On Sunday, a very eerie twist of events happened at Belmont Park, NY. This is the same track where Secretarit clinched the Triple Crown in 1973. This was one of the most spectacular sports events in horse racing history.
At this same track on Sunday, 9/11/11, the first race had very odd winning numbers for races 1, 2 and 3. Winning horses carrying these strange numbers were in order: race 1, horse #9 won, race 2, horse #1 won, and the third race, won by horse #1. 9-1-1. Doesn’t it make you wonder? Especially, since it was in Elmont, New York on this day? Maybe it is our spirit guides giving us a message that there is more to come. Maybe it is just a paranormal activity. Maybe it is both.
This happened just after the ceremony for 9/11 in New York where highly charged emotions were everywhere in that state. Plus the fact that it was on everyone’s mind; both the fear of another attack and also remembering those that lost their lives on that horrible day. One might call it A New York State of Mind.
Astrology charts also had some interesting things to say. As Lou wrote, “This is not an easy task when heart and mind compete for dominance as will be the nature of things in this near future” in his article a few days ago on 9/11.
Spencer’s comment was well put in an email to me. Here is what she had to say:
“What I get from this is that all of New York had 9 1 1 strongly on their minds and in their emotions. That attracted occurrences of 9 1 1. I’ll bet there are more instances of “coincidents” that didn’t catch the attention of the press. We have strong creative and manifesting abilities that begin with thoughts and are fueled by emotions which create a vibration that goes out from us. It isn’t so much what we think as the vibe that emanates from within us.”
I agree with Spencer, in that the emotional state of New Yorkers that day, 9/11, was definitely on the minds and in the hearts of all of us, and, in particular, New Yorkers. While some might pass the Belmont winners off as mere coincidence, what are the odds of that happening? I stand firm on the power of the mind and especially when a group is involved with similar thoughts. In this case, fear is a huge emotional state and a very powerful one at that. I tend to agree with Spencer, spirit guides and powerful messages from beyond.
This is one of those ‘coincidences’ that makes you wonder who’s really in charge.

With the technological and scientific advances of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, astrologers and astronomers alike are taking a fresh look at other celestial bodies that exist in our solar system and the potential impact that these objects have both in terms of science and their effect on human affairs. A number of modern astrologers have begun to integrate these asteroids, Centaurs,Trans-Neptunian Objects or planetoids into their charts and interpretations.
Centaurs are a class of minor planets that also have been noted to have characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Named after the mythological creatures known as Centaurs (which were a hybrid of man and horse), their orbits transit the paths of larger planets. Ironically and symbolically, one of the most prominent is Chiron. First discovered in November 1977, Chiron, whose orbital path carries it between Saturn and Uranus, may serve as a kind of cosmic bridge between time and space.
Chiron, in mythology, was a centaur who was known as the ‘wounded healer” who heals others but cannot heal himself. Ultimately, he sacrificed his immortality to give mankind the gift of fire by exchanging himself for Prometheus. Astrologically, Chiron refers to a wounding of trust leaving a wound that will never truly heal. In a natal chart, it can represent the “deepest wound”-representing an insecurity and guilt leading to over compensation of actions in an attempt to “heal”.
Though a newcomer to astrological interpretation, Chiron’s impact may be stronger than we could imagine. Given the approaching tenth anniversary of 9-11, I feel it is important to see what Chiron’s influence may bring.
It goes without saying that 9-11 represents the “deepest wound” that this country has suffered in its history. Even ten years after, the pain and fear of that day is still fresh in the common psyche of the nation which may never totally recede. To say that those events have left us all feeling insecure and trying to overcompensate for what we have lost would be an understatement. More than buildings fell that day as did trust and innocence collapsed as well.
Clearly, Chiron must be looked to see what energies it will bring to 9-11-11. To begin with, Chiron currently resides in Pisces. What this means is that we must work hard to remove the guilt we feel from the events of that day. More to the point, we should not be looking the world over to find others to “save” until we have fixed ourselves first.
Of particular significance is the fact that Chiron is in opposition to the Mercury the Messenger. With the residual effects of the recent Mercury Retrograde still creating difficulties, this placement points to additional communication snafus and misunderstandings. The proverbial “shooting oneself in the foot” certainly is likely when presenting ideas.
What this means to me is that 9-11-11 could mark a period of more misunderstanding on the world stage as to our intentions both political and financial. The shadow of the events of ten years ago may act to cause us to overact to false or misleading actions externally; playing the victim could well turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. While the wound of that day will never fully heal, Chiron does provide support for the sharing of the lessons of healing on all levels with others which, ultimately, can illuminate a path to the future. The stars give their portents; how we choose to heed them is up to each one of us.

