  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for November 27 through December 3, 2023

    November 27 through December 3, 2023

    The Gemini full Moon will greet us first thing Monday morning, shining a bright light and setting a wonderful tone for the rest of the week. Socially oriented and chatty, this full Moon will make conversations and information gathering a theme for the next seven days. We could feel a bit sensitive or nostalgic Wednesday and Tuesday as the Moon travels through emotional Cancer. Note your feelings, write them down, and then let them go as a ritual for release and growth. Mercury will move into Capricorn on Friday, and our thoughts will turn to all we want to accomplish over the next few weeks. Whether we're wrapping up work or projects for 2023 or simply planning our future moves for 2024, we'll tend to spend a lot of time considering the possibilities and clearing a path to start manifesting them. A Leo Moon hangs high in the heavens Friday through Sunday, encouraging us to focus on meeting our personal needs. If we've neglected any areas of our lives while tending to the needs of others, this is the weekend to step back, reassess where we are with things, and work to restore balance and wholeness before moving full throttle into December.

  • YOUR ASTROLOGICAL GIFT-GIVING GUIDE

    art-1

    by Susyn Blair-Hunt, Ms.D.

    You can find the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list by considering the unique aspects of their astrological sun sign. Of course, everyone will appreciate a gift of enlightenment, so consider giving a gift certificate for a psychic or astrological reading on the new year ahead. You can purchase gift certificates from Susyn at SusynBlairHunt.com.

    ARIES: For the Aries folks on your list, keep in mind that they love movement. Books, movies or gifts related to cars, travel or the latest exercise trends will get their attention. Since they’re fire signs, you can’t go wrong with candles, incense or fragrances. Aries also love to read up on the latest news, so consider extending their favorite magazine subscriptions or adding a new one to their collection. Pennywise Aries will love a gift certificate to their favorite store so they can shop for the best deals at all the post-holiday clearance sales.

    TAURUS: Taurus is the sign of luxury, so consider a gift certificate to their favorite clothing or furniture store. In fact, gift certificates for music, movies, a massage or a favorite restaurant will work too. These earth signs appreciate jewelry, travel and shopping. Since a Taurus will be the first on the block to own the latest electronics, consider a new TV, computer, video game, or cell phone to make their holidays special. For a more practical gift, look for a book, magazine subscription or movie about their favorite subject.

    GEMINI: Intellectual Geminis adore books, electronics and anything that puts them in touch with the latest information. They also love the unusual and unique, so an online search may net a one-of-a-kind item they are sure to appreciate. Candles, incense, music and movies are favorites of this air sign, along with board games, computer software and anything that challenges the mind. Since Geminis are the most talkative sign of the zodiac, a new cell phone or calling card will allow them to chat with abandon, so consider giving them the gift of gab.

    CANCER: You’re wise to shower your favorite Cancer with unique cookbooks, cookware, gardening equipment or a gift certificate to their favorite specialty shop. Since Cancers’ hearts are in the home, special touches that add to their decor such as statuary, throw pillows or original artwork are always appreciated. You might also take them on a shopping spree to IKEA. As one of the most intuitive signs, a psychic reading or class may be a good choice. Cancers have a gift for keeping plants thriving even in the winter time, so a poinsettia or other potted plant can make for a gift that will last well into the new year.

    LEO: As Leos love adornment, jewelry, clothing, makeup and mirrors are great gifts for these fire signs. Lamps, lighting displays, and candles are also great for illuminating their worlds. Personalized gifts are a fun way to spotlight the Leo on your list, so choose monogrammed jewelry, bathrobes or towels. One of their favorite pastimes is coffee and conversation, so consider giving a special blend of coffee or tea along with a fruit or muffin basket; that way, they can share your present with you, since your company is the gift they will appreciate the most.

