Astrology Forecast (Summer 2011)

Cynthia NovakPoliticians and people of integrity rise to the surface and others fall hard. Watch for the facts and ignore gossip. Still, scandal is in the air and scandalous behavior stings like smog. Most of us have a particularly pleasant summer. Planets are scattered about the heavens, a little stress here…a little bliss there…grins. The simple things are more meaningful. We appreciate home more since we’ve seen homes flooded, burned and shattered. As for astrology, the first half of 2011 was extraordinary in the eyes of astrologers and astronomers alike. There was a large cluster or gathering of planets. They moved rather like a crowd does: Faster planets pulled away from one group and merged with another until finally they are free. In fact, most of us are breaking free from something in ourselves: Call it enlightenment or clarity of liberation from guilt. This summer we can dally where possible and explore what intrigues us. However, be aware of your actions, both past and present. The past comes to the surface when we least expect it.

Saturn goes forward as Jupiter turns back: This combination is generally good for business and growth. Saturn is the pragmatist and the guilder. He is the foundation, as well as frustration. Saturn appeared to stop and go forward at 16 degrees Virgo. Jupiter will stop at 16 degrees Aries in September. If you happen to have a planet in your Vedic chart at 16 degrees you are primed this summer for something big. It might be a great vacation or an interesting idea or just a calm sense that your life is built of strong stuff. Dust off that idea that got bogged down in the drama of this year. You are on time to get it going. A little stress stimulates creativity for all of us, but particularly folks with a personal (those you can see with you own eyes) planet in any constellation and between 13 and 19 degrees.

July Astrology Forecast

Happy Birthday USA! There is a Solar Eclipse visible in Antarctica on the 1st. There is a birthday party on the 4th and a month filled with productive days. Saturn pulls forward. Like a barge finally set free, Saturn leaves the cosmic marathon men Uranus and Pluto behind. This is actually good for a nice stroll into summer and into something that intrigues you. The eclipse path marks a place in the heavens for scandal. Notables and commoners alike fall from grace and are as shocking as a cuss word during Sunday Service. This is a central theme this summer. Ketu heralds consequences hidden on the Excess Express. This has been in the news since May. What marks this quarter is the final shift of several personal planets over Ketu and into the grasp of destiny. It is best to operate from integrity or take your karmic lumps quickly and often publicly. A wise western astrologer told me years ago that this point “takes away” what crosses it. It’s supposedly good for enlightenment, but that translates into stress that directs us to awakening. I hope we all “rise” to the occasion. I suspect that financial scandals won’t be the only ones…but they are big.

On July 20th, the planet Mars moves over Ketu or the dragon’s tail. Once Mars is fully over that point, he moves through lunar mansions known for hunting down those so consumed by desire their actions were an affront to the gods and to civilized man. This sounds like high drama and most of us will watch the news and wonder: “How did he presume he’d get away with it?” We need look no further than dictators and their bank accounts, but there are little dictators in daily life, too.

July and August are strong for scandal and stronger still for the revolutions begun this year. Ghadafi and Assan remain in the news as do other tenuous dictators. Yes, the world will send money to the revolutionaries they support. How will it go? Let’s hope intention is clear and the money goes down in history as well spent for good causes. For now, it’s difficult to see how it will end, but it will heighten this July and August. This is the beginning of new leadership in many of these nations and more.

August Astrology Forecast

Capital Hill went home for the August break, but the aspects of surprise and frustration follow them. On the 10th Mars triggers Uranus, a predictable combination for unexpected events. By the 25th Mars stresses Saturn and “We the People” are easily irritated and generally unimpressed. Politicians hoping for business as usual may find themselves in the middle of some tired constituents. Irritable transits are good for keeping the “us versus them” going. Expect plenty of padding to the reduced budget this fall. Soothe your own irritable mood—that’s the motto for the 2nd half of the month. Everyone wants a break from the political heat and while Mars and Saturn are stressed, it reminds us that the simple things are really wonderful. If you are in a mood to complain, keep it to a few good friends and even then, expect a mini-revolution if you insist on going over the old tired whine one more time.

Terror plots and tyrannical dictators remain in the news. We are fascinated by the courage of citizen revolutionaries. August is a volatile month. The President and congress thought they would have time off, but they could well be called back for an urgent session. Yes, the budget is an issue, but this could be a more international matter.