Lou’s new book: The Runechest – Available from Amazon.
As then tenth anniversary of 9-11 approaches, I find myself pondering exactly what doors may be opened on that date, the impact that this will bring-both nationally and on the world stage, and what the outcome might be. With announcements that new “credible” threats exist, the growing instability through much of North Africa and the Middle East, and a growing divide at home, this date may be a harbinger for many dramatic events, both in the short and long term.
It seems both fitting and proper to turn to the Runic Oracle to seek counsel on this matter. Although the Oracle is most often used for personal advice, the scope is only limited by the question put to it. My new book, The RuneChest, discusses the Oracle’s history and how to interpret its advice.
The first step in any casting is to pose a question: In this case, the question I have set before the Oracle is: What do we need to know about 9-11-11? I will use the Three Rune Spread. Read right to left, the first rune deals with the here now (think the current state of the matter), the second rune addresses the challenge which must be faced in the matter, and the third rune speaks to the future course of the matter.
Let us begin:
First Rune Hagalaz – This rune symbolizes archetypal and primal energy that disrupts the existing order and causes abrupt change. The term “radical discontinuity” had been used to describe its effect. Hagalaz reflects that energy that seems to be swirling around us, toppling the old and disrupting the existing order. The widening political and philosophical divide in the country is certainly reflected here. Much of what we have taken for granted is being shaken-particularly concerning our place in the world and our financial security. The stage is being set for a karmic wake-up which could strip away the fabric of the world as we know it.
Second Rune Algiz Reversed -This rune in the reversed position speaks to the challenge that we are facing as growth and progress is going to be stymied. How we meet this challenge could well dictate the future of prosperity in this country. This rune cautions that we are vulnerable to a strong negative force which will shake our existing plans. Since the force itself cannot be stopped, how we deal with obstructions and are willing to wait to move ahead when the way is clear.
Third Rune Jera – This rune, the rune of the future path shows that we will reap the “fruits” of our efforts in the past. It also is a gentle reminder of the cycle of birth-death-rebirth. The path ahead again mirrors that which I have written about in other articles, namely that the old and outmoded orders have come to the end of their course and that which is to be harvested (in the literal sense) will be a transformation rather than a continuation.
Taken as a whole, the Oracle counsels that this anniversary will strip away much of the façade that we have been dealing with, particularly in the areas of financial and national security. The reality that we will see will be marked with a lot of negative energy in the near term, yet if we can be patient (not the strongest trait in our national make-up), we will be able to move ahead when the storm clears. Even at that, however, the transformation of these outmoded systems, organization, and even beliefs, will still be dramatic and, like the phoenix, we will be called on to rise from the ashes of the past.
Thus Spake The Runes.

