If you've ever had a chance to work with me during the Elemental Cleanse or during Meditation Yogi Style, then you know that I am fascinated with astrology.  I've been studying for the past eight years.  I'm a total novice, so please don't ask me to read your chart, but I can give you some basics and tools to begin a journey of self-study.  I love astrology because it is a means by which to look at my personality and preferences and ask the question, "Who am I?"

If you ever want an actual reading, I always recommend my friend, Laurie Baum.  I recommend her to my students for a multitude of reasons.  First, she is a Yogini.  She gets it.  She's very experienced.  She's a disciple of Yogananda...that means she will facilitate healing through you doing your work.  Laurie releases every year her annual predictions.  They are good.  Her 2013 predictions are below as well as how to get ahold of her for an appointment.  Shanti,  Pamela

2013 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
by LAURIE BAUM

I considered waiting until after December 21, 2012 (Winter Solstice), to write the 2013 astrological forecast— to make sure time hadn’t “ended” as foretold by the Mayan calendar. But in the spirit of optimism, I would like to share my usual new year forecast with you prior to the potential “end of time,” given that astrological indicators point toward a new year of positive growth in consciousness and an end of time as we have known it only. The Mayans actually predicted that a wave of spiritual energy would enter the magnetic field of the Earth on December 21, 2012. This wave of higher consciousness will benefit those who are ready to receive, even though it potentially will be resisted by those who are not ready to receive.

SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT—SUMMER 2013—GRAND TRINE IN WATER SIGNS OF CANCER, SCORPIO AND PISCES
Indeed, a spiritual awakening is strongly indicated by astrological alignments in 2013, including a mid-summer celestial line-up of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune in the flowing water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Water signs revolve around feelings, which often serve as a bridge between our material aspirations and our spiritual yearnings—the sign of Cancer arouses spiritual feelings through home and family, Scorpio stirs spiritual connection through deep psychological exploration, and Pisces awakens our desire to transcend and be reunited with the Divine. Jupiter, which is oriented toward philosophy and spiritual teachings, brings us luck and expansion. Saturn, which is geared toward hard work, discipline, and the working out of karma, teaches important spiritual lessons. And Neptune mediates the energy of spiritual transcendence—although with Neptune, if higher energies are not channeled through spiritual avenues, may lead to escapism or self-deception. Neptune also blurs the boundaries between people, established structures, and ideas, and facilitates connections between people across the planet, currently via social media and the internet.

Along with the spiritual opening, ample opportunities to harness the power of water will be generated under the influence of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune in water signs. The 3 planets will form a “grand trine” between June 11 and July 19. A grand trine is a triangular formation in the heavens that leads to ease and stability between the energies involved, in this case, between spirituality and philosophy (Jupiter), self-discipline (Saturn), and the oceanic feeling that connects you to your soul (Neptune).

FINGER OF GOD—SPRING EQUINOX 2013
Another potent planetary alignment begins to form in the heavens near the Spring Equinox of 2013 with Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio, and Pluto (subterranean energies of the earth and the human psyche) in Capricorn, to create a “Finger of God” between March 23 and March 29. This line-up portends a confrontation with reality where expectations have been over-inflated. The Finger of God also will bring latent disharmony to the surface, as it raises issues that have been ignored. Consequences of ignoring signs of imbalance could manifest as illness in the body, illness in the financial system, or illness in the ecology of the planet as a whole. The Finger of God applies equally to physical, mental-emotional and financial health. The Finger of God will expose financial scams and will rattle the financial markets. Take precautions with your physical health and finances under this planetary influence. The Finger of God also will have a hand in exposing government corruption due to an alignment between Saturn in Scorpio and Uranus in Aries in April and October 2013; it is not a good time to cover up scandals. With the abundant spiritual energies available during the year, all physical losses will be transmuted into spiritual lessons and gains. You will not feel you have lost out by the time the year is over.

ECLIPSES
A series of eclipses in late April and May, and again in mid-October to early-November, will strongly impact Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius (see eclipse chart below for dates). The eclipses also will cause weather disturbances that will affect the movement of water around the planet—through an over-abundance or shortage of this precious resource. Other liquid-like substances, such as oil, natural gas, and even the blood in our bodies, will be affected by the eclipses. The human body is composed of nearly 75% water. Experiments show that the water molecule changes in response to thoughts and feelings, thus profoundly affecting our physical bodies and the movement of water across the planet.