Mercury is retrograde from August 2nd until the 26th: Double check the facts and set aside some mental down time. It would be great to take a long leisurely vacation now. It’s hot and even in cooler climates, this is a month to slow down and let nature ripen the crops. Everyone wants a little personal space. The heat is a good reason to get out early or stay up late. However, many of us want to be alone and the retrograde Mercury period heightens the feeling. Folks who are introspective love these periods. Those who are double booked or chronically over scheduled hate them. No matter who schedules for you, keep humor at hand because plans will change and inevitably someone will go to the wrong place certain that they are right! Caution: Don’t lie. Mercury is the communication planet: With the transits this month, it is not the time to try to slip by on a little white lie.

September Astrology Forecast

Jupiter appears to stop and move backward. If Jupiter triggers your chart, you’ll feel opportunity, insight and a general sense of well being…call it your own state of Grace. Look for big news about the value of meditation and about the effects of stress on the psyche and the body. Also, watch for news about the impact of electronics on brainwaves and exciting new testing tools that read energy and the immune system. Pluto appears to stop in the heavens on the 16th. Watch Palestine. On the 29th Venus crosses Saturn and complicated relationships come to a productive compromise. I don’t know about the Middle East as a whole, but for individuals and nations the end of this month bodes well for compromise. It won’t last long. The elections are ready and scandal continues this fall. India and Pakistan are in the news. Mars triggers their birth charts. Born August 15th, 1947 to separate Pakistan from India, these two nations are united with very volatile birth charts. Mars triggers them through September and October. We hope for the best of Mars: decisive action in the service of the world and their people. We also hope for wisdom.

Love and Money are a little fickle, but don’t overreact until you get the facts. As the planets seem to kick up the dust of past indiscretions and greedy scams it’s hard to trust. Relationships are tested and by the end of this season some relationships and peace talks will fail, but many more will be stronger and more committed than ever. Online dating takes a backseat to in-person meeting. Yes, divine intervention is alive and well in social settings. Do you believe you could meet someone wonderful? Will you take the time to look around you? This summer is actually good for patient conversation with no goal other than to listen and share.

Business gets stronger. As we leave these months, the Market is tentative, but gaining. Businesses are growing and defense contractors are making a bundle in the midst of revolutions. We will look back on 2011 as a year when vast sums were reallocated to help birth new governments. Watch the financial news: it heralds growth for an exciting future.

President Obama has a series of Mars and Uranus transits: He will really want to be free and to have some time off, however, it doesn’t look like much of an August vacation. Scandal may surface, but he should rise above it. Former President GWB enjoys broad popularity.

Astrology Tip: Although folks talk about 2012, the aspects of the past 12 months were more intense and of concern to this astrologer. However, now they are past as we pull forward into something new. The Saturn-Uranus opposition is over and the economy is building. Expect more drilling here in the USA. Some folks are feeling the flow of wealth where there has been poverty. Don’t forget that.

Rise Above Your Circumstances

Vince LombardiWe have all experienced quite a tumultuous past few years. Whether we’ve lost a job, a house or watched others lose theirs, it has been hard not to notice that many things have changed or are not what they were.

I recently saw the movie, “The Company Men”. This really brought home to me the difficulties that many people have experienced since 2008. It’s one thing to read that over 400,000 people lost their jobs this week. However, these numbers seem to lose their meaning after awhile or they seem like an improvement to the 500,000 or more who were losing their jobs previously. We do not really stop and think about what this means for these people- how their lives have changed and how what they have counted on has suddenly disappeared. Often they begin to experience a downward spiral where they may lose their home, their car, and many other things they held dear.

For some it is an opportunity to appreciate what they do have- their loved ones, their health, their ability to reinvent themselves in a new and exciting way. For others, it is an experience from which they are unable to recover. Some families are able to pull together, to support each other, and to help each other to feel loved and valuable. Other families are torn apart. Some are able to make the adjustment, while others are not.

Life is an ebb and flow. Often I think it is like a pendulum. We swing one way and then another. We are all on a journey that winds and turns and has its ups and downs. Often what seems like a tragedy is really an opportunity disguised as a loss. Vince Lombardi, one of the most successful coaches in football history said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get back up”. He also stated, “The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall”. He lived his beliefs and was the driving force of the Green Bay Packers from 1959-1967. With his leadership, they won five National Football League championships.

It is this type of drive and determination that helps us to achieve our goals. It is also in understanding that people have value beyond what they do or where they live that makes all of the difference. Several years ago my father told me that he thought it was important for people to live up to their potential. I agree. I hope you will be all that you are capable of being and that no matter how many times you are knocked down that you will always get back up.

Love & Light,

The Hero’s Journey

Star Wars PosterI remember squinting at the alarm clock as I woke up on my 50th birthday. Red glowing numbers came into focus, 4:51. I’m reminded of Ray Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451, and I think about the book that I’m writing with Felicia. I’ve been obsessing over details, and she has been urging me firmly, “Just get it done!”

