Free Aries March 2012 Horoscope

You have some incredibly strong and positive energies promoting your professional and financial goals. You get upset about your professional path or an authority figure. You will probably end up making internal adjustments after reflecting on the situation and you could benefit greatly from reintroducing yourself in a new light. Yes, Aries is stubborn and competitive, but that does not mean that you are not able to self-evaluate, mature, and improve your people skills. This fresh start will be amazing.

You are feeling very upbeat, motivated, and in a "can do" kind of mood. You are also being encouraged to travel, play, laugh, have fun, learn new things, get involved in political, cultural, and religious activities, meet fascinating new people, etc. You could have a difficult time trying to remain in a boring monotonous rut this month.

Your social life and your home life are both bursting with all kinds of wonderful positive energy.

Your social life is electrified giving you all kinds of smart, funny, and maybe even lucrative things to do involving your friends, teammates, committees, professional associates, networking and/or online activities. Unfortunately, there are times when your social life (or Internet activities) is clashing with your romantic or financial needs.

Shine Your Light When It Is Darkest - Looking Up Newsletter

February 20th, 2012
Looking Up Newsletter

Good morning,

Last week, I got the good news that I have officially paid off my college school loans (from way back in the 80’s) for the third time. Twice before, I was told they were paid off, but they found a way to come back from the dead on some technicality. This time, I actually got an apology from them and they fixed it without taking any more money from me (un-posted, fixed, and then re-posted the final payment so that it actually is the final payment). They even offered to send a “paid in full” statement this time. So I am hopeful that they really mean it and that I have finally slain that dragon for the last time.

If so, then I will probably be going back to school to finally finish my college degree. It will be interesting to see how well I do at juggling work, family, and school. Better to be too busy than to be too bored!  ;)


take care,
Skye Thomas

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. - Jane Goodall

Feature Article of the Week:


Hidden Souls

I suppose it is the nature of the thing that you would feel that you are alone and that nobody else is going through what you are going through. You have worked on yourself, healing, changing, growing, and becoming more enlightened as to the way the game of life is played. The result is that you really do not feel like playing anymore. No, you are not suicidal, but you would rather be left alone. You see the world as superficial and fake. You see the people you love self-destructing right before your very eyes and you have tried to help them only to find that your help is not wanted. You have even wrestled with that concept until you understand that you cannot force others to accept your enlightenment and your wisdom. You cannot force others to accept your views of life, of peace, of balance, of harmony, of personal reflection, and self-accountability. Eventually, like a hermit, you go off to live your simple balanced beautiful little life alone.

This is not the same as the lost souls who do not know who they are or where they are in life. This is about those souls who know exactly who they are, where they are in life, and have a pretty good idea of where they are heading and what it will look like when they get there. These people have ambition, direction, drive, and often some form of a spiritual calling, a higher ideal, or a humanitarian cause that motivates them to give of themselves to humanity in ways that others cannot understand. These souls hear a small voice whispering to them to go public with their peaceful harmonious ways. However, going public is noisy, harsh, rude, prejudiced, and often dangerous for the gentle calm souls. Therefore, they hide.

Anger and pain controls a lot of people. It is a sad fact. We all know someone who still allows their childhood wounds to dictate and control their every decision. We all know of people who are afraid to really open up and love someone else for fear of being rejected and hurt again. Anger is a passionate motivator. People who are really ticked off are seldom docile and quiet about it. Take an angry mob and see how long you can keep them in a peaceful calm quiet logical state. Anger is overwhelming and powerful. It controls and threatens whatever looks like the source of that rage, fear, or pain.

Now look at love and inner peace. By nature, love is not controlling or dominating. It is a light that shines and warms, but it does not push and shove. Take a crowd of people who are all in a loving openhearted peaceful state, like a congregation after listening to a beautiful uplifting sermon, or an audience who has just watched a musician play something amazingly spellbinding that touches their deepest heart. For just a moment, the crowd sits awash in the joyful calm not wanting to break the sacred silence.

The hidden souls are trying to live their lives like that congregation and the truth is, it is hard to hold onto our warm cozy feelings while being cut off in traffic, screamed at by irate customers, and listening to a critic say that we aren’t very good at whatever gift we are trying to offer the world. It is so much easier for the musician to play alone in his room, the writer journals just for herself, the artist hides his work away, and the heart does not reach out to new people anymore. These people hide their gentle souls because they want to remain gentle in a world that is harsh and often cruel.

Then that small voice of spirit calls out from the inner sanctuary of our minds telling us we must come forward and share our gifts. “The world needs your gift as much as you need to share it.” Terrified, we wrestle with that guiding voice telling it to leave us alone in our hermit’s nest. It is in that struggle to maintain our loving hearts while confronted with other people’s hatred that we find just how sacred the love in our hearts is.

