A

ron Schoenfeld recently intereviewed me for his blog “Do It In Person” (doitinperson.com). Aron wanted to learn about my WordPress Meetup group which is one of the largest blogging Meetups in the world with over 1200 members. The internet makes distance learning so easy, so why do 80+ members of the WordPress Meetup come out in person to learn about blogging and new media when they can watch any number of videos and webinars in their PJ’s? Despite all the advances in virtual reality, I believe that people are inherently social. We enjoy being with others in person and having a shared experience in realtime and in real-space. I told Aron that people get to know and trust each other by sharing conversation over soft drinks and snacks. The ability to share a private joke or a piece of gum may seem small and inconsequential, but that is how we build trust—in person, one moment at a time. Friendships develop at meetups that transcend the monthly meeting and people begin to rely on each other for advice and business referrals. These face-to-face interactions are important because we not only grow to trust others, but we also bolster our own trustworthiness by showing up regularly and supporting others. With our presence, we give a gift that cannot be replaced or duplicated—the gift of our attention in the here and now. To be fully present with another human being is a unique experience that transcends the moment. These moments are special and are such a deep part of our consciousness that I believe all longing, desires, and hungers are merely pale shadows of our deep longing to connect with others at a spiritual level—to connect with our higher selves and experience a timeless reality that exists in a shared moment of complete openness and trust. The D/FW WordPress Group has met monthly since 2008. Over the years I’ve watched members learn WordPress, create blogs, and start new ventures together. More importantly, I’ve made lasting friendships. I encourage you to join Meetup.com and find some groups that align with your interests. If you open up and become present with others, I guarantee you will meet the most amazing people and you will have the time of your life.

Y

ou can really know about a person by how they treat others in their time of need. Do they push and shove? Are they absent and unavailable? Or do they hold out a helping hand and offer support until that person is able to stand on their own again? A few months ago my mother told me that she was experiencing a lot of back pain. I was concerned, because she was living alone in a city quite far from my siblings and I. As the day wore on, she did not sound any better and I felt very nervous about her precarious situation. The next morning I was wondering who could go and be with her. My daughter, Marissa, was home on her college break and I asked her if she would be willing to go and help her grandmother for a few days. She immediately said that she would be happy to and that I shouldn’t worry because she had this covered. I was so impressed and gratified by her response. I told her she was a heroine and that I was very proud of her. A few hours later, she boarded a plane to Las Vegas. By the next day, my mother felt even worse and the following morning she fell when she was attempting to get out of bed. Fortunately, she had her cell phone within reach and she called Marissa, who immediately came running downstairs to help. Marissa took her to the hospital and stayed in town for 6 days after which time I made the trip and stayed for another 6 days. After 7 days in the hospital and 9 days in inpatient rehab, my mother was finally strong enough to make the trip to stay at my home in Dallas. I am happy to report that after a month of outpatient rehab, acupuncture and herbs with Dr. Dashima Dovchin, Fascial Integrative therapy with Frankie Burget, and massage therapy with Trish Daniel, my mother has made a full recovery. In fact, she has even lost 8 pounds, is in better shape than she has been in years and is ready to live independently again. I am very grateful to these wonderful healers, who offered their incredible services to aid in this happy outcome. I am also so thankful that I have a daughter, who can be depended upon. She is a great blessing in my life and the lives of all those she touches. I hope you will also be the kind of person, who is there for your loved ones. There is no greater gift that one can give than to be someone who can be counted upon.

Best wishes,

Love & Light,

Tony Cecala

Holistic Forum What is Wellness Care? My understanding as a health care practitioner deepened when I realized that I could create the qualities of my life, such as living with greater ease, respect, gratitude, trust, discernment, joy and LOVE. In the process, I learned to appreciate my physical and emotional traumas!!! This opened my eyes, ears and heart… towards contemplating more deeply… some important life lessons. In return, it gave me more strength and courage to re-create myself, resulting in a healthier, happier and more �exible life. If you are interested in becoming a catalyst of your own change, it would be my honor to work with and support your process.

