This is not subtle energy. Collectively and personally, something is being

These are questions that seem to dogg all of us, regardless of beliefs and interests...and a question that Astrology attemps to answer but....Astrology is such a vast landscape, larger than most people would think…and this is just considering what we label as ‘western’ astrology, not considering

Such was the case recently when I stumbled upon a footnote reference to the 2009 dissertation of a PhD candidate at the University

His rampage was so vile and its impact on the course of history so indelible, it boggles the mind to remember that Henry's zeal was sparked by the love for a scheming woman and let's

While it has been suggested that there are over 200 million possible combinations of the 38, we can easily look at each of them from a far simpler perspective;

The place simply exudes legends, mysteries and improbable lore. One cannot speak about Glastonbury without the mystical King Arthur immediately coming to mind as well as speculative stories about the Holy Grail, Joseph of Arimathea and of course,

Logically, it might seem that these two systems of medicine would differ from each other, given the diversity among the cultures that embrace them. The reality is that at their roots they are more
- [WRITING THE BOOK, FINDING THE AGENT](https://gayemack.com/2011/08/17/writing-the-book-finding-the-agent/) - Seems everyone wants to write a book…and a lot of people do…and they do it well. But this is only half of the story…the rest falls into the nebulous world of having your work published by someone other than you...although this is always an option. Years ago an author friend of mine whose several books

BACH'S "PINE" FLOWER REMEDY FOR SHAME-BASED GUILT: THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING](https://gayemack.com/2011/08/19/dr-bachs-pine-flower-remedy-for-shame-based-guilt-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving/) - Among Dr. Bach's famous 38 flower remedies, the negative emotional state of Pine is one that I see in clients a great deal of the time and hear about when I am teaching. While it is not among Bach's original '12 Healers' but rather one of his 'final 19' remedies (discovered between 1934-35), nevertheless it

Diocesan exorcist, then British author, Phil Rickman's 'Merrily Watkins' series is for you! I discovered Merrily, her

So the question is; on your internal channels what did you think about, reconsider during this retrograde? Did you map out adjustments to your plan, set a course ahead that includes these? If so, forward movement can now prove

BACH'S 'STAR OF BETHLEHEM' FOR SHOCK AND TRAUMA](https://gayemack.com/2011/08/29/dr-bachs-star-of-bethlehem-for-shock-and-trauma/) - Star of Bethlehem, one of the most powerful remedies in the famous 38 Bach Flower Remedies repertoire, is classically described as THE remedy for 'shock and trauma', whether it be a very recent shock or trauma or one that is very old, yet remains at some level within our consciousness and our bodies. I had not

BACH'S GENTIAN DURING JUPITER'S RETROGRADE](https://gayemack.com/2011/09/02/the-lesson-of-dr-bachs-gentian-during-jupiters-retrograde/) - On August 30th Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, began its annual four-month back up motion in the heavens. This mammoth planet known to astrologers as the King of the Gods, the planet of expansion, optimism and good fortune now bids us to contemplate a course correction. As I mentioned in my

The Cornish coast is just such a place. Not exactly a time saver to get to (maps are deceiving!)... it is a bloody

On 9/11, I had just begun giving an 8 a.m. training(outside in the gorgeous early morning ) to the Whole Body
- [OH WHERE OR WHERE HAS MY ELECTRONIC QUERY GONE?](https://gayemack.com/2011/09/13/oh-where-or-where-has-my-electronic-query-gone/) - In my last post under writer's work, I talked about the daunting business of finding literary agent representation...an undertaking not for the faint of heart. While this search can be overwhelming and at times discouraging, one of the things that has changed in the last 20 years is that a majority of agents now accept

Over the years I've heard the following phrases to describe a Pluto transit through a chart: "the cosmic 2x4" or "the cosmic enema"...either way, the message reads "if you don't clean it (whatever 'it'

That is, if you like elusive and complex protagonists immersed in tales that are intertwined . I was first introduced to FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast in 'Relic' , back in (good lord), 1995 and was immediately hooked....eleven books later, details regarding

In this sense, Walnut helps us cut the 'ties that bind', a phrase often quoted

Libra, the 7th sign of the zodiac with its glyph of scales symbolizes harmony, peace, love and beauty in our relationships and environment. However this new moon also comes in as a 'super-moon',

Whitby Abbey is starkly perched on high cliffs over looking the seaside village of Whitby on the north Yorkshire coastline . Windswept and desolate doesn't begin to describe the feeling. Having wanted to

