In regards to teaching and consulting, my specialty is natal and synastry readings. I currently read the following charts professionally: Natal (birth chart), Progressions (maturity), Transits (past, present, and future events), Solar Returns (annual birthday reading, year ahead), Synastry (couples – what attracts and detracts), and Composite (purpose of the relationship).

What I teach…

I teach the basics, with a special emphasis on how to interpret and read various charts, wholly and well.

I’m not a master astrologer. There are much better technical astrologers, that will teach you the math and astronomy, that’s also a part of astrology.

I’m best working with the absolute beginner to intermediate students. I won’t be your last teacher, even if that means your last teacher will be you!

What I consult…

Natally, I focus on personality, psychology, help you face yourself, commiserate with you, and then give you some solid ideas on how to overcome problems and develop yourself — that takes not pointing fingers at your external environment. And while I’ll do that too and rant about it, once I’ve got that out of my system — I go back to me, internal. If you and I don’t do that, we can not improve our situations or ourselves.

Synastry wise, I focus on what attracts and detracts between yourself and a loved one. I look at the ‘red flags’ — areas where there’s likely a ton of tension and disagreement, and what to do to overcome those challenges. There’s no easy fix and if the other person is not in the session with us, that means you’re probably carrying the weight of the relationship and that makes it more difficult to resolve the situation. However, I’ll give you as many tools as I can and be truthful with you while compassionate and open-ended. In other words, I can’t decide for you what to do but I can tell you about outcomes if you do certain things.

I ONLY do serious consultations by phone.  Not instant message, not email, and not in-person.

I used to do it any which way you wanted and over the years I found the phone was most successful, all the way around for serious one-on-one consultations.

Every astrologer is different and this is my preference.  My second preference — if I really gel well with the client and they are honest, comforting (energy givers, as well as takers), and strong peeps — is in-person! But that would cost more since I would spend much more time with someone in-person.  I just can’t get away from people when I start reading them.  They want… MORE, More, more. haha … and I LOVE what I do — bad mix! LOL

I also provide a session package before your consultation because I have a special way of conducting my sessions. What you can be sure of is that we are coming together to look at your chart (s) and that I’ll have given you some solid insights and tools to help you know the way.  Everything else may or may not be what you expect, so keep an open mind.

People are fascinated with repeating numbers such as 11, 11, 11 as there’s a sense that some added power manifests; they would be right. In numerology, numbers have significance. Lets take a look at the meaning the number eleven has and how this date affects the world, in general, and the people, as a whole.

Stuff about the Number Eleven / 11, 11-11-11, November 11, 2001, and Numerology

As we get closer to the year 2012, the desire of those that follow the Gregorian calendar is that of initiating spiritual enlightenment on this date — either consciously or subconsciously. The people are ready to have a higher mind, to live a higher purpose, to help others even if they don’t get a direct return, to learn of, see, and speak the truth. They want justice and others to act in integrity. In this pursuit, people are willing to sacrifice their stability in a fanatical and overzealous way that could cause the sudden downfall of old foundations.

