Dear Consciousness Seekers,

What a difficult and sad time for the World, as the energies of unrest escalate on a collective and personal level as well. These are the times when all the deep-seated issues simmering beneath the surface come out to be dealt with and ideally healed. What this means for individuals, is that all the stuff you haven't processed (from childhood on) and released is showing up more powerfully now through a variety of inescapable ways. Here are but a few examples.

Many feel frustrated, fed up and discouraged. Many are projecting, as well as taking out their issues in relations with others. The break up and divorce rate is climbing higher. Many are not paying attention at work and their mistakes are disrupting others lives. Many are having health problems often an unconscious result of not dealing with emotional pain, which can end up creating energy blocks in the body sometimes leading to illness. Many are utilizing illegal and legal drugs, as well as alcohol to escape, more than ever. The list goes on. These are the times when you are not allowed to not deal with your issues without paying a heavy price.

If you are wise you will take the necessary steps and actions now to deal with what haunts you, before you experience greater difficulties. If you are one of the deluded who thinks you are fine and that it is the other person or persons in your Life that need help; let me remind you that no one shows up in anyone's Life unless they exist on some level within You. All people and events come one's way to heal the Soul. Life is all about the Soul's Evolution and growth. The outer stuff is just the vehicle that takes us there.

One of the best books to assist one on their Journey towards wholeness is “Meeting the Shadow� a book of essays by several different authors compiled by Zwieg and Abrams. Shadow means the unconscious part of yourself that you are unaware of. Utilizing it as a homework book, read starting with the Prologue through the end of chapter 2. After that, on a daily basis open the book anywhere randomly and read the paragraph that catches your attention and then go back and read the whole essay that you opened to. Each essay is only a couple of pages. The more you meet and integrate the shadow within, the less likely it is to show up in your Life. Also any books by Robert Johnson who wrote “We�, “He�, “She� and “Owning Your Shadow� are wonderful as well. These are just to name a few, which if you would apply the information in your Life can make a huge difference. You can order these through Amazon.com or your local bookstore.

The more one works on their inner self, the more time one is given in their daily Life to do so. One of my clients was telling me about how boring her job is and that she has blocks of time just sitting at her desk with nothing happening. I said how perfect, you have plenty of time to read and reflect as you boss is frequently out of the office. She started to utilize her time to work on her inner self, and as she expanded in awareness so did her opportunities. She is now living a wonderful, non-boring Life. The message and reminder is that if you want to change your Life, you must first change within.

These are times of profound self-revelation, if you utilize these Cycles that are intensifying to do so. It is also a time of opening Pandora's box so to speak, as our personal and collective demons come to the surface. Among its definitions, the dictionary defines demon as a persistently tormenting force. Interestingly it also defines demon as someone who is extremely zealous. (Mel Gibson is an example of someone who is publicly wrestling with his.) My definition of demon is anything that we haven't integrated within that becomes destructive to ourselves on any level.

It is going to require immense discipline for each of us to not get swept up in the collective anger and drama that is going on. It's as if someone took the lid off the anger jar and it comes pouring out during these times. This is just the beginning. As I have said and written about these past few years, this is all part of the transitional process of leaving one Age and entering another. In the more recent and accurate translations of the language that Jesus spoke; he talked about the end of an Age, not the world.

Now about the hoopla over Pluto not being a main Planet but still a dwarf Planet. Does size matter? It's the impact that counts. The atom is a great example of this. Anyone who has ever been under a Pluto Cycle can attest to its significance and magnitude. Even those who were unaware they were under a Pluto Cycle until after the fact can describe in detail what they experienced. Those of you that saw my T.V. show on Elvis Presley filmed awhile back may remember the following, that I am sharing with all of you now who don't have the opportunity to see my informative show since it doesn't air in your area.

An article written by the columnist Eileen Winters in a San Fernando Valley Newspaper documents the following story. (At some point when and if I can get copyright permission, I will reprint the article in my Newsletter.) Here is the short version of what occurred. Several years ago I was teaching a class on Astrology in Sherman Oaks, California. One of my students brought in Elvis Presley's Chart to discuss in the class, a year prior to his death. I saw that he was heading for the Cycle of Pluto right on his Mars in Libra. This is the pattern where if one does not overcome any self-destructive behavior and lifestyle they die. Other Cycles one can get away with not changing and still make it, not so with Pluto, especially on a Natal Mars.

