Remember -- it's not over till the fat lady sings.  Call me the minute the trouble begins (most common:  "he said he needed space") and let me help you through it, step-by-step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few of the tips from &lt;a href="http://www.psychiccenter.com/TelephonyMSN/Phone/UserGuide.aspx?Des=ART1&amp;Af=-1000"&gt;Psychic Center&lt;/a&gt; on how to obtain a good psychic reading. Some of the tips are (1) Prepare yourself for the reading. Make a list of questions, and choose a clear focus. This makes it easier for the psychic to access your energy.; and (2) Choose your time and place carefully. A quiet space where you won't be interrupted is best. Make sure you are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the reading, and avoid getting a reading during a crisis - unless you want the reading to focus on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of their "DON'T" tips is not to settle for a psychic who isn't right for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have me as your Personal Astrologer and Psychic, you eliminate a lot of the "don'ts".  The main purpose of my readings if to let you know what is likely to happen IF you do/don't do something.  There is always free will regardless of karma.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had some clients for decades.  The more I read for you, the better I can read for you.  I'm sure you can see why that applies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to help people, so please let me help you with your most pressing issues -- love, money, getting the right guy/gal, getting her/him to come back, something about your child ... whatever it is, a reading can help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc to schedule your reading.  I offer FREE mini-readings.  Just mention this offer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very powerful transit became November 15, and if you're feeling waves in your ocean right now -- either because of what's happened to you, or to someone near you -- let me help you figure it out.  This transit is a chance for real transformation.  We're calling it the "Do or Die" transit.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get it??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.psychiccenter.com/TelephonyMSN/Phone/UserGuide.aspx?Des=ART1&amp;Af=-1000"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-596417106703647917?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/596417106703647917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=596417106703647917&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/596417106703647917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/596417106703647917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/12/having-your-own-personal-psychic.html' title='Having your own personal psychic'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SxcfHTTKlHI/AAAAAAAAAgk/5HySaP9OJzo/s72-c/brunhilde.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-311601994768746844</id><published>2009-12-01T21:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T22:01:35.704-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='full moon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='full moon December 2009'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astrology reading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Uranus'/><title type='text'>Full Moon December 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SxYCmpsADeI/AAAAAAAAAgc/dJdvpj-G1-Y/s1600-h/perspective.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SxYCmpsADeI/AAAAAAAAAgc/dJdvpj-G1-Y/s200/perspective.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410514865380920802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one killer Full Moon going on.  My phone has been ringing off the hook.&lt;br /&gt;And stay tuned because we'll be having a Blue Moon on December 31, New Year's Eve.  Pow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI, the Moon represents the dark and the unknown -- the mysterious emotional depths that can be hidden even from ourselves.  So the Full Moon can bring out the Shadow side.  Like the werewolves, ya know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Full Moon is in Gemini - communication, changeability, short trips, and anything of a mercurial nature, and Mercury, the planet of communication, that rules Gemini in also active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've had today - and tomorrow - experiences with people where there has been impulsivity, hasty speech and heightened nerves and tension, you aren't alone.  Explosive outbursts of all kinds.  And if you're a nervous little thing to begin with, I bet you got real nervous today.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This combines with Uranus changing direction (innovation and change), and this is a time when a big change can occur for you.  Either imposed upon you, or one you make yourself -- if you were prepared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowledge is power and nowhere does this apply as in astrology.  Let me give you a reading.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a time when many BIG changes will occur (Look at Oprah. Look at Tiger Woods.  Look into your own life, or the life of your neighbor.)

This is one transit.  Let me read your chart, give you a transit reading, and be your personal psychic and astrologer.

They both have a sign around their neck that says "take what you want."  They're intention in having sex is to have a good time and by that I mean a refreshing lack of religious scruples, hygiene issues, guilt, remorse, or even second thoughts.

I have been helping people 'market' on the Internet, for free, for over a decade.

Kids home from school.  &lt;strong&gt;In Texas, a month of days over 100 degrees&lt;/strong&gt;.  Car trips with rest stops that are crowded and unplesant and there's too much junk food.  Or not getting a vacation at all.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most cases, we are spending more time with family -- kids home from school, relatives visiting, trips to see cousins, vacations -- and nerves are on edge.  Throw in a Cancer moon, an eclipse and you have a combustible mix along about now.  Oh yes, and the Pleiades soon (August 12).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It isn't called The Dog Days of Summer for nothing!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try using I-STATEMENTS.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People try and get us in to "control" battles about things we really can't.  Try saying what YOU will do or allow, not trying to tell THEM what to do.  It shares control and gives options.  It 's enforceable, because it's about you. Here are some examples.  Share yours!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;My car leaves at 2 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;I'll be happy to buy ice cream cones for people who clean up their rooms.  &lt;br /&gt;I have lunch with people who are pleasant. &lt;br /&gt;I'll take you to the ___ when I don't have to worry about fighting in the back seat.&lt;br /&gt;in the back seat.&lt;br /&gt;I'll listen when your voice is as calm as mine is. &lt;br /&gt;I keep the toys I have to pick up.  You can keep the ones you pick up. &lt;br /&gt;I'll enjoy buying you clothes that I feel are appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;I'll be happy to listen to you as soon as Mom and I finish our conversation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give the other person a choice, using statements like the ones above.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay particular attention to this with fire and cardinal signs during this time period.  Fire signs are ready to explode, and cardinal signs are ... well ... cardinal signs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last point.  We all know about these statements.  They aren't "natural" and usually we read about them and pass them on.  The trick is to keep them fresh, and make sure your tone of voice doesn't become mocking or sarcastic.  Give them a real chance to work.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-3301288138039568851?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/3301288138039568851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=3301288138039568851&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3301288138039568851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3301288138039568851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/08/pleiades-coming-up.html' title='Pleiades Coming Up'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/Sno2MsDr-9I/AAAAAAAAAfs/JodoI6TD0tg/s72-c/meteor+shower.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-7505372191804422135</id><published>2009-08-05T09:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-05T10:14:30.243-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resilience'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boundin&apos;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='forging ahead'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bouncing back'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='august'/><title type='text'>Boundin' - August is time to bounce back and move ahead</title><content type='html'>Bounce back.

Think back to what was going on with you in 1998 ... whatever it was you were planning, praying for, hoping for, and have been working for, that has seemed elusive, will come to fruition with the conjuncts going on in August.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been over 100 degrees for days in south Texas.  People are exhausted.  Tempers are short.  Energy is unavailable.  It's been step-by-step, day-by-day.  Looking for relief. Suddenly you will turn and see that it has happened.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's about to come.  Find our with a reading how this pertains to you as an individual.  Your chart is unique.  You are unique.

We are standing at a crossroads, such as occurs only every so often.  We have what might be called a crisis, or series of crises all entertwined -- global economy, global ecosystem, and each individual's global ecosystem.  Everywhere we go there are concerns about finances and health, values and priorities.  Someone creates a "green" bag out of 100% cotton, imprinted with "not plastic," and then we research what it takes to grow enough cotton to make such a bag -- how much land, water, fertilizer, PESTICIDES. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the answer?  Globally, and, because things start at home, for YOU.  You chose to incarnate at the time you did for a reason.  Let me give you a free mini-Spiritual Life Purpose report.

Don't let it trip you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Stanton felt the moral of the film was "Irrational love defeats life's programming." He continued "That's a perfect metaphor for real life. We all fall into our habits, our routines and our ruts, consciously or unconsciously to avoid living. To avoid having to do the messy part. To avoid having relationships with other people, of dealing with the person next to us. That's why we can all get on our cell phones and not have to deal with one another."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement is about WALL-E, an old Pixar movie I happened to watch last week when at a friend's house.  Not surprisingly, this coincided with a church sermon I heard last month, where the minister said, from the pulpit, that "families are messy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Messy?  Emotions are the stuff of life.  And that's part of what these eclipses are asking us to deal with. You can only go so long without "dealing" with them, healing them.  Some of our trouble with "messy emotions" can be karma.  But why not deal with this in this lifetime.  The upcoming lunar eclipse could be just the time.

Some people, it will make nervous.  You want to avoid this, because this lunar eclipse can bring clarity.  Remain in the present and let it do its magic.  Focus yourself in the present by asking yourself questions like "How do I feel (right now)?"  What do I see RIGHT NOW?"  The trick is to stay where you are, see what you see, literally in front of you, touch what you can touch ...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan Millman put it this way (which of course was not news to Einstein...and others):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Time is a paradox stretching between a “past” and “future” that have no reality except in our own minds. The idea of time is a convention of thought and language, a social agreement. Here is the deeper truth: We have only this moment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We waste so much time and energy "worrying."  We waste so much time thinking back to the past and licking old wounds, looking at tomorrow and imagining insults.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trie, but I like it:  That's why today is called "the present."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a free introductory email mini-reading, email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc .

Lunar, then Solar, now Lunar again - penumbral lunar eclipse, August 5th, Washington time.  It will occur at 13°43' of Aquarius.  Generally more likely to effect our private lives this one may be more social, being in Aquarius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may create the same energies as the preceding eclipses, one more visit.  But this is generally favorable.  I see this one mostly as "more rest."  The past 4-6 weeks have brought a lot of exhaustion ... with the eclipse will come rest, and then rejuvenation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Moon in Aquarius will trigger imagination, and in those less stable, or vulnerable - nervousness, mood swings.  It is not a good time to make an 'emotional' commitment such as getting married or engaged.  Also you could have some things happen that seem just plain "strange".

Got the idea from an Italian friend of mine.  Of course I embellished it a little!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the total solar eclipse is over, there's almost a gaiety, a sense of relief in the air.  It's an especiall good time for Tauruses.  I heard a Taurus yesterday talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas - where to go, what to do, who to spend it with.  She's looking for a bargain cruise out of Newport News or Baltimore.  If you hear of one, let me know (sdunn@susandunn.cc) and I'll pass the news on.  As a psychic, I think the best deals are going to be out of Galveston.  (Don't worry about hurricanes ... but email me for a reading if you want particulars.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, jumping the season a little, here's an article you might find helpful -- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://psychyclub.com/693693-The-Top-10-Ways-to-Have-an-Emotionally-Intelligent-Night-Before.html"&gt;The Top 10 Ways to Have an Emotionally Intelligent Night before Christmas&lt;/a&gt;