What is Fascial Integrative Therapy? This therapy recognizes the importance of the integration of the fascial and CranioSacral systems and works to gently release restrictions that may be causing pain, or problems in the immune, nervous, digestive, endocrine or other body systems. Using a very light touch the therapist works to correct the origin of the pain. It has been used to successfully correct infertility, scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, ADD/ADHD, carpal tunnel, �bromyalgia, sports injuries, arthritis, and pain in any area of the body, including migraines. Frankie Burget is a licensed Occupational Therapist and Fellow with the American College of Wellness who has practiced in the DFW area for over 20 years. She has extensive training including Barnes Myofascial Release Centers and Upledger Institute. You may view her curriculum vitae on the About Us page of her website, www.windsongtherapy.com. Please contact her at 817571-8135 or frankie@windsongtherapy.com. Please see bodywork section for more information. What are the bene�ts of Acupuncture? Acupuncture is used to balance your body’s energy and remove any blockages that are causing illness. It also helps to stabilize your immune system and restore your body’s self-healing abilities. It can be used to treat a variety of health problems including pain, hormone imbalances, chronic digestive disorders, and much more.

Dr. Dashima Dovchin, DOM, LAc, PhD, holds an MD degree from Mongolia. She is also a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and a licensed acupuncturist. She focuses on integrating Western and Oriental Medicine based on the functional connection of the body. She uses pulse diagnosis, which is the basic diagnostic tool of acupuncture and oriental medicine to determine your body’s condition. She may be reached at: 972-404-4442.

What is a naturopathic doctor? Doctors of naturopathic medicine (NMDs) are trained as primary care physicians and have attended a four-year naturopathic medical school. Their training is based on the same basic science and clinical biomedical instruction as allopathic medicine (MD); however, natural medicines are emphasized. This rigorous medical training differentiates NMDs from other self-taught alternative practitioners. Naturopathic doctors assist patients by using integrative and holistic modalities such as nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and counseling. This approach has proven successful in helping both chronic and acute conditions. To determine if a doctor is trained as an NMD, verify that they have an active medical license and have graduated from an accredited AANMC medical school (www.aanmc.org). Dr. Kimberly Wilson, NMD, Innovations Wellness Center, 6545 Preston Road, Suite 200, Plano, TX, www.InnovationsWellness.com (972) 608-0100 What is Iridology and how can it help me? It has been said that the eye is the mirror of the soul, and that it discloses the different mental and physical conditions of the body; we generally speak of the ‘vivid clear eye’ of the well person, of the ‘anguishing, glaring eye’ of the consumptive; of the ‘broken eye’ of the dead-sick. Various nervous diseases are disclosed by the decreased mobility of the pupil; frequent disturbances of the sight point to diseases of the kidneys (diabetes), as does also the falling out of the eye-lashes. By analyzing the iris of the eye, it is possible to determine the condition of your body by re�ex markings found in the corresponding �bers of the iris. Iridology analyzes the iris of the eye to determine the cause of your ill health, in what state it is in, how it arrived there, how to free your body of it, and most of all, when you have freed it. Dr. Edna Craven, DC, CTN, BCI, director of The People’s Chiropractic Clinic has over 30 years experience as a Nutritional Consultant and as an Iridologist. She has been instrumental in helping many regain higher levels of health. She can be reached at 972/256-0004; dreecraven@att.net.

Get vacation-quality relaxation while resolving even old and deep body issues, acute or chronic. Bring your biggest issues, from TMJ, carpal tunnel, whiplash and migraines, to thyroid, female problems, injuries, etc. This technique restores �ow and balance, promotes healing, resets the nervous system, enhances �ow of CSF, relieves cranial compressions implicated in many disorders, even releases emotional tissue memory from old traumas. Selected teaching assistant to founder Dr. John Upledger, Sandy needs only this versatile work to achieve favorable outcomes for most people. Lives transform in her office; let yours be one of them.

