Answering Reader’s Questions…

A reader named Roe asks:

Hi!
How much do you charge for a reading? I like your answers and the way you handle the questions. I’m curious as to what kind of a president Obama would be? Other astrologers have predicted a serious occurrence at the time of the election and also around the swearing in ceremony-what’s your take on it?

Thanks for the kind words.

I can do private readings over the phone via paypal. For a 15/20 minute reading it’s $90. I suggest doing this first so you don’t have to spend much to try me out. I can set up a time to call you and we can do the paypal transaction at the beginning of the reading, of course this would not be counted in your reading time. 15/20 minutes is generally enough to cover all of what you really need to know. Of course if you have a bunch of questions and you need a lot of information about specific stocks, etc. It would take longer and you might want to go for a 30-40 minute reading for $180 or a 60-70 minutes for $360. This is at the middle range of how much psychic phone reading costs. Here’s a link if anyone is interested in doing a price comparison research: http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Lexy_Moon/Average-Price-Of-A-Psychic-Reading/358939.aspx

For those who are interested you can post and I will contact you via e-mail and we can set it up. In the case of missing children, criminal cases I would be happy to volunteer my time when I can. Or for those of you under extreme duress who really need guidance, I can do a yes/no spread and post it on the blog. Of course I’m always here for anyone wanting to ask a question in the comment section. But I won’t answer it unless it pertains to something bigger than just a personal question unless of course the issue is of dire consequence.

In reference to the later part of the question I don’t have the feeling, as I did in 2000 that the election will be thrown. Firstly, I don’t believe there is strong enough support within the Republican party to put themselves on the line for McCain, and secondly this election will not be close enough to throw. In terms of something happening during the swearing in, I’ll have to look at that. I think it’s only common sense to say that Obama is going to have to double up on the secret service, as I’m sure there will be attempts on his life. All you have to do is read some of the crazy trash people write me! And I’m just a messenger. There are a lot of violent, gun totting racists out there. I do worry about him. But we’ll deal with that when he wins.

And answering what kind of president Obama will be. I think he’s going to have an up hill battle. It’s going to be very hard for him, but he’s going to turn this economic crisis around after a few years and we’ll start to see things look up again. I think his calm demeanor and humanitarian personality will be a huge benefit to our country in our time of need, and  he will go down as an excellent president. But it will be rocky for him, there are going to be a lot of curve balls, not just with the economy, but with foreign affairs, which I’ll get into in later posts once we get through this horrible crisis.

It’s my feeling there really isn’t a person who would be better for this challenge then Obama right here and now. I think just his positive energy and slogan of hope helps uplift us even now. If we had McCain running against someone equivalent to him there would be a lot more hopelessness than there is right now. Obama represents a lot of archetypal things; he represents the American dream which a lot of people had lost hope in. He represents the idea that anything is still possible in our country, and we can’t discount how important this is to our psychology while we are facing perhaps the worst economic crisis in our history. If anything is possible, then we can get out of this, we can find a way. It is this belief in the human spirit, and American ingenuity that will translate to uplift our country. FDR, Lincoln and Kennedy had these qualities and I see them in Obama.

Will McCain/Palin latest character assassination ads against Obama backfire on them? If so, how?
The tarot answers:

No. Unfortunately. McCain/Palin will create confusion and gossip. McCain learned well about smearing your opponent after what was done to him by the Bush campaign his negative campaigning shows the only thing he learned was how to use smearing to his advantage. He always claimed to have more integrity then this, but unfortunately it looks more like bluster from his camp. 

Eventually, the misinformation will get cleared up, but it will confuse people for a bit.

If you could only see all of the crazy, fierce, nasty comments I’ve been getting from the very scared xenophobic, ignorant, racists wing of the Republican party you wouldn’t be surprised by this answer. It’s very sad how hateful some of these people are. I’ve put up one of these posts below. But those who write anonymously won’t see their comments anywhere on the blog. If your too chicken to put your name on your opinion then you don’t have the right to a voice on my blog. 

