April 26, 2003

Today would have been my late sister’s 54th birthday and while I miss her, she has another path to explore in the higher realms before she comes back to try it again. Yesterday would have been Deanna’s 59th birthday and the second Saturn return that she went through contributed to her leaving this plane. Here it is, Mercury retrograde and I’m talking about people who have passed over. It’s easy to dwell in the past during the retrograde because it’s about re-covering ground already gone over. With the Moon in Pisces, we could discuss some spiritual themes that are also Taurean, like goddess worship from pre-Judaism. Did you know they were worshipping a bull god and goddess during the Age of Taurus, just over four thousand years ago? It was an age when the feminine was in force and the men submitted…for a while, until they learned about gaining control through spreading fear. With that weapon, the Babylonians created the first great empire and began enslaving other tribes and civilizations. The desire for conquest was less about ideology than it was about control over resources. It generated a sense that you had to get what you can while you are alive, amassing wealth and power to dominate others. It was so not what women in charge would have ever done. With the female goddesses reigning, it was all about peace and plenty and living in harmony with nature and each other. Raising children was a communal project, with everyone participating in the educational programs. Perhaps the decline of co-operation was brought on by the introduction of money and possessions, which causes addictions and attachments. We want things that make us feel better because we have lost the connection of love and the infinite God within. The sign of the bull is concerned with values and self-worth. When you have some talent and appreciate the skill with which you labor and do a job that has substance and quality, then you are compensated accordingly. The worst problem in our economy is seeing the CEO’s of huge corporations getting gigantic bonuses as their companies go down in flames. I believe in taking personal responsibility for what your company does. If you take it to the pinnacle of success, you are worthy of a large bonus. If it’s just surviving, then you should not get any perks until it changes. People who indulge in wasteful spending never work a day of physical labor for the most part. They don’t understand the role of every member of their team or appreciate the poverty of the minimum wage earner on his payroll. Those at the bottom have a life of misery so they indulge in escapist activities like alcohol and drugs…or food. Some people who didn’t get what they wanted as a child may become shopaholics and buy things just to satisfy the urge to get things they want…but they don’t really want the things they buy. They are looking for something that may never come, like love and affection from an adoring parent. Sex and sensual pleasures are also high on the list of pleasures that sublimate us when we don’t get what we need. That’s a problem because with the Catholic Church forbidding birth control, populations are out of control and that only increases poverty and joblessness. It all comes down to money. And who has it? The top one or two percent of the population, many of whom run multi-national corporations. These are the people who control the government and are, themselves, former members of the government. You may have wondered about advertising and promotional campaigns like, “Got milk?” or “Beef…it’s what’s for dinner.” Well, the dairy industry and the beef industry fund the in-school food pyramid posters. They send millions of dollars into the pockets of senators and other government officials in order to saturate the schools around the country with their propaganda. Even now, with all our knowledge of what constitutes a healthy diet, there are far too many institutions that refuse to accommodate vegetarians. Do you think you could get a meat-free diet if you ended up in jail or prison? I doubt it. Now, there has just been some legislation passed for schools in CA who are beginning to offer veggie meals, eventually they will even offer Vegan food. Times change slowly and you have to work to change the system. One other thing just in…there’s a new study out that shows people who are overweight have a significantly higher risk of Cancer. So, if you want to narrow the ways you can die, by losing weight, you decrease it by at least two. Cardio-vascular problems are also the number one killer of women in this era. There are so many other things that will kill you. Next, I read in the paper this week about an anti-discrimination law being voted on in California. About 4% of births are transgender and at this time 100,000 transgenders would be affected by a bill in CA assembly, AB196, to halt discrimination against TG people in jobs and housing. One birth in 1,000 is XXY but this past year, 65,000 intersexed births occurred. Why do I bring this up? So that you can see it isn’t about the rigid duality of male and female. Stop genital mutilation by doctors! There are good reasons why these TG’s pop up through the gene pools every now and then. We are descended from hermaphrodites in ancient history and we may be returning to that as an evolutionary goal. Think of it this way…we split off from the great spirit as spirits without gender and have, through many incarnations, experienced lives as men and women. There are people in India known as the 3rd caste who are TG and they have their place in the social strata, too. It is wrong to hate those who are different from you. It doesn’t matter if it’s due to a happenstance of birth, such as a variance with normalcy or if it’s race or size. We are all God’s children and have to learn love and respect for every other one of His creations. Now, Two presidents have their birthdays this week…Grant, 27th and Monroe 28th. Of Monroe, much could be said regarding his foreign policy that prevented European nations from trying to re-colonize the American continents. It became called the Monroe doctrine and if we were to heed that as a guideline for our current world situation, we wouldn’t have our hands in so many foreign pies. He had a strong alliance with Jefferson and Madison and was Minister to France, as well. At home, however, there were growing problems with the boundaries for slavery and he hammered out the Missouri compromise, making it the last of the states where slavery was allowed. This caused things to brew under the surface for a while. He had Moon in Capricorn, so had a pragmatic side but with Uranus and Saturn in Pisces, he had visions for how things could change for the future. His Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Sag altered international relations far beyond our understanding. He was a two-term president, as was Grant, but Ulysses had a drinking problem and some scandals regarding the company he kept. With his Sun conjoining Jupiter and Saturn, he was an opportunist and an authoritarian. His Mars on the South Node made him a fighter from the start and it’s that drive that is also found in the charts of other presidents. He tried to run his presidency much as he ran the army. Needless to say, things didn’t go so well. Reconstruction was a time after the Civil War when Carpetbaggers went South and bought up businesses and land for cheap then made out big upon the turn around. He was secure enough with the position and enjoyed the comforts of the office. I wish you all were secure with your position in life. That is something we can help you with by summoning the power of astrology. It is time to call for a reading, get a lawyer or improve your life. Call now.

