NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for Loudon

Here are the pertinent driver’s ‘scopes for Loudon. Of course, once again, the moon is Void of Course. Strange. Today is also a Full Moon, and it’s effects will also be felt tomorrow.
No wonder things are nuts in NASCAR.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971(**Oh boy…here we go again.)
Sun Square Uranus activity period from 30 June 2007 to 3 July 2007

This can be a somewhat disruptive influence, during which you are subject to sudden upsets or to behavior that is upsetting to others. Under this influence it is quite likely that you will not follow your normal routine as on other days. There could be an automobile breaking down unexpectedly, a sudden argument or an unexpected separation from someone. The point is that you can expect the unexpected today. You are striving to break down your everyday routine, and it would be best to find ways of doing this intentionally, rather than waiting for it to happen. Let the restless spirit within you express itself. You need new air! You may very well discover a valuable aspect of yourself that you never knew existed, because you were afraid to let it come out.
(Well, becuase the moon is Void of Course this time, maybe exactly the opposite will happen**) Greg Biffle has the same aspect during the race.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Venus in the 7th House
activity period from 28 June 2007 until middle of November 2007

This is one of the best influences for all relationships: love affairs, relationships with partners, with coworkers, even with enemies. Ego forces are so in tune at this time that you can create the proper balance between yourself and everyone you meet. In your marriage or other love relationship, you will be able to express affection easily and make your feelings clear to your partner. In other partnerships, including professional ones, you are able to understand the needs of your partner so that you can arrive at maximum understanding and work together harmoniously. Be careful not to let your amiability prevent you from standing up for your own rights. You need not worry about alienating your partner, because you will be able to make it clear that you are working for your mutual benefit.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Venus Trine Chiron activity period from 30 June 2007 until end of September 2007.

Valid during several months: This influence can bring with it a deeply satisfying, liberating experience; perhaps you will simply enjoy yourself with more gusto and freedom than usual and take pleasure in life. There may be a very meaningful encounter during this time – with your partner, someone close to you, or someone whom you have never met before. This encounter will be so deep and personal that you will have the opportunity to perceive and possibly even discuss things about yourself that you have preferred to suppress up to now, and not reveal to anyone. Thus, you have the chance to behave differently and, for once, to act out of character and acknowledge your injury or sensitivity, without having to fear being hurt or rejected once more.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Pluto Trine Chiron activity period through Dec.2007

Valid during many months: This particularly favorable time will give you the chance to resolve any fears and uncertainties you suffer when dealing with others. If such feelings of inadequacy cause you to be overly defensive and suspicious,you will find it much easier to place your trust in the flow of life. You will become calmer or more relaxed if you can allow important and inevitable events to occur without always needing to be in control of the situation. You don’t need to have an excessive belief in fate, or to deny the existence of free will, to recognize that certain events and relationships have been necessary to help you to become the person you are today. Do not try to argue with fate, even if you feel responsible for a difficult private or professional situation. Try to let go of any self-doubts, and trust that your inner self only allows you to have experiences which are essential for your future development.
The theme of this influence is a process which will reconcile you with many things which have been the cause of pain and depression. Doors which have remained closed may suddenly open, revealing paths leading to new and healing experiences. Someone could now enter your life who reveals things which affect you deeply. Openness and trust can pave the way for experiences which could take your life in a new direction.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

You will feel energetic and vigorous during this time. Your physical health will be quite good, and you should seek activities that will give this energy an outlet. Sitting around will not have any particular bad effects, but you would be wasting a valuable opportunity. You will probably enjoy whatever work you do because it makes you feel so alive. If you have to be personally effective in an activity, such as business or negotiations with others, you will be able to achieve the desired results now. This influence gives you the necessary self- confidence to influence others and make a positive impression. It is also favorable for traveling and expressing yourself through new experiences and new encounters. You are intellectually restless, and you want to do something different.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

Valid during several weeks: This influence frequently coincides with a period of good feeling and an optimistic outlook on life. And if you exercise some care, it will be very helpful for all kinds of contractual negotiations, conferences, planning sessions and discussions. However, it is important to be careful. This influence gives a tendency to grand thinking, to seeing the whole more clearly than the parts. You could lose precision and clarity about details, so be very careful about fine points, and read every word of the small print in all your dealings. Make sure that you have covered all the various angles. You can be careful and very successful if you are thorough at the same time. Avoid the temptation of thinking that the small details are beneath the lofty concerns of the day.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

Today during the day 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. During this time you will tend to take things easy and could prodice a lazy streak. 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.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985

Kyle’s Mars entered his 10th house ( The House of Fame and Fortune) on June 28th and is active through the middle of Aug.
More than any other, this influence arouses your ambition to achieve. If you can identify with a project, you will work extremely hard at it until it is done. It is especially important now that you find an independent project that requires your individual initiative and effort. You should try to gain independent authority in your work at this time because you are not likely to be very tolerant of other people’s authority over yourself. You prefer to be your own boss. But your energy will make an impression upon people who are in a position to help you, as long as you do not challenge them unduly. Conflicts with coworkers may arise if they feel threatened by your efforts to get ahead. You should try to play down such conflicts unless something real is at stake.
His ‘scope for tomorrow:
Today during the day you may feel like being alone with your thoughts and feelings. Your mood is not usually bad or depressed, you simply desire to be calm and reflective. But you are probably not in the mood for frivolity. You prefer the company of serious people, if any, and you want the conversation to be about important topics. Under this influence you may feel the need to consult someone whose higher vantage point you respect. You are able to balance your emotional needs with your sense of duty and obligation. While you are aware of your feelings, you do not let them overwhelm you. In all proceedings you are thrifty and careful. You are also very careful and thorough in your approach to any kind of work now. It is not likely that you will have to do any task over, nor will anyone else have to clean up after you.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

During this time you may try to assert your individuality in a relationship. Sometimes this occurs when you feel that you are giving too much in a relationship and getting too little, and your partner is resentful. Any successful relationship, especially a sexual one, is a delicate balance between the needs and desires of each person as an individual ego and their desire to achieve meaning through a relationship. The equilibrium is very delicate and easily upset now. At this time the two of you have to define what you want from each other. It is sometimes necessary to be quite explicit about what you want, because whatever is left unsaid may very well be the main source of conflict between you. ( Might this be reflecting the crew chief issue? Remember, references to sexual issues also reflect aggression and competition.)

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Mercury in the 11th House Valid during several months:
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. In the latter case, decide whether these goals are appropriate for you. 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.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976

Today during the day you are in touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them to others. You probably lack the psychological tension that usually drives people to talk about their feelings, but you can listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems now. The insight into your own feelings and the psychological equilibrium that you have now may enable you to offer effective help to others. This influence also signifies a state of balance between your feelings and your rational intellect. That is, you are able to think with great emotional sensitivity but still remain logical in your thought processes. Communications with women will be easy and quite favorable at this time, regardless of your own sex. And encounters with women may be quite informative in a positive way.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

Mercury Trine Uranus Valid during several weeks:
This is a very stimulating influence that will make you feel more alive and awake mentally than at any other time. Although your thinking may be somewhat lacking in care and discipline, you will make up for this in the scope of your intuition. This is an excellent day to tackle some problem that you have been unable to solve with tried and true solutions. New ideas will come more rapidly than usual. Solutions that have eluded you will be obvious, and your vision will have considerable breadth and scope. Any new phenomenon will interest you, and the idea of traveling to foreign places will be especially appealing. If at all possible, break with your usual routine and go off somewhere, at least for the day. If you do, you will be glad for the freshness that such a break introduces into your life.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Venus Square Med.Coeli

For most people this is a good influence, a time when you will feel like being with another person and expressing your love. However, for some persons at some times, this influence can have a negative effect, almost the reverse of the above. It can make you overly self-involved, so wrapped up in yourself that you do not relate very successfully to others. Or you may demand more love than you are willing to give. But for this to occur there must be a predisposition to it in your nature.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
Today you may have to encounter and even oppose powerful pressures and forces exerted upon you, both from without and from within. The way you live and exert your energies will be tested today, perhaps forcing you to make radical changes in the areas of your life that you find are not working very well. The best way to use this influence is to let go of old patterns of behavior that today’s events demonstrate to be invalid. Holding on to them will only make your life more difficult, and if you give them up, you will have room for the positive creative changes that can take place now. Also you may have to contend with the breakdown of machines or situations. Anything that tends not to function very smoothly will work very poorly today. It is time to straighten out the situation or fix up the mechanical problem.
This is a time when you emotionally identify with your possessions or whatever you value. This can lead to a very strong attachment to material objects and a general attitude of possessiveness about them, which can be a problem if someone needs to borrow something of yours, for instance. Or you may unconsciously identify with your own value system to such an extent that you feel every challenge to it as a direct challenge to yourself. You may have to defend yourself in areas where you really have nothing at stake. Traditionally this influence is considered to be a bad time to spend money, because your attitudes toward possessions are so conditioned by unconscious drives that you are not likely to make an intelligent decision about buying something based upon your real needs.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
Today you feel full of energy, decisive, maybe even belligerent and possibly also ruthless. The physical drive also makes itself clearly felt. At the same time 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 co- worker. 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.

This could very well be a nasty little race.
We will see…
Tally Ho!! Onward LugNutZ!

NASCAR’s Martin Truex Jr. ~ Happy Birthday! 6 mo. Astro-Forecast

Happy Birthday to Martin Truex Jr!Here is Martin's scope that sets the tone for the next year, his personality portrait, and his 6 month Forecast:

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980

Today is your astrological birthday, even though it may be different from your calendar birthday.
As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences that 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.

Martin's personality potrait, based on his Natal chart:
The report was generated with the following birth data: male, born on 29 June 1980 in Mayetta, New Jersey.

Your sun sign is Cancer. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Virgo, and your Moon is in Capricorn.

Sun in Cancer, Moon in Capricorn

You were born with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. When you were born, you were basically under the influence of the Sun in Cancer. This gave you a potential to lead a natural life, to enjoy pleasure, and to live as simply as possible. The sign of Cancer also gave you a strong attachment to homelike habits, family, and other domestic elements. Outwardly you tend to restrain your material ambitions - accumulation of things or of power. Capricorn also gives a sense of time; you go into seclusion to plan your long-term projects at any level. Your personality is somewhat cold and antagonistic to people and to certain ideas. You are difficult to win over and be friendly with. The Moon in Capricorn takes away much of the gratification you should find in pleasurable actions.

If you can somehow exert control over your personality, so that your inner core can be reflected on the outside, you will definitely have a smoother and more pleasant life.

Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Tenth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the tenth house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.

Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to persevere and exert ingenuity.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don't try to be forceful about it because Virgo's natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though you don't mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of the affection you are receiving.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.

You are very preoccupied with the attainment of success. Success or failure should occur relative to your own willpower.

You possess the ability to undertake successfully any business related to commissions or dealership: your professional life will be a varied one, and in many instances you will undertake several professions simultaneously.

In business dealings, there is a tendency not to be too factual. Your speech is fluent and your memory is retentive. Apply these to your practical life and you will achieve success.

Mars Conjunct Ascendant

Mars conjunct the Ascendant gives you an inexhaustible supply of energy. You are constantly in motion, but sometimes it is motion without meaning. Lacking self-discipline, you take daring and unnecessary risks when challenged. You want most of all for people to recognize your superiority.

The image you present hides a persistent inferiority complex. You probably win your arguments by making the most noise and wearing out your opponents with unceasing harassment. But you do not need to waste energy this way, because you have enormous creative ability that merely needs to be harnessed to an objective. When you do this, no one can succeed as easily as you can, and with energy to spare.

On the positive side, you are independent and self-confident. You know how to mobilize people and their resources to achieve your objectives.

Venus in the Ninth House

Venus was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. Your mind appears as very adaptable, gentle, peace-loving and tactful. This position indicates that the secret for your ability to reach a state of harmony and emotional balance may come through the use of your higher mental powers. You have been born with an exquisitely refined, artistic mind which has a very subtle appreciation of all that has to do with culture. Your disposition is kind, congenial, gentle and sympathetic and you have a natural ability to assist other individuals.

This position gives you much social intercourse with intellectual persons and success derived therefrom.

Merely minor disabilities will affect you in your intellectual endeavors. The worst that could happen would be an overly inquisitive, indecisive nature that never seems to be satisfied. However, you have within you the ability to avoid these psychological obstacles.

Sun in the Tenth House

The Sun was in the tenth house at the time of birth. The Sun here promises honor, success, and prestige in adult life. Publicly you appear as a vital, proud, powerful person. Your individuality has the need to manifest itself publicly and often to foist its energy on others. You have come to life with a satisfactory physical and moral heredity and you are going to acquire the favorable disposition of many persons of power to assist you in your ascent through life.

