Shirley Temple, I Still Love You!

2007-11-27T19:03:00.004-08:00

Shirley Temple was the big thing with the girls when I was a kid. If my sisters could generate a dime, they went to one of her movies. Being a boy, I was only interested in war and western movies. That is until puberty, when I was interested in war, westerns, and any movie starring a sexy woman. When "The Outlaw" came to our town, we snuck off to see it. Wow!

I mainly watched Shirley Temple movies with my kids on television. She was a cute little tyke with the cute dimples and all. Shirley also made some movies as a teenager. I've seen a couple of these on television and the first thing I noticed was that she talked the same way as she did as a child. Some director! Well, maybe that is the way she still talks. Anyway, I think that is what ended her career although I haven't talked to her about it and I'm afraid to call her:

"Shirley?"

"Who is this?"

"John Jones, the writer."

"I've never heard of you. Can I help you?" (She is always so sweet and polite, I think.)

"It's not an alias, Shirley."

"Same answer. What do you want, Mr. Jones?"

"Actually, it's Dr. Jones."

"Same answer. What do you want, Dr. Jones?"

"I wanted to ask you what happened to your movie career."

"Nothing happened except, like all movie careers, it ended."

I would be afraid to ask her about the child-like dialogue of her teenage movie era. I would say, "For the United States of America, I would like to thank you for your many years of service to our country, as Ambassador, White House Chief of Protocol wizard, and all that."
Tip! Loving-Kindness Meditation Generating unconditional love requires effort at first. The Buddhist's Metta Meditation is a good meditation to help generate unconditional love towards all beings.

"You don't sound like a writer, Dr. Jones, but I thank you for your kind words anyway."

That's when she would hang up on me before I could ask her why Gerald Ford sent her as Ambassador to the Republic of Ghana.
Tip! Spa Treatment-Men will love it too..

He's the president who made her White House Chief of Protocol, so I guess he made up for it.

Betty probably said, "Gerald, what in the hell is wrong with you, sending Shirley Temple to Ghana! You should have sent her to Kashmir. Next time, ask me first!"
Tip! Bake fortune cookies that contain special “I Love You” messages.

He got the point, I guess. (Well, if you are not a Washington insider, you must guess.)

Anyway, Shirley Temple kept acting after her movie career. She was on television and the radio. Her second husband, Charles Black, was probably a major factor in her life in doing governmental service, but she has hobnobbed with all the presidents of her time and they would influence her too. (All except for Gerald Ford who sent her to Ghana.)
Tip! Maintaining health and wellness so you can turn up for love.

Shirley took her husband's name. That impressed me. It showed she had class. She became a very mature, beautiful woman. She has made those wonderful contributions to our country. That is why we all love Shirley Temple Black.

Very personal P.S.: I really love you, Shirley Temple! John

Zodiac Love Match - Can the Stars be Right?

2007-11-27T19:03:00.003-08:00

As a somewhat older gentleman (but still fairly good looking and somewhat romantic?) I have always enjoyed good relationships with the younger folk - Oh! The times I have been called upon over recent years to inspect and give an opinion on some poor new prospective boyfriend.

Of course, it is somewhat flattering to be consulted for such advice by pretty young females. However, my opinions and comment are based more upon my experienced knowledge of the devious thinking of younger males (I once was one) rather than any psychic ability.
Tip! He finds it difficult to tell you he loves you.

I have always held a very open mind to most matters and my sideline interest in psychic and astrology subjects has been generated more as result of relationships with members of the fairer sex who dally in such areas.

More recently, with time on my hands due to health reasons I tended to read more on the subject and, in particular, that of the compatibility of people under their different zodiac signs. So, out of simple curiosity I conducted a simple experiment.

I prepared two lists on which I set down the names of numerous males and females that I had known over the years - friends, lover's, business etc.
Tip! By drawing near to your Creator, the Source of all life, you in turn will experience new love and new life.

I then noted alongside each name my relationship with that person as Excellent-Excellent Romantic-Good or Average. After this, I noted down where possible, each person's birth date and Zodiac sign. I made many phone calls and researched many old dairies to complete this particular information.

An analysis of the lists threw up that, throughout my life, my most excellent relationships had been with Arian's, Leo's, Aquarian's, Geminis, Taurean's and Sagittarian's. Of these, my most Romantic 'Excellent relationships' had centred upon Leo's, Gemini's & Arian's plus, one very special sensual Scorpio.

Zodiac research indicated that the female Sagittarian offered the best compatibility choice for my sign of Aries; there were no Sagittarian female romances on my list of females.
Tip! Couples that are in love, and I mean actually still in love after years of being together, feel younger. Ageing seems to be slowed down by a loving situation.

