Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

Jupiter trine Sun: A sense of humor

A transit approaching its end, from 28 December 2008, remaining until 31 January 2009:

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 sextile Jupiter: In good working order

10 January 2009 until 31 January 2009:

This is a time of balance and equilibrium in your life, when all your affairs seem to run smoothly and without much effort on your part. It is a time when you can relax and take it easy for a while, knowing that your life is in good working order. This is also a time when growth seems to occur without much effort – growth in consciousness, in your profession, in your social life or wherever you feel that personal growth is important.

But this is not really a time when you should just enjoy yourself. You should do that, to be sure, but you should also be examining your life to see what needs to be done. It is important to think this way now because the equilibrium that is characteristic of this period enables you to look about yourself with reasonable calm and detachment. It is much harder to achieve a perspective when you are in the middle of some major and possibly chaotic change.

This is a good time to achieve perspective in all possible senses of the word. It is a good time for education, either formal or informal, for getting in touch with yourself through self-awareness studies, or for seeing the larger world through travel.

Business transactions or negotiations are also favored now, and this is a good time to expand your business, as long as it is within reason. Legal affairs also usually run quite smoothly.

Pluto trine Venus: Out of the commonplace

Mid January 2009 until mid November 2010:

This influence emphasizes the creative and romantic aspects of your life. It can bring a new relationship or deepen an old one. A new one that comes at this time will be notable for the strength of the feelings involved. It could hardly be described as casual. There is a compulsive quality about the energies that drive you and your partner together, but this is not at all negative. It will merely seem to both of you that this relationship was inevitable, and you will both find that it is a learning experience of the best possible kind. You will learn a great deal about the energies within each of you that are at work in a relationship. You may discover that love is less conscious and that you act much more from blind compulsion than you realized. But this realization is the first step toward becoming conscious of your feelings.

Your existing relationships will also enter a period of creative change. Your feelings are stronger now, and again you will both learn more about the way you operate in the relationship.

Your creative energies will be aroused and if you are in any way artistic, you will be able to put deep, feeling energy into your creations as never before. Others will recognize the intensity that has gone into your work, for which you may very well receive considerable recognition.

Art and love will have one element in common during this time; that is, the experience of them will transport you out of the commonplace into the extraordinary, for that is what you are seeking. Art and love should have a considerable impact on your life now and affect your future for many years to come.

Neptune conjunction Descendant: Beware of “experts”

End of February 2009 until mid December 2010:

At this time your close, intimate relationships will be difficult and confused. Also you should be very careful about consulting others for advice now, even professionals such as lawyers, marriage counselors or doctors. Of course, not all of these people will give you erroneous information even under this influence, but you would be well advised not to suspend your own critical faculties just because someone else seems to be an “expert.”

A marriage or other partnership will be difficult because communications are unclear now. Perhaps either you or your partner is trying to conceal something from the other. If so, you should stop concealing it as soon as possible, for it can only undermine the confidence you must have in each other. Even if you are concealing something for the other’s “own good,” your partner will not see it that way, and her confidence will still be undermined.

However, you may not be hiding anything. It may just be that communications between you are getting worse. Make sure that you really understand each other, and do not assume that you understand or that anything you say or do is understood automatically. Spontaneous and immediate understanding is not a feature of this influence.

Avoid legal confrontations at this time, if at all possible. Completely unexpected events are likely to happen, which you won’t be prepared for. And your opponent may use underhanded tactics that could hurt your position badly. In general your enemies, if you have any, will be very deceptive during this time. It will be very hard to understand their tactics, let alone deal with them. They may even make false overtures of friendliness to you. Do not treat everyone with suspicion, but don’t take everything at face value either.

Neptune square Saturn: Self-doubt

End of March 2009 until mid January 2011:

During this time you will have problems with insecurity and anxiety that seem to have no apparent cause. Your grasp of reality seems to be slipping away, and you feel very disoriented and confused. Regardless of your material circumstances at this time, this is ultimately a psychological influence; that is, it affects you by causing your moods and your views of the world to change. Any problems you have now will probably have their origins in your own mind. That is the first principle to grasp with this influence. If you can handle its effect on your consciousness, you can handle anything.

The chief problem is that you will begin to have doubts and fears that you are not adequate to handle your life, and you may feel like withdrawing from everything. That is not a good idea, however, because you need others’ points of view to balance your overly pessimistic views. However, if someone is contributing to the shakiness of your self-confidence, you should cut that person out of your life, at least for the present.

Insecurity and lack of belief in yourself have the greatest effect on your job and your domestic life. Remember that you have the same rights and privileges to be yourself as anyone else has, and don’t allow others to walk over you. But don’t become so committed to a position on any matter that you cannot let go of it without further damaging your belief in yourself. One important effect of this influence is that it takes away elements of your life that you have identified with – property, possessions, opinions or whatever. It shows you that your existence does not depend upon being able to hold on to these elements.

In fact one manifestation of this influence may be that you will voluntarily give up your material possessions for a self-denying, ascetic way of life like a monk’s, although probably not so extreme. The best way to deal with this influence is to see just how much you can do without. You may be surprised at how little you need, and your burdens may be much lighter as a result.

Jupiter conjunction Descendant: Mutual growth

Beginning of May 2009 until beginning of January 2010:

During this period you seek to grow in various ways through your closest contacts with other people. You try to create relationships that will further your life, not in a spirit of selfishness, but in a desire for mutual growth. Often at this time a person will come into your life who offers to help you out in some way, usually through a partnership.

In business, for example, this is an extremely good time to enter into a partnership or a contract with someone. In your personal life, you will work more closely than usual with someone, which will work out very well for you both. If other indications are compatible, you may meet someone who will be important to you romantically, but that is not the usual result of this influence.

This is also an excellent time to seek out someone for counseling, especially a lawyer, but also any other kind of counselor. Related to this, incidentally, is that if you have a case in court at this time, it will work out as you want it to.

A relationship should work better than usual now. You and your partner will be anxious to help each other grow and to further each other’s interests in all possible ways. You do not want to restrict your partner or be restricted by them in any possible way. Because you understand the need for freedom of individual self- expression within your relationship, you will try to find ways to bring that about. If your relationship is not working out very well in general, this influence can have either of two effects. It can either bring a time of healing in the relationship so that it ceases to be such a problem, or it can make your desire for freedom so strong that you break off the relationship altogether. At any rate, the problems themselves will cease. And a relationship that does break up under this influence (this only applies to one that is on the rocks) will do so relatively amicably.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

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.

Pluto opposition Jupiter: How it ought to be

End of January 2009 until end of November 2010:

This influence will make you drive yourself and others around you to attain success, excellence or preeminence in some way. It represents the drive to actualize an ideal you hold about how the world ought to be. The danger of this influence is that you may become arrogant and domineering toward those around you, as if you were a kind of superman, above all morality and law except your own.

Before you try to improve everyone around you, strive to improve yourself, which you can do under this influence. Gain a greater understanding of truth in your world, but do not try to force your views on others. And in pursuing your own conception of excellence, don’t try to prevent others from attaining theirs.

In particular, avoid any behavior that could get you into trouble with the law. If you decide to become a law unto yourself, the law of society may have to stop you. Even civil suits should be avoided, if possible, because it will be difficult for you to present a winning case at this time.

You may have a strong desire to manipulate others, not because you want to convince them of your belief in an ideal state of being, but simply because you don’t have enough respect for their rights as individuals. Don’t proceed as if you had a superiority complex, for that will only cause others to gang up on you and try to destroy you.

It would be a pity to waste this influence on any of its negative manifestations, because it really does give you an opportunity to make yourself over according to your ideals. You can undergo a total spiritual regeneration and achieve a greater understanding of yourself and your place in the universe. And your relations with others will be an integral part of the process. Each new meeting and even encounters with old friends and loved ones will show you more about the path of development that you should take.

Jupiter opposition Mars: In a big way

19 February 2009 until 28 February 2009:

This is an extremely exuberant influence, which inclines you to do everything in a big way. Your energy level is high, and you are ambitious in everything that you do. You have a great need to expend physical energy, but be careful not to act recklessly. Discipline and restraint are necessary, no matter what you do.

Do not overestimate your abilities, either to yourself or to others. You are capable of doing quite a bit under this influence, so you don’t have to exaggerate. It is especially important not to kid yourself about your abilities, however, because you will genuinely try to do the impossible and quite possibly exhaust yourself in the process. For the same reason, don’t take unnecessary chances. The feeling of omnipotence that this influence confers is not real, at least not to the extent that you feel it.

Sometimes this influence can signify a conflict with another in which you try to break away from the other’s restrictions. It is difficult to say in general whether your estimate of the facts is accurate, that is, whether the other person is really demanding too much or restricting you too much. Therefore you must examine the issue very carefully before you act. You have a great need to be self-assertive at this time, but be sure to reserve it for a situation in which it can be constructive. Avoid acting upon impulse. It could get you into needless trouble.

On the other hand, this influence also confers real courage. The difference between courage and foolhardiness is simple self-knowledge, which you must have in order to make this influence work out positively. If you are cool and collected in what you do, this can be a time of considerable triumph as you overcome obstacles and accomplish deeds that you usually would feel incapable of. If you have to stand up for yourself, you can, and in a way that makes further dealings with your opponents constructive rather than destructive. But this will happen only if you keep your head.

Jupiter square Moon: Magnanimity

End of March 2009 until mid November 2009:

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 conjunction Ascendant: Beware of airs

Beginning of April 2009 until beginning of December 2009:

During this period you feel good and project warm positive energies out into the world. This in turn affects your relationships very positively and enables you to encounter people who can be good for you precisely because you are good for them. In all personal and professional transactions with others you will give and receive in equal measure.

Personal relationships expand under this influence. If you have been living in a relatively small circle of friends and acquaintances, you will expand your circle and meet people whom you wouldn’t ordinarily, possibly including the rich and famous or people in power. Just be careful that you don’t become involved with these people for superficial reasons; make sure that you can grow through them. The fact that a person is socially significant may not have any relevance to your relationship.

The basis for all this is that in a very real sense you are growing and taking more and more of the outer world into your personal sphere. You are trying to include more of the world in your experience. Properly handled, this process can make you a much wiser and more mature individual. Your view of life should expand, and you should become increasingly tolerant of the wide differences among people in the world. You have the opportunity to become a man of the world to a much greater extent.

At this time, you should be careful not to assume arrogant airs or to think that you are better than you are. You are probably a fine person, but that does not mean that you are necessarily better than everyone else. Think in terms of your personal growth, not in terms of your status with respect to others.

Now…who should I do next?

NASCAR ~ Ryan Newman and The Uppity Bastard

I kind of like that title, although I do believe that the word “Uppity” should be reserved for Pastor-Goddess-Diva’s. But… oh well.

To each his own.

Ryan Newman is news again. I refuse to give any attention to this “Where he is going to go? Oh! It must be Stewart-Haas Racing” until I hear it from his or better yet, Krissie’s mouth. So there.

I did come across a little different take on Ryan here at The Uppity Bastard’s Blog.

He’s entitled to his opinion on poker, I guess.

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

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Moon Sextile Mars
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!

NASCAR Astro-Predictions ~ Loudon 2008

Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle, and Denny Hamlin have great stuff going on this weekend. Kyle Busch does also, however he does have a couple aspect’s that will tend to test him. Depending on how he handles it, will be the outcome.

Juan Pablo Montoya has his own thing going on. Look for some mechanical problems.

Tony Stewart’s scope called for a post of it’s own. Read it here.

Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, and Bobby Labonte all have a challenging weekend ahead of them.
Kevin Harvick’s scope sucks so bad I am not even going to post it.

Here are the other pertinent driver’s scope’s for Loudon. There are many discordant energies abounding, which should make for a great race. Most of these aspect’s are in effect today and tomorrow.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Moon Square Moon
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
Moon Trine Sun
Today during the day you feel very much in harmony with yourself and able to do whatever you have to do single- mindedly. Your energies flow withless 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, even if you may not feel driven to accomplish a great deal of work.

Sun Square Pluto
Then again with this aspect, you may have to encounter and even oppose powerful pressures and forces exerted upon you, both from without and from within. The way you live and exert your energies will be tested today, perhaps forcing you to make radical changes in the areas of your life that you find are not working very well. The best way to use this influence is to let go of old patterns of behavior that today’s events demonstrate to be invalid. Holding on to them will only make your life more difficult, and if you give them up, you will have room for the positive creative changes that can take place now. Also you may have to contend with the breakdown of machines or situations. Anything that tends not to function very smoothly will work very poorly today. It is time to straighten out the situation or fix up the mechanical problem.

Moon Square Moon
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.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Moon in the 3rd House brings a period in which your communications with others are likely to be very subjective, colored by personal considerations and not always factually accurate. On the other hand, your usually casual conversations with others have an emotional depth that can make these discussions very important now. You are not satisfied with the superficial face that other people show you, nor are you likely to show them a shallow side of yourself. So if you can keep conscious control of your emotions and not lose your objectivity, this can be a time of really meaningful communications. Female relatives may play an important role in your life at this time, and one of them may conceivably be able to teach you something about yourself.

Venus Trine Uranus
This is a good day for doing something different. You are probably bored with the daily routine and would like to do something that provides a stimulating, unusual change of pace.

Mercury Trine Pluto an aspect that has been in effect in your life for several months, ends on the 29th. This influence signifies a concern with the very deep issues in life. Today you are interested in what goes on underneath the surface of events and phenomena, and you are willing to dig until you find out. This energy can also turn inward, which is often very profitable. It may be beneficial to be alone so that others cannot distract you from your inward search. For this reason you are likely to be attracted to subjects that reveal the inner dimensions of the psyche, such as psychology or astrology. You may encounter someone today whose ideas have a great effect upon your mind. This is a good time for learning something new, because you can allow your beliefs to be transformed by what you learn. Also you will tend to have a strong effect on other people’s thinking today.

