There is speculation over what’s happening between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Is there a divorce or will they reconcile? What do their birth charts say? In astrology, there are all kinds of destiny timers. The planet Uranus is one of those destiny timers among a few others. I am going to be as delicate as possible because there are painful and hurt feelings in this break-up and divorce. It is hard sometimes to imagine that someone can turn off and suddenly be cold when they were once loving and affectionate. Maybe that’s what happened here. Ben Affleck is a Leo, and so is Jennifer Lopez. Two Leo natives easily fall into their male and female roles. They play mommy and daddy gracefully and romp with the kids, look majestic on the red carpet together, and each does their part to make things work. Both are proud and need the spotlight like the rest of us need air. That’s how it usually goes. The Lunar Nodes, which I call destiny timers, connected to Ben Affleck’s natal Uranus in his 4th house and perhaps made him sensitive to people coming and going in the house since he is a bit private and sensitive.

Uranus in Ben’s 4th house unplugs emotionally with great speed and suddenness. A person with Uranus in the emotional and clingy 4th house is the person who suddenly hangs up on you or, for no apparent reason, you never hear from them again. It brings anxiety and, in Libra, a certain amount of going back and forth trying to decide what to do, and then poof, he’s moved out without warning, unplugging his emotions and cold as ice. His chart shows a man who is a nester. He likes to nest with his mate or partner and considers home and family off-limits to the public. His 7th house, North Node in Capricorn, suggests he decides what the outside world gets to see, and he also demands a certain respect from his partner about his wishes and deference. After all, Capricorn is the boss. Not only did the South Node connect to Uranus, but the North Node (the Nodes transit in tandem) attached to his 10th house, Eris, the disrupter. He has no problem shaking things up.

Taylor Swift is certainly having a moment! With a tour that has gone mega-viral, put her on everyone's lips, and now romantically entwines with one of the most eligible bachelors in the NFL, Travis Kelce. He's no stranger to the camera after his Bachelor-esque dating show, Chasing Kelce, on E! in 2016. The concept? Fifty women, one from each state, would vie for his heart. No one made a touchdown with his heart then. The question is, then, can this all-American pop diva be the one who captures his heart?

For her, the planet transiting Venus and the asteroid Juno connect her to kindred souls and make marriage a possibility after eclipse season or football season! It’s Venus and Juno that give her a larger-than-life person as they connect to her Lunar South Node. That's a potent connection that has her making mega concessions to Travis Kelce and probably has her traveling on her private jet to most, if not all, his games. It's interesting because both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are stars in their own right with their Lunar Nodes, and Eris, the disrupter in star-struck Leo. They were both born to shake things up!

In astrology, we tend to lean towards the South Node when we're exhausted or don't feel confident to reach the North Node. It's what we're good at and what we know, and here we have two mega stars, two highly romantic types looking for a love story, and two people with tons of confidence looking for love. They both want the same things in life. They both need to shine. In private, they are two homebodies who set up a home, cook, and talk about what bothers them. Her Cancer Moon connects to his nurturing Ceres; they will nest when their mutual careers allow it. With the approval of both of their mothers, it’s a go. They face a challenge and a turning point during Super Bowl Season! Which tells me the Kansas City Chiefs have a shot at the Super Bowl. She's an outgoing Sagittarius, he's a charming Libra, and both play for keeps and give the other space! Quite possibly two soulmates tired of looking and dating who found each other. But like all South Node relationships, they have some karma to work out together before they find marital bliss. But the odds are in their favor! ©

The popularity of Threads caught Elon Musk off guard since so many new social media platforms have tried and failed to topple Twitter. Let’s look deeper into what’s happening with Cancer native Elon Musk. His 29°Gemini Rising connects to the North Star (Pole Star), and his descendent connects to the Galactic Center. He pulls information from the great wellspring of universal knowledge and ideas and can further the ideas of others and make them great!

He’s on a mission to create drama, push the limits, and create conflicts. He fights hard but has trouble reading the room as Neptune opposes the planet of permanent endings, his natal Pluto. This is stressful and affects his health. In the 3rd house of transportation, Pluto is well-aspected by Jupiter and brings immense good fortune and wealth through vehicles (Tesla, satellites, and spaceships). But does his chart have as much good fortune through space exploration, inhabiting Mars, and social media? Maybe not, as malefic Mars and the Malefic North Node can cause debts and bankruptcy through fixed, unfortunate, and impulsive endeavors. But he tempts fate and takes chances. In the future (2025), he would be well advised not to hop into his spacecraft and go to Mars. We might have another Oceangate situation on our hands!

The planet of limitations, Saturn, opposes his natal Moon (Financial losses) and squares his natal Saturn with Mercury, who likes to control the narrative. When Saturn squares its natal position, it’s time to review where you are. He may face more difficulties as Saturn makes its 2nd and 3rd pass aspecting his Moon and natal Saturn.

The news that Tucker Carlson has been released from Fox News after over a decade caught just about everyone off guard! But it is eclipse season which can always bring a wild card. The rare New Moon Eclipse in Aries started a new potent cycle in his 10^th house of career, profession, recognition, and reputation within 2° degrees of his natal Saturn in Taurus in the 10^th house of public downfalls and the Lunar North Node stationary within 1° degree of his natal Saturn. Saturn and the 10^th house can be punishing when one doesn’t live up to their responsibilities. Pluto at 1° degree Aquarius squared his natal Saturn, and it’s likely we’ll hear from him again, and maybe he’ll get a short-term job on another news network. Still, it won’t last long if he continues his divisive rhetoric. Neptune connects to his natal North Node, opposing Jupiter and the South Node in the 3^rd house of communications, gossip, drama, and the 9^th house of truth and honesty. He will probably continue to spew conspiracy theories and internet gossip that fall short of facts. In about two or so years, he might try launching a new show, even his news media outlet, but his future looks spotty with more legal troubles.