Although this trip will include seeing friends and extended family, I have a specific purpose for this journey. The focus this time will be on northern Scotland--up near Aberdeen, oddly an area of Scotland I've never before visited . I want

Located to the south of Aberdeen, Scotland, Dunnottar is dramatically perched on a massive flat topped rock of sheer proportions that end into the crashing sea. The visual effect of its physical presence is definitely an outward representation of

My experience has been that when traveling, especially out

Why is this? When Pluto is ‘transiting’ (hitting) a sensitive point in our charts, such as our Natal Sun, Moon, or Ascendant, (and there are others depending on the

Where I got 'February' is a mystery with no explanation other than Neptune, the planet whose energy can distort our thinking and perceptions, is currently making some hard

BACH’S CERATO HEAD-ON](https://gayemack.com/2011/11/19/turning-retrograde-in-sagittarius-mercury-doubles-up-its-energy-meeting-dr-bachs-cerato-head-on/) - If you read my last post, you’ll know there’s a LOT happening in the heavens on Thanksgiving. Included in the coming attractions, little Mercury, ‘messenger of the Gods’, ‘director of all forms of communication’, will begin its final retrograde motion of 2011 as it appears to back up in its orbit until December 13th.

BACH’S WATER VIOLET](https://gayemack.com/2011/11/23/uranus-the-light-bringer-of-lightbulb-moments-for-dr-bachs-water-violet/) - As I wrote in one of my previous postings, the on-going square between Pluto and Uranus is such a big deal that I’d be revisiting these two planets from time to time, particularly to look at how the energies of these heavenly bodies can and do interact with the various energetic characteristics of Dr. Bach’s
- [SHOCKING MYSELF IN THIS NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE](https://gayemack.com/2011/11/28/shocking-myself-in-this-new-moon-solar-eclipse/) - As I wrote in my last posting, Thanksgiving was framed by a new moon solar eclipse in fiery Sagittarius at 2 degrees. Those (including astrologers) who subscribe to the belief that eclipse energy triggers change, solar eclipses open new doors diverting us onto a different external channel in some way…often this comes out of nowhere
- [DR. BACH'S 'MUSTARD' FOR SEASONAL GLOOM](https://gayemack.com/2011/12/03/dr-bachs-mustard-for-seasonal-gloom/) - If Colonel Mustard did the dastardly dead in the library with a pistol, he’s clearly not your man to help with seasonal gloom. As I look out my office window at the December rain that's pouring down, I’m reminded there’s an emotional fog that can come with the onset of the winter season or suddenly

Aside from Mercury going direct on Tuesday after its approximate three week retrograde, the on-going Pluto/Uranus Square and tomorrow’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in

BACH'S “OVER-WHELMED ELM” FOR THE HOLIDAYS](https://gayemack.com/2011/12/15/dr-bachs-over-whelmed-elm-for-the-holidays/) - As the Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s draw near, so does the stress that comes with these celebrations…on top of the astrological buzz that I’ve mentioned in past postings…and this month is crammed, that’s for sure. However, it doesn’t really matter if you are ‘in to’ astrology…the annual return of the holiday season always

However, I have a good excuse for this temporary absence...at least in my mind and it falls into the category of 'there are no accidents'. It has been almost 20 years since I attended

On January 23rd Mars turned 'retrograde' and will not station 'direct' again until April 13th. As I have written in previous postings, any

Currently I'm experiencing this Mars effect in the 'circumstances of life areas '(the houses) of my own chart which have to do with my 'work in the world' and 'creativity'.

Susan is an historical fiction author and if you like reading about the Tudor era, I recommend reading her works. As for Rick Santorum's remarks when

Perhaps it's the fantasy of it all, being able to put one's self in the shoes of the characters or perhaps it's the opportunity to be an armchair editor with the critical voice that says, 'don't

And, just when we thought we could see the

But for those of us intrigued by, work in or study astrology, yesterday’s event signals change. Change isn't easy. In fact most of us resist it on a sliding scale that ranges from

This said, once

What I found 'interesting' in reading the following excerpt is that

Ruled by the planet Uranus, individually and globally we're being pushed to embrace innovation, individuation and collaboration...a mouthful. This said, illuminating this Aquarian moon is the Sun in heart-centered Leo, reminding us that we must not forget to be true to our Soul's intent for us

While I've posted from time to time about this fascinating community, the opportunity to learn more of their extremely complex history
- [POMEGRANATES AND BLESSINGS](https://gayemack.com/2013/09/20/pomegranates-and-blessings/) - Slightly different from what I typically write about, for this post I welcome my good friend, Judy Tsafrir, MD as my guest. Judy is a holistic psychiatrist with a busy practice in Boston. I highly recommend following her blog, as she's incredibly multifaceted as a mind/body/spirit oriented physician, evolutionary astrologer, Tarot practitioner and expert in nutrition.