There was however, one female at the beginning of my list. She dated way back to my lecherous youth and due to the haze of time I could not recall or remember her birthday.
Tip! Having a photo wall of those you love.

As I sat one evening and reminisced back some 40 years to that time, I had to conclude, with a somewhat lecherous smile on my face, that this lady had to be the best and most exciting romantic relationship in my life to date. This was a young male older women relationship and a bit of a social no-no at that time. Might turn it into an Ebook one day entitled - 'Lady Sagittarian's Lover' or something similar.

My curiosity gained the better of me and I set to work to trace her and in time managed to locate her surviving son. From him I gained her birthday to discover she had indeed been a Sagittarian.
Tip! Give your loved one a top ten list: Top Ten Reasons Why I Love You. (It's okay to include bonus reasons.

Can the stars be right? I don't really know. I can say however that in my case, without doubt, that lovely Sagittarian lady of so long ago was indeed the most exciting romantic activity of my life to date.

Who knows, there may yet still be another fantastic Sagittarian girl out there for this optimistic older Arian? Although one of a little lesser vitality than that exciting Sagittarian princess of so long ago.

"When Will You Find Love?"

2007-11-27T19:03:00.002-08:00

So many clients who are unattached and yearning ask the old question, "When will I find love?" It's actually a good astrological question, and can be seen in Western astrology by many different patterns. Let's look at some of them. Of course, the most obvious item to focus upon is Venus, the planet of love. (For "progressed", think secondary or solar arc.) VENUS Progressed Venus conjunct Natal Sun (or vice versa, Progressed Sun conjunct Natal Venus) is usually the best indicator of a year when the universe throws open the doors and love walks into your life, and when you would draw another to you who has affectionate feelings for you. This is a time in life when you would not be meant to be alone. However, the love object may not be a romantic or permanent one. My case studies reveal that, in one instance, this pattern identified the period that a child was adopted by a never-married single parent (the child being the true soul mate ), and in another, the pattern pointed to a love affair that put the final nail in a disintegrating marriage and set the individual upon an important life path…but did not result in marriage. In the former situation, the mother also had Progressed Venus entering H7 (another obvious prognosticator) and conjuncting the Natal Part of Fortune therein, and in the latter, the relationship could be seen in retrospect as an important soul agreement though not meant to result in permanence. Progressed Venus conjunct Progressed Sun (or vice versa, Progressed Sun conjunct Progressed Venus) is very similar in nature, as would be Progressed Venus conjunct ruler of H7. In the latter case, the nature of the planet acting as ruler would greatly influence the type of relationship formed. For example, if Saturn, possibly an older or serious partner; if Mercury, a younger or friendly type.

Likewise, Progressed Venus conjunct Sun/ or Moon/Descendant midpoint, Progressed Sun conjunct Venus/Descendant midpoint, or Progressed Ascendant or Descendant conjunct Sun/ Venus midpoint would also be good indicators of a period in the life-clock during which a loved one might appear. (My observation is that this quest for love isn't really just about romance, because that's not always lasting. The real issue seems to be about permanence in love - that is, marriage or a long-lasting relationship - so I'll focus upon H7 rather than H5.)

Conversely, Progressed Sun conjunct Venus/Ascendant midpoint might signal a love relationship (depending on the rulerships of the Sun or Venus), but might just as easily indicate a period of comfort, self-love and personal beautification. For those who work with declinations, similar indicators would also been seen by Sun/Venus, Venus/Ascendant or Venus/MC parallels.

Of course, should any of these delightful aspects occur at a very young age, their benefits will be pretty much wasted in terms of longterm attachments, but there are stories of youngsters bonding with a friend or neighbor who later becomes their true love…or at least their lifelong buddy.
Tip! Snowplowing Service for the Winter-Why not treat that special someone to 3 months of snowplow service during the Winter's stormiest and coldest time. Your loved one can stay warm and dry while someone does the dirty work for them.

A Venusian progression to itself - that is, Progressed Venus conjunct Natal Venus - can only occur when the Natal Venus is retrograde at birth, and then turns direct during the lifetime, or when a Natal (direct) Venus turns retrograde. And since Venus' retrograde lasts about 43 days (thus, 43 years by progression), being born closest to its stationing would best ensure enough time for this return to occur. Such a period will emphasize the nature of Venus' natal significance at the same time that it brings its Venusian qualities to the forefront. If natally well-aspected, happiness can be brought forward; if afflicted, financial, romantic, or indulgency problems can be emphasized.
Tip! Maintaining health and wellness so you can turn up for love.