POWER OF THOUGHTS
The spring and fall seasons will demonstrate to us the power of our positive thoughts of love, kindness, charity, honesty, and compassion, and our negative thoughts of greed, duplicity, neglect, anger, or obsessive-compulsive or self-centered thinking. We will experience these consequences in our bodies through illness, and in the natural world—through flooding or droughts, earthquakes or mudslides, and high winds or tornadoes. People also will be carried away by impassioned thoughts and feelings if they do not remember to stay spiritually in balance. According to Paramahansa Yogananda, spiritual teacher from India, The sudden cataclysms that occur in nature, creating havoc and mass injury, are not “acts of God.” Such disasters result from the thoughts and actions of man. Wherever the world’s vibratory balance of good and evil is disturbed by an accumulation of harmful vibrations, the result of man’s wrong thinking and wrong doing, you will see devastation …

DAMAGE OF DRILLING BENEATH EARTH’S SURFACE
Expect more news about the dangers of drilling under the surface of Mother Earth for oil or natural gas as well. Both viscous substances are cushions for seismic activity. As these buffers are removed from the earth, the planet as a whole becomes more susceptible to seismic activity, with greater jarring between the plates occurring due to lack of protection from natural gas, oil, and water. The greatest movement will occur in late April, May, late October and November. Take precautions with travel plans during these periods.

EXPRESSIONS OF INDIVIDUALISM
A continuing square alignment of individualistic Uranus in Aries and turbulent Pluto in Capricorn will occur on May 20 and November 1. This planetary alignment will have occurred an unusual 7 times between 2012 and 2015 (June 2012, September 2012, May 2013, Nov 2013, April 2014, Dec 2014, and March 2015). A similar planetary alignment last occurred 3 times in the mid-1960s, and occurred 5 times from 1930 to 1935. Under its influence, the consequences of past actions—financial, economic, governmental, environmental, physical or emotional—will demand they be dealt with through innovative, creative—and even revolutionary—solutions. The scope of the changes are bound to be far-reaching under Uranus and Pluto because both planetary energies bring to the surface that which has been buried or hidden. Again, this planetary transit will occur 7 times between 2012 and 2015, meaning that the changes will be deep, lasting, revolutionary, and seminal for our time. This does not mean that times will be bad—just that the times we are living through, in case you haven’t noticed, will be active. You may imagine that you are waking up every day to a new sci-fi thriller, not quite knowing what to expect, but sure to witness something you have not experienced before.

SHIFT OF THE MAGNETIC POLES
Additionally, in 2013, the magnetic poles of the earth will continue to shift toward reversal, keeping us in phase with the magnetic poles of the Sun, our central star, with which our planet resonates due to our inclusion in the “heliosphere.” The Sun’s magnetic poles already have reversed, according to the NASA website. The magnetic poles of the Earth are expected to follow suit. According to NASA, the last time the Earth experienced a magnetic pole reversal was approximately 740,000 years ago. (http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast15feb_1/) Scientists have confirmed that the Earth’s magnetic north pole is moving at an accelerating speed from northern Canada toward Russia.

The sometimes-violent shifting winds from the movement of the polar axis were partially behind the confluence of three storms that caused Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012, the 82nd anniversary of the stock market crash of October 29, 1929. What’s more, Hurricane Sandy also occurred just after the Full Moon, which coincides with higher tides. Due to the polar shift, you will feel alternating cold and warm winds as the poles move and then stabilize. I say that the polar shift was only partially responsible for Hurricane Sandy because negative thoughts of greed and fear, and lack of connection with the Source, were also behind both events on October 29, in 1929 and 2012. Astronomically, this date also corresponds with a volatile sector of the sky called the Via Combusta.

GOVERNMENTAL CHALLENGES
Finally, astrologically speaking, karmic Saturn in Scorpio is in “mutual reception” with Pluto, god of the underworld, in Capricorn, meaning that the two planets will support and strengthen each other. This planetary pairing may provide a few challenges in 2013, especially where government intervention is involved. Governmental bodies will be either overly assertive—or underly effective in 2013. But please bear in mind that the greatest growth can come from the greatest trials—and passing the spiritual tests posed by Saturn (both for individuals and groups of people) ultimately will make all of us stronger.