Race day brings Moon Square Mars into focus, an aspect you share with several other driver’s. Tonight 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.
Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Moon in the 7th House
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 any interpersonal situation, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. You may act unconsciously or automatically. Be careful. This morning you experience rapidly changing moods, which may interfere with clear perception of your goals, especially if your goals have been set without much regard for your personal needs. If your goals are purely professional or make excessive demands on your personal and domestic life, this time will be somewhat disruptive. You may feel dissatisfied with your progress, or you may feel that no matter how much you accomplish, there is always something lacking.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Moon Opposition Uranus
On race day, you will have to be quite careful, because you are emotionally excitable and impulsive. In your contacts with others you will seek excitement and stimulation, and thus you may attract people who are quite different from your usual crowd. You may act disruptively in your current relationships. It is not exactly that you are trying to start a fight, but in talking with someone you may stir up feelings that cause a fight to begin unintentionally. Consequently this can be a stormy period in relationships. If anyone tries to restrict you, your reaction will be very negative, even if the restrictions are in your best interests.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Moon Opposition Pluto
This morning you can expect intense encounters with others, chiefly those with whom you are very emotionally involved. The deepest and most powerful sources within your subconscious mind are influencing your actions now, and often it is difficult to avoid acting impulsively. Guilt, jealousy, overpossessiveness or simply the desire to control another’semotions can take possession of you, or you may experience these feelings through someone else. You can be sure that any conflicts between you and another person will reveal a great deal about the inner workings of you both. If you can view such conflicts dispassionately and in a calmer light later on, you may derive some benefit from this influence. Otherwise, these encounters are likely to be fruitless and irritating.

Moon in the 10th House
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.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Moon Square Ascendant
Today during the day 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.

There you go. The moon is once again Void of Course. So on top of this, you have a theme of “Anything Goes!” for this weekend.

Enjoy the race!

Tally Ho LugNutz!

NASCAR 2008 6 month Astro Predictions ~ Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman

The NASCAR season is at the halfway point. That means it’s time to start looking at the 6 month outlooks. Today we will look at Tony Stewart, Dale Jr., and Ryan Newman.

Tony Stewart
The report was generated for 6 months starting from June 2008 with the following birth data: male, born on 20 May 1971, in Columbus, Indiana.

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.

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

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

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 should be 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.

Tony also has some long term aspects that are coming to an end soon:

Saturn trine Venus: It can happen now

Mid September 2007 until mid June 2008:

This is an excellent time for you to achieve real stability in your relationships. Your individual personal needs will not conflict with the demands of the relationship, and you can base them on a realistic understanding of who you are and what others need from you. Your vision is clear, and you are not likely to enter a relationship under the spell of romantic illusions. If you are romantically inclined, in fact, your relationships may seem rather practical and dull now. However, you can use this kind of experience. A relationship should be an encounter between yourself and another individual that helps you define and understand yourself more clearly. That can happen now.

Sometime in the last few years many relationships that were inappropriate for your life were weeded out. That process may have been quite painful, but it was necessary at the time. Now, however, the only relationships left are those that have real value in your life. You should be working on them to improve your understanding of yourself and how you relate to others. This is a time for growth relationships that expand your awareness. For this reason, you may have a relationship in which there is a considerable age difference between you and your partner. The one who is “older and wiser” may act as a guide, exposing the other, through the dynamics of the relationship, to a larger and more realistic view of the world.

Also this influence favors most business and professional relationships, because you now are able to negotiate on the basis of your real needs and self-understanding while appreciating the other person’s real needs. And since you understand the need for realism in relationships, whatever you decide on at this time will be mutually profitable.

Creativity under this influence is not stimulated or checked, but it does have greater discipline and rigor. You may be attracted to difficult and exacting techniques or involved in particularly painstaking craft forms. Anything that you make now is likely to be practical or useful.

Saturn trine Mercury: Mental discipline

End of September 2007 until beginning of July 2008:

During this time your mind, point of view and styles of thinking and communicating have reached a point of stability. You are quite secure in them, for you know how and what you think about most things. This is not a time of change but of preparing to use your mind. Consequently it is an excellent time for any task requiring mental discipline and hard work, such as study, schooling or learning any new mental discipline. It is not a very good time for work requiring great inspiration, intuitive insight and creativity. You will get results through hard work and scholarly methods, not through “divinely” inspired insight.

This influence favors planning and organization of various aspects of your life. You have a definite sense of order in mind, which you can make manifest in your life. This is a good time to put your ideas into practice on the material level and to carry out long- standing plans. If you have planned a project, such as building up a new business or starting a new organization, this is a good time to do it.

With this influence there is a danger that you will let your ideas and opinions become too rigid. It is important that your ideas acquire definite form and stability at this time, because in the future they will be challenged very strongly. You must be reasonably definite and sure of yourself in order to withstand the challenges. But rigidity will only make those times worse, because your thinking will have to be flexible, no matter how certain you are now that you are right.

At this time you have an unusual ability to see every intricate piece of a whole, and your position on most matters is very clear. Consequently your critical ability is greater than usual, and you can see instantly what is wrong in any situation. Just don’t let this degenerate into nit-picking.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The report was generated for 6 months starting from June 2008 with the following birth data: male, born on 10 October 1974,in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

Saturn opposition Jupiter: Crab walk

End of November 2007 until mid August 2008: During this time, your opportunities for growth and expansion in life are limited. You may feel that you are moving sideways, if not actually going in reverse. There may be financial problems, especially if you have overextended yourself in the recent past. Another effect of this influence is restlessness and impatience with restrictions imposed upon you. This period requires patience, but unfortunately yours seems to be almost exhausted.

This is a period of readjustment after a period of possibly too-rapid expansion. Certainly it is necessary to examine your recent past to make sure that you have acted according to what you really want to do and really ought to do. This influence can have the effect of getting you back into a path that you have wandered away from. Do not be discouraged by any recent setbacks. Quite likely they were for the best, as you will probably see in a little while.

Make things more secure and more stable, but do not start any new projects now. If your expectations are overly optimistic, you may be disappointed, but at least the reasons will become clear. You will see what aspect of reality has interfered with your ideals, and in the future you will be able to take this into account.

Also at this time personal relationships may go through a period of trial. You often feel as if your personal freedom is unduly limited by others. Separations sometimes come about because you feel that that is the only way to achieve freedom. And, in fact, you are usually better off after a separation that occurs during this time.

This is a time of cutting back and finding a more stable form for your life. It is not a time of growth and expansion. In fact, too much expansion in the past may be the reason for what is happening now. In the future you will have to make plans on a more solid basis so that changes in your life and pressure from circumstances and people cannot interfere so much. This influence is a useful, if not always pleasant, encounter with reality.

Jupiter square Sun: A matter of self-control

Beginning of March 2008 until beginning of November 2008:

This can be an excellent time, but you must watch out for some pitfalls that could undo all the benefits. Basically this influence is a test of your discipline and self-restraint. If you are not a restrained person, you will react to this influence by going overboard in some way, overextending yourself or living in a fool’s paradise where you think nothing can go wrong. Or you might squander a valuable resource, only to find on another day that you do not have enough of what you need. Sometimes there is a feeling that luck will provide everything that you need without any effort on your part, but this, too, is a false notion.

But this time can also provide a chance for real growth and expanded opportunities. It is a matter of how much control you have over yourself. You have to know precisely where you are and what your real needs are in order to take the most advantage of this time. You also have to know when you can’t handle anything more. Knowing when to stop is the real trick.

Sometimes this influence encourages ego inflation and excessive pride. Be careful not to act in an overbearing manner, for you will set people in motion who will try to knock you down a peg or two. Here too, you must know where to stop.

Under certain conditions this influence can trigger conflict with the law or with someone else in a court of law. You may or may not lose, but don’t act the role of outraged honor and dignity. Try to find out exactly what the problem is and arrive at a solution that is satisfactory to all.

Jupiter square Mars: Insight and skill

Mid March 2008 until mid November 2008:

This influence gives you a great deal of confidence and makes you feel very self-assertive. Usually this is all right, but some people will express this energy by becoming arrogant and domineering. Also be wary of overconfidence, resulting in attempts to do things that are simply beyond you.

Intemperance in almost any activity could completely undo the basically positive nature of this influence. Avoid exaggeration and try to maintain some sense of proportion. If you can do all of this, you will be able to get more work done than usual, and you will do it well. You will be able to accomplish things that you are usually afraid to tackle because you feel inadequate, and you can take the initiative when you would otherwise wait for others to take the lead.

With care and planning and adequate restraint, this influence is a general sign of fortunately timed action that takes advantage of the proper moment and makes the most of it. And this is not luck on your part, but insight and skill. All of this requires preparation, however, because impulsive actions at this time are not likely to be very effective.

It may be particularly important to placate persons in authority over you. If you act precipitately, they may become alarmed and think of you as a threat, whether or not you intend to be. Of course, if you do consciously intend to be a threat, this influence could be a help, assuming again that you have planned carefully. But if you are not conscious of your intentions, you may experience opposition from your superiors without ever quite understanding why.

Jupiter opposition Saturn: Danger of misjudgment

Mid March 2008 until mid November 2008:

With this influence it is very difficult to know exactly which direction the trends in your life are taking. Thus you must be extremely careful in your guesses, because of the danger of misjudgment.

Decisions in general are difficult during this time because you are caught in a conflict between caution and optimism. Whenever one attitude gets the upper hand in your mind, the other comes along and undermines it. Often it seems very difficult to know whether to expand or retrench. This problem will be especially bad if you have overextended yourself in the past and had to cut back. This creates a lack of self- confidence, which may surface now.

You may also experience a conflict at this time between the desire for greater freedom and opportunity and the desire to hold on to the safe and predictable circumstances that you are used to. Often the temptation is to break away from everything and start over without the weight of the past holding you back, so you think. The restlessness resulting from this conflict can cause you to make many significant changes in your life, especially about your career. Relationships are also frequently difficult, especially those that involve much responsibility. Casual relationships and friendships are less likely to suffer.

However, if you are basically satisfied with your life and you don’t feel that your duties and obligations are onerous, you should experience the positive side of this influence, which is actually quite considerable. This is a time when you can expand the structures in your life to include much more than ever before. For example, you could safely expand a business, because your cautiousness during this time will probably prevent you from overextending yourself. Or you could take on more responsibilities, which would make your work more satisfying.

Saturn square Ascendant: Appropriate relationships

4 September 2008 until 20 September 2008:

This influence signifies a time of severe testing in your relationships with others. The demands of your work or the demands of your personal life will force you to reevaluate which relationships in your life are worth keeping and which are not. If you do not face this challenge consciously, the pressure of events will force you to do so, because people who have been with you for a long time will leave against your wishes.

There is often a strong tendency to build a wall between you and others without even realizing it. The only way you will know is that suddenly you will feel alone and out of touch with everybody. You may feel that you have no support from others, even loved ones whom you have counted on in the past for love and support. This may represent a temporary state of affairs or a passing mood. Or it may represent a serious breakdown in your relationships because of misplaced priorities in the past or because of associating with people who were wrong for you in terms of your personal goals and needs.

In the case of misplaced priorities, perhaps you have paid more attention to getting ahead in life than to giving and receiving love. Or perhaps in the past, fear of your own inadequacies or fear that you are unlovable has made you withdraw from others. Now the consequences of these problems are emerging, causing you to feel alone.

In the second case, the problem is that in terms of your direction in life, the people you associate with are a distraction or are actually opposed to your interests. In this case, no matter how much you love them, walls will form between you and them, and you will have to begin a new life without them.

With this influence several significant relationships will inevitably end. But if you have a clear idea of where you are going, this will not be a great disadvantage. Whatever remorse you feel will be quickly displaced by a new sense of freedom, because you are no longer wasting energy in trying to maintain inappropriate relationships.

Saturn sextile Saturn: Limited warranty

End of October 2008 until beginning of August 2009:

This is a time of equilibrium and balance in your life, because now you have a pretty good idea of how to handle your own world. Events will run along more or less easily during this time. But it is important to note that it will not necessarily be an especially happy or peaceful time. Our lives are directed by our own demands much more than we realize, but very often those demands are unconscious. We would often be horrified if we knew what we are really trying to do. We try to protect ourselves and what we feel belongs to us from “threats” that often are not real threats according to adult criteria. Yet we structure our world according to them. This influence only guarantees that you will be successful in patterning your world. If you are very unhappy at this time, you had best get in touch with what you are really doing.

This can be a time when you are successfully approaching your main conscious goals in life. Or it can be a time when you are being run largely by unconscious “programs,” as if you were a computer. Usually you will experience a little of both of these effects. However, in the long run the positive possibilities are more useful to know about. Concerning the negative side of this influence, suffice it to say that the difficult and unsatisfactory aspects of your life that you are experiencing now require you to look into yourself more closely.

At this time you are particularly good at working with other people. You are able to see your individuality and differentness in a way that makes it possible for you to work with others in a complementary way so that neither you nor they feel competitive. You can work just as well with people who are above you and with those at your own level.

You approach your own goals methodically and practically, for you are not particularly idealistic at this point. You are much more concerned about how to achieve what you want in concrete practical terms. Use this time well, for it gives you the opportunity to lay a foundation that will protect you in the future.

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

Saturn square MC: An evaluation of goals

Beginning of November 2007 until beginning of August 2008:

This is a challenging time in your life. You will have to make many choices about what areas of your life to emphasize. Will you work to build up a new career or continue to build upon a current one? Will you work to make your personal life as satisfying as possible? Will you work collectively with many other people or by yourself?

Often there is an “alienation crisis” with this influence, a sudden feeling of being cut off from everyone else, as if you have spent too much energy pursuing purely personal goals. This in turn generates loneliness and a feeling of being distant from others, even loved ones. Or you may suddenly feel that you no longer have the strength to go on in the direction you have chosen. Fears of your own inadequacies may distort your perspective. All of this is most likely to happen if you have neglected personal relationships in your life. You cannot go on forever without supportive emotional relationships, and you may have been trying to do so.

Sometimes this influence can have the opposite result, and you discover that various personal entanglements have been interfering with the pursuit of your valid goals. In this case you will break off relationships and gain the freedom to go your own way. The issue here is the balance between personal relationships and advancement in life.