April 19, 2003

A very eventful week is upon us, as the Sun enters Taurus tomorrow, which is Easter, the renewal of life and we’ve just had a crazy Full Moon in Libra with Mars in a square to it. And Venus was square to Saturn on that day, as well, so if a fight broke out and a relationship ended up on the rocks and shoals of the coast of love, it couldn’t weather the storm of a difficult Full Moon. As for this week being holy and sending a religious message to the masses, let me say that all patriarchal religions descend from a common source in Babylon and that was after the elimination of the powerful Mother Goddess. The redeemer cults and messianic faiths have little to do with the original spiritual practices that held earlier civilizations together in peace for thousands of years. Here’s a thought, as we approach Earth Day on Tuesday…humans have been civilized longer than most scientists will reveal, mainly because if they divulge the truth, the funding will be cut off and their work will never be published. You see, there have been finds that date back 250,000 years, long before the 40,000 years of Australian Aborigines or any other human cultures. Even scientists can’t avoid having to deal with cover-ups. We know that there have been many translations of the bible and you can’t expect to get a true understanding of the original teachings when you read corrupt and manipulative texts like the King James perversion of the Good Book. It was written by excessively puritanical writers at a time when free speech and casual sex were taboo. The mere mention hellfire and damnation would be abomination to the master. The lack of love in the book would tear His heart out. If He were to return, he would say, “Jesus Christ, crucify me again!” What they don’t teach you is that he spent a lot of time with the Essenes, a purist cult of Jews who had ritual bathing as part of their religious practice. In fact, you might be familiar with a phrase that originated from them. ”Cleanliness is next to godliness.” I wish more people would think for themselves and do some research into their history and uncover the truths that I have found. One of the links to some good information about things that have been covered up is Nexusmagazine.com and is on my website. As you do the research, you find out things you wish you hadn’t uncovered. Earlier in life, I withdrew into a world of fantasy and science fiction books, like any self-respecting Pisces. As I gathered wisdom from experience, I realized I had to know and express TRUTH! That has become even more obvious to me in the last year as my progressed Sun and Jupiter made a conjunction. Some of you think I have become obsessed by the political games that have been happening but that isn’t the case at all. Politicians will always be politicians but there is something that has been a growing concern of many of us and that is the loss of our basic freedoms and the tyranny of control of the masses by the few. Get off your Prozac now, even it means you have moods that fluctuate. It is better to feel than to be a mindless bliss ninny, as my Libra friend Melissa was fond of saying. Taurus is a sensual sign of touching, tasting, smelling, feeling, hearing and seeing. If you deaden your senses by using drugs, you are letting those who are drugging you take your money and make you impotent. Two thousand years ago a pattern was set for ritual sacrifice of people who would set out to change the world and rise to the occasion when tyrants destroy the rights of the masses of good populations. Jesus was crucified by the Romans because the Jews complained about his discordant and heretical speeches to the people. In order to keep a relative peace in his jurisdiction, Pontius Pilate made an example of him, not knowing the profound result to come. This was not the first time a Son of God came to Earth to redeem the people. 1,200 years before Christ, Virishna lived a similar circumstance as did Krishna and several others, all of which you can read about on Davidicke.net if you are surfing the net. In fact, Buddha was another one, along with Mohammed, who lived exemplary lives and were enlightened souls and true messengers from God. There are some significant differences which I don’t care to debate now but with most religions, you have heaven and hell and yet, not with Buddhism, which has a doctrine of rebirth that differs from my understanding of reincarnation. This is why people are loath to discuss religion. By the way, Buddha was a Taurus and Muhammad may have been an Aries, Confucius was a Libra and Jesus was most certainly a Pisces. Forget the December 25th date of convenience that the Romans put down because it happened to be a festive holiday called Saturnalia. Personally, I find that religion is based upon mythology derived from extremely ancient histories and even extraterrestrial encounters. It is possible that the Virgin Mary, who was not the first virgin to give birth to a master teacher, was visited by aliens who impregnated her with a special seminal fluid to give the child very unique qualities. It was through alien interbreeding that we were able to advance with leaps and bounds over previous humanoid species. After mass extinctions, populations had to be reseeded. Did you know that the Sun is getting warmer by .7 degrees every one hundred years? This is a good reason we’re experiencing the melting of the ice caps and yet, this is a cyclical event. It was about 10,000 thousand years ago when we came out of the last Ice Age. It coincided with the rising of the oceans and the torrential rains that were reportedly Noah’s Flood. There are Western Hemisphere tales of major floods at the same time as well as Asian stories, too, about 5,000 years ago. But who knows exactly when, right? Let’s hope to God we don’t destroy our planet and learn to love each other. This Wednesday is Secretary’s Day, with the Moon in Aquarius, so treat those who make your appointments and phone calls a lot better this week. And be friendly and come up with a cool surprise. A few more things…if you have any legal problems, especially criminal actions, we’ve got one of the finest lawyers around. His name is Sammy and he’s the Jewish Jonnie Cochran, as Steve refers to him. Our man Sam will get you out of a jam. Yes indeed, Mr. Weiss will save you from the police. For a small tariff, he’ll rescue you from the sheriff. The 23rd is James Buchanan’s birthday, one of 4 Taurus presidents and if you don’t remember which one he is, he was right before Lincoln. He was the only bachelor President we’ve had. His First Lady was his niece. Nice. For one thing, he had Moon square Saturn and his Venus did not make any aspects…plus it was in Gemini. He may have had a hard time deciding what he wanted with so many possibilities and no choices in the end. I’m going to incorporate our history into these monologues when it’s appropriate. Next week we’ll have two. The most represented sign in the Presidency is…Capricorn, the sign of authority. Next most frequent sign is Aquarius, for the popularity and ideals of the people of that sign are embraced by many. I hope that you embrace astrology as a way of understanding the cosmic forces that emanate throughout the galaxy. As we move from Aries into Taurus, let us sustain the impetus that got you going in the first place. Dig in and do some gardening. ‘Tis the season.

