It was a woman who opened me up to astrology…I never wrote to thank her. She was a Gemini who played the Queen at the Renaissance Faire and did astrology readings when she wasn’t portraying the Queen. I was a mime/jester/juggler and ready for a new perspective. That was in 1974…and now, over 28 years later, I’m passing on the wisdom and information to a younger generation of people who want to understand their potential, their problems and their destiny. The early years were filled with a lot of reading, classes and there were tremendous breakthroughs on psychic and spiritual levels. The more you get into it, the more you get out of it. There were times when I was really out of it, but I think it was the drugs. Most of the time I was amazed at how my little bit of knowledge was able to help people become more insightful into their destiny.

Back in the early days, the most fun application of astrology was being able to figure out my compatibility with the opposite sex. I figured out why we call it just that…because everything you want, they want the opposite. So, it turned out that I was drawn to Cancers and Capricorns and Taurus and Scorpios…just like a Pisces should. I was having a tough time figuring out why I was so drawn to incompatible signs…but I still went to them, mainly just to experiment and experience, just as one should do when they are young and learning to become aware. My first four girlfriends were all Leos…a fact made understandable by my Leo rising. In the time since then, I’ve gone through the whole Zodiac several times, the exact number is not your concern, but bear in mind most of the activity was before the advent of AIDS. Yeah, that’s right…the swinging 70’s, when you had to have been locked in a closet to avoid getting high or laid. There was so much action for so long that it took a global epidemic to bring some sense to the people. I believe it was to begin the collective focus back to the true issues that face us. It is more important to know yourself as an individual than to get your rocks off with some skank you met at the local pub. .

Everything is in the horoscope. All you need to know about yourself, your life and its purpose and meaning. Attitudes, ideals, sex, drugs and rock and roll, career, spiritual quest, relationships and health, all that you hope to become and all that you have been, in this life and in previous ones are all indicated somewhere in your chart. We are spirit energy that inhabits a flesh body and we choose to return to this planet over and over to work out our karmic lessons. Don’t believe the literal heaven/hell argument, since we’re already living it here and now, to whatever degree you deserve. The more good you do, the more comes back to you in good ways. The boomerang effect of karma, they call it, mates. Defensive denial doesn’t let you see or accept the truth. Only seeking the truth of who you are and what part in life’s divine comedy you’re called upon to play will give you the power to fulfill your destiny. Time is running out for our planet and we have to work on cleaning it and ourselves up. .

So, step back from the craziness of the world in which you live and expand your knowledge of the universe in yourself and see how it’s all connected. The power of astrology and its manifestation in you comes from information with which you can make informed choices. It’s your decision.
