In astrology, the male or positive signs are depicted as Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. The feminine or negative signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. The positive or negative traits assigned to each sun sign have nothing to do with a positive or negative attitude. It separates the zodiac signs into leaders and followers, extroverts or introverts, those who are extremely talkative, and those who quietly observe, whether you will become a leader of industry or a teacher, are you romantic or more practical?
Solar eclipses give you approximately two days a year when you can reset your goals, dreams, ambitions, and aspirations; however, there have been years when there were three or four solar eclipses! They will be in either positive or negative signs. If it is in your positive or negative group, then you can be sure the next six months will be very dynamic with lots of reassuring changes guiding you toward your goals. When an eclipse is not in your group, it doesn’t provide easy opportunities or positive energy to make things go your way, but you can use the eclipse energy to change things you do not like or to choose another path. You still need to be proactive and positive on the eclipse no matter your sign. Circumstances and life may get blown out of proportion and challenges may occur. This could result in issues with family, partners, health, career or money, as well as other areas of life. Now you know one of the reasons why life isn’t always treating you fairly. You must be persistent to make life go in the direction you intended. On an eclipse, make sure to keep the day positive and the next six months of your life will steadily improve.
The next solar eclipse is on December 4, 2020. This is a great time to set your intention list of what you want to happen in your life moving forward. Plan now and make the eclipse day a positive one.
Can eclipses have a dramatic impact on one’s life?
A dramatic impact means that you can change your life and go in any direction you wish. If you don’t like the way your life is going, you can change it in a positive way and the effect will last until the – next subsequent eclipse. It’s a great time to start a new project, health regime, or business, especially a home-based business. Eclipses provide a cosmic wake-up call to help manifest your highest intentions.
Whether you can see an eclipse or not is irrelevant. The energy of the eclipse affects the whole world and the whole day from midnight to midnight no matter when the actual eclipse takes place.
What should you do on an eclipse?
It’s very simple and practical. Do whatever you want to be doing for the next six months. So, if you want to start looking for a new job, send out resumes on that day. If you are trying to sell your home, talk to a realtor that day or drop into a realtor’s office. Better yet, put your house up for sale on an eclipse for extra energy in selling it quickly. If you like your job, get to work on time, be friendly, have lunch with co-workers, and do each assignment with enthusiasm and dedication, etc. Don’t go shopping on an eclipse or your intent would be to spend extra money during the next six months. Reach out to people you would like to have in your life more. You can email, write or visit with them, it doesn’t matter. Contact is an important issue. Put money in the bank so you’ll have money to save during the next six months. Go out for a meal with friends or loved ones so that you will have more time and money to do that going forward. I tell women don’t offer to pay for the meal so that they don’t spend the year ahead paying. If you are ill on this day, unfortunately, you may catch a lot of colds; so please take care of yourself so you don’t have to worry about your health. An eclipse is a great day to tell someone you love them.
You can start a new redecorating project, makeover, or new hobby. You can take a new class, learn a foreign language, make a home-cooked meal for the family if it is your intent to have the family around the dinner table more, but remember, you will be cooking more.
Personally, I like to read, write, take my dogs for a walk, listen to relaxing music, watch Youtube tutorials, rest, update my blogs or website, and make sure I either lecture or have clients on that day to attract more business in the future.
What shouldn’t you do on an eclipse?
This is easy yet important. Do not do housework! Do not schedule any medical procedures or doctor appointments. You don’t want to be sick for the next six months, do you? Do not pay bills or you will have more bills to pay. Do not have a fight with anyone. If you do, makeup quickly so this will not be an issue for the future. Do not stay home from work on this day or you could be downsized, laid off or fired. Several students tested me on this and told me in the following semester that they had lost their jobs because they went to the beach on an eclipse instead of to work. They learned their lesson the hard way. If you are homesick, take a shower, wash your hair, get dressed and do something relaxing that does not remind you of your illness. You may wish to read, continue a puzzle, paint, crochet, watch Youtube videos, talk a leisurely walk, binge watch a TV show you haven’t seen or learn a new subject online, etc. Don’t procrastinate.
Don’t do anything you don’t want to be doing over and over again for the next six months. Think about what you want to accomplish and make sure you are doing what brings you closer to your goals. Be with the people you want to be with for the next six months.
A solar eclipse is a wonderful way to reorganize your life and bring in positive energy that you can use to enhance your life.
We will not see all the eclipses. It depends on the moon’s position in the sky; however, whether it is an Annular or Total Eclipse, the effect on you will be exactly the same. Happy Eclipses everyone!

Light, Peace, Good Health, and Spirituality Shared for Twenty-five Years!
Inner Realm Magazine started publication in 1996 by Cheryl Arcodia, the Editor in Chief. Of course, it was a bold venture to start a spiritual magazine in the middle nineties as you never knew how the public will respond to it. So many other spiritual magazines tried to copy Inner Realm’s format, but they never quite received the results they had hoped for and that is why Inner Realm Magazine was a pioneer in sharing most modalities on an equal footing without prejudice or negative comments.
There are classified ads, articles, weekly columns, horoscopes, and a great deal of inspirational information in this well-respected magazine. Many contributors have had their viewpoints and holistic information printed and shared throughout the tri-state area. I’m sure many people have benefitted from all the extraordinary content that has been available in Inner Realm Magazine as well as online at InnerRealmMagazine.com. This magazine also encouraged artists to send in their artwork for monthly covers. I was lucky enough to get two or three of the covers which was certainly a proud moment for me. Cheryl shared her remarkable words of wisdom in her monthly column from the Editor. She was relentless in making the public feel loved, wanted, inspired and hopeful.
I hope you join me in wishing Cheryl well on her wonderful new adventure called retirement. She will be truly missed and I know many loyal subscribers, writers, columnists, business owners, et. al., will also miss this essential magazine her and this essential magazine.

