STORIES & INSIGHTS

Meet Dianne Lawson, Astrologer

We recently connected with Dianne Lawson, Astrologer and have shared our conversation below.

Dianne, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today. In our experience, overnight success is usually the result of years of hard work laying the foundation for success, but unfortunately, it’s exactly this part of the story that most of the media ignores. So, we’d appreciate if you could open up about your growth story and the nitty, gritty details that went into scaling up.

Being an astrologer in Topeka, Kansas and making a good living at it seems improbable. The reason why I was able to scale up and build my business was because I continually have treated what I do as a business, as well as a service to others. I had worked for many years as a social worker and have degrees in social work and psychology. I knew that I needed to take classes and workshops in business, marketing and public relations. There are lots of people who would love to be professional astrologers, but don’t treat what they are doing like a business. I remember the first e-commerce workshop I went to many years ago. The presenter told me I needed to have a website, an email list, a blog, a Facebook business page, a Facebook business group and a LinkedIn page. None of which I had. I came home from the workshop overwhelmed and dismayed. But, I immediately set out and worked nonstop until I acquired all of them.

The four main reasons I have continued to grow my practice until I have clients from all over the world is, 1. I have continually taken classes and read books to improve all of my abilities to be an astrologer who is also a business owner.
2, I have a large email list of people to whom I send out helpful astrology information. These emails keep me constantly in front of my clients’ minds. I cannot send out any email without clients calling me requesting astrological help from me.

3. I connect with lots of other people who help me attract clients. The number one way other people have helped me is to be on their podcasts and radio shows. If someone has hundreds of thousands of followers and I am on his or her show, I will always attract new clients.

4. My book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, sets me apart as someone who is an expert on helping people with relationships. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1981281576

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

How I found astrology

Many years ago a famous astrologer, Zipporah Dobbins, was coming to my town. I had never been interested in astrology before that, but when I heard myself say, “I have never had that done before,” I knew I would have to give it a try.

Whenever I hear myself say those words, I usually have to try it, as I am insatiably curious. I was blown away with Zipporah Dobbins told me. She knew specific and intimate things about me. I left her and went to my public library and came out with a pile of books to see how she had done it.

Diving into studying books and taking classes, I soon began doing charts for friends and family members. I soon became a professional astrologer and have never looked back. I found my calling. My professional life As a former licensed social worker and current ordained minister, I see my purpose in life is to help others and I feel very blessed that I am able to help people through my work. Living in Topeka, Kansas, I work with people locally, as well as from all over the world, in person, over the telephone, with Skype, FaceTime or Facebook.

I have helped all kinds of people improve their lives from the famous to the infamous. Well-known politicians, including a governor of a U. S. state, state representatives and a city manager have been my clients. A Pulitzer Prize winner, Tony Award winners and several prominent authors and businessmen have also been my clients. More colorful clients have included prostitutes and criminals.

A professional astrologer since 1973, I have studied with a wide variety of teachers, including western and Vedic. A voracious reader, I have an extensive astrology library. I have presented hundreds of classes, workshops and talks, to groups, clubs, organizations, government agencies and churches and over the radio.

Published more than 100 times in national astrology magazines, including in Mountain Astrologer, Dell Horoscope, American Astrology, True Astrology Horoscope, Complete Astrology Forecast and Mercury Hour, I have also been published in other magazines, including Fate, Toastmaster and children’s Christian magazines. I have also been published hundreds of times in newspapers and newsletters.

My book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, was recently published. I am working on a new book, Extraordinary Experiences.

A graduate of Washburn University of Topeka, I earned degrees in psychology and social work. I also did graduate work at the University of Montana in psychology, specifically in behavior modification.

My personal life:
Astrology over the years has helped me personally understand myself and others better, prepare for the future and know my life purpose and path. One of my favorite astrology stories about myself is when my husband came to me as a client. The second his birth chart came off of my printer and I looked at it, I knew I would marry him. The connections between our birth charts was astonishing.

I am married, have two daughters and two sons, and two granddaughters and a grandson. My most recent passion is Geocaching (see www.Geocaching.com). I also love traveling, reading, writing, being with family and friends, golf, walking, bird watching and learning new subjects. One of my goals in life is to travel to all seven continents. I love animals, including insects and spiders, and especially penguins and cats. I am a member of Mensa and Intertel (high IQ societies).

First, I usually like for you to start out with your birth chart, as it gives good information about you as a person and your life as a whole. It explains your talents, abilities and purpose in life. We always talk about relationships and career.

Second, I like to talk with you about your yearly forecast. It helps you understand and prepare for the astrological weather of the next twelve months. It helps you work with challenging times and grab opportunities.

Third, at any time, you could call me for astrological guidance. Astrology has a wide variety of techniques to guide you to help you create the life you desire.

Fourth, a chart comparison between your chart and that of someone else’s can be helpful. It helps you appreciate the good things, and navigate through the more challenging aspects of the relationship.

Fifth, you could use horary astrology to answer any important questions. If you have an important question, the heavens are willing to help.

I believe that astrology is the best tool we have to navigate through life. The whole heavens are willing to help us if we only listen to what they have to tell us.

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?

The number one way I keep in touch with clients is through my email list. I send out infrequent information about astrology that may be interesting or useful to my clients. It keeps me in the forefront of their minds and when they need clarification or help about any area of their lives, they contact me for help. I believe that every business owner needs an email list. I always ask anyone I meet who is interested in astrology if they want to be on my free email list. Anyone who would like to receive emails from me about astrology, can sign up at my website, www.DianneLawson.com.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Even though I am constantly learning about astrology and business, probably my number one thing that has had an impact on my thinking and practice of my business is my weekly talks with my son. My son is also a business owner and breeds Old English Bulldogges that he sells to people around the world. He is my accountability partner and someone who is also constantly working on improving his business, too.

OCTOBER 24, 2022

For many years I did this at the exact moment of the equinoxes (the first days of spring and autumn) and I have the firm belief that eggs stand on end more easily during that moment. You might try it yourself September 22, 2022 at 8:03 p.m. Scientists scoff at this belief, but I personally have tried it with success. I would be interested in hearing any results you may have if you wish to share them with me.

Many astrologers look at the exact moment of the equinoxes and the solstices to see what the next three months will bring after them. I looked at the chart for the moment of the autumnal equinox and saw four major astrological events to share with you.

Saturn square (is about 90 degrees from) Uranus. People disagree with others about just about everything. If you don’t believe me, talk to the next person you see about abortion, the past presidential election, Trump, vaccination, the corona virus, guns or masks. Or watch different news stations to see how differently they are reporting the news. This gives us opportunities to pick our battles instead of fighting over issues that will not change anyone’s mind; and to love people even when they don’t share our beliefs.
Six planets are retrograde. Retrograde planets happen often and are when planets appear to be moving backward through the signs of the zodiac, based upon the relative positions of them and the earth. What is unusual is to have this many happen at once. This is no cause for alarm. Retrograde planets are just part of the natural order of ebb and flow. They indicate that it is a time for reflection, rather than blindly charging on ahead. This can be used to our advantage.
Venus opposite (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune. People may not be what they appear and we need to be careful not to be deceived. It can be hard to know what is true. It is a good time to use our artistic and creative abilities.
Mars trine (is about 120 degrees from) Saturn. Sustained and hard work brings great results. Slow and steady wins the race. Focus on what is most important and do it first.

Of course, this is just a part of what is going on in the sky, but it is helpful information about what the underlying influences are for the next three months.

As above, so below.

A Happy Mercury Retrograde Story

Just in Time for Mercury Retrograde Starting September 10, 2022

There is an ebb and flow to all of life. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. The Sun comes up, the Sun goes down. Mercury goes in direct motion, Mercury goes retrograde. Neither one is better than the other. Yet, astrologers (myself included) and people interested in astrology, often make when Mercury is retrograde sound like doom and gloom.

I told you that I would tell a happy Mercury Retrograde story. Here it is. Just in time, as Mercury goes retrograde September 10, 2022.

I applied for a position as an adoption social worker for Catholic Community Services under Mercury Retrograde. I knew when I applied, that Mercury was retrograde. I knew that sometimes when you apply for or start a new job under Mercury Retrograde, the job may change or be short lived. Did I make a mistake applying then?

I worked for Catholic Community Services for three months and was then told that Catholic Community Services for the entire state of Kansas would no longer be handling adoptions. Therefore, all of their adoption social workers would be out of a job.

Six reasons why applying for a position under Mercury Retrograde worked out well for me.

I had to apply for the position because I could no longer stand where I was working as a foster care social worker. Applying at Catholic Community Services got me out of a horrible situation.
I loved the few months I worked at Catholic.
The minute the adoption social workers left the group meeting telling us we would no longer have jobs, a supervisor called me aside. The agency created a job for me working part time with Friendly Visitors and part time writing for the archdiocese in Kansas City. I was honored that I was the only person in the state who they created a special job for.
I worked for a week with Friendly Visitors and writing for the archdiocese and loved it.
I then decided that I would follow the kids who were up for adoption as their cases went over to Lutheran Social Services. I applied for the position there and was hired by a former supervisor of mine who liked me. I felt honored that another person wanted me to work for them.
Even though I quit working at Catholic Community Services, the archdiocese in Kansas City continued to have me write for them for a good amount of money.

Although things sometimes change when they are started under Mercury Retrograde, it is not always a bad thing.

A Mercury Retrograde Horror Story

It took us three days to get home from Egypt to Topeka, Kansas. It took my husband John and me all day to travel from the very south of Egypt to Cairo and then to Istanbul. We arrived exhausted in Istanbul at midnight. We then discovered that we had a 14-hour layover. My husband refused to sleep on the terminal floor. I was so tired that I just wanted to lie down on the floor anywhere, put my head on my backpack with my carry-on under my arm and go to sleep.

He wouldn’t leave the airport either and called the airport hotel for a room. Of course, at midnight the airport hotel was full. John found a comfort room (or something, I can’t remember what it was called—just remember I was exhausted) and paid a hefty price. It was a place that you had unlimited drinks and food and comfy seats and couches to relax on. Drinks and food were the last things I wanted. All I wanted was to sleep. The lights were exceedingly bright and there were signs all over that said you had to keep your feet on the floor.

We disregarded the signs and laid down on the couches. The lights were so bright that I couldn’t sleep. My husband gave me his coat to cover my face to block out the lights. (I still owe you one, John.) Periodically someone came over and told us to sit up. We would for a moment and promptly lie back down. Our sleep was not refreshing.

After a very long night we caught our plane to Chicago. And missed our flight to Kansas City. We had to spend the night in Chicago. Thank God, we were able to sleep in a real hotel. We then made it to Kansas City, but had to drive home to Topeka through road construction and heavy rains.

Was this a trip taken during Mercury Retrograde? No. Then why am I telling you this story? Because we booked the trip during a Mercury Retrograde period.

Why didn’t I, as an astrologer, pay more attention to the planning? I had been wanting to go to Egypt for years and John refused to go. He said, “They blow up tourists there.” Our State Department said Egypt was a level 2 country to visit (meaning increased caution.) I told John that we had been to lots of level 2 countries and lots of countries where they blow up tourists. I was so excited that he was finally willing to go that I immediately booked a trip for us. I didn’t even look at the flight schedules. I didn’t care at the time. All I cared about is that I was going to Egypt.

Why am I telling you this story? Because it is a good example of what might happen when Mercury is retrograde. Under Mercury Retrograde, we may not be as thoughtful as we should be. We may not have all the information that we need. Am I telling you never to travel or plan a trip under Mercury Retrograde? No, but Mercury Retrograde can be one planetary happening that says we should slow down, pay attention and think things through.

Mercury Retrograde is not all bad. Watch for a story that will be coming that started under Mercury Retrograde yet turned out really well.

Six simple questions to prove that he or she is not “The One”

These questions are not the final answers but are sure good questions to be asking yourself. Please excuse the use of only the pronoun he as using he or she or they gets unwieldy.

He is not ethical.

This is by far the best reason to know that this person is not the one for you. The most important (and the most overlooked) attributes you want someone to have are to be ethical, honest and principled. I remember when my husband and I started dating, if a wait staff undercharged us, he would always tell the wait staff to correct the bill and he would pay what should have been charged. Little things like that can be quite informative about someone’s character.

Do your friends like him?

This is a great test. If your friends like him, it is a good sign that he might be a match for you. If they are warning you about him, take a step backward and slow things down. They are not going to be wearing the same rose-colored glasses that you are.

Do your family members like him?

Family members usually know you well and know what your needs are. I have clients who have arranged marriages where family members are involved in marriage choices. Those clients think that arranged marriages have a better chance of happiness than marriages where family members are not involved. Arranged marriages are not the same as forced marriages, and the bride and groom are part of the process. Arranged marriages have a much lower divorce rate than love marriages.

Do you feel comfortable being yourself?

Can you let him see who you really are or do you have to pretend to be someone else? Do you have to walk on eggshells around him so he doesn’t get angry? Everyone deserves to be with someone who will accept and love them the way that they are.

How does he treat others?

Is he respectful to wait staff? Does he fly into a rage and scream obscenities at people who cut him off in traffic? How he treats others can be a good indication as how he will treat you when the honeymoon period is over.

How does he speak of exes?

How he speaks of exes will probably show exactly how he might speak about you later. If he tell you about a line of “crazy bitches” in his past, he probably is not taking any responsibility for his part of the relationship. You also have to wonder why he attracted “crazy bitches.”

The above tests are not set in stone but are questions you should be asking about relationships. I am including how to buy my book because it has what I think are the most important things to know regarding astrology and relationships. For more information about my book, go to: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1981281576

Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus

This can be a good placement if we are disciplined in working towards our goals. This isn’t always easy but can have good, long-lasting results.

Putting Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus together is a mass of contractions. I think during 2022 the sense of what we value will be challenged.

We have a collective sense of responsibility towards others.

Society has big changes in how we view others, how we spend our money and take care of the earth.

Our task is learning to accept others who are not like us and who do not share our views.

We need to be willing to make needed changes to keep up with the times, while keeping our important values.

If you like surprises and unexpected events, you will not be disappointed with 2022.

Summer Solstice Astrology Forecast for the next three months

As an astrologer, I have known that many astrologers pay special attention to the astrology charts of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices are when the Sun reaches the highest or lowest point in the sky each year, causing the days to be the longest or the shortest of the year. The equinoxes are when the Sun is on the celestial equator, causing days and nights to be equal. Each solstice or equinox chart shows the background astrological weather for the next three months until the next equinox or solstice.

I have never paid much attention to the solstices or the equinoxes because there are always lots of other, and I think, more important things going on in the sky at any time. Two recent events, however, have made me stop and pay more importance to this Summer Solstice, which is today, June 21, 2022. The first is that my daughter Stacy decided to get married on the Summer Solstice. Happy Summer Solstice and happy wedding day today, Stacy and Joseph! They intuitively felt that the Summer Solstice was a special time.

The second is that last month my husband and I went to Ireland and saw Newgrange. Newgrange is the best known Irish passage tomb that dates back to 3,200 BC. It is older than Stonehenge or the Pyramids. At Newgrange a ray of sunlight travels down the 19-meter stone passageway and hits the central chamber only on the Winter Solstice. Newgrange, and many other places around the world we have seen in person, are aligned on the solstices and equinoxes.

My husband John and I have travelled to other places that have also been purposefully aligned with the solstices and equinoxes—The Great Pyramid, The Sphinx, Abu Simbel and The Temple of Karnak in Egypt, Stonehenge in England, Machu Picchu in Peru, Cahokia Mounds in Illinois, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, to name some off the top of my head.

If so many ancient people all thought these four times of the year were so important as to mark the timing of them in these massive and wonderful constructions, maybe I should pay more attention to them as well.

Today, June 21, 2022 is the Summer Solstice. The astrology chart of this moment shows the background astrological forecast for the next three months until the Autumnal Equinox.

Two things jump out at me when I look at today’s astrology chart. The first is the big number of planets in their own signs. Each planet has a correspondence with one of the signs of the zodiac. When planets are in their own signs, their power is intensified. It is unusual to have five planets in their own signs at the same time–this can help us reach our goals.

Pay attention to the keywords listed below regarding the planets and the signs. Use the planetary energy in ways that will benefit you and others.

Mercury is in Gemini. Mercury and Gemini both correspond with mental processes, communication and short distance trips.

Venus is in Taurus. Both have to do with stability and money.

Mars is in Aries. Both are good at starting new projects and having energy to get things done.

Saturn is in Aquarius. This is a good time to work hard toward our goals and reform and restructure our lives.

Neptune is in Pisces. Both Neptune and Pisces represent unconditional love, music, art, connection to Spirit, psychic gifts, meditation and yoga. Making time to incorporate these into our lives makes our lives more meaningful.

The second thing that jumped out at me was the fact that the Sun squares (is about 90 degrees from) the Moon in this chart. I was talking to my daughter Trish who is also an astrologer, and she thought my conception of this aspect was too negative. I tend to think that squares indicate conflict and challenges. She focuses on the opportunity for growth and accomplishment they can bring.

We both agree that a square can provide needed energy to accomplish tasks, especially because the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Aries are in Cardinal Signs. Cardinal signs are active and initiative. I think this aspect can give us energy to work on our homes and gardens—the Sun in Cancer is home-loving. This aspect also makes us more open to initiating change in ourselves and in our homes.

As always, it is more important to see how what is going on in the sky is affecting your birth chart, but this is the prevailing weather for the next three months. Short trips, writing, communicating, being responsible with money, starting new projects, practicing yoga and meditation and being loving are going with the current flow of the universe.

Favorite Feng Shui Books

When I gave talks at The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library on Feng Shui, the librarian asked me to tell her names of my favorite Feng Shui books. I did, and she made bookmarks with those titles to hand out to people who came to my talks.

Here are the titles of the books I gave her.

Feng Shui for Beginners: Successful Living by Design by Richard Webster

Interior Design with Feng Shui by Sarah Rossbach

The Feng Shui Companion by George Birdsall

Feng Shui: The Chinese Art of Placement by Sarah Rossbach

Living Color: Master Lin Yun’s Guide to Feng Shui and the Art of Color by Sarah Rossbach and Lin Yun

The Feng Shui Handbook by Derek Walters

Since I gave those titles to the librarian, I would add the following books.

The Feng Shui Companion a user-friendly guide to the ancient art of placement by George Birdsall

The Everything Feng Shui Book Create harmony and peace in any room by Katina Z. Jones

Warning

There are many different schools of Feng Shui. All of the above books follow the Black Hat sect school of Feng Shui. This school does not base placement of anything on the the directions–North, South, East or West–as other schools do. Do not mix up anything you read in other books about directions with what you read in any of my favorite books.

People are affected by their surroundings, and their homes and offices reflect their inner selves. If you change your surroundings, you can change your lives.

The subject of Feng Shui is vast and sometimes overwhelming. We will never be able to have any of our spaces perfect, but it is something we continually work for. I would encourage you to walk through your home or office space periodically and look around to see how it makes you feel. I would also encourage you to have a professional Feng Shui consultant. A consultant will have fresh and experienced eyes to look at your spaces. For more information, go to http://diannelawson.com/feng-shui/

Favorite Astrology Books

I have given 14 talks about astrology and Feng Shui at The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. The librarian who asked me to come and talk about astrology asked me to tell her what my favorite books were. I told her, and she made bookmarks to give to my audience members that had the list of my favorite books on them. At that time, these were the list of books that I told her. In parenthesis, I will tell you why I chose those particular books.

A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator by Llewelyn George. (When I had my birth chart done by Zipporah Dobyns, I was so astonished at how accurate she was, that when I left her, I went immediately to the library to find out how she did what she did. I came out of the library with a pile of books in my arms and this was the first one I read. I was further astonished when I read the book, as I was extremely familiar with it. I not only knew what would come next in the book, but I know what I agreed with and what I did not. This was the first of several old books that I knew what was in them.)

The Compleat Astrologer by Derek and Julia Parker. (I think I am on my third copy of this book and it’s cover is held together by lots of heavy scotch tape. This book is a great book for beginning astrologers, as it covers everything an astrologer would need to know to get started in astrology.)

The Luminaries: the Psychology of the Sun and Moon in the Horoscope by Liz Green. (Liz Green is a good astrologer who is also a good writer.)

The Outer Planets & Their Cycle: the Astrology of the Collective by Liz Green. (This is another of her books that I love and would highly recommend it.)

Alan Oken’s Complete Astrology: the Classic Guide to Modern Astrology by Alan Oken (This is an interesting guide to understanding modern astrology.)

Any books by Robert hand, Stephen Arroyo, Zipporah Pottenger Dobys, Joan Quigley, Ivy Jacobson, Evangeline Adams and Donna Cunningham.

The following books are not on the library’s bookmarks, but I would have to included them with my favorite astrology books.

C. C. Zain, also know as Elbert Benjamine. (I have been given a huge number of astrology books at different times by four different people. In one of these bonanzas, was a bunch of nine books written by C. C. Zain. I use his Horary Astrology book so frequently that the pages are falling apart.

Stephen Forrest has written a lot of books about astrology, all of which are quite good.

Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology by Dianne Lawson. (I am including my book because it has what I think are the most important things to know regarding astrology and relationships. For more information about my book, go to: http://diannelawson.com/book/

Top 20 things to do when Mercury is direct

As in everything in the world, there is an ebb and flow to Mercury going in forward motion and then in retrograde, or backward, motion (as seen from the Earth. Of course, Mercury never goes backward, but it sometimes seems so, based upon the Earth’s and Mercury’s relative positions. Mercury goes in retrograde motion through the signs of the zodiac about three times every year and then in forward motion through the signs of the zodiac. For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde.

Since Mercury has a correspondence with communication, mental processes, health and transportation, it usually seems to function better for us humans when it is going in direct motion. Some of my most-opened emails are when I notify that Mercury is going retrograde, because people want to be prepared about that. Some people sigh in relief when it goes direct again. There are always lots of planetary changes going on at the same time, but Mercury going in direct motion often helps us communicate more effectively, think more clearly and have better experiences while traveling.

Mercury is in direct motion now through September 9, 2022.

Top 20 things to do during a Mercury Direct period

Have your birth chart done to understand yourself and your life path
Have your yearly forecast done to prepare for the next twelve months
Take action

Start a new job
Schedule meetings
Go on trips
Make important decisions
Have important communications
Use your mind
Take classes
Take care of your health
Submit your work to new publishers

One ship sails East

I love this poem because it explains how I believe we should use the planetary forecasts. It is helpful to know which way the astrological wind is blowing and how hard it is blowing, so we can use the wind to help us get where we want to go. So here, is the poem.

One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
‘Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.

A rare, 5-planet alignment will take over the sky this month

June 2022

(CNN)Don’t forget to look up this weekend to see the start of a rare, five-planet alignment grace the night sky.

Beginning in the early morning hours of Friday, June 3, the five planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will align in planetary order.

Telescopes reveal why Neptune is more blue than Uranus

This rare phenomenon has not occurred since December 2004, and this year, the distance between Mercury and Saturn will be smaller, according to Sky & Telescope.

Stargazers will need to have their binoculars handy along with a clear view of the eastern horizon to spot Mercury near the start of the month, the space magazine said. As June progresses, Mercury will become brighter and easier to see, according to Diana Hannikainen, observing editor of Sky & Telescope.

The rest of the planets should be consistently visible to the naked eye, she added.

The best time to view the five planets is in the 30 minutes before sunrise, she said.

You don’t have to travel to catch a glimpse of the action because it will be visible to people around the globe.

Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere can see the planets from the eastern to southeastern horizon while those in the Southern Hemisphere should look along the eastern to northeastern horizon. The only requirement is a clear sky in the direction of the alignment.

If you wake up and the weather blocks the sky, don’t worry, Hannikainen said.

“Just keep looking throughout the month of June and as soon as you have a clear morning, go out and enjoy that view,” she said.

The moon joins the party

In addition to the five planets, the waning crescent moon will also be in alignment between Venus and Mars on June 24.

Unlike on the days leading up to it, this special celestial alignment can be viewed in the hour before sunrise, Hannikainen said.

By the next day, the moon will have continued its orbit around the Earth, moving it out of alignment with the planets, she said.

If you miss the five-planet alignment in sequential order, the next one will happen in 2040, according to Sky & Telescope.

Transform Your Small Space: How to Feng Shui Your Apartment

April 28, 2022 by Mekaila Oaks

If you’re living in a small apartment and feel like your space is always cluttered, feels confined, or the atmosphere just feels off, you’re not alone. Luckily, no matter the size or layout of your apartment, you can easily transform your small space with Feng Shui. And what better time than the spring to declutter and decorate to create a well-balanced, harmonious home?

To help you get started, we’ve reached out to Feng Shui experts across the country for their best advice on transforming a small apartment with Feng Shui. So whether you’re renting a studio apartment in San Francisco or living in Denver, Atlanta, or another city where you can get more bang for your buck, these transformational Feng Shui tips will help you make the most of your small space.

Set the tone for your apartment with the entrance

Half the battle is won through paying extra attention to your home’s entrance or main door. The main door has the utmost importance, along with the kitchen and bedroom, which forms the critical trinity in home Feng Shui. Apartments with good Feng Shui will have a bright and spacious entrance and walkway (called the “Bright Hall”). – Feng Shui Discovery

Small spaces are cozy and comforting. To make the most of it, keep all areas tidy, the bathroom door closed, and move shoes away from the front door. As small as your place may be, keep the front door clear so chi can come into your home to fill it with prosperous energy. If you can, keep two planters on the outside of the front door. When looking out the front door from the inside, the planter on the left side should be larger than the one on the right side to increase your luck and protection. – Kerstin Tracy

Choose colors intentionally to create a soothing home atmosphere

Small spaces may feel even smaller if there’s too much stuff or too many colors everywhere. Give your apartment breathing space by keeping a wall in a light, neutral color and use wall scones that reflect light upwards. Apply soothing colors that you see out in nature, such as aquamarines, sky blues, light sand beach tones, or light shades of grays that inspire a sense of freedom and comfort. This is a simple way to bring nature into your space and give your mind a place to rest. – Zenotica

Utilize mirrors to lighten your space and incorporate plants to bring in the wood element

Mirrors are excellent in small spaces as they encourage good Feng Shui and lighten and brighten throughout. Love plants? Position the mirror to reflect the plant, and you’ll amplify the wood element of Feng Shui. Need a serene grounding energy in your space? Shape is key in Feng Shui, so go with a square or rectangular-shaped mirror. – Pure Living with Lisa Morton

Place furniture and artwork with balance in mind

A small space can be just as beautiful as a large space when you follow the rules of Feng Shui. Make sure you don’t have too much stuff than your space allows for. If you need to declutter, ask yourself, “do I need this” or “do I love this” when looking at each item. If not, consider letting it go. Having a few right-sized pieces of furniture balanced properly in the room makes a huge difference in how a space feels. It’s almost important that you don’t over-accessorize. A few statement pieces and art on the walls with depth or a large mirror can make the room feel more expansive. Keep in mind that every wall doesn’t need art, but it needs to be placed properly, so it’s balanced in the room. – Metro Interiors

Removing clutter from your apartment is essential for positive energy flow

Allow your apartment to feel lighter and brighter by decluttering
Encourage positive energy to enter and flow through your home by removing clutter – which is anything that’s no longer used or doesn’t have a proper home. Clutter drags you down and creates barriers in your life, while decluttering makes a space feel lighter and brighter, boosting energy and making space for new opportunities. Fix or discard broken items and invest in colorful or white stacking boxes to tidy paperwork, sentimental items, important papers, and stationery. Wicker or sisal baskets can be used in the pantry for storage and the bathroom for toiletries. After you’ve cleared your home of clutter, donate items and clothing you don’t need or will no longer use. – Anne Roselt

Only keep your favorite items
With small spaces, it’s crucial to pair down your belongings to your absolute favorites and necessities. You want the right balance of things for the size of your space because a space can only hold so much before the energy flow gets blocked and stagnant. Clutter blocks the energy flow in an environment, inhibiting positive energy flow in your life. – Montero Healing Arts

Always keep functionality in mind

Remember that less is more, so keep it simple, and function should always come first. Ideal for smaller spaces, consider mid-century modern furniture with its pleasing contours and soft, tapered, generally rounded edges. Steer away from furniture with points as the points cast poison arrows at those in front of them. Paint your walls in a single, light color as this creates a sense of expanse. – ZenSpot Institute

Distinguish a beginning and end with your work from home setup

If you have a small apartment or studio with an open floor plan and you’re working from home, place a simple shoji screen in front of your desk to close the door on your work for the day. Use soft lighting in other areas of the apartment to draw attention away from the work area. – Awakened Home

Fill your new apartment with items you love and bring you the most joy

The most important idea to remember in Feng Shui is that you must love and feel comfortable with your surroundings. Love conquers all. The most important rules in Feng Shui are 1) get rid of clutter, 2) only have what you use, need, or want, and 3) surround yourself with what you love, what makes you feel comfortable, and what brings you happiness. – Dianne Lawson

Maintain the balance of Yin and Yang throughout your apartment

Keep the balance of Yin and Yang in the entire apartment rather than in each defined space or room. Yin and Yang must be equally present as they are inseparable forces. Focus on balancing the main rooms as follows: the bedroom is Yin, (passive energy is black) water, and calm. Try incorporating artwork with the water element or blue hues. The kitchen and living room are Yang, (active energy is white) fire, and, energetic. Use bright colors and plants to activate this element. – Landolac Designs

Focus on the layout of your apartment and arrange rooms, so they align with their purpose

When done properly, Feng Shui can transform your life by harnessing the prevailing energies in the physical environment to suit you, your life goals, and your lifestyle. Ideally, a Feng Shui master would assist you in finding the best apartment block for you and then the best available apartment in that block. But if you already live in your apartment or own your home, we can still achieve transformative results. It is all about the layout of your apartment and ensuring the rooms are fit for purpose and set up in the best possible way. A properly qualified Feng Shui master can help you arrange your rooms and align your activities such as work, sleep, exercise, and rest to make the best use of the prevailing energies in your apartment or studio. – Master Boon of Feng Shui with Master Boon

Clean and minimal spaces allow for abundance

When you think of a large and wealthy home, you soon realize that there’s room for abundance, meaning that all surfaces, like drawer tops, tables, etc. only have a few items on them and no shoes or coats are visible in the entryway. So get organized, declutter every horizontal surface, and let the abundance of Chi flow in now that you’ll have the room for it. And don’t forget fresh flowers. – Healing with Heli

Thoughtfully decorate your home

The magic ingredients to making a small apartment look spacious are to place your intention on decluttering and allowing for a vibrant flow of energy to circulate throughout. To achieve that, avoid decorating with small objects spread around and be sure to dedicate areas where functionality blends with themed decor. Leave space between those areas for the Qi to circulate smoothly and choose a wall color that exudes a personal message to your apartment, whether it is serene, minimalistic, or exuberant. Then accessorize your space with non-angular furniture wherever possible and harmonizing colors. – Chez Feng Shui

Use the Bagua Map to Feng Shui your apartment

Lay the Bagua Map at your apartment door, aligning the Career gua to your doorway, to discover where the specific guas are. Next, think about what you’d most like to change in your life. Are you trying to attract love? If yes, enhance the Love & Marriage gua with pairs of things such as matching candleholders, two bird figurines (like lovebirds), or a picture of a couple that captures the love you’d like to manifest. If love and marriage are in your bedroom (and even if it isn’t), remember your bedroom should be a serene sanctuary for rest and romance only. – Feng Shui Made Simple

A Rare Planetary Alignment Is About to Happen. Here’s How You Can See It

PETER DOCKRILL

12 APRIL 2022

Seeing the planets of the Solar System aligned in a neat line is one of many awe-inspiring stargazing experiences we can get – and this month you could have a chance to see it with your own eyes.

From the middle of the month, when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, you’ll be able to see Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter all lined up in an almost-perfect planetary alignment in the pre-dawn sky.

The alignment starts to form from around April 17, but will be at its most viewable on the morning of April 20. To see the alignment from the US, you’ll need to get up before sunrise on the morning of April 20, and look towards the east.

The April 20 alignment. (Stellarium)

There, on the horizon, provided viewing conditions are good, you should be able to make out all four planets aligned in a celestial row, although as some have pointed out, Jupiter’s proximity to the horizon could make it a bit harder to make out.

