Ryan Newman Signs New Deal! Listen to more here!

Ryan Newman narrows it down! 

Strike Joe Gibbs Racing from the list of potential employers for Ryan Newman. Newman’s name has been most prominently mentioned to land with Stewart-Haas Racing next season. Sources close to the situation said he also has had discussions with JGR, Richard Childress Racing and Gillett Evernham Motorsports. An RCR official said Friday that he expected Newman to go to Stewart, and JGR president J.D. Gibbs said Sunday it was unlikely the driver of Penske Racing’s No. 12 would join his Toyota team.

Has Ryan Newman made up his mind?

A network website is reporting that a NASCAR source close to the situation told them that the deal and announcement could be made official within the month.Newman supposedly reached the agreement after Joe Gibbs Racing was unable to finalize a deal for sponsorship to start a fourth team. JGR president J.D. Gibbs confirmed on Sunday at Indianapolis that it was every unlikely that they could get sponsorship for both Newman and a forth team, making Newman a non-factor. “Another time, another day, maybe. He’s a great individual. You would love to have him on your team. It’s just all those ducks aren’t in a row.” Read more here!

Ryan Newman to Race with Stewart-Haas

The news is in, and Todd Morse says Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman is racing with Stewart-Haas.

Tony Stewart’s future is looking brighter because of Joe Gibbs Racing’s inability to find sponsorship for a fourth team.  Thanks to that lack of sponsorship, Stewart’s new 2009 Stewart-Haas racing team now has a verbal agreement with top tier NASCAR driver and fellow Indianan, Ryan Newman.  Read more here!

Don’t Get too Excited Just Yet!

A source close to Ryan reveals it all.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet! There have been some recent articles posted that reporters have put out that sound factual.  However, Ryan has not verbally agreed to anything and is still working on his 2009 and future plans.  It is funny how much speculation has been going on about Ryan’s future.  Everyone will know when the deal is signed, the i’s are dotted and T’s are crossed.  Sorry to disappoint, just don’t want anyone to  jump to conclusions. 
On to other things.  This has been a week of controversy.  I don’t know how those celebs in LA handle all the false information and attention the media puts out there.  Don’t even get me started on Rusty Wallace!

Tony Stewart Fined $10,000, Team Put On Probation, and Buys USAC Presents!

 

Tony Stewart went above and beyond the $10,000 fine coming out of his pocket, and Tony Stewart Racing also was placed on probation for the remainder of the USAC season. The fine and probation were imposed for unsportsmanlike conduct. He ripped a headset off an official or something, rather “Tony-like”.

He voluntarily bought the USAC officials new uniforms.

What a nice guy.

(!!??) Why would he go above and beyond the fine and probation ?

Did he think twice after grabbing the headphones of an official and remember he’s a team owner now?
Will this be the new team owner persona?

Is this Tony’s Anima, his true inner self that in the analytic psychology of C. G. Jung reflects archetypal ideals of conduct?

He was screamin’ ticked at Goodyear a few weeks ago. He was quiet after Indy. Now he’s buying equipment, as an owner, and reprimanded owner at that, for the Officials of USAC.
Is that even legal?

Allstate 400 Practice

Now I know that there is a very slim chance that Tony would ever lose his temper again, but if he, as owner of Stewart-HAAS racing, happens to deck an Official, could he buy them all new gear too?

I thought that would be called something more HAAS-Like.  You know, a word similar to…

Bribery.

My Driver ~ Your scaring me.

NASCAR at Indy ~ Congrats Jimmie Johnson

NASCAR has announced an internal investigation to try and determine the source of a widespread rumor. The sanctioning body released this official statement:

“It has come to our attention that many people within the NASCAR community, as well our fans worldwide, were under the impression that the annual ‘Allstate 400 at the Brickyard’ was held yesterday and that Jimmie Johnson was the victor. This could not be further from the truth. While we did have a large contingent of drivers and officials at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday, their presence was required for a rare 43-car test session. Why 250,000 people chose to attend that session is, quite frankly, beyond us.”

NASCAR Astro-Predictions ~ Allstate 400 at The Brickyard

Here are the pertinent Driver’s with significant aspects for The Brickyard. I see a lot of impatience and tempers. There are five outstanding ‘scopes this week, Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr., Jeff Burton and Tony Stewart, and Juan Pablo Montoya.

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries until 4:30 EST. Aries is the sign of the Ram. Expect Ram in Rut behaviors until then. The Moon VC will significantly increase the tendency to be aggressive, impatient, stubborn and determined to first. This will effect especially, those who are born under the sign of Aries.

The rest of them pretty much show hot heads. Imagine that, at The Brickyard.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974

LifeLock.com 400 Practice

Today during the day 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. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. 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.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

This is an excellent time for getting things done. You are in an orderly state of mind and have a strong sense of self-discipline. You carefully consider every move before acting. You make plans at a very concrete level and insist that it be possible to execute them in the practical universe. You are not interested in idealistic speculations or abstract considerations that cannot be applied in daily life. All matters relating to work or your profession are favored by this influence, precisely because of your orderly mental state. Any tasks that you do today will be very carefully done with no loose ends. It is possible that your serious and attentive attitude to your work will attract the attention of your employer or other persons in authority whom you encounter.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This morning there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971


This morning your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969

LifeLock.com 400 Practice

This is a good influence for heavy mental work and for tasks that require disciplined thinking. Your critical faculties are sharp and your standards are high. However, you won’t find it easy to communicate with others; either you will have difficulty being understood, or you will give a more negative impression than you intended. This is not a good time for important negotiations or business transactions because communications between you and the other parties will probably be delayed or misinterpreted. Also it will be difficult to make the right kind of positive impression in such a situation, so delay personal contact until another day. Today you are able to think very practically, but do not let this practicality turn into narrow-mindedness or a total lack of vision.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

Coke Zero 400 Qualifying

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 providing these elements for your loved ones. But if you are in a negative emotional 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 than those with men.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985

 

 

 

 Under this influence it is very important to keep an open mind on all issues and not become obsessed with one idea or thought. All day you may be preoccupied, even with a thought that you don’t especially care about or that is unimportant to you. In discussions and conversations, do not try to force your point of view upon other people, as you may be inclined to do. It may seem to be the most important thing in the world to make everyone come around to your views, and your efforts may provoke arguments over matters that you have no real stake in. On the other hand, if you turn this energy inward into yourself, you may achieve something of real value. This influence can bring to light hidden forces, psychological energies within you that could change your life.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969

Coca-Cola 600 Practice

This influence can be quite difficult. You are inclined to feel touchy and irritable and to regard almost any communication from another person as a challenge. And you will make this attitude so clear to people that they may even tread lightly around you for fear of setting you off. Anyone who crosses you will be told off in no uncertain terms. The worst way to handle this influence, but what you are most likely to do, is to identify your own ego with what you believe or think. This will make you act as if your very life were threatened, which of course it is not. If you have to fight for your beliefs, this influence can be a help, but don’t look for a battle or create an issue where none exists.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

LENOX Industrial Tools 301 Practice

This morning there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.
Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975


This is a very energetic time for you, when you can assert yourself effectively and accomplish a great deal of work. The problem is that you will be tested all along the line and forced to demonstrate the validity of what you are doing. You may be challenged either by circumstances or by other persons. Your success depends largely upon how well you express yourself in a situation. Being quite unwilling to back down on any issue, you are not moved to make compromises with others. But that is precisely what you should do, especially if you can manage to compromise without giving ground on essential points. Be careful that you don’t become so wrapped up in your own beliefs that you cannot see which parts are essential and which are not.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980


You are energetic and self-assured today, and you feel less helpless and at the mercy of others than is perhaps usually the case – a good time, therefore, for telling someone about your feelings or desires. If at present you have a firm relationship, you can now talk to your partner about needs of yours which, for some reason, you do not like to talk about. The quality of time is on your side, if, for once, you want to act out of character without falling flat on your face. If you are prepared to risk taking such a step, you will observe that you by no means meet with a lack of understanding or a rejection. This influence can also be of significant help with all therapeutic treatments and physical challenges.

