A Good Day For Love

The planets align for destiny
Source: California Psychics

There are callers who sometimes want to get dates for the coming month or year ahead. They want to know when the best astrological aspects might be lined up for love, communication or finances. An astrologer can look into a caller's chart and end up saying, "Wow, in November you'll have your best day of the year! Its days like that that give us something to look forward to," explains psychic and Astrologer Marti ext. 9057.

Also a Clairsentient, and a Channel who reads the Tarot, Marti has a regular caller who was initially obsessed with the future timing of her career. A workaholic, Jessica (not her real name) was a respected attorney, definitely headed toward great things. She was also popular with men, but only consulted with Marti on astrological aspects regarding court dates rather than more personal dates. After spending a quiet week at her family vacation home in Mexico, Jessica called to check in with Marti before heading back to work.

"I was journaling every day while I was away, and strangely, the guy I dated during my first year of college kept coming up in my thoughts. James (not his real name) moved east to go to school, and years later I heard he had become a district attorney. We had a wonderful, fun, intimate relationship. He moved and that was it. It just ended."

"Just before you left for your vacation," Marti responded, "do you recall my telling you that you were going to meet a man in a park? There'll be something about his eyes, and an obvious letter 'A'." Marti was getting the same message again.

"Yes, but his initials don't include an 'A,' and I can't get him out of my mind."

Marti loves to throw out a few cards from her Morgan-Greer Tarot deck even before she picks up the phone, and she was already getting a scenario for Jessica. "Since you never forgot his birthday, and it's coming up very soon, why don't you give him a call?"

Marti went on to explain that Cancer and Venus were trining her Jupiter, the planet of communication. "Any communication during that time will be good for you, but there is a risk involved - because Venus is on a square to your sun sign. But I think the risk is worth it."

"But I'm not looking for anything from him. I mean... I'm sure he's married or who knows, he may not remember me… I was just wondering about him," Jessica responded, surprised at Marti's suggestion.

"Your planets are pointing to a call! And it's just a birthday call," Marti told her in an encouraging tone, knowing that Jessica's aspects were nearly perfect for a good conversation.

With her usual matter-of-fact delivery, Jessica called Marti the following week and told her that she had spoken to James on his birthday - but he sounded different, she remarked. "Cold, sort of…" They had a friendly catch-up conversation, and he mentioned that he would be visiting his father in Washington D. C., an hour's drive from where she was working in Virginia. James asked if she'd be willing to meet him there for lunch. They agreed to meet at the Washington Memorial in three weeks.

"His voice was cold?" Marty asked. She knew Jessica was reading him wrong.

"Yes. I was surprised when he suggested we get together. He did say that he's single."

"The Washington Memorial is in a park," Marti reminded Jessica.

Jessica wasn't moved. "This is just two old friends getting together," she insisted, while Marti explored their planets.

On the day of the meeting, Venus would be trining Jessica's Mercury, and Venus was trining both James's and Jessica's Venus - which meant it would be a very good day for love. Jessica didn't seem to digest the news that her old flame was probably the guy for her.

Marti heard from Jessica about a month after the planned meeting and told her how it had gone. "When I arrived at the memorial I realized I had no idea what he looked like any more. There were people everywhere… it had been at least 15 years since I'd seen him." A man approached her whom she failed to recognize… she was leery. Was it James? He appeared cold and professional. He was bald, and he wore thick black-rimmed glasses. "He didn't look bad - he was trim and buff, and well-dressed, but his head was shaved, and he had those dark rimmed glasses. Luckily, when he said 'Jessica' and put his hand out, I recognized his voice. My first thought was, 'I'll just have lunch with him, and then politely excuse myself.'"

But after the pair had lunch they walked and talked for hours. James went to visit Jessica twice during his vacation, and she'd already been to see him in Los Angeles before she called Marti with another update.

"When we became intimate I saw a tattoo on his shoulder - it was the letter 'A'! I thought, 'Oh, Marti,' and I asked him whose initial it was. He laughed, and told me that the night he found out he had passed the bar exam, his buddies dared him to get the 'A for attorney' tattoo! I finally began to wonder if he was the one... The park, the unusual eyes, the letter A!"

