Transitions: Closing Out and Opening Up Energy

 As many of us are becoming more aware of the energy that is all around us - the chi, qi, life-force, the juju- whatever you want to call it each and every one of use has our own unique energetic imprint that we bring with us wherever we go. This energetic imprint can be influenced by our mental and emotional state at the time, physical health,  and overall satisfaction with life.

This energetic imprint that people carry can also stay bound to objects such as: homes, jewelry, and even cars, just to name a few.  Most of the time energetic imprints are pretty benign and most people won't notice a disrupt  in the flow of energy in a thing, however sometimes it can and individuals like myself notice it!

The most significant experiences I've had with closing out and neutralizing of energies is in relation to home buying and selling.
Home buying and selling can be a stressful experience,wonderful,financially overwhelming experience and overall a mixture of emotions! Truly an ultimate a time of Transitions.
 My first experience with a major Transitional period was when my parents separated when I was 15. They put our beautiful suburban home on the market. Much to my mother's dismay the home was having trouble selling. There was an element of financial stress involved as my parents hoped that they would be able to get the price for the home they were asking for, and of course the emotional attachment we had to our home and the ending of their marriage, it was a bitter-sweet time for everyone.
 Before I was consciously sensitive to energy and energetic imprints, like most families my parents assumed the house just wouldn't sell because it just wasn't happening.  Eventually, the house did end up selling however it maybe could have sold faster if we had done our part and closed our family's energy out from the home and allowing the energetic space to become neutral so a new energetic could be made by a new family. My family and I never understood that the energetic residues of others could actually deter others away from a perfectly beautiful home.

In 2008 I began to explore about "intuitive stuff" and one day had a made a visit to a metaphysical bookstore. I honestly don't remember why I decided to buy a book about Saging ceremonies and rituals just that I was drawn to pick up and read the book.

Fast forward a few years later to 2013 my mother had just retired and was putting her townhome on the market to retire to the Maui. Now my mom had this incredible for trait for saving everything. So when it came time to get her cost estimate for the container to ship all of her stuff to Hawaii including her car, she realized she could do without 30 boxes of Christmas decorations and could reduce back to four. As a result, my mom spent much of the year sorting, giving away, packing, boxes and boxes of just stuff. Despite her efforts to clear and pack, my mom still had a lot of anxiety about moving, getting the price she asked for, and every and any other worst case scenarios she could imagine around moving.
So, it occurred to me to giving Saging a thought decided to give saging a shot, I didn't think much of it just that maybe if I saged the house it would help her feel better and being an empath her anxiety was beginning to rub off on me too!
 My mom had left to run some errands, but I had received her permission, so that's all I needed to get started. I lit the sage and I simply centered myself with some deep breaths. As a began to center myself, the feelings of gratitude overwhelmed me. I'm not sure how else to describe it but the essence of our home simply requested we just say "thank you"for all it provided us- shelter, good memories, protection, and growth- I said thank you several times to myself and out loud, and more importantly I said thank you from my heart. I went and proceeded to sage. I saged with the intent of closing out our families energy. I walked through the home with the intent 'Neutralizing' all of our energies that we brought with us including the dog, and more importantly that the home be found by its new owners. I had a gut feeling that this would be a family with children, or maybe that it what the home wanted.  As I began to say a closing prayer, the home even felt different- cleaner and more clear.
My mom's house went on market the next day. The home sold in 4 days and purchased by a family with three children.

Futhermore, energy can be closed out and 'neutralized' and good intent set  with Sage in many other situations as well:

-The ending of relationships particularly the ending of a marriage or live-in significant other. The saging process can help assist in bringing about eventual forgiveness and gratitude, key ingredients to moving on and eventually being open to meeting someone new.
-Roomshares or roommates, particularly if many different people have inhabited one room, a room can be cleansed so the energy is open to another individual to feel more comfortable and feel more at home. If having trouble finding a new roomate saging to clear out the former roomate's energetic imprint.
-  Selling or buying a new car. Saging the car with highest intention, good, and safety for the new owner, or when buying a new car off the lot- saging with the intention of gratitude and safety.
 - Nursery for a new baby. Obviously open the windows and never sage while baby is in the room as sage can be very pungent in smell. 
- Moving into a new apartment/house. 
- Moving on negative or disruptive spirits to the other side.
 - Place of business, whether closing, selling, or opening a new business.