SOLUTIONS THROUGH PRAYER
So remember, the distance between a problem and the solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. Please don’t forget the power of prayer, affirmations, contemplation, and meditation.
Perhaps it’s a symbol, but as I write this newsletter, a series of large black crows have gathered outside my window, cawing loudly, as if to remind me to stay alert to what lies ahead and to remind others of the same. Crows are messengers with their loud cawing. Native Americans considered them omens of change. A bee just flew by as well. Bees are pollinators, spreading good through their busy activities. Perhaps both creatures are alerting us of the need for all of us to spread the message of positive, peaceful change.

HEALING POLARITIES
I quoted Charles Dickens in the 2012 forecast. In 1859, on the cusp of the American Civil War, Dickens wrote in A Tale of Two Cities that it was the best of times and the worst of times. With a similar polarity between red states and blue states, the nation—and the world—stand at a crossroads. Today, we are caught between different philosophies of government as well as between spiritual and material paths. Arguably, we have reached a peak of material abundance in some parts of the world, and it is time for a re-balancing. Perhaps, as an antidote, we need spiritual nourishment, which is exactly what 2013 will bring.

The year of 2013 will be a year to discover what truly nourishes you. And for many people, a spiritual connection is a source of nourishment waiting to be discovered. May you be one of those people who experiences spiritual enlightenment in 2013. Please don’t worry about the economy. There are enough material goods and money for everyone. The problem is in the distribution rather than in the lack of goods and money, as was the case in the 1930s. A quote from Paramahansa Yogananda about bringing prosperity into our lives: If mankind as a whole behaved unselfishly, the power of [cause and effect] would distribute prosperity equally to all men, without exception.
Whatever you may think you may have lost in a material way will not be a loss to your soul. You have much to gain as you turn to the Spirit that lives inside you in 2013, as you breathe, meditate, and listen to your internal rhythm—the rhythm of your breath and your body. Ultimately, as you listen to your inner rhythms, you will hear the rhythm of your soul.

TEN SUGGESTIONS FOR RAISING YOUR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

I received such an overwhelming response to last year’s list of ten suggestions that I am repeating them here for your convenience. They can help you stay aligned with your soul and Spirit in 2013 and beyond:

1) Focus on your heart. The energy of your heart is 5,000 times more powerful than that of your other organs, including your brain. A strong awareness of your heart, of giving, of charity, of compassion, of empathy, will raise your magnetic resonance and guide you to the right people and places to be safe in 2012 and beyond.
2) Meditate. Focus on your spiritual eye in the center of your forehead, become aware of your breathing, inwardly chant “Om.” This activity will align you with your soul and Spirit and raise your personal magnetic resonance so all of your needs are fulfilled.
3) Think positive thoughts. Positive thinking raises your magnetic resonance and attracts you to the positive outcome you give energy to.
4) Visualize what you want to create—and you will electromagnetically attract the object of your visualization.
5) Pray. Your prayers for yourself and others raise your magnetic resonance and increase the magnetic field of the person you are praying for—and the planet as a whole.
6) Affirm. Affirm in your mind repeatedly throughout the day the positive reality you envision for yourself and others.
7) Give as much as you can. Charity opens the way for more abundance to come to you.
8) Practice gratitude. Gratitude opens the way for more of the quality you are thankful for to come to you.
9) Raise your magnetic resonance through physical methods—get plenty of sunshine, clean water, fresh fruits and vegetables, and feel the beneficial effects of negative ions (positive energy) from moving water, rivers, oceans, waterfalls or even rain—God’s way of cleaning the earth to bring positive energy.
10) Simplify. Lower your expectations, especially the unrealistic ones. Focus on what is important. Let go of the rest.
Know that everything will be okay. No matter what happens, nothing will happen that you can’t handle, and nothing that isn’t supposed to come into your life can come if you live in alignment with your soul and Spirit.

Anything with a birthdate has a chart

Many people don't realize this, but anything that has a birthdate has an astrological chart. Companies, countries and pets are included. In fact, there is an entire branch of astrology dedicated to finance. If you are planning to start a business, it is a wonderful ideal to pick your incorporation date with intent to set the "personality" of your establishment. Below is Elemental OM's chart. If you have spent time in the studio, I think you will find it quite cute.