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I contemplate the past half century and I’m grateful for my life, my parents, my family, and my friends. I’ve been gifted with amazing resources. These blessings have given me a rich life; rich in friendships, knowledge, opportunities, and joy. I feel like my life is a gift. I feel like a magnet for synchronicity.

I appreciate that I live in extraordinary times. Just 250 years ago, the fabric of my entire life would have seen very little change. It would be a clone of my father’s life: whatever tools he used in his trade would be the same ones that I would use. Today, technology advances led by the digital revolution are rapidly transforming the way we work, read, shop, and, of course, communicate.

Amidst these dizzying changes, I find it comforting to reflect on things that don’t change. Throughout time, mankind has recognized energies that we call archetypes. Mythology, the study of these archetypes and their similar expression across cultures and timespans, highlights the timeless nature of our collective unconscious. It doesn’t matters whether the hero rides a dragon, a horse, or a Harley. The hero’s journey is always the same—final destination: Home. The hero’s journey is filled with temptations, struggle, loss, gain, more loss, betrayal, allies, foes, mentors, demons, and lovers. The journey rewards the hero with intangible riches—the discovery of an inner power and a mastery and a knowing that they are not separate from the Source of the Divine.

I cannot imagine what the next 50 years will hold for me and for this world. On the quiet early morning of my birthday I manage to pull myself from bed and focus my wandering imagination on the tasks at hand. I finally publish The HCG Guidebook to the Amazon Kindle store. Felicia and I are officially authors! We had two milestones to celebrate that evening, my birthday and our book. Felicia has always pushed me to be my best, and while I sometimes push back, I know in my heart that I’m a better person with her as my wife.

Warm regards,
tony-sig

Remembering “Ami”

Severo “Ami” Amagna, passed away on February 12, 2011 at the age of 87 in Carrollton, TX. Originally from the Philippines, Ami was the son of the late Agerico Amagna & Salavadora Venzon of Iba, Zambales. He was preceded in death by his wife, Anita Amagna. He is survived by his children Linda Gerber (Hal), Rob Amagna (Edna) & Elizabeth Atendido (Jose); grandchildren Tau Gerber, Ahren Gerber, Mark Amagna, Monica Schneider (Chris), Jeremy Atendido & Angelica Atendido.

Ami served in the Philippine army until WWII & provided intelligence to the guerillas during the Japanese occupation. After the war, he resumed his education, graduating from National University in Manila with degrees in civil & chemical engineering. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship earning his masters degree in chemical engineering at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology. Ami went on to a successful 40-year career at Caltex Petroleum Company. After retirement, Ami launched a second career as a master macrobiotic counselor & practitioner of oriental medicine, making a profound difference in the health and well-being of his patients for 20 years.

Ami was an avid student of the holistic approach to health. He would attend lectures, workshops, and the Wellness Expo and engage everyone he met with the latest interesting topic that he was studying. A friendly, warm, and compassionate person, Ami will be missed by his friends and family.

Acupuncture for Asthma

Asthma, a chronic disease of the lungs, affects an estimated 300 million people around the world. Although it is considered a treatable disease with proper medication, it still claims over 3,000 deaths each year in the U.S. alone. It is also one of the most common diseases for which patients turn to alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, for treatment and relief. Like all methods in Oriental medicine, acupuncture utilizes a holistic approach wherein treatment is focused on achieving overall health and well-being in order to remove the troublesome symptoms associated with asthma.

In traditional Chinese medicine, asthma is considered not just a disorder of the lungs but also of the kidneys and the stomach. This explains why the acupoints that correspond to the treatment of asthma are located along the lung, kidney, and stomach meridians. Acupoints along the bladder meridian are also treated since bladder function is considered important for the overall health of the body’s organs.

Acupuncture is widely used as a preventative medicine technique, and as such, is most effective when used to treat initial attacks or mild bouts of asthma. The disease is one of 40 considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) that may benefit from acupuncture. One study conducted by the University of Vienna Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care showed that at least 70% of the patients suffering from asthma reported improvement after undergoing regular acupuncture treatment for a span of 10 weeks.

Another study, conducted in Kaifeng City’s Department of Acupuncture in the Second Municipal People’s Hospital in Henan, China, involved 192 patients with bronchial asthma. All patients were treated with acupuncture and results showed significant improvement in over 75% of patients. Clinical remission also reduced and the majority of patients reported immediate relief post-treatment.

While asthma symptoms can range from very slight to severe depending on the individual, there are several medical treatment options available for patients suffering from asthma. In addition to conventional medical modalities, acupuncture and other alternative therapies are becoming increasingly popular today as effective means for treating chronic conditions including asthma.