Here’s a copy of the post I got from one such nasty:

Jackson

JHandmacher@yahoo.com | 98.192.43.63

You are a f*cking wh*re! Obama would cause a worldwide depression because that n*gga does not know a f*cking thing about cutting spending…
and you are a moron for supporting him…go f*ck yourself you faker…

* (replaces u in the first case, o in the second, i in the third and u in the last two.)

I’d like to point out that when the crazy conservatives don’t get the answer they want, they go nuts. I don’t always, and often don’t, like the psychic information I’m given, but that is irrelevant to objective truth. Just ’cause you wish it, doesn’t make it so. This person is an embarrassment and doesn’t even know it. There is no intellectual argument, acting like a school yard bully by name calling is antisocial (or in the olden days they were referred to as sociopathic.) It makes me sad that there are people in this world so full of hate. This is what we are up against. So don’t forget about these types. They are out there, which is why its imperative that intelligent, sensitive, kind hearted, spiritual people vote. We can’t let the bullies of the world bully us any more!

Another question from a reader:

Maggie

mysweetmaggie@yahoo.com | 24.163.108.177

Hi,
I would love to know if you see Florida as an Obama win or a McCain win in the election.

I asked the tarot if McCain would win the vote in Florida. The answer:

No. 

It looks like due to the economy and the trickery of the last Republican administration Floridians don’t trust Republicans. It looks like it won’t matter much as Obama is really going to win by a big margin all over the country, and while it will be good that Florida goes to Obama, it will be a bit of an empty victory as he will win anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised (because of some of the cards in the spread) if we don’t find attempts to game the system down there like the Republicans did in 2000. But it doesn’t look like it will work this time.

Another question:

This is my first time here…very interesting. I’m not sure if I ask questions via ‘leave a comment” but here it goes. The question is regarding the debates as well as the elections:

1. Recently Palin has been trying to smear Obama by saying he is “palling with terrorist”. Will this backfire for the Mccain camp? I think it ridiculous that they are doing this and I just hope people see through the attack ads!
2. You say the tarot said “yes” to Obama on Oct. 7th. What about the last debate. Will he do well?(crossing my fingers for a yes!)
3. Will there be a Democrat in office come January? Anything regarding the Swing states polls….I just want my man Obama to win. I feel great vibes about him and I’m not a psychic! 

The answer to the first question. I asked if Palin smearing Obama by claiming he is “palling” with the terrorists would backfire on her.

The answer: Yes

This will be exposed as a blatant lie very early on. People are already watching and fact checking her with vigor due to her inability to answer a question directly or with any wit. So it will make her look bad again and in turn he will look bad, although I didn’t ask about him specifically.

The other two questions I will answer in depth in later posts. 

Best wishes, good luck and blessed be.

PS. I’m sorry to expose everyone to this rancid hate mail, but I do think it’s important for everyone to know how crazy and violent these nutty right wing xenophobes are. I choose to let people see this one because I’ve been getting a bunch of these type of incoherent racists, sexist and mean spirited comments and have been filtering them out. I wanted everyone to know how important it is not to be complacent about the outcome of the election, which is why I allowed this comment to go through.

Pluto and the Stock Market…

Pluto ruler of death and rebirth, karma and transformation — uh, oh, here it comes. It will be crossing the first house of the Dow Jones chart late December as I wrote in an earlier post. I’m not going to go cover everything I put in that post, but as the economy continues to go south, we are going to see some other bad things not previously mentioned in earlier posts. I was hopeful the bail out agreement would conclude positively with oversight and helping home owners, etc. But as we have seen that didn’t happen, as predicted by the tarot the night before the vote. And of course we saw the repercussions on Wall Street today.

OK, here goes:

We are going to see the collapse of a lot of businesses. I’m afraid there will be infrastructure problems, such as getting goods from one place to the next. Stock up on what your need, we’re in for a big storm. This won’t happen overnight, you will have time and I’m hopeful that congress can still get it together to some degree to stop the bleeding. But if McCain wins we will see a global DEPRESSION unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. It’s imperative that you don’t vote for McCain, really I say this for no other reason other than I know this.