As I've written in a previous blog post setting the intention is everything. Waving the stick around won't do much, so it is vitally important to be in a centered state really focusing on what one wants to achieve with the closing of old energies and openings of new ones!

Snow Day?Really Bored? So Are We. Lift the Boredom with Regression

Recently much has been coming out on television about past-lives, particularly children recalling who they were in past-lives, even if these lives children lived was just 10 years ago! 

Interestingly, there are two types of persons drawn to past-lives. First, people who thinks past-lives are really cool and want to find out who they were right away with enthusiasm! Or there are other clients in the school of thought who are simply just scared or confused or skeptical on how and where this fits into their belief system, the interesting part of this is that both camps tend to still ask the SAME questions: 

“Do past-lives really exist?”- In my opinion, yes.

 “What’s the proof?” – Case studies

“Does/Can everyone have past-lives?” –I think so yes. Exceptions do occur*

“How does this fit in with many of the religious beliefs and foundations I’ve been taught or raised with since I was young?”- However you want to.

 “What does this mean about the and my soul?” – Not sure to be honest. Not a theologian and whatever you feel comfortable having it mean.

“Am I really ME if my soul has been in other times or been other people?”- Yes.

“How do we know these kids just don’t have active imaginations and are making stuff up?” Because they’re “imaginations” are validated with facts, facts they never could have been or could comprehend at their developmental brain level. Case Example: Google the James Leininger Case.

 

And more importantly for my fellow hypnotist and clients “How and why does hypnotic regression help clients release these past-lives and even present-life traumas and repetitive patterns? How soon can the results be seen?  

I won’t address any of the soul-stuff because honestly I think everyone will come down to their own conclusion of past-lives anyway. I’m not a theologian or philosopher however there are other text out there that shed more light on the journey of the soul, soul creation, etc which you can find on my website at www.operationhighervibrations.com

1.     Meredith, Do Past-Lives Really Exist? What is the Proof?

In my belief, yes past-lives absolutely exist. I’m not here to prove to you that past-lives exist or don’t exist, however just to address some of the important questions when past-lives come up in conversation with a friend or even a potential client.  I view past-lives as memories on a soul level. Often times our soul-memories leave little bread-crumbs of clues, so the only way I can really address this question is by offering my own experience of a past-life.

Clue 1- As a child, I often felt at “home” and very comfortable in certain places such as colonial Williamsburg, or reading and watching movies about certain historical time periods. To illustrate, my dad loves and still loves to watch westerns with John Wayne. I, on the other hand, loathe westerns and often times as a child would leave the room because I felt a very strong sense of injustice and anger toward the cowboys in the movies usually accompanies by strong tightness in my gut and throat. Even in playing as a kid, I rarely wanted to be a cowboy. When the film Dances with Wolves came out I was enamored and for a 5 year old loved the movie and made my dad watch it with me again and again.

Clue 2- A few years ago, I would find myself being in a perfectly good mood driving down the road in La-la land when this sense of rage and anger would take over my thoughts. I suddenly would become aggressive and very angry, for no apparent reason. It could be a perfectly bright, sunny day, with zero traffic and I would still feel this way. A few weeks went by like this and it began occurring every day. It became scary, I didn’t feel like I was going to harm anyone or myself for that matter- but I didn’t understand the sudden onset. It did become troubling though since I’m usually a pretty happy person.

Clue 3- Childbirth terrified me. No literally just the birth. It wasn’t the physical pain element that is often associated with birth but the actual ACT itself. And in addition to that was holding babies. Yup, holdin’ babies. Holding babies is nice for most people but for me at the time whenever I held my friend’s babies I would feel strong sadness well up inside of me, instead of the longing and baby craving that most women have. So, I only held a baby unless a friend absolutely insisted, or I held them until the sadness came which was usually a minute in, in which case I handed them back over to their respective parent.

Now at the the time my main concern was the rage all the other clues were just completely isolated to my mind at the time and really never game them any thought.

But my main concern was the rage. Having already being certified in past-life regressions, I thought, “Wait I’m a regressionist by training, duh regress to the cause/answer/root!” Employing the help of a fellow regressionist and friend we were able to dig to the bottom of the rage.

Now, at this point in time most of my past-life memories were all pleasant ones.

