Arranged Marriages

A client of mine, Joanne was having trouble with her oldest son. Lewis was in a group home because he was very angry. He tried to get his way by using a knife to threaten Joanne. Lewis was only 10 years old and you would think subduing him would be easy. Joanne’s social worker was visiting and Lewis attempted to scare the social worker by jabbing the knife at the worker. Eventually, Lewis lost the knife ( not sure if he gave it up or what) and was returned to care.

The second time I visited Joanne, I asked her if she had been in love with Lewis’ father when Lewis was conceived. Joanne shook her head and then said no. She had never been in love with Hal, Lewis’ dad. That was the problem.

All the clients, I saw who had difficult children were asked if they had ever been in love with the fathers of the difficult children at the time of conception. I never received a yes.

In order to attract a positive soul, a couple need to be in love with each other at the time of conception. When the heart chakras are closed, any entity can step in. When the heart chakras are open, the love will attract a calmer being.

There was a case, years ago in Quebec where the mother and father were estranged. Mom was pregnant and wanted to terminate the pregnancy. She really disliked the father who was an ex-boyfriend. The dad had been abusive, physically and emotionally. Mom went to a psychic to decide whether terminating the pregnancy was a good idea or not. She was told the child would not only have physical problems, but mental problems as well. So Mom terminated the pregnancy before the court had decided one way or another. Dad was not happy, but there was nothing he could do.

I don’t know why some of the major religions of the world have allowed arranged marriages. As a practicing astrologer, I have cast many charts for extremely unhappy women who had been forced into arranged marriages. Many of the arranged marriages were put together by astrologers. The couples had absolutely nothing in common. The marriages must have been arranged because of the money, not the potential for a great love relationship.

A recent client came for her chart. She seemed sad. I asked for her husband’s birthday. When I saw the aspects, I said he had a bad temper with a negative attitude. My client said, ’I hate him. I don’t agree with arranged marriages.’

I asked if she would force her children into this. She said ‘no’ rather adamantly.

Raj was in love with a man in India, but her parents did not approve of him. So, she was forced to marry someone else. Her husband brought her to Canada and the abuse continued. Her parents, in India, thought that she should stay married. I asked if her parents had been happily married. No was the answer. Did they love her? I could tell by Raj’s chart that it was unlikely that Raj had ever been loved. Great, a generational thing with no love, that attracts negative people and negative relationships. Is the world a better place with such people? I don’t think so.

Anyway, Raj brought out a picture of her marriage day. There was beautiful Raj, in a ceremonial marriage sari looking so lost and sad. Standing next to her, was a beefy man with a slight sneer. He looked angry. I could feel his negative energy through the photo. I asked if her parents noticed anything wrong with him. She said they just wanted me married.

Raj then pulled out another photo of her face. Her left eye was black and blue and shut. The blackness went up to her eyebrow and down to the middle of her cheekbone. Although her right eye was open, there were lacerations all over her face.

Now there is an appearance in court and her ex-husband has sworn he never touched Raj. Raj has left him and said he has no heart. By the way, his parents had arranged marriages too.

Love is a necessary ingredient for marriage. Is it any wonder that there are so many angry people in the world? Where is the love? Certainly rare in arranged marriages. Getting pregnant with someone you don’t love who does not love you is flirting with disaster. How sad and very depressing!!!

I have only met one woman to date, who had an arranged marriage and is happy. She really liked her husband as a suitor and told her parents prior to the meetings that if she did not like the man, she would not marry him. She did marry him and they both seem crazy about each other. I love to see that.

I believe that India, for example is a Capricorn country. They believe in maintaining the status quo. Poor, neglected childhoods are common. Being bony, thin is normal. Capricorn is a very traditional, paternal sign. If their parents, grandparents and great grandparents did something a certain way, the way is continued, no matter how inhumane it is. Having money and power is thought to be the be all and end all. Capricorns will marry for money, status and power. I have heard that from many Capricorns.

If you want to have love in your children, it better be alive and well in you mate. Simple, really.