On another tack, this period can test your choice of goals. You may encounter opposition from others that forces you to examine whether your goals are really valid for you. If they are, the conflict with other persons or against trying circumstances will be useful. But if you find that your heart is not really in the path you have chosen, you may have to make adjustments and change your course of action. It is far better to do this now than several years from now, when you may be overcommitted to an inappropriate course and discover that you are trapped. Now is the time to change. It may not be pleasant, but it is possible.

Jupiter sextile Uranus: A favorable change

Mid February 2008 until mid October 2008:

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.

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.

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.

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:

Saturn square Sun: Patience and perseverance

Beginning of October 2008 until mid July 2009:

Tomorrow we will look at Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Greg Biffle.

NASCAR 2008 Astro-Predictions ~ Michigan International Speedway

Here are the some of the other driver’s scope’s who have pertinent aspect’s for this weekend’s race at MIS.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

This is a very lighthearted time, when you should be able to relax and enjoy yourself with friends and loved ones. You will enjoy being with groups of people, and you will wish to express your feelings of affection. Your favor will extend even to the point you will want to share it with everyone. This is also a good time to go out and meet people. You will not have the fear and shyness that may sometimes make it difficult for you to encounter new people, nor will you need to worry about making a bad impression on the people you meet. This influence helps to ensure you will make a favorable impression upon everyone. If you usually enjoy being the life of the party, you will certainly have the chance to play this role now.
Your Sun has moved into your house of FAME. At this time it is usually best to work and cooperate with other people. At other times you have found it necessary to be alone in order to find out who you are and the chief purposes of your life. Now you must ask these same questions in conjunction with others. Engaging in group efforts and projects in your personal and professional life will be the most effective way to accomplish this aim. Socialize extensively and study the people you associate with, for they are a reflection of yourself. What is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part. Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Without becoming domineering, you should let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can fit into the group dynamic without violating your integrity.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Sun Opposition Venus

This influence brings all relationships into focus. Usually it is a rather easy and pleasant time, but it can release the hidden tensions in your relationships and force them out into the open where you will have to deal with them. This influence signifies that you will encounter yourself through your different relationships. The good ones will remain good, but the bad ones may become unstable and difficult. If you study your reactions and your handling of these situations, you should learn a great deal about yourself. In particular you may notice that you don’t want to be alone and that you cannot operate without a close relationship with a lover, a friend or even someone whom you consult about a problem. You should not try to go it alone today.

Moon Sextile Mercury

This morning this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Moon Square Ascendant

Certainly, this morning 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.
Also, today during the day 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.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Moon Trine Saturn

This morning 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.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
This morning your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. 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.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Venus Square Venus
Although this is normally a pleasant influence, producing good times and pleasant leisure, under some circumstances it can be a period of testing to see if relationships are on a sound footing. The test may consist of situations that will determine your ability to maintain your individuality within your important relationships. This influence produces a tendency to compromise rather than to stand up for your beliefs and rights. Someone may take advantage of your good nature at this time, which is not a tremendous danger, but something to keep in mind when dealing with people today. At this time your energies are rather low, not so that you feel sick, but so that you feel like doing nothing. Your work may not be done carefully because your heart is not really in it.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Tonight you are inclined to keep your feelings and innermost thoughts to yourself. A sense of loneliness or isolation frequently accompanies this period of time, or depression and a general sense of pessimism. Domestic problems may also accompany this influence, usually because you feel that in some way your domestic life is not giving you what it should. This is part of a larger feeling that you are not getting support or assistance from anyone or anything, which may or may not be true. Your real problem is either that you are cut off from your emotions or that your emotions are too unpleasant to deal with. This influence may force you to briefly experience what you consider to be your negative side. Thus there is a strong conflict between what you think of yourself and what you think you should be.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Mars Sextile Ascendant
This is an excellent time for working with others in a team effort, as long as you are a leader within the team or are given a lot of independent initiative. It is also important that the people you work with are energetic and can do their share of the work. You would be very impatient with anyone who is slower or less energetic than yourself. With respect to your immediate environment, you are likely to feel more self-assertive than usual. This can be a good time for telling people how you feel about anything, for you are not willing to let others get away with intruding on your rights. Usually the energy of this influence is mellow enough that you can make yourself clear without causing a fight. In fact, people will probably respect you for your honesty.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Mars Opposition Moon
During this time you may find your own inward unconscious drives mirrored in someone else’s actions. Usually this occurs as a conflict in which the other person acts very irrationally and compulsively in ways that are detrimental to you goals. Look at this person very carefully. Although it may seem quite magical, he or she is really reflecting your own inward ego problems. The other person is yourself! This is because you tend to project your inner attitudes onto the other person, rather than experiencing the other person directly as he or she really is. Unpleasant as it may be to deal with someone who is being difficult, you may learn a great deal about yourself in the process.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Moon Square Moon
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.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Moon in the 10th House
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.

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967
Moon Sextile Uranus
Today during the day this influence gives you a pleasant feeling of restlessness, a desire for excitement but not to the point of disruption. You may feel like shaking up the people around you and jolting them out of their seeming lethargy. Or if you are not conscious of this desire in yourself, you may attract someone who shakes you up. Under any circumstances you want to be with exciting and stimulating companions. In your home and other close surroundings you are not willing to accept the same old situation. You may try to find ways to change your circumstances or at least provide some temporary excitement. It is possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend today, or an old friend will come back into your life unexpectedly. Friends may provide opportunities for advancement or for getting away from your usual scene for awhile.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
Moon Sextile Sun
Tonight you experience a time of inner and outer equanimity. You can stop and take stock of yourself without feeling completely caught up in the usual turmoil and rush of events. Even if your affairs are not going too smoothly, this influence will provide a breathing space. If you have been feeling harried, you now have at least a brief opportunity to take it easy. And if you are relaxed, you will feel even better now. Your relationships with groups and friends are quite good during this time. You are able to understand other people’s needs without losing sight of your own desires for fulfillment. Opportunities may arise from unexpected corners that will improve your life in small ways at least. In general you will benefit from being out in the world today and having as much contact with others as possible.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Pluto Square Chiron
This critical influence could awaken considerably conflicting emotions within you. You might have an increasing urge to finally tell someone straight to their face what you think of them, while at the same time being ashamed of having such hurtful and spiteful feelings. Others will possibly have difficulty coping with you at the present time, so that you are more reliant than usual on their patience and understanding. The best thing you can do now is to be compassionate with yourself. Your inner unrest is an unmistakable sign that something is coming to light which has long been causing havoc in the depths of your unconscious. Most people bury the emotional pain resulting from rejection, embarrassment or experiences of ridicule and abandonment deep within their psyche, without ever venting the rage and hate which accompany it.

Problems with colleagues or rows within the family could trigger powerful emotions which no longer stand in relation to the outer events. If you now have to cope more often with feelings of rage and aggression, this is probably because you are stronger and more able to deal with such emotions and the reactions they cause in others. Just admit to having such unpleasant feelings! Only then will you become increasingly able to react to situations in a more appropriate way, and not to punish people for things which they are not responsible for. Rage is a completely natural emotion which protects us, often arising in situations in which we suffer injustice. If your upbringing has made you incapable of expressing such feelings, you will continue to feel helpless, used, guilty and at the mercy of others, denying yourself the chance to fight back.

We shall see. MIS may promise to be very interesting. Until then…

Tally Ho!!

NASCAR ~ Dover Astro-Predictions

It’s so great to be back!! Let’s see how my predictions compare to the “real” stat pro’s.

Trouble in Turn 2′s oh so wise Mike, is leaning toward Big Baby Busch, my beloved (?) little Alien. After taking a look at the ‘scope’s, I think Schrub best be watching out for his big brother, because Kurt’s aspect’s are looking good this weekend. He’s hungry.

On Pit Row’s Charlie Turner is looking at David Ragan, or Travis Kvapil, as the next first timer.

Bill Marx, in his post Top 5 and 5 to watch: Dover, says watch Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, and Matt Kenseth.

Dustin Long has some interesting stats in his post “Who will be NASCAR’s missling link” (missling ~ his typo, not our official prayer language, typoneese ).

I say…maybe.

Here are the ‘scopes for the Driver’s with the most pertinent aspects for Dover:

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977 **Ryan has three wins, six top-five and eight top-10 finishes in 12 NASCAR Cup Series starts at the one-mile concrete oval.
Theme: A self-assertive mood

This is an excellent time for accomplishing all kinds of work. Your energy is high, and you have faith in your ability to achieve. Usually your health is quite good now, and this influence is extremely favorable for all kinds of physical activity. You are in a self-assertive mood today. If you have to fight with someone to maintain your position in any matter, you will be able to do it effectively. You are not inclined to back down, although you will seek out a common ground where the two of you can agree, if there is any.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Mars in the 6th House (Major Aspect change)
activity period from 1 June 2008 until middle of August 2008

Theme: Plenty of work
Valid during several months: At this time you will throw your ego energies into working hard and getting things done. Now you are much more able to defer tomorrow’s pleasure for today’s work. In fact you are likely to take considerable pride in how much work you can do during this time. So the best way to handle this energy is to find plenty of work and do it. You may not want to work for someone else; instead, you want the credit for your accomplishments yourself, so that you are identified with what you do. This can lead to conflicts with your superiors and general difficulty in your work situation. Even if you are the employer, there may be difficulty if the people who work for you feel that you are not giving them enough credit. The best solution is to maneuver yourself into a position where you don’t have to work with or for others any more than necessary.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Theme: Springboard
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.
On the other hand, your Moon has a weak transient effect moving through Mars today which could add some excitement. 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.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Moon in the 6th House
Theme: On the line
This is a time when you are inclined to put emotional considerations second to the immediate necessities, as you see them, in your life. Emotional repression of one kind or another is a probable consequence of this influence. But if you do react with emotional repression, you may become hypercritical, which is really the expression of a repressed feeling, usually of resentment toward someone. Another negative expression of this influence is the “martyr game”, a tactic of pretending that something is all right with you while subtly signaling that it is not and possibly trying to make others feel guilty for their behavior. Often this is done quite unconsciously. It is much better to put your feelings on the line, even if they don’t seem to fit the situation.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Moon Opposition Uranus
activity period from 1 June 2008 to 2 June 2008
Theme: Stormy weather
Tonight you will have to be quite careful, because you are emotionally excitable and impulsive. In your contacts with others you will seek excitement and stimulation, and thus you may attract people who are quite different from your usual crowd. You may even be quite upset by these new people, but you should realize that they are filling a real need in your life now. Or you may act disruptively in your current relationships. It is not exactly that you are trying to start a fight, but in talking with someone you may stir up feelings that cause a fight to begin unintentionally. Consequently this can be a stormy period in relationships. If anyone tries to restrict you, your reaction will be very negative, even if the restrictions are in your best interests.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Mercury Square Sun ( Major Aspect change)
activity period until beginning of July 2008
Theme: Mental activity
Valid during several weeks: This influence indicates a day of busy mental activity and many communications with others.
Be especially careful not to speak or otherwise communicate from purely egotistic motives. Make your point and let it go at that, because chances are your statement will have enough energy to be effective without making a controversy of it. If you do turn it into a controversy, you will encounter opposition from people who are similarly inclined, and communication will grind to a halt. Do not try to defend any ideas that are clearly shown to be invalid.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Mars Square Uranus
Theme: Revolt!
During this time authority figures and close relationships, especially old ones from the past, are most likely the objects of your revolt, if you feel it necessary to rebel. You will be much more easily angered than usual, because you quickly interpret everything as a threat to your ego. Above all else, you feel that you must assert your ego in your own highly individual way. And if you have been unconscious of the need for creative change in your life, you are likely to be quite explosive. Sometimes, however, the “explosions” happen to you, which is a sign from your environment that you need to break away from something, although what that is may not be at all obvious. An accident can be the sign of frustrated ego energies transmuted into destructive powers.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Theme:Showing off
Usually this influence makes you feel very social. You enjoy being with your friends and neighbors, talking and exchanging news with them. You may feel a little like showing off, which cannot do any harm in moderation. The old line that “No man is an island” has real meaning for you today. If nothing else, you need others to “show off” to, and you need not fear that showing off will alienate people. Unless you are an insufferable braggart to begin with, it will not have that effect at all.
**LOL. I swear… I do not just make this stuff up!

That’s enough for this evening. Tomorrow we will take a look at Dale Jr., Jeff Gordon and a few others. Until then:

Tally Ho!!

NASCAR ~ Countdown to Daytona

10-9-8…just a few more weeks. I will have full time Internet access again in town (**My lifestyle is getting in the way of our Sacred NASCAR, and we can not have that now can we?), by my birthday, and I will begin publishing the 2008 Astro-Predictions. The aspects for 2008 are intriguing. Lots of change and challenges for the sport all the way around. There are some driver’s that have really outstanding aspects and others that have rotten ones. It’s going to be a pretty black and white year, I think. ** Hint: Watch out for that Rocketman!

Winter update: We have 4 feet of snow, so getting in and out of our place is a bit challenging right now. Other than that, everything is great, and quite beautiful. Living in the primitive manner that we do in our cabin, has proved to be quite the adventure. Good fodder for On a Quest. I miss you all. My 50th birthday is Jan. 29th, so wish me well…I have now lived, (unless I live to be over 100) over half my life. My kids and Grandkids say I will be officially old then. I say: Never!! I will never be old, even when I am 90. I don’t agree with old addage, “You are only as old as you feel.” “You are only as old as you think”, Say’s I.

I hope you all are having a great start to 2008 and here’s to looking forward to the 2008 season!

Tally Ho! Onward!!

NASCAR ~ The Real Chase begins ~ Speed Control and the Fontana Curse

Congrats to Jimmie Johnson on winning Richmond and leading the pack into The Chase.

The Chase has begun and I must admit that I am really sorry that Jr. didn’t make it. Ryan too. But life goes on and there is always 2008, which promises to be more exciting than what 2007 has been, as far as racing itself is concerned. 2007 has been pretty boring for me. The main “excitement” has been controversy, sensationalism and posturing, not good old fashioned “get out there and kick some butt racing. Yes, there have been a few moments of excitement, mostly due to Juan Pablo Montoya, a few good finishes, but for me the season has been mostly mundane.

Hopefully the actual Chase will be different.