• When numbers are experienced as a date, anyone who connects to that calendar’s energy will connect to the vibration it’s giving out. So if a country or culture follows another calendar, with another dating system, they are not likely to experience the vibrations of those numbers though if that country or culture is connected to those that do, they can be affected by that.
• Some skeptics would say that seeing the number 11:11 on a clock, for example, is just a function of our reticular activator (basically having a higher attention about something you may not have had before — like seeing something you just bought (car, shoes, portable electronic) all over the place when you never saw much of it before) or apophenia (this seems like intuition and I could easily dispute Conrad’s original theory as others have too). Whether you are experiencing higher attention or “specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness” — it doesn’t matter. Because when it comes to seeing 11:11, your brain has understood this as being a ‘message’ there for you to reveal. So go reveal it…
• Back to the date of November 11, 2011. The whole date adds up to an EIGHT.
• Eleven is considered a master number. A master number resonates on a higher spiritual wave.
• Have you ever suddenly looked at your clock and saw it was exactly 11:11 ? That means that you were connecting to a higher spiritual vibration at that time. A message is being delivered to you through the angelic realm, possibly from your own internal spiritual realm. Stop for a moment, next time that happens. Ask yourself: What message am I to receive? Receive it.
• Some keywords include: visionary, inspirational, inspiring, spirituality, the higher mind, volunteerism, heavenly messages, optimism, education, insights, motivational, uplifting.
• In numerology, numbers get reduced; however, master numbers are never reduced in calculations. Calculating 11 + 11 _ 2 + 11, we arrive at the number 35 which adds to an 8. While the numbers are 11, this will be an 8 day with 11 themes and energy. Interestingly, Edgar Cayce’s life path is a 35/8 and embodies the spirit of the number 11.
• In it’s lower vibration, 2 — some meanings include: co-operation, balance, harmony, negotiation, and fairness.
• Also, if we add 11 + 11 + 11, we get 33 and that is another master number. I like to call this the Master Healer / Master Teacher Number. It’s kind of martial arts in nature — the subtle and gentle types like Tai Chi. The lower vibration of this number is 6 and that’s about support, groups, tribes, taking responsibility, intense creativity, unusual communication, balance, love, softness, soulful and alternative healing.
• The actual year 2011 adds up to a 13/4 which stands are planning, stability, structure, family, foundations, organization, design, teaching, compartments, architecture, tradition, etc..
• As we get closer to the year, 2012, the desire of those that follow the Gregorian calendar is that of spiritual enlightenment. The people are ready to have a higher mind, to live for a higher purpose, to help others even if they don’t get a direct return, to see and speak the truth. They want justice and others to act, in integrity. In this pursuit, people are willing to sacrifice their stability in a fanatical and overzealous way

Current World Events

November 11, 2011 represents the dawning of a new time, a new way of life, a new way of seeing things in an exceptionally forceful way.

• Remembrance Day / Veteran’s Day (moment of silence at 11am!)
• The collapse of the economy and current banking practice
• Proposed censorship of the Internet, lobbied by music and movie organizations
• OWS — Occupy Wall Street
• A World Revolution
• Ousting leaders of government, banking, & corporation

Possible Predictions

• World wealth is likely to see a change, for the better. Dow Jones could see a rise. The economy could bounce back having weathered recent storms. Update on 11,11,11 — Dow is currently UP.
• A marked change or display in civil disobedience and diplomacy
• Frustrations around difficulty in manifesting financial peace, initiating powerful inspiration and vision.
• Exciting, and sudden spiritual and humanitarian changes are likely.
• World leaders coming together to discuss world issues or beginning talks about plans to implement 8 type themes (see above)

This is an excerpt from my Life Path Numerology Generator as it relates to the number 8 and one’s path forward:

Life Path :: Business Leader / Physical Distribution (8)

Your core self includes your major challenge or karmic lesson, desire, gift, knowledge, life path, and destiny.Today, the way to your life path, mission, or purpose is shown; however, in a live reading session I analyze and intuit all different aspects of your core self into one complete picture to give you a powerful reading that gives deeper insight into your personality, career interests, relationship opportunities, challenges, and so forth.

A life path, mission, or purpose is something a lot of people try to define for themselves. The funny thing is that it’s right before your eyes, nothing earth shattering and something you are always drawn to do. In fact, you may find yourself having a hard time achieving success working through your path but that’s part of the process of life, death, and being reborn (should you choose to believe in reincarnation).

Also your major challenge or karmic lesson, desire, gift, knowledge, life path, and destiny together makes a difference in where and how you work and live. Therefore, your life path may express itself in a slightly different way than what it says below. In addition, an inability to harmonize strengths and challenges can keep one away from their path. Please keep all these points in mind while reading and question yourself thoroughly.

Your life purpose is power, wealth, and health. You have the ability to manage resources quite well and because of this you are likely to run your own business, be the boss, and make lots of money!! In fact a spa, chiropractic clinic, or a health food business healing the body might really interest you as well but that all depends on the rest of your core personality and if you are still trying to find your way, let me assist you!

