Ode To God, Life on Earth

Ode to God, Life on Earth 2007

"I was assigned life on Earth to pay the price for my time away from God. I was assigned a mission to accomplish among many and a certain life span to be here to endure the pain. Although I found life worth living, and thrilling in parts, the pain, agony, and misery I had to endure at times was unbearable. The whole time I was alive I served this debt to God and praised his essence and glory. My life was blessed and I was content mostly except for some of the unruly, abusive, negative, and demeaning people I encountered. I did my best to be the best person I could be always acknowledging God and his existence and guidance. No one said Life on Earth was going to be easy, but it was something I had to do, I had to endure, I had to complete in order to serve my sentence for what I had done wrong away from God. I loved every breath I took, and with every beat of my heart I faced life with a love and compassion that few ever had. When my life was great, I bask in the glow of God's love, and when it was hard I did my best to overcome my fear and agony to evolve back to a state of grace. Although I was tempted by many things and people during my Earthly existence, I did all I could to hold God and his glory above all and as my top priority. It was this choice that carried me, and allowed me the freedom and calm that I created. Unlike many who were in a hurry to do things, make things, create things, and go places, I allowed my life to unfold as it did, and followed the course of least resistance, exuding caution, skill, and contemplation on my every move so as not to unbalance the Universe. I understood that life was sacred, and that everything in this dimension is sacred, so I was very careful to respect, and acknowledge all there was as God's creation, with my temporary use of it all. I thank God for the life I lived, with the great experiences I had, and the courage to face the hard times, the down times, the sad times, and the changes I needed to make in order to survive. With this testimony, I leap forward into another year, hoping and praying it be better than the last,and with the grace of God that I, my friends, and family be protected, safe and happy in whatever is to come. I have deep faith that he will watch over me and guide me as long as I give him this priority....Happy New Year. 2007"

Astrology Defined: Capricorn the Martyr

Capricorn the Martyr

(Capricorns or Cap People may view what we see as them suffering or being Martyred as 'normal,' and would never admit to it, while we 'wince in pain,' when we see what they normally deal with.....it is because they have the mettle to handle it, when most others, don't.)

 

by Farley Malorrus

On this New Years 2007, one mustn't forget that all the Capricorns are also having birthdays. Like Jesus, Elvis, Nixon, and all Capricorns, this sign takes on much more than the rest. Capricorn is the sign ruled by Saturn and the Law of Karma. They are the role models for us all when it comes to overcoming impossible odds and surviving or succeeding. Why must Capricorns take on such a load you may ask? Why must they work so much harder, be much more honest, need to get that much more loaded (Elvis), or put themselves through hell knowing that heaven might not await them. One thing is for sure, they die for us all. They suffer for us all, and they hurt for us all. I have had many Capricorn friends and I will never understand why they choose to take on such a heavy burden, and with their dry sense of humor, they always rationalize away the impossible dream they have taken on. Oh some of us have Capricorn Moons, or Capricorn Rising, maybe Venus or Mars, then Jupiter or Saturn in the sign. All people with Capricorn energy will assure themselves of going through some kind of ordeal or other sometimes all the time. When most of us go through a Saturn cycle every 27 to 30 years, folks with Cap planets seem to go through the mill every month. I have tried to throw a life saver to Capricorns and even offer them an option to pain and hard work some times unappreciated labor. It is their nature to build, work, sweat, take on challenges, and suffer through them. If you are dating a Capricorn or married to one, it won't be boring for you, as you may be amazed, and hopefully amused at the constant mess they may be standing in. Even the wealthiest of people who are Capricorn or have planets in that sign, may be abundant in toil and challenge. It doesn't matter how much success they attain, should they finally attain it, as because it is the very nature of their sign, the sign of the Soldier who always seems to have mission or project to conquer or achieve. Many people with Capricorn energy find it natural to be a police person, or fire person, or a soldier because the pain and growth goes along with the job. The motto for Capricorn should be "no pain, no gain," as they take on many more challenges than almost all the signs put together. During this time of the holidays when we recall the birthday of one special Capricorn, the ultimate martyr (Jesus), we must also pay solace and gratitude to the masses of people having birthdays at this time, and taking on so much more than they can really handle or more than they need, but believe it or not, because it is their nature, they need it.

They need the mountain to climb, the lake to swim, the path to walk, and the mission to accomplish. It is their nature. So, Happy Birthday to all the Martyrs in the World, and know that this Astrologer acknowledges your sacrifice and in due course that you should eventually benefit and evolve from the price you pay.

Happy 2007 everyone, and Happy Birthday Cap!