Your liabilities include an exaggerated pride, arrogance and a tendency to rely too much on your own resources.

Saturn in the Twelfth House

Saturn was in the twelfth house at the time of birth. This planet may place many unpleasant and annoying obstacles in your life, and intensify the feelings you have about the limitations of your environment.

Your professional honor affects your feelings very much and you are well satisfied when things go well. Destiny may have to teach you to tell the difference between fact and fantasy more clearly.

Certain complexes nest in your subconscious and show up in your mind as hypersensitivity, wanting to be alone and to do things by yourself so no one will know how you feel. You need a bit of humor and self-confidence.

Saturn Conjunct Ascendant

Saturn conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you are conservative and self-disciplined. You tend to be shy about asserting yourself, so people may assume you are indifferent to them.

Your lack of self-confidence will eventually be replaced by self-assurance as you learn through experience to understand yourself. You do not have the kind of aggressive drive that impresses people on first meeting, but you show reliability, and they learn to depend on you.

You are efficient in mobilizing your resources and are sure to realize your goals, but you underestimate your abilities.

Responsible to a fault, you will never let anyone down who depends on you. Learn to love yourself more, so you can feel you deserve the good things in life that you work for so diligently. You can be victimized by people who take advantage of your unwillingness to fight for your rights, but you never forget such incidents.

6 month Forecast:

Jupiter opposition Venus: Lavish tastes
Mid February 2007 until end of October 2007:

This is usually a very pleasant influence, indicating harmony in relationships and perhaps even a new relationship that will be of great significance in your life. You want love very much, and you are able to give it to those around you.

This influence encourages a taste for the lavish and beautiful, and you are not likely to let much stand in the way of what you want. Therefore you must be careful not to waste valuable resources and squander money. If you are cautious, it is possible to make excellent investments at this time, but only if you examine all of the possibilities very carefully. This influence has the negative attribute of carelessness, so you must concentrate on being careful.

On the physical level, this influence signifies the danger of gaining weight, because it stimulates your desire for rich, sweet and otherwise fattening foods. It may be necessary to avoid such food for awhile.

Neptune sextile Neptune: Positive reforms
Mid February 2007 until beginning of December 2008:

This is a time of new awakening to a sense of what your life is about. Before this time you have been working to establish your sense of who you are in the community of adults, and by now you probably have a pretty clear idea about that. But you may also have discovered that what you are doing with your life is not entirely appropriate. You may conclude that in the past you were motivated by too narrow a conception of what you are, by a need for security, or simply by petty ego-drives. Now you will begin to see your life in terms of a larger perspective. You should do whatever is necessary to make sure that you can live according to this new understanding.

This influence does not arouse your sense of idealism particularly, but it does make you see that the universe is a very large place, and you are a much larger part of it than you have realized.

You may be attracted to rather mystical ideas, but they will have meaning only according to how they affect your everyday world. At this time you don't need more abstractions to chase around - you need to make positive reforms in your life. And you will do so!

This influence will cause you to cut away your past and reorient your life in accordance with the larger vision you have now. The many changes that occur may seem somewhat scary, but they are ultimately for the best. You will find new freedom in a new consciousness.

Saturn conjunction Jupiter: Weather forecast
Mid October 2007 until end of July 2008:

This influence can represent different things to different people. It can be an opportunity for very careful sustained growth through patient endeavor. Or it can be a period of extreme restlessness and impatience.

During this time you may expect any of the following: a change of job or residence; a change in financial status, often for the worse; withdrawal from others in order to work; fondness for solitude; industry and perseverance.
Two attributes probably determine which kind of effect you will experience. First of all, if you are disciplined and persevering you will react with patience to the energies of this influence.

But even more important is your attitude toward the areas of your life that this influence may affect. You will persevere with the areas of your life that you are contented with, and you will work even harder on them than otherwise. In those areas of your life that seem oppressive you will experience tension and the desire to rebel against limitations.
It is difficult to say whether you are justified in being impatient with the areas of restriction in your life. Certainly you are more than justified in trying to improve your life. You will have to decide whether to cut off some element or build it up to a higher level. Either response may be appropriate.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune: A sense of compassion
2 November 2007 until 12 November 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 IC: Your inward needs
19 November 2007 until 28 November 2007:

This is a time for expansion and growth in your innermost personal life, a time when you will seek security at home and with your immediate family. It may be necessary to reexamine your past life to find out what it can teach you about yourself. But this should not be a source of anxiety. In fact, you should feel quite good about what you learn at this time. Your parents may be able to assist you considerably in this process.

The symbolism of this influence is that you incorporate more and more of the outer world into your innermost life. Certainly it would be a good expression of this symbolism to improve your existing home and make it more comfortable.

At this time you should do everything to ensure that your personal life is as comfortable and secure as possible. You need to have a feeling of inner peace and security in order to continue to move out in the world. In fact you should not think so much about outward success now as about the more personal and inward needs that we have discussed here.

This is the time to tie up any loose ends in your personal life, straighten out any relationships that are not working well, any leftovers from your past life that are still affecting the present adversely. To do this you may have to speak to others very openly about yourself and your innermost thoughts.
So this is a good time to settle and put down roots. The feeling of belonging to a place and a group of people is very important to you now. You don't have to do this in a way that limits your freedom of movement, and during this time it is very unlikely that you will do so. But everyone needs a solid home base so that they can feel at peace in their other activities. If you don't make an effort to construct such a base now, you will have difficulty later when your principal concerns are turning elsewhere.

Jupiter square Ascendant: On the lookout
23 November 2007 until 2 December 2007:

This is usually an excellent time for most kinds of relationships, but there are some pitfalls. Basically this influence signifies a desire to grow and advance through contacts with others. Probably you are willing to give as much as you get, although in some people this influence triggers a desire for advantages through others without giving anything in return. In fact as they get ahead, such people act arrogantly toward everyone, even those who helped them. This causes others to reject them, and when they hit hard times there is no one to help them out.

But this result is totally unnecessary, and all you have to do to avoid it is to keep a sense of humility and recognize what others have done for you. With this influence you have the potential to become a truly better person, but only if you keep these warnings in mind.
Quite frequently this influence brings a seemingly "lucky" chance through a friend or associate. But it is not luck so much as the fact that you are very sharply on the lookout for opportunities that can benefit you. Your sense of timing is very acute, and your sensitivity to others and their needs is greater than usual. That is one reason why it is so bad to ignore others' needs, because you don't even have the excuse of ignorance.

Benefits can come to you in either your personal and domestic life or in your work. There may be an opportunity to make money or to make improvements in your home that will make it much more pleasant. Or you may meet people who will help you learn more about the world and expand your view of it in various ways. You have to be willing to let this happen, however, which means you must be receptive. This is another area in which being arrogant brings the risk that you will get nothing of lasting value out of this period.

NASCAR Odds for Fantasy, Wagering and Betting

I have been amazed at the number of people who take sports betting and NASCAR odds very seriously. I have a fantasy team or two myself, some of which are doing very well, and some of which are not, depending on what system I am using. When I am in Nevada, I bet like crazy. I tend to be a very lucky gambler, no matter what I wager on. (O.K. I missed last years Cup winner by a couple points, I humbly admit, and still owe Bab’s a car.)
The system that I use Astrologically seems to be working the best for me, as long as I remember to set my teams:)

I would like to call your attention to BetUS.com. They have a great site for taking your online NASCAR sports betting to a new level.

NASCAR Hammered

“If I were a NA$CAR Hammer”

If I were a hammer,
I’d hammer Teresa Earnhardt,
I’d hammer Chad Knaus and
Steve Letarte too.

I’d hammer Dale Jr.
I’d hammer Tony Stewart,
I’d hammer Kurt Busch and Zippi,
Kyle Busch and Tony Eury…
Whoa-Oh…
All over NA$CAR Land.

But I will change my rule books!
I’ll change them as I want to!
I’ll change them in inspection, in practice,
In the middle of the races!
Whoa -oh!
Just because I can.

So watch out all you race teams!
I’m coming with my hammer!
I’m coming for to get you!
More money for The Man.

I am coming in the morning
I’m coming in the evening
I’m coming in the trailer, the track,
the office and the Infield.
Whoa-oh…
To get all the bucks I can.

Jeesh! Spank them…Don’t kill them.
Three strikes you’re out? Since when did NASCAR or NASCAR fan’s become the judge and jury of the penal system, and our teams become criminals? The fines handed down to Knaus and Letarte were way too stiff. What Kurt Busch did was way worse in my eyes and he didn’t even have to sit out a race.
I am disgusted.

Luke at Thunder Lounge wrote a brilliant and much more intelligent post on this subject than I. You can read it here.
Full Throttle’s Marc adds his bit of wisdom here. He backs himself up with the invisible rulebook too.
Charlie Turner, of On Pit Row fame, had a word or two to say about “rules and squirrels” on his blog Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie. “Ditto” says Clance’.
Hope Hammond butchered that hog. There are a lot of starving children in the world.

My GF Tex, one of the best blogger’s out there, disagrees with us. Her post is insightful and intelligent as always. We will just have to agree to disagree.

The day the Three Strikes You’re Out Rule (unless illegal drugs are involved), is, if ever, implemeted for “Creative Engineering”, is the day I may consider my Sacred Sport desicrated, put on Marc’s foil hat, and deem the sport no longer worthy of my worship.




NASCAR Journalism??

Dear Marc, my favorite person in The Phillipines:

She can’t come into the present. She gets paid to write, unlike those of us who just do our own kind of blabbing.
I agree with you on this post…
So much that I am glorifying your infamous way of words for my post.

Personally I think Knaus and Letarte should recieve some big buck bonus everytime they come up with a new creative engineering concept and get caught. Double the $$ if they don’t.

Juan Pablo Montoya take Sonoma ~ John Paul, The Pope of Motorsports wins again!

Need I say anything else…
And She bows…
I kneel in humility to the Pope of Motorsports..,.
and…
In the name of the Gilstrap Brothers… and Robby Gordon…Amen.

OOOH…Laaaaalaaaaa: I know that might be French but I must ask my husband who is fluent in Spanish and very Latino jealous of my obsession with JPM says”:
You are wrong.
It should be said:

Ella arquea… el gran Juan Pablo que Montoya ha probado que él es el papa de Motorsports. Él gana. Otra vez.
Oh! Yes! I agree.
He proved that, yes..JPM is a Champion. He is.I may have also sucked down a glass or two too much Merlot. Yup. I deserved it. My Tony did fairly well too, didn’t he?
The most impressive performance above all? Jeff Gordon. Wow. Congrats to all.
Dale Jarrett even finished the race running. WOW!! YAY!!
There is nothing I love more than a road race, tho I was sick for Robby. What a performance. Yes… He will and always will be my driver, when it comes to a road race. Great job Robby. You proved that you also have what it takes to prove your worth ( as if it is needed) in a major NA$CAR race.
Way to go.

Nascar in Sonoma~ Congrats to Juan Paul Montoya

Ella arquea en humildad… Triunfos de John Paul Montoya en tolerancia y humildad. John Paul Montoya, el papa de Motorsports prueba que él es cuáles él es. Un campeón.
WOW.

NASCAR in Sonoma ~ Astro Predictions ~ Turn Left and right and “Sideways?

Here are the pertinent aspects for today’s race at Sonoma. The moon, once again is void of course. The moon also enters Scorpio and Mars enters Taurus, so this could be a very exciting race, with lots of aggression and hot heads. Or not. Remember when the Moon is void of course, anything goes.

Sorry the ‘scopes are late but my pal Gloria and I went for a ride to Lagrande OR. to pick up a bed from her grandson and ended up on a little adventure,that lasted 2 days. Sideways.(*hint) Let me put it this way, The Gilstrap Brother’s. Ted and Warren, make the best Merlot at Gilstrap Brothers Vineyard and Winery on the face of the Earth…How the small winery came to be is carrying out The Bros. Gilsrtap’s Daddy’s dream.We discovered it in perfect timing for the Sonoma race, in which we shall be drinking our wine in style and with grace and grandness. The wine they produce makes Jeff Gordon’s wine taste like vinegar:) More on the wineries later, let’s get these scopes up before the race starts.