Marti didn't hear from Jessica again for several months. Much later, the client explained that after she had met James, her work issues seemed to evaporate. When she did call, it was to check on the timing of her move to California to be with James. "On my next call, I'll be asking about a wedding date!"

Charm takes center stage by Cortney Litwin

Angry eruptions can derail relationships at the start of the week, so strive to stay centered. Serenity resumes during the midweek love-fest, with sensual indulgence and charm peaking on Friday. This weekend, the Moon in Gemini takes witty repartee over the top. Have fun flirting! Best days for love: Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Week of July 13 - 19, 2009

Cancer: Irritations can be combustible at the start of the week, so try to avoid unstable people and situations. A group project can inspire a romantic interlude midweek, or a friend may match you up with someone fabulous. Role-playing and other sexy games percolate your desires this weekend, so use your imagination!

Leo: You may get the urge to revamp your long-term plans at the start of the week. Listen to your intuition. An exotic atmosphere makes passion soar on Tuesday. Think sensuality (a massage or good food) to inspire romance in the middle of the week. Networking at friendly gatherings can bring both love and a career opportunity this weekend.

Virgo: An intimate moment can get complicated (jealousy? control issues? secrecy?) at the beginning of the week. Your midweek sensuality is irresistible, so plan an enticing rendezvous. Also, romance might be found during a class or a spiritual activity. Friday is especially hot! Playful exchanges bring out your lusty side this weekend, so be creative.

Libra: Your partner may be argumentative or controlling on Monday, but sexy quality time can set things right on Tuesday. An artsy or natural environment inspires romance in the middle of the week. It's time to get out of your brain, and into your body. Passion escalates in an exotic ambiance or during a trip this weekend. Saturday is especially romantic!

Scorpio: You're feeling lusty-but-unreachable at the start of the week. Sharing your feelings will inspire intimacy. A midweek twosome brings delight. If you're solo, stay open to finding love. Expressing what you want in the boudoir heats up passion this weekend!

Sagittarius: Love is wild or confrontational on Monday, when cooperation and compromise are difficult. Passion soars on Tuesday. An outdoor activity can rev up romance in the middle of the week, when love requires a leisurely approach. Feelings are likely exaggerated on Friday. Shared activities, ideas and feelings inspire love this weekend, so think in terms of two!

Capricorn: An overreaction can unhinge the start of your week, so take some time to get centered. Romance is sweet and sexy midweek, especially on Thursday - plan an enticing rendezvous, or keep your eyes open for someone new. Your creativity is on fire, too. A mind-to-mind connection revs up romance this weekend, so share your brainpower!

Aquarius: Rash words can derail love at the start of the week. You'll want to be careful while traveling, too. A homey date with plenty of good food and drink inspires love toward the middle of the week. Slow down and enjoy the moment. Romance soars into the stratosphere this weekend - especially on Saturday - so open your heart and enjoy!

Pisces: You may need to take a stand for your ideas or feelings on Monday. Look for a moneymaking opportunity on Tuesday. Words of love inspire romance midweek, so express what's in your heart. A trip for two can bring a lusty interlude as well! Entertaining a gathering of friends (or just that special someone) brings joy to the weekend.

Aries: Tempers flare easily at the beginning of the week, although by Tuesday you'll mostly likely be feeling passion instead of peevishness. Love is slow and sensual toward the middle of the week, so take your time with your significant other - both in and out of the bedroom. You're likely to overspend on Friday. Sharing your sense of humor and your insights inspires love this weekend.

Taurus: You may be irritated easily for no apparent reason at the start of the week. A serene environment will help reset your equilibrium. Your natural sexiness makes you irresistible toward the middle of the week, although you'll be tempted to overindulge (food? drink? sex?) on Friday. Lighten up and have some fun to rev up romance this weekend, especially on Saturday!