How can the Language of Light be of bene�t to me? The Language of Light is a vibrational healing technique. During her expression of the Language of Light, Nancy is able to “catch” the sound current to “tune into” the frequency of your soul like a radio. This provides a sound-carrier wave for your intention to manifest. After experiencing the Language of Light, many report feeling more empowered, having a sense of remembering the essence of who they really are, and experiencing a sense of physical well-being. In addition, some clients have reported a lessening of their depression, an easing of back pain, a decrease in neuropathy pain (for about 3 weeks following one session), and a release of physical & emotional trauma.

Sandy Hanne, R.M.T, has helped thousands of clients change their lives using CranioSacral Therapy. An advanced practitioner, she has studied extensively with Dr. John Upledger, founder of the technique. 469-438-8634.

Over the last 20 years Nancy has developed an ability to express this language. Come experience Nancy’s “Healing with Sound” at the Wellness Expo. Nancy can be reached at: 972-424-1217. To hear a sample go to: www.soundSOULutions.com

Is there a better way to fix my cracked tooth other than a cap (crown)?

Yes. The disadvantage of crowns (caps) is that they require the dentist to grind your tooth down to a tiny peg, which is very aggressive and traumatic to your tooth. It not only grinds off all the sick areas of the tooth, but it also grinds off all of the healthy area too! These can traumatize the tooth yielding pain. Alternatives include tooth-colored �llings, and/or conservative, longer lasting tooth-colored “Inlays and onlays.” These restorations are terri�c in that they do not grind your tooth down to a peg, may actually strengthen your tooth (by the simple fact of removing less tooth structure), and �x only what is broken, leaving your healthy tooth structure intact We are an office that has been utilizing the most conservative methods in dentistry, and the most biocompatible materials available, for over 14 years. If you would like further information on any of these procedures, please feel free to contact me at Dentistry For The Quality Conscious at 972-691-1700 or www.drgolab.net.

Book Review: Breast Choices for the Best Chances: Your Breasts, Your Life, and How You Can Win The Battle! By Shawn Messionnier, D.V.M Reviewed by Felicia Weiss, Ph.D. Dr. Messionnier is a naturopathic/ holistic veterinarian, who wrote this book to help women make their own informed choices regarding their own healthcare, as well as to help those charities he felt were most in need of his financial support. It is the story of his wife Sandy’s successful fight with breast cancer, as well as a sharing of the results of all of the research he found in his efforts to help her with this battle. He does an excellent job of explaining what tests are most helpful in obtaining the knowledge a woman needs to make an informed decision regarding her treatment. He also provides a summary of the research results currently available in order to know how to interpret those tests and to fully understand what stage one’s cancer is in. In addition, he offers an explanation of the many supplements one can take to minimize one’s risks and to serve as an adjunct to conventional therapies. Although he believes that an integrative approach of conventional and alternative treatments is best, he does a great job of presenting the information so that each woman can make her own decisions about what is the most optimal approach for her. I feel this book is an excellent guideline for all women to aid them in the prevention and/or treatment of breast cancer. It is also an important resource

for those serving in a supportive role, such as a husband or parent to a woman with breast cancer. I learned a great deal of valuable information while reading this book. I feel better informed and more knowledgeable on ways to stay healthy and what to do should I ever be confronted with this horrible illness. Although Dr. Messionnier found that not much progress has been made in the war on cancer, he feels that the world of integrative oncology does offer a lot of hope for the cancer patient. Of course, knowledge is power, and those wishing to prevent cancer or those diagnosed with cancer will find this book a must read. As Dr. Messionnier says, given that “Cancer therapy is very much an individual and personal decision”, it is important for people to have all of the information available in order to make the best decision possible for their particular situation and condition. He does a wonderful job of educating current and future cancer patients about all of their options. I feel that many people will benefit from the knowledge Dr. Messionnier gained on this journey with his wife. Shawn Messonnier DVM. Author, the awardwinning The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats, The Natural Vet’s Guide to Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs, and Breast Choices for the Best Chances: Your Breasts, Your Life, and How YOU Can Win The Battle!

People v. The State of Illusion

®

By Austin Vickers

I

began my career as a trial lawyer for one of the largest law firms in the world.