I’m not saying Obama is going to make daisies pop up all over the place and butterflies are going to fly out of rainbows, no. It’s going to be bad for a while either way, but it will be the difference between an economic Nagasaki (McCain) and an economic knife fight (Obama).

Seriously, it will take all of Obama’s 4 years to turn this tragic boat around, but if he stays in office for another 4 after that, I believe we will see ourselves put safely back on track. 

I started this blog because I saw all this coming. I had a horrible feeling this summer, but couldn’t figure out exactly what my intuition was trying to warn me about. As soon as I got clarity I began blogging. 

I’m scared. I’m sure a lot of you out there are as well. It’s imperative that you tell people how dangerous a situation we are in, and that you educate your friends, and family members on the positions of the candidates. I believe this is the most important election in the history of our country. We are at a cross roads. Pluto is a karmic planet. It can be a great turning point or the worst tragedy we’ve ever seen. Help make our country go in the right direction. Make sure to encourage people to get informed (in a real way not in a Fox news/propaganda/Lenny Riefenstahl way) before they vote. 

Now that Pluto is going to cross the Dow Jone’s first house what could have been a positive transformation in the way we did business (if we hadn’t had 8 years of George W.) will now be the karmic equivalent of a shot gun to our head. It’s not going to be good.

We can turn this around. It will take time. But those of us who are intuitive, compassionate and logical must reason with the blind sided. It’s time to put politeness aside for the good of our country, and let those around you know how important this is, for the sake of the global economy and our world as a whole. It’s not just that we are faced with the loss of jobs, money, housing and credit, but this really could cause massive starvation (like Germany in the 1920s when people had to use a wheel barrel full of money to buy a loaf of bread).

There are so many crucial issues, not just this one. Global warming which is doing us in more and more each day — it still seems abstract, and its effects can still be blown off by the majority. But it is every bit as deadly as this economic crisis. So it really is imperative that we all get involved and try to save the world not just for us, but for the generations to come.

Best wishes, blessed be and good luck.

Any Questions for the tarot…

If you have any questions you want the tarot to answer about politics, world events or economy or even stocks. Post in the comment section. I’ll answer it in a post.

If your intuition is telling you to sell a stock on a certain day, I can do a yes/no spread to let you know if it looks like a good time to sell with some interpretation added. If you don’t want anyone to know your financial info just write that in the post and I will not make it public. 

I’m currently working on the astrology of the Georgia/Russia conflict and its relationship to the US. It’s complicated so look for that in the coming days.

Comparison chart of FDR and Barack Obama

A friend told me there has been comparison made between Obama and FDR. Let’s see how this stacks up against their astrology. In FDR’s case we don’t have his time of birth, but I’ve done a solar chart which will give us a pretty good comparison to Obama except for the placement of planets in FDR’s houses.

Both have a Sun Mercury conjunction giving them intelligence, diplomacy and understanding of financial matters, close ties to women, and good oratory abilities. Both have a planet at 1 degree Cancer in FDR’s case it’s his moon and in Obama’s case his Venus. In the chart of the US Constitution this is a critical point as it is the mid-point between the US’s Mars and south node in the 5th house of speculation (also ruling the stock market). They understand crisis well and FDR responded emotionally (some would say his wife did, which would make sense as the moon is in the 5th and would indicate her) and Obama understands it fiscally and diplomatically — a more cool approach, but solid. Both had and have great passion when it comes to domestic issues especially in regards to the 5th house — stock market.

Barack’s point of fortune is on the US Constitution’s Moon, giving good luck when we need it most in foreign affairs (Sag rules the foreign) and in the 10th which is the career or industry of the nation. FDR had his North node there and it also gave us luck and a vision of how to solve future problems via government oversight and regulations which the Republicans have widdled away at ever since. As a side, we are now seeing the effects of deregulation and non regulation in the case of China — it doesn’t work, never has. It’s akin to putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

FDR  had a stellium in Taurus trining the US’s stellium in Virgo. Barack has conjunctions to this stellium, both good in this instance. Barack’s rising conjuncts FDR’s Sun and reflects the same humanitarian urges FDR showed during the Great Depression.