As keen stargazers likely already know, Saturn, Mars, and Venus have actually been clustering together since late March, but it won’t be until mid-April that Jupiter will join the party.

A few days later – on around April 23 – the alignment is set to become even more spectacular, with the Moon lining up to join the party on the right.

What is your greatest fear or biggest question about 2022? Astrologer, Dianne Lawson shares with Brandaleen what to expect for 2022 and beyond and a Revolution is the mix. We are experiencing something we haven’t for over 250 years! Listen in to see what the planets have aligned for us so that you can be in the know for changes in your life.

Effective March 20, 2022, all of my one-hour astrology and Feng Shui services are $150. If you would like for me to record our session and mail you a CD or email you the recording, it is an additional $10. ($15 extra to mail the CD outside of the USA.)

BE ALERT FOR ZODIACAL LIGHT: The season for Zodiacal Light has begun. In dark sky sites around the world, people are noticing a pale triangle of light lancing into the night sky. After centuries of wondering, astronomers have only recently learned that it comes from Mars. Next week will bring of the best displays of the year. Find out more on today’s edition of Spaceweather.com.

Talking ‘bout a revolution!

Three enormously important revolutions about 250 years apart brought radical changes. From 1517 through 1532 brought the Protestant Reformation and increased use of the printing press. From 1775 through 1783 brought the American Revolution. Besides being the birth of democracy, it was also the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. We are now in the midst of a third period of great change, the Current Revolution, which will last for the next few years.

We are in an extremely significant time for the USA. The country is undergoing its Pluto Return this year, 2022. Because Pluto moves so slowly, the period of the country’s Pluto Return will take a few years on either side of the exact time. We have been in the return period for a few years, and I am sure that you can tell that major changes are taking place in the USA. Let me break it down into its components and then, at the end of this article, I will explain what it means for us.

A Pluto Return is when Pluto goes through the signs of the zodiac and returns to the exact same degree it was at a country’s birth. When our country was born, Pluto was at 27 degrees of Capricorn. This year, Pluto is again at 27 degrees of Capricorn. It takes about 248 years for Pluto to return to the same place it was before, so this is a rare occurrence.

Astrologers and historians don’t agree on the exact moment of the USA’s birth, but all of the birth charts for July 4 1776 for the country have Pluto at 27 degrees of Capricorn.

(For the entire decade of the 1980s, I was writing nonstop for astrology magazines. I used the Gemini Rising, July 4, 1776, chart for the USA to make my yearly forecasts for the country. In this chart, Pluto is in the country’s ninth house which corresponds with foreign countries, foreigners, higher education, beliefs and religions.)

Pluto corresponds with birth, death, rebirth, regeneration, power and the people who have power, money, scandals, corruption, destruction, volcanoes and war. Secrets come to light.

Pluto is in the sign Capricorn. Capricorn corresponds with structure, infrastructure, careers, politics and the environment.

What this all means is that we are in a period of radical change, social unrest and restructuring our country. In the two previous revolutions, people demanded more control of their lives. The previous power structures were changed. That is happening again.

People are taking charge of their own finances and many have changed their work during the pandemic. In the Great Resignation, thirty-three million Americans quit their jobs in 2021 and the trend is still going on. People are buying Bitcoin. The ways people are spending their money have drastically changed. Malls close down and people buy online.

Social unrest will continue with people wanting more control over their lives. How the USA will come out of this revolution depends upon how it measures up to the ideals and beliefs that it was founded on in 1776. We need to be taking care of the structures of this country, and that includes principles, as well as infrastructure. We also need to be taking care of our environment.

February 20, 2022

Now through April 5, 2022 is good astrological weather for you to focus and get to work to get what you want in terms of love, relationships, social life, harmony, money, earnings, possessions and beauty.

Astrology is like a weather forecast.

Meteorologists tell us when it might be a good day to go out and play in the sun or when it might be a good day to build a snowman. It is up to us whether we choose to go outside on those days or stay inside curled up with a good book or binge watch TV.

Astrologers tell us about the astrological weather. It is up to us whether we choose to use astrological forecasts or not.

Today, Venus and Mars are in the exact same degree of the zodiac and they will remain close to each other in the sky until April 5, 2022. They are in the sign of Capricorn, and Mars is exalted in Capricorn. When a planet is exalted in a sign, it means it works well in a sign. Mars in Capricorn is focused to reach his goals. This is great planetary timing to use to enhance our relationships, social life, money and possessions.

Venus is connected with love, relationships, social life, harmony, money, earnings, possessions and beauty.

Mars is connected with force, drive, energy and initiative.

Putting Venus and Mars together means it is a good time to take the initiative and use positive, focused energy to get what you want in relationships, money and possessions. It’s also a good time to be creating beauty and harmony in your life, especially if you are an artist.

I was up before dawn today and saw Venus shining brightly and beautifully in the southeastern sky. She can’t miss her. She is the largest object in our sky, after the Sun and the Moon. Mars was nearby. It is worth a trip outside to see.

Magazine Reviews of book

Famed astrologer Michael Munkasey in the prestigious National Council for Geocosmic Research, Inc. published a book review in its Winter 2018 issue.

This is a well-done, easy to read, book that focuses on the importance of the fifth and seventh astrological houses and their role in human relationships. Geared for a beginner or novice, or even a student within their early years of studying astrology, Ms. Lawson gently takes the reader through her unique approach to understanding relationships. The book’s nine chapters are laid out in a logical sequence, and with sufficient detail, so that even a person with only a bit of astrological knowledge or study can gain benefit and usefulness from this work.

As Ms. Lawson states in her opening commentary: “The most frequently asked questions to me as an astrologer have always revolved around relationships. How do I find someone? … How can I solve problems in my relationships?”

Mensa Bulletin the Magazine of American Mensa, November/December 2018 issue, and the January 2019 Mension Newsletter that went out to MidAmerica Mensans, published the following book review.

Dianne Y. Lawson, a multi-published author, has been an astrologer since 1973. She gives a quick summary on how astrology works, including how to understand birth charts, the influence of the planets, and the signs of the zodiac.

As you might expect, the ancient art of astrology is fairly complicated, but Lawson assures us that it can help you find a partner, recognize red flags in a relationship, understand your partner, keep love in your marriage, and understand and improve your sex life. Visit www.DianneLawson.com.

Debra Ann Clement is a well-known and highly regarded astrologer. I was honored to be on her show. She told me personally that she thought my book was, “one of the best astrology books I have read,” and “it was well organized, very well written, gave sound advice and was extremely helpful.”

Maria DeSimone is a phenomenal astrologer. There is a reason why she has close to 300,000 subscribers in a short time. I loved being on her show talking about my new book, as Maria is knowledgeable, fun, enthusiastic and affirming. I love her for a whole bunch of reasons, including the fact that she read my book, loved it and said reading it literally gave her chills.

Anthony S. Picco is a wonderful astrologer and podcast host. I was on his podcast talking about my book and had a great time. This is the review he gave for my book:

As a professional astrologer, I always look at astrology books on relationships as a way for many people to make a quick buck. Everyone wants to know all about love. But this one is so much more. Dianne Lawson has written a book that takes a deeper look at relationships, and clearly guides the reader through just enough astrology so they can put two and two together and make their own conclusions.

And this isn’t a quick connection book. Ms. Lawson takes us into what makes a relationship tick, and where to look for the indicators of how a relationship could work, where to look for potential difficulties, and how to cope with and process the rough patches we all have.

You don’t need to know any astrology to use this book, because she is an excellent teacher, and offers enough of the basics so a reader can work with astrology easily. However, if you are a student of astrology or even an experienced astrologer, this is also a good book to get a handle on how to examine a natal chart for relationship potentials. As well as I know astrology, there were points and nuances that added more understanding even after all my years of experience.

Well worth reading. I look forward to anything Ms. Lawson writes in the future.

This is a good book. It’s NOT the kind of book that will tell you Scorpio is compatible with Cancer but not with Leo, or that you should look for someone whose Sun is conjunct your Moon.What it DOES do is tell you what kind of person would be best suited to you. For instance, I have 7th-house ruler Mars in the 5th house and I seem to attract women with planets (especially Sun, Moon, Mars) in Aries and some of my ex-girlfriends have been athletic as well.

It’s also a great time to meditate on what we really want in life and make necessary changes, so that we can achieve them. Many people set their intentions around the time of a New Moon, and a Solar Eclipse is a New Moon on steroids. Astrologers disagree with how long the effects of eclipses last, but I think they start before the eclipse and have an effect for a year after the eclipse.

This eclipse is in Sagittarius, which is optimistic and expansive. It helps us have accelerated growth in our perceptions and beliefs. For the next 12 months, it is a time to be open minded and release old ideas. Watch for opportunities to grab.

If you know your individual birth chart, see where 12 degrees of Sagittarius is. That is the degree of this eclipse. The house that the eclipse lands in will give you more information about where changes will occur in your life. The eclipse is more important to you if it is within five degrees of a planet or other important point in your individual birth chart.

I always include solar eclipses when I talk about your individual yearly forecast. Eclipses are just a small part of what we talk about, but they do have an effect upon you. Yearly charts start the day we talk and go through the next twelve months. You can call me at 785.232.2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com to schedule your yearly chart.

Blood Moon Eclipse

Astronomy

An exceptionally long-lasting eclipse happens in the early morning hours of November 19, 2021. It will be visible over the Americas, Northern Europe, Eastern Asia, Australia and Pacific. It will cover 97 percent of the Moon and be visible for three hours, 28 minutes. The eclipse begins 12:02 a.m. Central Time, and ends 6:03 a.m. Central Time. The maximum eclipse is 3:02 a.m. It should be a lovely sight with the Moon turning blood red and is worth waking up early to see.

Astrology

Eclipses often show us what we need to be looking at and paying attention to in our lives. Things that have been hidden may come to light and have to be dealt with. If something in our lives is not the way we want it, eclipses help us take action to deal with them. Eclipses can indicate endings, turning points and revelations.

Astrologers differ widely as to how long they think the effects of lunar eclipses last, but I think they last about two weeks before and two weeks after the eclipse. Since lunar eclipses always happen at the full moon, they are a time of heightened emotions. Some people have problems sleeping. We can use this time to make needed changes in our lives.

The Leonids are here!

The Leonid meteor shower can be seen all month of November 2021, but will peak the night of November 17 and the morning of November 18. You can usually see more meteors after midnight when the earth in turning into the meteors. Be in the darkest sky you can.

The forgotten planets

Why should Mars, Jupiter and Saturn get all the attention?

In astrology, Uranus is the planet that corresponds with the unusual, the unexpected, the maverick, the eccentric, chaos and the weird. In astronomy, Uranus was chaotic in its early history. It is the only planet that is weird and spins on its side. It is also the only planet that has a Greek name. All of the other planets have Roman names.

In astrology, Neptune is the planet that corresponds with mystery, the hidden, confusion and cloudiness. In astronomy, Neptune is the only planet that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is the only one that is hidden to us unless we use telescopes. Neptune is the only planet that has a moon that is confused and goes backwards in relationship to the other moons. And Neptune is covered with clouds.

I found the following from Mensa Weekly Brainwave and especially like the video of the two men talking about the forgotten planets. For those of you have like other science subjects scroll down and read more after the video about the planets.

Copy and paste the following: www.cosmos.nautil.us/feature/718/the-forgotten-planets

August 15, 2021

Saturn and Neptune are in signs that they rule.

What that means for the world and what that means for you.

A few days earlier I wrote that the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all in the signs that they rule this month. When planets are in signs that they rule, they are more powerful, feel at home and work well. We can take advantage of the planets being in signs they rule, as we will be going with the flow of the universe.

A few days ago I wrote about what it means that the Sun and Mercury were in signs they rule and how we can take advantage of that. You can read what I wrote about that if you go to http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/ and scroll down one post.

Today I will explain what Saturn and Neptune being in their own signs means and how we can use that energy. Because Saturn and Neptune are distant from the Sun and take longer to go through the signs of the zodiac than the inner planets do, their influence appears to work more slowly.

Saturn will be in the sign Aquarius through March 7, 2023. Saturn is hard-working, structured and disciplined. Aquarius has a correspondence with technology. The last time Saturn was in Aquarius, the World Wide Web was invented. Expect new advanced technology that will change the world while Saturn is again in Aquarius.

This planetary placement can help us work hard toward our goals. Saturn in Aquarius can help us have a laser-like focus instead of a shotgun approach to obtaining what we want. This position helps us simplify and prioritize quality over quality.

Neptune went into the sign of Pisces on February 3, 2012 and it will remain there until January 26, 2026. This is a subtle, long-term influence over the world. We will see a greater emphasis on spirituality and art during these years. Children born during this time will be intuitive, psychic, imaginative, creative and very loving.

Neptune and Pisces both are otherworldly and spiritual. This is a great time to pay attention to our intuition, develop psychic abilities, be creative, use our artistic abilities, spend time with nature and develop a stronger connection with God.

When I provide yearly forecasts, I always look at where all the planets are and how they interact in individuals’ charts, plus a whole lot more. Please let me know if you are interested in your individualized yearly forecast.

As always, going with the flow of life is easier than ignoring it. Our lives are built on the choices we make.

RARE NAKED-EYE NOVA: Taking astronomers by surprise, white dwarf star RS Oph exploded two days ago, producing a rare naked-eye nova. The dwarf star is cannibalizing a nearby red giant, using the star’s outer layers as fuel for the blast. You can see it in the southern sky after sunset. FULL STORY.

A PERSEID METEOR AND SPRITES: It’s late summer. Powerful thunderstorms are crawling across the US-Mexico border. At the same time, specks of dust from Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle are peppering Earth’s atmosphere. The stage is set for close encounters like this:

Astronomer Stephen Hummel took the picture from the McDonald Observatory in Texas. “I was photographing sprites on Aug. 8th when this Perseid meteor appeared,” he says. “The southern border has been very stormy this past week. In the past two nights alone I’ve photographed more than 50 TLEs. This capture stood out because of the Perseid.”

This won’t be the last time a Perseid photobombs a bunch of sprites. The meteor shower is expected to peak on the nights of Aug. 11th through 13th as Earth passes the core of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle’s debris zone. Meanwhile, the weather forecast calls for more storms in the hot desert southwest. Photographers, point your cameras just above the cloudtops.

Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are in signs they rule

The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all in the signs that they rule this month. When planets are in signs that they rule it means that they are more powerful, feel at home, work well and have a correspondence to the sign. We should take advantage of the planets being in the signs they rule, as we can use the energies that they symbolize to achieve more of what we want in life.

Today I will talk about the Sun and Mercury. Watch in a few days and I will discuss Saturn and Neptune.

The Sun is in the sign of the zodiac Leo and will be there until August 22, 2021. Both the Sun and Leo have to do with confidence, fun, entertainment, children and creativity. Now is the time to do things that require confidence. It is also a great time to have fun and be entertained. The Sun is always in Leo at this time of year and it is most often the time of year that people go on vacation. Get out in the sun and have fun with children. Creative folks should plan on using this time creating.

Mercury will move into the sign of the zodiac Virgo on August 11, 2021 where it will remain until August 30, 2021. Both Mercury and Virgo have to do with work, health and daily routine. We can work more efficiently, especially with detailed work. Now is a great time to focus on all health matters, especially diet and exercise. Planning our daily routines now can help us have the fun that the Sun wants, as well as do the work that Mercury wants.

Whether playing or working, it is helpful to coordinate with the flow of the universe. It helps to flow with the tide, rather than to try to swim against it.

Six planets retrograde the summer of 2021!

Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Neptune, and Pluto are all retrograde now through the summer and early fall. Uranus joins them and becomes retrograde August 20 and will continue to be retrograde until January 17, 2022.

Retrograde planets happen often and are when planets appear to be moving backward through the signs of the zodiac, based upon the relative positions of them and the earth. What is unusual is to have this many happen at once.

This is no cause for alarm. Retrograde planets are just part of the natural order of ebb and flow. They indicate that it is a time for reflection and can be used for our advantage.

A retrograde Jupiter means it is a time to be thoughtful and think about what our core beliefs are and if we are living in ways that reflect them. This is not a time to be foolhardy or take unnecessary risks.

A retrograde Saturn is a good time to take time to have structures and plans in place to help us get the most out of life. Are we just haphazardly going through life, being pushed and pulled every which way, or are our lives disciplined in ways that help us reach our goals?

A retrograde Chiron is good for healing old hurts. Chiron teaches us that our greatest hurts can be used to make us stronger and to be able to heal ourselves and others. (This is what Wikipedia says about Chiron: “Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet.” Chiron does not display typical attributes of a planet or a comet and its classification has changed several times.)

A retrograde Neptune means we need to see people the way they really are and not the way we want them to be. Neptune can indicate fuzzy thinking and looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. It may be a good time to pay attention to what people do, not what they say. It is a good time to ask other people–—your family members, friends and astrologer their opinions. They may be able to help you see what is really going on.

A retrograde Pluto is great for healing, transformation, being in therapies for body, mind and emotions, releasing resentments and being willing to forgive self and others.

A retrograde Uranus helps us look at situations and change them if they are not meeting our needs. The more we are able to adapt and accept changes, the better our lives will be.

Spirit, Stars and the Supernatural

https://mojavebeachproductions.com/

Podcast Excursions guest, Cheryl Schroeder, remembers choosing to be born to a Native American couple never realizing the father would be an alcoholic, the mother a dysfunctional and indifferent parent, and her grandfather a cruel and physically abusive child molester. Despite abject poverty and mistreatment, Cheryl tells of her deep connection to a God she knows as pure Love. Not the death of her grandchild nor the murder of her beloved younger sister has caused that faith to waiver.

Co-hosts, Mojave Beach Productions producer, Esther Luttrell, and astrologer-author Dianne Lawson, join Cheryl in a discussion on the ways in which Spirit ties into planets, stars and the supernatural.

Mercury Retrograde is fast approaching, and we are in its shadow now. With a little preparation, you can help alleviate possible problems and even put these periods to good use.

Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus

Many astrologers think that Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus is the most influential astrological event of the year. It lasts throughout all of 2021.

It is probably the hardest configuration for me to write about, and I have been writing about astrology since 1980. The reason it is so hard to write about is because it is full of surprises, unexpected events, and contradictions.

This can be a good placement if we are disciplined in working towards our goals. This isn’t always easy but can have good, long-lasting results.

The square aspect (when planets are about 90 degrees from each other) is an aspect of friction, challenge and tension. It can bring about needed changes because it also supplies drive and energy.

Putting Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus together is a mass of contractions. I think during 2021 the sense of what we value is being challenged.

We have a collective sense of responsibility towards others.

Society has big changes in how we view others, how we spend our money and take care of the earth.

Our tasks are learning to accept others who are not like us and who do not share our views.

We need to be willing to make needed changes to keep up with the times, while keeping our important values.

If you like surprises and unexpected events, you will not be disappointed with 2021.

Join us live or listen later! See you then! Namaste…

February 2021

Can you feel the shift in the world? 2020 had a heavy Capricorn influence and during 2021 we have more of an Aquarian influence. The shift started in December 2020 when Jupiter and Saturn left Capricorn and entered Aquarius. Aquarius is an air sign and air corresponds with communication, relationships and information. People may be feeling more light-hearted and expansive than they did when Jupiter and Saturn were in the earth sign Capricorn.

From February 1 to February 17, 2021, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and the asteroid Pallas are all in Aquarius. And, on February 10 and 11, 2021, the Moon is in Aquarius, also. The Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th and Venus moves into Pisces on the 20th, but we will still have Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. This is a huge number of the lights and planets in one sign during this month.

Aquarius is all about freedom, equalitarianism, unpredictability, disruptions and independence. It is free-spirited, humanitarian and innovative. It is also progressive and idealistic.

Astrology is about birth or new beginnings of things. This month of February 2021, we have a tremendous amount of astrological influence in the sign of Aquarius, signifying the birth of many Aquarian principles. We won’t see it starting on any certain day, but looking back later, we can see the beginnings of Aquarian ways of being.

We saw the effects of what happened last year when so many planets were all in one sign, the sign of Capricorn. The world started having major changes. I wrote about it in my blog last year, and if you want to read what I wrote, you can go to http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/ and scroll back to see.

Be sure and watch for more communication from me soon, as I will be explaining a planetary configuration this year that most astrologers think is of even more importance than all these lights and planets in Aquarius—Saturn square Uranus.

How and when will Mercury Retrograde affect you in 2021?

Is the bad reputation of Mercury Retrograde deserved? That may depend on where your car breaks down, how badly your travel plans are disrupted, how long you wait at the wrong restaurant or how much you need your computer. With a little preparation, you can help alleviate possible problems and even put these periods to good use.

NASA: You’re about to get a rare chance to spot elusive planet Uranus

Uranus is usually faint, but the moon and Mars will help guide your eyes on Jan. 20.

Jokes aside, Uranus isn’t known as one of the most glamorous planets, but it’s an underappreciated gem. The ice giant has a lovely blue color and sneaky rings. While our eyes are often drawn to brighter planets like Mars and Jupiter in the night sky, Jan. 20 will give us a decent shot at spotting elusive Uranus.

You’ll need binoculars or a telescope to aid in your hunt for Uranus, but NASA says Jan. 20 represents an “easy opportunity” to spot it.

Wait for the sun to go down and then look for the crescent moon a couple of hours after dark. From the moon, look up and find Mars, which has a reddish-orange glow. “Scan your way over from Mars toward the moon, and you should be able to find the faint, bluish disk of Uranus,” NASA says.

While you’re gazing into the blue of Uranus, be thankful you’re at a far distance from the planet. As it turns out, it smells like farts and rotten eggs thanks to hydrogen sulfide gas in its clouds. But don’t put up a stink. Grab your binoculars and enjoy this celestial treat. From CNET

January 2021

Mars corresponds with anger, violence, and aggression, Uranus corresponds with unpredictability, and Eris corresponds with chaos, discord and disorder. These three are close to each other in the sky called a conjunction. This conjunction intensifies the effects of the points close together.

Saturn corresponds with karma and lessons to be learned, and Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches. These two planets are in a challenging and stressful square to Mars, Uranus and Eris. If you have been watching the news or your Facebook feed, you have already seen the results of this hard planetary configuration.

This is a simplistic view of January 2021 as other planets are continually moving around, but these are the most important planetary movements of January 2021. We need to keep ourselves safe and stay away from troublesome situations and people. I am trying to not get caught up in arguing. That does not mean that I have not called my senators and representative and expressed my views.

One of my sisters-in-law sent us a handmade Thanksgiving card. On the cover part of what she wrote included these words…”I want to celebrate with all people…” and “Let’s be thankful for our world and all people—like us or not!” I am keeping this card on the top of my desk where I can see it every day to remind myself of one of my core beliefs–to love one another.

These days it is easy to get caught up in anger. I am trying to learn to respond to others with tolerance and to channel all this energy into getting important goals completed.

The Great Conjunction in Aquarius is finally here!

I hope you have been watching the southwestern sky immediately after sunset for the last few nights. Jupiter and Saturn are extremely close together in the sign Aquarius and will be at their closest on December 21, 2020. Some sites have erroneously said that the two planets will look as one. That is not true, but what is true is that I have never seen planets that close together and I have been looking at things in the sky for most of my life. After December 21 they will slowly move apart. I will still be watching as this happens.

Astrologers have been waiting for this conjunction as it will bring a shift in energies to the earth. Many astrologers have been saying that this is the most important planetary configuration of not only the year, but for hundreds of years to come.

Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions happen about every 20 years. The conjunctions of these two planets tend to stay in each of the elements of the zodiac—fire, earth, air and water—for about 200 years.

For about the last 200 years since 1802 (with a stay in air in 1980 and 1981) this conjunction has been in earth signs. Earth signs are materialistic, money-making, building and security conscious. This 200-year period included the industrial revolution and using the materials of the earth-trees, land, oil, gas and metals–without much regard for the consequences.

The December 21, 2020 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs in an air sign, where these conjunctions will continue to occur until 2219, with one stay in water in 2159. Air symbolizes education, communication, travel, mental processes, relationships and information. All of these will become more and more important and will be dramatically changing from what they are today. Air is more light-hearted and expansive than earth.

The air element connects with our environment and our neighborhoods. It connects us to each other in relationships. It connects us to humanity as a whole.

This, of course, is not going to happen overnight, but we can feel the shift of people caring more about people than things.

Jupiter and Saturn, along with Pluto, have been in Capricorn for most of 2020. Capricorn can be many things, but can be lonely, isolationist, and depressed. It also is restrictive and helps us pare down to the essentials. Aquarius is more free-spirited, humanitarian, unrestricted and innovative. Many astrologers have eagerly looked forward to this conjunction, as the big Capricorn conjunction I have written so much about this year—Pluto, as well as Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn– is now gone. If you want to be reminded about what I have been writing about the Capricorn conjunction, you may want to scroll back and read my blog, http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/.

People with Aquarius strongly in their charts, such as Aquarius Sun, Moon or Ascendant may feel easier and more comfortable with this new energy than they did with the Capricorn big conjunction during most of 2020. All of us may feel freer to be ourselves.

December 14, 2020

Be sure and watch the sky right after sunset on December 16. Jupiter is very close to Saturn and will be getting closer and closer to each other until December 21. What makes December 16 special is that the crescent Moon will be just below the two planets, making a beautiful sight.

December 13, 2020

THE GREAT CONJUNCTION OF JUPITER & SATURN: It’s only 9 days away– The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. The two giant planets are converging for their finest naked-eye pairing in nearly 800 years.

On Dec. 21st, the two planets will lie just 0.1 degrees apart. That’s so close, some people will perceive them as a single brilliant star. Viewed through binoculars or a small telescope, ringed Saturn will appear as close to Jupiter as some of Jupiter’s moons. Other dates of special interest include Dec. 16th and 17th when the crescent Moon briefly joins the conjunction. Look west at sunset and enjoy the show! The above is from Spaceweather.com.

We can watch nightly as the two planets get closer and closer to each other in our nighttime sky. You can tell them from stars as stars twinkle and planets shine. The above is about the astronomy of this conjunction.

I have been getting lots of questions about the astrology of this conjunction and what it will mean for us. I will be sharing my ideas about it soon. Watch for it.

December 12, 2020

GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: The Geminid meteor shower is about to peak. On Sunday night-Monday morning (Dec. 13/14), debris from “rock comet” 3200 Phaethon will fly out of the constellation Gemini, producing what many forecasters believe will be the best meteor display of 2020. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for sky maps and observing tips.

Have you had any extraordinary experiences???

I started writing a book about extraordinary coincidences. Many people told me about extraordinary coincidences in their own lives, but they also told me about other amazing happenings. They told me of communications with people at the exact moment of people’s deaths or communications with people who had already passed. People also told me of encounters with ghosts, angels and other otherworldly beings. Two people told me of their astro-twins (people born close to when they were born who have had uncanny similarities and coincidences in their lives.) Lots of people told me of psychic abilities, especially young children’s. I am astonished at how frequent these events happen to people, but in our society we don’t talk about them much.

My book morphed into Extraordinary Experiences and if you have had any of the above experiences or any other how-in-the-heck-did-that-happen? or what-in-the-heck-was-that? or any experience that you consider extraordinary, inexplicable or just plain weird, please let me know.

You can write it up yourself or call me and dictate it to me over the phone. Thanks. Dianne 785-232-2836.

PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: The full Moon will lose some of its luster on early Monday morning, Nov. 30th, when a shadow sweeps across the lunar disk. It’s a penumbral lunar eclipse, Best seen from North American and the Pacific Ocean (including Hawaii)

A penumbral eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the pale outskirts of Earth’s shadow (the “penumbra”). It is much less dramatic than a total lunar eclipse. In fact, when observers are not alerted beforehand, they sometimes do not realize an eclipse is underway.

Eclipse expert Fred Espenak, formerly of NASA, offers these observing tips: “The beginning and end of a penumbral eclipse are not visible to the eye. No shading can be detected until about 2/3 of the Moon’s disk is immersed in the penumbra. This would place the period of eclipse visibility within +/- 30 minutes of greatest eclipse (from about 09:10 to 10:10 UT or 1:10 am to 2:10 am PST).”

At maximum eclipse (9:43 UT or 1:43 am PST) there will be a clear gradient of light and shadow across the lunar disk. From Spaceweather.com.

November 28, 2020 is a good time for serious or important conversations, studying and working hard to accomplish long-lasting goals. Use this day to transform areas of your life to create what you want. Hard work on yourself or in your life can bring you good results. This day is also great for getting rid of what you no longer need, be it objects, clutter, negative people or bad habits. Mercury in Scorpio sextiles (is about 60 degrees from) Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.

November 29 and 30, 2020 is a good time for communication, study, obtaining knowledge and expanding your horizons. Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn.

December 1, 2020 is a good time to work hard and achieve good results. This is a good day to study and have serious conversations with people. Mercury in Scorpio sextiles Saturn in Capricorn.

Through November 28, 2020

Mercury Quincunx Mars Through November 28, 2020. Guard against impulsive words and deeds. Don’t be like my family going after geocaches high up in trees and in other difficult terrain. I didn’t know if I was going to make it home literally in one piece yesterday.

November 11, 2020 through November 20, 2020

Avoid confrontation and avoid talking about touchy subjects November 11, 2020 through November 20, 2020. Mercury, the planet of communication, is in a stressful opposition (about 180 degrees from) Uranus, the erratic planet of unpredictability. We may say what we consider to be factual statements but will be blindsided by how others take what we said. We may have a hard time understanding or accepting others viewpoints and they may not accept our viewpoints, either. This is a good time for us to learn to find commonalities with others instead of differences.

Venus, the planet of love, social life, money and possessions is in a challenging square (about 90 degrees from) Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto November 11, 2020 through November 20, 2020. Jupiter enlarges, Saturn restricts and Pluto intensifies. What this can mean is that we feel lonely and cut off from others. If we feel lonely, we can assess our relationships and make necessary changes to have the kind of relationships we want. This is not a good time to spend lots of money or buy objects that we will be happy with. If we have to buy items, just take the time to make sure you will be happy with the purchase.

My forecast for the rest of 2020 into 2021

Because people keep asking me the same questions over and over, I am sending this to you. I have talked about all of these before and you can find what I have said previously on my Blog, http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/, or on my Astrology Podcasts and More page, http://diannelawson.com/media-2/, on my website. I started talking about the huge Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto conjunction early in the year. I called my financial planner at the end of 2019 to make changes in my IRAs and Roth IRA. I have already talked about the astrology of what I see, so will just talk about the forecast without any astrology jargon.

*The corona virus gets worse over the winter and will last much longer than we would like.

*The world enters a world-wide depression.

*Biden wins the presidency.

*Trump loses the presidency but does something unexpected that I cannot figure out.

*Fires in the west continuing.

*Disagreements and discord between different factions intensify.

*The world enters a new period of being more just and more inclusive.

Watch for what I will be writing in a few days about Jupiter and Saturn leaving Capricorn and being in the same degree of Aquarius in December. Many astrologers think it is the most important aspect of next year and for many years to come. Many see it as the beginning of a long-term period of being less concerned about material matters and more concerned about people–the beginning of a new and more humanitarian age.

THE ORIONIDS HAVE ARRIVED: Earth has entered a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. In recent nights, sky watchers have noted an uptick in meteors flying out of the constellation Orion. Orionid meteor counts are highest just before dawn. Forecasters expect this year’s Orionid shower to peak on Wednesday morning, Oct 21st, with as many as 20 meteors per hour. Set your alarm for dawn and enjoy the show. From Spaceweather.com.

Today, October 14, 2020 marks the day that Mercury goes in Retrograde motion, where it stays until November 3, 2020. It is a time to guard against miscommunication and transportation mishaps and keep our machines in good working order. We should always pay attention to things like this, but under Mercury Retrograde, we may not be as careful mentally.

MOON-MARS CONJUNCTION TONIGHT: Don’t miss this. Tonight, the Harvest Moon and Mars are in conjunction, less than 1 degree apart for some observers. The Moon is nearly full and red Mars is only days away from its closest approach to Earth, making the conjunction extra bright and beautiful. Check Spaceweather.com for sky maps and observing tips.

October 2, 2020

In the midst of all the bad news this year is a very nice planetary configuration that gives us opportunities to have heightened intuition, expanded creativity, forgiveness, kindness, justice, generosity and wisdom.