** Actual speed limit sign in Whitney, OR. Photo Credit: Me**

As for the last two weeks in my life:

I once again did the Scope’s for both Cali and Richmond, knowing we wouldn’t be home…and once again saved them as drafts instead of publishing them. To my astonishment, I get home, look at my blog and no posts. Duh.

I won tickets to Fontana from the Kodak Contest that our fav Canuck hosted at his NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog. A couple of cow things came up and it looked as if we were not going to be able to go. With disaster narrowly averted, we set out for lovely Southern California. We get to Southern Oregon, not quite to the California Border. Now mind you, the last few Cali trips have been disasters so I am feeling a bit apprehensive. Dale is already mad at me for going into one of my “I don’t wanna fly… govenment agents might try to get me for slamming Senator Larry Gag, or Mexican Mafia might decide to shoot down the plane we are on because the cops just busted a huge pot farm in our canyon…yada, yada, yada…” Flight gets cancelled and we drive, against Dale’s looming sense that he is married to a LUNATIC.

My spiffy high tech, automatic speed control alarm, which is implanted in my body, is going off every 5 minutes because Dale hits 66 mph.

“EH! EH! EH! 66!! ^*!! Watch your speed! Getting a speeding ticket is like throwing a hundred dollar bill out the window to see where it blows!”

The speedometer drops 1 MPH.

“EH!! EH!! EH!! 68!!”

Dale gives me a look I know well. It’s the look that comes just prior to him turning into Satan’s Spawn.

I close my eyes and tell myself to stop it, everything is o.k., and he’s a good driver. I try again to tell myself that, until I open my eyes and see the speedometer at 85 mph and he’s looking at something off the back of his shoulder with a curve coming up in front of us.

“EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” I am slamming on the invisible brake that is on my side of the floor board.

I then bring myself back out of the denial I have been trying to keep myself in for the last few minutes. Dale is not a good driver. He drives way too fast, is inattentive and has been in several accidents because of it. I never had, nor do I at any time now, have an anxiety issue while riding in a car, with anyone else other Dale. (Except two of my four daughter’s, who are also really fast, bad drivers. I won’t ride with them at all. Not even two blocks.)

He hits the brakes, as I have startled him out of whatever deep thought was going on in his mind. I see that Satan’s Spawn has now arrived.

“You are going to kill us scaring me like that!” he says.

I say, “Well, if you were paying attention to what you were doing, I wouldn’t have to have the auto alarm!”

Fire begins to flare out of Satan’s Spawn’s nose. His eye’s turn reptilian looking. Blood begins to drip from his ear’s as the pressure in his brain increases.

“I may be in deep doo-doo”, I think to myself.

The truck stops. Satan’s Spawn is in full blown mode now. The truck turns itself around and heads back the way we came at 25 mph.

“What are you doing?” I ~~innocently~~ ask the Man-Child of Satan.

“I am going mining.” He boldly states.

“Ha-ha.” I say.

The lizard-like eyes glare at me. The truck continues it’s forward trek at 25 mph.

” I figure that if we drive 25 mph back to the mine, we will get there about the same time we would get to Fontana if we were driving 85 or 90 and I don’t have to listen to the incessent EH! EH! EH! all the way there.”

I am stunned. “He’s kidding”. “He’s just having a temper tantrum because I am right about his driving skills, and soon Jesus will exorcise Satan’s Spawn from my Beloved and we will be on our way.”

A totally wordless-from-him hour later, I know he wasn’t kidding. We are not on our way to Fontana. We are on our way to John Day, OR. At 25 mph.

We had planned on going to the mine on our way back from Fontana and spending a week there. I knew we would be gone until last night.

I just planned to be somewhere else the first week.

I ended up Labor Day weekend in the middle of nowhere, with no phone or electricity, or internet…or second car to run away to NASCAR Sanity Land, otherwise known as the lone bar in Prairie City, OR… Not knowing who won the race in California.

Stayed in nowhere land until yesterday afternoon. A prisoner aginst my will, held captive by Satan’s Spawn.

I have decided the the Labor Day Race in Fontana is not meant for us to go to again. Spring? Maybe. Fall? Never again.

And now you know the rest of the story. Satan’s Spawn has been exorcised. The auto-speed indicator is still in place. We have to drive to Boise this evening, for Doc appt.’s in the morning.

Keep me in your prayers:)

NASCAR ~ Bristol Astro-Predictions -Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman

I am doing my scope’s a little different for today because…I can if I want. I am also checking out a potential really naughty blog thief, ultra splogger/scraper/creative thief who cannot come up with unique ideas out of “it’s” own think tank, that has really ticked me off and possibly isn’t going to be as easy to get rid of. We will see. I spoke with a “Biggy” Copyright Attorney and he says the line has been way crossed if they continue to do it. We will see.. Letters of cease and desist have been sent. “Haley’s Sports Scopes”, my ass. “Sports Scopes: Michigan”, my ass.
And to add insult to injury, just think.: I have even done some PR shouts for these guys for the Gillette Young Guns Chats. Tsk…Tsk…I think Gillette Young Guns needs to find another forum. I know GYG had nothing to do with it ( They are awesome to work with – Luv ya Mav!!) and wouldn’t approve.
Someone thought they would present it as an original idea, and get paid for my idea. Great Honesty. Stealin’ from a “Church”. Almost word for word. Cute cartoon concept tho.

The Moon entered Aquarius today ( My sign by the way, genious, rebellion, peace, love and all that jazz…insanity…) so…
Generally speaking, the Moon represents the emotional atmosphere, the mood of the people or of a society. With the Moon ingress into a new zodiac sign this mood changes according to the qualities of this sign. Since the Moon only stays in a sign for 2 – 3 days, this collective mood is rather transient. With the ingress of a planet into a new sign, the general quality or expression of this planet changes on a collective level. In other words, the aspects that rule Aquarius rule us all at that time, beside the general aspects which flow through our oun Astrological charts.
Welcome to my world:)

Tony Stewart’s aspect’s are so good I am tempted not to do anyone else’s except Ryan Newman’s. Smoke’s day is perfect for another win at Bristol, and looking back at his past wins, he had a lot of the same aspect’s going on then. Nearly identical aspects in 2001.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971Saturn Square Sun
activity period from 17 August 2007 to 2 September 2007.
Valid during several days: 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.

Sun Square Jupiter
activity period from 24 August 2007 to 26 August 2007.
The difficulty with this influence is that it spurs you on to do more than you can handle, to involve yourself in projects that require more energy than you have or to extend yourself beyond your resources. But this same tendency can lift you to attempt and succeed at tasks you would not usually consider possible, especially if you have been acting rather conservatively. Similarly this influence can make you generous or extravagant, depending upon your previous attitudes. You can expect some difficulties with other people under this influence, but you should be able to handle them and even win them over to your side, unless you proceed from a position of arrogant self-righteousness. Be very careful to examine the other person’s point of view and try to find a common ground for cooperation between you.

Sun Square Neptune
activity period from 24 August 2007 to 26 August 2007
Today feelings of inadequacy or futility may tempt you to avoid direct confrontations with people and even to take more devious courses of action than usual. The responsibility for such tactics lies directly on your head, so don’t be surprised if they work against your best interests. It is possible that this influence will stimulate your innate idealism, which is by no means bad and could produce a beautiful moment in your life today. But it could also make you want to reach for unrealizable goals, which is particularly discouraging in view of the low energies you probably feel. Use your common sense even about ideals, and above all, deal with the real world as it is, not as you would like it to be. You can work to make it what you want, but don’t assume that it already is.

Moon Trine Saturn
active only on 25 August 2007
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.

Moon in the 6th House
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 27 August 2007
This is a time when you are inclined to put emotional considerations second to the immediate necessities, as you see them, in your life. Emotional repression of one kind or another is a probable consequence of this influence. But if you do react with emotional repression, you may become hypercritical, which is really the expression of a repressed feeling, usually of resentment toward someone. Another negative expression of this influence is the “martyr game”, a tactic of pretending that something is all right with you while subtly signaling that it is not and possibly trying to make others feel guilty for their behavior. Often this is done quite unconsciously. It is much better to put your feelings on the line, even if they don’t seem to fit the situation.

Moon Trine Pluto
active only on 25 August 2007
Today during the day your feelings and emotions are much more intense, but at the same time your sensitivity is stimulated. You feel everything much more powerfully than usual, and you are not likely to take your feelings or anyone else’s lightly. It puts you in a serious mood and makes you seek the most powerful and intimate encounters with another. Sexual relationships may be considerably enriched, because this influence enables you to get past the superficial levels of communication that may have been driving you and your loved one apart. In this way you can again feel as one. In general, life will call you to approach it with some passion and feeling. And if you can respond, it can be a very rich and rewarding experience in which you learn much about your feelings.

Moon Trine Sun
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 26 August 2007
Today during the day 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, even if you may not feel driven to accomplish a great deal of work.

Moon Sextile Neptune
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 26 August 2007.

This influence makes you very sensitive to other people’s moods, and if you are at all psychic you will be more sensitive in this regard as well. But with this sensitivity, you have to be careful about the people you are with. On the other hand, it is good to be with friends whom you are devoted to. This quality of time can signify selflessness and genuinely caring for others without regard for your own needs, and this is not done in a martyred spirit. You feel great sympathy and compassion for those who are in need, and are willing to help either personally or through working with a charitable group. This influence may also arouse your daydreaming tendencies. Tonight you may wish to be by yourself and retire into your own private inner world, or you may wish to talk about your daydreams with friends.

Moon Square Venus
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 26 August 2007.
Tonight you are under a very pleasant, light- feeling influence. You enjoy being with others and find all social contacts interesting. Most people feel very affectionate toward loved ones during this time, and there is a strong desire to support and protect those people who are important to you. But be careful not to act too possessive or to try to limit anyone’s freedom. If you behave in this manner, you will experience this influence discordantly and will have trouble with your loved ones. You may feel very sentimental under this influence, for it tends to reawaken memories of the past and causes you to feel very attached to them. Also you should beware of any tendency to overindulge in food or drink. Discipline is not one of the strong points of this influence.

Moon Sextile Jupiter
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 26 August 2007
Tonight you feel quite good, and you enjoy being with congenial people. Probably it would be best to be with old friends whom you know well and with whom you have already established strong emotional ties. But you will not be closed to new acquaintances. You make it clear to those around you that you are concerned for their welfare and that you will help them out if they ever need it. And the chances are that they feel the same way about you. This influence denotes a time when you and your friends support each other and feel that you belong together. This is a good time for any sort of group activity, because by working together you all will feel that it is a group effort from which everyone will benefit equally. And this is true.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Mars Sextile Mars
activity period from 23 August 2007 to 26 August 2007.
“Self-confidence” You will feel energetic and vigorous during this time. Your physical health will be quite good, and you should seek activities that will give this energy an outlet. Sitting around will not have any particular bad effects, but you would be wasting a valuable opportunity. You will probably enjoy whatever work you do because it makes you feel so alive. If you have to be personally effective in an activity, such as business or negotiations with others, you will be able to achieve the desired results now. This influence gives you the necessary self- confidence to influence others and make a positive impression. It is also favorable for traveling and expressing yourself through new experiences and new encounters. You are intellectually restless, and you want to do something different.

Sun Trine Chiron
activity period from 23 August 2007 to 26 August 2007.
There are wounds that do not heal with time. Instead they start hurting again given certain “weather conditions”. If this occurs, subconsciously we will withdraw into ourselves in interpersonal situations, or be oversensitive and react in a hurt manner without apparent reason – or we ourselves become particularly hurtful, without actually wanting to. However, if the weather is fair, as it is now, you have the opportunity to bring these painful things to light – preferably during a personal conversation with someone who is close to you. Looking into painful experiences in this way can make you freer in your behavior, your close relationships and your relation with your body. It can also prevent you from hurting others.

Moon Square Chiron
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 26 August 2007
At this time you have to deal with your own hurt feelings – either you are reminded of old wounds by some incident, or a sore point is disturbed again. Maybe you feel a little weak and are conscious of a certain aversion to handling the usual everyday interchanges – a feeling as if you were coming down with flu. If you now have the need to be alone, then that is what you should really do. If you make too many demands on yourself or if you are not left in peace, you may become hurtful to others – for example, your children if you are a parent – as a result of a certain indifference. Fortunately, this influence lasts at most half a day.

Moon in the 12th House
activity period from 25 August 2007 to 27 August 2007
At this time you may be tempted to withdraw and keep your feelings secret, especially if you are at all insecure about your inner self. Perhaps you, like many people, have always felt that if others really knew you, they wouldn’t like you. So you keep your entire emotional life secret. But whatever you hide from others, you will also hide from yourself. And whatever you hide from yourself can control you without your being aware of it. This is a time when your unconscious attitudes and fears can be very difficult. You need to communicate your deep inner feelings to another person, preferably someone you can trust. Probably you will not feel much like socializing now. And in fact it is a good time to be alone and face any aspect of yourself that you are reluctant to face. It is probably not really all that bad.

There you go. I feel there is probably no use posting any other scopes, but I will do a couple I guess:)
Tally Ho!
See ya in a minute.

NASCAR ~ Win a trip to California ~ The Kodak Contest

How would you like to win a trip and 5 pairs of tickets to the NASCAR Sharp AQUOS 500 race on September 2, 2007 at California Speedway? Hurry, then and run on over to our favorite Canadian’s house and read the rules closely.
I want to win real bad, even tho Labor Day weekend has not always brought me the best of luck:) 2 years ago, I fell off the top of our bus and hurt my back and got a little concussion. ( We did get stuck behind the gates with Robby Gordon tho) Last year, we had tickets and the day before we were leaving for California is when I shattered my ankle/leg pretending to be Robby Gordon in the Dakr rally in my wagon. But!! Maybe this year I will be luckier!
So…hurry over to The NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog and start sending off your entries.
Good Luck!
P.S. Thanks for giving me something to blog about B.