Gemini: A friend or group project can be troublesome at the start of the week. Enticing, cozy surroundings (a home-cooked meal, music, candles) at your abode can inspire romance midweek. Get physical! Keep your eyes open for a moneymaking opportunity, as well. Your powers of attraction skyrocket this weekend. Plan a tantalizing twosome on Saturday.

The Art of Harmony

How do you get it?

by Psychic Verbena, ext 9615
Source: California Psychics

Some people find harmony by striding down a crowded, bustling urban street, hammering out a deal on their Blackberry. For others harmony is found in silence, space, big trees and solitude. Harmony happens most easily when you're living the life you want. You're doing what floats your boat, and life just feels right.

Unlike harmony in music, math or physics, each person's experience of life harmony is unique. But because we live in a world of contrast and change, any sense of harmony that depends on outer circumstances is bound to be jostled and knocked out of alignment - sometimes frequently.

Out of harmony
Challenges in health, love, money or work are hard to avoid, and some are easier to restore to harmony than others. But what can really mess with your mind is impending change - especially change that seems to be out of your hands, when events appear to be moving you away from what you want. Sometimes they seem to keep going in the wrong direction no matter how hard you struggle.

Or you could be experiencing the kind of soul-deep restlessness and incompleteness that usually indicates it's time for you to make a change, no matter how much you hate the thought. For some, though, even getting close to a sense of harmony seems impossible. If you've grown up in challenging circumstances, or recently been hammered by difficulties- or if your experience tells you that life just isn't on your side, and that there's nothing you can do to change it - harmony seems to exist in another universe entirely.

Find and keep it
To put it simply, maintaining harmony is about finding your center. This is easiest to define in martial arts terms. The martial arts teach that your center is an actual place in your body which, when you focus there, allows you to move immediately in any direction with speed, balance and strength.

You can find the same kind of center in your mind, emotions and spirit if you cultivate an attitude of mind and heart that allows you to respond in the moment to any situation with calm and optimism. Once you know how to get to that place and stay there, harmony is yours.

History
For at least as long as there's been written language, philosophers in every culture have recorded their thoughts about how to maintain harmony, and they pretty much agree that it's all about a positive attitude. No matter how it is achieved - meditation, non-attachment, faith, trust, or self-confidence - a positive attitude is at the core of a harmonious existence.

Of course, self-confidence is a powerful basis for your positive attitude. If you believe in your heart and soul that you can cope with anything, then many of life's fears won't get you down. But self-confidence isn't enough to keep you in a state of harmony by itself. You can have full faith in your ability to cope with anything and still be desperately unhappy. So what's the missing ingredient?

Staying power
If you have a spiritual practice that sustains and nourishes you, or if your friends, family, or spiritual community is very supportive of you - or if you believe in a higher power that always works toward well being - then you have found one of the two best paths to harmony.

But very often a person's spiritual practice leads them to an even more powerful path, grounding them in a spiritual reality that can sustain or restore harmony like magic. It seems like the opposite of self-confidence - and yet, amazingly, it confers a deeper and more permanent level of confidence, one that is rooted in a sense of being one with the Divine. It is something that is activated by your open, optimistic participation in life.

Buddhists define this state as one of non-attachment. It means you're willing to let go of control, to accept the situation when challenges and changes crop up. Experience or faith (or both) have taught you that it's a good idea to go along for the ride - first, because it's more restful than struggling, but also (and even more importantly) because very often your higher power is creating something far better than you could have imagined on your own. You just need to stay centered, and alert to the possibilities along the way.

When you're able to take what comes - to go through life with your head up, your eyes open and a delighted interest in everything that occurs, because you just know that the future is a gift waiting to for you to unwrap it - then harmony will become your natural state.

Frolicking Summer Flicks

Staff picks for the season
Source: California Psychics

The mercury is rising, vacations are afoot, and we're all feeling the urge to get out there and enjoy a few adventures. Alas, there are bound to be days when it's too hot to go outside and play - so we've put together a selection of films that will let you frolic inside, as well.