There is always a distinct aura and excitement in the courtroom. You eagerly wait for the judge to enter the room, at which point he or she takes their seat on a big leather chair on a stand that is elevated above everyone else. In cases decided by the judge, he or she has all the power and control and can dictate the course, direction, and outcome of the trial. In the courtroom, the judge is God, making decisions that can literally affect every part of a person’s life, including their death. In the trial of life, we get to play the role of judge. Life presents a wide variety of ideas and options, from which we all must make choices and judgments. Thus, the role of judgment is necessary to the manifestation of our individual experience. When judgments shifts, however, from an internal experience of choice to an external experience utilized to elevate ourselves above others, it becomes a tool of the ego, designed to help us feel more powerful by imagining others as less so. As a tool of the ego, our judgments can quickly become unconscious, shifting from choices to regurgitations of predetermined thoughts that have been projected on to us by our families, peers, or culture. Living this way, we begin doing things we think we “should do,” rather than using judgment as choice to fulfill the longings of our hearts and souls. Such judgments soon end up imprisoning us in a state of illusion and discontent. However, hidden within the prison walls that restrain us are the keys to their destruction. For if we are the architects of our prisons, then we must necessarily have the abililty and

power to deconstruct them. Like is often the case, I think nature can shed light on how to escape our prisons and deconstruct the state of illusion that many of us live within. To the human eye, the spider web, although intricate in complexity, looks unremarkable in color. However, the strands of a spider’s web actually exhibit extraordinary colors. They are not perceptible to us because we cannot perceive the frequencies of ultraviolet light they reflect. These extraordinary colors are perceptible, however, to an insect like a fly, because their eyes are much more sensitive to ultraviolet light than our own. This is the reason why insects are drawn to a spider’s web. They are attracted to the vivid, ultraviolet colors emitted by the spider’s silky strands. The spider’s web, one can conclude, was created more for the experience of spiders and insects, than for ours. Likewise, a person, place or thing that may appear to someone else as unattractive and colorless, to us may appear as an irresistible array of vivid colors to which we are wildly attracted. The reason for the difference in this perception and attraction, is not because of some implicit difference or value in the person, place or thing being experienced, but rather because our individual souls each require a different experience. To one observer, a certain idea, person, place or thing is necessary for the experience of their soul, and thus they are attracted to it. To another, it is not necessary, and thus there is no attraction. Many of us, however, use such differences in attractions and perceptions as a tool of the ego, rather than as a defining tool of the soul. We often judge the choices made by others as good or bad, as right or

wrong, or as less than our own. Or we judge someone’s choices or ideas as not being spiritual, or as not having soul. Applying our own judgments to the choices made by others allows us to unconsciously elevate ourselves above others and feel an illusionary sense of power, much like the elevated judge in the courtroom. In doing so, however, we ignore the fact that the attractions, perceptions and choices made by others, despite how we might judge them, are necessary for their soul’s experience, and not our own. An important step towards deconstructing the prison walls of illusion is directing your focus to understanding and pursuing courageously your own attractions through judgment experienced as choice, rather than allowing judgment to become an external experience used to acquire inauthentic power. When you can do so, then you place yourself squarely on the path to personal transformation. For the truly powerful being is not the one who can easily understand or speak of spiritual matters, but rather is the one who can easily recognize the divinity that exists in all things.

“I love the way you take the protocol and turn it into a living life model. It’s wonderful. You’re working with it to enhance your lives as well as make your weight manageable and health stronger. At first look, the protocol is limiting, but your book has a unique way of making this a lively approach to health and wellness. It no longer seems limiting. I’ve read the other books and done the protocol. This work is unique because it is all about losing the weight and living a lighter and happier life. No better way to shake cravings and learn. It truly links mind, body, spirit and holistic insights. I’ve tried the injections and the homeopathic drops you offer. I found the drops easier and just as effective. But this book is a great way to invest the time suddenly freed from cravings...great job!” —Cynthia


