NASCAR in Charlotte ~ Casey Mears gets 1st Cup Victory!

Well, once again, HMS Rules at Lowes, as HMS has ruled the season so far. Congrats to Casey Mears for his first Cup win and his second place finish last night. He earned his stripes. When Denny Hamlin had to go in for a splash, that was that. Mears, running far ahead of J.J. had the deal done at that point. He ran a great race. It was fun to see him get his first win.
Casey Mears first Cup win!!

Alas, I must admit, I was cheering for him to run out of gas or have a tire go down. I really like “Lil’ Amigo” Yeley, and I was cheering for him to still take 2nd.
I so wanted to see Kyle Petty get that win. Wouldn’t that have been great! Congrats to his finest finish in 10 years. I was wondering if he would really cut his ponytail off, or has he become attached to it. Reed Sorenson had a great surprise 4th place finish.

I felt bad for Biff, being the first to biff.
The garage guys were busy today. Sheesh!
My heart just broke when Jeff Gordon butt bumped the wall and fell into pieces. Darn. Personally, I like the point standings a little closer, a little more unpredictable, Nothing against Jeff, of course.

The Toyota’s showed some stuff this weekend. I will lay a prediction down right now so I can say I told you so:
The Toyota teams will kick butt next year.

Jeremy Mayfield got a new crew chief and led the race a lap for his birthday present. It’s good to see him back, and running well. Vickers and Jarrett too. The Great Rooster showed he can still crow.
Jarrett was driving his heart out,showing he still has the stuff that made him the Champ that he is. Vickers was hot. He also may have made his jackman feel a little heat rush from narrowly averting disaster. Scary.

One of the saddest moments of the race for me was when Carl Edwards lost his tire and took out both Bill Elliot and David Ragan. How Mears missed that I will never know. David Ragan showed what he was made of today. He has such a great attitude. I took a look at his natal chart, and we can expect big things from him in the future. He has the Sun in his 10th house, which is the House of Fame and Fortune. All the Big Boys have it.

What is it about Charlotte and Aliens this year? Perhaps the conspiracy is finally being broken, with the Light side prevaling. Come back to the Light…come back…The proof can be found here…All in all it was a great race. Ryan continued to drive like the RocketMan he is, and despite the issue today, his lucky streak isn’t over, by any means. It’s just beginning. Tony showed his stuff once more, and stays consistantly, right where he needs to be. The finish results broke up the monotony of the first portion of the season. The standings have changed a bit. I want to see the Baby Alien out and Jr. in.

Now if Ingrid will just have the baby during a race that will be great. BUT…I predict that they will induce the baby a fews days early to avoid any point conflicts. Little girls can surprise you ‘tho. Maybe, just maybe, she will decide to come zooooooming out when she wants too, not when planned… Start her life out as an unpredictable little woman, as all women should be.

When Denny Hamlin had to go in for a splash, that was that. Mears, running far ahead of J.J., had the deal done at that point. He ran a great race. It was fun to see his face. I think he was surprised.

NASCAR ~ Happy Birthday Jeremy Mayfield! 6 month ‘scope

Happy birthday Jeremy!! Today the Sun returns to the position it was in when you were born.
As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences you feel today will affect the entire year to come. However, this does not mean that the whole year will be disappointing if today doesn’t work out exactly as planned. You are receiving a new impulse from the energy center within you, as symbolized by the Sun. Therefore any new venture that you start at this time will ride the crest of this new energy and will very likely come to an acceptable conclusion. Whatever you do or begin today will bear the stamp of your individuality more than anything else. This is the day to assert yourself anew.

Here is Jeremy’s 6 month forecast:

Your sun sign is Gemini. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Leo, and your Moon is in Libra.

Jupiter conjunction Mars: An exuberant time

Mid January 2007 until mid September 2007: This is a very exuberant time, with high energies. You feel physically strong and fit, and you are more willing to be active and take chances than at other times. Vigorous physical activity is one of the best ways to use this energy, which strengthens your body and allows you to accomplish more than usual. This is quite a common influence when women give birth, for that is a kind of physical action that it seems to favor especially. However, in itself this influence does not indicate pregnancy.

Almost anything that you direct your energies to, especially an activity that requires a lot of energy, will seem to flow and happen as if you were not making any effort at all. It is important to realize, however, that you are in fact working quite hard; after this period, and even during it to some extent, you will need to stop a while and rest. One of the problems at this time is that because you don’t realize how hard your body and mind are working, there is a real danger that you will overwork yourself. Certainly, if you are not in excellent physical condition you should not take up heavy physical work without preparing for it, but that is just what you might do with this influence.

This is a good time to begin a new project, as long as you don’t overextend yourself. You have much more initiative than usual, and you can accomplish a great deal by yourself. Working with others may be frustrating, because it is hard for you to put up with their slower pace.

Often this influence is expressed through doing something that requires a magnificent sense of timing or planning. Or you will do something that works out very well for you in the long run. Even if it doesn’t require great energy, it will pay great dividends in the future.

Your sun sign is Gemini. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Leo, and your Moon is in Libra.

Jupiter conjunction Mars: An exuberant time

Mid January 2007 until mid September 2007: This is a very exuberant time, with high energies.

Jupiter sextile Moon: Warmth and generosity

End of January 2007 until beginning of October 2007: This influence makes you feel quite good, optimistic and positive about life in general. You have strong feelings of warmth and generosity toward others, particularly friends and those whom you encounter on a day-to-day basis. You feel that you would like to protect and care for everyone you meet.

You will derive uncommonly deep experiences from what appear to be ordinary, routine interactions with others. Your everyday surroundings, your family and relatives will provide satisfactions that may be missing at other times. And these encounters will provide opportunities to grow and to enlarge your life. The usually confined limits of daily routine can actually become the vehicle for new chances and opportunities.

Cultivate your friendships, for there is a good chance that a friend will be able to perform a valuable service for you at this time. And it is just as likely that you will do the same for a friend. In either case you will come out ahead. Friendships or other relationships with women quite often prove rewarding at this time, with various benefits. You could have an emotional experience that enriches you, or a business opportunity, or she could act as a guide to aspects of yourself that you do not normally experience, but which help you come to complete self-understanding.

This influence may stimulate your interest in spiritual or religious matters, usually in the form of a renewed interest in the religious or spiritual beliefs that you learned as a child. Such experiences from your past can be very valuable to you now. Reliving them does not mean you are backsliding to attitudes that you have outgrown. There is still something there for you to realize and learn from.

On occasion this influence signifies that you are in the public eye or that you have to deal with large groups of people in some way. In either case, you should be successful.

Neptune sextile Venus: It can be real

Beginning of April 2007 until beginning of February 2009: This influence stimulates your creative imagination and is likely to put you into a very pleasant and dreamy frame of mind, in which you will be capable of great creativity. You may not act very practically, however. If you have any creative or artistic talent, this will be a good time for using it. Your sense of color will be heightened, and your sense of form and design will be improved. Even if you are not especially artistic, you should surround yourself with various forms of beauty in order to better appreciate it.