** Note: John Paul the Pope of Motorsports ‘scope is the same as Jimmie Johnson’s. Scary. So is Jamie McMurray’s.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Theme:Seething inside **

During this time it is necessary to proceed slowly and cautiously. The more thoroughly and carefully you perform any task, the more chance there is that it will succeed. This can be a very frustrating and irritating time, when all your efforts to assert yourself are blocked, more by a sense of internal inadequacy than by circumstances or other people. However, you are not likely to take negative reinforcement lying down. The part of you that is struggling to break free from inhibitions will feel very angry at being held back. Consequently you are likely to be irritable and easily angered, although your inner doubts make you reluctant to show your anger openly. But no matter how you try to cover it up, everyone will be quite aware that you are seething inside.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Today you desire experience and activity. It will not be enough to stay in exactly the same place you have been.This desire makes you go after what you want, with complete optimism that you will get it. On the intellectual level, this influence can signify study or other mind- expanding inquiry. You have a strong desire to understand and know, even about ideas that you normally consider to be beyond your understanding. It is very important today that you act with a firm sense of discipline and not simply indulge every compulsive whim that comes along. Take on the projects that you can handle plus a little extra, but not very much extra. Handle your resources intelligently and be careful not to invest unwisely.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
You feel good today and affectionate toward just about everyone around you. You should spend time with friends and even try to make new ones, if the opportunity arises. Think about your relationships and appreciate exactly how much love you give to and receive from others. If there are tensions in any of your relationships, this is a good time to work at smoothing them over. Probably you will be quite popular today, and you should use the positive energies you are putting out to make a good impression on the people you want to impress. However, don’t be phony about it, because you will not be very effective in the long run. The point is that the good impression you make will be because of the person you actually are, not the person you think others want you to be.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

This will be a very favorable day for all kinds of communications and personal interchange with others. Even routine connections with friends and neighbors will be very fruitful, for you will be able to get through to each other with greater clarity. This is an excellent day for communicating something important to another person, in which it is necessary to be precisely clear. If you have to present the views of a group and your ideas must be in tune with theirs, this will be a favorable time. But this is also a good day to examine your own goals and expectations.Today is fine for traveling for any purpose, although you will be best served if it stimulates your mind or has an educational purpose.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Theme:Harmonious cooperation

Valid during several months: This is one of the best influences for all relationships: love affairs, relationships with partners, with coworkers, even with enemies. Ego forces are so in tune at this time that you can create the proper balance between yourself and everyone you meet. In your marriage or other love relationship, you will be able to express affection easily and make your feelings clear to your partner. In other partnerships, including professional ones,you are able to understand the needs of your partner,so that you can arrive at maximum understanding and work together harmoniously. Be careful not to let your amiability prevent you from standing up for your own rights. You need not worry about alienating your partner, because you will be able to make it clear that you are working for your mutual benefit.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

Today you seek excitement and stimulation through your love relationships, even to the point of provoking a fight. The existing patterns of your relationships will become difficult to deal with even if you know that they are basically constructive. Be careful of being impatient with loved ones, demanding that they gratify your need for excitement, unless of course you want to have an argument. In fact, this influence can be a test of the flexibility of your relationship. The less flexible it is, the more disruptive this time will be.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Theme: Emotional confrontations

During this time you turn your attention to your most personal relationships, in which you express yourself in a much more emotional manner than usual. This influence will affect a marriage, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. Loved ones and partners are much more important to you than usual, for they provide you with a feeling of security and support. And to be fair, you have the same interest in proving these elements for your loved ones. But if your are in a negative state now, this influence will tend to make you excessively jealous and possessive, or you may act unconsciously or automatically with your loved ones. Confrontations with women, both positive and negative, are likely to be more intense that those with men.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Theme: Easily irritated

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.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

This morning you experience rapidly changing moods, which may interfere with clear perception of your goals, especially if your goals have been set without much regard for your personal needs. If your goals are purely professional or make excessive demands on your personal and domestic life, this time will be somewhat disruptive. You may feel dissatisfied with your progress, or you may feel that no matter how much you accomplish, there is always something lacking. This influence sometimes signifies changes in your domestic life.If you have handled this matter well, you should encounter the more positive side of this influence and be able to go about your business with a remarkable sense of wholeness. You will feel that your activities are satisfying, both professionally and personally.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Theme: Personal advancement

Valid during several months: This is an excellent influence for all kinds of group activity and for being with friends. You feel unusually sociable, and people will enjoy your company. Friends may be of considerable benefit to you today. You should certainly seek out other people, and if you need a favor from someone, this would be a good time to ask. This influence is extremely good for any interview in which you must make a good impression. By chance, you may make a new friend in the course of your everyday activities.The familiar setting in which you meet will set the tone of the entire relationship, a tone of easy familiarity and friendliness. This influence is also likely to provide opportunities for personal advancement as a result of the favorable impression that you have made.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972Under this influence you will seek an exciting break from your daily routine.You may “feel” asense of a freshy new breeze” in your career, as well as feelings of revolt and noticible upsurge. The aspects that are affecting this new attitude are in effect from June 23 through mid Sept.

Boris Said, born 18 September 1962
You will find it relatively easy to act freely today. You are not very tolerant of restrictions under this influence, and you will look for ways to get away from them. As a result, you are not very self-disciplined, but this is not a serious loss, because whatever you do now is more important than “keeping your nose to the grindstone.” You feel that keeping your individuality is more important than living up to other people’s expectations, and you let others know this. This is ultimately to your advantage, since you must be yourself in whatever you do. Reform the elements in your life that need to be reformed. This is an aspect of creative change.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
Venus Sextile Jupiter Theme: Fair Exchange
Valid during several months: June 23- Mid Sept. 2007

You feel contented and benevolent under this influence. You are at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone whom you meet. Friends, in particular, may be the beneficiaries of your generosity, as you may benefit from theirs. In either case you both will benefit, because everything done under this influence becomes a fair exchange in the long run. This time is favorable for all financial enterprises, especially those involving foreign investments, medicine or the law. Any legal matters decided during this time will also work out to your benefit. A new friendship or love relationship that begins now will be beneficial. Such a relationship will bring out your best qualities and can truly be described as a growth relationship. You are attracted to high-minded and upright people.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Today during the day you have the capacity to work either with others or alone. If you work with others you will have to have a lot of independence or some kind of leadership role in order to feel that you have been given an adequate chance. Probably you will get that chance. You have a much greater desire than usual to take the initiative and much stronger feelings of courage and self-reliance. If you have to defend your point of view when challenged, you will not back down but will argue your case with vigor and passion. Others will respect you for this even when they do not agree. You do not feel any need to make unwarranted attacks in order to maintain yourself.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
During this time you will find it necessary to subordinate your desire for amusement to the needs of the present. In your relationships it may be necessary to confront difficulties that you have not handled earlier. Sometimes problems in relationships arise when tacit agreements are not clear to both partners. This is a good time to discuss those agreements openly. This influence is good for all matters relating to your work or profession. During this time you should enjoy good relationships with both superiors and employees. You are willing to work with others to resolve any difficulties that may arise. You may gain financial or other favors, quite unexpectedly, from your employer.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Today you will focus your attention on getting ahead in some way. You feel strong, vigorous and confident. Your relationship with your superiors is good, and they may grant you some favor that will assist you in your efforts. Nevertheless you do not feel dependent upon anyone now, nor do you feel that you need recognition from others. Instead you draw satisfaction from knowing inside yourself what you can do. You have a good understanding of yourself, and the calmness that usually goes along with this influence enables you to plan with a cool head. Your personal and family life are also benefited by this influence, because your personal strength is coupled with a sense of responsibility and the knowledge that you don’t have to take away anything from your loved ones in order to get ahead.

So that’s it. Good luck to all.
Tally Ho!! Cheers!!

Numbers indicate orb (deviation from the exact aspect angle).

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

Leo Rising
You like to be the center of attention, to appear strong, confident and dominant, even if something is bothering you.

You like to be the leader, and you can be a good one as long as you remember that leadership is a responsibility as well as power and privilege.

You can be stubborn, especially if your pride is involved. You are idealistic, and people have to prove to you that they have integrity.

You like to have rich and elegant things that you can show off to others. But remember that just because something impresses people, it is not necessarily good. You need to learn the difference.

Others may or may not see you as beautiful or handsome, but as you grow up you will develop a regal bearing that will make others feel that you are dependable. Many people will like you, and most will also respect you.

Sun in Gemini

Your mind is very quick and agile, and you are curious to know the answer to every question as quickly as possible.

You like to travel and see new sights. You quickly get tired of whatever you are used to and want to trade it for something different.

You enjoy games, especially ones that require you to match wits with someone else.

Your moods change very quickly, and you don’t spend a great deal of time being unhappy or sad. All it takes to make you feel better is to have something new and interesting to do.

You may become very fond of books and reading, or you may prefer to learn by talking with others.

Sun in the Eleventh House

You are very social and enjoy being with friends rather than by yourself. You try to find out and emphasize what you and someone else have in common, instead of getting caught up in differences. You are a team player who knows how to make the best possible contribution to the workings of the group. You are quite capable of being a leader, because you understand what is best for all of you, not just yourself, and you are able to get others to work with you for group goals.

You are also an idealist with high hopes for your life.

Your most positive trait is your concern for those who are close to you, as well as for people in general.

Moon in Virgo

You are a rather serious but usually cheerful person. When you realize that you have to do something, you are willing to go out and do it. You like to make things, which you may become quite good at, because you are a careful worker.

You are neat and like order around you at all times. It bothers you to have anything out of place. You are concerned with your health, and you follow the best health habits you know.

When you are with others, you keep to yourself, for you are somewhat shy. You should learn to recognize your own merits and not be so self-critical.

You like to be useful and to help other people, because it makes you feel more worthwhile. But make sure that you really want to do those favors, because if you do them unwillingly, people won’t get much out of them.

Moon in the Second House

You have a strong need for emotional security, which is reflected by the desire to own things. But you should be careful not to attach too much importance to what you own, because you may become selfish and possessive, especially if you feel insecure and afraid.

If you feel very positive and secure, you may be generous and giving, but when you feel rash and impulsive, you tend to waste money or whatever else you have.

In relationships you form strong attachments to other people, which may make you feel possessive of them. If you are willing to run the risk of losing your friends, you will actually find it easier to keep them.

Venus in Leo
You like people, and people like you as well. You are very loyal to your friends. You have a strong sense of fairness and justice, which you insist on in all your relationships. For your love is very strongly mixed with pride.

Another side of this aspect is that you may pick friends who make you look good in some way. But be careful not to overlook those who are equally worthy but not so well known.

In relationships, you will have to learn to compromise with other people’s desires. You cannot have your own way all the time, and as you get older, you will understand the positive aspect of the give and take. Your basic warmth and friendliness will always make you well liked.

Venus in the First House
This is a very favorable position because it enables you to make a good impression on others and to be liked. You concentrate a great deal on your appearance, because you hate to look sloppy. You may develop some artistic talent, which will be furthered by your sense of form and design.

You work very hard to get along with others, and you usually try to win arguments with diplomacy and tact rather than force. You must learn to be self-assertive when necessary and to stand up for your rights, forcefully if need be. You can give the world much beauty, and you will present it most effectively if you learn to combine charm with strength.

Note: Venus is technically near the end of house 12 and is therefore interpreted in house 1.

Venus Conjunct Ascendant
You are probably a very appealing person, and you will always have the ability to charm people, which can be very useful, but you will have to learn how to use it well.

First of all, you should not turn on the charm when you don’t feel positive about someone. People will quickly recognize when you are sincere and when you are only trying to use them.

You may also tend to use your charm to get ahead, when you should depend on real ability. Develop your talents instead of smiling your way through life.

You want harmony around you at all times, which is very useful and positive, but you will have to learn not to compromise on issues that are very important to you.

When you are an adult you will be very good at working with people and making them feel good.

Mars in Aries

You are a very independent and self-assertive person.

You prefer to act on your own and set your own pace without waiting for people who work more slowly. Also you like to be the first to take up a new activity.

You have no desire to impose your will on your friends, as long as they don’t try to force their ways on you. However, you enjoy competition when someone offers a challenge. You get angry quite quickly, but you also cool off quickly and don’t hold a grudge.

Obviously your greatest problem is learning to cooperate with others. You must learn to give in now and then.

You are also inclined to be rash and impulsive and to act without thinking. If you take time to be careful, you will have little difficulty.

Mars in the Ninth House

You are strongly attached to your own point of view, and if challenged, you will fight very hard for your opinions. You are much more likely to fight for an ideal than for yourself. On one hand, you can be quite self-righteous and narrowly fanatical about your beliefs, but you can also be courageous in defending the rights of those who are downtrodden.

You don’t get involved just at the mental level; you act on your beliefs. Try not to get so wrapped up in your own views that you won’t even consider someone else’s.

As you get older, you may want to travel around and see quite a bit of the world, which would be a good experience for you.

Congratulations to Jeff and Ingrid. The two of you and God created a marvelous, miraculous little being, who will keep your hands full as she grows. She’s a star baby with some very strong aspects.
Cherish her, love her (like that’s not possible) and good luck! Jeff should be revved for Sonoma.
** I knew she would be born before the race….so was she induced or not? LOL. That surely is what I would have done, I must admit.