Astrology, Fun With Horoscopes, Forecast for 2007 By Farley Malorrus

(Please Pass this forecast on to anyone and everyone, so they know how their year will be!! Thank you! FM)

Astrological Forecast for December 2006
and for the Calendar year 2007
By Farley Malorrus, www.radioastrology.com
310-415-9222 for readings.

Aries: Aries has had a fine run the last two years with Saturn in friendly Leo. Hopefully career has soared and some goals realized including improvements in family and children. December is a pivotal month for the Ram concerning completion's and making final on many projects. Hopefully, they will be confident and optimistic able to overcome any problem or road block. I love Aries with Jupiter in friendly fire Sagittarius for much of 2007, which brings travel, luck, prosperity, and happiness to most Rams. This is a warm friendly, loving sign that loves physical contact.

Taurus: Taurus has been through a challenging two year period, and frankly would like to forget about a lot that happened this year which has been a major test. They are shown relief in December with focus on love, romance, and getting finances recovered in case their has been a loss or challenge. Taurus needs to be very careful in any real estate deals, or stock deals, as the markets may be stabilizing and could drop further in 2007. Taurus loves to hug and needs a lot of affection. They are also a very physical sign.

Gemini: The Twins would have to be one of the strongest of the 12 signs of the Zodiac having survived quite the roller coaster the past 3 to 6 years. Although they have been shown major gains, many may have taken advantage of their love, trust, or naivety in certain situations. Thankfully Gemini is open minded and forgiving in order to resolve any issues, and is shown continued growth and fulfillment of many life long dreams. If you are Gemini you should not smoke, or abuse your lungs at all, as that is sensitive part of your body. December is a month of major change for you and you should adjust and be able to adapt as the days go without resisting the tide. The year 2007 is a major year of letting go of the past and reinventing much of your life. Gemini thrives on communication and information.

Cancer: The Crab should have had an overall decent year in most areas, and is shown the greatest financial gains, so hopefully you have made some money in real estate, the stock market, or the bond market. Romantically, you have been on fire this year, and being close with those you love has been an important part of your life. December means a time for you to think about taking a break from a potential hectic schedule and tons of responsibility. Hawaii in the winter, or the Caribbean, Europe, or just some camping might be a great prescription. The year 2007 offers tremendous goal accomplishment and exciting new friendships. Cancer is an Emotional sign and needs lots of love.

Leo: The Lion has certainly been through the most challenge and ordeal with Saturn in Leo for the last 2 years, and if you are a Leo and you are in good shape, you should be proud, but if you are hurting as a Leo, I understand. The challenge here has been along the lines of organization, leadership, family, father, friends, and adaptation to transition. I know lots of Leo who have reinvented themselves at this time. With Jupiter in friendly fire the Leo should soar in 2007, overcome any challenge, accomplish any feat, and retain their confidence, power, and grounding. Leo is a proud sign and loves respect and honor.

Virgo: Virgo is a durable soldier, and dedicated to details and often times perfection. This last 5 to 6 years has offered much challenge to most all Virgo with planets in signs like Uranus in Pisces, Jupiter and Pluto in Sagittarius. The stress level for Virgo is high when planets are in Sagittarius or Pisces, as these signs stress Virgo. The areas of focus are personal freedom, independence, emotional issues, and overall confidence. I'm hoping Virgo can find some happiness this holiday season, as long as they are not too serious. IF you are Virgo try not to overindulge this holiday, and don't be surprised if you get some very nice gifts from loved ones. The coming year is a year of taking control of your life, designing your goals, and deciding what makes you happy and embracing it. This is an analytical sign and likes go figure things out.

Libra: The Balance Scales have had a nice run for many years, and should be the more content of all 12 signs this last 10 years or so. Many are jealous of the success many Libra has had, and wishes to have some also. Once again 2006 should have been a fine year for you with gains in almost all areas. If you are Libra and having problems, you must question your motive and check your obsessions to resolve your karma. The "good Libra's," have been blessed by the 7 years of Uranus in Aquarius, now the passage of Neptune in friendly Aquarius which can keep the good times rolling another 5 years. You need to drink lots of water in December and keep your urinary tract healthy, and if a man your prostate healthy.
Libra rules the kidneys, hence the need to keep them flushed and healthy. This may be the best sign for love and marriage in December and all of 2007. Libra is endearing, and appreciates loyalty and love.

Scorpio: This last year should have been the best year in 12 for the Scorpio, and although they have been forced into one change after another for many, many years almost 12 years, they should be strong and powerful enough to handle things from just the experience they have gained. December is a month for them to finish up a load of projects on hold or in the closet that needs to be attended to. Relationships could improve overall in December if you open your mind, open your heart, be more flexible, and adaptable and not be too intense. This sign is very emotional and needs lots of love.

