July Horoscope - Happy Birthday Cancer the Crab!

Happy July all! 

- It's Fourth of July, and yesssss... I STILL love fireworks! I am still a big kid about it, and I write this same line every year, lol - so I will spare you my obnoxious and childish behavior! But I will also add that since September 11, I truly am more aware and appreciative of what our country represents, and very grateful for the people who protect it to this very day. Independence day is more meaningful to me. And of course, I will be celebrating the Fourth of July with family and friends in the evening, but I will be accepting calls during the earlier part of the day.

- If you would like to meet me, I will be doing live entertainment again this year at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, at the "So Sayeth the SootherSayer" booth, as an Astrologer and Card Reader, as well as an Advisor to the Kings! This engagement will keep me busy for a few weekends. AND unavailable for any Saturday readings from August 23 until September 28. When the festival is over in October, I will become available once again on Saturdays.

- My hours have been extended, as I am organizing my home life and professional life better (Thanks to Saturn in Virgo) - and you can now reach me Monday through Saturday from 11am until 7pm, on eastern standard time. As other mothers out there will understand, there is an additional pressure of being a working mom and trying to take care of yourself, and your family too. I am re-adjusting my life, as I am weaning myself away from the domestic life, and getting a little more time for me, as my adorable Leo son is growing up into a fine, young man - who is busy with driving, working, his girlfriend, and making his life into life. He also has a birthday at the end of this month, and sending many blessings his way! Happy birthday Love! (We have a loving Cancer Sun and a sensitive Cancer moon right now, so excuse me while I get a little mushy over my boy, lol.)

Words to Consider from Cancer the Crab, and other sensitive souls..

"It isn't that 'I don't know'.... it's just that you wouldn't understand if I told you."

"My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person. " Mike Tyson

“I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much?”

“There is a special bond between twin soul mates--unconditional love, respect for each other, bringing out the best in each other, and highly compatible.”

“God, When I was alone, and had nothing, I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain. No one came, except God. When I needed a breath to rise, from my sleep, No one could help me.. except God. When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers, No one heard me, except God. So when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love to? I look for no other name, except God.” ~Tupac Shakur

We start this month of July with the Sun in tender Cancer, and New Moon in Cancer on July 2. This is very active energy, and especially for getting things taken care of, and chasing the success that we are looking for, be it personal or professional. Mars moves into serious Virgo on the July 1, and he will tame any excess energy, to create smart behavior, to help us pre-plan and organize our next move toward goals. This require slow, but steady effort. In regards to our relationships, you will find that this double Cancer will energize many sensitivities and vulnerabilities at this time, where words should be carefully chosen, especially when Mercury squares independent Uranus on July 5, and have certain individuals feeling challenged by certain individuals or circumstances. (Remember, Uranus went retrograde last month, and behavior can be quite quirky at this time). Never fear though, as we will have a chance to 'kiss and make-up' on July 6 as Mercury trines dreamy Neptune. On July 10, Mercury moves into protective Cancer, while Mercury opposes transforming Pluto. This can affect certain individuals on either a personal or professional level, to feel an aura of challenges and competition with those surrounding. Be sure to temper any entitled tantrums during this time, and use clear communication to get our point across - otherwise, someone will be jumping to conclusions, and possibly giving someone a reason to withdrawal (This someone could also be you). On July 12, Venus dances her way into dramatic Leo, and we will REALLY want to splurge and do a little more for ourselves. Just watch the cash flow during this time as we'll want to look for ways to make ourselves FEEL good with nice things, rather than resolving issues on a deeper inner level. Thanks to the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 18, you'll be able to distinguish a good buy from the 'not so good' buy. (Like choosing a new appliance versus expensive jewelry.) Mercury opposes Jupiter the very next day, we may not care about being practical, and just doing whatever our little heart desires. On July 22, our Sun moves into happy Leo, and we will be ready to party and 'get back out there' again. Especially as Mercury trines Uranus, giving us a lot more optimism and hope, to figure out a way to heal the world! Make some special wishes during this time, and then write your plan of action down during July 26, and Mercury slides into 'make it happen' Leo, and providing us with the confidence and courage to overcome any obstacle in our way, while Mars trines magical Jupiter later in the day, creating heroic attitudes to tackle any problem that we may be experiencing, and finding a solution that works for everyone involved.