Some keywords: money, money, money!, body, health, energy, homeopathy, power, control, dominance, resources, planner, strategist, retail, auctions, budgets, sensuous, shopping, wealth, work, masculine, yang, Andrew Weil, natural foods, workaholic, fine dining, luxuriousness, distribution, owner, challenging, small business, big business, investments, CEO, executive, diet & exercise, Donald Trump, entrepreneur, lawyer, cosmetician, people manager, stockbroker, director, doctor, founder, director, loan shark, physical therapist (massage, physio, etc.), project manager.

Connects with the energy of Sun signs: Capricorn, Taurus, & Leo and the Elements: Earth & Fire

For number 11, it is Your life purpose is vision & enlightenment. As a rare individual you have the ability to see things many others do not and this leads to open many doors to new experiences.

Taken from my Gift Numerology Generator for the number eleven as it relates to a gift or strength that one possesses:

Gift :: Inspirational Visionary (11)

Your core self includes your major challenge or karmic lesson, desire, gift, knowledge, life path, and destiny.Today, the way to your gift is shown; however, in a live reading session I analyze and intuit all different aspects of your core self into one complete picture to give you a powerful reading that gives deeper insight into your personality, career interests, relationship opportunities, challenges, and so forth.

This free on-line reading has a lot of limitations and is not to be considered the whole of your self but rather a part of the whole.Your major gift is easy and comes naturally to you and everyone sees it plain and clear that that is what you are good at even if it isn’t acknowledged.

The following is not your only gift but is the main one which everyone would recognize within you.Also your major challenge or karmic lesson, desire, gift, knowledge, life path, and destiny together makes a difference in where and how you work and live. Therefore, your gift may express itself in a slightly different way than what it says below. In addition, self-esteem and other issues may be a factor as to whether you decide to suppress or use your gift. Please keep all these points in mind while reading and question yourself thoroughly.

When you are at your best you inspire, uplift, educate, and motivate others to move beyond surface reality. Naturally you are gifted at understanding the spiritual energies of people, places, and things.You help individuals all over the world take action and achieve their potential. However, if in the land of the darkness you may find yourself floating and not knowing quite how to use your gift to good ends. You may also use the lower vibrations of your gift by coaching, consulting, and counseling locally. This usually arises out of desire not to assert yourself forward. If this is the case, be cognizant that if you take the first step, you help others place their foot first too.

Some keywords: principal, photographer, teacher, inspiration, educating, volunteering, missionary, graphic designer, advertiser, spiritual guru, brand developer, individuals helping other individuals, Habitat for Humanity, Deepak Chopra, Steven Covey, Naomi Wolf.

Connects with the energy of Sun signs: ALL with brightest being Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Pisces, Virgo and Elements: Earth, Fire, Water, & Air

For number 8, it’s When at your best you understand and use mass (body, money, resources, skin, objects, and people) like no one else’s business. In fact, you probably run your own business or at the very least run someone else’s. Your motto is power, wealth, and health and your energy is unstoppable. Naturally you are gifted at anything to do with money, control & distribution, and/or the body. This can manifest in anything to do with business, industry, or physical health and breath. However, if in the land of darkness dominance, deceit, greed, and unethical practices can manifest and these unfriendly decisions can lead to the downfall of yourself and others. In this case, be cognizant that your ability to move mass can backfire if you do not consider the feelings, impressions, and thoughts of other people. (mass is weird)

About Abella Arthur, Numerologist & Numerology

Abella is considered a Numerologist because she studies and practices the art of numbers as related to prediction and how your life is affected by numbers. The way we love, work, and our purpose on this planet (amongst other things) can be found in numbers.

She has a natural affinity for numbers — how they look, the shape, what it’s saying to us esoterically.

Dates. Dates have a prominent importance in our life because they consist of numbers. And numbers, the universe, and everything living (which is essentially everything) has numerical vibrations.

Pythagoras, the Philosopher, Mathematician, Numerologist, Astronomer, Teacher and Musician (inspired by Egyptian God, Thoth — it appears), learned the powers of numbers while traveling to areas such as Egypt and Hindustan. For 22 years he learned from the Rabbis about the secret traditions of Moses as well as the Egyptian priests of Thebes, the Phoenicians, Syrians, and the Greek philosophers. In fact he came up with the term philosophy, Sophia, which means the love of wisdom.

