Astrology:
Carin Martin, Astrologer....................
Divine Lens
By Carin Martin, professional Astrologer, teacher, & lecturer. I can still recall my reactions when as a child I first saw that mystical circle that is the astrological chart. To me, it was a flat, one dimensional circle on a piece of paper. Inside of the circle were obscure, mysterious glyphs sitting motionless in the twelve little wedges of pie that make up the twelve houses of the zodiac. As I struggled to learn the meaning of the glyphs, the houses, the signs, the planets, the aspects, it was akin to a long, strenuous but exciting initiation into a secret society. No initiate to Skull and Bones or the Knights Templar could have been more excited than I was to learn all these ancient "secret codes". But as I've often told my students, it was not until the flat image of the chart became three dimensional for me that I knew I was finally "getting it." Come read, and learn from this brilliant Astrologer!

Donna Cunningham, Astrologer.........
The Sun Glyph and Its Power
Legendary Astrologer, and author, Donna Cunningham, MSW, presents a new column series addressing a variety of topics from her latest e-books. The glyph for the Sun is the most powerful of all astrological symbols and the richest in meaning. I taught astrology in a center for the treatment of alcoholism and once devoted an entire session to this symbol. We kept pushing deeper and deeper to see what lessons we could learn from its form and shape, and we finally reached such a profound level of understanding that several of the men were moved to tears. I only hope I can recapture some of the spirit of that session with you.

Basil Fearrington..............................
The Astrology of Presidential Inaugurations
& Continued Election Analysis
By Basil Fearrington, professional astrologer /musician/ teacher, and author of "The New Way To Learn Astrology. The Democratic campaign continues to not have a dull moment. This essay was written late in March through to early April and the Clinton/Obama contest has become as compelling as the cliffhanger of a great novel, movie or television show! Many, many astrologers have spent a lot of time making predictions regarding this election campaign and I am one of them. However, realistically, in the absence of Senator Obama’s horoscope, no astrologer can make a substantive prediction, although most of us, including me, have predicted a Clinton victory.

Dear Swami: Where the Swami answers your questions, and you will question his answersi
by Swami Beyondananda (Steve Bhaerman)
The Swami is at it again. Looking for a few good chuckles? You'll find these pearls to be absolutely priceless.
"Anyway, what I meant to say is, on Nonjudgment Day we won’t need lawyers because all our trials will be over. Enlightening will strike, and we will find ourselves innocent! Now of course, innocent people still have conflicts ... and here’s where you come in. And that is also where the Bible missed an important point. After “they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,” the part they left out is “and they shall press their lawyers into mediators.” It’s in the Akashic Record book; you could look it up. But who says you have to wait for then? You can open up franchised one-hour mediation centers in malls everywhere. You could call it Just Justice ... “justice in just under an hour.” There. Now I
have given you legal advice, so ... we’re even.".

Be Your Own Oracle.........................
Oh, Those Cards
by James Wanless, Ph.D
Creator of the best-selling and revolutionary Voyager Tarot Deck, a "modern classic" that has sold 250,000 editions since 1985, James Wanless joins The Meta Arts family with "Be Your Own Oracle"- a series of articles (inviting your letters with questions) showing how to use the ever-growing phenomenon of readings, oracles, and readers for self-navigation, empowerment and "fortune creation."
It is said, "the cards never lie." And I know why. They represent universal qualities that are true of all human beings all of the time. Tarot is a "spiritual psychology" in that every facedown card you choose was picked by you in trust from the mystery of the unknown, and each card is a symbolic mirror of yourself. Used this way, Tarot reminds you who you are and even offers advice for situations that problematic.

by Gigi Miner
Tarot Consultant, Author, Teacher, and creator of the "Ethyrial Tarot."© deck, Gigi Miner guides us upon a unique exploration into the world of Tarot, uncovering not only the deep secrets behind the cards, but also the inner discoveries of life, love, joy and sorrow, as well as our own great power and potential.
Do you know someone to whom everything seems to come easily? Do they annoy you? Many of us have our talents and abilities. When something is natural, it seems to be easier to learn it than if we are pursuing something that does not quite fit. Still, we can look at other people and wonder how it is that they seem to have no difficulties in pursing nearly anything that they wish. Our card this month is the Eight of Pentacles.

Chrysoprase: "The victory stone"
by Raven, of Raven Crystals
The ancients know Chrysoprase as the "victory stone" and modern lore know it as the gemstone of “fertility”, a translucent apple-green chalcedony often mistaken for Jade. Chrysoprase is rare in Europe and often misidentified, as early writers used the term "prase" loosely and modern gemologist distinguished this gemstone as "prase" meaning yellowish-green gemstones which displays a color with less customer appeal and seldom found for sale.