The heat?  The time of year?  Someone's particular chart or planets?  It's hard to say, but all this week I have heard people trying to express their frustration at "technology."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millie said she couldn't take it any more, that first it was channel 22 and then channel 22-dash-1.  We had no idea what she was talking about.  Which sort of says what it says. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An article by Maureen Dowd appeared in the local Falls Church News-Press.  She wrote about cell phones in "Whirling Dervish Drivers."  A sobering piece that points out the "hidden" research showing that there are "negligible differences" in car accident risk whether you are holding a cell phone or hands-free.  It is just plain dangerous.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The law in D. C. now is that you can't drive holding your cell phone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me, trying to figure out this laptop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us need help with the gadgets in our life that have become increasingly necessary, and can dominate our lives, overwhelming us, our money and our free time.  How could you go without a cell phone these days??  Or a laptop?  (Dowd calls us addicts .. she says the tech industry is our drug dealer "Feeing the intense social  and economic pressure to stay constantly in touch with employers, colleagues, friends and family," and that drivers found it easier to drive drunk than to drive while using a phone -- in hands, or not.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Harvard professor of psychiatry, John Ratey, who specializes in the science of attention says that using digital decies gives us "a dopamine squirt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're all using them ... we're all worried about their effects ... we're all having the highs and lows ... and we're all having to ask help from others ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are THE TOP 10 THINGS NOT TO SAY WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU FOR HELP WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  #^&amp;$*)%&lt;br /&gt;2.  Why do you need it anyway?&lt;br /&gt;3.  Read the manual.&lt;br /&gt;4.  Okay, when I can get to it ... [and then never do]&lt;br /&gt;5.  Why don't you ask ....&lt;br /&gt;6.  Don't ask me, I don't know anything about them either.&lt;br /&gt;7.  I hate it when someone asks me for help with their computer.&lt;br /&gt;8.  If you'd listened to me the first time ...&lt;br /&gt;9.  Didn't you ask the ____, or ___, how that works?&lt;br /&gt;10. Why don't you just buy a new one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last one is the cruelest.  If the person asking you had tons of money they wouldn't be ASKING YOU.  They'd be calling ComputerNerdz, or the local equivalent, or JUST BUYING A NEW ONE.  (Except that doesn't work either.  Every time someone comes to fix my computer, they fix that problem, but screw up something else.  I am heartened that now the tech has a checklist before he leaves my office - it works, sorta.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, this total solar eclipse is already showing its promise for being a real turning point.  I think it was presaged when I went through Breeze/something on my way from D. C. to Chicago, I can't even remember its name, a crossroads, that's all it was - Breezeport, Pa, Breezewood ... it doesn't even show on the map, but you know it's at the crossroads that we exchange all our information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solar eclipse should have ENDED something fo you, something that needed ENDING. The "about" lady calls it "this long summer of upheaval."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we are entering a calmer time period, emotions are easier and positive, it is easier to communicate ... so why not take the time to help someone today.  It's karma, you know.  Sooner or later we all need help, so take some time tomorrow to help someone - whether it's opening a door for a person with a cast on the leg, actually giving directions to one of the tourists who has flooded your home town, someone at the convenience store who doesn't speak English, your Mother calling for help with her computer, or your partner needing a back rub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put some good karma out there!  Remember, during this calmer time period, your emotional intelligence - there are many reasons why it's "good" to help others.  Not the least reason being that it makes us feel good.  I think it also gives "a dopamine squirt."  After struggling for an hour over a computer problem of my own, I went to visit a friend, and her daughter asked me to edit her English paper.  I did.  Why?  It makes me feel good to help others.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good deeds.  Pass it forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, for a free mini-reading on results of the Total Solar Eclipse, email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc .  New clients only for this special offer.

A courageous man with charisma.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, July 23rd, is Leon Fleisher's birthday.  Reports vary as to why, but after a promising career as a pianist, suddenly Leon was unable to use his right hand.  He struggled with depression, treatments, a survery which failed, failed marriages ... found joy again in teaching and conducting, and playing one-hand pieces; and finally, after 30 years, was able to use his right hand again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a free email reading, email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-1609348657550565740?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/1609348657550565740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=1609348657550565740&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1609348657550565740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1609348657550565740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/07/leon-fleishers-birthday-inspiration.html' title='Leon Fleisher&apos;s Birthday - an Inspiration'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SmkTbG_DpzI/AAAAAAAAAe8/ddaxSRZjsUw/s72-c/leon_fleisher.6239.31832.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-4058045680264290996</id><published>2009-07-10T14:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T14:44:53.607-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scorpio men'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astrology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='total solar sclipse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astrology reading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scorpio male'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scorpio man'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lunar eclipse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solar eclipse July 22'/><title type='text'>Help!

In this case Scorpio MEN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What is going on with them&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;Many of my calls and reading lately have been about someone who has to deal with a Scorpio male. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Full moon, and the lunar eclipse have not helped matters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically speaking (specific charts, of course, are different), Scorpio males are going through a period of not knowing what they want and this is extremely stressful for (1) a male (2) a Scorpio (3) a fixed sign.  Being intense and secretive, the Scorpio man, unless highly-evolved, simply does not have the practice with words to make communicate easy.  So to be confused, and then be confused about what to say about, brings that famous TAIL around to anyone who comes close enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call for a reading on specifics if you are a Scorpio man or dealing with a Scorpio male.  (I KNOW you need HELP RIGHT NOW.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are staggering out from under those, this is a good time for a reading.  On July 22 we will have a total solar eclipse, total eclipse of the sun.  That is very rare, and significant astrologically of course.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please get a reading if you are a Leo, a sun sign.  Information is power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, while things are churning, remember these wise words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work." - William Arthur Ward&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-4058045680264290996?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/4058045680264290996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=4058045680264290996&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4058045680264290996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4058045680264290996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/07/help-my-scorpio-man-is-driving-me-nuts.html' title='Help!

Some guy has written that he doesn't have trouble getting dates, but he can't get past the first date.  She writes back: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In our time-crunched society, it seems that no one wants to waste any time with the Wrong One. If you think about dating in this way, it puts you under so much pressure that it can make it even more difficult to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep these guidelines in mind--they will increase your chances of a great first date: Keep it casual and low-key. Save your extravagant gestures until after you know each other better.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of her other tips are good, like "Treat a discussion like a tennis game—you’re exchanging information. Smile, and keep it light and flirtatious, upbeat and positive. You should be talking about half the time." but that first part sure doesn't work for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, one thing she said was really true - if I don't want to get romantically involved with the guy, I &lt;strong&gt;definitely&lt;/strong&gt; insist on paying for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think she's off-base on that first one.  In our "time-crunched society," I don't want a guy who's ticking off the notches on his belt buckle, and throwing out  one-liners in a Starbucks.  In fact if a guy asks me for coffee at Starbucks, he's off my list.  I expect him to be selective, and if he arrives at me, to take me out somewhere really nice and impress me, which includes being able to handle the "pressure" of an upscale rather formal dinner engagement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Leo who's claws are out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Leo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree, that's the perfect way to court a Lioness.  Perhaps the only way -- guys, take heed.  Leos are the Queens of the Jungle, after all.  What they require might overwhelm a Cancer gal, and totally miss the mark with a Pisces gal.  And, with the shoe on the other foot, may be totally beyond an Aquarius male to deliver.  Everyone gets to go to Starbucks, for the Aquarius - fair is fair.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go back to that old song, "If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal.  If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel."  All Leo gals had a rich dad; because it's all about the royal treatment. Money isn't really what it's about.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy should know how to treat different signs and/or what he's getting in to with what signs.  He also should know about his own sign and chart, which is &lt;strong&gt;uniquely individual&lt;/strong&gt;.  There's a very wise saying:  "Never give advice in a crowd."  Call me (817-734-1471) or email me (sdunn@susandunn.cc) to set up an appointment for a reading.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to help you hone your dating skills.  I bring couples together and help them stay together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-1684203295010094362?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/1684203295010094362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=1684203295010094362&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1684203295010094362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1684203295010094362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-do-you-treat-leo.html' title='How do you treat a Leo'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SiD2_5kWP4I/AAAAAAAAAek/vQgZ2OSea0Y/s72-c/Leo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-3194464069953228219</id><published>2009-05-25T17:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T17:10:14.661-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='karma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='psychic reading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='doorstep'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wearing a hair shirt'/><title type='text'>Wearing a Hair Shirt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/Shsxz-klsUI/AAAAAAAAAeU/Pem4Ycp29nk/s1600-h/hairshirt+cilice.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 86px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/Shsxz-klsUI/AAAAAAAAAeU/Pem4Ycp29nk/s200/hairshirt+cilice.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339916552217407810" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To wear a hair shirt, literally, used to be an act of penance.

When I first moved into my condo, I put seasonal door decorations out front.  Through my many months here, I never noticed anyone else doing it, so as time went by, I quit doing it, and just left my doorstep plain.  Well, I move this month, and my new neighbor has moved in - and look at what she has done.  Finally I get a neighbor who likes a homey-look?  Well, I'm not wearing a hairshirt about it, I just think it's kind of neat.  I think actually it's Spirit passing on the torch.  Now she will be here, as I am leaving.  And isn't her doorstep lovely?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call me to schedule a psychic reading, or to have your chart done.  817-734-1471.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-3194464069953228219?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/3194464069953228219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=3194464069953228219&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3194464069953228219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3194464069953228219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/05/wearing-hair-shirt.html' title='Wearing a Hair Shirt'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/Shsxz-klsUI/AAAAAAAAAeU/Pem4Ycp29nk/s72-c/hairshirt+cilice.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-7592285765668311705</id><published>2009-05-24T12:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-24T13:51:58.404-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='london'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='capthorn hotel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='psychic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='D.C.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concierge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astrologer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barcelona'/><title type='text'>The Concierge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShmnX4KF9hI/AAAAAAAAAeE/qSZtNpfNYLo/s1600-h/Copy+of+European+Traveler+March+09+193.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShmnX4KF9hI/AAAAAAAAAeE/qSZtNpfNYLo/s200/Copy+of+European+Traveler+March+09+193.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339482861877982738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;APPROACHING THE CONCIERGE DESK FOR HELP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love concierges.  I wish they were everywhere, don't you?  I think of what I do as kind of being a concierge.  I help people find their path, give directions, point out signposts, point out obstacles and routes around them.  You can learn so much by having your natal chart or spiritual life purpose chart done, or in a reading.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABOUT CONCIERFES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Bladewell, at the Capthorne in London, was terrific.  They took me to the wrong hotel, which I learned at 11 pm at night, after 15 hours air travel, and by the time I got to the Capthorne, I was so grateful to see his smiling face.  He picked up the phone, and wouldn't take "no" for an answer.  He made sure the tour bus would come for me in the morning, found me an adapter for my hotel room, showed me where I could eat at midnight, got a box breakfast for me for the morning, and got me a refund for the cab fare over there.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xavier, at the Barcelona Hotel was also outstanding.  He did not know the word "no."  The only things he knew how to say were "Yes," and "Yes, I can do that for you."  Fantastic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I queued up in line, and while I was there, he found an Internet site for someone, changed a plane ticket, fixed a hotel overcharge, &lt;strong&gt;ran upstairs with me to personally fix my hotel safe&lt;/strong&gt;, got Flamenco tickets for someone, hailed a cab, got a group of strangers together to share cab fare somewhere, ordered a pizza, recommended a spy, gave directions, handed out maps (always had the right one right there), rebooted the computer, asked someone not to butt in line, and spoke 3 languages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a great concept.  I think it's essential in today's world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, it's spreading.  I went to buy my new cell phone yesterday, and there's nothing wrong with the cell phone business.  The store was mobbed, and my head was mobbed with thoughts of - learn new cell phone, reprogram numbers, sim card, fuss and bother. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was met at the door by a smiling young man who said, "What do you need today?