There are many forms of numerology practiced: western, eastern, geomatria, etc. Abella practices an Eastern method shared with her by a friend who received that teaching from a guru.

She can be contacted for interviews about the date of November 11, 2011, 11/11/11, 11-11-11

“Intuition is a combination of historical (empirical) data, deep and heightened observation and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.” – Abella Arthur

See Recommended Astrology Books below…

As a professional astrologer and tarot reader, I looked forward to getting this book. There’s a sprinkling of titles on how astrology connects to tarot but no one (to my knowledge) has attempted to teach tarot readers how to read their own chart by providing a great overview of astrology terms and concepts. Nor have they suggested that astrologers could learn tarot. In this way, Corrine Kenner is (yet again) ahead of the curve.

Tarot and Astrology: Enhance Your Readings with the Wisdom of the Zodiac

Although I learned the basics of astrology first, I took to tarot reading far faster and better. It wasn’t until Tr. Uranus Opposition Na. Uranus happened, which activated my third and ninth houses, that I learned astrology deeply and became a professional astrologer.

Previous to becoming an astrologer, I used astrology briefly in my work and in connecting meaning to the tarot cards. I had known the signs and planets well enough to do so and I considered myself at the beginner’s level in astrology.

This book will help you arrive at a level between beginner and intermediate astrological understanding. However, it does not teach you how to interpret a chart accurately or deeply. Though it will help you perform deeper tarot readings and give you a head-start in becoming an astrologer, who reads charts, if that’s what you want to accomplish.

If you are new to tarot, remember not to take everything an author says as truth. A lot of what is said can be subjective, and the author’s personal preference that they do not disclose as such. My rule of thumb is to read at least three to five books on a subject (preferably from different time periods) to get a fuller understanding and more accurate connection to a subject.

The book intersperses tarot card meanings and descriptions which include connecting the sign, planet, or combination of sign-planet ruling the card with astrological phenomena (titled Cosmic Connection) such as what eclipses and a void-of-course Moon are, and mostly new-to-me astrologically inspired tarot spreads. Although I have extensive astrological knowledge, I remained interested and enjoyed how succinctly and helpful things were explained that are normally difficult-to-understand for the lay-person.

The astrological nor tarot information are complete. For example, the seventh house is also about ‘negative & positive projections’ (a very important and necessary thing to learn) but it’s not mentioned in the book. The 7th house (Libra as a mirror reflection) is what you see in others and the first is what others see in you, amongst other things. It also doesn’t include asteroids, such as Juno (co-rules Libra alongside Venus). With the tarot, it doesn’t go into the mechanics of tarot reading. This is only a problem if you expect that everything you’ll need to do tarot or astrology readings will be found in this one book.

In Chapter Eleven, A Simplified Guide to Chart Interpretation, I wish Ms. Kenner would have called it A Simplified Guide to Tarot-Astro Chart Interpretation.

The method described is a hybrid of tarot and astrology (as she noted in the introductory chapter). This is not purely astrology or purely tarot so be sure to understand this is a brand new method of working with tarot and astrology.

Most seasoned astrologers would likely not want to work this method as they have enough to work with already to keep them busy and deep into the symbology and language of astrology. And I imagine they would think of this method as an unnecessary diversion and distraction.

What I am interested in knowing is: Where did the author get her information from? While there were a few good books listed in the bibliography, it is lackluster and doesn’t include classics that most astrologers would recommend.

The information in the book is crisp but where did she learn it from? I would have liked to see some shout-out’s to other authors and teachers as this author is now established as an excellent tarot writer. It’s time to share sources. I’ll list, below, some recommended serious yet accessible astrology books for those tarot readers who want to become genuine astrologers.

Overall I was impressed and delighted with this book and Ms. Kenner’s creativity. Thank you!

Connect more deeply to tarot

+This book will give you solid astrological information to help you connect more deeply with your tarot cards and therefore giving richer meaning to your tarot readings.

+ This book is a great overview of astrology and how it works.