Sagittarius: Most Sagittarius may be happy retired and traveling, or at least taking long vacations and relaxing. Sports is another way for Sagittarius to relax and lose stress. December may be a big month for this sign to break away from the rat race, or plan a huge getaway for 2007. This may be the biggest year for travel and prosperity for this sign in 12 years as Jupiter the Lord of Sagittarius is in your sign for quite some time this year. It's like having a genie now, make a wish, focus, visualize, and work to attain your dreams and you might just have it. The downfall maybe emotional issues in December and throughout the year, so don't run from your feelings. This is a fire sign and loves having a great time and being happy.

Capricorn: Why is Capricorn so hard on themselves? Why are they hard on people around them? The best part of this sign is their sense of humor, so as long as they keep it and share it, they are fine. When they get too political, they get in all kinds of trouble. IF they survived 2006 with money in the bank, not too much in debt, and still have a job, that is great. Otherwise, may need to erase the chalkboard and make some new plans for career, goals, and finances.  Some Capricorn's spend every penny they get, and they should learn to save some, as they might need it. December is an excellent time for love and romance for this sign, if we can get them out of the house, or away from the job. The year 2007 may be one of the best years for Capricorn as long as they are not negative, defeatist, and that they take care of their health. It is important they pay attention to symptoms, and get checked if necessary. This sign is very funny, and as long as they are happy, it is good.

Aquarius: This has been a challenging year for Aquarius. IN fact, the last 5 years has been rather challenging. If you are an Aquarius, I feel for what you have gone through and remember to keep people around you that love you, as support. December is a release for many Aquarius going through tons of Karma, more than any other sign. Making peace, resolving issues, expressing love, support, commitment, and team work have been critical to Aquarius, especially in December. The year 2007 will be like a 'new life,' for many Aquarius entering a whole new realm of experience. It may seem a little scary at first entering the unknown for some, but the end result should be success and happiness. Being able to pick yourself up and dust yourself off is important at this time. This sign needs a lot of information and craves it.

Pisces: The Fish should have had a good year in 2006 and if they did not, then something is wrong. They need a break and may want to plan an extended vacation if they can afford it. What they cannot afford to do is get deeper in debt, in case they are already in debt. Music, dancing, theater, movies, and concerts are a great release for Pisces as long as they avoid over indulgence in December. December is not a good month for a Pisces should he be an addict or alcoholic, as 2007 may be a tough year for them. IF they are sober and in control, they should soar in 2007, with great ideas, innovations, ideas for positive change, and new love affairs or stronger love relationships. This is a very emotional sign and enjoy expressions of love and affection.

That's the Astrological Forecast for December, 2006, and for the year 2007 for all 12 Signs.

God Bless President Ford By Farley Malorrus

I had just heard Gerald Ford had died, and he was a Cancer. I had written a previous article how Cancer people were going through a tough time. I'm sorry to hear President Ford has died in his home. May God Bless his soul..Now, James Brown, and President Ford have died. It usually comes in threes.

Cancer's Might not be doing so well

Astrology Explained, What's wrong with Cancer?

By Farley Malorrus

With Venus in Opposite Capricorn, Cancers could be very sensitive this holiday season. It also stresses out Aries and Libra. Mercury, the Sun, and Mars are headed for Capricorn which could spell some confusion, worry, accident prone energy, and overall emotional let down. Hopefully it would not be emotional breakdown. If I'm a Cancer, Libra, or Aries, including maybe Capricorn, late December and all of January would be the best month for a vacation, maybe 2 weeks in Hawaii. Cancer already rules emotions, feelings, and home, and frankly the Moon Child has been through enough lately, so let's hoping they sail through January with all this activity in opposite sign Capricorn. Obviously, Capricorn is sensitive also at this time, and in a potential hermit mode, or need to blow away everyone they care about and love. Knowing where the planets are and what signs they are in, can help us organize our lives and with expectations as to what is going on, give us a needed edge. During the holidays if you know a Cancer, Libra, Aries, or Capricorn, be warned they may be touchy, sensitive, argumentative, and just need to vent some stress. Christmas dinner, and Christmas day is not a good time to 'nuke' the one's you love. With the Planets running 'hot' on New Year's Eve and New Years Day you want to avoid fighting with the one you love, or the one you are with, lest you may break up!

Merry Christmas everyone, and remember my key word for the holidays is "whatever!"