Overcoming Obstacles

Unstoppable_PosterSometimes in life we are given opportunities to overcome tremendous obstacles. I often think that when we are thrown a curve ball that our best move is to hit a home run. It is at these times that we are able to truly show what kind of people we are. Do we give up and quit or do we find a creative solution to our difficulties? Some of my favorite memories of my father are how he always managed to find the most amazing solutions to life’s challenges. He never asked why something was happening, but always moved directly into his problem-solving mode. His creative solutions never ceased to amaze me.

I recently saw the movie Unstoppable, which was based on a true story of how three men were instrumental in stopping a runaway train, containing hazardous chemicals. This exciting film demonstrated the power of the human spirit to overcome incredible difficulties in a positive, heroic way. I left the theatre feeling so inspired by this movie, which would have seemed to be farfetched if it was not based on true events. This is my favorite type of film- the ones which would not be believable if they were not inspired by reality.

Tony and I recently had the experience of having to overcome the ice and snow to hold the Wellness Expo in Grapevine. We were impressed by the dedication and tenacity of our exhibitors, who were able to get themselves to this event. We were also grateful to the wonderful attendees, who came to the show. It really helped with the cabin fever many people experienced during this time, returned our lives to normalcy and got people moving forward in a positive way. After the event, Tony told me how he felt that he had really grown as a person. I felt the same way. Often it is in overcoming our obstacles that we are able to stretch ourselves and grow. How much have you learned from the things that have come easily to you?

We hope you will join us for the April 16-17, 2011 Wellness Expo in Addison and the June 25-26, 2011 Wellness Expo in Grapevine. Here you will find inspiration, solutions to life’s challenges, and an opportunity to grow. We are honored and gratified to be able to produce this event with such a fine group of professionals, dedicated to doing their best work in all kinds of circumstances. We are not expecting any more ice and snow-just a fabulous event with incredible people. We hope you will be one of them.

Your Spring Stars (2011)

Cynthia NovakWelcome tempestuous spring: Goodbye unpredictable winter. The fast-moving personal planets pull away from Neptune, the mysterious planet of illumination or confusion; then they cross Uranus, the planet of revolution and freedom. Uranus is unpredictable. The only thing we can count on is the unexpected. Here in Texas spring began in February and as I write this, the gift of spring is still upon us. I heard it said that in Texas spring can be short as a whisker. That is true. Summer heat lands in May and lingers through September. We’ll take this gift because it will change.

Like a political demonstration under a tyrannical ruler, a spring breeze and hope for rain can turn into a deadly tornado. The planets gather in fruitful lunar mansions this spring. Each New Moon plants the seed for an abundant future and reminds us that it takes dedication, skill and sometimes daring to produce and protect the harvest. We the People of the world are part of nature. We are mighty in our own eyes and yet still vulnerable to mortality. That sounds ominous, but it is merely reverence. This spring we are surrounded with change and opportunity. There is no need to minimize its greatness. Jupiter is the planet of luck, law, theatre and learning. Jupiter remains unusually strong through April and though he moves into the constellation Aries in May in the Vedic system, Jupiter is still good for prosperity. I had no idea that the mix of Jupiter with high tech Uranus would be a series of revolutions organized on the social networking international stage. Uranus is innately unpredictable.

April: The first week of April is eventful and productive. Jupiter pulls away from Saturn’s opposing grasp. Money flows again. The Market continues to edge up: a jump up and a dive down…but optimism reigns and it continues to rise. Saturn reveals those in need. Jupiter is compelled to tell their stories. The legislature must balance resources with need and future growth. It’s rather daunting. Each New Moon since January, we see a great deal of need opposed by Saturn’s tight budget. It’s the nature of things, but nature is all about life and death. Like several years of drought, it is hard to plant when seed and soil are drained. However, nature is tenacious and hopeful and will try again. Survival depends upon it.

As April begins, things are starting to move…but it takes 10 days to believe it….maybe more. Gas prices should slowly come down by mid-May. It looks treacherous in Libya and 7 other Arab nations, but it is the beginning of a new cycle. Jupiter opposes Saturn exactly for the final time this month. These planets of economic reconstruction move slowly and remind us that hope requires diligence and that tenacity eventually pays off for those who balance it with hope. Jupiter is big ideas and Saturn is the gritty work of holding on until we find a way.