My prayer and affirmation for Jeff and Ingrid:
Caring for my family and community, I give and receive abundant blessings.
As a creation of God, I care about all God’s creation. This beautiful planet filled with creatures and landscapes, people and resources requires the attentive, loving care of its inhabitants. And my understanding of my own role as a caregiver is growing daily.
Looking at my corner of the world, I see plenty of opportunities to be a good steward. Within my own home, along streets and sidewalks, within my family and community, there are things that I can do to make life better for everyone.
I think of the moments I spend taking care of someone close to me or taking care of my community as times when I am giving from the love of God within my heart. In caring for God’s creation, I am giving and also receiving abundant blessings.

Blessed Be!!
Tally Ho! A new Adventure! Cheers!

NASCAR ~Astro Predictions for Michigan 2007

Here are the Astro-Predictions for the driver’s with the most significant aspects, for this weeks race in Michigan. Note that once again, as has happened in several races so far this year, the Moon once again goes void of course (in Cancer) at 3:39 AM. This has happened quite a few more times on race days this year than last. The other significant aspect is this race is just past New Moon and this particular moon greatly influences communication. Please also note the aspects that are stongly significant of physical passion, such as in Ryan Newman’s horoscope, means strong drive and aggression. Ryan could very well win tomorrow. Jamie McMurray has the same aspect in his ‘scope.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977**Physical passion **
This influence arouses a strong attraction to and desire to be with someone. You will be much more aggressive than usual in going out and finding a partner. This influence is often a sign of physical passion. Under this influence a sexual relationship is very satisfying to both partners. Even without sex, you will be very happy with other people. You will feel more vivacious and attractivbe than usual and may well be the life of the party.You will work hard to gain the approval of others during this time, so strong is your need for affection. Artistic activity is also indicated, for the general significance of this influence is self- expression through creativity and love. Your moon entering Leo also gives you a strong tendency towads marked and focused determination.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971**Sun in the 11th House ~ activity period from June 15- mid July, 2007
Valid during several weeks: At this time it is usually best to work and cooperate with other people. At other times you have found it necessary to be alone in order to find out who you are and the chief purposes of your life. Now you must ask these same questions in conjunction with others. Engaging in group efforts and projects in your personal and professional life will be the most effective way to accomplish this aim. Socialize extensively and study the people you associate with, for they are a reflection of yourself. What is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part. Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Without becoming domineering, you should let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can fit into the group dynamic without violating your integrity.

Kasey Kahne finally has a great ‘scope!!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. In fact it would be very bad not to be physically active, because these energies must have an outlet. If they do not, they can cause problems even when they are basically positive. Nevertheless you are in a self-assertive mood today. If you have to fight with someone to maintain your position in any matter, you will be able to do it effectively. You are not inclined to back down, although you will seek out a common ground where the two of you can agree, if there is any.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
To your advantage
This influence just makes you feel contented and at ease. Today all your dealings with family, loved ones, friends or business contacts will go very well, because you project warmth and concern for others. New connections made today may be beneficial in the future. This influence would be a good sign of success for a new romantic interest in your life. This is a good day for a short recreational trip to indulge your desire for beautiful surroundings. Financial transactions are favored during this time, and you should be able to negotiate in business to your advantage. Anything that you buy today should prove to be a worthwhile investment. In general under this influence you will feel that life is going more easily than usual, that with little effort everything is going as it should.
Today you are likely to be in a dreamy and romantic mood, and you will seek a quiet place to spend time with someone you love. This is not a wildly erotic influence, and although good for sex, it is mainly a time for two people to quietly express their affection. You want to be with someone whom you have a lot in common with or someone who has shared your experiences. With friends, you will want to talk about old times and things that happened in the past. More than anything else, you base your relationships today upon experiences that you and others share. This is a good day to spend pleasantly at home. Domestic surroundings appeal to you and it is easy for you to express your affection. You will have strong feelings of love for your family and relatives under this influence.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Sun in the 3rd House
The Sun in this house turns your attention toward your immediate surroundings and increases your interaction with friends, neighbors, relatives and business associates – the people you deal with every day. It is a good time to look at how you handle these casual relationships that are so important for your life. Often we develope unfortunate habits in communicating with these people, which undermine our effectiveness and our ability to communicate with them. In fact, clear communication should be one of the goals of this period. With the Sun in this house there is a temptation to pour out energy and take none in. But try to avoid this. Instead of always being the active agent in communication, be the passive one, too – in other words, listen!

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975You will have a strong desire to experience with all of your faculties as a whole person, not just with your mind. Also you will defend your beliefs and opinions with emotional and passionate fervor. It is not that you are looking for a fight, but you will not run from one either. You won’t allow anyone to walk all over you so long as this influence lasts. You seek out relationships and friends who will arouse your emotions as well as your intellect, and you may be on the lookout for someone with whom you can have a passionate sexual relationship. This influence also makes existing sexual relationships more intense. You will have the energy to work very hard, but only on projects that affect you personally. There is some impulsiveness with this influence and a tendency to leap to conclusions.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975This influence deepens the emotions and creates a greater need to belong to an individual or to a group. Friendships are extremely important to you today, and they may change your life. Love relationships are more intense, and physical sexuality is experienced as something transcendental. This is a good time to try to understand your emotions and how they affect your relationships. Certainly any emotion that you feel today will have extraordinary force and vigor. No experience under this influence is superficial, nor would you be satisfied with any that was.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972Mars in the 11th House activity period from June 17-mid Aug. 2007
Theme: Going for the one *
Valid during several weeks: This is a time to formulate your goals and actively pursue them. You identify your basic ego energies very much with the future now, and you want to work today for the sake of what you can bring about tomorrow. You will be able to achieve your goals most effectively by working cooperatively with others. This is not a good time to be a loner, nor should you allow your own ego drives to conflict with everyone else’s. The trick with this influence is to create a balance between your own self-interests and other people’s interests. Physical activity with friends, such as athletics, is especially good for you now, as are projects in which you work with a number of other people. Now you should get some strong personal gratification from what you do, so do not put yourself in a back-seat position with others.
Moon Square Venus which is a weak transient effect shows that tonight you are under a very pleasant, light- feeling influence. You enjoy being with others and find all social contacts interesting. Most people feel very affectionate toward loved ones during this time, and there is a strong desire to support and protect those people who are important to you. But be careful not to act too possessive or to try to limit anyone’s freedom. If you behave in this manner, you will experience this influence discordantly and will have trouble with your loved ones. You may feel very sentimental under this influence, for it tends to reawaken memories of the past and causes you to feel very attached to them. Also you should beware of any tendency to overindulge in food or drink. Discipline is not one of the strong points of this influence.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Theme: Petty personal motives
Weak, transient effect: Tonight you may display great sensitivity and feeling in front of or when dealing with others. Or you may allow your thinking to be entirely overcome by personal and subjective considerations so that no one can communicate with you or understand you. This influence can go either way. On the positive side, it enables you to feel out the mood of a group of people so that you can appeal to their deepest emotional concerns.
The same energy that enables you to feel out moods also makes you feel vulnerable and exposed with others. Thinking and decision-making are not favored by this quality of time, because your mind is dominated by petty personal motives that cannot go beyond your immediate psychological necessities.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978During 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 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.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985Misunderstandings??
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you are very sensitive emotionally, but the impressions you receive through your sensitivity may not be very accurate. You have vague feelings about the circumstances and people around you, and you may feel very confused, because you aren’t sure whether you are being realistic or unduly suspicious and fearful. Misunderstandings with others are very likely, because you tend to feel that others have unfairly criticized or hurt you, although they have done nothing of the sort.
Or you may feel that someone dislikes you for the flimsiest reasons. The reason is that this influence activates your subconscious complexes, which take over your moods and perceptions. Instead of reacting to the reality of what you see, you react automatically to the subconscious process set off by what you see.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
**( Perfect, as usual)
New horizons
Valid during several weeks: During this time you should attempt to broaden your horizons in every way possible – through study, new and unfamiliar experiences, travel or by meeting people from totally different backgrounds. Strive to make even the most trivial encounter a positive learning experience. The same function can be served by doing things that are different from your normal routine. This is not the time to retreat to your home, except for reading or study, as mentioned. If you cannot get interested in a new mental activity, recognize that you are still eager for new understanding and satisfy this need by breaking out of your everyday mold and getting out into the broader world. Travel would be a good way to do this, if you can arrange for it at this time of year. But you should go somewhere where you can also learn something.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980You identify very strongly with your ideas and opinions at this time, and you are rather inclined to be argumentative. If someone disagrees with you, it seems like a personal affront. You may get into pointless arguments by defending a position that doesn’t need to be defended. Even your routine communications may take on a defiant tone, especially if you feel that others have had the upper hand at other times. On the other hand, if you have to “sell” an idea of yours to someone in your job or anywhere else, this is a good time to do it. As long as you refrain from giving people the impression that you are attacking them, you will impress them by the power with which you state your ideas.

David Stremme has the identical ‘aspect’s that Kevin Harvick has ruling his chart during the race.

Casey Mears, born 12 March 1978Seeing clearly **
This influence confers patience and willingness to do difficult and exacting work. Therefore, this is a good time to do any work that you have to keep on plugging at, even though it isn’t rewarding. If this influence comes during a period that is otherwise difficult, it guarantees that for the moment at least you will be able to cope with your situation, no matter how difficult it is. Intellectual or physical work that requires perseverance and great attention to detail is favored by this influence. Also, this influence will help you get to know yourself better. The close attention to detail that characterizes your way of seeing now will help you see yourself and your own reactions very clearly.

Brian Vickers, born 24 October 1983 In most areas of your life, you are able to act much more decisively than usual, especially in dealing with others. You know where you stand, and you ask others to let you know where they stand. And despite your self-assertiveness, you are able to create a balance in a group so that everyone benefits from working together and no one feels dissatisfied. Under this influence you will want to enlarge the scope of your activities somewhat. It will not be enough to express your energies as you have in the past. At this time you want to find new expressions, and you will look for people to share in this. For this reason you want to be with active people who have enough energy to go along with your plans. On the physical level, this is usually a period of good health.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975At this time you have to deal with your own hurt feelings – either you are reminded of old wounds by some incident, or a sore point is disturbed again. Maybe you feel a little weak and are conscious of a certain aversion to handling the usual everyday interchanges – a feeling as if you were coming down with flu. If you now have the need to be alone, then that is what you should really do. If you make too many demands on yourself or if you are not left in peace, you may become hurtful to others – for example, your children if you are a parent – as a result of a certain indifference. Fortunately, this influence lasts at most half a day.

There you go…Remember as I said, when the moon is void of course,anything can and does happen. The last couple of moon void of course aspects became races that were rained out. Babies are quite often born too:)

(“I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity for a win, but the most important time is the birth of your child. I’m not going to miss that. We’re prepared for every contingency. Helicopters, you name it. This child is costing me a lot of money before she’s even born. And it won’t stop there.”~ Read more Jeff Gordon

NASCAR’s David Stremme ~ Personality Profile, 6 month ‘scope and Love tendencies:)

Wow!! How ’bout that Stremme at Kentucky tonite??
I shared the other day that I was able to participate in a live phone call with David Stremme, thanks to Wrigleys Gum and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. I feel privileged to have been chosen to participate in this call, along with such notable bloggers as Steve from Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie i.e: On Pit Row, and Mike from Trouble in Turn 2. The fact that only 3 of us were participating allowed for a lot time for us to really visit with David. Angie Copen of CGRwFS gave a brief background on the Wrigley Sweetest Ride Sweepstakes running at WrigleysRacing.com along with an overview of Motor Whirled the prank interview video. Take a look at the sweepstakes. It might just win you a new car.

As I also said before, David was a joy to talk to, He was so laid back and unpostured, he was a fresh breath of air. I bet he has enough winterfresh gum to make sure he stays that way too. He said he likes the fact that his car was the Winterfresh car, as it went well with his other favorite re”fresh”ment Coors Light. He was funny.
We talked about astrology…David said “I believe in that stuff. I stopped dating a couple of girls because they didn’t match my sign”. David also spoke about the COT car, his performance so far this year and his hopes for the future, and his team mate Juan Pablo Montoya. He said he has learned a lot from J.P. about the road courses. He was a bit apprehensive when he found out that J.P was coming on board, but has come to really respect him, like him, and feels that he, Juan and Reed are a great and inspirational team for each other.
Steve said that all 4 of the cars matched the personalities of the drivers and I agree. I am just so glad Kasey didn’t end up with the Juicy Fruit car. I am still steamed over that stupid Jay guy at the awards ceremony embarrasing Kasey so bad. That was so not cool.