My Daughter and Angel Readings

My daughter calls quite often from Austrailia and we often have long discussions. The last three times she wanted an angel reading. Here they are.

April 5, 2010


Talked to C. today. She feels like she has changed. She wants to be the girl she was, not angry.
She had a dream of being at the club, but she wasn’t working. She felt very weak, passed out, so tired being there.
C. asked me to do an angel reading. Here it is.

We are here. Well, it seems obvious that C. feels the bar is taking the life out of her and that it’s time to move on before she passes out and can’t find her way or the strength to go. She feels she has returned to the land of the living and now is a good time for her to follow her heart.
She must be true to herself. How to do that when she does not know? The book you are reading will be a help. Love is all she needs to reconnect to herself and to the universe.

Thank you angels

• The book is called ‘Living in the Heart by Drunvalo Melchizedek.

If we write down our dreams, wait for a few days and read them aloud, they can make sense.


April 9, 2010

C. called today, she was quite upset. She hates the bar. She likes other people there but not the owner. She said he was a pervert. She can’t find another job. She asked for an angel reading.

We are here, we are here, we are there… We have been trying to help C. but if it strikes her as what she does not want to hear, she ignores! What she wants and needs are not always the same. She must listen to how she feels. If she feels good, fine, if not, should she pretend it’s still fine?
There are other opportunities, but not where she is. She does feel this, but does not wish to look elsewhere. Who knows what could happen should she? We cannot tell her what to do but only encourage her to pay attention to her feelings. Sometimes that is the best, to begin young, to go there --- to do that!
Does this sound cryptic? It is not meant to be that way. But, the one truth she does know is, the place of work is not good for her. Money is not a good reason to stay, ever! This is important she is true to herself first.
She needs to be around those who wish the best for her by being the best for themselves. Any other association is unhealthy. We will continue to help when she asks, whether C. notices or not. We are here to support.

Feeling good about herself, is not as good as it could be. Having positive people around her is best. We love her. We love you C. Listen, listen. We are always around. We are hard to hear when you are worried. Yet, we shall stay. All ways.

Thank you angels

Finally, C. quit her job the next day.



April 19, 2010

Talked to C. last night. She doesn’t know what to do, is confused. She can’t find a job since she quit the bar. She said.’ I don’t know what I am supposed to do. I don’t want to be a failure. Dad’s going to think that. I can’t find a job.’
Then she asked for an angel reading. I thought that the angels always have a cool way of phrasing things, so I was happy to oblige.

We are here, that crazy, little, funny C! She is fun to watch but has a way of blocking what is right in front of her.
She knows how she feels, uneasy, unsure, sad, etc., but she does not want change, change of where she is and the fun she loves. So much is in her waiting to be released. She must believe that her best efforts in any area bring results --------- not always the results she wants but the best results.
Bets efforts in an area which is closing should not be seen as a failure but as an entry to another endless assortment for new possibilities. When one door closes, stop pounding and look for the new door (in your case, you see exit). Will you take it? Your choice!
Remember each closure means time to move on. Enjoy the excitement of the unknown and believe it to be great with new opportunities. Then, every new entry will seem less like an exit.
We love you C. We have been trying to help. You are so funny!. Sometimes the heart urges what you attempt to fight. Go with the flow when you done your best. Obstacles happen for a reason. It’s your choice to push them or go around. You have pushed. Is it working?
You are plucky, indeed. Love you, we do, dear C.

Thank you angels

Of course we had a long talk, but C. was much happier when she hung up.

Drugs : Illegal and Too legit To Quit

For a number of years I worked as a family support worker with five different agencies in Edmonton. Social workers would call the agency because someone was needed to help various families with different issues. The issues were parenting, addiction, abuse, education, health, budgets etc.

I saw many parents who had trouble coping with day to day life. Within the first couple of meetings, I would be told background histories on my clients. Every one had stories of abuse, lots of abuse. A question I always asked was, ‘Who loved you?’ As long as my client had a father, mother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle or someone who really loved her/him, I knew my client had a fighting chance to deal with whatever and come out of the situation stronger and healthier than before.