Bobby Labonte, born 8 May 1964

LifeLock.com 400 Practice
Tonight the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement with this influence, and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975


Today during the day 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. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. 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.

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967 (Major Transit, valid until Aug.4)


This influence will present many opportunities for achievement. At this time you will be able to strengthen many areas of your life so that they can withstand adversity later. But you have to take control of this moment. Nothing will be given to you without some effort on your part. You will have to exercise considerable care and responsibility and pay attention to what others require of you and the commitments you have made to them. This is not a “lucky” influence in the ordinary sense of the word, but it can be exceedingly fortunate for you, if you work hard to make it so.

Recognition by others, particularly persons in authority over you, may come now. At this time you have more patience and perseverance than usual. You are able to work in a disciplined and careful manner and make your work enduring. This is an excellent time to tackle difficult and demanding projects. Even your health is better than usual, but that does not mean that you should abuse it. Instead, you should be building up your strength. In the not-too-distant future you will need your good health, so don’t waste it now. This is a time of successful preparation for climaxes and periods of crisis to come. How well you are able to deal with the future depends largely upon what you do now.

Tally Ho!!

Onward!

NASCAR Astro-Predictions ~ Allstate 400 at The Brickyard-Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson

Matt Kenseth and Jimmtions ie Johnson have both got Major Transits entering the picture, which I believe will affect them through The Chase. These aspects are significant, not only in racing, but in the lives of these two men.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

Chiron Square Mars valid through Jan. 2009

Valid during many months: During this time you should be careful and keep a tight rein on yourself – especially if you are anyway of a spirited disposition. On the one hand you have considerably increased vitality at your disposal – your willpower and ability to assert yourself are more pronounced than on other days, and physical needs will make themselves felt more too; on the other hand, however, there is also a definite tendency towards using this energy inappropriately, or aiming for a particularly unsuitable objective. In concrete terms this means that although you assert yourself effectively and lay great emphasis on achieving your wishes at this time, you could well proceed in an inconsiderate manner towards others or, above all, yourself.

If you are after some kind of “conquest”, it is quite possible that under this influence you ignore warning signs and advance too directly and abruptly. In this way you could well receive a very clear rebuff, which would, in fact, have been totally unnecessary. Therefore do not allow yourself to be led by your present, particularly strong desires and needs into simply ignoring the slight restraint or rejection of others – the results could otherwise be unnecessarily painful. During this time there is also the danger that you scent competition or opposition where there is none – following the maxim “He that is not with me is against me”. If you are too sensitive and quick-tempered, take every criticism personally and react in an offended manner, then around every corner is an enemy, every conversation can turn into an argument in which you finally, without reason and probably without conscious intent, hurt others and are presumably yourself hurt to the same extent. In your professional life this can lead to your showing yourself up for no reason at all, which you would regret later on. If you have a firm relationship, there could be, for the same reason, ugly jealous scenes which later prove to have been senseless and futile.

For Sundays race:

It is unfortunate that this influence is so brief, because it gives you such a pleasant sense of well-being. Tonight you feel very warm and friendly to the people around you, and you are willing to offer emotional or physical support to anyone who needs it. You are generous and giving. People will warm to you, and you should get from others exactly what you give, that is, warmth and affection. You are likely to attract basically happy and positive people with whom you will have an enjoyable time. This is not the result of a “Pollyanna” view of reality that refuses to recognize trouble and pain in the world, but of a real sense of belonging and oneness with others. In a very important sense you feel that helping others helps you. On another level this influence indicates a concern with the general welfare.

Jimmie Johnson, born 17 September 1975

Mars in the 10th House activity period from 22 July 2008 until beginning of September 2008

Valid during several weeks: 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.

For Sundays race:

This influence is generally good for the flow of ideas and communication between you and others. You are intellectually alive, curious and willing to learn. This is a good day to attend a lecture or a class in some subject. You are willing to have people challenge your ideas and thereby broaden your thinking. At the same time you are happy to share your insights on any subject. Thus all interchange with others today should be fruitful and expansive, both for yourself and for the people you meet. Travel is sometimes indicated by this influence, although usually not over long distances. In the course of daily business you may cover a lot more ground than usual. This is a good day for conferences and negotiations in which it is important to make yourself clear to others.

* I am having some issues with my Internet connectivity, so I will have the other ‘scopes up as soon as possible.

NASCAR Astro-Prediction’s ~ Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart ~ Career Comparison Chart

 
Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
LifeLock.com 400 PracticeLifeLock.com 400 Practice 
Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
 
Short Report – Partnership and Career
for Tony Stewart, born on 20 May 1971
and Ryan Newman, born on 8 December 1977
 
Sun in the Tenth House
 
A relationship with composite Sun in the tenth house is likely to be a significant one.
 
First of all, this position indicates that the two of you have an identity of purpose in your lives together, or at least that you are able to help each other attain the goals you have set for yourselves. Obviously this position is particularly useful for a business or professional relationship, but it is also very important in a personal relationship. If this relationship goes anywhere at all, it will have a strong effect on your life purpose.
Since the tenth is also the house of status, and the house of fame, the partnership is even more significant. This placement is a good indication of an important relationship, one in which you will find a strong identity of life purpose and direction, which will enable you to work well together.
 
Sun Conjunct Mercury
 
The conjunction of composite Sun and Mercury signifies that there will be a great deal of mental activity in this relationship. This aspect is good for verbal communication between you.
You both should be wary of the tendency to intellectualize your emotions rather than deal with them at the gut level.
You have an unusual similarity of thinking, or at least a better than average ability to understand each other’s thinking.
 
Mercury is a planet of travel, not always in the literal sense of the word, but in the metaphorical sense; that is, you like to be continually exposed to new ideas and experiences together.
One of the most positive attributes of this aspect is the ability to be detached from what you are discussing. Because of this detachment you may even be able to talk about your relationship and arrive at understandings that will help you both to get more out of it.
 
Moon in the Eighth House
 
This is a position of transformation, which means that your relationship will undergo extensive changes, partly because of what you will learn about yourselves, partly because of the pressure of your emotions.
In addition, this placement of the Moon in the composite chart makes you very concerned with values. Your shared values may be purely on a psychological level, or they might exist more on the material plane as a great concern for possessions and property.
 
The greatest strength of this Moon placement is the contribution it can make to your self- understanding. Its greatest difficulty is the tendency to emphasize the heavy, moody aspects of your relationship and to dwell excessively on serious matters. Explore the new and constantly changing features of your life together, and welcome such changes instead of fearing them.
 
Venus in the Ninth House
 
With composite Venus in the ninth house, love, freindship, and affection tend to be intellectual issues that are discussed and pondered over rather than felt.
There is a danger that you may overintellectualize your feelings in this relationship.
However, in compensation, you both examine the nature of your feelings and are more capable than most people of understanding what you mean to each other.
The experience of this relationship may also make both of you see more clearly and become more aware of the world around you. Venus in the ninth house can signify love and freindship as an agent of consciousness expansion.
 
Astrologically speaking, Ryan was going to make a change and the astrological influences have been in effect for months. One major aspect of career influence went in effect for Ryan in October of 2000.
He may feel some uncertainty, but no matter which team he chose, he would feel that. This is a major point in not only Ryan’s career, but one which will affect the entire course of his life.
He may surprise us and go with JGR. Maybe.
 
If that happens, I will stop doing ‘scopes.
 
  
 
 

NASCAR Bloggers ~ Happy Birthday Diecast Dude!

 

Today is Jerry Wilson’s  49th Birthday. You know what that means… The Diecast Dude will be joining next year, those of us Oldster’s that have already passed the mark.

We will probably hear the lamentings and wisdom of nearly reaching that major mile stone for awhile, at his personal blog,  Goldfish and Clowns.

