After much brainstorming, I've set the online workshops for Fall 2010 and Spring 2011. They are:

Developing your Intuition 

Curbing Reactivity

Longing for Connection: Manifesting the Perfect Relationship

The form of the workshops is still taking shape, but there will be live teleconferences with the ability to practice together & ask questions, written materials sent to you via email, and exercises/homework to be done in your own time. If you can't attend a class in person, a recording of the teleconference will be provided to you, free of charge. 

A lot of people have expressed the desire to deepen their own skills and take what they've learned through their readings into their lives a bit more. Learning to use your intuition, curb reactivity and manifest connection in our lives form the basis for many other issues that tend to crop up for everyone, including issues with family, friends, money and jobs. So we'll begin there. 

If you'd like to see a certain class offered in the future, please ask. I'll be setting the agenda for the rest of 2011 very soon!

Gemini is coming to an end, and so is our 2-for-1 sale on email readings. If you have pressing questions on your life's issues, make sure to get your readings in and paid for before midnight (Los Angeles time) this Sunday night, June 20th. 

As of 12:01 AM Monday morning, it's over. And the next sale will be ... I have no idea when ... definitely not during the summer or early fall months. We'll be launching a new, easier-to-navigate shopping cart offering more payment options (you spoke, we listened) and a few products, including kits on How to Learn Tarot and How to Learn Astrology. 

By fall, I hope to launch on ongoing teleconference series focusing on healing, manifestation and other popular topics. And then downloadable monthly and yearly horoscopes will follow, for each sign. 

Thanks for your support -- then, now and in the future! 

Though I live in Los Angeles now, I'm originally from New York.  I understand and even welcome things like fall and winter. I know how to change a snow tire. Though I like politeness same as the next person, the naked truth of the New York way never tires for me. You know where you stand and verily, it is good. 

Adjusting to a new life in L.A. wasn't easy ... at first. Everyone was healthy, no one smoked and there was that driving thing to contend with, after years of taking subways and cabs everywhere. But I grew to love even the most annoying aspects of Los Angeles (well, most of them) including the beach culture in the summer. We've had a longer than normal winter and spring for us, with temperatures barely cresting 70 until the past few weeks (I know -- horrible!). But no more. 

It's gorgeous outside, the normal June Gloom hiding behind the clouds and flowers bursting bright blooms of color everywhere. Time for some new shades, a better sunblock and hiking! 

If you're looking for the perfect summer song, look no further. My new favorite band, complete with surf guitar rhythms, sweet girl-group vocals  -- and Ronald McDonald!

A lot of people have been writing in, asking about destiny. Modern mythology has it that we're each meant for one individual person, and run the risk of destroying our lives completely if we're on the wrong bus, or walking own the wrong street when our intended is where we're meant to meet them. 

I don't believe in destiny. I believe in possibility. Even if we're in the worst possible place in the world -- with no love, a terrible job, debt, health problems -- there us still the possibility of transformation. We can create the next moment to either be filled with potential or more of the same. It takes time. It takes effort and intention. And it may even take reframing our habitual responses to even see that there's a way out of our current situation. 

But when we do this, the idea of destiny fades into the background. We may come in with certain tendencies, or quirks of personality. We may have certain needs and experiences every day. But in the end result there is only this moment, and then that one, and then the one beyond. We have only to believe, in some small way, that transformation is possible in at least one of them. :)

Here's to you, finding your possibility in the very next breath you take. 

Yesterday, I was driving home from an appointment when I turned down the street where our office is located. It's a pretty quiet street, residential mostly, tree-lined. I wasn't driving very fast because it's narrow and a little difficult to navigate, but I could see a small body walking along the sidewalk on my left side in my peripheral vision. It was a small child, about 2 years old, walking with purpose, with something clutched in his hand. I slowed down, watching him, a little fascinated.  What was a toddler doing out by himself? Where was he going? 

He came to a stop just shy of the corner, almost even with my car now, and started across the street. I kept slowing, expecting him to see me and stop. But he kept going, striding with purpose, just inches from my bumper to a car parked on the right side of the road. 

I was so stunned that all I could do was get the window down and call to him. I was afraid to drive around him in case he walked in front of me again, though I wanted to pull over and see where he'd come from. I could see now that he had car keys clutched in his hand and was now trying to fit them into the door lock of the black car. That little dude wanted to get out of Dodge. 

There was still no one around, no adult seeming to claim him, but another woman had pulled her car over and was trying to see where his parents might be. I suggested that maybe their name or address was on the car keys, so she tried to take them from the child. But no such luck. We both wanted to help, but neither of us wanted to be in that position where you're holding someone's child, looking for all the world like an abductor when someone comes out of the house. I had visions of my husband coming home and me saying, "Look what I found today!" or of me in the back of a squad car for trying to be a Good Samaritan. 

Luckily, she called to a shirtless man who seemed kind of disoriented. He was down the block and said he had been looking all over for the kid. The woman glanced at me and I'm sure we were thinking the same thing. But he scooped the child up, who smiled beamingly at me as he was carried back to his house. And the kicker, after I could get my hands to stop shaking, was that he was wearing Superman PJs. 

What? 

It took me until last night to sort through the psychic ramifications of this. I am a firm believer in signs, and because I do so much energy work with my clients and in my own life, I know that energy isn't subtle. It shows you what's really happening around you in no uncertain terms.  

My conclusions so far? For God's sake don't let the kids (meaning the undeveloped part of all of us) drive the bus, and once in awhile, depend on the kindness of strangers.  :)

So excited! We're beginning to advertise (I've never had to do that before, but what the heck, right?) with our first one appearing in BUST this fall. Love them, been reading the mag since the beginning and have even written a piece of two for them along the way , so it couldn't be a better fit overall.  Now let's see what happens ... 

More than one person has written to ask about gift certificates. Yes, we offer them!  You choose the reading you want, purchase it through PayPal and then email us to let us know you want someone else to receive it. We will need their email address, too. Then we'll email them, letting them know you've given them the gift. We'll schedule directly with them for phone or email readings. 

My apologies to someone with an AOL email address who wrote in to ask about gift certificates. We tried to email you several times, but it kept bouncing back to us, so I hope you don't think we're ignoring you. We're so not. 

That reminds me. If you want to receive regular emails from us, please add us to your address book. That way, we won't end up in your spam box, as has happened for a few people. 

This ends your tips for a happy purchase for today. Thanks for listening. :) 

It's been an incredibly busy and equally rewarding week since our Daily Candy mention. We've been working overtime, trying to sure the queue for email readings stays manageable, without compromising on quality of course! Happy to report that we've done that. Email readings with regular scheduling should be back to normal timing (make sure to get your birth info and questions in quickly, if you can), with emergency and super rush scheduling always getting bumped to the top of the list. 

Thanks for an amazing week! It's been great to meet everyone, and to receive so many wonderful testimonials. They'll be up on the site soon. I've also received one piece of particularly vicious hate email (from someone who doesn't know me and has never used my services, natch), an invitation to work a high-profile Hollywood awards show, pitches from publicists (do psychics have publicists -- I have no idea!) and even interest in my upcoming workshops (on developing your own intuition -- coming soon!) and my memoir, Signs Point to Yes. Hard to believe it's all fit into a space of about 8 days. 

Tomorrow, Jupiter and Uranus form an exact conjunction in very early Aries. This is incredibly lucky, heralding a sudden and perhaps volatile change in your life. Depending in where this falls in your chart, you may find that it's like a wonderful present, waiting to be unwrapped. But Aries can also make people a bit arrogant, aggressive or overly-confident. So make sure you're careful when driving, with any physical activity or exertion, or when engaging in risky behaviors like investing. 

Hope it's half as good for you as it's been for me! That would be a fairly amazing amount of goodness. 

I was surprised to learn that Dennis Hopper was a Taurus after his death. In life, he seemed like a Pisces. He'd been on my mind for the past few months given that a retrospective of his artwork will open at MOCA Los Angeles in July (can't wait, for that or the Arshile Gorky show). For those who don't know and may not have seen his work, Dennis Hopper was more than just a druggy clown, pissing people off and forgetting his lines. He was a excellent photographer and fine artist. He was also an avid collector of art, having begun in the 1950s with the Abstract Expressionists.

His 6th House of health and immunity was in Taurus, making him stubborn and strong. Even with prostate cancer, he held out a lot longer than many had predicted. His Sun placed in this house gave him a mission in this life, though, a kind of service he paid back while making us laugh and be a little bit afraid (hello, Frank Booth!). 

His Aries Moon may not have always done things our way, but he was a free spirit, an individual, and he was gonna let that freak flag fly no matter what. He demonstrated that you can be successful and truly yourself, regardless of the circumstances. Maybe we can all take a page from his book in that regard. 

I'm already missing Dennis Hopper. I was waiting to see what this new chapter might have been. But I have his artwork to keep me company, in another month or two. Can't wait! 

Today, I was featured in Daily Candy's Everything guide, which sent our traffic through the roof! Very grateful for the exposure, and all the new clients I'm excited to meet. You can check out the link here, if you haven't already seen it:

I've been reading all day, Mallory has been pushing emails and we're both getting ready to sign off for the evening. As you might imagine, we're very swamped with everything from readings to invitations to strange events. We even got some hate mail! 

So if you're waiting for an email reading, please be patient. We will get to each and every one of you as fast as we can. But we're human, and need to sleep! And I don't want to compromise on the quality of the reading. 

So it' s back at it first thing tomorrow morning, Los Angeles time. We'll talk to you then. 

As a Sag, you'd think I wouldn't be into my polar opposite. You could assume that they'd get on my nerves, grate against my delicate sensibilities (gotta love those) and just generally bug the crap out of me. But most of the time, I'm too busy laughing to notice. 

Geminis are ruled by communicative Mercury, which makes them great talkers and thinkers. They're notorious wits (Oscar Wilde, though not a Gemini, comes to mind, as does Morrissey, who is a Gemini), They make any boring job go by a lot faster, what with their constant party planning and playful pranks, and can put nearly anyone in their place with a single glance. The challenging thing can be in keeping them on message and away from distractions. Those can be the death of most Gemini natives, who seem to be interested in everything and everyone. 

I'm celebrating my love of all things Gemini by offering a 2-for-1 sale through June 20th. Just order and pay for half the number of questions you want answered, and you'll get twice as many in your order when we email you to get your birth information (it will automatically be taken care of -- no worries). A better deal than that you're not going to get. Just put code TWINS in the message to sender box at the time of checkout so we know you're in on the secret.