On the emotional front, you are inclined to idealize your partner in a love relationship and not deal very well with her less ideal aspects, the “warts,” so to speak. This influence may in fact bring a very romantic new love. But even though you won’t have a very realistic attitude toward it, you are unlikely to do yourself any harm. The effects of this influence are mild enough so that afterward you can make the necessary adjustment to reality. If the relationship turns out to have no real merit, you will simply drop it with little regret.

While this aspect affects love relationships most strongly, it will affect friendships also. In the name of love for your friend or lover you will be able to act much less selfishly than at other times. Love is more important than getting your own way at this time, and you want to do whatever you can for the person you love. Just make sure that the person you are devoting yourself to is worth the effort. But even if he or she is not worthwhile, the energy you put forth will help you greatly in the long run, because you have been able to act selflessly and give for the sake of giving.

If all other factors are right, this influence can bring a most spiritual love, a true “soul- union.” You may feel that you have met the person who has always been destined for you. And this may in fact be true; with other influences this feeling is often simply an illusion, but with this one it can be real.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant: Following through

25 August 2007 until 10 September 2007: This is one of the most significant times of your life. During this time your responsibilities will increase considerably, and you will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling them. Therefore your life will become more complex and simpler at the same time. You are finishing up certain tasks in your life and going into a five- to eight-year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning. You will be cutting some elements out of your life and working hard to complete others.

During this time you may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done. Old tasks that have never been completed must be finished now. At work, you may have to exert more effort in order to get the job done. Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have. This may not be a very light-hearted time, but it should be quite productive. But do not start out on a completely new project, because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it. Finish what is unfinished and simplify your life.

Good relationships will not suffer appreciably during this time, but bad ones will break up completely. You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is unnecessary or in the way of your development during the next few years. Bad or difficult relationships may be among the elements that are discarded.

Try to avoid building a wall between yourself and others, for this is a great danger now. Duty, responsibility and obligations do not preclude personally satisfying relationships, even though you may feel that they do. If you cut yourself off from others unnecessarily, you will become lonely and depressed. The people who belong in your everyday life are very important for you now, especially since you are excluding those who do not belong. Often it is good to seek out the company and advice of older people, for they have the insight and understanding you need.

Saturn trine Saturn: Inner stability

End of September 2007 until end of June 2008: At this time you can incorporate into yourself the fruits of previous successes, look them over and appreciate them for what they were. The key idea is that you are in a position to understand your life and therefore better able to be in conscious control of it. This is not merely an intellectual understanding, it is born of experience. You have lived through certain things, and now you can proceed on the basis of that understanding.

Your business or professional life will run smoothly at this time. Employers and superiors appreciate your calm, controlled way of handling your work, and they can see the results of your past experience. Relationships, which reflect what you are, are also more stable at this time because of your own inner stability.

Your outlook on life has also reached a point of equilibrium. You have a good understanding of how you look at life, and it works well enough that you may not question it very much. The problem is that this is not a time of testing, so you don’t know how well your ideas will stand up to future crisis. You only know how well they withstood past tests. But the future is always different, and what happens in the future depends upon what is true at that time. Therefore you must keep your mind open and flexible. You only know what you know, and that is not everything. Continue to examine yourself and see what could be improved. Even if your life is satisfactory now, it may not always be.

Saturn square Sun: Patience and perseverance

Mid October 2007 until end of July 2008: This influence represents a time of critical developments. Various factors in the outside world will challenge you strongly, and it may seem difficult to maintain your freedom of action in whatever you are trying to do.

You may feel unusually discouraged at this time, because your vitality is at a low point. It may be best not to struggle too hard against any adversity that comes into your life now. Patience and perseverance will carry you through until your energy level is up again.

Authority figures, such as employers, government officials or parents, may prove difficult to deal with. You may find that they are not receptive to your plans or suggestions, that they resist your efforts. It is advisable to work patiently to bring them around to your point of view. Don’t withdraw from the confrontation, but don’t fight blindly. That would guarantee defeat.

This period of your life is directly linked to a time seven years ago, a time of new beginnings for you. This time now is made especially difficult by the fact that many of these projects have been going quite well, and the current difficulties seem totally unexpected.

However, this is a period of trial, which will demonstrate whether or not those new beginnings were valid. Anything invalid is likely to fall by the wayside. You will probably regard it as a failure. But you may not be aware right away that this is happening, especially if you are not paying close attention.

Your ambitions may be thwarted now, but be patient and make sure you are on the right course. If you are, this period will be a trial rather than a defeat. Even if it is a defeat, you can still accomplish a great deal by transferring your energies to more productive areas.

I shall not nix Ryan’s luck.
His scope is good and everyone else sucks.
Well…Almost.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
This influence brings all relationships into focus. Usually it is a rather easy and pleasant time, but it can release the hidden tensions in your relationships and force them out into the open where you will have to deal with them. This influence signifies that you will encounter yourself through your different relationships. The good ones will remain good, but the bad ones may become unstable and difficult.
You should learn a great deal about yourself. In particular you may notice that you don’t want to be alone and that you cannot operate without a close relationship with a lover, a friend or even someone whom you consult about a problem. You should not try to go it alone today.
Because you are the most enlightened Old Soul in NASCAR, you already know all these things and are putting them into play. Just like the Stars say you will:)

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
During this time you tend to think about your goals and expectations in life. You will examine your ideals to find out exactly how well they have served you and to what extent you have attained them. You should also think about whether your goals are really your own or whether they are in part other people’s goals that you have adopted for yourself. At this time you need and will have more verbal and intellectual exchanges with friends and with other groups that you are associated with. Talking over your problems with friends will be especially helpful in reaching an objective viewpoint. But keep in mind that talking things over with friends cannot free you from prejudices and preconceptions that are held by the entire group.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Probably it would be best to be with old friends whom you know well and with whom you have already established strong emotional ties. But you will not be closed to new acquaintances. You make it clear to those around you that you are concerned for their welfare and that you will help them out if they ever need it. And the chances are that they feel the same way about you. This influence denotes a time when you and your friends support each other and feel that you belong together. This is a good time for any sort of group activity, because by working together you all will feel that it is a group effort from which everyone will benefit equally. And this is true.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
This is a good time for any kind of study and education, because you are intellectually eager for knowledge and new experiences. You want to take a larger view of life in order to see how the various parts fit together to make up the whole. Any new and interesting phenomenon from a world outside your own is likely to attract your attention at this time. It is possible that you may have some dealings with officials connected with the law, although you should not fear this possibility particularly. It is a good time to travel, because your curiosity makes travel very interesting to you. You are also quite open to alternative lifestyles at this time. **uh-oh. That’s the same aspect we had in Phoenix awhile back. You know, the one that ended up awarding him with a star. Don not assault Thy Brother, Elder Alien.**