Those who could not name one person who loved them took longer, if ever, to come out of their personal fog.

Street drugs took their toll. Heroin addicts and alcoholics aged really badly. I saw so many that were twenty years younger than me look twenty years older. It was sad and yet it seemed that somehow at a younger age, they could have been helped. The children brought up by addicts often disliked their parents, but again found themselves on the same path.

Then, I worked for a company (Excel) which ran and owned over thirty group homes and day programs. These were homes for adults over 18 years of age. The disorders were often multiple, brain damage (strokes, beatings, drunk driving, drugs), autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, Alzheimer’s, deaf (plus), depression, developmentally delayed (plus), diabetes, leukemia on and on. I think I only met one client in all those homes who was not on medication. Other clients did meet and mention to their Capital Health worker that they would like to get off the drugs. These souls were told in no uncertain terms that to get off drugs meant leaving the house.

Alternatives were never brought up. Pharmacies tried to stay with clients, but the one favoured by Excel forced many others out. What a cash cow!

At the beginning, each client had a photo taken which was placed in the medication book. This made it easier for new staff. In this way, the client could be recognized and the wrong meds would not be given. It made me feel sick to realize that many of these people would never get better and would end up taking more and more meds, usually stronger and stronger.

A client in one of these homes came in, very depressed. He stayed in his room for days and rarely left the house. Then somehow, he perked up, followed his interest in cars and got a part time job. He began staying over night at friends and family. Noah began missing his meds. Yet, he was still doing well. You see, when a client left for the day or night, he took the meds he needed with him. Noah did not always come back when he said, but he was doing great. A staff member, in charge of the house, was quite controlling and resented his coming and going. The fact that he was getting better did not seem to occur to her. Eventually, he did leave, much better than when he came. Noah wanted to get off all the meds and missing his allotted pills in such a gradual fashion seemed to be fine. Noah told me that he needed to feel like he was doing something. Anyone in a depressed state is usually blocking creative flow. Doing something, anything is a good start.

My point is clients on a lot of meds, such as taking pills morning, noon, suppertime and bedtime can really age clients. As I went from house to house, I would ask when the photos were taken. In two years, these clients looked as if they had been on the streets. In five years, whoa, they did not look good.

When I mentioned that legal drugs and street drugs age people pretty much the same way, I was met with dumb struck looks. This convinced me that no one wants these poor people to get better. I do have to say that most of the Excel staff were good, compassionate but no one seemed to think of any other alternative. What seemed obvious to me such as eating healthy not processed food, was not a big deal in some of the houses. The microwave which eliminates 98% of nutrients was in constant use. In one of the all male houses, the same clients would return hour after hour for another microwaved meal because they could not get full.

Combine bad food with microwave food and a barrage of medications, I can see why clients rarely left. They just died.

Skin (Cancer)

When I was a teenager, my best friend, Brandie liked to sunbathe. So I would walk down to the beginning of the street, change into my bikini at Brandie’s house, grab a big blanket, go into the large backyard where we would lie down and sun ourselves. Although, we had each other for company, doing nothing bored me. I became hot so quickly that I realized baking myself on the outside may bake me on the inside too. Since I was a fair skinned blonde, I could not take too much sun. After the second time, I told Brandie that I felt like a roast and could not bake in the sun any more.

I worked as a camp counsellor or a recreation leader in the summers and that was plenty of sun for me. By the end of the summer, my hair was bleached white and my nose and cheeks were sunburned red. I had great colouring once my peeling nose healed.

I still spent a lot of time hearing other friends saying, “you’re so pale. You should tan.”

In 1976, I attended the University of Guelph. One day in my only Genetics course, the teacher walked in and asked who did not tan. Only three of us in the whole class raised hands. The professor went on to tell us that we were the healthiest because our bodies warned us when we had too much sun. I was elated.

