relates to the real world, the material world. Where Saturn is moving through our birth chart we are challenged to mature and be more realistic. The more we have been unrealistic in our life, the more difficult these Saturn lessons are.
We all have Virgo energy somewhere in our birth chart, however the intensity of this energy varies. Those with planets in Virgo will feel this strongest, especially those with their Sun in Virgo. Virgo is an earth sign meaning that it has a very practical nature. It is focused on health, wholeness, work, service and meticulous attention to detail. Historically it was the sign of the servant. Servants are not common in our culture, but we do have people that take on the role of public servants. On the negative side, Virgo energy can be obsessed with perfection or service to the point of martyrdom.
A person that I frequently use as an example of Virgo energy is Warren Buffett. His work is a major focus of his life and it involves hours of reading and analyzing business reports. Through his meticulous attention to detail he has created a company that has provided him with great wealth, but it has also served to provide a profitable opportunity for other investors.
Vice President Dick Cheney has Virgo as his rising sign and it rules his first house. Saturn will enter his first house on September 26, 2007. The rising sign and first house symbolize the public persona. As Saturn enters Vice President Cheney’s first house he will be challenged to examine his public image. President George W. Bush has Leo as this rising sign and ruling his first house. Saturn just finished traveling through his first house and we can see that this was a difficult time for him.
Along with health and work, Virgo also relates to animals and agriculture. During the next two years Saturn energy will be affecting these areas of our society. We can already see in the area of health there is a concern about a shortage of nurses, because of a lack of nursing instructors; there are concerns about an avian flu epidemic, if it develops will we be prepared. In the area of agriculture, the new push for ethanol is causing food prices to rise and conflicts on water rights to intensify. In the United States, we began using genetically modified crops for our food several years ago. It was assumed that this was safe. If this is an unrealistic assumption, Saturn traveling through Virgo can bring this to light.