Watkins Glen lives up to Rock and Rollin’ History

Well, I must say I enjoyed Watkins Glen tremendously. Interesting ending tho…
The Hot and Spicy John Paul the Pope of Motorsports showed a bit of Latino Big Red attitude towards Mr Happy Harvick. The last few laps proved tense and exciting as I was fighting with my husband over who was going to win, Gordon or Stewart. Jeff Gordon spun himself out. Darn.
Denny Hamlin proved he can run a good road race. I thought Carl Edwards was really Kyle Busch in disguise and he was going to kill someone. But no, Kyle was a good boy, with a good finish. I better get used to being nicer to him if he is going to Gibbs. He does bring a heck of a lot of talent to the team, even if he is an ass. I guess ass is ok to say, as NASCAR.com reports that Kevin Harvick will not be penalized for saying it.No Penalties?? Please.Let’s look at fair and objective behaviors when we talk about penalties.
My fav road racers, except for Boris Said all got a top 10. Congrats to Robby Gordon, Ron Fellows and even Jeff Gordon for spinning out and still getting a 10′r.
The biggest surprise of the day? Greg Biffle. Great run.
Too bad for Jr. It’s o.k. He will pull out of this.
Congats of course to my driver, Tony Stewart for the win. They are only just beginning for him. Watch out for Newman to make that top 12 too. He will.
Onward to MIS!!

NASCAR ~ Astro- Predictions for Watkins Glen

Here are the driver’s with the most pertinent ‘scopes for tomorrows road race at ~~Sonoma~~, I mean Watkins Glen…Duh…(Thanks Becca, for letting me know I had landed on a dead brain cell again. Sometimes I stay there for days…) Remember that it is once again, New Moon, but at least not Moon Void of Course, as it has been during so many races this year. The New Moon sets the tone for the next month, for our hopes, dreams or fears,( which ever we focus on during it’s effects) to manifest. Terry Labonte has the best ‘scope of all.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Sun Square Med.Coeli
This influence usually signifies a day of great activity in several areas of your life. You feel a great need to exercise your will and to determine where you are going and what you are doing. Often this is a day of hard work in your profession. But you will be motivated by tasks that relate to your own personal objectives. Therefore this can also be a day of conflict with others, arising from what they consider your selfishness and excessive self-involvement. Or as you pursue your own goals you may come into conflict with another whose goals are not in harmony with yours. No matter which of these alternatives you encounter, this is a time for enlightened self-interest. But you must continually remember the people around you and be very careful not to alienate them any more than necessary.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Moon Square Uranus, Moon Trine Sun and Moon Conjunction Mars
Ryan’s scope is quite complicated during the race, however I think he will grab ahold of the negatives and turn them into a positive outcome.
This morning is not a good time to discuss any issues that are critical to you, because you will find it difficult to maintain your equilibrium and not fly off the handle. On the other hand, if someone challenges you unjustifiably, you certainly won’t back down without a fight. The main problem is that your sense of perspective may be so distorted that you cannot tell the important issues from the trivial ones and will defend both with equal vigor. There is also the risk that you will act hastily on many matters, impulsively and without foresight or planning. All you seem to care about is exercising your will and getting your own way. Obviously with this influence, you must try to calm down and be willing to compromise on any issue that is not really central to you.
This morning 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.
Ryan’s Moon Trine Sun gives him the ability to overcome and make the best of the aggression and anxiety he is feeling:
This is a favorable time for all kinds of mental work and communication with others. Now you are able to state your case forcefully before others if you have to. Any mental work requiring a broad overview of the situation is favored. This is also a favorable time for all kinds of group discussions and negotiations, at least from your point of view. Any kind of business negotiation will work out well because you can spell out all the requirements in detail. This is a good day for organizing yourself, another person or a group, again because of the clear-headedness indicated by this influence which will help you balance your own individual ego needs with those of others. They will feel that you are giving them a fair shake.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Moon Opposition Mars:
Today during the day 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. Relations with women may be especially difficult.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Jimmie’s scope enters some very good aspects tomorrow. He has a long term aspect, Neptune Trine Mercury, active until mid Nov. The other aspect’s in effect for the race are all trines and sextiles, so his chart could not be better. Chad’s on the other hand, is horrid. I hope we don’t see any more creative engineering issues. If we don’t, then Jimmie should do excellent tomorrow. He has the chart to win, if Chad’s aspect’s don’t mess him up.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Sun Sextile Mars
This is an excellent time for accomplishing all kinds of work. Your energy is high, and you have faith in your ability to achieve. Usually your health is quite good now, and this influence is extremely favorable for all kinds of physical activity. In fact it would be very bad not to be physically active, because these energies must have an outlet. If they do not, they can cause problems even when they are basically positive. Nevertheless you are in a self-assertive mood today. If you have to fight with someone to maintain your position in any matter, you will be able to do it effectively. You are not inclined to back down, although you will seek out a common ground where the two of you can agree, if there is any. Today, you should have no difficulty keeping amused, because your mind is sharp, alive and ready for all kinds of experiences. Even in the ordinary, everyday aspects of your world you see the possibilities for new knowledge and understanding. Quite frequently this influence indicates one of those days when the telephone never seems to stop ringing. It seems as if everyone wants to get in touch with you, and you have to contact many people too. Important communications from others may very well come by mail, telephone or personal conversation. And you will speak your mind with everyone. It is very important with this influence to let people know exactly where you stand on every issue. Your honesty and forthrightness in what you say will command the respect of others.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
This is an excellent influence for good times, entertaining and just having fun. Before you plan any hard work for this period, keep in mind that you are likely to put self-gratification and pleasure before work. You may find it difficult to put off something that you want to do in order to fulfill some duty. But this in not selfishness on your part, for you are quite capable of being generous and giving to others. You are more openly affectionate than usual and feel real love for the people around you. It is just that this aspect of your life – love, affection and pleasure – is more important to you now than work. This is a good time to give or attend a party. It is also a good time to be with loved ones, not only a lover or partner but also children, from whom you will derive much pleasure now. Tonight 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. Tonight this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
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. This influence signifies a great opportunity to know yourself through your relationship with and effect upon your environment. You are highly disciplined and able to channel all your energies toward any objective you wish to attain. There is a close relationship between who you are and what you do. So take this opportunity to examine your life and the structures you have built into it. Today you can organize and make an overall plan for the way you would like to order your affairs and then arrange them accordingly. Because you work very thoroughly and meticulously under this influence, your efforts will achieve lasting results. This is also a good time to undertake any intellectual discipline or technique that requires concentration and attention to detail. Today during the day this influence gives you a pleasant feeling of restlessness, a desire for excitement but not to the point of disruption. You may feel like shaking up the people around you and jolting them out of their seeming lethargy. Or if you are not conscious of this desire in yourself, you may attract someone who shakes you up. Under any circumstances you want to be with exciting and stimulating companions. In your home and other close surroundings you are not willing to accept the same old situation. You may try to find ways to change your circumstances or at least provide some temporary excitement. It is possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend today, or an old friend will come back into your life unexpectedly. Friends may provide opportunities for advancement or for getting away from your usual scene for awhile.

Boris Said, born 18 September 1962
I am so ticked he was sent home. That rule needs to be changed, and pronto.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
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.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
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 your employer, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. Loved ones and partners are much more important to you than usual, for they provide you with a feeling of security and support. And to be fair, you have the same interest in proving these elements for your loved ones. But if 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 men, both positive and negative, are likely to be more intense that those with women.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Tonight you desire experience at a very profound level and do not like superficial encounters. With friends and loved ones you seek the true meaning of your feelings for each other. Under this influence, deep-rooted feelings in a relationship are often brought to the surface. This has a therapeutic effect on most relationships, for it releases hidden energies that may be weakening the ties between you. During this time you should be careful not to set an objective for yourself and then become so obsessed by it that you lose track of everything else. Even this rather mild influence can result in a one-track mind and compulsive behavior. If this happens, it is a sign that hidden in this compulsion is a psychological energy that you should try to understand, because it could control some part of your life.
During this time there is tension in your life, but it can be used creatively if you are conscious of what you are doing. If you are not, this influence can signify a time of conflicts, especially with those closest to you, such as your partner and others whom you must cooperate with. Even your intimate, positive relationships may suffer at this time. The problem is that you will find it difficult to give in and compromise as necessary to proper cooperation. In any close relationship, there is often too much compromise, so that the real complaints and grievances are not aired, which in the long run tends to weaken even a fine relationship. Now is the time when these repressed grievances can be brought out into the open, which should result in a real clearing of the air between you. Tonight this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Be careful how you talk to others today. Your energy level is very high, and you tend to identify your ego very closely with your ideas and opinions, so that you are quick to take offense. You have great capacity for mental effort today, but if any obstacle gets in the way of your energies, you will quickly become angry and irritable. And you are not likely to keep your irritation to yourself. There is considerable danger of arguments and disputes, particularly at home or at work. When you look back at this later, you may realize that there was nothing to argue about except egos; no real issues were at stake. But if you have to fight for your beliefs, today is the day to do it. You are sufficiently strong to carry your point of view.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
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.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976
Certainly, tonight 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.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Tonight you are in touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them to others. You probably lack the psychological tension that usually drives people to talk about their feelings, but you can listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems now. The insight into your own feelings and the psychological equilibrium that you have now may enable you to offer effective help to others. This influence also signifies a state of balance between your feelings and your rational intellect. That is, you are able to think with great emotional sensitivity but still remain logical in your thought processes. Communications with women will be easy and quite favorable at this time, regardless of your own sex. And encounters with women may be quite informative in a positive way.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Valid during several weeks: This is an excellent time for all kinds of mental work. You are much more attentive to detail than usual and especially concerned about using the best techniques available. You want everything you do to be as perfect as possible, so you plan carefully and work out every detail in advance. This attitude toward doing something well will enable you to get along well with employers and with employees. It is a good time to sit down with either of these groups and talk over any problems that exist. One problem to be careful about is criticizing others. This influence may sharpen your critical ability, and while you are less concerned with your own ego needs, you may also be rather careless of other people’s ego needs. Even in the interest of what you consider to be “objective” truth, try not to trample on others’ feelings.

There you go. Remember, if there are things you want to manifest in your life, focus and dream about them during the New Moon. It’s the time to start “gettin ‘er done.”

Onward to Watkins Glen, home of the most historical rock concert ever, besides Woodstock. Those were the days…

NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for Chicago

Here are the driver’s with the most pertinent ‘scopes for the Chicago race:

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Today during the day this influence brings about pleasant feelings between you and everyone around you. It is a good time for being with friends or out having a good time. You enjoy everyone around you and they enjoy you. Similarly you will enjoy good food and drink now, try not to overindulge. During this time you will tend to take things into yourself, so it is easy to rejoice about everything in your life. You need beautiful surroundings, and you have worked to get them. This is a good time for love relationships.
This is a time when your efforts to liberate yourself from unnecessary and inhibiting restrictions start to succeed. Your life may take a new tack that represents a radically new direction for you. If you are prepared and have consciously tried to bring about this situation, this will be a very good time, for you will be able to act with more freedom and self-determination. But you can expect considerable resistance from others, and it will not be easy. Keep working, for your efforts to expand and liberate your life are not finished.
With the ingress of Venus into your sign,sign the general quality of relationships and dealing with others changes according to the new sign. This also affects the way people approach each other and how they enjoy themselves. Art and culture take on a new colouring. On another level, the general ways of dealing with finances, values and resources tend to take on a different quality.
Since Venus belongs to the so-called personal planets with a relatively short period of revolution around the Sun, these general trends may not be perceived as very obvious.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

Today during the day you should have a very strong sense of well-being. Your inner self is functioning harmoniously, and you do not feel emotional turmoil or strife. At the same time you are most contented with the familiar elements of your life. You enjoy being at home with relatives and friends, and you like being surrounded by the objects you are used to. You are not in the mood for adventures, challenges and major changes, nor is it necessary to be so. There will be other times for adventure. Now you should restore and rejuvenate yourself in peace and quiet. Physical comfort is especially important to you at this time, but it doesn’t have to be lavish. Your need is for a comfortable environment that seems supportive. You want to be surrounded by whatever you feel protects you.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980

Today you may have to encounter and even oppose powerful pressures and forces exerted upon you, both from without and from within. The way you live and exert your energies will be tested today, perhaps forcing you to make radical changes in the areas of your life that you find are not working very well. The best way to use this influence is to let go of old patterns of behavior that today’s events demonstrate to be invalid. Holding on to them will only make your life more difficult, and if you give them up, you will have room for the positive creative changes that can take place now. Also you may have to contend with the breakdown of machines or situations. Anything that tends not to function very smoothly will work very poorly today. It is time to straighten out the situation or fix up the mechanical problem.

Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959

Mark’s Venus is Trine Saturn starting on Friday and is in effect until early Oct.:
You are satisfied with reliable, stable relationships at this time and do not make unrealistic demands on others. You recognize that your loved ones are human, and you ask only that they live up to their obligations and you will do the same in return. This is a good time to discuss any problems that may have arisen with a relationship, because your sense of reality is strong and you can be objective. Relationships that begin under this influence are characterized by sobriety and stability. They may not be demonstrative, but there is a steadiness of feeling that enables them to survive when others fail. Often such a relationship occurs because of practical rather than romantic considerations, but this does not weaken it.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

This is probably the most agreeable influence of all in its effect upon your mood and in the way it makes your life work. It is extremely good for all types of relationships, whether professional, personal, social or intimate. You feel optimistic, eager and outgoing, warm and friendly to everyone you meet. This time is also lucky financially. You may have a sudden windfall, although this is not the usual manifestation. You are inclined to indulge yourself and to spend money, especially on lavish or beautiful objects. In many respects, self-discipline is at an all-time low at this time, but it usually is not needed. Celebrations held at this time are unusually successful, for you at least, as is any kind of entertaining or social occasion. This will be due partly to your infectious good mood.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976

Venus Trine Chiron went in to Jamie’s ‘scope on July 13 and is in effect until the end of Oct. Last weeks win at Daytona is a fine example of how strong and lucky this influence is. It was just coming in…See what happened already? He came back to win by a hair after being black flagged, and the influence was just starting to throw it’s light upon him:

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

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

This morning 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.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Mars in the 2nd House in effect until the end of Aug.