HCG has been called a miracle weight-loss formula. For the first time, an affordable homeopathic remedy, formulated to free the body of stubborn fat is now available to you in easy-to-use drops. My husband lost 30 pounds and I lost 16. We are so grateful, since I have not been at this weight in so long, I actually did not think it was possible...I really loved the simplicity of it, and the most miraculous thing is that acid reflux is a thing of the past. I just don’t believe it, and just never thought THAT was possible. I had horrible chronic acid reflux, the type where everywhere I went I had to take some immediate remedy since I never knew when it would raise its ugly head. I was constantly looking for new remedies and really tried everything natural and otherwise, for literally years, and it is completely gone. I think the fat around my belly was pushing things up every time I ate. I can now actually have a cup of coffee and not worry. It really is a miracle, and

I just needed this simple and results producing event! The great thing was to be constantly motivated by the ongoing weight loss. Even though I did not lose as much as my husband, I feel I did well with all the health issues, hormone, thyroid and otherwise that I have to deal with. We are in our transition phase right now, and doing our best just to stabilize what we have done. My husband actually lost a couple more pounds. I went up a couple and am back down, but for now, I am just happy being at 150, which for me, is truly amazing. I am really grateful that I could go get some new pants in a matter of minutes, and not have to be drooling over clothes for hours, feeling nothing looked that great! THANK SO MUCH!!!!! —S.B.

I weighed 150 lbs. when I started the HCG diet and now I weigh 133 lbs. I wore size 10 pants and now I wear size 6. I lost the weight without having to go to the gym. I eat healthier and make better choices when I go out to eat. Weighing myself daily helped me see what made me gain weight. I gain weight when I eat bread and other food that has wheat in it. If I eat it then I know I will weigh a little more the next day. I had tried other diets but they didn’t work. I lost 6 lbs on one diet but then I gained it back. Felicia and Tony have been helpful with answering any questions that I have about the drops and the diet.

I have done the HCG protocol several times to lose a total of 40 pounds. Most importantly, I weigh what I did in high school and I feel great! My knees and feet no longer ache and I have more energy for life. The HCG protocol has eliminated the bad cravings and habits I had around food. I have tracked my weight steadily for the past 18 months and this habit alone has helped make my weight-loss permanent. I can’t fool myself: the scale never lies! —A.J.C.

Broken Places By Leslie Green

Inanimate objects break all the time. Some we wouldn’t even consider trying to fix.

broken? Broken hearts, broken spirits, just plain broken…yet we mend. And often times, we mend stronger in precisely the place we were broken. By the mere nature of being human, we are resilient. We adapt. We rebuild. And those of us who are fortunate, as we gather our broken bits, we learn all the while – making us stronger in those exact areas.

Take these pictures, for instance: In looking closely at each one, I think we’d all agree that there would be no use in trying to mend, bind, glue, or otherwise repair any of them. However, this is not so with humans. As Ernest Hemingway said: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.” How is this so? How is it, that in our human-ness, we can withstand being

Here’s a true story, one I think many can relate to. In high school, I was crazy about this guy. Long story short, he broke my heart, or so I thought. After a few weeks (or was it months?) of being sad and feeling broken, a blessing occurred; I call it ‘flipping the lightswitch.’ Nothing prompted the light-switch. I mean, I wasn’t trying to solve any problem or figure anything out, it just flipped. And that day, as it flipped, I knew that he hadn’t really broken my heart, he hadn’t done anything tome at all. I had been misdirecting my energy. It was as simple as that. The light-switch, as I’ve come to know

it, is Truth. The truth was he had been in my life for a reason, the relationship ended, and I learned from it. I learned to recognize and own my part (mend). I learned that going forward I would allow certain behaviors and not others (mend, mend). And I’m happy to say that since learning these lessons, little to no mending has been necessary after subsequent break ups. I was indeed stronger in the place I had been broken. Whether it’s a broken heart, a broken spirit, or broken trust – remember these words, “…and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.” Are you the Some Hemingway was referring to? If not, what would it take to cause a shift so you too can be stronger at the broken places? Because the breaks will happen. As for being stronger at the broken places, breathe into it. Your light-switch will flip when you’re ready to receive the blessing. In the meantime, trust. My name is Leslie Green. I understand that for many, Trusting Life is easier said than done. For that reason, I write true stories that illustrate how I, as well as others, have learned to Let Go and Trust Life Today. I am someone who seeks Truth, yet also someone who realizes there is actually no seeking involved – it all lies within.