You were taught how to hold an inner light while held safely away from the chaos and ugliness of the “real world.” You were spiritually healed, taught, and enlightened in your safe sanctuary, but that is just a false world designed for the beginner to learn. Once you have mastered your own heart and mind and have learned how to be a truly beautifully balanced loving soul, then you will be kicked out of the nest and told to go spread that light. Yes, you are different from what appears to be the norm. You won’t know how many others are out there just like you until you come out of your hiding spot and begin to interact on a deep heartfelt level with all of humanity.

You must step into the darkness or nobody will know that you are a shining light, my dear. Yes, I know you are content to simply light up your safe secret little corner of the world. Yes, I know that you no longer have an ego attachment that needs for the world to see you as shining and glorious. You would be perfectly content hiding away in your sanctuary, working, singing, laughing, and loving just the safest people that you have met. However, it is not for you that you must shine your light into the darkness. It is for those lost souls who are frightened, broken, and alone. It is so seldom that a Gandhi or a Mother Theresa appears on the scene, that the lost souls find it hard to believe that unconditional love really exists on a day-to-day level. You do not build lighthouses in safe sunny places. You put them on the edge of the shore where the storms are. You are a beacon of light in the storm of humanity. Deal with it, and get to work doing what you were trained to do.

Quote of the Week:

I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. - Helen Keller

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. - Pearl S Buck

Nothing great has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances. - Bruce Barton, advertising executive



Feature Article of the Week:


The Loneliness of Personal Growth

The cream rises to the top. That means that it separates itself from the milk. Perhaps that is what the New Age Movement is really all about. We tell ourselves that it’s lonely at the top. Yes, it is. Maybe we have to figure out how to maintain ourselves as cream, but also stay whipped up within the milk? I am picturing some sort of luscious desert all decadent and wonderful… like hot cocoa with the marshmallows stirred in rather than just floating on top. But then the marshmallow is no longer a unique wonderful treat; it has been broken down into the masses and lost its integrity. It is a different lesson that comes into play after you have experienced a decent bit of enlightenment and growth.

Look at the kid who grows up poor. He travels along his journey and decides to change what he is experiencing. So, as he moves through life, he makes a conscious effort to enlighten himself about how to create an abundant lifestyle. He eventually accomplishes his goals and has a wonderful house, cars, money to vacation with his wife and children. His kids will not have to work so hard. He has their college money stashed away right alongside of his retirement fund. He is abundant, successful, and rich. What are the chances that the friends he grew up with are still around? Not very good. Most people who experience the fulfillment of choosing to succeed in that area end up having to leave their friends behind. Often family members will get upset and shun them too. He is treated like some sort of a bad person for having succeeded while his peers failed. Eventually he has to find new friends and maybe even new family.

It is no different with political enlightenment, spiritual enlightenment, or even becoming enlightened about relating to each other. The more mentally healthy you become, the more spiritual, the more balanced, the more wealthy, the more global you become… the more alone you may feel. Often, we find ourselves unable to find those other rare individuals who are choosing the same path as ours. The path of sloppy and lazy is full of other people to meet and talk to. The path of whiners is full. The path of being safe, generic, and boring is so crowded you almost cannot even move forward. Isn’t that why you left that path? You had a need to move forward, a need for some elbowroom, a need to spread your arms wide, a need to be seen as special, unique, different. The masses may admire you, but they are not going to be able to really relate to you. You will be alone much of the time.

The best thing that has happened to those of us on this particular path is the Internet. The planet just got a whole lot smaller and we can find our colleagues. The percentage of us versus them has not changed. We are still in the minority, but at least we can find each other and encourage each other to hold strong. Knowing that there are others out there who are just like us makes it easier to hold our heads up high, throw our shoulders back, and say loud and clear, “I am what I am and I am not ashamed and I will not hide anymore.” This holds true whether you are standing up proud to be a Christian, or Gay, or New Age, or amassing wealth, or raising your kids to be more than just disgruntled employees. When you become enlightened in some area, it is wonderful to find out that you are not alone, and through the Internet, you can find cheerleaders.

Yes, I suppose some could gather up their numbers and start wars and battles over religions or whatever else, but as we become more and more enlightened on all levels, we learn to appreciate the value of being on all paths. We learn that it is not important for all people to represent ‘light’ and to try to outshine the ‘dark’. Without the ‘dark’ the ‘light’ has nothing to shine into. Those whom we deem as ‘dark’ actually give us purpose. They give us a reason to shine our own ‘light.’ The act of war in and of itself is ‘dark’ and therefore you have lost your own ‘light’ while participating. I am not about to claim that I am above such things, just that in that moment of aggression, my own light does not shine no matter how valiant the cause.

