Tectogrammeton.
And I don't like fame. I never did like fame, I always thought it was kind of an insanity
and I just avoided it at all costs.
And as soon as I started to get famous, there was a period of a couple of months I was on
the cover of four magazines and it freaked me out, you know, and it's strange.
It's very strange.
It's strange.
It's not natural.
It's very strange. It's strange. It's not natural. It's not natural. Well, what it is, it's old-style thinking, substituting success and connection with an
appearance.
You know, Linda Evans is a very dear friend of mine, and we used to travel a lot together
to do things, and mostly her work, sometimes mine.
And I used to think the way Sans treated her, you know, supposed to be, they just loved
her. You know, I had this terrible vision. It's like, you're going to like lift up your
skirt and see who's there. I mean, the whole thing was insane. And I thought, I don't like
this. I don't know what this is, but I don't like it. And she was so gracious with it.
She never looked down on anybody. She was grateful to everyone.
She was well known in the whole industry
of having no enemies, always kind to everyone.
It's one of the reasons I loved her so much.
Many signs in Scorpio, very Scorpio person.
But she really was a kind and committed to it
even when she didn't feel kind.
She was committed, that was an overriding.
Maybe it was a defense, God knows.
It's an awfully good one because it cultivated goodness.
You started as an academic, didn't you?
Oh, definitely.
And interestingly, I went to Berkeley. I got two degrees in three and a half years.
I got all A's except for two things, one in philosophy, one in psychology.
But when I was at Berkeley, people would say, you know, students, what sign are you?
I thought, what is this, the Middle Ages?
This is when the astrology boom happened in the 60s?
It started.
It was not quite a boom.
It's more a boom now than it was then, but yes.
Wow.
It was.
But the one good thing about the way I think is
I realized I didn't even know about astrology.
But you doubted it to start.
I doubted it and I threw it away.
I just thought, what's wrong with these people?
This is the Middle Ages.
This is not real.
But one of the biggest sillinesses we can do
is decide something can't be and bias our investigation
against it because we've decided it can't be.
That's one of the biggest futilities you can do.
So anyway, I realized that and I thought,
well, there was a course offered, a student course
in the Stalinist United Law. I'll take the course and I thought, well, there was a course offered a student course in installing it.
And I thought, well, I'll take the course and I'll learn how to do it.
Then I can prove to people and I can explain to people how it doesn't work.
And now I don't really know what to do.
So you set out to disprove it.
Yes, I did.
I was sure that that's what was going to happen.
Well, I was only in about three sessions and I think about the second session of the class.
They used my chart as one of the examples.
And it's almost like I had little explosions go on in my brain.
It was almost as though some part of my DNA knew all about this, and I had just blocked
it.
And it was just popping open.
And I ended up doing about 2,000 charts and it's a language and it's
a complex language with much nuance that interweaves like a tapestry to make
new colors to create new energy to show new possibilities and so it's not
simple it's a complex thing you can make it fairly simple and get a lot out of
it but if you really get into into it, it's the universe talking
to us. So that's what got me into astrology. And in trying to prove it wrong, I was astounded
to see, my God, this is real. How could it be? Even though I was using it, I saw it work,
I kept testing it and testing it and testing it, I kept working and working and being more
and more amazing. A part of me kept saying, can't be, how can it be, can't be. And I remember I ran into Carl Sagan very briefly when I was at Berkeley and we just
talked very briefly.
And I wanted to bring up about astrology and I got a total, do not mention it, you will.
Think you're crazy.
Now, he was brilliant mind, did wonderful things, the cosmos was fantastic. And I think he's just corpio too.
But I find out when somebody's a very strong doubter, they really are believers that don't
want to believe it.
They're defending themselves against succumbing.
Because it's too scary.
It's too much.
It's too scary.
It's too much.
Because it's not really understandable.
And it's invalidating too much of your reality. So that's why I'm very gentle with people
all the time. It's my nature anyway. So I got these, these degrees, one in conservation
and natural resources, and the other was in sociology with a psychology major.
And I was doing family counseling at the Berkeley Mental Health Clinic. But right at the end of my going to Berkeley, I opened and...
Explain that.
Yeah, it's a very deep thing. So I started reading people.
One of the things about reading for me, it's so natural I hardly knew I was doing it.
And some of my fellow therapists, counselors, at the clinic would get upset with me because
we used to have these meetings where we bring up cases we had, maybe we had some difficulties.
And I remember this one guy, I wrote up something, and I'm very attuned to sexual abuse, I can
tell one because it happened to me when, not horribly, but enough just to feel the ____ about it
and the inhibiting fear that it was.
So anyway, this thing that I had as an extra sense became extra sensitive too because I
knew what it felt like and where it came from because I analyzed it in myself and my own family.
I would say something. I said to everyone in the Swing fellow,
he had a family and the father and the mother and the kids.
I said, you know, you might check out,
I think the father might be molesting the daughter
and I think there's something going on you should question.
Well it freaked him out.
Everybody thought I was rather weird, you get that.
I didn't really know them.
They didn't actually even say much about them.
I just got this strong feeling and the next time we had a meeting he was so angry with
me.
He said, how do you know that?
I want to know how you know that.
You know, because it turned out to be true,
and it was a big breakthrough for them,
but he didn't like it because it scared him.
How could you know?
And not only the secret, there's a secret thing too.
And even therapists can be very codependent.
Sometimes they're human, everybody's human.
Anyway. That's a key point that everyone's human.
That's right, exactly.
It really is, it's key to the whole thing.
It's not only is everybody human, it's part of the work.
It's part of the job.
You can be the greatest insightful person that ever lived.
You will still have some thread of something you have
to work on, and it will unfold over time as you allow yourself to see more, or people
will come into your life and allow you to see more.
Because really people, and I include myself in this, who are very insightful from the
time of being very, very young, it is so easy for me to cover my tracks
because I could see what everybody was doing.
I could read their minds.
I really did.
When I was two years old,
I remember my mother scolding me about something
and I was listening to her.
And I saw like a cartoon bubble over her head,
how she saw the event.
And I remember thinking-
You could see, like you could see her thoughts basically.
Yeah, I could see her thoughts, yeah.
And I could see it and I thought, well, you know,
she just doesn't see it.
How what?
See it.
And I thought, I think that's something you forget
as you get older.
I was like two.
And I remember thinking, I think you forget this.
I wanna be sure to remember this.
That's why I remember it so vividly.
I really anchored it in my mind because I think when you get older, you forget this.
And it's a very valuable thing that you read my mind and I read your mind.
I didn't exactly call it that, but you hit it right away.
And all my life I've read people's minds and people have read mine.
I'm a very good sender. That's what was the essence of all my workshops I've read people's minds and people have read mine. I'm a very good sender.
That's what was the essence of all my workshops that I did.
I did thousands, you know, in 40 countries over 15 years.
It was a telepathic back and forth.
And I was sending the freedom of not being a dualistic thinker, not being stuck, loving
unconditionally for the joy of it.
There was no reason not to.
And I remember one time Hitler always would come up
whenever I would start talking about loving unconditionally.
And I had so many experiences and I said,
well, imagine, I remember this one,
I was at a talk, big thing in New York,
and round up, so was the speaker. I was a speaker.
And most of the audience, I believe, was probably Jewish.
And I was talking about that if we keep hating, we keep promulgating the problem.
And that forgiveness doesn't mean you agree.
It means you're not stuck being caught in the match. You are bigger than the match.
You're filled with love and compassion, so you become a frequency of undoing the match.
You don't become a co-creator back into fighting and blaming and blah, blah, blah. So anyway,
when I said something about, we even have to forgive Hitler, because this is what always
came up.
And there's two ladies in the front row so close to me like you are, and I could hear
what they were saying.
And this one lady said, I would never, ever forgive Hitler.
And the other lady said, never say never.
She was so sweet.
And I said to the woman who's never forgiven him, I said, well, what if you could imagine
Hitler when he was three months old and he had an alcoholic abusive father, a mentally
ill mother, and what he was going to experience was going to turn him into the person unable
to defend himself for being the crazy person he became. What if
you could send him so much love you'd inoculate him, you'd protect him from that
life because many people have terrible upbringings but somewhere they get love
either from their own soul or for someone else or from God itself. Anyway, and as soon as I said that, I said, would you forgive him? And she said,
yes. So it took 20 seconds almost from never, never, never to yes. And that's the realization
of where we're going. And interestingly, at that same conference, I always gave hugs
afterwards, and I've given so many thousands and thousands
and thousands of hugs.
But this one lady, sweet little white-haired lady,
she came up and she gave me a hug,
and she whispered in my ear, and she said,
"'Thank you, dear, for saying and teaching
"'what you're teaching.'
"'It saved my life,' and she pulled up her sleeve,
"'and she had the numbers tattooed
on her arm. So it just says, this is it. And we all have it. We all can find it. But we
all need to allow the compassion to empathize. Sorry, very hard sometimes to empathize, it's very painful, but it's also
tremendously liberating because it like flushes out the picture. The whole thing explodes to be
a much bigger version because either or in black and white it's simpler the brain and survival
defenses like yes or no, fight, flight or freeze, you know. We got to decide
quick, we're going to have to live. So we have a lot of that programming in our old style thinking,
and it's programmed in at a survival level of trauma and so hard to give up. And we have many
defenses who are extremely clever. In fact, the smarter you are, the better you can really defend yourself from transformation.
