March Astrological Forecast!

March 2, 2016 by @candesscampbell

March 5^th: Mercury enters Pisces at 2:24 am PST. Transiting Mercury departs from the sign of Aquarius and enters Pisces this morning. Mercury will journey through three signs during the month of March: Aquarius, Pisces and Aries.

March 5^th: Mars enters Sagittarius at 6:30 pm PST. The Warrior planet departs the elusive water sign of Scorpio and arrives in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. Mars will turn retrograde at 8 deg 52 min in Sagittarius on April 17^th, and will return to the sign of Scorpio during May 27^th– August 1^st.

March 8^th: Super New Moon Solar Eclipse in Pisces at 5:54 pm PST. The last New Moon of Winter completes in the water sign of Pisces demonstrating a triple header of its power as a Solar Eclipse. The Sun and Moon will merge at 18 deg 55 min in Pisces in close proximity “perigee” to the earth raising the tides of emotions, oceans, and seismic activity in the global village as expansive Jupiter in Virgo closely opposes the Sun and Moon within a fraction of a single degree. Mystical events and sensitivities run high manifesting changes in the earth, human relationships, and spiritual realizations.

March 12^th: Venus enters Pisces at 2:24 am PST. Lady Venus arrives in Pisces during the final week of winter accenting care, compassion, and sensitivity paving the way for new initiatives when she steps into the sign of Aries on April 5^th.

March 19^th: Vernal Equinox Sun enters Aries at 9:31 pm PDT. The Spring season arrives in the northern hemisphere between two powerful eclipses. Middle ground & renegotiating partnerships and relationships will be emphasized as Winter surrenders to Spring.

March 21^st: Mercury enters Aries at 5:19 pm PDT. On the heels of its journey through the signs of Aquarius & Pisces, fleet-footed Mercury will enter the sign of Aries on March 21st as it prepares for a “Spring Break” when it retrogrades in Taurus on April 28^th at 10:20 am PDT.

March 23^rd: Super Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra/Aries at 5:00 am PDT. The first Full Moon of Spring peaks with the Moon in Libra opposing the Sun in Aries at 3 deg 17 min of longitude. The equinoxes correspond to relationships between the opposite Cardinal signs of Aries “Self”, and Libra “Partnership” in the eternal quest for finding middle ground between our selves and others. Today’s Super Full Moon will be especially prominent for those with chart angles and planets between zero degrees to six degrees in the initiatory signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.

March 25^th: Saturn stations retrograde in Sagittarius at 3:01 am PDT. Transiting Saturn reverses direction at 16 deg 24 min in Sagittarius after six months of direct motion in Sagittarius. Saturn will turn direct on August 13^th 2016 at 9 deg 46 min in Sagittarius.

Communication and ADD

February 27, 2016 by @candesscampbell

Have you ever listened to a friend and thought “Can she even hear herself?” We all have patterns of communication, and behavior for that matter, we don’t notice.

I remember one day my daughter said to me, “Mom, you’ve said that before, several times.” Many of you know when I was 14 years old I had an accident that resulted in a Near Death Experience with head injuries. As a result of this I have experienced some memory problems. Another result of this trauma was I lost my sense of smell, which also influences memory. A positive from the accident is a definite increase in my intuition. When my brain was injured, my intuitive self took over and now much of how I access information is intuitively.

Unless we continually challenge our brain, we can develop memory lapses. Since my daughter’s comment, I have been working on being aware and not repeating myself. Repeating can happen for reasons other than memory problems and brain injury. When one has a history of not being heard, not being listened to by others, they can develop a pattern of repeating. Saying the same thing over and over again can also come from a lack of self-awareness. It can also be an ineffective way of trying to heal an emotional wound. You may say the same thing over and over but nothing changes. It would be more effective to change your behavior by accepting a situation or changing your relationship with the problem; forgiving, leaving, setting boundaries and such. Saying the same thing over and over can also be a sign of ADD.

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend, loved one or a co-worker who often repeated the same thing and didn’t focus. Someone with whom you tried to create a plan, but politely getting them to pay attention, listen and commit to a time was near impossible? Instead they just kept telling you all the situations that went on in their day and you were not able to set a meeting.

So, how to do you communicate with friends, loved ones and co-workers that are ADD or have ADD
symptoms?

Listed here are some of the Inattentive Symptoms of ADD; not the Hyperactive Symptoms. This may help you to identify why you’ve had some difficulty communicating with someone. It can clarify why you may have felt frustrated and hopefully will give you some helpful communication solutions for yourself.