+ Qabalistic reflections are offered as a bonus to the topic of mixing astrology with tarot.

+ The book cover is very lovely, the book itself nice to read. I can fold and curl over the pages and it doesn’t harm the spine.

+ Mostly new (to me) and worthy astrological tarot spreads!

It’s unlikely you’ll become a master astrologer through this book alone.

- This book may give the impression that it will give you the tools to “interpret an astrological chart”; however, what it really does is give you knowledge of how astrology works and information on reading charts in a hybrid manner.

- It takes a lot of practice, skill, daily study, and critical thinking to synthesize a chart successfully. There’s nothing in this book that teaches you how to connect all the elements nor does it give a thorough treatment in aspect or chart delineation.

- “…you’ll master the connections between astrology and tarot — not as two separate fields of study, but as a seamless, integrated whole.” Please don’t buy this statement. Astrology is a separate field of study. If you suggest this to Astrologers, they are not likely to take kindly to you thinking this way. I believe I understand what the author wanted to accomplish; however, tarot (visual art) is more Neptunian and Astrology (mental art) — Uranian. And both have a connection to Saturn. These fields overlap, they connect, and you can learn from them and use them in your work BUT they are not the same and therefore can not be a “seamless, integrated whole”. Astrology, the study of stars, also came first.

- The reverse is also true. If you are an astrologer reading this book, you’ll grasp tarot better but you’ll unlikely feel confident to read tarot and it’s unlikely you’ll want or need to “bring your charts to life” with tarot since astrology is already rich and vibrant in its own symbolism. You may, however, use the tarot imagery in your blog posts.

- The Sun & Moon are commonly known as planets but they are actually called luminaries.

- Because the glossary doesn’t start from the beginning, some readers may go ‘huh’ when they read astrological jargon not already explained. In this case, simply turn to that section and read it first.

Recommended Reading and Resources

I recommend purchasing and using this book as a solid reference guide. Not only because it will deepen your tarot readings (if you haven’t already connected the astrological associations) but it will give you a general, behind-the-scenes look at astrology, natal horoscopes, and what it means. Just keep in mind that you’ll likely only gain knowledge of how astrology is used and what the jargon means in a basic way. After-all, it is not an astrology book. As Ms. Kenner states, “Like a travel guide, this book has given you a preview of new worlds that await you” and “Be warned, however, that no guide can help you discover (sp. error) a direct route to the mastery of tarot and astrology”.

This review done by Abella “Jucy” Arthur

Recommended Astrology Books

These books will give you a well-rounded understanding about astrology; however, you’ll want to have read through and practiced with at least 20 astrology books on not only general astrological topics but special interest and specialized ones as well. You’ll also find astrology books can be more expensive and split up into volumes or a series. I feel that’s because astrologers (a traditionally male dominated field) and readers of astrology books value this work and there’s so many new insights to share. Hopefully tarot readers (traditionally female dominated field) take a page from astrologers in valuing their work more.  And with more professional male tarot readers, having a known presence in the field, that’s likely a good outcome.

I love these little kits. For a busy person like myself, I don’t have a lot of time to get involved with something that takes awhile to learn.

With this kit… Open the box, put the CD on, look at the cards, close your eyes, and let the world drift away…

PACKAGING & CONTENTS OF THE MEDITATION BOX
A mini twenty minute meditation CD, four visualization cards, ceramic incense holder, and a guide book.

CD
Track 1 Love (5 minutes)
Track 2 Peace (5 minutes)
Track 3 Balance (5 minutes)
Track 4 Transformation (5 minutes)

The first track hits, vibrates, or activates your heart chakra. For those that inhibit themselves, the track pushes out ‘feeling’ with jutting guttural sounds. Then we move into summer sounds with insects and what sounds to be like a lawnmower. I find this quite relaxing.

Track two repeats / chants the word Shanti, which means ‘peace’ along with with Sanskrit word, Om. Then we hear the summer sounds again.