Now through October 30, 2020, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism, opportunity, good fortune, generosity and religion, and Neptune, the planet of intuition, connection to God, the spirit world, spirituality and creativity are in an easy, nice sextile (about 60 degrees) to each other. Sextiles are positive, but we must take the opportunities offered.

The best ways to work with this aspect is to connect with God and nature, listen to your intuition and express yourself creatively.

Guard against being overly optimistic and looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Even with a good aspect, Jupiter can be lawless, self-indulgent and extreme. Neptune can be deceiving, including self-deceiving.

The astrology of October 2020

There were reasons why I called my financial planner at the end of 2019 and talked to him about what I saw as a strong need to protest my assets during 2020 and 2021. There were reasons why I harassed over and over again my son and my daughter who are also astrologers about what they thought 2020 would bring to the world and to me.

I have been writing and talking for a long time about what I saw was happening astrologically during 2020. If you want to go back and see what I have been writing, you can go to the blog on my website, www.DianneLawson.com/blog-2/, and scroll down through the entries.

For a very brief synopsis of what I have written about this period:

1.) Mars, the planet of war, fires, energy, aggression, anger, initiative and impulsivity is right on top of Eris, the dwarf planet of discord and chaos.

2.) Mars and Eris square (are about 90 degrees from) Pluto, the God of the underworld, elimination, big business, banking, stocks and bonds, real estate, governments, volcanoes, earthquakes, weapons of mass destruction, disasters, birth, death, transformation and healing.

3.) Mars and Eris square Saturn. Mars wants what it wants now. Saturn wants to be conservative and wait. Add all that together and we have chaos, discord and disorder.

Unfortunately, I do not see this intensity letting up during the month of October, only getting worse, in part, because the Sun will be in a stressful opposition (about 180 degrees to) Mars and Eris and in a challenging square (about 90 degrees to) Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.

We are in stressful times right now and I would be lying if I said anything else. However, some people are thriving this year and I want you to thrive, also. That is why I wrote Top 5 tips to navigate harsh astrological conditions of the rest of the year. Go to my blog, www.DianneLawson.com/blog-2/, and scroll down to August 28, 2020 and you can read these helpful tips.

Always remember that everything in astrology can be used positively or negatively. And remember that there are also always positive astrology configurations going on at any one time.

Top 5 tips to navigate harsh astrological conditions of the rest of the year

I have been writing about the astrological signatures of 2020 since September 2019. I have also been worried about 2020 for longer than that. Well, 2020 has arrived and it has been challenging. I have written about the strength of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto close to each other in Capricorn

As, I am sure you can feel, Mars and dwarf planet Eris have been in Aries and have been and will continue to be squaring (about 90 degrees from) those planets in Capricorn through the rest of the year. This is a huge amount of planetary energy. A square can be challenging even among easy planets and Mars and Eris are not easy to deal with.

Mars and Eris square Jupiter can enlarge anger, aggression, impulsiveness and rebelliousness.

Mars and Eris square Saturn can be wanting to push forward, but feeling like something holds you back. It is often procrastination. It can feel difficult to achieve objectives.

Mars and Eris square Pluto can be explosive anger, aggression and extreme weather—hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes and firestorms.

Everything, even challenging astrological alignments, can be used for good, if we consciously use that planetary energy towards achieving our goals.

As you know, 2020 and 2021 are years of a transition period when problems will come to the surface. This applies to the world as a whole, but also to individuals.

Call me at 785.232.2836 or email me at this email address if you would like to hear your individualized astrology forecast for the next twelve months.

Top 5 tips to navigate the rest of 2020

Since Pluto has a correspondence with elimination, and Mars is energy, get rid of what no longer serves you, be it possessions, people, jobs you hate or habits that are holding you back. Nature abhors a vacuum. Getting rid of negative energy of all kinds opens up room for good to enter.
Create habits so that you daily work towards achieving your goals. Any planetary aspect is better than no aspect, and Mars (energy) and Saturn (discipline) in aspect to each other can achieve great success. Stay productive.
Focus on what is most important and do that first. Long lists of tasks to be completed can scatter your energy. Capricorn restricts, which can help with organization, structure and focus. Don’t waste your energy on trivial matters. Limit screen time, watching news. Structure your day and keep to a schedule. Minimize spending to only essentials.
Use Mars energy to be active. Exercise and do hard physical work. It helps alleviate stress. Mars energy can energize you if you channel it wisely. It can also be impulsive and angry. Stay away from people and situations that could erupt into anger.
The planetary antidote for Mars is the soft, emotional Moon. Under stressful Mars aspects we need to nurture ourselves, as well as others. We also need to be gentle with and accepting of others. Support yourself and others. Recognize that just about everyone is having a hard time this year and do what you can to be kind.

Even though this year is hard, many will thrive during it. Remember that unprecedented crises can be unprecedented opportunities. The lotus grows through the mud.

Three challenging astrological alignments

through the rest of the year

Dry lightning storms, fires, a derecho (a land hurricane), hurricanes, pandemic, political unrest, protests and more. Sheez, will 2020 ever end? Several of my relatives who live in California (and I used to live there) had never heard of dry lightning storms before. My brother and my sister were mandatorily evacuated from their homes because of fires, and my daughter whose town is surrounded by fires said that ash is falling on her town, she can’t breathe outside and it looks like Armageddon there. I certainly had never heard of a derecho before. A newspaper headline called it, “A disaster we have never seen.”

What the heck is going on astrologically? It is not pretty, but everything in astrology, as in life, can be used for good or for bad. Be sure and watch for tomorrow’s Top 5 tips to navigate harsh astrological conditions of the rest of the year.

Mars conjoining Eris

Mars, the planet of war, fires, energy, aggression, anger, initiative and impulsivity is right on top of Eris, the dwarf planet of discord and chaos. That pretty much explains it, but those two planets are also squaring Pluto and Saturn.

Mars and Eris square Pluto

The dwarf planet Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos, squares (is about 90 degrees from) the dwarf planet Pluto, the God of the underworld, during 2020 and 2021. Squares between planets are energetic, urging us toward action, and are often challenging. Although this period can be tough to go through, it gives us opportunities to bring issues to the surface to be healed and transformed. Issues come to a head and the tension is released, one way or the other. We have a choice to be uplifted and inspired by possible change or to be stuck in ways that don’t work.

Pluto has a correspondence with elimination, big business, banking, stocks and bonds, real estate, governments, volcanoes, earthquakes, weapons of mass destruction, disasters, birth, death, transformation and healing. When I think of Pluto, I think of a volcano. A volcano erupts, brings to the surface that which was hidden and then the surface is more fertile than it was before. It is a good metaphor for Pluto. It often brings things to the surface that are better brought to light than hidden below. The eruption can be startling but can also be a process for ultimate good.

Ways that are no longer working need to be eliminated. I am expecting, because of this aspect and others that I have already written about, for the world to be in a worldwide deep recession, if not depression. Our country has not been taking care of the most vulnerable citizens and this pandemic is bringing to light the disparities between the wealthiest and the rest of us.

Squares can be challenging, but any aspect between two planets (or dwarf planets) is better than no aspect because then at least we have the opportunity to use that energy to make necessary improvements.

Eris is in Aries, an energetic, assertive and sometimes aggressive sign. Aries wants what it wants now. Pluto is in Capricorn, a sign that has to do with career, structure, discipline. It also has to do with businesses, the economy and governments. Capricorn is patient and cautious. These two signs, Aries and Capricorn, often butt heads.

Mars and Eris square Saturn.

Mars wants what it wants now. Saturn wants to be conservative and wait. Eris is discord and chaos. Add all that into the mix.

Venus, the planet of love, relationships, social life, harmony and beauty conjoins (is about 0 degrees from) the North Node of the Moon, the point of destiny, life lessons and opportunities of soul growth, now through August 7, 2020.

This gives us opportunities to improve our relationships with others and with ourselves. It also gives us opportunities to create beauty and harmony around us.

Because this conjunction takes place in Gemini, it is a good time to work on how we communicate with others.

The North Node of the Moon is the point where the path of the Moon intersects the point of the Sun, moving in a northern direction.

This gives us opportunities to enhance these areas of our lives, it is up to us to take advantage of them.

Mercury corresponds with all kinds of communicating, including writing, speaking, teaching, marketing and advertising. It also corresponds with short distance traveling, using your hands and healing.

Neptune corresponds with things hidden from us, including the subconscious. It also corresponds with unconditional love, connection with God and contemplation.

From July 26, 2020 through August 2, 2020, these two planets will be in a beneficial, trine aspect. Trines can be helpful to a person with a strong character and if these planetary energies are used. I see trines as wonderful opportunities, but it is up to us to use them. Don’t let this beneficial time go by.

Combining these two planetary energies could include being creative with words, taking time to connect with Spirit, using your hands to make artistic creations and taking care of your health, including psychological health.

We can let people who are important to know that we love them. Short trips to be out in nature can refresh all of us who are cooped up. This world needs more love than usual right now. In negative times, it can help if we focus on positive planetary aspects.

Opportunities

Jupiter, the Great Benefic, is the largest of all of the planets. It has a correspondence with expansion, advanced knowledge, religion and good fortune. It is optimistic, generous and has a sense of compassion.

Neptune, the planet of spirituality, intuition and artistic creativity, has a correspondence with meditation, yoga, nature, dreams, the unconscious, the spirit world and events and people from the past. Neptune is the planet of unity—unity with God and unity with others. It is also the planet of unconditional love.

Now through October 30, 2020, these two planets with be in a harmonious sextile aspect (about 60 degrees from each other.) When planets are sextile each other, there are opportunities for the two of them to work well together. Sextiles usually mean that there are opportunities for us, but we have to grab the opportunities or create the opportunities.

We can use this planetary energy by connecting to God, meditating, doing yoga, paying attention to our dreams, listening to our intuition, being open to receiving inspired creativity, being in nature, and healing events or relationships that still hurt from the past.

It is a time to be compassionate with ourselves and others. There are other harsh planetary aspects happening this year. Now is the time to come together in unity.

The astronomy of Comet Neowise

THE SUPER-SIZED NUCLEUS OF COMET NEOWISE: Now we know why Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) is so bright. It has an unusually large nucleus. Infrared data from NASA’s NEOWISE spacecraft suggest that the comet’s core of ice and dust is 5 km wide. This bodes well for the comet’s visibility in the weeks ahead. Visit Spaceweather.com for the full story and observing tips. From Spaceweather.com. This comet will be visible around the world through mid-August.

As a long-time skywatcher, I have seen a lot of astronomical events—three total solar eclipses, many total lunar eclipses, Venus going across the face of the Sun and many others. I have only seen three comets. Visible ones are rare. When we have an opportunity to see one, we should take advantage of it.

The astrology of comets

Comets are said to bring with them natural disasters, hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, riots, wars, accidents, changes, and deaths and abdications of rulers or monarchs.

The Chinese called comets “broom stars.” Sweeping away can be negative or positive. I choose to focus on what I can sweep away from my life—what is not serving my highest good and what I don’t want to have in my life.

July 10, 2020

Of all of the information I send out, one that people seem to like the most is my information about whether or not Mercury is in retrograde motion or direct motion. When Mercury is in retrograde motion (apparent backward motion as seen from earth, based upon our relative positions), we have to spend more time being thoughtful, especially connected to communication and travel. If you want more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to

http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

On July 12, 2020 at 3:26 a.m. Central Time USA Mercury goes in direct motion. Many breathe a sigh of relief because it is now easier to communicate, travel, make decisions, start new jobs and buy machines. Mercury Direct is only one of many, many astrological influences happening at one time, but it does have an influence.

Your own worst enemy

As an astrologer, I believe in the ancient Hermetic principle, “As above, so below, as within, so without.” I was excited when this very successful leader understands that what is within us, creates what is without us. I love this video and hope that you will , too.

July 4, 2020 Lunar Eclipse

The astronomy of the lunar eclipse

Spoiler alert: This is a minor eclipse. On the night of July 4th, the full Moon will pass through the pale outskirts of Earth’s shadow, producing a penumbral lunar eclipse. The northern half of the full Moon will be only slightly darkened during the 3 hour event, which begins just after 11 pm EDT (8 pm PDT). Most people won’t notice, but if you know the eclipse is happening, you can see it. Happy 4th of July! From Spaceweather.com.

The astrology of the lunar eclipse

Just as the Moon becomes brighter after she has been eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow, we can become brighter by letting go of the dark of the past. Pay attention to what we think, say and do and make it a habit to be positive instead of dark. If our stories of the past are dark, it is time for us to focus on and create new, bright stories.

Opportunities for increased love and money

Venus, the planet of love, social life, connection, money and possessions is sextile Mars, the planet of energy, drive and initiative now through July 22, 2020. A sextile is when planets are about 60 degrees from each other, and a sextile brings opportunities. Opportunities are there, but we need to take advantage of them.

This is good news during this time when it often feels as if we are isolated. Venus is in Gemini, the sign of communication. Mars is in Aries, which is pioneering and great for starting new projects. Take the initiative to communicate with others.

This is good news as many are feeling fear regarding money. This is a good time to energetically work on our budgets, buy needed items and create new sources of income. I know that for many, it is a time of uncertainty regarding finances, but there are opportunities out there if we look for them and are willing to try new ways of dealing with money.

We can create the kind of lives we want, and astrology can help.

Five! Planets retrograde

With five planets in retrograde motion (apparent backward motion as seen from the earth), it is a time for us to review and, if necessary, revise our lives. Planets in retrograde motion can make us feel that our lives are harder than they need to be, it is harder to get what we want or things just take longer than usual. If things are not going well, we need to figure out what we need to do differently and continually work to get what we want.

These are the planets that are retrograde this month and into the fall:

Mercury June 17 through July 12

Jupiter May 14 through September 12

Saturn May 10 through September 28

Neptune June 22 through November 28

Pluto April 24 through October 3

I have already talked about all of the planets above that are retrograde except for Neptune, so I will discuss Neptune now. To read about the other retrograde planets, scroll down on my blog at http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/.

Neptune is the planet that corresponds with spirituality, dreams, psychic abilities, confusion, the unconscious and the past. Even though, Neptune is not quite retrograde, the retrograde effects are already noticeable to sensitive people. With Neptune retrograde, many will be more emotional and sensitive than usual. Pay attention to your dreams as they may be trying to give you guidance.

This is a good time to be in therapy, have NLP sessions, talk to an astrologer or at least be willing to see how our pasts are still having a negative effect on our present lives, and will be willing to let our negative tapes go. If we are still telling negative stories about our pasts, it’s a great time to get new positive stories to focus on and tell.

I know so many people who are confused about what path to take right now. Since Neptune also has a correspondence with unconditional love, that is usually the answer to what path to take. It often means to love ourselves and to do what is best for ourselves.

If I can help you navigate through this time, call me at 785-232-2836.

Good News Fridays.

I don’t know about you, but I am tired of hearing bad news. I am, therefore, going to send out only good news every Friday in July.

Mercury goes in Retrograde motion (apparent backward motion as seen from the earth) on June 17, 2020. It stays in retrograde motion until July 12, 2020.

Mercury Retrograde is a time to guard against miscommunication and transportation mishaps and to keep our machines in good working order. During this time, I have learned to pay attention to travel plans, watch for communication misunderstandings and unplug my computer overnight when a thunderstorm might happen. We should always pay attention to things like this, but under Mercury Retrograde, we need to be especially careful.

4 Best ways to deal with Eris square Pluto

Two days ago, my local paper had a front page story about a violent confrontation between police and protesters in my city. The striking photo showed a highway patrolman surrounded by a huge amount of tear gas. Today, my local paper had a front page story about the police taking time to dialogue and answer questions with protesters. The inspiring accompanying photo was of a row of policemen shaking hands with protesters.

Two days ago, I wrote about Eris and what she means astrologically. Yesterday, I wrote about what Pluto means, and what Eris square Pluto means for the world. If you missed those, or if you want a refresher, you can go to http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/.

I see two planets being about 90 degrees from each other, called a square aspect, to be like two cars coming to an intersection at the same time. They could crash, especially if neither is paying attention to the other. Or, if they respect each other and each pays attention to the other, they can easily pass each other in the intersection without crashing. Planets in square aspect are at least moving and have a desire to get where they want to go.

With Eris squaring Pluto during 2020 and 2021, this may not be an easy time for us, but this planetary configuration can give us the drive to go for what we want in life. It is not a time to be complacent. It is a time to see how we can get to where we want to go, while at the same time to help others get where they want to go, too.

What are the best ways for us to deal with Eris square Pluto during 2020 and 2021?

Don’t fight after Eris’s Apple of Discord. Respect others, as well as yourself. Try to see others’ points of views. We all need to work together instead of fighting. Watch out for jealousy, anger and aggression.
Get rid of what no longer serves you, be it clutter, negative people who sap your energy, or bad habits. Spend your time, energy and money on what serves your higher good and your goals. Focus on what is important to you.
Be financially prudent. Many astrologers see lean times ahead. Not everyone will have lean times, but it is time to budget and plan ahead about financially matters.
Take stock of your life. If it is not working out the way you want it to, figure out what you want your life to look like and then start taking the steps to get where you want to be. I believe that our lives are the choices we make. I don’t believe that the stars or the planets cause us to do anything.

This can be a transformative and healing time if we are willing to do the work. I love what Tony Robbins says about how to achieve whatever you want in life. He says it takes, “Massive, sustained action.” We have two planets (yes, I know they are dwarf planets, but they are powerful) that will help us have energy, drive and determination if we are willing to do the work.

Please contact me if I can help you navigate through this time, you can call at 785-232-2836, email me at Cappie0113@aol.com or visit my website at www.DianneLawson.com.

The Goddess of Discord and Chaos and the God of the Underworld

We can already see the discord around the world, in our own communities and among people we know. We can see that the heavens mirror what is happening on Earth when we see the huge number, including in many small communities in Kansas, of protesters who rally for racial justice and sometimes turn to violence or draw violent responses from law enforcement. It was pretty stunning for me to see the front page of my local paper showing a member of the highway patrol using tear gas on protesters last night in my town, Topeka, Kansas. It brought home to me some of the anger, aggression and confrontation in my town that Eris and Pluto can indicate. The recent protests are bringing up just one of many issues dividing people that will be brought up this year.

Yesterday I wrote about the meaning of Eris, so you can go back and read what I wrote as well as all of the posts I have written about the extraordinary astrology of 2020 at http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/.

Pluto has a correspondence with elimination, big business, banking, stocks and bonds, real estate, governments, volcanoes, earthquakes, weapons of mass destruction, disasters, birth, death, transformation and healing. When I think of Pluto, I think of a volcano. A volcano erupts, brings to the surface that which was hidden and then the surface is more fertile than it was before. It is a good metaphor for Pluto. If often brings things to the surface that are better brought to light than hidden below. The eruption can be startling but can also be a process for ultimate good.

Tomorrow I will explain how this planetary energy may affect you and will give you tips on how to use this planetary energy to help you create the life you want. Everything in astrology has a positive and a negative potential. Knowing what to expect can be helpful in creating the life you want. Being forewarned is being forearmed. Watch for an email from me tomorrow. Share this with anyone you think may be interested.

Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos

In ancient Greece, the other Goddesses were invited to a party, but Eris was not invited because she was a troublemaker. She was jealous and tossed the Apple of Discord into the party. The apples was inscribed, “To the fairest.” Each of the Goddesses thought the apple should belong to her. They picked poor Paris, Prince of Troy, to decide who among them should receive the apple. Each of the Goddesses offered him bribes if Paris would pick her. Paris picked Aphrodite, as she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world if he would pick her. Unfortunately the most beautiful woman was already married—Helen was married to Menelaus of Sparta. This started the Trojan War, which ended up destroying Paris’s city.

In 2005, the astronomical body Eris was discovered, causing the International Astronomical Union to define the term planet for the first time. The group decided that Eris was a dwarf planet, along with Pluto, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake. Eris is the reason that Pluto was downgraded from being considered a planet to now being considered a dwarf planet. There was a tremendous discord and disagreement, not only among astronomers, but also among astrologers and other people who grew up thinking of Pluto as a planet and didn’t like him being demoted.

(An interesting aside about Ceres: in the 1800s it was considered a planet, then later it was downgraded to be considered an asteroid. In 2005, it was upgraded to the position of dwarf planet.)

The dwarf planet Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos, squares (is about 90 degrees from) Pluto, the God of the underworld, during 2020 and 2021. Squares between planets are energetic, urging us toward action, and are often challenging. We can already see the discord around the world, in our own communities and among people we know. We can see that the heavens mirror what is happening on Earth when we see the huge number, including in many small communities in Kansas, of protesters who rally for racial justice and sometimes turn to violence or draw violent responses from law enforcement.

As always, I put these messages on the blog on my website, so you can always go back and read what I have written. You may want to go to see all of the posts I have written about the extraordinary astrology of 2020 at http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/.

In the next two days, I will explain what Eris square Pluto means for the world and for you. I will also give you tips on how to use this planetary energy to help you create the life you want. Everything in astrology has a positive and a negative potential. Knowing what is expect can be helpful in creating the life you want. Being forewarned is being forearmed. Watch for emails from me the next two days.

Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, is retrograde!!!

Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, expansion, expanding horizons, travel, knowledge, higher education and optimism. On May 14, 2020, Jupiter went retrograde and will be there until September 13, 2020.

When planets are in retrograde motion it means that they appear to go backward through the signs of the zodiac based upon the relative positions of them and Earth. Most people understand what Mercury Retrograde means, but fewer understand what it means when the other planets go retrograde.

When planets are in retrograde motion it means that it is harder for them to express themselves easily. This is just one of many, many things astrologers look at, but it does make a difference.

With Jupiter in retrograde motion, does it mean that we no longer have good fortune, expansion, expanding horizons, travel, knowledge, higher education and optimism? No. It just means that we have to work at those things a little harder. We have to rely on ourselves to supply us with all of the above, rather on rely on others to supply us with them.

This is the fourth day explaining what the current four planets in retrograde motion mean for us. If you missed any of it, or you want to see what else I have had to say about this astrologically significant year, scroll down this page.

Saturn, the planet of karma, is retrograde

Saturn, the planet of karma, career, responsibilities, self-discipline, restrictions and limitations went retrograde May 11, 2020, where it will be until September 29, 2020. When planets are retrograde, they appear to go backward through the signs of zodiac, based upon the relative positions of the planets and Earth.

Planetary energies are not expressed as easily when they are in retrograde motion. Their energies tend to be turned inward. One of the Universal Laws—as within, so without–explains that we can look within ourselves to help us get what we want outside ourselves.

With Saturn, the planet of karma, retrograde, it is a good time to look back at our past behavior. If it hasn’t been something you are proud of, it is time to make corrections. This can be a time to learn important life lessons. Karma is really about cause and effect. Saturn brings you what you have earned. Saturn rewards taking responsibility for our lives, being self-disciplined

This is a good time to see how our careers are going. If not going the way we want them to, what do we need to do to change the course of our career path? Do we need to learn new skills?

We can see the restrictions we have now because of the virus. We need to live within boundaries that keep us safe, but that doesn’t mean we need to be lonely. We may just need to connect in ways differently than we have in the past.

The word limitation sometimes has a negative connotation, but it doesn’t have to. Limiting ourselves to stay within our budgets, limiting the amount of clutter we have in our homes and limiting our lives to people who support us and don’t suck our energy can be very good things.

Saturn often has a bad rap. Retrograde planets often have a bad rap. If we work with Saturn and we work with Retrograde planets, we can accomplish much. Working with, instead of against, Saturn energies can earn us great rewards. Saturn rewards hard work, self-discipline, good habits and massive sustained effort. Hard-working people often truly love Saturn. It can teach us lessons that sustain us throughout life.

Venus, the planet of love and money, is retrograde

Ah, Venus! The planet of love, marriage, relationships, harmony, security, money and possessions. Also, self-worth, self-esteem and values. What does it mean when Venus goes retrograde? From time to time, each of the planets appear to go in backward motion through the signs of the zodiac. This is dependent upon the relative position of that planet and the earth. Astrologically, when Venus is retrograde it means it is a time to review, reevaluate, reestablish and rebalance how we do relationships, how we handle money and possessions and how we value ourselves.

Are we spending enough time with people we really care about? Are we spending too much time with people who do not help us reach our goals?

I love what my daughter Trish, who is an excellent astrologer, said about a retrograde Venus. “Venus retrograde is a time to explore your own landscape regarding relationships,” she said.

I believe that the most important choices we make in our lives are the ones we make regarding relationships. Who we marry, who are friends are have major impacts in our lives.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” Jim Rohn said. That average includes how much money you make, how your relationships are and how your health is.

Venus retrograde is a good time to budget and put our finances in order. It’s a great time to declutter and make our environments comfortable and pleasing. It is not a good time to buy high-dollar items unless we need them.

Many people have been re-evaluating their perceptions of themselves. Do our lives mirror what is most important to us? Are we valuing ourselves enough and making sure others treat us as we should be treated?

We can take this time while Venus is retrograde to slow down, look at our lives and take responsibility for how our lives are going. The symbol for Venus is a circle on top of a cross. It looks like a mirror, reminding us that our lives mirror what we have inside ourselves.

Because Venus is in the sign of Gemini, the sign of communication among other things, it is a good time to pay attention to how we communicate with others. I have noticed in my own life, as well as in the lives of others, it seems harder to communicate now than it usually is. Or, at least, communication issues are coming to the surface.

We may feel as if it is harder than usual to have the relationships and money that we want. We need to just keep of working to achieve what we want. There is an ebb and a flow in the universe.

Venus retrograde is just one of many, many planetary configurations going on right now. You may want to go back and look at my blog on my website to see what else I have written about the astrology of 2020. You may also want me to provide you with a yearly astrology chart to help you navigate through the next twelve months.

Watch tomorrow for the second in the series of planets in retrograde motion. Saturn, the planet of karma!

April 22, 2020

Four planets retrograde!!!

If you are feeling that it is harder to you to accomplish what you want to, it may be because four planets are in retrograde motion now. If you’re feeling irritable with others, it may not just be the virus. If you’re more concerned about love and money now than usual, astrology may be of help.

When planets are in retrograde motion it means that it is harder for them to express themselves easily. This is just one of many, many things astrologers look at, but it does make a difference.

When planets are in retrograde motion it means that they appear to go backward through the signs of the zodiac based upon the relative position of them and Earth. Most people understand what Mercury Retrograde means, but fewer understand what it means when the other planets go retrograde.

Three planets went retrograde in three days and will continue to be there for a while.

On May 11, Saturn went retrograde and will be there until September 29, 2020.

On May 13, 2020, Venus went retrograde and will be there until June 25, 2020.

On May 14, 2020, Jupiter went retrograde and will be there until September 13, 2020.

Since Pluto already went retrograde on April 25, 2020 and will remain there until October 4, 2020, that means four planets will in apparent backward motion at the same time.

And Neptune and Mercury will also go retrograde next month. But that is another story that I will share with you next month.

The most significant piece of this is that Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will continue to do their dances close to each other. I have talked about this on my blog before and hope you go back and look at what I wrote about it on April 3, 2020 and April 15, 2020: http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/

During the next three days, I will share with you what Saturn, Venus and Jupiter being retrograde means. We will start with Venus, maybe because Sheri Horn Hasan and talked about this yesterday, (you can hear our discussion at https://karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking/) and maybe because so many of my clients seem right now to be reassessing their relationships and how they deal with money.

Venus deals with money, relationships, money and possessions and I will tell you how Venus in retrograde can affect the world and you tomorrow. In preparation in talking about Venus and relationships, I give you this quote by Zig Ziglar. “If you want to fly with the eagles, you can’t continue to scratch with the turkeys.”

Watch this blog for the next three days while I explain to you how you can most help yourself deal with the current astrological weather while these planets are going in apparent backward motion.

My body feels like it is getting flabbier.

After a long day of talking to clients, I find myself tired, stiff and wanting to move my body. Unfortunately, my yoga class is cancelled because of the virus, and if I don’t have a teacher expecting me, I am far less likely to do yoga stretches on my own. It is hard for me to exercise on my own. My body feels like it is getting flabbier, less strong and less flexible by the minute.

There is a solution. Alba Blocker teaches Pilates by Zoom. I can see her and she can see me to see if I am moving correctly or not. I have known Alba for many years and I, my family members, my friends and my clients all love her. I bet you will, too.

If you are receiving this, I feel like you are part of my community and I want to help members of my community have extraordinary lives. I go to the Thursday 9 a.m. Central Time, USA class, so if you want to join me in that class, I would love to see you. Although, I would recommend any of her classes. Zoom is easy to navigate and people from all over the world are welcome to join us.

Here is her website to learn more about Pilates and to sign up for her classes.

How and when to watch the Lyrid meteor shower

04 | 17 | 2020

April may not have been the best month on record, but the upcoming Lyrid meteor shower promises to be a bright spot — literally. The 2020 edition of the annual astronomical event is set to be especially majestic, as the relatively dim light of the new moon will allow those of us looking up at the night sky to see 10 to 20 shooting stars per hour without drowning out the show.

The shower takes place between the 16th and 25th of April each year, and the Lyrid’s radiant (read: where it appears to emanate from) is the Lyra constellation — also known as the harp constellation. This year’s shower will peak in the early hours of Wednesday the 22nd. The Lyrids have been observed since at least 687 BCE, making them one of the oldest-known meteor showers; they’re fast, too, traveling up to 30 miles per second.

The best way to take part in this spectacle is simple: go outside in the predawn hours of April 22, preferably as far from light pollution as possible (while still being mindful of social distancing, of course), and find a comfortable spot to lie flat on your back. Don’t use a telescope, as the Lyrids are best observed via the naked eye. Bring a blanket for comfort, point your feet eastward, and allow some time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness — that’s when you’ll really start seeing the meteors, which last until dawn.

Don’t fret if you can’t catch a glimpse of this shower, however, as another one is quite literally on the horizon: the Eta Aquarids, which begins on April 19 and is set to peak on May 5-6, before ending on the 28th. More prominent moonlight will make it less spectacular, especially for those in the northern hemisphere, but its origins in Halley’s Comet give it a special place in the heart of many a stargazer.

Corona Virus and Astrology

As above, so below.

Astrology is all about timing and cycles.

As always, there are many planetary configurations happening at the same time. The following illustrates that the heavens above mirror the earth below.

We have been through epidemics and pandemics before and we can do this again. Now we have better understanding of what is going on and what to do about it. We also have a better understanding how to keep ourselves healthy and better medicine than we have had in the past. Each of these health crises of the past has helped people learn more about how to keep themselves healthy.

Jupiter-Pluto Conjunctions

(Conjunctions are when two planets are in the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac) Jupiter expands and enlarges whatever it touches. Pluto represents death, birth, rebirth and transformation. Planets in conjunction have added strength and power.

Black Death, the most fatal pandemic in history 1347

Russian Plague 1771

Spanish Flu Pandemic, wiped out one quarter of the world’s population 1918

Hong Kong Flu 1969 (I don’t even remember this.)

HIV Pandemic 1981

Swine Flu 2007 (I don’t remember this, either.)

Corona Virus 2020

Saturn-Pluto Conjunctions

Saturn teaches us what we need to learn. Pluto represents death, birth, rebirth and transformation. Planets in conjunction have added strength and power.

Polio Epidemic 1947

The Meridian Line was commissioned by Pope Clement XI and was completed in 1702.

The purpose of the line was to know when to celebrate Easter.

Many astronomers and many Popes have been astrologers. It was wonderful for me to see this magnificent cathedral that incorporated worship and prayer, art and science and astrology.

I rarely recommend other people unless I knew that they are good. Tess James, a relationship coach, is caring, competent, good at what she does and can help you have the relationship you desire. I highly recommend her! She lives in New Zealand, but can talk to people around the world through audio or both audio and visual. She offers a free chat. You can contact her at tessjames07@gmail.com or through her website www.tessjames.co.nz. The following is from Tess James.

I have throughout my life been passionately interested in people’s well-being.

> After training as a nurse and enjoying working many years in that area I was searching for something more holistic and interested in helping clients work through transitions.

> After training in Hellerwork ( mind/ body work) which I loved and practiced for 20years I then went on to Certify in EFT ( known also as tapping) which is a noninvasive therapy that switches off the flight and fight response in our brain.

> Emotions are healthy – but only when we let them move freely. Are you holding onto feelings of anxiousness, sadness, guilt, shame, fear or anger?

> I’ve been there and have had so much success resolving old limiting beliefs and scars from the past by releasing these.

