In the book of Genesis we read that once God finished his creation, he politely asked Adam and Eve to name the animals and plants. Since an early age I wondered how come Adam and Eve chose such complicated unpronounceable names such as Agathis Australis etc. That query put aside, names are considered to be of out most importance in many spiritual traditions. In Kundalini Yoga, the yogini starts her practice with the chant Sat Nam, which roughly translate to “truth is my name.” In Judaism, God is many times called Ha’Shem which means “the name.” Many traditions assert that our names contain our destiny, the DNA of our soul. In other words, our name can tell us where we came from, where we are as well as our destiny. Our names tell a story which takes as much time telling as our years on earth. Our names’ tale begins in conceptions and ends with our final breath.
While our name might change, add or subtract letters, shift, morph, misspelled or mispronounced, it will always serve as a lighthouse that shows the way even in the darkest most turbulent nights. In the introduction to Cosmic Navigator, I share the story of how I followed the meaning of my name all the way from Israel to the US and how it helped me connect to Astrology, Kabbalah, Yoga and everything that I am today.

On August 16th we will experience the second act of the drama that was unfolded on the Solar eclipse of Aug 1st. This coming Full Moon in Aquarius represents the completion of a process started on the New Moon in Leo two weeks ago. I received many emails and comments about how powerful, challenging and transforming the weekend of August 1st was on so many levels. It does not mean this coming eclipse will be adding gasoline to the wildfires the eclipse started, but it does suggest that whatever was initiated on the new moon will come full circle on the full moon. So, as the poets say, take heed!
This eclipse in Aquarius, the sign of humanity, friends, groups and organizations will ask us to let go of whatever is holding us back, as a society and as individuals from experiencing the full range of energies of the Age of Aquarius (see below the excerpt). It will ask us to examine all our friendships, clubs and groups we belong to and reassess our connection to our fellow human beings. On this full moon weekend, spend time with your friends or find activities that might introduce you to a new circle of friends… Read More

On August 1st we will experience a total solar eclipse in Leo. A total solar eclipse is caused when the moon covers up the sun by passing directly between it and the earth. Traditionally, this planetary alignment was associated with misfortune. But we cannot seriously make the eclipses the scapegoats for our problems. What the eclipses do is unveil secrets, release the beasts from our inner Guantanamo-Bay and bring them to our awareness. The eclipse did not put the dirt under the rug, it only shows us what was already there, thus forcing us to bring the vacuum cleaner. Eclipse are associated with the deepest layer of our subconscious. If heaven and hell have each seven levels, then I am sure the subconscious has 7 as well and if so, the eclipse has the magic of transmitting our awareness to the deepest layer. It is a psychic elevator to the place where we keep all our X files. That is what is happening this weekend.
This eclipse is especially powerful since it is located in the Golden State of Leo. It is as if the eclipse will strip the king of ceremony and ritual and show us the naked emperor. Leo is associated with the ego and this eclipse will do all in its power to humble us and peel off whatever part of the ego that blocks us or stand in our path to happiness and creativity, which are also ruled by Leo. Since Mercury will conjunct the eclipse, it will help us receive a message, a communication, a clue, a book, an email or an intellectual opportunity to better understand what aspect of our ego we need to let go of. It will probably be something to do with fear, a childhood fear (Leo rules children). Something you still carry with you from the ages of 3-7. Something that might have served you well at that age, but is no longer needed, like an army in times of peace. The New moon of each month (August 1st) determines the energy of the next 30 days. It will set the intention for the next lunar cycle. Start something new on the New Moon and send it out to the Moon. Then focus on gratitude on the Full Moon in two weeks time. Since Leo is the sign of sports, entertainment, fun and happiness, you should initiate these activities either practically or symbolically in these next few days. Read More

The tagline “Believe it or not, he’s the good guy,” started a train of thoughts that eventually lead me to this Spirit Talk.
The line is from the poster for the new film of master storyteller, Guillermo del Toro, Hell Boy. The poster depicts an image of what appears to be a red demon, an image that could have been taken from a manual used in the Middle Ages by clergy to identify devils and demons.
The poster actually counted on the fact that we might not believe he is the good guy. Immediately I thought about the graphic novel I am currently reading called Lucifer. In that story, the fallen angel takes residence in Los Angeles after retiring from running Hell. As you get to know the unlikely hero, you cannot help falling for the charming Devil and identifying with him. He is kind of intriguing, deep, and multi-dimensional. Common notions up until a few decades ago, would have made me a Satanist for reading such a thing. Read More

Water swallowed the world.
One tiny boat, all that remained of life that trod the dirt, splashed through the monstrous waves. Noah steered toward nowhere. This one kind soul, the only person on the planet who gave more than he received, had barely escaped this cleansing of humanity, this rebooting of God’s creation. As rain streamed from the sky, Noah had rushed his family into the boat, herding together as many living creatures as he could find. He’d placed a “Save The Earth” sticker on the prow of his floating menagerie and huddled deep within to wait out the Flood. Read More

The song Bendicion is an actual live Santeria ritual I recorded over at Sabrina’s Botanica. Sabrina is the one chanting in the song in Spanish and African. She is a very good friend I have had the honor of knowing personally for years. She is a Santeria High priestess and she healed many of my friends and even saved my brother’s life, but that is another story… Read More
