"I have a large seashell collection which I keep scattered on beaches all over the world." Steven Wright
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW 2011: ADDENDUMS
Pluto, the planet of transformation, was discovered in 1930, coinciding with the birth of Fascism and the rise of the third Reich in Germany. Its name is synonymous with Hades, God of the Underworld, and, if one believes in synchronicity, represents the transpersonal force of our collective shadow or dark side.
"We always have free will in how we choose to deal with our body karma as it arises and this choice determines our destiny." After doing thousands of psychic readings and past-life therapy sessions dealing with the health of the physical vessel, I've decided it would be helpful to elucidate some of the basic premises which have become abundantly clear from my decades of experience in this area.
What is meditation? By my definition, it's any practice, technique or trick that quiets the mind and allows one to just BE. The goal of meditation is to experience at least a taste of pure bliss. This level of cosmic consciousness is described by a multitude of labels in different spiritual traditions including: Enlightenment, satori (a glimpse of enlightenment), one taste or the non-dual state, samadhi, moksha, heaven or nirvana, Satchitananda--pure truth, consciousness, bliss--being one with the Tao,and many more.
The earth plane is one of many schools for soul evolution. Each lifetime is a different class. In between inca ations, any unresolved karmic baggage weighs our souls down and keeps us from flying high in other dimensions. In other words, we're bound by the wheel of karma which pulls us back into countless inca ations to learn the lessons which can only be taught from within the human experience.
Neptune, the planet named for the God of the Sea, has now fully entered his home sign of Pisces until 2024. Our Neptunian energies govern a range of consciousness from illusion to illumination, delusion to enlightenment. Neptune's transit of Pisces means that we can expect everything associated with Neptune's scope of rulership to be experienced more powerfully than in any other sig AND, in terms of the mass consciousness, the dichotomy between the highest levels of Neptune's range and the lowest may become increasingly more pronounced.r
One of the best kept secrets of Presidents, CEOs and billionaires, including Ronald Reagan, Walt Disney and J. P. Morgan, is that they all sought advice from astrologers before making major decisions. They knew that one of the most crucial factors in the success of their endeavors was in choosing the optimal time to make their move.
According to Jung, the craving for alcohol is a low-level spiritual thirst for wholeness. I'll concur with that and add that ALL addictions mask a spiritual hunger to fill the hole in us that can ultimately only be satisfied by a sustainable experience of Cosmic Consciousness or Oneness with Source. That's because the hole in each of us is infinite and nothing less tha Infinite Being can fill it.
1. I would meditate daily as if I were sitting on the highest ledge in the Himalayas witnessing the karmic wheels of all souls spinning round and round in an infinite amusement park called Leela, Cosmic Play . . . and smile. 2. I would be aware of my ete al nature while simultaneously being fully engaged on the personality level in the play of the Earth Game . . . and smile. 3. I would acknowledge that everyone is always trying to help me in some way as part of my curriculum in Earth School, if I would only allow them to, say "Thank you" . . . and smile.
Dear One, This is the hardest newsletter I’ve ever felt called upon to write. Why? Because I wish I could share more unequivocally positive coming attractions for 2017 and beyond. So, I apologize in advance for not pulling my punches. But, those of you who know me well personally and/or have received readings from me will get that I always call it as I see it, and now that I’m in my sixties, I’m perhaps even more blunt and less of a people-pleaser as my psychic gifts mature.
"Your crown has been bought and paid for--all you need to do is put it on your head." James Baldwin When big-hearted, abundance-loving Jupiter transitions into noble Leo on July 16th, it kicks off a year-long theme of claiming our Divine uniqueness and letting it shine. Osho (aka Rajneesh), one of my favorite trickster teachers, who, of course, had Jupiter in Leo, says it best:
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” CARL JUNG Attention, seekers: Satu is moving into Sagittarius on December 23rd, 2014! This means we are entering a new two-and-a-half to three-year-cycle that is most positive and interesting—as Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, planet of our most abundantly buoyant energies and the natural ruler of the ninth house of becoming a seeker of the truth through higher teachings which expand the consciousness. YAY!
Spiritual teachers come in all shapes, sizes, colors and sexes—and many of the truly Great Ones will always choose to remain in disguise and anonymous while in a human inca ation. Here is the definitive teaching of the Buddha on this subject, called The Four Reliances: Rely on the message of the teacher, not on his personality; Rely on the meaning, not just on the words; Rely on the real meaning, not just the provisional one; Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind.
What do we need to do to have these good feelings more of the time? I'm glad you asked! It's one of my favorite themes, and I hope it will become one of yours too.