    VIRGO: The word here is gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets! Virgos love these things, especially if they improve their lifestyle. Maps, globes, or atlases fascinate them, even if most of their traveling is done from an easy chair. Puzzles, games, watches and clocks are also great ideas. Precision tools, craft and hobby items, or journals to record their thoughts will also work. Candles, bath salts, or a massage gift certificate can help these earth signs slow down and relax a bit. And don’t worry: if you simply can’t find anything that seems to fit, just ask them – they will be more than happy to share their carefully considered wish list with you.

    LIBRA: Music, books and art are favorites of Libras, though they also love gift certificates because they like to choose their own presents. Keep in mind that these air signs tend to focus on the spirit of the season more than the loot, and are usually happy with anything they receive. Makeup, jewelry and clothing are great ideas for this trendsetter who likes to keep up with the latest fashions. Libras also enjoy a wonderful meal out, so you could always pick up a gift card to their favorite restaurant. For the creative Libra in your life, a model kit, art set or musical instrument will make their day.

    SCORPIO: Like other signs of the zodiac, Scorpios appreciate gift certificates that permit them to choose their own gifts, as this water sign considers shopping for themselves to be half the fun. Think in terms of touch, smell, sight and sound when choosing Scorpios’ presents; anything that awakens the senses will be appreciated, so consider fur throws, aromatherapy candles, artwork, movies and music. Specialty liqueurs, meats, cheeses and fruit baskets are a few other great options for this sensual and often indulgent sign. Since Scorpios are ruled by Pluto and fascinated by the occult, a psychic or astrological reading for the year ahead could also be very well-received.

    SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians tend to request practical gifts, so surprise them with something totally impractical for a change. Holiday dinnerware or bedding, unusual artwork, flowers or candy are gifts they would never buy for themselves but may really appreciate. A relaxing trip to a day spa is ideal for this fire sign, for Sags tend to nurture the rest of the world and put themselves last. A weekend getaway to recharge is another great idea. If you want to honor their requests for a practical gift, offer to pay their cable bill for a month, or renew a subscription to their favorite publication.

    CAPRICORN: Since this sign never seems to stop, a day planner, 2008 calendar, or briefcase will help them stay organized. If your Capricorn hasn’t already provided with you a list of their holiday requests, think about choosing from the latest gadgets, electronics and tools. Some Capricorns have a penchant for office equipment, so a new office chair, desk or cabinet would work well. Caps are creative as well as practical, so they adore handmade gifts such as albums or videos you might put together of the family or a favorite trip. Consider fruit, flower or a dessert-of-the month club for a gift that keeps giving all year long.

    AQUARIUS: Aquarius rules electronics, so any gift related to computers, media or science appeals to this sign. Water bearers also appreciate innovation and new thinking, so books, magazines and movies that explore these topics will make them happy. Concert and movie tickets, and gift sto their favorite store are always appreciated. Aquarians march to the beat of a different drummer, so cruise the internet for something unusual and offbeat. A glittery cover for their cell phone, one of those tiny new i-Pods, or some flashy bling will make the holidays special for this one-of-a-kind air sign.

    PISCES: Think mystery when choosing a gift for your favorite Pisces. Whether they are into metaphysics, the occult or creative arts, you’re sure to find the perfect gift by visiting specialty stores devoted to these themes. Paints, magic tricks, a deck of tarot cards or a psychic reading may be the answer. If your Pisces shows little interest in those things, try an aquarium, a gift certificate to a day spa, or exotic bath salts to wake up their watery nature. Since Pisces usually love to write, wrapping up a blank journal, a wonderful fountain pen or a computer program that helps them organize their collection of prose or poetry will thrill them.

  • Double Vision: Are Anxiety Attacks Past Life Related?

    I suffer from anxiety attacks, and someone told me that this stems from past life experiences. I can just be sitting there when all of a sudden things start coming to a head, and I feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Is it possible that this stems from a past life? If so, what do I need to do in this life to heal this issue? (I'm a Pisces.)

    - Marilyn

    Dreamchaser:

    Your panic attacks very well could be coming up from repressed past life memories, but even if that's true, it doesn't really matter, because you still have to deal with them in THIS life.

