A friend of mine suggested that I do some research on Astrology and Famous People and I came up with some incredible information. What prompted this was the negativity that is sometimes associated with Astrology with really no founding in fact.

Here is some great information that is founded in fact, I was aware of some of it and then other things just amazed me.  I found it when I did a search of Famous People and Astrology and I have quoted directly from the reliable sources that I found.

1. "All of the U.S. Founding Fathers were Masons and Astrologers.  (Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the list goes on."

2. "All important events of the U.S. Government were timed to Astrology.  The country was founded in the sign of Cancer; Election Day is in Scorpio and Inauguration day used to be in Pisces until FDR (an Aquarian) changed it to Aquarius."

3. "Nancy Reagan used Astrology, after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, to determine when the best and worst times were for the president to do everything from signing bills to foreign travel.  The media made fun of Nancy Reagan at the time but, President Reagan was the first president since Jefferson elected in a year ending with "O" that was not killed in office."

4. "T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Waste Land is full of astrological references.  Not only that, the four sections are named after the astrological elements, Earth, Air, Water and Fire."

5. "The Three Wise Men were Astrologers.  Some believe that they heard that the Christ child would be born at the time of a conjunction of planets - two planets appearing in the same place in the sky at the same time - that was to signal the arrival of a new age.  The two planets involved in this conjunction were Jupiter and Saturn. Both planets were bright, but this wasn't something that the average eye could notice.  Even though they were trained Astrologers this took The Three Wise Men some time to find Jesus in Bethlehem."

6. "Before the advent of the pharmaceutical industry, astrology was a required course in medical school."

Here is a list of what just a few famous people have said about astrology:

Plato - Philosopher said: "Perhaps there is a pattern set in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself".

Albert Einstein - Physicist said: Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it".

Ralph Waldo Emerson - Poet said: "Astrology is astronomy brought down to earth and applied toward the affairs of man".

JP Morgan - First Billionaire said: "Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do."

Sir Isaac Newton - Physicist said: (Said in defense of astrology to skeptic Edmund Halley) I have studied the matter. You sir, have not."

Robert Heinlein - Best Selling Author said: “A touchstone to determine the actual worth of an "intellectual" find out how he feels about astrology."

Hippocrates - Father of Medicine said: "A physician without the knowledge of astrology has no right to call himself a physician."

DH Lawrence - Author said: "Who knows the power of the Saturn has over us, or Venus?  ...But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time."

Louis Pasteur - Scientist said: "The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements, in relation with the motions of the universe."

Pythagoras - Mathematician said: "The stars in the heavens sing a music; if only we had ears to hear."

Benjamin Franklin - A Founding Father of American said: "Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and the great."

Donald Reagan - Formerly Ronald Reagan's Chief of Staff said: "It's common knowledge that a large percentage of Wall Street brokers use astrology."

Famous Historical People Who Have Used Astrology As A Life Tool:

Ronald Reagan....U.S. President

Boris Yeltsin....Russian President

Indira Gandhi....India Prime Minister

Francois Mitterrand...French President

Margaret Thatcher....U.K. Minister

Carol Jung....Swiss founder of psychotherapy

All of the above were considered highly intelligent people. These famous people were also creative types who used whatever tools they could to get answers to questions they couldn't find elsewhere.

Turn Your Passion Into Profit… doesn't sound difficult, does it? So why do so many individuals struggle with it? ...the reason; they do not have a schedule.  

You come up with a great idea for a business - your passion! - You take the courses that you need to be qualified in your chosen field and you start your business. So, Why Does It Fail? Well, it is because taking your Passion and making it into Profit not only takes education it also takes commitment to a schedule. When you become your own boss you think that you can make your own hours, come and go as you please and play President. Your business is your Job and when you start looking at it that way, you realize that you need to show up every day on time and put your hours in as if you were going to a 9 to 5 job.

Here is my suggestion; sit down with a piece of paper and a pen, start your schedule from when you wake up in the morning and plan it from there, putting in times, etc.

