Astrology is an ancient, and complex science, which begins by understand the four elements of astrology.   WATER is about feelings, dreams and symbols. It is the element of meditation, stillness and the purity of love.  AIR is the element of the mind and language. It is the place where can expand or limit our ability to believe in or create possibilities that are as big as our imaginations.  EARTH is the element that provides, gives and serves.  Practical earth asks us to give with an attitude of reverence and gratitude. FIRE is the element that is honest, righteous and passionate about truth.  This element of change transmutes old form into ashes and creates the possibility for something new to emerge.

Whether or not we’re aware of it, we follow the elemental rhythms in our lives. We gestate for nine months in water. Spend the next 20 years studying, using air to become educated, then we use earth to develop a skill to provide financial security, and finally reach the fiery time of life full of adventure, wisdom and passion.

Some of us, don’t know how to deal with our sensitivity (water), other of us have minds that get all tangled up in stories that prevent us from make decisions and identify our purpose.  (air) There are those that are so bogged down with details, or on the other hand, those that are so ungrounded they feel frustrated and scattered. (earth) And last, shows up with us not having our passion ignited, or our sexuality open, or our joy flowing. (fire) The four elements are like the four wheels on your car, if one tire is down the whole car is off.

An Elemental Journey is the best way experience the four parts of you.  During this guided journey you explore your emotional nature (water), your mind (air), your practical world (earth), and your spiritual side (fire).  It opens a doorway for you see how the elements flow through your life.  Most often one of these elements is missing, or if not missing, needs to be updated and understood to enjoy full expression.

As an astrologer and psychotherapist, I have been in practice over 35 years and loved every minute of it. What a delightful way to spend my day, reminding you of what you have been assigned, and the timing of cycles you are going through, and to inform you on how to fall in love with your fate.  If you are interested to learn about who you are and unravel the mystery of you, come for a reading or an Elemental Journey and let me show you.   This is my purpose, what is yours?

I am so grateful for our session on Monday. Thank you for sharing your gift with me. Your words were wise, insightful and lovingly expressed. I can already feel my life changing for the better.

Dear Kippi,

Thank you for organizing the session and for allowing me to book it so far in advance.

Happy New Year and lots of joy to you both.

Love,
Jodie

Just wanted to write that I found our Tuesday session so insightful.  I have listened to your recording at least 4 or 5 times, and your words are starting to resonate with my body.  I understood my grand earth trine and how that worked but until the other day, I didn’t grasp how important Neptune was in my chart.  I knew that I had three planets in the 4th house but for some reason it didn’t click with me that that brought a lot of Cancerian energies into my personality.

Now that I have all of these insights on board, along with the weakness in fire, I am already feeling myself turning a corner.  I want to thank you immensely for the insights you have given me.  I look forward to calling in or flying out to Colorado in the future for one of your classes, especially as I go through that Pluto transit next year (and I guess my Saturn square/ moon opposition) and Uranus square at some point to my sun.

Thanks again for all the deep insights!

Your friend,

Joe

Are women slowly making their way into the roles of decision makers, and world leaders? When will it be as natural for a woman to be a mother, as it will be a national leader of a country?

Our children’s children will look back at our era, as we do the dinosaur age.  In many places women were not allowed to be prime minister or president? Men actually thought war was a solution to create peace?  The consumption of oil, gas and plastics were your gods?

In the future when women are great leaders; those old notions of warfare, and the abuse of resources will be dated and we will look like cave wo/men. The right use of power is emerging; and it will be because of the women, and all that they did, to birth the change.

Every Oprah and Ellen show, yoga class, spiritual training or gathering is by in large filled with women.  Countless women are articles like this one. Women are seeking wisdom, while most men are still busy providing.

Janet calls me for a session, she gains great insight; she then forces her husband to do the same. It happens all the time. ‘ She’ insists that ‘he’ needs to understand her and he listens. Women are driving this change.

For the first time in history we have 7 billion people.  We live in a world filled with technology, new energy systems, new medical discoveries to name a few. Women are essential in these discoveries. Babies created in a test tube, digital encyclopedias shaped like phones in our pockets, computers running our world. America had it s first ever-black president in a white house.  Countless women are taking responsibility for the more subtle changes.  Look at any yoga class.