Unless you decide it's worth surrendering to heaven, to surrender to the source.
You have to surrender to the higher order, which brings me to religion because religion, dogma, whether it's in academics or medicine or politics
or anything human, that could be good,
if it's dogma and it's old style thinking
it's going to be corrupted, it's gonna cause harm.
Religion is just the same
and all the great religions of the world
come from a true source and they're all true and they're all got something so valuable to teach. But they're
full of dogmatic organization that's full of and doesn't do it. And especially
Christianity, which is one of the highest frequencies because it is all about love.
And that is the one thing, you know, Buddha came first 500 years later.
There was a silk road, went through Jerusalem,
I'm sure young Jesus heard a lot of Buddhist philosophy
as he was growing up,
but his soul was open to everything about it
so he could manifest it in a culture
that was very attached to black and white
because of survival issues and still is.
The fact that very few Christians managed to even think
about what Jesus taught and live it is so shocking to me.
I don't know how they can't hear the hypocrisy.
And it's sort of like America doesn't even,
many people in America don't even know what democracy is.
Oh, that's the word, You know, that's the word.
But they don't know what it means.
It means you get to have your truth, I get to have mine.
And we take it as a conscientious effort to share with each other my concern and your
concern so we can see what we can create.
And that we don't worry about that.
We alert the assimilation that occurs to create a something that will be better than any other kind of fighting and
If it's something not good in that that we create we get the next chance
To look at what was in good and to do it again, and that is organic growth
That is how it happens
So democracy is a sacred thing and it's very important and it's part of the evolutionary leap that I think we're all in the midst of.
Can you walk me through how astrology works?
Could you talk to me about the planets?
You will really understand this because you energetically already, whether you do it through
music and listening to people or you call it your creative receptivity,
you're already tuned to source as a kind of thing to trust.
And not exactly that it's infallible, but in a way it is, that if it's not one thing, it'll be another thing,
and you are open to that.
Well, what I finally decided what astrology was for me,
it was the language of the heavens
through a filter of our metaphorical minds,
our archetypal mind.
So I have a question.
If you have five different skilled astrologers.
Yes.
Who look at the same chart.
Yes.
How much of their readings will be related?
Well, one thing I used to always say, you'll get as good a reading as the astrologer is
conscious because a person can only kind of perceive into the depths of what they already
can do.
So some astrologers definitely are better than other astrologers. There's
a lady named Molly McCord who I love, has a podcast. Great. And there's an English woman,
Pam Gregory. Great. And another fellow, Adam Ellenbos, they all, from my point of view, come from that frequency place.
And they learn their astrology by feeling it through people.
So to answer your question, most astrologers will get pretty good similarities. The only thing is there's the accepted version of say what
Taurus is, what Leo is, Pisces is, or what this house stands for. Those are fairly
consistent and they have evolved into a kind of collective assimilation that
even somebody who's not maybe as enlightened as we might hope,
who has studied it, will come up with pretty much the same things.
But the difference is, one of the things that makes big difference is, when you look at
a chart, it's a map of the heavens.
This one, yeah, is a map of the heavens.
And as you can see, there's lots of parts.
And different people, different things will stand out to them.
Things they're familiar with, things they've seen in other people,
things they have in their own chart.
The thing they know is really important.
Even to this day, there's some things I won't see something
because it's not really in my realm,
but I am so overwhelmed with so much that I do see
that I usually am offering tremendously valuable information
just by what I do see.
But I do know I don't see it all,
and that almost maybe nobody could in a way,
but some people are definitely better than others.
And some people are better than others for you.
Some astrologers-
But if you compared notes with another master astrologer, and you look at the same chart
and have a discussion about it, would you generally agree about a lot of things?
Yes, you would.
You would.
And in fact, there's a podcast called The Podcast, I think, he brings in other astrologers
and they talk about what's going on
and occasionally different people and so on.
And they kind of brainstorm together
and they each bring out different pieces.
They have a sort of presentation of what they think it might be.
They refer to famous astrologers, well,
acknowledged astrologers and things about what's going on.
So it almost is a proof.
The thing that's different about astrology that the linear-minded consciousness doesn't like
is it's metaphorical, it isn't linear, and so it's talking about an archetype. And there may be 10 different ways
that archetype can manifest, one in you, one in somebody else, two in you, that seem even contradictory.
I got a lot of contradictory parts of my chart, but that's what makes me valuable,
is because I see a lot of sides to things, because it's in me already. And one of the things I learned about psychology from astrology, and we should talk about Carl
Jung, who was a very famous astrologer, psychologist.
How did he realize he was an astrologer?
All his work was really based on astrology, personality types.
And my favorite professor, my only really loved professor in psychology at Berkeley.
I used to say at Berkeley they don't believe in love because you can't measure it.
I was like, it killed me on academic psychology.
I just didn't want to have anything to do with it except this one guy, Donald McKinnon.
He founded the OSS during World War II, to do personality assessment of people who would be tolerant
and able and resourceful in being good spies, basically.
And of course, it turned into the CIA, which is very different than what he did.
And this happens a lot in government and in religion, and many human organizations start
out with some great, insightful person or thing.
Awesome. But it soon gets corrupted.
And this comes to a question you've already asked,
that why does this keep happening?
Why do we keep subverting religion and politics and...
Education, everything.
Well, it is. And everything, absolutely.
And I realize what it is.
It's what the universe, we are here
to be the creative energy engines.
That's our job.
So like Buckminster Fuller used to say,
when you're good at solving problems,
God gives you lots of them and gives you big ones
because you're good at it.
That's what we're supposed to be doing.
Instead of thinking, oh my God, listen, I shouldn't have happened and blah blah blah. That's what we're supposed to be doing. Instead of
thinking, oh my God, this and that, shouldn't have happened and blah blah blah, no no no
no. We're built for this. We're built for it. It's our purpose. It's our meaning. It's
the meaning of life because channeling loves is your quick out on anything. That's why
Jesus was so important. Buddha too was compassion, but Jesus hit it
right in the head. Love your enemy, because if you love your enemy, you don't have one
anymore. Somebody you love who doesn't like you, if you keep loving them, they'll either
start liking you or they'll disappear out of your life because they can't stand it.
They can't be around somebody who's loving them, who they want to not love,
because they're talking about themselves
and they're not loving themselves
and you're representing that.
So you can't have one person in a fight or in an argument?
No, that's right, that's right.
And that's the secret of the universe.
I called it, and I think in a way I learned this
from astrology too, I called it matching energy.
Whatever I'm feeling about you, no matter what I say,
I'm sending it and you're getting it.
And if I think you're a jerk inside,
no matter how much I flatter you or whatever I say,
you're going to think, God, she's a bit of a jerk.
You're going to match energy.
If I love you and think you're fantastic,
even if I don't agree with you or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
you're going to love me back because I love you so unconditionally. It's irresistible. And so this is what's good about
a power, a creative out. It's that we all have that we can always use under any circumstances.
I've been in circumstances where there's like war going on, people with guns,
dangerous situations, and I just become a beam of light
and I can walk right through it.
Nothing happens to me.
Nothing happens.
People either will see you and defer
or they won't see you and they'll just go away from you.
And I've had it happen too many times.
You know, I had it happen in Mexico, I had it happen in Spain.
So I've learned there's really nothing to fear.
And if someone's going to kill me, well, then it was time for me to go.
And I say, sure, well, it's okay.

Is the only thing that's looked at in astrology the position of the planets or is there other elements?
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of other elements.
It is the position of the planets, but where they are is the other element.
And if...
So how you categorize where they are,
and where they are in conjunction to each other,
as well as where they are.
Yeah, there's a number of different kinds of aspects they can have,
and each aspect represents a different kind of energy.
Very interestingly, actually, right now, today,
there's been a new moon,
which means the sun and the moon are in the same place.
New moon always means that?
Yes.
Full moon means opposite.
The moon is getting the sunlight shining on it, so you see full moon.
New moon, moon's invisible.
So new moons are new beginnings, sometimes things that are hidden that are starting to
come out.
And we've got the new moon in Scorpio.
Scorpio is the eighth house that is about hidden things,
secrets, Pisces about hidden things,
but divine mystical, heavenly hidden things, and sorrows.
Scorpio is sex, death, money, and power.
And it's all about the hidden stuff about that.
And it's the symbol of transformation,
like a butterfly.
Your guts have to turn to soup.
And you have to rebuild yourself to be the butterfly.
So we're all caterpillars.
We all go through metaphorical stages
of our guts turning to soup,
which is sometimes just unconscious
and sometimes very painful,
and sometimes kind of interesting.
Pins on the person and other aspects.
It's filled with aspects,
each thing representing a different thing.
And the main key thing is,
the first thing is one of my favorite quotes of Albert Einstein,
and I took it out of a book I'm in, because I wanted to say it exactly right.
Einstein said, the most beautiful and profound emotion that we can experience is the sensation
of the mystical.
It is the sower of all true science. He to him this emotion is a stranger
who can no longer wonder and stand wrapped in awe is as good as dead. Remind me of you talking
about the podcast with Jack Cruz where the equilibrium comes, you can have
or something like that, you're dead, you know, it's the same kind of thing.