Inattentive ADD Symptoms

Careless mistakes/lack of attention to details
Lack of sustained attention
Poor listener
Failure to follow through on tasks
Poor organization
Forgetful in daily activities
Avoiding tasks requiring sustained mental effort
Losing things
Easily distracted

Depending upon how close you are to this person, you may want to research more about ADD and continue to learn.
Here are some simple ideas that may help.

Use emails as your primary form of communication to set up meetings. This way you can scan the email quickly for the details about the meeting.
Start your conversation with, “I have one minute to plan this meeting.”
When the person becomes tangential, politely bring them back to topic. “Oh, I’m sorry, I
have to go, when did you say you could meet?”
Give the person 3 clear choices of times.
Be willing to set a boundary.
If the person won’t be decisive, realize the meeting may not happen and move on.
Plan your communication with the person when you have enough time to go through the
process to get the meeting planned.
Have a plan B for your time so if their disorganization creates a last minute cancelation, it
won’t disrupt your life.

These are some ideas that may be helpful. Again, if this is someone you live with or a supervisor, I encourage you to find more information on this topic.

Lover Archetype

February 10, 2016 by @candesscampbell

The creativity of your subconscious mind not only shows up in dreams, but also shows up as archetypes in your life. Archetypes are overlying patterns that show up in all cultures that are seeded in the psyche. Some examples of archetypes are mother, judge, teacher and healer. Today we will explore the Lover. When you begin to look at these patterns in your life, you can unleash your creative energy. You can access your natural path and move toward your Divine Soul purpose.

Leonard Cohen’s song Lover, Lover, Lover, rings in my ears as I explore the Lover Archetype in this series on archetypes.

“May the spirit of this song, may it rise up pure and free. May it be a shield for you, a shield against the enemy,” Cohen purrs. Love, being in love, being a lover brings forth not only the purity, freedom, passion, but also the enemy within: the jealousy, possessiveness, control and codependency. These are the sun and the shadow sides of the Lover archetype.

We all have an aspect of the lover archetype within, but I imagine when you think of your friends and loved ones, someone who embodies this archetype comes to mind. Whether they are passionate about life, about their relationships, or have a great passion for music, art or gardening, you can identify them right away.

If your creative energy is connected to the Lover archetype, you may find that you sacrifice much for your ideals. It may be that others think you don’t live in reality, or that your view of the world through the lens of your heart is not realistic. The lover may characterize you as genuine, happy and giving to others. The shadow side could manifest as obsessive, possessive and scary.

There is also something about the Lover archetype that draws us deep into a sense of suffering. Think about the suffering artist, the struggling musician, and the one who gave up everything for love.

As morose as it may seem, my favorite song, another of Cohen’s greats, is Joan of Arc. Cohen is a contemporary musician who clearly understands passion.

It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and then she clearly understood
if he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

It was Carl Gustav Jung, who was the father of analytical psychology who gave us the concepts of the archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious and the understanding of introversion and extroversion. He identified the shadow side of the archetype as the part that was relegated to the subconscious because, due to its negative qualities, it was not easily integrated into the personality. In psychoanalytic therapy and in dream work, it is important to access the shadow and bring it into the light so that it does not gain power and cause you to subconsciously behave in ways that can be self-defeating or damaging to others.

We know of many instances where the shadow side of love has been destructive. One example would be of Guinevere and Lancelot. Guinevere was married to King Arthur and had an affair with Sir Lancelot. Lancelot was a knight, one of King Arthur’s favorites. This indiscretion leads to the undoing of the Round Table.

What about one’s love for their country? This can also be an outpour of the Lover Archetype. With this strong passion, one can get caught up in an uprising that can end up in disaster or war. The obsessiveness of the shadow side of love can be all encompassing.

Some of our greatest discoveries have come from those who gave their lives to find a cure, understand a formula, and take a passionate stand. In today’s world, workaholism can show up as an expression of the lover archetype. Creativity abounds when you love what you do! The shadow side of this may be neglected relationships or declining health.

It is time to examine your own life and find what stokes your fire. For whom or what would you be willing to give up everything? Whether you actually do it or not, what do you love to do the most? When you look back over your life, where has passion been the driving force behind your choices? Who makes you angry? What would you fight for? Where do you find your bliss?

The Lover may or may not be a significant archetypal pattern for you. As you reflect, take notes on other archetypes you identify. Think about how others see you. Is your career representative of one of your archetypes? For example a strong archetype for me is the Teacher. Interwoven in my life and career is being a Spiritual Teacher. It comes natural to me. What would you do with your time if you had unlimited resources and freedom. What is your natural path? What is your Divine Soul Purpose?