OTHER PATTERNS

But besides these obvious involvements of Venus, there are other conducive patterns as well. Slightly less obvious are: Whenever the angles are involved with Venus or H7, there is a good chance of love appearing in one's life, such as Progressed Ascendant/Descendant strongly aspecting Natal or Progressed Venus or ruler of H7, usually a positive signal for marriage, or Progressed MC strongly aspecting Natal or Progressed Venus or ruler of H7, another great time for love, even if the aspects are hard (because, after all, how hard can a Venus aspect be?). In fact, either of these would be wonderful to schedule a wedding around, as would Progressed ruler of H7 strongly aspecting Natal or Progressed Venus. Even a less obvious aspect, such as Ruler of H7 in a feasible aspect to an angle or a love-connected planet, might predispose to a marriage-type energy.
Tip! Spa Treatment-Men will love it too..

A Progressed Venus in major aspect to Natal Neptune is frequently found at times of romantic events such as weddings, but tends to glamorize the emotions and cloud the reality of the relationship. Such unions will face greater-than-usual trials regarding the longevity of the marriage, but can certainly survive the progression if an effort is made after its passage to deal with the less-than-ideal characteristics of the partner that would then be revealed. Then there are indicators for relationship that just generally emphasize its potential, such as Progressed Moon into Libra or H7, or Progressed planets into H7, or even the Involvement of the Vertex when found in H7. (The Vertex, normally found in Houses 5-8, by my observation works as a fulcrum around which key events are shaped; thus, if in H7, key partnerships will be accented when the Vertex is activated.) If the natal chart has planets in H7, progressions or outer planet transits to them will certainly accentuate relationships (but such horoscopes will always be dealing with partners - or consequences of the lack thereof - as that was part of the life plan). Venus-Moon patterns often result in an individual's general contentment, but do not necessarily show romantic involvement; sometimes they signal the birth of children.
Tip! Writing love letters to each other and posting them.

In regards to harmony in a relationship once formed, look to one partner's Progressed Venus tracking another's Progressed Sun, and vice versa, or both Progressed Venuses tracking each other (a situation not always shown by conjunctions between comparative Venuses in the natal charts, since this occurrence will be determined by the age difference between the two individuals as well as their natal patterns). Of course, the topic of synastry is a separate one, to be applied after a relationship has been formed in order to analyze the positive and negative potential between the two horoscopes, and so does not fall into the parameters of this article.
Tip! I set priorities for my daily activities according to what I feel most inspired to do. My schedule is filled only with what I love.

LESS LIKELY TO BE PERMANENT

Finally, there are patterns that might spark love, but offer the least long-term assurance of permanence: Transiting outer planets conjunct Natal or Progressed Venus or ruler of H7 will play up the qualities of these planets, but can be unpleasant or fleeting just as easily as the opposite, depending upon the meaning of the transiting planet or the natal potential of the transited planet. For example, Uranus over Venus might lend an exciting but impermanent love experience while Saturn could be either restrictive or serious. Neptune would probably cause delusional fantasies about the partner or bring a weak or compromised person into one's life whom one would wish to rescue. And Pluto, of course, would likely offer a powerfully transformative experience that could alter one's approach to sex, love or money forever! Transiting outer planets into H7, on the other hand, would likely highlight the need to deal closely with others, but far less likely, the arrival of love.
Tip! I ask myself what I would most love to express in terms of my life direction and purpose. I get in touch with what inspires me, and then I follow through with my actions.

A FALSE FEAR

Anyone who trusts in the truths of astrology should discard forever the fear that aging ruins your chances for love. It's a myth. For example, I had a 70-year-old female client, an artist, who found a suitor when her Progressed Sun was sextile her Ascendant while her Progressed Venus was opposite her Moon, and his Progressed Venus was trine his Neptune, crossing his South Node. (The latter pattern shows a love-connection from prior lifetimes.) Once meant to occur (by any of these afore- mentioned patterns), the universe will go to great lengths to put two people together. People will meet "accidentally" or on distant trips to places they will never revisit, or will be introduced by a third party who will never again appear in either of their lives. Coincidence or synchronicity will abound, and the non-astrologer will remain amazed by such "luck," whereas the astrologer will nod knowingly as the Divine Plan is revealed through cosmic mathematics.
Tip! Memorize your favorite love poem.

When one of these patterns kicks into your chart, you'll watch the door of love open wide in your heart. But it will be up to you to keep its flame kindled thereafter. One caveat, though: as I said before, Venus symbolizes love, not necessarily between two romantic partners. I have several examples in my files in which one of these patterns brought a soul-mate into the life in the form of a beloved child. Venus can also symbolize pleasure and financial wellbeing. The right match can even bring pleasant financial conditions along with love (such as marrying well), if the horoscope predisposes. But if the natal chart doesn't do so, then positive Venusian aspects will bring other types of love (such as the above-mentioned never-married adopter whose difficult Natal Sagittarius Sun/Moon/Saturn t-square precluded marital possibilities in the incarnation).
Tip! Eliminating Prejudices Universal love is unconditional and without any bias or prejudice. If you have a certain prejudice towards certain people or race, try to make an extra effort to love them unconditionally.