Anyway, he says, to know that what is impenetrable to us really exists manifesting itself as
the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend,
only in their most primitive forms, this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness.
And religion, the word religion is the Latin word for ligere, which is the link to that
which is greater. Wow.
And so all religions of the world are true. I am the most religious person I know. I believe
in very few dog-wins at all, if any. But I love all religion. All religion, I love all
cathedrals. I love all omens. I love all parts of that intelligence when it is innocently
received as a creative. The creative act is a way of being. When you're being it,
I was so impressed with the style because it said the whole thing. You really did
yourself. Plus you got Sun symbol and the symbol of wholeness on the back.
So anyway, good.
So I love Einstein and I love that.
And also Benjamin Franklin was a very good astrologer.
He supposedly, I haven't been able to find a real documentation on it, but I have heard of it,
that he predicted the time of his death through astrology. And Benjamin Franklin wrote,
Curtis Reader, astrology is one of the most ancient sciences held in high esteem of old
by the wise and the great. Formerly, no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight in a battle, in short
no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer."
This is all for human history, from the Chaldeans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, all
of them.
And I'm going to digress. So just a little bit here, too. I
was in
London
decades ago at the museum, their National Museum, and they have an awful lot of Egyptian
artifacts because they pilfered them. And there was one very large room
that had things inside, in close- case, glass, mommies.
So I walked into this room
and I make these sounds that are healing sounds
and they definitely possess me.
They just come in and they take me.
And I felt this feeling,
which I get in certain churches and certain places
and certain people.
But I felt this feeling, and I thought,
geez, I can't make sounds in the middle of the museum. You know, there's people here.
And I looked around this huge room, there were no people.
Nobody was in the room.
And I saw this coffin with paintings on the inside, and I was compelled to just walk straight
ahead to it, and I did the energy building, and I made the sounds.
And then as I got there, after I made the sounds, I look at the coffin.
The inside of the coffin has all the astrological symbols.
So exactly anybody would know them today.
There's one slight difference with Aquarius.
Something about the way the water was being poured and water is spirit.
And it was being joined back into the earth.
And I thought, that's different.
It's the only difference.
Everything else was just so much like it.
And I looked at the little label about what this is,
and it says,
Mommy of a woman who made sounds.
Wow.
So I've been around.
Or somebody like me who knows what it is.
You know, I don't know.
But I identified, to say the least.
So the thing is that astrology is so ancient, so rich,
and it evolves like everything. If you study ancient astrology, some of it's quite confusing.
It's like if you read ancient Egyptian texts, some of them just catch me and entranced me and I get it.
And the same is true with the each thing.
When I read some things, I always say,
I have to put on my Chinese mind.
Put on my Chinese mind and all of a sudden it makes sense.
But it cannot make sense unless you can do that.
And it's understandable because everything's in a context of its time.
And those cycles repeat over and over and over.
They're never the same.
They are always altered just like democracy alters an outcome of something
or a discussion between two different points of view.
We are creating.
So creativity is the purpose of being human.
Doing it with love is how we do it well. That's all there is. It's that easy.
And no matter how we find ourselves or where we find ourselves, we can do that.
So Benjamin Franklin also said, oh, the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the
smallest things are written there if you had but the skill to read.
And it's true.
And it's endlessly true because it's God speaking.
And how it's God speaking is it's the body of God moving in cycles that our body is
made of cycles, our thinking is made of cycles, our world is made of cycles, everything we do is made in cycles,
and astrology is just a way
to perceive the cycles as a metaphor
that can be used.
And now we get to answer your question
about all the different things about astrology,
why there's a chart. And of course, I'm talking about western astrologers. The Mayans had an
astrology, you know, every culture. You had an astrology. Yeah, ancient, Asian. Everybody had
an astrology. So there's all kinds.
And then very interestingly about Chinese is an awful lot is quite similar. They use
different animals, they use a different symbology. It's like in Chinese, I'm a snake. And a
snake is kind of a combination of Pisces and Leo. And I am a Pisces with a Leo rising.
So it kind of has the psychic thing,
but it also has a kind of creative,
not glitter, glitter's too strong,
but a shimmer or something
charismatic almost,
that's part of the energy.
And Leo's can be like that or they can be a pain in the neck.
They can be immature, and immature leo
wants all the attention all the time, everywhere.
Gets a little bit narcissistic.
But they're always creative, and they're always generous,
even when they're narcissistic, because it's
a very creative sign.
It's ruled by the sun.
How can they not be?
I can actually explain each thing. And it is a, it's in a way very logical.
There's a logical matrix within which this matrix, the reality of what's happening, the
reality of what we know in the past, what each thing symbolizes and where it came from.
And some of these astrologers I listened to on podcasts, I mentioned their names because,
especially Adam Ambas, he teaches ancient astrology, so does the astrological podcasts,
go to the podcasts, you'll find them.
He studies Hellenistic astrology and the ancient meaning of everything.
And I found it just enough to get the matrix, to get the basic energy and then follow my
own experience as I looked at someone and I looked at something and I saw what was happening
or what they did.
Talents that I have is to see what some people see as difficult and see how it's valuable. So one of the things I did learn
from astrology was one of the aspects is called an opposition. And right now as I started to say,
the sun and the moon are in Scorpio, conjunct exactly, that's a new moon. And I saw it last night, I saw Mars is also conjunct, going to be exact tomorrow.
But Mars conjunct a new moon, especially, and those three things are opposed Uranus
and Taurus right now.
I'm having my Uranus return.
People are familiar with Saturn returns pretty much because it's pretty recognizable that
in your 27th year, give or take a year or two, you go through a big change.
You get married, you get divorced, change jobs.
Something happens, you change.
I opened.
And what happened for me was for two and a half years, my whole center return,
I revised my whole vision of reality
because I was having psychic phenomena
happening to me day and night,
20 times a day.
You know, I told you about the woman who made sounds.
Multiply experiences like that
about 10 times a day for two years.
It left me with no doubt what psychic ability was.
I got all the different versions, all the different kinds,
and why there's lots of kinds.
There was a great psychic lady who was part of a,
I did it without a conference,
a big conference at Berkeley on intuition and
psychicness. And they gave tests through the whole thing. This is when I was opening. So I was
right in the middle of it. And I answered each thing. And like when you had to choose between between A, B, C, or D, D would feel sticky. Sometimes something would glow. All different
ways, but I'd get a little on something. And I did everything, and I had to keep almost
dissociating myself. I did dissociate myself from the fact. I was getting them all right.
I couldn't, it was too much for my linear mind.
But if you start thinking about it, it wouldn't.
I didn't recognize it till the end.
If you thought about it,
it probably would have interfered with the process.
It would have interfered and gone away.
Yeah.

And one of the interesting things that happened while I was... One of the tests was they were showing slides
and you were supposed to guess, you know, what the slide would be
and you made a little picture or your words that described it.
And the guy that was doing it would ask first, before he put up the slide,
he said, so what do you see?
What I saw was a mountain and something orange, maybe like a sun,
and three figures on a horse climbing the mountain.
And so he said, how many people saw something entirely different?
I said, oh, I guess I got this one wrong.
And so he puts up the slide and it's
three men and a horse climbing up a mountain
with an orange in the background.
And he says, oh, that's the wrong slide.
That's not the slide that's supposed to come up.
And I remember thinking, thank you, God.
This means I'm not doing telepathy
with this guy. I am actually reading the energy that's coming next, which reminded me of Mitchell,
you know, the astronaut who did all these tests and what they found out, it was all negative
significant. Negative significant is very significant. It was getting more wrong than chance.
is very significant. He was getting more wrong than chance. What he then found out later was he was reading everything before the people on earth had done it. He was getting what they were
giving him to guess before it happened. So what this said to me in two instances
it happened. So what this said to me in two instances is that precognition, and I've had it all my life, so I didn't really need scientific proof because I knew it, precognition is part
of this something more. Part of creativity, part of that source we need to all open up to is why I kept grinning after
I read it real fast the first time.
And I just was smiling and was so happy because you were making, I'm almost dizzy with the joy of making it easy for people, for many cultures, many people,
to accept a primary thing we have missing
that we have to be open to.
And the only people who criticize your book
are people who need to be so linear minded,
they're freaked out.
It's too soft, It's too touchingly real for a space
they cannot acknowledge. And so that's all there is to that and it doesn't matter. So
that's fine. You know, I used to say either you believe in it now or you will later so
it doesn't matter. That's what you say about God. Either you believe in God now or you
don't now and you will later so it doesn't really matter, so we don't need to argue about it.
Because I experience God. I feel God in every second of my being.
God resides in my cells,
and I see him residing in yours,
so it makes it very easy,
not only for me to love you unconditionally,
it's not an effort, it's just a recognition,
you know, it's just there.
And when you find that with people, it just anchors the goodness in the world.
And it's catching, as you said, which is another wonderful thing.
It's contagious.
And not to be, you know, we get afraid of contagious, we think of a disease and that
you lose power and you lose control if you, you know, somebody can influence you. Because one time, I went to the Russian,
and I had a lot of Russians come that I brought
to the United States, whole other thing
that's a whole other story.
But one time, I don't get calls.
And from the time I was a little, I don't get calls.