Men particularly tell the one about the guy who writes in his journal "JAC" -- just another cathedral.&lt;br /&gt;It is not "alert the press" that males and females are different. It was very obvious on the Russian cruise how exciting locks are to men, while the women watched us go through the first one, and then went on to other things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But back to cathedrals. There are the cathedrals you really must see in your lifetime, if you are lucky enough to be able to -- Notre Dame, Chartres. I would add the one in Siena, Italy. My father liked the one in Bruges, Belgium. You may have one of your own, and truly theirs no need to have a "favorite". But after that, you &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; get tired of it; tired of the &lt;em&gt;thought&lt;/em&gt; of it. Especially if you aren't very "aesthetic" -- if you don't appreciate beauty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, all jokes aside, it is one of those things that impresses you in its absence. When I took the tour of Cannes, France, we toured the town by bus and then they dumped us off in the resort/city area. Yachts lining the harbor on the left. Rows and rows of places for us to shop and spend money on the right. And in the mid-area, I plopped myself down in a cafe to people-watch. (I'll add here that it is no place to people-watch. Not very interesting and mostly people who are obviously tourists, i.e., you'd see the same thing back home.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That having been said, I sipped my capucino and began to feel a little disoriented. I thought to myself, "Where's the church? The cathedral?" It just didn't feel like I was in a town, something with a center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I will be driving from Tx to D.C. and I am planning to spend 2 nights in Asheville. I want to take the train through the Smokies, and drive the "scenic Blue Ridge Parkway." After all, I've done the Amalfi and the Grand Corniche. But here is something else I will include, and listen to how they describe it:  "Completed in 1909, the Basilica of St. Lawrence D.M. is one of Asheville's architectural treasures &lt;strong&gt;and spiritual anchors&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What your "spiritual anchor" is, is up to you. But if you want to be enjoy good health (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual), you'd best have one.  It grounds you, balances you, and reminds you how to make choices at every turn in the road. It's just so helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'd like to know your Spiritual Life Purpose, right be for a report.  It can help you anchor your life in ways you can't imagine.  sdunn@susandunn.cc &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-5131212036777556987?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/5131212036777556987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=5131212036777556987&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/5131212036777556987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/5131212036777556987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-is-your-anchor.html' title='What is Your Anchor?'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShjXkIkZ-8I/AAAAAAAAAd8/ZafJTnu6yN4/s72-c/My+Trip+to+Barcelona,+Italy,+France,+Malta+043.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-4464621659462476895</id><published>2009-05-22T13:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-22T13:49:40.647-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Does this mean that ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShcPpMa95qI/AAAAAAAAAd0/OxNewBq70bw/s1600-h/depressed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 234px; height: 350px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShcPpMa95qI/AAAAAAAAAd0/OxNewBq70bw/s400/depressed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338753083654399650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today's mailbag:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q:  I am planning to move halfway across the country.  Since it meant having time off between jobs (so rare!), I decided to travel to France.  While I was there, someone stole all my identity papers -- passport, driver's license, all my credit cards, everything.  I know it's Mercury Retrograde, but does this mean the move is ill-fated?  Things certainly went wrong on the trip.  It seems like it's a message not to move.  That's what my sister says, but I know she doesn't want me to move, so I don't know what to think.  Panicing in Poughkeepsie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A:  No. I'm glad you wrote me for a reading. In looking at your chart, and with Saturn straightening out, I would say it means it is time for "a new you," just the sort of thing that will happen with this move you told me about.  A new identity, even.  Spirit just sent you the message that way.  Having the houses where you do in your chart, that is the best interpretation.  Check in for another reading soon.  When you're emotional and nervous about something, and those around you are too, it's easy to misinterpret things.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-4464621659462476895?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/4464621659462476895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=4464621659462476895&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4464621659462476895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4464621659462476895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/05/does-this-mean-that.html' title='Does this mean that ...'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/ShcPpMa95qI/AAAAAAAAAd0/OxNewBq70bw/s72-c/depressed.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-2043205108274684409</id><published>2009-05-18T07:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-18T07:31:46.427-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Do more than be fair: be kind</title><content type='html'>As Saturn goes direct, and you figure out what you learned, and prepare for action steps ... and muddle along with Mercury Retrograde, think about:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do more than belong: participate.

I asked about getting a new one.  At the end of the call I was asked to take a survey.  They asked some very good questions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first one was, did the representative take ownership of your problem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second one was, did the representative treat you with respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two good things to keep in mind!!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-1343752197708961046?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/1343752197708961046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=1343752197708961046&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1343752197708961046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/1343752197708961046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/05/cell-phone-madness.html' title='Cell Phone Madness'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-6259153361360245003</id><published>2009-04-13T19:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T19:38:20.648-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music critic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='verdi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='michael walsh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wagner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='puccini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='otello'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='napoleon bonaparte'/><title type='text'>Opera - What's there to be afraid of?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SeP1qJOus3I/AAAAAAAAAds/_oygDu_KQH0/s1600-h/European+Traveler+March+09+477.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324369288863069042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SeP1qJOus3I/AAAAAAAAAds/_oygDu_KQH0/s400/European+Traveler+March+09+477.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My schedule is filling up fast these days (you know why), so be sure and email me early if you want a reading.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;_____________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rome is, indeed, a marvelous city. That handsome young man on the right, there at the Pantheon, sold me tickets to hear a concert of favorite arias from operas, one of highlights of my trip. &lt;strong&gt;There at the Pantheon.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;____________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/"&gt;Goodreads&lt;/a&gt; is a great family site. I got on it because my granddaughter asked me to. Family-friendly sites are so important for the kids today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to this book, "Who's Afraid of Opera?" I'm not surprised they don't have the book cover. I'm probably the only person who's read it, I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I love opera and found it very enjoyable. &lt;strong&gt;Perfect&lt;/strong&gt; what I call "airport fiction." And, BTW, Lufthansa has an opera station on their earphones. Another reason to live in Europe ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here are some great quotes from this book, Who's Afraid of Opera, by Michael Walsh - you'll recognize his name as music critic for TIME magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, I took the what opera would you be quiz on facebook and I'd be "The Magic Flute." That's Mozart, and I can't think of a "nicer" opera to "be." This is the best starter-opera, in fact it was mine, and wonderful for kids as well as adults. While I prefer Verdi and Puccini, operas with the dynomite arias (like "Othello" and "Madama Butterfly"), what's not to like about that magical magid flute opera?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, ready? Here we go -- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The opera is like a husband with a foreign title: expensive to support, hard to understand, and therefore a supreme social challenge. (Cleveland Armory)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts. (Franco Zeffirelli)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;To write an opera demands a range of skills that are not limited simply to the musical. The opera composer must also be a judge of literary merit, able to work collegially with a partner (the librettist); a student of the theater, knowing eexactly what effects are possible on stage, and an impresario, adept in the ways of money-raising and patronage&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;[It is no wonder these men were giants - Wagner, Verdi, Puccini, Rossini]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Words were of paramount important to both Verdi and Wagner. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;As proud as Boito (the librettist) might have been about his own contributions, though, the sense of his letter ... makes it clear that his words are meant to serve the composer, who, in turn, is serving the dramatic situation .... Which in the end, is what opera is all about.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The essential condition of opera is .... that it have something to say to us about the way we live our livews, and the social and moral circumstances in which we find ourselves.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;THERE IS NOT A SINGLE OPERA WRITTEN BY A WOMAN.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;It has been said that more has been written about Wagner than about anyone else with the exception of Napoleon Bonaparte and Jesus Christ; &lt;strong&gt;that's how important Wagner was, and is.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;[In the Rhinegold and the Ring] Wagner created a metaphor for society and social disintegration that is even more potent today than it was a century ago.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mozart admired Papa Haydn above all composers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;For it is the composer who gives moral shape and meaning to the story through his marvelous music.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Otello&lt;/em&gt; (Verdi) is, indeed, an opera to die for.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-6259153361360245003?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/6259153361360245003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=6259153361360245003&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6259153361360245003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6259153361360245003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-schedule-is-filling-up-fast-these.html' title='Opera - What&apos;s there to be afraid of?'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SeP1qJOus3I/AAAAAAAAAds/_oygDu_KQH0/s72-c/European+Traveler+March+09+477.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-5503636679893584080</id><published>2009-04-13T17:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T17:47:14.604-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Have you been to goodreads?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/351094.Who_s_Afraid_of_Opera_?utm_medium=api&amp;amp;utm_source=blog_review" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"&gt;&lt;img alt="Who's Afraid of Opera?" border="0" src="http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/351094.Who_s_Afraid_of_Opera_?utm_medium=api&amp;utm_source=blog_review"&gt;Who's Afraid of Opera?&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/53947.Michael_Walsh"&gt;Michael Walsh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52566190?utm_medium=api&amp;utm_source=blog_review"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;My review&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  This book is perfect "airport fiction."

In fact, it was interesting to see how our tour guide handled things on my vacation in Europe.  At one cathedral, for instance, he told the gentlemen that both restrooms would be turned over to the ladies, first, and then it would be their turn.  Why?  Because everyone knows women take twice as long. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's one solution if you have that kind of clout.  Or no one's looking.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well take a look at the plans for restrooms in the new Yankee Stadium.  The article is &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/13/sports/baseball/13potty.html?_r=1&amp;th&amp;emc=th"&gt;Ballpark Statisticians Follow a New Count&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Studies show that women take about twice as long as men in the restroom...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groups including the American Restroom Association and the World Toilet Organization view quick access to clean public toilets as no laughing matter...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years, women have most dealt with the consequences, if not the indignity, of waiting in long lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York City passed a law in 2005 requiring that all new or significantly renovated places of public assembly — concert halls, arenas, Broadway theaters, stadiums and the like — have two women’s toilet fixtures for every one devoted to men.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One time this is really a problem is at concerts and operas, when you only have a certain amount of time for intermission.  Do you have to choose between going to the restroom and getting a drink?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm glad this issue is finally being addressed.  Venus Retrograde isn't a bad time to be doing it, either.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width: 142px;"&gt;&lt;div style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 2px; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;div style="border: 1px solid rgb(175, 178, 216); padding: 11px 15px 5px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px; padding-bottom: 5px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding-top: 5px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="border: medium none ; background: rgb(0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 10px; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127);"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-4069599517073379020?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/4069599517073379020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=4069599517073379020&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4069599517073379020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/4069599517073379020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/04/potty-parity-does-it-work.html' title='Potty Parity - Does it work?'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SeL6FE-2kiI/AAAAAAAAAdk/dwwHkYKCORE/s72-c/European+Traveler+March+09+357.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-4893020851921340684</id><published>2009-04-13T00:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T01:05:38.385-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='saudi judge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='venus retrograde'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gartan mother&apos;s lullaby'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rome'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pirate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='irish lullaby'/><title type='text'>Venus Retrograde</title><content type='html'>This is one of the most exhausting times astrologically that we've had in a long time. Take it easy.  Don't rattle someone else's cage.  And stay focused on what it is you &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; want.  It's not nice to fool around right now -- most especially with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus Retrograde is especially hard on creative projects (ask me about the PowerPoints I did from my vacation to Europe), relationships (a bit strained now?  You aren't the only one) and finances (ouch!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one more day folks.  Then it's a great time for a reading so you can process what happened (and that's about how it feels ... what &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;happened&lt;/span&gt;?) and get prepared to get what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has you life been like this? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Earthquake near &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rome&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pirates&lt;/span&gt; on the high seas?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A man &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;decapitates&lt;/span&gt; his sister while the grandmother does laundry in the basement?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flooding &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in the Midwest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A Saudi&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;judge upholds &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;an 8 year old's marriage&lt;/span&gt;, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Michele Obama &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;touches &lt;/span&gt;the Queen of England&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;It's no wonder we're all exhausted.  Turn off the news, tune in to Spirit, and be good to yourself.  My friend recommends drinking lemon juice, darkening the room, and listening to good classical music.  Sounds good to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, why not an Irish lullaby.  No one does lullabies like the Irish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvoWbV0ZyFI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvoWbV0ZyFI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those of you who study emotional intelligence along with me, and the calming effects of music, notice how the first chords sooooothe.