Odin’s Rune and Psychic Readings
Previously, I have written on the astrological outlook for this country based on the progressed natal chart of the USA as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9-11. Yet for psychics and astrologers examining this crucial time is done through many different viewpoints. Much like the old mantra of real estate, an astrological analysis of what may be on the horizon can be all about, location, location, location. It is truly fitting that the location which is the nexus of this study is New York City.
In astrology there are a variety of methods that can be used both for forecasting and analysis of the interactions of people and places. Some of the most common methods are composite, combined and synastry charts. Of the three, the combined, or Davison Chart, seems to be best suited to examine the astrological relationship between the nation’s birthday and the tenth anniversary of one of the penultimate events in our history: 9-11.
What makes the Davison chart unique is that, unlike other progressed or composite charts, its basis is the midpoint between the two dates involved. That midpoint becomes a real point in time which allows the astrologer to treat it as a new birthday where all the aspects, house locations, etc., can be examined just as if it were an individual’s natal chart.
So, what are the significant features of this Davison chart created by taking the date of “birth” of the United States and the tenth anniversary of the moment of first impact on the World Trade Center? Perhaps no other planet carries has much weight and influence in that chart then the Ruler of the Gods, Jupiter.
To begin with, Jupiter is squared to the Sun, Moon, Mercury and the Midheaven. Squares are one of the major astrological aspects and are often an indicator of tension, conflict, strain and disruption. Having this many squares is certainly indicative of the potential for major upheavals both in the personal and national realm. Reality may be distorted by those seeking to profit from people making rash or emotional decisions based in insufficient information.
This could well mean a political response to a situation that is not exactly what it seems ultimately leading to greater difficulties. Illusions (or rather delusions) of grandeur could result in some hasty and regrettable decisions. More military involvement, another ill-timed financial scandal, or something more sinister concerning self-indulgent actions could be on the horizon to achieve a form of transient popularity.
It should be remembered that Pluto still is retrograde in Capricorn. This also marks a time of transition. The basic way we live could well begin to change in a dramatic fashion. That which has outlived its time will fall; the “Arab Spring” and the increasing clamor around the European Union and its finances are but two examples of this transformative energy.
In this Davison chart, Pluto resides in the 12th house. Traditionally, this is the House that governs large institutions like banks and governments. Hidden matters and hidden enemies reside here. This, too, is the house of self-undoing. Conversely, it is also the house of enlightenment. Clearly, the Dark Lord will be making his transformative nature known, though the long term effects may not appear outside the curtain.
It would seem that the potential for a life-altering experience either on or beginning on September 11, 2011 is high. Political, international and financial forces all appear on a collision course with fate with our very perspective and future path being the outcome.
While I have not stressed the impact of these energies on personal relationships, I would counsel that it is so important to take that moment to breathe before making any decisions, positive or negative, on affairs of the heart.
Above all, the key to weathering the rapids ahead is to balance the emotional compass with the intellectual one. This is not an easy task when heart and mind compete for dominance as will be the nature of things in this near future. Those who watch the stars and consult the forces of the universe will be ready to provide what aid they can. The future awaits all of us as the mystery unfolds.

Astrology: July 4th – 9-11 The USA’s Birthday Progression
Astrology as Predicted is Happening

We are less than a day from the ten year anniversary of one of the most tragic and profound moments in the history of this country: The attacks of 9-11 and the destruction of the World Trade Center. In recent articles, I have talked about the relationship that the country itself as to the events of that day, and the astrological relationships on the horizon and the blending of this country’s origin with the location of Ground Zero on September 11th, 2011.
Like other esoteric practitioners and astrologers, I have studied the upcoming anniversary from multiple angles. No astrological analysis would be complete, though, without focusing on the epicenter for that tumultuous day in New York City. Truly, this upcoming ten year mark will bring a “New York state of mind” to all of us.
The stars and planets, too, have their tale to tell. Looking at the progressed chart for New York City for September 11, 2011, one is struck by the curious absence of astrological aspects. There are only conjunctions between the Sun and Mercury and the Sun and Midheaven and a lonely conjunction between the Midheaven and Mercury. Although these are the only aspects on that day (there is a minor aspect known as a quintile as well, making a grand total of 4 aspects in the chart), the significance cannot be overlooked.
The Sun-Midheaven conjunction denotes the beginning or the end of a cycle, one has but to look at the financial and political aspects in the country to see that this could well commence on that day. This is when the proverbial chickens come home to roost from the patterns which are now coming to a close, whether the eggs laid are golden or toxic, remain to be seen.
The conjunction with Mercury focuses on the fact that we will need knowledge, both from inner and external sources, to truly comprehend what is occurring and, more to the point, how to move forward with this understanding. The Sun-Mercury conjunction strengthens our ability to handle stress in spite of our feelings of being overwhelmed. Given the potential of life-altering events in the political and financial arenas, this ability may well be needed by all.
When a combined in a synastry chart, or Davison chart is calculated however, the picture becomes clearer. For this combined chart, I used the date of New York City’s founding-August 29th, 1664 and the 9-11-11 anniversary date. Much like the Davison chart which I cast using the U.S. date of birth and the tenth anniversary, mighty Jupiter takes center stage.
There are no fewer than found oppositions in this chart involving the King of the Gods, Jupiter; the Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus all find themselves opposite the largest of the planets. With the Sun, the desire to make promises that can’t be kept and being pretentious can cause issues. The opposition with Venus can cause over emotional responses to personal issues while the Martian and Uranus oppositions show loses through speculation, gambling, and over-indulgence. Clearly, these aspects combined point to a serious financial crisis marking the anniversary and, truly, putting this country under a different kind of attack.
One other piece of the astrological puzzle is that in this combined chart, Jupiter resides in the tenth house on 9-11. This is the house which governs karmic resolutions as well as government and political aims. Look for the rise (or resurgence) of a political agenda as an emotional response to the events of the anniversary. Ultimately, karma will be served although it may leave a bitter taste in the mouths of some.
It has not been my purpose or desire to be an online herald of doom. However, these relationships and forecasts are ultimately part of the path that we all tread. Through knowledge of their probability of occurring, we can strengthen ourselves for even the most extreme results. And, to paraphrase Mr. Joel once more, resilience and survival are truly the essence of “A New York State of Mind”.