I radiate heat, I can get warm.
Unless I'm sick or very emotionally upset,
it's the only time I get cold.
So, it was winter when we were in New York
and this Russian guy,
and in Russia, in the middle of winter, snow,
I have a dress like this on.
And I didn't get cold.
And I didn't have gloves on, I didn't have a hat.
And the Russians would stop me in the street and say, this is dangerous.
You can die.
And I'd hold it in my hand.
My hand would be so warm.
And they'd go, how do you do that?
And this guy in Russian, he said, are you a witch?
And this is, I said, of course.
Witch, you know, was a fear button.
I wasn't supposed to push, but it was so silly in a way.
I just had to say yes.
And I said, you know, which is not what you think they are, you know, and we maligned
many people.
And some people who did, you know, they did have what was his name, the guy, the crazy
guy, the monk.
Resputant?
Yes, a resputant.
So you know, he's like a version of a witch and a terrible person, terrible things.
But he had psychic energy.
He had a lot of power and he did hypnotize people.
And he got all confused with sex and power.
So that's what messed him up.
So like we started saying even earlier, everybody has a wonderful talents, unique to themselves
that only they can deliver to the world.
And that's why, again, I kept smiling reading your book, is because you affirm over and
over, everybody has this, everybody has to find their own version of it.
And it may be something strange.
The only sensor I ever say, it should be kind.
You know, I think the truth is very important.
Of course, the truth is so big you can't say it.
I mean, so it's always going to be incomplete by definition because it's too big.
But to have the intent to be truthful is very powerful.
You must add to that to be kind because you cannot tell people very crucial truths if you're not
Framing the whole energy and kindness
Because if you tell the truth without kindness, it'll be a fault if you give kindness without truth
It's me. You know, it's make nice mush to get the full thing
It's the left and the right brain.
It's the linear and the intuitive.
And somewhere along the way, I want to bring up my favorite peeve, I guess you would call
it a little bit.
Silicon Valley has instigated, and I think it's them, the idea of counterintuitive. The whole thing, the word bugs me, no end, because
they say counterintuitive when they mean to say illogical. But illogical has such a charge
in it in our culture. You can't say, you know, you were illogical there. You say, oh, what
you were doing was counterintuitive. Well, intuitive is a truth that comes from non-logic.
That comes from-
It's truer than logic.
It's truer than logic.
Truth is bigger than logic can hold.
Reality is bigger than logic can hold.
It's bigger.
And so intuition needs to have more reverence and understanding of what it is.
And to make counterintuitive a common word for illogical is a disservice to the process
of really understanding intuition.
And it's one of my favorite things.
It's one of the things I feel like I'm a walking matrix of permission for intuition because it's the right brain
activated.
It what heals women from being judgmental.
It's what inspires men to creative action beyond their dreams.
Bigger than their dreams.
Your dreams aren't good enough.
Your dreams are great to open the
door, but you got to walk through the door and that's letting, letting, letting, letting,
letting heaven possess you. Letting inspiration, which is intuition, take hold. That's to take
hold. This is the evolutionary leap. This is why there is an undoing of the old style thinking by an alchemical
interaction of love over hate, of intuition over too linear logic. Logic is crime, it's
great, it's a tool, it's a tool for discerning reality, it's not equivalent to reality, it's a tool.
Intuition is the means to touch the source.
It's why astrology works.
It's the intuition of the archetypes, of the movements of the cycles, and it allows the
intuitive complexity.
And that's why the ancient Egyptians were the most intuitive people, I think, that ever
lived on this planet for a couple thousand years, until the Romans got it out of them.
But they joined the intuition and the logical. And that's why even their gods were amalgams of different animals with animal bodies, because
the symbolism, the energy of the animal taken to a human power was a god-like thing.
And that's why they understood astrology and they were part of the creators of it. Describe for a minute what goes on in you.
How do you recognize intuition in your body?
Is it in your body?
Is it in your mind?
Describe your...
All of the above.
All of the above.
All...
I am one of those...
You know, some people, you know, by sound, by vision, by smell, I were a very distinctive
perfume, but somebody gave me,
they actually gave it to my mother and she didn't like it.
And when I was in Mexico and I was like 14, 13, 14,
and I have used the same perfume since that age.
And this perfume is called Gerovian,
which you'll remember me.
And it's made by worth.
And people sometimes would smell my perfume
before I came into the room.
But to finish that story,
because it was kind of interesting,
I went with a friend to Paris,
and then to the Loire Valley,
to stay with a friend of hers, a beautiful chateau.
And her husband was part of the noble family, the castle was his family.
And actually their house was what the monks lived in.
It was a big long stone thing.
And when I walked in the door, and she gave me a hug and welcomed me, she says, oh, I
see you as Jeu Roveum.
And I said, yes.
And she said, I can tell you something about that you might
like.
And I said, what's that?
Well, my father adored my mother, loved her just so much.
He wanted to make the perfect perfume for her.
And he made Jeu R perfect perfume for her, and he made sure of him for her.
And I sometimes think,
what a thread of energy this is.
You know, a lot of this stuff,
you have to take much more personal than we do.
And in other ways, you have to constantly,
it's not personal at all.
It's the most incredible just connection
of everything to everything.
That's wonderfully good.
It's wonderfully good.
So it's an interesting thing, just one of those things.
Anyway, so I feel intuition like I told you when I took that test that was all whole seminar,
a long day long thing.
And only at the end did I realize I'd gotten everything right.
Even the one I got wrong, I got right.
It was just, the timing was right
because I was having so many psychic experiences
that no matter what I wanted to doubt,
nothing came the same way each time.
So I was just getting things one way and another way.
An awful lot is in my body because my body
is my connection to your body.
It is my connection to every, not every human body,
but to animals, to trees.
My body is my piece of the planet I'm sitting in.
And so that's why I say anything,
everything you have to go through,
anything you project on it, go through, anything you project
on in anybody else, if you're thinking it, you're feeling it's yours because there's
nobody in there but you, and peace of the planet experiencing itself.
So I'm just open to however way it may be.
Sometimes I do hear things, I hear a very clear, almost like somebody just said it. And then other times, I see a vision,
like when my mother, I saw how she saw it.
And when I learned from all that picture,
pictures are very powerful.
That's like ideographs, you know.
Ideographic languages are very powerful
because they're capturing many things in one thing,
which is what astrology does, it captures many things
in one thing. And that's why does. Many things in one thing.
And that's why it's hard and why it's hard to understand.
It takes time.
It took me time.
I learned to speak Spanish in three months.
Six months totally fluent, but astrology took me about two years.
Really.
And I'm still learning it.
It'll never end.
It's a lifelong. Yes, lifelong. Never end. I'm still learning it. It'll never end. It's a lifelong.
Yes, lifelong. Never end. I'm always surprised.
Always delighted. It's always got some of the, oh, how wonderful that is.
It's interesting.

So intuition is something definitely that I teach, is sort of a hallmark of my philosophy,
is that intuition is what is being born in human
being. We have it. We have a whole hemisphere dedicated to it. We use it all, every human
uses it, whether they know it or not. I think even if you have it, that hemisphere removed,
I think your cells will still tell you intuitive things. So you don't get away from it,
intuitive things. So you don't get away from it, but we have it blocked
because of fear and it's why we burn people at the stake.
One of my psychic experiences opening, I didn't think I was gonna tell you this one,
it still makes me gonna cry a little bit. When I, I
think I had a dream, I can't remember what instigated it. And I woke up and I just had this experience
where I was chained to a stake.
And I could feel people kind of maniacally running around.
And I felt the flames.
And I felt my body catch fire and I actually felt myself die in the flames.
And as I was dying, I was saying, why? Why? I didn't hurt anyone. why? And I realized from that experience, being on the other end of it, you know, most of
us know when we persecute other people because they're different or because they scare us,
you know, any kind of bullying energy.
And it's an interesting thing.
I was thinking about that about bullies.
I never was bullied as a child and I was odd
I mean I was pretty and I was blonde
And I was serious. I had a self-containment about me
But with kids at school anybody
People would do any energy like that. I'd
Just look at them and they would just stop. I remember this one girl,
she had polio and you know her whole body was crippled and she would sometimes be wet
and when she got her period she'd get blood in her and there were some boys like making
fun of her. I mean why she was forced to go through all this I never know. But when I
just stepped up to them and I looked at them,
and I was saying in my mind, you don't wanna do this.
You don't wanna do this.
I don't think I said anything to them.
I just kept saying in my mind, you don't wanna do this.
You don't wanna do this.
And they kind of went like this
and they turned around and walked away.
So I've always had that ability.
So in a way it made me not afraid of a lot of things people
are afraid of. I never needed to join in. I was born with what I know. I came in with it day one.
I absolutely know it. So I didn't expect to be helped. I expected to be alone. One of my premonitions, this was my first memory, was my parents were young,
my mother was 18, my father was 19,
and my mother was not really too interested in me, she was only interested in my father.
And the nurses had told him to go away, that it was going to be a long time,
but actually I was born rather quick and I was 10 pounds and I was born quickly, which
nobody expected, and they had told him to go home.
And she was mad because, and I had this vision, like I've had out-of-body experiences with
accidents and things.
I pop up, look down, see how everything's happening.