Here is David’s Personality profile, 6 month scope and love tendencies. (Maybe this will help, David ) Happy Birthday!!

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
The report was generated with the following birth data: male, born on 19 June 1977 in South Bend, Indiana.
Your sun sign is Gemini. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Virgo, and your Moon is in Leo.

Sun in Gemini, Moon in Leo

You were born with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Leo. Deep within yourself you are an intellectual being. Your mind is very changeable, adaptable, alert, and aspiring. It is positive and strong. Internally you come under the influence of the Sun in Gemini. This makes you a volatile individual.

The danger is that sometimes you may lose yourself in concepts and theories and become increasingly inactive. More determination could greatly improve your character.

Others see you as a strong, forceful personality. Fate always seems to place you in situations in which you must exert authority over others and act with full responsibility.

A person under the domination of the Moon in Leo could be fortunate in money matters. You are open to criticism, and you may achieve recognition and fame in life. You can express yourself well and do not hesitate to take positions that expose you to the public. However, you may compensate for whatever negative traits you carry by your generosity and your direct and unassuming attitude toward others.

You are very susceptible in love and sexual affairs. You will be fortunate in relationships and will prove to be a sincere lover.

The key to a better integration of your being is to harmonize your more real intellectual nature with your apparently passionate personality.

Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Tenth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the tenth house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.

Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to persevere and exert ingenuity.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don’t try to be forceful about it because Virgo’s natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though you don’t mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of the affection you are receiving.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.

You are very preoccupied with the attainment of success. Success or failure should occur relative to your own willpower.

You possess the ability to undertake successfully any business related to commissions or dealership: your professional life will be a varied one, and in many instances you will undertake several professions simultaneously.

In business dealings, there is a tendency not to be too factual. Your speech is fluent and your memory is retentive. Apply these to your practical life and you will achieve success.

Note: Mercury is technically near the end of house 9 and is therefore interpreted in house 10.

Venus in the Ninth House

Venus was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. Your mind appears as very adaptable, gentle, peace-loving and tactful. This position indicates that the secret for your ability to reach a state of harmony and emotional balance may come through the use of your higher mental powers. You have been born with an exquisitely refined, artistic mind which has a very subtle appreciation of all that has to do with culture. Your disposition is kind, congenial, gentle and sympathetic and you have a natural ability to assist other individuals.

This position gives you much social intercourse with intellectual persons and success derived therefrom.

Merely minor disabilities will affect you in your intellectual endeavors. The worst that could happen would be an overly inquisitive, indecisive nature that never seems to be satisfied. However, you have within you the ability to avoid these psychological obstacles.

Note: Venus is technically near the end of house 8 and is therefore interpreted in house 9.

Sun in the Tenth House

The Sun was in the tenth house at the time of birth. The Sun here promises honor, success, and prestige in adult life. Publicly you appear as a vital, proud, powerful person. Your individuality has the need to manifest itself publicly and often to foist its energy on others. You have come to life with a satisfactory physical and moral heredity and you are going to acquire the favorable disposition of many persons of power to assist you in your ascent through life.

Your liabilities include an exaggerated pride, arrogance and a tendency to rely too much on your own resources.

Moon in the Eleventh House

The Moon was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. You should be an individual with many friends and acquaintances, both from within and without your home and domestic circle. You are a person who can make friends in the highest social categories as well as with persons of an inferior status.

This position may also increase the possibilities of having a satisfactory family life and a very congenial domestic aspect with the potentiality of easily fraternizing with other people.

Saturn in the Eleventh House

Saturn was found in the eleventh house at the time of birth. Psychologically, this denotes a rather hidden and limited view of your personal ambitions, your friendships, and of your future. You’re very ambitious, cautious, just, patient, responsible, but perhaps, too serious.

You’re an individual with few friends and many aquaintenences, and even there you may find that some of them will assist you with advice rather than with actual help in times of peril. ( If this is wrong…remember Angie your supposed to get that special info from David’s Mom for me:)

David’s 6 month forecast:

Pluto opposition Sun: Leave well alone
Beginning of January 2007 until beginning of November 2008:

This can be an extremely difficult period for relationships, both intimate and casual, because you are likely to get involved in power struggles with others. It may be that you will try to force others to take a certain course of action against their will, or others may try to do this to you. In either case you may have to take evasive actions in order to avoid real difficulties. If you are attempting to dominate others, you should stop, no matter what your motives are. You may think you have the best reasons in the world for dominating people, and perhaps you believe that you are only doing it for their own good, but that is probably not really true. It is more likely that you simply cannot leave well enough alone. An excessive desire to meddle and interfere is one of the negative effects of this influence.

If you are the victim of someone else’s meddling and interfering, the problem is more difficult. In some way, probably unconsciously, you have given out a signal that you will allow yourself to be treated this way. And having set off this reaction, it is hard for you to stop it. On the other hand, you may gain something by fighting back. It is often useful to experience a test of wills with someone, and it is much less dangerous to you when you are asserting your independence of someone else rather than the other way around. You may need to prove to yourself that you are stronger than your opponent.

One dangerous aspect of this influence is that it may trigger off a conflict with persons in authority over you, such as a boss, a government official or someone in a similar position. These people can do you more harm than most, and you should be very careful.

At its most positive, this influence gives you great energy to accomplish things, provided you can keep down the negative effects so that you don’t arouse too much resistance and opposition from others. Your personal ambition is likely to be very high during this time, and you can succeed, for this is not an “unlucky” influence. It only requires you to be careful, because its energies are very powerful.

Jupiter trine Saturn: Clarity of intention
End of January 2007 until beginning of October 2007:

During this time you can work patiently and slowly to build something up. You are able to keep in mind your long- range goals while dealing with all the everyday concerns that arise. Consequently the work that you undertake now is usually very well done. You have an unusual understanding of the relationship between the parts and the whole.

This is an appropriate time to handle all manner of practical concerns. Your mind is earthbound, but you don’t lack vision and foresight. Therefore this is an excellent time to expand an existing business, start a new one, or branch out into a new area of business. After you find the most practical solution to any problem, you move immediately in that direction. Clarity of intention is one of the strongest points of this influence.

During this time you will not want to be with other people especially. It is a good time to go off by yourself and think things over so that you can arrive at the clearest idea of what you want to do. But don’t worry about feeling lonely. The seclusion will be good for you and not at all unpleasant.

All your actions are governed by a strong sense of duty. You recognize the many responsibilities that you have in the world, and you are willing to live up to them as best you can. You may take a rather paternal attitude toward the people around you, wanting to protect them and take on their troubles as your own. Be careful not to overdo this, however, because even though you have good intentions, beyond a point you have no right to take over people’s lives. They must deal with their own problems.

Even if you encounter setbacks during this time, they are not likely to affect you seriously. You will take them philosophically, cut your losses and move on to the next phase. You will keep in mind where you want to go, and you will not be easily dissuaded from following your objective.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune: A sense of compassion End of January 2007 until beginning of 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 opposition Mercury: Mind the details
Beginning of February 2007 until mid October 2007:

This is a time of very big plans and the culmination of many ideas that you have had in the past. It is possible now to make your ideas become reality, as long as you avoid certain pitfalls. In this case the primary problem is to avoid thinking too big or attempting something that is totally grandiose and impractical.

If you can keep track of all of the details that go into a well-thought-out business deal, this is an excellent time to sign contracts or to conclude any kind of commercial transaction, but it is very important not to overlook any details that might affect the outcome. This influence enables you to see the overall patterns in anything and to plan with foresight and wisdom. But if you are not careful, it can also lead to sloppy thinking or planning. It is best to work with someone else who can check over your work or plans and call your attention to anything that you have overlooked.

Projects or plans that began up to six years ago may come to fruition now, but only if you have been careful about details as described above. At any rate, events now will make it clear whether these ideas were based on reality or on pipe dreams. Work out everything in detail and leave as little as possible to chance; this will help you immensely.

Although recognizing the truth of any matter is important to you now, you must deal with others tactfully. There is a danger of alienating people by being self-righteous or arrogant in telling them about your ideas. It is extremely important that the breadth of vision conferred by this influence be accompanied by tolerance and generosity. Usually it is, but sometimes people react in the negative way just described.

The pace of events may become rather fast moving for you at this time, and that is another reason why you must plan everything very thoroughly. You could get confused, not because the situation is undefined or vague but because the scale of events is too large for you to grasp. But this shouldn’t happen if you have worked everything out in advance.

Jupiter opposition Jupiter: A little care and restraint
Mid February 2007 until end of October 2007:

Under this influence you are likely to feel quite good, with enough confidence to handle just about anything. It is a period in your life when you feel optimistic and as though you can do whatever you want. However, you may be somewhat overconfident, so be careful not to take on more than you can handle.

At this point, several time-consuming projects may be coming to a head at once. This could be either quite advantageous or quite difficult, depending upon how well you have estimated your capacities in the past. What is happening now may be more than you can deal with, so you may have to cut back a bit.

This can also be a time of restlessness, for you feel that your everyday world is simply not “big” enough or does not provide enough experience for you. If you feel this way, you need to enlarge your scope of activity somewhat, but again be careful not to overreach.

You may have given others the impression that you are overambitious or that you want too much (in their terms, at least), and they may try to prevent you from getting any further. If this happens, all you can do is confront them directly and try to reassure them that you are not after their position (unless, of course, you are). Because of this possibility, you must be somewhat compromising.

However, none of this is necessary. With a little care and restraint, you can convert this into an excellent time that will produce considerable good, especially in financial matters. This influence can make you either extremely extravagant or extremely successful in such matters, depending upon your natural bent.

Uranus conjunction Descendant: More arguments
End of May 2007 until beginning of February 2009:

This influence brings about disturbing close encounters with others. Relationships in general will be a significant challenge, and you won’t even be able to take the old reliable ones for granted. Other people seem to be trying to disrupt your life and make you uneasy.

Marriage is the most intimate one-to-one encounter, and any hidden tensions, any problems that either of you has been holding back will come out now. Consequently your marriage may go through some rather startling changes. If it has not been working out but you have been holding it together anyway, this influence may very well signify its breakup. Even in a good relationship you may have more arguments and disagreements than usual. This applies as well to two people living together. A business partnership may also be affected in a similar way. Clearly this is a time when you have to do a lot of straightening out.

Other types of confrontations may also be quite disturbing at this time. For example, you may become involved in very disruptive legal disputes. Settle these as quickly as possible, because you will not be able to count on the outcome of any legal confrontation at this time, no matter how good it looks. Be careful of acting in a way that stirs people up against you, for they could become extremely disruptive, if you give them any excuse.

This influence indicates a general reworking of your relationships with others, and you may not always be happy about the outcome. In general, others are resisting your efforts to control the relationship, which you may be doing in spite of your best intentions. But your partner will not ask that the relationship be totally destroyed unless you are so rigid and unwilling to change that there seems no other way out. All your partner wants is to redefine the relationship so that she has a greater say and more room to move. It is possible that these effects may work the other way, that you are the one who is struggling to gain control in a relationship. In either case, the relationship has to express each of you more appropriately than in the past.

Now the “Juicy Fruit” on David and the girls:

Ascendant in Virgo
This position makes you a very attentive lover, and your sexual enjoyment is limited only by your imagination and the means to implement it.

You should find a partner who knows exactly what pleases and displeases you.

You derive great pleasure from the props and surroundings of your lovemaking, from a well-appointed bedroom to all kinds of playful fetishism.

It is rather important to have a partner who conforms physically with your image of a good lover, and it is wise to discuss ahead of time your preferences in bed to avoid running into problems later.

Sun in Gemini
You have the potential for a broad variety of sexual experiences. This does not mean that you require a number of lovers to achieve happiness. It would be wise to choose a partner who enjoys experimentation or is willing to learn and to try whatever you dream up.

For you, sex is recreation more than a personal statement, and you need a partner with an equally lighthearted approach who will become involved with you in other ways as well.

It is unusually important to you that your lover be your friend, because sex alone is simply not enough. Your most fulfilling moments come when you are deeply in touch with your lover, and this does not happen in the bedroom alone.

Sun in the Tenth House

Probably you will find people to become personally involved with at your place of work rather than at a social gathering.

Whether or not you deserve it, you probably have quite a reputation as a good lover, because others tend to believe only the best that they hear about you.

It would be wise to keep weeknights for yourself, reserving weekends and holidays for entertaining a lover; then you can put your full self into it. Otherwise you may find that your business life is always in conflict with your love life, and both areas suffer.

Moon in Leo
You are very open and mellow toward your lover, and you are a very enthusiastic and outgoing love partner.

Your partner should enjoy social gatherings, because you feel unfulfilled if you are alone for a long time.

Generally you are an optimist, which helps the physical side of a relationship.