> Learn to tap on specific meridian points to let all those old triggers go.

> By releasing negative feelings we make space for clarity & have the ability to gain a different perspective.

> My most recent training in Relationship Coaching is my absolute passion.

> If you are feeling overwhelmed, defeated or you want to get that spark back, I know the feeling, I’ve been there before too.

> There is so much harmony in my household now and I do not miss all the arguments and misunderstanding as I have the 6 intimacy skills to overcome any challenge and keep building the intimacy in my marriage.

> I coach women in the secrets to regaining intimacy and I promise you your relationship is worth saving. It doesn’t matter what stage or age your marriage/ relationship is at, it is not too late to have the relationship of your dreams.

> Never has there been a more challenging time where we need skills to help release stress and build better relationships.

> Let me help you on that journey where you deserve all you desire which lies within you right now.

> Make today that day.

People are freaking out #5 of 5

You already know that 2020 is going to be a noteworthy year. We can’t control what is going on in the outside world, but we can control what is going on in our inside world. Often people get really rich during times of depression because of their mindsets and their adapting to the situation.

The astrological event that a lot of astrologers are looking forward to happens on December 21, 2020. That does not mean that we have to wait until then for good things to happen. It also does not mean that exactly on that date good stuff starts to happen. It means it is the beginning of a new era. Just like the first day of spring doesn’t mean the weather will be nice, the first day of spring does indicate that seasons are changing and it will start getting warmer.

We have The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius on December 21, 2020. Aquarius is an air sign and this conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn has been in earth signs since 1802. This shift will be significant, but will only become more and more noticeable as times go by. What we can do is prepare ourselves to be ready for this shift. We can start now to change our ways of relating to others and our ways of being open to change. Jupiter and Saturn will have conjunctions in air signs from 2020 until 2159. This is a long-term effect and will be momentous.

Earth signs are about the material world, money, earnings, banking, security and practicality. Air signs are about the realm of intelligence and social life. Aquarius in particular is about equality, humanitarianism, technology, inventions and innovation. The world will be more egalitarian and humanitarian. Technology, inventions and innovation will take off in ways we are not even able to envision now.

Things you can do

Guard your health, do what the CDC recommends and build up your immune system
Plan for your financial present, as well as your future
Know that we are all in this together
Upgrade your knowledge and skills, especially technology

People are freaking out #4 of 5

I have two books that talk about the economics of 2020. The first one, Cosmos and Psyche, by Richard Tarnas, is a large astrology book that deals with the cycles of the planets. The second book, Zero Hour, by Harry. S. Dent is an economics book that deals with economic cycles and never mentions astrology. The cycles in the two books are the same.

A big thank you goes to my friend Joe Cowdin who gave me the book, Zero Hour, after he mentioned to me the periodic cycles mentioned in the book and I immediately knew that they were astrological cycles.

Both books talked about a major worldwide economic downturn in 2020. Dent called this period the greatest political and financial upheaval in modern history. They both said we would get through this. Many political and economic things need to change and this upheaval will help us make necessary changes.

I would not have predicted a pandemic in 2020, but I knew that major changes would happen worldwide in 2020. With the huge number and the actual planets in Capricorn, I knew that major shifts in governments and countries would occur. Since Capricorn is an earth sign, I wonder about earth changes (volcanoes, earthquakes). With Mars and Pluto involved, I thought a war might occur, not guessing that it would be a war against a virus. I also knew that people who have points in their birth charts in the last third of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn would be the most affected.

Astrologers often say that character is destiny. I often say that life is primarily about the choices we make. What we are and what we do is more important than what happens to us. We need to get to work and create the lives we want in spite of times being chaotic on the outside.

Watch for the final #5 in this series tomorrow. It will be about the positive planetary aspect coming up this year.

Call me at 785.232.2836 if you want some help getting through this changing world.

People are freaking out #3 of 5

It is not all doom and gloom in the world now, as today through the rest of 2020, Jupiter will be conjoining Pluto. It is exact today, and will retrograde (go in apparent backward motion as seen from the earth) over the same point on June 30, 2020 and then go back forward over it November 12, 2020. The exact days are not that important—the entire period will have the influence of these two together in the sky.

This aspect can enlarge existing problems, but it can also be optimistic, with opportunities to heal, regenerate and transform existing structures and government policies.

Jupiter is optimistic and generous and we will see more of those qualities this year. People will realize that we are all in this together and that what affects our neighbor also affects us. We can help transform the world when we remain optimistic and generous and are working to transform our lives and the lives of others.

Call me now at 785-232-2836 if you would like help in navigating these changing astrological times. Yearly charts can be especially helpful, so you can prepare for what’s ahead during the next twelve months. Horary astrology can answer any question you may have.

People are freaking out #2 of 5

Please read to the end of this to see what we can create positively, both worldwide and individually. You already know that this is a challenging time; also know that all planetary energy can be channeled for good. Don’t forget that on #5 of this series, I will share what many astrologers are looking forward to this year.

The reason I have been freaking out about the astrology of 2020 is the huge number and the particular astrological points that have been dancing around in Capricorn. I have been asking my son Josh and my daughter Trish, who are both astrologers, over and over what they think this will mean for us. I have asked so many times, that they refuse to talk to me about it, telling me they have already told me what they think.

To make a very complicated and complex dance simple, it started out in 2019 when Pluto and Saturn were together in the sky in Capricorn. In January 2020, the Sun, Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and the South Node were all in Capricorn. In February Mars joined them. This is a huge amount of planetary energy all very close together. That in and of itself is not foreboding, but Pluto, Saturn and Mars are considered malefics and karmic.

Saturn moved out of Capricorn and went into Aquarius in March 2020, and then because it retrogrades, it will go back into Capricorn in July 2020, where it remains until December 2020. I do not have the time or space to talk about all of the movements of the planets; these are what I consider to be the most important. I will only further discuss the planets that will be in Capricorn in December 2020.

Saturn is the great teacher and helps us learn important life lessons. It deals with limitation, isolation and responsibility. We must do the daily work, but once the lessons are learned, they can be useful the rest of our lives.

Years ago, I read that the Pluto-Saturn conjunction is called The Magician’s Aspect. Since Pluto is intensity, transformation, and extreme energy, and Saturn is hard work, discipline and perseverance, having these two together can achieve huge accomplishments.

The sign Capricorn has a correspondence with career, standing in the world, structures and government. I have been talking about how this planetary configuration applies to individuals, but you can see that governments around the world are in turmoil, chaos and transformation. We need to be taking care of our infrastructure or we will suffer the consequences. Saturn doesn’t let anyone of us, including politicians, get away with anything over the long haul. Saturn can be very slow and methodical, but it eventually gives its students grades.

Capricorn and Saturn correspond with isolation, restriction, responsibility, discipline and daily work. People have been asking me when this social isolation will be over. No one knows for sure. It will depend upon when people pay attention to being responsible and disciplined. Saturn does reward effort.

What we can do.

It is a time for us to work hard on the careers we have or the careers we want in our future.
It is also the time for us to daily do what we know we need to do.
Be as loving as we can toward others, and to ourselves. Take good care of yourself and all of the rest of us.
Social distance
Keep in contact with those you love via Skype, FaceTime, Facebook, Zoom, phone or email
Get rid of what no longer serves you
Don’t waste this time with trivial matters
Focus on what is most important to you
Learn new skills

We will get through this. There is hope. Regardless of what we think about the Chinese government, China has done a masterful job of isolating its citizens and stopping the crisis in its country. We can do that, too.

Keep watching for #3 through #5. You will feel more hopeful when you read #5.

People are freaking out, #1 of 5

2020 and 2021 are momentous years astrologically, worldwide and for you. Be sure to see the whole picture and watch all five segments over today and the next four days.

Tomorrow I will share with you what astrological configuration of 2020 freaks me out the most. On day five, I will share what astrological configuration of 2020 many astrologers are looking forward to.

Today, I am sharing what I wrote on June 10, 2018. It is still on my blog and I sent it out to people on my email list and my Facebook page. I am resending it today as it is a very important piece of what is going on astrologically now. Please read all the way to the bottom to see what you can do for yourself under this chaotic time.

Uranus in Taurus

The most important astrological change this year?

When the slow-moving outer planets enter new signs, they show massive changes on a global level. Uranus, the planet of change, the unexpected, and breaking with the past entered Taurus, the sign most resistant to change on May 15, 2018. It will retrograde back into Aries on November 6, 2018, reenter Taurus on March 6, where it will stay until April 26, 2026. During this time, essentially 2018 through 2026, we will see largescale changes in building, land use, banking, how we spend our money, farming and food.

For hints on what may happen, although of all the planets Uranus is the most unpredictable, let’s look at what happened when Uranus was last in Taurus—June 6, 1934 through May 15, 1942. President Franklin Roosevelt, started the New Deal, changing how government interacted in the lives of people. There was regulation of banks and WPA creating buildings, bridges and intra-structure. Social Security began in 1935. Wars, including the beginning of World War II, created changes in the borders of countries. Many Americans took up farming, having Victory Gardens. The drought permanently changed how Americans farmed.

During this current eight-year period of Uranus in Taurus, I would expect (not always a good word to use with Uranus) major building of our country’s intra-structure, changes in regulation of banking, and major loss of retail stores with people buying over the internet, which happens to be ruled, or symbolized by Uranus. Farming will have big changes, let’s hope for the benefit of our health, instead of the benefit of large corporations.

This planetary transit will affect each of us differently, depending upon our individual birth charts, but we can become more independent and willing to adapt to new ways of doing things. Uranus in Taurus can be very stubborn and lead to having strong and fixed ideas. Being open to others’ viewpoints is important, but will be hard for many. Many of us will spend money differently, perhaps with Bitcoins or bartering.

The planets are in constant motion, constantly giving us opportunities for new ways of being and growing. By 2026, the world, our country and we will have made major changes. We can make our lives better, as our lives are created by the choices we make.

People are freaking out! These are unprecedented times and I am going to do something I have never done before. In order for me to explain to you what is going on astrologically during 2020 and into 2021 and what you can do to help, I am going to write about it for the next five days. So watch here for the next five days to get the whole picture.

Mercury goes direct tonight, March 9, 2020, at 10:48 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

Many people have told me that this Mercury Retrograde period has been especially hard on them and they have been eagerly looking forward to Mercury going direct.

I rarely recommend anyone, but I highly recommend Deborah Corak as a light worker, energy worker, teacher, reader, healer and more!!! I recommend that you call her and see why everybody loves her! She can be reached at coherentimagery.com, or 406-475-3737.

About Deborah Corak

It seems from the current vantage point of my long life that everything that I’ve been through {much of it traumatic} has impelled me into situations that gave me a choice…..to either throw myself into the arms of God out of sheer desperation, or choose overwhelming fear that would have assuredly ended me in madness. As things worked out I swan dived into the light, and landed somewhere in the eccentric strata of humanity, with a dash of psychic ability, and a pinch of batty artist thrown into the mix. At this time in my life I feel I’ve been called to be the best light worker I can be. I receive images in the form of symbols that are interpreted for the person I’m balancing. I also clear any extraneous energies off the client, and clean and realign the chakras. This process gives the client a fresh, unsullied view of themselves and the opportunity to experience feeling considerably lighter. We “reboot” the self – much like turning on light switches. I do this with the help of what appears to be a nearly endless supply of non-corporeal beings that are in alignment with harmony and balance, and work in support of humanity. A twenty minute period of time to rest after the reading is over is suggested to allow the newer vibrations to settle. Except in rare circumstances, I generally am advised not to do another reading for a person for approximately 3 months .The client is also advised not to get other energy work done for a minimum of 5 days. Let’s let it cook!
I live in the Mountain Time Zone, and work almost exclusively in the afternoons, generally 1:00 to 4:00. You may contact me by phone or web site, and I will get back to you as soon as possible to set your appointment time. I am Deborah Corak, and have been reading professionally for nearly 15 years. All readings are by phone, and the sessions are an hour or so. Each session is $115.00. I am able to be reached at coherentimagery.com, or 406-475-3737. Blessings!

51ST SPIRIT MIND BODY FAIR

Saturday, March 7, 2020, 10 am to 7 pm

Sunday, March 8, 2020, 11 am to 5 pm

Ag Hall at 17th & Topeka, Topeka, KS

I LOVE this fair and really hope to see you there. Put this on your calendar now.

I will be there providing astrology, card and palm readings and selling my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology. There will be food, readers, vendors, free presentations and more. Come be with your tribe, with people who understand you. Lift up your spirit and gain understanding about your life. I have $1 off coupons if you would like them, let me know.

The outer planets are often viewed with fright, and seen as challenging and frustrating. They can help us transform ourselves, learn from our mistakes and become the people we are meant to be. They help us learn our important life lessons. Anthony Picco is a great astrologer and is wonderful to talk with. I hope you can join us this Monday–go to www.spreaker.com/show/cosmic-tuesdays and listen in. If you miss the broadcast, you can hear it in the archives later.

February 25, 2020

Yes, I know that Mercury is Retrograde and we need to be more careful with communication and transportation, but I also know that all of the planets are bunched up between the signs of Taurus and Capricorn and the lead planet (the first planet that leads that bunch of planets) is Mars. Mars is the planet of drive, force and energy and it is in the sign of its exaltation in Capricorn. Mars works well in Capricorn because Capricorn can laser-like focus that Mars energy. And in addition to Mars being in Capricorn, so are Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn until March 21, 2020, when Saturn leaves Capricorn and goes into Aquarius. Being responsible, reliable, industrious, and doing what is most important brings good results. Be like a laser, not a shotgun. Scattering your energy will not bring you the most important things that you want.

This is not for everyone.

This is for people who have fears, frustrations or challenges regarding relationships.

This is for people who are wanting to improve their relationships.

Listen to Your Relationship Story Through Astrology at The Insightful Podcast with Maria DeSimone. Maria is a well-known, fun and knowledgeable astrologer and I had a great time talking with her. https://www.insightfulastrology.com/insightfulastrology-podcast-maria-desimone/ The episode is Episode 81, Your Relationship Story Through Astrology.

While there, you may also want to scroll down to Episode 42, Extraordinary Relationships with Dianne Lawson, where Maria and I talk about my book, and Episode 57, The Progressed Horoscope: How Your Life Unfolds. Your progressed horoscope is one of the tools that I and other good astrologers use for forecasting trends in your life. This episode is for people who are serious about learning astrology.

February 19, 2020

Have you been stuck getting what you want in life? Now is the time to figure out exactly what you want in life, what steps you need to take to get it and work toward obtaining it. Now through February 29, 2020 is a fortunate time to focus on what is important to you and use your energy to accomplish your most important goals while Mars trines Uranus. If you use your energy and drive to work toward your goals, you can accomplish a lot quickly.

Mars is the planet of energy, drive and force. Uranus is the planet of originality, unconventionality, inventiveness and freedom. A trine aspect is when two astrological points are about 120 degrees from each other. A trine indicates opportunities, ease and good fortune. It is up to you whether or not you will grab opportunities or not.

Mars is in Capricorn, the sign of career, structure and discipline, and Uranus is in the sign of Taurus, the sign of money, persistent and values. Persistent and hard work can bring you good results.

The aspect is exact on Friday, February 21, 2020, so the next two days will have the strongest effect, but the effect will last until February 29, 2020.

I see forecasting with astrology is like forecasting the weather. It is up to you to take advantage of the good weather. If you would like an individualized astrological forecast your next twelve month, contact me at 785.23.2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com.

Go out and make the rest of this year the best time of your life.

February 16, 2020

There are lots of universal laws, but I thought of three that describe the universe and that are good to remember under a Mercury Retrograde period. These are three universal laws: The Law of Constant Motion, The Law of Ebb and Flow, and The Law of Action.

The Law of Constant Motion states that everything changes and nothing stays the same. No matter what is at the moment, “This, too, will pass.” This is good to remember always. If you are happy and things, are going well, “This, too, will pass.” Treasure the good moments and never let the opportunity to pass to be grateful, and to let people in your life know how important they are to you. In negative or challenging moments, remember that “This, too, will pass.” Remembering that, how can we be worried, stressed or unhappy? What is happening now will be gone and the flow of life will go on.

The Law of Ebb and Flow states that everything follows the rhythm of life. What goes in, goes out. This law is important to remember during times when life is not going the way you want it to. The pendulum swings. Remember this after infuriating political elections. Remember this when life seems to be going in the opposite way that you want it to. When things are going well, we should enjoy life and the people in it.

The Law of Action states that when if you act, you will have results. Pay attention to how things are going in your life and you will see that they are the result of actions you have taken. Life is the choices we have made. People who have what they want in life know this law and use it to bring in what they want.

Astrology, like everything else, follows these laws. Planets are in constant motion, bringing us opportunities and challenges. Planets ebb and flow: they go in forward motion, then turn and go in apparent backward motion (retrograde motion.) If we act, we will have results. The results may not bring what we want as quickly as we want it, but if we want results, we have to work to get the results we want.

Today, February 16, 2020 marks the day that Mercury goes in Retrograde motion, where it stays until March 10, 2020. It is a time to guard against miscommunication and transportation mishaps and keep our machines in good working order. I have learned under Mercury Retrograde periods to pay attention to all of our flight layovers, so I won’t ever again be looking at a 14-hour layover that starts at midnight in the Istanbul airport. I have also learned to unplug my computer overnight when a thunderstorm might happen. We should always pay attention to things like this, but under Mercury Retrograde, we may not be as careful mentally.

For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

February 15, 2020

Astrologers say that Mars is exalted in Capricorn, which means that of all the signs Mars could be in, it works the best in Capricorn. Mars goes into the sign Capricorn February 16, 2020 and will be there until March 30, 2020.

Mars is the planet of force, drive, energy and initiative. Capricorn is the sign of ambition, discipline and career. Putting these two together, you can see that they can accomplish great things.

Capricorn is patient, hard working and reliable. The keywords for Capricorn are “I use.” That may sound initially negative, until you think of someone using their time and resources wisely.

The time is right while Mars is in Capricorn to work hard, be patient, start new and hard projects, and use your time and resources wisely.

Mars in Capricorn is intensely focused. Strip away anything, person or habit which is not in your highest good.

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” Paul J. Meyer

Is your life going the way you want it to? I am an expert in helping people create the lives they want through astrology. My 46 years of being a professional astrologer, teaching numerous astrology classes, being on countless podcasts and radio shows, writing more than 100 astrology articles for magazines, having my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology published, and counseling thousands of people from all around the world have proven my expertise at helping people have the lives they want. www.DianneLawson.com

I have really noticed it this year that the days are shorter, the days are darker and the Sun is very far south, not providing us with much light. If I have noticed it living in a town, how much more did earlier peoples notice that the Sun appeared to leaving us in darkness. I am not surprised that so many cultures around the world have celebrated at this time of year the return of the Sun.
Did you know that on Christmas Day, the heavens actually are telling the story of the birth of Jesus? In astrology, the Sun has a correspondence with children (son.)
In the Northern Hemisphere in the fall, the Sun in the sky goes farther and farther south after the Summer Solstice. On December 21 each year, the Sun quits going south. It stays in the same place for three days, and on December 25, the Sun starts coming back north. It is the birth of the Sun, which corresponds to the birth of the Son.
On Christmas Day, the heavens symbolize the birth of Jesus. You probably know that Jesus wasn’t really born on Christmas as the shepherds would not be out in their fields on that date.
Did you know that now is the perfect time for astrological help? Help your New Year be as good as it can be with astrology. Is your Yearly Astrological Forecast up to date? Do you have any questions you would like Horary Astrology to answer? If I can be of help to you, please email me at Cappie0113@aol.com or call me at 785.232.2836.

VENUS AND SATURN MEET IN THE SUNSET SKY: Tonight, when the sun goes down, step outside and look southwest. Venus and Saturn are having a beautiful close encounter in the sunset sky. If you have a small telescope, you can see the rings of Saturn and the gibbous form of Venus–or just enjoy the pairing with the naked eye. Visit Spaceweather.com for sky maps and observing tips.

Venus symbolizes love, social life, money and possession. Saturn symbolizes karma, restriction, limitation, discipline and hard work. Venus and Saturn are exactly in the same degree of the zodiac today and will stay within a conjunction for the next eight days. We can choose how these two planets will interact with each other. Pluto is very nearby, adding a depth of intensity and transformation. Pay attention to how your life is going, and if it is not going the way you want it to, use this powerful planetary energy to transform your life. In any case, work hard to get what you want during these powerful days.

Good luck happens to those who work hard. These are words that describe Jupiter in Capricorn. Jupiter, the largest of the planets, is the planet of good luck and opportunities. Capricorn is the sign that symbolizes hard and sustained work, public standing and career. Put Jupiter and Capricorn together, we have opportunities to achieve success, if we do what is needed on a daily basis. Capricorn tends to give us what we earn.

Jupiter entered Capricorn December 2, 2019 and will be in Capricorn until December 19, 2020. Now is the time to grab opportunities, work hard to achieve goals and focus on what is most important. It is not the time to fritter our time away on nonessentials.

If you know what house transiting Jupiter is going through in your individual birth chart, that house can be fortunate for you, if you put in the effort. I include Jupiter in my yearly forecasts, if you want to know how Jupiter will be helping you in the next twelve months.

Mercury Retrograde horror story

My husband paid for our trip to Vietnam, Cambodia (ANGKOR WAT, YES!!!), and Thailand while Mercury was going direct. We waited, however, until Mercury was retrograde to obtain prescriptions for anti-malaria pills and to obtain our electronic visas for Vietnam. Mercury rules travel, health and visas.

My husband’s doctor prescribed anti-malaria pills that the mosquitos are drug-resistant to where we are going. My doctor refused to prescribe pills for me and I had to get them from another doctor after I did the research as to which pills we needed.

We filled out FIVE different forms and had numerous phone calls, hours of frustration and weeks of working on this until after Mercury went direct before we had the electronic visas in our hands.

Next time we will work on all the details (Mercury again) for a trip while Mercury is direct. I suggest that you do, too. For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to

http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/. Please share this with others who might be interested.

November 19, 2019

Grab opportunities to be with people you love, go to parties, make money and buy presents for yourself and others, now through December 2, 2019 while Venus and Jupiter are close together in the sky. Venus is the planet of love, social life, money and possessions. Jupiter is the planet of luck, opportunity and expansion. Take advantage of this fortunate time. If you know which area (house) these two planets fall in your birth chart, that area of life is fortunate for you now. These planets will be traveling between 22 degrees of Sagittarius and eight degrees of Capricorn.

Mars, the planet of force, drive, anger and aggression is opposite Uranus, the planet of the unexpected and change now through December 2, 2019. Guard against your own and other people’s anger and erratic behavior. It may be tough to see someone else’s point of view, but try to remember that no one else on earth sees things exactly like you do. Don’t let yourself get sucked into someone else’s erratic behavior. If you have any points in your birth chart between zero and eight degrees of Taurus and Scorpio this may especially apply to you.

A METEOR OUTBURST COULD HAPPEN THIS WEEK: Get ready for a meteor outburst–maybe. Later this week, Earth will pass by a stream of dusty debris from an unnamed comet. Forecasters believe this could cause an outburst of alpha Monocerotid meteors on Thursday night/Friday morning (Nov. 21-22). Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for the full story and observing tips.

The Leonids are one of the most dazzling meteor showers and every few decades it produces a meteor storm where more than 1,000 meteors can been seen an hour. Cross your fingers for some good luck — the last time the Leonids were that strong was in 2002. Its parent comet is called Comet-Temple/Tuttle and it orbits the sun every 33 years.

The Leonids are active between Nov. 6 and Nov. 30, 2019, the show peaks around Sunday night into Monday morning, or Nov. 17-18.

Mercury Retrograde

October 31, 2019

Mercury went retrograde October 31, 2019 at 9;41 a.m. Central Time.

Like everything in astrology, it is neither good nor bad, but is part of an astrological weather forecast. For more information about Mercury Retrograde:

Meteors from Halley’s Comet

October 21 and 22, 2019

THE ORIONID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. Last night, NASA cameras detected half a dozen Orionid fireballs over the USA–numbers that will increase as the shower reaches its peak on Oct. 21-22. Orionid meteoroids hit Earth’s atmosphere at a sizzling 148,000 mph, faster than almost every other annual shower. This gives them an extra *pop* that’s worth waking up early to see. Visit Spaceweather.com for the full story.

October 20, 2019

Today through October 25 is grand for love, social life, money possessions, career, artistic endeavors, getting rid of what you don’t need and spiritual and psychological growth. Take opportunities to enhance your life in the above areas. The timing is right.

For those of you who want to know why I said that, Venus in Scorpio is sextile Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and trine Neptune, creating a Grand Sextile. Grand sextiles provide grand opportunities. It is up to us to use the planetary energy wisely.

Click on www.blogtalkradio.com/davethemystic to join us and listen to Dave the Mystic and Dianne Lawson talk about the extraordinary astrological influences of 2019 and 2020. If you miss us live, you can later listen to us in the archives.

We will talk about what this time period brings for Trump and the big astrological event of 2019: Pluto, Saturn and the Moon’s South Node all very close together in Capricorn. All three of these astrological points are very karmic and bring to us what we have earned, what we deserve and what need to learn. They help us get rid of what no longer serves our highest good, be it excess weight, negative people or situations, or clutter in our lives or homes.

Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, symbolizes death, birth, elimination, destruction, intensity, weapons of mass destruction, earth upheavals, severe and damaging weather, earthquakes and tornadoes, and transformation. Pluto was in Capricorn during the American and French Revolutions and during the Protestant Reformation!!! Pluto brings huge changes.

Saturn is the great teacher and helps us learn important life lessons. We must do the daily work, but once the lessons are learned, they can be useful the rest of our lives.

The Moon’s South Node is the point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic (apparent path of the Sun) going from north to south. It is seen as where we need to let go of the past and grow into our future.

Years ago, I read what some astrologer called the Pluto-Saturn conjunction: The Magician’s Aspect. Since Pluto is intensity, transformation, and extreme energy, and Saturn is hard work, discipline and perseverance, having these two together can achieve huge accomplishments.

BRIGHT MOON + JUPITER CONJUNCTION: When the sun goes down tonight, August 9, step outside and look south. The waxing gibbous Moon is approaching Jupiter for a beautiful conjunction alongside the red giant star Antares.
BE ALERT FOR PERSEID FIREBALLS: Earth is entering a stream of debris from giant Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Forecasters say the shower won’t peak until Aug. 12-13, but already NASA cameras are catching Perseid fireballs streaking over the USA. The Perseids produce more fireballs than any other annual shower–largely due to the size of the parent comet–so your chances of seeing one are good. From spaceweather.com.

Mercury went retrograde July 7, 2019 at 6:14 p.m. Central Time. It will go direct again July 31, 2019 at 10:57 p.m. Central Time. Of all of the informational emails I send out, if I send out an email about Mercury Retrograde, it always gets opened a lot. Like everything in astrology, it is neither good nor bad, but is part of an astrological weather forecast. For more information about Mercury Retrograde:

Mercury and Mars have been close in the sky and will remain so until July 16, 2019. Since Mercury has a correspondence with communication and transportation and Mars has a correspondence with drive, energy and force, watch out for verbal confrontations and dents in vehicles. It is a great time to have the courage to speak up for what you want and to speak your truth.

July 1, 2019

Lunar eclipse July 16, 2019

The effects of lunar eclipses last about a month and a half before and a month and a half after the actual date of the eclipse, so this one will be in effect for the months of June, July and August 2019. The eclipse will be visible over most of the earth, but not over North America.

The Moon during this eclipse is at 24 degrees of Capricorn, the sign of career and public standing. This is a good time to tackle big projects to move us forward in our careers. The Sun is at 24 degrees of Cancer, the sign of home and family. Family matters can be transformed. If you are not happy with the balance you have in your life regarding the amount of time you are spending on your career and with your family, now is a good time to make corrections.

Everything in life can be seen as an opportunity and as a challenge. We have opportunities these three months to work towards making our careers and family relationships what we want. Challenges because, everything comes with a price, be it time, money or choosing one thing over another. Lunar eclipses are no exception. These three months are good for paying attention to what areas of our lives need changing and then taking action.

The lunar eclipse of July 16, 2019 indicates intense emotions, power struggles and possible jealousy because the Moon is very close in the sky to dwarf planet Pluto. Intense emotions aren’t necessarily bad if they can be channeled to conquer tough projects, instead of obsessing over matters. Pluto so close to this Moon while the Moon is being eclipsed can expose secrets, especially of family members. It can also make us aware of our own and others’ shadow sides.

Pluto is the planet of elimination, transformation and rebirth. These three months are good for letting go of what no longer serves us, be it clutter, bad habits, or negative people.

Another dwarf planet, Eris, is in a stressful square aspect (about 90 degrees) to the Moon and the Sun during this eclipse indicating the possibility of chaos, turmoil and conflict. I believe that any aspect in astrology, even the challenging ones are better than no aspects, as we can use the energy to change what we don’t like in our lives. We need to face our problems head on and make corrections.

If you have points in your birth chart from 19 to 29 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer, you may feel the effect of this eclipse more than other people.

June 28, 2019

The solar eclipse of July 2, 2019 puts an emphasis on home and family, since it is in the sign of Cancer. It will especially affect people who have points in their birth charts from five to 15 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries. Even though this eclipse will not be seen except in the South Pacific and South America, it will have opportunities for everyone.

Astrologers radically differ in how long they think Solar Eclipses last. Based upon my more than 45 years of experience working with clients, I think they last for a few months before to a year after the actual Solar Eclipse. Therefore, this eclipse has already been affecting us for a few months and will continue until July 2020.

Because this eclipse has a nice sextile (is about sixty degrees from) Uranus, this is a good time to try new things, make a fresh start and make your dreams come true. During the eclipse Saturn will be sextile Neptune, indicating your patient hard work will have results you like.

Crises, changes, endings, new beginnings and transformations are words connected to eclipses. Many of us have been experiencing changes in our homes and families during the last few months and many will have turnings points and transformations during the next twelve months.

Changes in the home can mean actual moving, remodeling, redecorating, getting rid of clutter and working in the yard. I know that I have been working in the yard much more than usual because of the excessive rain. I am having a hard time keeping up with weeds and rapid plant growth. For the first time in many years, I hired help to try to keep up with the yard.

Changes in family can mean many things, but this is certainly the time to spend time with family. Work to create the kind of family relationships that you want. Many will discover family secrets or facts that have been hidden.

If our vitality seems low in the days around any Solar Eclipse, it may be because of emotional reasons. The Sun corresponds with vitality, the Moon corresponds with emotions. The Sun being eclipsed by the Moon can mean low energy.

Each of us will experience the eclipses differently, depending upon our individual birth charts and how we choose to use the astrological energy. We always have choices in what life throws at us, and our lives are based upon the choices we have made.

If you know your individual birth chart, see where 10 degrees of Cancer is. That is the degree of this eclipse. The house that the eclipse lands in will give you more information about where changes will occur in your life.

I always include solar eclipses when I talk about your individual yearly chart. Eclipses are just a small part of what we talk about, but they do have an effect upon you. Yearly charts start the day we talk and go through the next twelve months. You can call me at 785.232.2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com to schedule your yearly chart.

Your astrologer who wants you to have an extraordinary life,

Dianne

Play nice!

During June 2019, guard against getting unnecessarily angry and having verbal altercations, especially with family members and people at work. During June 2019, aggressive, angry and energetic Mars is in Cancer. So is Mercury, the planet of communication.

Mars and Mercury are directly opposite Pluto in Capricorn, making this month possibly challenging. Pluto adds emotional intensity to the mix. Pluto often brings hidden things to the surface, things that have been stuffed down and then explode.

We always have choices as to how we act and this planetary configuration does not necessarily have to be bad. If we focus, we can channel our energy positively and work hard around the house and at work. We have extra energy to spend with people we care about.

Some of us, especially those who have planets around 22 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, may be more affected by what is going on in the sky. We may be more aware of hurts, slights and traumas from the past. Pluto helps with transformation, if we are willing to face and deal with our issues.

Today this mix intensifies as the emotional Moon gets in involved and joins Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn. With Mars and Mercury at 22 degrees of Cancer EXACTLY opposite the Moon and Pluto at 22 degrees, this week, especially today, is a day to consciously control where we put our energy.