April 12, 2003

Tomorrow is Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday and I wonder why we don’t celebrate it…or Ben Franklin’s for that matter. After all, if it weren’t for those two, Washington wouldn’t have won the War of Independence. That is another Aries theme we should consider but war without a structure to follow it leads to anarchy. For an example, just look at the French Revolution, since the aftermath of that gave rise to Napoleon. There is much wisdom in the phrase, “He who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it” and it’s too bad The Bush League isn’t very good at history…oh, I’ve read Cheney likes the history of war but the civilization building that comes after he’s not acquainted with, apparently.

We have, today, a symbolic grand trine of the Sun in Aries to the Moon in Leo and Pluto in Sagittarius. It would seem that strong leadership aimed at a world that is transforming is a necessity. However, Venus is squaring the opposition of Pluto and Saturn, so destroying long-term relationships with old allies will undo the economic structure of the world. We need a return to the principles on which this great nation was founded, the right to express your thoughts and practice your beliefs without discrimination. We need a return to private enterprise and individually owned business. We must turn away from dependence on corporations who buy off politicians and enact their agendas through laws that destroy the freedom of the people. It is time to do your own thing, America.

There was a time when your name was a reflection of what you did for a living. There were and still are names like, Baker, Cook, Shoemaker, Mason, Smith, Carpenter and Miller. These people had family businesses and trained their children in the same field. The eldest son would inherit the family business and pass it on to his son. Can you imagine today being Mr. Systems Analyst? I’ve been called Mr. Astrologer but it’s not exactly a common trade and yet it works for me. It was in the 70’s that someone predicted a collapse of the economy and the only way to survive was to have a talent or trade with which you could barter. Well, that day may yet be on the horizon.