April has a most exciting New Moon on the 3rd. Mercury, the planet of communication and transportation appeared to stop in the heavens just before the New Moon. This is actually good for mental clarity. Mercury is at the very last degree of the lunar mansion Revati: think of Revati as where the end and the beginning are one. Mercury appears to stand still. Slowly he will move backward as Jupiter, the optimist, moves forward. Which way will the 8 nations go? In some respect, our own lives are in a state of change.

Retrograde Mercury: April 3rd until April 25th is a time to reflect and review. Back up your files and simplify your schedule. It’s a great for meditation and the time voted most likely for your subconscious mind to flush your schedule. Confirm that meeting and be brief. Everyone wants a little quiet time. If you are in sales, folks want peace, quiet and simplicity.

Mars and Uranus are just minutes apart on April 3rd. If you feel plugged into a collective power surge, you are not alone. The Sun (think life-force or ego) has pulled away from Mars. Aggression and war are part of Mars’ domain…but so is service. Mars with Uranus is associated with accidents. Why? Because we are distracted and irritated or outright mad. Breathe deeply, focus and do not walk and talk, much less try to juggle text messages and drive.

Something big is coming. If you want to sell your house for a fair price, then do an open house on the 3rd. It is also a productive time to immerse yourself in study, nature, a yoga retreat or to learn about enlightenment. Most of us are too distracted: the challenge is to focus on present time and breathe. Work at it until it becomes natural. These are blustery days and the news is full of anger. However, it and we are also filled with light. Breathe deeply until you can find it. It is beneath the fear and is truly in the arms and eyes of those around you. Do something to lighten someone’s load. Hire him to work with you or finish that project. Venus is exalted in Vedic astrology and she helps us discover compassion. Practical Saturn faces her: She won’t cry for you, but will help you build something.

May: Mars dashes into Aries on May 3rd. Just in time for the New Moon. You’ve got to get going! Mars is good for action and he is particularly good for a fresh start. Not next year, but today or at least tomorrow. Mars is also good for business. Venus remains strong and this combination works for romance. Mars is action-oriented and this Venus is gentle: She is attraction-oriented. That can be confusing, but is also the best of both. Push ahead then allow. Plant your seed, but watch the weather, know what your garden needs, allow it to grow as is the plant’s nature not your own demands. And yes, the harvest is good. There is nothing in this process that allows for neglect. In fact, you may need to groom and protect your seedlings. Keep and eye on the stormy weather in your own thoughts. Do you really want to throw thunder and anger? Can you use your energy to build or will you dread?

Jupiter breaks into Aries on May 8th. He’ll spend a year here with 3 months in Ashwini. I love this mansion! It celebrates the healing power of dawn: The gift of a new day. Just sleep on the problem and it will look better tomorrow. Rest and the stress will step aside and present a new perspective. Jupiter is an optimist and this is a fresh start. In fact, it’s the beginning of the great wheel of all 28 lunar mansions. The lunar mansion is called Ashwini for The Ashwins. They are magical beings born from the Sun God and his estranged wife. She left him because his ego was so big he couldn’t see who she really was. Only when his children fought each other did he see that his family was amiss. He came to his wife with what he’d learned. From their union the Ashwins were born and they bring the dawn of a new day…every day. Now, Jupiter reminds us that even the most self-centered person can learn to see himself. He and we can seek enlightenment…and find it in time.

June, a month for weddings, begins with Venus and Mars together. Think charisma, chemistry, impatience and demands. Don’t let the bride or groom-zilla surface in you. Reach for wisdom: invest your time and creativity to do for others. Remember, it’s not about “me” it’s about “we.” If you have the lavish, opulent wedding of your dreams, remember that the dress or the venue is not as important as the spouse. Can you give of your heart? Is the surface more important than the core?

Two Solar eclipses! There are two solar eclipses and a lunar eclipse in between. It is rarer than a blue moon. They are partial eclipses: neither are fully in the eclipse path so the shadow of the Moon cannot fully block the Sun’s light. The 1st is June 1 in the far northern hemisphere and the 2nd July 1 near Antarctica. Wow! Don’t you know that Arctic drilling and global warming will be in the news this summer? There is a lunar eclipse between them on the 15th of June.

The Obama Presidency: The groups of planets are not sitting on any in his chart. This is an important time in his Presidency, but as Mars pulls away within a few months, he seems even more distant. He’s in the final year of his Jupiter master cycle (think political opportunity). Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has very powerful transits. Her fierce combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto in her birth chart are triggered throughout this spring. I wonder where her place on the world stage will take her in 2012? She won’t fade away. She has strength and experience and this time in history will chronicle her courage.

Presidents Past: Both GWB and Bill Clinton have lots of positive planetary action to their charts this spring. Jupiter is always good for politicians…even retired ones. I expect good things from them.