Venus from the 19th, Uranus all month.
Sun goes into Capricorn on December 22.
ARIES – March 21 – April 19
Socializing with family and friends will lighten your mood. It is the holiday season, so do your shopping, or gift wrapping (if you’ve already purchased what you need) and start writing your Christmas cards. You may feel a bit overwhelmed as the season gets closer to the end of the month and New Year’s; however, you’ve got it covered. Even though you may have many irons in the fire and unfinished projects, you know exactly what you need to do to make it an enjoyable holiday for everyone. Be sure that other responsibilities are taken care of beforehand so that you will be free to enjoy a carefree holiday.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
This is the perfect time to re-examine your goals and dreams. You seem very independent now and your career or “how” you make money (home-based business, stocks, real estate, bonds, etc.) will be sprinkled with your independent spirit and know-how. Change in many areas of life is good for your brain to be stimulated and motivated, but don’t go too far. You do need some stability and consistency. It seems things will go well and then momentarily reverse. This is short-lived. However, if you just keep going after your dreams and goals, all will work out well for you and your family during the holidays. If there are some hard feelings between you and another, this is the perfect time for reconciliation.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
You are still thinking of many different directions or adventures you could pursue, but are not ready to make a definite plan to attain them. Thinking is good for you as it demonstrates all the different perspectives of all the issues around you. However, it would be nice for you to get back into some of your stress-relieving arts and crafts. If esoterica or spirituality seems interesting, continue to study it or if you have no experience with it, watch videos on Youtube until you can attend group classes. If money is tight this Christmas, make gifts or give coupons for special things like watching the kids while you go out on date night, washing a car, helping with housework or children’s homework, baking or gardening, etc. Many times, these types of gifts are more appreciated than a gift that won’t be used.
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Your gentle nature is revealed more than usual during this holiday month. Try not to be so sensitive as you may perceive things that are not meant to offend you; maybe it’s just how family or friends feel at this time and are finally able to express themselves. You are very creative and innovative now so the holidays will be extraordinary which will bring so much joy to others. You go crazy with decorations and the holiday feasts; you are a good cook and enjoy entertaining, so no one expects anything less. Happiness flows to you, your family, and your friends. This makes you extremely content and very cheerful so you fit right into the holidays perfectly.
LEO – July 23 – August 22
Relationships with family, neighbors, and friends will bring you many cheerful hours. You think of the way things used to be and how they are now with your family and friends at holiday time and it just doesn’t seem the same. You want everyone to have a wonderful holiday, but you are the one who will have to pay all of the bills in January. Creative energy helps you with decorating the tree and your home with breathtaking results. You know how to throw a party, so if that’s what you want to do, why not? It could be a wine and cheese party, or potluck. You can make it as cozy or fancy as you want. Everyone will enjoy themselves and talk about how great a time they had when they visited you and attended your party.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
Homelife and family are most important during this month. Perhaps some painting or refreshing the decor will make you feel as if you exactly have the home you want for the holidays. Everything is about your family but don’t go forgetting about yourself. Buying gifts and staying within budget will be in your best interest. Get a list of 3 things (or how many you want to write down) from your family and closest friends so you will be buying something that person truly wants. Be creative in your gift-giving or make sure to set limits so everyone feels comfortable with the amount to be spent on each other. Have a grab bag of a certain amount. This is always fun and it gives you more time to think about your gift selection and also know that you’ve done a job well done.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
You will be very active and flit around to this party and that. A good deal of this energy is being focused on your love life and children. Try to help your partner and child(ren) with their concerns or issues, but remember it’s their lives and they need to take responsibility for their choices or learn some karmic lessons on their own. It is also reminding you to have fun after some difficult health issues and times during the past year. Everything in life doesn’t have to be all-encompassing responsibilities. As they say, “Stop to smell the roses,” and enjoy the holidays. Thinking about all the changes you want to make during the new year are starting to make sense and will come to fruition if you write them down and are serious about your goals and future.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
Many changes are coming your way. Be prepared for them and handle each one as they present themselves to you. Perhaps the universe is bringing these opportunities/challenges to you because you have been procrastinating and have not fully formed your future. Sudden and unexpected surprises are right around the corner. You will have time to do those things that you never got around to and will try to make a plan to give yourself some “me” time. Long-distance travel is not recommended at this time, but if you must travel, be sure to double-check your plans, tickets, times, rides to the airport, bus or train station, etc. If you are prepared and cautious, you will have a most satisfying time with family and friends.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
Be sure that all health-related issues are taken care of before the holidays. December is looking good for you, but you be moderate in all that you do. Don’t go overboard as you usually do. Outside of the holiday dinners and get-togethers, it’s time to get back on to that diet you always said you wanted to start and lose some weight and get on an exercise regimen. It is also a good time to travel, if you want to, and meet with family and friends. Have fun this month and enjoy the holidays and everything that goes with it. Short-distance travel is always on the table. You will have so many enjoyable moments if you just relax and join in on the festivities.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
You feel as you can do anything now. You are confident, strong, and positive. Be sure to make those feelings last throughout the month. Partnerships may be strained if you let things get out of hand. Emotions may be a bit sensitive and you react to others who seem to be attacking you on many levels. Just let negative things float into the ether and away from you and your holiday plans. Deal with issues one at a time before your holidays are ruined, be sure people that you understand what is being said to you. Although you should not jump to conclusions. Life seems demanding but you will be able to live up to the expectations.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Family and fun go together. Your children and grandchildren will be the center of your attention. Deciding what they need for the holidays is a gigantic task, but you are ready for the challenge. You’ve been buying a little here and there so you have most of their gifts away and possibly wrapped already. Much good luck comes your way as well as overabundant optimism, joy, fun, and happiness. You are going in the right direction; however, you will make an important decision about your job within the next few months. It could be retirement or a change of job/career. Do whatever feels right to you and plan on making that decision stick. You know when you need a change.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
You are imaginative and creative, so using these qualities would be well served in writing songs, novels, designing art or fashion. Catching up on reading or special projects is also recommended. Be sure to stay in the real world and not escape to your fantasy life. Yes, it’s fun, but family and friends need you to show them how much they mean to you. Perhaps you don’t say it enough, but it would mean the world to them. Many love to be with you, but you are not readily available during the next few months. Maybe that would be a worthwhile goal for the New Year. If the blues get you down, know that you can resist those feelings easily and get back into the swing of things before you know it. Don’t let others ruin your good mood.

Without going back to the history of the first Thanksgiving held by the Pilgrims and Native Americans, it wasn’t until 1817 that New York became one of the first states to officially adopt Thanksgiving as an annual holiday. Many other states followed suit but all celebrated on different days.
President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, supposedly as a response to a campaign organized by magazine editor Sara Joseph Hale. In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving Day forward one week, as it is presently celebrated.
On November 10, 1947, President Harry Truman received a live turkey from the National Turkey Federation in what has become an annual White House Thanksgiving tradition. The White House Presentation signals the beginning of the holiday season of national thanks, historically representing agriculture’s bountiful harvest. The presentation also highlights the contributions of America’s turkey growers as well as the important role of agriculture in modern America.
Older than our nation itself is the custom of resting from our labors for one day at harvest time and of dedicating that day to gratitude to the Almighty God for the many blessings which He has heaped upon us. Now, as the cycle of the year nears completion, it is fitting that we should lift up our hearts again in special prayers.

ARIES – March 21 – April 19
This seems like a really fun, creative and positive time for you. Don’t run yourself ragged. Creativity, home DIY projects as well as helping children with their school projects can also keep you occupied. You see much potential in your home and you want to do many things by yourself. It’s sort of calming therapy for you where you can think clearly and not feel pressured. However, you will get much done and be so proud of your accomplishments. Don’t let things get out of hand around the holidays. Time to reflect, write, communicate your feelings with family and loved ones.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
Take life nice and easy. Read, go to work or telecommute, and catch up on TV shows. Any possible medical procedures you need or have been putting off should be taken care of as soon as possible so there are no complications in the future. Changes in the way you act and interact with those you love are possible. Your patience level is very low at this time. Try to go with the flow. Thinking also changes as you are interested in so many different areas now. Expand your mind; learn what you can. Home life improves and you feel as if you are going to have a wonderful month and Thanksgiving holiday. Many pleasant surprises seem to be in your future, so be prepared to graciously accept what others want to offer.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
Getting you out of the house is an issue. You want to visit friends and family, but you are involved in too many different projects to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps, join a small group in an area of interest and meet new friends. Life seems to be getting back on track, but with the holidays just around the corner, you may get overwhelmed again. Sit back, relax and do what you absolutely have to do for any particular day or situation. Love life may be a little difficult, mainly because other things have your attention. Finish those projects, get your house in order, and be sure to know what you really want out of life.
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Do not overlook any potential partners that may have loved you for some time but you didn’t notice. This is an outstanding time for discussion, compromise and seeing each other’s points of view. It is a time where you will turn into best friends and truly understand each other on a new spiritual level. Thoughts and long discussions will be shared in a most loving and thoughtful way. You are extremely sensitive now so be sure that you don’t take too many things personally as the other person probably didn’t even know you were offended or hurt by the comment. Prepare your lovely Thanksgiving feast, but give yourself time to get everything done on a schedule so you don’t get inundated with non-essential busy work.
LEO – July 23 – August 22
You are doing a fine job considering “the times we are living through.” Perhaps an interest in Zoom classes or attending seminars would help get you out of some disheartening days this month. Don’t let others bring you down. Thinking of continuing a career or starting a new home-based business sounds very reasonable and profitable. You want to be in a relationship, but you also want the flexibility to do whatever you want to do when you want to do it. Or you may also find challenges in a current relationship, something you have to figure out on your own. You have great confidence in yourself, but you may seek another’s approval.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
You need to loosen up a little and have some fun. Emotions are thwarted now, so try not to be sarcastic or harsh with anyone, especially at work, or it may come back to haunt you. During the start of the holiday season, be sure that you have taken care of mundane tasks so they you won’t be thinking about them. Update important papers such as wills, insurance policies, living wills, etc. Try to stray out of your “safety zone” and explore what else is out there for you. Then you will be ready to enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends no matter where the holiday conversations take you. You will be ready to be witty and funny and have an extraordinary time.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Friends are important now so be sure to keep the lines of communication open between them. You may also be thinking of taking care of paperwork and getting boring chores done and behind you before the festivities start at the end of the month. Organize a list of what you want to get done and then follow the list. This is such a lucky time for you, so it would be advantageous to get everything you wanted done finished, so you will have time for fun. If you have invited family and friends to your house for Thanksgiving, prepare the list of chores and food shopping ahead of time and do it over several days’ time so you will not have to rushed and feel exhausted.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
You may feel insecure about many things, but sadness, depression, or insecurity keeps you at home or on the computer, phone or iPad. Go out and explore, even if it’s on your own. Thinking negatively is not going to bring you any opportunities or positive choices. You need positive energy around you, so try to lighten up. Travel plans seem to be in your future, or at the very least you are trying to convince yourself whether or not you can afford to take a trip during this holiday season. You are strong and determined; those attributes will help you make important decisions on the job especially when giving out new projects. You know employees’ minds are on the holidays and not particularly concentrating on new projects and budgets.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
This is a great time to find out what it is you’ve missed this past year and a half and try to do it. Travel is fun, even if it’s a weekend getaway. It does seem as if you are trying to save a bit of money; however, you’re secure. Don’t be extravagant, but be sure to see family and friends. It will bring joy to them and to yourself! Work is going well although there is a lot of hard work ahead of you, but you can certainly handle it well. You may be your own worst enemy at this time. Do what you can and let other things go. Self-confidence issues may arise. It’s not you, but the overwhelming issues that are swarming around you. Handle one issue at time and you’ll be fine.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
You seem to be getting organized and ready to rejoin humanity. Writing, short distance travel, computers and family can give you hours of fun and creativity. Even if unexpected things happen, they will be for the best. You find it hard to be spontaneous so the universe seems to need to give you a push on to a new path. You have to figure out what is the most important issue and do something positive to resolve it. Many thoughts are leaning towards secrets and keeping things to yourself. There is little time to read; however, you may be able to get few audio books to play in the car. Have the holiday you want and don’t give into the pressure of doing something that was not your vision of the perfect holiday.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Work may be causing you too much stress, so you should take a few personal or vacation days and relax. Things don’t seem to be going on the right track and you are helping others with their issues rather than facing your own. You may feel a bit overcome or depressed as the holidays progress, so get out of that frame of mind now so you can be happy and ready to share the fun season with your family and friends. You are making more decisions about yourself and what you want to do now. Getting your home ready for the holidays is a big task, and you make it a magical place every year for the family. Life will flow nicely and you will accomplish all you wish.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
Home life has been busy, but it is calming down. You feel that something in your home has to change. Be creative, innovative, inventive, and original so that you will change your outlook to a positive one. You could be redecorating the house, getting new furniture, new rugs or maybe even a new computer. You will be ahead of the game by doing everything now so that when the holidays roll around, you will be finished with your goals. Be careful about overspending during the holidays. You have enough saved to do the shopping you want; however, be sure you stay within your budget. The size or amount of the gift doesn’t really matter. You’ve heard it a million times, but it is the thought that counts.