Our government has paid out billions of dollars to other countries to be our friends. What idiocy…buying friendship because you make enemies of old allies. Franklin was our ambassador to France and was followed by Jefferson in the same role because without the French, we would still be subjects of the British crown. As it appears, with Tony Blair’s vehement support of Bush, we still have those apron strings tied tightly about the Queen’s bum. We may as well be her gaggle of corgi dogs for all we’ve been through. It is British and American oil companies that stand to gain the most in the aftermath of the current conflict and our vice president’s former company gets a huge contract to clean up the oilfields and cart off billions of barrels and dollars. I will say this out loud because you need to think about it…no industrialists should ever serve in government or public office since it represents a gross conflict of interest.

Did you know that Rumsfeld as well as the Bush daddy worked high up in the pharmaceutical industry? Did you ever wonder why you see so many more commercials for drugs on TV these days? Say no to drugs but especially pharmaceuticals. Oh yeah, and Nutrisweet, also known as Equal is from the same drug company Rumsfeld worked for, so use something better if you use sweetener…Sweet One. I just did a search online and several sites came up proclaiming Nurtisweet a poison! No doubt Rumsfeld knew this. Hey. I’m not making this up, people. All those soda companies that use it don’t care about your health. In fact, one, Pepsi, was kicked out of Cuba by Castro and threw in with Nixon to try to overthrow the dictator. Rumsfeld, Bush daddy and Cheney all worked for Nixon and they are guilty by association. These people are destroying our American way of life and until Americans everywhere realize it and take them out of office, we will continue to have wars and diminishing freedoms as well as poisons in our foods.

Whatever happened to the commandment, “Thou Shalt Not Kill”? Do these people who claim to be good Christians know anything of the most basic of commandments? Since tomorrow is Palm Sunday and Thursday is Passover, I suppose I should mention that all the western religions come from Judaism and that we all worship the same God. The devil is in the details, as has been said by many, and we have been spared none by preachers who detail what they present as God’s honest truth, their perspectives on how we are to live if one is to attain everlasting peace. First of all, excuse me while I choke on their words. Here we are in hell and continually reincarnating back into it until we find love within our hearts and learn to love others. Isn’t that what Jesus came to teach? Didn’t he also come to teach that we are already at one with God, that there is nothing to earn or attain? If love and life everlasting are already our province, what need have you of a shepherd to lead you, unless it be to the slaughter? The master said that you are closer to God in your own closet than in a temple or church. You are even closer to God in nature, where He/She created everything that is natural. It is when nature becomes subverted and privatized for selfish and materialistic purposes that we must examine the motives for it.

It was just before the Enron scandal that Bush wanted to invest all of Social Security into the stock market and privatize it. Can you imagine what a horrific scenario would have befallen many of our S.S.I recipients? George Orwell wrote in Animal Farm, “All pigs are created equal…but some are more equal than others.” When there are rich people in political office getting richer off of the suffering of the many and you, with no money vote for them, you are contributing to your eventual slavery. You aren’t free because you have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet. You have to struggle with less of the things you need or want while those in power hoard all of the profits and give you a pittance of your worth. The minimum wage should be at least doubled in order for anyone to be able to live and even at that, it’s not enough. Tripling it would be a start and even then you wouldn’t be able to buy a house or a new car. Meanwhile the heads of corporations are taking home 7 figure incomes and bonuses.

We need a new birth of freedom…economic freedom and the only way to do that is to get the corruption out of government. I am working on a program that would stimulate the economy but we need your support. Your donations and readings you order, along with the merchandise you buy from me will help to finance this venture. I realize the economy is bad but now more than ever, we need your financial support. Call it an investment in your freedom and that of your children. We need to go to war against oppression and it starts here and now. Take action and make a pledge to support your local astrologer and the power team. We can’t do it without you and we’re doing it for you. Freedom begins with a phone call. Now! One final thought…it’s about the most overused and irrelevant word in the English language today. Basically…excuse me, but something either is or isn’t…it isn’t “basically.” My former assistant annoyed my by using that word as an answer or even a sentence in and of itself. Even an astrologer I respect highly, Stephen Forrest overuses the word as well. Let’s be conscious of the words we use and stop using a pointless word. I’m done, so you can start. Call in now.

April 5, 2003

Today is a day of exaltations. The Sun is exalted in Aries, the Moon in Taurus, Venus in Pisces and Mars in Capricorn…all are exalted in their respective signs. So, what does that mean? They operate with a higher level of energy, more power and greater effectiveness than even the signs they rule. These are strange times and many great qualities are being brought out of people under duress and high stress. Getting a job done and doing it with bravery and compassion as well as dogged determination seems to be standard operating procedure in wartimes like this.

