The Laws of Silence & Non - Interference

I recently received a question that ran something like this:

I have Spiritual or Other-Worldly Experiences but when I mention these to my family, they tell me it's only my imagination or a dream. I am sure they are real, but after talking with family, I find myself wondering.

Here is my reply:

As for family and what they think or say, time will eventually bring them around. Though that may be lifetimes later.

Never allow the limitations of others to influence you. Because their experiences are not yours, this does not make yours less real. There is a Spiritual Law that states: "When You Know - You Know." No one can take your experience from you - or for that matter, your power - unless you allow them.

Because you want your family to love you, and you equate their words with their love, you throw away your truth. Change this. Accept their love, and honor them. You need to realize that since they do not understand your experiences they automatically place them into a category that works for them. That is fine.

Compare this to working with a little child. You can explain to a child that the chill factor is this percent and the wind factor is that percent and thus the weather is developing into a rainstorm, but all they can hold in their mind is - I need to take an umbrella. All that other stuff is simply not part of their reality. So too, your family cannot understand your reality, thus they classify it into something they can understand - imagination or a dream.

Stand in your power, know who you are, be who you are, and love everyone despite how they respond to your experiences.

Eventually you will learn The Law Of Silence.

The Law Of Silence teaches you to abide implicitly by The Law of Non-Interference.

We invade someone's space when we give them more information than they are ready or willing to take in. Your family is not ready for this information. When they are, they will come to you and ask.

To give someone information before they are ready, is not only an invasion of their space, but it also can disturb their universe, thus creating a karmic issue for you.

It is much better to live by The Law Of Silence, give information when asked, share when the door is open, and leave the rest alone.

Since I believe this information may be helpful to others, I have posted here today.

Blessing to all, may you honor and love yourself.

You are a light to the world, the more you love and nurture you, the brighter you become!

Santa Barbara Fire Forces Odd Bedfellows Fawn & Bobcat




The tragic Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara, CA brought two unsual enemies together - a fawn and a bobcat.

The fawn is about 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks. They immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office for several hours.

The fawn was rescued during the wildfire. Animal Planet has reported the bobcat kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzenegger's ranch. It was dehydrated and near death.

Although wild animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations; in this emergency situation, they had no choice.

During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could, since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn.

The kitten ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.

Compatibility - Venus in Pisces & Mars in Libra



I'm frequently asked on the radio and on the net, compatibility questions.

I always say it is much more complicated than Sun Signs. We are truly complex beings, so you will see successful marriages that make no sense by Sun Sign. You have to look deeper into a chart to get the truth about how compatible two people will be.

Additionally the stages of life are yet another factor. When people are young, the need for sexual attraction is imperative, it is the mating call of the species. Without strong sexual attraction in youth, there would be no reproduction. This does not mean the couple is really all that compatible, but they may marry, and all too often divorce later.

But in later stages of life you will find many different types of attraction emerge, and often a greater depth of compatibility is achieved.

No astrologer will say anyone has developed true maturity until they pass their first Saturn test - the return of Saturn to its original position in the birth chart, which happens around the age of 29 years. Thus many early marriages are more difficult to sustain, though of course some are the result of good karmic fortune.

At any rate, a pat answer to compatibility questions is not possible.

That said, the question on the floor is:


Will a Venus in Pisces Man, & A Mars in Libra Woman Be Compatible?


A man's Venus tells us what kind of woman he would be attracted to, while a woman's mars tells us what kind of man she would be attracted to.

Underlying both of these statements is the issue of love and energy.



Venus in Pisces tells us the man loves romance, dreaming, sleeping, spirituality or drugs, escapism, and has a love of merging with another. The type of woman he would love should have beautiful feet, wear feminine, lacy, ruffled, delicate, clothing. May be religious, spiritual or into some mind altering experience. May be a dreamer.



Mars in Libra tells us the woman uses her energy communicating to create balance, harmony and beauty. She may be an artist, a counselor, mediator, judge, or dating consultant. She wants a man who loves to communicate, is fair, and has an interest in relating to others. Might even be a bit gossipy and that would be fine by her.

How compatible is this Venus and Mars? Not all that compatible by astrological aspect. If both planets were in within a 5 degree orb: say Venus was 15 degrees of Pisces and Mars was between 10 and 20 degrees of Libra, then these planet would be in an inconjunct aspect.

Inconjunct is 150 degrees apart, and it is a very stressful aspect, each planet would be constantly re-assessing the other.

However to ask such a question is limiting, since this is not all that an astrologer will consider to indicate compatibility between two people.

There is much, much, more to consider. The relationship between the individual's Moons would be a better question, or the Moon and Neptune or Moon and Venus. These would say more than just Venus and Mars.

While the aspects between Venus and Mars may be stressful, these planets can find their balance through another planet or better yet, a luminary like the Moon.