Your Spring Stars by Cynthia Novak

O

n your mark. Ready to reset? It’s time to reload...let’s go! We begin this season with Mercury retrograde, but about to go forward. Mars also begins to move forward on April 13th. Then Venus moves forward, takes some time to reflect on love and money in the past, then moves forward again at the end of June. There is no better season to dust off your plans for the future, while learning from the past. Venus and Saturn are strong all season. Anchor your heart in real-life commitment and build your life and love on solid and fertile soil. The season begins with us “getting real” while we reload and get ready to go forward. The only caveat: be generous with your heart and your resources. If you are acting out of greed, then you may fall quickly from actions past or present. That’s Saturn for you: he reminds us that life in a body is limited, while simple gifts are limitless.

This season, reboot your resolutions and reload your optimism. Mars has been in the constellation Leo (in Vedic or crossing from Leo to Virgo in the western Zodiac) since November 1, 2011. If Mars happened to hit your personal planets, then you are ready for a break, maybe even a breakup, but probably not a breakdown. Mars is all about action. Some folks took up a sport and are now more proficient. It is tempting to really push it, but there is nothing quite like a strain or a sprain to slow you down. By the end of this season, many of us have learned how to listen to our body no matter how seductive adrenaline can be. You see, we are relearning aspects of love, money, passion, and persistence. The dark side of this season’s Venus and Mars is denial that the body or spending really does have limits.

April brings the promise of life. Venus enters the constellation Taurus where she is oh, so, comfy! She is the goddess of love. She has a weakness for sweets and is known historically for her vanity and jealousy. That hasn’t changed much. Only now we celebrate the “skinny body”. What is a goddess to do? Well, she can dust off her ego and enter the world full of confidence. Mars appears to stop in the heavens on the 13th and then move forward. That means that he is literally standing still all month. There is an alternative to starving for months; you can dust off your dancing shoes and get moving. The combination of Venus and Mars energy lends itself to the push-pull, lead-follow dance of the sexes. I didn’t say which gender was leading‚ but it is important to get moving. It is a great month to reset your metabolism. On another note: Mars is not happy about doing taxes. He appeared to stop or “station” on Feb 13th. Folks will be late even with two extra days to file. By the way, these planets are really good for the economy and spending in general. Once Mars moves forward the economy gets stronger and should be good for retail and even resale. Yes, I mean real estate.

May is the month of the goddess herself. On the 5th, Venus appears to stop in the heavens and go backward. She isn’t alone. The Sun joins Venus in the constellation Taurus on the 14th and Jupiter enters on the 17th. Even Mercury pulls into Taurus on the 21st. Ketu, or the South Node of the Moon, is already there. That sets the stage for a Solar Eclipse on the 20th. When Ketu is involved it’s time to take care: if you turn your back on responsibility there is a karmic cost to pursuing your desires. Mercury is about communication. This spring we quickly learn the cost of our words and actions on our bank

accounts. Not only Rush Limbaugh, but we all get a sense that words matter and there is a karmic price to pay for nasty name calling. With Venus, there is more charm, but the potential for harm and the consequences with Ketu are high. What is the antidote? Conscious, heartcentered communication or a sincere apology if you happen to do harm. Venus in Taurus can bring her very best. She is the planet, in Vedic astrology, that signifies the greatest or highest sense of spiritual consciousness and the depths of self-centered greed. Whew! Talk about highs and lows. Find your inner Mother Theresa and bring her with you when you go to the meeting. Can you be compassionate to “those” folks? What if they are voting for the “other” guy? There will be loads of cash flowing to the respective political parties and their candidates. However, with Ketu in Taurus there are karmic strings that will become visible within the next few months. Many of them are already appearing in the news. However, for most of us, it’s a matter of what we earn and what we share. Venus retrogrades on May 5th, but will move forward on June 27th. Yes, she is still in Taurus and yes, we get to see her depths of greed, however, she is at her heights of selfless compassion. Would it be too much to ask politicians to wear patches to identify their benefactors much like Nascar drivers do? That wasn’t my original thought, but it would be the ultimate Truth in advertising for all elected officials. Unfortunately, it won’t happen, but it would be fascinating to follow the money and see where it ends up. The Retrograde Venus and the Ketu dominated eclipse may well bring out financial scandal within a few months. Sometimes retrograde planets are good at hiding or in the case of Venus, charming deception so skillfully that it sounds reasonable. It is time to ask and expect more.