The Gift We Have in Our Animals
by Dr. Kathleen Carson, D.V.M.
I believe that animals are our fellow beings, traveling with us on our sojourn on this living planet, Earth. Some of these animals become members of our human families. They live with us, sharing our lives, with us both in times of triumph and joy as well as defeat and pain. In fact, in this time when families are split apart, and we often live hundreds or thousands of miles away from human family members, our companion animals are often the only close family members we have. “natural” equates with “harmless”. This is not always the case.

Avoid Stress, Become Nobody
by Lonny J. Brown, HHC
The Zen Rowboat There's a classic Zen teaching story about a monk who was rowing across a river, when another boat appeared headed straight at him. He hailed the errant craft to turn, but to no avail, as it rapidly approached on a collision course. With growing urgency, the monk shouted at the careless boater, with the same lack of results, and finally started angrily insulting the man.

Chickweed is a Star
by Susun Weed
Snowdrops and crocus flowers herald the spring. And if you look in between them, with luck, you'll see a bright green creeping plant low to the ground with little white starry flowers: chickweed, a good friend of mine. I say she's a star, because her botanical name - Stellaria media - means little stars. And because she really stars at helping us when we need to gently dissolve something or to cool off inflamed tissues. Chickweed not only effects physical health, she is a psychic healer too. She opens us up to cosmic energies and gives us the inner strength we need to handle those energies.

Today’s Subject: Making relationships work with opposite approaches and styles in life
Have you ever experienced pressure within yourself that comes from a self inflicted idea of having to do something within a certain time frame? I guess everybody has. We put a lot of to do’s on our daily list and race through the day just to get everything done and wonder in the evening what have we really achieved? If we allow ourselves to slow down one day the list gets even longer the next day. It feels like there is no way out and the struggle gets worse.

Kabbalah:
Kabbalah Revealed...............................
by Kabbalist Rav Michael Laitman, PhD.,
Pleasure and Pain
World leading Kabbalist, Rav Michael Laitman, PhD, is the author of 25 internationally selling books, in nine languages, on Kabbalah. He is the founder of the Bnei Baruch, an association of Kabbalists, worldwide, devoted to providing free and unlimited access to Kabbalistic texts, media, and study courses, in over twenty languages. A sought-after lecturer in academic, and learning circles in the US and Europe, Rav Laitman offers this exceptional monthly column, guiding you, step by step, in the study of the authentic, ancient, Kabbalah.
Pleasure and pain are the two forces through which our lives are managed. Our inherent Nature—the desire to enjoy—impels us to follow a predetermined behavioral formula: the desire to receive maximum pleasure for minimum effort. Hence, we are compelled to choose pleasure and flee from pain. In that, there is no difference between us and any other animal.
Psychology recognizes the possibility of changing every person’s priorities. We can be taught to perform different calculations of profitability. It is also possible to extol the future in the eyes of every person so that he or she will agree to experience present ordeals for future gain.
Come read, and learn more from Bnei Barruch's newly expanded site! Included on the Rav's page, are links to e-books, MP3's, and lots of wonderful, easy to follow, video discussions to further enrich your studies.

Karma: The Functioning of Cause and Effect, Part 1
by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron
By Buddhist Nun, Teacher, Author, and co-founder of the Sravasti Abbey. Karma means action, and refers to intentional physical, verbal, or mental actions. These actions leave imprints or seeds upon our mindstreams, and the imprints ripen into our experiences when the appropriate conditions come together. For example, with a kind heart we help someone. This action leaves an imprint on our mindstream, and when conditions are suitable, this imprint will ripen as our receiving help when we need it. Come learn, be inspired and grow!

Acts of God
by Alan Cohen
If you read the small print on contracts, no one is liable for “Acts of God.” “Acts of God” are disasters beyond human control, like storms, floods, lightning, and (some would argue) protracted visits from uninvited relatives. I find it fascinating that in such contracts God takes the rap for everything that goes wrong, and rarely receives credit for the good things that go right. Come read and learn.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
Healing Our Emotional/Relational Nature
The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was discovered in 1896 by the German academic, Dr. Carl Reinhardt, in Cairo. He found it on sale in an Egyptian relic antique shop. It has always been rumored that this gospel existed. But except for the four gospels approved by decree in the fourth century by the Emperor Constantine, other gospels pertaining to the life of Jesus were destroyed or conveniently lost.