Physically and emotionally, you enjoy the presence and love of many different people, but you will probably lock your truly heartfelt loyalty and love to one person only.

Moon in the Eleventh House

You will be most attracted to a lover who has a good deal of class and breeding, and you do all you can to help the person you love become more successful in the world. Indeed, your own presence and style have this effect.

You have a certain ability to create social harmony among disparate people and can turn a lackluster gathering into a good party. It’s fine that you enjoy such social occasions, but don’t neglect those intimate moments alone with your lover.

You may renew relationships with old flames periodically throughout your life.
( Just remember to let me run your comparison charts:)

Venus in Taurus
Your appetite for love is fairly consistent, and ideally you should have a lover whose style is consistent from day to day.

Your physical surroundings are a gold mine of sensory potential for enhancing sexuality.

You need to admire your partner and feel sure that he or she is durable and independent. It would take a larger-than-life personality to fulfill your ideal, so try to be understanding when your partner doesn’t live up to your highest expectations – nobody’s perfect.

Venus in the Ninth House

You have an innate appreciation of anything new and special in a relationship, and sex at its best is a constant adventure for you. What you want is a continually fresh emotional attitude to love that does not get into a rut.

You may find that quality in a relationship that is an adventure and a learning experience in itself. A foreign lover or one who is culturally different from you might be very exciting and challenging.

Note: Venus is technically near the end of house 8 and is therefore interpreted in house 9.

Mars in Taurus

You take a while to warm up to lovemaking, but once in gear, you sustain a steady and unfaltering pace that allows plenty of time for full sexual expression. You should give careful consideration to your lover’s rhythms and timing so that you do not either wear out or exasperate your partner.

Your regular sexual drive needs consistent outlets to keep in balance, so you are best off with a regular partner.

You are quite frank in your expression of affection, and you need a partner who does not intellectualize love too much but encourages you to manifest it directly in a manner that you both understand without words.

Mars in the Eighth House

You like to maintain a certain air of mystery concerning your style and motivations in sexuality, which can add both power and attraction to your image as others see it. In order to stay in control of your sometimes complex and subterranean inner forces, you must make a particular effort to explore them and reach an effective level of self-understanding.

Sexual activity has a very invigorating effect on your constitution.

Because of your own makeup, you are rather good at unraveling the tangled skeins of others’ personal lives. In a love affair you can pursue seemingly well-hidden motives that reveal your lover’s special needs, and then satisfy them.

There you go!! David is a prize jewels, just waiting to be polished!

I have taken a look at David’s scope for the next year. Watch out for him in 2008!!

NASCAR Alien “Graduates”

“I kind of feel like I’m graduating. I’m excited about my future, and I know a lot of opportunities await because of what everyone at Hendrick did for me — on the track and off.” ~ Kyle Busch
But where do we send the grad gifts?

So…Jr. chooses Hendricks. Good. I am glad. I hope the whole Hendricks Hater thing slowly passes away and Jr. will be the peace maker. Good choice.
I think Kyle should take the korn Flake car and go to DEI
Enough said for now. Sorry Helen and Gloria. I must continue the Alien saga, no matter where they go. Others know that Aliens are among us…

The headline “New World Order” over at NASCAR.com struck me as being rather sinister…fits right in with the Alien Conspiracy tho… The Aliens will never rule!! Never!!

NASCAR ~ What’s next?

NASCAR News of the day:
Dale Jr. will tell us what team he is going to tomorrow. Darn! I was hoping all the anticipation continue until after the Chase was over and the 2007 Champ would be ignored and over shadowed by the where is Jr. going game. No, Jr. knows that is what would happen and he doesn’t want to overshadow the attention his new team mate will get, assuming Jeff Gordon takes the Chase and Jr. is going to HMS. (**Please Dear God, let him go to Hendricks!! Please! Let’s see how many of Jr.’s Hendricks hating fans are driver loyal.)
NASCAR.com seems to think that’s what will happen.
BUT!!
What about the Alien Baby Busch? Who will take him if he leaves HMS? Would Step-Mommy have a new driver to announce? ROFLAO at the thought of that too.

Jr.’s ‘scope for tomorrow has a theme of being ” In tune…” :
Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
This morning your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. There is less of the feeling that two sides of you are struggling for mastery over the whole.
You are sensitive to others’ needs, and you understand how you can use their moods and sensitivities for positive ends. On the other hand, you may choose to retire into your own personal world. The richness of feeling and emotion that this time brings may make you feel like being alone or with only your closest loved ones.

Baby Busch’s scope? Odd coincidence.

Theme: Hurt feelings
Through a careless remark, a slight clumsiness, or a wrong word without bad intent, you suddenly find yourself in an embarrassing situation, feel yourself hurt or belittled. If you react in an injured manner, demand apologies or become aggressive, this will only cause further, unnecessary pain for you.

Enough of that NASCAR news for me.

This is way better news.
I participated in a conferance call interview with David Stremme today. What a great guy. I have always liked David’s relaxed manner, and lack of posturing. After speaking with him this morning, I like him even more. He’s a very funny guy. I will be writing a bit more about the call tomorrow. I am waiting for some information and then I will be doing David’s natal chart and 6 month forecast in a very accurate manner:) I will be posting his “Love magnetics” also. (?) HA!! David, Steve, Mike and Angie know what I am talking about.
Gotta Run!
Thanks so much to my daughter for posting for me while the podunk server was having “issues”. STILLLLLLLLLLLL waiting for HughNet to get out here.
Cheers!!

NASCAR’s Funniest?

Wrigley’s Sweetest Ride Sweepstakes running at wrigleyracing.com, created Motor Whirled, a humorous behind-the-scenes interview with their drivers David Stremme, Juan Pablo Montoya, Reed Sorenson, Kasey Kahne to get their thoughts on what makes the sweetest ride. Funny!!
Check it out here. You’ll laugh. I promise.

P.S. I knew by Kurt’s scope he wouldn’t get suspended. I didn’t want him too. Who would give Tony, Robby, Boris, and Jeff Gordon a run for the money in the road races? I love watching him drive a road race almost as much as I love road races. Last years Sonoma finish with Robby was the best!! Almost. Robby didn’t win.

Matt Poole’s NASCAR Dreams are coming true!

Just in from my Birthday Brother Matty Star Man! (See? I already have him nicknamed!)
For Immediate Release

MATT POOLE’S RACING DREAM COMING TRUE

Lafferty Motorsports of Concord, NC is pleased to announce that Matt Poole of Pittsville, MD will be driving the Lafferty Motorsports Street Stock Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Matt’s very first race on Saturday, July 21 st, 2007. The race will be at one of racing’s most famous short tracks, Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, NC. Lafferty Motorsports fields an entry in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the ARCA Remax Series, as well as Late Models and Street Stocks. 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.

On Friday, June 1st, 2007, Matt drove the Lafferty Motorsports Street Stock at Hickory Speedway. Matt posted some of the fastest lap times of his development, which began in February, 2007. His consistency and speeds have improved with each and every test, and Chris Lafferty feels confident in putting Matt behind the wheel for his first race.

“Matt has made great progress testing the Craftsman Truck, the Late Model, and the Street Stock car, and has done extremely well in the different types of race cars” said Chris Lafferty. “As a result, we are taking Matt’s development to the next level, by entering him in his first race. I am very pleased with the way Matt has listened and learned during his testing, and I want to see his racing dream come true. The Street Stock Series at Hickory is a great starting point to get Matt seat time. It’s been great watching him progress every time he gets in one of my race cars”

“This is my racing dream coming true” said Matt Poole after his most recent test at Hickory. “This is what I have been chasing after for the last four and a half years, and thanks to Chris Lafferty, that dream is coming true. This is in honor of my mother, and my friend Tonya, two of my best friends in the world. Each and every race I run will be dedicated to them, and I simply cannot thank Chris enough for giving me the opportunity to live my dream of being a race car driver. And to run my first race at a track like Hickory Motor Speedway, where so many legends have driven before me, is really an awesome feeling, a feeling that I cannot put into words. I’m really looking forward to it”

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

NASCAR Astro-Predictions ~ Kurt Busch 6 month Outlook?

In light of Kurt’s recent actions resembling his old Alien form, I decided I better take a look at where he is at astrologically.
Should he be suspended?

“To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.”~ Jean Rostand
“1 race? 2 race? 3 race four?
Too many more walk Kurt out the door.”

Kurt Busch, born on 4 August 1978The report was generated for 6 months starting from June 2007 with the following birth data: male, born on 4 August 1978 at 12:00 noon in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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

Neptune opposition Moon: Strange moods
Beginning of April 2006 until end of January 2008:

This influence produces strange moods and obsessions that can make your life quite difficult if you take them at face value or too seriously. Your perception of the world is not terribly acute at this time, and you tend to see things as you want to see them rather than as they are. Psychic and spiritual studies and teachings, which usually are quite valuable, should be taken up with extreme care at this time because you may misunderstand or misuse them. Often this influence denotes that you are weary of the world as it is and want to escape from it. Spiritual teachings can be used as an excuse for escape, but that is not their most constructive use by any means. The world is here so you can learn to handle it, not so you can avoid it. You can only disguise it, which makes it much more damaging to you.

You can be deceived by your feelings under this influence. For example, you may idealize someone out of all proportion to the truth and insist that what you see in that person is really so because your intuition tells you it is. But you are likely to be disappointed if you do this. Be especially careful in love affairs, which are often subject to overidealizing anyway. Also watch out for a tendency to saddle yourself with "stray dogs," that is, forlorn and woebegone people who appeal to your compassion. If you can really be of assistance to them, fine. But first make sure you can. Your efforts may be wasted on people who do not really want to change at all.

Events in your personal and domestic life may become very unclear at this time. Keep your home life as neat and orderly as possible, for any serious problems there could undermine your self-confidence and make you more fearful in dealing with the world. You may have a problem with female relatives or friends during this influence.

Saturn conjunction Moon: Self-criticism
Mid September 2006 until mid June 2007:

During this time you will need to engage in deep introspection, self-examination and self-criticism. Quite possibly you will feel lonely and depressed. The way in which you handle this influence will have important consequences later for your physical and psychological well-being.

This is a good time for self-searching, so long as you are not judgmental. It doesn't matter whether you are good or bad according to your ideals. The real question is what you are. This influence can help you find out. If you proceed from this point of view, it can be a very constructive time, even though it may be experienced as painful.

During this time you may withdraw from others, have difficulty in relationships - especially with women - experience depression and feel quite inferior to life's demands. The best way to deal with this is not to take it all so seriously. Your perspective is warped, so that small matters seem too important. Do not make final decisions about your emotional life now. Wait until you can see more clearly what you have learned from this time.

If you have recently broken off a relationship it may be best to leave it that way. Do not make a real effort to put it back together until this time is over.

Jupiter trine Sun: A sense of humor
Mid January 2007 until end of September 2007:

This is such a pleasant influence that you may be inclined to sit back, enjoy it and do nothing. However, this is really a very important time in your life because you can reach out into new areas of life and have new and rewarding experiences. Your creative potential is enormous at this time, and you can very easily accomplish a great deal that would be difficult at other times. Your inner energies are strong, and you are full of self-confidence and the feeling that you can do anything.

This influence usually indicates good health and a feeling of well-being, although you may be inclined to put on weight if you are not careful. You may not feel inclined toward physical activity, but it would be a good idea to get some exercise. Make a particular effort to be outdoors. Hiking is a very beneficial activity at this time.

If you are inclined to physical activity, especially athletics, don't take foolish risks through overconfidence. This influence tends to make you overestimate your energies.

This is an excellent time for all financial matters. You will feel like making your surroundings appear more elegant, and you may spend quite a lot of money doing so. This is perfectly fine, and you should think positively in all ways, but don't let this concern with material acquisition blind you to some very real possibilities for inner growth.

Travel, either physically or mentally, often accompanies this influence. Take this time to broaden your understanding of the world around you. You have a strong interest in ideas that are different from what you normally know and encounter, and you are much more tolerant of different ways of living. Even people's usually irritating traits do not bother you at this time. Also your sense of humor is much greater than usual, and you can appreciate the dance of life in all its glory.

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.

Saturn conjunction Saturn: Pruning your life
Beginning of September 2007 until end of May 2008:

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 activity.
Saturn conjunction Mercury: Thinking small
Mid September 2007 until end of June 2008: This is a time of serious, heavy, even pessimistic thinking. Communication with others becomes more significant, but also more difficult. In fact this influence often means saying goodbye. You take life more seriously than usual and look at things more seriously, but you run the risk of losing your sense of perspective.