Yoga used to be for men only; it s almost all women. Parenting was just for women.  Men are now playing a serious role as a father, in a brand new way, encouraged by their wives. Men used to be the primary breadwinners, now women can and do carry the weight of responsibility. The old school, male hierarchy is being forced to change.

The king, the president, the husband use to demand that women stay home; where ‘he’ was once the know it all, always having the last word, now women constantly challenge male authority. It used to be that men didn’t trust women to make decisions, the tables have turned; for the first time in history—not only do women not trust male power but they are demanding their rights.

The pendulum has swung. These two extremes, the male paradigm and its old ways, and the new feminine power’s emergence, are at odds.  It might seem we are working for two different teams. Its not true.

Women do not have, nor do they really want the financial upper hand without the  wisdom of men and their support. Women are not in the primary leadership roles in government, and men are not handing the power off to women–yet. Time is on our side.

I was sitting next to my friend Sting one day and I asked him? If you could change one thing about the world what would it be? And he answered: “I would let only women take the leadership all around the world for awhile and see how the world would change.” To do so men would have to trust us.

The modern day issues that surround us, scare us, beg us to work together, to play our part in life as a team sport.  We must partner. He says, “How can I provide?” And she asks: “What can I do to make a difference?”

We are not good at working together. One, what man wants to let go of well established power? And two, women have been destroyed because of her power, based on time immemorial: the dangers of being a woman who spoke up are too many to record.  We have been burnt, banished and called names for giving our point of view.

There was a time that women were trusted and heard. The wise North American Indians consulted the grandmothers as a council. The Indians would consider the next 7 generations when making decisions. So did the Chinese. These cultures were earth based, honored time and focused on the big picture.  We need to do the same; to come back to basics, retrieving such wisdom to find the balance of the male and female.

Each of you, says the astrologer, carries a soulful promise and role as an agent of evolution—no matter your gender. The greatest contribution you can make is for you to find your power and use it.

If you are a quiet person, allow your silence. (water)  If you are a thinker and chatty be sure to use your words with meaning. (air) If you are a controller who wants everything to be just so, then be sure your heart is open and you are enjoying the work without complaining. (earth)  And if you are an energy machine, a loud one, be sure you are inspiring us to wake up and using your honesty to open our hearts and fill us with truth. (fire)

Change is in motion that is why you are reading this right now.  You need to know: how powerful we each are as our world evolves. Consider these futuristic questions: what do I bring as a soul, and how do I best assist in our radically changing times while including both men and women?

Carl Jung said: “In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.”
Really? That’s a bit confusing. Welcome to the sign Pisces and the planet Neptune– two influences in astrology that go hand and hand and both illicit confusion.

For the first time in 165 years the planet Neptune has returned to it s home base, it s natural placement, in the constellation of Pisces. Every planet has a position that is most favorable to it’s expression. The planet Neptune loves to rest in the constellation of Pisces… this occurred beginning Feb 2012, lasting until 2026. What does it mean?

Let s talk about Pisces. They are allergic to the mundane reality that the rest of us remain devoted to.  Pisces are drawn to the magical, mystical, dream states that assists them to slip out of the old, stupid, mundane boring world, into the creative, quiet, magical one. They believe in woo-woo, angels, the occult, the council from the other side, dead people speaking, meditation, and honestly, though it sounds bad, they love to get lost, perhaps in alcohol or drugs. They like to float out of their bodies, lose themselves and seek out the mother ship.

As youthful beings many Pisces seek momentary escape routes. How do I get out of the pain of this human experience, even for just awhile.  Pisces are very sensitive to the emotional realm of fear and sadness.  Pisces may find themselves partying to the other side.  Pisces may drink and get high – throwing their logic to the wind and fly into the alter state that promises relief and entertainment. High, and off planet in some imaginary world, the insights gained have no use back at the ranch; they can hardly remember anything by the morning.

Einstein (a Pisces) said, “God is not playing with dice.”  He, an evolved mind, sourced a heightened state while he was straight.  Pisces thrive on: cosmos, chaos, creativity, a nicely decorated home, altered states and rehab.