At this time you are inclined to identify your ego with what you own and what you value. You may consider your financial position to be a sign of your personal worth. If you have money, you feel that you are a good person. If you don’t, you feel bad and discouraged, quite aside from anything you have accomplished. You act as if you are what you have. You may become overly touchy about your beliefs, opinions and desires in some area and get into arguments about their merit or worth. On the other hand, you are willing to use your possessions to get work done. If you have something that can help you accomplish a task, you will use it. Once you have got over petty ego problems with your possessions, you will allow others to use what you have, so long as they acknowledge your willingness to share.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

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.
This morning your rational and logical mind is going to be strongly influenced by your moods, which could be either positive or negative, depending on other factors. For this reason it is not the best time to make a decision. But it is a good time to gather information that you can later base a decision on, especially information on how you really feel about some matter.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
This influence can signify a critical time in your communications with the people around you, particularly those with whom you are intimately involved. The danger is that your feelings and emotions will overwhelm your rational intellect, making your thinking so subjective that no one else will be able to relate to what you say. Nevertheless you have a strong need to communicate about your emotions. You should avoid dealing with controversy by changing your own views every time someone disagrees with them. You will tend now to change your views according to the prevailing wind, but this may result in compromising yourself if the people you have “agreed” with compare viewpoints. However, it is natural for your opinions to be in a state of flux at this time. Just be honest about admitting it. There could well be a very painful argument if you react in an unconsidered manner at this time. Without warning one word leads to another until you suddenly show yourself to be hard and hostile in order to cover up one of your own weaknesses. In this way you can hurt your partner, a friend, or someone else to whom you are close, so that you greatly reproach yourself afterwards. That is why it is important at this time to be careful during all interactions with people who are close to you. If you remain aware of your feelings and reactions during all personal contacts, you will certainly recognize the situation described above – before it occurs.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980

Today, there are practically no transits of the swift moving planets to your natal chart – perhaps a good opportunity to go back to the long- ranging influences still effective at the moment. Of course it would make just as much sense to look ahead in order to prepare for the next long-term transit.
If you have a secret wish or an intention that you have been wanting to carry out for a long time, this would be the right day for it – especially if you want to be free of all kinds of influences to do it. However, decisions taken of your own accord are not written in the stars; perhaps you just want to relax today and simply be yourself.
This is an excellent day for engaging in new activities and for making discoveries about yourself and the world around you. Your life now has an exciting quality that is not always present. Take advantage of this excitement to learn about yourself in ways that are not usually possible. Your heightened perception of your world will help you make changes with a complete understanding of how the various parts of your life are interrelated. This is a good influence for studying any discipline that can reveal new and stimulating aspects of the universe. It favors the study of science, technical disciplines, astrology or other branches of the the metaphysical and spiritual world. You want to broaden your understanding, and the more exciting your study, the more actively you will pursue it.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969

Today during the day you may experience a real conflict between feelings and reason, or you may have a very fruitful dialogue about the state of your soul, either internally or with another person. In the first instance, old habits, prejudices and childhood patterns of thought are very likely to take precedence over what you usually consider reasonable; obviously this is not a good time to enter into delicate negotiations or to engage in an important discussion.
Your mind will be very stimulated today. You are fascinated by every new phenomenon that you encounter and eager for more. If you are relatively flexible, this need for excitement means that you may get bored more easily than usual. If you are not flexible, this could be a very nerve-wrecking day, full of little surprises and upsets that overtax your nerves. The plans you have made for the day may not work out at all, and the more you are counting on precisely one set of conditions to be fulfilled, the more upsetting this influence will be. Either way, the day’s tempo will be brisk. Thoughts will flash through your head at such an amazing speed that it will be difficult to keep track of them. Perhaps you should keep a tape recorder handy in order to record your ideas before they disappear.

Jeremy Mayfield, born 27 May 1969

The positive side of this influence ( Sun Square Venus) is that you will feel quite loving and affectionate to almost everyone around you. There may even be a new love relationship. Or you may feel like doing creative work, perhaps arts or crafts. The negative side is that you may be inclined to seek self- gratification in excess, that is, in a total undisciplined manner, or you may seek it at the expense of a loved one. The problem is that you probably won’t feel like doing anything that requires much effort today, so perhaps you should wait until you are in a more active mood. Avoid spending money to gratify foolish whims or monetary desires. You may have regrets in more sober moments. Be careful also of a tendency toward passivity, sitting around and waiting for something to happen or for someone else to take the first step.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

During this time you will experience life with greater emotional intensity than usual. You will feel everything more strongly and deeply. You will want every experience that you encounter to touch your feelings, and they probably will. Your relationships will be more intense, and you will seek out those that allow you to experience yourself very vividly. Although this influence does not make you feel violently aggressive, you will not allow anyone to step on your toes. You make it very clear to others exactly where their limits are in dealing with you, and you will not let them transgress those limits. You are in a fighting spirit in the positive sense, in that you will stand up for what you believe but still be reasonably tolerant of other people’s ideas.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975

The difficulty with this influence, Sun Square Jupiter, is that it spurs you on to do more than you can handle, to involve yourself in projects that require more energy than you have or to extend yourself beyond your resources. But this same tendency can lift you to attempt and succeed at tasks you would not usually consider possible, especially if you have been acting rather conservatively. Similarly this influence can make you generous or extravagant, depending upon your previous attitudes. You can expect some difficulties with other people under this influence, but you should be able to handle them and even win them over to your side, unless you proceed from a position of arrogant self-righteousness. Be very careful to examine the other person’s point of view and try to find a common ground for cooperation between you.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

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, even if you may not feel driven to accomplish a great deal of work.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. This morning you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won’t have to contend with “harsh behavior,” because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give – kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
( By the way…After his comments this past week, I get to call him “Big Baby Busch” again.)

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. Today during the day you will feel much more emotional than usual. This, of course, can be either good or bad, depending upon how you normally relate to you emotions. If you are ill at ease with your feelings, you will not consciously be aware of them. But you will relate to people in automatic ways, conditioned by habit. You will respond unconsciously to small cues put out by other persons that neither you nor they are aware of. The problem here is that you are unable to see each new moment and person afresh. On the other hand, if you can handle the emotions that are aroused, you will be able to relate to others with great feeling and empathy. This influence is excellent for occasions when you and another person must relate at a very deep, intense level.

Michael Waltrip, born 30 April 1963

During this time you should avoid rash and impulsive actions, for they will alienate others, create enemies and in the long run undermine your own interests. Your ego energies run rather high now, but in such a way that you are likely to assert yourself inappropriately. You may issue completely unnecessary challenges to the people around you. Most frequently you express this feeling as irritability, excessive impatience with others’ actions, argumentativeness and general touchiness. This is a good time for getting work done, if you can control your impulsive behavior. Any task that requires sheer physical energy with little finesse or attention to detail is excellent, because it allows you to work off energy without suppressing the natural impulsiveness and exuberance of this influence.

Bobby Labonte, born 8 May 1964

This is a time for serious thinking and important concerns. You feel you must deal with practical matters and keep your mind at work. You are not inclined to play at games or trivial amusements, not because you are depressed, only serious. Your mind works quite well under this influence, and you will be able to keep at a task until you have solved all its problems. You are also able to concentrate on mental work that requires great attention to detail. Your eye is sharp for the little pieces that make up the whole, and you are as concerned about them as you are about the whole structure. As a result, the work you do today will be done very carefully and thoroughly. This is a good time to organize yourself and your environment, especially if the organization has to be detailed and involved.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977

David’s Sun moved onto his 11th house yesterday and will affect him until mid Aug. The theme of the influence is “Cooperation”.
At this time it is usually best to work and cooperate with other people. At other times you have found it necessary to be alone in order to find out who you are and the chief purposes of your life. Now you must ask these same questions in conjunction with others. Engaging in group efforts and projects in your personal and professional life will be the most effective way to accomplish this aim. Socialize extensively and study the people you associate with, for they are a reflection of yourself. What is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part. Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Without becoming domineering, you should let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can fit into the group dynamic without violating your integrity.

Jeff Burton’ Sun went into his 11 house also, so his main aspect affecting him today is the same as David’s.

Casey Mears, born 12 March 1978

This is an excellent day for starting a new project, particularly one that you can work on by yourself, without having to take orders or coordinate other people’s actions. You feel very vigorous and have a high level of physical energy, so you really need to be physically active today. One of the worst ways to handle this influence is to work quietly at a desk. You would quickly become itchy and irritable as your repressed energies try to find an outlet. It is important that you can identify with whatever you do today. Your ego energies are high, and you demand to be recognized as an individual. If you are not given this recognition, you are likely to become angry and easily involved in disputes. There is no question that unless you are totally occupied, you will be much more irritable than usual today.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
The difficulty with this influence is that it spurs you on to do more than you can handle, to involve yourself in projects that require more energy than you have or to extend yourself beyond your resources. But this same tendency can lift you to attempt and succeed at tasks you would not usually consider possible, especially if you have been acting rather conservatively. Similarly this influence can make you generous or extravagant, depending upon your previous attitudes. You can expect some difficulties with other people under this influence, but you should be able to handle them and even win them over to your side, unless you proceed from a position of arrogant self-righteousness. Be very careful to examine the other person’s point of view and try to find a common ground for cooperation between you.

Joe Nemechek, born 26 September 1963

Joe’s Venus has moved into his 9th house and is in effect until early Nov. This is very favorable for his emotional well being and his private and family life.
This would be a good time to see an art exhibit that challenges your preconceived views about what is beautiful. Probably this will be entertaining rather than unsettling, and you will experience something new. Or you might go to a concert that features music entirely different from anything you have ever heard. This influence can signify a long and enjoyable pleasure trip. You will derive the most benefit from a trip to a place you have never seen before, where you can encounter something totally new. This is a fine time for a vacation. Your experience may be broadened through a loved one who shows you new things. Or something may happen that will teach you more about your relationship, not to disturb you but to increase your insight.

The race is down to the wire for the Race is ON. Enjoy Chicawwwwgo. and ‘da Bars…I mean ‘da race.

Tally Ho LugNutZ! Onward!

NASCAR ~ Why all eyes should be on Ryan Newman at Chicago

NASCAR.com says: All signs for Rocketman

So do I, but for different reasons.
The New Moon is the chance we all have every month to begin again. A fresh start. It’s the time to focus on the goals of the month, and put forth your intentions.

Ryan’s win may very well come this weekend.

Here is his scope for tomorrows Busch race. I will keep his Sunday ‘scope for tomorrow.

Psychologically, this influence broadens your comprehension of any issue that you are interested in and your understanding of life in general as you encounter it today. You are concerned with the largest, most comprehensive possible view, and you are eager to incorporate new information into your way of looking at the world. At the same time you are intellectually more tolerant of other viewpoints, seeing them not as a threat to your views, but as a way of enlarging them. Your ability to see the larger view today enables you to plan with foresight. Where others see only confusion, you can see a pattern and come up with insights that will amaze others. In business or social activities you are able to organize very effectively, grouping people together so they can work most efficiently.
This is a time when your efforts to liberate yourself from unnecessary and inhibiting restrictions start to succeed. Your life may take a new tack that represents a radically new direction for you. If you are prepared and have consciously tried to bring about this situation, this will be a very good time, for you will be able to act with more freedom and self-determination. But you can expect considerable resistance from others, and it will not be easy. Keep working, for your efforts to expand and liberate your life are not finished.

Ryan’s horoscope is fascinating right now.Tomorrow, besides the New Moon taking place, Ryan’s Moon enters into his 6th House, his Moon is also trine his Natal Moon, and New Moon also happens to fall into his 6th House.

What does that mean? Well, numerologically, 6 plus 6 equals 12 tomorrow for Ryan.
Sunday’s race is even better.

I posted some investment tips I recieved today at On A Quest, if you interested. Good forecasts for some up and coming mergers.

NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for Daytona

Here are the ‘scopes for the Driver’s with major aspect’s affecting them in tonites race.

Dale Jarrett and Kenny Wallace run today!! Yippity Skippity!!

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Theme: Intense Encounters Weak, transient effect:
Today during the day you can expect intense encounters with others, chiefly those with whom you are very emotionally involved. The deepest and most powerful sources within your subconscious mind are influencing your actions now, and often it is difficult to avoid acting impulsively. Guilt, jealousy, overpossessiveness or simply the desire to control another’s emotions can take possession of you, or you may experience these feelings through someone else. You can be sure that any conflicts between you and another person will reveal a great deal about the inner workings of you both. If you can view such conflicts dispassionately and in a calmer light later on, you may derive some benefit from this influence. Otherwise, these encounters are likely to be fruitless and irritating.
The rest of Ryan’s aspects are all Trines, which will mellow this aspect out.

** Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr., and Casey Mears all have the same aspect in effect today, except stronger.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Moon Conjunction Chiron active only today.

This influence is experienced in different ways. Perhaps you are very bad-tempered at the moment, and overreact to the least sign of what you interpret to be criticism or rejection. Thus misunderstandings can quickly develop, and instead of trying to clear them up, you withdraw hurt and perhaps a bit sorry for yourself. If you can, however, estimate how much of this situation is the result of your own anxious expectations, this quality of time will help you to be empathic and understanding towards others. Then you will also find helpful words for everyone who is in a similar mood to you. Poetic and romantic music have a pronounced effect on you at this time. ( **Use an Ipod.)

(** Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon have the same aspect as Tony today.)