Jerry has been a dear to me through some tough times. He would probably never admit that he can be such a nice guy, among that cocky exterior. Jerry is a legend to many of us who have been blogging for awhile. He was one of the first and best. It took a long time before Jerry added me as a “worthy” link. He’s one of my greatest supporters now. I am proud to call him My Friend.

Jerry’s nearly weekly podcasts, which you can hear at Diecast Dude.com, have many times, in his insprational mode, been exactly what I needed to hear. I don’t always agree with his takes on NASCAR or music, but that’s what bloggings about.

So here’s to you Jerry…Happy Birthday from Me!

Happy Birthday from Me!

 

 

NASCAR Rumors ~ Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman Duo to finally be confessed?

  True Confessions?

NASCAR has announced that Tony Stewart will be conducting a teleconferance at 2 PM today. Ryan Newman is also doing a CAM teleconference for NASCAR at 3 p.m. today.
Sounds like they are going to beat the press’s guess of an announcement on Friday at Indy.

I tend to get sick of writing real NASCAR news during Silly Season, so at The Church Tabernacle, we made up our own Silly Season rumor’s.

Here are a few. Spread them around and see how many become “true”. The names submitting the rumors are omitted to protect the guilty.

  • Tony Stewart will decide to retire and start a retreat for head trauma patients with mood disorders.
  • Kyle Busch pays 20 million dollars to jockey the Mars landing mission! Mission Control to shout “Yeee-hah!” instead of “Houston, we have liftoff.”
  • Dale Earnhardt Jr will attempt to alienate his fans by declaring them “immature know-nothings.”
    That will backfire on him though, and will endear him to Jr Nation even more as they take it as acknowledgement and even a compliment.
  • Hendrick Motorsports involved in scandal involving race cars that are within the Nascar rules and regulations.
  • Casey Mears signs with Team Cialis, vowing to stay in the lead lap of races up to 4 hours long.
  • Tstew will open a salon for back hair removal.
  • Chevrolet Racing Division will withdraw support from NASCAR due to financial difficulties, but GM will start promoting its successful Daiwoo division in NASCAR. DEI and RCR will announce they will begin racing Daiwoos in 2010, and Rick Hendrick will collect from Honda what is due him from the bribes he paid them, and HMS will be racing Hondas in 2010.
  • The #40 car will not go unused. It will be driven by Princess Danica.
  • ESPN will see the error of their ways, dump Jayski along with Terry Blount plus David Newton with Marty Smith, and beg me to come on board. (** Guess who said that? )
  • I’ll tell them to eff off and hire John Daly alongside Pamela Britton instead.
  • Robby Gordon sells 51% of his team to Tony Stewart, thus forming Flash Smoke Racing Inc. After switching back to running Chevy’s, Tony takes over driving duties of the #7, sponsored by Home Depot & Jim Beam. Patrick Carpentier joins the team in the #14 Canadian Club car. RG, glad to be rid of the headaches of making day to day decisions for the team, becomes RCR’s fourth driver.
  • Kyle and Kurt go off and form their own team….Team Busch. Can you just imagine the marketing for that one…LOL
  • Due to his $20 million funding of the Mars landing mission, Kyle Busch is going to have to stop paying Samantha for the goods … you think he’s a prick on the track now, just wait.
  • Princess Danika will become part owner, and drive #00000000000000oops1 car. They will bring in Chrissy Wallace to be the hand maiden and allow only women based sponsors, like Tampax, Kotex, Midol, and Cowgirl Creamery.
    The new team motto will be:
    Cowgirls keep thier calves loose to graze. …Or Cowgirls keep thier calves together.
    How cheesy.
  • Let’s see … two bros in a Busch is better than one in the … tush?
  • Danica HAS to drive the 00 car for Team Astroglide, with eyeballs or, alternately, n#$@#%$daubed in the O’s … Female drivers are forced to wear weighted fanny packs to race even with the lardasses they race against, and the motto: “Cowgirls keep their calves round the checkered flag!”
  • Kyle Busch will open a charm school, and a driving etiquette class.
  • “Just wait ’til you see the ‘Old Spice Girls’ next year at Daytona!”
  • Warren Wallace was actually at the wheel of the RWR 64 at Daytona when he put cuzzin Mike into the wall on the last lap.

Feel free to add your own, or join us over at the Big Church.

Tally Ho!

NASCAR Astro Predictions ~ Ryan Newman’s Updated 6 Month Forecast

 

 

Ryan Newman, born on 8 December 1977 
The report was generated for 6 months starting from July 2008 with the following birth data: male, born on 8 December 1977 in South Bend, Indiana. 

Your sun sign is Sagittarius. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Aquarius, and your Moon is in Scorpio.

Jupiter sextile Uranus: A favorable change

Now until July 2009: At this time you desire to make positive changes in your life that will lead to greater knowledge and experience. While the energy of this influence is not usually disruptive, it does make you impatient with the routine limitations under which you normally live. You will probably try to make changes in your immediate environment in order to deal with this impatience. It is also quite possible that the changes will occur more or less spontaneously, with little effort on your part.This influence can be mentally very exciting. You are attracted to new ideas that are challenging in a positive way. Not only are you receptive to them, but you can grasp them more easily than usual. Often under this influence you are able to solve difficult problems in your life because you can approach them from a fresh perspective. You may develop an interest in science or other technical disciplines.

Social reform is another area that you might be attracted to, feeling that the old solutions are not adequate. Also, sudden opportunities may arise, such as a sudden financial gain or a sudden job promotion that will allow you to do much more than you have done before. This influence may also tempt you to take chances with finances by speculating or gambling. In a larger sense, it is difficult to say precisely what you can expect during this time because the nature of this influence is so unpredictable. But you can expect some occurrence that will materially alter your plans for the immediate future, and you can expect that it will be a favorable change. Your immediate future is likely to have many more possibilities than are apparent now.

 Jupiter square Pluto: In a tight spot

End of February 2008 until beginning of November 2008: This influence can have the effect of arousing your ambition to achieve great things. You feel as if your energies could carry you higher and farther than usual, and you are willing to strive for power and success. But your efforts may run into considerable resistance from others, especially if you are not completely scrupulous about your methods. This time can bring you success and social standing, but it also can deprive you of these. Instead of gaining power, you may simply provoke conflict with those who are in power, sometimes quite innocently. You may have no intention of challenging anyone, yet you find yourself in a tight spot with the authorities. Another manifestation of this energy is that you may become involved with a project to repair or rebuild something. It might be physical property, a neighborhood or a more abstract matter, such as reorganizing or reforming a government, business or other institution. Your aim is to improve, but here again you may encounter opposition from people who do not agree with your ideas or who feel threatened by your actions.

You must avoid becoming obsessed with any plan or course of action, and be particularly ready to reexamine your ideas of right or wrong in any matter. Stand up for what you believe is right, but first make sure that you are right. This influence sometimes can make you feel convinced of a point of view that is actually shaky. You should look at religious, philosophical or metaphysical views very closely. If you wish to lead others to enlightenment, first make very certain of the quality of your own.

In some cases this influence can lead to legal conflicts, and you should be very sure that any legal matter you are involved in is strictly legitimate. Avoid underworld or shady persons in any matter.

Jupiter sextile Moon: Warmth and generosity

Beginning of March 2008 until mid November 2008: This influence makes you feel quite good, optimistic and positive about life in general. You have strong feelings of warmth and generosity toward others, particularly friends and those whom you encounter on a day-to-day basis. You feel that you would like to protect and care for everyone you meet. You will derive uncommonly deep experiences from what appear to be ordinary, routine interactions with others. Your everyday surroundings, your family and relatives will provide satisfactions that may be missing at other times. And these encounters will provide opportunities to grow and to enlarge your life. The usually confined limits of daily routine can actually become the vehicle for new chances and opportunities.

