Saturn (the planet of restriction) and Pluto, known as the God of the Underworld, and the harbinger of change and transformation, are square, and opposing the Venus (square-90 degrees/represents obstacles, an opposition/180 degrees represents change and opposition from other parties) in America’s chart at 3 degrees of Cancer. Venus, rules beauty and the female sex, along with money and values.

Saturn entered Libra, the natural ruler of the seventh house of the zodiac, associated with marriage and partnerships on October 30, and with the exception of a brief, 4 month return to Virgo in April, 2010, it will remain there until October of 2012. Libra is ruled by Venus, and Saturn’s transit through Libra will bring restrictions to all things of a Venusian nature. This includes the female sex, marriage, relationships, money, art, and beauty, which would include cosmetic surgery.

Are American Women Being Screwed?
As the US Congress continues debate over changes in health care, a study was released within the past month recommending fewer mammograms and pap smears as well as beginning these types of cancer screenings at a later age. Not everyone agrees with these findings, including many in the medical community. The recommendations represent a major shift in screening for breast cancer, and The American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Commission have all published statements on their web sites disagreeing with the new guidelines, and recommending that physicians and insurance companies continue to provide biennial mammograms for women between 40 and 49 and annual mammograms thereafter.

Furthermore, a 10 % tax is being discussed that would be placed on all plastic surgery deemed not necessary for medical reasons.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 86 per cent of all plastic surgery is preformed on women, of which 60 % earn a household income of between $30-90,000. Most women and working women agree that there is societal pressure to maintain a youthful and attractive appearance, and few would disagree that age discrimination in the job place exists, particularly toward women.

The question that should be asked is, ‘Are women actually the target of cuts and taxes in proposed Health Care Reform?’

Astrologically, the answer is Yes, unless radical changes occur, and women step up to the plate and prevent the powers that be from targeting these and other medical procedures.

This observation is based on the fact that Saturn is currently squaring Venus (at 3 degrees of Cancer) in America’s chart, and will continue to do so through early winter of 2010. Pluto, the planet of transformation and change is opposing the Venus in America’s chart throughout much of 2010, and will become exact on December 23, 2009-January 20, 2010, and again later in the year. These two planets represent a restrictive, force/clash that will effect women in America in a potentially adverse way.

The same transiting planets also tell us what the state of the economy will be in 2010 and that will be the subject of future newsletters.

In addition to the Saturn/Pluto/Venus energy that is occurring, Jupiter and Neptune will hook up in the form of a conjunction becoming exact on December 21. This represents infectious diseases, but it also represents illusion, confusion and lies and deception around the medical and drug industries. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius may represent something that appears to be of interest in a way that would relate to a type of ‘world-view’ but the combination does not necessarily lend itself to the truth. What appears to be positive, will likely indeed turn out to be untrue.

Next year, Neptune, the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, will conjunct America’s Moon (representing women) and I call this transit, ‘asleep at the wheel.’  If there was ever a time for women to take a proactive approach to their healthcare, the time is now.

Have you ever wondered why you are drawn to specific historical era? Do you feel a close bond to a specific historical figure? Do you want to know why you prefer certain cultures over others? Why you like exotic tastes and textures? Have you ever gone somewhere and had an eerie feeling you have been there before? Have you ever met someone and felt like you have known them before?

Do you want to know why you are afraid of fire? Do you want to know why your back always hurts even though you know you have done nothing to injure it? Have you been healthy all your life, then suddenly at age 30 you develop a strange hoarseness that no doctor can diagnose? Are you in a relationship with someone who seems to hurt you time and again but you stay for some unknown reason? Do you find yourself daydreaming about what it would have been like to be Cleopatra? Joan of Arc? Well, maybe there is more to it than meets the eye.

A past life reading can help you examine these phenomena. During a past life reading a psychic will be able to help you unlock these mysteries. There are many ways to do a past life reading. Some psychics are able to perform a clairvoyant past life reading. When a psychic uses clairvoyance to do a past life reading they are able to see and feel specific events tied to your past life. The psychic may be able to see you prior lives in a vision, much like a video or television show. Or a past life or lives may come to the psychic like a memory or thought.

A past life reading can also be done through a tarot reading. The tarot reader will be able to ask the cards specific questions concerning your most recent past life or any other past life you may have had. As the tarot reader interprets the cards they will be able to see how any past life you have had could possibly be affecting or influencing this one. A past life reading can also be done through a clairaudient psychic reading. During this type of past life reading the psychic will be able to hear, probably from your own guides the past life experiences you have had.

During a past life reading your psychic will be shown if the current blockages and obstacles that surround you are related to a past life. They will be able to see if you are at that same point, the same physical age now that you were in a past life or lives where this same blockage occurred. For a simple example, let’s say Rita contacted a psychic for a past life reading because at age 30 she developed fear of heights. In this lifetime there is no reason for this to happen because Rita had no prior fear of heights. During the past life reading the psychic uncovered that in a past life Rita was a soldier in Jerusalem who was thrown from a 100 foot tower at age 30. Sometimes knowing what that connection to the past life is, that creates the fear or blockage in the present, is enough to be able to move past it.