My visits to the UK are always crammed full of seeing friends, extended family and business contacts; no time to reflect. But now back in Chicago, settling into

BACH'S CERATO FLOWER REMEDY](https://gayemack.com/2013/10/21/mercurys-retrograde-in-spooky-scorpio-meets-dr-bachs-cerato-flower-remedy/) - On the heels of the powerful Full Moon in Aries last Friday, little Mercury, ‘messenger of the Gods’, ‘director of all forms of communication’, begins its final retrograde motion of 2013 today as it appears to back up in its orbit until November 10th. On the practical level as always with a Mercury retrograde, it’s wise

The final 'hit' will happen on December 15th, 2014, but between then and now, we'll continue to feel the intensity of these two planets as they tease each other with the energetic tension created between

BACH'S GENTIAN](https://gayemack.com/2013/12/14/that-old-devil-saturn-and-dr-bachs-gentian/) - Recently a gifted medium friend of mine gave me an unsolicited message: "Follow Saturn." At first I thought this odd, as this friend's knowledge regarding astrology is modest. However the more I thought about it, I recalled my 'transit' chart reading with Steven Forrest last spring which focused heavily on Saturn transiting the 12th house of

When we study a client's birth chart through the evolutionary lens we’re presented with a powerful tool that metaphorically offers a map and compass that reveals our Soul’s unique agenda and pathway for this lifetime. On one hand, this process presents each of us with the opportunity to confront psychological karmic energy using

Judy's thoughts on the second Saturn return within the cycle of life offers a wonderful perspective on the importance of this energy through the years of what is life's final trimester for most of us. In traditional astrology, Saturn has always been viewed

BACH'S CERATO AND HOLLY](https://gayemack.com/2014/02/12/mercury-goes-direct-mars-retreats-the-evolutionary-message-and-bach-remedies-for-riding-the-wave/) - Astrologically speaking, 2014 is starting off with a bang, so much so that it's hard to keep one's bearings. Among the more recent events, the brief but nevertheless intense square, mid January between Venus and Mars reappears again just as Mars retrogrades in Libra, March 1st on the heels of Mercury going direct in Aquarius.

For 900 years, myth and speculation have flourished as to the cause of this catastrophic event. The majority speculation put forth by historians is that unusual winds on the morning of May 25, 1184 were responsible, causing an

Through the years treasure seekers and speculators have included the holy crusaders who put siege to Montsegur's fortress for nine months prior to the fire, the 1930's amateur archaeologist,

Sadly however, ignorance, fear and religious control issues proved to be the death knell for this sacred science. Fortunately in more recent times, wiser perspectives are bringing legitimate astrology to forefront again. Through the lenses of evolutionary, cartographical, financial

Certainly she was a fascinating woman-- so much so that scholars, historical fiction authors and Hollywood, can’t seem to get enough of her; nor can I. If someone were to ask, “if you could have dinner with anyone from

Added to this, there have been and are, on-going ‘T-Squares’ involving three powerful planets. While these configurations might seem less intense,

However, a few weeks ago I was asked to write a piece on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for the Chicago-based, Love is Murder writer's conference newsletter. For the past fourteen

My guest for this post is the best-selling author of The War of the Roses, Warren Adler. Warren's piece on 'Rejection

Well exactly, sort of, four months since my last post but I'm trying to mend my delinquent ways! I won't even bother with listing excuses here as they aren't any different than anyone else who writes blog posts and falls off the wagon! So, going forward, I wanted to write about

Poor Saturn. Ancient and traditional astrologers assign

Through the lens of Evolutionary Astrology, there's a connection between positive interpretations of the twelfth house, Neptune and Pisces and the guiding philosophy of southern France's 13th century heretical Cathars. For the moment put

The discovery of this devotional panel depicting the 14th c execution of Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster is an extraordinary find, worth the read and certainly worth the visit if you are, or plan to be in

Over the last few years, I've blogged about this three times per year astrological event, particularly concerning the deeper meaning of Mercury's motion for each of us.

In this earlier piece I discussed why the Cathar beliefs of the 12th century mirrored astrology's 12th house, ruled by the sign of Pisces and the nebulous planet Neptune. For this post, I'd like to another look at the Cathars through the evolutionary

So how did the Cathar attitude concerning women evolve? In general, the women of the Midi had far greater moral latitude than