In 1989, I attended a seminar in Calgary. The guest speaker was a well-known Naturopath. He was a robust healthy looking man who gave a funny informative talk. Well, he was a Sagittarius, after all. He said that he never met anyone with skin cancer who had a healthy diet. Fascinating! I had met a few people who had gone through healing from skin cancer and all of them had a fast food diet.

Now, there is such a huge increase in skin cancer that not only people who eat fast food get this cancer but also those who don’t eat fast food regularly. Could it be that all the chemicals and additives that are put in our food have helped cause the increase?

If I go to the grocery store, I really have to check the ingredients list. Most people check for just fat or salt percentage, while I look for words I can’t pronounce.

I have decided that organic food is the safest for me and my family.

A lot of farmers are coming down with skin cancer and other cancers. When I have checked, these farmers regularly used pesticides or chemical fertilizers. I mean these guys are supposed to be eating the best. What’s wrong? It must be the chemicals. The firms that mass produce these chemicals have convinced farmers that chemicals sprayed on the food don’t affect the consumers. Ya right! If even the farmers are getting sick, what stops the rest of us from being affected? Nothing! Because we have been. The population has been getting sicker and sicker. We end up getting treated with more chemicals to clear up the toxins we have already ingested.

What is the answer? I would rather spend a little more on healthy food then spend time in the doctor’s office or hospital getting treated for God knows what.

Thank goodness there are still natural farmers out there growing healthy food.

Have you ever tried to melt margarine on the stove to make a sauce or to cook something in it? The strong smell of plastic assails the nostrils. Apparently, margarine is one molecule away from being plastic!!! Yum! Yum!

One more thing before I stop, has anyone ever read the list of ingredients on the new and stronger sun screens? There are very few words that a nine year old could read, never mind an adult. If I won’t put chemicals in my body, why would I put CHEMICALS ON MY SKIN SO THAT MY BODY CAN ABSORB THEM? Am I being silly? I don’t think so!

By the by, we need the sun, there is now a Vitamin D deficiency running rampant. Why is that? We have been told that the sun is harmful. It can be if we get too much sun. The sun is a great Vitamin D provider, so go for a walk, use moderation, but go out in the sun at least 15 minutes a day.

Okay, okay, this is the last comment. Last fall, 2009, I had a chance to see an ex sister-in-law of mine. She used to make comments about me being pale. I had not seen her for about thirty years. Susie did not look too bad, but she had all these freckles all over her face. I spent most of the evening trying to remember if she ever had freckles. When Susie brought out old pictures, it hit me how much she used to tan because I could not see a single freckle in any of those old photos. I realized when I left that she was full of age spots, not freckles. Am I glad I didn’t spend any more time turning myself like a roast in the sun. Whew! Close one!

Chemicals/poisons

I told my children if they could not read the ingredients, don’t buy the food. So we read everything, cereal, bread, crackers, margarine etc. So many chemicals are in everything we eat.

However, margarine was hailed as being healthier for the masses than real butter. Hydrogenated oils were in all those foods and more. Even the ‘heart’ margarine had hydrogenated oils. Do you know that you have to raise your body temperature to cremation mode to get rid of those oils in your body? There was finally a huge outcry against those oils, but a lot of companies called them trans fats, so that consumers would not look for hydrogenated oils in other foods.

The ‘heart’ margarine went into action getting rid of the oils, claiming still that their brand was good for your heart! Those oils block the arteries. How many people became sick or died believing the B.S. they were told? There are still plenty of chemicals in the margarines that my body and your body will not recognize. Butter is the most natural and thus, the easiest to digest.

If I am careful about what I eat, why would I not be careful about everything I put in my body, such as medications or vaccinations? The toxic chemical list which finds its way into our medicines is sinful. Mercury, which is highly toxic, would never be allowed in our children’s mouths, yet every vaccination in Canada (in the U.S. too) has mercury as an ingredient. Mercury or thimerosal causes learning disabilities, brain dysfunction and nerve damage among other things. If a thermometer breaks, the liquid mercury is so toxic that even touching it with your fingers will make you sick, sick, sick.

