Surely you have felt the energy shifting within the last few hours, as the Black Moon moved toward its new phase in Taurus.

Ordinarily, a new moon brings an invigorating feeling; However, this particular moon is fraught with tension, as it creates the astrological aspect known as a Fixed T-Square. Those born with the Sun or Moon in the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius will feel the brunt of this aspect, a bit more intensely.

Also, pay attention to which house you may have any of these fixed signs, as you’ll no doubt feel the heat. It’s not “bad”, just “challenging”, as I always say.

To intensify matters, Jupiter and Uranus (in Pisces) are in opposition of Saturn, currently retrograde in Virgo. These 3 planets are creating a Mutable T-Square, with Venus in Gemini. No wonder the world and everyone in it feels like we’re on a rollercoaster.

Still, it’s a New Moon, so light a green or white candle, and meditate on what you’d like to achieve in this new lunar cycle. It’s a great time to plant things as well, as the Moon in Taurus is considered one of the most fruitful times to begin projects.

In this, my time of passing
I leave you, not in tears
But, with a heart of joy, amassing
Memories of years

How dear was life when living
How full the days that passed
God’s gift was in the giving
and my blesséd role was cast

He chose you all to be my friends
and loving family
Some times were sweet,
Some saddened ends
Still, all were gifts to me

Devoted mother, loving wife
A sister, friend and guide
A woman faced with challenge, rife
With faith, did i abide

I treasured every single day
I loved you all, each one
I worked at living in God’s way
The way great souls have done

I gave my all, best as i could
I aided those in need
And in my heart, i understood
the value of each deed

I loved without condition
I loved beyond all bound
Because it was my mission
to share the joy I’d found

I lived life fully, every day
God granted every prayer
Believe me, when i say
it was a privilege to share

My days of living life with you
Who hear my words right now
Oh, yes this angel in your view
Will keep a holy vow

To guide and keep you
in your ways
For now I live above
And as you live thru all your days
I’ll bless you with my love

Yes, there is rest and peace
Dear ones
In heaven, my new home
And after pain, there is release
After life’s work is done

Until that day, so far away
Remember I was here
Please keep me in your memory
As i will keep yours, dear

My earthly life now closes,
With all trials faced and won
Now, I live in yellow roses
and wide blue skies filled with sun

So everytime you look above
And see the sun shine thru
Please know I’m sending all my love
And shining down on you

(Written through the divine inspiration of Lorraine Powers Jones)

As I write this post, a dearly loved, lifelong friend is transforming herself into an angel. I feel this is the final physical goal of a well-lived life. My friend, Lorraine Powers Jones was one of my mother’s best friends. This post is for her, and I hope she will hear it read to her by her only son, Gary. I hope there are still a few grains of sand left in the hourglass …

Lorraine has always been what I considered to be the ideal woman. Elegant, tasteful, intelligent, friendly, and seriously fierce. She is a dutiful, loving mother, and a successful businesswoman, getting to the top of the ladder on her own terms.

My memories of her include so many wonderful times. My sister and I would play with her children Joni and Gary, who are still dear friends. I remember playing games on her front porch from dawn until dusk. One afternoon I was playing on the porch and banged my head on the iron-railing — it was Lorraine who came out and went with me and my mother to go to the doctor.

Everyone in the neighborhood would go to the McClain’s house to ride go-carts, and watch the illegal fireworks. I remember the endless “Girls’ Nights”, when Lorraine and all the other women of the neighborhood would come over and play Bridge all night, filling our house with laughter.

Lorraine had another great friend who lived one house over to the East — Shirley Brooks. The two of them were born under the Astrological sign of Virgo; and they used to giggle about secrets no one else knew. They were inseparable, and they always came over together through the front door, looking for my mother and her book of Dreams. It was a morning ritual, Lorraine, Shirley and my mother in the kitchen eating coffee cake and drinking coffee, laughing and gossiping about the details of their lives.

I remember Lorraine as the tall, graceful lady of the neighborhood. I always thought she should have been a model. I suppose she really is a model in her own way, and always has been. Lorraine certainly proved she’s a model of grace under pressure. She was always there for my mother, until her dying day; taking my mother who was terminally ill with cancer, to the hospital for emergencies in the middle of the night — bringing my mother food and medicine, and most of all, her loving and helpful way. Lorraine is a true original Southern Belle, in all its most positive meanings.

