I was first introduce to astrology when I was a teen. It seems both intriguing to me and simplistically mathematical. At the time, I was in every honors math class that my high school could offer. Eventually, in later years I realized that different systems of astrology made differences in prediction and personality, and some could be considered less accurate while others more. In my early 20's, I was introduced to both the Cards of Destiny system of midpoint astrology, Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), and Human Design. My yoga instructor training which took place in Encinitas CA near the famous site of Paramahansa Yogananda's Temple and Gardens was located (and area locally called "Swami's") introduced me to Vedic Astrology. Due to the intensity of my classes, I learned about Jyotish for the first time from Ernst Willholm who would later prove to be influential as a teacher and truthsayer. In fact around age 25, I was again exposed to one of Ernst's students by...

Friends, As an adult, I had never been to Las Vegas, Nevada before (commonly referred to as Sin City). Wow! Wah! What a city and what an experience! I've learned more about life, people and this City (perhaps even the nature of city dwellers), in this week in Las Vegas than I've learned over the course of 7 years. I'm actually still here. Any I've still got about the same money I started with, this means that I've won enough to eat and drink and be merry (because that costs a pretty penny here).  So, I first brought up the idea of Lucky Astrology for Gambling about a year ago and this summer 2012, I actually started implementing it. In Phoenix AZ, and expanding out globally from there, I started training friends to use Lucky and Fortunate planets for winning speculative things like betting. Considering that there has been the most success in short periods of time thus far [under precise conditions and specific days] I see progress. We've started simply wit...

Dear New Friends in Phoenix and Tempe, We just had a very busy week. Personally, work weekends through Wednesday and am having a wonderful time with my new home, job and business in Tempe. I never really knew much about Mill Ave and ASU until week before last. Another new thing for me is the orbit bus system with all of it's planetary names. I found myself asking fellow riders about their birthdays and held one conversation in which I went so far as to purpose the idea that the first days of Mercury Retrograde would likely be the days when the "Orbit Mercury" bus has the most issues with it's normal route. We may never know, but there is one thing for sure: Mercury is returning to normal from now to Dec. 19th. 2012. It's still in the awkward phase after being in "retrograde." So if you didn't know about retrogrades now is the time to learn but first understand the term "direct." A planet goes or is "direct" when it's t...

Dear Phoenix Residents, This post announces our newest classes and location in the heart of downtown historic district of Phoenix Arizona. Please come to our Numerology/Cards of Destiny event on November 27th, 2012 at 6pm-9pm. Contact 619-663-4844 for more reservation info. We'll be gathering at the Burton Burr Central Library at 6pm which is located 1221 North Central, Phoenix AZ. 85007 Personally I was introduced to the Cards of Destiny a long time ago, well about 6 years ago, and I was quite tickled to learn that I was a Jack of Hearts in the system. Oddly enough my card is fixed and doesn't progress the same way that other cards do within the system. I was told by our newest edition to the Astrology team that this card is fairly lucky even though it's often associated with Sacrificial Love. _Hugh T Alchemy WakingWithin@gmail.com  AlchemyZ.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= How much faith do you have in astrology?

The following has been shared with me through Facebook. I know that it's a little long but I felt amazing and changed after reading this. Additionally, I had a recent dream about studying the Dagara Tradition and  it's very funny/weird that someone shared this with me. Hugh T Alchemy _______________________________ What a Shaman Sees in A Mental Hospital In the shamanic view, mental illness signals “the birth of a healer,” explains Malidoma Patrice Somé. Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born. What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as “good news from the other world.” The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm. “Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into th...
