Saturn in Scorpio Opposes Planets in Taurus

Have you been dealing with excessive limits, lately?

It’s not your imagination; as the planets move through Taurus, they’re all running up against the opposition to Saturn (restrictions) at 8 degrees Scorpio. Venus (love, money, self-esteem) in Taurus experienced the Saturn hit on April 22nd. Between now and May 1st, the Sun (life force) and Mars (action) will feel the crunch.

Saturn is retrograde (reversed), so these are old or repeating limits/fears/rules that are blocking you. You want to build something up (Taurus) but you…just…can’t. Things take double the amount of work. Or you run into a wall. Here’s a tip; when faced with an opposition to Saturn, never attempt to plow straight through. The restrictions are there for a reason. Find another way around. Pay attention to where your energy is being refocused, and go that way.

The upside to this influence is that it teaches you resourcefulness and maturity. You figure out another way to make something work, or you dig a bit deeper. That’s evolved Taurus energy, coming through in the crunch. Taurus never gives up, but it can shift into a higher gear.

If you have planets between 4-8 degrees Taurus or Scorpio, you’ll be caught in this crunch.

monday april 29th- 
the first aspect of the day and week is exact at 7:49pm when venus in taurus contraparallels the north node in scorpio, creating an energetic opposition between our needs, desires and attachments and our path of growth, evolution and destiny. on sunday the 28th venus aligned with the south node by degree and today she does so by declination. pay close attention to the karmic patterns/tendencies/dramas playing out in your life during this 48 hour period. the pull towards old behaviors that are based on fear, attachment or needs for safety/security likely are at odds with our Soul's need for growth and evolution. seeing this is one thing but doing something differently is another. breaking free from karmic patterns in relationships, finances and self-worth is not easy- but it is worth it!

O Gliki Mou Ear - Vangelis & Irene Papas

The boy who sang to the world

Twenty years ago, Tom Kenyon was on his way to fame as a country singer in Nashville. But a car that burst into flames and intervention by a psychic led him to discover the power of his own voice to heal.

Since then, Tom has built a bridge across a complex divide, marrying spiritual traditions with modern science to become one of the most respected sound healers alive today.

• Tom has spent years studying the effects of sound, music and language on the human brain and nervous system.
• Unique among healers today, he draws upon this extensive research, his background in psychotherapy and shamanism to create sounds that heal conditions as daunting as cancer and paralysis.
• His vocal range, nearly four octaves, is among the largest of any male singer in the world.
• The film will immerse audiences in Tom’s healing and transformational soundscapes that blend esoteric spiritual traditions from around the world, including Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism, Egyptian high alchemy, and mystical Christianity. It will weave revealing personal interviews with exclusive footage of Tom’s sacred sound tonings filmed in beautiful international locations. Emphasizing Tom’s work on the return of the divine feminine, the film will be rich in the teachings that have attracted thousands of followers and students worldwide.
  The Boy Who Sang to the World is the first time Tom’s amazing alchemical journey will be seen and heard onscreen—an entertaining and often humorous story of magical realism, cows in Samadhi and the promise of human potential in the 21st century.

SRK supports MARD

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar is well known for voicing his thoughts and opinions in support of social causes through Twitter and other mediums. This time the actor has gone further ahead by collaborating with IPL to support and encourage gender equality.

Reports suggest that Farhan Akhtar will be distributing over 70,000 moustaches at the IPL on 26 April 2013 to promote a cause close to his heart, MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination). The concept of MARD took root in August 2012, after a Mumbai lawyer was sexually assaulted and killed. The actor-director-singer has been urging his Twitter and Facebook fans to adopt and spread the message. “It can only spread as a pyramid effect through you,” Akhtar had tweeted.

After a lot of online campaigning, this will be the first on-ground activity at such a large scale. Prior to this, he performed at a college concert in Bangalore wearing a T-shirt that had the logo of MARD on it.

26 April 2013 will see one of IPL’s biggest matches between Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders and Preity Zinta’s Kings XI Punjab, who have also come forward to support MARD.

Farhan is seen carrying out extensive twitter campaigns to generate more awareness about MARD and to encourage supporters to come forward:

Penelope and Pitt lovers in Greece for Woody Allen new film

One of the greatest American directors, the legendary Woody Allen, will complete the cycle of films he has directed based on the most historic cities in Europe, with a movie-anthem dedicated to Athens. According to Greek media reports he is expected to visit Greece in May to scout locations.

After the films Vicky, Christina, Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, and From Rome with Love, Woody Allen is now preparing to film the Athens of the memorandum, bankruptcy and humanitarian crisis. According to information, his next film bears the provisional title Athens by Night and narrates the life of a young American writer who lives in Plaka, under the Acropolis, and writes an epic novel on the Greek crisis.

Rumor has it that Brad Pitt will play the role of the author, while Penelope Cruz will play the role of his Greek lover. Also, according to the same source, an 11-member team of Woody Allen’s partners is already in Athens, in complete secrecy, while for the first time in an Allen film, the script has been written by someone other than him, an American writer, Paul Auster. Allen is expected to arrive early May in Athens to start shooting and according to the the production company, the film will be completed by late September.
Earlier this year information leaked out about another new film by Allen, Blue Jasmine, and involves the story of a woman who migrated from New York to San Francisco. Further details have not been disclosed, while the same sources reported that the cast included – among others – Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett and Peter Sarsgaard. http://hollywood.greekreporter.com/2013/04/04/greek-crisis-inspires-woody-allen-film/

Hypnotherapy 93% recovery after 6 sessions

In 2001, the Professional Affairs Board of the British Psychological Society (BPS) commissioned a working party of expert psychologists to publish a report entitled The Nature of Hypnosis. Its remit was 'to provide a considered statement about hypnosis and important issues concerning its application and practice in a range of contexts, notably for clinical purposes, forensic investigation, academic research, entertainment and training.' The report provides a concise (c. 20 pages) summary of the current scientific research on hypnosis. It opens with the following introductory remark:

"Hypnosis is a valid subject for scientific study and research and a proven therapeutic medium."

With regard to the therapeutic uses of hypnosis, the report said:

"Enough studies have now accumulated to suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy."

The working party then provided an overview of some of the most important contemporary research on the efficacy of clinical hypnotherapy, which is summarized as follows:

• "There is convincing evidence that hypnotic procedures are effective in the management and relief of both acute and chronic pain and in assisting in the alleviation of pain, discomfort and distress due to medical and dental procedures and childbirth."
• "Hypnosis and the practice of self-hypnosis may significantly reduce general anxiety, tension and stress in a manner similar to other relaxation and self-regulation procedures."
• "Likewise, hypnotic treatment may assist in insomnia in the same way as other relaxation methods."
• "There is encouraging evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of hypnotherapeutic procedures in alleviating the symptoms of a range of complaints that fall under the heading 'psychosomatic illness." These include tension headaches and migraine; asthma; gastro-intestinal complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome; warts; and possibly other skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis and urticaria [hives].
• "There is evidence from several studies that its hypnosis' inclusion in a weight reduction program may significantly enhance outcome."