The Solar Eclipse on May 20th is a total eclipse. It’s a big one. It occurs at 6:47pm CDT. It begins in Western China


HolisticNetworker.com

and travels to the Texas Panhandle. We should get a look. Nations beneath the eclipse path tend to be in the news for several months even after the eclipse moves into history. It is no surprise; these areas are in the news now. Hopefully the news will be positive and not all about China holding the strings to our economy or aggressive actions. Eclipse periods bring Market ups and downs. All that emotion is reflected in our faith or fear for the financial future.

June brings us back to face our resolutions and reboot our enthusiasm. Finally, things begun in late 2011 are coming to fruition. Rework your resume and push ahead. Folks are looking for new talent and appreciate your excitement. Mars will leave the constellation Leo on the 22nd. It’s been a long 7 months. Like the end of spring, he leaves behind those who didn’t fit and makes an opening for a new face: Reapply. Venus appears to stop in the heavens on the 27th, which suggests that long-lost lovers will resurface in this month of weddings. Is that a bad sign for a June wedding? Not at all! When Venus is strong, then it’s good for all sides of Venus. Keep an eye on your budget, but do find a way to look your best. Even when you are certain you know who’s on the guest list, you may be surprised by what your heart knows when your head long forgot. This is another strong month for finances: Money is moving.

Spring 2012 29

Politics & World Affairs: Romney’s chart still has the best overall transits of the Republicans. Gingrich had heavy “karmic” aspects in March as did President Obama. “We the People” now look back at how each man handled his past. The irony of these races is how little we actually hear about their respective plans for the future of the nation. Once the big cash flowed in it seems the tabloid journal style took over. I would love to see each prospective President give his plan, but that seems unlikely so I’ll say that I hope for a leader who will do the right thing for the nation rather than his party. Maybe that’s Venus and Jupiter talking. Mid-May through June is the time when the candidates and the President will be tested on an International event. It is most likely to come from Iran. It’s tricky business to pick the next President. This election is unusually difficult. Obama doesn’t have the most wonderful aspects, but his feelings about the job are probably very mixed. I suspect that he would gratefully resign and move into post-Presidency status. In our society, that is where wealth and respect seem to find our Presidents. It would not surprise me if there were more surprises as the election moves on. As I write this Santorum is in the news and gaining. Unfortunately, I do not have his time of birth. However, I do not believe he will make it through the primaries. Uranus on his Venus suggests a big surprise, but the nature of Uranus is innately unpredictable.

I suspect more bluster than bombs from Iran and Israel, but the final pass of Mars through Leo on the President of Iran’s Jupiter is an arrogant and daring transit. It also triggers President Obama’s chart. Iran will push him and he will respond.

Obamacare: as I write this I do not know what the Supreme Court will rule. I suspect that they will revisit the constitutionality of President Obama’s health care legislation at a later time. I do not believe they will rule in its favor, nor totally against it. I do know that the transits for the President are very difficult and karmic this spring. However, in the summer he begins a new cycle. How he makes that transition and how he presents his vision for the nation will be very important. Romney has better aspects in November. I’m hoping the conversation will be focused on the good of the nation and not on the tabloidready sound bites that the PACs will pour over us until the election.

Saturn is strong and wise and should help the economy grow. In politics, we all need the wisdom of Saturn to endure the spin without being swayed by tabloidlike lies. Saturn is a truth teller. It is time to clearly follow the facts and to use the word “lie” wisely when it applies. We each must expect or demand facts, no matter how weary we are of the deluge of discrepancies.