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

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

Saturn square Neptune: Keep it simple

 

End of September 2008 until beginning of July 2009: This influence signifies a time of great uncertainty and possible confusion. Your objectives are unclear, and you may feel incapable of coping with even the ordinary details of your everyday life. One of the best ways to cope with this influence is to make your everyday life as simple as possible, because you are so easily overwhelmed at this time.This is not a time of robust confidence. You are questioning almost every aspect of your life, particularly your goals and ambitions, your ability to attain them and even whether you are worthy of attaining them.

 

At the same time you may feel that your universe is constructed in such a way that you cannot ever live up to your ideals. Disappointment, discouragement and pessimism are all likely effects of this influence. The danger is that this kind of negative thinking may actually undermine your effectiveness in your work or other important activities. Feeling insecure often creates circumstances in which you really are insecure. Do not take things so seriously! Your negative state of mind is probably not justified by the facts of your life. This is just one of those times when your spirits seem to sag.

You should try to hang on without making any permanent decisions or commitments on the basis of your current pessimistic views. In a short time, you will understand that right now your view of reality is changing in a way that ultimately should be very constructive, although it does not seem so now. About two years from now, you will be able to make constructive changes in your life based upon your new understanding. This is probably not the best time to make changes.

Saturn square Sun: Patience and perseverance

Beginning of October 2008 until mid July 2009 : This influence represents a time of critical developments. Various factors in the outside world will challenge you strongly, and it may seem difficult to maintain your freedom of action in whatever you are trying to do. You may feel unusually discouraged at this time, because your vitality is at a low point. It may be best not to struggle too hard against any adversity that comes into your life now. Patience and perseverance will carry you through until your energy level is up again.

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

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

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

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

Saturn sextile Moon: Family matters

Mid October 2008 until end of July 2009: This influence gives you a sense of discipline and self-control, which will make it easier to deal with the emotionally complicated issues in your life that you normally avoid. At this time you can deal with difficult relationships that you could not handle in the past with proper detachment and objectivity. You can reflect upon your feelings and examine them without letting them control you. Make whatever changes should be made in your personal life with confidence that you are seeing the truth clearly.This influence enables you to build constructively upon your past and to embody its best teachings into your current life. Anything you do at this time must have a strong connection with your past life. This is not the time to make a radical break with tradition.

A related effect is that during this time family matters may become very important to you, especially matters concerning one or both of your parents. Here again the self-control that this influence confers will ensure that your family interactions are constructive. You are in better control than usual of your unconscious attitudes and the behavior generated by them, especially as regards family and loved ones.

However, along with all of this is the need to be aware of what you are doing, which is relatively easy with this influence. But if you take a passive attitude and simply let things slide by you with no effort on your part, the old patterns in your life will take over, and little progress will be made. This period is an opportunity to take conscious control in your life. Nothing will force you to do so if you don’t want to, but you would lose an excellent opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NASCAR ~ How Kyle Busch Keeps Winning ~ Updated 6 month Astro-Forecast

Miracle? Or Not?  

Don’t get all weird on me. I am just joking.

Here is Kyle’s 6 month scope ~ Updated.

 For Silly Season 2009

Kyle Busch, born on 2 May 1985

Your sun sign is Sagittarius. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Aquarius, and your Moon is in Scorpio.
The report was generated for 6 months starting from July 2008 with the following birth data: male, born on 2 May 1985 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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

Jupiter trine Sun: A sense of humor

Beginning of February 2008 until end of September 2008: 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 square Moon: Magnanimity

Mid February 2008 until mid October 2008: 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 be 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 square Mercury: Big plans

End of February 2008 until end of October 2008: This influence signifies increased mental activity and a desire to communicate to others something that you consider important. Whether or not your message is important, you probably think it is, so you should take the time to see if that is true. There is no point in loading people up with your ideas and opinions unless they are worth something. And when you speak to others at this time it is vital that you listen to their response. For although you have big ideas and plans, there is a tendency now to overlook details. You may be unwilling to listen to criticism, but if you listen and heed what you are told, this can be an excellent time for making decisions, planning, negotiating and concluding deals or agreements. But this will happen only if you listen to others’ opinions.

This is usually a time of optimism and positive feelings. You have confidence in your ideas and are able to get them across. Communications of all kinds are important to you; for example, you may conceivably do some writing at this time.

It is also important not to overextend yourself. Make sure that your plans are no larger than your ability to cope with them. Sometimes with this influence the pace can get pretty hectic, because you have to handle many different affairs at once. This is when sloppy thinking can become especially dangerous.

During this period you may encounter resistance to your ideas and opinions from a number of sources. It is a good time to examine your ideas and see how well they really hold up in an argument. It is a good time to change any views that do not hold up because you can easily enlarge your viewpoint under this influence. You feel no need to be petty or quarrelsome, but you do feel compelled to defend the ideas that are important to you. Any truly important beliefs will hold up during this confrontation and become more a part of your basic mental pattern than ever.

Saturn trine Sun: Further training

30 August 2008 until 15 September 2008: At this time the circumstances of your life and your own inner energies are working quite well together. But this influence will not seem especially lucky; rather, your life as a whole will run smoothly, and whatever you do will come out well. Without any special sense of effort, you are actually able to make significant progress and get a great deal done. Take advantage of this and accomplish as much as possible. If an opportunity arises for further training to expand the range of your experience, take it, because you will build up a bulwark against possible adversity later on. The more you accomplish at this time, the easier it will be to live up to demands that will be made upon you a few years from now.

This is a time of preparation for the climaxes that come at the opposition and conjunction transits. Therefore you should use this period to make your world strong and secure against difficulties. This is also a good time for building up your physical strength rather than wasting it. If you waste your energy now, it won’t mean immediate trouble, but in a few years, when you need strength and energy, you may not have it.

This is a good time to win recognition from others for your achievements. Employers or others with whom you work will be impressed with your diligence. And you should strive to impress them, because in a few years your goals will be challenged, but if you have convinced others that you are worthwhile, you will overcome those obstacles more easily.

  • Saturn square Uranus: Radical actions
  • Beginning of October 2008 until end of July 2009:
  • This can be an extremely upsetting and tense period, particularly if you have allowed your life to crystallize into rigid patterns that cannot easily be changed. This is a time of great tension, because your desire for change and new experiences seems to be thwarted by circumstances or other people. If you have been putting up with unpleasant conditions in any area of your life, these will become much more difficult to withstand now. The tensions may become so great that you will unexpectedly take very radical actions that you would not have anticipated a short while ago.
  • During this time you face the challenge of creative change without destructive revolution. If you try to endure the pressure of a situation crying for changes in the face of profound obstacles, you subject your body to extreme tensions, which is not good for your health, especially your nerves.
  • Some people are utterly unconscious of the need for change in their lives. When this influence hits them, changes start to happen suddenly, which can be quite upsetting and unpleasant. The changes may even take the form of accidents, which are often an unconscious and inadvertent release of subconscious tension.
  • You will have problems with any relationships that seem to be holding you down too much. Relationships may break up during this time, but not usually those in which both people are open to new and challenging experiences. This influence is most threatening to structures that have become routine and rigid.
  • Your work situation may also become oppressive if you are given new responsibilities without any new stimulation or opportunity for a different experience. Here also there is the danger of a sudden break, such as quitting suddenly or even being fired, unless you can learn to incorporate change into your daily routine.
  • Authority figures in general seem oppressive and become the focus of negative energy on your part.

Don’t say I didn’t tell you.

 

 

 

NASCAR at Chicago ~ Kyle Busch Wins Again!

Kyle Busch wins...again!

Kyle Busch wins...again!

Congrats again to Kyle Busch. The Younger Alien has some other worldly energies backing him this year. He is phenomenal. Yes, I said it. A Phenom.

Kyle is living up to this quote by Christian D. Larson, spoken nearly 100 years ago:

“Nature intends all men and women to be mental and spiritual giants, and does not intend that any one should follow the will of another.”