Astrology Explained: "It's Monday and I'm having a Saturn Return!" KARMA AND SATURN

Astrology Explained:
The Meaning Of Saturn in the Birth Chart..and the Law of Karma By Farley Malorrus

It's Monday and Saturn is at 25 Leo.....When I was born, Saturn was at 25 Leo....In your late 20's, in your late 50's and in your late 80's a phenomena occurs in Astrology we call a Saturn Return. It is when Saturn travels all around the 12 signs of the Zodiac and returns to the place it was when you were born. Saturn is the Lord of karma, obsession, what we desire most, and our biggest craving apart from God. My Saturn is in Leo in the 11th house. Now to understand my karma, biggest craving, and obsession we want to look at what Saturn means in the sign of LEO and in the 11th house. By the way, babies being born at this time are being born with MY KARMA, because we share the same Saturn.

Leo is family, father, creativity, organization, happiness, and strength. The 11th house is goals, friends, best friends, humanity, and sudden changes. All of these things had been vital to my life and something I had obsessed about until my priority in life became my relationship to God.

The last time I had a Saturn Return in my late 20's, my best friend in the World, Michael Alcana, died from injuries incurred when he flipped his Ford Maverick about 10 times in the rain on the freeway going up to UCSB. It was also at this time that my father had totally rejected me for someone else, a stranger, to run his business, and I felt I did not exist to him or in his life. I have always had karma with friends and father; and I can't count the times I have counted on someone being a best friend (including Dad) and they have either betrayed me, rejected me, dumped me for no reason, moved on with their life for no reason, or like Michael, just died. Friendship has been and always will be vital to my life, but at the same time it is my karma. My father (The Leo Part) is someone I have wanted to be best friends with my whole life (He is 91), and he has always chosen others to be ahead of me on his priority list. Whether it has been my brothers in law, or those that have chosen to run his company, or even someone who just knows him, 'from the business,' he has never given me the priority that I would cherish from him. He has been kind and generous to me, but not the close friend I would desire. At this time, he has chosen a young man in his 50's to be his 'cup of tea,' and confidant, once again over me. So, my whole life has been littered with this friendship/father karma. You know what else bites me? It has always been so important that I be close friends with my ex wife (while married), and/or any girlfriends that I have had, and it is not the fact that they betray the relationship as much as they betray my friendship with them, that bites me! (Ouch!)

Now, you may understand better why I chose Astrology and understanding concepts of Karma as my life career. I have learned that my priority is and always will be God. There is a very important reason for that, as in my research into Karma, as many of you know, "Karma is any thing your desire other than God." "Karma puts a weight on your soul that keeps your soul from going into the light, keeps you reincarnating,  and prevents your soul from going into the light when you die." The Love of God and your relationship to God bears no weight. "Karma is anything material or Earthly that is not of God. The soul is weightless when it enters this realm and it collects desires, obessions, and needs the whole life putting weight on the soul. This is the karma that keeps us alive so long, and prevents us from going into the light at death. The only way to go into the light at death is to release all your desires and obsessions, and embrace your love of God with all your heart. (In the Christian faith this would be accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God)

I recently was rejected on Thanksgiving by a life long friend (36 years) whom I spent Thanksgiving with for many years, and for no reason decided he wanted to be alone. (That's Saturn Return Part I) My best bud and pet HARPY the African Green Singing Finch had died a few weeks ago (Part II), and he was around me for nearly 16 years. My Dad has recently taken on this young man as confidant and driver for him, (something I had considered doing) and did not even have Thanksgiving Dinner with my Mom or I, as he had to eat with this man instead of us (Part III)....So...I could be distraught and upset over all of this, and feel the pain of loss, rejection, or abandonment, as many do during these times, but then there is God.

My faith in God is so strong, so powerful, so loving, so connected, so dedicated that it is a vital, intensely intimate part of my life. I pray every day, when I go to sleep, acknowledge God's presence (Jesus), ongoing, every second of my life as a witness to my life, best friend, and accomplice in all I think about or do. This is my saving grace in every context as without my faith, I am sure I would wallow in the pain and loss of not having these 'friends' hang around, or having the close relationship I have always wanted to have with my dad. Instead, I bask in the glow of God's love and don't allow the other to have any bearing or 'weight,' on my soul. This is what my life has become, a circle of bliss, love, and happiness, and therefore I can 'sail' through this Saturn Cycle, unlike when I was in my 20's when Michael Alcana died, that affected me for 5 years later in grief.

I know there is more to come, as people tend to die during this Saturn cycle, as my Saturn is in stress to a Scorpio Moon in my chart and therefore the death element comes in to picture, but I am strong, and my relationship with God once again is the way I overcome my karma, and deal with such things.