Two extraordinary transits are poised to influence former President Donald Trump's birth chart very soon. The planet Saturn will enter Pisces, his 7th house of partnerships, marriage, relationships, and popularity! When a planet like Saturn enters the 7th house, it almost immediately influences relationships and popularity. But not only that, he might lose some past cooperation and gain the cooperation of new people, developing important new connections who see the world through his eyes. He might actively pursue new connections and relationships and perhaps start vetting a running mate for his next presidential run. Typically when Saturn leaves the 6th house and enters the 7th house, a person is walking away from a job, a relationship, moving away from a place, or starting a new job or business with the encouragement of others who see the individual as someone special.

Pluto also changes signs from Mar.23rd until June 11th entering Aquarius and influencing his 6th house. Typically, this will immediately increase his workload, and he might be willing to work harder. There will be more stress, health issues, a change to his daily routine and schedule, and the desire to put in long hours for his goal. In this case, another bid for the presidency. But this area of the chart, the 6th house, is not a favorable astrological house as it rules hard work, dysfunctional relationships, and enemies. In 2020, when Saturn entered Aquarius (his 6th house), the former president was under his 1st impeachment, which began in the U.S. Senate on January 16, 2020. The 6th house is not a good astrological house to have malefic planets. Pluto could represent powerful enemies and grudges.

The planet Mars is Pluto's lower octave because it is Scorpio's ancient ruler and modern-day co-ruler. As of the writing of this article, Mars in Gemini will have made its 3rd pass over his 10th house Gemini Sun energizing but changing his outlook as he searches for the right combination of words and catchy phrases, tag lines, and names to call people. The 10th house represents success, power, and high achievements. But it can also indicate a fall from grace. Given Saturn's crossing over into his 7th house and Pluto entering the 6th house, will he have the backing he needs for another presidential election bid and win? His birth chart shows that in the past, he has had the backing of wealthy benefactors, patriots, and many in people. The 11th house, which shows backing, mentors, helpful people, and supporters, has Mercury, Saturn, and Venus in Cancer. By the next presidential election on Nov. 24, Pluto will be at 29°, inconjunct with his ruler, and Leo Rising from the 5th house of winning, arrogance, ego, and dominance. This is problematic. He might be unable to dominate the presidential election or outshine the competition. Uranus will have connected to his 10th house, Cusp or midheaven, and square his natal 12th house Mars, and some scandal or unpredictable event could get in the way of his next presidential bid. He might not make it through the 2024 Republican National Convention or GOP Nomination. He might not be the Republican Party's nominee for president. ©

The Alex Murdaugh murder trial is in the news as a high-profile double Murder trial. Prosecutors accuse Murdaugh of killing his wife and son to distract from an array of financial misconduct allegations. His defense attorneys argue he is a caring father wrongly accused after a mishandled investigation.

We don't know his time of birth, but we do know that there was a New Moon in Gemini at 25° at 3:59 AM on June 17, 1958. Here are the possibilities. The Moon could be close to his natal Mercury in Gemini (Ruler), his Gemini Sun, or in the sign of Cancer, his solar 2nd house of money. Mars is in his sign Aries. This gives an impulsive nature, a love of fire, firearms, and quick action. He has admitted to being addicted to opioids since 2021, and Neptune afflicted his natal Saturn, Mercury, and Sun. Venus in a sign she rules Taurus, and mercury is in the sign he rules Gemini. These are strong planetary placements.

Looking at the time of the murders, you can easily see Alex Murdaugh's natal Saturn on the ascendant or approximate time of the alleged murders. Jupiter in Pisces opposed Pluto, the ruler of death, scandals, and cover-ups. Neptune squared his Saturn on and will continue to square his Mercury, Sun, and maybe his Moon. It's not surprising, given his planets, that he took the stand in his defense. His natal Mars was on the Nadir, the 4th house cusp indicating a lack of peace of mind, hypersensitivity, and family troubles. Mars was trine Uranus in the difficult 4th and 8th house of death.

Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their child. The word filicide is derived from the Latin words filius 'son' and the suffix -cide, meaning to kill, murder, or cause death. The word can refer both to the crime and the perpetrator of the crime.

Uxoricide (from Latin uxor meaning "wife" and -cide, from caedere , meaning "to cut, to kill") is the killing of one's wife. ©

This is the solar birth chart of Congressman Geroge Santos using a Sunrise time of 6:42 AM on his Birthday. I don’t have his time of birth. He is 29° Cancer Sun sign, and we know that Mercury and Pluto are nearing this degree, and even when Pluto enters Aquarius in March, Pluto will retrograde into opposition with his Sun 3 times. At 29° the fated degree, his troubles may be a carryover from a previous incarnation. There will continue trouble with authority figures, those in power, or the government over his character until January 2024. His natal Mars is well placed in Aries, giving him that impulsive energy, and he “goes for it.” Jupiter and Venus are in Gemini, where Mars has been transiting since late August. While Jupiter is considered a beneficial Planet, Jupiter in Gemini places Jupiter to his detriment. That makes George Santos a wordsmith on the fly. Intelligent too. He can create stories and, in a typical Gemini manner, sounds convincing!

We don’t know his Moon sign degree, but on July 22nd, there was a 2nd Qtr moon in Libra at 29° Libra, which would have squared his 29° Cancer Sun. The Moon entered Scorpio. But not having his birth time is just an educated guess. His natal Saturn and Uranus are both retrograde in Sagittarius, a sign that exaggerates or blows things up.

His natal Mercury is in Cancer and is aspected by the Lunar Nodes. Mercury rules communications, ideas, how you speak to others, what you say, siblings, commerce, and competition. The South Node is in Virgo and can be associated with stealing and not wanting to work hard. The issue in the news is why he is a pathological liar, or is there something wrong with him? According to my interpretation of his chart, he’s a crook. He was born to go through whatever he did in his previous life again. And then, if he doesn’t learn his lessons again and again.

