On The Air!

Hi again. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be on Duncan Metzger's "Northern Lightworker" tonight at 6 PM Pacific Time (9 PM Eastern). I'm looking forward to it... it's always interesting. It will also be your last chance (for a while) to get autographed copies of the new book. After tonight, I'll likely be going quiet here for a while. The Astrology.com blog and "The Daily Sky" will continue to run.

Me? I'll be busy for a while. There's a Universe to be conquered out there...

It's The Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme One Day Fire Sale!

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme (born October 22, 1948, time unknown, Santa Monica, California) was released today from prison. This happens on a day when transiting Jupter and Neptune are sextile to her natal Jupiter and trine her Sun, and Saturn has finally come off the long, ugly conjunction with her natal Venus.

Okay, I don't know how you feel about having a former Mason Family member roaming the streets. Personally, I suspect she won't be killing anyone else.

But even if you aren't a fan of having a Helter Skelter participant being free... it still shows that good transits can bring good news. So, in recognition of this principle...

Everyone ordering one or more e-books or ordering an autographed copy of the book (or requesting the three-month forecast deal) receives TWICE the bonus materials at no extra charge. Just mention Squeaky when you order.

Shameless exploitation on my part? Maybe. But, what the heck... Squeaky will probably have lots of help adjusting to life on the outside. Me? I gotta keep working for a living. And I haven't even killed anyone. Jeez.

Mars In Capricorn: Not Afraid Of Shameless Self-Promotion

Hi again, just a quick update. It turns out there are some readers out there of mine (and bless you all by the way) who weren't aware that I write a regular feature for Astrology.com. Have a look: I've been kind of busy getting ready for...

Is everyone getting tired of me beating it to death that I have a book now? I'm not... it's a Mars in Capricorn thing.

Thank you all for your readership... and your patience.

(UPDATE: Signed copies of the book with The Twenty Dollar Freebie will only be available until the 18th. For details or to order: octaviapress@hotmail.com)

And now a song about traffic lights!

It's A Signing With Wine! (Also, There's A Book Involved)


If you are in Calgary on Saturday, August 15th, you're invited to a private book signing...

(Hey, it's still "private" if I invite the people reading my blog. We're all friends here, right..?)



And of course, for the distant or impatient, copies of the e-book are available from conquertheuniversewithastrology.com. And everyone buying in person, from the Conquer site, or buying the actual book gets the Amazing Twenty Dollar Freebie at no extra charge!



And now, an amusing tune about brain-eating zombies. You'd be amazed how many people seem to feel like they're surrounded by brain-eating zombies since the eclipse. Or, just in general during the work day.

Career Day: Paula Abdul Leaves "American Idol" Just In Time For The Eclipse

It has been confirmed that Paula Abdul (born June 19, 1962, 2:32 PM, San Fernando California) is leaving American Idol. I wrote about Paula almost exactly a year ago, and figured that the processes that would lead to her leaving were coming to a peak in January of this year.

Although I don't follow Paula Abdul news that closely (she's already had her fair share of trouble with stalkers), I did find two stories of possible significance that happened in January of this year.


(Make up your own Gemini joke here, people.)


So: we have difficult times with co-workers and the potential promise of greater personal glory. And what do we see for Paula's transits around the time of her announcement that she's leaving?

  • Neptune and Jupiter (to a lesser extent) are trine her natal Sun while passing through her natal 5th House, and Uranus is squaring it from her Sixth House. Translation: "I feel really good about myself, except I'm not getting enough recognition at work."
  • Her secondary progressed Sun is being conjuncted by the transiting Sun. Translation: "Look at me! Look at me!"

With all that Sun action going on, Paula's likely feeling good about things. Of course a cynic (or an astrologer) might have warned her about letting Ego issues get in the way of making wise decisions.

Her secondary progressed Venus is rolling into the exact square with her natal Sun. Translation: "Yes, I really do feel good about myself. Maybe excessively good."

As for today's Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius? It's squaring her natal Mars. Translation: "I'm going to spend the next while taking action, whether that action is well-thought-out or not."

Don't be surprised if in the next few days you hear some pronouncements from Paula about how everything is great. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if he hear something fairly soon about that talk show, or some other major project that will make Paula bigger and better than ever.

Of course, I can't help but wonder if Paula's next major hint will be a star turn on "Celebrity Rehab."

Conquer The Universe With Astrology: Love And Seduction By Starlight


My latest book in the "Conquer The Universe" series is now available: "Love And Seduction By Starlight."

Love? Sure. But... why seduction?

As an astrologer, the majority of consultations I do are centered on issues related to Love. And… whether you planned it that way or not… seduction is a part of the process, as surely as the salesman is a part of the process when you buy a car. Everyone, of course, likes to think they’re above that. The very word “seduction” conjures images of users and bleary-eyed mornings of regret. And sure: sometimes that’s what seduction ends with, just like there really are a few crooked car salesmen out there.

But the truth is that “salesmanship” is a part of life whenever you interact with someone new. No matter how qualified you may feel you are for a job, you still spell-check your résumé and dress nicely. Besides, "seduction" isn't just a ploy: done properly, it's the first gift of yourself you present to a potential romantic partner.

Most of the clients I have come to me with one of two major issues:

  • Where is the love that I really want/need?
  • Why is the love I have not working out the way I want it to?

…And to be perfectly honest, more often than not the answer(s) to those questions boil down to two very simple factors:

  • You don’t fully understand the assets you have, or you aren’t using them properly
  • You don’t really understand how your partner is wired.

This e-book -- 68 pages delivered in .PDF format -- will give you the tools you need to understand yourself, your moods, and how you interact with and love others. It will also give you the means to get a fully-formed handle on the people you love (or would like to love, or would like to have loving you).

"Love And Seduction" contains:
  • The previously released Sun and Moon sections.
  • The all new "Personal Planets" section. Learn how Mercury, Venus and Mars affect how you love and who you love.
  • Special sections on how to use the power of your Venus and Mars.
  • All twelve of my "Compatibility Guides," with notes on how to quickly and easily use them to expand your knowledge of astrology beyond just Sun Sign stuff.
Look up your own placements first, and see how those various pictures add up to make you who you are. If you have the birth data for anyone you have (or had) a relationship with (or unrequited love, or desire, or real contempt for) in past, look them up too. Before long, you’ll find yourself saying “Why didn’t I know this before! Think of all the time and trouble I could have saved myself!”

Also: the better you understand yourself and others using astrology, the more money you’ll save on counsellors, bad dates… and astrologers. You’ll thank me later…

Also: For all those of you who arrived here via Google looking for "How to seduce" an Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces Man (or Woman)... you've arrived at the right place.

Don't take my word for it. Here's an early review:

"I find your writing style delightful - as if you are sharing secrets with me - taking the complicated interpretation of mathematical calculations and scientific understandings and making it all approachable, knowable. This is a careful and considered, step-by-step laying down of the fundamentals in applying astrology to our lives, and yet, carefully-considered though it may be, does not seem contrived - rather, it flows like a conversation one might have with a mentor - informative, insightful, and inspired...and always, witty."

Moon In Cancer On The Ascendant, Trine Chiron Conjunct Midheaven

When it comes to the traits of our own birth chart, we can be a little like a fish that never realizes it's completely surrounded by water. But today, as the Moon passed through my Sixth House, I started to think about my heroes, and it all made sense.