The Root of the Rage

Even today recounting my experience of this past-life is an emotional one.  I saw myself in chains, I was a young native American girl about 12-14 years of age with long dark hair being led by men on horseback and systematically marched. Although in chains and feeling a sense of loss but also a strong sense of familiarity because behind me was a familiar energy from this present-day life!- My very own sister, she too being walked in chains behind me. The hypnotist moved forward to the next significant event, I sensed it was farther north either close or IN Canada. I was the same girl but older now, 16/17 and very very pregnant and running through the woods. At first it looked gleeful but as I looked closer, it was fear, she was being chased by dogs and running for her life-pregnant. I sensed that she was trying to run away from something obviously the dogs but something bigger than that. The regressionist moved me forward again, I/the girl was flat on her back, tied by her feet and hands, giving birth in a cabin. The cabin was placed in the woods but as I saw other children standing outside listening to the screams. The birth was painful, loud, and very bloody. In her last few moments of life, she saw her baby being picked up and carried away. She never got to hold the baby, name it, or even see its face. The baby would be raised in this place with other children The girl died of hemorrhaging and blood loss. The sense of rage she experienced during her entire birth toward her captors was amplified. Ultimately it was the sense of, “How could another human being do this to another?” The session was wrapped up with forgiveness and emotional release modules and I was brought out of the hypnotic state.

When I put both feet on the ground in this life so many dots became connected.

This past life was emotional, traumatic, and I cried A LOT.  However it explained my loathing of western movies and anything remotely of that time era that was not Native American , the sadness that took over me when I held a baby, and the rage- Benefit- knocked 3 birds without even intending too! I left my regression session with more than just an answer but also healing on a soul-level.

The days afterward I felt lighter, I was able to smile and hold babies with no sadness, and the rage episodes have ceased completely. I felt a stronger sense of self, peace, and personal identity.

Prior to my regression, I knew very little about Native American History other than what I had been taught in 4^th grade Social Studies which only addressed the basics of Native tribes on the East Coast. After a bit of digging on the internet, from what I experienced in the past-life was my sister and I being marched on what we now know as the Trail of Tears, the girl was later sent to the notorious re-education schools for native children where often systematic abuse occurred and often times these children were stripped from their mothers at birth. And these schools were found in Canada.

And funnily enough it also explained my sister’s recent PhD declaration in Indigenous Studies at the time. 

How Can We Get All this Information In a Session?

#1 Record. The hypnotist guiding you is actively engaged usually will/should record your regression portion.

#2- Information Gathering on Part of the Hypnotist

The hypnotist/guide plays detective. It is the hypnotist part to ask as questions that gather important information in the hypnotic state- For example if your hypnotist ask, “What are you wearing? “Okay you’re wearing a dress. Is this a dress you bought or made?”

What year does it feel like?

 Are you wearing shoes? If so what kind of shoes?

What do you do for a living?

 “What are you doing?” and the client responds, “Gathering corn.” The hypnotist needs to ask questions like, “ What is the purpose of gathering corn? Do you own the corn? Does someone else own it?”

By asking questions like these and in this manner You can find out the person’s social class, we’re they rich or poor, we’re they self-sufficient or completely dependent on another person,

#3 It Happens In A Snapshot or Quick Image Blip.

Having experienced being the client so much happens when in Regression. Some clients experience the regression as the first person- they are the ones walking, talking, smelling and experiencing it “in body”. Some clients are more second person- they watch the life like watching a movie. Other clients experience both at once- popping in and out of person they were in past-life. Watching one moment but then feeling themselves walking or running next. If the life is past-life or a present trauma and is particularly heavy or maybe even scary- I move the client to watch farther away like watching a Drive-In movie.

Can Everyone Have/Had Past-Lives?  Old souls vs. Young souls?

Yes and No. I think most people walking amongst us today have had past-lives here on Earth as a human soul whether they’re consciously aware of it or not. I think some of us are more drawn to regression or the metaphysical/woo-woo  than others because they’re souls are ready and calling for a conscious awakening to remember! And upon remembering- heal, clear out the dense stuff, and move forward.

However exceptions do occur. In my opinion, there are people who do not have a past-lives because THIS is their first life-time being human on a soul level. Meredith, Are you saying what I think you’re saying? And I’m saying yes, there are people who are what we would coin as “ETs”. They’re not ‘aliens’ in the sense of X-files- for point of reference souls who are energetic beings from other dimensions coming out to try earth. It sounds out there BUT its occurred in my office and its fascinating! It’s like being an exchange student… on another planet. 

