2017 - The Year of The Fire Rooster

This week we celebrate Chinese New Year.
2017 is the year of the flamboyant Fire Rooster which means it's show time all year long!

Just as we were congratulating ourselves for surviving 2016 with all the Fire Monkey's shenanigans, we come to find out the wild rumpus is just getting started. Like Chanticleer in the story by Chaucer, who thought it was his crow that made the sun rise, The Fire Rooster year dominates center stage with brash over-confident characters in love with the sound of their own voices. Make way for parades and displays, arrogant leaders and lots of cheering fans and angry protesters!
,
We see the Chinese symbolism backed up by Western astrology when we note that Mars, the fighter and take action planet, has just entered his empowering sign Aries. Fast and brash, he's full speed ahead and unstoppable until mid-March. On a national level we see Mars happening as our new president signs one executive order after another even though - like Chanticleer crowing for the Sun - he doesn't have the power to back up his demands.

On a personal level this planet, along with the firey rooster, is emboldening people to do things they wouldn't have dare considered even a year ago. Fun while it lasts, but please add a strong dose of caution to whatever enterprises you are launching now. Know your facts and get the details. Luck runs out for those who try to get by on bluster and show. By the end of the year we're going to all be demanding reality checks.

There are two tricky events coming up this week that need careful navigating:

Venus will change signs from compassionate accepting Pisces where she begged for universal patience and understanding, to Aries on February 5, which is warrior country and it's No More Misses Nice Gal time. Venus in Aries signifies putting one's own interests first. Will that mean enlightened self interest where we recognize that our success depends on the success of others? Or will we demand everything be done our way regardless of the devastation it brings the next guy? Surely this is the time to remind ourselves "What goes around comes around"!

Also happening on February 5, Jupiter will be turning retrograde in Libra. Jupiter represents seeing the world so Jupiter retrograde could portend a pullback or restriction on travel. In Libra, the sign ruling courts, Jupiter could indicate court battles over immigration policies, which we are already starting to see this weekend with Trump's signing a ban on allowing people from certain countries to enter the U.S. Expect  more court battles to follow.

Together these four events - the beginning of the year of The Fire Rooster, Venus and Mars into Aries, and Jupiter retrograde in Libra - set the scene for outrageous shows of nationalism full of sound and fury but will they signifying something or nothing?

Better load up on popcorn,

Making America Great: Astrological Predictions for 2017

Whether you voted for the new commander in chief or are adamantly clear Mr. Trump is not your president, one thing is sure: we ALL want America to be great. With this thought in mind I'm looking at what the planets foretell for us and our country and the world for 2017...

Uranus, the planet of individual freedom, in Aries dominates the skies for the next twelve months. We are at a time when our main focus and all our spiritual lessons are about finding our true selves. We want to reconcile the duality between what we see on the outside with what we know to be true on the inside. This should bring great opportunities for self knowledge, but they could include some trying times if we resist recognizing our own responsibility in creating our reality.

For the next thirty days particularly  we will all be facing situations where we must sharpen our instincts. We've been lulled to sleep believing that our government, our employers, our mommies and daddies were going to somehow always be there taking care of us. This caused us to ignore blatant signs of decay, from global warming in the world to our own personal bad habits. Somehow we let ourselves be schmoozed into thinking Someone Else would set things right. Well Elsie has left the building, folks, and now it's all on us. We can no longer believe the "alternative facts" being fed us by every news source we turn to. We have to start listening to our inner voice.

Jupiter - the planet of abundance - is opposing Uranus through all this meaning "abundance" is not our friend this year. Be very careful not to bite off more than you can chew. This applies not just to being wary of salesmen and politicians trying to sell you a bill of goods, but also we must be careful not to try to change everything in our lives all at once. Thus while we may know we can't trust the admen and "officials" to have our best interests at heart, we must also not try to stop all our dependencies cold turkey. One stepping stone at a time crosses the swamp.

Mars in Pisces this month showed us how much energy there is among those seemingly without a voice as demonstrated by the unprecedented turn out for The Woman's March and this was just a display of the troops. Mars will enter Aries along with Venus the end of this month and the first part of February. That's when the game will really get going.

Meanwhile, consider what you can do to be the shelter in the storm for those who's lives are being tested at this time. With Mars in Pisces we're either the savior or the victim. I'd much rather be the one offering help.