June 8, 2019

I did it! I did it! You can, too! I saw Jupiter’s Moons looking through my binoculars. Jupiter is relatively close to the Earth, so you can see Jupiter’s four largest moons with binoculars. If you have a small telescope, you can see Jupiter’s cloud belts.

Once a year Jupiter makes its closest approach to the earth and this year it will be on June 12th. Look for Jupiter and its moons during the first two weeks of June.

You should easily be able to find Jupiter in the sky as it will be very bright, about four times brighter than Sirius, the brightest of the stars.

Jupiter is opposite from the Sun in the sky right now. That means you can see Jupiter rising in the East after the Sun goes down. Jupiter will be high in the sky at midnight and going down in the West just before dawn.

The astrology of June, 2019

Wow, June is all about Neptune! Neptune is the planet that has a correspondence with spirituality, non-physical realms, psychic phenomena, dreams, inspiration and idealism. It also has a connection to confusion, drugs, alcohol, medication and deception. It inspires art and creativity. Neptune has several astrological configurations affecting it in June 2019. We can use this Neptunian energy to help us create the kind of lives we want. We can use Neptunian energy positively and avoid possible negative qualities of Neptune.

Jupiter is in a stressful 90 degree aspect with Neptune this month. Neptune enlarges whatever it touches, so you need to guard against deception, both from other people and from yourself. Don’t be over-optimistic or foolhardy. This is true all month, but especially so on June 16, when the Moon is close to Jupiter in the sky.

Saturn is in a pleasant 60 degree aspect with Neptune this month, helping you make your dreams a reality if you do the necessary work. Be true to yourself. This is a good time to make money through artistic endeavors. We can have our intuition be useful.

Mars is in a great 120 degree aspect to Neptune, adding more planetary force and energy to our being able to make goals into reality.

Neptune stations before it turns retrograde this month, adding to its power and influence. Planets appear to slow down and then quit moving through the signs of the zodiac before they start going in apparent backward motion through the signs of the zodiac. Of course, planets don’t really slow down, stop or go backward, but they look as if they do, based upon our relative positions.

The Moon’s North Node is in a fortunate 120 degree aspect to Neptune this month. This is terrific for artists, writers and all creative people. The North Node pulls us towards our future. Some people think the North Node is karmic. Often the North Node symbolizes someone who is helpful to our psychological growth.

This is a good time for prayer, meditation, paying attention to your nighttime dreams and being creative. Be careful of alcohol and drugs, including doctor prescribed drugs. Forewarned is forearmed.

Please share this with anyone you know who may be interested.

June 6, 2019

I talked to two women last week who have been my clients for more than ten years and neither one of them knew I provide horary astrology readings. They have had me do their birth charts and their yearly charts, but not horary astrology charts. I guess I haven’t been getting the word out about horary astrology as much as I should have been.

Horary astrology is great for answering any question. If you have a question about anything, call me. Horary astrology can help. When you ask me a question, I push a button on my computer that says, “Now” and my computer draws a map of the heavens for the exact moment I understood the question. I do not need your birth information, as horary is based entirely upon the time the astrologer understands your question.

Each horary readings lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and is $30. This is usually done over the phone. If you have any question, call me at 785.232.2836 to get the guidance or answers you need.

June 5, 2019

The big astrological event of 2019 is having Pluto, Saturn and the Moon’s South Node all very close together in Capricorn. All three of these astrological points are very karmic and bring to us what we have earned, what we deserve and what need to learn. They help us get rid of what no longer serves our highest good, be it excess weight, negative people or situations, or clutter in our lives or homes.

Saturn is the great teacher and helps us learn important life lessons. We must do the daily work, but once the lessons are learned, they can be useful the rest of our lives.

All three of these points have been considered malefics, but everything can be used for good or bad. We need challenges, or we would never grow. Having all three of these close together indicates challenges. In order to accomplish anything of importance in life, we need to apply massive, sustained effort. Having these three points helps us to have the energy to use massive, sustained effort to accomplish our goals.

Years ago, I read what some astrologer, I don’t remember who, called the Pluto-Saturn conjunction. He called it The Magician’s Aspect. He meant that since Pluto is intensity, transformation, and extreme energy, and Saturn is hard work, discipline and perseverance, having these two together can achieve huge accomplishments.

If we use this planetary energy wisely we can grow and create the kind of lives we want. It is not a time for any of us to slack off.

May 11, 2019

Four people asked me today about astrology and The Bible. Because people continue to be interested in this subject, I am referring you to an article I wrote years ago that explains how astrology helps you understand The Bible. http://diannelawson.com/find_us/astrology-and-the-bible/

Easter 2019

The Meridian Line was commissioned by Pope Clement XI and was completed in 1702.

The purpose of the line was to know when to celebrate Easter.

Many astronomers and many Popes have been astrologers. It was wonderful for me to see this magnificent cathedral that incorporated worship and prayer, art and science and astrology.

Why is Easter so late this year? Even though the vernal equinox was March 20, 2019, and the first full Moon was just a few hours later on March 20, 2019, we did not celebrate Easter on the next Sunday, March 24, 2019, because many years ago a Pope decided that the ecclestiastical fixed date for the vernal equinox was March 21. We, therefore, have to wait until the first Sunday after the first full Moon after the ecclestiastical vernal equinox.

March 28, 2019

Mercury quit going retrograde and started going in forward motion this morning. Planets are retrograde when it seems from our perspective that they are going in backward motion through the signs of the zodiac. Of course, planets never go in backward motion, but it appears so sometimes, based upon our relative positions.

It should be easier to communicate, travel and have machines work now that Mercury is direct. For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/

Mars will enter Gemini early in the morning of March 31, 2019, where it will be until May 15, 2019. Mars in Gemini is a good time to initiate new projects, travel, study, use your intellect and work with your hands. Gemini can be a little scattered, so concentrate on getting the most important tasks done.

March 25, 2019

Now through April 12, 2019, Mercury, the planet of thought, communication and transportation, is very close in the sky to Neptune, the planet of artistic inspiration, spirituality and intuition. This is nice for creativity, artistic pursuits, meditation and being out in nature.

Neptune can be confusing and otherworldly. Situations and people may not be what they seem to be. Don’t take people at face value. Pay more attention to what people do than what they say. Focus while communicating and traveling so that you don’t make any mistakes.

During these days it can be hard to get down to business and focus on what is important. Many people will have unusual dreams and sleep problems. Some will feel they are especially intuitive and are receiving signs from the universe.

Venus, the planet of love, social life, money and possessions, moves into Pisces on March 26, 2019, where she will stay until April 20, 2019. The ancients said that Venus was exalted in Pisces, which means that of all the signs of the zodiac, Venus worked best here.

This is a good time to be with loved ones and schedule social events. It is also a good time to buy clothing and beautiful items. Artistic endeavors can create beautiful items.

Venus in Pisces certainly can be unconditional love. But, I have seen that people often see others through rose-colored glasses during this time. Try to see people as they really are, rather than how you want them to be.

Watch in the next few days for me to send you information about Mercury going direct on March 28, 2019 and Mars going into Gemini on March 31, 2019.

Watch March 7, 2019

Published a book review of my book in its Winter 2019 issue

Extraordinary Relationships through Astrology

By Dianne Y. Lawson

This book is Ms. Lawson’s attempt to explain the process that she goes through as an astrologer, with over 45 years of experience, to answer such questions. The first task for her is to explain what an astrological chart is, and how to find an accurate personal chart for addressing relationships. She does this well, even though the process itself can involve some effort. She emphasizes the use of an accurate astrological chart correctly cast for date, time and place of the native. But even if none is available she offers the use of a solar chart (one done for sunrise on the day of birth) as a fallback.

The focus herein is not on the interpretation of a natal chart, but on the qualities of the fifth and seventh houses as they work in relationships. As she explains, the fifth house is the house of love affairs, and the seventh house is the house of partners, especially marriage partners. Reading through an astrological chart and emphasizing the role of the fifth and seventh houses provides insight and answers about the nature and role of relationships in one’s life.

Astronomy for January 30 and 31, 2019

SET YOUR ALARM FOR DAWN: Awake before sunrise? Step outside and look southeast. The crescent Moon and Venus are converging for a beautiful conjunction on Thursday morning, Jan. 31st–little more than 1^o apart. Jupiter and the red giant star Antares are nearby as well. It’s a great way to begin the day. To see a sky map and photos, go towww.Spaceweather.com. They still look pretty close together on January 30 and are worth a look.

Astrology for January 30 and 31, 2019

Jupiter symbolizes abundance, generosity, good fortune, opportunity, optimism, expansion, higher education and travel. Venus represents harmony, love, social life, money, earnings, possessions and the arts. The Moon represents emotions, home and family.

Put Jupiter, Venus and the Moon together and what do you get? Of course, like always, it depends on many other factors and how they react to your individual birth chart, and what you choose to do, but this is a good time to do things to make you happy. Give or go to classes, be with people you care about, take a trip, enhance your earning capability, go shopping, enjoy the arts, work on your house and contact family members. This can be a feel-good time, so we should make the best of it and grab opportunities for happiness.

Kaw Valley Senior Monthly features me in their February 2019 issue. The article talks about astrology, my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, my new book, Extraordinary Coincidences, an inexplicable coincidence that I had, the Spirit Mind Body Fair and more.

It also tells about how you can help me write the new book by letting me know about your extraordinary coincidences. I am looking for coincidences in people’s lives that are head-scratching, how-in-the-heck-did-that-happen?, or just plain strange.

To see this article, go to Kaw Valley Senior Monthly Feb 2019.

Super Moon-Blood Moon Eclipse January 20-21, 2019

This Sunday evening North and South America will be treated to a Super Moon-Blood Moon Eclipse. A Super Moon means that the Moon is closer to Earth than usual and therefore it looks larger. A Blood Moon means that the Moon will turn reddish during the eclipse.

Astrologically the Moon has a correlation with feelings, home and family. Eclipses often signify changes. There are disagreements among astrologers about how long lunar eclipses last, but many feel that they have an effect just before the eclipse until the next lunar eclipse. The next lunar eclipse will be July 16-17, 2019.

Around the time of this eclipse people may be feeling more emotional, nervous and edgy. It is not a time when people should overreact emotionally.

Since this eclipse happens when the Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Leo, during the next few months it will serve us well to pay attention to how we are balancing our emotional needs for distance and for closeness to others. Are we creating our lives so that both of those competing needs are getting met? Or are we off balance, one way or the other? If so, what do we need to fix? Aquarius needs freedom and Leo wants closeness.

Lunar Eclipses remind us that we should pay attention to our feelings. Our feelings are an excellent barometer as to how well we are navigating through our lives.

We can have extraordinary lives. Our lives mirror the choices we have made. If we are not happy with anything in our lives, we can make new choices.

The following is from timeanddate.com. Topeka is on Central Time.

When the Eclipse Happens Worldwide — Timeline

Lunar eclipses can be visible from everywhere on the night side of the Earth, if the sky is clear. From some places, the entire eclipse will be visible, while in other areas the Moon will rise or set during the eclipse.

Event	UTC Time	Time in Topeka*	Visible in Topeka
Penumbral Eclipse begins	Jan 21 at 02:36:29	Jan 20 at 8:36:29 pm	Yes
Partial Eclipse begins	Jan 21 at 03:33:54	Jan 20 at 9:33:54 pm	Yes
Full Eclipse begins	Jan 21 at 04:41:17	Jan 20 at 10:41:17 pm	Yes
Maximum Eclipse	Jan 21 at 05:12:14	Jan 20 at 11:12:14 pm	Yes
Full Eclipse ends	Jan 21 at 05:43:15	Jan 20 at 11:43:15 pm	Yes
Partial Eclipse ends	Jan 21 at 06:50:39	Jan 21 at 12:50:39 am	Yes
Penumbral Eclipse ends	Jan 21 at 07:48:02	Jan 21 at 1:48:02 am	Yes

* The Moon is above the horizon during this eclipse, so with good weather conditions in Topeka, the entire eclipse is visible.

I hope you have a chance to watch this. It should be spectacular.

Your astrologer,

Dianne Lawson

If you are awake just before dawn, you may see two bright planets shining close to each other in the southeastern sky. They are the Greater Benefic Jupiter and the Lesser Benefic Venus. They are beautiful to look at and will get closer and closer together until January 22, 2019. Then Venus will move faster than Jupiter and move on through the sky.

Astrologically, having the two beneficial planets close together gives us opportunities that we should take. From January 13, 2018 until January 22, 2018, when these two planets conjoin in the sign of the zodiac Sagittarius, it is a good time to start or do anything that expands our horizons. This includes traveling, studying, taking classes, teaching classes, exploring different cultures and working on writing a book. It is a good time to explore, both physically and mentally, and to decide to be happy, regardless of what is going on around us. Pay attention to and grab opportunities.

December 23, 2018

Did you know that on Christmas Day, the heavens actually are telling the story of the birth of Jesus? In astrology, the Sun has a correspondence with children (son.)

On Christmas Day, the heavens symbolize the birth of Jesus. You probably know that Jesus wasn’t really born on Christmas as the shepherds would not be out in their fields on that date.

Did you know that now is the perfect time for astrological help? Help your New Year be as good as it can be with astrology. Is your Yearly Astrological Forecast up to date? Do you have any questions you would like Horary Astrology to answer? If I can be of help to you, please email me at Cappie0113@aol.com or call me at 785.232.2836.

I wish you Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Your astrologer, Dianne

The January 2019 Mension Newletter that goes out to MidAmerica Mensans had a spotlight on my book.

December 13, 2018

METEORS FROM A ROCK COMET: The Geminid meteor shower is underway as Earth enters a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Dec. 13th or 14th with as many as 100 meteors per hour.

More bright Geminids are in the offing. Perhaps because of its gravelly nature, the shower is rich in fireballs–that is, meteors brighter than the planet Venus. Indeed, last night NASA’s network of all-sky meteor cameras captured 23 Geminid fireballs over the United States–numbers that will increase sharply in the nights ahead.

To see the greatest number of Geminids, the best time to look is during the dark hours before dawn when the constellation Gemini is high in the sky. From Spaceweather.com.

December 8, 2018

From time to time, based upon the Earth’s relative position to Mercury, Mercury appears to be going backward through the signs of the Zodiac. This apparent backward motion is called Retrograde. Then, based upon the Earth’s relative position to Mercury, Mercury resumes its apparent forward or Direct motion through the signs of the Zodiac.

Mercury resumed its Direct motion on December 6, 2018 and will remain in Direct motion until March 5, 2019. Since Mercury has a correspondence with communications, travel and machines, these areas of our lives have a potential to move in forward motion, also.

We hear a lot about problems with communications, machines and travel under Mercury Retrograde, but we don’t hear as much about what to do when Mercury is going Direct. To correct that, here is my list of the top 11 things to do under Mercury Direct.

1. Sign contracts

2. Apply for or start a new job

3. Buy new machines, computers or cars

4. Travel

5. Make decisions

6. Communicate with others

7. Take classes

8. Have doctor appointments

9. Submit manuscripts to publishers

10. Find lost objects

11. Move into a new home

As always, there are many, many more planetary happenings affecting us also, but we can use this period to work on Mercury matters now through March 5, 2019.

For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/

November 26, 2018

Mercury symbolizes communication, travel and machines. Mercury has been retrograde from November 16, 2018 until December 5, 2018.

We often hear what to watch out for under Mercury Retrograde, such as the following:

It’s time to take extra care in communicating with others, make sure you do everything you can to make travel uneventful and do what you can to keep your machines in tip-top condition.

Here are the Top 20 things to do during a Mercury Retrograde period:

Develop and listen to your intuition.
Be creative
Change habits and thought patterns that no longer serve you.
Soul search.
Meditate.

Thanksgiving Day, 2018

Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November every year? On the fourth Thursday every year the Sun has moved into the sign of Sagittarius. Jupiter rules, or has a correspondence with, Sagittarius. Jupiter also rules, or has a correspondence with, Thursday. Jupiter, The Greater Benefic, symbolizes gratitude, luck, blessings. We all, whether we are astrologers or not, resonate with our universe.

This is a great day to count our blessings and focus on what we are grateful for. Energy flows where attention goes. Gratitude not only feels good, but it brings into our lives more things to feel good about.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am grateful for you!

Extraordinary Relationships
Through Astrology

Ep. 20 – Shortcut to the Soul Podcast, November 15, 2018.

Join Debra and me as we discuss my new book about how to make your relationships extraordinary by using easy to understand astrological principles. To listen to the podcast, go to https://debraclementastrologer.com/shortcut-to-the-soul.

Debra told me personally that she thought my book was, “one of the best astrology books I have read,” and “it was well organized, very well written, gave sound advice and was extremely helpful.”

I was honored to be on her show as she is a well-known, well-regarded and knowledgeable astrologer and medium. For more information about Debra, you might want to go to her website and look around. She has Freebies about Mercury Retrograde and an astrology newsletter. The following is how she views astrology.

“Every person your soul
promised to meet,
every circumstance it agreed to
experience and every lesson
it came here to learn is written
in a celestial record.
You know it as the horoscope.
I know it as the shortcut to the soul.”

Venus symbolizes love, social life, money, possessions, values, self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. It has been in apparent retrograde motion since October 5, 2018. Planets in retrograde motion appear to us on earth to move backwards through the signs of the zodiac based upon our relative positions. When planets are in retrograde motion, they do not work as directly as they do when they are in forward motion. Venus goes direct November 16, 2018 at 4:50 a.m. Central Time. It should be somewhat easier to deal with people, obtain quality possessions and enhance our self-worth.

For more information about Venus and its cycle, go to the October 3, 2018 entry of

Mercury symbolizes communication and travel. On November 16, 2018 at 7:33 p.m. Central Time, Mercury goes retrograde until December 5, 2018. It’s time to take extra care in communicating with others and make sure you do everything you can to make travel uneventful.

Mensa Bulletin The Magazine of American Mensa, November/December 2018 issue, published the following book review of Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology.

Bad news and good news.

The bad news is that the Spirit Mind Body Fair that had been scheduled for November 3 and 4, 2018 has been cancelled. The fair committee does plan to have a fair March 2 and 3, 2019.

The good news is that because I had blocked off those dates to be in the fair, I now have some time to schedule an appointment with you for November 3, 2018. Call me at 785-232-2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com to schedule an appointment with me for a birth chart, a yearly forecast or a horary question.

Karen Tate says she “talks about all the stuff Mom taught you to NEVER discuss at the dinner table- sex, religion, power and politics.” She was named one of the Top 13 Most Influential Women in Goddess Spirituality. I was on her The Sacred Feminine Radio Show. The first half of the show we talked about my forecasts about whether or not Trump would go to jail or be impeached, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, our country and nuclear war. The second half we talked about how to have extraordinary relationships, including watching out for red flags, what are planetary antidotes and how knowing about adult astrological cycles can help you.

METEORS FROM HALLEY’S COMET: Right now, specks of dust from Halley’s comet are disintegrating in Earth’s atmosphere, kicking off the annual Orionid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak this weekend with 20+ meteors per hour emerging from the constellation Orion. The nearly full Moon could reduce visibility, but it is possible to avoid the glare if you look at the right time. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for sky maps and observing tips.

The Progressed Horoscope: How Your Life Unfolds

Your progressed horoscope is one of the tools that I and other good astrologers use for forecasting trends in your life. Maria DeSimone and I talked about the progressed horoscope on her podcast, Episode 57: The Progressed Horoscope: How Your Life Unfolds, www.insightfulastrology.com. This is not for everyone as the concepts we talk about are hard to grasp unless you know the basics of astrology. This podcast is geared for intermediate and advanced astrology students. Maria is a great astrologer and we had a marvelous time talking about this subject. If you want to understand progressions better, this podcast is for you. I explain what progressions are and we talk about how to use them, giving examples and also helping two women with current issues in their lives.

You can still listen to Maria and me talking about relationships and my book in Episode 42: Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology.

You can find these episodes on www.insightfulastrology.com.

Venus symbolizes love, social life, money, possessions, values, self-esteem and feelings of self-worth.

Retrograde planets are planets that appear to us on earth to moving backwards through the signs of the zodiac, based upon our relative positions. When planets are in retrograde motion they do not work as directly as they do in forward motion. They give us an opportunity to review and revise matters of the planet involved.

Venus moves into retrograde motion October 5, 2018, and it remains in retrograde motion until November 16, 2018. The effects of this retrograde started September 3, 2018 and will last until December 17, 2018. Venus is in retrograde motion less frequently than any other planet because it is the closest planet to Earth.

So what does Venus Retrograde mean for us? A traditional saying is that an old love will return. Fortunately for most of us, that is probably not going to happen. It is not a good time to become married or engaged. Astrology is all about beginnings, remember.

It is a good time to reevaluate the people we have in our lives and to spend time with people who have stood the test of time and are adding benefit to our lives. It’s a great time to take some time to make sure that our time and money are spent on things, events and people that reflect our true values.

It is a good time to go over our finances and see if we are spending money wisely. It is also a good time to see how we are attracting money to us. It is not a good time to buy expensive possessions unless we have to and unless we have carefully checked out if they are a good value and we have the money to buy them. It is a good time to remodel and to get rid of what is cluttering up our surroundings.

It is a good time to reflect on our feelings of self-esteem and self-worth and see that we are not harboring old feelings from the past that do not reflect who we truly are. If we are not seeing ourselves as wonderful, it is probably because of old tapes from the past that should be discarded now. Many of us are still carrying around very old baggage of what our parents, relatives or classmates said about us years ago.

As always, there are many, many, many other planetary happenings during this time which also will be affecting the planetary weather. This is just one piece that may help us navigate through our lives to make them extraordinary.

Mars Direct, Money Frogs and a Heads Up

1. Mars has completed its retrograde motion and now is going forward through the signs of the zodiac. It will remain in forward motion until September 2020. Mars has a correspondence with energy, drive, force, aggression, assertiveness, anger, initiative, action and selfishness. It should be easier to take action and see results. Now is the time to

Take action

Be brave

Be energetic

Take up new sports or exercises

Be assertive

Start new projects

Guard against being foolhardy

Guard against anger, yours, as well as other people’s

Guard against being selfish

2. Now through the end of this month if you schedule or have an appointment with me for a birth or a yearly chart, I will give you a free money frog with instructions on how to use it.

3. Heads up! You may want to put on your calendar that the Lawrence Metaphysical Fair will be

August 26, 2018

This weekend has four temporary, but strong, astrological configurations. It is up to us how we plan to use the planetary weather forecast.

Full Moon in Pisces means we might be extra emotional. One of my mantras during times like this is, “This, too, shall pass,” and I try not to pay too much attention to my fleeting emotions.
Mercury squaring (about 90 degrees from) Jupiter could mean verbal squabbles and not quite being able to meet our obligations. We can be extra careful while communicating and trying harder to do what we plan to do.
Venus, the planet of relationships, squaring Pluto, a planet of intensity, brings possible jealousy, manipulation and power struggles. We need to learn moderation and try to get to the root of issues. If relationships are hard, we can do our part to not add to the intensity.
A Grand Trine in Earth signs—the Sun in Virgo, Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. A Grand Trine is when three planets are each about 120 degrees from two others, forming a triangle. Grand Trines equal opportunities, but it is up to us whether or not we grab the opportunities. Earth signs are practical and deal well with the physical world. I, for one, plan on cleaning up my house, working on my career and balancing my checkbooks.

August 19, 2018

Many people have been asking me when the Mercury Retrograde period will end. Mercury has looked as if it were moving backwards through the signs of the zodiac, making some areas of our lives more difficult than usual. Of course, Mercury never really goes backwards, but it looks like it from our perspective, based upon the relative positions of Earth and Mercury.

Mercury quit going retrograde and started going in forward motion early this morning.

Mercury has a lot of effect on our daily lives. It does not bring about great changes as the outer planets do, but it is important for daily communications, transportations and how our machines are operating.

It should be easier to communicate, travel and have machines work now that Mercury is travelling in forward motion.

When I make long-distance trips, especially to foreign countries, I always pick a time when Mercury is going in direct motion. I will also start heavily promoting my book now, as I will have a more favorable response and my communications will be better.

Mercury will not make everything positive in the above mentioned areas, but it can be helpful. Mercury is important, but is just a very small part of how astrology may be affecting you. Your yearly chart includes so much more that it takes me about an hour to tell you all about it. If you want a yearly chart from me, telling you how YOUR astrology will affect you for the next twelve months, let me know by calling me at 785-232-2836 or emailing me at Cappie0113@aol.com.

Your astrologer who wants you to have an extraordinary life,

3 pieces of good news

There are 360 degrees in the zodiac. For one planet to be at or about 120 degrees from another is called a trine and is considered to be easy and fortunate. Today, Jupiter, the Great Benefic, the largest of the planets and the planet considered to be the luckiest, the planet of expansion, growth and the search for knowledge, is exactly, to the degree, 120 degrees from Neptune, the planet of spirituality, artistic pursuits and service. It will remain in this aspect until September 22, 2018. Now it is the time to work on your spiritual and psychological growth, art and service to others. Watch for opportunities in these areas.
Saturn is trine Uranus, exactly that fortunate 120 degrees, and will be in this aspect until November 10, 2018. Saturn is the planet of discipline and karma. Uranus is the planet of the unexpected, technology and unconventionality. Joining these two energies together by working hard in ways you haven’t done before can reap big results.
To thank you and to let you know you are important to me, I will give you a free money frog with instructions on how to use it, if you schedule or have a one-hour consultation with me for a birth chart or a yearly chart before August 31, 2018. By the way, you can never have too many money frogs; my house has four.

Six!!! planets retrograde now through August 18, 2018! This rare event has not happened in more than a decade. Planets are retrograde when they appear to be moving backward through the signs of the zodiac, based upon their relative position to earth.

There is an ebb and flow to life and retrograde planets are ebbing. We need ebb just as much as we need flow. We need a time to rethink, readjust and make plans. Everything can be used for good. Sometimes it seems that when planets are retrograde it takes longer to get what we want. We need to keep on living our lives and making adjustments to make our lives better. Retrogrades are not to be feared. They are needed, and we can improve our lives to make them more like we want under retrograde times.

Mercury Retrograde is a time to rethink, plan and be thoughtful. For more information about Mercury Retrograde, go to www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Mars Retrograde is good for planning, finishing tasks and not acting impulsively.

Saturn Retrograde is a good time to review how we spend our time. Are we using our time wisely and on things that really matter to us?

Uranus Retrograde is a time to make necessary changes in our lives to have our lives mirror our ideals. Are we being with people who are helpful to us or detrimental? Are we working towards our most cherished goals?

Neptune Retrograde is an excellent time for self-evaluation. Are we being kind and living up to our spiritual ideals?

Pluto Retrograde is good for assessing how we deal with our personal power and transformation.

As always, remember that our lives are the result of choices we have made. Retrograde times help us reevaluate our lives and see if the choices we are making are good for us.

There is a Solar Eclipse on August 11, 2018 in Leo, the sign that corresponds with love, creativity and generosity. We are given opportunities to become more loving of self, as well as others. If your life lacks zing, it may be because you are not being loving enough, or that you are not using your creative gifts. Many will be aware of what they think is a lack of love in their lives. Our lives are made up of choices we have made, and we always have chances to make better choices. If we do not have enough love in our lives, we need to look at what we can do to improve our lives. Becoming more generous to ourselves and to others enhances our lives. What goes around, comes around.

Astrologers radically differ in how long they think Solar Eclipses last. Based upon my more than 45 years of experience talking with clients, I think they last for a few months before to a year after the actual Solar Eclipse.

Crises, changes, endings, new beginnings and transformations are words connected to eclipses. Many of us have been experiencing changes during the last few months and many will have turnings points and transformations during the next twelve months.

The July 12, 2018 Solar Eclipse still has an effect on us. It was in the sign of Cancer, the sign of home, family, security and emotions. This eclipse was opposite Pluto, the planet of intensity, explosions, mass destruction and earth changes. We need to try to keep the intensity in our lives down, especially in our emotions and in our relationships with others. Having Pluto opposite the eclipse can mean that others may not be able to hear your point of view. Sometimes it is better just to keep quiet, as emotions can be high.

There was a Lunar Eclipse July 27, 2018. Lunar Eclipses intensify emotions and intuitions for about a month before and a month after the eclipse. Try to keep your emotions in check. Pay attention to your intuition.

During Lunar Eclipses we are more aware of shadow selves, both of ourselves and of others. You may become aware of hidden parts of yourself that come to the surface of awareness. You may also become aware of negative parts of yourself and others.

This Lunar Eclipse was in the sign Aquarius, making us aware of our need for independence, freedom and individuality. It is not a good time to try to get others to change their minds, and you certainly don’t want anyone to tell you what to do or how to think.

Lunar Eclipses affect different people differently according to which part of their charts the eclipse is in. Astrologers differ in how long they think eclipses last. I think Lunar Eclipses last for about a month before and a month after the eclipse.

I always include eclipses when I talk about your individual yearly chart. Eclipses are just a small part of what we talk about, but they do have an effect upon you. Yearly charts start the day we talk and go through the next twelve months. You can call me at 785.232.2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com to schedule your yearly chart.

Chiron entered Aries this year, bringing in a feeling of revolution, emancipation and healing of wounds. Aries is a sign that desires freedom, hates restriction and is pioneering. We want the right to be ourselves. Chiron, called the wounded healer, wants to help us heal our wounds, both collectively and individually.

The best predictor of the future is often the past. It can help us to understand how Chiron will affect us by looking at the last two times Chiron was in Aries. From 1968 through 1977, we had the sexual revolution, women’s liberation, black power movement and great uproar about changes needed in how different groups of people were treated.

From 1918 through 1927, we had the roaring twenties, the suffragette movement and women over 30 won the right to vote. It was shocking when women started showing bare arms and legs and smoked in public, especially after a very short time before, they were not allowed to show ankles.

Now we have the Me Too movement and the awareness of needing gender equality. It will be interesting to watch to see how people will be demanding to be treated without the restrictions of the past.

Individually, we will hate to be restricted or controlled by other people or their expectations. We will want to heal our past wounds. It is a good time to be in therapy or talk to an astrologer about understanding our past wounds. Our wounds need to be understood and recognized before they can be healed.

Chiron is considered both to be a minor planet and a comet, having the characteristics of each. It orbits between Saturn and Uranus. In Greek mythology it was the wisest of all of the centaurs and was a master of healing and astrology.

Chiron entered Aries April 17, 2018. It will retrograde into Pisces on September 25, 2018 and then enter Aries again February 18, 2019, where it will remain until 2027. I think that this entire period of 2018 through 2027 will have the influence of Chiron in Aries and it will not abruptly change as the signs change. Chiron is slow moving and the initial change into Aries creates the Age of Chiron in Aries. Now is the time to express our individuality and truly be ourselves.

PERSEID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of debris from giant comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, parent of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Although the shower is not expected to peak until next weekend, NASA all-sky cameras are already detecting dozens of Perseid fireballs every night over the USA. This early activity may be a good omen for the nights ahead, especially Aug. 11th-13th when Earth is expected to pass through the densest part of the comet’s debris zone. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information and observing tips.

Top 20 things to do during a Mercury Retrograde period

July 26 at 10:09 AM ·

Dianne, do you have a top 10 list of important things to do during Mercury retrograde? I don’t mean a list of things to avoid, but things that would be beneficial and life changing?

Trish Williams You can be more in tune with subconscious mind, so good time to develop intuition, be creative, change habits and thought patterns, do soul searching and meditation, etc. Also the focus should be more on tying up loose ends and finishing projects rather than starting new, be sure to address anything that’s been neglected (communications with people, computers, cars, etc.). That’s all I got lol, is that 10? Also heard it’s a good time to find lost items.

Beth is a friend of mine who keeps me on my toes. Trish is my daughter who is an exceptional astrologer and gave me permission to steal her ideas for my Top 10 things to do during Mercury Retrograde.

From my website, http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/

When Mercury is retrograde, it is a good time to renew, revise, refurbish, rethink, reorganize, reflect, redo and get rid of anything that no longer serves you. As a Feng Shui consultant, I am always happy when the planets are helping us get rid of clutter. When Mercury is retrograde, it is also a good time to complete long overdue tasks. Many people have a heightened sense of inner awareness. This is a great time to resolve old conflicts, re-evaluate your thought patterns and fix problems that have been hanging on for a while.