One of my closest friends in the World, Martha, lost her dog "Cali," today and I felt the pain. To me, losing a pet is like losing a child, and I related to the fact that Cali died from a tick related lyme type disease that took her in 24 hours, but I know she is released from the pain and with God in Heaven, so that she is happy. I am sorry for the loss of our friend Cali, but once again I revert back to my deep faith and connection to the almighty as the driving force in my life and by far the priority I must embrace over all things Earthly and all people. The goal is to be Bodhisattva, or "Karma free;" to be free of all attachments material or Earthly and to have one priority of the Spirit, that which is God.

One final comment as love, relationships, marriage, sex, and children all have a weight on our soul as we all know, sometimes the heaviest of burdens. Even though this love, connection, relationship and passion seem so important to us, as it is Earthly, it is all part of the Karmic circle we must overcome to go into the light. As important all of that is to all of us, or most of us, it is most important to be able to 'let it all go,' at death or when dying, and embrace that which is certainly eternal, God's Love.

Enjoy the week and may God's blessings shine upon you.

Using Astrology to Coach Football By Farley Malorrus

(Footnote: Bret Favre and Mark Bulger did 'lose' today after having off days, and neither was benched, so as predicted, when the planets go bad for a Quarterback, they go bad...FYI)

The Quarterback is having a Bad day or Bad Horoscope, then BENCH HIM. By Farley Malorrus

One day football will be more like baseball in that the pitchers will be rotated or benched in favor of someone with the hot hand.....

I think Football will change in the future. I think teams will have up to 3 Quarterbacks, and according the 'their horoscope,' or if they are in the game and playing bad, they will be 'benched,' as a pitcher is in baseball, and another QB will come into the game. This situation with a 1st string Quarterback 'owning a team,' will not work in the future. A guy could be having an awful day, week, month, or year in the stars, and still the coach (in modern day, Bill Cowher last week with Ben Roethlesberger), leaves the guy in the game to get battered, when the guy on the bench, (Charlie Batch) is fine to be put into the game, and maybe give the team a chance to win. As egos become less important and Astrology Chart daily energy becomes more important, I feel championships will be designed in the sport of football depending on whether the guy throwing the ball is having good aspects or bad aspects, Astrologically speaking. How many times have we seen teams with Quarterbacks who appear 'stricken,' left in the game until they are injured or carted off helpless, when the coach can simply 'bench' him in favor of the 'other guy,' who may be having 'better aspects. For Example, the Moon in Taurus today, in stress to Mercury in Scorpio, and Neptune in Aquarius may not work well for Mark Bulger of the Rams for example who has Taurus energy in his chart, but the coach may not know that or care. If Bulger has a bad 1st quarter, you can put Gus Frerotte in the game for a quarter or two to see if he can do better, then bring Bulger back in the 2nd half with a lead instead of leaving Bulger in to get battered. This philosophy of leaving a guy like Bret Favre, Jake Plummer, or Kurt Warner in a game when they are playing bad, lazy, or stupid will not work in the future. Wise coaches will become more aware of Astrological aspects and the fact that people have bad days, including Quarterbacks, and instead of worrying so much about it being 'his team,' you just bench him in favor of the other guy, and tell him, it's no big deal, that he'll be back in the game later on, or another game.
Football should be a game about winning, not a game about babying a quarterback who is havinga bad aspect or a bad day. That is how you ruin a career, or have a terrible injury. To me, it's obvious when someone is playing badly, and no matter whom you have on the bench as back up, a 'relief QB,' should be sent in, just as they do in baseball. I think it would protect the QB who is having the bad day, and give the team as a whole a chance to win. The broadcasters and reporters debate over and over who should be QB on this team, and why he hasn't been benched, or why the rookie like Cutler on Denver, isn't playing yet (He is today), but still, I think the egos should be shed, and when coaches learn that some days the QB just isn't clicking, and try not to figure why, but just bench him in favor of the other guy, even if for a quarter or two, and give the team a chance to win. I used to coach 9 to 12 year old kids in football and won 8 championships, and I used this formula all the time. When one of the kids seemed rusty or wasn't playing to his potential, I had no problem switching the Quarterback to another kid, to give us a chance to win. In pro and college football you don't see that as much, but one day football teams with have many more Quarterbacks to choose from (same goes for receivers, if they can't catch, bench them in favor of someone having 'better aspects' that day as these things run in trends)

I believe one day football teams will get smart and have 3 to 5 pitchers (Quarterbacks) on the bench rotating them until they find the 'hot hand,' and win the game. Football is too boring an unpredictable when every week the coach leaves Bret Favre in the game, even though the Packers are getting killed, in favor of putting in the other guy and giving the team a chance.
Just my honest opinion.