Two of them will be in theatres near you this summer - plus, a selection of old summer favorites is available on DVD - all are Frolic Factor and Sunny Side rated, for best enlightenment and entertainment value. Whether you're looking for laughs, are on a quest for romance or you simply wish to escape into a fantastic world on the edge of dreams - this list offers many hours of summer distraction.

New flicks...

Cherie
Lavish lawn parties. Exquisite costumes. Love, betrayal and Paris. It's everything you need in a salacious period piece. Set in 1920s Paris, it tells the story of Lea - a stunning courtesan to the social elite (Michelle Pfeiffer) is asked to hold off on retirement until she can teach her ex-rival's 19-year-old son a thing or two about sex and society. Though initially indifferent to Lea's advances, the young man discovers that the game of love can be scandalously invigorating.

Frolic factor: Rupert Friend, the film's star, may not be well known to American moviegoers, but his obscurity won't last long once audiences get a glimpse at his jaw-dropping good looks.

Sunny side: The sets, locations, and photography are rich and lush - and Michelle Pfieffer always manages to pull off the role of seductress with such verve!

Julie & Julia
The film chronicles the life of renowned chef Julia Child (Meryl Streep), and that of real-life Internet figure Julie (Amy Adams) - a young woman who, lacking a solid career path, decides to cook all 524 recipes in Child's infamous first volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Bouncing back and forth in time between the life of the master and that of the optimistic protégé, we are reminded that sometimes not knowing what you don't know brings about remarkable self-discovery.

Frolic factor: What is there to say? Meryl Streep is brilliant, as usual. Her portrayal of the beloved Child is a joy.

Sunny side: The promise of chicken being dropped on the floor during a live broadcast, and Amy Adams finding the meaning of life amidst culinary catastrophe, makes for a cinematic feast.

Oldies but goodies...

Heaven Can Wait (1978)
This one was, of course, directed by the McDreamy of the flared-pants era - Warren Beatty - who also stars in it as a successful football quarterback who is almost killed in a car accident… almost. The problem is, an overzealous angel transports his soul to the afterlife only to discover he wasn't meant to die after all. To make matters worse, his body has been cremated. Now the only way to resume his true destiny is to assume another person's body. And the only one available belongs to a self-serving millionaire! Funny, charming and just what you need to get ready for football season.

Frolic factor: The onscreen chemistry between Beatty and co-star Julie Christie is incredibly genuine, as the two happened to have been off-screen lovers at the time the film was made. More impressive is the gentle handling of romance, which is seldom so poetic and subtle in today's films.

Sunny side: The profound words of Mr. Jordan (played by the distinguished James Mason) contain so much spiritual wisdom that you can't help but secretly hope this fictitious character will indeed be your own personal concierge at the end of your life.

La Dolce Vita (1960)
This is the ultimate frolic film. La Dolce Vita - The Sweet Life is one of Federico Fellini's classics, and a film long considered by scholars to be among the greatest achievements of world cinema. In typical Fellini fashion, the movie lacks traditional, linear plot structure. Instead, the story features an array of effervescent socialites dancing, drinking and creating scandals for the paparazzi one summer in Rome.

Frolic factor: This truly is an "art film." Crazy camera angles, abrupt close-ups, symbolic imagery - it's all there, setting the stage for the debauchery that unfolds.

Sunny side: Watching La Dolce Vita is like having an out-of-body experience.

Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Even if you're not a fan of musicals, you'll be impressed by the ingenious integration of pop/rock hits in this enchanting love story. Set at the infamous Moulin Rouge, the film tells the story of Christian and Satine, a poet and a performer (Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, respectively), who are desperately in love - but unable to be together because Satine has been betrothed to a wealthy duke who is the theater's one and only benefactor.

Frolic factor: Stylized direction, good fashion, oversaturated colors and fun, whimsical sets make this film a visual dazzler.

Sunny side: True love prevails!

Summer movies are a wonderful way to escape the heat - and take a break from whatever's going on in your own life, good and bad. Happy viewing...