Lunar Eclipse today, July 27, 2018

Even though people in the United States will not be able to see the eclipse, it is still astrologically significant to everyone on earth, whether or not they can see it. Lunar Eclipses intensify emotions and intuitions for about a month before and a month after the eclipse. Try to keep your emotions in check. Pay attention to your intuition.

This Lunar Eclipse is in the sign Aquarius, making us aware of our need for independence, freedom and individuality. It is not a good time to try to get others to change their minds, and you certainly don’t want anyone to tell you what to do or how to think. It is a good time to be true to ourselves.

This Lunar Eclipse is very close to Mars, intensifying anger, conflict and aggression. It is also squaring (about 90 degrees from) Uranus, the planet that is erratic and unpredictable. Of course, the Sun has to be opposite the Moon for an eclipse to happen, so these points form a T-square in the sky, indicating that people may be emotional, angry and erratic. Guard against accidents of all kinds and don’t take unnecessary or foolish risks. Don’t overreact. With the North Node on the Sun and the South Node on the Moon, many astrologers think that this eclipse is karmic and brings lessons to be learned. (The Nodes are the point of the zodiac where the Moon crosses out of south latitude into north latitude and vice versa.) Lessons are great as they can help us improve and create extraordinary lives.

Lunar Eclipses affect different people differently according to which part of their charts the eclipse is in. I include this eclipse when I talk to clients about their yearly charts. This eclipse will especially have an effect upon people who have points in their birth charts between 7 and 17 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. As it is part of the general astrological pattern, even if it doesn’t have a big effect on us personally, it will be affecting the world as a whole.

With eclipses, as with everything in astrology, it is up to us what we do with them. I can quickly think of times when the clouds and winds were pouring buckets of rain every which way at us at Stonehenge, or when it was 108 degrees in Egypt when my husband and I were having absolutely fantastic times. He was prepared and gave me a rain poncho and bought me an umbrella and we were absolutely delighted with everything, including the English weather because of where we were. In Egypt, the high temperature was just part of the experience and we were exploring temples in the Valley of the Kings. I had a cold shirt and linen pants and lots of sun screen and bottled water.

Weather forecasts help us be prepared and so do astrological forecasts. We can have great times in lots of kinds of weather, both meteorological and astrological. Preparation and positive attitudes help.

July 25, 2018

Mercury goes retrograde today. Of all of the informational emails I send out, if I send out an email about Mercury Retrograde, it always gets opened a lot. Like everything in astrology, it is neither good nor bad, but is part of an astrological weather forecast. For more information about how this might affect you, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Mercury Retrograde is important, but is just a very small part of how astrology may be affecting you. Your yearly chart includes so much more that it takes me about an hour to tell you all about it.

The page on my website about astrology and the Bible has been having a lot of people looking at it for the last several months. I am not sure why there has been such a big increase in people looking at it, but since there has been, I thought that people who receive my emails might like to see what the interest is all about. Here is the link to read what I previously had published in HOROSCOPE magazine about Unlocking the Bible’s Secret Astrological Code.

Sky watchers delight!

All of the visible planets are above the horizon in the evening sky about 9:45 p.m., tonight through August 8, 2018. If you want to see them, it is best to go to a high place, so you can see the horizon. The darker the sky, the father you can get away from city lights, the easier to see the planets. Planets look different from stars, as stars twinkle and planets do not. Planets, like the Moon, shine because of reflected light from the sun.

Mars, the red planet is rising on the eastern horizon. This month it is the brightest it will be for the next 17 years. Low in the southeast is Saturn. Jupiter is just a little west of your right if you are facing south. Venus is next, low in the west. Mercury is above the western horizon early in the evening, but is lost in the Sun’s glare. Because Mercury is never more than 48 degrees from the south it is usually obscured by the Sun’s rays and is seldom seen.

VENUS-MOON CONJUNCTION: When the sun goes down tonight, July 15th, step outside and look west. The crescent Moon is passing by Venus, forming a tight conjunction in the sunset sky. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for observing tips, sky maps, and photos.

Astrologically, this conjunction is good for being around friends and loved ones and enjoying art, music and nature. Because this conjunction is in the sign of Virgo, this is good time to work on art projects and making your surroundings more beautiful and orderly.

Solar Eclipse July 12, 2018!

A Lunar Eclipse and another Solar Eclipse coming!

Today’s Solar Eclipse is in the sign of Cancer, the sign of home, family, security and emotions. This eclipse is opposite Pluto, the planet of intensity, explosions, mass destruction and earth changes. We need to try to keep the intensity in our lives down, especially in our emotions and in our relationships with others. Having Pluto opposite the eclipse can mean that others may not be able to hear your point of view. Sometimes it is better just to keep quiet, as emotions can be high.

There is a Lunar Eclipse July 27, 2018. Lunar Eclipses intensify emotions and intuitions for about a month before and a month after the eclipse. Try to keep your emotions in check. Pay attention to your intuition.
During Lunar Eclipses we are more aware of shadow selves, both of ourselves and of others. You may become aware of hidden parts of yourself that come to the surface of awareness. You may also become aware of negative parts of yourself and others.

There is another Solar Eclipse on August 11, 2018 in Leo, the sign that corresponds with love, creativity and generosity. We are given opportunities to become more loving of self, as well as others. If your life lacks zing, it may be because you are not being loving enough, or that you are not using your creative gifts. Once again, I think Solar Eclipses last for a few months before to a year after the Solar Eclipse.

Your astrologer who wants you to have an extraordinary life,

We have been in the shadow period of Mercury Retrograde since July 7, 2018, and will be in the retrograde period starting July 25, 2018. For more information about this, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

A lot of astrologers, myself included, have talked pretty negatively about the shadow period and Mercury Retrograde. Yes, there may be more challenges in certain areas of our lives during these times, but there can also be positive benefits. So, I have a positive story to tell you about what happened to me under a Mercury Retrograde period.

I applied for a job while Mercury was going retrograde, was hired, but then in three months, the position was done away with. This sounds like something that might happen under this astrological phenomemem. Did this turn out badly for me? No, it turned out great.

I knew I needed to get out of a place that was a horrible place to work and I didn’t care if Mercury Retrograde was in effect when I applied for a new job. I also knew that the timing in my individual yearly chart was positive for me in career matters.

The new job was as an adoption worker for Catholic Community Services. It was a great job that I loved for three months. After three months, Catholic Charities quit providing adoption services throughout the entire state of Kansas, so all of the adoption social workers no longer had jobs. Immediately after I was told that we no longer had jobs, I was told that I, of all the adoption social workers in the state, was offered a new job that was created just for me. It was a great job and including my writing for the Kansas City Archdiocese. Within a week of the new job, I found out that my former children who were up for adoption were moving to Lutheran Social Services. I applied for that position, was hired by a former boss who liked me. So within about three months I was offered and given three new jobs, making me feel good about myself. All three new jobs were fun and wonderful. That first job that was started under a Mercury Retrograde got me out of a horrible work situation, gave me a new job I loved, and started the process of having three separate bosses tell me they wanted me to work for them. It was a great time for me and really stroked my ego. Mercury Retrograde indicated a possible change, but not necessarily a bad change.

Yes, Mercury Retrograde matters, but keep in mind that this period is just one of many things that astrologers look at. We pay attention to the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the Moon’s Nodes and Eclipses. Not only do we look at whether these objects are retrograde or in direct motion, but we look what sign of the zodiac they are in, and what angular positions they are in relation to each other. And that is just some of what we look at when we talk to people about their yearly charts.

So don’t worry about a Mercury Retrograde, but do plan for it. And remember, that I have had many challenging trips under a Mercury Retrograde, but I have always been glad I took those trips. And the last trip my husband and I took was to Egypt, and it took us three days to get home to Topeka, Kansas from Aswan, Egypt. And Mercury was in direct motion, not retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde is important but is just a very small part of how astrology may be affecting you. Your yearly chart includes so much more that it takes me about an hour to tell you all about it. If you want a yearly chart from me, telling you how YOUR astrology will affect you for the next twelve months, let me know by calling me at 785-232-2836 or emailing me at Cappie0113@aol.com.

On Tuesday, July 10, 2018, at 1 p.m. Central Time, I will be talking about what I do as an astrologer on a live interview on a business radio show. I hope to inspire others while telling my story and I hope you can listen in.

The interview will be brief and will be on http://www.abmfm.com/studio2 and https://tunein.com/radio/All-Business-Media-Nationwide-s281640/ and can be heard live the day of the show, and then later on their website.

Don’t confuse this show with me being on Suzane Northrop’s radio show on Monday, July 9, 2018 at 5 p.m.Central Time,http://www.blogtalkradio.com/suzanenorthrop or stream it from the archives after the show airs. We will be talking about relationships, my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, astrology and whatever else comes up.

If you miss these shows, I plan on adding them to the other shows I have been on at the media button on my website.

I am very excited because I will be on Suzane Northrop’s radio show on Monday, July 9, 2018, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Central Time. You can hear us live by clicking on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/suzanenorthrop or stream it from the archives after the show airs. We will be talking about relationships, my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, astrology and whatever else comes up.

If you don’t know who she is, the following is from Wikipedia. She is an interesting person who knows about many spiritual matters, including astrology.

Suzane Northrop (born in 1948) in Corning, New York, is an author, radio and television personality and professional medium. She is best known for her TV show The Afterlife and her book “Everything Happens For A Reason.”

The daughter of an Irish-English-Native American farming family in upstate New York, Northrop claims to have first discovered her ability to connect with those in the spirit world when she was 5, but was most powerfully moved when her deceased grandmother visited her at the age of 13 after passing from colon cancer.

Northrop purports that our consciousness, soul, and spirit continues on beyond the physical realm when we die. She also states that those who have passed over to the spirit world do not continue to experience the psychical, mental or emotional pain we perceive in the physical realm. Those memories or experiences do not exist in the soul process.

Northrop participated in an experiment performed by Gary Schwartz called “The Afterlife Experiments.” In the experiments, she scored highest in accuracy among all participants. The experiments were the subject of a HBO special of the same name and Schwartz’s book, The Afterlife Experiments.

THE MOON VISITS MARS: Tonight, the gibbous Moon is passing by Mars, forming a heavenly duo in the constellation Capricornus. With Mars approaching Earth for a 15-year close encounter in late July, the Red Planet has become one of the brightest objects in the night sky. Its distinctive rusty hue is easy to see even in bright moonlight. Visit Spaceweather.com for sky maps and observing tips.

MARS!!! Hot summer!

1. What Mars represents

Mars is the planet that corresponds with anger, aggression, drive and energy. This summer has has so much Mars energy, as I am sure you already know if you are aware of the news and are on Facebook.

2. What Mars is doing this summer

Mars is close to the earth, has slowed down and is going retrograde today, is out of bounds this summer and is conjunct the Moon’s South Node.

Mars being close to the earth makes it brighter when we see it in the night sky and often seems to intensify on earth what Mars represents.

Planets slow down before they go retrograde and seem to have more of an influence during the period of slowing down and then stopping its path through the signs of the zodiac. Of course, Mars does not really slow down or go backwards, but he appears to do that to us on earth as we watch him go through the signs of the zodiac.

While Mars is slowing down and then retrograde, issues from the past may resurface. This can be dismaying if we thought we have solved them and then again find ourselves angry. While retrograde, it may seem at times that we have to take two steps forward and one step back. We have to expect frustration and know that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things just don’t get done as quickly as we would like. Mars will be retrograde until August 26, 2018, when it stops and then turns slowly around and goes in forward motion again through the signs of the zodiac.

While Mars is out of bounds (outside the 23 degree apparent path of the sun), it is harder to keep it in control.

Mars conjunct (very close to) the Moon’s South Node is a karmic aspect, both personally and collectively. The nodes are where the Moon crosses the apparent path of the Sun. It is important we individually and collectively use our energies to our highest good and for the highest good of others. Showing anger towards others or towards ourselves will not work out well.

3. How we can best work with Mars energy

Be patient. With others and with yourself. Be willing to use your energies for the good of others and yourself. Don’t waste your energies on mindless and frivolous pursuits. Bite your tongue. Don’t respond to angry posts on Facebook. Think before you act. Take your time to make major decisions. Be willing to wait until conditions are right. Remember that being angry usually doesn’t help the situation unless the anger is thoughtfully directed in a positive way. Use this summer to mend past hurts, deal with issues from the past, and don’t expect others to think exactly like do or like you think they should. Focus on your own thoughts, words and deeds. Because Mars symbolizes energy, we can focus our efforts and get much done.

There are two solar eclipses this summer. I will write about them soon, so watch for my emails.

Your astrologer who always wants the best for you and wants you to have an extraordinary life,

Uranus in Taurus

The most important astrological change this year?

For hints on what may happen, although of all the planets Uranus is the most unpredictable, let’s look at what happened when Uranus was last in Taurus—June 6, 1934 through May 15, 1942. President Franklin Roosevelt, started the New Deal, changing how government interacted in the lives of people. There was regulation of banks and WPA creating buildings, bridges and intra-structure. Social Security began in 1935. Wars, including the beginning of World War II, created changes in the borders of countries. Many Americans took up farming, having Victory Gardens. The drought permanently changed how Americans farmed.

MARS OUTSHINES SIRIUS: Mars is approaching Earth for an almost once-in-a-generation close encounter in late July. This week, the brightness of Mars surpassed that of Sirius, making the Red Planet brighter than any star in the sky. If you wake up before dawn, you can’t help noticing Mars burning through the morning twilight with a distinctive orange glow–and the show is about to get much better, indeed. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for the full story.

See the wonderful astrologer Janet Hickox and me talk about astrology, relationships, and my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/livingastrology/2018/05/31/extraordinary-relationships-through-astrology–interview-with-dianne-lawson.

June 1, 2018

Wonderful opportunities until June 7, 2018 for healing emotions, confronting and transforming hurts, getting rid of clutter (things and people), using intuition, being with people you care about, and creating beauty. It is a good time to enhance your money and possessions. Now until June 7, 2018, a beautiful Grand Trine in water signs is in the sky. A Grand Trine is when one planet is about 120 degrees from another planet, that second planet is about 120 degrees from a third planet, and the third planet is about 120 degrees from the first planet. This is, of course, as seen from Earth. Trines are opportunities and ease. A Grand Trine really intensifies pleasant opportunities. Water signs deal with emotions and intuitions.

The planets involved in this wonderful Grand Trine are Venus, the planet of beauty, love, social life, money and possessions; Neptune, the planet of unconditional love and romance; and Jupiter, the planet of opportunities and blessings. Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches. The signs of the zodiac those planets are in are Cancer (home and family), Scorpio (transformation) and Pisces (unconditional love.) Grand Trines indicate opportunities; it is up to us to grab them. Take advantage of any opportunities you have in any of the areas I mentioned above.

And then, another planetary configuration lasts until June 10, 2018, making relationships intense and maybe even filled with drama. Venus, the planet of love, relationships, money and possessions is opposite, about 180 degrees from, Pluto, the planet of intensity, transformation and healing. When planets are opposite each other, there is a lot of planetary energy and the potential for not being able to see others’ points of views. We can use this energy positively, if we choose. We can direct our energies into demanding pursuits. We can also be open to the fact that our ways of looking at something may not be the only valid way of looking.

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 31, 2018, at 11 a.m. EDT, 10 a.m. CDT, 9 a.m. MDT and 8 a.m. PDT, I will be on Janet Hickox’s show, talking about astrology and relationships.

My husband, John, and I had a spectacular trip to Egypt this month. One of my favorite parts of the trip was that we went inside The Great Pyramid to the King’s Chamber. We saw huge numbers of monuments, temples and tombs, spent a day and a night floating down the Nile on a felucca, rode camels, spent the night in a sleeper railroad car and much, much more. Great time! This was our fifth continent in which we have traveled together.

I haven’t posted for awhile because of the trip, and since I’ve been back, I have been slammed with requests for charts. When I get caught up, I will again be posting.

Chris Flisher and I had a great time talking about extraordinary relationships. Chris is a well-known, popular and knowledgeable astrologer. He has been doing podcasts since 2007, his podcasts go out to a wide variety of places and have been downloaded more than 500,000 times. His listeners have an understanding of astrology, so this podcast is for people who know at least the basics of astrology.

To listen to Chris Flisher and me talk about Extraordinary Relationships, go to ://www.turningofthewheel.com/spiritual_adventure/radio_archives.html.

As an astrologer since 1973, I have seen so many people suffer because of relationships, either ones they had, or the fact that they wanted one, but didn’t have one. If only people could know what astrology has to say to them. That is why I have spent decades, editing, editing and reediting this book, so that people could be helped to have extraordinary relationships. And the book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, has been published!

I want people to know that the whole heavens are wanting to help them. If you want to find, keep and have an extraordinary relationship, then this book was written for you. You will be guided step by step in finding the answers that you want. This book is real astrology and offers real results.

Here is a direct link, so you can buy the book:

Go for it!

April 15, 2008 has two planetary happenings that you can use to your advantage. There is a New Moon in Aries and Mercury is going direct.

With the New Moon is Aries it is an excellent time to consciously plan how to use this fresh, new and exciting energy to start new projects and energetically work on important goals. All New Moons are times to set intentions, but the Aries New Moon starts the astrological New Year, as Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It is a good time to set intentions for the next twelve months. A fire sign, Aries is full of passion. A cardinal sign, Aries is good at initiating new projects.

This New Moon is close to Uranus, the planet of unpredictability and change. Uranus is exciting. Go places you have never been before and do things you have never done before. Everyone needs new variety in their lives. With Uranus, we cannot predict what will happen, but we can be open to change and willingly make necessary changes.

You can probably feel the new energy in the air. Many people have the urge to spring-clean their homes and garages, clean up their yards and plant new plants in their gardens.

I have written many times about Mercury Retrograde and when it is going direct. If you have not seen, or want a refresher on this subject, see: http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/
It will be a little easier now to get things done for the next several weeks, now that Mercury is no longer going retrograde.

There are challenging astrological aspects going on now that I am not addressing, but now is the time to take charge of our lives and set our intentions for the next twelve months and start working toward achieving them. We can waste this energy struggling ineffectively to accomplish our goals or we can work effectively with them. The choice is ours. In astrology, I do not believe in causation, but I do believe there is a connection and a correlation.

What is your intention for the astrological New Year? I encourage you to write your goal down so that it is specific. I say all the time that an intention or goal that is not written down is just a wish. If you would like, go to my Facebook Astrology page, www.Facebook.com/AstrologerDianneLawson,
and share with others your intention for your future.

When the Sun is going down this evening, go outside where you can see the western horizon. Venus, Mercury and the Moon will be close together, looking stunning in the evening sky. It is rare to see Mercury and this will be a good time to see it. Venus, of course, is the brightest object in the sky, after the Sun and the Moon. You can tell Mercury because it, like all planets, but not stars, does not twinkle. For more information about this and other celestial occurrences, you can go to spaceweather.com.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

With the Moon, Venus, Mercury and Uranus all in Aries, and Mars, Saturn and Pluto all in Capricorn, there is a preponderance of planetary in Cardinal Signs. The Cardinal signs of the zodiac are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Cardinal signs have the capacity to get projects started and initiate what needs to get done. We should use this Cardinal energy to tackle hard tasks or tasks we have been putting off. Planets are constantly moving in and out of signs, but all of the above will be in Cardinal signs until the very end of March, and some for much longer.

I love Mars in Capricorn. Mars is the planet of action, energy, force and drive. Capricorn is hard work, stamina and career. Astrologers say that Mars is exalted in Capricorn, which means it is the best place for it. I am very biased about this planetary position, as I have it in my birth chart. I have always thought it helps focus my drive and helps me jump in and get work done when needed.

Now through the end of the month, at least, is a great time to buckle down and get to work on our most wanted goals. Get going!

The Greater Benefic, Jupiter, is the planet of luck, good fortune, optimism, travel, publishing and higher education. When Jupiter returns to the same place in the zodiac that it was at your birth, it is called the Jupiter Return. Jupiter is exactly on the same degree of the zodiac now as it was on my birth. My Jupiter Return brought me booking a trip to Egypt and a book published! Both were dreams long coming and they happened when Jupiter returned to the exactly degree and minute that it was at my birth chart. And I am planning to have classes based upon my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology. Astrology works! Timing is everything.

February 18, 2018

With the Sun moving into the sign of Pisces today, joining Mercury, Venus and Neptune already there, we have a plethora of Piscean energy, giving us opportunities to be more loving and making the world a better place for all of us.

Pisces is the sign of unconditional love, desire for oneness and service to others. The keywords for Pisces are I believe. Now is the time to believe in love, kindness and taking care of others, as well as ourselves. Pisces is the sign of the savior, but can also be the sign of the victim. We have to care for others, but not at the expense of ourselves.

As a water sign, Pisces is emotional and psychic. Our emotions can help us guide our lives, if we pay attention to them. We should listen to our hunches and our intuitions. The more we pay attention and focus on these gifts we have, the more they grow and the more they will be useful to us.

As a mutable sign, Pisces is adaptable. We can make changes in our lives to make us happier and better versions of ourselves. Mutable signs need much variety in their lives, so make sure you are not stuck in dull routines.

Since Neptune is the planetary ruler of Pisces, we already have what I call a “double whammy” of Piscean energy. With the addition of the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Pisces, we can focus on what Pisces does best and that is unconditionally love. And that includes loving ourselves.

I took the photo of the symbols of Pisces, the two fish joined together, on the floor of the Basillica of St. Mary of Angels and Martyrs in Rome. It is a reminder to me that we can be angels or martyrs, the choice is ours. It depends upon the direction we choose to go. The fish are joined together, reminding me that we are all in this together.

I finally did it!

I finally finished my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology! I have been working on the book for many years and am so excited that it is finished.

The reason I wrote this book is that as an astrologer for more than 45 years, I have seen people struggle with relationships, and I know that astrology can help them have extraordinary relationships. As an astrologer, I have been asked questions about just about everything, but by far the most frequent questions have always revolved around lovers and spouses. From finding someone, to knowing if this person is the one and to knowing how to keep love in a relationship, this book answers the most asked questions about relationships.

In the writing process, there were scary moments when I couldn’t get my computer to cooperate. In a panic I would call upon my son Josh, who leapt to the challenge and always figured it out for me. I had a lot of help along the way, from my husband John, who edits everything I write; to a great professional editor; to Esther Luttrell who is an angel from heaven, who helped me with almost everything. My daughter Trish, who is a professional astrologer, helped me with the timing of the publishing.

Throughout the process of writing this book, I kept thinking I was finished, only to realize that the book needed more work. The first proof copy I ordered showed me corrections I needed to make in the writing of the book.

With the proof copy in hand, the longer I looked at the cover, the less I liked it. Earlier, I had sent out requests from people on my email list to help me pick out a cover. I was staggered at the huge response I received with well-thought-out ideas and even offers to design new covers for me. I read and gave lots of thought to all of the responses I received and even tallied the people who liked one cover over the other. The responses were varied and often contradicted one another. Even though I did eventually go with an entire new cover, I am grateful to all of the people who responded to my email and heartily thank them. Their responses were useful to me in eventually deciding on a new cover. My son Brian offered to create a cover for me, and he did create a cover I like. I’m eager to see how it looks on a real book.

If you want to have an extraordinary relationship and already know or are willing to learn the basics of real astrology that go beyond simple Sun Sign astrology, then this book was written for you. You will be guided step by step in finding the answers that you want. This book is real astrology and offers real results.

I will receive an updated proof copy very soon, and as soon as I look the proof copy over and okay it, my book will be published and you can buy it. I will keep you informed

Changes in the heavens

The planets are in constant motion and guide our paths, if we are willing to pay attention. Today, February 10, 2018, Venus enters the sign Pisces, where she will stay until March 6, 2018. Venus is said to be exalted in Pisces, meaning that it is the best sign for Venus to be in. Venus is the planet of love and Pisces is the sign of unconditional love. We, therefore, have the opportunity to learn about how to be unconditionally loving. A problem with this placement, however, is that we need to be sure that the recipient is worth of our love. Venus in Pisces, while very loving and romantic, can also be naïve.

Tomorrow, February 11, 2018, Mars will be close to the star Antares. Antares is on the nature of Mars and Jupiter, so for a few days either side of February 11, 2018, watch out for aggression, yours and others. Mars is the planet of war, anger, aggression and action. Channel that energy into important projects and you can get a lot done. Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches so this configuration is like Mars magnified many fold.

There is a partial Solar Eclipse February 15, 2018. All eclipses give us opportunities to change and to set intentions. This eclipse is not as strong as the All American Eclipse of August 21, 2018. Since it is in the sign of Aquarius, we can become more independent and stand on our own two feet. Astrologers differ in when they think eclipses have an effect, but I think they have an effect a few months before to a year after they happen.

LUNAR ECLIPSE OBSERVING GUIDE: On Wednesday, Jan. 31st, the full Moon will pass through the shadow of Earth, turning the normally gray lunar disk a lovely shade of volcanic red. When and where should you look? Eclipse times and visibility maps are featured on today’s edition of www.spaceweather.com.

SUPER, BLUE, BLOOD, MOON ECLIPSE!, TRUMP AND YOU

Boy, has this coming lunar eclipse of January 31, 2018 been getting a lot of hype. What does it all mean? What does it mean for Trump? What does it mean for you?

First. What does it all mean? A super moon is when the moon is closest to the earth, and so it looks larger and brighter. Actually, in spite of what you might have been reading, last month’s full month was actually the super moon, although this month’s full moon will be larger and brighter than usual.

A blue moon means nothing astrologically. It just the second full moon when a calendar month has two full moons in it.

A blood moon refers to a lunar eclipse that appears reddish, as it often does, due to various reasons. It does not have any dire meanings astrologically.

Second. What does it mean for Trump? Since the eclipse lands close to his Pluto, the planet of bringing hidden things to the surface, weapons of mass destruction and extremes, astrologers have been discussing what this might mean for him. I think that secrets of his past will come to light.

Third. What does it mean for you? What does it mean, astrologically? A lunar eclipse is a stronger full moon, astrologically, and its effects last longer. Astrologers differ in how long they think the effects of a lunar eclipse last. Many think about six months. I think the effect is just before and then for a few months afterward.

Full moons, and therefore, lunar eclipses intensify emotions and intuitions. Try to keep your emotions in check. Pay attention to your intuition.

During lunar eclipses we are more aware of shadow selves, both of ourselves and of others. You may become aware of hidden parts of yourself that come to the surface of awareness. You may also become aware of negative parts of yourself and others.

This eclipse is in the sign, Leo, the sign of love affairs, children, creativity and entertainment. We are given opportunities to reap the benefits in any of these areas, if we have done the necessary sowing of the seeds in the past.

As does everything in astrology, the astrological weather affects different people differently, depending upon their individual birth chart. The Lunar eclipse on January 31st, 2018, occurs when the Moon is at 11-12 degrees of Leo, opposing the Sun at 11-12 degrees Aquarius. If you have anything in your birth chart on or close to those degrees of the zodiac, you will be affected more than other people, according to what planet or point in your chart the eclipse is close to.

The lunar eclipse will also hit different people differently according to which part of their charts the eclipse is in. If you know what house in your birth chart has 11-12 degrees in it, the eclipse will be affecting that area of your life.

This is a great time for travel, getting published, learning, and enjoying new and exciting experiences. Plan trips. Sign up for classes. Go places you have never been before. Mars entered the sign of Sagittarius, where it will reside until March 17, 2018. Mars is the planet of drive, force, energy and desire. Sagittarius is the sign of exploration and expansion, both intellectual and physical. Because Sagittarius is a freedom-loving sign, many will be aware of their needs for being themselves and speaking their truths. This can be an energetic and fun time, if you take advantage of this enthusiastic planetary energy.

Venus in Aquarius is a wonderful time to be with friends and to work on goals.

Venus, the planet of love and social life, entered Aquarius late yesterday. It remains in Aquarius through February 10, 2018. Aquarius symbolizes friends, acquaintances, hopes, wishes and goals.

This means it is a great time to spend with friends and groups. Make plans to be with people you care about.

Write down your most important goals and start working on them. Research shows that the act of writing down goals helps people achieve them. If your goals incorporate your values and are what your heart desires, now is the time to work hard to achieve them.

January 16, 2017

I usually don’t pay much attention to new moons, but this one, TODAY, can be powerful in setting intentions. Anything started under a new moon has a tendency to stay with us. Write down or have on a vision board exactly what you would like in your life and then do something to help you achieve it. New moons are times to start new projects and this new moon in Capricorn, surrounded by Saturn, Mercury, Pluto, the Sun, and Venus all in Capricorn, is terrific to start to achieve what you want. Capricorn is hard working and practical and helps us work hard to achieve what we want in life. Keep your thoughts, words and actions positive to achieve your goal. Work on your most important goal in your life today. Don’t put it off.

January 7, 2018

Saturn, the great teacher, tells us, “Every action has consequences. Now do whatever you wish.” It reminds us,”Our lives are the decisions we have made.” Our education about making right choices is intensified, for good or for bad, while Saturn is in Capricorn from December 20, 2017 until December 17, 2020. People who work hard, are dependable and ethical can accomplish much during this time.

January 5, 2018

I find it interesting that news people are calling the storm on the east coast the Cyclone Bomb. Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable, the unusual and the erratic, is in the sign Aries this month where it will square (be a stressful 90 degrees from) all of the planets in Capricorn, except for Saturn, at least some time during the month. Uranus also deals with hurricanes and cyclones.

Uranus squares Pluto all month continuing a long term very stressful configuration. This aspect continues causing extreme happenings and weapons of mass destruction, including bombs.

January 4, 2018

Start the New Year off right in the following two ways.

First–Know the astrological weather of January to be prepared. January 2018 starts off with a preponderance of planets and the Sun in the sign Capricorn. On January 1, Saturn, Venus, the Sun and Pluto are all in Capricorn. Saturn and Pluto will remain there all month, Venus until the 17^th and the Sun until the 19th. On January 11, Mercury joins them in Capricorn, where it will remain until the 31st.

Capricorn is cold, snowy and has a connection with colds and flus. While the Sun is in Capricorn once every year, it is unusual for so much planetary activity to be in the sign. So expect more cold weather, snow and colds and flus than is usual even for January. My car is ready for winter with new tires, gas, anti-freeze and window washing fluid. (Thank you, John!) I plan on washing my hands when I first enter my house and getting enough rest and good food.

Capricorn is practical, hard-working and focused. It rewards efforts. This is a great month to hunker down, plug away and get lots of work done. I plan on finishing my book, Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology, and will let you know when it will be available.

Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable, the unusual and the erratic is in the sign Aries this month where it will square (be a stressful 90 degrees from) all of the planets in Capricorn, except for Saturn, at least some time during the month. Uranus also deals with weather, earth movements and rebellions. With such challenging aspects no one can predict what might happen, but it will be newsworthy. It should be a big news night over and over and over all month. I often say with Uranus, it will be the last thing we’d expect to happen.

Uranus squares Pluto all month continuing a long term very stressful configuration. This aspect continues causing upheaval, rebellion, destruction, emotional outbursts, and extremes. Pluto does have a correspondence with weapons of mass destruction.

Mars and Jupiter are in the sign Scorpio all month. This makes it a grand month to get rid of what you no longer need, be it people or possessions. I have been feeling a strong urge to get rid of stuff in my house. For being a Feng Shui consultant, I sure have a lot of junk lying around in drawers.

Scorpio brings hidden things to the surface, including sexual abuse and harassment. I am not surprised of the “me to” movement happening now. These two planets have been in this sign for a while and will be here for months to come. We have not heard the last of powerful men being accused and then stepping down.

Second—Have your individual Yearly Forecast read by me to see what the next twelve months mean for you. Your yearly chart will help you prepare for the next twelve months, no matter when you have it done. You’ll learn what your forecast is, how to take advantage of good times and how to prepare for or avoid challenging times. It is a roadmap on your path in life and a beacon of light and hope to help you have a better future.

Call me at 785.232.2836 or email me to schedule a time for you to know about your next twelve months.

Your astrologer who is always rooting for you,

Be sure and read to the end.

In this photo, my husband and I are at Stonehenge with the wind and cold rain whipping around us from all directions. The weather was dreadful, but we were ecstatically happy, as you can tell from our smiles. We were at Stonehenge, a goal we had long had, and we saw the weather as part of being in rainy England.