Did you know there are 88 Constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union? The International Astronomical Union is an international association of professional astronomers, at the PhD level and beyond, active in professional research and education in astronomy. You’ll probably recognize one of the 88 listed below as Ophiuchus, #59 the Serpent Holder. People also refer to Ophiuchus as the 13th Sun sign. However when the Modern Gregorian Calendar which we use today was introduced, it was done so in an effort to standardize time the calendar. There are still many calendars used to this day but the Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most of the world. It was introduced in October 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, hence the name Gregorian Calendar a minor modification of the prior Julian calendar. The Gregorian Calendar reduces the average year from 365.25 days to 365.2425 days, and adjusting for the drift in the 'tropical' or 'solar' year that the inaccuracy had caused during the intervening centuries.

Making things fit into 365.2425 days, 12 months and 4 seasons meant there could only be 12 constellations which we know as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These 12 constellations are the closest ones in our universe. Ophiuchus is farther beyond those 12 constellations.

It gets confusing because Japanese, or Hindu calendars do use 28 constellations or mansions . The Babylonians did use 13 constellations in their calendar, 3000 years ago. Today we use 12 to fit into our 12 months and 4 seasons, our equinoxes and solstices to standardize time. Ophiuchus falls between the signs f Scorpio and Sagittarius. If you are born between Nov. 29th and Dec.17th you could consider yourself an Ophiuchus.

Aries: The favorite color of the Ram is red! Clothing in red or with red details should be simple and quick and easy to put on and take off, no fancy strings and buttons needed here! They also like short cuts and doing things quickly, very quickly. Originally Aries were the warriors of the zodiac and many of them still have a penchant for sharp sword like objects. For the Aries cook I recommend a set of stainless steel knives. For the Aries collector, a collectible sword might be cherished for years to come. Not only does Aries adore sharp objects they like shiny metallic objects. Gifts with mirror décor, or shiny finishes will suit your Aries just fine!

Taurus: This is the sensual sign of the zodiac. Everything with your Taurus in mind should have a fine feel to it. After this rough year Taurus needs to be indulged and pampered. Taurus likes to feel objects with their hands. A massage to soothe the tenseness, or a spa certificate would go over well here. All clothing choices should be soft and sumptuous like the Microsoft materials, and fleece blankets that are cozy and comfortable. Expensive clothing made of fine silk, or soft and luxurious fabrics will please a Taurus every time. Can't afford silk? That's ok; Taurus also likes old worn out and soft finery. Scarves and shirts made of fleece, or flannel will be just as pleasing. Remember it has to be nice to feel, soft to the touch, calming and pleasing to the fingertips.

Gemini: Anything that keeps Gemini on the cutting edge of communication will be the perfect gift. Gemini loves not just to learn and know things, Gemini wants to know things first. Having information available and at a Gemini's fingertips will make this sun sign feel more in control. A PDA to store all their important contacts and information will be a great boon for this sign. A subscription to a magazine, newspaper, satellite news station, even satellite radio, just anything that gets information to your Gemini first will be coveted forever! Not looking to spend that much, turn them on to the latest on the internet, a great blog find where they can voice their views teach and learn will get their attention! Gemini's have fast fingers and can do 2 things at one time a computer is a fantastic idea, if they don't have one already!

Cancer: Those born under the sign of the crab are not only shy and retiring; they're off the Richter Scale with sentimentality! Home holds a special place in their heart. Mom, babies, and family are imprinted on the hearts and souls of all Cancers. A family photo, even a pet photo, as any Cancer will think of their pet as their child. A frame for their photo collection of photos would be appreciated and used! Anything that makes their house a home would be a treasured gift. Cancers have a reputation for not letting go of things. Pac rat's yes, but they prefer to think of themselves as collectors. Find out what your Cancer collects and add to it. They all have collections! Or a set of storage boxes always is a welcome gift item here!

Leo: Leo is the flamboyant sign of the zodiac. It's got to be flashy, Like Boas, rhinestone studded or gold metallic shirts and clothing. This sign probably likes to play dress up and are usually over or under dressed for any occasion, since they like to stand out in a crowd. Leo's have had a pretty rough year, help them to remember their flashier days. Gaudy or items that stand out even items that dress up their fabulous mane of hair will be appreciated by this Sun Sign. Even at home you might find your Leo all decked out! Lingerie will make their bedtime wear as fancy as their daytime time wear. Leo's love fancy hats, hair pieces, hair ornaments. Such as head bands, and barrettes with lots of sequin like jewels. Any headwear reminds them of their prior lifetimes in the royal courts!

Virgo: Many of you already know Virgo's that take to housework like ducks to water, ok once they get started! No other sign in the zodiac has the potential for a cleaner house than Virgo! Anything that makes their house working and cleaning go a little smoother or does the cleaning job a little better, they will love. Like a robotic vacuum cleaner. Fancy brooms, and antimicrobial sponges, even fancy kitchen towels. They hate germs, so cutting edge products and gadgets that kill germs are loved by this Sun Sign. Virgo's are also very hip to personal cleanliness. However, organics is the key word they love, so anything pure and organic will peak their interest. Each and every Virgo is addicted to reading. A book is always a welcome gift item here! Need I say it? Ok, they al think they're sick, a gift basket of pharmaceuticals wouldn't be out of the question.

Libra: Libra is actually a military sign not like Aries though, which is the warrior sign but, the higher echelon of generals and officers. There's always an air of superiority about them. Any type of clothing that looks like a military uniform with crests and badges or pins will certainly please this sign. Can't find military looking clothing? Then, choose something in the color palette of royal to navy blue. The regal allure of those colors please the sensibilities of each Libran. Most individuals born under the sign of Libra have difficult times making decisions, any gadget that they can spin, or turn on and that gives a yes or no answer will be highly treasured, like a lucky 8 ball! Remember though, it must be wrapped and given with an eye towards tastefulness and good manners. Your gift must look good and be pleasing to the eye. They are simple disgusted by anything less than nicely done, not presentable or ugly!