They definitely have major differences as well. FDR had a lot of air and earth in his chart making him even cooler than Obama, who would come at this crisis with tremendous passion and dedication to solving it, not unlike FDR, but the style would be different. FDR came at it with the same resolve, but in a more plodding manner.

FDR had Neptune in Taurus close to the same degree Obama’s opposite Neptune in Scorpio, again the see-saw, similar in a way. Obama however is more spiritual, FDR more pragmatic. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that FDR was completely secular. Obama looks for the hidden and has a genuine interest in the spiritual.

Barack has Saturn in Capricorn opposite the US Constitution’s Uranus, helping to stabilize unseen, out of the blue lightning strikes. This also gives him tremendous ability to foresee potential problems before they happen. He may not realize it, but his intuition about the state of the Union is right on. Barack has both his Sun and Mercury trining the US Constitution’s Moon, again helping to stabilize the country and sooth the emotional roller coaster we’re feeling. FDR had his Sun and Venus sextiling the US Constitution’s Moon again creating the opportunity to do the same, but not with as much punch as Obama’s. 

While the two are not the same, having very different personalities, both their charts give luck, stabilization and confidence to the US’s chart. I’m not saying Obama is magic and all our problems will dissolve if (and hopefully for our sake when) he becomes president, but he will significantly ease our upcoming difficulties and be a great president. It may take a while for him to unravel this mess, but he will be able to get us back on track and the longer he stays in office the more he’ll be able to dig us out of the rabbit hole. 

There are definite parallels between these two men. Both great in a crisis with tremendous aspects to the US chart.

Will John McCain survive if he’s president?

Being a cancer survivor means remission not cure. For a man that is 72 years old (the average life expectancy being 77 but lets face it McCain has had more than his fair share of health crisis in the past.

In Feb/March of 2009, not far into his potential presidency, McCain will face some extremely challenging health aspects. In August he had Uranus opposing his Venus which is when he found his soul mate in Sarah Palin out of the blue. Back to the issue, it will start (signs of this have probably already started and perhaps he knows something we don’t) when Uranus conjuncts his Saturn in the 6th (house of health). He naturally has health issues, chronic in nature that flare up from time to time, probably from stress. But this will hit him hard and oppose his Venus in the 12th (Venus rules his chart) making him look visibly ill. Pluto, we all should know about Pluto at this point — death, rebirth, sex, a hard core nasty when it hits you — will be squaring his Mercury, giving signs of speech trouble and an inability to concentrate. This aspect has been coming and going for a while which is probably why he has gotten so inept at reading from a tele-prompter. Mercury rules his Sun, Venus and his 12th house of death. This really isn’t good for a 72 year old cancer survivor. 

One can never really predict death via astrology, but we can see health troubles, and it looks like he’s in for some seriously bad health early into his administration, so bad it could be fatal. Saturn (the great malefic) is also reeking havoc as it has hit his Neptune (loss and in his case rules his house of health) and then moves over his Venus, his chart ruler and then his Mercury. All in all it doesn’t look good for John McCain’s health and I wouldn’t be surprised if his body gave out early in his administration.

This is why it is imperative to look at Sarah Palin because she would inherit the throne. In her we would see an administration like Bush’s only much worse. I hate to use what some would think of as hyperbole, but in this case it’s actually not, she’s Hitler in high heels. Her chart is more akin to a dictator than a president. Actually, there has never been a president with the kind of chart she has with so much weight on fixed signs and air. Being an Aquarian is generally a pretty good thing, as most have humanitarian urges, but in her case all this is in the 7th (meaning it’s projected onto her partners) and we see an ego run amok with a weak Sun in the 7th with Leo rising. Seriously, she has no ability for details, shades of gray or anything, but absolutes.