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
At its highest, this influence indicates an unusual degree of selflessness. Do not fall into the negative trap of playing martyr. Do not inflict on others, especially the ones you are helping, a constant awareness that you are “unselfishly” devoting yourself to them. This will undo your efforts and create trouble. If you cannot service with a true spirit of selfless devotion, do nothing.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
This influence is far from difficult. One of the few problems that can come with this influence is a reluctance to voice your real complaints for fear of being unpleasant. You will try to smooth over ruffled feelings wherever you go. You will enjoy being with people and going out to have a good time, but this may cause you to avoid work that must be done and to be self-indulgent. Be careful of doing anything to excess and avoid wasting money on items that appeal to your fancy now but do not have any lasting merit or appeal. Self-discipline is not one of the strong points of this influence.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
This is a good day for carrying out plans that you have been making, for making decisions and for communicating with others about important matters. However, there is one danger with this influence. you will hear other people’s ideas, you may not heed them adequately. It is not enough to play around in your mind with new ideas; you must also allow them to affect your own thinking. Do not be so caught up in your own cleverness that you cannot see it in others. But if you keep the dangers in mind, you can do extremely good work under this influence and make it come out well. As long as your frame of reference is objective and you see the needs of others as clearly as your own, your thinking will be very effective.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Same as Jeff Gordon’s.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
No weak compromises!
Normally this is a very pleasant time with little difficulty. You seek out good times and pleasurable forms of recreation, and you may not feel much like working. You will be more interested in your own well-being and in indulging yourself than in accomplishing great works. Obviously, this can be either bad or good according to the circumstances. This influence is usually good for all social interaction and for getting along with people. Love relationships are favorably affected. You will not be very self-assertive today. If you find yourself in conflict with someone, you will compromise rather than fight. Only be careful not to give up something that is important to you.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
During this time your emotional experiences are much more intense than usual, which is reflected in the kinds of people and situations that you are drawn to. You may draw in unusually intense or powerful people who have a strong effect upon you. Very often through your emotional encounters with these people, you experience moods and feelings that are quite different from your “normal” self. You may ask if this is really you, it seems so different. And you may also desire something that belongs to someone else, or you may desire greater control over something that is both yours and another’s. In either case you must recognize that your attachment serves no real purpose and that it is a potential source of trouble.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
You may feel like doing very little, and certainly you will not be very self-assertive. But you are able to work with a spirit of true self-sacrifice and a desire to help others. Now you are more conscious of other people’s needs and wants, because your own ego needs aren’t very great. The only problem to watch out for is the temptation to view yourself as a kind of “savior” helping those who are lower or worse off than yourself. This influence can always create illusions, and you may think you are being totally unselfish when you are really on one of the strongest but subtlest ego trips of all. This is a good time to look at your life objectively to see what it really is without judging or condemning.
John Pal the Pope of Motorsports is the same as Jimmie’s.
Hmmm…Interesting race.

Stayed Tuned for more Ryan Newman Good Luck.
Tally Ho!! Onward!

NASCAR Alien’s crash in N.C.

The All Star Challenge brought me one of my dreams come true. Crash!
That’s all I have to say right now, except for:
WAY TO GO RYAN!! YOU ARE DOING IT!!
Oh …and congrat’s to Kevo!!

I got word last night that there is an old guy from S.C. up at one the gold mines in the Canyon, that used to be one of Dale Sr.’s body guards. I am going to run up and go see if the rumor is true or not.
Tally Ho!!

NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for the All Star Challenge

Here are some of the most significant aspect’s in the driver’s scopes for tomorow. I will be adding more throughout the day.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
This influence is generally good for the flow of ideas and communication between you and others. You are intellectually alive, curious and willing to learn. This is a good day to attend something competitive. You are willing to have people challenge your ideas and thereby broaden your thinking. At the same time you are happy to share your insights on any subject. Thus all interchange with others today should be fruitful and expansive, both for yourself and for the people you meet, In the course of daily business you may cover a lot more ground than usual. This is a good day for conferences and negotiations in which it is important to make yourself clear to others.
GO D.J. GO!!

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
This influence is good for all kinds of relationships in that all your contacts with others this morning are warm and emotional. You do not choose superficial or formal contacts but instead desire to make a personal connection with everyone you meet.At the same time you feel a strong need to protect and nurture those whom you are close to. There is something of the maternal instinct in the way you care for others. You are also very sensitive to people’s emotional needs and wants, which enables you to respond to them at a very deep level of understanding. You will want to feel that you belong to any group that you associate with at this time. Fortunately you will also be able to make others feel that they belong with you. Your emotions are so much closer to the surface of your being that you can see them clearly.
Mars Square Jupiter in Ryan’s chart can also mean:
This can be a time of very successful energetic activity, if you proceed cautiously enough. You may be infected with an unjustified optimism that anything you do today will “turn to gold.” It may, but it won’t happen by luck. It will happen through intelligent planning and foresight, which are available to you under this influence if you make a conscious effort to take advantage of them. You act for the future under this influence, because you are more concerned with what can be done than with what is. Therefore this is a good time for furthering new projects. But do not overextend yourself and go beyond your resources, which is another temptation now. Also your fondness for taking risks can lead to accidents at this time, so be careful. You are not unlucky, you are just somewhat impulsive.
But of course, Ryan being the enlightened being that he is, heeds these “cautions” and pays attention.

Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959
This influence arouses your sexual drives and makes you seek a physical relationship. ( **Remember…a strong sexual aspect means aggression)
you will be able to give and receive from each other and thereby gain gratification through the relationship. Entertainment and fun are two key themes of this time, which favors get-togethers and parties. You will get the greatest personal satisfaction from associating with others and having a good time.You will enjoy any activity much more if you can share it with others, for this is a very gregarious influence. This is a good time for artistic activity, as well as for getting together with others for artistic purposes. This influence should present you with ample opportunities to fulfill both needs.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Sun trine Pluto signifies that you need very intense and powerful experiences today so that you can learn everything possible about the inner workings of the world in general and your life in particular. This is an excellent day for taking up any kind of investigation or study. Look within yourself to determine what motivates you, what you are seeking in life and what changes you should make so that your life will run more smoothly. The transformative energies in your life now allow you to make changes rather easily and to derive great satisfaction from making them. In your contacts with others you can, if you choose, express yourself forcefully and with considerable impact. This is a good time to make an impression on someone, if you need to, but do not use this energy for ruthless or selfish purposes.
Venus Square Chiron brings in an even more intense aspect.During this time you probably feel hurt, offended or ignored and therefore you have withdrawn into yourself, and do not allow anyone to get really close to you. At the same time, though, deep down you want to participate, enjoy life, love and be loved. Nevertheless, you should not expect too much of yourself in this respect. You probably need seclusion or a withdrawal to get over everything. In that case you should not bury yourself in your pain as that will not make things better. You will possibly find that the behavior of the other person was unintentional, and that your present situation mainly mirrors your own sensitivity.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Be extremely careful of your tendency toward moody irritability at this time. You are very subject to outbreaks of irrational and compulsive behavior that will not serve your best interests. You may find yourself snapping at someone for almost no reason. Close domestic relationships are the most likely theater for your fireworks. It will be harder to deal with your loved ones because of the ferment in your own mind at this time. On the other hand, long-buried tensions may surface now and demand to be handled. The problem is that they may surface in such a way that you cannot readily figure out where they have come from. Frustrated energies in disguised form mean that you should not take emotional upheaval at face value during this time. The tensions are significant, but not what they seem. It is possible that you hurt yourself and others when it comes to arguments with people who are very close to you – a good friend or, of course, your partner if you are in a relationship. As a result of your current, possibly somewhat more self-confident and demanding style, you may unintentionally hurt and provoke your counterpart into delivering a blow below the belt. For this reason, you should now make a conscious effort to be especially careful to respect the feelings and sensitivities of others.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
This influence makes you think a great deal about your relationships to others, not in unhappy terms, but quite positively.You are much more willing to give up what you normally consider your inalienable rights for the sake of maintaining peace and harmony. You are in a compromising mood and feel that few problems are important enough to warrant fighting over. Obviously this has its bad and good side, but for most people this influence has a very cheering and positive effect. You want to do what you can to help anyone who is having problems, even if it is just a kind word.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
This influence signifies that you need very intense and powerful experiences today so that you can learn everything possible about the inner workings of the world in general and your life in particular. This is an excellent day for taking up any kind of investigation or study. Look within yourself to determine what motivates you, what you are seeking in life and what changes you should make so that your life will run more smoothly. The transformative energies in your life now allow you to make changes rather easily and to derive great satisfaction from making them. In your contacts with others you can, if you choose, express yourself forcefully and with considerable impact. This is a good time to make an impression on someone, if you need to, but do not use this energy for ruthless or selfish purposes.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! Nothing but sexual stuff. VERY AGGRESSIVE and DETERMINED. Animalistic drive.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
During this time most people have to deal with feelings of doubt, discouragement and inadequacy. Also you may find yourself unpleasantly confronted by the consequences of past actions that you hoped would simply go away. The challenge is to confront them without caving in and feeling hopeless. Now you will question whether you are doing what you should with your life. The temptation is to decide that you are not, and to give up.Others may try to convince you that you are on the wrong course. Of course, you may in fact be wrong in some area, and there you should change course. But you must avoid the tendency to cave in. Evaluate what you are doing in your own terms, not someone else’s, and decide whether you are acting properly in various matters.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
With this influence you have a clear idea of what you are doing and where you are headed. You feel that you know who you are and are therefore confident that you can achieve your objectives. But with this influence also comes a knowledge of and mastery over the material resourses and techniques for achieving your ends. You need more than mere self-confidence to achieve anything, as you are well aware. So you will work diligently at whatever task you set yourself today, paying great attention to detail and making thorough use of all the material that will help you accomplish your task. You feel pride in knowing that you have done good work as well as in knowing that you have moved one step closer to your goals. Therefore you will also gain the respect of others today.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
At this time you focus your concerns upon your most intimate personal life and the people who affect it most, your family and parents. You will want to be in familiar surroundings now and feel that you have some kind of center or place where you can build a solid base for your activities. Although you should continue to live up to the demands of the outer world, because your personal life is interdependent with it, you should focus most of your attention inward. Not only inward to your personal life, but also inward in a psychological sense. If necessary, go off by yourself and spend time in contemplation or meditation. Events that occurred in the past may come back to you now through memories and through consequences of those events that continue to affect you now.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Usually this influence increases the flow of communication and ideas between yourself and other people. However, it can also indicate serious ego conflicts and conflicts of will expressed verbally.
If you are not careful how you use your resources, you will encounter turbulence and difficulty. You may feel that you have an urgent message to deliver today, and you may find it difficult to wait for the chance to express yourself. When you have said what you wanted to say, others may be strongly opposed to it. A compromise may be necessary, but it will not be easy to bring about except by introducing a third party into the discussion. Just be careful that the third party is really neutral and that both you and your opponent are convinced of that.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

matt-thumbs-up.jpgI just received this press release from a driver I am proud to call my “friend”. Matt Poole caught my eye a while ago, when I happened to come across his website. After visiting his website and finding out more about him, I discovered why Chris Lafferty had given him a chance. He is a marvelous human being. His dream of racing came from the death of his mother and shortly afterward, his best friend Tanya was murdered by her husband, leaving behind two young children. He is dedicated to keeping her memory alive and helping her children. He is dedicated to The Victory Junction Gang. I hope you will all visit his website, get to know him and his dreams and what is behind them, feel his story and consider what I feel is a good cause.
We all donate to our favorite charities. We are all NASCAR fans and we are good people. Matt needs safety equipment.
Good safety equipment. He pays for his own expenses back and forth from Maryland to Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory N.C. for each test. Matt is a painter by trade, and needs some help. I think he is worth helping.
What I would like to see is if we could all donate $10 to Matt’s need for safety equipment, and get on the horn calling manufacturers and retailers, we can get Matt what he needs.

Here is Matt’s latest press release.

For Immediate Release

MATT POOLE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES SECOND TEST FOR LAFFERTY MOTORSPORTS
Lafferty Motorsports is pleased to announce that Matt Poole of Pittsville, Maryland, has successfully completed his second test for Lafferty Motorsports on Friday, April 13th at Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, NC. Matt’s second test included logging laps in Chris Lafferty’s Late Model car, as well as the #89 Craftsman Truck. Lafferty Motorsports fields an entry in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series as well as the ARCA Remax Series. Lafferty Motorsports is a subsidiary of Lafferty Engine Creations, a nationally recognized leader in combustion technology. LEC is known for being one of the best engine building companies in NASCAR.

Lafferty Motorsports, through the guidance of Chris Lafferty and his crew, is giving Matt Poole his introduction into racing through their Driver Development program. Matt Poole is “living his dream” of being a race car driver, with a unique approach to the opportunity. Matt is honoring the memory of loved ones lost. His mother, Peggy Poole passed away from a sudden heart attack in January, 2003. More recently, in May of 2005, one of his dearest friends, Tonya Schultz, was brutally murdered by her husband, who killed her in front of their two young children. After enduring these tragedies in his life, Matt began to actively pursue his dream of racing. He has dedicated any potential race winnings to be donated to the American Heart Association in his mother’s memory, and to the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Tonya’s memory. The donations will be made on behalf of Matt, and his car owner Chris Lafferty, and potential sponsors.

Chris Lafferty’s agenda for Matt Poole’s development will begin with competition in Lafferty’s Late Model car, to prepare him for future competition in Lafferty’s Craftsman Truck. Matt picked up right where he left off from his first test session with consistent speeds and lap times in the Late Model. He then climbed into the Craftsman Truck and showed his ability to handle 2 different types of race cars in one test session. Again, Chris Lafferty was very pleased with Matt’s development as he strives in pursuit of his racing dream.

“During this test we put Matt in the late model to start familiarizing him with what should be his first vehicle raced” said Chris Lafferty. “Getting started, nobody ever jumps straight to the ranks of NASCAR’s top three, drivers are brought up slowly through opportunities in “Saturday Night Racing ” at the local short tracks”.
We were very pleased with Matt’s progress”, Chris continued. “It’s fun for us to see how a driver will evolve as we work with them. While we still have a lot of training to do, we are currently trying to work out some deals that will put Matt into real competition at his first ever race”.