You may feel insecure about many things, but sadness, depression, or insecurity keeps you at home or on the computer, phone or iPad. Go out and explore, even if it’s on your own. Thinking negatively is not going to bring you any opportunities or positive choices. You need positive energy around you, so try to lighten up. Travel plans seem to be in your future, or at the very least you are trying to convince yourself whether or not you can afford to take a trip during this holiday season. You are strong and determined; those attributes will help you make important decisions on the job especially when giving out new projects. You know employees’ minds are on the holidays and not particularly concentrating on new projects and budgets.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
This is a great time to find out what it is you’ve missed this past year and a half and try to do it. Travel is fun, even if it’s a weekend getaway. It does seem as if you are trying to save a bit of money; however, you’re secure. Don’t be extravagant, but be sure to see family and friends. It will bring joy to them and to yourself! Work is going well although there is a lot of hard work ahead of you, but you can certainly handle it well. You may be your own worst enemy at this time. Do what you can and let other things go. Self-confidence issues may arise. It’s not you, but the overwhelming issues that are swarming around you. Handle one issue at time and you’ll be fine.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
You seem to be getting organized and ready to rejoin humanity. Writing, short distance travel, computers and family can give you hours of fun and creativity. Even if unexpected things happen, they will be for the best. You find it hard to be spontaneous so the universe seems to need to give you a push on to a new path. You have to figure out what is the most important issue and do something positive to resolve it. Many thoughts are leaning towards secrets and keeping things to yourself. There is little time to read; however, you may be able to get few audio books to play in the car. Have the holiday you want and don’t give into the pressure of doing something that was not your vision of the perfect holiday.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Work may be causing you too much stress, so you should take a few personal or vacation days and relax. Things don’t seem to be going on the right track and you are helping others with their issues rather than facing your own. You may feel a bit overcome or depressed as the holidays progress, so get out of that frame of mind now so you can be happy and ready to share the fun season with your family and friends. You are making more decisions about yourself and what you want to do now. Getting your home ready for the holidays is a big task, and you make it a magical place every year for the family. Life will flow nicely and you will accomplish all you wish.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
Home life has been busy, but it is calming down. You feel that something in your home has to change. Be creative, innovative, inventive, and original so that you will change your outlook to a positive one. You could be redecorating the house, getting new furniture, new rugs or maybe even a new computer. You will be ahead of the game by doing everything now so that when the holidays roll around, you will be finished with your goals. Be careful about overspending during the holidays. You have enough saved to do the shopping you want; however, be sure you stay within your budget. The size or amount of the gift doesn’t really matter. You’ve heard it a million times, but it is the thought that counts.

Important Dates: October 11, Columbus Day; the 30th, All Hallow’s Eve; and the 31st, Halloween and Samhain.
Halloween and Samhain
Samhain is a pagan religious festival originating from an ancient Celtic spiritual tradition. In modern times, Samhain(a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”) is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in “the dark half of the year.”
Samhain celebrates the thinning of the veil between our world and the dead. Similar to Día de los Muertos, Samhain is a time to remember those who have passed. Traditionally, those who celebrate Samhain welcome those spirits that are crossing into our world, as well as sending off lost souls into peace.
There are no set ritual guidelines for Samhain, but many celebrations have these elements in common.Just like Christmas or Hanukkah, every family or group celebrates the Samhain a different way. You can’t find people to agree that gifts should be opened on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning — it’s the same with magical holidays, too!
Halloween is a celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31st. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into scary faces to keep evil spirits at bey. Almost all of these holidays reference the afterlife, and it’s significant that so many traditions picked this day to celebrate, independent of one another. In other words, there is a lot of magical energy flowing on this day.