Often times these are ‘young’ souls. These are people who we’ve often seen who maybe never have a grip on their finances, they don’t understand the concept of money, and generally HAVE TO TRY EVERYTHING including the dangerous stuff life has to offer- and I’m not just talking about a “phase” But All. The. Time. No matter what they’re age.  And the funny thing is they are usually the kindest people and often behave quite naïvely, no matter their age! We all know someone like this.

From a regression point of view, these are often souls who just haven’t practiced being human or they’ve only been human on a soul level maybe a few lifetimes. That’s not to say this makes them free of covering their necessary responsibilities of every-day life, but I hope gives a deeper understanding into explaining their general naivety and innocence in just not “getting it together”.  To an old soul, Young souls often tend to have A LOT of energy all the time and A LOT enthusiasm all the time-about everything- it’s like a permanent life cheerleader. 

Conversely, Old souls, like myself, are kind of just over this human thing and even just the ‘everyday stuff’, we get tired of dealing in the details-we’ve been there done that A LOT!

For example, I have always had a strong resistance to getting dressed, picking out clothes, and matching outfits. I attributed it to being a bit of tom-boy growing up but as I’ve transitioned into adulthood it hasn’t gone away. 

If I could just wear a uniform every day I totally would (I’m sure I had a military past-life since I love the concept of uniforms, so convenient and easy!) Shopping is tedious and overwhelming for me.  Same with styling my hair. If I could, I would just throw it up in a bun every day. Imagine spending hundreds of lifetimes having to pick out clothes and style your hair, you would eventually get sick of the daily routine too!

Another example of an old soul, is a young woman who is about 20. Unlike most of her peers, she’s very content writing poetry. Her writing is soulful and hits so deeply that you would think by reading it she was at least 100 years old. Instead of going out she prefers to stay home on a Friday night with her family. By our society standards her peers would consider her a ‘homebody’, but she’s an old soul whose already spent several lifetimes doing the “party phase”- her soul has “been there done that”, so to speak and is no longer feels the urge to relive those experiences for this lifetime. 

When do I know when to use regress to root? How do I prepare clients for a regression?  About 1/4 of clients come for regression because they’re excited to explore past-lives. The other 3/4 of clients come because they say, “I keep repeating x pattern, thought, behavior/”

X pattern has usually been something along the lines of a repetitive pattern or behavior that has not responded to suggestive hypnosis, or they swing between extremes. 

Examples below:

-         Constant anxiety or fear

-         Attracting the same romantic partners, different faces and names but same energy.

-         Being wealthy then struggling financially more than several times- constant extremes.

-          “I feel like  something is missing”

-         “I have everything but I’m still not happy.”

-         “I need to move forward but I’m not sure where to start”

-         Incessant old beliefs that are holding them back. “I’ve lost the weight but I still think I’m over-weight.”

-         “Nothing I do is ever enough.” (Common belief among first generation migrants or children of)

In approaching the above with a regress to the root/cause/answer we are able to put the client in the driver seat of the problem. By getting themselves “out of the way” so speak with hypnosis we can more readily address the subconscious mind which in my belief holds all of the answers past, present, and even future.

 The Keys to Success in Regression is Readiness.

Readiness is best established when

1) The client is ready to make the change. This applies to any kind of hypnosis suggestive or regressive.

2) The client is open, ready, and willing to the regression process and wants answers! Yay!

3) Most importantly they trust you! Sufficient and Genuine rapport has been built between you and your client.

4) I often suggest a “prep” session of relaxation prior to the regression session. Usually about a week before. Or even better and more cost effective for your client- giving  your client a pre-recorded relaxation session to listen to prior to seeing you- 1)Your client understands and becomes comfortable with the general hypnotic process, your voice and your energy. As a result wins all around-  1) Client is prepared for this regression process 2) You have saved them time and money, and as a result 3) Better trust is built between you and client.

And How and Why does Hypnotic regression help clients release these past-lives and even present-life ’wounds’?

From my own experience with clients the reason regression hypnosis delivers such therapeutic like results is because the energy that is often times holding clients back is indeed from the past- this life or past or BOTH- clients are sometimes aware its past stuff but often times it’s just a hunch, a hunch that is really their soul saying “Hey! I’m ready to clear some crap! And replace it with some positive light!”