Scorpio: because Scorpio is such a hidden sign, the color most appropriate for them is really black. Scorpio really likes items that look like one thing but, do another. Exercise shirts that actually block out the Sun's harmful rays, or soak up more perspiration than a sponge. Simple black shirts that have become very vogue are well suited for this sun sign. Like their opposing sign Taurus they too enjoy soft textured clothing items, well worn out and supple. Complex directions don't phase this sign and they are well suited to gifts that need assembly, or are difficult to operate. Because Scorpio rules the 8th house some born under this sign would appreciate magic kits, science kits and even card tricks that require slights of hand, or books about the subjects. Anything that is too complex for the rest of us to learn, Scorpio will love!

Sagittarius: if price is no object then take your Sagittarius on a trip. Maybe you could chip in with others and send them on a trip to a far off place! Sagittarius is the sign of the wanderer and being pinned to one place is real torture. Travel books, and DVD's that tour the world are also good replacements for the real thing. Because their ruling planet is Jupiter they are generous and also appreciate generosity in others. An item that they could share or re-gift would by a Sagittarian delight! A donation to a University or religious institution in their name would be welcome too. Big boxes will pique the interest of this sign so whatever you get them put it in a huge box. Large pets like their glyph, the horse would go over well. Can't do a horse this year, then, anything with a horse theme or animal theme would be well liked by this Sun Sign.

Capricorn: This is the elegant sign of the zodiac understated and modest they are probably prone to liking the color gray in their clothing and outer wear. Because the sign rules the winter months outer wear is very appreciated, scarves, hats and gloves coats, mittens, and booties! Capricorn is the sea goat ever climbing higher, that makes it another sign that likes to get the edge over the competition. A printer or item for their business or gift certificate to an office store would be appreciated here! Understated, and conservative items when they are young, Flamboyant, overstated, and loud colors as they age. This Sun Sign has this reverse aging thing going on. When they are young their tastes are older, more conservative, and understated. As they get older they become young again, and they want to stand out, be looked at and be cool and young again!

Aquarius: This sun sign gravitates to the color electric blue! Now that manufactures are making everything in colors, make sure that whatever you chose for Aquarius that it's in a color, preferably electric blue! Small electrical items like iPods, telephones, and blackberries that their friends will like to go over well with this group. If you are thinking about shirts, make them long sleeve for Aquarius, and as they are still on the conservative side. Many born under this sign are still conservative dressers, a fall back from when the sign was ruled by Saturn. More than any other sign, this sun sign is not selfish. Gifts that they can share or do with their friends will go over big! Games, Video games with more than 2 handsets, restaurant gift certificates for at least 4 people as they don't like to do anything by themselves!

Pisces: This sun sign has a penchant for the color purple. Not a loud purple, just the color of Amethyst which is their favorite stone and because it is so available, might make a nice gift for them. This is a dreamy sign that loves fantasy. A fancy get away to a spa, a pampering message to salon or resort will be a thrilling gift for this sign. This sun sign sometimes feels victimized by life. Encouraging posters, Motivational tapes, books, sayings, pictures, and cards always deeply touches and helps them. This is another sign that loves large animals like horses. If you can't afford one, a gift certificate to the zoo, circus, or just photos of horses will do.

It is written in the ancient book Chilam Balam that the Mayan men of Valladolid would take young maidens to the sacred cenote at Chitzen Itza and throw them in; if they surfaced they gave prophecies and were considered prophets. If not the Mayans didn’t think they died. The Cenote at Chitzen Itza was considered so sacred that people from all over the region came there to offer sacrifices. As I walked down the long road to the sacred cenote it was a sad walk, like the walk of death. There was little laughter, even from all the vendors lining the road to the Cenote. Yet there was no indication that we were on sacred ground either. It is marked by a simple wooden sign that simply says cenote and an arrow. Here for hundreds of years, the Mayans made sacrifices of gold, precious stones, and humans, to the Gods that ruled the planets, because they felt their influence over every area of their life. They felt they could appease the planets, not unlike the Hindu view of astrology, with their planetary appropriations. To them the stars were alive and full of energy that was alive and interactive with life on Earth.

I knew the area was full of lower elementals like forest gnomes, because the man in the room next to me kept losing everything. He kept asking me for my business card perhaps for me to prove who I was, or find out who I was, I didn’t have any on me and then he told his wife to give me her business card and as the gnomes would have it, she couldn’t find any! Our guide showed me where the astrologers lived and how each building was for a specific purpose. The Mayans had people to call the winds with a whistle, others to call the rains, healers and of course their astrologers.

Later as I sat by the sacred cenote, it was very peaceful and I felt a presence behind me, I thought maybe a person, no, a huge iguana, walking down the tree, a foot away from me, staring at me, I thought surely he would stop walking, he wouldn’t, I got up! Overall, there was sadness to the land, still embroiled in disputes and lawsuits, with the family that the Mexican government took it from. The saddness was overcoming me so I decided to drive to Ek Balam a newly discovered site that has only been excavated in the last 7 years. The temple there supposedly is much bigger than the one at Chitzen Itza and they think that it’s going to be bigger than Chitzen Itza.
I was asked many times by the people I met, my guards and there were about 40-50 there, if I would ever come back, and sad as it was for all of us, I had to say at that time “No, I wouldn’t”. I know that this ancient land and these people don’t want to be forgotten. They want a voice. They don't want to feel the rest of the world comes and then just leaves. In some ways they are still trapped by their history, and repeat that history all the time. A history of being persecuted on a land that was taken from them enslaved by strangers and held ransom for the gold and treasures the land contained. Both the Mayan blood and the Spanish blood run through their veins. Which makes me ask...” did the Spanish ever apologize to these indigenous people for what they did?” The United States has tried to make amends to our indigenous people and made an attempt to apologize for slavery. The Germans apologized for the Holocaust, as much as they could. Have the Spanish people ever apologized for their atrocities to the Mayans and native South Americans?