Oh, Lorraine … as I write these words, you are still here with us. Remember how much you are loved and cherished. And how all of us are at your side right now, at least in spirit. You are the final original Matriarch of our hometown neighborhood of Norwood. We are honored to have been a part of your life, and we’ve been so lucky to know you.

To me, you will always be the Last Goddess of Norwood. The beautiful, graceful Virgo with the strength to carve out a life for yourself, without leaving anyone behind. I am grateful as well that I was able to speak with you on Christmas, and that my father got to tell you how much he loves you.

I suppose, all I can do now is wait to hear that you’ve gotten your wings, and that you are free from any and all pain. I wish your transformation was easier, but I know the result will be one beautiful angel, that’s for sure. Please remember how much you are, and will always be loved, and how your leaving us will leave a void that will never be filled.

And please don’t be afraid … my mother Claire and Shirley are waiting for you, looking forward to seeing their best friend again. How can there ever be anything but laughter in heaven when you three get together? I love you Lorraine, thanks for sharing your gift of life with all of us. We’re sure going to miss you!

I will light a candle for you, and say prayers for your peaceful passage to the heavenly realm. Please watch over us, as you always have. And be glad that all of the neighborhood children have found each other again. God bless you, Lorraine.

Love,
Voxx, and the Family xoxo

Watch me tonight on Los Angeles station, KTLA as I channel the spirit of the late Michael Jackson, right after The Vampire Diaries.

Find out Michael’s fascinating answers to some very personal questions. It’s the real deal.

Thanks to local TV station, KTLA for contacting me for this very special segment. It’s interesting, because this is the second Seance I’ve done for Michael in the last 2 weeks — the last being for the BBC. I really think Michael’s spirit really wants people to know exactly what happened, and how his spirit feels about the events surrounding the mystery of his death. I hope the answers Michael gave me, will bring a sense of understanding to his untimely, tragic death. Let me know your thoughts.

These interviews were done free of charge, and with integrity towards Michael’s spirit, as well as his family.

What a strange couple of months it’s been — I’m sure you’re all mystified by the changes that have been occurring since the end of July, 2009.

The last series of Solar/Lunar eclipses have literally changed everything, for myself and for so many others of my readers. By now, the Summer of 2009 is becoming widely regarded as the “Summer of Death”, which, although rather morbid-sounding has quite literally been the case, especially in the world of celebrity.

Still, despite all the expected (and unexpected changes) we’ve all been subjected to, renewed energy is here to be enjoyed with the planetary entrance of Mars into the sign of Leo. Of course, this planetary placement will offer up some exciting (and passionate fireworks) for many of us (what with the Sun shortly entering the sign of Scorpio and all) Still, matters of the heart (which happens to be ruled by Leo), will be gearing up for new experiences. Boredom be gone!

The most intriguing aspect of this particular Mars placement is the fact that it will be there until April 2010! This is one of the longest placements of Mars in quite some time. So for those of you who have planets in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, life will definitely be a challenge, but a necessary one. I’m personally looking forward to a lot of positive energy that will bring us all the strength to deal with the changes that were thrust upon us this past Summer. In the meantime, feel free to book an appointment to see how this placement will affect your life!

As if you couldn’t tell by the overwhelming public emotional upheaval going on — we’re coming up against a powerful Lunar Eclipse, this coming Tuesday, July 7th, 2009.

What major event might we expect? How about the burial of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson — not to mention a host of other celebrities who have been passing away in droves lately.

As the ancient Greeks used to say, “the planets cast their shadows, before great events.” Not since the death of Rudolph Valentino, has an American celebrity been mourned by so many people around the world.

It was not widely known that Michael Jackson was born just slightly after the Full Moon in Pisces, 1958, and I find it hardly a coincidence that he will be buried slightly after the Full Moon in Capricorn, 2009. The Full Moon will be eclipsed, in the Earth Sign, Capricorn, exactly opposite his Mid-heaven (the 10th House, signifying Fame and Recognition). As Capricorn rules the idea of Fame, at the apex of the horoscope, it is a fitting time for such a burial.

Elvis Presley, “The King”, was a Capricorn, and died when the Sun was in the regal sign of Leo, August 16th — which just so happens to be the birthday of Madonna, the “Queen of Pop”. Are you starting to see the connection? Good, I thought so!

Astrological Eclipse Readings: Things being as they are, you might want to call and schedule an appointment with me to find out how this upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn is going to affect your life.