Helen Losse  Helen Losse, a regular reader of my blog, left this poem in my comments. Helen is a loyal Kyle Busch fan, along with being a noted poet and published author. She is a promoter of peace and all things great and good. Her blog Windows towards the World is a near daily read of mine. She keeps me thinking good thoughts.

Night Race
By Helen Losse

Six o’clock and engines roar,
six thirty, seven o’clock, eight.
Finally the sun sets—yellow,
orange, purple sky, definitely
red behind the lighted stands

at Chicagoland. Hot dogs,
wrappers loose, on the track,
on the grill, overheat, cars too
tight, cars too loose, fans scream,
having fun, time flies. Crew chief

yells, “stay out,” “spring rubber in,”
“spring rubber out,” “adjust the track
bar,” “four tires,” or “just take two,”
“gas and go,” gain time in the pits,
or lose. Nine o’clock, then almost ten,

. . . eleven. Then cars spin, cars pass,
go high, go low, fans cheer, fans
boo. Kyle Busch last night, victory
under the lights—checkered flag,
stuck in the mud, sweat and grin.

NASCAR 2008 Astro-Predictions ~ Chicago

Here are the driver’s who have pertinent and the most influential aspects for Chicago. The moon is, once more on a race day, void of course. The void of course Moon periods are characterized by inconsistency, a weird feeling of being somehow detached of reality and immersed into the cosmos, into the interplanetary space, floating somewhere among the rings of Saturn or the hoard of asteroids.In other words,inside out and backwards. Anything you expect to happen, won’t. What you don’t expect to happen, will.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Intricate mental work 
Your mind is quite clear now, and you are able to handle the details of intricate mental work. Work with figures and tasks that require close attention to detail should work out very well. The only thing to watch out for, however, is that you may not find such work interesting enough to want to do it. This is a matter of individual temperament. Some people get restless under this influence when confronted with any routine work, but others handle their routine much more effectively. Also your ability to keep track of details makes this a good time for any business negotiations or other similarly complicated discussions. A contract or deal that you agree upon today will undoubtedly work out quite well, and you will be quite sure that you included everything important in the agreement. 

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Hurtful argument 
During this time you should be careful and keep a tight rein on yourself – especially if you are anyway of a spirited disposition. If you are after some kind of “conquest”, it is quite possible that under this influence you ignore warning signs and advance too directly and abruptly. There is also the danger, at the moment, that you sense competition or opposition where there is none. If you are too sensitive and quick- tempered, take every criticism personally and react in an offended manner, then around every corner is an enemy, and every conversation can turn into an argument in which you finally – without reason and probably without conscious intent – hurt others and are presumably yourself hurt to the same extent. 

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
On the go
This is an excellent time for all kinds of mental work and for negotiations and dealings with others. You should feel mentally alert now and able to put forth your point of view on any matter so that others understand it. Whether they agree with you or not, they will at least respect your opinions. In negotiations with others, you will be able to assert your position and make it carry, if that is your intention. This a good time for planning, writing or any other predominantly mental work. You have a good grasp of how situations relate to you personally, and you can make plans accordingly. This is a favorable time for traveling, because you have lots of energy and want to be on the go. It is most favorable for travel that involves physical effort, such as walking or bicycle riding.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Easy company 
Valid during several weeks: This is one of the best of all influences for group activities or activities with friends. You will feel friendly toward almost everyone, and they will be friendly in return. It is a good time to have friends in for a party or to go out with a group of friends for a good time. You will enjoy each others company immensely and be much more loving and affectionate with each other. This benefit is not limited to activities with friends. Any situation in which you deal with many people in a group setting, for example a business conference or organizational meeting, is favored by this influence. Your ego energies are low enough so that you can deal agreeably with others, making whatever compromises are necessary without feeling that you are losing something personal that you should defend. 
 
Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
A continuous dialogue 
This influence is a powerful stimulus to the mind and to all kinds of communication and interchange with others. You will be engaged in an almost continuous dialogue with others today, which should tell you exactly how you stand with respect to them and how they are reacting to you. It is extremely important that you be receptive to anything that is presented to you. If your thinking is dominated by concern with yourself and your own position, to the point that you cannot hear what anyone else is saying, this is likely to be a day of argument and unconstructive dispute. But if you are receptive, you will be able to learn much. At the same time you can promote your own ideas by making it clear to others that your ideas are not a threat to theirs and that you are willing to work with them as a team. 

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
In a tight spot
*** Major Transitional Change
Valid during many months: This influence can have the effect of arousing your ambition to achieve great things. You feel as if your energies could carry you higher and farther than usual, and you are willing to strive for power and success. But your efforts may run into considerable resistance from others, especially if you are not completely scrupulous about your methods. This time can bring you success and social standing, but it also can deprive you of these. Instead of gaining power, you may simply provoke conflict with those who are in power, sometimes quite innocently. You may have no intention of challenging anyone, yet you find yourself in a tight spot with the authorities.

Another manifestation of this energy is that you may become involved with a project to repair or rebuild something. It might be physical property, a neighborhood or a more abstract matter, such as reorganizing or reforming a government, business or other institution. Your aim is to improve, but here again you may encounter opposition from people who do not agree with your ideas or who feel threatened by your actions.

You must avoid becoming obsessed with any plan or course of action, and be particularly ready to reexamine your ideas of right or wrong in any matter. Stand up for what you believe is right, but first make sure that you are right. This influence sometimes can make you feel convinced of a point of view that is actually shaky. You should look at religious, philosophical or metaphysical views very closely. If you wish to lead others to enlightenment, first make very certain of the quality of your own.

In some cases this influence can lead to legal conflicts, and you should be very sure that any legal matter you are involved in is strictly legitimate. Avoid underworld or shady persons in any matter. 

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Calm and foresight 
Now you experience a time of balance and equilibrium in your life, when you can be yourself with the fewest obstacles from people or circumstances. Various affairs in your life will hum along very nicely now, and you may be tempted to think that they will always go this well. But in fact this is the time to firm up your affairs and make sure that they are strong enough to withstand troubles that may come later on. You should examine the projects that have worked out well in the last few months and prepare them for a time in the near future when they will reach a critical culmination. Success in these matters is almost at hand, and you should use this time to prepare for it. 

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Discordant emotions 
Weak, transient effect: This influence, although not long lasting, can provide some moments of difficulty and irritation. Your emotions are discordant, and you may be more inclined to get into disagreements with others. This will probably have the greatest effect in your most personal life and domestic situation. Consequently you should watch out for unnecessary conflicts with loved ones. In a group, you will not feel that your interests are in accord with the others’ interests. It is not a good time to work with people or to make any kind of public appearance, if peace and harmony is your goal. However, if you are trying to stir people up about some issue or call their attention to circumstances that must be dealt with, this influence can be quite helpful, although the others may not appreciate your role in this. 

Jimmie Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Reflections
During this time, love and affection are strongly tempered by practical considerations. Sometimes under this influence you will ask an older person’s advice about relationships, for you are reflecting about the state of your life and what your relationships mean to it. There is little tendency toward self-indulgence today. Your actions are characterized by restraint, which is usually good if you have to economize or recognize the limitations of your pocketbook. Under some conditions, this influence can indicate difficulties with your love relationships. You may not feel warm or affectionate, and you may alienate loved ones by seeming to be indifferent. A relationship that comes about during this time may be a long-lived but not flamboyant one, characterized by loyalty and soberness.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971 ~  **Discordant Energies ~ See Kyle Busch
Today you will display a great deal of energy in your dealings with other people. However, the problem lies in how you use that energy, for you may try to dominate others. Or you may encounter others who try to dominate you. Do not be so concerned with your own desires that your actions are out of harmony with the people around you. Do not be so willful that you actually get in the way of your own intentions. This influence can help you, because it enables you to make your mark on the people around you, so that they accept you and let you lead or help lead them. But you must be sure that you are right and that others really are willing to accept your leadership. Otherwise you will only create needless conflict that will bring you nothing.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Common-sense answers 
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Emotional encounters 
During this time your emotional experiences are much more intense than usual, which is reflected in the kinds of people and situations that you are drawn to. For example, you may draw in unusually intense or powerful people who have a strong effect upon you. Very often through your emotional encounters with these people, you experience moods and feelings that are quite different from your “normal” self. You may ask if this is really you, it seems so different. And you may also desire something that belongs to someone else, or you may desire greater control over something that is both yours and another’s. In either case you must recognize that your attachment serves no real purpose and that it is a potential source of trouble. 