ARIES – March 21 – April 19
Taking care of your home is a must. You want to change so much. What a fabulous month for changing your approach to issues, concerns and projects. You want to get life going in the right direction and you do whatever you can to get the show on the road. There will be so many opportunities available to you now to change your life journey, if you want to. Taking a big step may be frightening, but if your heart is into it, do what you must do to get positive options in to your life. This is a great opportunity for you to update your look and do something you’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t have the courage to do it in the past. Also, love may come into your life, and if you are already married, then a resurgence of romance should be exciting.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
Relationship changes are coming. You seem to be asserting your independence in all types of relationships and careers even though you are super-sensitive at this time; don’t let misunderstandings tear apart good relationships with friends, family or a partner. And, don’t take things personally! You may feel like this is a good time to be more independent and to take on challenges yourself. You can always do what you want to do, but do include your significant other in some of your activities so you will both stay connected on all levels. Don’t get into trivial disagreements and be sure to keep your loved ones first in your life.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
Good luck is moving you in the right direction. Be extremely careful about the items you throw away now as you may need them in the future. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t de-clutter your space, home, apartment, etc., but I think knowing what you will be able to use in the near future will save you a few dollars. Don’t spend money on non-essentials. You may be thinking about balancing the extreme parts of your personality and others will see an improvement when dealing with you. Try to keep everything positive and work out logical decisions regarding issues in your life. If possible, listen more and be sure to always keep your word to others.
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Partnerships are moving forward; however, you may be very confused at this time and may make illogical decisions. You may be irritated and frustrated by things you weren’t able to complete and you could feel as if you haven’t accomplished what you had planned. However, to take your mind off of this, it would be a fantastic time to be a loving parent or mentor to someone who needs to get back on course. Your children or some young children really need your attention, direction and counsel. Give it freely. This is a time for further formal education, lectures, seminars, workshops, or training (for your job or new interest) or any kind of modality to give you the information you desire.
LEO – July 23 – August 22
This is a good time to get all of your important papers in order. Your reputation and career team up as if they were one. You will do very well in your career and may even get a surprise boost in pay. Be sure that you are fair in all dealings and a moral reputation will follow. Others will see that you are an honest person and you will gain their trust in many situations that you hadn’t thought about in the past. You may wish to spend a little more time at home and do whatever it is you want to do in your home regarding clearing the space, redecorating, painting or buying new furniture. Once the new energy comes into your home, it will give you much peace of mind and ambition to tackle anything you’ve been procrastinating on.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
Travel and higher education (or perhaps training in some area to gain expertise) seems very important for you. Be open to new relationships so that you can experience many new adventures on your journey in life. This would also be a good time to solidify your hopes and dreams. Take definite steps to reach your goals. They aren’t going to come to you on a silver platter. Even though you may have a few differences, you are smart enough to know that everyone can’t believe in the same things that you do or else it will be a boring world. This is a time where you should get your dreams and abilities in sync with each other so that you can accomplish many dreams that you have put on the back burner.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Your refinement and personality are in a class beyond compare. You like to be well-dressed and appreciate others who take pride in their appearance. You are a genuine caring person who wants to help everyone; be careful not to spend all of your energy on others that you are overwhelmed when you have to take care of your home, career, projects or chores. You are equality minded and love to discuss important issues from a spiritual or philosophical point of view. Joining a few classes would be a good diversion and you will learn more about a subject you have an interest in. Going to foreign lands (within our Covid restrictions) or just take a small vacation near your town, you will certainly learn a lot from others.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22 Be passionate about your life now and include all your friends and family in your plans. It will be nice to get together with those you love. Don’t worry about the small adverse instances around you since negativity attracts more negativity. Be thankful for your blessings and more of them will be attracted to you. Your personal appearance is very important to you as well as the respect of others. If you can be a little more flexible in your thinking, you will avoid arguments and confrontations. Dealing with women this month will make you feel fulfilled and happy. Any type of volunteer work would be a welcomed change. You want to help others, but also want your privacy, so again, balance in all things is desired.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
You will have many serious topics to think about like where is your life leading you and how you want to live the remainder of your life. It seems you will be racing around doing a lot of travel, or having a great time with outdoor activities. Even though you are getting back into the swing of things for the beginning of Autumn, you still have many projects that must be completed before starting new ones. You are very open-minded, lucky and optimistic so your exuberance for life will flow onto others. Your excitement will be contagious. Be sure that your family is well taken care of. Short trips or weekend getaways would also be a nice interlude from the work week where you could all relax and enjoy each other’s company. A very good time to be with family, siblings and close friends.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
Things start to calm down making you feel a bit more relaxed about your issues and concerns. You may have some organizational issues and may not be on not on top of projects. You may have a few issues in taking charge of a project or organization because you don’t want to accept the responsibilities of more than you already have on your plate. You have the potential to be in charge, if you want to, and take care of many issues whether they are someone else’s or yours. You may feel like you are on a roller coaster at times as things change quickly that you almost seem as if you can’t get a handle on them, but you do. You are quite serious this month and may expect that there will be an issue or two which will pull the rug out from under you.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Home life and getting your home into shape for the upcoming holidays may be on your mind. At the very least, painting, updating a room’s look or redecorating seems interesting. Aquarians may not exactly know what they are looking for but they do know they need to be financially stable, secure and balanced. You take a lot of pride in your home and this is a time where you can shine. Even small decorative changes and varied accents show your sense of style as well as modernizing your home’s appearance. This may also be a time when you shouldn’t venture out too much. You have too many things to do, so it keeps you nearby. It seems you are always taking care of family and friends but don’t have extra time to care for yourself.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
Your imagination and creativity are at its peak now so invent or finish something that is important to you. This is a time to participate in the arts, such as music, drawing, painting or singing. There is a lot of thought about occultism, theories, philosophies and dreams. You have too many thoughts and couldn’t possibly handle all of those projects so just follow-up on the ones you think you would like, can handle and want to come true. Be aware that this is a time where drugs and alcohol may be an issue; if not you, those close to you may abuse these addictions.

Important Dates: September5th, Teachers’ Day; 6th, Labor Day; 11th, Patriot Day; September 15-October 15, National Hispanic Heritage Month; 16th World Ozone Day and International Day for Preservation; 22nd, Rose Day (welfare of cancer patients); and the 29th, International Heart Day. Look up a particular month’s list of holidays on line. I just picked out a few of the choices. There are so many that I’m sure we never even heard of!
Spirit Energy in Trees
Trees have very special spirits and should be considered as intelligent energy fields and not just trees. Ancient myths spoke of Oak Tree spirits or entities that guarded the person living on the property. Being I had 48 red oaks on my property, and I felt very blessed and protected.
Plant trees on your property for good chi (or positive energy). Keep them pruned and healthy. Many nurseries can tell you which birds inhabit specific trees, so if you want to attract more wildlife into your yard or area, consult a professional. Otherwise, any tree can be a home to a host of birds who live in this part of the country or who are passing through on their way to migratory destinations. Birds always bring positive energy to your home, so feed them frequently and keep clean water in a bird bath that they can use each day. The fluttering of their wings moves the stagnant negative energy that may be on your property. Also, remember chimes or windsocks are a good remedy to promote healthy chi as well.
Live plants, flowers and trees are fundamental to good Feng Shui. The prettier the plant or flower, the nicer the energy that flows towards your home and family. Be mindful of the flower colors you chose for each area of your yard. Following the bagua’s suggestion of color is always helpful and preferred. If this is impossible to do, especially with varied bulbs, put them in a bucket and mix them up and plant them all over the yard. In this way, your yard will be protected by all the colors of the bagua. In this way, you have many colors in all areas in your yard. There are many good sales for greenery at this time of the year; perhaps you should look at what is available.
Be mindful that trees or high bushes should not be in a direct line with your front door as it keeps opportunities and prospects from ever reaching your home. And, the more color you place around the yard, the more in tune you will be with Feng Shui and Mother Nature. Don’t forget the bird bath in line with your front door. In Feng Shui, water is money. Every time you open the front door, the financial “intention” is activated. Always a welcomed visitor to our homes.