Track three chants a sound for a long period of time and which gets progressively louder. Sounds like Eeeeeeeeee and is a bit buzzy, like one of the insects. Again, I find these jutting gutturals very helpful when I’m not in a place to be able to sound these healing sounds out myself. It sort of ‘forces’ you to purge negative energy.

With track four a very large sound emerges (the loudest sound yet) and I was forced to stop writing about the CD as my heart rate increased. Once I stopped writing and leaned into the sound, I felt purified. The sound gradually fades out and the Om chat is heard, and finishes with chanting and lightening.

Each track fades in and out. Wow… what an amazing energetic work-out.

The Visualization Cards
There are four square cards and include pictures on one side and a solid color on the other side. Love (dark red/pink/rose), Peace (Forrest green, waterfall), Balance (navy blue, clouds), Transformation (Grape purple, Lightning).

PLUS & MINUS

+ Marvelous mini-meditation CD… forces you to relax as long as you’re not too stubborn!
+ Visual examples on how to sit while meditating.

- I can’t think of anything I don’t like or that you won’t like about this kit other than the sounds ‘may’ be irritating to people who are not yet ready to get out of their comfort zone or having trouble with one of themes. Hubby got irritating with the third track and I was initially agitated with the fourth until I recognized that I was trying to ‘fight’ it.
Publisher is Connections Book Publishing which is a firm based out of London, England. They are the makers of other quality kits such as: The Cup Of Destiny, Decision Dice: Your Every Question Answered with Book(s) and Other, The Aromatherapy Box, The Psychic Box, Titania’s Crystal Ball.

Review by Abella “Jucy” Arthur

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Great Fortune Telling & Crystal Ball Starter Package

I’m impressed.

PACKAGING & CONTENTS OF PSYCHIC BOX
Crystal ball, wooden stand, ESP cards, and two guide books.

Crystal Ball & stand
This kit comes with a tiny crystal ball (about an inch in diameter). I really like the ball as it has a good energy and feeling to it. And I actually prefer it to the larger ball size in Titania’s Crystal Ball. Also, the Psychic Box crystal ball will fit nicely in smaller hands. It also comes with a small wooden stand (in the shape of a ring).

ESP Cards
The cards are square with rounded corners and include standard ESP symbols. They are on thin stock with purple backs.
I have used these types of cards many times with my husband and they do work if you have a psychic connection.
But I have also found that other people’s energies can interfere with correctly guessing the shapes!
At any rate, it makes for some amusing moments and even though I’m a psychic, I still can’t believe they work.

PLUS & MINUS

+ Guide books are quick and easy to read.
+ Cover a number of different fortune telling tools.
+ I like how the different tools are groups in elements
+ It’s a beautiful and inexpensive gift box for the metaphysical friend or family member.

- The information in the guide book about various ‘reading techniques are sometimes basic, not complete, unexpected, or too expected (outdated).
- While cute, The Psychic Book is a bit challenging to read. I’ll be getting my reading glasses out as I refer back to it! It’s about 8 points if it were in Times New Roman so only so much can fit on one of the pages.
- I would consider tarot a water energy and telepathy air.

Review by Abella “Jucy” Arthur

I genuinely care about what makes people tick and how to help them move past their blocks and other people’s blocks.

But being there, helping people, means I’m stuck in the past — the other’s past and my past. And my focus the whole time is to take the other to their own positive future. But what about me? Am I achieving my future? I think not.

We are who we spend our time with.

I love helping people but having an early degree Virgo SN Conjunct Mercury in the 8th house is doing psychoanalysis and dealing with people’s deep and dark stuff. And while I can do it well, it’s my past. I’m also not into studying something in a way that doesn’t give me personal freedom of mental expression. In other words, to be a psychologist, I need to do years of formalized education in a restrictive environment and with Jupiter & Uranus Libra in the 9th I don’t think that’s my destiny. My future is Pisces NN 2nd house conjunct (out of sign) an Aquarius Part of Fortune in the 1st and my late degree Virgo in the 8th (close to or cusping on Libra… My Venus Virgo is 28°).