Simple Techniques to Alleviating Planetary Afflictions

By Terry Nazon

Planetary propriations is the art of counteracting the affects of bad transits and afflicted planets. It’s well known in all forms of astrology that we are able to counteract, or counterbalance the effects of hard transits that cause problems in our lives. Going through a rough Saturn transit, are you a woman having relationship troubles due to an afflicted Mars. Is your Venus causing financial woes? There are many options available through different methods of astrology for alleviating karmic imbalances or lessons. Some of them are more complicated than others. However, some techniques are easy to do and give the immediate results you need to help you through difficult transits and times. Planetary Gems are very powerful and should only be worn with the advise of a qualified astrologer knowledgeable in this area. There are gems that you should wear your entire life and there are gems or stone you in fact should avoid. Gems will strengthen a weak planet in your chart, and planetary weakness can only be determined by a qualified astrologer.

According to Eastern or Vedic astrology we can counterbalance the effects of the transits or the badly aspected planets in our birth charts. This is also found in Western astrology, Judaic astrology even Chinese astrology too, although not everyone can understand it fully or the methods are too difficult or complicated to implement. For overall general happiness and well being and to keep peace between spouses the Sun should be strengthened with a Ruby. It's no surprise that Diamonds are a girls best friend and strengthen the planet of Love, Venus.

If you are a woman having difficulty the man in your life, finding a mate, with a difficult Mars transit

or Mars is not well aspected in your natal chart it may cause you to have difficulties in relationships and delay marriage for you. It can also cause anger problems, making you touchy and difficult for others to deal with. By wearing a Blood Red Coral, feeding the birds on Tuesday, mediating and praying for 10 minutes daily and being kind to your coworkers, siblings, or underlings you may just do the necessary action that counteracts the negative affects of a poorly aspected Mars.

Saturn in Leo is causing a lot of trouble for people also. By wearing a Blue Sapphire, helping the poor, and offering the birds salty foods, the effects of Saturn are muted.

An Afflicted Venus, in your charts will cause financial troubles. To alleviate financial troubles through Venus, wear Diamonds, zircon, or white topaz, feed the birds white sweets, and help women who have problems.

For increasing business and communications and keeping your mind strong and alert the planet Mercury will be strengthened by wearing an Emerald or Green Tourmaline.

For increasing your luck, prosperity and generosity the planet Jupiter would be strengthened by wearing Yellow Topaz

Before deciding which Gemstone is right for your chart, and planetary afflictions you should consult with a professional astrologer who is knowledgeable in such things. ( See Shopping Cart)

Agate
Agate is a form of chalcedony quartz colored primarily by bands or wispy inclusions. These patterns may be straight, concentric, or shaped in landscape-like patterns. In ancient times, agate was highly valued as a talisman or an amulet, said to miraculously quench the thirst of its owner and to protect him from fever. Agate was also said to cure insomnia, facilitate greater discretion, and bring its wearer strength and victory in battle. Agate bowls have been popular since the reign of the Byzantines, and collecting agate items became a pastime among European royalty during the Renaissance.

Amber
Amber is fossilized tree resin, the material that flows beneath tree bark and protects the tree when its health is threatened by boring insects or heavy weather. Over several million years, the resin hardens, possibly trapping insect specimens inside, and becomes amber. Amber is typically a dark-brown to a pale-yellowish color, albeit interference of light with any bubbles trapped inside may result in green, blue, or violet overtones. Several ways of testing for genuine amber exist. First, amber will float in a saturated salt water solution, while plastic imitations will sink. Second, amber, when burned, emanates a sweet, piney smell, while plastic imitations emit a strong, penetrating, and distinctively unpleasant smell. Also, amber will not melt - it burns like incense, while plastic and poor quality amber, called copal, will melt. Finally, amber will chip and disintegrate into powder when cut, while plastic will form curled peelings or large chips. Amber has never been synthesized. Amber's clarity, however, may improve if it is boiled in rapeseed or linseed oil.

Amethyst
Amethyst is a fairly common purple-to-lilac-colored gemstone, ranging in translucence from the fairly opaque to the more highly valued and higher quality transparent stones. Amethyst is a purple variety of the quartz family, and the stone is generally regarded as the most valuable type of its kind. When left in the sun, amethyst tends to lose its color, which can only be restored by a fairly expensive radiation process. Heat-treated amethyst may change to other colors, such as yellow (citrine), red, brown, green, or clear, at which point it is no longer properly called amethyst. Amethyst is the state gemstone of South Carolina. It is also a symbol of sincerity, security, and peace of mind. Its name comes from the Greek word "amethysts" which means "without wine." According to legend, drinking from an amethyst chalice will prevent intoxication. Amethyst can be imitated by purple glass, albeit its low price makes imitation relatively infrequent and fairly unattractive. Amethyst is the anniversary stone for the 4th, 6th, and 17th years of marriage.

Black Onyx
An opaque, black member of the quartz family, black onyx is also known as chalcedony. Onyx tends to chip or crack rather easily. Take care to protect it from scratches and blows.

Bloodstone
Bloodstone is actually a green jasper dotted with bright red specks of iron oxides (rust). This stone, also known as heliotrope, was treasured in ancient times. Medieval Christians often used bloodstone to carve images of the crucifixion, a common practice that lent it its eventual moniker, the "martyrs' stone." A legend states that at the Crucifixion, the blood of Christ dripped onto and then stained some green jasper, forming the first bloodstone. Fine, powdered bloodstone is used as medication and as an aphrodisiac in India today. In general, the polished surface of this type of stone will dull and later wear away upon contact with water. As with other jewelry, avoid scratches, sharp blows, and contact with harsh chemicals.

Chalcedony
Chalcedony is a fine-grained member of the quartz family, similar in appearance to nephrite jade. It has no distinguishing characteristics, but it may be found in a wide variety of colors, among them the gemstone varieties known as jasper and agate. Two other ornamental varieties of chalcedony are carnelian, which has a deep reddish-brown color, and bloodstone, which is green with red flecks. Pale chalcedonies are often dyed, and usually appear unnatural.