I had this experience of when I was born, my mother's got her arms folded and she's pissed off because
my father's not there. And I'm looking down and I'm saying, oh dear, nobody's going to
take care of me. I have to take care of myself. Nobody's going to take care of me. I have
to take care of myself. And that was my life. And I traveled throughout the world by myself.
I did everything by myself. And one of the things I think is happening, what's happening
astrologically right this minute and you're asking me to come on this day, this is a difficult
day. Not difficult at all, is it?
Not at all.
No, it's not difficult at all.
Not at all.
Astrologically, people would say, ooh, don't be ready, could be difficult,
people might get angry, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, I don't run into that, so I don't get that.
You don't either, so you don't get it.
So this is how astrology is different.
But what's not different is the planets have an energy,
they have a meaning.
Mars is assertion, aggression, and creativity
of a certain dynamic sort.
The moon is the unconscious,
and the collective sort of.
The sun is the radiant self.
The sun and the moon and the new moon connected as one thing.
Mars conjuncted, some energy popping in there.
Oppose in opposition to Uranus is sudden inexplicable change
ahead of its time's thought.
A lot of uncomfortable changes, can't predict it,
won't know what it is.
Sometimes people have accidents, especially Mars, Uranus.
If you've got anything unconscious running, you might watch out what you're doing.
And astrologers will tell you that, and usually there's enough case history on all that to
say, yeah, do that.
But I'm having my Uranus return, which only happens supposedly every 84 years.
What happens with planets is they go direct, they move over a point in the chart that represents
something, and as they move, they activate that point, and then they move away.
And then if they do a retrograde, they come back and they go over that point again, and
it gets activated again.
But this time it's not such a surprise because you kind of know what you did.
The first time, maybe just without knowing it, you did it, and it goes back again.
Then it comes back again.
So the third time it goes over an important point.
It's like a Saturn return.
It makes a big imprint on people because everything in their life changes.
Something in their life, at least, definitely changes.
Usually about how you judge reality because it's Saturn and authority.
So my whole authority structure completely changed.
I gave up. I didn't give up science. I love science.
But to me, it's a very minor tool and very poorly done for the most part
right now, not very scientific.
It's a lesser tool.
Yeah, and it's not done very well.
It's turned into a dogma like religion's not done very well.
Science has become too much of a click.
I loved your podcast with Andrew Huberman.
Oh, I just couldn't stop listening to it.
I stayed up all night.
I didn't sleep.
It's so good, so good, so good.
Everybody should listen to it.
They will.
Anyway, a few months ago, they found some breast cancer in me.
I've had it like three or four years.
I pretty much ignored it.
I didn't believe that cancer can exist in my body unless I let it.
And what I was letting happen, especially for women,
is when you don't nurture yourself enough.
And I haven't been nurturing myself enough.
And that was why it happened.
And I knew that.
Of course, doctor doesn't believe that at all.
They're all freaked out.
And so they put me on some estrogen blocker,
and it started to shrink.
And in less than a year, it practically disappeared. So they put me on some estrogen blocker and it started to shrink.
In less than a year, it practically disappeared.
But there was a little piece left and it wasn't disappearing.
And it was in a very easy to get spot right here.
And so I said to the doctor a few months before this, I said, I've decided, because she wanted
to take it out to the search one, take it out, take it out, can come back, they do all
this fear-mongering on you and they don't know what they're talking about.
So I said, well, you know, if I just had even a mole I didn't like or something, I'd take
it off.
I don't care.
It's not that big a deal.
And I said, okay, I've decided to let you take it out.
It's near the surface, not that big a deal.
The only thing is I can't have any general anesthesia.
I don't want any anesthesia.
I've never been an appetite. I don't want to be. And she goes, I can't do that.
And I said, well, I said that I won't do it because I know it's not a problem. And it's local. God,
it's not that hard a thing. And so she thought about it. And the next time I saw her, she said,
I've decided to do that. So they did it. And the date she picked for surgery was the exact day of my Uranus return.
So I knew something, you know, maybe I was going to die, you know.
Something's going to happen.
Something is going to happen.
So I have a well-being meditation tape, which I recommend to everyone.
And I did it some 40 years ago because it's just with healing to me, and I thought I'd
share it with other people.
But I give it to anesthesiologists a lot to use because they get a lot of feedback from
them and their patients that they need less anesthesia when they use this meditation.
So I told her about this and I said,
I'd like to play it for myself and for everybody actually.
It didn't necessarily, I thought it was only going to go to me,
but as it turned out, it only worked through her phone
and so everybody in the room heard it.
And people were grinning through the surgery.
It went so easy.
It was nothing for me.
All I had to do was be filled with light and love.
I was smiling like with your book.
I was just smiling.
This is going to be quite an impressive thing to this doctor and all
her helpers who think this is so serious and so hard and they have to knock people out
and don't have to do it.
So that was what happened and it was great.
And of course, I had no recovery time really to speak of.
I wasn't there knocked out.
That's what really, I remember my father telling me, cause he had like 168 IQ and so did I.
We had very high IQs and we got along.
We could, he could, he taught a lot about the world,
but he, I remember him telling me,
anesthesia is near death.
You don't want to ever be, then you're not going to sleep.
They're putting you near death.
Don't do it if you don't have to.
So I never have.
Anyway, doctors don't always understand that.
So that was my first.
Then the second one is just a few days ago, but more importantly, this eclipse, this new
moon eclipse with Mars, which implies difficulty, is opposed by Uranus, which is one degree off my actual thing, which is a
close conjunction.
So that's what we're doing right now.
What I'm doing is I'm talking about things I wouldn't normally talk about.
I'm talking about astrology.
I'm going to explain how it works as you've asked me.
And I'm talking about personal things.
Well, you know, like I had the partial mastectomy. And they call it partial mastectomy. She did a little bit of a sloppy job because
she had to go in the muscle, but mostly it's just nothing. It's nothing. There's so much
fear mongering and it's part of old-style thinking. And sadly, it's part of control.
Because doctors are very insecure. They know they don't know what they're doing.
And they know that more and more every day. so it's unsettling and the more wise of them will admit that and listen to their
patients and keep looking for YouTube's and things that tell them other things like Andrew.
But even Andrew, Jack was really kind of hard on him. The one thing you have is this beautiful mind.
He does. He has a beautiful mind. He does. His beautiful mind has a wonderful
way of explaining things. Why I've always loved his podcast. I get to tell people all over the
place in my family, listen to this, get educated about how things work in your body. It's good to
know that part. But I also say, after you know how it works, heal it yourself because you can,
which people don't like to hear. Anyway, so the thing about astrology
when I first got into it was I did it by resisting.
I did it by conceding, oh my God, when they did my chart.
Cause they knew a thing about my being psychic
when I was a child and think that,
mm, that really I didn't talk to anybody about it.
And so I thought, well, if they can do that,
I'm gonna study this, and I did, and I got good at it.
You know, there is no best I don't think
because there's different strokes for different folks.
So different astrologers suit different people,
and I always recommend you go to more than one.
Get at least two readings.
So you will see the parts that are completely the same
and then you will see what that person sees.
And I see the things that I resonate with
and another person will see the things
that they resonate with.
Sometimes they're the same thing, but sometimes they're not.
And all of it is good.
I don't think, you know.
And the only time is if you really disagree with something, it's probably wrong.
And by wrong, I mean the person is interpreting it too narrowly or too harshly, because these
are archetypes.
These are metaphors. And a metaphor where something drowns
isn't necessarily you're supposed to drown.
It's a metaphor for something else.

Tetragramatin.com. Okay, so the logical part and the nice logical part of astrology is it's got a logical order,
it has a structure, it has meanings that are assigned to planets, to houses which cover
different areas of the person's personality, then there are aspects from one planet to another,
one point to another.
Some aspects make ease, shrines, some aspects make growth, good but growth, different little
alien but growth, that's a sex style.
And some things are like squares which are difficult, they're
really different, different reality almost.
And so some person can take a lot of their life always running into the difficulties
of these two parts of themselves just in conflict or with another person, they may have a conflict
with that person, they don't know why, because they've got some squares that will make it difficult.
But the advantage I learned since I have about five squares is everything I know of
unique knowledge came from my squares.
Some things took me 20 years pondering it in myself, why is this like this? Is like this? Is like this?
Until I realized they were just two different styles of reality that didn't mix well,
and that if you just let them not mix well and see the two things,
usually you will get some super information. And the other thing that I learned from astrology that I used psychologically and I'm Carl Jung again as we briefly said, he did the charts of all his clients. And
there's a great Carl Jung, so he had a beautiful home.
And on the porch, he was talking to the woman who had come to see him.
He said, what's the problem?
You know, what do you think?
She said, well, birds persecute me.
And he was just about to say, what makes you think that if this bird swooped down and hit
her in the head?
Hitter in the head.
And he said, I was going to ask why you think that?
But there's something else here.
So the universe tries to get you to attend.
I talk to birds all the time.
They come.
Animals aren't afraid of me.
Ever since I was one of my best things as a kid, I used to be in the woods.
Wild animals come to me.
I love it.
It was my only happiness actually as a child was the woods and animals.
Because people were not so nice.
People were confused.
People were so confused when I was in grammar school.
I remember vividly this man who was the principal.