It may look like this for example - my schedule:

1. 6:30 - Wake Up
   
2. 6:30 to 7:15 - Coffee and do some reading and check e-mails
   
3. 7:30 to 8:30 - Workout
   
4. 8:30 to 9:00 - Meditate
   
5. 9:00 to 9:30 Shower and get ready for work
   
6. 9:30 to 12:30-  In my office, seeing clients, answering emails and writing blogs
   
7. 12:30 to 1:30 - Lunch
   
8. 1:30 to 4:30-  In my office seeing clients, answering emails and writing blogs
   
9. Now this is where my schedule is flexible; if I have clients in the evening, then I see them or go to networking meetings, or spend time with my husband, my grandchildren and friends.
   

When you adhere to a schedule and actually work at your business, treating it like your Job, you WILL succeed. Being self-employed does not mean going shopping when you please, going for long lunches with friends and watching T.V. during the day. Unless it is business related, you have to say "NO" and leave your social time to the weekends or the evenings.  Turn Your Passion into Profit and you will feel like going to work each and every day with lightness in your heart and a burning desire to succeed because you will see results!

I was reading an article this morning about New Mom's experiencing a desire to get back in shape after the birth of a new baby and that Exercise and Meditation can reduce the chances of  depression.  It triggered an old feeling in me and I automatically went back to the way I felt over 40 years ago when I gave birth to my two girls, one in 1971 and the other in 1973.  At the time there were no groups to reach out to that were a support system for New Moms.  I actually am feeling quite emotional writing this blog and remembering how I felt...isolated, depressed and at times so lonely that I wanted to scream...I was a very young mother, 23 when I gave birth to my first daughter and 25 when I gave birth to my second daughter.

Meditation was literally a life saver for me; it allowed me to calm down when I was feeling sad, frustrated and lonely.  By going into that calm place and reconnecting with myself I started to feel at peace, loving and very connected to my babies. There were ups and downs and being a young mom was not an easy task, however, having this wonderful tool to keep me focused really saved my sanity. I meditated every day for sometimes 10 minutes and sometimes 20 minutes depending on the demands of the day...this was "my time"...babies napped and I meditated.

To this day I still meditate for 20 minutes per day and it allows me to re-connect with myself on a daily basis and have the energy I need to succeed in a healthy marriage, run a business, spend time with family and friends, be able to connect with my beautiful grandchildren and exercise daily with more energy than I could ever imagined having at the age of 65.

Treat yourself, learn how to Meditate and schedule it into your day even if it is only for a few minutes, I guarantee you will see a difference...

If you are pregnant or a new mother, I invite you to try my meditation coaching. It could make all the difference in your post-natal health.

She brought to light those things that I was just thinking about, and in our session I realized that they are my path and will become my reality.

I know that many people do not believe in Astrology and that is OK. I also know that many people are curious about Astrology and that is also OK. And, I also know that there are many people that believe Astrology is a wonderful tool to find out Where you Were in Life… Where you Currently Stand in your Life... and... Where you Can Go in Your Life... and that is also OK.  We are all unique as a properly calculated and interpreted Astrology Chart exhibits.

I have been an Astrologer for over 35 years and I do not run my life by Astrology, I have learned to use my astrology chart as one of the tools to use in order to be aware. Some of the things that I also use to be more aware are reading, gathering information and talking to people and asking questions. Another is Meditating and another is Astrology.  As I said it is a tool that can be used to learn more about oneself.  I also believe that we can never learn too much about ourselves and that knowledge is self-mastery.  I am the kind of person who wants to know the good, the bad and the sometimes the ugly about myself so that I can make the changes to be a better person. By learning more about my personality through the tool of Astrology I have been able to make the changes that I have wanted to make; to work on turning the negative aspects of me into positive aspects and making the positive aspects of me more positive.  And, I might add, I am still working on myself daily.

I am also the kind of person who likes to be prepared, so if I am aware that a certain energy, situation or circumstance will be entering my life in advance, I have the opportunity to take advantage of a positive circumstance or turn a potentially negative circumstance into a positive one simply by being aware.  Again, I do not run my life by the use of Astrology - I use it to plan, to strategize and to help me in my personal life and in business.

I would never try to convince anyone to believe in the positive aspects of Astrology just as I would never try to convince anyone to believe in something that made them uncomfortable.  

I felt as an Astrologer it was important for me to make this clear and to allow you to make up your own mind as to whether you believe it is a tool or not that would help you along your path of life.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Namaste,