Centaurs and 9-11 A Touch of Chiron
Costa Concordia Iceberg, What Iceberg?
Arguably, two of the most seminal dates in the history of the United States are July 4th and September 11th. As we approach the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 events, it is important to examine the astrological impact of the progression of the natal chart of the United Stated to September 11th, 2011 to provide both an understanding of where we are and, more importantly, where we are heading.
Why choose those two dates? While the former is the point in time when the U.S. came to be, the later certainly has become the hallmark that forever changed the course of our collective history and will continue to do so into the future.
At the risk of oversimplifying, a “progression” is the theory that the planets will advance one degree per year with the underlying proposition that a degree is equal to a day and a day is equal to a year. Using this approach, the astral march begins on July 4th, 1776 and completes its progressed path on September 11th, 2011. Using what is referred to as the Silbey Chart, the place of our country’s birth is the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, and the “time of birth” is 5:10 p.m.
By examining the progressed chart, we can see how we have arrived at this particular point with the myriad of issues that we are confronting: the financial morass that globally we are stuck in; the ever-increasing political, social, and personal divide that seems to grow with each passing news cycle; cataclysmic events (meteorological, geological and manmade) that confront us all, to mention but a few.
Looking at the planets first, we find that Mercury’s path shows that we are in a time when feelings trump rational thought in our responses to major issues. One has but to look at the recent debacle in Washington to underscore this trend. Venus progressed cautions against attempting to force or smother others with our views. Again, a glance at the internet is all that is needed to see this in action.
Powerful speakers will be competing with Martian energy to win hearts and minds. But, in the middle of the rhetoric and imagery, ultimately, nothing can be accomplished without accord. Jupiter’s path shows excess in actions that may be more harmful than good. Saturn reinforces the inflexibility of competing ideals and the inability to comprise while Uranus gets ready to deliver a jolt to complacency and forces a look to tomorrow.
Neptune reveals accusations from all corners that no one is willing to “put their money where their mouth is”. And the Dark Lord, Pluto? Plutonian energies are pushing one and all to a “do or die” mentality in making their point of view/philosophy/doctrine the one that matters.
Looked at in totally, September 11th, 2011 could mark some significant changes going forward. With strong emotions driving decision making, there is a great concern that impulsive actions or decisions, particularly in the political arena, could spell further difficulties in the financial realm. Both sides need to listen and heed society’s larger viewpoint rather than placing themselves above the crowd.
The need for teamwork is especially stressed; a major opportunity is liable to be missed in the name of ideology. There is a concern that the big picture; most likely in the international sphere may cause a failure to take care of mundane things at home. Finances, again, are front and center and the lack of real world perspective from all sides and could result in a major downturn.
Expect external forces to cause a further polarization of attitudes on all levels. Everyone wants to maintain the status quo but only at the expense of others. This makes planning for the future extremely daunting. It will seem that we are being tossed, literally, from pillar to post. Passionate speeches and rhetoric will dominate the news and only serve to fuel the discontent. Some institutions that were viewed as permanent could well come to an end.
Truly, the tenth anniversary of 9-11 will mark a dramatic time in our history. The heavens turn and change comes. More to the point, the progressed chart for the U.S. provides a unique, if unsettling clarification of the role that we will play in this cosmic dance.

6 Tips to Keep Your Relationship on Track During Mercury Retrograde
Summer 2011 Astrology Predictions
The U.S.A.’s Natal Chart Astrological Conundrum
PsychicCosmos © 2009
1. New York City has 11 letters
2. Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3. Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4. George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1. New York is the 11th state.
2. The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3. Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4. Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11
5.. The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
6. The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
Sheer coincidence..? Read on and make up your own mind:
1. The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was.254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2. September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3. The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4. The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book: “For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Now how do you feel? I’d say, that is quite a few ‘coincidences’ – wouldn’t you? Of course, if you live in one of these types of desert environments with nothing to do all day………just saying……..voices from beyond, that is for sure! I found this definitely note worthy with a touch of the paranormal thrown in.
Wonder what Nostradamus would have to say about this!