When my first three children were small, I was very conflicted about vaccinations. They only had a few and were sick after each one. The nurses will tell you to expect this. According to my logic, anything that is supposed to keep me well should not make me sick even one day. So I began to research the vaccinations.

Here’s what I found.

A group of families in Quebec sued the government for the illnesses and diseases their children got after being vaccinated.

From 1961, all polio victims were tracked and discovered that every one of them had received the vaccine.

In 2000, two researchers tried to find the cause of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). What they did find was that in every single case of SIDS, each child had received a vaccination within two weeks of dying. There was a large data base of 5000.
In 2000, families all across Canada were suing the government for the terrible problems their children had suffered. I only saw it once in the news and then it was hushed up.

Last year, I had several autistic children in my bus. The parents told me that after the last vaccination around the age of two, the children went from normal to autistic. Does this sound like Jenny McCarthy’s son?

A friend worked for a couple of doctors working in preventative medicine and the doctors refused to get their own children vaccinated. Why? All the patients the doctors saw were sick as a result of early vaccinations.

In 1998, the schools in Edmonton began to vaccinate for Hepatitis B, starting in grade 5. Since my daughter was in grade 5, I went to the library and did some research. I read through 152 medical trials. There were so many side effects that England stopped the vaccinations, France stopped the vaccinations and Belgium (made the vaccine) stopped the vaccinations due to hair loss, blindness and tumerous side effects.

I called the school and said I did not want my daughter getting the vaccination. The secretary at the school became quite angry, so I asked her if she knew what the side effects were. Of course, she did not. So I listed them for her. The school gets paid money for each student who gets the shot.

When H1N1 made its appearance, those on heavy medications were the first encouraged to get vaccinated. So a weak immune system was taxed with more poisons. The deaths I heard about were people who were already sick.

A pharmacist sent an e-mail telling people not to get the vaccination because of the mercury content. He listed all the possible problems including death. He said he could not believe that this vaccination was encouraged and he was pharmacist!

Who knows what is best for us? We do. If it doesn’t feel right, do the research. The government does not seem to want what is best for us. They have access to far more information but are not looking out for us at all. People get hushed up.

I went into Chapters during the Meningitis scare for information about the dangers of vaccination. There was not one book against, although one could be ordered for me. The shelves were loaded with pro-vaccine information. Hmmmmmmmmm!

SUN SIGNS

Each sign rules a part of the body. That part of the body can be a strength or a weakness.

ARIES rules the head. Many Aries have scars on their heads, they are in such a rush because these guys don’t always look where they are going. Banging their heads is common.

TAURUS rules the throat. Taureans often have a thick strong neck, okay if you are a guy.
There is a susceptibility to throat problems, such as tonsillitis.

GEMINI rules the arms. This artistic sign often has problems with burns or broken arms, exactly what a Gemini does not need.

CANCER rules the breasts and stomach. This is the mother sign, there is an enjoyment of food and a talent for cooking. Cancer men are famous for staring at a woman’s breasts.

LEO rules the heart. This is the acting sign. During a period a few years ago when Saturn was in Leo, many Leos suffered from heart problems.

VIRGO rules the intestines. Because this is also the nit-picker sign, they can suffer from constipation.

LIBRA rules the kidneys and liver. Diseases such as hepatitis really affect Libras who don’t have the strongest constitution.

SCORPIO rules the reproductive system. Prostrate problems and difficult pregnancies can accompany this sign.

SAGITTARIUS rules the hips. Weight is put on here first and as Sagittarius get older watch out for hip replacements.

CAPRICORN rules the spine, teeth and knees. This is a thin sign.

AQUARIUS rules the calves. Varicose veins can be a problem and even bowed legs.

PISCES rules the feet. Stubbing toes and hurting the feet are common difficulties.

APRIL 2010-04-07

ARIES is the rebel of the zodiac, a pioneer to be exact. They will take crazy chances in life to get their adrenalin rush. Speed thrills them. James Woods and Russell Crowe are examples of this energy.