We share a planet with billions of people, however and the Aries energy can make it seem like we don't care about anyone else. While that may be true of many higher echelon members of a certain ruling class with greedy fingers in every financial pie around the world, the common fighting man or woman overseas has no motive of personal gain. In fact, they are often cheated out of benefits by the very government they fight for. Just ask any Viet Nam War veteran if they were properly respected by the V.A. when they came home. There was the Gulf War Syndrome a decade or so ago that left many vets wounded psychologically or even physically and yet, the government did little to help them back into a healthy state of being. Part of the knock against Aries is a tendency to care little about what anyone thinks. But if we are to uphold any dignity in the aftermath of war, we have to aid those who put their lives on the line. This is my way of saying that we must support our troops but not necessarily the people who placed them in harm's way. I still believe we should not be over there and that this is as illegal a war as Viet Nam was. When you do the research, you'll find that it is as much about drug trafficking as it is oil. These are two of the three major motivators for those who wish to control everything. GOD, to these people, is an acronym for Gold, Oil and Drugs. I can produce research from hours of endless internet study regarding the veracity of this statement. Follow the money trail and it will lead to the corruption.

We are still in the Saturn/Pluto opposition and the Jupiter/Neptune opposition and the first is big oil while the latter is international drug traffic. You want to understand yourself as a part of a greater whole and it begins with understanding your chart. As Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence: WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government… In other words, when a government is tyrannical, even while stating that a war is being conducted for the freedom a nation, it should be overthrown. I am not a believer in violent revolution or even peaceful protest, as they haven't seemed to have any effect on the ostrich of a president we have in office. He refuses to acknowledge the millions of people in this country who are not falling for the lies and deceptions he puts out. All we can do is pursue the legal means of removing such a treasonous group of men from their power place in the high offices of this country through impeachment. Don't sit by and watch your taxes go up in smoke while your retirement money disappears.

There has been a plan to go to war in the Middle East since the mid 70's, once we were out of Viet Nam. Think of it this way, every time we have a Republican president, we can expect war because their people are what was termed in the 60's as the military-industrial complex. They are the Hawks who exist to wage war. This is the Aries theme: to fight and kill with Mars, as the bringer of war on their side. When will they ever learn that peace is as necessary to life as breathing? When can we travel around the world again and have friendly faces greet us, glad for the commerce and trade of cultures? When can we stop hating other religions, races or creeds because they are different in appearance from us? When can we learn how to follow the teachings of the master and learn how to love one another and turn the other cheek? Why don't we send out messages of love and hope to everyone we know and pray that they will pass it along in the spirit of brotherhood and spiritual unity. We are one in the spirit of the infinite God and He/She is not into separation from the source.

This week we had a New Moon in Aries and Jupiter turned direct in Leo, so the fire reigns from the sky and singes those on the ground. As such, it's been a hectic week and rapid developments have occurred in many areas of life. One of the good things is that I have ordered a new printing of my book as well as a supply of astrology wall clocks. I will have them by the full Moon, so when you order, you won't have to wait long at all. Another factor is all the calls coming in for readings, which is great in spite of the fact that I seem to be getting busier with other areas of my life. But we have two other astrologers as part of the power team now. Kristin and Steve have a lot of experience between them and while I am still the old master of the art and science of astrology, I would easily have either one of them read for me…so they can read for you, too. Some developments in the area of my TV show have been heating up as well as one or two of my movie projects and I may be called away for a time to take care of that business. We'll maintain the show with the rest of the power team and they will offer their services to you in my place and you need not hesitate to consult with them, since knowledge is power and wisdom is having the power to put the knowledge to use as only astrology can. And don't forget that a psychic like Anne can also be of tremendous spiritual insight and benefit when you are feeling lost and have already had a good astrology reading. We all care very much for your spiritual and material growth on this plane of existence.

You need substance to survive physically but the prime purpose of life is to gain the understanding of love in its spiritual dimension which is why my associate, Kenneth, is developing a software program for astrological matchmaking that we are testing now. If you are looking for a relationship or are in one that you believe to be a soul mate relationship, send us the info at Leofish22 and we will see what comes up. It's all for love, the only reason we are here, really. Now is the time as the flowers bloom and thoughts of love are in the air. Spring into action now. Order the clock, so you know what time it is and order the book so you can understand astrology better.