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Counterforces 
This is a time of challenge and crisis. Very often this crisis occurs in the form of persons who are working at cross-purposes to your efforts. They may or may not oppose you intentionally, but the thrust of their actions forces you to prove that what you are doing is worthwhile. You may be very angry at these people, feeling that they are motivated by nothing but malice. In fact their motives are the same as yours, which you must learn to understand. Challenges may also occur in connection with your efforts to build something up, to create a material structure or to get a project going. Or they may occur as a test of some new aspect of your personality that has recently come into being. 

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976
Untried and True 
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. 

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Just bored 
At this time you may feel a strong urge to get away from the daily routine and go off somewhere, and you may not be entirely conscious of the reasons behind this drive. It is a mood, a restlessness that is hard to pin down. But there is more than one way to get away; for example it can be done in the mind as well as in the physical world. Travel may be beneficial as long as the break from your routine isn’t too radical. You are not really interested in getting totally away from it all, you are just bored with your everyday life. Study or mental journeys may be more useful, because you can remain in familiar surroundings supported by the comforts of your normal world. Yet at the same time you can expose yourself to ideas and concepts that are both revolutionary and liberating. Thus you can have some of the excitement that you crave. 

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Emotional display 
This influence brings professional and business concerns into focus, but in a way that will test you. Your most intimate and personal life is on public display more than usual now, and you may find it difficult to hide certain facts about yourself. Obviously you are best off if you have nothing to hide. Even if you usually have reservations about emotional display in public, you are likely to indulge in such displays now. For example, you might have a public argument with a loved one or partner, or you might have a public outburst of good emotions. Perhaps you will want to help someone whom you know through your job and make the relationship something more than professional. But if it is to your disadvantage to blur the distinction between business and personal relationships, be careful, because you will tend to do this. 

Michael Waltrip, born 30 April 1963
Self-inquiry 
Valid during several weeks: At this time you have to get in touch with your own subconscious mind, to find out how it directs your life in ways that you aren’t aware of. Try to see how your actions may run counter to your conscious intentions. We all broadcast two kinds of signals to the outer world. One kind is what we think we are trying to do. The other kind, which are unconscious signals, tell people what we are really trying to do. If these two sets of signals do not coincide, it is not because you are intentionally trying to deceive, but you may confuse people or even worse, cause them to lose faith in what you are trying to do. This is not a time to be wrapped up in your ego. You must be prepared to acknowledge your faults and your virtues without fear or self-recrimination. 

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967
Creative change 
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. Use this influence to make changes in your immediate surroundings. Chances are, your situation has become too ordered and static anyway. Reform the elements in your life that need to be reformed. This is an aspect of creative change.

Tally Ho LugNutZ! Onward!

NASCAR Astro-Predictions ~ Tony Stewart’s Career, and 6 month Outlook

Here is a look at Tony’s Astrological career/vocation tendencies, along with his 6 month Astrological outlook. Note closely what his ‘scope has been showing in the near future.

I had posted this before, and it all make sense now. Like I said, he has a lot of changes coming up. Good ones.      

Tony Stewart, born on 20 May 1971   

When we are children, people say to us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” At that age, we usually have dreams. When we are children, we are still capable of hearing the voice of the soul. As we grow older, the questions change. There is no longer time for dreaming; we must now “face reality” and think about how to survive in the big, bad old world.An honest and realistic understanding of your fundamental strengths can help you to orientate yourself in the world and put your energy into areas where you can hope to shine and achieve at least many of your most cherished goals.

You spend only when you know you have the resources; and although you appreciate beauty and quality, you will only indulge yourself if you know your hard-won security will not suffer for it. In your work endeavours you have reliability and integrity. Although you tend to take worldly problems more or less in your stride, this does not mean you do not care about the kind of work you do. You have a good deal of passion in you, and you need to feel deeply engaged and wholeheartedly committed in your work.
You might do excellent research work in spheres connected with nature or wildlife. You could possess skills as a surgeon, a veterinarian,a biologist or any career that requires ,precision and a quick mind, along with humanitarianism. But whatever sphere attracts you, you need room to discover new things and go on a crusade to improve the environment, peoples lives, or animal welfare.
Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
Your concern with material stability and the enjoyment of worldly pleasures ensure that you are likely to find success; but you may sometimes forget that you also need “hyacinths for the soul”. You are not only a creature of earth. You have intimations of subtler levels, that people don’t often see…
You can sometimes be very resentful of any kind of interference, and very certain that you are right and others are wrong. This reflects a deep and entrenched conviction that somehow you are too special to have to accommodate others’ advice or suggestions, and you can be arrogant and head strong.

One of the most important factors to consider in terms of your direction in life is how you work with others. Everyone has his or her own style of relating in the working environment; everyone has different needs and requirements. You need to remember that with the others you work around in daily life.

When people speak of “success”, they generally mean a position of importance in the world’s eyes, or a job that yields lots of money and all the material pleasures and comforts that implies. But success, in terms of the deeper issue of vocation, is a highly individual thing that means different things to different people. Only you can define what success is to you and then go for your dreams.

Here is how the next six months look, aspect by aspect:
Uranus sextile MC: Creative changes

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

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

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

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

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

Jupiter trine MC: Boundless enthusiasm

Mid March 2008 until end of November 2008: This is a time of increased optimism and self-confidence. You feel capable of doing much more than you have ever done, and you are willing to make the effort. This influence quite often signifies professional success, and you may receive a promotion of some kind. Others will look to you for leadership, for they recognize your self-confidence and see that you deserve it.

You have a good idea about where you want to go at this time, and you have probably mastered the techniques and skills needed to get there and have acquired the material resources as well. Under this influence you may gain financially, but you are not likely to squander your money. You will use it to get ahead.

If you are in business for yourself, you may want to expand your business during this time, and you may have an opportunity to do so. You may want to make improvements in your home or move to a larger and more spacious one.

Even if nothing very obvious happens on the material plane, as may be the case, this is usually a time of inner peace and contentment. You feel good about yourself, with none of the torments and insecurities that may afflict you at other times. Your confidence comes over to other people, and they feel good being with you. As a result you may be able to support or cheer up someone who is not feeling very well.

At this time you shouldbe careful not to overextend yourself or become overcommitted in your boundless enthusiasm. Keep in mind that even now your energies are finite.

Saturn trine MC: Checking your attitudes

End of October 2008 until beginning of August 2009: This time is usually characterized by self-confidence and assurance. You are able to see where you are going now and to obtain help in getting there. At the same time you are very concerned with knowing yourself on a deep inward level, usually to facilitate achieving your ambition.

This is a time when you try to rely primarily on yourself. You will not refuse help from others, but it is more desirable to go it alone or at least on your own. You need to prove yourself to yourself and, to a lesser extent, to others. It is also necessary to establish patterns in your life now that will lead to accomplishment later on. You must develop disciplined work habits and learn specific ways to deal with situations that arise. Here too you must rely on yourself, because you will be able to judge your effectiveness only if you know that what you are doing is entirely your own.

Most people are rather conservative in their ways of doing things at this time. You may be rather reluctant to experiment with new ways, but that is a pitfall. This should be a time for making careful and considered changes. Such changes can be made voluntarily and without much difficulty now, but later they will be forced upon you in a manner that may be quite unpleasant. Getting into a rut now will ensure the survival of inappropriate behavior patterns, which will create trouble later on.