TAURUS is the farmer sign. They can grow anything with their ‘green thumbs’. These guys are famous for being laid back, nice when everyone else is acting crazy. George Clooney and Jack Nicholson are both Taurus.

GEMINI is the artistic sign. There is plenty of creativity to be tapped and a flair for languages. Gemini is the salesman of the world, a good talker. Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp are great examples.

CANCER is the mother sign and cooking sign. The Mafia don is considered to be Cancer. He likes to run the family. Lots of Cancer women are busty! Sylvester Stallone and Robin Williams are Cancers.

LEO is the actor. So many Leos are known for their dramatic flair or their never ending drama! They are famous for being the sign of the kings and for their generosity. Al Pacino and Leonardo Di Caprio are Leos.

VIRGO is the health sign. Lots of these people are in medicine and become more and more interested in being healthy as they get older. This is the vegetarian of the zodiac. Shania Twain and Sean Connery are Virgos.

LIBRA is the lawyer sign. Remember the scales? What they want is fairness and balance.
The underdog may be oppressed and Libra wants to help. John Lennon and Justin Timberlake are Libras.

SCORPIO is the spy sign. They can hang on to secrets forever, and they are good at discovering yours! But trying to find out about your Scorpio friend is hard work, they let you know what does not bother them to let out. Goldie Hawn is a great positive example of a Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS is the sign of freedom and travelling. These guys hate to have their lives curtailed in any way and are often more tolerant because of travelling. This sign is famous for their sense of humour. Brad Pitt is reputed to be Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN is the sign of power. They will adhere to the rules and crave to be on top running things. Capricorn does not believe in breaking the rules except for someone like Dolly Parton who did. Also Jim Carrey and Patrick Dempsey are Capricorn.

AQUARIUS is the humanitarian sign and social work is one area of expertise. If breaking the rules means someone gets the help they need, the rules get broken. Oprah and Ellen Degeneres are examples of this humanitarian sign.

PISCES is the most psychic sign and is the dancing sign. Always giving another a second chance is part of a Piscean nature. Pisces are famous for their eyes like Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Gleason (fish eyes).

Horoscope-April 2010

Doing a column like this is a hit and miss situation because the sun sign is only the tip of the iceberg. Every person has much more to him. The moon, the ascendant and other planetary positions really tell a story. This column is as important to Astrology as aspirin is to medicine. However, this is just a little guide for the next couple of weeks. So here goes.

Aries: Spend this time to check what is working in your relationships and what’s not. Be honest with yourself. What do you want to do? Or sometimes, what do you not want to do anymore?

Taurus: With a little more mental organization and writing your ideas down (finally!), things can gel, Do the research now and discover how creative you can be. Use music for encouragement.

Gemini: Each day will seem to bring some new idea. Write them down. In a few months, they won’t seem so nuts. This a time to improve your intuition by catching those thoughts flying through your head.

Cancer: It will a touch difficult through the next few weeks if you give in to your moods. On paper, get rid of all your negative thoughts that are holding you back. It’s the time to get in touch with your own feelings. (Don’t read what you have written afterward.)

Leo: You may feel as though you’re running on the spot because your energy level is rising. Be patient, don’t force any issue. Relax, plans your actions for May, when you will still have the energy. Timing is everything!

Virgo: Small details can become ridiculously important even though they are misunderstood. Don’t let this drive you looney. Laugh at the silliness and lack of importance they will ever have in your life.

Libra: Stop trying to straighten things out. During these next few weeks, hibernate!
Watch funny movies, or shows. Stay away from anything serious like the news. You need a break, this is a good time for it.

Scorpio: The ideas that come to you in the middle of a conversation are worth noting. Keep track of them for now. You’ll be surprised with how many ah hah! moments you have and how soon you can apply them.

Sagittarius: Freedom is important, but so is being in the moment. You will understand far more if you listen rather than make assumptions. So many slips of the lip to be enjoyed.
Do what you do best and laugh, it’s contagious and sorely needed.