Helping people (in the way I have done) keeps me in my past. It took a TarotSeek session and a conversation my Pisces hubby to hit the final nail on the head. And that’s an incredible revelation because I had trouble with understanding how I could do Pisces NN while having Virgo SN and a packed house of Virgo. And while I love helping people and can do it, it wasn’t serving me and I want to be a servant in another way — a way that serves the goals of other AND myself.

But I asked: How can I do my Pisces NN while moving away from the Virgo SN with so much Virgo?! The answer is plainly in not judging others or their situation and doing Piscean pursuits that are largely insular yet eventually healing and expanding out to others.

Anyway, back to this topic…

Once I make-over someone, they are done — they leave. I don’t get invited to the photo-shoot or the after-party, and rarely do I get a photo of that shoot mailed to me down the road. It’s not fun and I ♡ fun!

Once I help someone shine brightly, they leave and I don’t get to enjoy the fruits of our labour. And the people I help, don’t really come back for me. They are not really thinking of getting me ahead and that’s not their fault or their responsibility.

It’s time that I do my Pisces NN and start working with art and music in a spiritual way — in a way that inspires and teaches others.

Looking back, it’s (art has) always been there.

I was part of the choir in school and church. I still sing today (in my shower, while washing dishes, etc!) and have dreams of being a one-hit wonder — time limited fame & fortune! I have a ton of musical instruments but I haven’t picked up my guitar in a long while and I actually fancy the harmonica and drums. I was part of a special enrichment class in grade school where we made a commercial about soda-pop and I was the lead actress doing Michael Jackson’s MoonWalk (totally dating myself here!). I always took art class in school and drew everything that would let me. Teachers liked what I did but they never pushed me into a professional pursuit.

In one of my high schools, I was in a special class where most of the students were actors, athletes, or artists. They asked: What do you do? I didn’t. I was just a student who was bright but accelerated so regular school was too boring and didn’t work. I needed independent and flexible study. That’s why I was there. But I did spend some time thinking about going to OCAD and I hung around art students and professional artists.

In my late teens I worked at a local movie theatre and once sang Blue Moon at the front of the stage with an usher who was trying to land an acting gig / career. And there was Ed, the dancer and wow, do I love dance. Which brings me to being a gymnast with a particular interest in the mat and beam. Then as an adult, I took pottery and other hobby art workshops. Color and color psychology are big interests too. I am amazed at how color transforms an environment or person. I like to play with origami, draw, and create to help me relax and be. And my Mom is a Pisces and an artist plus my ancestors were musicians and artistic. To boot, as a 30/3 life path I like to express and I took drama every year too. I can be a bit of an improvisational loon.

There are so many more artistic and dramatic memories but it would probably fill pages and I hope not to bore anyone with details. I also didn’t intend for such a self-exploration but with Mercury Septile Jupiter, I have a habit of writing or talking up a storm! Hope no one thinks it’s self-absorbed and I do hope this helps others take the time out to find or accept their heart’s desire.

But back onto topic again…

I greatly admire/d artists and I was/am surrounded by artists but I never stepped up to be an artist and while some artists helped me take a step, looking back… it looks to me that others almost hid their artistry from me preferring to talk about what I knew and did rather than what they knew and did so I didn’t get to learn a lot.

This is why even though I have connected with tons of people in my lifetime, I’ll never forget those that helped me positively progress because they have been few and far between. Like an ex-boyfriend (also a three life path) who had cut a super CD of his own. He let me stay in his place and sing to my heart’s content on his recording equipment and finally I was able to sing in front of him — first time I did that as an adult. And I even contemplated getting singing lessons back then but I didn’t. In fact, ever so often I reach out to get lessons but something holds me back (now, I’m just studying how to sing through a CD program, as I clean up my place). Anyway, he inspired me to write some songs and paint too. He, a Taurus, went on to get a degree in fine art. He opened me up to express myself and to let go of rigidity without actually telling me what to do. And one Christmas he got me a color wheel. That was one of the best gifts I ever got. He also got me a blue cup with a sunflower on it (I love flowers, especially sunflowers — LEO!!) that I used for my paint brushes and he also gave me a painting he did for me.

Natally, I have a packed Venus (as well as Mercury, Moon, a lot of Septiles, Noviles, and Deciles — but this post is about the right side of my brain as it pertains to art and why I’m turning away from my left, for now, to explore it).