Your mental and intellectual viewpoint is narrowed by this influence. You are likely to concern yourself with a smaller range of ideas, but you are more likely to think about them thoroughly. You are beginning a major new cycle of ideas and opinions, of communicating in new ways. This consumes your mental energy and limits your ability to range over a large number of topics. Also you root out old ideas and notions that have outlived their usefulness in your life. Your mind is very disciplined, but with this discipline and narrowing of focus there is the danger of thinking too narrowly. You may overlook important alternatives because of your tendency to concentrate single-mindedly at this time. Also, with your tendency toward depressed thoughts you may overlook possibilities that seem too idealistic or risky; probably they are not at all - it is just that you are thinking "small."

Nevertheless this is an excellent time for working a single idea through completely, planning very carefully and realizing ideas that can have important consequences many years from now.

When dealing with yourself and others, be careful that you do not become too concerned with an unattainable perfection. One effect of the this influence can be to make you too exacting and critical, with the result that you alienate others.

Kurt Busch Live Chat Transcript

A huge thanks to Kurt Busch for taking time to chat with GYG fans earlier today. For those of you who missed the chat, here’s the transcript:

Moderator: Welcome Kurt. Thanks for chatting with us today.
Moderator: Since we only have 30 minutes, we’ll get started with the questions…
Kurt Busch: My pleasure.
im4kurtbusch: What do you do during your spare time?
Kurt Busch: Well it’s always fun and exciting to find a moment of spare time
Kurt Busch: When I get the chance I love outdoor activities like golf or skeet shooting. Even a day out on the lake is a fun way to relax.
GoArmy01: Do you think you’ll get a win this year?
Kurt Busch: I think a win is right around the corner. Our team is coming together real strong and each week we make solid improvements in making our Dodge faster
Kurt Busch: I like some of our chances at some of these big tracks coming up like Michigan. We had a really strong car at Daytona 500.
im4kurtbusch: How do you feel about the Car of Tomorrow?
Kurt Busch: I feel like the car is a great idea along with the safety implements as well as the better racing we’ve seen
Kurt Busch: Over time this time this car will definitely lead us into the future. Like most things that are new it just takes time for it to develop and for people to get a better opinion about it.
Nascar_Babe: Hey snow angel, i was wondering why u started doing snow angels on the ground after a win? ive been calling you snow angel ever since. and i am homping one of these days it will catch on and then every one will be calling you that.
Kurt Busch: The first race that I won with Penske was at Bristol. My favorite race track as well as a lot of the fans favorite race track and the day that I won I think that it was about 40 degrees outside. That was one of the coldest races in history
Kurt Busch: In seemed fitting for the day and it carried on with other wins.
kosburn1: Have you noticed the fans giving you more respect then in the past? You sure do deserve it!
Kurt Busch: It’s definitely great to have the Kurt Busch fans out there cheering for us every week
Kurt Busch: It seems as if as time goes on we get more fans. It’s great to have their support and we’re going out there to win every race for them.
katie90: How’s the transition going with Troy?
Kurt Busch: Things seems to be going smoothly. Troy is a very smart low key kind of guy
Kurt Busch: He’s done a great job at absorbing the tough role as a crew chief in a short amount of time
Kurt Busch: His experience grows each week and he surprises me with how quickly he’s catching on.
GoArmy01: Do you prefer the current car over the COT?
Kurt Busch: I’m in the same boat that everybody else is. We just need to choose one car
Kurt Busch: I believed NASCAR realized that and they announced very early that we’ll be running the COT full-time next year
Kurt Busch: I was a fan of the new car in the beginning and still am a fan of it.
Highflying9916: If you did not make it as a driver what would you being doing right now?
Kurt Busch: I’d be somewhere in the racing industry. If it’s in your blood it’s in your blood. You can’t get rid of it
Kurt Busch: Whether I’d be a crew guy or on the marketing side of it, I’d still be in racing.
in2deep: Kurt, do you keep in touch with your old team mates?
Kurt Busch: Absolutely. It’s real easy to talk to them whether it’s at the track or away from the track
Kurt Busch: Driving in NASCAR these days is similar to a fraternity where sometimes you’re able to spend some afternoons or weekends with your buddies.
CapnChaos: Have you ever raced at the Nashville speedway ? Any plans ?
Kurt Busch: I’ve done a little bit of testing at the Nashville Super Speedway. It’s a great racetrack that deserves a NASCAR Nextel Cup date
Kurt Busch: I’d love to race there but the schedule is so grueling that it will make it tough to get there to race between all of the Cup races.
im4kurtbusch: I love to go to Bristol and watch you race? Do you think you run better there than anywhere else.
Kurt Busch: Bristol is my favorite track
Kurt Busch: I love the short track atmosphere especially during night races
Kurt Busch: But of all the short tracks Bristol is my favorite.
Forward16: i’ve been hearing a lot about the upcoming TV show…what was it like teaching celebrities how to drive race cars??
Kurt Busch: It was really fun seeing the celebrities out of their element! It was entertaining watching them as well as teaching them
Kurt Busch: I believe they now have a good apprecaition for how hard racing really is
Kurt Busch: I think you’ll enjoy watching it.
GoArmy01: What are your thoughts on hendrick domanance with the COT and otherwise?
Kurt Busch: I believe there’s other strong teams out there that just quite haven’t had the perfect days that the Hendrick cars have had
Kurt Busch: The Penske cars have been strong as well the Gibbs cars. I think Hendrick just got out of the box a little quicker than most teams but the gap is definitely closing.
GoArmy01: If you were trapped on an island and could only bring 3 things with you, what would you bring?
Kurt Busch: Well I’d have to bring my Fusion Power Phantom razor
Kurt Busch: I’d definitely have to bring satellite TV so that I could watch Fast Cars & Superstars
Kurt Busch: And probably miss out on Miller Lites if I didn’t bring some with me.
kosburn1: Any plans on racing any more Busch races this year?
Kurt Busch: I’ll be racing 2 more as of right now
Kurt Busch: Heading back to Watkins Glen in August to defend our race title that we won there last year
Kurt Busch: And then I’ll be out in Kansas later this year as well in October I believe.
im4kurtbusch: Which Roush member would you say you were closest to?
Kurt Busch: Probably Matt Kenseth. He was formerly a Gillette Young Gun and the 2 of us worked out of the same race shop for many years so the racing relationship turned into a personal relationship as well.
kosburn1: what’s a typical race morning like for you?
Kurt Busch: Well it starts out with quite a few autograph sessions. Most important is seeing the race fans on Sunday morning and I’ve been at my souvenir rig for the past 7 years so that the fans can come by and see their favorite driver
Kurt Busch: After we do that there might be a sponsor hospitality event. Shortly after that it’s off to the drivers meeting
Kurt Busch: And then I always make time to have a lucky turkey sandwich right before the race.
purefaith: Who would your all time racing hero be? Or do you have one?
Kurt Busch: It would have to be my father. He didn’t race in NASCAR but he raced locally back in Las Vegas
Kurt Busch: When I was a kid growing up there was always a race car in the garage and it was his race car so I looked up to him as my mentor and as my hero
Kurt Busch: In fact with Father’s Day coming up I’ll be sure to get him a basket of Fusion Power Phantoms.
in2deep: Kurt, if you could choose any track in another country like Canada or Japan to race at, what country would you choose to race in?
Kurt Busch: It would probably have to be the Monaco Grand Prix in the Cote d’Azure
Kurt Busch: The excitement of that race captivates me like no other race and as historic as it is it would be something very special to me to have the chance to race in it.
katie90: If I remember correctly, you have been a Gillette Young Gun from the very beginning? What’s that been like?
Kurt Busch: Gillette has been a great partner to work with. Not only do they support us in racing they make great products too from the Mach 3 Turbo to the current Fusion Power Phantom their products are always “the best that a man can get”
Kurt Busch: We always do a lot of innovative things marketing wise like the prank commercials and the upcoming reality TV show. It’s a blast to film those pieces as well as to mingle with the other drivers and celebrities.
Highflying9916: I would like to be a driver one day. Do you have any words of advice for me?
Kurt Busch: The best advice I would give is when you first start out keep it on a level where you’re having fun
Kurt Busch: Don’t push too hard and don’t take it too seriously
Kurt Busch: The other advice I can give is what my father gave me which is bring the car home in one piece so that you can keep moving forward instead of having to work on it all the time.
Moderator: ok we have time for one last question today….
Highflying9916: Who is the driver you most respect in the garage?
Kurt Busch: That would have to be Jeff Gordon. He’s a 4 time champion and continues to rack up serious stats. The guy came into our sport and changed the face of marketing which allows drivers like myself to team up with great sponsors (like Gillette)
Kurt Busch: It’s all about the almighty marketing power and it’s great to be teamed up with Gillette and all of their associated companies.
Moderator: We’d like to thank Kurt for taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with us today. We look forward to watching you in “Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race: Fast Cars & Superstars” which premieres on ABC this Thursday at 8 pm Eastern.
Moderator: Good luck in the Chase!

NASCAR Dover Astro-Predictions

Here are the predominant aspect’s for the driver’s for the Dover Race:

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Enlightened self-interest?
This influence usually signifies a day of great activity in several areas of your life. You feel a great need to exercise your will and to determine where you are going and what you are doing. Often this is a day of hard work in your profession. But you will be motivated by tasks that relate to your own personal objectives. Therefore this can also be a day of conflict with others, arising from what they consider your selfishness and excessive self-involvement. Or as you pursue your own goals you may come into conflict with another whose goals are not in harmony with yours. But you must continually remember the people around you and be very careful not to alienate them any more than necessary.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Today during the day this influence gives you a pleasant feeling of restlessness, a desire for excitement but not to the point of disruption. You may feel like shaking up the people around you and jolting them out of their seeming lethargy. Or if you are not conscious of this desire in yourself, you may attract someone who shakes you up.You may try to find ways to change your circumstances or at least provide some temporary excitement. It is possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend today, or an old friend will come back into your life unexpectedly. Friends may provide opportunities for advancement or for getting away from your usual scene for awhile.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Something transcendental?
This influence deepens the emotions and creates a greater need to belong to an individual or to a group. Friendships are extremely important to you today, and they may change your life. Love relationships are more intense, and physical sexuality is experienced as something transcendental.Today you can enrich and enhance a relationship as you realize the strength of your feelings, in a moment when you experience the full force of your emotion. Certainly any emotion that you feel today will have extraordinary force and vigor. No experience under this influence is superficial, nor would you be satisfied with any that was.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Something new
Valid during several months: 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. Subjects relating to foreign places, the law, philosophy or higher knowledge of any kind will engage your attention. 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.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Subjectivity …
Weak, transient effect: This morning your closest contacts will take on a more emotional tone. You will be able to communicate your feelings more easily to your partner , a close working colleague or anyone else whom you encounter on an intimate level. Although the effects of this influence are not very difficult to deal with, you should be aware that you are likely to be so emotional and subjective in your relations with others that you may have difficulty seeing someone else’s point of view. However, this influence favors situations in which you have to be sensitive to another’s feelings or in which someone else has to be sensitive to yours. In your contacts with others you will seek warmth, support and nurture, and you will be equally capable of giving these to others when necessary.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
This is a time when you should strive to integrate your energies with those of the people around you – your friends, neighbors and the groups that you identify with. You will be able to work very effectively with others now, and your goals and objectives will harmonize with those of the people you associate with. You will do this without any loss of identity; in fact, you will feel that what you do affirms your identity. This is a good time for socializing with others. You will enjoy people’s company and derive much benefit from being with them. Now you should find out what you have succeeded in doing and what has failed and prepare for your birthday, when the next cycle will begin.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Provocation ***
Today you feel full of energy, decisive, maybe even belligerent and possibly also ruthless. The physical drive also makes itself clearly felt. At the same time 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.

So far, so good…
Tally Ho…more tomorrow!!’

NASCAR ~ Happy Birthday Kyle Petty!!

Happy birthday Kyle!
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.

Kyle Petty’s Natal Chart
The report was generated with the following birth data: male, born on 2 June 1960 in Randleman, North Carolina.

Sun in Gemini, Moon in Virgo You were born with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Virgo. Inwardly you are much more intellectual than your personality shows, and you are ambitious for intellectual self- improvement. Your internal make-up inclines you to all types of mental work. Your mind is versatile and inclined to change, but at the same time strong and positive.

Your personality is not completely in agreement with these character indications. In a subtle fashion, fate may force you to become involved in activities that are not up to the level of your abilities.

You are quite easy-going and perhaps, as a result, somewhat undecided about things. Your ambitions never leave the realm of the mind or become translated into action. You are perfectly happy without material wealth.

Your pastimes are analysis, exercising critical faculties, and mental dissection. You are very likely to criticize others, but never with malicious intent.

Cleanliness and neatness are necessary to your serene existence. You like serving others and are a devoted and obliging friend.