When your Loved One Crosses Over

February 6, 2016 by @candesscampbell

When working with clients in my office, often one of their loved ones who passed over would show up. I asked my client if they wanted me to address their loved one and they always said yes. One day I decided to test my ability in public.

I created an event at a local library and didn’t charge since I was testing myself. I have done public events as a psychic for years, but not as a medium. I let everyone know I was practicing. I asked the audience who had someone they would like me to reach. There was a woman on the right about three rows back I felt drawn to. I saw anguish in her face. At the same time there was a young male voice I heard within, telling me it was wrong. He was trying to get my attention. I asked her who died and she said her son. His voice got louder and I knew the information she was told was wrong. I asked her “how did they say he died?” She said suicide. As soon as she said this her son’s voice got louder and more clear. He explained to me what happened and it was not suicide at all. I shared with this woman what he told me and peace came over her and her face softened.

At that moment, I became aware that as a counselor it would have taken maybe two years for her to get the relief I witnessed her getting in about two minutes.

It has been difficult coming out as a psychic and a medium in my conservative community, but what I witness when I work with clients is amazing. At the last private psychic party I facilitated, several of the women wanted to talk to their mothers who had passed over. I am thinking of making this a theme party in the future and especially around Mother’s Day.

February Astrological Forecast for Valentines!

February 2, 2016 by @candesscampbell

February is not only my birthday month, but it is also the month of Valentine’s Day! Here in addition to the February Astrological Forecast by Lee, I am sharing a part of a compatibility report I had Lee create for me between a man I was dating and myself. This gives you insight to how it can be helpful to have a report done and share to enhance communication. Whenever I date and when I go into a working relationship with someone, I have Lee run a report for me. It is not only helpful, it is fun! A gift of a Compatibility Report is a great idea for Valentine’s Day! (I am changing my friend’s name to Thomas for his privacy.)

Candess Campbell’s Sun in Aquarius and Thomas’s Sun in Pisces:

Both of you are very open-minded and tolerant toward new ideas, the unusual, and the unconventional. Candess Campbell, however, is much more cerebral than Thomas, who is essentially intuitive and emotional. While Candess Campbell is cool, rational, and always able to give excellent reasons for an opinion or position, Thomas is frequently unable to logically articulate the feeling, values and subtleties that color and shape personally-held attitudes or positions. Also, Thomas is a very sympathetic, compassionate person who feels the needs and pain of others very directly. Candess Campbell has a humanitarian outlook, but is often more concerned with principles and ideals, rather than with real people and their actual situations. Candess Campbell, in fact, is capable of considerable emotional detachment and objectivity, unlike Thomas, who is hopelessly subjective.

Okay, that is only my Sun Sign. I have a big heart too as you will see in the rest of my chart! Isn’t that great! I love it. Here is Lee’s Astrological Forecast for February 2016!

February 8^th The New Moon in Aquarius at 6:39 am PST ushers in the Chinese New Year of the Monkey. On the heels of a static western January 1^st Gregorian New Year calendar arrives the cyclical Chinese eastern calendar “New Year of the Monkey” illustrating that time is relative, and not all calendars are created equal in the global village.

February 13^th Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius at 2:43 pm PST. The planet Mercury returns to the sign of Aquarius for the second time this year after 36 consecutive days in the sign of Capricorn on the Eve of Valentine’s Day. Mercury will station retrograde four times this year on January 5^th, April 28^th, August 30^th, and December 19^th.

February 16^thVenus enters Aquarius at 8:17 pm PST: Venus joins the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius extending her respects to grace the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

February 18^thThe Sun arrives in Pisces at 9:34 pm PST. The Sun joins Chiron and Neptune in the sign of Pisces forming harmonious aspects to the Moon in Cancer and Mars in Scorpio. The annual Pisces Solar cycle heightens spiritual experiences, dreams and intuitive healings with assistance from transiting Jupiter in Virgo to Chiron on Pisces.

February 22^ndFull Moon in Virgo/Pisces at 3 deg 34 min at 10:20 am PST. This year’s Full Moon in February highlights completions of ceremonial rituals and traditions such as the annual Mardi Gras that began with this February’s New Moon in Aquarius.

February 28^thThe Sun conjoins Neptune in Pisces at 9 deg 30 min at 7:48 am PST. The Sun and Neptune merge in the sign of Pisces on what would otherwise be the final day of February, except for the fact that 2016 is a “leap year”. Consequently, the western calendar adds one more day in February every 4 years resulting in a 366 day year in 2016. The conjunction of the Sun and Neptune in the sign of Pisces provide a brief portal for heightened intuitive and spiritual connections.