This photo is a perfect metaphor that we can be happy in spite of the weather (be it rain or the astrological weather.) A lot of what we experience is what we choose to focus on and what we choose to do in the situation. We could have gone out in the cold and rain without any protection from the elements, or we could have not seen Stonehenge, but my husband reached into his backpack and brought out two Dollar Store rain coats. He then went into the gift store and bought us two umbrellas. We did what we needed to do to be comfortable and had one of the highlights of our lives, in spite of the weather. Thanks, John.

In the next few days, the astrological weather may, at first, seem grim. Being forewarned is to be forearmed. If we follow the advice below, we can achieve much and feel good about what we have achieved.

Late last night, December 19, 2017, Saturn entered the sign of Capricorn, where it will be for about two and one half years. Saturn is called the Great Malefic, meaning it is the most malevolent planet of them all. Saturn has a correspondence with fear, loneliness, depression, lack and hard work.

Does this mean that we are in for negative times? No! Saturn also has a correspondence with perseverance, tenacity and self-discipline. If we use Saturnine energy wisely, this can be a period of great achievement. Saturn is also called the Great Teacher or the planet of Karma. I sometimes call it the planet that gives you lessons you need to learn. I also say it is like a teacher that is passing out grade cards. If you work hard and follow the teacher’s rules you can get an A. If you goof off and don’t put in the time and effort required, your grade may be much worse than you wanted.

Saturn has a correspondence with hard work, but it also brings you the rewards of your efforts. We need to guard against what I call “stinkin’ thinkin’ and we need to stay positive and focused. The older people get, the more they tend to like Saturn. I must be pretty old, because I love Saturn. Knowing that I will reap what I sow is comforting, as well as motivating.

Tomorrow, December 21, 2017, is Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. This year Saturn will be in the same degree of the zodiac as the Sun, in zero degrees of Capricorn, on the Winter Solstice. This gives the day and the days surrounding it a feeling of seriousness. It can help us be responsible, reliable and stable. It can also make us feel under par physically as well as emotionally. Guard against colds and flus. Focus on what is important.

A good note is that Mercury goes direct Hooray! on December 22, 2017. Since I have written so much about this in the past, I am referring you to my website to see what it means for you.

December 19, 2017

Did you know that Christmas is astrologically timed?

All of the Catholic Church’s Holy Days, including Christmas, are astrologically timed.

In astrology, the Sun has a correspondence with children (son.)

On Christmas Day, the heavens symbolize the birth of Jesus. You probably know that Jesus wasn’t really born on Christmas as the shepherds would not be out in their fields on that date.

I wish you Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Your astrologer, Dianne

THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: Tonight, Earth will pass through a stream of gravelly debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Sky watchers far from city lights could see dozens of meteors per hour. The best time to look, no matter where you live, is during the dark hours before sunrise on Thursday, Dec. 14th, when the constellation Gemini is high overhead. There’s more: As the shower peaks, Jupiter and the crescent Moon will be having a close encounter in the eastern pre-dawn sky. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for sky maps and more information.

December 11, 2017

One of the best meteor showers of the year will peak on Wednesday night, dazzling onlookers with up to 120 meteors an hour.

From the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 13, into the morning of Thursday, Dec. 14, onlookers will see an abundance of meteors streak across the sky, as long as the weather cooperates.

“The Geminids are expected to be the most active meteor shower of 2017 and often are bright and intensely colored,” AccuWeather Astronomy Blogger Dave Samuhel said.

year will be a particularly good year since the peak of the shower falls just days before the new moon, meaning there will be little natural light pollution. When a meteor shower occurs during a full moon, such as the Geminids did in 2016, the light from the moon washes out many of the dimmer meteors.

The best viewing conditions on Wednesday night will be across the southern and western U.S. where cloud-free conditions are expected to greet onlookers. The exception will be across the Rocky Mountains and interior Northwest where areas of clouds may obscure the shower.

Meanwhile, an Alberta Clipper storm will spread clouds and some snow across the Midwest and northern Plains, resulting in poor viewing conditions.

Breaks in clouds should allow stargazers in the Northeast to glimpse some meteors. However, bundling up in layers will be a must due to frigid conditions.

Arctic air entrenched over the region paired with a biting wind will keep AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures in the single digits for much of the region on Wednesday night.

How to view the shower

As long as the sky is clear, folks should start to see meteors streak across the sky once it becomes dark on Wednesday evening.

“This shower is one of the few meteor showers that produces high levels of activity through the evening hours, in addition to the overnight timeframe,” Samuhel said.

This makes the Geminids a great meteor shower to watch with younger kids as they should be able to see some shooting stars without having to stay awake late into the night.

While the first meteors will appear in the evening, the number of meteors per hour will increase through 2 a.m. as the radiant point, or point where the meteors originate, climbs high in the sky.

Contrary to popular belief, onlookers do not need to focus on the radiant point to see the Geminids as meteors will be visible in all areas of the sky.

“The best way to view the meteors is to lie flat and get as much of the sky in your view as possible,” Samuhel said.

People should also try to find a dark spot away from light pollution to maximize the number of meteors they can see.

Those that are not able to watch the meteor shower on Wednesday night can go outside on Tuesday night or Thursday night to try to spot a few meteors, but there will not be as many as Wednesday night.

The next meteor shower will be the Ursids, which will peak on Dec. 22 and will bring five to 10 meteors an hour. From MSN News

December 2, 2017

WATCH OUT FOR THE SUPERMOON: This weekend’s full Moon is the biggest and brightest full Moon of 2017, almost 8% wider and 16% brighter than average. The extra dose of luminosity, which peaks on Sunday night, Dec. 3rd, is going to cast unusually sharp midnight shadows as this “supermoon” lights up the wintry landscape of the northern hemisphere. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com to find out why the Moon is so big, and when is the best time to look.

In astrology there are three celestial objects that are considered beneficial—the Sun, Jupiter and Venus. All three of them are in the sign of Scorpio until November 21, 2017, and Jupiter is in Scorpio until November 8, 2018. Since Scorpio is the sign of transformation, it is a great time to figure out what you want out of your life and then go for it. Scorpio is a passionate sign and has a lot of stick-to-it-ness, helping us persevere. Transform your life to be the way you want it to be. Our lives are the results of the choices we have made and now is the time to make daily choices that help us transform our lives.

Scorpio is also the sign that helps with elimination—eliminate in your life everything and everyone who does not help you reach your highest good. As a Feng Shui consultant, I love Scorpio because it helps us get rid of clutter. I define clutter as anything that we do not love, use or need.

The Sun, which corresponds with power, vitality, self-expression, children and creativity, is in Scorpio until November 21, 2017. This is a good time to improve your health, be true to yourself, be around children and be creative.

Venus, the planet of love, social life, money and possessions is in Scorpio until December 24, 2017. This is a wonderful time to transform those areas of your life to be the way you want them to be. It’s a good time to buy presents and items of lasting value. It’s also a good time to be around people you love. Plan and use this period wisely to achieve what you want in matters that correspond with Venus.

Jupiter, called the Great Benefic, is in Scorpio until November 8, 2018. That’s right, it will be there almost a year. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to transform our lives for the better and get rid of things that and people who do not serve our higher good. Projects that take persistence are especially favored.

Everyone can take advantage of life’s opportunities during this time, but people who have the Sun, the Moon, Planets, Ascendant or Midheaven in their Birth Charts in the sign Scorpio will be more affected.

I am offering Jupiter readings, based upon your individual Birth Chart, to help you take advantage of how Jupiter is helping you for about the next twelve months. Jupiter Readings are $30. I include Jupiter readings in Yearly Charts, but Yearly Charts include much more (for those who know what these terms mean, transits, progressions and eclipses) and are $120. The Yearly Chart comes with a CD of our conversation.

Contact me by email or call me at 785.232.2836 to schedule your individual Jupiter Reading or Yearly Chart Reading. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope you take advantage of this wonderful time of opportunities. Use astrology’s timing to help you create the life you want.

Your astrologer,

Dianne

METEORS FROM HALLEY’S COMET: Earth is entering a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. Last night, NASA’s network of all-sky meteor cameras detected 23 Orionid fireballs over the USA–a result of comet dust hitting the atmosphere at speeds exceeding 65 km/s (145,000 mph). Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Oct. 21-22 with as many as 25 meteors per hour. Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and sky maps.

The Moon is in Scorpio now until 6:56 a.m. Central Time October 22, 2017. This makes it a great time to eliminate anything in your life that doesn’t serve your highest good, be it clutter, people or attitudes.

Now is the time to grab opportunities, especially ones that require going outside of your comfort zone. The universe is urging you to be courageous. There is a fortunate planetary configuration in the sky now until October 19, 2017 that can help you create a happier and more optimistic life.

Saturn, Uranus and the Moon’s North Node are in a positive Grand Fire Trine until October 19, 2017. A Grand Trine is when each of three points in the zodiac are about 120 degrees from the other two points. Grand Trines indicate opportunities and are helpful for any undertaking. Don’t let this time period pass you by. Use it to help you create the kind of life you want.

The fire element indicates enthusiam, zest for living and spirituality. It contributes to you having drive and energy to work toward your goals.

Saturn is the planet of karma, hard work and career, and Uranus is the planet of change, humanitarianism and individuality. The Moon’s Node is where the Moon crosses the apparent path of the Sun. It shows us the way to become better versions of ourselves, to be on the right path and to be doing what we came here to do. Since the Node is in the sign Leo, we should be consciously loving and creative. Having these three astrological points in a very easy configuration, indicates that if we do our part, work hard, be open to change and be loving, we can be doing what we came to this planet to do.

And even better, until October 13, 2017, the Sun and Mercury in Libra are about fortunate 60 degrees from Saturn and the Moon’s North Node, forming a Kite formation. The Sun represents creativity and individuality and Mercury represents communication and mental processes. We need to have positive thoughts, communications and deeds and work to accomplish what we came into this life to do.

There have been and continue to be challenging planetary configurations, but right now we have some help from the planets if we do our part. I see astrology as like a weather forecast. We can choose to enjoy the sunny weather outside or stay inside our dark, gloomy homes. I urge you to get outside (symbolically and literally) and be active in achieving your goals.

As always, when I talk to people about their yearly chart (forecast for the next twelve months), I include explaining how planetary configurations are affecting them personally. If you want to find out how these and many other planetary energies will be influencing you and become a better version of yourself, let me know.

Have you had major changes in your life in the last few months? Do you feel that you are in the midst of transformation? Do you wonder how your life will be changing? I am still being inundated with requests for eclipse charts–how the last eclipse affects people’s birth charts and their lives. It is not too late to have an eclipse reading to help you navigate through the next several months.

As most people undoubtedly know, much of the United States experienced a total eclipse of the Sun on Monday, August 21. A total solar eclipse is not only a major astronomical event, it also has great meaning for astrology. Such an event can dramatically influence a person’s life in a variety of ways. If you want me to explain how the eclipse has been affecting and will continue to affect you, call me at 785.232.2836 to request your individual eclipse chart reading for $30.

The total solar eclipse indicated that our country, the president and many of us experienced unusual stress during the last few months and will have many changes and transformations during the next several months.

All of us need to be consciously loving and open to change, as the eclipse was in the sign of Leo, the sign of love, and in a fortunate trine aspect (about 120 degrees) to Uranus, the planet of unexpected change. Each of us will experience the eclipse differently, depending upon our individual birth charts and how we choose to use the astrological energy.

I continue to be struck by the fact that so many people are experiencing turmoil, change and unexpected events in their lives. Most of them had the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven or planets located in the last degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius or Taurus in their birth charts. If you have points in your chart in those degrees, you may particularly benefit from an eclipse chart reading. But regardless, most people would find it interesting and helpful to learn how the eclipse affects them

If you want me to explain how the eclipse has been affecting and will continue to affect you, or if you know anyone who would benefit, call me at 785.232.2836 to request an individual eclipse chart reading for $30.

If you’d like more information about the eclipse, go to my blog on my website and read “August 2017 the most important month of the year?” and the Newsweek, article about “Astrologers are freaking out about what the eclipse means for Trump” at http://diannelawson.com/blog-2/

Pam McCoy of Topeka, Kansas said that when Mercury Retrograde happens it seems to hit her hard. During the last Mercury Retrograde Pam said that she had problems with her computer not working right, her phones didn’t work, her tv didn’t work, she had communication problems and had two car batteries go dead less than two hours apart. It sounds similar to what Beth Cooper Meyer said in the post below.

As most people undoubtedly know, much of the United States experienced a total eclipse of the Sun on Monday, August 21. I found it exciting to witness the eclipse along with members of my family. A total solar eclipse is not only a major astronomical event, it also has great meaning for astrology. Such an event can dramatically influence a person’s life in a variety of ways.

Last weekend I gave a wide variety of mini-readings at the Lawrence, Kansas Metaphysical Fair–highlights of the birth chart, horary questions answered, eclipse charts, cards and palms. The one reading that most people requested was the eclipse chart reading, because many people have been having major changes in their lives in the last few months and are also feeling that they are in the midst of transformation and will be experiencing lots of changes coming up during the next 12 months.

1. I will be providing astrology, card and readings at a special fair discounted rate.

2. My son will be selling Feng Shui cures, including the most needed. The round faceted lead crystal balls and gemstone-shaped lead crystals are always good for circulating positive energy and dissipating negative energy. The clear ones are universal cures and can be used anywhere, but are especially good for issues with children. The black ones are for career: the blue for family, the orange for health, and the pink for love, relationships and marriage. The gemstone-shaped red crystal is for fame, status and reputation. The fame area of the home is the most important area of the home to enhance as how others see us has a huge impact of the other areas of our lives. It does not mean fame like the Kardashians have, but the way we are perceived in the world. All of the crystals are $6, $8 and $10 each. We have three different cute money frogs for $10 each. The Bagua mirrors are also each $10. I have large and medium ones for the concave mirrors that invite positive energy into the home. The large, medium and small convex mirrors repel negative energy of all kinds.

3. If you are an empath or feel tired or angry because of someone else, come see what we have that can help you. Among other things, we have new larger rocks for protection against negativity. Each rock can be used for many different things and different books will tell you different things from the others, but the rocks below are good for protection against negative persons, energies and situations. They are quartz, obsidian and amethyst.

4. And free presentations and the potential to win gifts every half hour. See you there! Dianne

August 4, 2017

The Perseids are here! You can see them in your backyard, but it is worth a drive to the country in order to see them better.

THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER IS BEGINNING: This week, Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Specks of dusty debris hitting the top of Earth’s atmosphere faster than 110,000 mph are burning up in the night sky, producing a spray of shooting stars from the constellation Perseus. Meteor rates are relatively low now, but they will increase sharply in the nights ahead. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Aug. 11-13 with perhaps dozens of meteors per hour visible in bright moonlight. Visit www.spaceweather.com
for observing tips and sky maps.

August 2017 The most important month of the year?

As the total solar eclipse passes over the United States, don’t be left in the dark. Don’t let your opportunities be eclipsed.

Many astrologers think that August is the most important month of the year, bringing new beginnings, endings and major changes. There are several huge planetary happenings this month. We can use this planetary energy to our good, doing what we know will benefit ourselves and others. Be sure and read to the end to see the ending on a good note.

The lunar eclipse on August 7, 2017 brings with it lots of emotions for about a week before and a week after. Some of us will feel like we’re not being recognized, noticed or heard. It a good time to remember that old adage of “Don’t have any important conversations when you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired.” It’s easy to remember if you remember that the first letters of those words spell out the word “HALT.” In astrology, we can use any planetary energy to our good, but challenging planetary configurations can cause us problems if we are not consciously making good choices and using the extra energy to create what we want in life. We need to guard against anger and negativity. We and others around us may have intense feelings and should remember to not let any situation intensify.

The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 will have a huge impact on our country, Trump and us, depending upon our individual birth charts. Since it is in the sign of Leo, the sign that corresponds with love, creativity and generosity, we can transform our world for the better if we are loving, creative and generous. We are given opportunities to be loving and the choices we make will be karmic in nature. We will reap what we sow. Solar eclipses bring endings and new beginnings.

Much has been written about Trump and how the eclipse will hit his chart. Since the eclipse is conjunct Regulus, the star associated with kings, astrologers say it is often an omen for the fall of kings or leaders. The eclipse is also conjunct Trump’s Ascendant and Mars. .An interesting sidelight is that Netanyahu has his Mars in the same degree of the zodiac as Trump does. Mars is aggressive, warlike, full of strife, and feels the need to defend himself. For more information about how Astrologers are freaking out about the eclipse and Trump, go to the post below. Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches, and it also corresponds with beliefs and religion. Pluto is the planet of intensity, explosions, mass destruction, bombs, atomic energy, earth changes and catastrophes. These planets also have other, positive meanings, but during a square aspect it is easier to manifest the negative side of them. Jupiter does symbolize expansion and growth and Pluto does symbolize transformation and rebirth, so out of the remains of the volcanic explosion can come new life and new growth. Hurts from the past can be brought into the light and can be transmuted into beautiful new growth. Pluto helps us get rid of what we no longer need, be it clutter, people or outdated ways of thinking or being. What do we need to eliminate in our lives?

The signs Jupiter and Pluto are in have correspondences to our relationships and careers, so we will have the ability to make positive changes in these areas. We can learn to balance these areas of our lives. We can decide what we want, how to get there and then take action to create the kind of lives we want.

Five planets, including Mercury, will be retrograde this month. We may feel as if we are waiting on other people or other things to move forward. We have to keep working, but at times it may feel that we are moving slowly through mud. For more information about how Mercury Retrograde can have an impact upon your health, transportation, communication and machines, go to http://diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/. Since Mercury is in its own sign, Virgo, the effects of it being retrograde will be enhanced.

Ending on a good note, both Saturn and Uranus will be in a positive, fortunate trine to the Moon’s North Node. Saturn is the planet of karma, hard work and career and Uranus is the planet of change, humanitarianism and individuality. The Moon’s Node is where the Moon crosses the apparent path of the Sun. It show us the way to be on the right path and to be doing what we came here to do. Since the Node is in the sign Leo, we should be consciously loving and creative. Having these three astrological points in a very easy configuration, indicates that if we do our part, work hard, be open to change and be loving, we can be doing what we came to this planet to do.

As always, when I talk to people about their yearly chart (forecast for the next twelve months), I include explaining how planetary configurations are affecting them personally. If you want to find out how these and many other planetary energies will be influencing you, let me know.

Astrologers are freaking out about what the upcoming eclipse means for Trump

from Newsweek

Donald Trump’s presidency was written in the stars—at least that’s what astrologers are saying. He was born during a lunar eclipse, they point out, which makes him more susceptible to the power of eclipses. And if eclipses are monumental celestial events with real-world consequences, as astrologers believe, then the rare total solar eclipse happening in August could have major implications for Trump, especially given the growing drama around his administration.

“There’s been a lot of conversation about this eclipse in terms of what’s going on with Donald Trump,” says Wade Caves, an astrological consultant who earlier in July published a 29-page analysis of the coming eclipse. “The astrological world has been completely buzzing with this for quite some time, even more so since Donald Trump was inaugurated.”

Culture Emails and Alerts – Get the best of Newsweek Culturedelivered to your inbox

On August 21, the solar eclipse will occur as the moon passes between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow about 70 miles wide on the U.S. Total solar eclipses happen every year and a half or so, but this is the first time since 1918 conditions will align so that the shadow will cross the entire continent, in what is called the “path of totality.” It’s also the first eclipse since 1776 whose path falls exclusively in the U.S. Small towns within the path are preparing to see their populations temporarily balloon by as much as 250 times, and as many as 7.4 million people are expected to travel to see the phenomenon. For people watching from any given spot inside the path, the eclipse will last about two minutes.

As space scientists and enthusiasts have been preparing to view the August eclipse, astrologers have been taking to the blogosphere to predict how it spells out doom. Humans have long monitored cosmic events for clues about the future, and for certain people, eclipses hold special meaning. “Solar eclipses have been interpreted as evil omens by many civilizations because the life-giving sunlight is obscured for a few minutes,” wrote space scientist Duncan Steel in his 2001 book Eclipse: The Celestial Phenomenon that Changed the Course of History. Steel pointed out that accounts of the death of Jesus Christ have depicted a so-called “Crucifixion eclipse,” and that the ancient Chinese would beat drums and shoot arrows into the sky to ward off what they believed was a dragon devouring the sun.

For modern-day practitioners of astrology, the eclipse continues to hold power. “What we’re talking about is the ability of the sun to be able to give light and life-generating heat, and all these things being momentarily taken away,” says Caves, the astrological consultant. “So there’s this symbolism that’s built in with eclipses about…things coming to a close, and in often a very dramatic fashion.”

The August eclipse is not only unique because of its rarity, astrologers claim, but also because the astrological activity associated with it happens to line up with that of the president. The eclipse is occurring in Leo, for instance, which is rising in Trump’s chart. The lion is the symbol for Leo, and thus the sign represents rulers and kings. “At the moment that he was born, certain degrees were activated. This eclipse is activating those same degrees,” Caves says about Trump. When other aspects of the eclipse are taken into account, he adds, “a lot of astrologers are expecting some kind of downfall, some kind of ruin, some kind of difficulty.”

Steel, the space scientist and author, says it is foolish for anyone to believe in such prophecies. “Way back, when people had little ability to predict when eclipses would occur apart from recognizing that there are distinct cycles, perhaps it is understandable that doom-mongering based on eclipses occurred,” he says by email. “But for people nowadays to imagine that they are portents of doom is just daft…. If people believe that the forthcoming solar eclipse ‘means’ anything for the U.S., for Trump, for the world, then they are deluded.”

Lights Out

Debra DeLeo-Moolenaar (whose surname is perfect for discussing the power of Leo) became interested in astrology thanks to a witch. In the early 1990s, she says, she had fallen gravely ill with gangrene and her first marriage was ending. She was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in order to turn her life around, she decided to seek the advice of Laurie Cabot, the so-called official witch of Salem.Cabot told DeLeo-Moolenaar to contact an astrologer named Karen Thorne, and so she went to see her. “She’s the one who says it all and got me going on it,” DeLeo-Moolenaar says.

In 1998, DeLeo-Moolenaar moved to London for work. By day, she was doing international tax law; in her downtime, her passion for astrology was growing. About a decade later, she began blogging about her hobby. Since then, she’s interpreted the signs to make predictions about world events such as the 2016 Brexit vote and June’s general election in the United Kingdom. (She was correct both times.) Now, the 63-year-old is retired and lives in Oxford.

To make their predictions about how heavenly bodies influence activity down on Earth, astrologers such as DeLeo-Moolenaar and Caves consult thousands of years’ worth of theory and materials. They form charts based on dates—such as August 21 for the coming eclipse and June 14 for Trump, his birthday—and sometimes compare such charts. “The closest career that’s out there is an economist,” says Caves, because they also look for patterns in the past in order to make predictions.

At least one president followed astrology, and Trump considers him an idol. Ronald Reagan is said to have scheduled important meetings, presidential debates, surgery, State of the Union addresses and his 1967 inauguration as governor of California based on astrological information. First lady Nancy Reagan was reportedly in regular contact with Joan Quigley, an astrologer who died in 2014and who had written a memoir about her experience with the White House.

When an eclipse happens, astrologers have more information to analyze, resulting in predictions beyond those in an ordinary horoscope. “It goes back to: What is an eclipse?” DeLeo-Moolenaar says. “It’s basically, from an astrological standpoint, a big burst of energy. It’s like a scattering of a shotgun shell across the chart of a nation or an individual, giving energy and power into something that’s already in play.” At this moment, she says, the U.S. is in a dramatic period, and “then this eclipse comes along” that “can be expected to spark this frustration and quite possibly set it off.” As she explains it, the moon represents the common people, and the sun represents the leader. Then the moon blocks the sun and “the lights go out.”

Presidential Penumbra

The effects of the coming eclipse could take time to show up, according to astrologers’ claims. Caves believes the impact will appear over the next two years because the eclipse will take around two hours to cross the continent (for a solar eclipse, astrologers interpret each hour as a year). The result could be “a loss of a leader in some sense,” he says, whether literal or symbolic. “It seems to me very possible that by this time next year, we’re looking at the reality of Trump not being in office.”

In February, DeLeo-Moolenaar wrote on her blog Archetypal Assets that she finds it significant how the eclipse will involve Uranus, according to astrological charts. That planet, she wrote, “disrupts everything that it touches. It is a lightning bolt from the blue. Serious change in any direction and on a major scale.” And because Uranus “will make close aspects to Mr. Trump’s natal Mars,” she wrote, “this will be a power surge—provoking a crisis of some sort. Whether for good or evil, we can’t know in advance.”

Marjorie Orr, another astrologer, pointed out last November, just four days after the election, that the August eclipse is part of what space scientists know as the Saros series, which has included eclipses in 1909, 1927, 1945, 1963, 1981 and 1999. Orr noted the major political events in those years: the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a period of unrest in Chicago that involved bombings and an attempted assassination of President William Taft. “Usually this series places strains on personal relationships, induces hasty decisions on the basis of false information and is associated with tiredness or health problems,” she wrote. “Certainly this eclipse presages violence in one form or another.”

The astrology blogger Eugene Johnson predicted in April: “This eclipse by itself does not suggest that the U.S. is in immediate peril for war, but it alerts us to be prepared for some kind of significant, perhaps shattering, event here in America.” Johnson noted that the chart for the eclipse will involve Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto and Neptune. “I can safely say that this eclipse series will mark important developments on the world stage because of the high preponderance of outer planets involved,” he added.

Caves has published perhaps the most thorough analysis. He wrote that the position of the eclipse in relation to the star Al Jabhah traditionally “brings loss and danger,” and that when it involves a military officer—or president—it suggests the possibility of mutiny by soldiers.

Caves singled out certain dates that could prove significant: October 10, November 21, November 26 and December 17 through 19. It’s “possible that there will be a sudden health issue that lands on Trump’s shoulders, pulling him out of the Oval. It’s also quite reasonable to suspect ousting, either through official channels (i.e. impeachment) or a mutiny behind closed doors,” he wrote. “What we can say with reasonable assurance is that these charts, when properly considered, make it difficult to imagine Trump has smooth sailing ahead.”

In response to skepticism about their claims, DeLeo-Moolenaar says everyone is entitled to their opinions. “I happen to think it works, I happen to feel that it works. I think also that as human beings, we have both a rational side and an intuitional side, and I think the astrology speaks to this intuition, to centuries of myth that still follows us around.”

Mercury enters its shadow today and will be retrograde August 12, 2017 through September 4, 2017. It will then be in its shadow September 5, 2017 through September 19, 2017. It is a time to be careful concerning health, communication, transportation and machines. We need to go about our regular business, but be more mindful in these areas. For more information about the Shadow of Mercury and Mercury Retrograde, to to

http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Since my husband and I travel so much, we have lots of Mercury Shadow and Mercury Retrograde stories. Here is one about our trip that we took during the last Mercury Shadow period. Flying back from Northern California, we left Berkeley after breakfast and didn’t make it home in Topeka until 3:30 a.m. the next morning. Delay, delay, delay, wait for new plane, go to new gate, wait, get lost, pouring-down rain storm. It is often harder to travel under challenging Mercury times, but I have always been glad I went. And, by the way, our next trip scheduled is when Mercury will be in its shadow. Sometimes other things just take precedence.

April Garrett of South Saint Paul, Minnesota wrote this about the last Mercury Retrograde: I do have a Mercury retrograde story’.. My experience with this April 2017s Mercury retrograde has been more of slow down and miscommunication ., mainly a slow down.. On the morning of April 10th of 2017 I went to go start my vehicle that’s in top mechanical condition and to my surprise when I went to turn the key in my cars ignition it would not crank/start up.. Even though the car lights and navigation etc were working.. In addition to the ignition with my key in it not being able to start my car up .. My key that has a chip in it that starts up my vehicle has a chip and key fobe that is attached to it and it also wasn’t working.. I ended up getting a ride from a near by neighbor so that I could go get a new battery for my vehicle key/key fobe’.. I was thinking it was the battery of my key/key fobe causing the issue.. When I returned back home to my vehicle with a new battery installed into my key/fobe.. It still wasn’t working & my car was in the same predicament’ !!.. I was alarmed.. At this point I then proceeded to call different emergency lock and key companies that could come on site to me.. I reside in the suburbs so this was the only way for me at the time’.. The above info about my Mercury retrograde story is just the beginning’.. There’s more to be continued’.. Stay tuned for the rest of the story’ …… There’s more to come’.

When I talk to people about their yearly charts, one of many things I look at is when Mercury will be in its shadow or retrograde. For help is planning the next twelve months, contact me by email or call me at 785-232-2836.

(Me) Until July 26 be careful while traveling, pay attention around weapons and sharp objects and avoid arguing. Fiery, forceful Mars is in a challenging square aspect to unpredictable Uranus. The Sun close to Mars just adds fuel to the fire. Politically, only God knows what might happen. The news will be full of unexpected events.

(Me) Theoretically, any aspect is supposed to be better than no aspect. Even challenging aspects give us energy to create our lives. Some energy is harder to deal with than others. We can try to learn to be thoughtful, present, and loving during challenging times.

(My daughter Trish Williams who is a great astrologer) Squares and oppositions offer an opportunity for creative release of tension from stifling or dysfunctional situations. The objective here is to avoid the temptation to either repress totally (that energy will then come out in accidents, or projected on you from other people), or to altogether break free in rebellion. Express these energies in a positive and creative new way, because the time now is beneficial for that. 🙂

(Me) Trish, are you going after terrain level 5 geocaches this weekend?????????(Geocaches are hidden treasures, seewww.Geocaching.com, and level 5 terrain is the most difficult level.)

(Trish) Yes, my first attempt kayaking on a river, a mile UPstream to an island. Neptune isn’t involved, so I’m not so worried about drowning lol. My first thought with these planets was “struck by lightning” LMAO.

(Trish) I’m going to look at the positive, this will give me the drive and the physical energy for the hard paddle:)

(Me) Well, that is one way of looking at it. Please tell me you are going to wear a life jacket.

(Trish) I have a life jacket. I don’t wear one kayaking on lakes, but I will wear it.

The above is part of a discussion that is on my Facebook page,www.Facebook.com/AstrologerDianneLawsonand gives you an idea of how you might use this planetary aspect. Take care and use the extra energy to get what you want done.

My last post talked about an intense planetary energy through July 12. This weekend the Sun will join Mars and the Moon will join Pluto. Having the Sun and Moon involved creates even more energy to the Mars and Pluto challenging opposition.

We have a choice as always in how we handle this energy. Avoid drama and confrontation! Don’t get into arguments, especially with family members. Guard against anger, your own as well as others’.

The best way to deal with this energy is to get busy and use it to accomplish our goals. Our choices create our lives.

July and August have many challenging astrological happenings, especially to Trump’s chart. He is not having an easy time and is in an especially karmic time where it is imperative that he make correct choices and not react too quickly or aggressively.

When I discuss a person’s yearly chart I always include how the planets in the sky are affecting that individual. If you are interested in how planetary energies will influence you for the next twelve months, let me know. Dianne 785.232.2836

For the next two weeks, avoid drama! Don’t get into arguments, especially with family members. Watch out while traveling. Guard against accidents and health problems. Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation and health, is joining the planetary configuration mentioned in my last post, adding even more energy for us to deal with. Be sure and read my last post for even more information.

Anger, transformation and you

Tremendous planetary energy

Over-the-top anger continues until July 12, 2017. This is going to be very noticeable in the news, but is a background energy for all of us. A T-square of Jupiter, Mars and Pluto will be in effect during this time. Mars in Cancer is opposite Pluto in Capricorn, and Jupiter is about 90 degrees from both of them, forming a T-square and creating a tremendous amount of planetary energy.

Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches, and it also corresponds with beliefs and religion. Mars is the planet of force, drive, energy and anger, and Pluto is the planet of intensity, explosions, mass destruction, bombs, atomic energy, earth changes and catastrophes. These planets also have other, positive meanings, but during a cardinal T-square, it is easier to manifest the negative side of them.

In astrology, we can use any planetary energy to our good, but challenging planetary configurations, such as a T-square, can cause us problems if we are not consciously making good choices and using the extra energy to create what we want in life.

We need to guard against anger and negativity. We and others around us may have intense feelings and should remember to not let any situation intensify.

The signs these planets are in have correspondences to our homes, families, relationships and careers, so we will have the ability to make positive changes in these areas and transform our lives to be the way we want them. We can learn to balance these areas of our lives. We can decide what we want, how to get there and then take action to create the kind of lives we want.

