US citizens eligible to vote on the 4th November have a monumental decision to make -a decision that has global implications.

If you are a follower of Neale Donald Walsch known for his marvellous ‘Conversations with God’ series of books, you will want to hear what he has to say about the two candidates for President of the USA.

Have a listen to find out why…http://mail.finerminds.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=29&c=143857

I urge you to listen to this interview and pass it on to friends - it is vital for the future of the world that the best man wins this election!

Some Scorpios prefer to fight their battles through the written word, rather than physically - believing that the pen is mightier than the sword. And when Scorpio puts fingers to keyboard (the modern equivalent) those words can really pack a punch. It has been described as a black belt in verbal karate - just remember that the moment you go for revenge, you’ve lost the battle.

The major theme for you through 2008/09 is that of Saturn moving through your Solar Eleventh house of your social life, making you question whether your friends support you or not. Over this next year you may meet a whole new group of people who fulfill your new ideas about yourself in a more meaningful and realistic way. Certainly they will make you examine your ideals and objectives for your future, and ensure that you come to a mature decision about which direction you want your life to follow and who you want to accompany you along the way.

The other major and more long term theme is that of Pluto your co-ruler moving into Capricorn and bringing a strong urge to communicate more effectively, perhaps even teach and certainly write - however as it’s a 17 year journey, you’ve got plenty of time!

NB - The readings below can either be read from your Sun Sign - i.e. your birthday - or your Ascendant sign, which is calculated form your time of birth. Try also reading it from your Moon Sign, as Hindu astrologers suggest. 

Please note that this year is a Leap year, which means that a day has been added to the calendar. So, you may notice that the beginning and end dates in some cases are a day earlier than usual. The Full Moon in Libra that traditionally heralds Easter, always presents relationship matters in your face, whatever your sign happens to be.

Aries : 21st March - 20th April - The New Moon on 28th October influences your sign for the following month, in your Solar Eighth House. This is the area associated with joint finances and shared resources, like rent, mortgages, etc. As Mars, your feisty ruling planet is also there, you will have to watch for a tendency to engage in battle with your partner. You could step back and attempt to negotiate, but I don’t think anyone will be fooled - if you need to shout, find somewhere out in the open and do it there, or in your car. This could be a good month for you to go into some kind of personal growth program or therapy - you can guarantee that you will emerge with something valuable at the end of the process. And you will have a better handle on your emotional expression, which gives your significant other a bit of a break!

I asked my good friend, Jo Spaczynska, an EFT Practitioner, to write about this most amazing healing technique - here is what she has to say and I’d highly recommend you have a session with her. Doesn’t matter that you can’t visit her in Edinburgh, EFT works over the phone!!

************************************************************************************************************

Heard about EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) but not really sure what it is all about and what it involves?   It is all about energy and vibrations.  Everything, animate or inanimate, vibrates at different frequencies which can be measured either in cycles per second (CPS) or Hertz (Hz).

Emotions are also energy and they can affect physiology dramatically.  If you are embarrassed you may feel a rush of heat to your neck and face and often you blush.  Think of a person who is depressed, generally their head is forward, their shoulders are forward and it almost looks as if they are carrying the world on their shoulders - which in a way they are!  Now think of a person who is happy, vibrant, and dynamic - wow, the difference.  They appear to be very light on their feet, head held high, good posture and are open and relaxed.

Emotions are great, however they can get “stuck” and we then have difficulties which affect us in lots of different ways, physical or emotional pain, which can hold us back.  We are then not able to be in the flow!

What happens during a session?   A simple way to describe EFT is ‘acupuncture without needles’.  We tap on different parts of the head, face and body that relate to various acupuncture points while repeating pertinent words or phrases connected to the difficulty we are experiencing.  This allows the body to begin to release the ‘stuck’ emotions and be in the flow!  It can also help eliminate aches and pains.  It is so simple to learn that during the first session you will learn how to use it for yourself and, if you want, be able to use it between sessions.

Mercury Changes Direction on Wednesday 15th October

What can we predict from this activity? After all, Mercury does his merry little dance every four months or so and causes upsets at both ends of his three week period of backwards motion. 

Mercury is the ruler of the marketplace, business deals and communications. In mythology, he was also the Trickster, and at no other time is this element of his behaviour more evident than during his direction changes.

Let’s get real here - this behaviour has been observed for thousands of years by all the cultures on Earth and remarked on, noted and duly followed. This is what mythology is - a treatise on the behaviour of the planets and their effects on human life. It is only in the last few hundred years or so that society has poo-pooed this phenomenon, to its cost, I would suggest.

I’m writing to let you know about a recently released documentary about EFT that I think you’re going to be interested in. If you’ve experienced EFT for yourself, you know that it works dramatically. 

Those of us who have used it for years know its power to change our lives and the lives of those we care about in some many profound ways. But the question has always been: How do we get this incredible technique into the mainstream? 

I think we now have one of the answers to that. “Try It On Everything” is a moving documentary DVD, that follows 10 people as they use EFT for four days on a variety of issues. I won’t give away the results, but can assure you that you are going to be impressed.

Money and the Law of Attraction

by Jerry and Esther Hicks  

If you are having problems with your attitudes towards yourself and your ability to prosper, then this work by Abraham (through Esther) gives plenty of good advice on how to work through those problems and change your attitudes, which will then impact on your prosperity.

Prosperity is not necessarily about money, although many people translate it as meaning that. Abraham suggests that Well-Being is prosperity and it is our natural and divinely given right. Life can always get better, he suggests, as long as we pay attention to our thoughts and ideas about ourselves.

The Biology of Belief

 (Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles ) 

by Bruce Lipton PhD

It is rare these days to read a book that offers clarity and understanding of any technology without completely mystifying and thus losing, huge swathes of its readers. Lipton’s amazing text holds us to the very end on a subject that could have us yawning over our teacups. 

This book is technical, make no mistake, but a delight to read. How wonderful to explore the life of the simple cell - in reality, the absolutely complex and magical, simple cell - in language that neither alienates nor patronises.

What a joy it is to follow the easy steps laid down by Dr Lipton, who has taught the subject to students in top medical universities in the United States, like Stanford, for example. This is biology at its best and most exciting. 

In the mid-eighties, Lipton was going through a messy and expensive divorce and fetched up teaching in a medical college in the Caribbean, so far off the radar of mainstream thinking, that it offered the open-minded Lipton the opportunity to begin his own off-stream explorations of cells and their behaviour.

Much of his insight, however, came from observing the behaviour of his students, who were largely underachievers from the US mainland, with negative self-belief - suggested by the subtitle of the book - Lipton, and this is the exciting part for all LoA followers, made a promise to his students that he would deliver them a training that would equal anything on the mainland. And they believed him, and he did and guess what? They all passed their exams with marks previously unheard of in the school’s history.