Tarot Insight...
This month's tarot message shares 'what we all need to know' about this month, and insight comes from the Queen of Swords, as we should again use clear (but gentle) words during this highly emotional month - as to leave no room for any miscommunications or misunderstandings. Some of the planets will have some us reacting too quickly, and possibly reaching for space and distance. Use your creativity to spark new ideas and plant seeds for growth, for both in your personal life, and in your professional life.

Happy Birthday Cancer...
Born June 21 - July 22.... Cancer is the sign of the Crab. The Crab is sensitive, protective, and seeks security. Cancer is a feminine water sign as well as cardinal. A Cancer is a very strong person who will make their move in life based on their emotions. Click HERE for more personally-written zodiac details about the gentle and loving Cancer.

July is ruled by the Moon, which represents Mother, memories, refection, nurturing, etc. I thought this was something nice to share.

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you." The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years. The demands of my work and my two children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded.  "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."


That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.  When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on.  She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.  "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.  "They can't wait to hear about our meeting." 

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.  My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu.  Her eyes could only read large print.  Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.  A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.


"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice.  Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack.  It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance.  I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife.  You will never know what that night meant for me.  I love you, son."
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family.  Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".



Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history.



Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct... somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring..  somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.



Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good"... somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.



Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices.. somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.



Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother... somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.

Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first... somebody doesn't have two children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books... somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery... somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back... somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home.. somebody never had grandchildren.



Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her... somebody isn't a mother.



This isn't just about being a mother, it's about appreciating the people in your life while you have them....no matter who they are.

Enjoy your summer.

June Horoscope - Happy Birthday Gemini Twins!

June 2008, Happy Summer Everyone...
I love June. It always brings fond memories of me and my son going out into the field at dusk, carrying an empty jar and lid with holes poked through, for catching oodles of lightning bugs! I love the warmth of the sun at this time, picnics with family and friends, barbecues, fires with marshmallows and hot dogs, and lawn chairs with blankets as we lie underneath the stars watching meteor shows. The summer solstice on the 20th is always a reminder that the hot weather is just about to become hotter, and the pool will be warmer for night swimming. I enjoy Father's day, as I help my Leo son plan surprises and special memories for his dad. My Libra husband (with his loving Pisces Moon) is an awesome father who shares good parenting skills of open communication, gentle truth, love and security. Since kids don't always 'listen', we know that they will usually 'mimic' what they see in their environment - so we believe that by 'practicing what we preach' will help our son to continue to benefit, and learn more from us. Happy Fathers Day to my readers, and Happy Fathers Day to my sweetie...

Words to Consider....
"Children learn to smile from their parents." ~Shinichi Suzuki

"It is a wise father that knows his own child." ~William Shakespeare

"Good parents give their children Roots and Wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what's been taught them." ~Jonas Salk

“It is not until you become a parent that judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.” ~Erma Bombeck

Astrological Happenings...
©2007-2008 Starcana.com
We all start this busy month with the Sun in Gemini, and New Moon in Gemini on June 3, and the main focus this month is on open communication - with friendships, family, work, and relationships. Wonderful opportunities can be available to express thoughts and emotions right now while Venus smoothes out rough spots on the 6th, and Mercury encourages confidence in yourself on the 7th. Mercury is still retrograde until June 19, so if you aren't completely honest with others or yourself - you could experience a few misunderstandings that could lead to heavier problems on or around the Full Moon, which is in Sagittarius on June 18. Sharp honesty can most likely lead to hurtful words and full blown reactions at this time... especially while Venus, the planet of love opposes Pluto, and enters sensitive Cancer. Use tact, kindness and soft words in your expressions at this time - otherwise sharp words can look like sharp knives and leave others to defending themselves, or hiding from you. Kindness DOES matter at this time. We also have Pluto moving into Sagittarius on the 14th, and you may find yourself becoming more comfortable within yourself, focusing more on your own thoughts, your own plans, and your own independence. Use this time to ground, and focus on healing. The Sun enters Cancer on June 20, and then Mars opposes Neptune on the 21st... and you could experience some harsh reality to a confusing situation around this time. Utilize Mercury Direct on June 19, and communicate with yourself about REALLY what is going on FIRST, as illusions can have some overreacting, without facing some realistic facts first... and this may promote a "time out" for some partnerships around the the last week of June, when Uranus goes retrograde, and the Sun squares the Moon on June 26. The energy can feel crazy at this time, but as along as you take the time to think - before you speak - that will conquer half of the problem.