“I can’t thank Chris Lafferty enough for the opportunity he has given me”, said Matt after the test. “Chris has a great program for drivers of different experience levels, and I am learning every time I get in one of his race cars. I want to be able to make him and potential sponsors proud of what I am accomplishing, because my childhood dream of racing is coming true thanks to him. I look forward to being able to compete in his car and proudly promote a sponsor”

Potential sponsors are cordially invited to visit Matt Poole’s website, www.crossbowmotorsports.com, or contact Matt Poole at (410) 251 – 2877. You may also visit the Lafferty Motorsports website, www.laffertymotorsports.com or call (704) 795 – 5375 for more information on how your company can go to Victory Lane with Matt Poole.

I felt like I had known Matt forever when I spoke to him. He is a great guy. We recently discovered that we share the same birthday. Odd little coincidence, but I am a firm believer in synchronicity.

The Church of The Great Oval is dedicated for Matt. The biggest need Matt has right now is a fire suit and a Hans devise. If you would like to donate to help Matt right now you can donate, securely here at Matt’s web site or directly through Chris Lafferty.

I am all for supporting NASCAR Day and do donate several of the driver foundations, and The Victory Junction Gang. They get tons of money. Matt doesn’t need much, but Matt does need our help. His next test at Hickory Motor Speedway Read More…

Now we talk NASCAR:)
So…I was a little off on Jimmie. BUT…
Ryan Newman gained five positions in the standings!Ryan started 30th in the lineup, led one lap and finished 6th. This was his third top ten finish and he moved up five spots, the biggest gain of the drivers making all 10 races so far this season.
Right on!!
Things are just going to get better from here for him. Yippity, Skippity!!

I am just sick about D.J. I usually take the position that rules are the rules but not this time. If you have been a Champ, no matter when…you should be honored with a spot in every race. Period. YES. EVEN HENDRICKS DRIVER’S.
There is a lot of noise in Chat rooms and newsletter’s about NASCAR fans that are going to quit watching NASCAR because Jeff and Jimmie or Kyle win or do well. As far as I am concerned, good. Go Away. We don’t need you. You are probably the same idiot’s that are throwing crap at the track and you should be banned from NASCAR for life anyway.

**Snicker of the day ~ Sat.** Did you catch Krista Voda asking J.J. Yeley why he was always talking about Mexican food? ROFLAO!!
“Because I am a Mexican!” he said. **still laughing about that one**
Have a great day all!!

NASCAR ~ Richmond Astro-Predictions

tonya2.jpg
In memory of Tonya

Here are the pertinent drivers with the most significant-”zat” aspects for Richmond today. Unfortunately Dale Jarrett’s ‘scope will not be among them. D.J.’s was awesome for today, lousy all the previous week. Greg Biffle still has the same lousy ‘scope he has had. This aspect’s in effect until May 12th. Bet Biff will be glad when it ends!
The Mercury Opposition Uranus is in several driver’s ‘scopes today, which has a tendency to create a problem with insertion of feet into mouths. This aspect is in Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jr., Jeff Burton, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon’s scope’s.
The Moon goes Void of course today so it doesn’t really matter what any scope says because today is a day where anything can happen to anyone, in the exact manner expected. SO…..I could just make up a bunch of stuff today. In fact I think I will. The made up scope’s will be marked with a triple***.

***Kyle Busch: Wrecks because he isn’t listening to his spotter. He is instead, listening to the lyrics of his favorite song:
“I’m too sexy for my car
too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far.
And I’m too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat
what do you think about that?”
He takes out Jeff Gordon who then is looking at a DNF.
No one gets hurt but his pride, when the song is heard on his in car audio by his crew. Kyle leaves the track, and again there is a crew miscommunication. Jeff Gordon volunteers to finish the race for him and then rams Kyles car into Tony Stewart who takes out Jimmie Johnson, who takes out 24 more cars with him.
Kenny Wallace WINS at Richmond!!

OK, I had my fun for the day til I drink a few beers and watch the race….Here are the real ‘scopes.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Today you experience something like your personal “new Moon,” a time when your mind and body are recharged for the month ahead. Your feelings may now be very strongly influenced by the larger emotional patterns that dominate your life. Usually this influence is felt as a burst of energy in which will, physical vitality and emotions all work together harmoniously. The split between mind and feelings that often plagues us all is not noticeable now, and your relations with others, particularly in interactions with women, will probably work more smoothly than usual. This is an outward reflection of your inner harmony. Group efforts are very favorably affected by this influence, because it gives you greater sensitivity to the feelings of people around you. During the day you are very sensitive to other people’s moods and can judge them quickly. You lend a sympathetic and friendly ear to people’s problems, for you have a strong desire to protect and support your friends emotionally. Peace and harmony in your personal world are very important to you at this time, and you are not willing to deal with someone else’s harsh feelings, except to try to smooth them over. Your sensitivity to other people also enables you to deal easily with groups. You respond to the group’s changes of mood and are able to fit your communication to that mood. Thus this is a good time for any sort of public appearance or situation in which you have to sell something to a group or persuade them of a point of view. You are able to make others feel that you are one of them.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Venus Square Pluto could bring some unwelcome changes. At its best this influence can signify intense emotional experiences within a relationship that draw you in and change your consciousness for a time. But there is also a difficult side to this influence. You may become aware of changes occurring in a relationship to which you will be forced to accommodate. They cannot be ignored, because a real breakdown in your relationship would result. In itself change is not a bad thing. But we crave stability above all else in our relationships, and stability is not available at this time. It will do no good to pretend that change is not happening. Every relationship needs to grow in order to remain healthy and alive. Resist the desire to use subversive tactics to control your loved one, such as manipulating feelings of guilt or responsibility.
The Moon in Tony’s 5th House mellows the previous aspect somewhat:
You need to be yourself now and to feel what you really are. In your relations with others, you will project much more emotionally than usual, and if some people do not like this side of you it may be necessary to reconsider your friendship with them. In love relationships, you will experience greater emotional depth than usual, and consequently your experience with a lover will be much more intense. The only danger to watch out for here is that you may be too possessive of the other person. Also you may be so wrapped up in your own feelings that you are unaware of the other’s feelings. Relations with women in general are improved by this influence. Regardless of your own sex, your experiences with them will very likely show you a great deal about yourself in a positive way.
Moon Trine Ascendant also brings a positive spin to his negative aspect of the day:
This influence is good for all kinds of relationships in that all your contacts with others tonight are warm and emotional. You do not choose superficial or formal contacts but instead desire to make a personal connection with everyone you meet. At the same time you feel a strong need to protect and nurture those whom you are close to. There is something of the maternal instinct in the way you care for others. You are also very sensitive to people’s emotional needs and wants, which enables you to respond to them at a very deep level of understanding. You will want to feel that you belong to any group that you associate with at this time. Fortunately you will also be able to make others feel that they belong with you. Your emotions are so much closer to the surface of your being that you can see them clearly.
*Whew!! Thank goodness for Tony.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Tonight this influence brings about pleasant feelings between you and everyone around you. It is a good time for being with friends or out having a good time. You enjoy everyone around you and they enjoy you. Similarly you will enjoy good food and drink now, but be careful not to overdo it.This is not a good time for getting very much work done, because it often brings out a lazy streak. One exception to this is that you may feel like working to beautify or otherwise improve your home. You need beautiful surroundings, and you will work to get them. This is a good time for love relationships. This influence by itself is too fleeting to start a major relationship, but it certainly is a help.