I can see him so clearly.
He was body type.
His face, he was probably only about 38.
He looked older.
He was overweight.
Very manicured, with steel rim glasses.
Very sad.
He looked so sad.
I later found out he hung himself
in the kid's coat closet.
Wow.
So I was just reading his grief all the time,
but it was one of my early experiences,
and I had a number of them,
where why people do
really bizarre things from their grief, and why it was so important to me always to alleviate
grief.
Not to eradicate grief, grief has a value, but to use it as a transformative thing to
see more, to be more compassionate, to have a broader view.
So I'm back again to the aspect that I learned
psychologically from astrology, which is an opposition.
An opposition is in a chart, which is a circle.
It has a rising sign, and that's called a rising
because that's called a rising because
that's what the Ascendant of the Sun is, rising.
All these, this is on the other side of the earth, these are the planets above us.
So rising is where the Sun is when you're born?
Yeah.
Well, where the Sun rise is.
The Sun could be anywhere, but where the Sun was rising, that day. That's your ascendant.
Yeah, that's why you need the time, the exact time.
And that sets the houses, it sets the houses.
So the rising sign, I sort of devise this thing.
Your rising sign represents energetically,
if you think of an analogy like a photograph,
a camera, film, and the light shining on the
real Leo.
So the rising sign is what fixates on the film.
So I have a Leo rising.
So I look a lot like a Leo that I'm not really that much of a Leo.
I have a lot of Leo, but I'm not really that much of a Leo. I have a lot of Leo, but I'm not really.
I'm a Pisces.
So what do you say, it's like a surface?
It's like a surface.
And because it's not just surface,
because this is real and it is substantive
and it does influence your knowledge
and your ability and your nature and your personality.
In fact, it's very much your personality.
It's your appearance.
When I was going to Berkeley,
people who were interested in astrology, they guessed, they they guessed this oh you're a Leo. I said no
How could I get that so wrong? I said I'll be arising because
It looks like and it's a real thing and it affects the world and so that's why I made it the photograph
It's the photograph you get
but the light
Well, the moon is the unconscious, it's the lens. So
the light of the real person shines through the lens and the lens is like the unconscious.
You know how a lens distorts the reality? That's the filter that goes through and then
it fixates on the film. The light shining on the actual person is the sun.
So the sun is very important.
So the sun is your sun sign.
It's your sun sign.
That's why people talk about sun sign and it's a fairly decent shorthand because it
does capture an awful lot of what somebody is and what they're about.
More than they're rising?
Yeah, oh much more, in depth.
Not necessarily how they appear.
Yes.
That's why they can appear a little confusing.
But if you want to know who they are.
The sun sign.
The sun sign, yeah.
And who they are is their moon sign also.
You are all these things,
but you have to consider these things.
I used to say, astrology is like,
you know, you can have the plans
for the Taj Mahal, magnificent plans chart, but you can make it out of paper mache.
It'll look like maybe the Taj Mahal, but it won't really be the Taj Mahal.
Same is true with astrology.
You can have two people with very similar charts. And they'll be different people because one, the soul inside is different, what they're
going to do with the energetics.
They chose for themselves, I believe we choose our chart, we choose our matrix of energy that
we come in with.
And I say, if I were, we choose our parents and everybody would moan. I said, no, no, we did. We choose our parents because for good and ill,
they set us up for the challenges we have decided as a soul
to take care of that we're going to handle.
We're going to look at.
And you need to get programmed to have something to handle.
So anyway, the opposition is important because it's an overview,
is what I realized.
When you have an opposition between, as we do, Scorpio and Taurus, Taurus is fixed earth, it's
ruled by Venus, very physical, likes good food. I think a puppy dog sometimes, it can be, you know, fur down the bull when it gets mad, you know,
it can be pretty imposing.
But it's an earthy physical sign ruled by Venus.
Scorpio is a water sign, it's a deep emotion,
ruled by Mars or Pluto, old,
before they knew about Pluto, it was Mars.
So you get that comfortableness with the Mars conjunct in Scorpio, this conjunction of the
Sun and the Moon.
So this has got a lot of powerful, deep, emotional shadow stuff, sex, death, money, and power,
a place where there's a lot of shadow. And the main fault that Scorpio's sort of having,
I hate to ever use that term,
is that they have so much ability
and they keep looking for everything in the wrong place
because they get conditioned in this world
and they can be the most powerful healers, very wise,
but they're still trying to get power.
And they're still trying to do something with sex
and trying to make money and they're afraid of death.
So, it doesn't mess them up.
It is their grist for the mill.
It's the thing that they get to.
They're rooted in the material world.
Oh, yeah, very much so. Emotionally, they feel it. They're rooted in the material world. Oh yeah, very much so.
Emotionally, they feel it.
They sense it everywhere.
They're living in this dimension.
So they're gonna get it.
They have these resources, but they get carried away.
And that's why they can be sometimes not so nice
and also incredibly beautiful and loyal as well.
So anyway, so the opposition I realized psychologically is that if you go up high enough, this thing
that looks like two polar opposites, never the twain shall meet kind of thing, they are
a continuum. They are connected. They are two parts of one
thing and the continuum is the insight that holds them together. And you get
that information when you go up high enough, when you look from above. So
you're not looking at a polarized disagreement. you're saying, oh, we're polarized. Oh, good. What?
You know, right away it's a benefit.
So, so that's something I do.
They balance each other.
Or is that not the right way to look at it?
They sometimes do.
They're handling different parts of the puzzle.
All parts of the puzzle don't necessarily balance.
But because they're
contendent, it looks like a barbell, the symbol too. Two circles with a line, that's
an opposition symbol. I'm trying to cultivate they are connected and to
enjoy the connection. And this is why this is not a hard day for us. This is a
breakthrough day because we're embracing Uranus and Taurus.
And I have a natal Uranus and Taurus in my 10th house, which is my career.
So what I teach the world is how to be comfortable in a physical way with futures, the ideas
ahead of its time thought and strange phenomena.
This is natural to me. And it's also trying Neptune and Virgo, which is
Neptune rules Pisces and Virgo is the opposite sign, another opposition, where I see, I analyze,
like Virgo does, psychic things. So it's all one to me.'s melding two concepts that seem contrary to the ongoing benefit of both.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
So, that's it.
And right now, as we speak, we have this conjunction with the sun and the moon and Mars in Scorpio.
Exactly opposite. my Uranus, and the world's Uranus right now in Taurus.
So we're trying to make normal head of its time thought, so we have a comfortable physical
way to be in it.
And so it's not too strange.
It's just more pioneering of wonderful stuff we get to do with the body.
And it's great for sex and for being good friends and for being good parents and being
good with other people because it's a tolerance that isn't tolerant.
It's just, it's excitingly interesting.
It's not an effort to be tolerant. It's wonderful. It feels so good. It's excitingly interesting. It's not an effort to be tolerant.
It's wonderful.
It feels so good.
It's the gateway.
It's the portal to the something more.
And there's a phrase I'm very fond of now, the something more.
In everything there is the something more.
There's nothing you can't look at.
Nothing we can't deal with. There is something more. There's nothing you can't look at, nothing we can't deal with. There is something more.
Look for the something more. Whenever you get stuck, whenever you get polarized,
whenever you get mad at somebody, whenever you fall in love with somebody, also be willing to see
the something more. It can take it to deeper levels you never imagined possible. So it's all good, there's something more,
and it's the evolutionary leap from my point of view.
The philosophy, my basic philosophy is this consciousness beyond duality,
unifying two hemispheres, being able to think of them simultaneously,
comfortable, and I use astrology a lot,
not only for realizing how that was true when I
was learning it, but also it's very true for why it can be kind of magical almost, it seems
to people, and understanding solutions that didn't seem possible.
And a lot of times people are so funny, they'll say, you know, when you say it, I knew that,
but I didn't know it. And that's completely true. You do know. You know, when you say it, it's, I knew that, but I didn't know it. And that's completely true.
You do know, you know everything, except you don't,
until it reaches that point.
It's almost like you're reminding them.
Yes, yes.
Because that we're all here at this point means we all know.
There's nobody alive in a body right now
that doesn't know what we're talking about. One of the interesting things traveling alone, you know, I get cab
drivers of all nationalities, I get to talk to people on planes and stuff, different
countries, everything. They all think I'm them. They all think I come from wherever
they come from, no matter what I look like. Even Japanese people say, only our old people know this, how do you know this?
Because it's all the same.
We are here and we have a thread of connection.
And because I know it and feel it and have observed it
and lived it, I'm a good sender
because the pathway is already there for me.
It happens automatically.
So I look at somebody and I
see them and I love them and I see, oh my God, you're so good, you're doing this, you're
doing that. And that's what you do with people too. You give them that affirmation to look
at themselves without that criticalness and to have the space to see where it will go.
And this is the growing edge.
That's another term I use all the time.
We're living on the growing edge and it's constantly moving.
The growing edge is just constantly growing.
We are all constantly expanding.
The whole planet is getting it.
That's why not only should we not be afraid of the future
and what we will do to this planet,
but we do have to pay attention
to the ridiculous harm we are creating
and call it all as it is,
because each of that is a little growing edge
about understanding more about the nature of reality.
Let's do the rest of the planets.
