Mars Retrograde and the Stock Market

Calm down, take a break, take is easy

Typically, when there are combinations of Mars, Jupiter and Uranus, we get panic and hysteria and then make impulsive actions that don't play well in the long run.

At least when we aren't aware of what's going on astrologically. Mars is about taking action, but in impulsive ways, and during a Retrograde, our timing can be way off. We suddenly decide to "get this settled once and for all," like end relationships, pop the question, get in or out of the market. When the irrational Uranus moves in around Mars, look out.

Mars Retrograde will continue until January 30, 2008.

Expect turbulence on all fronts - highs and lows. Jupiter will amp this all up. If you get irrational, you'll pop the question when you don't mean it, lose your temper and lose a good romance, or buy high and sell low. It's the crazy urge to DO SOMETHING. Act, and act now. This is not always advisable, and certainly not for a long-term investment philosophy - or anything else in your life!

Jupiter's presence tends to exaggerate everything and give a false sense of urgency.

So hang on for the ride on this one, taking careful consideration about what you do. There's a big urge to act, do something, worse of all -- do ANYTHING. In many cases, the best policy is to wait and see. What we're seeing now in the markets is likely to pass (as it has before, and will again). Avoid mass hysteria, and pay attention to what's going on in your for the long haul.

It's good policy to hold the center when there is panic and hysteria abounding.

And then we have the holidays.

Take it easy, and reassure yourself with a reading. It can stop the madness.

Identity Theft, Astrological Sign

As a public service, I would like to identify people who are at risk for having their identity stolen. I need to study the charts of people this has already happened to. It would be nice to have the date it happened and/or was first discovered. If you’ve had your identity stolen, and would like to help keep this from happening to others, or to learn how to work with this propensity in your chart, please participate in my study by emailing me at semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com .

"Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and 'thine' and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy." - Henri J. Nouwen

Thanksgiving - you reap what you sow

All through our lives, we reap what we sow.

This is a great Thanksgiving poem that reminds us that if we want a good harvest, we have to work earlier in the year.

From my house to yours,
a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving

THE CORN SONG,
from John Greenleaf Whittier

Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!

Let other lands, exulting, glean
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine;

We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged vales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest-fields with snow.

Through vales of grass and meads of flowers
Our plows their furrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Of changeful April played.

We dropped the seed o'er hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.

All through the long, bright days of June
Its leaves grew green andfair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon
Its soft and yellow hair.

And now, with Autumn's moonlit eves,
Its harvest-time has come;
We pluck away the frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.

Then shame on all the proud and vain
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessing of our hardy grain,
Our wealth of golden corn!

Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchard's fruit,
The wheat-field to the fly;

But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God!

The Sun is in Scorpio til November 12. This has been a challenging "birthday" time for Scorpios with real potential for transformation. Happy Birthday Scorpio. Congratulations if you make it to a new RE-BIRTH day.

Combined with this, Mercury is in Scorpio till December 1. More growth or regression for Scorpio, depending on how conscious they are. (Readings help whether it's you, or you are dealing with a Scorpio.)

Venus us un Libra - let's all try and make up our minds about our love life. If you had a problem, it will get worse. Get some stability and direction from a reading. This will last through November 5, full moon notwithstanding, it's an 'iffy' time for our romances.

Mars is in Cancer, and in Retrograde. This means lots of intensity around home and family and relationships. Some see it as anger - I see it as emotions - energy - and a time to grow and learn in an exceptional way.Are you prepared?
Combine this with the holidays and we have CONFUSION, even chaos. Misdirected energy. Flaring tempers. Regressing to past memories of home. The Scorpio ready to sting.

How to Please Your Scorpio Guy

How to please your Scorpio guy?
Oh, how they love the mystery and surprise.
They're also big on appearance, and presentation - like you, and also their food.
Here are some tips:

• They are the elemental sensual sign - so figs! But you knew that. Fresh figs are best. Fig newtons will do.
• Not big on sweets.
• Fruit cake of all things. I've never known a Scorpio who didn't love a dense, packed fruit cake.
• Dress like you're worthy of him, LOL. Choose deep mysterious royal colors like black, royal purple or dark red.
• Anything with a hidden center - bacon wrapped chestnuts, deviled eggs, anything stuffed, also sensuous things like raw oysters, grapes and POMEGRANATE. Jelly filled doughnuts, that pound cake with the sour cream in the middle, that molten chocolate cake - and put a little hazelnut in the chocolate. It's best when the little surprise is "hidden" so fried surprises are great.
• Go to a dark, mysterious place. Dark lighting! Or have your house very dark and mysteriously sensual and romantic. Try black sheets or royal purple silk sheets on the bed.
• Slightly piquant cheeses like feta and cream cheese.
• The CLASSIC cheese cake, please; skip all the fruity stuff (unless you can figure how to get it in the middle, LOL)

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.

Mars Retrograde lurches forward. Expect some intensity tomorrow, people who can't handle their anger energy. May be especially trying for Scorpio and Leo. Do your best to stay calm. This is the "time will tell" Marsa Retrograde.

On the other hand, moon in Cancer will give us all new perspective on our emotions and relationships.