Furthermore, along with promoting individual freedom Uranus is also known for creating unexpected changes. Keep your freedom and honor your word by being careful not to commit yourself too far into the future. Don't let folks pin you down or force you to sign binding agreements you just aren't comfortable with. Uranus teaches us we are successful when we take each day as it comes and don't spread ourselves too thin.

The important thing to remember is this is a year where you want to keep the initiative in your hands. Circumstances will sharpen your instincts and clarify your vision. Only a fool would not be cautious.

Call me for a more detailed reading for how you can get the most out of this exceptional year of challenge and opportunity.

A Psychic's Guide to Solving Any Problem

 Whether the problem a caller confronts concerns love, health or money, they usually reach out to me when there is a need to do something immediately. But what to do? How to do it? These are questions that need to be answered calmly with a clear head. All too often decisions to take action are made at the height of emotional imbalance and mental confusion, with the result that, instead of our mastering the undesirable situation, we find it has been made even worse.

  Therefore, at this point, it is not so much facts a seeker seeks when calling a reader, but what's wanted is something to restore self confidence, some words or insight to realign us with our own inner knowing. This is very easy to say and not so easy to do , but it can be done!

  Just what do we mean when we say we must have confidence in ourselves? I like to call it Spiritual Self Reliance - that is, the ability to connect and rely on a spiritual knowingness greater than our physical circumstances. So it's not that we need confidence in our own intelligence, rather we want connection to our Higher Intelligence, the Divine Presence that created us, that created this "story" we are now living and which will surly create yet another chapter with a surprise twist leading to a happy ending. Often this means we need someone, such as a psychic reader, who can see things from our point of view - not to schmooze us and tell us what we want to hear, but to validate what we think we see when we don't have confidence in our own instincts.

To give an example, I had a caller who's son disapproved of her new boyfriend and who was threatening to never speak to her again if she did not immediately call off their friendship. The lady doubted if the boy would really disown her but he might and furthermore she was simply feeling really bad that he was taking this harsh attitude. So she felt that if she broke up with her friend it wasn't fair to her - and also not good for her son to wield such power over her - but she also knew her son sincerely didn't trust the man and she didn't know how to reassure him or calm his fears. In fact, she even wondered if perhaps her son was right and maybe she was hooking up with a con-artist?

I laid out the cards. First up was the JUSTICE card which signifies balanced partnership, but it was reversed indicating the question involved issues around the balance of power in relationships. Next came the three of cups and the five of swords. These cards suggest a threesome and the possibility of conflict. So far we were getting a clear picture of the uncertainty surrounding this partnership with perhaps a hint that part of the problem was due to her giving her son - or maybe even the boyfriend - too much power. The card representing her current circumstances was a person looking off into the clouds. This could mean her not seeing things clearly, maybe she was in fantasy land about the romance or maybe it meant she herself didn't know what she wanted to do. In the Near Future position we got the Knight of Hearts, the boyfriend card. I saw this as indicating her friend would continue to woo her as a boyfriend - and thus she really didn't need to make up her mind about him as to whether he was a suitable husband yet. The card representing herself was the eight of hearts - a person going off on a journey, but it was reversed meaning she wasn't going anywhere - no intention to run off with a stranger. The final outcome cards included THE LOVERS and the King of Wands. To sum it all up I told her it appeared the relationship was still at the beginning stages, the man was still courting her and she herself was uncertain how much further she wanted to commit, yet it looked as if she did decide to continue there was reason to believe the friendship would develop into something very positive. All in all it appeared the cards were saying the son was trying to protect the mother - possibly because she herself was still ambivalent? When the cards reassured her that her boyfriend would not leave even if she was not ready to commit, she was then able to see for herself how  she would be able to reassure the son he needn't worry, that she wasn't making any sudden moves or going anywhere anytime soon.

Now you or I might look at that reading and say, "Well shucks, the cards just gave the kind of sound advice you'd expect any clear thinking friend to give." Exactly! And  that's the beauty of the cards! It's not that we need miraculous examples of other worldly powers. When we're confused and hurting, clear sensible advice is what we're needing. Once we get that, we're back on track and can happily say,  "Thanks cards - I'll take it from here."

I'm here when you need me,