Carnelian
A finely-grained form of quartz mineral, carnelian has a uniformly reddish-brown color that shifts to a deeper red when left in sunlight. It is a member of the chalcedony family, which derives any color from the presence of iron. Carnelian was a useful material in the making of seals, since wax would not adhere to its polished surface.
Citrine

Citrine is a yellow quartz, ranging in color from a lemony-yellow to a dark, smoky brown. In natural citrine, the color is a result of the presence of iron. More often, however, citrine is heat-treated amethyst that has merely turned a golden color. Albeit darker, more orange colors of citrine, sometimes called Madeira citrine after the color of the wine, were valued in past days, in modern times people seem to prefer a lighter, more lemony color. Citrine has been called the stone of the mind. It promotes self esteem, protects from the negative energy, opens the mind to new thoughts and promotes clarity. Natural citrine is actually quite rare. Citrine is sometimes referred to as "citrine topaz" or "quartz topaz", the misleading use of terms meant to fool unsuspecting buyers into mistaking the quartz into the much more precious topaz.

Coral
Coral symbolizes life and blood force energy. Red coral is used for heating and stimulating the bloodstream. It is believed to prevent ill fortune and offer protection from skin disease when worn as a necklace. Coral is a good aid for meditation or visualization. Red coral is linked to the Heart Chakra. One of the few precious gemstones with an organic base, coral is actually calcium carbonate exuded by huge colonies of tiny marine animals called coral polyps. Coral comes in many colors and varieties, white coral being the most common. Other colors include pink, orange, orange-pink, blue, and black. Coral formations occur in reefs throughout Earth's oceans, most typically in shallow waters. Coral of gemstone quality must be of uniform color and dense enough to be polished. While color value varies by source location, deep red and pink corals tend to be the most expensive. Supposedly, red coral changes color depending on the state of its wearer's health, and that variety is further believed to hold curative powers. The coral's magical properties are supposed to be effective as long as it has not been carved by man. Blood Red Coral is associated with the planet Mars. If you have difficulties with men, finding a mate (in the case of a woman) you wear Red Coral. Again Gems used in this manner need to be prescribed by a professional astrologer. I was told once I could wear it for a certain period of time and then not to touch it.

Fluorite
Fluorite is a comparably soft, banded gemstone that comes in every color of the rainbow. It is a popular stone among jewelers and collectors alike. Fluorite is often found in conjunction with calcite, which can be removed using a diluted hydrochloric acid solution.

Garnet
Although garnet is actually a family of gemstones encompassing a wide range of colors, the classic jeweler's garnet, known as pyrope, generally has a deep red color. Other garnet species include the dark red Almandine, the reddish-orange Spessartine, the yellow-green Grossular, the brown-green Andradite, and the deep green Uvaroite. Recently, all five of these other garnets have found their way onto the gem market. A fairly hard mineral, Garnet is about 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness and is the state gemstone of Connecticut and New York. Garnet is given and received as a symbol of consistency, perseverance, and good health. It is a power stone, and, according to legend, it guides its wearer when he's traveling at night. The stone also supposedly protects its wearer from nightmares and depression. It is the anniversary stone for the 2nd and 6th years of marriage.

Green Aventurine
This is a largely green crystal that may have brown overtones due to inclusions of fuschite crystals. Aventurine may fade in the sun.
Hematite
Hematite is a shiny black mineral similar in appearance to polished black steel. Its name is derived from the Greek word "hema," meaning blood, because it will leave a red streak when handled and will dye water red when powdered. Rouge, a common facial powder, is actually powdered hematite. Hematite is a form of iron oxide and is somewhat subject to rusting over time. Specular hematite is relatively brittle and less durable than the jeweler's type, but it displays a spectacular range of rainbow colors. Originally, hematite was used as "mourning jewelery." Hematite was also supposed to stop bleeding, and it was said to bring good fortune to those addressing kings, judges, and entering litigation. Additionally, hematite was once used to bring invulnerability to warriors. Hematine is the best-known hematite imitator. It is a mixture of stainless steel and sulfides of chromium and nickel. Hematine will leave a red streak as does true hematite, but it is magnetic, whereas hematite is not.

Howlite
Howlite naturally occurs in a white or delicately black-veined state, often in masses weighing two kilograms or more. It is often stained blue to imitate turquoise. Howlite is usually used to fashion cabochons, carvings, and beads.

Malachite
A banded, onyx-like green mineral, malachite is semi-medium hard and was once fitted in tables, columns, and vase mosaics for czarist weddings in Russia. Due to its lovely appearance as a pale and dark green material, malachite has long been used as an ornamental stone. Polished malachite produces very attractive cabochons, trays, and beads. Hand-polishing malachite may be facilitated by using a small amount of vinegar and polishing cream.

Jet
Jet is actually a highly compressed, extremely hard form of coal, which is, in turn, a form of carbon. It is actually lignite, a form of brown coal derived from buried driftwood. Albeit not very hard, jet is tough and is well polished easily. Jet has a dull luster on its broken surfaces and is typically cut into beads, crosses, bracelets, cabochons, and other various decorative objects. Jet is typically inexpensive. During the Victorian era, jet was a popular mourning gemstone, used to express grief at the death of a loved one.

Iolite
Iolite is a very strongly pleochroic gemstone that ranges from blue to dark-violet depending on the angle at which it is viewed. Sometimes, the stone may even be trichroic, displaying such colors as gray, yellow, dark-blue-violet, and pale blue. Iolite's name is derived from a combination of the Greek words "ios" and "lithos" meaning "violet" and "stone", respectively. Iolite polarizes light, and it was once used by the Vikings to find the sun on a cloudy day. Iolite has also been said to improve eyesight; promote faith, charity, and helpfulness; and bring higher, purer thoughts.