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Moon Opposition Venus

This morning you feel a desire for strong emotional contact with others. You want to be involved in relationships at this time, and you don’t care whether or not they are perfectly smooth. What is important to you now is the intensity of feeling and the interchange with another person. For this reason, relations with loved ones can be either smooth or rough with this influence. In fact, they are usually good, but if you are feeling negative for some other reason, this influence will not improve matters. On the other hand, even discordant contact with a loved one is likely to do more good than harm now, because it releases hidden tensions so that afterward you can feel better about each other. You should use this time to learn something about your relationships and your attitudes toward them.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978 (**Scary!!)
Theme with Mars conjuntion Chiron? Provocation

Today you feel full of energy, decisive, maybe even belligerent and possibly also ruthless. The physical drive also makes itself clearly felt. Ay the same time it is possible that you hurt yourself and others when it comes to arguments with people who are very close to you – a good friend or, of course, your partner if you are in a relationship. As a result of your current, possibly somewhat more self-confident and demanding style, you may unintentionally hurt and provoke your counterpart into delivering a blow below the belt. For this reason, you should now make a conscious effort to be especially careful to respect the feelings and sensitivities of others.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Moon Trine Mercury active only today:

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

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Mercury Sextile Med.Coeli Valid May1 until July 15:

This is a good time for communicating with people, writing letters or planning a course of action in your career or your home and personal life. You are inclined to spend a lot of time thinking under this influence, and others may see you as being all thought and no action. However, this is the time for plans, not for action. Your mind should be very clear today, and you should be in touch with your feelings and emotions to an unusual extent, even about aspects of yourself that you normally keep hidden because you cannot express them clearly. Therefore, the plans you make today are more in keeping with your real inner desires than usual. In your job this is a good time to clear away paperwork and handle the more trivial aspects of your work, because you can pay very close attention to details.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Moon Square Sun

This morning you will meet some sort of challenge to the structure of your daily life, that is, your home life, intimate relations, routine daily contacts and so forth. All of us have hidden tensions that cause us to operate in ways that we do not understand. The effect of this influence is to bring these tensions to the surface. Thus you may feel ill at ease within yourself and have a bit more difficulty in getting along with others, particularly with women. Now several small areas of your life may simultaneously reach a crisis that forces you to pay more attention to what is happening. This is especially likely to happen with situations or persons that you have been taking for granted. You should take the time to correct little problems as they arise and give them the attention that they require.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

Kasey’s Moon moved into his 2nd house on July 5th. Perhaps we will see some positive changes for him now. This aspect is in effect until the end of Oct.
This influence can be financially either good or difficult, depending upon how you handle it. Financial opportunities may come up, but difficulties may arise from your tendency to be extravagant. Often your tastes will be more lavish than your budget can afford. You are especially susceptible to beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home. This influence can be quite favorable to financial negotiations. You will be able to handle the relationships involved in any transactions to your benefit, for this influence always grants the ability to handle people. Investments made under this influence are usually quite advantageous, especially investments in art or objects of beauty. Again, be careful not to invest money that you need for everyday living.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976
Moon Trine Neptune active today only:

This influence will bring forth your innermost subconscious fantasies. This morning you may spend considerable time daydreaming and not accomplish very much, but you will probably feel that it has been worth it. Dreams can be very refreshing to the spirit. At times, we all need to withdraw a bit from the real world and encounter our inner selves. Now you have great sympathy for others. You are able to put yourself in their place and know exactly how you would feel in such a situation. You want to help others, with little thought of any benefit to yourself. This is one of those influences that makes you truly selfless, not merely in appearance. You may work to help people whom you consider less fortunate than yourself. There is often a strong interest in psychic or spiritual subjects under this influence.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

Venus Opposition Moon went into effect in Kevin’s chart yesterday and is in effect until Oct.
This influence can lead to rather indiscriminate affection, because your desire to love someone overrules your normal sense of discretion. This is not especially dangerous, although a certain amount of discretion is still desirable. It would be unwise to make a permanent commitment to a love affair that begins under this influence until you have had time to think about it. This influence might produce such extreme emotionalism between you and a loved one that you would not be able to handle your problems objectively. If you have been having problems with each other before, don’t try to have a calm, rational discussion just now, for it would lead only to an emotional confrontation with little communication. If all else is well, this should be a time of warm and friendly feelings between you and your loved ones.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Sun Sextile Chiron
Theme:An understanding atmosphere

You are particularly perceptive during this time – you have an almost infallible feeling for the fine, often unnoticed sensitivities of others and can take these into account during team-work and in conversations. In this way you create an open, sympathetic atmosphere in which your counterpart feels relaxed and secure. This is an excellent background for all personal contact and private talks with people who are close to you. Perhaps small hurts that others have suffered, which have made them sensitive, will come up in conversation. Should you find out that you yourself – even if unintentionally – were the cause of this injury, you now have the opportunity to make this good. Even small wounds need to be healed.

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
Moon Square Mercury

This influence can signify a critical time in your communications with the people around you, particularly those with whom you are intimately involved. The danger is that your feelings and emotions will overwhelm your rational intellect, making your thinking so subjective that no one else will be able to relate to what you say. Nevertheless you have a strong need to communicate about your emotions. You should avoid dealing with controversy by changing your own views every time someone disagrees with them. You will tend now to change your views according to the prevailing wind, but this may result in compromising yourself if the people you have “agreed” with compare viewpoints. However, it is natural for your opinions to be in a state of flux at this time. Just be honest about admitting it.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Saturn Trine Jupiter valid until July 15.T

his aspect has been in effect for Jimmie since last Oct. We are coming towards the end of it and a new major transit will take effect.
This is a time of balance and order in your life. You may have to work hard for financial gain, but at least your affairs are in order. Your business or professional life is well organized, and you should be making steady progress toward your goals. The gains you make at this time are not strokes of luck, they are the solid results of good organization.
Your greatest asset at this time is that you can see clearly how various parts of your life are working out. You understand the rules, and you are willing to play by them. Your attitude toward life is pragmatic and practical. You are more than usually willing to accept a situation as it is while working patiently to improve it. You are now in a position to make important choices that will greatly affect your future.

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

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

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

** I think Jimmie is, and will continue to be jealous of Jr. coming to HMS.

Michael Waltrip, born 30 April 1963

Poor Mikey…You should formulate objectives for long-range efforts at this time. Find out what you want to change about yourself and your world and get to work on those changes.
(**We got a new Australian Shepherd ~ His name is Mikey.He can sure herd cows.)

Bobby Labonte, born 8 May 1964

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. 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.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977

David’s Venus moved into his 12th House on July 2nd and is in effect until the end of Oct.
At its highest, this influence indicates an unusual degree of selflessness in love. In personal relationships, the need to care for someone else may mean that you will not get immediate gratification other than the pleasure of helping someone you love. If your relationship is basically sound, this influence will assure greater rewards of love and satisfaction later. Although this is a time for self-denial in love relationships, do not fall into the negative trap of playing martyr. Do not inflict on others, especially the ones you are helping, a constant awareness that you are “unselfishly” devoting yourself to them. This will undo your efforts and create trouble. If you cannot service with a true spirit of selfless devotion, do nothing.

Kenny Wallace, born 23 August 1963

Today during the day you should be careful because the energies of this influence are quite discordant and could create troubles 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. Relations with women may be especially difficult.

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967
Moon Sextile Med.Coeli:

This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Tonight you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

Ricky Rudd, born 12 September 1956

This morning you may experience a real conflict between feelings and reason. In the first instance, old habits, prejudices and childhood patterns of thought are very likely to take precedence over what you usually consider reasonable; obviously this is not a good time to enter into delicate negotiations or to engage in an important discussion. As for the other side of this influence, this is a good time to withdraw by yourself or with another person and get in touch with your feelings. As long as you recognize that your emotions are emotions rather than rational judgments, you will not have trouble with this influence. In fact, you can learn a great deal about yourself, because your feelings are very clear.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
Moon Sextile Mars:

Tonight 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 have 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.

Brian Vickers, born 24 October 1983

This is an excellent time for accomplishing all kinds of work. Your energy is high, and you have faith in your ability to achieve. This influence is extemely favorable to all sorts of physical and competitive activity. You are in a self-assertive mood today. If you have to fight with someone to maintain your position in any matter, you will be able to do it effectively. You are not inclined to back down, although you will seek out a common ground where the two of you can agree, if there is any.

Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959

This is an excellent influence for good times, entertaining and just having fun. Before you plan any hard work for this period, keep in mind that you are likely to put self-gratification and pleasure before work. You may find it difficult to put off something that you want to do in order to fulfill some duty. But this in not selfishness on your part, for you are quite capable of being generous and giving to others. You are more openly affectionate than usual and feel real love for the people around you. This is a good time to give or attend a party. It is also a good time to be with loved ones, not only a lover or partner but also children, from whom you will derive much pleasure now.

Well, the race looks like it will be a hot headed, lotsa wrecks kinda race. This is the last race we see the “old” cars, so enjoy it while you can. Bye-bye “Old Cars” of yesterday, the CORN is the car now.

Enjoy the race!!

Tally Ho!! Onward to Daytona!

NASCAR? Sprint? A million bucks? Yeah, I could handle that.

NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for Loudon

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

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

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

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

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985

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

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

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

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Mercury in the 11th House Valid during several months:
During this time you tend to think about your goals and expectations in life. You will examine your ideals to find out exactly how well they have served you and to what extent you have attained them. You should also think about whether your goals are really your own or whether they are in part other people’s goals that you have adopted for yourself. In the latter case, decide whether these goals are appropriate for you. At this time you need and will have more verbal and intellectual exchanges with friends and with other groups that you are associated with. Talking over your problems with friends will be especially helpful in reaching an objective viewpoint. But keep in mind that talking things over with friends cannot free you from prejudices and preconceptions that are held by the entire group.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976

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

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

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

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

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

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

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
Today you feel full of energy, decisive, maybe even belligerent and possibly also ruthless. The physical drive also makes itself clearly felt. At the same time it is possible that you hurt yourself and others when it comes to arguments with people who are very close to you – a good friend or co- worker. As a result of your current, possibly somewhat more self-confident and demanding style, you may unintentionally hurt and provoke your counterpart into delivering a blow below the belt. For this reason, you should now make a conscious effort to be especially careful to respect the feelings and sensitivities of others.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

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

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

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

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

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Theme:Harmonious cooperation

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

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

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

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Theme: Emotional confrontations

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

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

During this time you probably feel hurt, offended or ignored and therefore you have withdrawn into yourself,and do not allow anyone to get really close to you. At the same time, though, deep down you want to participate, enjoy life, love and be loved. Nevertheless, you should not expect too much of yourself in this respect. You probably need seclusion or a withdrawal to get over everything. In that case you should not bury yourself in your pain as that will not make things better. You will possibly find that the behavior of the other person was unintentional, and that your present situation mainly mirrors your own sensitivity.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NASCAR ~Astro Predictions for Michigan 2007