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975

This is an excellent time for accomplishing all kinds of work. Your energy is high, and you have faith in your ability to achieve. Usually your health is quite good now, and this influence is extremely favorable for all kinds of physical activity.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985 does have Sun Square Jupiter and his Moon in conjunction with Uranus tho. Conflict, and aggression and mistake do rule his chart today.:
You can expect some difficulties with other people under this influence, but you should be able to handle them and even win them over to your side, unless you proceed from a position of arrogant self-righteousness. Be very careful to examine the other person’s point of view and try to find a common ground for cooperation between you. Y will tend to feel impulsive and willing to act rashly. Your moods change so quickly that you surprise yourself as well as others. You may be with someone else who is like this, usually a woman. Probably you will be impatient with your normal routine and want to do something completely different. Assuming that the “something different” is within reason, it is probably all right to go ahead. In fact you might as well not bother trying to be disciplined and responsible for the next few hours. If you have work to do that requires great concentration, you won’t be able to keep your mind on it, or you will do a sloppy job. Usually this is not a sign of conflict, but if someone is trying to hold you back from expressing your impulses, you may get angry at him or her.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
This is a time of inner peace and balance. You have the serenity to look into yourself and come to a deeper understanding of what you want, what you need and how you should go about getting it. You try to live through your feelings as well as your intellect, and you communicate with others at both levels. Since you understand your own moods and feelings so well today, you are also in a good position to assist others in understanding themselves. Through your relationships, particularly those with your partner, you will come to know yourself better than at most other times. Since this is a time of balance and equilibrium, you should study your personal life and find out how to correct any misunderstandings and difficulties with other people. Today you are able to make the compromises necessary to getting along with others.
As I said before, Jeff Gordon’s scope is awesome for the rest of the year, in every area of his life. Ingrid is his lucky star.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
This is a good day for doing something different. You are probably bored with the daily routine and would like to do something that provides a stimulating, unusual change of pace.This is a good time to look around with a critical eye and see what needs to be changed or corrected in your environment. You are very conscious of the flaws in everything you look at, but you are not so overwhelmed that you cannot see the good as well. Your mind is on serious concerns, and although you are not likely to feel depressed or to have other negative feelings, you are not lighthearted or attracted to frivolity either. In this mood you can be either a teacher or one who is taught, perhaps in a formal classroom situation or just in an informal discussion among friends. You respect people who have more experience than you do, and you are likely to turn to them for advice. Or someone else may cast you in this role and come to you for help.
You can read Dale Jr.’s entire forecast’s and aspects at the Infield Parking Forums each week.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969 has the theme of the “Lucky Influence” in his chart today.
Venus Trine Venus: This is a pleasant time that is good for all things in life. Today you tend to attract circumstances,persons or objects, includong money, that can be useful later on. This is a spontaneously “lucky” influence. The quotation marks around “lucky” mean that it is not so much luck that helps you as your attitude of relaxation and willingness to let your life flow without the tension of resistance. Many things are prevented from entering people’s lives because they are too tense to let them in. At other times you might unconsciously alienate a potentially helpful person, or you might be too cautious or overlook an opportunity because of tension. This influence helps to prevent such negative states of consciousness.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980 ~ Kasey’s scope isn’t too bad today. His aspect’s too, for the next six months deserve a closer look. I will publish them soon.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976 has only one major aspect happening today. His Moon is Trine his Moon. (*How doe’s that happen anyway?:) Today during the day you should have a very strong sense of well-being. Your inner self is functioning harmoniously, and you do not feel emotional turmoil or strife. At the same time you are most contented with the familiar elements of your life. You enjoy being at home with relatives and friends, and you like being surrounded by the objects you are used to. You are not in the mood for adventures, challenges and major changes, nor is it necessary to be so. There will be other times for adventure.

Kevin Harvick and Ricky Rudd look like there is some extreme aggression tendencies today, Denny’s, Bobby Labonte’s, David Stremme’s, and Casey Mears, and show the same, but with the aggression may bring some trouble.

Jeff Burton’s scope? Well, all I am going to say is watch out! He’s on a roll.

Last but not by any means least, with Venus Square Sun dominating Juan Pablo chart, it shows he won’t be compromising with anyone today. Obviously, this can be either bad or good according to the circumstances. This influence is usually good for all social interaction and for getting along with people. Love relationships are favorably affected. You will be very self-assertive today. If you find yourself in conflict with someone, you will not compromise but would rather fight. Be careful not to give up something that is important to you.

Well, that’s all I have for today.
Tally Ho LugNutZ!!
Have a great raceday and may Matt Poole win big on a trifecta at the Kentucky Derby today! Godspeed Tonya. You will always be remembered.

NASCAR in Richmond ~ Astro Predictions ~ Tony Stewart’s 6 month forecast

Tony’s ‘scope has some serious major aspect’s in it right now, that deserve a post of it’s own, as Ryan Newman’s did.
Tony is entering a major life phase at this time with many changes to his ego, and complete outlook on life. Here is Tony’s six month ‘scope. His ‘scope will be included with the rest of the Richmond scopes directly after this post.

Tony Stewart, born on 20 May 1971

Pluto square Pluto: Which category?

Beginning of February 2006 until beginning of December 2007: This is a period of general regeneration, which may not be entirely pleasant. Most of us are attached to the past whether or not it is good for us. And this influence will root out precisely those elements of the past that are not good for you, even those aspects that you have forgotten about. Problems that you may have lost track of entirely but which are still working unconsciously in your life may reappear and become active now, usually but not always to your detriment.

This influence is associated with forces for change that are inherent within the hidden depths of things. Therefore you should not blame the unpleasant changes that occur now on circumstances or persons in your environment. Look within yourself to see how the groundwork for the present is laid in the past.

Many things may be destroyed at this time, and the destruction will be ruthless if you defend them with rigidity. The action of this influence upon unyielding entities is particularly harsh. Therefore you should simply allow the things of the past to fade and allow the future to be born on their ruins. If you can do this, the potential for positive change is very great.

This influence may also increase your concern about the creative and regenerative processes within the universe and cause you to become interested in the occult. However, certain aspects of the occult, such as magic, are best avoided during this time, because the energies involved will be difficult to control now. Although your conscious mind may be in control at first, you are likely to find that entirely unconscious forces within you have taken over and are running you completely. This can have disastrous consequences.

You may also get into severe power struggles with people who are trying to prevent the changes in your life or who are trying to expedite changes that you are resisting. Look very carefully to ascertain which category they are in.

Neptune square MC: Apparent defeats

Beginning of March 2006 until end of December 2007: This time in your life is likely to be confusing and full of doubt and fear, if you are not very secure about your life direction. You will ask fundamental questions about what you are trying to do with your life as a whole. And if you, like many people, are not living for yourself and your own objectives, you will probably conclude that what you are doing is worthless and pointless. Even at best you will question your planned course.