Okay, so one of the easiest ways to do this is I started to show you the chart.
It's a circle.
And there's the middle line, and this is the ascendant, the rising, and this is the descendant.
So when the sun sets, this is where the degree it'll set at, and when it rose on the day
and the moment you were born, this is where it was.
Is the descent also a calculation that you look at or know?
Oh yes, definitely.
The descending is the cusp of the seventh house, which is relationships and what you
do in relationship with other people in the world.
And one of the interesting things about me is I have Venus and the moon in Aquarius. In Aquarius is considered kind of a cool size,
the ruler of Uranus, or Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius.
And I have a very far out analytical way that I love.
It comes in a kind of pure good for humanity criteria.
You know, it's not just falling in love with somebody, good for humanity criteria.
You know, it's not just falling in love with somebody or it's not just erotic necessarily,
though that's nice when that comes too.
But and I realized I also can use that as a defense.
When I meet someone who I like care for very much, and I see the possibility,
part of me longs for so much
that I will create defenses. I'll be maybe more glib than I would be, truly, not myself.
So in Tarot, that's the tower card
where your defenses get struck by lightning because your defense,
the tower, is silly. Isn't that what you want? And you need to see that. When you see that,
it's a relief, and it's a release, and it's a good thing.
So the seventh house is what this cuts on. The first house goes, it goes down and around
this way. So the horizon signs a straight line cut through the circle like a horizon.
And then you move down.
This is the first house, and that's the first sign.
And the sign at the horizon is the degree that the sign is.
So the sending goes down?
You do it counterclockwise.
The zodiac symbols are always in the same order.
They're always in the same order, but they move around.
Yes, that's right.
So depending on where the clock is, tells you which house each of these...
The clock is set by your birth time.
That's why it's so important to have the birth time.
I understand.
Because that sets where everything else falls, and I use the placenta system.
I don't use Equal Houses.
They don't make a distinction too much
between the different houses having different degrees.
I do, it tells you what planets are in what house
and how that's going to affect your personality.
And so I have Sun and Venus in the seventh house and Mercury.
So the way I think, my basic self and the way I love,
is very concerned about relationships.
I love relationships to work.
It just is so wonderful to me to see people get along.
I know you can't fix anything. It's so wonderful to me to see people get along.
I know you can't fix anything.
You cannot, you know, as a therapist, I had to learn, you know, when a couple comes to
me, I'm not here to make your relationship work.
I'm here to help you have the relationship you want by being authentic to yourself.
And I used to say the real reason for breaking up with somebody is you let the actual energy
of the interaction, the weight of it, the relationship rises or falls of its own weight.
So if the person is going to undermine you constantly or criticize you, you cannot be with that person.
You may love them to pieces on a lot of things, but that's not acceptable. That will not work.
You can go through a process sometimes where people learn how to not do that, and then it's very deeply learning for both people.
But it's a little bit rare. It's a lot of pain.
Anyway, that's a little bit rare. It's a lot of pain. Anyway, that's a whole other story. So this
is the rising sign is set by the time you were born. It also sets the descendant and
the mid-heaven, which is your career, and the IC, which is your childhood. So my mid-heaven
has Uranus in the 10th house and exactly on the mid-heaven I have Jupiter
and Saturn conjunct.
And that's kind of interesting and in Taurus.
So I make practical duality on the physical plane.
I teach it, but it's a new consciousness.
It's a different thing when they're together.
And so I have them exactly conjunct and exactly in the mid-heaven.
Explain what each one of them represents.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Jupiter is expansion.
It's Zeus, basically the king of the gods.
It rules Sagittarius, which is very exuberant sign, very sweet sign really. Jupiter tends to make bigger
whatever it is, so could exaggerate it to some detriment. But mostly gives
enthusiasm and is a really joyful kind of sign and they sometimes blurt stuff out.
You know, I think one of the phrases I remember reading, the person at the party with their foot in the mouth
is the sage because they'll say, oh, you did the right thing.
They say it out loud what they're thinking.
They don't all do that, but it's the exuberant spontaneity of it
that's lovely.
And that's Jupiter.
And so, sage is ruled by Jupiter.
And Saturn is completely the different.
Rules Capricorn, Sirius, its rules, its order, its consequence, creating things to happen
as they should. I used to say about Saturn, it's the concrete in the steps that lets you ascend.
We do need the Capricorn energy.
It's one of my favorite signs, actually.
I'm Mars in Capricorn.
And I like Capricorns because they're very earnest people.
Probably if there's one quality I admire more than anything is earnestness.
I have unforgiving love to anybody who's earnest because it's pure, it's good, and it puts
you in alignment with the process accurately. And it makes me love them. It's very respectful,
respectfully. So Saturn is, I hate to say opposite, they
are opposites, they're called opposites all the time, expansion and contraction. But for
me they're one thing. I see them as one, I feel them as one, my brain uses them as one,
it's what I teach in the world, it's exactly in the mid-heaven, which is what you do in
the world and what you teach in the world. So I totally fit my chart. So the sun is the
basic self, the moon is the unconscious, the mother often. When you see it in a chart,
sometimes it represents the public. I have my moon in Aquarius, as I said, and Venus
in Aquarius, which is humanitarian, uranium orientation. I love humanity. One of the things they say about Aquarius is
they love humanity. It's people they don't like very much, which is a very shared
statement because people can be very difficult. But humanity in the aggregate
is a wonderful thing. Okay, so going back a little bit more, or sun, moon,
Mercury is communication, your nervous system to a degree,
the electricity of your nervous system.
That's why I love your podcast, Electricity in Nerves.
Oh, this is so true.
And I'm a little bit deaf. I had some experiences that sort of
and I'm so looking forward to them finding out how to activate it so I can hear again because
hearing is extremely important to me because I read people's voices. I can, it's just a terrible
loss. So I'm looking forward to getting that back. But anyway, Mercury is the messenger of the gods, sometimes mischievous, but quick.
That's why Gemini is ruled by Mercury rules, Gemini.
Gemini can be very glib.
So many funny stories for Gemini.
To just give you a very quick snapshot of complete different people, for Gemini's. To just give you very quick snapshot
of complete different people, both Gemini's.
Trump is a Gemini, the Leo rising I believe.
And John F. Kennedy was a Gemini with a Libra rising.
So John F. Kennedy was eloquent with words,
lovely, Libra rising,, fixated on, came through, was just beautiful.
And he was educated.
Poor Trump is wounded, damaged by a cruel and harsh father, so he is very quick with
words, not real deep in a certain way.
I think it's a Cancer Moon.
So he does tune into the emotional fears of people, emotional needs.
So he's got that Gemini quick words, glib, ridiculously glib, contradictory.
Gemini is often contradictory.
Yeah, you say it's black and you say, oh, no, it's white. You say, oh yeah, it's white. Oh, you say it's black and you say, oh, oh, no, it's white.
You say, oh, yeah, it's white.
Oh, no, it's black.
They just can't help themselves.
It's going to always try to do this duality thing.
And that's why it's considered sometimes an immature sign, young anyway, because it does
everything so, it's hard for it to be deep.
And unless it has other aspects that make it deep, it will kind of appear that way.
The last boyfriend I had many decades ago was a Gemini and Moon in Pisces.
So we were completely telepathic and got along.
We never had an argument.
He used to travel so easy.
He did the guy things I'd took us magically through places.
It just was wonderful.
But he used to tell stories.
He couldn't say, you know,
I had a big believer in telling the truth.
It was incredibly important to be truthful all the time.
And he'd make stuff up that happened, it didn't happen.
And that's what Trump does.
Gemini's tend to do that.
And I said to him, you know, it really
upsets me that you do that.
And he said, well, it's a better story that way.
And to him, that was perfectly reasonable.
And I could feel like looking at my mother's picture,
I could see how that was perfectly reasonable to him. It's a talent, actually.
It's part of what they do. So I had to give up being about truthfulness, although I know
attempting to be truthful, caring about it, is a power that's immense. And you don't want to lose it.
power, that's immense, and you don't want to lose it. It will guide you through many things, so it's a valuable thing.
Okay, so we're doing the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus. Venus is an interesting thing because,
you know, obviously the goddess Venus, the Raffer Dade, it is the goddess of the arts, music, beauty, eros in the
feminine erotic sense as eras can be in the masculine sense. Labor is ruled by Venus as is
Taurus. Both of, labor, particularly the scales suffers when there's disharmony around it.
And that's like when I do counseling with people, you know, somebody's like a Capricorn
saying, well, you know, this is the truth, this is what's happening with the Libra, you
know, can't stand it.
I'd say, you know, that person is hearing this in a different way than you are.
And they don't hear what you hear
and the way you hear it either.
And often what I was as a translator,
people would say that to me all the time
when I do come for counseling, they say,
he'd say what he says and I'd explain to her what he meant.
She'd say what she says and I'd explain to him what she meant. She'd say what she says and I'd explain to him
what she meant.
And they go, how did she do that?
You know, it was so easy actually,
because the boundary or the difficulty
we're suffering was just this energetic style difference.
And once we get that under our belts,
that that's a reality.
There's a lot of peter in there.
There's a lot of stuff to learn, a lot of stuff to do. And as I say, the only deal breaker is nobody's entitled
to be mean on purpose. It's a deal breaker. I say, don't spend 10 minutes with somebody
who hurts you on purpose, even if it's only once every six months. This is a deal breaker.