You should specifically examine your attitudes toward authority figures, work and achievement, responsibility, change and most important, although somewhat abstract, your attitude toward reality. If you are trying to live by attitudes that you have been told to have and that are not really yours, you will feel tense and uneasy when you think about them. Normally you suppress these feelings because you consider it important to maintain your attitudes. But these are the attitudes that have to be changed, because they signify that your thinking is divided about that issue and that you cannot really put energy into making that part of your life work.

Jupiter trine Saturn: Clarity of intention

16 December 2008 until 25 December 2008: 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 trine Pluto: Reform and remake

19 December 2008 until 28 December 2008: Under this influence you will move to make positive changes in your personal and your social world. But the most important question you can ask is, “In whose name do I want to change things?” You should realize that under this influence it is quite easy to exert power and make changes. The energies seem to flow in the direction you want, presenting you with opportunities for taking control in some way. However, you should be motivated by something more than your own personal ambition, even though that will be favored along with any ambition in your life now. But if this power is selfish and personally oriented, you will have trouble later on, and the results will not be lasting. You have to strike a balance and adopt a philosophy of “enlightened self-interest.” You must recognize that you benefit most when you can couple your own interests with those of the people you live and work with. In some way you must embody collective interests truly, not merely in your rationalizations.

You have a strong desire to reform and remake at this time, and you should be striving to improve conditions all around you, to renew and to serve as a vehicle for regeneration in your world. If you attain personal power in any way at all, use it to clear up and clean out. You may have the chance to lead or influence others, so use that influence to help everyone concerned to grow with you.

On the mundane level, this influence can coincide with professional success, political power or tremendous gains in personal wealth or resources. On a more humble level, it can give you the chance to straighten out situations in your life that have been sources of trouble for you.

Jupiter trine Sun: A sense of humor

An approaching transit, from 28 December 2008, until 6 January 2009:  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.

NASCAR BREAKING NEWS: Teresa Looking To Sell, Newman To Haas-CNC With Jack Daniels Backing

Posted today by Dave Moody at The Motorsports Soapbox                 

Teresa Earnhardt selling DEI?

Teresa Earnhardt selling DEI?

NASCAR Radio’s Sirius Speedway is reporting today that Teresa Earnhardt has enlisted the services of Bear, Stearns and Company to find a buyer — or at least a major financial investor — for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Bear Stearns is an investment bank, securities trading and brokerage firm based in New York City, and has been charged with finding a buyer for the entire operation. Barring that, Earnhardt is said to be interested in selling at least a minority interest in the team. more…    

  cont…  Tony Stewart is expected to announce a 2009 move to Haas-CNC Racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in three weeks. Reliable sources tell Sirius Speedway that Stewart will also announce sponsorship from Office Depot and Old Spice as part of a new, multi-year package with Haas CNC, and that Penske Racing’s Ryan Newman  will join him as a teammate, with sponsorship from Jack Daniels.

NASCAR ~ History, Legends, and RacersReunion.com – Maynard Troyer

Today’s NASCAR fan’s are not as savvy to how NASCAR evolved into the sport it is presently. With all the hype and media being in the front row of the right now races, I guess we “oldster’s” have to take it as it is. The sport has evolved into the most popular sport in the United States. I do think it’s up to us, as long term racing fans, to educate the newest generation of fans, on the who’s, what’s and how’s that brought the sport to be.

Visit RacersReunion.com
RacersReunion.com brings the respect back to NASCAR. The site gives presence to the Legendary Racer’s,”The “Good Ol’ Boys”, in the way they should be honored. It gives them the voice to teach us and RacersReunion.com gives us all a richer look at history. Racers Reunion Radio allows me to feel like a student, sitting in front of The Wisemen. I will be featuring the site and upcoming events in the next few days.

Some of the biggest innovations that these driver’s brought to the sport are safety advances. All Racer’s are brave, but the driver’s of today look cowardly in comparison to what the driver’s of yesterday faced, in order to pursue the dreams of speed and the ultimate prize, the elusive Checkered Flag. The driver’s then, drove because they had talent, not money. It was the prerequisite, unlike today. Money first, talent second. NA$CAR.

Maynard Troyer was one of those driver’s. Maynard Troyer’s hard driving style made him one of the most feared drivers in the Northeast modified ranks. The original Intimidator. The Spencerport, NY driver competed in fourteen Winston Cup Series events in his career, earning three top-tens. All but one of Troyer’s starts came during the 1971 season, when he finished 38th in points. Troyer didn’t waste any time getting going, debuting in the Daytona 500 Qualifier event (then a points race). Starting 11th in the field of thirty-one, Troyer completed all but one lap and his marvelous eighth place finish allowed him to transfer into the Daytona 500. But the 500 started a bit of a tough streak for Troyer, only finishing one of his next five races. That rough spot ended in a perfect time for Troyer, who finished 14th or better in three straight races. During that time, Troyer had an 8th place run at Trenton and a career-best 4th place effort at Michigan. But once again a great run began a downward spiral, as Troyer finished no better than 28th in his final four starts of the year.

Troyer’s NASCAR final race came in the 1973 season, and it turned out to be a mix of Troyer’s previous successes and struggles. Starting 21st in the grand Daytona 500, Troyer had an engine let go late, but still managed to finish a respectable 23rd.

Maynard Troyer lived through one of the worst wrecks in history. Let us remember this video when we begin whining about the lack of excitement traded for safety in the CORN car.

Today, Maynard Troyer owns Troyer Machine. Troyer Machine originally went into biz in 1982.  He started the machine shop in a small portion of the buildingthat housed his successful car building business.The original purpose of the company was to manufacture car parts that just weren’t available at that time. The company purchased several machines upon its creation, and soon began designing and producing parts that were well ahead of their time.  As a result, producing innovative, reliable racing parts became the primary focus of Troyer Machine.
Thanks for all you have done for racing, Mr. Toyer. Some fans appreciate what you have done. The fans that don’t yet, someday will.

NASCAR ~ Kyle Busch wins again! The Alien Invasion continues… in Full Battle Gear

Congrats again to Kyle Busch!

The younger Alien Brother, reveling in the unofficial title “The Driver that everybody loves to hate” has done it once more. 6 NASCAR wins this year, dominating nearly every race, whatever the vehicle,truck (or space ship) he is driving.

Love him, or hate him, he’s probably the most talked about driver this year. Toyota and Joe Gibbs Racing must LOVE him with the success he is giving them. The JR Nation hates him. Well, most of the Driver Nations. The New World Order of NASCAR might be sorry they started the New World Order.

I remember saying something in a post or comment a few years back, something to the effect of “You watch that Kyle Busch. Someday, he’s going to start winning a lot of races. He has something to prove, and its adding fuel to the fire. I just hope he doesn’t kill someone along the way”.

 Aliens are taking over NASCAR.

I still think Kyle is an arrogant, immature little punk. And a brat. But…the Younger Brother can drive. So can Big Brother.

Remember Dale Earnhardt? They didn’t call that guy The Intimidator for nothing. A lot of people hated him when he was alive, now the man is Deified. Almost up there with Jesus in God ranks. Too bad he had to die to get there. I certainly hope that never happens in our sport again.

I think Kyle Busch has the same potential for greatness. I do believe he will be one of the greatest driver’s in NASCAR history.
I have to admit that as Kyle did his signature bow, I and many others who may not admit it, smiled. He is just unstoppable this season. He reminds me of Jeff Gordon in the good old days for the #24. In the meantime, Kyle is hot as The Devil, and it’s a lot of fun to watch.

Don’t tell anyone I said that.

My astrological picks for having a lousy race at Daytona, were:
Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Kurt Busch.
My lousy day picks run a little higher percentage of being right on than my “Who’s going to Win” predictions.But all in all they were pretty right on.
Robby Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Baby Busch all had excellent aspect’s this weekend. Poor Ryan. I was way off on him. Sorry buddy.
Tony Stewart and Dale Jr. still have some long term major transits and changes going on, but they are for the better, so we will see what happens in the next few months.

So! Tally Ho LugNutZ!