In dealing with others, you may find it difficult to stand up for your own position because you are questioning it so much yourself. You may allow yourself to become the victim of other people, simply because you lack the confidence to fight back. But a far worse effect of this influence is that you might get into a routine of making yourself seem to be victim in order to gain others' sympathy. It is difficult to take responsibility when you are feeling insecure. For this same reason there is a strong temptation to avoid direct confrontations with others for fear that you cannot stand up to them. Therefore you may try to get what you want from people in covert or subversive ways, usually involving some kind of dishonesty. Needless to say, this will only worsen your insecurity, not give you more confidence.

But all of the above concerns the worst side of this influence, which does have something positive to teach you. Even as you suffer apparent defeats, you may discover that what you are losing is not really anything significant. You may learn that the needs of your ego are not your real needs at all. Under this influence some persons find a capacity for selfless action and spiritual self-denial that makes it impossible for them ever to lose in a way that hurts them. In that case you will learn that there is really nothing to lose. This influence can be the gateway to a very highly evolved spiritual understanding, and it is quite likely that you will become increasingly involved with spiritual teachings and disciplines. However, it is possible to go off the deep end spiritually, and this influence may very well delude you into doing so. But in the long run this is one of its less dangerous traps.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant: Following through

Beginning of November 2006 until beginning of August 2007: This is one of the most significant times of your life. During this time your responsibilities will increase considerably, and you will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling them. Therefore your life will become more complex and simpler at the same time. You are finishing up certain tasks in your life and going into a five- to eight-year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning. You will be cutting some elements out of your life and working hard to complete others.

During this time you may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done. Old tasks that have never been completed must be finished now. At work, you may have to exert more effort in order to get the job done. Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have. This may not be a very light-hearted time, but it should be quite productive. But do not start out on a completely new project, because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it. Finish what is unfinished and simplify your life.

Good relationships will not suffer appreciably during this time, but bad ones will break up completely. You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is unnecessary or in the way of your development during the next few years. Bad or difficult relationships may be among the elements that are discarded.

Try to avoid building a wall between yourself and others, for this is a great danger now. Duty, responsibility and obligations do not preclude personally satisfying relationships, even though you may feel that they do. If you cut yourself off from others unnecessarily, you will become lonely and depressed. The people who belong in your everyday life are very important for you now, especially since you are excluding those who do not belong. Often it is good to seek out the company and advice of older people, for they have the insight and understanding you need.

Jupiter sextile Uranus: A favorable change

Beginning of January 2007 until end of August 2007: At this time you desire to make positive changes in your life that will lead to greater knowledge and experience. While the energy of this influence is not usually disruptive, it does make you impatient with the routine limitations under which you normally live. You will probably try to make changes in your immediate environment in order to deal with this impatience. It is also quite possible that the changes will occur more or less spontaneously, with little effort on your part.

This influence can be mentally very exciting. You are attracted to new ideas that are challenging in a positive way. Not only are you receptive to them, but you can grasp them more easily than usual. Often under this influence you are able to solve difficult problems in your life because you can approach them from a fresh perspective. You may develop an interest in science or other technical disciplines.

Social reform is another area that you might be attracted to, feeling that the old solutions are not adequate. Also, sudden opportunities may arise, such as a sudden financial gain or a sudden job promotion that will allow you to do much more than you have done before. This influence may also tempt you to take chances with finances by speculating or gambling.

In a larger sense, it is difficult to say precisely what you can expect during this time because the nature of this influence is so unpredictable. But you can expect some occurrence that will materially alter your plans for the immediate future, and you can expect that it will be a favorable change. Your immediate future is likely to have many more possibilities than are apparent now.

Uranus sextile MC: Creative changes

End of May 2007 until end of January 2009: Under this influence you will make creative changes in your life direction. For example, you may change jobs if this will improve your chances of getting where you want to go. You will not change simply for the sake of change. You may get a sudden promotion, but only if you show that you can take a completely different approach to the demands of the new job.

It is possible that you will change your life direction altogether at this point toward something that gives you more freedom to reach your desired goals.

But the changes during this time are not limited to the professional sphere. At this time you will also make changes in your personal life so that your domestic situation, your family and other intimate relationships do not prevent you from accomplishing your life's task. In both professional and domestic spheres you will take risks and try things that you would never try at other times. You want to experience all that life has to offer and not be limited solely by the inadequacies of past experience.

In any kind of creative work this influence signifies that you will work with great innovativeness and originality. You may create an invention or make a new discovery, but remember that it is just as likely to be a discovery about yourself as about the world.

One of the greatest benefits of this influence is that you can be in control if you want to be. You can neglect this opportunity for creative change in your life, but if you do, life may seem so stultifying that you feel you have to change everything, violently and compulsively and without forethought. Changes made under those conditions are not likely to be as creative and positive as ones made now. Now you can exercise caution, restraint and care and still make many positive changes to release mounting tensions.

Saturn square Saturn: Soul-searching

28 July 2007 until 13 August 2007: This is a critical period in which several aspects of your life and experience will be tested, especially those that began to be important about seven years ago. Most often this influence is experienced as a sort of identity crisis in which you begin to question what you are doing. You may suffer a crisis of confidence at this time, fearing that you have made the wrong moves in life or committed yourself to some course of action that will not be good in the long run. During this period you will think about and question all the long-term trends in your life. You will not be thinking about trivial matters.

Sometimes a particular event triggers off this period of soul-searching. Others may create difficulties for you, especially in your business or professional area. Perhaps they detect the first signs of insecurity that will afflict you during this period. If they are people who naturally compete with you, they may try to take advantage of your apparent weakness. Employers and other superiors may also sense your feelings of insecurity and wonder whether you are the right person for the job you are doing.

You must recognize that some aspects of your life need to be questioned at this time. But don't stand in one spot quivering about your life. Examine it and make whatever changes are possible and seem appropriate. Any project you started seven years ago or any new aspect of yourself that first surfaced then that is truly worth continuing will still be worthwhile after this period. This is a time of testing, and anything that withstands the test will be better for it. Things that do not pass the test are well got rid of. Shortly you will enter a period of stability and fruitfulness that will justify the events that take place now. In fact, if you are truly conscious of your life and your objectives, you will not undergo a real crisis at all. You will only go through a period of examining what is working and what is not. Your difficulties with the outer world at this time are signals about what you should be doing.

NASCAR ~ Ryan Newman’s 6 month Astro Forecast ~ Matt Borland??

Hmmmmm. KARMA??
Matt, you should never have left Ryan in the lurch like that. What comes around goes around.
Maybe, just maybe....you will be forgiven and ??
Well....we will see. NASCAR.com had the photo headline "Ryan Newman will try and end a 54-race winless streak at Richmond."
Anybody else out there noticing that Ryan's' uh...performance has changed, just like his 6 month 'scope said it would? It's about time to do it again for the next six months.
Ryan's Uranus is trine his Moon*** from the middle of April until December of 2008. This is a major aspect which influences all the rest of the aspect's in his chart. Take a look see:

Theme: Graceful changes ***
Valid during many months: This influence represents an excellent opportunity for you to make changes in your emotional life and personal surroundings, such as your home. And you can make these changes without causing great problems and upsets, as might be the case at other times. For example, you could remodel your home or change your personal habits. Either of these changes would be appropriate to the energy of this influence.