It's true that's part of what goes on, but the major thrust of Venus Retrograde is women acting badly.  That's what happens when the goddess of love is out of sorts.  Think of Venus in Retrograde lilke a woman in PMS who think that's an excuse for inexcusable behavior - sleeping with someone else's husband, making another woman miss a deadline, digs and nasty gossip, insults, and general rampage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of the things to look out for, ladies:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1. Another woman stealing your man&lt;br /&gt;2. Exacerbation of a long-standing conflict with a woman in your life (mother-in-law, sister, daughter, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;3. Verbal digs and backhanded 'compliments' from women, as only woman can ... like "You look so much better in that dress than the one you wore ..." or "Thank heavens you've quit dressing like a baglady."&lt;br /&gt;4. The latest "dish with impunity", as I like to call it.  It's going around now, in ill-bred women, that you can say "I don't mean to insult you" and then insult them, and have impunity.  i.e., "I don't mean to insult you, but you really are fat".  And then a smile.  Call them on this.  Let them know it doesn't work.  There's no "impunity" from bad manners and from insulting someone.&lt;br /&gt;5. Increased competition from women in all areas&lt;br /&gt;6. Some woman 'doing you in' - a home loan, a project deadline, etc.&lt;br /&gt;7. More gossip than usual, the vicious kind&lt;br /&gt;8. Mobbing and bullying at work, spearheaded by females&lt;br /&gt;9. Sarcastic comments left on your facebook profile&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you be prepared?  A reading can show you where the stress is likely to occur.  &lt;strong&gt;Fore-warned is forearmed&lt;/strong&gt;.  You can decide how you want to respond to this cattiness.  You can always walk away and let them go fight with someone else, which will be easy to find during Venus Retrograde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The peak of this should be around March 27th.  We'll all be glad when it's over!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-8734065073738588334?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/8734065073738588334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=8734065073738588334&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8734065073738588334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8734065073738588334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/03/venus-retrograde-and-women-behaving.html' title='Venus Retrograde and Women Behaving Badly'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-2397330571113091048</id><published>2009-03-10T11:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T11:29:53.437-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='moose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='calgary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Toronto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halifax'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winter olympics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polar bears'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vancouver'/><title type='text'>What They Didn't Know about Vancouver</title><content type='html'>From the email bag, about the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are  some questions people from all over the world are asking.  Believe it or not, these questions were posted on an International Tourism Website. Obviously (it adds), the answers are a joke.  But the questions were really asked.                                                                     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?

So how did he ever become a world-reknowned artist.  &lt;strong&gt;Let's look at his chart!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Supported after high school by mother after his brother died in a flight-training accident and his father died of a heart attack&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;BA in Interior Design&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;MS in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fulbright Scholarship to study glass in Venice&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Master of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Founded the Pilchuck Glass School.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In 76 in England, lost his left eye in a car accident&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In 79 dislocated his shoulder in a bodysurfing accident. No longer able to hold the glass blowing pipe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hired others to do it, saying, "Once I stepped back, I liked the view."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Said it allowed him more perspectives, and also to anticipate problems quicker&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He describes his role as "more choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;You'll see his work in museums and botanical gardens all over the world, as well as in stores and in people's homes!

Conjuncts like this aren't unusual, but with this one from NASA): &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Venus is at maximum brightness - 20x brighter than Sirius, the brightest star in the sky&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As seen from US, only a bit more than 1 degree, i.e., stick up your thumb and hold it out at arm's length. Venus and the Moon will fit comfortably behind the thumb-tip. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tight conjunctions like this are the most beautiful of all Moon is only a crescent, but so is Venus! - that's because it has phases, like the Moon. Depends on how much of its nightside is turned toward Earth Moon is brightest when full. Not so Venus. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/images/prettysky/venusphases_wah_strip.gif"&gt;6-mo animation of Venus&lt;/a&gt; by Wah. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crescent Venus is so bright, you can see it in broad daylight. On Friday, look for it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NASA Hint: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stand in the shadow of a tall building to block the glare of the Sun. At noon,&lt;br /&gt;the Moon will be due east of the Sun's position. Got it? Look a few thumb-widths&lt;br /&gt;around the Moon and—voilà!—Venus pops out of the blue. DON'T be tempted to&lt;br /&gt;examine the planet with binoculars or telescope. The nearby Sun can damage your&lt;br /&gt;eyes if you accidentally point your optics in that direction.

"Too Tall" Freeman, here being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my specialties is the Spiritual Life Purpose Report.&lt;br /&gt;Freeman was born November 20, 1927 in Neely, Mississippi (see natal chart above)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brief history - perhaps you're getting the email that's again going around:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.navyseals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160241"&gt;Ed W. "Too Tall" Freeman&lt;/a&gt;, [Captain, U.S. Army Company A, 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) received the Medal of Honor] for his actions in the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965. As a helicopter pilot, he flew through gunfire more than 20 times during a single, ferocious battle [as a volunteer], bringing supplies to a trapped battalion of United States soldiers and flying more than 70 wounded soldiers to safety. Freeman flew wingman for Major Bruce Crandall who also received the Medal of Honor for the same missions. He is also honored in the film &lt;em&gt;We Were Soldiers &lt;/em&gt;and is played by Mark McCracken. Note: Crandall wrote that Freeman was 6'7".&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Notes on Spiritual Life Purpose: &lt;em&gt;The essence of it - to overcome past lifetimes as a Wild Man, or Free Spirit; to learn to fit in with and preserve the society he disdained in former lifetimes. How about helping his sdociety in such a dramatic way that he is awarded the Medal of Honor. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Considered an exalted and poweful placement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Victory after much anxiety and trouble (one example - he wanted to be a helicopter pilot but was "too tall" - 6'7". That's how he got the military nickname "Too Tall." Later the height restrictions were changed and he got to do what he always wanted to do - after much trouble.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Has the sort of luck that comes when everything seems lost. He was the first, or only 2, to volunteer to go on this mission&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brash moves, brazen courage&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Impulsive, not hampered by desires for perfection&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a Wild Soul, a Free Spirit who wikll need to learn to be aware that others have a viewpoint - how about saving their lives?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Optimistic about outcomes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Has an excessive life - how about the first of only 2 to volunteer for this. And his moniker after all includes "too"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will avoid restrictions and wants to live by his own rules. Hates routine. Likes danger. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Actions speak louder than words - always wants activity &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nervous energy … not fond of responsibility (the extended sort); eternally restless &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Just wants to get it over with, get it out of the way; "Yeah, but I gotta go!" &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Like a bull in a china shop, a shouter in a library &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To learn to preserve the society he disdained in former lifetimes, the society necessary for his very survival (so he lived to be honored by the society of which he was a part - by the Medal of Honor) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wild stallion fighting being tamed (after he retired from the military, one of the things he did was round up wild horses by helicopter) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Needs circumstances that force him to be part of society, be with others (the military) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One astrologer wrote, "Lives his life on the rim of the wheel, occasionally darting into the center of the hub only to run back out again." Isn't this the definition of medevac pilot? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suggested remedies: An Air Force career is recommended&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Search for meaning and purpose and clear life direction important - once he got into his beloved helicopters, he remained there for this entire work life&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;From We Were Soldiers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZPr9g3EVz-o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZPr9g3EVz-o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scottish accent lyrics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lay me doon&lt;br /&gt;In the caul, caul groon&lt;br /&gt;Whau afore&lt;br /&gt;Monie mair huv gaun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lay me doon&lt;br /&gt;In the caul, caul groon&lt;br /&gt;Whau afore&lt;br /&gt;Monie mair huv gaun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they come&lt;br /&gt;A will staun ma groon&lt;br /&gt;Staun ma groon&lt;br /&gt;Al nae be afraid..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English translation lyrics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lay me down&lt;br /&gt;in the cold cold ground&lt;br /&gt;Where before&lt;br /&gt;many more have gone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lay me down&lt;br /&gt;in the cold cold ground&lt;br /&gt;Where before&lt;br /&gt;many more have gone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they come&lt;br /&gt;I will stand my ground&lt;br /&gt;Stand my ground&lt;br /&gt;I'll not be afraid"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you Ed "Too Tall" Freeman for your service to your country.

