Tonight is a rare and wondrous sight, as Mars makes what is called, “Close Approach”. In Astrological terms, it makes for a tumultuous time on planet Earth. The last time Mars was this close to Earth was 2003, (which numerologically equals a “5” years, the number associated with Mars.)

Everywhere you look, you can see the day-by-day destruction of so many things around us. The industries of Health, Agriculture, and everything we hold dear, is seemingly crumbling around us. This creates a perfect storm of anger, which leads to the mob mentality that is rising all over the world.

Mars, as a Fire Planet, rules the Zodiacal Fire Sign of Aries, the God of War. You don’t really need a psychic to tell you how unpleasant things are for everyone right now.

You think Mercury Retrograde is bad? You must not know about Mars Retrograde! Right now, Mars is in “reverse” motion at 23º in Aries, his own sign. This just makes it more intense. Mars retro started on Wednesday, September 9th, and will stay retro until November 13th.

Mars Retrograde Scenarios:

—Anything made of steel will tend to malfunction, including materials for cars, rockets, and planes;
— Accidents involving deep cuts, or slashes (including more amputations);
— Accidents involving cars, trains, buses and planes;
— Bacterial infections of the brain (such as Naegleria fowleri);
— Blood disorders;
— Neurological disorders (after-effects of COVID-19);
— Head and facial injuries (Aries rules the face);
— Mountain-climbing injuries and fatalities (Aries the Ram, rules Mountains and Heights); and
— Wars;

Any important dates that come up around then? Like, maybe the United States Presidential Election? Hmm. Thought so. Not only that, Mercury will go retrograde on October 15th, 2020 — just to add a little gasoline to the fire.

Most Astrologers warn Aries that they will be most affected — not so. Anybody with planets in the other Cardinal signs of Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will be feeling it too. Especially those who have any planets in those signs within 6º before or after the “Direct Hit”. I will be posting these dates soon, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I would suggest buying stock in Aspirin, and Essential Oil manufacturers to help make it through these ever increasingly-intense times.

I’d strongly suggest scheduling a reading with me soon, as I’m currently offering an Apocalypse Special. Just request it by name.

Today’s Full Moon will happen in the sign of Sagittarius. Also, known as the “Strawberry Moon”, this full moon also happens to be an Eclipse. With the recent pandemic and activism (turning into riots), our emotions have grown intense, and raw.

The Sagittarius moon relates to 9th House issues, such as Spiritualism, Philanthropy, and Foreign Affairs. All over the world, peoples’ eyes are opening (after all, it is 2020). We are faced with the world as it is, and the world’s a huge mess at the moment. Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work, fixing it.

As Sagittarius is a Fire Sign, don’t be surprised to hear news of more fires and explosions. Sagittarius is all about freedom and travel as well. But, the planet Saturn is putting a stop to any fun for the moment. With the world at a virtual standstill, this is the time to find out how to use your life to make a difference.

The planets are always giving us challenges — they aren’t “good” or “bad”. We are getting one last chance to straighten out the terrible injustices that people have suffered for hundreds of years. It’s a process, and there’s no getting out of our responsibilities to grow as humans — supposedly, “sentient beings”.

So, never mind what you read about this lunation. Yes, there are going to be more bits of bad news, but we have to forge ahead. It is time to grow. That’s why they’re called, “growing pains”, not “growing pleasures.” It hurts. Everybody hurts. Now, it’s time to start healing.

Get a light blue, lavender candle (Jupiter loves blue). It can be a small tea candle. Anoint it with a few drops of Lavender Oil for calming, or Rose oil for picking up your spirits.

When lighting the candle, ask your spirit guide or angel to help you release your worries and tensions. Then, focus on your breathing as you gently focus on the flame.

This is best to do before sleep. Make sure you safely extinguish the candle when you are done.

Repeat the ritual for the next 14 days, until the next New Moon. And of course, feel free to contact me for a Clarity Session, if you need to. Text 323.782.0222 for scheduling.