He was getting this Pluto Cycle 3 times, the last time being in August of 1977. The whole class knew he would die the following August and tried to reach him to warn him. The irony was that a class member had gone to school with Linda Thompson, Elvis' soon to be ex-girlfriend. He said he would contact her. He tried unsuccessfully to get a letter to Linda to give to Elvis. We were all in a panic trying to reach Elvis in time. Both during the first and second Pluto Cycle, Elvis ended up in the hospital. The third and last Pluto Cycle he died.

For those of you that are Astrology students or Astrologers check out the Pluto Cycle to Elvis' Mars and you will see clearly the impact and importance of Pluto. This is just one example and a famous one at that. Also there are significant factors as well as Cycles in Astrology that have nothing to do with Planets. The Sun, a Star, determines in relationship to the Earth what your Sign is. The Lunar Nodes, which determine when Wobbles occur, are mathematical points. The Part of Fortune so extremely important in Solar and Lunar Return Charts is also a mathematical point. The list goes on. As the saying goes “a rose by any other name will smell as sweet.� Call Pluto what you want, it is still the most powerful significator in Astrology.

Recently I contacted a spokesperson at Lowell Observatory here in Arizona. “She told me that Pluto is now considered a dwarf Planet, though out of the 2500 scientists that voted, there were so many differing viewpoints, that though it was passed by a majority, the subject of what Pluto is, is by no means closed.� According to them, the current definition of a Planet is a round celestial object that orbits the Sun with a clear orbital path. With this new definition, Pluto doesn't qualify simply because Pluto's orbit at times comes inside of Neptune's. As I said the issue is still not settled with astronomers, it is settled with Astrologers who were the original astronomers. The irony is that Johannes Kepler who discovered the laws of orbital motion was an Astrologer as well.

Currently the World is now in the process of Pluto, the Planet that represents God's will and Transformation, on the center point of our Galaxy. The following two paragraphs are taken form my 2005 1st Newsletter of that year.

“Pluto is right on the Galactic Center in 2006 and 2007 and is building now. Then in 2008 and 2009, Pluto is triggering the Winter Solstice point of 0 degrees of Capricorn, which is the ultimate power point of World change. It is this point that got triggered by a Solar Eclipse in 2001 that lead me to predict in my Newsletter the time of world change in 2001 and that we would be going to war. As world altering as 2001 was, it does not match the magnitude of Pluto right on the Solstice point.�

We have had Pluto before on the world point of 0 degrees of Capricorn before;( the last time was 246 years ago) and now it's approaching it's most powerful time ever, simply because it is occurring at the same time as we are in the process of ending one Age and entering a New Age.

Also the Wobbles are getting longer and as a consequence they are occurring closer together. When we have a portion of a Wobble occurring at the same time as a Mercury Retrograde, it is a double whammy. This happened during the July portion of our Wobble. We are now in another Wobble till October 4th. We get a short break and start another one October 22nd that goes all the way till December 31st. With Mercury going Retrograde on October 28th until the evening of November 17th, it will be a double whammy. November will be particularly intense as we will have 5 Planetary factors in the Sign of Scorpio squaring Saturn and opposing Neptune. Also when we have this many factors in Scorpio, on a collective level, peoples' emotion will be running rampant. The greater the forces for Transformation, the more dangerous they are.

Also the center point of this November/December Wobble is at 20 degrees of Sagittarius exactly opposite the United States Mars. Anytime we have a Planetary factor on the USA it affects all of us living here. An example of this occurred this August with the heavy Full Moon in Aquarius, right on the USA's Moon, where I advised everyone to stay home (on the 2006 Cycles Tape). Thank God and the intelligence agencies, the planned terrorist attack was discovered!

This is one of the main reasons I don't post the Wobbles on my Website because there are so many other important Cycles to be aware of. That is why I record all the information so that my clients and you have access to the information on the overall monthly Cycles as well as the details of the Wobbles. The Wobble information is calculated by me.