Tarot Insight...
This month's tarot message shares 'what we all need to know' about this month, and insight comes from the Page of Swords, who arrives reversed and repeats after me... miscommunications, misunderstandings, and miscalculations. Without conquering good communication skills at this time, you can expect to experience continued worries and anxieties. The only way to get any peace, or to fix a problem during this time, is to gently confront it.

Happy Birthday Gemini...
Gemini is a masculine and mutable sign, and this makes them very adaptable and intellectual.They despise stagnation of any kind and thrive for circulation and movement (like their element Air). Mercury is the planet of communication, and it rules this sign. Freedom and space is a must. They are lively, witty, trendy, and let us not forget... charming!!

Starcana Resource...

Many ask me what is my favorite Tarot Book reference, and I have one favorite that I keep in my special collection of books, and it is 'Tarot Plain and Simple' by Anthony Louis. Tony works with the Robin Wood tarot cards that I have featured on my website, and he explains the description of the cards, but also the astrological and numerical relation of each card too, which helps to deepen your personal learning of the cards. Always be sure to jot notes of your own feelings when you read the cards. Click the image of his book below to read more about what this great book has to offer, and how to purchase it: 

It's Just a Joke...
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.' Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.' Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.' So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says 'HEBREWS'.

Enjoy your Summer!

May Horoscope - Happy Birthday Taurus the Bull!

Starcana's Planetary May Horoscope
Written by Starcana ©2007-2008 Starcana.com

May 2008... Venus softens her steps into May, as she distances herself from April's pushy Mars - and partners up with friendly Mercury to promote movement and change. Saturn turns direct on May 2, and you will notice some benefits while you take the time to release and let go of any control. Optimistic Jupiter then retrogrades on the 9th - and you may begin to feel challenged about recent decisions that you have made. Don't take time to hesitate, or waste time with too much worrying or over-thinking, as this is a wonderful time to find out what you are actually capable of when it comes to hard work and determination - whether this be in business or personal development. Mars storms his way into confidant Leo, and this may be just what the doctor ordered to help  boost your energy and plan of action! Be sure to use some common sense before you rush forward too fast, or you may find that a change of plans may be necessary, because of an impatient jump. Be prepared to get a little dizzy towards the end of the month when talkative Mercury and dreamy Neptune turn retrograde, and possibly have you REALLY doubting some of your recent decisions and moves. Just slow your pace and control your passionate drive. Don't over analyze, or you will frustrate yourself with doubt and let your fears stop you in your track. Your goals can actually be pursued with some smart preparation... then you can feel certain that you can busta-move!

My Personal Two Sense
I've had a number people who have called or emailed me for advice, suggestions and tips on how to start their own psychic business. The very first thing that is most important for any individual who desires to work their own business is to research, research, and more research. I've spent many years working with computer programs, learning basic web design, design programs, taking extra classes, purchasing books and experimenting with search engine optimization, trial and error with marketing and internet advertising, and then educating myself on whatever I wanted (or needed) to learn.... by simply research, research, and MORE research. Get some basic business books to learn how to have a general business first. Write yourself a business plan. It's a business - just like any other business. Know your taxes, know your laws, and know your business ethics, so that you can last in the competitive marketplace.

If all that seems like too much work, you are most likely not ready to work your own business - as it is steady work that you must invest time, money, and energy in - on a daily basis.

If you want something simple to test just the waters - here is a WONDERFUL book that was written by one of my REALLY cool Libra friends, Christine Jette called "Professional Tarot". She goes into all sorts of areas to help you work through some of the bumps and humps when getting started in a reading business. I HIGHLY recommend it to those who want to get started in this field of work. You can click the book's image below, for more information for this educational 'must'!

Father Of Many
This is for those of you who LOVE my quirky jokes!
(And for the rest - it's just a joke.)