You can tell them once or twice or even a hundred times if you want
That's a deal breaker, but at some point if it keeps happening. That's a deal breaker because
It's off and it's indulging offness to go along with it
It's not you're not being tolerant. You're being abused. And that's not okay.
And you're in charge of whether you get abused.
And so part of being mentally healthy is knowing when that is.
And that you can speak up for yourself.
You don't have to get mad.
You just say, sorry, that's not acceptable.
Walk out the door.
You see, how fast people turn around when you just turn around and walk out the door? The game that they've been playing the the game of their
Their culture or the childhood or their defense mechanisms was they they keep making you pay
Nobody's playing the game anymore. It's like what if we gave a war and nobody came
You know, it's like we said before it's how it ends
Can't do it. What's after Venus?
After Venus, Mars.
And Mars is the warrior, the sort of, the masculine energy.
One of the things I discovered is every planet and every sign has a high note and a low note.
So when things aren't working well, you're doing the low note. You don't have to give up the energy.
You have to move to the high note.
So the low note of Aries is war.
The high note of Aries is great assertion and bravery,
and courage, and ability to go ahead and do great things.
It's wonderful. Like, it was wonderful about men.
Venus, the high note,
is beauty, the art in every way, sensuousness, loveliness. The negative is the kind of malicious
thing that Venus was known for, her jealousies or things like that. You can't do that. That's
the low note. So if you're being jealous when
you're dealing with that energy, you've got to move out of that. So after Venus comes Jupiter,
and when Jupiter as a planet touches any other planet, it expands, it gives it more energy.
I'm having my Jupiter return as well in Taurus. So I'm always optimistic and positive anyway.
But now I can be optimistic and positive about how we're trying to destroy the earth and
we're not going to.
And that doesn't mean we don't have to do something about it, we do.
So okay, after Jupiter comes Saturn, we did Saturn.
And after Saturn comes Uranus.
And Uranus is the futuristic thinking, head of its time thought. It's way out there. Every time I talk about Uranus, I have to quote
Niels Bohr, astrophysicist, who said, when asked about the universe as he was discovering things,
he said, the universe is stranger than we think. He said, no, it's stranger than we can think. This is where we are now.
This is the crux of the matter. There's nothing we can know enough to handle what we're leaking
into the rest of the universe. I used to have these two mind stretchers that I gave in workshops,
and I'd say, okay okay one mind stretcher is
Here's the whole universe. I just spread my arms real wide
It's the whole universe as it actually is down here in a little tiny part is us and it's
the duality playing game and
What's going to happen to us when we're in this duality playing game? So we're going to leak out into the rest of the universe
That's the mind stretcher be ready to leak out into the rest of the universe. That's the mind stretcher. Be ready to leak out into the rest of the universe. So that's what's happening
now. We're leaking out into the rest of the universe and the universe is leaking into us
because we are part of it. So the other mind stretcher is, this is best done visually,
but if you can imagine me holding my hands together, and what we have to realize, all there is is now.
All there ever is is now.
And if you get your two figures together and you open your hands slowly, this is now.
And as you stretch it out, now, still now, still now.
Everything that is, no matter how far you go out into future and past, it's still now.
It's all now. Our brains are evolving to be
able to handle that concept very well. And when we do, I do believe we'll end war. I
believe that the end of war could be even in my lifetime. That's how potent I believe
the shift can be because it can happen quickly. Because as we use love as the mediator, as we use love as the connecting freedom to see
and to feel and to know each other, as we actually do that, the rest of the universe
can enter us.
And our brains are already built to handle it.
We just have censored them down to a very
narrow, we've made them stupid. The advantage I have being born in 1941 is that, and I realize
the reason I had to be born in 1941 is I had to be born during the war. I had to be actually
alive and my father went to war and he came back. He really was in the occupation of Japan.
And it was very painful for both of us
because we both loved Japan.
We loved Japanese art.
We had a great affinity.
I don't know where it came from, but beyond knowing,
when I was a little girl, the knife he, the sword,
the woman's sword that he brought back,
I looked at it and I knew how it was made.
You know, I was six years old.
I'm looking at the sword.
I could see the folding and the psychic attunement
to the metal to make it and the lacquer, the lacquer work,
the patience, the many layers.
I relived it just looking at it.
So it hurt both of us that Japan was an enemy.
But I have always said anything that's already happened had to happen. So it hurt both of us that Japan was an enemy.
But I have always said anything that's already happened had to happen.
Otherwise it wouldn't have happened.
That's right.
It needed to happen because we were so unconscious
in that way.
And as we get to reflect back on it,
we get to see how that wasn't necessary.
But it was necessary because we didn't know
it wasn't necessary. This is the paradox
of time and living through all now, now. Anyway, it's an exciting time to be alive.
And the next planet after Uranus, which is all this kind of, all we're talking about,
very Uranian conversation, Pluto. Tell me about Pluto. Pluto is really interesting.
Pluto is a very odd planet.
It has a different elliptic.
Everything it does is different.
But Pluto, which was discovered when plutonium was discovered, and it's interesting how all
these planets got these names that are metaphorically completely accurate.
And the last few of them given by astronomers, I mean, I think there was a point they were
considering calling Uranus King George or something because Herschel discovered.
Anyway, the consensus and the synthesis always happens because of synchronicity in the universe. Synchronicity isn't causal
exactly, it has a causal quality, but it is part of another dimension of how
things work. We don't have really a name for that except synchronicity, which is
only sort of talking about the effect. There really is more to reality that if we would relax
and allow more love and more communal confrontation
of understanding, it would start becoming evident.
Pluto is part of this.
Right now, the United States is having its Pluto return.
It only happens every 240 years, so human can't have it, but our country has it.
And what Pluto does when you have Pluto aspects is it makes you face things, it's now the
ruler of Scorpio, along with Mars, but now the major ruler of Scorpio, it makes you face
things about sex, death, money, and power that are dark that you don't
want to see that you have a defense mechanism against that is part of your shadow.
It makes the shadow be confronted by circumstances that happen.
So what's happening?
What is America's shadow?
Slavery.
Stealing the land from the Indians and demonizing them, women not
having any rights, and getting rid of a king, authoritarian thinking. The four
things we are being confronted with anew as we have a Pluto return, that which
wasn't covered, covered quite amazingly well, even though they couldn't
get rid of slavery because people wouldn't allow it.
And even though, yes, I know, Jefferson and, you know, Jocington had slaves.
But that was the thing that was there at the time.
Now is your time to see forgiveness for what we did wrong?
I don't know what, I wanna say incredible joy
for the room we are going to make for liberty
and justice in this world.
We're going to live it.
We're not gonna play this song and dance of hide and fake
and dint and dint and that we keep doing ad nauseam. That's going to get so tiresome. It's going to be
the easiest thing in the world to just do what's fair, to do what's earnest and to
respect the liberty of other people. It's a joy to do. It won't be hard. And people who hold grudges on any side of
the equation will have to see that you can't have a grudge. It won't work. Claim your power.
One of the things I love when I was young, I didn't work too many black people in my school. I only knew them in the band.
But black is beautiful.
I love that so much.
I thought that was one of the best memes or buttons.
Because all I could ever see was the beauty in black people.
It was counteracted by the craziness of the culture. They were wrong.
So all I could see was the beauty.
One of my first boyfriends then at that time was Rayford Johnson,
who's an Olympic Decathlon winner.
And we also met in a very psychic way.
There's no accidents really.
There's energetic opportunities you cannot avail yourself of, but you're usually pretty
compelled to at least try it a little bit because it's very compelling.
The universe is laying it at your feet or in front of your nose.
So you kind of do, at least have to sort of see it somewhat.
That's why we don't have to worry. You don't
have to worry about what you missed. You just don't be afraid you didn't get what you wanted.
Don't be upset if the plane's late. It doesn't matter. Even if it matters, it doesn't matter.
I don't know quite how to say that. Just pay attention. It's wonderful. It's easy too. And it's creative.
Because if you decide to change the channel, I think it was William James who said the
great discovery of his generation, of course it wasn't his generation. It happened many
times before. Gandhi had it and many people had it before. but in his generation it was a big in psychology, American psychology.
It was a big revelation is that we are in charge of our attitudes.
We can create our own attitudes.
We do not have to stay stuck in certain attitudes.
We create them.
And when you have that desire for truthfulness and kindness and when you
have the desire of love and freedom and goodwill, it's amazing. It's like a synergy that's
going to pop out all over. That's why I'm not worried. This is my message that I can
feel experientially because I'm so sensitive.
I mean, the first time I saw the video film on TV
of the concentration camps, I was about 18 or 19,
I threw up and I don't throw up easily.
I just couldn't stand it.
I just couldn't believe it.
I mean, I knew sort of about it,
but every face I saw, I saw the whole thing, you know? And all that was behind it. I mean, I knew sort of about it, but I, every face I saw, I saw the whole thing,
you know, and all that was behind it and what made it happen. It was all too much to bear.
I don't quite feel that way now because I feel that we're all here to do our thing,
we're all part of the whole dance. Let's not keep making people die to have revelations,
you know. Let's make it easier. Let's make it easier. Music