    For the sake of our readers who aren't familiar, I'd like to present some background information on panic attacks. A panic attack is a blast of overwhelming fear that comes without warning and without any clear reason. It is far more powerful than the feeling of being "stressed out" that most of us deal with in our daily lives.

    Symptoms of a panic attack can include:

    * raging heartbeat
    * difficulty breathing, or feeling as though you 'can't get enough air'
    * terror that is almost paralyzing
    * dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea
    * trembling, sweating, shaking
    * choking, chest pains
    * hot flashes or sudden chills
    * tingling in the fingers or toes ('pins and needles')
    * fear that you're going to go crazy or are about to die

    In addition to the above listed symptoms:

    * the attack occurs suddenly, without any warning and without any way to stop it
    * the level of fear is way out of proportion to the actual situation; often, in fact, it's completely unrelated
    * it passes in a few minutes; the body cannot sustain the 'fight or flight' response for longer than that - however, repeated attacks can continue to go away and come back for hours

    Panic attacks are not dangerous; you cannot die from having a panic attack. However, a recent study showed that people who suffer from panic disorder often:

    * are more prone to alcohol and other drug abuse
    * are at greater risk of attempting suicide
    * spend more time in hospital emergency rooms
    * spend less time on hobbies, sports and other satisfying activities
    * tend to be financially dependent on others
    * report feeling emotionally and physically less healthy than non-sufferers
    * are afraid of driving more than a few miles away from home

    I want you to head immediately to your regular doctor and ask for help with this matter. If you do not have a regular doctor, go to ANY general practitioner. You have to start somewhere in your current life to begin to heal this issue, regardless of when or how it began.

    You probably won't be able to make these go away without some type of medical attention. This is not residual karma that can be cleared up instantly with some ritual. There are all kinds of different ways to treat this pattern, so you will have a lot of flexibility in your approach, and lots of options for treatment. Please don't be afraid to go and get help.

    I wish you deep calm.

    *****

    Astrea:

    As Pisces is the most sensitive sign, it's easy for you to get knocked off your "center." Since you probably were a DIFFERENT sign in your prior incarnations (most of us with many past lives have been all 12 signs - 24 if you count both male and female incarnations), most likely what you're experiencing now is a result of your current life situation as opposed to past life issues.

    To discover WHY you have all these fearful thoughts, I recommend you work with a qualified psychotherapist ñ hopefully someone who can help you with some meditation techniques that you can use to calm yourself when this happens to you. There are also many new wonderful medications that can help with anxiety, as well as other medications that could be making these attacks worse.

    Be sure you know your doctor well enough to tell her if you're taking any of these medications and things aren't going as they are supposed to. As I'm not a physician myself; I urge you to find a well qualified therapist who is trained to help you find the KEY to why this is happening. Something in your childhood or recent adulthood triggered these feelings, so look for answers in your current life experiences.

    Beware of people who tell you that this is a result of something from a past life, as this seems to be one of the new and more popular scams for separating you from your money, Honey! I've had several recent letters from close friends who were suckered by some fake psychic who told them they needed charts, graphs and reports to clear up their Karma! These charts and graphs may cost THOUSANDS of dollars, but the creeps assure them that once they're through, they will know what is causing their anxiety attacks/bad luck/unhappiness, etc., and they'll be "cured" of the problem!

    No matter how intelligent or educated a person may be, they can still be vulnerable to scam artists. This "past life" scam seems to be the latest evolution of the old "cursed money" scam, in which folks were told to bury cursed money somewhere, which the scam artist would then go dig up. By telling someone it's something from a past life, the fake psychic can charge people for both the past life reading and for whatever service they say will lift this "curse."

    Anxiety attacks usually stem from experiences in this lifetime. While karma from our past lives CAN follow us into our current incarnation, guilt, worry, and doubt generally don't. Get with a counselor who can actually help you deal with the REAL problem. Of all twelve signs, you Pisces folks benefit the most from therapy, because you are the most likely to take it SERIOUSLY!

    Astrea:

    Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

    Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

    While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

    I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

    As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

    I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

    You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

    Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

    A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

    You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