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards. The man, who was a priest, said. I am a Father." The little boy replied. "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that." The priest looked up from his book and answered. "I am the Father of many." The boy said."My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way! The priest, getting impatient, said. "I am the Father of hundreds" and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,
"Maybe you should wear a condom and put your pants on backwards instead of your collar."

World Malaria Day April 25

I've seen this commercial on TV on a few times, and truly agree with the comment made by Ted Turner... as we really do have much prosperity here in this country, while others suffer from poverty, disease, and death elsewhere. I checked out the advertised television commercial and url, about how Malaria can be prevented by limiting the mosquitoes from delivering  it with something as simple as a mosquito net. I collected some of the info about the program's goal, and hope that we can all make a difference.

Peace, Starcana

www.starcana.com

Malaria Kills... Malaria is a disease caused by the blood parasite Plasmodium, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Infected humans experience flu-like symptoms that can result in coma and death. Malaria, from the Medieval Italian words mala aria or “bad air,” infects more than 500 million people a year and kills more than a million— one person dies about every 30 seconds. The disease is particularly devastating in Africa, where it is a leading killer of children. In addition to being home to the deadliest strain of malaria and the mosquito best equipped to transmit the disease, many areas in Africa lack the proper infrastructure and resources to fight back.

Bed Nets... Despite the magnitude of the problem, there is a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent malaria deaths. For just $10, we can purchase a bed net, deliver it to a family, and explain its use. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur. A family of four can sleep under an insecticide-treated bed net, safe from malaria, for up to four years. The benefits of bed nets extend even further than the family. When enough nets are used, the insecticide used to deter mosquitoes makes entire communities safer—including even those individuals who do not have nets.

Although $10 for a bed net may not sound like much, the cost makes them out of reach for most people at risk of malaria, many of whom survive on less than $1 a day. Nets are a simple, life-saving solution, but we need your help to provide them to those in need.  Continue the story and goal on their site http://www.nothingbutnets.net

Pet Zodiac Signs

(For information about Animal Magick - click the image above.)

I have two great cats who think that they each are the King of the family. Bob Cat is a white siamese mix who is a handsome Pisces/Aries cusp, and now 15 years old. He is a classic zodiac mix of Pisces, with his HUGE baby blue eyes and his mellow temperament, but his warrior spirit of Aries is also quite available with his incredibly large body who walks the fields with a confident nature. He is a bold and protective cat, and he's also very territorial. He is fearless and chases the neighbor dogs off of our (or should I say HIS) property!!

Then there is Salem, who is a gorgeous, long-haired cat who is black as night, and now 6 years old. He too, is classic of his zodiac sign Gemini, as the charming Mr. Friendly, and always sweet-talking those he meets. He is definitely a lover and not a fighter.

And my loyal pup Charley, a golden lab retriever mix. My playful Sagittarius friend adores the outdoors just like me, so we'll spend alot of time in the yard when we can. He always has a goofy grin on his face and always ready to play! And that boy is filled with nonstop energy! WOW!

I got a few cute email jokes about the pros ad cons of dogs and cats and thought I would share them with you, by clicking the links below.

What is the difference between a dog and a cat?
A dog lives in your house and sees that you give it food and water and says to itself, "Wow, these beings give me food and water without my having to do anything. They must be gods!"



A cat lives in your house and sees that you give it food and water and says to itself, "Wow, these beings give me food and water without my having to do anything. I must be a god!"

Oh Lordy Lordy.....

Cat Personalities - Does Your Cat Own You?

(Click the image above for more details about the special powers of animals!)

DOES YOUR CAT OWN YOU??

(This was a funny emailed joke that I got a kick out - being an owner of two happy go lucky cats! Cat owners will appreciate and relate to this one!)

Do you select your friends based on how well your cats like them?
Does your desire to collect cats intensify during times of stress?
Do you buy more than 50 pounds of cat litter a month?
Do you scoop out the litter box after each use? 