Stressful aspects between Venus and Mars may create some attraction, but will result in an unsatisfying sexual connection, though this too could be mitigated in some way through other aspects or placements in the chart.

So where is your Venus & your lover's/mate's/husband's or wife's Mars?
Let me know, and I will tell you what I see.

Inspiring Pony Survivor with Prosthesis

Hurricane Katrina Survivor
Pit Bull Survivor
Three Legged Pony

Though I do not know who wrote this story since I received it in an email, I could not let it go unnoticed. It is heartbreaking, inspiring, and will once more show you how amazing divine beings in animal bodies can be.

Make sure to watch the video clip at the end of this blog to see Molly in motion.




Molly.a dappled charcoal gray pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana. She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected, and her vet went to Louisiana State University for help, but L.S.U. was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.

But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind.He saw how the pony was careful to lie down on different sides so she didn't seem to get sores, and how she allowed people to handle her. She protected her injured leg. She constantly shifted her weight and didn't overload her good leg. She was a smart pony with a serious survival ethic.

Moore agreed to remove her leg below the knee, and a temporary artificial limb was built. Molly walked out of the clinic and her story really begins there.



'This was the right horse and the right owner,'Mooreinsists. Molly happened to be a one-in-a-million patient. She's tough as nails, but sweet, and she was willing to cope with pain. She made it obvious she understood that she was in trouble.The other important factor, according to Moore, is having a truly committed and compliant owner who is dedicated to providing the daily care required over the lifetime of the horse.

Molly's story turns into a parable for life in post-Katrina Louisiana ..The little pony gained weight, and her mane finally felt a comb. A human prosthesis designer built her a leg.

The prosthetic has given Molly a whole new life, Allison Barca DVM, Molly's regular vet, reports.

And she asks for it. She will put her little limb out, and come to you and let you know that she wants you to put it on. Sometimes she wants you to take it off too. And sometimes, Molly gets away from Barca. 'It can be pretty bad when you can't catch a three-legged horse,' she laughs.

Most important of all, Molly has a job now. Kay, the rescue farm owner, started taking Molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Anywhere she thought that people needed hope. Wherever Molly went, she showed people her pluck. She inspired people, and she had a good time doing it.

'It's obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life,Mooresaid. She survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to others.'

Barca concluded, 'She's not back to normal, but she's going to be better.To me, she could be a symbol forNew Orleans itself.'



This is Molly's most recent prosthesis. The bottom photo shows the ground surface that she stands on, which has a smiley face embossed in it. Wherever Molly goes, she leaves a smiley hoof print behind.

Please share this story with anyone who questions the value of animals, as well as with any animal lovers you know.

The Fourth Of July - Independence Day 1776

I thought you might enjoy looking at the chart of the United States on the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which we call Independence Day.

On the day over 200 years ago, a tiny group of 56 men - representatives of the thirteen colonies mutually pledged to each other, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

Though astrologers and historians alike, will dispute the exact time that the Declaration of Independence was finally adopted, it is for certain that it was after lunch. A variety of surviving letters indicate it was in early evening, it was hot, and the flies had become pests.

I use the 2:21 pm chart rectified by Marc Penfield, and here it is for you to view.



This moon in this chart defines a nation that desires freedom, that will have unique and unusual families, and that will be a nation of properties that will cooperate together and be friendly to each other.

All of these statements are part of what our nation is about. We are one of the most unique countries in the world. Our families are mixtures of many cultures, completely different than the majority of countries around the world.

We are composed of independent states that cooperate seamlessly together, yet each is unique unto itself.

Pluto in the third house in Capricorn shows America thinks big, and works through idealistic international organizations or contacts. We empower them, we empower corporations, and we will struggle (Pluto opposed to Mercury in Cancer in the 9th) with international communication, often not appear as nurturing as we think we are. No doubt this is part of the reason we are often called 'The ugly Americans" by foreigners.

With Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the ninth house, we are kings in the world of export/import. We rule the world through media, marketing, publishing, exports and imports.

With Jupiter ruling the 2nd house of money, conjunct the Sun, which rules the midheaven in this chart, we will be very successful with money and our position in the world will be seen as kings.

This chart is an amazing combination for a nation.

But at this moment, I just want to share the human factor of what happened once that document was adopted on that fateful day in 1776.

The 56 men who would ultimately sign the parchment would be hunted down by the British. Many lost their lives, their families and their fortunes.

Five were captured by the British tortured to death as traitors to the Crown.

Twelve had their homes destroyed, burnt to the ground.

Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary War.

Two lost their sons to capture by the British in the War.

Nine fought in the War and died from wounds or hardships.

So who were these men?

Twenty-Four were Lawyers.
Eleven were merchants.
Nine were farmers and plantation owners.

All were men well educated men of means.

Please take a moment today to think of these men, and their families, and all the sacrifices they made so that our nation - The United States of America - could be born.

Here, by State, are the names of the fifty six men who adopted and later signed the Declaration of Independence:
