THE BACK DOORS OF YOUR NATAL CHART

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

GREETINGS FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA! I'M STILL HERE!

Every morning before I start my day, I bring my Natal Chart up on the computer screen and stare at it. I'm looking for anything. Reading a Natal Chart is just like reading X-rays, MRI's, CTs or other advanced imaging. There is a protocol that is used so that nothing is missed. I pull up my Natal Chart and make a mental note of all my 'givens'. The 'givens' are the things that I already know about me. Just like when reading films, there are 'givens' such as patient history, laboratory tests, etc. As the puzzle starts coming together there is a 'differential diagnosis' where the doctor (radiologist or neuro-radiologist) differentiates one disease or condition from another taking into account what is seen on the film coupled with the 'givens' thereby ruling out certain possibilities along the way and coming up with what is called an "Impression". I did my externship in Neuro-Radiology, which is why I dig on this sort of thing. So . . I do the same thing when reading my Natal Chart every morning. And when reading your Natal Chart, I use what I see on the screen coupled with my intuition to pull your 'givens' out of the ethers.

Interestingly enough, as I was reading my Natal Chart this morning I noticed something that I do, that I had not previously noticed. My eyes go directly to the blue lines. This goes in alignment with my natural positive thinking mind and often times infectious optimism. In all of the Natal Charts that I write, I put all of the sextile and trine lines in blue. These sextile and trine lines are easy and effortless energy; trines being the easiest. The most challenging lines, those being squares, I always put in red. And then the semi-challenging lines are in green.

I have one square (red line) in particular in my Natal Chart that I am set on overcoming and conquering. This morning, once again I saw my eyes go directly to the blue lines and then it hit me. I can use the red square in question to my advantage if I use the blue trine line that is touching it. AND I have another blue trine line option coming from a completely different direction. I'm circling the wagons! I thought, "Well son-of-a-gun, I'm going in the back door baby! . . . You! Blue lines! Over there! Cover me! I'M GOING IN!" Wow, does it sound like I've seen too many war movies in my 45 years. HA! There is always a way in folks. ALWAYS! And I know that I want THAT over there more than anything, so I'm UP for the challenge. I'm ready to rumble! Sometimes in reading my own Natal Chart, I'm standing just a bit too close and I have to back up a bit in order to see what needs to be seen.

If I have written a Natal Chart for you, then make certain you read the 13 - 15 page letter that I wrote to you at the beginning of your Natal Chart pointing out your aspects and chart configurations. This is the area where I write where you gain your intuition, information on your Rising Sign, the location of your North and South Node, all configuations and what to do with your T-Squares, Grand Trines, Grand Cross', Yod's, Stellium's, Anaeretic Degree (karmic degree) and so much more. This is really the meat of your Natal Chart that I personally write this letter to each and every single person who orders a Natal Chart. I'm thinking if you are coming to me, then you want answers. RIGHT? And by all means, look for the back doors that I have written into your chart. They are there! Especially in those T-Square's! Folks, you have to read and re-read the chart. I read and re-read my Natal Chart every single morning. "Now . . I'M GOIN' IN! . . You! . . Blue Lines! . . Cover Me!"

FOLLOW-UP TO
MY PATH OF TRANSFORMATION

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

GREETINGS FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA AND HEADED DUE EAST!!!

I finished up my teaching schedule for the weekend here in Orlando and I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to get away from the cold. Rain is in the forecast, which does not bother me a bit, as long as it isn't cold. I am a "walkin' in the rain" type of gal so I'm looking forward to making my way due East to see if I can catch some rain on the beach! Ah . . just to lay there in the wet sand, get rained on and ask God, "Now what? What do you want me to do now?" And while I'm on that beach, I have a few things that I intend to scream from the top of my lungs. Do you ever feel like sometimes you just need to go crazy, lose your mind and just start screaming? Folks, I am at a point in my Life where I am ready to just bust down some walls. I feel like I could just stretch my arms out, move certain energies out of my way and JUST GO! I mean bust out in a very bold and courageous way. I don't even know what that is . . . but itsa' comin'. I feel it.

Being that my Natal Chart reveals my intuition comes through the water element, I am prepared to plop down by the Ocean and 'receive' some astounding stimulation. Folks, this is not a vacation for me because I see every day of my Life as a vacation. To me, every day is Saturday. Every day is Monday. Every day is Wednesday. I just happened to change my usual location this week because I can and because that is what I wanted seven years ago. If you read my My Path of Transformation that was posted over the weekend, my intended goal seven years ago was to be able to flap my butterfly wings, land anywhere on the planet and call it home.

I received an enormous amount of e-mails regarding My Path of Transformation and how it related to so many of you. I feel the need to be very clear about something regarding that Daily Message. This was NOT a sad, painful or sorrowful time in my Life and neither was it difficult in the sense that one may think because I chose for it to be something better. It may have been hard in the sense that I did not realize how much energy I had to pull out of myself, yet as the same time, it was not difficult. I was in GO mode. I embraced the transformation that I HAD ASKED FOR and when I say that I was not worried, doubtful or fearful, I mean it. I was not afraid. Pissed off and angry at times I was certainly that because I can be one fiesty Gemini . . . but never was I doubtful, fearful or worried. I cannot resonate with those words and I will not. That's my choice. They just do not make sense to me. There were no affirmations that I had to say to brainwash myself out of those three words and there were no repetitive prayers that I recited to beg for God's graces. Like I always say, I am a very deliberate and on-purpose person. I knew exactly what I was doing even though I didn't know how much energy it would involve. While I do say affirmations daily, I guarantee you that they are not attached in any way, shape or form to fear, doubt and worry. And my prayers? I pray for something once. One time baby! That's it! I do believe if you pray for the same thing repetitively, then you are sitting in doubt, worry or fear and really believe that God has not heard you. I believe it shows a lack of Faith. When I pray to God and ask for something, I ask ONCE and then each time when I pray about that 'thing', it is in thanksgiving to God that HE HAS HEARD me and He is shifting what needs to be shifted in order for my prayer to be manifested. I also remain open to 'better than or equal to' results. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . 'Equal to or better than' is such a wonderful seat to sit in.

In reading many of your e-mails relating your experiences to mine, there was a strong theme of struggle in them. Folks, that Daily Message was NOT about the struggle, the pain and the heartache. I really did not feel like I was struggling in a horrible sense. So my electric was turned off . . big flippin' deal. How long could that last? So I couldn't buy food . . big flippin' deal. How long could that last? I was actually more motivated by frustration because I wanted to learn the experience and then GO faster. Learn, go, learn, go, learn, GO! My eye was on my goal and I was not budging no matter what my physical world looked like. Alrighty, let's rumble was my attitude! I just let myself feel it all. I would chat with my friend "H" (Henrietta) about it and within seconds we were laughing at the craziness of transformation. I mean we laughed until we cried right smack dab in the middle of some of my seemingly lowest points. No kidding! I accepted the process of transformation and what I was supposed to experience in order to understand millions of people. That's what I wanted! That Daily Message is about the triumph and the certainty that God had my back. If there is anything I know, I KNOW THAT! It's okay. Remember, you are a spirit first animating yourself about the planet in that physical body. Everything is going to be okay when you can calm your 'self' down, you will see it too. It's awesome! Further, affirmations should never be "I release doubt, fear and worry today." Can you see how an affirmation like that reinforces those icky words merely by concentrating on them? Knock it off! Please, please go to the affirmations section of this site to learn more about reciting affirmations.

I was chatting with a woman this weekend who in the middle of our conversation said, "Be careful what you ask for, huh?" I pointed out to her that what she had just said was another fearful statement. " . . be careful . . " has fear attached to it. I always say, "Be clear about what you ask for." Just be clear, simple as that. I never even tell people to "be careful driving." Instead I choose to say, "Enjoy your drive home." My radio show broadcast later today will be about this topic. Click any radio pic on this site to hear the broadcast.

Now . . I'm going to get muddy and crazy by myself in the rain on a beach and I'll be back later to update daily horoscopes early for tomorrow. I'm wondering . . what will come flying out of my mouth while I'm standing or laying there covered in wet sand from head to toenail. I'm so excited to feel, hear and experience more of me.

By the way, I do have my Blackberry turned on again, so I will be receiving your e-mails and phone calls as usual. The phone number is always posted at the top of this site and all e-mails will come straight to the Blackberry. If I answer, you have not interrupted me. If I don't answer, leave your name and number and the best time to call back and I will return your call. I do return calls rather quickly. Just remember, I am on Eastern time right now.

MY PATH OF TRANSFORMATION

Audio'Siyo [Hello in Cherokee]

GREETINGS FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA!!!

Folks, today's Daily Message is a dandy because I am finally ready to share something BIG with you. If anyone understands where you are at this time and place in your Life, I do. After watching Oprah's show on Tuesday regarding, "How Much Space Do You Need?" I feel the need to share with you my path of transformation. I fully understand that transformation in relationships, finances and career can be a severely challenging and debilitating experience, especially when it feels like you are left alone. Not to mention when all three (relationships, finances and career) hit you all at the same time. Believe me, I know what this walk involves when I speak with you on the phone during a reading or consult. I do understand your emotions and pain while moving through your stuff.

On Ash Wednesday I wrote a Daily Message on transformation called, "META-MORPHO-OH!", which brings me to share with you further.

Exactly seven years ago I went through a transformation process like none other that I had ever experienced. I had a 12 year relationship end, where it wasn't until the last year of that relationship that we actually lived together. At the same time, my daughter had gone off to college in another state. I was alone for the first time in my Life. This is because two weeks after I graduated from high school my sister and I shared an apartment. A year later I had gotten married. I had never been alone! EVER!

At the time of the 'move-out' I had my own posh women's clinic here in St. Louis complete with nine treatment rooms and a handful of people I employed, including one other doctor. I had my own radio show on a local radio station, I was writing articles for several holistic magazines and I was speaking at various events. Life was Good and I was happy! When I 'moved out' of the relationship, I moved into my own opulent lifestyle in the heart one of the highest earnings neighborhoods in the St. Louis area. I was driving a brand spankin' new Mercedes SUV that had $20,000 in options and my Life seemed perfect. As my transformation began running its own course from the moment of the relationship 'move out', within less than a year, I was feeling the need to take my Life to a higher level.

I remember driving to work one day and praying to God how much I wanted out of the clinic. I mean I wanted out, BAD! I wanted to write books, start a website, travel at will for business and pleasure and work from my home. I wanted financial, business, social and personal FREEDOM! I promised God that if He found a way for me out of that clinic lease, I would work for Him. Instead of working with one patient at a time, I wanted to work with millions of people at a time. And I most certainly meant millions. That was my prayer and within one week, there was a window of opportunity for me to close the clinic. I stated my desire and it manifested. I just didn't realize what it would take to get to the place that I desired to be.

There was one thing that I was not aware of that I am fully aware of today. If I wanted to communicate and relate to millions of people, I was going to have to relate to them through my own experiences. How could I relate on a level that I never experienced? I was going to have to understand what they were going through in relationships, finances and career, which are the three things that the majority of people value for their security needs. I fully believe that the time line that I had to learn these things was completely up to me. How was I going to handle the transformation if I was going to teach others how to do it? Would I step into drama mode and sit there or would I accept the challenges and move through them with grace?

To make a long story short . . . I lost nearly everything except my family and a couple of very close friends. I went from living like a Queen to nearly being homeless. I went from living in a $2000 a month spread to a $450 a month 400 square foot studio apartment that I couldn't even pay for several months. I went from driving a $60,000 Mercedes SUV (including the $20,000 in options) to riding a used bicycle. I went from a jam packed refrigerator to having my parents buy me food for six weeks at my lowest point, which was only two years ago! I went from being able to pay off my credit cards every month with no problem to the worst credit rating imaginable. It wasn't until two years ago when things finally began breaking for me. I could actually see Light at the end of the tunnel. It still wasn't anything great, but there was definitely Light. This was actually going to work only I needed to push harder. Then about a year and a half ago, things were clearly headed in the direction of the dream I had that day driving to work and praying to get out of that clinic lease.

I am a firm believer in DO NOT leave this planet with debt. We should be leaving more than we brought into this world. Take nothing and leave something bold and wonderful. I arrived on this planet with nothing on my back and I WILL leave the planet with an abundant impact. During THE MOST challenging financial times, I always made just enough money to keep my phone and electricity on so that I could update my website. There were times when I was cut off for a few days and at one time, both the phone and electricity disconnect lasted two weeks! When the phone was working, creditors were calling and yelling at me. The things they would say were really hurtful. I couldn't believe these were human beings. I understood that I created this existence I was living but I also understood they were just doing their job. One day I decided to just stand up to them and say, "Look, I don't know when I can pay, but I will. I won't run. You can call here every single day if you want and I will not ignore your calls, but when the financial situation breaks, you will know it. Until then you are slowing me down." Interestingly enough, the calls stopped.

I will never forget the first time I put a statcounter on this website three years ago . . I was devastated when I saw the numbers that first day. I had been working so hard for three years and only had 50 regular viewers. This was THREE YEARS AGO! After I threw myself on the floor and kept asking God, "Why?" . . I typed faster and more furiously than you could imagine. I have to hand it to my parents on this one, even though I knew they wanted me to practice again or just go get a job, they were nothing but supportive. I also knew, that they knew, "Loretta is relentless and does not quit". I may be a lot of things but a quitter is not part of my 'spirit description'. Even my five equally determined brothers and sisters never doubted me for a second and never once minimized what I was creating. Everyone knew that I had a vision and I would INDEED MANIFEST IT. There was never a question of, "How much did I want it?" I couldn't stop and go work somewhere else because this website is a 24/7 job. If the internet never closes, then neither would I. I learned how to manage my own website because I couldn't afford to pay anyone else to do it for me. Learning the website was my only option and I had to learn it immediately, if not sooner.

Folks, things were very ugly for so long but I have to say that I gave up worry, doubt and fear about seven years ago. Honestly, those three words are not part of my spirit, vocabulary or belief system. They really aren't. I am a very calm spirit under pressure because I choose to be. At the same time I can be a fiesty spirit over little things. (winky wink) There might be other things in Life that slow me down but worry, doubt and fear will not be part of it. If I couldn't handle this . . . how could I handle bigger, better and more of all that is Good?

What's my Life like now? Now my statcounter reveals that I am speaking to millions of people every week. My business has definitely shifted to bigger, better and more . . . and continues to grow every single day. I can travel at WILL for business or pleasure. I work from home. I can buy groceries whenever I need them. My utilities and phone are always paid on time. I once again have credit cards and still use them the way I always did paying them off every single month. I can spend money on my daughter or my grandson whenever I want. Remember when my computer blew up back in November 2006? I was able to just run out and buy another one. That still blows my mind. And the cool thing is I can still carry a dollar around in my pocket for two weeks straight and not feel the need to spend it just because it is there. I also have my actual 'last dime' sitting on a picture frame of Jesus right in front of me so that I never forget to be grateful.

Back to Oprah's show on Tuesday about, "How much space do you need?" I still live in that small 400 square foot studio apartment and I still ride a bicycle for transportation. My priorities in Life have certainly shifted. I do enjoy this small apartment, especially since I like to giddy-up-and-go as often as I do AT WILL, which was one of my goals seven years ago. And next weekend I'll be jettin' over to Dallas to meet up with Peg (Libra) and Christina (Aquarius) for the weekend. I'm so excited about that because as I always say, "Put the three air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) in a room together and they will talk about everything and solve nothing. (Naturally me being the Gemini) I'm so excited! I had contemplated buying a car back in November 2006 when I realized that I just don't need a car living in the City. It really is not necessary for me. Besides, I have a bicycle and rollerblades. My daughter Karmen thinks I'm nuts but she does know her mom very well and knows better than to worry. She knows I'm a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of gal and just shakes her head in protective approval. And on those more splendid weather days, my grandson "Big Tree" gets a kick out of seeing his Granny ride up to his house on a bicycle. It really is a Wonderful Life! If I need a car for the weekend, I'll rent it. I have no problem admitting that I am still a materialistic person because I am. I know me very well. I would rather go without than have something without a story. Materialism shows up for me differently now and one of the ways it shows up is I can move about the planet with my computer AT WILL. I pack a small bag and I'm outta here in a flash! I still enjoy wonderful, beautiful and opulent things and since I want those nice things then I will make certain that I give them to me.

So you see folks, I understand you. I hear you. And I can feel it when I talk to you. It has been a long road . . there is no doubt about it, but quitting was simply not an option. If I wanted BIG, then I needed to give BIG with all the energy I could muster. When Life throws you a curve, CATCH IT! and throw it back. Now go practice being you.

CHANGES IN DAILY MESSAGES

Audio'Siyo [Hello in Cherokee]

A DLG (Download from God) hit me this morning when I woke up regarding Daily Messages. This website has grown exponentially in visitors and pages since this time last year and I have to make adjustments where they are necessary in order to appeal to the masses. Therefore, knowing that I have such an astronomical number of new viewers since this time last year, many of the Daily Messages that were stories will end up as radio broadcasts and will no longer be available in print. For instance, yesterday's radio broadcast was a previous Daily Message called, "Mr. Wonderful" that I wrote back in April 2006. Since my website has exponentially grown, I realize there are many who may not be able to find these stories so easily. Having said that, I have to make changes and adapt to my viewers and listeners.

As a result of the awareness this morning I removed all 2006 Daily Messages so that I could extract certain topics and drop them into other areas of this site. This should make certain topics on this website more user friendly and easier to navigate. For instance, any 2006 Daily Messages that have to do with astrology will end up underneath the Astrology Charts button in the left green column. It's only fair that any topics having to do with this button should end up there. I'll let you know when I complete this process. It shouldn't take me long considering the material is already written. All other Daily Messages from 2006 that I feel should be turned into a radio broadcast will show up on my other website www.drstandleylive.com. Any new Daily Messages (stories) in 2007 that I write will continue to be archived in the year 2007 under the month they were posted.

As a gentle reminder, please note the copyright of my writing. The copyright is posted at the top of this website in the second blue box on each page and at the bottom of this website in the black footer on each page. Thank you!

META-MORPH-OH!

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

My daughter Karmen and I have our own language of whacky words and one of them is "META-MORPH-OH!" For the full effect, hold the "oh" for a few seconds. We started using this word when she was just a wee little thing of probably three years old. I would put on my make-up as she sat on the sink watching me and when I was finished I would look at her with bugged out eyes and squeal, "META-MORPH-OH!" This was because of the transformation that the make-up gave me. For complete dramatization of the transformation process, we always listened to classical music in the morning cranked up really loud from the local classical music radio station. I wanted Karmen to feel drama, passion and transformation at the deepest level and that's just one of the ways I went about it introducing this type of passionate music to her. I wanted her to appreciate and enjoy classical music in her tiny little bones, her heart and topped off with a smile. I even started taking her to the St. Louis Symphony right about the age of five and I will probably do the same thing with my grandson 'Big Tree'. I just Love music and I Love the symphony!

My point is this . . . transformation ("META-MORPH-OH!") takes place on so many different levels, in so many different forms and in so many different people, all at the same time. We are all going through the transformational process, believe it or not, like it or not . . together. It is happening. I challenge you to embrace the "META-MORPH-OH!" that is going on in your Life and make the very best out of a Good or bad situation. Whatever is going on in your Life, make certain that you are a better person because of it. You always 'get to' choose and that is your free will. Your response, actions and reactions are vital to your transformation and how wonderful or not so wonderful that looks in 1 day, 1 month or 1 year. You always 'get to' choose because you really don't 'have to' do anything.

I always say that I live my Life deliberately and purposefully. And no, if you are wondering, I have not read the 'Purpose Driven Life' because I feel that reading other spiritually motivated writers could interfere with the purity of intent of my own writing. I believe we are all saying the same thing, just saying it differently and we will resonate with our own audience. Having said that, I am an intentional person. I am awake, clear and conscious most of the time, so I am a very deliberate human being. Okay, so sometimes I have a momentary lapse of reason and mess up royally, but the majority of the time, I live my Life deliberately and purposefully. I also believe firmly in embracing any "META-MORPH-OH!" that I am going through, which is why at the bottom of all my e-mails I have an excerpt from my book that reads . . .

"I propose the reason why 30-day programs have such a low success rate is because they are out of alignment with Divine Order. They fall short of the necessary 40 days for transformation to occur."

I always asked my patients to recite their specific affirmations 40 times for 40 days. When God was making a change in His plan, He always used 40 days as a period of testing, trial or probation. It was a period of transformation and regeneration. The earth was flooded for 40 days, the Israelites were in the desert for 40 years, Moses prayed on Mt. Sinai for 40 days, Elijah prayed on Mt. Sinai for 40 days and when Jesus went into the wilderness to pray it was for 40 days. We also recognize that Lent takes place over a 40-day period. Even the gestation of a human being is 40 weeks. (Pretty cool huh?) God is so wonderful, on purpose and deliberate!

Folks, today is Ash Wednesday and for us Catholics, we begin Lent today, which is also a time of transformational shift for us. You do not have to be Catholic to participate in Lent or identify with it during this 40-day period that leads up to Easter (Sunday's are not included in Lent because He Is Risen). If you want to "META-MORPH-OH!" your Life, this is a perfect time to do it because the mood in the air is definitely shifting. "META-MORPH-OH!" is right now for so many people and to some the transformation feels great and to others, it feels horrible. Either way, energy is shifting and transformation is taking place whether we like it or not.

If you choose to use this 40-day period to "META-MORPH-OH!", then introduce affirmations into your transformational shift. I have an entire section on this site all about affirmations and various ones you can use. There are literally hundreds of affirmations to choose from. Just go to the Guidance Button in the left green column or click here.

Say the affirmation of your choice 40 times per day for a period of 40 days. If you miss one day, the mental pattern has been broken and it requires a restart back to day one. If you break the pattern, ask yourself, why? What made you shift back into an old thought pattern? It is important not to be discouraged if you recognize an old thought pattern. This is an opportunity to be grateful for the awareness, and start again.

I suggest you use coins, beads or anything that will assist you in keeping track of how many times you recite the affirmation. Place the coins or beads in a cup and pull one out each time you make the statement. You can also use a Rosary. In this manner, you will be able to meditate on what you are saying with deliberate purposeful words rather than keeping track of what number you are on. You will be 'on purpose'. Recite the affirmation while feeling the presence of the words in your mind and body. Take your time and visualize what the new awareness looks like in your daily life.

Above all, embrace the transformation you are going through, seek answers and nurture your own spiritual progression path. The energy is shifting and you 'get to' choose how you will handle it. META-MORPH-OH!

A Miracle Looks Like This!

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

I have some really unbelievable news for you. Yesterday I wrote about my friend Tina who was, and I repeat, was going in for heart surgery today. As a gentle reminder, Tina had complications with her twins pregnancy which required her to be hospitalized for 18 weeks, during which time she had went into heart failure three times. Tina is 41 years old. So the heart surgery that she was about to undergo today had been known since early last Fall.

Well, Tina checked into the hospital yesterday around 12:30 PM and by 6:30 PM we had received a phone call that the preliminary tests had revealed her heart condition had gone from severe to mild and could now be treated with medication. Naturally the stress of the pregnancy contributed to the heart condition and the delivery of the girls relieved it. Still, she was expected to undergo surgery all the way up until the preliminary tests yesterday. You talk about two people (her sister Susie and myself each feeding a baby) nearly jumping through the roof with excitement. Susie and I just started saying, "Yes, Yes, Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you" because through prayer that was what we expected. Coupled with firm Faith, that is exactly what it was supposed to look like. We knew we were witnessing a miracle. We knew instantaneously what was going on here. By 7:30 PM, Tina and Jeff were back at home cuddling Mia and Sophia.

So here is how the rest of the week looks. I'm still at Tina and Jeff's today, where now I am visiting instead of babysitting. I will 'probably' be back on my own turf this afternoon and 'yawning early' Friday morning I will strap on my butterfly wings and head for Florida as scheduled. I will not be available by Blackberry on Friday, Saturday or Sunday due to my teaching schedule. Having said that, there should be no delays in updating the sites during this time. I cannot tell you how ready I am to enjoy some warmer weather. Enough is enough and if I want warmer weather, I have to create it myself. And as my 5th grade teacher Miss Farley use to always say, "Manifest Destiny!"

My Week of Gemini Juggling

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

This will be a fairly jumbled Daily Message as there are several things going on in my Life that require a set-up.

First, my apologies for not posting your daily horoscopes this past weekend. By the way, check the box above for your monthly horoscope because the Sun has moved out of Aquarius and into Pisces. As most of you know, I'm involved in about 18 billion fund-raisers throughout the year with my whacked-out group of friends who have more energy than a group of 1st graders. On Saturday (the 17th) we had a fund-raiser at the Mardi Gras parade downtown, which was so bitter cold that it could freeze the mucous membranes in your nose. (TMI?) As I always say, "I can't stand cold weather, but the outfits sure are cute." Basically we raise money and give it to St. Louis City schools. The schools can be public or private and have to be grades 1 through 12, which goes in alignment with what I always taught my daughter Karmen . . . "Spend all of your money on education and travel because they are one in the same."

Which brings me to this. There are months in my Life where I am really my own Travel Channel. If you've been reading my Daily Messages for a while, then you know I can't get on a plane fast enough. Friday I'm scheduled to strap on my Gemini butterfly wings and high-tail it to Florida to teach a couple courses in nutrition and neurology. Since they are spaced a couple of weeks apart, I plan to stay in Florida for about a month, popping back in to St. Louis a couple of times to measure my grandson "Big Tree" and make certain I don't miss an inch of growth. As you know, travel does not slow me down a bit because wherever I go, so goes the mega-mondo-ninja-commando-ultra-nuclear computer. I'm really in need of some serious mentation time in warm weather, which will also help me forget about last Saturday's mucous membrane freeze. (oops! sorry) And whenever I'm away from my friends and family I can be the hermitiest hermit you've never seen. It's the Mystery Dancer rice paper thing all over again, which you can listen to on www.drstandleylive.com. During this time, all intuitive readings, natal charts, health consults, TYS e-Course previously scheduled appointments, TYS e-Course downloads, my book And Who Are You? and other items from this site will continue as usual, even the Tsalagi' (Cherokee) Bath Salts. And yes, I do make every single one of those bath salts myself.

Also, beginning today (Monday) through this Friday, I'm asking for your patience with regard to updates on all three of my websites . . . the radio show website, this website, and my page over on myspace since all three sites change every single day. Remember about four weeks ago my friend Tina who had to stay in the hospital for 18 weeks due to complications until she had her twin girls and I was dog-sitting her two Siberian Huskies? . . Well Tina is having heart surgery tomorrow (Tuesday) and if you could find the time to stop and pray for Tina, Jeff and the girls (Mia and Sophia) I would be more than grateful. Your patience will be needed with the updates as I will be the first round of babysitting the girls until Friday along with Tina's sister. Please folks, I beg of you . . please do not worry because that is negative energy and worrying does not heal. It just doesn't. What she needs is all out complete and unwavering prayer coupled with Faith that God has already healed her beautiful heart of gold. I will be asking God to watch over the cardiologist's hand with Divinely Perfect expertise and healing energy, along with the entire medical team. Will you hold this prayer intention with me?

WHO IS AN OLD SOUL?
Continued . . .

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

If you didn't read yesterday's Daily Message about who is an old soul, maybe you should otherwise it will set you behind in understanding today's Daily message. Yesterday's Daily Message is archived just after this Daily Message on the same page. Make certain that you also read about Astrological Grade Levels and Credit Cards. Folks, this information can help you understand yourself so much better and your partner, friend, parent or child . . . it is just phenomenal information.

As a Gemini, I am a (2nd grader), imagine a 2nd grader and 12th grader dating. Sounds a bit odd, but that is exactly what it looks like with a 2nd grader dating a 12th grader in the cosmic world of astrology. But wait! This is where the Rising Sign comes in because the Rising Sign IS the personality of the individual. It is the attitude of the individual. It is a person's approach to the world. It is how other people see that person. So back to the 2nd grader and 12th grader dating. I happen to have a very old Rising Sign (Cancer). Which means my personality is that of a 10th grader and I date someone who happens to have a very young Rising Sign.

So here is the case of a 2nd grader who has something the 12th grader needs and the 12th grader has something that the 2nd grader needs. You would think more youthfulness in dating someone with a young Rising Sign would be the last thing I need but I can be one serious gal. Keep in mind I have an 11th grade North Node (Virgo). I can be so overly analytical and serious that it could drive you nuts. Remember the Daily Message called, "It's never just about the car!" Something always means everything to me. Huh? So, dating someone with a young Rising Sign lightens my personality and makes me laugh even when I don't want to. If you look at all the other planets in your chart, then you can tell what grade level you act like with regard to that planet. It's just how you 'act' and not how old your soul actually is with that planet. Your Sun Sign dictates the age of your soul. Period! If I were you, I would read the Daily Message on "Who Is An Old Soul." The link is above.

For example, I have my Moon (emotions) in Capricorn (7th grader). My emotions are that of a 7th grader. I have my Venus (Love) in Aries (1st grader). Oh yeah, I can definitely be the whiney and selfish little 1st grader who wants attention in Love and says, "Why didn't you call me?" I have Leo (12th grader) on my 2nd house cusp of value systems, morals, personal possessions and money. I was flipping through the TV channels last night and wondered, "Has everyone lost their mind?!? These are the morals of society today? This is okay!?! Is this how society is spending their money? No wonder so many people are lonely, broke, unhappy and tired." It's not like I have lived to the highest standard with regard to morals because I have taken some really low plunges, but that is also probably why I see it so clearly. The older I get, the more my Leo (12th grade) outlook in the 2nd house sees things in an increased and more mature light.

Whatever you do folks, please, do not start studying your partner to see how old they are until you are clear on how old you are. If you cannot figure you out, how in the heck is someone else suppose to figure you out? Seriously, the worst thing you can do is spend more time studying another individual before yourself. My astrologer always said, "Never read another person's chart until you understand your own. THAT is a karmic boo-boo." Duh Duh Dunnnn . . .

WHO IS AN OLD SOUL?

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

I have written many times about old souls on this website, either through this Daily Message or through the Daily Horoscopes. After the mind-blowing day I had yesterday, I just have to share this information, regarding 'old souls', with you again. As an intuitive, it drives me absolutely nuts when other intuitives or psychics will tell one individual after another that they are an old soul. By the way, there is a difference between intuitives and psychics but that is a Daily Message for another day. I understand why they make this common mistake because 'old souls' can be tricky to detect depending on the exact minute that you were born. Not the day, or location, but the exact minute!

Remember when I wrote to you about astrological credit cards? I will repeat some of this information for the newbies visiting the site or you can read the "Old Soul" (link above) archived Daily Message to reinforce this information.

Everybody wants to be considered an old soul. Many times I have been called an old soul and I have to chuckle because it just isn't true. It just isn't. In the Land of 'Astrological Grade Levels', I am a 2nd grader (Gemini). It is my Rising Sign (Cancer) that makes me seem to be an old soul, which would be a 10th grader (Cancer). I'm a 2nd grader who acts like an adult in my personality, attitude, how I see the world and how the world sees me because these things are dictated by the Rising Sign. How many times have you heard a mother talk about her child being an 'old soul'? Or someone claim that their romantic partner was an 'old soul' because that person taught them so much. Certainly sometimes this is true because I have one of those 'very old soul' children. The oldest soul is a 12th grader (Leo) and my daughter Karmen is a Leo. On top of that, the older the Rising Sign, the older the individual. My sister Cis is a Leo and my dear friend Renee out in San Diego is Leo.

Interestingly enough, we all have Leo ruling a particular house in our Natal Chart, which is where we would act just like a Leo. So if you have not had all that great of an experience with a Leo, well listen up because you also have Leo in your chart where you take on the Leo traits. My 2nd house of value systems, morals, material possessions and personal money is ruled by Leo. I have had to humble myself out of an arrogant and egotistical mode of behavior and thought with regard to this house. Don't think for one minute that that felt even remotely Good.

Yesterday, I wrote a Natal Chart for a Leo/Leo Rising. This individual is THE OLDEST sign and rising sign of the zodiac. She is a 12th grader with a 12th grade Risingn Sign. After I wrote her chart, I ask her to call me and chills went through my whole body. I had to sit down and was on the brink of tears because I knew I was talking to a real Angel on Earth. When my intuition kicks into high gear, I get chilled, almost freezing in fact. Even more wonderful, she knew who she was. I told her that she was here for me and everyone else, not vice versa. All Leo's are called to a higher standard because they have already lived all the other 11 signs and their rising signs. Yep! That's 12 lives per sign and 144 total. The thing about Leo's is they are now volunteers on earth for us. I just had some information that she needed confirmed and I gave it to her. As a 2nd grade Gemini, all I can say is, "Out of the mouth of babes."

As I wrote in a previous Daily Message, I have personally met one other person (female) who I have written a Natal Chart for who was Leo/Leo Rising. I broke down into tears when I met her and the thing is, she knew why I was crying. She came to me and I was the crying. Wild huh? That was my emotional Cancer Rising coming out. I knew I was in the presence of a real Life human angel. I still tear up just thinking about her. I have also written for two other Leo/Leo Rising people (1 male and 1 female) and I have written Natal Charts for two very famous Hollywood actors (men) who are Leo/Leo Rising who I still consult with a couple times a year. Again, all I can say is, "Out of the mouth of babes."

Folks, here is the deal. Even if you are not a Leo, you have Leo ruling one of your houses where you should be embracing a Leo approach. You might have already been humbled in this area or you might need to humble yourself before the Universe does it for you. And let me tell, THAT does not feel Good. I had to go from being arrogant and egotistical to child-like generosity. Both are forms of the Leo personality but we 'get to' choose how we want to be. The thing about Leo energy is it is "been there done that" which is why the Leo energy can turn so arrogant and bossy. They already know but it doesn't mean the energy should be used to boss, bully and push others around. It means that they should "lead others by example." All I can say is being a Leo has to be tough. As a 2nd grader, it was tough enough to manage one house of Leo much less an entire sun sign. I like being my juvenile 2nd grade self.

When IT Doesn't Make Sense

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

Folks, we have all been in a place in our Life where something BIG and UGLY is happening and it just doesn't make any sense. This could be anything from the breakdown of a relationship, a sudden health issue, financial crippling debt or career delays and obstacles. For the uninitiated, the pain of the circumstances can severely cloud the ability to see clearly. When referring to the uninitiated, I am talking about those who have not quite learned to animate their spiritual self inside their physical body making it a severe challenge to see the big picture and understand the spiritual progression path laid out for us. In other words, it makes Life very very difficult when you are not ALWAYS connected to your spirit.

It's not about you, HERE! It's about you, THERE!
It's the real you, inside that physical body of yours.
That is who you are about.

I look at my own challenges, flaws and shortcomings and I say to myself, "What was I thinking!?!" I do believe I am one of the initiated. No one initiated me, I initiated me. I choose to be clear, conscious and curious. It's my free will and my choice. And still, I trip, I stumble and I slobber all over myself like anyone else just trying to figure it all out. I giggle at all of this, not as a human being who is not taking responsibility for my screw-ups, but I giggle as a spirit and say, "Okay, now I understand why I chose to learn in that way."

Folks, when IT doesn't make sense, then trust your instincts! I call it a DLG (Download from God), which is God talking directly to me, through me, which I also call my intuition. It is also the "still, small voice" written about in 1 Kings Chapter 19:11-13. You can call it whatever you want, it's all the same to me. There is a statement in my book, "And Who Are You? - A Daily Regimen for the Soul" where I am talking about enlightenment over the ending of a long-term relationship. I had called outloud to God, "He didn't have to treat me that way to get me to leave!" . . . then I said it again only louder, "He didn't have to treat me that way to get me to leave!" . . . And what I heard back through my DLG was . . . "Yes he did." Now keep in mind I was at the point in my Life where I was grateful the ending came, I was in the question mark of why did I stay in it for 12 YEARS! I hadn't shed one tear over it's ending until that night because I was trying desperately to understand why I chose THAT route of existence. Why would I have done that to myself? Nothing was making sense to me until I heard THAT DLG. The DLG, the instinct, the intuition was the Truth. I could have doubted what I heard but I knew the Truth when I heard it. The only way that miserable relationship was going to end was the way it ended. That was the only way I was going to get the message. Nothing else worked. I didn't like the way everything went down, it didn't feel Good but it did the trick and I snapped out of choosing the miserable existence and left. That story has nothing to do with anger or animosity, it's all about enlightenment . . we were just two people who got stuck in a plane of existence who finally chose to move on. Even so, at that time in my Life, I would say that we were both "initiated".

I hear, see and feel so many people going through monstrous struggles right now due to their own self-undoing. The only way you can clear this folks is if you look at your role in the grand scheme and ask yourself why YOU chose that route of existence. What did you not know then that you most certainly know now? Did you need a lesson in learning to Love? Did you need a lesson in appreciating money? Did you need a lesson in respecting your body? Even if the trip is painful, the lesson is always well worth it. In Chiropractic we say, "Pain is coward. It is the last thing to show up and the first thing to leave." Pain does go away; it's the lessons that remain that you get to take with you beyond this Life as you now know it.