Events may present you with opportunities to experience your emotions in a new way. You may begin a new relationship that will bring feelings you have never had before. A love relationship that begins under this influence will have a wonderful excitement that may be missing at other times. Existing relationships may also change so that they, too, allow you new emotional experiences.

A situation may occur that brings up an event from the past so that you can examine it in a new light and change your attitudes toward it. By understanding the past differently, you will be able to change its effect upon you. For example, this may be an encounter with your mother or other female relative that clarifies and allows you to change your attitude toward something that happened in your childhood.

You may have got into certain routines with friends and other people whom you see every day, with the result that you have not been experiencing them as they really are. Unconsciously adopted attitudes may have got in the way of seeing them clearly. This influence gives you the chance to recognize these attitudes and to change them. Consequently you may experience your friends as new individuals.

Take advantage of this opportunity to make graceful changes in your personal life. Now it will be easy to get rid of unconscious attitudes, habits and routines that will be much harder to get rid of later on.

The rest of Ryan's current forecast at this time, looks like this. I will add various aspect's as they change.

Neptune conjunction Ascendant: Excessive idealism

End of March 2006 until end of January 2008: This influence will alter your relationships with others and change the kind of impression you make on people. The greatest single danger is that you are susceptible to deception by others, because you are in an unusually idealistic frame of mind, and believe in the merit of proposals that you are invited to join, even when they are useless. In fact, with your excessive idealism, you are likely to get involved in many situations that you would usually avoid. Relationships, in particular, should be watched, for you are inclined to idealize people, especially a lover, and be blind to their real faults. These faults may not be all that bad, but in your present frame of mind you probably would not be able to accept the truth. And when you finally do accept it, you will be disappointed. Do not expect more of others now than you could reasonably expect at other times. People are people, although you may lose sight of that during this time.

There is also a danger that you might lose sight of who you are and what your limitations are. You may expect too much of yourself, or you may think that you impress others in certain ways that are not at all true. If you feel that others like you, it may be that you are utterly unaware of certain complaints they have about you. And they may not be bothered at all by habits you think they really dislike, which you try to repress.

In relationships with others you may be inclined to play a martyr role. Stand up to people for what you believe to be your personal rights and do not pretend that things don't bother you if they do. If you play the martyr, someone else will surely be willing to play the role of persecutor. This applies especially in love relationships.

You may also become more interested in psychic, spiritual and religious matters during this time, but since you are searching for direct experience of the divine, you are unwilling to put up with movements that are excessively formal, ritualized or intellectual. Consequently you will probably not be attracted to an orthodox church.

Saturn conjunction Descendant: Relationships on trial

Beginning of September 2006 until mid June 2007: This influence has two quite different meanings. First of all, it can indicate a period in which intimate one-to-one relationships become an area of great responsibility. Chief among these is your marriage or living with your partner, but it also refers to close partnerships of any sort. You must pay close attention to these relationships. Strains and tensions that have been developing in the recent past are likely to surface now and must be dealt with immediately! Sometimes the only way to handle these problems is to end the relationship, so this can be a time of great trial for a marriage. Even under the best of circumstances you will have to work harder on partnerships and try to solve as many problems as possible.

Related to this is another possible area of concern: namely, problems with people who oppose your interests in various matters. Such people can range from outright enemies to those who simply want to keep you in check for some reason. If this kind of problem arises, all you can do is try to understand the person's motivation and do what you can to eliminate their reasons for opposing you.

But aside from these two kinds of problems involving others, this influence means that at this time you are making a significant breakthrough in your life.

For several years now you have been working quietly to get ahead and make new beginnings, particularly in your professional life. Now the work you have been doing is beginning to bear fruit and you will be acknowledged. In fact, one of the reasons you are having conflict with enemies is that now you are really beginning to get somewhere in life, which is likely to be threatening to others.

At any rate, now you are ready for the upward climb to attain your goals in life. This is a very critical time, when you must work very carefully to get ahead. Do not take any shortcuts to success that violate what you believe to be right.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune: A sense of compassion

Beginning of February 2007 until mid October 2007: During this time your ideals will be aroused as they seldom are at other times, and you will approach life with a greater sense of compassion. People who cannot help themselves will win your sympathy especially, whether you encounter them personally or through working with others in a charitable enterprise. Your primary concern is to help individuals by giving them a hand. You may be less concerned with transforming the social order that has given rise to the conditions that oppress the people you are dealing with.

Your interest in spiritual, religious and mystical philosophy is likely to grow at this time, and you may become involved in a group that is studying these subjects. This world no longer seems to meet your needs adequately, so you have to turn inward to find a world that can give you what you really need. Here, too, you will discover that the ego’s drives for self-gratification and self-assertion may be the major factors in preventing you from getting what you want out of life. At this time the demands of the ego must be quieted at least a little, so you can hear what the inner self is really saying.

Unfortunately there is another side to this influence, which you should watch for. Some people develop a feeling of false happiness, like living in the dream world of an opium smoker, with no basis in reality. You may feel that everything is all right when it is not, or you may feel that you can do anything you want and get away with it. That is why this influence is often associated with gambling or taking risks with limited resources, often with disastrous results. This is not a very good time for investments, not because you will necessarily lose out, but because you just won’t know for sure, and you will be tempted to gamble even when it is a poor risk. For the same reason, in business deals be sure you are not the victim of a massive misrepresentation.

With this influence it is best to avoid purely selfish concerns, for when your actions are thus motivated you are most likely to encounter its negative side.

Jupiter conjunction Sun: Exuberant optimism

Mid February 2007 until end of October 2007: Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good. At the very least, you will feel good at this time. Your health is good, and you feel very optimistic. For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.

This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.

This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.

Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Saturn conjunction Saturn: Pruning your life

30 August 2007 until 15 September 2007: This is one of the most important times in your life. A major cycle of experience is closing, and great changes are about to take place. How great these changes are depends largely on what you have been doing with your life over the past several years. Have you been living as you feel you should or as you think others want you to? If you have been doing the latter, this influence will have a greater impact.

This influence occurs about every twenty-nine years. The first such influence occurs now that you are about twenty-nine.

Last year, many aspects of your life have begun to change. Relationships may have changed, and you may have changed your residence or your job; you have been dominated by an urgent feeling that if you don’t do everything you have always wanted to do, you will never have another chance. And now, at about twenty-nine, you will feel that a substantial portion of your life has passed and that you had better get on with making it all work. If your relationship is unsatisfactory but you have been making the best of it, you will examine that relationship even more thoroughly now and may decide to end it. Certainly you will have to change it substantially. The same is true of any other aspect of your life that you have tolerated but not found very rewarding.

Consciously or unconsciously, you are pruning your life of everything that is not relevant to what you really are as a human being. If this process is not happening consciously, you may experience a sense of loss for the elements of your life that are coming to an end now. However, do not dwell upon these losses, for they are necessary in order to clear the decks for the major period of action in your life.

This is a time of endings and new beginnings. If you have built your life up to now around activities that are inappropriate for you, it will be a period of crisis. If you have been doing what you should in previous years, this influence will simply mark a time of solidification and the beginning of new phases of