Do you wait at the box with the scoop in your hand?
Do you think it's cute when your cat swings on the drapes or licks the butter?
Do you admit to non-cat owners how many cats you really have?
Do you sleep in the same position all night because it annoys your cats when you move?
Do you kiss your cat on the lips?
Do you feed your cat tidbits from the table with your fork?
Does your cat sit at the table (or ON the table) when you eat?
Does your cat sleep on your head? Do you like it?
Do you have more than four opened but rejected cans of cat food in the refrigerator?
Do you watch bad TV because the cat is sleeping on the remote?
Did you buy a video tape of fish swimming in an aquarium to entertain your cat?
Will you stand at the open door indefinitely in the freezing rain while your cat sniffs the door, deciding whether to go out or come in?
Would you rather spend a night at home with your cat than go out on a bad date?
Do you give your cat presents and a stocking at Christmas? Do you spend more for your cat than you do for your spouse?
Do the Christmas cards you send out feature your cat sitting on Santa's lap? Does your cat sign the card?
Do you put off making the bed until the cat gets up?
Does your cat eat out of cut crystal stemware because you both watched the same commercial on television?
Do you microwave your cat's food? Prepare it from scratch?
Do you climb out of bed over the headboard or footboard, so you won't disturb the sleeping cat?
At the store, do you pick up the cat food and kitty litter before  you pick out anything for yourself?
Do you cook a special turkey for your cat on holidays?
Does your cat "insist" on a fancy Sunday breakfast consisting of an omelet made from eggs, milk, and salmon, halibut, or trout?
Do you have pictures of your cat in your wallet? Do you bring them out when your friends share pictures of their children? (Pollsters claim that 40 percent of cat owners carry their pet's pictures in their wallets, by the way.)
When people call to talk to you on the phone, do you insist that they say a few words to your cat as well?
Do you accept dates only with those who have a cat? If so, do you eventually double-date with the cats to see how they get along?
When someone new comes to your house, do you introduce your cat, by name, to them?

Cats are definitely cool, calm, and collected. 

I've got a Leo the Lion moon and know first hand.  :-)

Tax 'em...... It'll Teach'em A Lesson

This was something that I found and thought was fun and interesting - especially because it's Tax time... then you see the sad truth come alive.  

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
upon his tomb,
" Taxes drove me to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Accounts Receivable Tax

Celebrity Psychic - The Devil Card

I was spending some time organizing and printing some of my classic emails... and I definitely got a kick out of this one and figured that it may be time to share it with some of you. Of course, I HAD to save this particular message (and you'll see why) - as this was actually a REAL and AUTHENTIC person!!! as I was contacted by the director of a television show!! (But for possible privacy issues - I have blocked their last name and contact information.)

Dear Starcana,

My name is Jay XXXX and I am a casting director for Fox's family reality show, "Trading Spouses". We are now casting season four and we are searching for a Psychic Family for our next production. Your website caught my eye and I wanted to extend an invitation for your family to audition. We are looking for diverse, interesting people and I hope you will consider.

If you are not familiar with the show, it is sort of like a foreign exchange program for Moms. Families who are chosen have a one week commitment during principle shooting, and each family receives $50,000. Parents must be married, and have at least one child (age 6 ) living in the home.

If you don't wish to audition, but know someone else who can, please send them our way. If you refer a family that makes it on the show, you get a $1000 finder's fee.

You can check out our company's credentials at the following link:

Please call or email me for more information. I'd love to tell you more. If you email or voicemail, please include your contact number. Thank you and I hope to talk to you soon!

Sincerely,

Jay XXXX, casting director

Now come on..... HOW COOL IS THAT! A keeper, right? I could've been a celebrity psychic! A star amongst other stars! lol. My 15 minutes of fame. A Leo Moon's dream. "To be, or Not to be".

Did I actually take the time and energy to make an audition? Hell no. Oh yeah, a $50,000.00 check would come in MIGHTY handy. But to put my husband and my son in the critiquing eye of the public was a HUGE decision to go over. There is just way too much ridicule and exaggerated drama on those reality shows to put my family (or myself through). If the price was much, MUCH higher... who knows what I could have decided on. I would need to be tempted and seduced a little more than a few gold coins. On my end, there is much more to be bargained with than one realizes - and you truly need to be careful as to what you wish for. 