A repeat of 14-15 years ago with resolution and good news, and a "catch a falling star" quality.  &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;4 of Saturn's moon, Titan, Mimas, Dione and Enceladus will pass directly in front of Saturn.  You will be able to see their silhouettes crossing Saturn's cloudtops—all four at the same time.   Best observations - along Pacific coast of North America. To find Saturn, look southwest before sunrise. The planet is easy to see shining like a golden first-magnitude star in the constellation Leo: &lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/images/greencomet/skymap_north_lulin_24feb09.gif"&gt;sky map&lt;/a&gt;.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's photo taken 2/8 when Titan transited Saturn.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/22dec_crazytilt.htm"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;'s a graphic of Saturn's crazy tilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happens once every 14-15 years, so look back at what was going on in your life 14-15 years ago.  In 1995-96 first two moons, then 3 transitted.  Now four.  So look for revisit, resolution, magnification ... and ONE ITEM OF GREAT GOOD NEWS, followed by 3pieces to it. If you want help sorting out what was going on 14-15 yrs ago that might relate, schedule a reading. It's a good time to revisit, revamp, and get ready to be amped up.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/19feb_quadrupletransit.htm"&gt;this NASA site&lt;/a&gt; for photos and graphics of:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Titan and Tethys transiting Saturn in 1995&lt;br /&gt;A February 24th Sky Map to guide your gazing&lt;br /&gt;Movies of Saturn moon-transits in 1995:  (1) Titan and Tethys, (2) Mimas, Enceladus and Dione&lt;br /&gt;Saturn's crazy tilt&lt;br /&gt;Animation of Quadruple Transit of Saturn's Moons&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begins Tuesday morning, Feb. 24th at 2:54 a.m. PST when Titan's shadow falls across Saturn's cloudtops.  About 40 mins later, Titan itself will move over the clouds.  One by one, the smaller moons Mimas, Dione and Enceladus will follow Titan. At 14:24 UT, all four satellites and their shadows will simultaneously dot Saturn's disk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-6185394940985249023?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/6185394940985249023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=6185394940985249023&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6185394940985249023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6185394940985249023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/02/mimas-dione-enceladus-and-titan-are.html' title='Mimas, Dione, Enceladus and Titan are about to do something interesting'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SaBZIJCmkdI/AAAAAAAAAc0/jPh7vGBLQ5c/s72-c/Saturn+Earth+size.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-620961736400851627</id><published>2009-02-19T19:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-19T20:23:12.705-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Susan Dunn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='serotonin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='neuroscience'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Depression'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-destructive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='talk therapy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='emotional intelligence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='L-tryptophan'/><title type='text'>What Makes You Feel Good/What Makes You Feel Bad</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SZ4vmDQTr3I/AAAAAAAAAcs/yyeGf5NCm8A/s1600-h/cruise.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SZ4vmDQTr3I/AAAAAAAAAcs/yyeGf5NCm8A/s400/cruise.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304729741844262770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going on a cruise can be good for your health.  But can you afford it?  Yes, you can if you go as a speaker.  Click &lt;a href="http://www.webstrategies.cc/acruise.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; to purchase the ebook, "Speak on a Cruise and Travel the World for Pennies".   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Makes You Feel Good/What Makes You Feel Bad&lt;br /&gt;by Susan Dunn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emotional Intelligence is all about self-awareness, understanding how emotions work within you and others. Our feelings are regulated by neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Here are some things to know about serotonin, called the “feel good” neurotransmitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Research indicates that low levels of serotonin in the brain can lead to the underlying inability to handle powerful feelings which can result in impulsive acts, aggressive behaviors, poor judgment, and self-destructive tendencies. According to the Society for Neuroscience, in experiments, monkeys with less serotonin are the ones who take daring jumps from the trees and injure themselves. Rats low in serotonin do risky things in experiments, and also accept small immediate rewards instead of waiting for a bigger prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Restoring levels of serotonin in the body relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety. According to Carolyn Meltzer, MD, serotonin receptors decrease significantly with age, up to 55%, so as you age, keep this in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we get more serotonin or use what we have better? According to Dr. Allan Lieberman, MC, FAAEM, vitamin B6 and magnesium can elevate it. Some natural sources are bananas, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, tomatoes, plums, avocadoes, pineapple, eggplant and walnuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antidepressants work with the serotonin you produce; they don’t make more of it. Your body produces serotonin through L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is present in pork, duck and turkey. According to Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen, author of “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743200624/susandunnmome-20 "&gt;Prozac Backlash&lt;/a&gt;,”  it can also be enhanced by talk therapy and by aerobic exercise such as jogging or dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Touch also increases serotonin during massage and decreases pain levels, improves sleep patterns, decreases fatigue, anxiety, depression and cortisol levels in fibromyalgia patients, according to the International Journal of Neurology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important source of serotonin can be increased light. Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., National Institute of Mental Health, feels that the intensity of the light is what counts, not the spectrum. However full-spectrum light used in the poultry industry causes chickens to live twice as long, be calmer and less aggressive, and produce eggs 25% lower in cholesterol. Apparently, even human cholesterol levels drop when people are exposed to sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non-full-spectrum lighting, which is often used in work places, has been shown to create hormones ACTH and cortisol in levels considered stressful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being around water can help some people feel better. Research has shown that a cruise can be beneficial to your wellness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are more tips about feeling better in “&lt;a href="http://www.webstrategies.cc/ebooklibrary.html"&gt;Depression: The Need to Go Within&lt;/a&gt;,” by Susan Dunn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In sum, part of emotional self-awareness means becoming aware of what physical factors innate to you enhance your mood - the foods you eat, the chemicals you put into your body, the exercise you get or don’t get, and your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-620961736400851627?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/620961736400851627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=620961736400851627&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/620961736400851627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/620961736400851627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-makes-you-feel-goodwhat-makes-you.html' title='What Makes You Feel Good/What Makes You Feel Bad'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SZ4vmDQTr3I/AAAAAAAAAcs/yyeGf5NCm8A/s72-c/cruise.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-8222668130388469190</id><published>2009-02-17T18:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T19:00:07.405-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='80 year old woman dancing salsa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='old woman dancing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astrology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='german proverb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mars Jupiter conjunct'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='son del timbal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='salsa Jupiter'/><title type='text'>Grab the Energy of the Mars Jupiter Conjunct and Go With It!</title><content type='html'>Conjunct now:  Mars/Jupiter.

You probably know of the benefits of finger tapping, and the healing properties of mudras. The Vitarka Mudra (mudra of discussion) is made by joining the tips of the thumb and the index together, keeping the other fingers straight, and turning the palm outward. (as pictured).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Jnana Mudra&lt;/strong&gt; ("mudra of knowledge), which you'll see and learn about in the OBAMA VIDEO, also known as "pure awareness free of conceptual emcumbrances", is done by touching the tips of the thumb and index finger together, forming a circle. The hand is held with the palm inward, toward the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/jnanamudra"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; for FREE Mini-course on Finger Healing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the stress - Valentine's Day, Friday the 13th, loss of job, fear about economy, that lover who won't make a committment, public speaking, or a root canal ... finger tapping and finger healing can help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR OWN &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/jnanamudra"&gt;FREE FINGER HEALING MINI-COURSE &lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch this video on how Obama uses some of these gestures while speaking.

Nadya Suleman was born July 11, 1975 in Bellflower, California. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SZQ0_YK4U7I/AAAAAAAAAck/vU5kOGZsdVo/s1600-h/nadya_suleman.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 272px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SZQ0_YK4U7I/AAAAAAAAAck/vU5kOGZsdVo/s400/nadya_suleman.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301920924746404786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First let me say that we wish the best for the babies. May they be blessed, for never was it more appropriate to say, "They didn't ask for this."  So much was manipulated in this case.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is about the mother, Nadya Suleman.  Nadya means "Hope".  "Suleman" is a male Arabic given name that means "Man of Peace."  There is no 'father' in this scenario.  But Nadya's father is going to head back to Iraq ... for peace?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There has been an outrage about this birth.  What it will cost the state of California … how the babies can possibly be well-cared for … what the doctor was thinking … what Suleman, herself, was thinking. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The little Aquarian babies were born January 26.  Well, they will have lots of company, and can work as a group, which Aquarians love.  In this case, a good thing, since, with a Mother who is a Cancer, the little water-bearers will be the emotional support for their single Mother.  At the time of the birth, she and the 6 other children were living with her parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cancer, of course, is about home and family.  Notice, too, that Suleman has currently skittled off to hide.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Suleman has a North Node in Scorpio.  These people are more unconscious about their motives, problems and conflicts, than most (depends on how evolved they are, how many times around the wheel), and their life purpose is Regeneration.  Moving from Personal Will to Divine Will. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Suleman has said she was lonely as an only child and her mother confirms her obsession with having babies.  Nadya Suleman has Sun square Jupiter.  Jupiter is about excess, and the Sun, about confidence.  Well, here she has done something most of us think excessive.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Spiritual Life Purpose Reports are one of my specialties.  Looking at where this node is in a person's natal chart, we see why the person has incarnated this time.  There are things to be overcome.  Here are notes on what Suleman's Spiritual Life Purpose Placement indicates.  I want to put a comment after each one, but I think you can do that on your own.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Good at using the material resources of others to their own advantage (like the State of California).  &lt;br /&gt;Need to achieve social status&lt;br /&gt;Think they can decide what's best for others&lt;br /&gt;Perseverance.

Written and sung by Leonard Cohen, and covered by Michael Buble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know that saying "It's what you don't know that will kill you"? Well, it's what you don't know about a Virgo man that will capture your heart forever - for this world, and the next world and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two versions of "I'm Your Man". In Buble's version (which in no way compares to Leonard Cohen's own), the song even ends with the chords of a mystery thriller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r24_T-HOcyg&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r24_T-HOcyg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FSU8GWW2LBk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FSU8GWW2LBk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it about a Virgo man?  None of Leonard Cohen's exes has an unkind thing to say about him. And he has never married.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;a href="http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2009/01/24/1232471667009.html"&gt;"Still Plenty of Life in this Ladies' Man,"&lt;/a&gt; Australian columist Michelle Griffin writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;LEONARD Cohen is like a horse whisperer, only for women. Even at 74 ...&lt;br /&gt;When he growled his sleazy 1988 classic I'm Your Man, women leapt from their picnic blankets to yell: "Yes, you are!"&lt;/blockquote&gt;Ah, no Ms. Griffin. A Virgo man is never, &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt; sleazy. Even when he's doing that madonna/whore thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But a man never got a woman back&lt;br /&gt;Not by begging on his knees&lt;br /&gt;Or I'd crawl to you baby&lt;br /&gt;And I'd fall at your feet&lt;br /&gt;And I'd howl at your beauty&lt;br /&gt;Like a dog in heat ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Rye" said Ms. Griffin. No, more like tongue-in-cheek dignity. I can see the look on the Virgo man's face as he crawls and begs. Horse whisperer for women. Because if he really did crawl and beg, well, as Jack Nicholson, whose Moon is in Virgo, said, "You only lie to two people in your life: the police and your girlfriend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Griffin got it right ... He charmed us, he moved us, and then he broke it to us gently. As a Virgo would. They were "courtly" songs of sex and regret, and ... &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;none of his exes has an unkind thing to say about him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-133647022435267863?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/133647022435267863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=133647022435267863&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/133647022435267863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/133647022435267863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/02/virgo-male-horse-whisperer-for-women.html' title='Virgo Male:  The Horse Whisperer for Women'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-3883509757511659653</id><published>2009-02-09T15:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T15:31:59.917-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aldebaran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sirius'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='planets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arcturus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rigel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='betelgeuse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antares'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VV Cephei'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vega'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pollux'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shooting stars'/><title type='text'>Stars and Planets in Perspective</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Take a look at the stars Aldebaran, Antares, Sirius, Vega, Pollux, Arcturus, Aldebaran, Rigel, Deneb, Betelgeuse, Antares and VV Cephei.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_WEL117xXpw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_WEL117xXpw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at &lt;a href="http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/5000lys.html"&gt;our corner of the Milky Way Galaxy&lt;/a&gt;.  The Sun is located in the Orion Arm, which is fairly minor compared with the Sagittarius Arm, closer to the galactic center. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The map shows several stars visible with the naked eye which are located deep within the Orion arm. The most notable group of stars here are main stars in the constellation of Orion - from which the spiral arm gets its name. All of these stars are bright giant and supergiant stars, thousands of times more luminous than the Sun. The most luminous star on the map is Rho Cassiopeia (ρ Cas) - to us 4000 light years away, it is a dim naked eye star, but in reality it is a huge supergiant star 100 000 times more luminous than our Sun. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-3883509757511659653?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/3883509757511659653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=3883509757511659653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3883509757511659653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/3883509757511659653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/02/stars-and-planets-in-perspective.html' title='Stars and Planets in Perspective'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-8785529870441408062</id><published>2009-02-07T18:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T18:23:59.692-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='witness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autopsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='right brain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attorney'/><title type='text'>Disorder in the Court</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Communicating is harder then it looks.

Markopolos studied the markets and deduced it couldn’t be done: Madoff had to be cheating — either by front-running, which would’ve involved trading on advance information about customer orders from his market-making firm, or by the good ol' doomed-to-fail Ponzi method. Before long, the world-weary numbers cruncher settled on the latter and wrote a series of whistleblowing memos to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Memos that they, as we're now painfully aware, dismissed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many are trying to explain why him ... and to claim his as one of their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COMMENTS:&lt;br /&gt;Bravo, Harry! That sharp mind of Greek ancestry was doing what the Greeks do best, think, analyze, and discover! Yes, President Obama should have you in his administration overseeing the stimulus and IRS.