We have just until July 16th, 2014 to remember all the lessons and reasons for gratitude we've received from the passage of Jupiter in the sign of his exaltation, Cancer. To review: "What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe." Rumi When magnanimous abundance-loving Jupiter transitioned into heart-centered nurturing Cancer,the sign of his exaltation (i.e. highest expression) on June 25th, 2014, it kicked off a year-long theme of learning how to enjoy giving and receiving abundance on all levels.

"The miracle of your being cannot escape itself. Your thoughts blossom into events. Your beliefs grow as surely in time and space as flowers do.” SETH We’re kicking off the winter season with a super-charged New Moon Solstice event on December 21st AT THE SAME TIME Trickster of Awakening Uranus stations direct in revolutionary Aries. We couldn’t ask for better planetary synchronicity indicative of major new, unexpected and consciousness-expanding events coming into our personal realities and onto the world stage over the coming year.
“Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fearr I thought that you'd want what I want sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns Quick, send in the clownsr Don't bother They're here” Dear One, Happy New Year! As 2017 begins, I’ve decided that the most worthwhile thing I can do, even more important than personal resolutions, is share an attitude of gratitude and cosmic humor, especially this year as the tone of the mass consciousness needs all the help it can get right now.
“Learn the art of taking your stand on the Truth within. When you live in this Truth, the result is a fusion of the mind and the heart and the end of all fears and sorrows. It is not a dry attainment of mere power or intellectual knowledge. A love which is illumined by the intuitive wisdom of the spirit will bless your life with ever-renewing fulfillment and never-ending sweetness.” Meher Baba Dear Friend, So many of you have lost loved ones in the past year and asked me to specifically address this topic from a spiritual perspective—so here goes.
“Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheelr Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reelr As the images unwindr Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind” In the last few months, I’ve counseled more than the usual number of you who’ve been going through a “Dark Night of the Soul,” a few even contemplating suicide. This has moved me to share some of my views on this completely organic and essential part of our Soul’s journey of awakening, especially since I’m in such a challenging period myself and know just how yucky it can be.

Then, on May 17, Venus will once again be full-steam-ahead as she passes over her direct shadow right smack in the middle of initiating Aries, clearing the way for some enjoyable times ahead.
“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself, becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. If the cat made up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid and would just be a bag of broken bones upon landing. In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling out of a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born we were kicked off a precipice and we are falling—and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
“We want to change our lives, rather than use our lives, the present moment, as part of our spiritual practice. But, in order to really capture the energy of nirvana and become one with it, we need a partnership with the ordinary world. If we never tire of situations, our energy is joyous. If we are completely open, fully awake to life, there is never a dull moment. The bodhisattva does not strive at all, he just lives.” Chogyam Trumpa Dear Friend,

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” RUMI
“From the Buddhist point of view, the Chinese officer who is committing the cruel act against the young boy is initiating a new cycle of negative karma. In the case of the child, there is a closure of a particular karma that the child is experiencing. The perpetrator of the crime is in fact an object of more compassion and mercy than the child. “ THE DALA LAMA For more: “Teachings to Surprise and Inspire” at joanpancoe.com Dear Friend,
When I was much younger and more naive, I used to buy into the New Age belief that we create our personal reality 100% of the time based on our thoughts. But, I've come to realize that this is only a partial truth. And, while our beliefs certainly do influence and affect our experience of reality, sometimes in a major way, there's much more going on in this plane of relative truth (aka the Earth Game) than what we think we have control over.

Each person gets their karmuppance. We get everything we want—sooner or later, if not in this inca ation, then in another. And often when we finally get it, we don't want it. As the process of karmic fruition speeds up, our lives get freer and freer from attachment and we create less and less karma.” RAM DASS Dear ONE, Our biannual Eclipse season is upon us, ratcheting up the intensity and setting up the themes for the next six months and beyond, as it always does.