Retrograde Planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto all month; Uranus goes Rx on the 20th. (With all of these planets in retrograde, life will seem challenging, so you must be very determined not to let these planets force you into being depressed, angry, irritated, rundown, disheartened, dejected, unhappy or a myriad of other negative feelings. We can only control how we react to situations. So, try to look at the positive side of life as many these Rxs will be with us until February, 2022.)
Sun goes into Virgo on August 23.
ARIES – March 21 – April 19
Dealing with romantic partner issues seems like an excellent way to clear the path for a positive future together. If you handle limitations, responsibilities and obligations will only be resolved IF you use your logic and intelligence. Your friends will back you up with any of your decisions. Be ready to be on the go as this seems to be a time where you are ready to leave the dreadful past year behind and are ready for new adventures and possibly a small getaway. You have carefully stayed away from those who could help you in so many ways, and it seems as they want to give you, their support. Take it.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
You are doing what you can to make financial situations in these areas as positive as possible; worrying won’t change anything. There seems to be so many unexpected expenditures in the near future that it would seem wise to hold off on unnecessary spending. Save, put money away for a rainy day and figure out your next move. Arguments, disagreements and difficult decisions make you a bit angry and confused with your romantic partner. Friends and family would love to help, but you seem to be too secretive now and are not sharing your feelings and you don’t trust too many people with your emotions. Chose someone to confide in so that you will be sharing your burdens or at least get another perspective to your issues.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
Training and formal education is highlighted including metaphysical subjects or any area of interest. You need to organize the rest of the year and figure out in which direction to go. Expanding your business and networking is always a good idea. (As one teacher used to say, “Is your net working?”) There seems to be a contradiction of purpose which forces you to swing back and forth from the work you are trying to pursue to help with your personal growth; you are not exactly sure how to balance these energies. Yes, we all get tired, but if you schedule room in your busy life for the theater, movies, dinners, lectures, or special events, etc., you will be able to decide things with a clearer mind and goals that are very attainable.
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Time to make good choices. You will then see how fast you progress on the right path of prosperity and opportunities. You attract many special people into your life which may be long term relationships of both friends and partners. You seem to have things under control now and are planning your future with optimism and hopefulness. You are being blessed to expand and grow in many positive directions in life, business and family. Even though you may have to tackle things that seem unorthodox or unconventional, be persistent and get through the tasks without hesitation.
LEO – July 23 – August 22
There is so much positive energy around you to help you get out, explore, move on, have fun and be in the moment, especially if there are activities that you wish to participate in. You have so much to accomplish, but may be planning to do it all later since the nice weather is upon us. Do one or two things daily to get ahead of your responsibilities faster and you will see how much you have accomplished by the end of the week. You may be thinking in an exceptionally creative way and may also be bringing that energy in to your romantic life, so just enjoy.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
Many decisions need to be made, so think about them carefully before deciding those important decisions. Don’t make snap decisions, but once you’ve decided on a course of action, stay with your plan. Friends are important now, so make sure you know who your true friends are. Weeding out those who exhaust you would be in your best interest. One of the lessons you should learn now is that friends will give you reciprocal energy and help you whenever you need assistance rather than always taking from you. You will be setting up more boundaries and limitations from being taken advantage of from others. Bravo.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Thinking in a chaotic way will not get you the results you want or need, so use your intelligence and logic to deal with those who play on your emotions or want you to do things to please others. Be strong and stand up for yourself. Being decisive will be extremely important. Even though you do not have an easy time making decisions, it is imperative that you stop procrastinating and make important decisions about your life and those close to you. Be assertive, take risks and move forward. Much activity seems to push you into many directions that you never thought possible. Pick a direction and stay the course.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
There seems to be more money coming in to your future; however, you may have to decide what to do with it, whom to repay, or how to invest it to make it grow properly. Finances may be strained or you are saving for an object or project that is very important to you. Nevertheless, you should budget your money carefully and only spend what you deem appropriate for the things you want. Being very determined and persistent will help you get what you want, but you really have to be serious about your wishes. Responsibilities seem to play an important role with close friends and family members.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
You have so many good intentions and plans that may be thwarted on some level. You seem to have so many responsibilities and obligations, but once you handle these situations, you will have more time to concentrate on your leisure time activities and fun. Major changes seem to be on the horizon for you in your personal, partnership and career areas, all pivotal areas of life. It would be extremely important to mend fences or let things go and move on. Some areas of change may be your job, moving from your home to a new location, and perhaps finding new partners if that’s what you want.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
Home and business life needs more balance. Your job and its problems should be kept at the workplace so when you come home, you can spend more time with your family or romantic partner. They will appreciate your effort and try to be more understanding when you once again become the workaholic they are so used to having in their lives. Home life and family can be challenging and there is just so much going on that it makes you a bit confused about your next steps. Getting ahead is important to you, but if you delegate some of your work projects, you will find the time you need to make everyone happy.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Career choices and home life seem to be at odds again. You’ve taken on too many responsibilities and your health may suffer if you don’t get the relaxation needed. A bit more rest and relaxation will do wonders for your stamina and general overall health. Thinking in new creative ways help you have a flair for redecorating your home or landscaping your property. You want to surround yourself with peaceful and beautiful things and flowers seem to be the answer for now. You need to reconnect to spirit or get back to a place where you feel unstressed and comfortable with your life the way it is.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20 Love life can make you crazy if you let it, but if you use your intellect and common sense you will be able to handle anything that comes your way. Be very clear about your intent and let people know that you want to quickly resolve any unfinished business. Many changes seem to follow you around and you’re not quite sure what to do. Relationships do not seem to make any sense and you feel as if something has to change. Your actions and deeds do not reflect what you really feel inside your heart and you seem to struggle to understand what it is that you want out of life.

Talking to some energy tree experts, I discovered I was correct. When trees are removed from your property (forest, etc.), you should ask the tree spirit to leave all of its energy in the ground, thus on your property. I was unaware of this so never asked the tree to leave its spirit or essence behind and now it is lost; that seemed to be the energy fluctuation I had felt for almost a year until it was replaced by other flowers and trees I had subsequently planted.
Then a miracle happened. A few saplings started to sprout in the front yard, just little tiny 1″ sprouts, that had come from the mother tree. I had collected them for two years and placed them in a large planter; then they still surprised me by occasionally popped up on my property after all of this time. I am especially proud of the 2 stronger saplings which are now 1′ high each. I had transplanted them in the front yard and then worried if one of them was too close to my house, not only it’s physical presence but also from a Feng Shui point of view. I was assured by many that Japanese Maples take many, many years to grow and that most of my yard that I would be fossilized before I had to worry about this 1′ tree taking over the front lawn. I also planted it askew to the front door so it would allow energy to flow into the house every time I open the front door (apparently as it will for a very long time period until it grows!).
Normally, trees blocking the front entrance are not preferred and definitely is not good Feng Shui. One wants a flowing energy pattern that can enter the house without obstacles in the way, such as large trees or bushes in line with the front door.
I had also put two ads on Craigslist to remove some day lilies and yucca plants as I was clearing out those two gardens (one was going to be home to the smaller Japanese Maple Tree) and within a half of an hour of putting up the ad, I had people in my yard digging up the plants and carting them away on Memorial Day! That goes to show you that many people are looking to adorn their property with various forms of greenery but also that FREE is a great price. So, if you want to move some plants or trees from your property, or maybe acquire some, check out that site. It’s helped me a lot and it’s free or nominal to advertise.