Off we go to Chicago! Onward!

NASCAR 2008 Astro-Predictions ~ Daytona International Speedway

Here are the pertinent aspects for Daytona:
It’s going to be raining, and the race will not happen.
Or the entire state of Florida will be on fire.
One or the other…

If, by some chance, the race does happen, there are several driver with fantastic aspects for the entire weekend.

But first, the lousy ‘scopes:

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Mercury Opposition Neptune
This is a very poor day for doing any work that requires disciplined thinking and precision. The world looks like an impressionist painting today, slightly out of focus and emphasizing large patterns of color and shadow. Work with numbers of strict logic will be especially affected. If you do this kind of work today, check it over for errors in a couple of days. Almost certainly there will be some mistakes. Communications today will be especially difficult. Even when you and another person are trying to be very clear, you may have misunderstandings. This is a poor influence for any important discussions about business or personal matters. Even if you are sure that you are speaking clearly and honestly, make sure that others are treating you the same way.

 

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Moon Opposition Mars
This morning you should be careful because the energies of this influence are quite discordant and could create trouble in your personal life. The problem is that you are rather emotionally excitable and easily irritated or angered now. With other people you are far less tolerant of individual quirks, and little things irritate you. You may also be in such a contentious mood that no outside aggravation is needed to set you off. Be wary of arguing just for the sake of arguing. But on the other hand, if you feel real anger, you should release the energy; don’t hold it in. Your domestic scene may not be very peaceful under this influence, but try to remain calm, no matter how difficult it is.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Moon Conjunction Moon
Certainly, today during the day emotional attitudes figure more prominently than usual. You should be careful not to lose your objectivity in a discussion or lose your sense of perspective. But you will not feel particularly good or bad with this influence; rather, you will feel any emotion more strongly. Sometimes there is a tendency to attract things to you at this time. Women may also be more important to you than usual. Objects, persons and places that are familiar to you are very important at this time because you need emotional reassurance from your surrounding. You may try to withdraw from others or from confrontations with unfamiliar or strange situations. This is not a negative condition; it arises out of a need to be by yourself for a while.

Jimmie Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Mars Square Ascendant
This influence is likely to coincide with a stormy period in your personal relationships.Associated with these problems is the problem of identifying so closely with your own point of view that you feel your personal honor depends on having your views triumph. Under this influence any kind of team effort that you become involved in is not likely to work. If you can possibly arrange it, try to work by yourself on a project in which you have the total initiative.

That’s is that, for now, on crappy, lousy, cursed…whatever you want to call it.

Now for the more blessed and exciting scope’s:

Robby Gordon’s is Fantastic, for once.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Kevin has five Major Trines going on around his Sun, Moon, Med. Coeli,Mercury, Chiron, Jupiter and Mars. His Moon is also Sextile Mars, which bring a balance between aggresion and anger.He can’t get much better than that from an Astrological perspective.( Unless your name is Denny Hamlin this weekend.) He does have Moon Opposition Moon also, which is usually beneficial:
Tonight your moods are quite deep and your emotions powerful. If you are aware, all your contacts at this time will show you how your emotional state affects other people. This can be either good or bad, but the growth in consciousness is usually very beneficial. One problem with this influence, however, is that you find it difficult to see any point of view but your own. Also, in dealings with a group there is a danger that you will feel that your own interests and desires are opposed to theirs, thus creating more potential for disagreement. You must learn to detach yourself somewhat in order to observe your feelings in action. Otherwise you will not be able afterwards to evaluate what you saw.

 

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Mars Trine Med.Coeli

At this time you feel very self-assured and confident, and you will have the necessary material and physical resources to carry out whatever objectives you have in mind. If necessary, you work very hard to gather people who will work with you and to assure whatever backing you need. You undertake every task with great zeal and energy. And you don’t stand about waiting for someone to give you directions. You take the initiative yourself and finish the task swiftly. Also you will contribute everything you have to the effort. You are sufficiently confident of success that you are willing to take risks, and such risks are reasonably likely to turn out well. This process takes place in such a way that you learn more about yourself, and at the same time you are able to let others know clearly where you stand.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Mars Trine Venus
A perfect balance ** Sexual aspects signify agrresion and determination.

This influence is favorable for sexual relationships and for all kinds of creative activity. It symbolizes the perfect balance between your need to be yourself and your need to relate to another. But this influence is strongly physical rather than psychological in its effects. A purely romantic relationship with no physical sex would not be very satisfactory, but such a relationship is not likely to occur during this time. Your erotic fantasies will certainly be stimulated, and women or men whom you would not usually look at twice seem much more attractive now. In fact you need to have a certain amount of discretion, lest you get involved in a totally inappropriate relationship. But again this influence is not usually that compulsive.
**Moon in the 1st House
This is a two-day period when personal and subjective considerations will override everything else, but it need not be difficult. First of all, you feel a great need to belong and to relate to your friends or loved ones. This need turns on your emotional sensors and makes you very sensitive to the feelings and moods of the people around you, because you want to fall in with their rhythms and become sympathetic with them. This is the unconscious sign of relating to a group. Thus you are emotionally right there whenever someone needs your sympathy, warmth and understanding. You are very concerned about yourself, which is fine, but don’t distort this into a state of mind in which you cannot see anybody else’s point of view. Objectivity, especially in dealing with others, may be difficult to come by now.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Sun Trine Sun
This morning you feel very much in harmony with yourself and able to do whatever you have to do single-mindedly. Your energies flow with less resistance, and life seems to be easier now. As a consequence, you can relate to people more easily, for others perceive your inward harmony and are drawn to you because of it. Obviously this is a good time for any kind of group activity. You are able to relate your own interests to the interests of any group you are working with, so that everyone will gain from what you do. Relations with women are also improved for the same reasons. A marriage or intimate relationship will be especially harmonious now, for this is a time of real understanding. On the physical level this harmony is expressed as a feeling of vitality,alertness and skill,driven to accomplish a great deal of work.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Mars Trine Saturn
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 becomes. 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.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Sun Sextile Saturn

This is an excellent time for getting things done. You are in an orderly state of mind and have a strong sense of self-discipline. You carefully consider every move before acting. You make plans at a very concrete level and insist that it be possible to execute them in the practical universe. You are not interested in idealistic speculations or abstract considerations that cannot be applied in daily life. All matters relating to work or your profession are favored by this influence, precisely because of your orderly mental state. Any tasks that you do today will be very carefully done with no loose ends. It is possible that your serious and attentive attitude to your work will attract the attention of your employer or other persons in authority whom you encounter.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Sun in the 1st House, until July 22.
At this time of year, you will become more concerned with personal matters and less with the world at large. You can project yourself with more forcefulness than usual. It is an excellent time for making an impression on others, but you must be careful because you will not be especially sensitive to their needs. For this reason, you may find it difficult to work with others during this transit. If your efforts to work on projects with others don’t seem to get anywhere now, perhaps you should defer them until later. First you should take care of the proper business of this transit, which is to experience yourself in a subjective frame of reference. You have a great need to express yourself now, and it is a valid need. No purpose will be served by denying all your own needs in favor of a misguided concept of duty.

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. In working with others, you will be able to give them the feeling that your aims are theirs, so that they will work with you more willingly. 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.

At this time you may feel a strong urge to get away from the daily routine and go off somewhere, and you may not be entirely conscious of the reasons behind this drive. It is a mood, a restlessness that is hard to pin down. But there is more than one way to get away; for example it can be done in the mind as well as in the physical world. Travel may be beneficial as long as the break from your routine isn’t too radical. You are not really interested in getting totally away from it all, you are just bored with your everyday life. Study or mental journeys may be more useful, because you can remain in familiar surroundings supported by the comforts of your normal world. Yet at the same time you can expose yourself to ideas and concepts that are both revolutionary and liberating. Thus you can have some of the excitement that you crave.

I hope you all have a really great holiday weekend. Happy 4th of July and remember to be grateful for the freedom we have!
