Tax on Obesity? Well, what are your new year's resolutions?

I think this is a great idea.

After all, no one "Must" drink sugared soda. And ... I find it hard to believe that the quantity is only 5 cans per week.

New York appears to be on it again. My friends from the NY area tell me (I haven't corroborated it, but then I don't need to) - that a pack of cigarettes there costs $9, which would be - you do the math - $90 for a carton?? One won't get any sympathy. No one needs to smoke, like they do to eat. We know it is uhealthy - but then the risk of smoking is know, and all who smoke are already amply "penalized" -- by taxes on the cigarettes, restricted in where they can do it, ANDd by the insurance industry.. Which obese people are not. And their costs to the healthcare system may be just as high.

We all pay for healthcare in this country - one way or another.

A few tidbits according to CNN's "Why We Need a Tax on Obesity" in an interview with the Governor of New York:

The surgeon general estimates that obesity was associated with 112,000 deaths
in the United States every year

Today, we find ourselves in the midst of a new public health epidemic: childhood obesity.

What smoking was to my parents' generation, obesity is to my children's generation.

Last year, legitimate concerns about links between consumption of fast food and the prevalence of heart disease prompted New York City to ban the use of trans fats in restaurant food.

No one can deny the urgency of reducing the rate of obesity, including childhood obesity.

Obesity causes serious health problems like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It puts children at much greater risk for life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.

And what about adults?

If you, like so many, are trying to formulate the same New Year's Resolution for 2009 that you did for 2008, and 2007, and 2006 ... TO LOSE WEIGHT, GET IN SHAPE and reclaim your self-esteem and wellnes ... let me help you with a reading.

There are definite times when you will have more success with a weight loss/wellness shapeup regime.

FOR INSTANCE, Leos - get it going RIGHT NOW. Between January 1 and January 4 are the optimal times for you to start your wellness, weight loss program. Email me for a reading, sdunn@susandunn.cc .

Eclipse January 26 - but before that - OH BOY!

Welcome to a brand New Year.

Have you ordered your New Year reading yet? Free House Blessing Kit for first person to order theirs by emailing me at sdunmailto:sdunn@susandunn.cc . (see below)

I taking a look at the coming months, we will focus on three major events and how to USE THEIR ENERGY for the best outcome for you.

Cost is $40, phone or email.
THE LUCKIEST DAY OF THE YEAR, JANUARY 23-24

The Sun will meet jupiter. Magnificent luck of some kind - posession, material, spiritual, emotoinal, LOVE- will manifest. You can use this day for any reason and expect great results IF you are prepared. Engagement, marriage, lucrative business partnerhsips, move, new family (create your own if yours doesn't work for you), and see money come in, travel, or see health improve.

SOLAR ECLIPSE, JANUARY 26

Always signifies important, lifechanging beginnings and endings. The two go together. What it triggers usually take 6 months to unfold, like a lotus blossom. Unique opportunity to break old patterns, make major necessary changes in your life, even a transformation.

Mars will come in from February 4 until March 15 to amp this energy. Eclipses can initiate complete transformations, so if someone, or something, is taken away, let me help you see the bigger picture. The changes in you will affect how you are treated, so all aspects of your life will change - personal, business and love life. All for the best! Depending on what part of your chart is activated we can determine just what part of your life will be most affected. Find out with a reading. email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc

EXAMPLES:

Scorpio? Give up the struggle, but not the fight. You can no longer pretend that your perceptions of reality are not LIMITED BY OUTMODED BELIEF SYSTEMS. Time for a redo, my courageous friend. I mean, hasn't it got you tearing yourself apart? Get rid of the shrine in your house (it's OVER), and trade those beliefs (and things) willingly for a more hopeful vision of the future. THE PRICE OF A MORE FULFILLING LIFE TOMORROW IS TO SURRENDER YOUR CYNICISM, BUTTERNESS and REGRET TODAY. When you unclench yourself, you release your love ... and your lover.

Leo? An abrupt shift occurs as partner (business or social) surprises you with a change of feelings just when you thought you had your paw on it. GRRRRR. Fixed sign that you are, you may try to grasp it in your claws, to maintain the status quo, but it's not smart to hold on to anything that is not yours or not meant to be. Pay attention as you learn from others. That awful town you live in. That married man. Come on now ... Anyway silly cat, if you were born within 5 days of JULY 26, you will have double dip of luck on magical days (1-23/24). Leo is also only sign that has chance to lose weight if resolution is to begin in January - LIKE TODAY, January 1.

It's gonna be OKAY

If the eclipse falls in your 1st or 7th house you are working on yourself, on your marriage or your relationship. Let me check the house out for you too.

THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF 2009 ARE RIPE FOR BUILDING A RICH AND SATISFYING PERSONAL LIFE.

A fellow astrologers' call:

[During this time] you may break away from a relationship that no longer suits your needs, or you may be faced with changes beyond your control. The six months ahead will give you the time to sort through your feelings and explore other options. Remember: change is good! It's part of the plan. Change in thought, manner, speech, dress, lifestyle, career, health, family, expectations and goals are all part of the plan and the process of you creating a more fulfilled life. You may feel uncomfortable as you let go of what is familiar and you step way outside your boundaries to make room in your head and your heart for new ideas and ultimately a new lifestyle!

But - no guts, no glory.

LASTLY,
MERCURY RETROGRADE RETURNS

Hang on, Relief in Sight

At last - what you want you can reach for.

We have all been on a roller coaster for several weeks (months?) Up and down ... sounds great, OH NO ... expansion, contraction, got it in the bag - whoops, know what I want, no I don't ... this is it, but others won't cooperate.