So how do we access orderly chaos while maintaining a grasp on reality? Drugs might be the cheap answer.   Studying metaphysics, the occult, deep science, practicing astrology is far more expensive, it requires years of study.   I, a long time student of astrology absolutely know there is a creative intelligence directing the stars.   God is not playing with dice.  I see profound magic everyday; a divine order emerges as I look at your chart.  It is there without fail; even your valleys and hells, especially your valleys and hells show up as well designed ways to grow.  Yes, Einstein was right, there is a design.

For the card-holding members of Neptune’s country club, Piscesland, who live in the land of magic. We know that we are not just egos asleep, snoring and bumping into drama. We are souls longing to be awakened—you need assistance; talk to a seer who can speak the language of fate, dreams, sensing’s, and planetary positions. The handicap of Pisces is they are loners and all too often know it alls.

Ok, Ill confess: I belong to Neptune’s country club. From the padded coach, in the back room, my colleagues and I foresee beginnings and endings, subtle waves of disharmony that eventually lead couples to crisis, or countries to fall apart, and we interpret the strange language of dreams and symbols. The worlds you cannot see or understand. Pisces notice things that others do not and they intuit the implications sometimes right and sometimes with great confusion.

A client came to see me and told me of a dream she had, it was about this man she was dating. In the dream he was about to tee off, but for the life of him he couldn’t find his golf balls anywhere. She woke up and couldn’t understand the dream. So clear to me, I said, “Your new guy has no balls.”   She laughed and said, “Oh, you are so right, I couldn’t put words to that but now I get it.”

These are perks of being a Neptunian: hunches, dissatisfaction with the ordinary, great taste buds and only few people you want to hang out with because you can see through the illusion—except for your own. They are secret keepers and dare I say it, and bust their cover:  they lie to themselves.

It s not an easy job being in this club of Pisces land; seers of old were under paid, and often fearful for their lives. No one wanted to tell the King it was a time of feast of famine, because when you were right, they thought you ‘crazy’, and when you were wrong they thought you ‘crazy’.

2012, Neptune has returned to it s favorite spot—Pisces for a 14 year stay. When Neptune was found they discovered cameras. Watch a movie and see how fantasy and reality merge. We believe Dorothy and Toto are real. Movies real? Where no one ever goes the bathroom, not a stain on anyone’s clothes, never a fart, or waiting in traffic, or any dishes to put away.

Pisces loves their dream land, pillows, high count sheets, and pretending. They have a hard time telling the difference between the dream and reality.

Truthfully there is no one, logical, agreed upon hard reality? Even if Church and religion and schools have tried to impose such a forced reality—it didn’t work. It never will.

Pisces and Neptune rules unconditional love, represented as the Christ energy. Christ’s apostles’ were supposedly all fishermen; the symbol of Christianity is a fish.  The Piscean age teaching us to turn the other cheek and just love.  This is why Pisces adore animals, dogs and cats are a profound example of unconditional love; always happy to see you, without condition, from morning till night.

In the next 14 years Neptune is sitting in it’s favorite arm chair, right there in the constellation Pisces asking us to practice unconditional love? Can you bless the foreigners’ in your house, or down the street?  Could you be, like you dog, always so happy to see ol whattheirname?  It is so hard.

This is one of the greatest handicaps of Pisces they know what they like and when we don’t live up to their standards they escape, judge us and want to leave—even while right in front of you, they evaporate into a mist.

“On my planet,” what a Pisces might say, “which is far away from here, all of your realities are welcomed, we know love– as long as you obey the one law: kindness. On my planet, we don’t have to have dinner together; we don’t even have to talk to each other.” Another Pisces dream: silence. “We just need to be kind no matter what; to leave enough space to allow the other person to thrive on their own terms, without hurting or judging.”

Ok, so here you have a running start: Neptune in Pisces. Translation: 4 letters :  L O V E.  Love each other from a distance and know how to unconditionally love those that you can’t get rid of.

Maybe you know that drunk person who walks up to you and says, “I love you man.” Sloppily hugging you, and then paying for another round.  This is the energy of Neptune, lets just leave out the drug abuse and substance – and intoxicate.  What would this life be like if were high, drunk and open when we were straight, and we knew how to love unconditionally with kindness. I think that s why Christ drank so much wine; he was trying to get us to understand love.

Jung said it: In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.  Neptunians unite—at last, this is our time when magic will rule this planet, and we shall feel what Christ embodied:  to simply love, freely and unconditionally starting now.