I think it is the loneliness of personal growth that scares us into thinking we have to convert everyone else onto our path. Sometimes, it is an innocent zealousness over our newfound ideals and beliefs, but when people are really focused on converting others, it is usually out of a need to feel better about the sheer numbers. How many of us use the statistical head count of those who agree with us as proof and validation that we must be right? If you continue on with your own personal growth long enough, you will no longer require any one else’s agreement to validate who or what you are. We are a social animal and as such will always hunger for connection with each other. But we will not always need to agree with each other in order to connect on a heart-to-heart level.

Do not be afraid of the loneliness of enlightenment. Do not force others to agree with you. Simply give your heart and know that you are growing and that they are free to grow or not. It is the nature of the game. We are all free to choose our paths. Those individuals that would bully, harm, or even kill someone for their beliefs will not change the other person’s beliefs; they simply weaken their own cause. If we are truly spiritual, then we must be able to allow others the privilege of being wrong!

Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change. - Jim Rohn



Feature Article of the Week:


Fixing What is Broken

One of the hardest things to do is remaining married to someone ‘until death do us part.’ Being in love is not very difficult. It is the blending of lives, blending of belief systems, blending of extended families, and the daily hassles of putting up with the same roommate until the day you die. There are plenty of temptations to pull you away from your spouse too. The obvious example that comes to mind is the tantalizing opportunity to have sexual relationship with someone other than your spouse. However, there are other forms of infidelity; workaholic, alcoholic, shopaholic, sports addict, computer addict, drug addict, and so on. The idea is that we allow these things to take priority over our spouse. One of the most difficult things to address is the children and their ability to come between the parents. I’m not saying that children’s needs are not important, especially when they are quite young, but we do have a tendency to let their needs become so much more important than our spouse’s that the marriage can begin to fall apart. Do I even need to mention what financial problems can do to a marriage? Plenty of studies have shown that it is the number one topic couples argue about. Without judging and analyzing each of these various triggers that can add to marital problems, let’s look at the steps that need to be taken in order to fix the marriage once one or more of these things have chipped away at the marriage and things are not looking so loving, supportive, safe, and secure anymore.

The first thing you have to do is decide together that you are both vested in fixing the marriage. If one person wants to save the marriage but the other one does not care or does not feel that the problems can be fixed, then you have a serious issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Without nagging, bitching, or attacking the one who does not have any more faith in the marriage, you have to find out why. Why don’t they think it can be fixed? If they are absolutely convinced that it is over and they want a divorce, then you are going to have a heck of a time trying to change their mind. It has been done, but more often then not, it is too late.

When people want out of a marriage it is because they feel that there is nothing to save. The marriage is completely shattered in their opinion, not just a bit rough around the edges. If there is a pattern of turning over a new leaf without real changes happening, the person may feel that there is no point in trying one more time to fix things. This is especially true of addiction issues and abusive relationships. If you are the one who is sick and tired of being told that the other person will sober up and they never do, or you are on the receiving end of an abusive person and they never change, then you have a right to say, “No, there’s no reason for me to stick around.”

Typically, if both of you are still in love and neither of you has cheated, you are both relatively sober, and neither of you is abusive towards the other or towards your children, then it should not be too difficult to convince the other person that the marriage is worth saving. Both of you have to completely commit to fixing the problems and you have to look at what that means.

The second thing you both have to look at is why the relationship is broken. What happened? What issues, outside people, and other interests are being put above the marriage? Who is more important to you in your heart of hearts than your spouse is? Who is allowed to treat your partner like garbage while you sit by allowing it to happen? Are there issues with one or both of you feeling that nobody appreciates what you contribute to the marriage? Is there a gross misallocation of work or resources? Does one person do all of the work while the other one sits around doing nothing? Does one person have control over the purse strings to the point that the other has to ask permission just to buy a pack of gum? Did you simply forget to keep the romantic fires burning? There are as many ways to break up a marriage, as there are marriages to break. Together, without fighting, you both have to sit down and make a list of all of the people, issues, and behavior patterns that are chipping away at your ‘happily ever after.’ It is going to be difficult not to argue and bicker about the items as they are placed on the list. You both have to remember the goal is to identify the sources of pain and problems, if you are getting worked up just writing them down on a list, then it is a pretty good bet that they are causing the marriage to fall apart. Now, look over the list together and ask each other again if you are both committed to fixing these problems in order to save the marriage.