Aquarians also like to buck the system which can be good if they have good intentions. Unfortunately, in Palin’s case it’s not that she has bad intentions, its just that she doesn’t have clear, intelligent, fair, balanced and wise judgement. She’d likely to veto bills just because. She’d shred the constitution if she could get away with it and being that we’re half way there, it’s not that out of the question. She’ll let a witch hunter pray over her if she can win. She’s irrational, self absorbed and a “know it all” — not good. Not good at all. And believe me I want to see a woman in the white house more than you could ever know, but not one that would throw us back into the dark ages.

Barack Obama – his chart, who is he?

It’s interesting to see how prevalent the 7th house is in the charts of politicians. As law makers it makes sense being that the 7th house rules courts and justice as well as partnerships, the public and open enemies.

In Barack’s case we see a lot of 7th house action, his mind is defintely occupied with issues of fairness, equality and service. His Leo sun is reigned in by the 6th house of service so any bombast is tempered with his desire to serve coupled with his opposition to Uranus in the 7th and his Aquarius rising he has strong desire to serve humanity.

With his Pluto in the 7th his partner is strong, as we know. And has great influence, as well as Joe Biden will. He takes into consideration other points of view and weighs them heavily in his decision making process.

Moon in Gemini trine his Jupiter gives him a cool emotional demeanor and an understanding of both foreign and domestic people. His childhood would involve a lot of emotional ups and downs and moving quite a bit, this is also public knowledge but is indicated in his chart. His mother was an intellectual and teacher, (Moon in Gemini in the 4th) this created great opportunity for him to grow intellectually as moon trines his Mercury in the 6th. Again he puts his knowledge into serving the greater good. Not surprising he would become a community organizer as his need to serve is strong and taught him a lot about the world and himself.

Mars in Virgo in the 6th again reinforces his desire to play fair and serve others in the process which is probably why he was attracted to law. but the kind of law he was interested in and is interested in is focused on workers and their plight, those that serve others, he identifies with them which is part of his passion to serve.

He has the ability to think outside the box (Aquarius rising) but this is balanced by many factors in his chart which enable him to think in gradations of color as opposed to the black and white world of someone like Sarah Palin who has a proponderance of fixed signs and too much Aquarius in her chart leading her into the realm of magical thinking and the inability to listen to others, this quality often referred derogatorily as “a know it all,” is not present in Barack Obama. His chart is balanced with all the elements and enough mutable signs to offset his fixed sun and rising. He is strong in his convictions without being married to his ideas, able to amend his position to changes that come along when necessary and capable of listening to a good case and changing his mind to fit the facts and circumstances.

His emotional center is his home life, his wife and children, and his mother. Jupiter in Aquarius in the 12th making a trine to his moon will ultimately be a great benefit, just as the chips look down for him luck strikes and fate helps him along. 

All in all he is compassionate, service orientated, humanitarian and extremely intelligent, if this makes him an elitist then we should all be so lucky as to be called this. His excellent aspects make him capable in many ways, not just his general intelligence, ability to understand the working person, his service oriented personality but also he understands finances not just the big picture but the details of the economy. Notice the trine between Saturn in Capricorn in the 12th and Mars in Virgo. He understands what is going on behind the scenes, things we the public do not see and knows how to fix this via legislation, Mars in the 7th in Virgo. It’s no surprise that the top wealthiest among us those in the top one percent fear him because he is not going to be a giant help to them but rather to us, the everyday people who work for a living. He has many enemies in that elite group and it will be no surprise that they will pull out all the stops to make sure he’s not elected including resulting to fear tactics (geared to the naive) which will more than likely be their main focus in trying to take him down. But alas, he does have Jupiter there to save him. So he does have hidden forces who support him and luck on his side.

He will restore our good name in the world and put our economy back on track and with all the Virgo in his chart he will reform health care for the betterment of us in the middle class.

So make sure to vote!