Jade
Jade is a pale-green-to-orange stone once treasured in China as the imperial stone. Jade appears in two forms, jadeite and nephrite, with jadeite being the higher valued for its more vivid green colors and finer translucency than nephrite jade. Jadeite jade also comes in lavender, pink, yellow, and white. Nephrite is found in less intense dark spinach greens, white, browns, and black. Jadeite jade is often fashioned into dome-shaped cabochons and is a bit harder and more durable than nephrite jade due to its microcrystalline structure. Jade is sold by the piece rather than by the carat. The most important factor of jade is its color, though attention is also paid to its texture, translucency, and pattern. Certain patterns, like moss-in-snow, are highly valued. Jade was once thought to preserve the body after death, and for thousands of years, has prevailed as a symbol of love, purity, and status. It was also, for a time, viewed as a prevention and a cure for kidney problems.

Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli, also known as lazurite, is actually a mixture of several minerals, including lazurite, calcite, and sodalite, with bright deposits of pyrite. Its name comes from the Arabic word "allazward", which means "sky"or "blue." Fine lapis often has violet overtones, the most valuable having a dark-blue, uniform color with no white spots. Lapis is relatively inexpensive, and even the finer materials don't usually sell for more than about $10 per carat. Lapis was a very precious commodity in the ancient world, and in some places was even equated in value with gold. Powdered lapis was used in making the intense blue pigment known as ultramarine by artists like Michaelangelo and Leonardo. Lapis has been imitated very well in recent years. Blue-dyed chalcedony is one of the more common simulators, albeit glass and spinel are also effective. The inclusion of pyrite usually signifies genuine lapis.

Moonstone
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar that gives off a shimmer, known as schiller or adularescence. Moonstones come in a variety of colors, ranging from clear to gray, brown, yellow, green, or pink, and it may be translucent or transparent. The highest quality moonstones have a bluish sheen, a truly colorless body, and perfect clarity. Moonstones are usually cut in a smooth-domed cabochon shape to maximize their shimmering effect, although they are sometimes carved to show a man-in-the-moon face. Moonstone tends to chip or crack rather easily. Take care to protect it from scratches and blows.
Moss Agate
Yet another member of the vast quartz family, moss agate has a colorless or creamy white color speckled with the green, brown, or red deposits that give it its name. A gem associated with the Moon.

Obsidian
Natural glass, obsidian is a black-transparent-to-translucent mineral that is formed from quickly-cooling magma during volcanic eruptions. It was used by the Native Americans to shape arrow and spear-heads. Some beautiful forms of obsidian contain white inclusions that resemble snowflakes.

Pearl
Not a true gemstone, the pearl is actually formed in a shellfish as a reaction to irritants, like sand or other debris. Cultured pearls may be formed by artificially placing irritants inside mussels. Pearls are usually white, brown, silver, cream, black, or pink, depending on the type of shellfish that created them and the type/quality of the water in which the shellfish lives. Their prices vary widely as a result of luster, size, nurturing method, color, and type. Natural pearls are the most expensive, followed by cultured pearls, and finally by freshwater pearls. Pearls are relatively soft, having a hardness factor of 3, and they are state gemstone of Tennessee. Pearls are said to encourage sincere intospection and boost self-confidence. A gift of pearls is said to symbolize the love of the person who presents it. Pearls are also emblems of modesty and purity, symbolizing love, success, and happiness. They are said to foster a happy marriage and are often referred to as the "Queen Gem." The freshwater pearl is the anniversary gem for the first year of marriage. Natural pearl is the anniversary gem for the 3rd, 12th and 30th years of marriage. The pearl is the gem associated with the Moon. It has a calming effect on the emotions, and if you are having financial problems can help bring money into the home.

Picture Jasper
A fairly hard member of the chalcedony/quartz family, jasper is a fairly all-inclusive term for opaque, colored chalcedonies. Jasper displays patterns as often as not, but it usually has a rich body color in shades of red, brown, green, and yellow. A very fine-grained and dense material, jasper polishes easily and brightly.
Quartz
Quartz is one of the most common gemstones, and it is also one of the most variegated, often used as a surrogate for more valuable gemstones, ranging from the diamond to jade. Pure quartz is colorless, but inclusions of other minerals may provide color. Varieties of quartz include the rose quartz, a pinkish translucent quartz; smoky quartz, a brown transparent quartz; and the water-clear rock crystal used in crystal balls. Quartz is also found in forms valued for their inclusions, the rutilated and tourmalinated quartz, which contain hair-like filaments of golden rutile or tourmaline crystals.

Peridot
Peridot is a lime-green-to-olive gemstone often worn in the form of necklaces and earrings. It is created from volcanic eruptions and is sometimes even found on meteors that have fallen to earth. Its color is dependent on its body size, so the smaller stones cannot produce the intense greens for which the the larger ones are especially prized. It is the state gemstone of Nevada and has a hardness rating of 6.5 on the Mohs scale. Peridot is a fairly soft gem and is susceptible to attack by acids, which can quickly remove the polish from its surface. Peridot is a symbol of fame, dignity, and protection, and it is used to transform dreams into reality. When set in gold, it also protects its wearer from terrors of the night. Legend has it that pirates favored peridot to protect them against evil. Peridot is the anniversary gemstone for the 16th year of marriage. As with all gems, protect peridot from scratches, and sharp blows. Also, avoid large temperature changes (such as those that would result in leaving it near a heater vent or in a hot car). Do not clean peridot in a home ultrasonic cleaner.

Rhodochrosite
Ranging in hue from gray and brown to pink and deep red, rhodochrosite is usually found within medium-temperature ore veins and is sometimes of sufficient quality to cut. Because it is usually found in nodules, rhodochrosite is normally fashioned into beads and cabochons. Very rarely, however, will it occur in crystals clean and large enough to facet.

Rhodonite
A pink to rose-red mineral, often speckled or streaked by black spots or veins, rhodonite is often found in proximity to garnet and spinel. Most often, it occurs in a massive form and is used for cabochons, carvings, and beads. Rhodonite is very rarely found in pieces clean enough from which to fashion into gems. It was once used to make Russian service platters and was often given as a gift during royal czarist weddings. If found in the transparent form, rhodonite displays distinct pleochroism, meaning it appears to be of different colors when viewed from different angles.

Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is a much rarer, considerably more expensive form of the extremely common clear quartz (or rock crystal). It has a rosy-red hue that may be fairly cloudy as a result of straking by small fissures. Rose quartz is somewhat less common than the other color varieties, and it sometimes contains rutile inclusions dense enough to form a star. Rose quartz is for love and who doesn't need more love!

Smoky Quartz
Smoky quartz is a rarer, considerably more expensive form of the extremely common clear quartz (or rock crystal). It has a fairly deep brown color that has only recently become more popular among collectors and the public. The reason for its dark color is unknown, but it is believed to spring from radioactive processes. Smoky quartz is sometimes found with golden rutile inclusions.

Sodalite
One of the components of lapis lazuli, sodalite occurs in gray, red, yellow, green, and blue varieties, albeit only the blue stones have any ornamental uses. It is a generally inexpensive mineral often used in small carvings. Occasionally, sodalite occurs in a form of sufficient quality to be faceted, though it generally has a somewhat hazy appearance.

Tanzanite
Tanzanite is a pleochroic stone, a transparent version of the mineral zoisite, and may range in color from blue to dark violet, albeit in recent years a transparent green tanzanite was also discovered. Tanzanite comes only from Tanzania. Tanzanite is fairly brittle and must be handled with extreme care. It is typically safer in earrings and pendants than in rings. Nearly all tanzanite is heat-treated to improve (or sometimes even create) the blue and dark violet colors and simultaneously to drive away the undesirable yellows and the browns.

Tigerseye
An opaque form of included quartz that, when beaded and polished, is streaked by spindle-like bands of light. These bands of light are a result of the presence of compact fibers of quartz that have replaced the original asbestos. Albeit typically of a brown or brownish-yellow to a blue or blue-green hue, heated yellow-brown tigerseyes may take on a reddish color due to oxidation of iron present inside the gemstone. Tigerseye may also be bleached in hydrochloric acid and then dyed in colors such as pure red, yellow, blue, gray, or green. These colors are relatively attractive, but do not occur in nature. In vedic Astrology you are alway advised to be very careful with Tiger's Eye if you are not sure if you should be wearing it don't, ask a qualified Astrologer first!

Topaz
Although the name most often conjures up images of a sun-like yellow, topaz also comes in blue, pink, brown, green, and clear varieties. "Imperial" topaz, which is a light pink-orange color, is the rarest variety, and therefore the most valuable. Clear topaz can be irradiated and heated and thus transformed into other colors like blue or yellow; or brown topaz may be by application of heat transformed into pink topaz. Natural pink topaz is relatively rare. Topaz has a hardness of 8 and is the state gemstone of Utah and Texas. The ability to artifically produce color in topaz has made the stone increasingly more common and affordable in recent years, and now blue topaz is one of the most widely sold gemstones on the jewelery market. Topaz, in ancient times, was a symbol of strength. When carved into the shape of a falcon, it was thought to be able to acquire the good will of kings and princes. Topaz is the anniversary gemstone for the 4th and 19th years of marriage. Imperial topaz is the anniversary gemstone for the 23rd year of marriage. Yello Topaz is favored by the Vedic Astrologer for it's lucky properties and ties to the planet Jupiter. If you need more luck you need more Yellow Topaz!

Tourmaline
The word "tourmaline" is derived from from the Sinhalese term "turamali", which means "mixed colored stones." It has likely one of the richest and widest color ranges of all gems, and, like garnet, it is actually a group of individual gems/minerals. Tourmaline is actually the general group name of several different minerals with similar atomic structures and chemical compositions. The gemstone family has perhaps the largest band of colors, ranging from colorless to black and every color in between. Reddish-purple tourmalines are the most valuable and may have brown, pink, and orange gradations. Greener tourmaline are modified by shades of blue, yellow, and brown, with particularly rich varieties selling for more than $100 per carat. Tourmaline is piezo-electric, which means it will generate a charge if put under pressure; and it is also pyro-electric, which means it will generate a charge if heated and then cooled. Tourmaline is associated with level-headedness, meditation, and compassion. It was also believed to enable alchemists change base metals into gold. Green Tourmaline is a fine replacement for the very expensive Emerald. Green stones like Tourmaline strengthen the planet Mercury.

Turquoise
Turquoise is a vibrant light-blue-to-green-gemstone with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. It is often fracture sealed, which means it is sealed with acrylic resin to enhance its color, texture, and hardness, not that it has fractures. Turquoise made in a laboratory has a very uniform color, and chalky varieties of turquoise are often coated with wax or oil to enhance its color. When thus treated, the color change is not permanent. Under heat (roughly about 500 degrees Celsius), blue turquoise will adopt a greenish hue. Turquoise is porous and will absorb oils (including skin oils) over time, gradually changing to a yellowish color. Turquoise supposedly prevents procrastination, and it has been thought to warn its wearer of danger or illness by changing color. Turquoise is the anniversary gemstone for the 5th year of marriage. Turquoise is somewhat soft, so avoid scratches and sharp blows. To be certain that no coatings are removed, also avoid hot water and household chemicals. Turquoise according to vedic astrology is associated with the planet Saturn and should be used only with the reccommendations of a qualified astrologer. if you are have problems avoid wearing Blue Sapphires and Turquoise since the are aligned with the planet Saturn.

The Space between the Words, Developing Intuition

By Terry Nazon Astrologer/Psychic

We all have intuitive abilities that are just waiting to be developed. Psychic abilities live in the space between the words, and between the thoughts. Quiet your mind by not speaking to achieve a greater sense of awareness. It's not what you are saying.it's not what you are thinking. Spirit speaks to us most vividly in our quiet times of reflection.in between the thoughts and words. To develop your intuition more fully completely relax in a quiet space. Close your eyes and focus on your third eye area between your eye brows. Try then to quiet the mind and shut out any thoughts. If there's a particular problem, you are having, focus solely on that problem.somehow without letting your thoughts bombard you. In that moment of quietness, the space between the words and the thoughts are all your answers to all your problems. Repeated practice of this technique should give you more clarity on whatever is troubling you or someone close.