America has pulled a rabbit out of its hat!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pluto in Capricorn .. some say we will be "righting old wrongs." I like to put a more positive spin on it. I think we are finally going to be able to bring to fruition more parts of the ideals for the world that most of us good people in the world believe in. Obama's election is the perfect kickoff! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The American Dream" has always been that if you did the work, it would happen - regardless of your race, religion, creed, etc. This is a harbinger - that we can do it, it will happen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It just takes time, intention, and dedication.  It is more like the healing of an estrangement, as the American-Italian blogger writes so eloquently.  They add:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Our friends across Europe have similar stories to tell. Everywhere there is a sense of hope and wonder that America, after reaching perhaps an all time low in world opinion, has pulled a rabbit out of its hat and done the unimaginable - elected an inspirational leader with intelligence and honesty, who believes that it is possible to transcend the confines of race and religion that have stalled dialogue throughout the world, and who arrives with an agenda aimed at comforting the afflicted even if that means afflicting the comfortable &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;My generation went through "integration" which was one of the early steps:  Equal and not separate Education. Then there was affirmative action, another step along the way. Now we have put the polish on the pearl. Any job or opportunity in the US is available to anyone. Period. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's hope we can do this yet again with the current problems facing this country that need addressing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From today's email bag, but let me begin with a comment from one of my clients in the UK, that "America needed a friendlier face and now it has one": &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;...joy in Mr. Obama’s victory is shared by whites all around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have great hopes that we are standing at the dawn of a new era,” wrote the Norwegian daily &lt;em&gt;Aftenposten&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One Giant Step for Mankind” read the front page of England’s &lt;em&gt;Sun&lt;/em&gt; newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A headline on the &lt;em&gt;London Telegraph&lt;/em&gt; website declared: “Barack Obama Victory Allows Britain to Love US Again.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Times&lt;/em&gt; modestly headlined its election story, “The New World.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada spoke of Mr. Obama’s “tremendous, historic” victory, and the &lt;em&gt;Toronto Sun&lt;/em&gt; called it “an historic milestone like no other.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Le Monde&lt;/em&gt; in Paris noted that “from Left to Right, [French] politicians have been competing for superlatives with which to praise the election of Barack Obama.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Milan’s &lt;em&gt;Corriere della Sera&lt;/em&gt; wrote that Mr. Obama was “the man who&lt;br /&gt;can save America from utter breakdown.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But what about Italy? From an &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-schumacher-and-debbie-bookchin/italians-are-in-love----w_b_143997.html"&gt;two American ex-pats &lt;/a&gt;in Italy:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be unfortunate to think Berlusconi expresses the sentiments most Italians have towards Obama. In fact, if you want to know what most Italians think about Obama, forget about Silvio Berlusconi -whenever he opens his mouth a large portion of Italians react the same way a large portion of Americans have reacted to George W. Bush over the last eight years: They wish they could run away and hide. As two Americans who have lived for some time Italy, we can attest that the election of Obama has been a source of great joy and admiration throughout Italy. Joy, because for most Italians the Bush years have felt like &lt;strong&gt;an unwanted eight-year estrangement from a close friend for whom they still feel deep affection; and now this rift may finally be healed&lt;/strong&gt;. Admiration, because Obama's victory is seen as proof that &lt;strong&gt;America still has the capacity to innovate and renew itself, to represent a better future, and to remain a source of inspiration&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;They write so beautifully, I'll continue:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The phenomenonal reaction to Obama is much more than just relief that the Bush years will finally end. It signifies the clear understanding that the Obama's election was extraordinary, a once-in-a-lifetime event, and that &lt;strong&gt;his election has set a new mark to which Italy and the rest of Europe will need to aspire&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which just about sums it up!

They obscure some part of your life in the dark, so you can see better what needs your attention.  "Turn around, Bright Eyes," don't be "always in the dark."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The timing of this eclipse heralds new beginnings brought about by radical change - chosen or not chosen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As in the song, if you get a little bit lonely and he's not coming around ... it's time to look at that. I have recently helped several clients to get their man to "turn around." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hang on for the ride during this one. It helps to be prepared with a reading. Think of it like the big cosmic washing machine - if you can endure the sloshing and churning of the wash and spin cycle, at the end it all comes out fresh and clean, smelling like new. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email me for a reading: &lt;a href="mailto:semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com"&gt;semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.

When this song plays at night, yes this version, it is always a show-stopper. People will either start humming it, dance to it, or just stand still.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The story behind this song is also about forgiveness, synchronicity and things meant to be. Holden, a teenager at the time, was arrested for driving with alcohol and marijuana. When jailed, he started singing this song. One of the policeman heard it, told Holden he (the policeman) was leaving police work and going to form a band, and gave Holden his card.**&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the rest, as they say, is history. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. We'll also be learning that close-up, good and bad can be indistinguishable or mixed up. With distance (perspective) we see correctly. &lt;em&gt;The person who locked you up may in fact be the person who sets you free. Think about it. Call for a reading and let me give you the key: 817-734-1471.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;**This is also a time period to remember that if someone GIVES YOU A CARD WITH THEIR NUMBER ON IT, IT IS YOU WHO MUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND PUNCH IN THE NUMBERS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-7908742110252169001?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/7908742110252169001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=7908742110252169001&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/7908742110252169001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/7908742110252169001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/01/true-love-for-all-eternity.html' title='True Love for All Eternity'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXP7XMf_v4I/AAAAAAAAAbA/DyIEwHuHugw/s72-c/loverose.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-8301060924858302708</id><published>2009-01-17T18:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-17T21:03:10.032-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miracle on the Hudson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sullenberger&apos;s Natal Chart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual life purpose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cpt.

Sullenberger will turn 58 on the 23rd of this month, and is therefore approaching his Second Saturn Retutn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Life Purpose: The node that indicates Cpt. Sullenberger's spiritual or life purpose is in Pisces (opposite node being in Virgo)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a brief look here. A full Spiritual Life Path Report and a full Saturn Return Report are extensive. If you would like your own Spiritual Life Purpose Report or Saturn Return Report, &lt;a href="mailto:semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com"&gt;email me&lt;/a&gt; for information. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SECOND SATURN RETURN&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The First Saturn Return occurs between the ages of 28-30 and is a chance to redo your life as you progress from childhood to adulthood. At the Second Saturn Return, occurring between the ages of 58-60, we have our second big chance to redo our life. Many people make career changes at this time, some choose to cross over, others make changes in their personal lives and relationships, some move or retire, some take steps that put them on their life purpose path, and some do an all-out "do-over". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's nothing like a life-changing experience such as Cpt. Sullenberger had to usher in a bigtime Second Saturn Return. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NORTH NODE IN PISCES&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The North Node in Pisces calls for subordinating the self in service to others. Martin Shulman describes it as, "[The person] must learn how to immerse himself in the waters of Cosmic Consciousness, and in this baptism of thought he can truly experience a new birth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And into the water went Captain Sullenberger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More things about Pisces/Virgo (Pisces is the "head" and Virgo is the "tail") Node:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being able to focus deeply, analyze, rely on facts and logic and preference for structure and order are all learned from childhood or past lives. At the same time, they have remarkable intuition, but need to become conscious of this fact, to trust it and use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch the simulation below and you will see how little time this hero had to make any sort of "rational" decisions and by all accounts how "cool headed" he was. The South Node Virgo (the starting position) will panic at chaos or emergency. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is pertinent to note that Cpt. Sullenberger majored in psychology and combined his passion for flying and psychology in also running a safety-consulting firm. Briand says in his &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-654-Baby-Boomer-Examiner"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; "[Sullenberger] had been studying the psychology of keeping airline crews functioning even in the face of crisis."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person with this Node will go through experiences which force him to grow more compassionate and forgiving, and also will be challenged with experiences where their preference for structure and order does not work. &lt;/p&gt;Others who went into the water with him seemed to have learned something (from &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/.ssf/2009/01/officials_call_us_airways_plan.html"&gt;NJ.com&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Jon Corzine said last night that by all accounts, the passengers appeared to have avoided panic and worked together to save themselves. "The people inside the plane pulled together," Corzine said during a visit to Palisades Medical Center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And those of us who watched, in awe (Who was it that said "the heavens belong to the birds, and the plane entered their space?" and the Internet comment: "birds are helpless creatures on earth like all of us. Its not their fault.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And perhaps in keeping with the Overall Plan, many passengers when rescued expressed the desire to thank the pilot, the man who had saved them, that is, their Savior. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will all be watching to see where this experience will lead Cpt. Sullenberger next. He has already become the Poster Boy for the Boomer generation, because it took great experience to be able to handle that situation. (The pilots' association recently won federal legislation moving mandatory retirement back to the age of 65, a &lt;em&gt;coup&lt;/em&gt; for them, and for all Boomers who want to continue working.) Briand wrote: "One thing pilots have always said is 'Don't take the experience out of the cockpit.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simulation of flight:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2S7FHiAXATw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2S7FHiAXATw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-8301060924858302708?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/8301060924858302708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=8301060924858302708&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8301060924858302708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8301060924858302708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/01/natal-chart-of-sully-sullenberger-pilot.html' title='Natal Chart of Sully Sullenberger, pilot of US Airways flight 1549'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-3083253394783846011</id><published>2009-01-15T20:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T21:25:53.882-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Uno'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='year 2008'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cruise ship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='end of year'/><title type='text'>The Good Things about 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXAW58OLfDI/AAAAAAAAAao/DOEnrYx6XfU/s1600-h/UNO.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291754746834287666" style="WIDTH: 249px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXAW58OLfDI/AAAAAAAAAao/DOEnrYx6XfU/s320/UNO.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A REVIEW OF THE PAST YEAR ...&lt;br /&gt;It was a good year for playing Uno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are all reviewing the past year. What a turbulent one it has been for the US, and the world. I was just looking at &lt;a href="http://www.cagle.com/"&gt;Cagle's cartoons&lt;/a&gt; for the exit of President Bush. Out new President Obama has his hands full. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. BTW, he's got a lot of Leo in his chart, so watch for some drama from "no-drama Obama".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So gas rising again, war still going on, new war in the Middle East, failing economies ... but what about your own life last year, your private and personal life? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I decided to look back over my own past year, and focus on the good things, the sweet things, the meaningful things. As Claudia says, "The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it." C. Jung&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For me, in 2008,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291751652118751858" style="WIDTH: 195px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 196px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXAUFzgf6nI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/wat-5em70Uk/s320/August+08+2+064.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Just playing.