The third step is much easier than the other two, but can take a lot longer to accomplish. Many people cannot get to the third step, which is why there are so many divorces. At this point, you each have to look at the problems, influences, and issues on the list and decide which ones you personally can fix, heal, change, eliminate, solve, or forgive. Make a plan together. Which things need to be addressed first? Which things will probably solve themselves if the other problems are removed? There is often a snowball effect; one or two big problems cause many little irritating side effects. Identify the roots of the problems and attack those first. Then, you both roll up your sleeves and get to work. You know what needs done and you know that your spouse is as committed as you are to saving your marriage, so do whatever needs done. Do it as quickly as you can, dragging out the process of healing will destroy the other person’s belief that you are truly committed to the relationship. Work hard, work fast, work smart, and do not take your eye off the goal. No matter how difficult it is to tackle the various problems and issues, keep a smile on your face and remember that at the end of this dark place in your marriage there is a light… a beautiful loving safe light as two hearts come together as one, “until death do us part.”

Feature Article of the Week:


Is This The One?

Isn’t that the million-dollar question? How can I tell if this is the one? Is this one my soulmate? How will I know when I find the right one? There is no magic answer, but I can tell you what seems to work. I asked a psychic one time if a certain person was my soulmate. His answer, “If you have to ask, then he’s not the one.” He went on to explain that with soulmates no matter how good or bad a day you have together, you wake up in the morning knowing without a doubt that this is the one and you go to bed at night knowing without a doubt that this is the one. Nothing that happens in between those two points can change your mind.

Whenever I find happily married couples in their fifties or older who have been married for most of their lives to each other, I always ask them, “How did you know this was the one?” Every single one of the men answered the same way. They all said that the first time they laid eyes on the girl, they knew in that moment that they would eventually marry her. For every one of those men it was love at first sight. “But why that one? What made you fall in love with that particular woman at first glance?” Each one answers differently, but they all have a vague unanswerable quality that the guy just knew she was it before they even knew what the girl’s name was.

The women all said they thought the guy was nice enough, just okay, or a little goofy but not too bad. None of the women fell head over heels right away. The women were all living a happy upbeat life and were not really searching for a husband when the guy came along. That may be a big part of the mystique that these women created. They were not needy or desperate. Truth be told all of the lifetime happily married women I know are very strong and independent, but loyal and loving women. None of them are nags or codependent types.

The thing that all of these couples have in common is that the each one was relatively happy and mentally healthy going about their lives, their goals, and their dreams. All of them planned to someday fall in love and get married to one person for life but none were attached to a soulmate type concept or ideal. None of these people was sexually loose but they were not complete prudes either. They chose not to sleep around because they had a strong sense of self-respect. Some had religious beliefs that added to the dynamic and others did not. All were of a mindset that you simply should not whore around for the heck of it.

In all cases, the man chased the woman. You have to remember the deep underlying needs of the male and females of our species. The man must hunt and conquer. If she is too easy to catch, then there must be something wrong with her. Right or wrong, men have a very deep down need to ‘win’ the girl. They were all upbeat, bright, kind, loving women with full happy lives of their own. None of the women were pushovers and none of the women were easy to ‘win.’ It was always love at first sight on the man’s end, but not on the woman’s. The women were not cold and unapproachable, so the men were able to charm them and ‘win’ them over. All of these relationships had at least a two-year courtship and engagement period. Their eyes were wide open when they said, “I do.”

Were they soulmates or just lucky? It depends on how you define soulmates. If you define a soulmate as your cosmic twin, then I would say no these people were very different types that hooked up and stayed happy together for life. In one example, the woman was a devout Catholic and the husband was just sort of generic Christian. She did not try to convert him and he respected her need to go to Mass every Sunday. No, he did not become any more or less of a Christian then he already was. They each respected the other’s right to be who they were. Nobody tried to change anybody. Who they fell in love with is who they stayed in love with. In another example, he was from an extremely conservative religion and she was very lightly Christian. She completely changed her entire way of life to be with him. She gave up makeup, stylish haircuts, jewelry and sexy clothes to become almost Amish in her life with him. She never regretted it because he was everything to her and she came to agree with his family’s religious beliefs. In none of the relationships were the couples a twin copy of the other. Yes, every one of those couples struggled in the first years of their marriage to find a balance between ‘me’ and ‘we’. Every one of those couples had to learn to listen, to compromise, to be fully present in the moment, and to show their love in a way that resonated with the other. However, they all managed to live that elusive ‘happily ever after’ that the rest of us only dream of.

If you define a soulmate as the right one for you, the one you were meant to spend the rest of your life with, the one specially designed to create ‘happily ever after’ with you, then yes, they were soulmates. No matter how bad things got, these couples never ever contemplated divorce. They did not stay together because of a vow before God. They stayed together because they could not fathom the concept of not loving the other one. Every morning they woke up knowing they were both in love. Every night they went to sleep knowing they were both in love.
