Astrology Readings in Omaha Nebraska

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.

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.

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.

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN - Posted November 20, 2008

The “planet” Pluto is currently entering the astrological sign of Capricorn. It briefly crossed over into the sign from January, 2008 to June 2008; then on November 26, 2008 it will re-enter Capricorn and slowly move through this sign until 2023.

Pluto is a powerful force. Its energy involves destruction, with the potential for regeneration and transformation. Looking back on Pluto’s effect in different astrological signs, we see it traveled through the sign of Libra from 1971 to 1983. One element that Libra represents is women. Prior to 1971, women were largely seen as delicate, irrational beings that needed a man to take care of them. During Pluto’s transit this delusion was challenged and destroyed with the image of woman significantly transformed.

Does Pluto’s energy always result in positive transformation? Looking back we can see that as much as there was a destruction of previous falsehood, what results is not always perfect. It is a time of opportunity; humanity is free to make any choice. During this period of Pluto in Libra, parts of society began to recognize woman as strong competent beings, other parts of our society clung more tightly to fundamentalist religions that keep women in subservient positions. Some resistance towards women’s new role was seen in the rise of violence towards women. Some women in connecting to their power developed an oppressive attitude towards men.

Since 1995 Pluto has been traveling through Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the energy that represents our legal system, a quest for truth and our beliefs that we live by. One “truth” that was destroyed was the belief that we have a fair legal system. Between the OJ Simpson murder trial in 1995 and the new technique of DNA testing, it was brought to light that our legal system was flawed. Another belief that was destroyed was the trust in our news media. Between revelations of journalist making up stories, to the lack of objective journalism leading up to the Iraq War, it became apparent that journalism and the news media had great flaws.

As this era comes to an end we see the legal system using DNA testing for more accurate judgments. In fact, an entire series of television programs focus on our fascination now with accurate crime scene investigations. Unfortunately, in real life there has been variable response in reviewing cases of those currently in prison that DNA could exonerate. In Nebraska, two men were recently released from prison because DNA testing proved they were not guilty of a crime committed in the 1980’s. DNA testing has been available for over 10 years. One wonders why it has taken so long to exonerate them.

The news media has had a variable response. We see worldwide many journalists willing to risk their lives for the sake of bringing forward the truth. In Russia, journalist Anna Politkovskaya reported on Putin’s brutal repression of the independence movement in the Chechnya. She was murdered for this, in what appears to be government sponsored assassination. A more negative response to this energy is the segment of our media that presents themselves as new programs, but really function only as brutal defenders of one political or cultural point of view.

So Pluto is the destroyer of delusions, which opens the door to transformation. With Pluto entering Capricorn we ask what does Capricorn represent, where will we have delusions destroyed? Capricorn relates to the practical, material world, to the economy, social status and business leaders. Even though Pluto has barely touched into Capricorn we have already seen massive destruction of delusions. We find that for years housing and investments have been booming based on the belief that housing prices always rise. Pluto has now blown that delusion out of the water and our financial world has been rocked.

Pluto will travel through Capricorn until 2023. There will be more delusions destroyed. One of them is global warming. The business community has been living in denial of global warming. The energy industry continues to build coal-fired plants. The American auto industry has resisted any move to produce more fuel efficient vehicles. As destruction from global warming increases, with record-breaking floods, storms and droughts, insurance companies will be hit hard. We are already paying a huge price for this denial. We need to wake up and address these issues quickly.

Pluto in Capricorn will be a difficult time in a very real sense. Many people speak of the W.W.II generation as the Greatest Generation; they united, worked hard and sacrificed to save the world from fascism. What we face now will require as much unity, hard work and sacrifice to pull the world through this difficult time; anything less will not work.
