USING
ASTROLOGY TO GO PLACES! FINDING YOUR POWER HOURS

HOROSCOPE MAGAZINE)
It is possible to use astrology to catch that 'tide which taken at its turn'
can ---make us all rich and famous. To achieve maximum success, it helps to
make our audacious bids for power and key career moves when something's shaking
up in the sky.
Picking good astrological
moments are something that even a child can determine. I mean it literally.
When I was 13, my mother,--an AFA astrologer,--taught me to read an ephemeris.
At age l7, I was able to spot a coming Jupiter transit to my natal l0th house
Uranus in Taurus. (Tenth house makes me think career; doesn't it you?) I knew
that it would help if another planet or two linked with that Jupiter, looked
ahead, and found a day when the Sun and Moon touched it off. I called a big
talent agency and made an appointment for that magic Jupiter day. Lo and
behold, after the meeting, I was signed for representation which launched a
career acting in television--ruled by the planet Uranus. Ever since, I makes my job have
been guiding ---not only myself through life, but m stargazing clients, using
the 'power hour' system.
Magical and highly useful days can be spotted by any
astrologer who takes an ephemeris and figures out the aspects that the moon and
planets make to each other in the sky.
For instance, Sun conjunct Jupiter with the Moon linked
to both would be a good day to do business. If you knew of such a day and
wanted to share this information you would only have to type up a text
for the day describing the great aspect and mentioning the peak hours. If you
were a typist, you might do a week's worth, blow by blow, good hours, bad ones.
Now, imagine gifting this 'star map' to friends and clients.
When they used this text, doing business deals on power
days, lying low on stressful days, they would be in tune with the universe, and
would score better than usual at making money, new friends, clients and
profitable business deals and not spin their wheels on limp and hopeless days.
On "DIAMOND DAYS," they'd hustle from dawn to
dusk. On "DUD DAYS" they'd kick back, watch t.v. and not make waves
or they'd do hard, unpleasant work that is 'good and proper use of Mars
Saturn aspects.
Well, as you can imagine, that would be a very useful
document and you would quickly become very popular with your friends.
As an astrologer-for-hire in Hollywood, California, I am
called upon to calculate just such days and hours for high power clients,
freelance businesspeople who are constantly seeking to achieve success in
realizing their ideas and projects.
Screenwriters want to know when to pitch the script.
Actors want to know when to go on that first interview for a part or when to
woo a new agent or when to simply stroll into the studio commisary for lunch
and nab attract producers' attention. Even producers need to know when to
approach the studio heads for funding.
That's not to say 'civilians' can't use astrology in
exciting ways, too. A soon to be groom-client wanted to marry at the right hour
so he'd never lose her. I picked Moon and Venus conjunct and ten years later,
they're still on the honeymoon.
A surgeon gets a daily report, a week at a time, hand
delivered to his home. Long ago I explained to him the old rule that 'where the
moon is, expect bleeding after surgery' which suggests that one shouldn't
operate on the part of the body ruled by that day's moonsign. Wonder if he remembers
that discussion. Just in case he doesn't, occasionally I'll customize his
StarPower Map of the Month to remind him.
Among my regulars, there's an artisan/manufacturer who
wants to know when to approach department stores or decorators with his beautiful
wares. As a bachelor, he is probably using the VENUS hours for the
single-mingle, to meet sweethearts. He's on the East Coast, so I mail him his
Power Hours a week at a time and circle the Venus hours with a pink marker.
There's a famed Hollywood matchmaker who wants to know
when she should have her romance-seeking clients meet for the first time so
they'll fall in love. She gets her StarPower by fax machine. Lot of pink ink on
that one, too. Another client has a modem on a 486 and gets his data on his
home PC while he sleeps so no trees get cut down. I still make my $30.
What easy is that I supply all their varied needs with
the same document--a thirty day, hour by hour, blow by blow report of
the currents that exist in time. Sometimes, I customize them a bit for my
regulars but not more than a few minutes' worth.
