Pleiades Coming Up

PLEIADES COMING UP

Lunar Eclipse ... good time to talk about YOU and not THEM.

In the northern hemisphere, oh, it's been summer for quite a while now. Kids home from school. In Texas, a month of days over 100 degrees. Car trips with rest stops that are crowded and unplesant and there's too much junk food. Or not getting a vacation at all.

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).

It isn't called The Dog Days of Summer for nothing!!

Try using I-STATEMENTS.

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!

My car leaves at 2 p.m.
I'll be happy to buy ice cream cones for people who clean up their rooms.
I have lunch with people who are pleasant.
I'll take you to the ___ when I don't have to worry about fighting in the back seat.
in the back seat.
I'll listen when your voice is as calm as mine is.
I keep the toys I have to pick up. You can keep the ones you pick up.
I'll enjoy buying you clothes that I feel are appropriate.
I'll be happy to listen to you as soon as Mom and I finish our conversation.

Give the other person a choice, using statements like the ones above.

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.

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.

Don't Ask for it Unless You're Sure You Want it

I mean, don't mess with people right now. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Until around August 26th, the energy is going to be awful.

F'rinstance, if you've been dating a woman for a while, and a gift occasion arises, don't give her a ring. She'll see that ring box and ... There's plenty of other jewelry to choose from, guys. DON'T TEASE.

Especially, don't mess with the Fixed Signs and the Fire Signs right now, and if you're dealing with one who's both (like a Leo), be patient and gentle. Otherwise you're likely to get claws.

If you live in the Dallas area, be sure and come see me at the Dallas Psychic Fair every first Sunday. And bring your friends!

Mars Retrograde: Energy is Heating Up

Yes, Mars Retrograde is heating things up, for good or for ill. Tempers are more likely to flare, especially if you're a fire sign and you will find people over-reacting all over the place.

A GOOD use of the Mars Retrograde energy is to learn patience and emotional intelligence. When there is energy, there are always many ways to use it. If you are incensed about something, you can do what you can to right a wrong in an assertive fashion, OR you can take it out on someone else, or be aggressive to another person.

This is a time when emotions will be on our sleeves. If you're doing OK, you'll still have to deal with the people who aren't.

It's also a good time to learn there is a season for all things. We are all feeling a push to "solve this once and for all." Not only is there no such thing, but it's also not a wise thing to do. When you push, you get a push BACK.

Learn how to use this energy. Email me for a reading, semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com .

Combined with the holidays you may feel yourself going into some kind of black hole. Cancers and Scorpios will be more prone to do this, so if your partner is one of those signs, get a reading and check this out. So you can learn how to deal with it.

I'll be available all during the holidays. Please do not hesitate to call me or email me. I'm here to help.

California: Fire Raging Because of Too Much Air and Too Little Water

"[Witch Fire] is the worst fire this county has ever seen -- worse than the Cedar Fire [of 2003]," Sheriff Bill Kolende
AIR, FIRE, WATER and EARTH -- the elements we live with, and the elements of our signs and of those we relate to.

What a difference the degrees and mixtures make. We are seeing a grave example of this in California right now. The conditions which caused the current dangerous situation in California are fire, too much air (strong winds) and too little water (low humidity). If deprived of air, drenched with water, or suffocated with earth, the fires would go out.

What happens in relationships? Let's look at the fire sign, Leo.

If your partnership is Aquarius (air) and Leo (fire), if the Aquarius goes to the dark side - unemotional and detached - it will whip the Leo into a frenzy of passionate anger and likely the Aquarius will leave.

If the partnership is Scorpio (water) and Leo (fire), and the Scorpio goes to the dark side (cold, critical and unforgiving) it will extinguish the fire of the Leo's passion, and likely the Leo will leave. The same would occur if the partnership is Taurus (earth) with Leo (fire), and the Taurus goes to the dark side (lazy, self-indulgent, greedy), it will put the Leo's fire out. This one is more likely to be just a gradual falling apart.

Our prayers for those living in California, and those of us with loved ones and relatives there.

Here is a site where you can get current information for the San Diego area: San Diego Fire Resources (Witch Fire & others, Oct 2007) « Jim 2.0’s Blog

The fire situation in southern California remains critical where 12 uncontained large fires have burned more than 335,000 acres. Hundreds of homes and commercial buildings throughout the area have been damaged or destroyed. The Santa Ana winds continue to be a challenge as firefighters work to contain these blazes.