ARIES – March 20 – April 19
Emotions are strong now and you seem so sensitive; however, everything is really not about you. No one is out to get you and just need to calm down and see the real issue in front of you. Your friends are there to back you up with any decision you make. But be sure to think things through carefully before making major decisions. Dealing with romantic partner issues seems like an excellent way to clear the path for a positive future together. Handling limitations, responsibilities and obligations work in your best interest since you are using your intelligence (and not emotions) to talk things through and compromise in many areas. Your friends will back you up with any decision you make. Be ready to be on the go as this seems to be a time where you are ready to leave the hum-drum past behind and are ready for new adventures and lots of fun. It would be nice to invite friends and family members to join you so you can get to know them better. You have carefully stayed away from those who could help you in so many ways, and it seems like time to accept their helpful hints and suggestions to get you back on the right track.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
Dealing with budget issues as well as your career may be somewhat confusing and stressful, so this would be a great time to relax. So much time has gone by without seeing loved ones, so get your Covid19 shot(s) so you can partake in any crowd-type activity. You are doing what you can to make the situations in these areas as positive as possible, but your worry keeps you rehashing old issues. You seem to be dealing with so many financial decisions. Should you spend or should you save? Should you move or stay where you are? Do you really want to take that risk? There seems to be so many unexpected expenditures in the near future that it would seem wise to hold off on unnecessary spending. Save, put money away for a rainy day and figure out your next move. Arguments, disagreements and difficult decisions make you a bit angry and confused over issues with your romantic partner. Friends and family would love to help, but you seem to be too secretive now and are not sharing your feelings easily as you don’t trust too many people in your life with your emotions. Getting others involved in your confusion will not help you make the much-needed decisions for the best of all involved. You need to talk to someone about your concerns, perhaps even a professional to get an unbiased look at your situation and options.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
This is a wonderful time to get more training or formal education. You can also study about new and interesting traditions and philosophies. Even though you have many projects to start and complete, it does seem to be a wonderful time to take a few classes to expand your expertise in an area of interest and learn all that you can. Travel is indicated if you are willing and financially able; if not, you can have smaller day trips to local parks or events that are free or very reasonable. The point is you must get out amongst people again. You may have gotten a bit too comfortable in your own company. You need to organize the rest of the year and figure out in which direction you should go. Expanding your business is always a good idea especially since Covid work issues, there seems to be a contradiction of purpose which forces you to swing back and forth from the work you are trying to pursue to your personal growth; you are not exactly sure how to balance these energies. My advice is to give “your all” at work and in your personal life. Yes, we do get tired, but if you schedule theater, movies, dinners, lectures, or special event, etc., to fit into your busy life with your closest friends and family, (or a specific date night with your romantic partner), you will start to mellow out and things will become much easier for you to handle. You will look forward to this relaxing time. Be a little more tolerant of your significant other or business partners. You seem to be uptight or annoyed about many things and you wouldn’t want to take out your frustration on those closest to you.
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Many new opportunities will be given to you so if you know what you want, it will be easier to grab the opportunity once it is presented to you. Also, changes are coming your way and you should be prepared to make many good choices. See whichever opportunities make the most common sense and check them out. As long as they seem appropriate, take them as you will be surprised at how fast you will be on the right road to a prosperous future while attracting more new energy and opportunities. Your personal magnetism attracts many special people into your life which may be long term relationships of both friends and partners. Relationships improve, however, be careful not to spend too much time at work and spend quality time with those important to you. You seem to have things under control now and are planning your future with optimism and hopefulness. Your finances seem to continue to be prosperous as you may get involved in other business ventures (including part time or a home-based business) and you seem to be on the right track. Everything you touch now turns to gold, so go for it! You are being blessed to expand and grow in many positive directions. Even though you may start to tackle things that seem unorthodox or unconventional, be persistent and get through the tasks without hesitation. Procrastination will make things worse!
LEO – July 23 – August 22
Time to rise and shine. You have so much to accomplish, but may be planning to do it all later since the nice weather is upon us. Do one or two things daily so at the end of the week or month, you can see that you have accomplished much and will not feel guilty about taking off a day or two to relax and have fun. You may be thinking in an exceptionally creative or innovative mode now and may be bringing that energy to your romantic life, so just enjoy. There is so much positive energy around you to help you get out, explore, move on, have fun and be in the moment, especially if there are summer time activities around you that you wish to participate in. Don’t over think things now as everything will work out for the best in a very short period of time. Long distance travel seems favored, so why not take a long-needed vacation. Even though there may be some delays or paper related mix-ups, it does seem to bring you the fun and relaxation you need. It is important for you to get out of the house to have fun with your friends and to mingle with those who are in your business, charities and peer associations or groups. You have much energy around you, but you seem to need a cosmic kick in the pants to get moving in the right direction.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
Friends are important now, so make sure you know who your true friends are. One of the lessons you should learn now is that friends will give you reciprocal energy and help you whenever you need assistance rather than you always be the one to help others. Weeding out those who exhaust you would be in your best interest. Many decisions need to be made, so think about them carefully before making those important decisions. Don’t make snap decisions, but once you’ve decided on a course of action, stay with your plan. Changes in work also seem to be imminent. Have you decided which road or path you will take? This seems like a good time to talk things over at work and home with those important to you so that you are clearly understood. Your messages just do not seem to be getting through properly. Money may be of concern now, however, you seem to be blessed and will be able to do well once you set your mind on your goals and objectives. You seem very sensitive and are confused about your romantic relationship. You may want to try to have a meaningful communication with your romantic significant to deal with issues you may have. Home life may seem somewhat unstable, so do whatever you can to make it secure again. If changes are inevitable, at least you can calmly discuss them and decide what is in both of your best interest before reacting to circumstances around you without a plan.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Your decisiveness will be challenged. Even though you do not have an easy time making decisions, it is imperative that you stop procrastinating and make important decisions about your life and those close to you. Be assertive, take the risk and move forward. Staying in a procrastination energy field will only attract more negativity and make you feel as if you don’t have any options left. Much activity seems to push you into many directions that you never thought possible. If you truly do not want to help others at this time, why are you doing it? This seems to be a good time for you to take care of yourself, your family and your desires and not think about anyone else who wants you to change. Be wary of deception in a relationship and make sure you can verify whatever he or she is telling you, so that you won’t be hurt in the future. You are just too trusting of everyone, but you must remember that not everyone is as honest and truthful as you, so you would be best not to take everyone at their word without question. Foreign travel, higher education or lectures and classes seem to help you grow in so many ways. You are a sponge for information now so should use the energy around you to make the most of it. Thinking in a confused, depressed or anxious manner will not get you the results you want or need, so use your intelligence and logic to deal with those who play on your emotions or want you to do things his or her way. Be strong and stand up for yourself.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
Finances may be strained or you are saving for an object or project that is very important to you. Nevertheless, you should budget your money carefully and only spend what you deem appropriate for the things you want. Being very determined and persistent will help you get what you want, but you really have to be serious about your wishes. So many issues seem to be coming up around your financial security and it may seem overwhelming. There seems to be more money coming in to your future; however, you may have to decide what to do with it, whom to repay, or how to invest it to make it grow properly. This is a time to chill as you have been handling much too many responsibilities lately and would just like everyone to leave you alone; however, that is not going to happen. Why not go to a movie or sporting event with your significant other or close friend? Make time for yourself as this will be the only thing that will help you attain your optimistic attitude once again. Responsibilities seem to play an important role with close friends and family members. Talk things over, discuss alternatives and then make your decisions about your next step. Your helping attitude is a wonderful gift to others, but now it would be good for you to give the gift of fun, relaxation, and happiness to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
Family issues keep you in a constant state of flux. You have so many good intentions and plans that may be thwarted on some level. You seem to have to take care of many responsibilities and obligations, but once you handle these situations now, you will have more time to concentrate on your leisure time activities and fun. Major changes seem to be on the horizon for you in your personal, business, partnership and career areas, all pivotal areas of life. It would be extremely important to mend fences or let things go and move on; finally, do whatever it is you feel you’ve always wanted to do. This is risky; however, it seems as if you want a total change of your surroundings and people in your life. Some areas of change could be your job, moving from your comfortable home to a new location, seeking new partners (or if not married, finally find a marriage partner) and changing your appearance in some fashion. Friends will help you through the rough spots and be available to chat with you about your concerns; they are ready to help you, so allow them to assist you as you have helped them so many times in the past. This would be a great time to use your tactfulness as you may be tempted to say exactly what you mean and then you’ll be in trouble, AGAIN.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
Home life and family can be challenging and there is just so much going on that it makes you a bit confused about your next steps. Should you let others handle their issues or should you get involved? That’s a good question. Does it make sense for you to try to handle more responsibilities or do you feel that others should take the responsibility for their action? Home and business life needs more balance. Work should be kept at the office (or wherever you are employed) and when you come home, that time belongs to your significant other and family. More quality time seems necessary with those you love. They will appreciate your effort and try to be more understanding when you once again become the workaholic they are so used to having in their lives. Getting ahead is important to you, but if you delegate some of your work, you will find the time you need to make everyone happy. Don’t be too tight with your money as you will have it when you need it and you may deprive someone close to you of a simple pleasure that a small amount of money could bring them. Have fun and lighten up! I know you have tons of hard work ahead of you, but if you bring more balance in to your home life and career, things seem to go in a much stronger direction.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
Career choices and home life seem to be at odds again. You have too much to do in both areas of life and your health seems to be suffering. A bit more rest and relaxation will do wonders for your stamina and general overall health. Thinking in new creative ways help you have a flair for redecorating your home or landscaping your property. You want to surround yourself with peaceful and beautiful things and flowers seem to be the answer for now. Why not try a small water fountain in your home, or if you can afford it, in your yard where you can relax and/or meditate to the peaceful sounds of the running water? You need to reconnect to spirit or get back to a place where you feel unstressed and comfortable with your life the way it is. Romantic complications or confusion still worry you. You are trying to find a happy medium between balancing your life with work and family. You also seem to want to do things on your own; however, there just isn’t enough time. Make time for yourself. Your energy level is drained and you seem to be handling all of the worries, doubts, fears and concerns of not only yourself, but of everyone else who can grab a minute of your time. You need some down time away from everyone else’s problems; you need time to unwind and take care of your own life and the issues that are on your mind.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
Love life can make you crazy if you let it, but if you use your intellect and common sense you will be able to handle anything that comes your way. Be very clear about your intent and let people know that you want to resolve any unfinished business quickly. Many changes seem to follow you around and you’re not quite sure what to do. Relationships do not seem to make any sense and you feel as if something has to change. Your actions and deeds do not reflect what you really feel inside your heart and you seem to struggle to understand what it is that you want out of life. It’s fun to be with family and friends at times, but you must try to figure out what would make you really happy. Finances seem to be one area of life that will be improving so keep saving for that special purchase as your money grows. A change in career or direction seems likely as if work is not what it used to be. Don’t make rash decisions as if you do not weigh the consequences of your decisions, you may be disappointed in the results. Emotions seem fragile at this time, so try to deal with issues on a more analytical level so that you won’t be easily hurt.

Being spring is upon us, I thought I’d share some information about elemental fairies. The elements are broken down into fire, earth, air, and water which sums up what their responsibilities would be. Sometimes ether is also used as an element, but being ether is from which all elements come, we usually do not use it.
Fire Fairies correlate to Aries, Leo, and Sag in the zodiac and their elemental name is “salamander.” Their subdivision is a very short one. It consists of the salamander and the flame spirits. Those two subdivisions of fire take care of all the needs of this elemental. Fire Fairies can make and controls fire or make a fire burn out of control, depending upon the circumstance.
Earth Fairies correlate to Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn in the zodiac and refer to the ever-popular “gnome.” The earth subdivision is a little more complex. It indicates two major subdivisions of the surface fairies and the underground fairies. The surface fairies consist of tree, wood, and garden fairies. The underground fairies consist of the rock spirits or gnomes. Earth Fairies are usually mischievous and like to hide things, but eventually, will return them if you ask nicely. They also protect the all the foliage, plants and all trees on our planet.
Air Fairies correlate to Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius in the zodiac and have the “sylph” as its representative. Air fairies are broken into two categories. One is the sylph and the other subdivision is the nature spirits which include the cloud, storm, and dragon spirits. Air Fairies control the different air currents related to wind, storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., but also the nice warm breezes of summer.
Water Fairies correlate to Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces in the zodiac and are called “undines.” This group is subdivided into salt and fresh water. The freshwater spirits are called undines. The saltwater consists of water babies, sea sprites, and storm fairies. Water Fairies control the water flow of rivers and oceans and help heal the water bodies as much as possible in light of world pollution. They even turn the water into ice and snow in the winter and then can turn the dew to frost.
Fairies come in many shapes, colors, and sizes, but frequently take on a human form because they know that’s what we expect to see. If you suppose they would look like an animal, they will. If you believe they will look very ethereal and spirit like, your wish is their command. Their intent is to make you comfortable with their form – their intentions are usually honorable and caring.

ARIES – March 21 – April 19
Even though we have Covid19 restrictions, you seem to have a lot going on for you. This is a good time to take on line courses, read, learn a new language or study philosophy, esoterica or religion. This time at home or in limited contact with work is a time you can shine. Figure out what you really want to do and then do it! A home project, a personal task or perhaps you want to do something special with or for your family and/or partner. You can learn how to cook new and exciting (and healthy) meals, even though cooking can be over-rated! You want to show the world you can do so much if given the chance. Feeling as if there is so much more to try in this life gives you the impetuous to ideas that you may want to put on your Bucket List. Be satisfied for now and get all the things done in the house, garage, basement or attic that you haven’t had time for in the past. Yes, they aren’t wonderful jobs, but they will be done with so that you can enjoy the upcoming lovely weather.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
You should be thinking about work or home projects while you have the time. Do whatever you can to meet your goals, aspirations and dreams. Maybe putting together a photo album, or cleaning out a clothes closet or bureau so that you could give away unwearable clothes and accessories to a local church or charity. Wouldn’t that be a smart move? You can even get a tax donation slip for your trouble. You’ll have less to do with spring cleaning because you would have taken care of some of your housework. Wouldn’t that be a smart move and less for you to do when we are allowed out of our pandemic restrictions. You seem to be taking the warnings very seriously and are not taking any chances with your family’s health or yours for that matter. You wish the world would just follow the rules so we can get on with our lives.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
You just don’t stay still for anything, do you? Many projects are in the making and it would be wonderful if you’ve finished some of them. You may also be learning new skills from Youtube in art, language, fashion or makeup. Calling friends, planning things for when we are not hostages in our homes any longer, and catching up on your favorite TV series, or finding new ones seems to be a never-ending task. However, you will go through a few days of being lazy, or feeling like nothing matters so you can just watch TV or read that book. I’m sure staying in your PJs isn’t new, but you may wish to see what you look like with makeup, jeans and a smart top. Get some sunlight and fresh air; everyone needs a break. Don’t put too many demands on yourself unless you are sure you will not be overwhelmed.
CANCER – June 20 – July 21
Be sure to keep busy and interact with those you can. At times, you may be overwhelmed, anxious, having doubts and fears, but when you realize we are all going through the same concerns, that feeling will quickly pass. This may be a good time to study metaphysics, religion or philosophy. You are ready to go out after this lockdown and get back to work, meet with your friends and be with family. You can’t wait to celebrate birthdays of family and friends in person. It’s just a very slow process and you are coping quite well through it all. By now your house must be spotless and everything you’ve wanted to accomplish has already been accomplished. Taking care of family and home schooling is different and it was fun at the beginning, but it seems to be getting old now. You want freedom to do whatever you want to and perhaps wish you occasionally had some time for yourself as well.
LEO – July 22 – August 22
Still being the kind and helpful person you are, it seems that you will be helping others and trying to do more to help those in need. There will be some of the Leos, of course, who will just want to keep to themselves to write, read, or create. They are finding this extra time to be like a gift to the hectic life they used to have with work, family, responsibilities, deadlines and never seeming to get ahead no matter how late you worked. You are setting up your priorities and limitations now. You want a life that you can call your own outside of the family. Maybe looking for a part time job or career after the pandemic is over would be just what you need to make yourself feel youthful, useful and valuable not only to yourself and family, but to all others as well.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
It seems finances and/or money issues, at least, and family are the topics for this month. There seems to be a lot of confusion within the family, perhaps different or varied opinions about important topics. However, this is also a time to reconnect or make peace if you are not on good terms with someone in your family. Life is never as easy as it looks and it doesn’t come with a How To book to let us know how to handle every situation. Others may be experiencing tougher circumstances than you. Be compassionate and sympathetic to those who may need your help in getting their lives back on track, but be mindful of those who are taking advantage of you over and over again. You know, whatever you give out, you get back, so help all you can by volunteering, delivering food or even helping on hotlines, hospitals or driving the elderly to their doctor appointments. You will see that helping others will make you feel happy as well.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Family and home life seem to take up too much of your time. You wish things were getting closer to being back to normal because you have so many of your own things to do to find peace in your soul. You may want to start a little home-based business that you may have thought of during the pandemic and really want to concentrate on that aspect of your life. Having family around is wonderful, but it may be a bit of “I need some space,” time and you will try to get it by taking walks alone in the countryside, walking the dog, taking photos of new places you’ve discovered on these walks, watching TV on your own, or perhaps even going into a separate room “just to take a deep breath.”
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
Home and love life seem to have your interest now. Certainly, doing things to keep the children occupied, figuring out computer school, keeping them safe and fed, and picking up after them has taken up a great deal of your time. Be sure that you don’t neglect your partner or there may be trouble looming in the future. Have discussions about matters that are important to you and see where that goes. Maybe you may need more help at home or take a break on your own. You have many pursuits and interests on hold now because you are taking care of everyone else and not attending to your needs. Your life needs balance and until you find out how to do that, you may not be as happy as you could be by compromising or cooperating even if it’s not what you feel was in your best interest (for now).
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
You are still speaking your mind; however, it would be appropriate to talk to your romantic partner or loved ones very carefully this month. You are able to put your foot in your mouth a lot, so think about what you are before letting it leave your lips. You are also very sensitive now but you try to cover it up by being busy, being critical about things, perhaps not taking things as seriously as you should. You may wish to see why you are so sensitive now—perhaps a partner isn’t fulfilling your needs or you may think that (s)he is not attracted to you any longer. Arguing isn’t going to help resolve issues, so have a good conversation about what is bothering you. You’ll be surprised that your partner may not even know what you are going through and by telling him or her your life will change in a very positive way.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
You may still be trying to lose some of the pandemic stay at home weight you have acquired over the last year. Getting on a healthy diet is always better than trying diets which more often than not, never work. Exercise, walking, trying new ways to stay physically fit would be a good start. You can even watch new exercise videos on Youtube. It seems that if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. You just have to decide which things in your life you want changed and then change them. Life is not as disheartened as you may think. There are plenty of people doing new things, finishing old chores or tasks, or just being able to get some quality time with your partner and family. Not having full control at work may be an issue, but everyone is dealing with that. You need to relax a little and enjoy the time off. Once you are back to work, you will wish you had more time with family, so enjoy them now.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
There may be some distress or embarrassment when it comes to your personal partner and loved ones, or those who you know through business. You must be very fair and relaxed to discuss occurrences that may have disturbed you in some way. Discussing it in a tranquil manner would be a good beginning. Dealing with money may also lead to some conflicts. Helping a family member through a tough time and it will be greatly appreciated. Even though you may be able to be at work, as a health care professional or other essential service, you were hoping that you would have more time at home to get to your projects and household tasks. You want to revamp a few things. You may wish to renovate a room or two which is a good choice to work on or perhaps painting one accent wall of a room to give it character and the slight change you may be wishing for. Of course, little accessories can add color to any room. Rest when you can and stay safe.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
You may be inspiring to others and will help them with their issues and concerns while yours go unattended. For now, that’s ok. You are using your intellect, logic and creative abilities to keep busy. Thoughts of traveling or more education on some level (formal education, DVDs, CDs, TV, workshops, training, classes, etc.) is indicated. You may want to take an online course whether its for fun or to push you up the career ladder. Don’t misread situations as you may make a wrong judgment on any quarrels or clashes with others. Maybe that person just needs someone to listen to them or to understand their side of the story. Being how lovely you are, be sure to keep yourself as one of your priorities because it looks like you are doing all the giving and others are just taking whatever you give them.