During a past life reading, the psychic will be able to not only connect with your past life or lives but also to the people who shared each past life with you. They will be able to see the relationships that existed then compared to the ones that exist today. For example, your current boyfriend could have been a boyfriend in a past life, but he could have also been your father, mother or sister. If someone was a spiritual teacher to you in a past life it is likely that you are the teacher in the present. As we incarnate time and again, or revisit the earth so that our soul can grow and evolve, we will come into contact with familiar beings with whom we have incarnated with before.

We do tend to incarnate with the same souls over and over in each lifetime. We do this to learn valuable life lessons from each other. A past life reading will be able to reveal those life lessons that carried forward from a past life.

Most past life readings seem to center around soulmate relationship issues. A soulmate has been described as someone you feel drawn to, deeply connected to, a part of, a perfect match for, in a deeper way then physically or superficially. A soulmate is often described as the other half of your soul. Some people believe that soulmates must pay off a karmic debt to be together, and the connection between them can pass through several lifetimes. A past life reading will allow you to see if you current relationship is a soulmate relationship. Since soulmate relationships can at times be difficult, a past life psychic reading will help you to address any issues from the past life that could possible be hindering a successful happy relationship in this lifetime. A past life reading will also be able to identify what karmic debts you each have with one another. During the reading, your psychic will be able to give guidance on how to move past the past life karma once and for all.

The psychic performing the past life reading does not decide what comes out in your reading, and cannot change or alter what they see.  For the most part psychics would love to only give good news during a past life reading or give everyone the answers that they so desperately want to hear. That is simply not during their past life psychic reading. You may be in a situation where everything seems hopeless. Your relationship, career or finances may be in shambles, but a past life psychic reading can help. Your past life psychic reading may offer you hope that things will be changing for the better, and can offer you the tools to make your situation better and can help you avoid problems that you didn’t even see coming, or help to rectify and problems that currently exist in all areas of your life.

So your guy has broken up with you and now you are a mess and trying to find someone, anyone, to do a spell to make it better; to fix it; to just put the two of you back together. So you peruse the internet looking for lotions and potions delved out by well-meaning, and some not so well meaning witches and wiccans whose websites blast out promises of reuniting you with your lost love.

Guaranteed to reunite lovers within 3-days! 100% Guaranteed!

How the HELL are they going to do that? First of all, as far as LOVE SPELLS go, pretty much need some hair or fingernails of the guy who dumped you, and since he dumped you, you probably don’t have any of that lying around in a jar by the bed… then again, maybe you do. They may ask you to send photos of the two of you so they can bind you together, yeah ok whatever but nothing would be as powerful as HAIR or FINGERNAILS for a LOVE SPELL. It is the essence of that person.

The real point here though is that is it wrong to use magic to manipulate someone if it is against their will. If Billy broke up with you because he really wants to work things out with his wife, and you try to use a love spell to bring him back to you, you are trying to manipulate the energy of the situation. Not only are you wasting your time, and your money if you paid someone to do this for you, but you are creating some bad karma because you will reap some bad mojo for that action and so will the person who did the love spell for you…IF in fact they did it and not just make off with your $$$. There is a law in magick: Harm none! When we try to deliberately coerce someone, through loves spells, ceaseless meditations, candle burnings or energy work, you need to be very sure that you are wiling to accept the responsibility for your actions, and so does your spell caster. If the only way you can get him is by spells and potions, is he really worth having? Probably not. Unless you really want him to be with you forever.

We Can Make Him Fall in Love with You and Bind Him to YOU Forever!

Is that really what you want? What if after a year, more or less, you decide you just don’t want him anymore? What if you hate the way he scratches himself, learn that he is really a slob, has no ambition, and uses your hair pins to clean out his ear wax. You hate the way he chews, belches and farts and now he is bound to you forever! WTF are you going to do now? Get another spell to remove him? Get rid of him? Bind someone else to you? It does not work that way. There is an old saying “Be careful what you WISH for” well guess what, you better damned well be careful what you do a LOVE SPELL for because if these Internet Witches with their “100% guarantees of making him love you forever” are as good as they advertise, forever is a helluva long time. Then again, since you disobeyed the laws of karma, and magick for that matter, by performing this love spell on him, this is pretty much what you deserve.

Once again, if you seek to coerce the one you love through love spells and magick, you are only setting yourself up for a world of hurt later on. It screws with your karma and will send it back to you TIMES 3. And not only to you, but to the idiot that performed the spell for you. Casting spells is never something to be taken lightly. It should not be done for personal gain. So not only will you get the big Universal kick in the ass but so will the one who did the spell for you…and shame on THEM for meddling in the natural flow of the Universe.