On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cohen's original has now been viewed 6,323,398 times on youtube..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SW_OyBcD1xI/AAAAAAAAAYw/gtvFsGX3P9Q/s1600-h/hallelujah.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291675445958530834" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SW_OyBcD1xI/AAAAAAAAAYw/gtvFsGX3P9Q/s320/hallelujah.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scorpio - Tied you to a kitchen chair? What a turnon! But really this song has deep meanings that go way below the surface. It has a lot of Judaism in it, the Old Testament, spirituality. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Libra - At first I was sure Buckley's was the best, but then I took the time to listen to the other ones and I have to admit I was wrong. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leo - It's about the big picture. It's so big I don't think a lot of people really get it. The only thing I don't get is, what does that mean "All I've ever learned from love is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you"? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aries - Take a look at K. D. Lang's. She has the fire. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cancer - It all went wrong? He said he'd been in that room before and he used to live alone. That's so sad. I hope he doesn't have to end up living alone. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Virgo - A shame he had to use "ya" to rhyme with "hallelujah". Is it really a 4th, a 5th? Better check that out. And how does that incident give "proof" of faith. It certainly isn't anything &lt;em&gt;scientific&lt;/em&gt;. BTW it isn't the pop chart, it's the &lt;em&gt;Christmas&lt;/em&gt; chart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taurus - Bathing at night in the moonlight .. nice touch. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sagittarius - If you'd been anywhere, like I have, I've traveled to Tibet and done the Buddhist thing too, you would see the deep spirituality of this song and how the chord of David means saying the right thing at the right time to the right person in the right tone and pitch of voice, you know, so it's music to their ears. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capricorn - Seems to me that he shouldn't have gotten involved with her. I mean if you say you can't &lt;em&gt;feel &lt;/em&gt;then you shouldn't lead someone on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pisces - If your faith is strong, you don't need proof. This song is about heaven, about other worlds beyond this one, about the oneness of it all. There really is a blaze of light in every word. Who's to say it all went wrong? There's a bigger design. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aquarius - At least he knows how the world is supposed to be. As to the versions, I think everyone should have the freedom to choose the one they like, and that all the opinions should be equal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gemini - Kinda tired of listening to it. The emotions are too complex, whatever he's saying. Makes my stomach hurt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From BBC News Magazine's "Just whose hallelujah is it anyway?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the Bishop of Croydon put it in a recent Radio 2 documentary, "what it comes from is being open and transparent before God and the world and saying 'this is how it is, mate'". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Send us your comments on the song, and your zodiacal sign. Here are some early comments:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leo with Cancer rising: Play this at my funeral. Play this and then Handel's real "Hallelujah Choris" and then send 'em home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taurus: I really like this version. I didn't realize how handsome he is. I guess I haven't seen his picture for decades!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leo: To keep living in the face of inevitable “Bafflement” or God forbid, even despair we must agree to that last line. THAT is to praise the Lord, to agree to life, to be fully alive. It’s not whether it’s broken or holy but that you still say Hallelujah. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Erich (sign uknown):  recommends Allison Crowe's version, a double Scorpio he says. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;"The song itself is just so emotionally resonant," said Crowe.  Crowe, like Lang, like Cohen, is Canadian.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Announcer:  It means totally different things to whoever listens to it, and whoever sings it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; BORDER-TOP: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #afb2d8 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 11px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #afb2d8 1px solid" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;CURRENT MOON&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;var ccm_cfg = { pth:"http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/", fn:"ccm_v1.swf", lg:"en", hs:1, tf:"12hr", scs:1, df:"std", dfd:0, tc:"FFFFFF", bgc:"000000", mc:"000000", fw:104, fh:153.3, js:0, msp:0, u:"cc" }&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.moonmodule.com/cs/ccm_fl.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="PADDING-TOP: 5px" align="center"&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BACKGROUND: #000000; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #7f7f7f; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-FAMILY: arial,verdana,sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml" target="cc_moon_ph"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#7f7f7f;"&gt;moon info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-8694130056542024936?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/8694130056542024936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=8694130056542024936&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8694130056542024936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/8694130056542024936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallelujah-comments-by-astrological.html' title='Hallelujah Comments by Astrological Sign'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SW_OyBcD1xI/AAAAAAAAAYw/gtvFsGX3P9Q/s72-c/hallelujah.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-7293608986124920215</id><published>2009-01-14T22:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T23:12:58.038-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='K.D.

D. Lang</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Oh the Virgo, my readers, the tender-hearted Virgo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This song, this prayer, Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah can be taken at many different levels. Taken at the level of a relationship between a man and a woman, THE defining line is "But you don't really care for music, do ya?" Watch below, it occurs at .18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at Cohen, the Virgo's eyes - the pain of making such a statement about a loved one ... the gentle acceptance of the unalterable. The utter soul-kindness, IMO, of the evolved Virgo. Watch closely his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch, keeping in mind that according to my Canadian source, apparently none of his exes has an unkind word to say about him. Do you doubt why?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We will now do a comparison. &lt;/strong&gt;Take a look at how fellow Canadian, K. D. Lang, does the cover, and this is a powerful version in its own right. This is at the Juno awards in Winnepeg, 2005. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_NpxTWbovE&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_NpxTWbovE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First of all, this is SCORPIO. The sexy, secretive, intense Scorpio. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It takes her 22 seconds to prepare, and watch the focus of the preparation. According to her chart, her temperament is nervous. Her chart has lots of water signs. Her heart and her emotions are her driving force and she can't do anything on Earth if she doesn't feel a strong affective charge. With fewer than the average fires signs, chart says she may appear to lack warmth, enthusiasm, appearing indifferent to others, which is not true .. and watch her work her way up to this, to let go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(A Virgo "let go"? Uh uh)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sensitivity dominated by reason, it's like she analyzed how to show this, and show it she did. Watch the incredible hand motions -- they remind me of Edith Piaf's, what defined "the little sparrow." And these are orchestrated as only a Scorpio can -- watch what she does with the mike cord when she sings about "tied you to her kitchen chair."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now when SHE sings the line at .36 secs, watch her go into what I call "that Scorpio scorn."   In ending relationships, dear reader, the Scorpio usually takes no prisoners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also note her subdued reaction at the end, as the crowd applauds.  Ah, the mystery of what is broiling inside a Scorpio!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beautiful, beautiful.

From BBC article, "&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7787355.stm"&gt;Just whose Hallelujah is it anyway?&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fans of Leonard Cohen (and of the late Jeff Buckley, whose 1994 version is treated as sacrosanct) are predictably outraged at [the new version] ... But maybe they need not worry so much. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For one thing, viewings of the other Hallelujahs on the global jukebox YouTube are rising every day, with comments underneath such as "Glad the song won X Factor - even with a rubbish version - otherwise I wouldn't have discovered this". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for another, Cohen was last in the news when a court ruled that his manager had stolen £5.4m which he was unlikely to recover. So there may be another kind of joyous cry this Christmas - the kind that means "a beautiful woman has sung my song and restored my financial solvency". Hallelujah. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm so glad this has happened for Leonard Cohen.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cohen's advice to young song writers, BTW, "if you stick with a song long enough, it will yield."  He says he spent at least 5 years on Hallelujah.  There were 80 verses.

Currently two covers on the British top 50 chart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah! was written (and also sung) by Leonard Cohen. (See below) So much response to my previous blog.  Leonard Cohen:  Virgo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to wiki:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;On the 21st of December 2008, "Hallelujah" became the first song in 51 years to&lt;br /&gt;occupy the first and second positions on the UK Singles Chart; ...&lt;a title="Alexandra Burke" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Burke"&gt;Alexandra Burke&lt;/a&gt;'s and American singer &lt;a title="Jeff Buckley" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Buckley"&gt;Jeff Buckley&lt;/a&gt;'s covers were the two highest-selling songs in the week beginning 15 December 2008&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This song has been covered by more people than you can name, all over the world.  It made #1 in Norway. The lyrics change; one speculation is that cover-singers are choosing among the originally 80 verses Cohen wrote. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The man? According to my Canadian source, "Apparently none of his ex-women friends have ANYTHING bad to say about him." Are you thinking "Virgo" here?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leonard, &lt;a title="Order of Canada" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Canada"&gt;CC&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="National Order of Quebec" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Order_of_Quebec"&gt;GOQ&lt;/a&gt;, still alive, says he doesn't know how many verses there are because everyone who sings it adds their own. Alernatively, he has said he has added verses himself. It's true, one is tempted to add one's own, this touches such a universal (David) chord. (see below)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yes, he's a Virgo, born September 21, 1934 in Westmount Quebec. Leave it to a Virgo to touch every chord, every David's chord, you ever had ... in a totally understated way. As he says in his lyrics "I couldn't feel so I tried to touch." IMO, no one can comfort the way a Virgo male can.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This song touches us all, at the chord of David level. I think because he goes to the core - sex, religion, and the complexity of relationships .... "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pA5UhNaYw0&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;Dance me to the end of Love&lt;/a&gt;,". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A poet first, Leonard Cohen published his first poetry in 1956. Then an album in 1967, with songs rooted in European folk music. Around 1980, his high baritone became the bass or bass baritone you hear in the video below, accompanied by electronic synthesizers and female backup. With smashing results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it is a song whose time has come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From wik:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over a thousand renditions of Cohen's songs have been recorded and his work has been cited as an influence on a wide range of singer-songwriters around the world. He has been inducted into both the &lt;a title="Canadian Music Hall of Fame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Music_Hall_of_Fame"&gt;Canadian Music Hall of Fame&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a title="Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Songwriters_Hall_of_Fame"&gt;Canadian&lt;br /&gt;Songwriters Hall of Fame&lt;/a&gt; and is also a Companion of the &lt;a title="Order of Canada" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Canada"&gt;Order of Canada&lt;/a&gt;, the nation's highest civilian honour. Whilst giving the speech at his induction into the American &lt;a title="Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame"&gt;Rock and Roll &lt;/a&gt;Hall of Fame on 10 March 2008, &lt;a title="Lou Reed" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Reed"&gt;Lou Reed&lt;/a&gt; described Cohen as being up amongst the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters".&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_cohen#cite_note-autogenerated1-0"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;.10 March 2008, &lt;a title="Lou Reed" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Reed"&gt;Lou Reed&lt;/a&gt; described Cohen as being up &lt;strong&gt;amongst the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;He was never as popular in the US, where his work was considered "too dark."&lt;br /&gt;Mistake!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lyrics listed elsewhere not in this video. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby I have been here before&lt;br /&gt;I know this room, I've walked this floor&lt;br /&gt;I used to live alone before I knew you&lt;br /&gt;I've seen your flag on the marble arch&lt;br /&gt;Love is not a victory march&lt;br /&gt;It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a time you let me know&lt;br /&gt;What's really going on below&lt;br /&gt;But now you never show it to me, do you?&lt;br /&gt;And remember when I moved in you&lt;br /&gt;And the holy dove was moving too&lt;br /&gt;And every breath we drew was Hallelujah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another appears in the videos of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_NpxTWbovE&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;K.