The Cosmo Natal Report for Elemental OM Date of incorporation: July 25, 2007 Time of incorporation: 9:11:21 PM Place of incorporation: Cincinnati, Ohio Chapter 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others Aquarius Rising: Forward-looking and progressive, Elemental OM is a Company that supports change, innovation, and human advancement.

Elemental OM is involved and active in groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements. Elemental OM is a friendly company and expresses good will towards others. Elemental OM has many friends and these friendships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Elemental OM is seen by others as a good friend and comrade…….. objective and fair. Chapter 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation Sun in Leo: Proud and intensely individual, Elemental OM really wants to stand out, to be the very best, and to be recognized and appreciated for its unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to Elemental OM. Elemental OM is proud to put its stamp on everything it does. Elemental OM likes to shine, express itself creatively, and be the one in charge. Elemental OM has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality, and enthusiasm. Elemental OM has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant. For Elemental OM, it is true that "all the world's a stage". Elemental OM wants to stand out, and loves to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience. Elemental OM thrives on feedback and needs someone to believe in it and its dreams. Elemental OM loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make people feel special. Elemental OM understands the magic of “love”. Elemental OM strengths are its zest and love of life, its creative power, and its warm and generous nature. Sun in 6th house: The energies of the Company are directed to perfecting techniques, skills, and abilities in work. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic to this process. The urge to bring about a state of wholeness or optimal functioning is a strong motivation of the Company and Elemental OM is a perfectionist! Chapter 3: Mental Interests and Abilities Mercury in Cancer: Elemental OM is highly interested in inner, subjective, and personal issues, and the Company is founded more in feelings, intuition, and experiences rather than reason or logic. Intellectual abilities and accomplishments without heart or soul mean little to the Company. The Company is empathic and an excellent counselor, for Elemental OM is a sensitive listener and deeply interested in a person's feelings and inner life. In addition to psychology, Elemental OM is drawn to education, art, poetry, music, or mythology. Mercury in 6th house: Elemental OM is interested in organizing, classifying, and bring order to the environment. The Company is interested in the refinement of technical skills and abilities and is a stickler for details. Teaching and communication is highly important to the Company. Mercury Trine Uranus: Independent and free-thinking, Elemental OM dislike being told what to do and how to do it, and it especially does not like being told how to think, for it insists on discovering its own truth. Elemental OM works well in a rather unstructured environment that allows quick decisions and responses to the needs of the moment, rather than following a routine, standardized way of doing things. The Company thrives in a fast-paced atmosphere, which is exciting and stimulating. The Company functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion and sudden insights and flashes of inspiration often come to the Company "out of the blue". The Company has an aptitude for science and new technologies are of especial interest. Elemental OM has a penchant for astrology or other esoteric sciences. Chapter 4: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance Moon in Sagittarius: Open and generous, Elemental OM enjoys a wide circle of friends and acquaintances and thrives on sociability and fellowship. The Company is adventurous, playful, freedom-loving, and always ready for a good time. Obstacles or difficulties do not keep this Company down, for no matter how bleak the past or present, there is an expectation for a brighter future. The Company does not like to see other people’s pain and often try to "cheer up" or offer philosophical advice to those who are hurting. Friendship means a great deal to the Company, perhaps even more than love or romance. Elemental OM needs a great deal of emotional freedom and mobility. Moon in 10th house: Elemental OM works well with the public and has an instinct for what the public wants and will respond to. Having a "nest" is not especially important to the Company, and it may invest more of its emotional energy into its career or public life than in its private life. Providing for and caring for others in a professional capacity is very likely. Moon Conjunct Jupiter: Elemental OM is tolerant and forgiving, always ready to overlook mistakes and give others a second chance. The Company expects the best from people and draws it out of them. Elemental OM enjoys making others comfortable and happy. Because of its emotional generosity, its life is rich with friends, and often financial blessings as well. Moon Square Uranus: Elemental OM craves excitement, change, and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous, and enthusiastic about anything new, Elemental OM may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. Venus in Virgo: Elemental OM is quietly devoted and faithful to its loved ones, and often become a kind of servant. Elemental OMis more comfortable showing love for someone by doing something for them, making something for them, or simply being there for them - rather than telling them so in a romantic, soul-stirring sort of way. Elemental OM can be timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. It also underestimate its attractiveness and lovability and doubts its own worthiness to receive love and appreciation. Venus in 7th house: Elemental OM is a very