By Experiencing or even just seeing the past wounding in a hypnotic state allows the client to see it from a different perspective literally and figuratively, and with a variety of healing modules such as inner child coaching/blending, release of anger, guilt, or sadness to the white light, just to name a few- the client has actively removed and cleared dense energy therefore communicating to the mind, body, and spirit that there has been a release. The release allows for new space to be made for the new positive suggestions to create more positive future oriented patterns in thought or behavior. 

Client and Hypnotist Post- Regression Protocol

How soon can the results be seen? Results can be seen pretty immediately.

How long should I book a regression session? I block two hours for intake and post session recap. Regressions should be done as your last appointment of the day, or a Sunday, a day where things are more mellow for your client.

What should they do after a regression session? I recommend most clients to do a subsequent session of suggestive hypnosis to move the client forward usually a week later. They should go home afterward and REST. If the regression was particularly emotionally intense they should go home immediately, take an Epsom salt bath, rest, avoid any violent TV shows or news for a few days, and drink plenty of water. They will need time to process the experience physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. That being said, If you’re client has a big event coming up like a job interview, wedding, or presentation they should wait till after for their regression especially if it’s an intense topic that is being explored such traumatic childhood event of abuse. Not every client needs rest or will be so blown away by their regression, but it’s better for client and hypnotist to prepared for anything  to arise during a regression. No one walks to walk down the aisle or be in a make/break interview with their inner child trauma still fresh in their mind!

Past Lives And The Stars: Yes They're Crossed!

A lot of people have asked me what is the value of a horoscope? Couldn't these things just be general "things" that apply to anyone? And is that stuff even real? Or, somethings are true but somethings just don't sound like me at all, Or I can determine my own fate! I don't need the stars to determine who I am! While all of these statements are valid and true..

First, most of the time the horoscope you are most familiar IS  just your sun sign by itself, and people ARE correct, your sun-sign alone cannot encapsulate your entire personality! An astrological chart won't tell you what to do, but it may point out the patterns and tendencies you partake in regularly that are either beneficial or not so beneficial for you.

For example, previous to having my chart done I never understood that although I'm an Aquarius by Sun-Sign which is often seen as a free-spirited and independent sign, when it came to romance I tended to partner very easily and feel like a completely different person in relationships- I often  thought maybe their is something wrong with me, or do I hold some codependent tendencies? Why do I turn into a huge sap?

Well, my questions we're answered when I had my chart interpreted. After analyzing my chart, Joan found that my Venus was in Pisces.  Venus rules romantic relationships and also interpersonal connections. So basically I'm a super aloof air sign with a super emotional and feeling sign when in love- quite contrary to my aloof and independent Aquarian mannerisms! Talk about feeling like two different people!

Astrological Charts can be complex with all the planets, conjunctions, angles, and other stuff that just makes my mind twirl and eyes cross- which is why the universe put me in the path of my good friend and colleague  Joan Porte.  Joan Porte is a karmic astrologer. Although she can interpret your chart for romance compatibility and just for YOU in general. She is also able to tell from your chart where your soul is coming from and where your soul's journey is going for this lifetime. Joan simply analyzes your South Node and North Node. Joan was kind enough to provide a first-hand look at karmic astrology and how it works! 

Personal Testimonial: I know for fact that I left from my chart interpretation feeling more reassured of who I am and what my soul was meant to do for this lifetime! Also I learned always listen to your astrologer in regards to romance!

Also astrological charts make great holiday gifts! 

By Joan Porte 

South Node

As an evolutionary astrologer, the first thing I look for when I start a chart interpretation is the nodal axis. This is the line between the North and the South Nodes. These nodes are actually invisible markings on the Moon where the orbit of the Moon crosses the ecliptic, the path of the planets around the Sun and the Sun’s path on the celestial sphere. I know that can be confusing, but do you remember when you learned about the Earth’s axis in grade school? The Earth rotates around the Sun on that invisible line. Well, the Moon’s nodes are a similar axis. However, for those of us born on Earth, those nodes pack a wealth of knowledge about our past lives and where our soul is looking to progress in this lifetime.

The South Node indicates our karmic past, the influences from those past lives playing out in this lifetime. We will see natural tendencies – things that come easily – in the South Node but also “karmic addictions.”