Now do you need a good example of the Tarot card - The Devil? It offers and seduces you with temptation, desires, sex, money, fame, financial wealth, etc. Is it really riches of the world? Probably for some, sure. This is a classic explanation of the Devil's card in the tarot, presenting you with situations and people in your life that offers you a false sense of happiness. The Devil asks,  "What are you willing to sell your soul for? What will you trade for power, for money?" Am I willing to embarrass myself on national television? Would I risk doing that to my family for temporary happiness? ($50,000.00 ain't really that much now).
(Then you KNOW that the TV network would add the spooky "twilight zone" music when I would enter the screen. dooo do do doo, doo doo do do.....)

I've seen plenty with all that I have done in my life, and all the various places that I have lived in.... to see how temptation seeps into people's lives. The illusion that money, financial wealth, big business stature, wealth, fame, power brings happiness...... is not the "riches of the world" in my eyes. I have seen too many families divided, business partnerships destroyed, and friendships terminated - because of it. I've walked away from many things in my life that intrigued others - because I can not comprehend or understand it. I learned a long. long time ago about what is REALLY more important in life, and I will always do my best to make good decisions that do not threaten the happiness of me and my family.

Yes, now the real REALITY of it all........ everyone I know, laughed and said I was an idiot for passing up the 50,000.00. I would probably still do it again if it was presented to me. Truly, I'm looking for more than just the "illusion" of some temporary happiness. 

I've made many questionable decisions in my life, so I am far from being any kind of saint..... but it's still a good theory to think about, because once the money fades, the power fades, the fake friends fade, and the "happiness" eventually fades too. And after you have traded your good reputation, your good friends, your good soul, etc. on it all.... what have you got left to show for it?

I mean, SERIOUSLY.... there's a 50,000 dollar check with my name on it.... then there's a hefty percentage for my Uncle Sam's pocket. That isn't enough to purchase three brand new SUV's for me, the hubby, and my son - and still have enough left over to splurge on family and friends, and bank whatever is left over. I've got too much honor and pride, as well as a reputation to protect! I'm not an idiot, but more of a negotiator. If I'm gonna take a chance (or bargain on a few good souls) - I'm going to have to be propositioned with something a lot more sweeter than a few weeks worth of chump change!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed a creepy episode of my life.

Peace.

Living in 2008

Happy Happy Weekend! Moon relaxing in Libra.... plus we're finally experiencing the Sun's smooth cruise into Pisces this week, and Pisces rules the 12th sign of the zodiac, and the 12th house of the astrological wheel. Being the last zodiac sign and last astro house, also means it's last minute clean-ups in life.... as new journeys are just ahead. It is a time to close doors, and leave old attitudes and old emotions behind. Work through issues, pains, burdens, and Karma. Enjoy the next few weeks and enjoy the Neptune shift as you find yourself enjoying a quick swim through some last minute illusions, before surfing into the rough waves of reality. Splish Splash baby....

The following joke has nothing to do with Pisces (other than the fact that computers and Pisces go together like southern comfort on ice). But when I get something in my email that makes me laugh, I just share it.


YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when...


1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave. (and cell phone, haha)


2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. (same goes for poker)
 
 
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. (yes, I am a loser.)
 

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. (I'm guilty of this!)
 

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. (haha)
 

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. (or if I can get a glass of water)
 
 
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen (oh yea)
 

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. (it's just so unfair, huh?)
 

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. (Guilty.)
 

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )    (nooo, I actually say "LOL")
 
 
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 
 
 
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. (yea, to you)
 
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. (who cares.)
 
 
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. (yes, i'm a sucker too, haha)

Get to know me.

One Free Question in Garbage Disposal

On my astrology tarot website, you may have noticed that some time ago, I had created a special web page to share my mystical knowledge, by offering occasional free answers to your burning questions, and simply called it 'One Free Question" by email. It was always a fun treat to spend some free time and do a reading here and there, as I always enjoy the opportunity of reading, along with the excitement (yea, it doesn't take much to get me going, lol) of extra practice. It was a nice way to market my site, as well as to 'help' and do 'something good' for others, and to help educate fellow readers to learn how to interpret the given information. I usually tried to answer at least one question monthly, and if I had time, I'd add a few more.