The differences between the surgeon and the matchmaker
occur at the site of the degree of the aspect. When I type the master,
degrees are written this way: (Moon semisquare MARS 15* Capricorn affecting 0
mutables). When I customize it for a client, say the matchmaker, I ask the
computer to 'find' the asterisk. Zip, in one second it will. I consult the
client's chart for a second, find what she has in that ballpark, turn back to
the computer and type "and that affects your VENUS in 15* CANCER so your
maternal love nature is in full manifestation. Also, Clients who meet under
this Mars aspect will end up falling into business, not love."
For the artisan, manufacturer or businessman, Mars
touches his midheaven, great for a night out wining, dining clients, discussing
sales.
If an aspect is NOT sitting right on the client's natal
or progressed planets, I tell them that it misses them but will be felt in a
generalized sense through others. The client may run into a person who's
going to be all wound up for a Mars spin in the Capricorn Ambition Derby that
day.
Now, thirty pages of lunar and planetary aspects sounds
hard to research but it's easy because of how I do it. Guess my secret. Instead
of using an ephemeris I use a copy of Dell Horoscope Magazine.
Yes, in the back of this magazine, you will find the SELF
GUIDANCE CHART which has all the lunar and planetary aspects of any given day,
as well as suggested interpretations.
This Self Guidance Chart is a precious resource,
the most totally useful piece of printed material that could ever go through
your hands. I am in awe of it and simply amazed that more astrology buffs don't
realize what they could do with this excellent information. Of course, if some
of you did realize how 'hot' it was, and cogitated on its multiple uses, I'd
probably be out of business and more of you would be making a living with
astrology!
The Guidance Chart makes prediction easy. I simply lay it
out before me on my desk, put my hands to the computer keys and write that
information up in plain English.
At the very top, I list all the DIAMOND DAYS and below
it, the DUD DAYS for the month as a quick reference.
Then, I go through the week. I describe each day in
capitals in a banner LOUSY MORNING, EXCITING DAY, SOCIAL NIGHT: and
below, in my typed text, the details, aspects, the hour of peak effect, their
use, suggest both an agenda and hint at pitfalls, all of it liberally salted
with aphorisms and homey advice. It looks like this:
SUNDAY 1ST-GREAT MENTAL DAY, MIDDAY, EMPTY AFTERNOON,
SLOW NIGHT.
MORNING-MERC in SAGITTARIUS
(4*fire) IS TRINE a LEO MOON now thru Midday. It peaks 2:30+P.M. Whenever THE
PLANET OF MIND IS activated you get STRONG communication or writing DAYS. PEEL
your eye/ear for ideas, communications and teachings, coming from GURU figures,
lectures, seminars, bookstores or over the airwaves, the INTUITIVE ONES as well
as radio or t.v.. Important that you be tuned in. Get au courant. You
and close ties have a subtle discussion with themes like travel, philosophy,
ethics, publishing, legislation. WRITE or CALL YOUR EDITOR/PUBLISHER/literary
agent. YOU TEACH, write, shine if you do. Read the paper carefully. Get on the
computer and write. Work with writers on books. The chapter, ad, speech, flyer
or letter gets written or made --and effectively. People will UNDERSTAND, or
learn if you explain it or write it now. You know what they say about
SAGITTARIUS. Born with a golden foot in their mouth! As this is the sign of the
teacher expect your INNER GURU to be most informative in a meditation at that
peak hour. ASK UNCONSCIOUS to tell you what you NEED TO KNOW and DON'T KNOW you
need to know. That's what can blindside you. You state desire to know clearly
to unconscious in a meditation or the unconscious doesn't know what to give you
from its great grab bag of wisdom. Visit seminars, New Age bookstores, buy/read
books on philosophy, academia, psychology, foreign affairs. Investigate Adult
High School for computer classes, often l5$ a semester per class. HIGHER
SCHOOLING is better than TV on a cold winter night. I had never touched a PC
until I went to Alexander Hamilton Adult High school and learned it all in one
semester for l5$. POSITIVE MERCURY hours enable us to teach, lecture, write or
speak convincingly. Make the effort to do so in this time frame. Sagittarius
influences mean that what you read, study or learn now comes straight from
God." I write something encouraging so that they can utilize this period
for its full powers. I give them ideas. Often I'll suggest books or specific
yoga exercises.