Amounts to (depending on your astrological sign)

• frustration (Leo),
  
• anger Scorpio),
  
• defeatism (Aries. Aries, feeling defeated?? you KNOW it's bad),
  
• confusion (Gemini),
  
• tuning out (Libra),
  
• intellectualization (Taurus),
  
• feeling stuck (Pisces),
  
• and so forth.

If I left your sign out, you know what you've been going through.

Well relief is on the way. Big ideas will start to come, unless you hold them back from FEAR, as Mercury (the great communicator) moves into conjunct with Jupiter (the Big One).

Also Aquarius-the-Intelligent Moon will enable us. Get back to your dreams.

Call me for a reading, to move this forward. I can help you with the "fear" part and we've ALL got "nerves" after the past couple weeks - months.

I'm here to help. sdunn@susandunn.cc . 817-741-7223.

The Heavens Herald the Holiday Season

This is the Christmas Tree Cluster. In the middle is the Snowflake Cluster.

This is The Snowflake Cluster

This is the Christmas Tree Cluster

Both are located in the Monoceros Constellation, about 800 parsecs or 2600 light-years from Earth.

The stars in the Snowflake Cluster are only about 100,000 years old - in stellar terms, just babies. Eventually they will drift away, breaking up the snowflake pattern.

So enjoy it now!

URANUS ... he just will not leave us alone. And what a great rendition of him - all the fruit, the sweetness of Nature, the nourishment ... but he has the eyes of a satyr.

So what's happening now we need to know about?

We have an unusual clustering of planets to go with our Saturn-Uranus opposition. On the heels of the tumultuous Pluto transit. Remember - 3-6 months for the afterglow, fallout, or more precisely afterglow AND fallout. Yup, with Pluto, it's usually change .. both!

Tips:

• Self-respect and confidence - both of which you earn, by doing things. South Node in Leo says we have to have self-respect and confidence if we want to achieve the lasting, positive changes in our lives that Pluto ushered in. Pushed in. Shoved at us. OK, tormented us with.
• Cause for celebration: If you've done the work (and there's still time - schedule a reading NOW - email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc to schedule), the end of the year will manifest concrete expression of something that's been just an idea, a wish, for you for a long, looooong time. Hooray!
• Mercury and Saturn station retrograde in early January, so it's time to get it on, so to speak. Get it together and get it moving.
• Self-forgiveness. Saturn here and the lessons this stren task-master teaches that we need and do not like. You may have gotten some shocks, made some poor decisions, dealt with karma ... it's been a hard last couple of months. Now's the time to 'get' what it is you learned. Spirit keeps that part of us on the griddle that still needs cooking. Let it get cooked and you won't have to deal with it any more. SEE what you saw, HEAR what you heard, BELIEVE it, and use it.

From today's mailbag:

Q: She's holed-up like an animal. Doesn't want to see anyone. Not even me. Says she's a loser and isn't worthy of love. She took a degrading job and says she has nothing to live for. What can I do? I love her so.

A: Send me her birth date, time and place of birth and let me take a look at her chart. She's probably a fixed sign. Many people right now are on the edge and the more resistant and rigid the person, the more difficult, even traumatic, this Pluto transit has been. Because OH HOW WE HATE to let go of anything we've INVESTED in, ESPECIALLY if it's hatred!!

Remember that Pluto gets rid of what needs to be gotten rid of. It has also presented many of us with "impossible" decisions. You know, where we think both alternatives stink. Well what really stinks is thinking there are only TWO alternatives. There are always a million alternatives. It is not a binary world!!!!

Psychically I'd say she had something in mind she wanted that she didn't get and is having the adult version of a temper tantrum. Spirit had something else in mind. Remember with Pluto, we ask for things in general terms, i.e., "a love relationship with a man," not "Darren." Looked at psychically, why would you wish for Darren? Doesn't the wish already imply that Darren is not interested? Another example, don't ask for money, ask for security. Get it? Or at another level, don't ask for money, ask to be where money is.

Family issues take a long time to change, because it took a long time to set them up. The people in a family come together in this lifetime for a reason. Let me do this person's Spiritual Life Path Chart and take a look at what's going on karmically, as well. See if she would consent to let me do a reading for her.

And speaking of turning anger inward, from Astrology: The Art of Awareness, a cautionary tale about this energy to get our lives together and moving:

The Capricorn face of Mars is deadly serious, determined, and cautious; which is
blessed news considering that the first aspect Mars in Capricorn makes is face to face combat with Pluto igniting a brute force of will that if not tempered with prudence could turn into a harsh ruthlessness. The planet disposing Mars this month is Saturn stationing retrograde on January 1 and delivering a cautionary message that if we do not want to turn that brute force within we need be mindful to begin our New Year in victorious self-awareness

Ruthless? Intimidation? Depression? Brute force? These are not what is meant by making lasting and positive change in your life. Remember, "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword."

Let me help you establish a place and mind-set for change to happen. Lay the groundwork. Make the plan. Then put your shoulder into it. Let me help you with a Strategy (Strategic is one of my top 5 Strengths on the StrengthsFinder profile).

In fact, if you've got new ideas for change, take the StrengthsFinder and let me read it for you. It's the best assessment out there in my opinion. It will turn you inward to acute self-awareness. You know, so you quit self-sabotaging, quit trying to make pigs fly, quit trying to put your square self in your parents' round hole ... It feels so good when you realize who you are and why you are here, like when you quit sticking a hot poker in your eyeball.

You get the idea! It's get ready ... get set ... and a great time for a reading. Email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc .
