“Tree of Life Grove” Program

The Planting Project:

The Tree of Life Grove will be located in Tahoe National Forest at a place called Onion Valley. An illegal campfire started the Gap fires in Onion Valley a few years ago and this area is need of restoration. The fire was so intense the forest is having problems regenerating. The Gap Fires decimated the area leaving blackened tree skeletons standing on white and black ash-covered ground. The Forest’s soil productivity, watershed integrity and wildlife habitat have been heavily impacted.

The benefits of planting trees after a fire are many. Through your book and the generous contributions of your readers, we'll be able to restore this land by planting trees. Once again the land will experience a rebirth or a renewal of life. Planting as Onion Valley will being in the Spring of 2003. Read More

Shofar Blowing

If you are a human and or an alien, your mythological birthday is coming up on September 8th. Let me be the first or maybe the only one to congratulate you Happy Birthday! Make sure you buy yourself a gift; besides helping out the economy it will make you feel good. According to rabbinical lore, Adam and Eve were created on Rosh Hashanah, which falls on the New Moon of the seventh month. But a closer look at the biblical text reveals that God did not only create Adam and Eve on Friday, but also the concept of relationship. Read More

Saturn in Virgo – Pets!

I was given the honor and was selected along with other healers around the world to take part in a TV series about spirituality and its effect on our lives. The producers have asked me to contact people who read my books and/or met me in person and were touched by my readings, workshops or books to be interviewed and give their accounts, synchronicities and other testimonials. They are coming next week to LA and would love to interview anyone who is willing to talk about it. Please contact me if you have a nice story and willing to share it. Hopefully your account could inspire other people to embark on a spiritual path. Thx!

Virgo, the sign of service, work and health is also associated with pets. It already has been proven that pets help us heal. In a recent study conducted at UCLA with 76 hospitalized heart failure patience, anxiety dropped 24% among patients who were asked to pet a dog for 12 minutes a day. It does not take a lot. Even anxiety drugs don’t work so fast. I know it’s true, my dog heals me on a daily basis. My dog is a Gemini and he taught me to communicate, like all good Gemini do. I never knew my neighbors were such cool people. I was forced be more social and open up and I am happy my dog walks me a few times a day and makes me talk to strangers. Pets do that to us. While we think we walk them, they actually walk us… Read More

2009 – PART I – NUMBERS

(PART II & III shall soon follow.. ; )

While the Chinese, Muslem and Jewish New Year begins on the New Moon and the Astrological New Year starts on the Spring Equinox, there is absolutely nothing energetic, celestial or mythically significant about January 1st except the fact that for some reason, be it political, synchronistic or consequential, all around the world, humanoids and their allies change the name of the year on that inauspicious date. (I agree it’s a very long sentence…)

Time and Space, we are told by scientists and mystics alike, is relative and most likely a human construct anyway, so let’s just play along and join the choir: Happy New Year!

So what is this human construct called “2009” all about? Read More

Power of Names II

Before I begin, happy Equinox! On Sep 22nd, we officially started the introversive and feminine part of the year. We are asked to mimic nature, shed off what we do not need and let go of our masks. This will help us become more intimate with ourselves and others. It is a wonderful time for insights, meditations, self discovery and study. Mercury is going retrograde from September 25th to October 15th. You know the drill, watch what you sign, don’t make major purchases and be careful what you say, write or communicate.

In this SpiriTalk, I would like to continue the subject of the Power of Names by analyzing the names of the Presidential candidates. I will start with the Republican nominees Sarah Palin and John McCain and next SpiriTalk work with the Democratic elected Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Read More

Trees, Trees, Everywhere A Tree

Research used for "A Wish Can Change Your Life" by Gahl Sasson and Steve Weinstein

Even if I were certain the world would end tomorrow, I would plant a tree this very day.
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Nothing crosses cultures and continents like the tree. It has flourished as the central symbol of life, immortality and enlightenment for just about every tribe and religion that ever was. And when we encounter the same symbol repeated over and over in hugely different traditions among peoples from farflung parts of the globe, these patterns announce something bigger than dogma or Bible or fun folk tales. They reveal universal truths. Not just Jewish truths, Christian truths, Cherokee or Greenpeace truths. But the authentic keys to life. Read More

Identity Theft and Mercury Retrograde

"Standing face to face with her theif" Astrological comments on an article at the LA Times

New Moon in Leo - Thursday 20th of August

Happy Spring, Passover and Easter

This time of the year represents the liberation from oppression, the winter of our discontent, and whatever enslaved us. That is the reason early farmers in Mesopotamia celebrated the festivities of Barley which later morphed into Passover and finally into Easter. I decided to make this spiritalk more visual and share with you the PowerPoint presentation I use in the workshops I lead about the Astrology of the Financial Crisis. I hope you enjoy it if joy is the right word for these matters, and please pass it along. Read More

The Astrological Remedy for the Economy – Add More Taurus!

We have just moved into Scorpio, the sign of death and transformation. If you are feeling some slight winter blues then don’t take it personally, the trees, nature and the earth herself (at least her Northern side) is there with you, shading the old and preparing for a renewal. It is in Scorpio that we celebrate Halloween, a celebration of death and transformation, a festivity of magic and spells. It is this time of the year that the Celts have insured us, we have the ability to look through the veils and see the other side. Who knows, maybe that is why the election in the US always takes place in the midst of Scorpio as to facilitate change and transformation. This email though will be dedicated to the opposite sign of Scorpio – Taurus

At last we are over the Mercury retro in Libra. It has been a rather intense period of time. The scales of Libra swung violently and the place where we saw it the most was in the stock market. 8 days of the worst slide in 7 decades and then on October 13th the highest rise in 75 years! My friend Evi Orologas send me this link from CNBC mentioning the Mercury Retro and its association to the financial situation. Economist are so desperate to explain what is happening in Wall Street that they are not afraid to be seen flirting with Astrology…

While Libra is governed by Venus the planet associated with money, it is the other sign ruled by Venus, Taurus, that is considered to be the zodiac archetype associated with money and finance. It is not surprising that when the market is doing well it is called Bull market and when it is sleeping it is called Bear. The symbolic logic of astrology tells us that if Taurus rules astrology, by connecting to that sign we can enhance our moneymaking abilities and attract abundance into our lives. Astrology asks us in times of recession to become a Taurus and do what we can to embrace that archetype.

So how do we do it? Read More