The North Node indicates where the universe is pushing us to move…where we should be going in this lifetime. Nothing tells me more about someone’s personality, their roadblocks and their karmic gifts then interpreting the Nodes, the rulers of those Nodes and aspects they make to other planets.

When President Obama launched his presidential bid on a freezing February morning at the Old State Capitol Springfield, Illinois where Lincoln delivered the famous “house divided against itself speech” was he just employing brilliant political stagecraft or was he subconsciously harking back to his own “mystic cords of memory?” It was a bit of both. I was always intrigued with the idea that Obama was the reincarnated soul of Abraham Lincoln. What better way to finish his work so terribly cut short then by becoming the first African American President?

It is of interest that both Lincoln and Barack Obama came to national awareness from a political base in Illinois. (Although Obama achieved something Lincoln never could, that is, win a seat in the United States Senate. Lincoln tried for the Senate and was defeated twice. He came to the White House after serving just one term in the U.S. House of Representatives to a chorus of his opponents foretelling the dire consequences of having a novice at the helm at such a dangerous time.) The fact that one transformational speech propelled each to prominence, Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention, Lincoln at the 1860 Young Men’s Republican Union at Cooper Union Hall is also informative. However, evolutionary Astrology relies on more than just “coincidences” between two figures. Without strong correlations between their charts, without a soul connection, we have nothing more than a list of interesting factoids. #. The proof must be in the stars and their birth charts.

Abraham Lincoln was born on a stormy Sunday morning, February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville, Kentucky around 2:00 AM.  President Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 PM (see charts below.)

President Obama’s South Node would need to correlate to Lincoln’s life force with either his Sun or rising sign energy. It does not disappoint. His South Node is in Aquarius in the first house. Abraham Lincoln born on Feb 12 had his Sun in Aquarius. Therefore, his South Node – Barack’s immediate past life force was in Aquarius – correlating exactly to Lincoln’s Sun energy. He was in his immediate past life a person who was born under the Sun sign of Aquarius. That is two direct connections to Abraham Lincoln. Adding an extra connection is it’s placement in the first house. The first house is what has the most influence on our personality- it shows how we project in the world. Someone with a strong first house is someone with a unique personality. Well he has been dead for over 150 years and everyone still knows who Lincoln was. I would say that is pretty darn unique!

Can we reverse the process and look at Lincoln’s North Node to find another correlation with President Obama? We can and it too works. Lincoln’s North Node is in Scorpio, and on President Obama's chart, Scorpio "opens" the 10th house - the house of government and authority figures. Lincoln’s soul was progressing toward a Scorpio experience. Lincoln’s North Node was in the 11th house – the house dealing with cultivating unique and revolutionary group activities in the social and political arenas. It is safe to say that his soul using the Obama existence is getting to know what is like to move people in a revolutionary group force to change government. He held the Union together now he wants to continue by bringing much needed change to the way it operates.

Just as President Lincoln had a very strong third house – the house of mental ability and communication, President Obama has a powerful conjunction of Vesta, Ceres and the Moon there. This placement signifies the ability to dedicate the self to nurturing people through his ability to express himself emotionally.

These factors when added to the similarities and coincidences joining each man’s life, including the early loss of a Mother and distance from a father, spell out a soul connection. President Obama has Saturn in the 12th house as did Lincoln but its conjunction with expansive optimistic Jupiter mitigates its more negative aspects. He also shares Mars in the eighth with Lincoln, which does not make me happy. However, it is in a less volatile sign of Virgo and there is no negative interception with Uranus.

It is amusing to see that this time around Obama got a Harvard education. It was one of Abraham Lincoln’s great shames that he had a backwoods education so much, so that he forced his eldest son Robert, to go to Harvard and Harvard Law School, although he did not finish the latter. One of the many battles Robert had with his parents was over there constant pressure to get the education not available to them. Barack made it to Harvard Law School and became the first African American President of the “Harvard Law Review.”

Their North and South nodes correlate perfectly. Barack Obama has the karmic benefit of the education Lincoln craved and an even stronger communication house in an incarnation at the time of mass and instant media. He also thankfully has Venus, the archetype of the ancient goddess of love and beauty in the5th house in Moon Child a much less ominous placement than Lincoln’s warrior god of Mars. It is no wonder Barack Obama dreamed of being President when he was in kindergarten. He was cannot wait to get back to work.