You are swayed by external influence and the recommendation of others and find it difficult to follow your own will and inner voice. You are plagued by perennial doubt. You are very conceptual and engage in more mental than physical activity. You should open yourself to experience, think less, and try to surrender control. Your habit of analysis is essentially a defense. You feel that you are less the victim of events if you can achieve a total understanding of them.

Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Tenth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the tenth house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.

Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to persevere and exert ingenuity.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don’t try to be forceful about it because Virgo’s natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though you don’t mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of the affection you are receiving.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.

You are very preoccupied with the attainment of success. Success or failure should occur relative to your own willpower.

You possess the ability to undertake successfully any business related to commissions or dealership: your professional life will be a varied one, and in many instances you will undertake several professions simultaneously.

In business dealings, there is a tendency not to be too factual. Your speech is fluent and your memory is retentive. Apply these to your practical life and you will achieve success.

Moon in the First House The Moon is in the first house. This position indicates that you are strongly influenced by your feelings and moods.

Your awareness of yourself is influenced by your momentary feelings, and this perception is subject to rapid changes of mood and emotion. In time, you will learn to understand why you react as you do to various situations, and then you can begin to change your response patterns and take more control of your life.

Others sense your lack of emotional self-sufficiency and tend to get involved in your personal affairs, even if you try to prevent it. You express your sensitivity through an emotional need to nurture and be nurtured by others. While you would like to have guidance and supervision concerning your goals and objectives, it would be better to achieve your aims independently so that you will not feel obligated to others.

The advantage of this position lies in your ability to sense other people’s needs and desires.

In fact, you have a calming effect on people who are under stress, and this makes you ideally suited for working with the public.

Moon Conjunct Ascendant

The Moon conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have some emotional hangups. You want close, intimate contacts with others, but you tend to keep people at arm’s length because you are afraid you will become obligated to them.

You are a mass of contradictions – making demands on people but complaining when they do the same to you; expecting others to make overtures to you and withdrawing when they do. Although you are highly imaginative, you react to stimulating people in a generally negative and critical way.

On the surface you are independent, but you yearn for a quieter role in which you can enjoy the comfort of knowing that someone really cares for you. This can only happen when you lower your defensive barriers and learn to compromise by meeting people halfway.

Saturn in the Fifth House
Saturn was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. Circumstances may oblige you to appear humble and patient in connection with love affairs and as a response to obstacles that will come between you and the object of your love.

It is possible that unless you can exert good control of your temperament, the obstacles can create a response from you that is harsh and severe. You must view these matters in light of the spiritual cause and effect.

We advise you to be very careful in business speculations and not to become involved in operations that have a risky element.

You should make an effort to become involved with the various human experiences of love so that your communicative power is increased. You must be sincere with yourself. Secretly you nourish the desire to be involved in human situations, but you apparently have lost the ability to relate to other people. A little more openness and confidence in your loved ones could be a good course to follow.

Sun in the Tenth House
The Sun was in the tenth house at the time of birth. The Sun here promises honor, success, and prestige in adult life. Publicly you appear as a vital, proud, powerful person. Your individuality has the need to manifest itself publicly and often to foist its energy on others. You have come to life with a satisfactory physical and moral heredity and you are going to acquire the favorable disposition of many persons of power to assist you in your ascent through life.

Your liabilities include an exaggerated pride, arrogance and a tendency to rely too much on your own resources.

Venus in the Tenth House
Venus was found in the tenth house at the time of birth.

You will appear as a person who seeks harmony, inclined as you are to observe the aesthetic value of all things in life, to engage in artistic activities and to possess all that is lovely and beautiful. You have sufficient potential to achieve success in life, especially if your occupation is artistic or musical.

Much of your success is a consequence of applied interest and hard work; you posses merit and ability, and your congenial, intelligent manner produces a very exalted image.

In any case, there are very good possibilities for the acquisition of some social distinction, a good reputation and financial success at some period of your life.

Note: Venus is technically near the end of house 9 and is therefore interpreted in house 10.

Kyle Petty’s 6 month Forecast ~
Jupiter square Ascendant: On the lookout

Beginning of January 2007 until beginning of September 2007: This is usually an excellent time for most kinds of relationships, but there are some pitfalls. Basically this influence signifies a desire to grow and advance through contacts with others. Probably you are willing to give as much as you get, although in some people this influence triggers a desire for advantages through others without giving anything in return. In fact as they get ahead, such people act arrogantly toward everyone, even those who helped them. This causes others to reject them, and when they hit hard times there is no one to help them out.

But this result is totally unnecessary, and all you have to do to avoid it is to keep a sense of humility and recognize what others have done for you. With this influence you have the potential to become a truly better person, but only if you keep these warnings in mind.

Quite frequently this influence brings a seemingly “lucky” chance through a friend or associate. But it is not luck so much as the fact that you are very sharply on the lookout for opportunities that can benefit you. Your sense of timing is very acute, and your sensitivity to others and their needs is greater than usual. That is one reason why it is so bad to ignore others’ needs, because you don’t even have the excuse of ignorance.

Benefits can come to you in either your personal and domestic life or in your work. There may be an opportunity to make money or to make improvements in your home that will make it much more pleasant. Or you may meet people who will help you learn more about the world and expand your view of it in various ways. You have to be willing to let this happen, however, which means you must be receptive. This is another area in which being arrogant brings the risk that you will get nothing of lasting value out of this period.

Jupiter opposition Sun: A turning point
Mid January 2007 until end of September 2007: This can be and usually is a very positive time. But you can make more or less out of it, depending upon how you handle it. In most ways it represents a period of culmination in your life, and you will be tempted to expand beyond any reasonable limit. There is no question that you have a good chance for success in any one of a number of endeavors at this time and, within reason, you should pursue them. However, you should not restrict yourself solely to material and physical growth now. Even if you don’t have all the material goods that you want, you should turn your attention to spiritual and inner needs. Ultimately, nothing satisfies like satisfaction. Objects that you acquire, possessions, money, and even social prestige are merely devices to make you feel that you have satisfaction. They are not the state of satisfaction itself. It is your inner difficulties that make your life less than it could be, even if you have corresponding problems in the material world. You must look for the solutions within yourself, and this time represents a turning point, where you should begin to look for the answers.

Under this influence, the tendency is to go after everything that you want in the material world without caring especially about whoever is in your way, to gather as much stuff as you can and indulge yourself in what you want. Then, as the influence subsides, you may feel that this effort has failed, leaving your life as empty as it was before.

Do not be arrogant toward others or assume that you have everything right. Through meaningful encounters with others, especially intimate one-to-one encounters, you can find out which way you should go at this time. Work with another person and think in terms of mutual growth. By trying to achieve goals set by both of you and by trying to be a twosome, you each will become more conscious of what you are as an individual. If you can recognize the real meaning of this influence in terms of your own life, this can be an extremely productive and growth-oriented time, a period that will always have meaning for you.

Jupiter square Moon: Magnanimity
Mid January 2007 until end of September 2007: This is usually a very favorable influence. It gives your emotions a great deal of power, so that you feel them much more emphatically and are more in touch with them. At the same time you want to establish empathetic relationships with others, to hear their problems, to help out and play a protective role toward them if possible. This influence may make you feel very sentimental about and attached to your surroundings and to familiar objects. Your past is very important to you now, and if there are events in your past that you find uncomfortable, they are likely to come up. There is often a need to confront the unconscious areas of the psyche during this time, but you should regard this as an opportunity to be healed of the wounds made by these energies from the past.

In emotional relationships, this influence can create a tension between your desire to be close to someone and the desire to free. Be careful to give your loved ones the same freedom that you want, and do not try to be unfairly possessive of them. Also, confrontations with the unconscious aspects of yourself mentioned above can affect relationships adversely during this time. In such cases it is necessary to cultivate a sense of detachment and not become so wrapped up in your emotions that you cannot see beyond them.

This influence gives an enormous concern with social and individual justice. You are easily outraged when you see someone getting the short end of the stick, but your emotionalism may make it difficult to see a good solution to the problem. Try to avoid feeling self-righteous and intolerant. You will need to have a very open and generous point of view in order to clear up any conflicts that occur at this time, and emotionalism masquerading as righteousness will not accomplish anything useful. Instead, take advantage of the ample positive side of this energy by helping those who need it. Protect the people you can protect and succor those who have been hurt. Magnanimity is just as much in accordance with the meaning of this influence as are extreme emotionalism and self-righteousness.

Jupiter trine Mars: Ethical standards
Mid February 2007 until end of October 2007: This influence creates an easy flow of energy that enables you to act much more effectively than usual and to take initiatives that demand foresight, careful planning and considerable self-confidence. Almost any initiative that you take now will work out as you want it to. It is a good time to start any enterprise.

Your actions are governed by a strong sense of integrity. You may be ambitious during this time, but you feel that it is very important to achieve your goals correctly and in accordance with ethical standards. Others will recognize your integrity, which will increase their confidence in you.

Under this influence you have a strong desire to make something of your self in the broadest sense of the term. For example, there is the drive to succeed, particularly in some project that you have started yourself.

This influence also signifies actions aimed at enlarging your scope of action, giving you more freedom of movement and creating opportunities for new experience.

This is a good time to approach a person with whom you do not usually get along or someone you have had a temporary dispute with and make an effort to settle it. You will find it easy to convince the other person of the integrity of your motives because it is true, and they will respect that. If you are involved in a legal controversy, this influence is a good time to settle that dispute on terms favorable to yourself.

Saturn trine Jupiter: Enough foresight
Beginning of September 2007 until mid May 2008: This is a time of balance and order in your life. You may have to work hard for financial gain, but at least your affairs are in order. Your business or professional life is well organized, and you should be making steady progress toward your goals. The gains you make at this time are not strokes of luck, they are the solid results of good organization.

Your greatest asset at this time is that you can see clearly how various parts of your life are working out. You understand the rules, and you are willing to play by them. Your attitude toward life is pragmatic and practical. You are more than usually willing to accept a situation as it is while working patiently to improve it. You are now in a position to make important choices that will greatly affect your future.

Your employers, bosses and other authority figures can help you out now. At other times these people may have seemed to be obstacles to your advancement, but now they are extremely willing to help. This is in part because you make it clear that they will gain by helping you. You are much more capable now of real give-and-take than you have been at other times. When others see this, they are more willing to work on your team.

Older persons may provide opportunities for real insight into your life. From the perspective of their age, you can see how to improve your own life and help it grow.

This is a time to consolidate and buttress various aspects of your life. Put aside money for the future, invest or buy life insurance. Make peace with the difficult aspects of your life or with those people who are potential sources of trouble. In the not-too-distant future it will be difficult to deal with the loose ends you leave now. You have enough foresight now to see this and make the necessary adjustments.

Saturn conjunction Pluto: Confinements

End of September 2007 until beginning of July 2008: During this time you may have fewer resources available for doing what you want, and you may have to focus the available resources on more restricted and concentrated objectives. The effects of this influence are several. First, structure in your life will change significantly, but not suddenly or without warning. The changes brought about during this time are inherent in what is being changed, if you look carefully. It is rather like an inevitable conclusion of a situation. During this period some things will come to an end or an old order of life will cease. On a metaphysical level, this influence means that factors are now being incorporated into the structure of your life that will later bring about evolution and growth. This process involves getting rid of old structures. What happens now will have great consequences in fourteen years.

On a material level, this influence often causes financial problems or other kinds of shortages. Sometimes government or other officials will impose heavy burdens that greatly restrict your freedom of movement. It is also possible that some incident or accident may affect your health and thereby restrict your freedom of movement.

All of these effects confine your energies so that later they can be focused upon matters that will require your full attention. If your energy is spread too thin, later crises will be much more difficult to bear. Then you will have to go through a most unpleasant house- cleaning of everything in your life that interferes with your natural pattern of evolution.

As you are more and more restricted by circumstances and the need to use your resources conservatively, do not simply hold in your energies. Build new structures to correct the problems you face now, and concentrate all your energy on bringing about necessary evolution in your life.

NASCAR ~ 12:12 and Ryan Newman is back!

12:12. How lucky is that? Today Ryan took the pole with a very special significance. In his 40th career tie, he hit the 12:12 mark, which in numerology signifies a new dimensional door opening. The luckiest opening possible. I am jumping for joy for him. 12:12 is the number of manifistation. The number that shows triggered awakening. A special time for Ryan to define, visualize and create exactly what he wants in his life. Go for it Ryan. The Rocketman is back and back with a passion and Universal energy that is the best that can be. This continues with Ryan through 2008.
Congrat’s to Jr., Bobby Labonte, for a fine run, and to Dale Jarrett, MIKEY, and Jeremy Mayfield for getting in the race on merit. I will be posting Kyle Petty’s natal chart and 6 month scope a little later.
Again!! Way to go Ryan!