As of December 2007, I made a decision to cancel my free reading service. The main reason, is growth, full bloom, and expansion. I've recently been propositioned a new direction for my artistic background, meaning that any free time that I would have, would now be energized into this new area of expansion. Yes, thats more good news for me, (yayyyy!) and the sweet proof of Pluto leaving Sagittarius and parking his trailer and dark energy in someone else's backyard (which can also be very good news for the saga of Britney Spears too) Yes, Britney Spears zodiac sign is Sagittarius too, but this may be another post.

But another reason that I decided to finally cancel the one free question, was the overwhelming amount of emails. (Did I mention the handfuls of knuckle-heads who would call my 800 number to talk - for the free question by EMAIL?) ::: shakes head :::

Then with an enormous amount of emailed requests - this meant that I had to take on extra work and extra time to siphon through all the emails that I WOULD answer... and the emails that I would ignore. Yes, I said it. Ignore. For an example, 85% of the questions (or maybe it was 1.75 out of 2) asked me :::drum-roll::: "Am I pregnant?" And although I included an easy link to read my terms of service that clearly states that I do not do health-related pregnancy questions.... not one of them actually read my terms (but each of them acknowledged that they did). ::: shakes head :::

Seriously girlfriends... if I am curious if I am pregnant or not - the last thing on my mind would be to call a psychic number. In reality, I know it's just a phone call and getting a reading is fun anyway... but you run a risk to your health and to your baby - by not getting the proper procedure and testing. Yes, I heard you say "Just chill - It's just for fun'. Yes, exactly, and that is why readings are considered entertainment only, because they are just for fun and entertainment only. An unwanted pregnancy is not fun, and should be handled physically, emotionally, and mentally by a professional. Plus pregnancy is not be the only reason for missing a period or two. There are many health-related issues to check into, and to rule out. I am not trained in helping you run into any of those challenging areas, and that is why I will always suggest that you contact your physician first for professional advice and consultation. As stated in my terms of service, pregnancy is a health-related question that I personally choose to ignore, as this 'fun' question can seriously affect the mommy-to-be, but also the potential life source within - and everyone else involved.

Thinking back - when I became pregnant with my son (which was a long time ago) yes, I KNEW at that moment I was pregnant, I knew it immediately, and can still tell you the date and time that it happened. BUT..... Even though I knew and felt it at that very moment... I would never just trust my feelings and intuition. Yes, it's nice to 'be in the know', but it's much wiser and safer to get a reliable pregnancy test. I didn't call for a psychic reading - but instead, I immediately ran out and bought myself the pee kit for ACCURACY and to release the wonder and worry of 'Am I or Not?', and scheduled a doctor appointment the next day when the stick gave me the good news. (of course I HAD to prove to my husband that I was right, cause my intuition didn't mean squat to him. The proof was that little plus sign saying it was positive!) But seriously, the LAST thing on my mind was to dial a psychic for an answer on my health. Mostly, because that is not how readings really work or what they are about. (Plus, with most psychic reading services charging 4.99 a minute - it was way cheaper to drive to the pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test box for ten bucks!)

Anyway....... I wanted to thank you all for your interest and participation of the free readings while it was available. In the meantime, you can still get one free psychic question answered in my free goodies web page here, for those of you that still have a burning question that requires a quick and easy: yes or no.

Peace.

Zodiac Signs, Love Signs, Seduction Tips

Happy Valentines Day My Friends!
Below I have included some general love tips from my website www.starcana.com to romance your special partner. Whatever their zodiac sign is, sweeten the deal with more than just the typical box of last years chocolates and valentine card.

The Moon is in Gemini on February 14, so use your romantic talents to warm their heart with goodies that would normally excite them... but challenge your creative juices to make it a RED-HOT memory this year! The Sun trines Mars 11:39am EST so take advantage of this deliciously receptive moment to serve romance and breakfast in bed! If that isnt possible, then start the day by sending them a "Love Text Message" of what's in store for them later!

Later on at 5:20pm, the Moon squares Saturn... and if you haven't tried hard enough to meet your partners high expectations of this day, there is a good chance that feelings could become hurt and resentful. It's definitely a dark cloud moment, so be sure to use tender loving words to really express what your intentions are.

Need more information or ideas? Schedule an appointment with me and let me explain your partners love planets and their Venus and Mars needs!