This brings me to the subject of the 2007 Wobbles and Cycles that will be recorded on a CD set that includes 2 CDs to cover all the material and information. I am no longer making a recording for each Sun Sign, even though the 2 CD set will highlight each month which Signs are under strong Mars and which Signs have the magnetic love and opportunity energy of Venus. Also when a Sign has a Full Moon and other factors. The focus of the 2007 Wobbles and Cycles 2 CD set will be on the energies of the collective Cycles that are effecting us all.

I feel the Cycles; I just don't talk about them. The Astrological gift I was given is a combination of mental understanding and intuitive feeling, a listening to something beyond me. My human form suffered last year feeling and sharing all the information on the 2006 Cycles Tapes because I had to feel the intensity of the Cycles 12 times!! I made a promise that during these times, I won't do that again, hence the new format.
The 2 CD set is only three dollars more and the same handling and shipping fee as before even though it costs more to ship. And it comes with the easy to understand printed Moon Void of Course Sheet for the entire year.

Wobbles and strong Mars Cycles do serve in bringing suppressed energies, feelings, emotions, problems and hidden activities to the surface. To the degree that something has been suppressed, is equal in proportion to the force it erupts with. That is why we always see greater violence going on during Wobbles, more extreme events and relationship break ups, etc. These are not pretend times. What erupts is how people feel individually and collectively. The tragedy is that it gets played out on others.

The great news about all these times is the tremendous opportunity each of us has to more rapidly change ourselves and evolve our Soul, which is why we are all here.

For the last few years my Workshops have been totally on Solar Return Birthdays simply because during these difficult times we each need all the support possible to get through these times. This summer I became very alarmed to see when I was doing clients Chart Updates that almost all of them have Lunar Returns with serious health patterns next February and March of 2007. A Lunar Return is when the Moon, each month returns to the exact degree of your Natal Moon at birth. This Cycle, which happens every month, as the Moon contacts your own Moon, reveals your personal key issues for the current Lunar Month.

The Lunar Return is calculated for where you are geographically at the time the Moon contacts your own Moon. Similar to a Solar Return Birthday. You have 13 Lunar Returns a year. Like a Solar Return Birthday Location you can alter your Lunar Return just by being in a different location for a few hours at the time of your Lunar Return. The main reason to alter a Lunar Return is for Health issues. The magnitude of how powerfully a Planet in your Lunar Return House of Health plays out is connected with what Cycles you are under as well as your Solar Return Chart. The Solar Return Chart is the overall view for the Birthday Year and the Lunar Return Charts are the specifics, showing the deeper patterns.

To give you an example a client of mine with the Part of Fortune in his Solar Return House of Health for that Birthday year in addition had to do some Lunar Return trips as well, due to Planets showing up in some of his Monthly Lunar Returns house/section of health. (The locations are normally close by in the USA). He commissioned me to do the locations of where he needed to be at the time of certain Lunar Returns to move those Planets out of his Lunar Health house/section of the Chart. The following he related to me after it happened. He was scheduled to go to Eugene, Oregon for a Lunar Return Trip. Since he lives in Los Angeles, it wasn't a great distance to there. However he was tired and decided not to go. The Lunar Return kicked in and after he ended up in the hospital emergency room spending $10,000 he called me and said it would have been far easier and financially better to have gone to Oregon for his Lunar Return. Needless to say he didn't miss going on any other necessary Lunar Return trips after that.

Looking at the patterns so far in the Lunar Returns for next February and March, March being the more serious, most need to alter those Lunar Returns. The conclusion though is that something major is going to happen on a collective level whether it's a pandemic or other disaster not excluding terrorism. We are having a particularly difficult Wobble during that time. I am just now working on the Wobbles and Cycles for 2007. In any event all of us need to build up our immune system.

When you know about your Lunar patterns you have a choice to do the things that can help avoid the potential difficulties and also the choice of taking a short trip to support a particular pattern. I have seen Neptune for example badly aspected in a Lunar Return house of health play out in a variety of ways, none of them good, from a massive heart attack, a car accident, discovery of pancreatic cancer, to minor painful injuries. Sometimes the result won't occur immediately as it can be a cumulative effect reflecting that a health problem is going on beneath the surface that needs to be attended to. Knowing about it is a blessing!

In Love and Truth,

Signe Quinn Taff