Poster Boys for Pluto into Capricorn?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What kind of a man turns in a man like Bernie Madoff?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Libra balances the Scales of Justice.... a cautionary tale w&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;ith a surprise ending.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What kind of man? A man like Harry Markopolos, born October 22, 1956. A Libra with a Moon in Gemini ... A Libra/Gem take on a Taurus/Taurus? (Bernie Madoff was born April 29, 1938.) (email me if you want their charts)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"No way," you say? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Madoff is a man who, under indictment for perpetrating the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single individual - an affinity Ponzi scheme - acting like a bull annoyed by the picadors, proceeded to violate the court-ordered asset freeze by mailing perhaps $1 million worth of jewelry to relatives, including the sons, who, yet again, turned their old man in. The Matador is yet to come. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, prosecutors found Madoff was indeed &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; cooperating and asked that his bail be revoked January 5. What does it take to stop a raging bull? &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;A Libra?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ah, but the key -- as always -- is in the Life Purpose. &lt;strong&gt;This is why one of my specialities is in the area of Life Purpose Reports. It explains things. &lt;/strong&gt;More on this shortly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who reported these "unusually consistent," and "curiously steady" returns Madoff was getting? Well a Libra with a background in risk management and mathematics, whose passions would have been aroused, says prof Mark Williams (finance and economics at Boston University), by Madoff promising high returns without risk. "It's about when you see an error, correcting it," said Williams. "Madoff was &lt;strong&gt;breaking the normal equation&lt;/strong&gt;." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Libras, you know, they know all about scales. They can do the math. 1 + 1 = 2. 2 stones on one scale balances 2 stones on the other scale. High return = high risk. Low risk = low return. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But what to do with this information? Well, Gemini, you know ... Mercury is the Messenger of the gods. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Acording to one source, &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090110/us_nm/us_madoff_markopolos"&gt;Markopolos had been onto Madoff since 1996&lt;/a&gt;. From whence cometh this persistence? Life Purpose coming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In November 2005, according to wikipedia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Markopolos submitted a 19-page document to the SEC entitled "The World's Largest Hedge Fund is a Fraud" in which he documented numerous issues that caused him to allege that it was highly likely that "Madoff Securities is the world's largest &lt;a title="Ponzi scheme" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme"&gt;Ponzi scheme&lt;/a&gt;," or at the very least was engaging in illegal front running.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"&lt;em&gt;The stars impel, they do not compel&lt;/em&gt;." As above, so below, so lets start with below. Markopolos went to Cathedral Preparatory School, run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie, then to Loyola College in Md. That Jesuit education: Learn it. Study it. Know it. Then know it some more, know it better. And their philosophy, that it's &lt;em&gt;for a purpose&lt;/em&gt;, which we'll treat shortly. He then went to Boston College, "one of the oldest &lt;a title="Society of Jesus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus"&gt;Jesuit&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Roman Catholic Church" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church"&gt;Catholic&lt;/a&gt; universities in the United States and ... &lt;strong&gt;home to one of the largest Jesuit communities in the world&lt;/strong&gt;." (wikipedia) Its motto is "Ever to Excel," and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_College"&gt;BC's yield rate for Fulbright awardees is the highest in the country&lt;/a&gt;.What excellent preparation for a man who would have a Mission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(&lt;em&gt;Only Zen masters and test pilots can fully appreciate the intensity of the matador’s concentration. He is in the Zone&lt;/em&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, back to the the stars that &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; impel - Life Purpose Chart. Markopolos' North Node is in Scorpio. This is stamina, dealing with management of others' finances, good at giving advice, good at knowing what's good for other people. It's about working on one's value system continuously and constantly. And it's about partnerships.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is also about karmic ego damage giving a strong need to prove oneself worthy of respect , need for status, need for success, and a deep need &lt;strong&gt;not to be found lacking in any area&lt;/strong&gt;. Being impelled when challenged by superiors - why can't YOU do what Madoff is doing? What's that like ... what's that like for someone with North Node in Scorpio?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From &lt;a href="http://jeffmatthewsisnotmakingthisup.blogspot.com/2008/12/bernie-madoff-and-hamlets-ghost.html"&gt;Jeff Matthew's blog&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A friend and fellow money-manager called us Friday, to gloat. “You see this guy Madoff?” our friend asked, his voice a mixture of outrage and I-told-you-so. “I had a guy who used to beat me up all the time,” our friend said, his voice steadily rising as he recalled &lt;strong&gt;the injustice of the thing&lt;/strong&gt;. [NB: we are leaving out the more colorful nouns and adjectives that punctuated his language; we suggest using your imagination—all of it—to capture the essence]. “He’d say, &lt;strong&gt;‘why can’t you do that? Why can’t you make 8% guaranteed?’”&lt;/strong&gt; We turned the volume on our phone down while he went on. “I used to take [insert bad noun here] from this guy all the time. All the time! I told this [extremely bad double-noun] it was too good to be true.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Too good to be true? That doesn't balance on the scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The South Node, the "tail" of the final and magnificent Scopio transformation ... Refusal to think about anything that's not backed up by conclusive and irrevocable proof. To be prepared to act on behalf of others, to use their benefits for &lt;em&gt;their&lt;/em&gt; benefit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Scorpio transformation is get out of the Taurus rut, you know, plodding, not opening any cans of worms, not disturbing any &lt;em&gt;stati quo&lt;/em&gt;. Quiet, polite, well-mannered. But their drive is strong. &lt;strong&gt;Strong&lt;/strong&gt;. They forget, but don't forgive. They will get even. And they &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; get to the bottom of the matter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now throw in a little Jesuit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The level of detail this guy had ..." said Jonathan Macey, Yale University law professor who studies whistle-blowing. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.loyolahsdetroit.org/About/Mission.html"&gt;The Jesuit Philosophy&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Every Jesuit school ... challenges its students to go beyond academic excellence, to be reflective, to be committed to the service of faith &lt;strong&gt;and the promotion of justice&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And according to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyola_College_in_Maryland"&gt;Loyola of Maryland website&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Society of Jesus, and therefore Loyola College in Maryland, operate according to the mandate &lt;a title="Ad maiorem Dei gloriam" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_maiorem_Dei_gloriam"&gt;Ad maiorem Dei gloriam&lt;/a&gt; (AMDG), directing their ends towards that which brings forth the "greater glory of God". This cornerstone of the Jesuit philosophy functions to remind students that their education is meant to be applied toward the betterment of humanity and the worship of God, in particular. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The North Node in Scorpio Life Purpose? It's also about building assertiveness, and they have the stamina for it ... like digging up the dirt, smelling a rat, and turning someone in - over and over - like for &lt;em&gt;a decade&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And lastly, since it's about personal transformation and the good of others .. Markopolos, past president of the Boston Security Analysts Society, has been quoted as telling the Boston Globe, "People think I'm a hero, but I didn't stop him. He stopped himself." A bit of Dante there, eh? [Milton's "Paradise Lost" (lost indeed), the kind of reading required in a good liberal arts institution.]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well done, Mr. Markopolos. The scales of justice have been balanced, and the imbalances in this particularly UNbalanced Life Purpose Node, fulfilled. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's a Hallelujah. But a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf36v0epfmI"&gt;Leonard Cohen Hallelujah&lt;/a&gt;. "It doesn't matter which you heard ... the holy or the broken Hallelujah. ... I did my best, it wasn't much ... I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can I hear an "Amen." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(keep reading below)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rf36v0epfmI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;To order your own Life Purpose Report, email me at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:sdunn@susandunn.cc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;sdunn@susandunn.cc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt; . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now for the surprise ending. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Madoff's North Node is in Scorpio as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This particular Nodal position has a lot of karmic decadence to deal with. Since we do not have their birth times, we cannot determine in what &lt;em&gt;house&lt;/em&gt; these men's Node are in, i.e., in what area it is centered on, but you can guess. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Same skills, same smarts, same field, same intended life purpose. It matters what you do with what you're given, and it matters that you get on your path. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the Taurus ... In bullfighting there is a term called &lt;em&gt;querencia&lt;/em&gt;. The &lt;em&gt;querencia&lt;/em&gt; is the spot in the ring to which the bull returns. Each bull has a different &lt;em&gt;querencia&lt;/em&gt;, but as the bullfight continues, and the animal becomes more threatened, it returns more and more often to his spot. As he returns to his &lt;em&gt;querencia&lt;/em&gt;, he becomes more predictable. And so, in the end, the matador is able to kill the bull. (from my ebook "The Fight of Your Life." email me to order) Put another way, "I didn't stop him. He stopped himself."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To rephrase the profound lyrics of Leonard Cohen, life is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. A holy or a broken Hallelujah. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The North Node, the life purpose path of both these men deals with partnerships. It may have been their destiny to serve as the Poster Boys for Pluto in Capricorn, to uncover the "secrets," the failures of existing systems (Uranus/Saturn) and transform the entire global financial system. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We cannot deal in abstracts. Someone had to give us evidence that regulatory systems were failing. To this regard, they were the ideal partnership. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An anonymous comment on &lt;a href="http://www.wallstreetweather.net/2008/12/bernard-madoffs-epic-fraud.html"&gt;Wall Street Weather: Bernard Madoff's Epic Fraud&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;If you go to :-http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/chineseastrology.htm, Madoff birth date of 29 April 1938 should mean that during the period of 62 to&lt;br /&gt;81 years old, he should have good luck, even though birth time is unknown.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This old soul thinks that in the grand scheme of things, Madoff was lucky that Markopolos came along, but I'll let you connect the dots on that cold and broken Hallelujah. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The stars impel, the do not compel.  There's karma and there's free will.  You have choices in life.

That's Morgan holding Ivy.  It was taken Christmas Day at Anne's house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you catch the Snowman peeking in?  That is sooo Anne. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My 'read' is, this is a family that incorporates and includes everyone.  Anyone peeking in the window would want to come inside and be part of it.  And I'm sure they would open the door and invite them in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a beautiful Christmas photo.  It represents what most Christmasses are for us ... we can't all be together, there wouldn't be room.  Some have crossed over, some live far away, some have other families to attend to ... but our Spirit, like the snowman, is at every Christmas, past, and present. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email me your special Christmas or holiday photo and I'll post it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/my/atm/Susan%20Dunn/Emotional%20Intelligence/*http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=http%3A//improveyoureq.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img height="33" alt="Add to My Yahoo!" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/my/addtomyyahoo6.gif" width="89" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078623325038820809-6179535711542137919?l=semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/feeds/6179535711542137919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8078623325038820809&amp;postID=6179535711542137919&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6179535711542137919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8078623325038820809/posts/default/6179535711542137919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://semiramisastrologer.blogspot.com/2009/01/facebook-photos-of-morgan-wren-long.html' title='Reading Christmas Photos'/><author><name>Susan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SXQQgBbF7oI/AAAAAAAAAb8/7D3qcyP99So/S220/thumbnail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6S9U29BmfUk/SWfouXRtKII/AAAAAAAAAYY/NK2tkyBoGSk/s72-c/Morgan+and+Ivy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078623325038820809.post-4162611685835935742</id><published>2009-01-08T12:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-08T13:09:31.562-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='man attacked by panda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='full moon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beijing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='panda at beijing zoo attacks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gu Gu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='emotions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high tides'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beijing zoo'/><title type='text'>Gu Gu DEFENDS Again.

See story &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28554008/?GT1=43001#storyContinued"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Gu Gu has attacked two others who have done this. In this case, zookeepers had to use tools to pry open the panda's jaws. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article on msn.com has at its side a "special feature" video, Pandas at Play, calling them cute and cuddly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was it the Full Moon?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's always good to keep in mind that the moon effects the tides, and emotions. Those who are "vulnerable" (old, sick, weak, under pressure) can snap. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pandas are mammals, like humans. When someone violates our space, threatens our territory, we react. It's instinctive to defend your territory. Two others have been attacked; one was a teenager, another was drunk. Someone in their right might probably wouldn't try something like that. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During Full Moons, BACK OFF. People who have high-set rheostats are prime to over-react. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And don't go jumping in to someone else's home territory uninvited and unannounced!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hope the man, unnamed, recovers, and that zookeepers will do the smart thing - restructure the situation so that people can't just jump in. Right now there is only a 5' retainer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="WIDTH: 142px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BAC