As always, when I talk to people about their yearly chart (forecast for the next twelve months), I include how planetary configurations are affecting them personally. People who have points in their birth charts in the middle degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will be especially influenced by this configuration.

If you want to find out how these and many other planetary energies will be influencing you, let me know.

Your astrologer,

Dianne

Eclipse, Trump and You

On August 21, 2017 there will be total eclipse of the Sun, visible in the United States. Wherever the eclipse shadow falls indicates where the focus of world attention will be, so the United States will be the center of attention in the world. Solar eclipses in mundane astrology indicate natural disasters, political turmoil, significant events, beginnings, endings and the death of the king or the downfall of the leader. Since this eclipse falls on Trump’s Ascendant, the health and well being of Trump is a concern.

Queen Victoria has a solar eclipse on her Ascendant just before her death. Nixon had a solar eclipse opposite his Sun just before he left office.

Astrologers differ in their opinions as to how long the influence of eclipses last, from some astrologers thinking the influence can start months before the eclipse to some thinking the influence can last for a few years. Most think just before to up to a year after the date of the eclipse.

This particular eclipse for various reasons, too complicated to go into here, indicates that we need to work towards our higher good, doing what we came into this life to do, and always being loving, including to ourselves. We need to step outside our comfort zone and fulfill our destinies.

What does this have to do with you? Since the eclipse is in the United States, I would strongly urge you to plan to see it. You can Google to find out how and why to see it or wait until closer to the time and I will email you information about the eclipse.

If you want to have your yearly chart done, I always include what eclipses mean to individual people. Eclipses indicate endings and beginnings, but don’t have to be bad. They do let us know where we need to pay attention in our lives. This event will especially affect people who have the Sun, Moon, Planets, the Midheaven or the Ascendant of their birth charts from 24 to 30 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Helping you to make your life the best it can be, your astrologer,

Dianne

Tomorrow it is possible to see bright meteors during the day but more likely to see them before dawn.

DAYTIME METEOR SHOWER: This week, Earth is passing through a stream of dusty debris from … where? No one knows for sure. The encounter is causing a daytime meteor shower as meteoroids hit the top of Earth’s atmosphere traveling 39 km/s (87,000 mph). A meteor radar in Canada is tracking strong activity in the constellation Aries not far from the sun. The display is mostly invisible to the human eye–but not entirely. It may be possible to see some of these strange meteors during a narrow window of darkness before sunrise, especially on June 7th when the shower is expected to peak.

With the Moon in Scorpio today and tomorrow, and especially because the Full Moon is in Scorpio tomorrow, it is an excellent time to get rid of clutter in your life. This means, of course, all the material items that you do not need, use or want, but anything in your life or any person in your life that does not serve your higher good.

I have always told people that the most important thing to do to use Feng Shui principles in their lives is to get rid of clutter. It is easier to do so when the Moon is in Scorpio.

Now I am also telling people that it may be just as important to only have items in your homes and offices that bring you joy. The two ideas work together. It is easier for me to get rid of what no longer serves me when I ask myself, “Does this bring me joy?”

For help in getting rid of clutter in your home or office or to improve your life by changing your surroundings, call me to schedule a Feng Shui consultation. I charge $90 an hour and it usually takes one to two hours–fee determined prior to consultation.

And yes, I do work with people over the phone, as well as in person. I always looked down my nose at people who did this, until someone begged me and I found out it works! It works primarily because I teach you how to change your surroundings. People send me photos or videos and floor plans, especially the perimeter of their places.

Change your surroundings and change your life!

NEW Bagua Mirrors

Mirrors are usually placed on the front side of the house, either inside or outside of the house, and facing away from the house.

Mirrors can also be placed inside a desk, facing towards the intended target, and on any side of the house, facing towards the intended target.

The concave mirrors invite positive energy into a house or a space. When placing this mirror say aloud what your intentions are, such as, “I am placing this mirror because I want positive energy to enter into my house to make everyone who enters here to be happy, prosperous and healthy.”

The convex mirrors repel negative energy away for a house or a space. When placing this mirror say aloud something to the effect, “I am placing this mirror so that I will not be bothered by any negative energy of any kind, especially …”

You can periodically touch mirrors and say aloud any new intention you wish at any time. You can also repeat the same intention that you did previously.

NEW Money Frogs

Cute, cute, cute Money Frogs should be inside the house relatively close to the front door with their backs to the door, as if they were hopping into the house, bringing you the money.

When placing the frog, say aloud your intention. Feng Shui reminds us that if we always use positive thoughts, positive words and positive actions, we can have what we want in life.

The mirrors and frogs are each only $10 plus shipping and handling ($5 up to $15 total order, $10 for up to $50 and $15 more than $50 in the USA.). Besides these new products, I have old standbys. l provide information along with products, so you know what to do with them.

Hoppy Easter! And that spelling is purposeful.

The Meridian Line was commissioned by Pope Clement XI and was completed in 1702.

The purpose of the line was to know when to celebrate Easter.

Many astronomers and many Popes have been astrologers. It was wonderful for me to see this magnificent cathedral that incorporated worship and prayer, art and science and astrology.

Tell me your Mercury Retrograde stories and I will post them on my blog, Facebook page and emails. Let me know how you want me to identify you (name or initials, city?) You can tell me in person, over the phone, by email or on my Facebook page.

To start off, here are two Mercury Retrograde stories.

Nicole Wheeler of Holton, Kansas said that she has had multiple problems with transportation, work and communication during this Mercury Retrograde period. She hit a pothole and cracked one of her wheels and also hit a wire that popped off a piece of her car. A work-related trip required three emails to finally get the correct date and address of a hotel stay. Her Google maps have been “totally out of whack.”

My daughter Trish Williams of Topeka, Kansas had an old Mercury Retrograde story that is worth telling as a reminder for people who are thinking of buying or selling a house. She and her husband signed a contract for a house on a Friday when Mercury was Retrograde. On Sunday, her husband told me that the realtor told him the paperwork was not done correctly so had to be redone on Monday. On Monday a creek overtook its bank for six blocks and totally flooded the house. This Mercury Retrograde had a happy ending, though, as they were not stuck with the flooded house and ended up buying a better house after Mercury went direct. Mercury Retrograde is not all bad, but it is not a good time to sign contracts that you want to be long lasting.

When my husband and I were in Italy and The Vatican recently, we happened upon a church that was designed by Michelangelo. The church is in Rome and is called The Basilica of St. Mary of Angels and Martyrs, a place of worship and prayer, of art and science. Besides the statues usually found in Catholic Churches, there were also statues of scientists. Besides the incredibly beautiful religious paintings, there were also scientific displays with explanations.

Of special interest to me was a Meridian Line. A hole in the basilica’s ceiling sends a ray of light that lands on the line at exact noon every day. The time of year can be determined by where on the line the light falls. The line is made of bronze, encased in white marble. It is laid diagonally across the floor and is 45 meters long. On either side of the line are the symbols for the signs of the zodiac.

The Meridian Line was commissioned by Pope Clement XI and was completed in 1702. The purpose of the line was to know when to celebrate Easter. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It is therefore important to know exactly when the vernal equinox is.

The vernal equinox is when the sun on its path in the sky (the ecliptic) crosses the celestial equator. In astrology the Sun symbolizes children, so we have symbolically the Son on the cross (the sun is on the point where the ecliptic crosses over the celestial equator.) In astrology the full moon symbolizes completion. It is done. In astrology Sunday is the sun’s (Son’s) day. So, Easter is astrologically timed. The heavens every year mirror the first Easter.

Many astronomers and many Popes have been astrologers. It was wonderful for me to see this magnificent cathedral that incorporated worship and prayer, art and science and astrology. The Cathedral touched my soul, heart and mind.

Your astrologer,

Dianne

LUNAR ECLIPSE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT February 10, 2017

Read tonight so you can be prepared and know when to see it

The full Moon will lose some of its usual luster on Friday night as a dusky shadow creeps across the lunar disk. It’s a penumbral lunar eclipse, visible from parts of every continent except Australia. The uneven dimming of the Moon will be easy to see if you know when to look. Visit today’s edition of Spaceweather.com for observing tips and more information.

My husband and I just returned from Italy and The Vatican. We had a marvelous time! Did you know that many of the Popes either were or had astrologers? Did you know that the largest astrological library is in The Vatican?

The obelisk in St. Peter’s Square in The Vatican functions as a sun dial, not for hours of the day, but for the signs of the zodiac. The shadow of the obelisk falls on symbols of the zodiac.

During our trip we saw many other places that showed symbols of the presence of astrology written in stone. Astrology has been used by people for thousands of years and can be helpful to you, too.

Now that I am home, I am ready to talk to you about your or your loved ones’ birth charts, yearly charts or horary astrology questions. Contact me at 785.232.2836 or Cappie0113@aol.com.

THE BIGGEST FULL MOON IN ALMOST 70 YEARS: On Monday, Nov. 14th, 2016, there’s going to be a full Moon–the biggest and brightest in almost 70 years. The best time to look in North

America is before sunrise on Monday morning, while in Europe the best time is after sunset on the same day.

“The last time we had such a close full Moon was January 26, 1948,” says Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory, “and it won’t happen again until November 25, 2034.”

Full moons vary in size because the Moon’s orbit is not a circle, it’s an ellipse: diagram. One side of the Moon’s orbit, called “perigee,” is 50,000 km closer to Earth than the other side, “apogee.” This Monday’s “supermoon” becomes full about 2 hours away from perigee, a coincidence that makes it as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser moons we have seen in the past.

But will we be able to tell the difference … just by looking? A 30% difference in brightness can easily be masked by clouds or the glare of urban lights. Also, there are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. Hanging high overhead with no reference points to provide a sense of scale, one full Moon looks much like any other.

“I think that the hype over the term ‘supermoon’ is a bit overblown,” says Chester. “In my book every full Moon has something to offer!”

To get the most out of Monday’s apparition, try to catch the Moon just as it is rising or setting. This will activate the Moon Illusion and make the perigee Moon of Nov. 14th look super, indeed. The above is from www.spaceweather.com.

October 20, 2016

METEORS FROM HALLEY’S COMET: Earth has entered a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak during the night of Oct. 20-21 with as many as 10-20 meteors per hour. Glare from tonight’s gibbous Moon will mute the display, but not completely eliminate it as NASA cameras are observing some Orionid fireballs bright enough to be seen in the moonlight. Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and more information.

Spirit Mind Body Fair November 5 and 6, 2016

So many people have been asking me lately if Topeka is going to have the Spirit Mind Body fair this year. The answer is yes, and my son Brian and I will be there. It will be the first weekend in November, the 5th and 6th, at the Expo Center Agricultural Hall west of Topeka Avenue on 17th St., Topeka, KS. I will be giving astrology, card and palm readings and my son will be showing you my Feng Shui products and how to use them. Saturday will be from 10 am until 7 pm and Sunday will be from 11 am until 5 pm.

__________________________________

Three reasons to be happy on and after October 6, 2016

1 . Communication is easier.

2. Traveling becomes less stressful.

3. Machines operate better.

And why? Because at 1:24 pm today Mercury goes out of its shadow. For more information about exactly what Mercury being in its shadow means, go to http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Many of my clients have been telling me that this Mercury being being retrograde and then being in its shadow has indicated problems in communications, traveling and having machines, especially cars, malfunction.

What Mercury is doing is just one of many, many things astrologers look at, but what it is doing does make a difference.

While Mercury was in its shadow, I had a miscommunication with one of my children and had my car recalled because of problems with the passenger airbag.

I would love to hear your experiences with Mercury being in its shadow between September 22, 2016 and October 6, 2016. Please share at www.Facebook.com/AstrologerDianneLawson.

Many, many of my clients have been telling me how stressful this last retrograde Mercury has been for them. Good news! Mercury goes direct today! Click me and I’ll teach you something useful. http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Mercury, the planet that corresponds with communication, transportation and machines has been in apparent backwards motion (retrograde) since August 30, 2016. And it starts going in forward motion today. What does this mean? To see what this means, please go to http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

August 31, 2016

If you’ve been feeling emotional lately, you might want to chalk it up to the Solar Eclipse that is happening tomorrow, September 1, 2016. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon travels exactly in front of the Sun, as seen from somewhere on the Earth. In astrology, the Moon symbolizes emotions and the Sun symbolizes rationality, so around the time the Moon masks the Sun, emotions dominate. Many people will let their emotions carry them away and many will be more emotional than the situation warrants. The best way to handle this emotional energy is to keep busy and not act until we feel more in control of our emotions.

Around the time of Solar Eclipses is great for starting new habits to acquire what we want in life. Since this eclipse is in Virgo, it is a great time to take charge of our daily lives, work habits and health. Starting new diets and exercise programs are more likely to be successful over time if started now.

Eclipses are times of endings and new beginnings, especially in the area in which they fall in your individual birth chart. Eclipses affect everyone differently according to the individual birth chart. If your birthday is a week before or after this eclipse, it will have a major impact upon your life. If you have had your yearly chart done by me recently I included what eclipses mean for you in your yearly forecast.

The yearly chart looks at a lot more than just the eclipses and is a forecast to help you navigate through the next twelve months regardless of when you have it done. If you want your yearly chart done by me, call me at 785.232.2836 or email me at Cappie0113@aol.com.

Mercury, the planet that corresponds with communication, transportation and machines goes into apparent backwards motion (retrograde) August 30, 2016 and is already in its shadow. What does this mean? To see what this means and how that will affect you, please go to http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

So many of my clients love knowing when Mercury is retrograde so that they can plan accordingly. It is good time to wrap up loose ends and to clear out clutter.

SPECTACULAR CONJUNCTION: This weekend, Jupiter and Venus are having a spectacular conjunction in the sunset sky. Separated by only a fraction of a degree, the two brightest planets almost look like they’re going to touch. This heavenly meeting is easy to see from the southern hemisphere, but much more challenging from the north. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and the latest images.

AUGUST 26, 2017

I see astrology like a weather forecast, showing what the weather is likely to be, but it is always up to us what we are going to do to with that knowledge. When it is likely to be perfect outside, we may want to plan to be out in it. It the forecast is rain, we might take an umbrella.

August 27, 2016 through September 3, 2016 is a terrific time to travel, learn, enjoy life, be with people we care about, make money, buy presents for ourselves and others, write and communicate. The Greater Benefic, Jupiter, is very close in the sky to The Lesser Benefic, Venus, and Mercury. Beneficial Jupiter is te planet that has a correspondence to travel, education and luck. Also beneficial, Venus is the planet associated with love, social life, money and possessions. Mercury is connected with travel, learning, writing and communication.

Earlier this year, I wrote about Saturn squaring Neptune, as it is a hard planetary configuration for people to deal with if they are not seeing situations and people realistically and they are not living up to their spiritual beliefs. Mars is now a part of that configuration, as it is very close to Saturn until September 4, 2016, adding more stress, energy and challenge to people’s lives. Saturn squaring (about 90 degrees from) Neptune has been in effect for awhile and will continue through the rest of 2016. Saturn corresponds with structure, responsibility and the real world. Neptune corresponds with spirituality, confusion and deception.

This is a great time for regular spiritual practice and setting time aside for connection to God and nature. Put your spiritual beliefs into practice.

By far, the biggest problem I have seen with Saturn squaring Neptune is that people see people the way they want them to be, rather than the way they really are. Pay attention to what people do, not what they say. Don’t let anyone deceive you and don’t deceive yourself.

To see how these planetary configurations and many more will affect you individually for the next twelve months, you may want your yearly astrological chart explained. For more information, contact me or go to
http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/yearly-chart/

__________________________________________

PERSEID METEOR OUTBURST: Do you love the Perseid meteor shower? This year, you will love it even more. Forecasters say the 2016 Perseids should be twice as active as usual, filling the sky with 200+ meteors per hour on peak nights between Aug. 11th and 13th, 2016. This is happening because Earth is heading for an unusually rich stream of debris from parent comet Swift-Tuttle. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, observing tips, and links to live webcasts of the Perseid outburst.

May 22, 2016. A woman from the UK called me this week to ask if she should go back to a previous modeling agency under the shadow of Mercury. I am sharing my response to her because it is good advice to anyone, including YOU.

Mercury will be leaving being Retrograde and will go into its shadow tomorrow, May 23, 2016. If you don’t understand or you want a refresher on what Mercury Retrograde and the shadow of Mercury mean, go to

http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/

I told her that the matter was controversial and not all astrologers would agree with me, but I would start a new job or go back to a previous agency under Mercury’s shadow, but usually not under Mercury Retrograde, unless necessary, or if my yearly chart was great for career.

I also told her that what is happening in the sky, such as Mercury Retrograde or the shadow of Mercury is important, but what is going on in an individual’s yearly chart is more important. http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/yearly-chart/

I gave myself as an example. Years ago, I started a new social work job under Mercury Retrograde and for a whole host of reasons it turned out really well for me. The job was short-lived-only three months and it led to two more short-lived social work positions, but all three were very happy positions for me. Mercury Retrograde can lead to changes, but not all changes are bad. I knew what I getting into under Mercury Retrograde (the possibility of the position being short-lived or having major changes), but I also knew that my individual yearly chart had great things in store for me. Real astrology includes many, many variables, of which only a part is how the planets in the sky are affecting a person’s individual birth chart.

I also told her that Horary Astrology, the ancient form of astrology that can answer ANY question, would be a quick and easy way for her to find out if she should go back to a previous agency. She could ask something like, “Should I go back to agency X and why?” If you don’t know about Horary Astrology, I urge you to go to http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/horary/

Mercury Retrograde and the shadow of Mercury are important and should be paid attention to, but real Astrology is much more and can be specific to each person. If I can help you understand yourself better, prepare for the future or answer any questions about your life, please let me know.

Mercury Retrograde

How and when will Mercury Retrograde affect you in 2016? Is the bad reputation of Mercury Retrograde deserved? That may depend on where your car breaks down, how badly your travel plans are disrupt…

______________________________________________

On May 9th, at 7 a.m. Eastern the planet Mercury will pass in front of the sun, producing an inky-black spot on the solar disk. You can watch it yourself if you have eclipse glasses or hear it on Spaceweather.com.

Mars closest approach to the earth is May 18 through June 3 when it will appear its brightest. I went outside this morning and was stunned to see how red it looked. I have never seen it that red ever. It’s worth a look. Right now it is visible from about 10 p.m. until about 7 a.m.

Your astrologer,

Dianne

From April 30, 2016 through May 20, 2016, Venus, the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto are all in practical Earth signs. This is a fortunate time to concentrate on practical matters such as budgeting, making money, working hard and concentrating on your career or what you give to the world. Grab opportunities to make more money or to obtain goals. Hard work pays off.

Mercury goes retrograde today, April 28, 2016, joining Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Pluto all retrograde. Wit…h this many planets going in apparent backward motion as seen from the Earth, it can seem as if progress is slow. It is a good time to assess if you are spending your time and energy on what is most important to you.

To see what Mercury, the planet that corresponds with communication, transportation and machines, means when it is retrograde, and how it may affect you, please go to http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

Uranus squaring Pluto (about 90 degrees from), has been in effect for awhile and will continue through the rest of the year. Uranus corresponds with the unexpected and Pluto corresponds with criminals, violence, police, weapons of mass destruction, but also transformation.

What we need to do is to watch out for criminal behavior or possible accidents or violence. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables safe.

If we are wanting to transform any part of our lives, this planetary energy can help us. I know of several people who recently joined a gym, joined Weight Watchers or are working with a doctor or a nutritionist to transform their bodies. I see results for them, many of whom never before were successful in losing weight.

Saturn squaring (about 90 degrees from) Neptune has also been in effect for awhile and will continue through the rest of 2016. Saturn corresponds with structure, responsibility and the real world. Neptune corresponds with spirituality, confusion and deception.

This is a great time for regular spiritual practice and setting time aside for connection to God and nature.

Super Moon Solar Eclipse and Coincidences

There is a Super Moon Solar Eclipse today, March 8, 2016. Unfortunately, we can’t view it from the United States, but it does have an impact on all of us.

First, some interesting and freakish coincidental astronomical facts, then how the eclipse affects us astrologically.

Astronomy

A Super Moon is when the Moon is at its closest to the earth. (Some astrologers think that Super Moon eclipses have stronger effects than other eclipses. I am not one of them.)

A Solar Eclipse is when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, obscuring the Sun’s face.

Coincidences?

Our Moon is the only satellite in our solar system that looks the same size as the Sun does as seen from its planet’s surface. In other words, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that can have a Solar Eclipse.

The distance of the Sun from the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Sun.

The distance of the Moon from the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Moon.

The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth.

Ancient Hindus knew all of the above and incorporated it as sacred geometry in their temples.

Astrology

This eclipse can be seen over the Pacific and Pacific-rim countries, including Indonesia, Malasia, Southeast Asia and Australia. They may have major changes during the next twelve months. I am especially watching all of the Eastern Pacific countries and the Pacific rim of North America for earthquakes, volcanoes and dramatic weather. Because of other astrological patterns in the sky at the time of the eclipse, I am expecting weather extremes and natural disasters, beyond what is usual, for the entire earth.

This Solar Eclipse is in the sign Pisces, so now for the next twelve months we need to be especially careful to be grounded, see situations and people the way they really are and not how we want them to be. If someone else has been fooling us or if we have been fooling ourselves, it can be a time of major disillusionment. Secrets and lies may be coming to light. Don’t be a victim nor try to rescue one.

The positive side of this eclipse is that it is a great time to heal your body, mind and emotions and to get more in touch with your spiritual and artistic side. Take charge of your health. Spend time nourishing your spirit and your creativity. If you are not happy with your health, work or daily routines, now is the time to change them and have positive results.

Eclipses are times of endings and new beginnings, especially in the area in which they fall in your individual birth chart. Eclipses affect everyone differently according to the individual birth chart. If you have had your yearly chart done by me recently I included what eclipses mean for you in your yearly forecast.

December 19, 2015

When you read the following, remember that all planetary aspects can be used for good, some are just easier than others.

There are two very strong planetary configurations in the sky right now, both of which are hard to deal with. The first one, Uranus squaring Pluto (about 90 degrees from), has been in effect for awhile and has been mirroring the chaos, unpredictable and violent happenings in the world. Uranus corresponds with the unexpected and Pluto corresponds with criminals, violence, police, weapons of mass destruction, but also transformation.

Mars is also opposite (about 180 degrees) Uranus, further adding energy, force, drive guns into the picture. Mercury (news, communication) close to Pluto and the Moon (emotions) close to Uranus are also adding fuel to the fire.

You can read your newspaper or watch your television to see instances of this configuration on the world scene.

What you need to do as an individual is to watch out for criminal behavior or possible accidents or violence. I am not saying stay home under the covers, but I am saying guard your temper and take preventative measures. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables safe.

If you are wanting to transform any part of your life, this planetary energy can help you. I know of several people who recently joined a gym, joined Weight Watchers or are working with a doctor or a nutritionist to transform their bodies. I see results for them, many of whom never before were successful in losing weight.

The second planetary configuration is Saturn squaring (about 90 degrees from) Neptune. Saturn corresponds with structure, responsibility and the real world. Neptune corresponds with spirituality, confusion and deception.

This is a great time for regular spiritual practice and setting time aside for connection to God and nature. It is a imperative to structure your life to get your most important goals completed or time can be frittered away.

By far, the biggest problem I have seen with people is that they see people the way they want them to be, rather than the way they really are. They get caught up with feeling good and not recognizing that someone is not worth their time. I often tell my clients that actions speak louder than words. Pay attention to what people do, not what they say. Don’t let anyone deceive you and don’t deceive yourself.

Both of these aspects have been going on for awhile and will continue through the rest of 2015 and 2016. Forewarned is forearmed. I hope this helps you have a good rest of 2015 and a Happy New Year.

Spirit Mind Body Fair

Kansas Expocentre-Agriculture Hall, 17^th and Topeka Blvd. ,Topeka, KS

November 7 and 8, 2015, Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Spirit Mind Body Fair is this weekend and it will be huge with people doing readings and vendors selling books, jewelry, clothing and more. There will also be food, free demonstrations and interesting people.

I will be there helping people solve relationship and career matters, knowing future trends and answering questions and more, by providing card, palm and astrology readings.

My son, Brian Miller, will be there with my Feng Shui products, including several new ones. I am especially excited about three new products that I have been wanting for a long time. I will have another shipment tomorrow and I will tell you more about it later.

1. I sold out of small Money Frogs a long time ago and could not find another supplier for them until now.

2. The new small red crystal paperweights are extraordinary, as light reflects inside them over and over for a spectacular effect. They are great for the most important part of your house–the Fame, Status and Reputation area. That area has a big impact on all of the other areas of your life–relationships, career, wealth and so on.

3. I used to have Ugly Rats which were my best seller, as they help with career. I couldn’t find any more rats that were reasonably priced until recently, and these ones are cute!

I hope you can come. Put it on your calendar.

Venus is retrograde

So many people have asked me about Venus being retrograde that I decided to write and let you know what I think about this. Venus is retrograde July 25, 2015 through September 6, 2015.

A planet is retrograde when it appears to go backwards through the signs of the zodiac as seen from earth. It is due to the relative positions of the earth and the planet.

I have to tell you that I don’t pay much attention to when any of the planets, except Mercury, go retrograde. Retrograde planets have effects, but so do many other astrological happenings.

Venus is the planet that corresponds with love, social life, money and possessions. The books often say that when Venus goes retrograde, people from your past may reenter your life. I haven’t seen that much, but I do think, that Venus retrograde is a good time to rethink your relationships and how you are doing them. Is the person worthy of your time and energy? Are you the person you want to be in relationships? Do you have the kind of relationships you want? If not, do something to change them. What do you need to learn about how you have been handling your relationships?

If you haven’t been handling your relationships to your benefit and the benefit of others, it may feel as if the universe gives you lessons that you need to learn.

When Venus is retrograde is not especially a good time to buy expensive or luxury items. If you do need to buy something big now, just be sure and do your homework to see if it is likely to last and meet your expectations.

Watch the western sky after sunset now through June 30 as Venus and Jupiter get closer and closer until they look like a double star. Venus will be the brighter object and is usually the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon.

Not only do the two planets look beautiful in the nighttime sky, they can bring happiness into your life if you take advantage of the opportunities that they bring. In astrology, Venus is called the Lesser Benefic and Jupiter is called the Greater Benefic, bringing benefits into people’s lives. Having these together makes a “double whammy” of positivity.

They are both in the sign Leo, the sign of love, entertainment, fun, children and creativity. Now is the time to be with loved ones, be entertained, have fun, be with children and unleash your creativity. Don’t let this fortunate period pass you by. Act now to use this planetary power.

I hope this helps you create the life you want.

_________________________________________________________________________

Several people over the last few days have asked me, “What the heck is going on now astrologically?” Lots of people have had miscommunications and changes of plans. Part of the reason is because Mercury went into the shadow period on May 4, 2015 and will go retrograde on May 18, 2015. For more information about that go to http://www.diannelawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/

Knowledge is power. Be flexible and make sure you understand others and they understand you. I hope this helps you create the life you want.

EARTH DAY METEOR SHOWER: Earth is passing through a stream of debris from ancient Comet Thatcher, source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. According to radar data, the shower is peaking today with meteor rates as high as 15 per hour. It’s best to watch it after midnight or at least after 10 p.m. tonight.

_____________________________________________________________

March 2014 is a good month to reassess your life and make necessary changes to create the kind of life you want. It is will be a roller coaster month for you and for the world. Strong planetary energies are in force and will help you make needed changes.

This is a great time to work on relationships as Mars in Libra is retrograde (in apparent backward motion as seen from the earth) now through until May 19, 2014. This is the time to reassess relationships and make them fair and equitable. In astrology, Libra is the sign of relationships, partnerships and marriage, and it also is the sign of fairness and equality. If you have been in a relationship in which you have been doing more than your fair share, perhaps it is time to change the relationship and maybe even let it go. If you have not been doing your fair share, maybe it is time to either recognize why or step up to the plate.

Saturn is also retrograde and will be until July 19, 2014. Saturn is the great teacher of the zodiac and teaches us what we need to learn. Pay attention to how your life is going and make necessary changes to have it be closer to your ideal life.

Saturn is in the sign of Scorpio, the sign of regeneration, transformation and elimination. I plan on working this month on eliminating items from my house that I no longer need or want.

I have talked before about the strong Uranus square Pluto aspect and it remains in force. This is some of what I wrote about it in 2012 on the blog on my website:

Major transformations February 27, 2012 through June 13, 2015.
Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac. When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time. Uranus squares Pluto (is about 90 degrees from) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.

We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets. Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric. It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.

Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed. Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments.

During this three-year period, we see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.

It addition to it the Uranus-Pluto square, Jupiter is square Uranus and opposite Pluto, multiplying the energy to the planetary configuration. Because of the signs these planets are in, Cancer (the sign of family), Aries (the sign of self) and Capricorn (the sign of career or what we give to the world), we may feel pulled in too many directions at once. The key is to have some balance in your life and take care of your family, yourself and your career, as well as you can without any one area taking too much time away from the others.

This can be an exciting time to make changes in our lives if we use these planetary energies wisely. I hope this is of benefit to you.

Space Weather News http://spaceweather.com
PERSEID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a broad stream of debris from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Although the shower won’t peak until August 12-13, when Earth hits the densest part of the stream, the first Perseids are already arriving. Check http://spaceweather.comfor images and updates.

I remember lying out in my back yard as a child watching this annual meteor shower and seeing a HUGE fireball that changed from white to orange to green. It was spectacular. The best time to see meteor showers is after midnight when the earth is moving toward the shower. I’ll be watching for meteors until August 13. Dianne

Finally!

Mercury will leave its Retrograde post-shadow period tomorrow, August 3, 2013. This particular Mercury Retrograde period with its pre-shadow and post-shadow has been causing me a lot of little aggravations.

June 12, 2013

I recently came across an old book that I bought many years ago, called Pluto, by Fritz Brunhubner. It was written in 1934. In that book, the author wrote about a planetary configuration that is happening now. He was so right on, that I thought I would share what he wrote with you.

To preface what he wrote, I will explain what he was talking about. As seen from the earth, Pluto is square (about 90 degrees from) Uranus. This aspect between these two started in 2010 and will last through June 2015.

The following in red ink is from Pluto, and I think it really describes what is happening to our planet, weather, countries and individuals during the period of 2010 through June 2015.

“Pluto square Uranus is an outspokenly catastrophical and combative aspect… One could fill a thick book with descriptions of the disasters and tragedy which is involved in this aspect… Earth and human beings tremble under this cosmic pressure. The adverse aspects incline to explosiveness, sudden fits of rage, fanatical sense of hate, increased self-will and eccentricity. They may be bold, erotic, perverted, licentious, rude, violent…They have a blind zeal, ready to quarrel, wrangle and argue. They are bullheaded, thoughtless, fanatic, impatient, and cannot bear hindrances or delays…

“However, this aspect also brings the good and signifies a very important stage in the evolution of humanity. To be sure, old walls are being torn down, and the old and rusted is being destroyed… We experience inventions of an entirely new kind… which bear the character of daring adventure.”

I understand that Pluto square Uranus shakes up and destroys, but it also makes way for the new and better. This aspect is only one of many—some of which are quite favorable—but this aspect certainly defines the period we are going through right now.

Mercury enters its shadow period today and then will go retrograde. To see how this will affect you, please go to http://www.DianneLawson.com/find_us/mercury-retrograde/.

What happens between lives?

On April’s last two Sunday afternoons, April 21 and 28, 2013, at 12:15 p.m., at Unity Church of Christianity, 9126 SW Tenth St., Anne McCourtie, Dianne Lawson, and Michael Jamison will facilitate a discussion regarding the soul (your true self) and its possible activities between its embodiments in physical lives. To entice your interest in such matters, you could explore three books available through the Topeka/Shawnee County Public Library for loan, or for purchase at www.amazon.com below to order). The titles to are JOURNEY OF SOULS, by Michael Newton; FLIPSIDE, by Richard Martini; and GHOST HUNTERS, by Deborah Blum. Your insightful comments shared in the discussion will likely augment a deeper presentation to be given by your Unity minister at an Infinite Source Church meeting this summer. In the meantime, do some thinking and/or reading outside the box.

During one of my past life regressions, I experienced going to a place between that life and this one. I will share that experience with you.