Capricorn: Your wishes are coming, racing toward you. Stop obsessing with what could go wrong or you’ll have them racing toward you as well. Replace a negative thought with a happy one immediately. Your life is changing, do you want it to be good?

Aquarius: Pat attention to your dreams. Write them down and they will eventually make sense. You have a great opportunity to help yourself.

Pisces: Every day before you go to work, put on some music and dance. Your day will be much better. Dancing will free you up to have more confidence in you! Listen carefully to your first impression of the new people you meet. Life can become clearer.

CHILDREN

There are stubborn signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius
There are gabby signs: Gemini and Aquarius
There are music signs: Taurus and Libra
There are judgemental signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
There are psychic signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
There are funny signs: Aries, Sagittarius and Gemini

The sun sign is only the tip of the iceberg. Everyone behaves like their sun sign when they are comfortable, usually with friends and family. The rest of the iceberg aspects show up

Aries: This is a high energy sign, famous for having trouble sitting still. A little Aries will rebel if he has too many rules which restrict him/her. He can be funny and loves attention. Adventure is what he loves.

Taurus can be easy going but does not like to be told what to do. This sign is known for its strength. Soothing music, rather than rock can calm him down. These children can remember tunes easily and often have nice voices.

Gemini can talk a blue streak and skip from subject to subject. Encourage the artistic side to finish what he starts. Having five things on the go, means when she gets bored, she can go from project to project. He gets frustrated easily.

Cancer loves food, make sure the food is healthy and tasty and he’ll keep coming to the table. She has a great memory so encourage this. Moods cause him to retreat. There is a great ability to want to tinker and fix things. She can put on weight easily.

Leo has a flair for the dramatic and loves being the center of attention. This is the royalty sign, and sometimes it feels as though you have just been given an order. Leos should be encouraged to put their dramatic talents to positive use with acting or dancing.

Virgo wants to please and usually learn quickly. A sensitive stomach will act up when she feels under too much stress from school or overly strict guardians. Encourage laughing and not taking things too seriously. He will worry a lot and not tell you.

Libra wants fairness and gets very perturbed when plans do not work out exactly. She will stress out so easily. Any loud arguing in the family and the little Libra will disappear. Make sure his bedroom is not messy and since he is so full of creativity, let him go.

Scorpio can hear the grass grow and is often bent on revenge (when young), so work with her. She is very clever and usually shows a strong intuition. He will show an interest in the opposite sex at a young age. Be very truthful or he will learn to manipulate.

Sagittarius is usually funny and the world needs more laughter, so … This is the sign of freedom and she may show signs of wanting to travel. In fact, early restrictions encourage rebellion.

Capricorn can be serious and can be more mature than the other signs. This child needs more lightness or she will attract a difficult life. There is a need for approval and appreciation for following the rules. Encourage her to follow her heart.

Aquarius can be very talkative once he is comfortable. She is interested in friends who are all different from each other. This is a very curious child, not too interested in doing things if he is not in the mood.

Pisces can be shy but should be encouraged to dance. This child could have happy feet. There is an ability to feel the energy of his surroundings. Teach her to pay attention to this talent. There could be some writing talent.

Mercury Retrograde

When the planet Mercury appears to be going backwards, it affects earthly communication. Remember the winged god Mercury?
Television often loses cable now. Computers crash and people who get married, quickly find they can’t understand each other. Things get lost in the mail. Double check what you hear. It may not be what you thought. Try not to sign any legal documents if possible. Do not start any new projects because there will be endless delays. Even newscasters stumble with their words.

These periods occur about four times a year and there is one coming.
April 18 – May 11

Watch the fun as a storm begins around the 12th of April and mix-ups start.
Any plans made during this time can have unusual consequences. A couple I know, discovered the wrong time was printed on their flight plans and they had to re-book because they missed their plane. Another family flew all the way to Montreal only to discover that the travel agency had folded and the overseas trip was not honoured.
Double check any and everything and laugh when things do not exactly work out. Lots of couples argue and break up now. Whatever decision you make will be undone if you make it during Mercury retrograde.