Blessings of peace to you all.

In Memoriam: The Father of Surrealism.

Today, I’m celebrating the birth of my favorite poet, Isidore Lucien Ducasse, more famously known as, Le Comte de Lautréamont. During his life, he completed writing only one complete book, but oh what a book it was!

Entitled “Les Chants de Maldoror”, (The Song of Maldoror) is one of the most mind-boggling, verbal hallucination ever written. If you have never read “Maldoror” (as it is often referred to), I suggest buying a copy today, in his honor. (Just scroll down this page, and you’ll see a link to buy the book from “My Book Club” on the right-side column).

For lovers of great surrealist poetry, take a minute to read a sample of this great artist’s work.

You can also read my special page, dedicated to Le Comte de Lautréamont, complete with an assortment of valuable links.

Let me know your thoughts upon reading this truly important, and startlingly original poet’s work. I’m sure that once you read his story, (and his poetry), you will reserve a special place in your library for the late, great Isidore.

Wishing all my readers a wonderful New Lunar Year, of the Earth Pig.

The year of the Earth Pig presages great luck and prosperity for those born this year. It is also wonderful for industry and manufacturers. So, if you are an artist, it’s a great time to create and market your wares.

For easy reference, years of the Pig include: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019

May you all enjoy a very happy and prosperous year in the days to come. ~V~

Great Tidings to you all upon this wondrous Midsummer’s Eve … which, by now is Midsummer’s Day.

It’s the night when the Queen of the Faeries — Mab, opens the door of Magick, between our world and her own.

I have always lived a life full of visions, music and magick since childhood. I prayed to the Sun and Moon, and spoke to the ocean tides, in love with Nature. Magick was always real to me, and continues to be.

I learned of Queen Mab as a child, and have been paying homage to her for many years, receiving great blessings over time.

Mab loves flowers, candy, glass beads and all kinds of sweet treats and trinkets. There are traditions of offering her these items, including the burning of summer incense and blue and white candles in her honor.

At midnite on June 23rd, (tonite), I did my yearly ritual to Queen Mab, and wrote her quite a lengthy poem, which I could tell delighted her. (I will publish it soon.)

In Mab’s honor, and to tune into her mystical presence, I made a special Midsummer’s Eve Faery Queen Oil, a combination of Frankincense, Pine, Rosemary and other summery scents, careful to use a magickal number of drops for each. (Contact me for the recipe).

After consecrating my altar and all the items, I conjured forth the denizens of the Faery Realm; The Sylphs of the East, the Salamanders of the South, the Undines of the West, and the Gnomes of the North, offering them sweets and other delights.

I anointed my candles with the Faery oil, and poured out spring water into a silver bowl, filled with magickal stones. Of course, no offering to Mab would be complete without adding some delicate flowers, including a rose wreath. Then, I burned a scroll filled with written wishes inside my cauldron, and afterward scattered the ashes to the four winds.

As the incense wafted thru the warm nite air, I scryed into my magick mirror, placed within a silver bowl filled with the blessed spring water. What visions, I may not tell — but, all good Faery Scryers receive personal mystical messages

In my vision, Queen Mab rode toward me from an astral vortex, in her magnificent Faery carriage, (drawn by 4 white horses) and swooped up my offerings, laughing wildly — as she loves to do.

Queen Mab speaks to me clairaudiently with the most lovely voice, and tells me secrets regarding Nature. She always brings inspiration and joy.

Faery folk herald Mab’s arrival filling the air with music from other worlds, which is ethereal and haunting — unlike any other sound I’ve ever heard. They play their flower trumpets, singing her praises in their tiny, gleeful voices, as they lead her procession into our world.

Queen Mab, and her Faeries will celebrate with us for a day of joy and glee, enchanting us all with their presence, if we but take the time to listen. May you all hear the song. ~V~