ARIES – March 21 – April 19
Get out of the house, walk around the block, walk the dog, do the unexpected. Staying home because of the pandemic is getting a little too humdrum for your liking. Invite some friends to your house or go out to a suitable restaurant with proper precautions. Great time to learn a new language or play scrabble on your iPad by yourself. It’s time for a new beginning with fun and laughter along the way just in time for the New Year with all of its blessings. You need to deal with your procrastination issues. Take control of your life. Even though finances may seem erratic and unexpected expenses may hit you when you least expect it, you will do well with the new year.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
Making concessions and changes are always a good thing. You want to be happy so you are starting to compromise just a little. The new energy of 2021 is for you to handle as many of your responsibilities and obligations as possible while sorting out your life. It is about balance and gratitude for everything you and your family have attained, and for all the blessings you have in your life which will continue throughout the New Year. Love life should be getting more romantic and stronger as the year progresses. You may also be interested in spicing things up or changing some of the rules in your relationships. However, good luck seems to be following you around, especially where finances are concerned.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 21
What a great time to continue writing, painting or singing. You can continue doing anything that is artistic and creative now; learn new crafts, spiritual modalities or gain more useful information. Business and personal partnerships are of great importance to your positive future. You may be confused about many issues now and really don’t seem to be able to make an informed decision. With so much going on in your life, you will have time to sort things out. Take your time in deciding important things in your life or ask for guidance from family or friends. You do have the strength to see a clearer vision of your future.
CANCER – June 20 – July 21
Home life is very important to you. Making some changes from a decorating point of view would certainly pick up your spirits. You want so much to be done with the issues in your life, but feel you have responsibilities at home which may make you feel as if you are trapped. Watching your finances and keeping them secure is very important. Too much is going on and your finances seem affected in a big way. Be wary of things that seem too good to be true – scams abound! Check out things that are offered to you and do your homework so that you will be financially secure in the future. Stick to a budget. Unexpected financial responsibilities may arise so you may need to be sure that you have money in the bank for unforeseen circumstances.
LEO – July 22 – August 22
Fun, creativity and getting to your “to do” list seem right for you at the moment. What else can you bring into your life to make it fun? There may be seminars or training classes that you may want to attend via Zoom to learn a new subject or two with the extra time you have on your hands. You have taken a step to prioritize your life nicely and really need to continue in this direction. Getting organized and unburdened of many peoples’ issues and problems will help you concentrate on what you want to materialize into your life. Love life may be somewhat stressed so why not have a special date night at home together whether you cook or bring in takeout. Do the little things for each other and show appreciation for your partner – that will go a long way in improving any relationship.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
It’s a time to deal with any health issues and perhaps start a new routine of healthier eating and exercise. Many internal changes are going on within you and you may feel as if you just don’t know exactly what to do any more. Should you leave your current relationship, job, or home? This can be tricky so make sure you are absolutely sure about any changes in your life and thoughtfully think about how those changes will affect others as well as you. Take your time before deciding on career decisions so that you can make the best choice with you have been stuck in your home, there is so much to keep you occupied that you may even be happy that you have time to finish your projects.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 23
Business and personal partnerships can be hard to deal with. Your intent is to solve issues, but you may run into resistance. Friendships may be strained if you are not diplomatic. Be sensitive to the needs of others and things will work out fine. You need a bit more order in your life now so decide what needs to be done to give you peace of mind. Does your home need to be de-cluttered and organized? Some friends or family may ask for loans so be prepared to say no or give them a lesser amount than they are asking. You are not in a secure financial position that you can help everyone, although you’d like to, so do what you can, but you need to set limits and boundaries.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
You should deal with whichever money issues are important right now so that you can start accomplishing other goals. Save what you can. You have a lot of good luck around you, but you need to grab the opportunities when they present themselves or they may pass you by and never return. Many things are going on behind the scenes, but you are not ready to see them. There may be partnership issues that you may not be ready to deal with; however, keep your eyes open. You may hear something that is somewhat disturbing to you, but if you deal with it calmly and logically, you can quickly resolve the gossip or situation.
SAGITTARIUS – November 23 – December 21
Travel always is appealing to you, so you might be concerned that you haven’t been able to take a well-deserved vacation for some time. You can have all the vacation fun you need when the pandemic is over. New perspectives help you make important decisions that you would have otherwise neglected or overlooked. You are trying to be more consistent, grounded and centered. Everything that has seemed crazy in your life will make much more sense now. You will learn that challenges promote self-growth, inner strength and inner courage. Home life issues will continue to be upsetting at times; however, you are in a much better frame of mind to deal with any difficulties that may come your way.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 20
Your career and personal life need to find a balance. You need some quality time with family keeping in mind that you do need alone time as well. Are you making your partner a priority? It’s all about money for you. Even though having money in the bank is for your family’s security, I’m sure they’d trade some of that money for family time. However, you want to know how to make more money, how to keep it as security for your family and future, and most importantly, how to pay off your mortgage and debt. You may also have some concerns about your love life or women in your life who may like you just because of your income.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 18
You are getting tired of not being able to socialize with friends and family. Keep yourself occupied with reading, chatting on the cell or Zoom, and in taking online classes. Learn new skills on Youtube. You are settling in to a much more balanced year so everything around you will be making more sense. You are able to make positive decisions about your future. Aquarians can leave the past behind and look forward to new beginnings with family, friends and partnerships. Be very specific in the amount of time and advice you are able to share. Do not let others’ issues interfere with your life because you have a kind heart.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
This is a time to get back to a spiritual life and continue with metaphysical, esoteric or unfamiliar topics. Home life has its ups and downs and you are a bit confused about your next move. Your mind keeps racing and you have so much to think about that you are getting confused over the multiple options. Prioritize what you really need in your life. Look into different modalities that you can study or learn to find out what you truly need. If you uncover secrets, try to stay focused on your new beginnings without these distractions. You can handle anything that comes your way.

Autumn is a time of the year which represents balance and enlightenment. It gives us the power to look back over the spring and summer to see if we had fulfilled our goals, dreams, aspirations and desires. It makes us realize that procrastination is a negative force in the universe, a blocking of life force energy, (chi), that will not allow us to go happily in to our futures. We need to be persistent in our goals and must create, journey and explore our universe to find our true happiness and discover what boundless accomplishments we could bestow upon the world. It is a selfless time to contemplate, meditate and dream of your futures. It gives us that much needed pause to slow down and start prioritizing our lives so that we can make it the best we can with the most positive results for all involved.
The Autumnal Equinox is also about celebrating what you have accomplished and reveling in those positive accomplishments. It is a magnificent time to think of others and realize how lucky we truly are to have journeyed far into ourselves with understanding, truth and compassion. This makes us realize that any charitable gesture or action can make a difference in someone’s life no matter how small and the feeling of sharing, giving, exchanging and bartering your gifts with others will always make you feel blessed and humble as you help your fellow human beings in this third dimensional plane.When the leaves start to fall, it is as though the universe has given in to the rationalization that all things must eventually die and be reborn in due course. It is the never-ending cycle or circle of life that we have become accustomed to. It is life as we know it. This is our second chance to make things right, to find that balance within us and to live life the way we had always intended…with peace, love, harmony, joy, good health and an abundance in all things. Happy Autumn to all!