• Venus Conjunct Moon
• Venus Parallel Moon
• Venus Semi-sextile Jupiter (on and off)
• Venus Trine Saturn
• Venus Conjunct Uranus
• Venus Sextile Neptune
• Venus Conjunct Pluto
• Venus Semi-Square MC / Midheaven
• Venus Semi-Square Sun
• Venus Tri-Septile North Node
• Neptune Sextile Moon
• Neptune Septile Uranus
• Neptune Semi-sextile Jupiter (on & off)
• North Node Trine Jupiter (in Pisces, Neptune ruled)
• Midheaven Conjuncts the fixed star Alphecca (the artist)

Neptune is a higher vibration of Venus.
I have Neptune Scorpio in the 10th house.
I am a muse but I like having muses too.

(Astrology notes… things I just noticed or thought of after writing this whole she-bang up!)

• I wrote this on Friday — Venus day! hehe)
• The world transit for Chiron has retrograded back to 2° 30 Pisces TODAY and that has re-activated my North Node Pisces 2° 49 as a powerful conjunction. This also means that my SN is opposite Tr. Chiron reminding me that the past hurts my future.
• The last time Chiron came into 2° 30 Pisces was on March 11th, 2011 and the last time it will jump back in a direct motion, in my lifetime, will be on January 18, 2012 at 2° 47; however, the first week of January will probably bring a huge jump in consciousness as to what and how I’m to carry out my life’s mission.
• My midheaven trines my North Node and Tr. Chiron trines my Na. MC

Art has been at my fingertips this whole time. I have done it, I have hung around people who did it, and yet why was I being so nebulous about the whole thing when it came to me doing it?

With all this art around me, why has it taken me so long to connect the dots? I have my thoughts but it mostly comes from non-support. Insular art is not something that others can enjoy, at least not right away. And I have found that the majority of people are selfish. If it doesn’t serve them at that moment, then why care? If you are reading this and you are not selfish, I wouldn’t be so quick to pat yourself on the back nor would I do so if you consider yourself selfish. Because doing what doesn’t come naturally helps find a balance and that is often something to be more proud (a Leo word) of.

For myself (with my Sun in the 7th house naturally ruled by Venus & Juno), I’m learning to be selfish and to take care of me. I don’t have any more time to lose. It’s time for my Sun Leo to flower…

p.s. I’m not the ‘throw the baby out with the bath water kind of Gal”… My Venus Trine Saturn likes to expand upon, build upon. I’m not giving up on the psychic arts, I’m adding to it. That’s my Jupiter Sextile Ascendant.

1. Passionate. Astrology isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes much observation, reading, learning, and doing. If an Astrologer is not passionate and serious about astrology, they won’t be passionate about giving a top quality reading, adding value, providing modern impressions and services either.
2. Curious. Great Astrologers keep asking WHY. They will ask everyone, including you, WHY? Astrologers are not fortune tellers, they are life helpers. If an Astrologer has stopped asking why, their egos are probably no longer in check.
3. Ethical. They do this work for the right reasons. They have standards of professional practice in place.
4. Sensitive. There’s likely to be bits and pieces of your blueprint or DNA that isn’t considered lovely by most, including you. A sensitive astrologer does not judge or criticize; they understand. They don’t blame you and they understand why you see the world in the way you do.
5. Progressively accurate. While it’s important for an Astrologer to possess common astrological knowledge, an Astrologer who truly “owns” their astrological understanding adds their own flavour of astrology to the mix. So they will be on page with what most astrologers will say BUT they have something new to offer that few to none have said before.
6. Productive. They will not only tell you what is what, they will help you get where you want to go.
7. Supportive. They have their heart in the right place. While they are offering a paid service they truly want to assist in helping you lead the life you want. They want you to manifest their dreams.
8. Approachable. If a service provider is not friendly, warm, human yet professional in context, and most often light-hearted it’s unlikely you will feel a natural sense of rapport and be at-ease. Astrologers who have their ego and humility in-check can truly be there for you.
