Get Your Stress Level in the Optimal Range

In a recent interview on NBC’s “The Today Show,” skydiver Felix Baumgartner talks about how, after having thought about doing a death-defying jump in space for many years, he was ready to go when he set a world record this month.

Join me for a free talk this Thursday night from 7:45 to 9:45 in Durham about how you might "jump off" in your life and achieve something very life-enriching (if not exactly death-defying)... ;-) 

For more information (and to register), see: http://astrologychat2.eventbrite.com/

In the interview, Baumgartner explains how (before the jump) he anticipated going into an out-of-control spin and figured out a way to stop it when it happened... and then (during the jump), he successfully carried out his plan, broke the sound barrier, and landed safely on Earth.

His experience serves as an apt metaphor for the sort of stressful changes that we're all experiencing these days (each of us in our own way), in particular parts of our lives.

When it comes to stress, there's an optimal range. Too much stress, and we're exhausted. Too little stress, and we're bored.

How's your stress level?

Whether it's too high or too low, and whether you're feeling it at home or work... financially, romantically, or otherwise...

... a little astrology can help you get it into the optimal range.

Free Talk This Thurs. Night in Durham!

Between 2012 and 2015, Uranus and Pluto form a 90-degree angle (or "square") not once but seven times.  

 Uranus and Pluto last formed a square with each other in the 1930’s... and once they stop doing it in 2015, they won’t do it again until 2073!

Now, some people would have you believe that the sky is falling because of this temporary astrological "weather pattern"...

... and while I will readily agree that, during this "weather," the potential does exist for unwelcome upheaval and breakdowns of various sorts to disrupt your life ...

... I also wholeheartedly believe that, by willingly, actively making a space in your life for necessary changes to take place, you can have a dramatically different experience over the next three years.

I believe that, rather than simply experiencing breakdowns and upheaval, you can positively transform your life and make it more your own.  

Join me as I share how to leverage the rare ongoing square between Uranus and Pluto... based on your particular birth chart... to accomplish whatever is most important to you, between now and 2015... 

...at an informal talk about astrology...

"2012-2015: Transform Your Life and Make It More Your Own" 

WHEN: This Thursday (October 25), from 7:45 pm to 9:45 pm

WHERE: Whole Foods Market (cafe), 621 Broad St., Durham, NC 27705

Bounce Your Interpretation of Your Birth Chart Off Someone Else

Here are at least two options:

1. You can post a message on my Facebook page...

https://www.facebook.com/theproudphoenix

... and I / someone else who visits the page will give you feedback--applause, constructive criticism, etc. :-)

2. If you live in the Triangle area (of central North Carolina), then you can also run it by me at one of my informal, in-person chats, held in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, etc. 

I'm sorry about the dead link to my old message board on my website. (I'll fix that ASAP.)

Yes, I Do Sometimes Host Events in Cary

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHETHER I EVER DO MEETINGS IN CARY...

... Yes, I do!

In fact, "As we speak," I'm researching Caribou Coffee near Maynard in Cary as a possible place...

... for an informal talk...

... to be held this coming Saturday (Oct. 27), from 8 to 10 a.m.


BY THE WAY, IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT THAT TIME...

Just today, I decided to start experimenting with scheduling such talks in Wake County (i.e., in Raleigh and Cary)...

... for the two hours immediately before / after Dancing Moon Books & Gifts opens / closes in Raleigh.

Now, I realize that 8 to 10 a.m.  is an early time for many people on a Saturday.

I'll tweak the aforementioned approach over the coming days and weeks...

... as I see how it goes for all concerned.

I HOPE THAT YOU CAN JOIN ME THIS SATURDAY

I'll add an entry for it on Eventbrite ASAP... tonight (if at all possible; otherwise, ASAP tomorrow) ... so that you can sign up for it (if you'd like).

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE "JACK AND THE BEANSTALK" FAIRY TALE?

What are YOU to DO when YOUR teenage son ("Jack") ... or your teen daughter ("Jill") ... wants to turn "beans" into "magic" ... that is, when he or she wants to go off on some wild and very uncertain adventure?

I MISSED MY OWN SELF-IMPOSED RELEASE DATE (YESTERDAY)...

RESPONDING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MAGIC BEANS IN YOUR TEENAGE CHILD'S LIFE: Supporting Your Child’s Growth When Opportunities--and Uncertainties-- Arise

In the Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods, parents and children address issues of growing up, wish fulfillment and its consequences.

At first, the characters of young Jack and his mother struggle to get by financially. Then, after learning that he has acquired so-called “magic beans,” she angrily tosses them on the ground. They grow into a very high beanstalk. Jack climbs it and has quite an adventure.

The decisions that a parent makes on behalf of her child have repercussions for each of them and possible for many other people, too. When a parent makes such decisions, the results may become apparent immediately, or within a matter of months, or even years afterwards.

When presented with the possibility of “magic beans” in her child’s life, how does a parent know how best to respond?

Astrology can help. Consider, for example, the case of this past summer’s Olympic Gold medalist Gabby Douglas and her mother, Natalie Hawkins.