personable, affectionate, loving friend and will always have many people in its life who love and cherish it. The Company prefers being with others rather than on its own, and feels very incomplete without people to share love with. Elemental OM is a peacemaker, the one who adapts, harmonizes, and makes concessions for the sake of relationships. Elemental OM has charm and agreeableness making it very popular. Chapter 5: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals Mars in Taurus: Once the Company has set its on a goal, its dedication, determination, and commitment to it are extraordinary. The Company pursues its ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Elemental OM labors patiently and steadfastly until it achieves its goals - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. The Company is reliable, consistent, and productive, and will often shoulder more of the workload than others, usually without complain. You prefer a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to your success because once you get started in a certain direction, is easy for you to follow it through to its completion. Getting started is more difficult. You have a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for you to overcome before you get going. Once you get a momentum going, your energy level is strong and steady. The Company is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievement. A strong need exists for some tangible product or contribution to show for its efforts, and the Company cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what the Company does. Stamina and persistence are great strengths but can also work against the Company in that Elemental OM can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Be careful not to “play it safe” all the time. Mars in 3rd house: The Company communites in a quick witted way and loves a good debate. Elemental OM can be quite forthright and must be careful to be diplomatic in communications. The Company can be quite persuasive, but should use a “soft-sell” approach. The Company thrives on challenging mental work. Mars Square Saturn: Elemental OM is a company that works hard and patiently to achieve goals and objectives, persevering and continuing on in spite of difficulties and discouragement. Concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, the Company can accomplish much. Mars Square Neptune: Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to the Company and Elemental OM must have something that stirs its imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate. The Company has a strong urge to act live its dream, and it will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which it can express itself imaginatively are excellent for the Company. Work that serves only the Company’s interests does not satisfy Elemental OM. The Company should find a charitable purpose. Mars Sextile Uranus: Elemental OM is dynamic, decisive, and somewhat impulsive. The Company responds quickly and spontaneously to challenges, and enjoys vigorous physical activities that require fast reflexes and a good sense of rhythm and timing. The Company has an abundance of energy and vitality, and a restless desire to see progress and change – Elemental OM hates stagnation. The Company is individualistic and makes a good leader, spearheading new projects and inspiring others to act. Chapter 6: Other Influences Jupiter in Sagittarius: The Company’s strength lies in its ability to see the whole, rather than only the parts which compose it. It have a deep need to explore the world and to develop its own philosophy of life and sense of personal meaning. The Company vacillates between being open-minded and tolerant of differing views, and being dogmatic or overly zealous about its own viewpoint. Jupiter in 10th house: Elemental OM contribution to the world at large is likely to touch many people's lives in a very positive, helpful way. The Company aims high and has an innate confidence and trust both in its own abilities and in life in general, which enables it to go far. Elemental OM wants to do something BIG, and it attracts the support it needs to do so, for the Company’s aims are not solely for its own corporate benefit. Elemental OM wants to give something back to the world, or to improve others' lives. Saturn in Leo: Elemental OM has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing yourself freely, openly, and unself-consciously is not easy for the Company. It tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of "performance" is an important task. Saturn in 7th house: The Company takes its commitments to others very seriously. Its strong sense of responsibility to other people makes it a trustworthy and dedicated partner. Saturn Opposition Neptune: A conflict between the Company’s spiritual needs and ideals versus material desires or limitations of the "real world" will be a challenge. It may be hard for the Company to sort out its true values, especially when it is enmeshed in the demands of mundane life. Times of retreat, isolation, meditation and prayer, and voluntary simplicity can be helpful to the Company in this regard. Finding inner strength through spirituality and attunement to a higher source is ultimately the answer. Saturn Trine Pluto: Elemental OM dedicates itself wholeheartedly to a cause, sacrifices much, and eliminates all superfluous activities and interests. Others find Elemental OM approach too severe and are unwilling to go along with it in the difficult circumstances that it is willing to tolerate. The Company’s determination and capacity for self-denial often help it get through the rough spots to the goals it is are striving for. Uranus in 1st house: Elemental OM is unconventional and innovative, and is perceived as a rebel, reformer, or highly unusual in manners, appearance, or attitudes. The Company enjoys being unpredictable, and does not conform to the standards that other people and companies have set. Above all, the Company is individualistic, does what is pleases regardless of customs and norms.