CASE STUDIES

Some case studies of Venusian patterns revealing strong love-based events in my files are as follows: Forty-six-year-old widow meets second spouse - Progressed Sun semi-sextile progressed Venus, and Progressed Moon into H7. Seventy-year-old-female is courted - Progressed Sun sextile Ascendant, and Progressed Venus opposite Moon. Divorced female meets second spouse - He: Progressed Venus conjunct Sun; Her: Transiting Uranus conjunct Venus, and Progressed Moon in Libra. Life-changing affair for female: Progressed Venus conjunct Sun. First marriage for young eligible bachelor - Progressed Venus sextile Ascendant, and sextile Node; Progressed Moon into H7.
Tip! Loyalty, always standing up for and speaking well of your lover.

Love and the Stars

2007-11-27T19:03:00.001-08:00

Astrological Compatibility

Compatibility decides the future of any relationship. Zodiac compatibility predicts the ease with which a couple can get along while respecting each others feelings and opinions by a comparison of personalities.

A good relationship requires the continuing efforts of each partner to make the match a lasting one. The stars can possibly guide us in the choice of a soul mate. But, once true love has bloomed, it doesn't need the stars.

Love at first sight

Has it ever happened to you? Suddenly without warning you meet someone special and you feel that you have known them all of your life. The two of you fall into an instant harmony. Time melts away as this strange attraction takes hold and leads you into a relationship that you never saw coming.
Tip! He seems to have lost interest in making love with you.

This blending of personalities is one of the wonders of life. It can lead us to happiness or heartbreak depending on our resolve and willingness to help it to flower. Love takes hold only if we open or hearts to one another with childlike simplicity.

Love and the Stars

It could be the stars. It could be magnetism or some orientation that exists between your Signs of the Zodiac that brings two people together. Since the beginning of recorded history many people have experienced this phenomenon. Many attribute this state of attraction to the stars.
Tip! Stick an “I Love You” note on his or her steering wheel while they are at work.

If the stars can bring us together it is only our hard work that makes such a relationship a lasting one. The binding of two souls will always be a work in progress. It is a journey that spans mountains and valleys of emotion, alternating between the light and the darkness. Only those with the desire to become one with their partner can ever hope to succeed in this quest.

There are many things in this life that we do not understand. Love is certainly one of them. Love can take many shapes and it wears many disguises. But, there is one universal truth that should guide us. Love is a positive thing it builds up it does not tear down. The true union of love is an upward flight of spirits not a death spiral.
Tip! I release all blame on others about my life circumstances, and from this moment forward take personal responsibility to create the life I love to live, one moment at a time.

Psychic Love Advice

2007-11-27T19:03:00.000-08:00

A psychic reader is a person who is believed to possess extra sensory perception (ESP) and is a highly intuitive individual. A psychic is looked upon as a source to help people understand the turmoil in life and provide information about the future. However, in the vast spectrum of problems mankind faces, psychics are most likely to be asked about love more than any other factors of life.

Human beings are known to be highly emotional individuals. Of all our sentiments, love is known to be most vulnerable. People have spent lifetimes looking for true love and understanding the term. People around the world would almost always do anything for love. There are situations in life when people have selected love over food, shelter or money.
Tip! Cleaning the kitchen as an act of love.

People are always contemplating whether they are in the right relationship or what they should do to turn the relationship around. In modern times more and more people are turning to a love psychic to understand their love life. These psychic readers are known to be capable of deciding whether couples energies are attuned or not.

Love in itself is a concept that deals with energy and vibrations. This energy could include sexual vigor or the vitality and enthusiasm of true love. Many people have a hard time understanding this difficult emotional subject. Hence, more and more people are consulting love psychics to understand their relationship. A love psychic usually refers to astrological charts to verify compatibility of partners.

There are a number of love psychics who not only provide advice but also have a reputation of being able to bring peoples love back in case of a broken heart. This system involves using a ‘love spell,' wherein the person who is trying to get away is held back by spiritual powers. Many people opine this results in a negative karmic cycle. Consulting a psychic for love advice is a matter of personal choice and only individuals opting for it can decide if it is the right advice or not.
Tip! Snowplowing Service for the Winter-Why not treat that special someone to 3 months of snowplow service during the Winter's stormiest and coldest time. Your loved one can stay warm and dry while someone does the dirty work for them.