In the meantime, join my Magickal Forum, and keep in touch.

I’ve been wondering if anyone else has found it strange that Ryan O’Neal (and his daughter, Tatum) both have major connections to the passing of two legends — within hours of each other!  Of course, I’m speaking of Farrah Fawcett (Ryan’s life partner of 32 years), and Tatum O’Neal (who was immortalized in Jackson’s song, “She’s Out of My Life”). I don’t mean to suggest they played any negative roles in either instance, I just found it intriguing.  It’s also interesting to note that Farrah was in the position of being Tatum’s step-mother, of sorts — after all, Ryan and Farrah never legally married. But, still — how strange it must be for all of them now.

As an Astrologer, I’ve been delving into the Astrological factors of the deaths of both Michael Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett, and have already uncovered some very unusual aspects and similarities in their respective Astrology Charts. I’ll be posting this info up in the next couple of days.  Until then, keep Michael and Farrah in your prayers — as well as the O’Neals, who are most certainly going through an unprecedented mourning period.

Blessings,

Voxx

Farrah Fawcett died Thursday, June 25th, 2009.  Her impending death from cancer was expected, but still brought an outpouring of sadness at her passing. What came as a greater surprise to most of us, is the largely unexpected death of Michael Jackson, on the same day, no less!  (Although Astrologers, Psychics and those in the know, had expected a tragic ending for poor MJ).

That being said, I’ve thought about the irony of Ryan O’Neal’s part in Farrah’s life. As many people remember, Ryan played the role of “Ollie”, in the film “Love Story”, which was about a young man who loses his wife to cancer, shortly after their marriage. It was this idea that led me to create the image accompanying this post.

Although Farrah and Ryan never legally married one another, they had a long-lasting relationship, and one son together, the troubled Redmond.

Farrah had a checkered career, becoming more respected as an actress in the latter part of her career; However, her greatest fame came within the last three years of her life, as she battled a vicious form of cancer.  During her illness, Farrah documented her life on film, culminating in a fascinating, yet heartbreaking, testimony of her struggle in the face of death.

Again, there is irony in the fact that Farrah came to prominence in the role of an “Angel”, on the hit show, “Charlie’s Angels”, thus we have always known her as an angel.  Now, I have every reason to believe she has turned into a real one.  Thanks Farrah for your final role as a teacher, and guide — walking us through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, with grace and dignity. You will be missed.

LVX,

Voxx

I want’cha back Michael.  ~Voxx~

Today, Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 5:08 pm PDT, marks the exact time of the 57th Anniversary of Jack Parsons‘ tragic death.  Parsons, (born, Marvel Whiteside Parsons, and also known as John), was a brilliant scientist who was one of the main founders of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (affectionately known as “Jack Parsons Laboratories, by Parsons fans).

Jack was the inventor of solid rocket fuel, which was the single most important contribution to the Moon missions, for without Jack’s contribution, there never would have been a man on the moon (at least not within the time frame, it was achieved). For his contributions to the field of space exploration, Jack was given the honor of having not one, but two craters on the moon, named for him (albeit, both are on the dark side of the moon … amazingly appropriate.) Read about Parsons’ craters here.

Despite enough intelligence to have garnered him lasting fame for his contributions in the field of science and chemistry, it was Parsons’ secondary interest and practice of the Magick of Aleister Crowley, that has since overshadowed his more worldly legacy.

In 1939, at the young age of 26, Parsons was introduced, by Wilfrid T. Smith, to the magickal philosophy of Aleister Crowley, the head of the organization known as, the Ordo Templi Orientis.

Parsons life took a strange turn when he undertook a ritual he named, “The Babalon Working“, wherein he performed an intense Enochian Ritual, specifically designed to manifest an earthly incarnation of the Thelemic primal goddess, “Babalon.”

Much has been written about this extraordinary ritual, and its shocking, seemingly tragic outcome, in the form of two books, “Sex and Rockets“, and “Strange Angel“. (Purchase these books, via links listed below).

I have created several Astrological Charts regarding the highlights of Parsons’ fascinating life, which are available upon request, to serious Magicians, and those interested in the Jack’s magickal career.

In honor of Jack’s memory, there is a group on Facebook, dedicated to this amazingly talented man.

There is also a collector’s edition, Jack Parsons’ Memorial T-Shirt, available here.