2:30+P.M. when MOON finishes with that aspect, it goes
VOID OF COURSE. This means we go into a two hour super slow period where you
can't initiate. Just finish old cycles. BEFORE YOU GO INTO VOC, look at last
aspect, a super brilliant MERCURY POWER HOUR & take it 'as a question' into
the dead time ahead of you.' Ask about your own brilliance, knowledge,
EDUCATIONAL FUTURE. Answers will come at you during rest of night. You can't
start anything important or go anywhere now. Dig the zip; Hang out in the void.
Go home to the OM. Visit the Grande Existential Nada until a few hours from now
when MOON goes into next zodiacal sign, VIRGO."
And so on, seven pages a week, thirty pages a month. Only
I have carpal mouse bursa in my shoulder from doing years of this so I only do
a week at a time, if that.
Now, if you're sharp of eye, you'll notice that next to
the TIME the aspect hit I put a tiny Plus sign. (2:30+P.M). When I print up a
copy for my east coast clients, I ask the computer to FIND the PLUSES. In a
tenth of a sec, the cursor will jump to the pluses and I add 3 hours to fit
East Coast time. I tell my Parisian clients to add 8 hours, and so on.
Next to the DEGREES that the aspects are in, I put an
asterisk. Let's pretend we're talking about Neptune, (29* CARDINAL, affecting
14 mutables). I ask the computer to 'go to' the asterisks so that I can
customize the piece to client saying 'and that NEPTUNE falls right on your
natal SUN 29 Cancer, ruling your house of MONEY so be especially cautious about
losing cash, being suckered into bad investments, being defrauded or forgetting
to make crucial payments."
In other words, I tailor the basic text to each person
who gets it. This only takes an additional minute but it certainly makes the
document worth the 30$ a month they pay.
I get feedback. Clients tell me that I predicted it would
be a dangerous day and they peeled an eye and narrowly escaped injury. Using it
myself, I actually averted death. One rainy night my aspects were so horrific,
I refused to drive to actress Mariana Hill's party. She insisted and said she'd
pay for a taxi. After the party, one a.m. I’m almost home in the taxi. We were
stopped at a red light. The taxi driver inched forward into the crosswalk,
preparing for a green. Aware of the horrific Mars/Uranus aspect to my chart, I
rubbed the fog off the window and spotted a car in cross traffic going so fast
it would certainly tear through the red light, cross our path and smash into us
if he accelerated. The taxi driver saw his green, started to lurch forward.
'Stop' I screamed. The car whizzed through a red light inches from our hood
ornament. If I hadn't been aware and rubbed the fog off window, the speeding
car would have hit my side of the car at fifty miles an hour. I'd have been
history so astrology literally saved my life.
Once, only emperors and Kings could afford to have their
daily predictions done for their own, personal chart. Now, with your handy Dell
Horoscope, anyone can afford it.
So spread it around. Save the MAP of the MONTH text, add
your own touches, (if you're an astrologer, that is) mail it on to your
friends. Charge them for it, if you want. Or, start to SAVE portions of it to
your ASTROLOGY DIRECTORY. Here's how. See a paragraph on effect of Moon hitting
Mars in Leo? Highlight the MOON TO MARS text. Then call it Marleo.day. Do this
times a thousand. Then, assemble Maps yourself, using a copy of DELL HOROSCOPE
to find the hour of each aspect. Type up your own "Map of the Month"
and give 'em to pals and clients. Email them. Fax them, mail them and soon,
everybody will be moving at the POWER HOURS and you will be on your way to
leaping from hobby astrology to being a highly paid big-city pro.
