Astrological Effects  

As you can see I am adding a monthly article on Astrology. I have been a student of astrology for many years. When I was in my 30s I read Linda Goodman's Sun Signs and wondered if she and I had met. Because I didn't know how else she could describe me so accurately in her book. Then, during my hypnotherapy training, I met Martha Armstrong, a professional astrologer. Since then I have had her read my updated (progressed) chart twice a year. And I have studied astrology through the books she's recommended and in classes. It helps me understand not only myself but also those around me once I have their birth information.

Now, in my private practice, I always have access to my clients' date of birth. So, at the very least, I know their sun sign and their moon sign. It's very helpful in establishing rapport and getting acquainted with them. For example, I worked just recently with a delightful woman who laughs easily and is a joy to work with. I discovered -- to no surprise -- that she has sun and moon in Sagittarius. And Sags are the most fun people in the zodiac. She is a registered nurse and brings her easy laughter to her patients. What a blessing she must be to them.

Astrology also helped me to understand my children while they were growing up. Knowing their strengths helped me to encourage them in those areas. In my own life it has helped me to move in directions that I might not have otherwise considered. I can still hear Martha telling me years ago that I have the chart of a writer and then asking, "Do you write?" I was just full of excuses and explanations. She cut through it all with, "So start." Just write, she told me. Don't worry about sentence structure, punctuation, spelling... just write for 10 minutes every day. Well, folks, as many of you know, I have written and published 15 books to date. Or is it 16... I"m too busy writing to keep count. (even with my Virgo nature)

If you've always been a little interested in Astrology check it out. Have your chart read, read a few books, become informed. It's fascinating and extremely helpful in the arena of helping others as well as self-help.

  Astro News by Martha Armstrong

This month the Full Moon falls on January 22 in the sign of Leo. When the Moon becomes full each month it brings things to light creating a big "ah ha!" As it will be shining in the sign of Leo we are looking at (lighting up) things that we love, what we create -- art and children -- whom we love.

With every new year comes promises, hopes dreams and wishes. This new year has gotten off to a slow start with the planet Mars in retrograde motion. In Astro lingo this means that from our perspective here on Earth, Mars appears to be rotating backward.

So what does this mean? Since Astrology is a (very old) child of Mythology, every planet is related to a "god." Mars is the planet that gets us going: it's our physcial energy, ego and so on. In mid-November he decided he needed a little rest from pushing all of us humans to do this and that so he slowed, stopped in his rotation and started turining backward in the sign of Cancer... just in time for the holidays and the oncoming New Year. We all have Cancer in a Natal chart somewhere, but generically it is the ruler of home, family, mother and emotions. Hopefully, we were reassessing traditions through the holidays, even though we may have been feeling a little sluggish.

During the retrograde anything that you try to get off the ground seems to trip you up. On January 30th, 2008, Mars will show to a stop and begin to start rotating forward. Hopefully, we will start to get a few bees in our bonnet and finish up any unfinished projects. This is a very good time to start an exercise program at your local gym, yoga studio, get outdoors and walk or to clean your home. This only happens about every two years so take advantage of it!

The New Moon on February 6 will be in the sign of Aquarius, bringing with her New Beginnings. The New Moon is always a great time to start new things. A new moon in Aquarius looks at your hopes, dreams, wishes and joining groups that you have been avoiding.

Astrology shows you where you have been where you are now and where you are going. For a personal reading you can contact Martha Armstrong at mars2003@sbcglobal.net or call 530-787-3781 to set up an appointment.