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

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

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

Kasey Kahne finally has a great ‘scope!!This is an excellent time for accomplishing all kinds of work. Your energy is high, and you have faith in your ability to achieve. Usually your health is quite good now, and this influence is extremely favorable for all kinds of physical activity. In fact it would be very bad not to be physically active, because these energies must have an outlet. If they do not, they can cause problems even when they are basically positive. Nevertheless you are in a self-assertive mood today. If you have to fight with someone to maintain your position in any matter, you will be able to do it effectively. You are not inclined to back down, although you will seek out a common ground where the two of you can agree, if there is any.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978During this time you probably feel hurt, offended or ignored and therefore you have withdrawn into yourself, and do not allow anyone to get really close to you. At the same time, though, deep down you want to enjoy life, love and be loved. Nevertheless, you should not expect too much of yourself in this respect. You probably need seclusion or a withdrawal to get over everything. In that case you should not bury yourself in your pain as that will not make things better. You will possibly find that the behavior of the other person was unintentional, and that your present situation mainly mirrors your own sensitivity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kurt Busch: I like some of our chances at some of these big tracks coming up like Michigan. We had a really strong car at Daytona 500.
im4kurtbusch: How do you feel about the Car of Tomorrow?
Kurt Busch: I feel like the car is a great idea along with the safety implements as well as the better racing we’ve seen
Kurt Busch: Over time this time this car will definitely lead us into the future. Like most things that are new it just takes time for it to develop and for people to get a better opinion about it.
Nascar_Babe: Hey snow angel, i was wondering why u started doing snow angels on the ground after a win? ive been calling you snow angel ever since. and i am homping one of these days it will catch on and then every one will be calling you that.
Kurt Busch: The first race that I won with Penske was at Bristol. My favorite race track as well as a lot of the fans favorite race track and the day that I won I think that it was about 40 degrees outside. That was one of the coldest races in history
Kurt Busch: In seemed fitting for the day and it carried on with other wins.
kosburn1: Have you noticed the fans giving you more respect then in the past? You sure do deserve it!
Kurt Busch: It’s definitely great to have the Kurt Busch fans out there cheering for us every week
Kurt Busch: It seems as if as time goes on we get more fans. It’s great to have their support and we’re going out there to win every race for them.
katie90: How’s the transition going with Troy?
Kurt Busch: Things seems to be going smoothly. Troy is a very smart low key kind of guy
Kurt Busch: He’s done a great job at absorbing the tough role as a crew chief in a short amount of time
Kurt Busch: His experience grows each week and he surprises me with how quickly he’s catching on.
GoArmy01: Do you prefer the current car over the COT?
Kurt Busch: I’m in the same boat that everybody else is. We just need to choose one car
Kurt Busch: I believed NASCAR realized that and they announced very early that we’ll be running the COT full-time next year
Kurt Busch: I was a fan of the new car in the beginning and still am a fan of it.
Highflying9916: If you did not make it as a driver what would you being doing right now?
Kurt Busch: I’d be somewhere in the racing industry. If it’s in your blood it’s in your blood. You can’t get rid of it
Kurt Busch: Whether I’d be a crew guy or on the marketing side of it, I’d still be in racing.
in2deep: Kurt, do you keep in touch with your old team mates?
Kurt Busch: Absolutely. It’s real easy to talk to them whether it’s at the track or away from the track
Kurt Busch: Driving in NASCAR these days is similar to a fraternity where sometimes you’re able to spend some afternoons or weekends with your buddies.
CapnChaos: Have you ever raced at the Nashville speedway ? Any plans ?
Kurt Busch: I’ve done a little bit of testing at the Nashville Super Speedway. It’s a great racetrack that deserves a NASCAR Nextel Cup date
Kurt Busch: I’d love to race there but the schedule is so grueling that it will make it tough to get there to race between all of the Cup races.
im4kurtbusch: I love to go to Bristol and watch you race? Do you think you run better there than anywhere else.
Kurt Busch: Bristol is my favorite track
Kurt Busch: I love the short track atmosphere especially during night races
Kurt Busch: But of all the short tracks Bristol is my favorite.
Forward16: i’ve been hearing a lot about the upcoming TV show…what was it like teaching celebrities how to drive race cars??
Kurt Busch: It was really fun seeing the celebrities out of their element! It was entertaining watching them as well as teaching them
Kurt Busch: I believe they now have a good apprecaition for how hard racing really is
Kurt Busch: I think you’ll enjoy watching it.
GoArmy01: What are your thoughts on hendrick domanance with the COT and otherwise?
Kurt Busch: I believe there’s other strong teams out there that just quite haven’t had the perfect days that the Hendrick cars have had
Kurt Busch: The Penske cars have been strong as well the Gibbs cars. I think Hendrick just got out of the box a little quicker than most teams but the gap is definitely closing.
GoArmy01: If you were trapped on an island and could only bring 3 things with you, what would you bring?
Kurt Busch: Well I’d have to bring my Fusion Power Phantom razor
Kurt Busch: I’d definitely have to bring satellite TV so that I could watch Fast Cars & Superstars
Kurt Busch: And probably miss out on Miller Lites if I didn’t bring some with me.
kosburn1: Any plans on racing any more Busch races this year?
Kurt Busch: I’ll be racing 2 more as of right now
Kurt Busch: Heading back to Watkins Glen in August to defend our race title that we won there last year
Kurt Busch: And then I’ll be out in Kansas later this year as well in October I believe.
im4kurtbusch: Which Roush member would you say you were closest to?
Kurt Busch: Probably Matt Kenseth. He was formerly a Gillette Young Gun and the 2 of us worked out of the same race shop for many years so the racing relationship turned into a personal relationship as well.
kosburn1: what’s a typical race morning like for you?
Kurt Busch: Well it starts out with quite a few autograph sessions. Most important is seeing the race fans on Sunday morning and I’ve been at my souvenir rig for the past 7 years so that the fans can come by and see their favorite driver
Kurt Busch: After we do that there might be a sponsor hospitality event. Shortly after that it’s off to the drivers meeting
Kurt Busch: And then I always make time to have a lucky turkey sandwich right before the race.
purefaith: Who would your all time racing hero be? Or do you have one?
Kurt Busch: It would have to be my father. He didn’t race in NASCAR but he raced locally back in Las Vegas
Kurt Busch: When I was a kid growing up there was always a race car in the garage and it was his race car so I looked up to him as my mentor and as my hero
Kurt Busch: In fact with Father’s Day coming up I’ll be sure to get him a basket of Fusion Power Phantoms.
in2deep: Kurt, if you could choose any track in another country like Canada or Japan to race at, what country would you choose to race in?
Kurt Busch: It would probably have to be the Monaco Grand Prix in the Cote d’Azure
Kurt Busch: The excitement of that race captivates me like no other race and as historic as it is it would be something very special to me to have the chance to race in it.
katie90: If I remember correctly, you have been a Gillette Young Gun from the very beginning? What’s that been like?
Kurt Busch: Gillette has been a great partner to work with. Not only do they support us in racing they make great products too from the Mach 3 Turbo to the current Fusion Power Phantom their products are always “the best that a man can get”
Kurt Busch: We always do a lot of innovative things marketing wise like the prank commercials and the upcoming reality TV show. It’s a blast to film those pieces as well as to mingle with the other drivers and celebrities.
Highflying9916: I would like to be a driver one day. Do you have any words of advice for me?
Kurt Busch: The best advice I would give is when you first start out keep it on a level where you’re having fun
Kurt Busch: Don’t push too hard and don’t take it too seriously
Kurt Busch: The other advice I can give is what my father gave me which is bring the car home in one piece so that you can keep moving forward instead of having to work on it all the time.
Moderator: ok we have time for one last question today….
Highflying9916: Who is the driver you most respect in the garage?
Kurt Busch: That would have to be Jeff Gordon. He’s a 4 time champion and continues to rack up serious stats. The guy came into our sport and changed the face of marketing which allows drivers like myself to team up with great sponsors (like Gillette)
Kurt Busch: It’s all about the almighty marketing power and it’s great to be teamed up with Gillette and all of their associated companies.
Moderator: We’d like to thank Kurt for taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with us today. We look forward to watching you in “Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race: Fast Cars & Superstars” which premieres on ABC this Thursday at 8 pm Eastern.
Moderator: Good luck in the Chase!
Kurt Busch: Thanks everyone! I’ll be signing autographs at the Phantom display in the souvenir row from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. on Jun. 16 at Michigan Int’l Speedway so I hope to see some of you there.

There you go. Email me your essays…and don’t forget: Our Flying Ryan the Rocketman is is confirmed scheduled tonite live at 6:30 EST On Pit Row. If anyone can’t listen, they can still call at 877-502-8255 either before during or after the interview.

“The winning is just a matter of time.”
** By the way…Ryan will be on the next Gillette Young Guns / Sportsmates chat. Keep posted. Prizes will be flying again at The Church of the Great Oval on that special day.

Tally Ho!! Onward LugNutZ!

NASCAR ~ 12:12 and Ryan Newman is back!

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

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

Well, once again, HMS Rules at Lowes, as HMS has ruled the season so far. Congrats to Casey Mears for his first Cup win and his second place finish last night. He earned his stripes. When Denny Hamlin had to go in for a splash, that was that. Mears, running far ahead of J.J., had the deal done at that point. He ran a great race. It was fun to see his face. I think he was surprised.
(** Please? Don’t fire me and hire Jr., Mr. Hendricks. I can drive. Really! **)
Alas, I must admit, I was cheering for him to run out of gas or have a tire go down. I really like “‘Lil-Amigo” Yeley, and I was cheering for him to still take 2nd.
I so wanted to see Kyle Petty get that win. Wouldn’t that have been great! Congrats to his finest finish in 10 years. I was wondering if he would really cut his ponytail off, or has he become attached to it. I like it myself, being the old Hippi at heart that I am. Reed Sorenson had a great surprise 4th place finish.

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

The Toyota’s showed some stuff this weekend. I will lay a prediction down right now so I can say “I told you so”:
The Toyota teams will kick butt next year.
Jeremy Mayfield got a new crew chief and led the race a lap for his birthday present. It’s good to see him back, and running well. Vickers and Jarrett too. The Great Rooster showed he can still crow.
Jarrett was driving his heart out,showing he still has the stuff that made him the Champ that he is. Vickers was hot. He also may have made his jackman feel a little heat rush from narrowly averting disaster. Scary.

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

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

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

NASCAR ~ Astro-Predictions for the All Star Challenge

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
** Eewwww. Same as Tony’s.

Tally Ho!! Gotta go!

** Don’t forget Matt Poole’s needs while you are being so incredibly generous today!

NASCAR’s Future Champion?

If you are not reading this material in your news aggregator,or at http://churchofthegreatoval.wordpress.com the site you are looking at is guilty of copyright infringement.

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

Here is Matt’s latest press release.

For Immediate Release

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NASCAR ~ Richmond Astro-Predictions

In memory of Tonya

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Theme: Graceful changes	***

Valid during many months: This influence represents an excellent opportunity for you to make changes in your emotional life and personal surroundings, such as your home. And you can make these changes without causing great problems and upsets, as might be the case at other times. For example, you could remodel your home or change your personal habits. Either of these changes would be appropriate to the energy of this influence.
Events may present you with opportunities to experience your emotions in a new way. You may begin a new relationship that will bring feelings you have never had before. A love relationship that begins under this influence will have a wonderful excitement that may be missing at other times. Existing relationships may also change so that they, too, allow you new emotional experiences.
A situation may occur that brings up an event from the past so that you can examine it in a new light and change your attitudes toward it. By understanding the past differently, you will be able to change its effect upon you. For example, this may be an encounter with your mother or other female relative that clarifies and allows you to change your attitude toward something that happened in your childhood.
You may have got into certain routines with friends and other people whom you see every day, with the result that you have not been experiencing them as they really are. Unconsciously adopted attitudes may have got in the way of seeing them clearly. This influence gives you the chance to recognize these attitudes and to change them. Consequently you may experience your friends as new individuals.
Take advantage of this opportunity to make graceful changes in your personal life. Now it will be easy to get rid of unconscious attitudes, habits and routines that will be much harder to get rid of later on.
The rest of Ryan's current forecast at this time, looks like this. I will add various aspect's as they change.
Neptune conjunction Ascendant: Excessive idealism
End of March 2006 until end of January 2008: This influence will alter your relationships with others and change the kind of impression you make on people. The greatest single danger is that you are susceptible to deception by others, because you are in an unusually idealistic frame of mind, and believe in the merit of proposals that you are invited to join, even when they are useless. In fact, with your excessive idealism, you are likely to get involved in many situations that you would usually avoid. Relationships, in particular, should be watched, for you are inclined to idealize people, especially a lover, and be blind to their real faults. These faults may not be all that bad, but in your present frame of mind you probably would not be able to accept the truth. And when you finally do accept it, you will be disappointed. Do not expect more of others now than you could reasonably expect at other times. People are people, although you may lose sight of that during this time.
There is also a danger that you might lose sight of who you are and what your limitations are. You may expect too much of yourself, or you may think that you impress others in certain ways that are not at all true. If you feel that others like you, it may be that you are utterly unaware of certain complaints they have about you. And they may not be bothered at all by habits you think they really dislike, which you try to repress.
In relationships with others you may be inclined to play a martyr role. Stand up to people for what you believe to be your personal rights and do not pretend that things don't bother you if they do. If you play the martyr, someone else will surely be willing to play the role of persecutor. This applies especially in love relationships.
You may also become more interested in psychic, spiritual and religious matters during this time, but since you are searching for direct experience of the divine, you are unwilling to put up with movements that are excessively formal, ritualized or intellectual. Consequently you will probably not be attracted to an orthodox church.
Saturn conjunction Descendant: Relationships on trial
Beginning of September 2006 until mid June 2007: This influence has two quite different meanings. First of all, it can indicate a period in which intimate one-to-one relationships become an area of great responsibility. Chief among these is your marriage or living with your partner, but it also refers to close partnerships of any sort. You must pay close attention to these relationships. Strains and tensions that have been developing in the recent past are likely to surface now and must be dealt with immediately! Sometimes the only way to handle these problems is to end the relationship, so this can be a time of great trial for a marriage. Even under the best of circumstances you will have to work harder on partnerships and try to solve as many problems as possible.
Related to this is another possible area of concern: namely, problems with people who oppose your interests in various matters. Such people can range from outright enemies to those who simply want to keep you in check for some reason. If this kind of problem arises, all you can do is try to understand the person's motivation and do what you can to eliminate their reasons for opposing you.
But aside from these two kinds of problems involving others, this influence means that at this time you are making a significant breakthrough in your life.
For several years now you have been working quietly to get ahead and make new beginnings, particularly in your professional life. Now the work you have been doing is beginning to bear fruit and you will be acknowledged. In fact, one of the reasons you are having conflict with enemies is that now you are really beginning to get somewhere in life, which is likely to be threatening to others.

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

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

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

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

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

Jupiter conjunction Sun: Exuberant optimism

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

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

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

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

Saturn conjunction Saturn: Pruning your life

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

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

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

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

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

NASCAR in Phoenix

Today would have been my Mom’s 75th birthday. Happy Birthday in Heaven Mom! I love you so much and miss you catastrophically. Thanks you for coming and seeing me in my dreams sometimes. Come more often, k?

Jeff Gordon won at Phoenix. Congrats to Jerry that his driver won. I suppose I also, as a respectful NA$CAR fan, must acknowledge that he is a pretty good driver ~~sometimes~~ and because of all the once upon a time really good consistent driving, he tied Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s record for sixth place on the career victory list with 76 Congrats on his first victory at the 1-mile Phoenix oval, leaving only Texas and Homestead as active tracks where he has yet to find Victory Lane.

**Jerry, The Diecast Dude has a new project going on called Restrictor Plate This. Check it out. What you will find, besides his usual acerbic wit and unique perspectives are a couple other surprises and another writer or two over there.

My dear Hubby, the #1 #44 fan on the Western half of the U.S. (Tom and he have a respectful disagreement as to who is the #1 fan, and they made this compromise:)) , second fav driver is Jeff Gordon. We nearly had a knock down drag- out at the end of the race because I was so ticked that he was rooting for Gordon in the EXTREME manner he was. I am ashamed to admit how mad I was at my husband. I was so mad I wouldn’t talk to him for about an hour after the race. FURIOUS. One of our non-NA$car friends, thought we were fun to watch a race with tho. I think the stress from the move finally got to me. It is either that or I have developed some serious anger management issues. (**felt pretty stupid the next day , I must say.**).

I was however ELATED for Ryan Newman. Still am. It’s about time, my friend. Yippity skippity!!

I am also pretty happy that my ‘scope’s were pretty close. I always like that and my fantasy teams all did great. Yippity skippity!

NASCAR ~ Phoenix Astro – Predictions

Here are the pertinent driver’s horoscopes for Phoenix. All I can say, after looking at these ‘scopes is that it’s anybody game. Well, except maybe Biff’s, Stremme, and D.J.’s. There are some awesome positive aspects there for nearly all the driver’s. Take a close look at Jr.’s aspects. in light of what is happening in his life right now. Hmmmm….??

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Theme: Taking a stand
**Very likely you will have to convince someone of something today. This will probably not be an argument, but rather a situation in which you have to present your case with vigor and energy. But if someone tries to talk you into something, you will defend your own position vehemently and successfully. This influence is not as argumentative as it sounds. People will not see you as spoiling for a fight, nor will they be particularly likely to pick a fight.
Instead they will respect you for taking a stand on your own beliefs.
Your inner confidence in your ideas and beliefs will help you initiate and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Do not be reluctant to use them. Under this influence you should be successful.
Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Theme: Getting involved
This influence favors love relationships and the formation of friendships. It indicates a balance in your life between self-assertion and the need to relate to others. In a sexual relationship this balance is manifested by your ability to give and receive equally.
This influence may bring about financial opportunities, particularly for investment in a new and unique venture. Your own individuality is best expressed by getting involved, financially or emotionally, in projects that are different and innovative.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Theme: Something New
You want to take a larger view of life in order to see how the various parts fit together to make up the whole. Any new and interesting phenomenon from a world outside your own is likely to attract your attention at this time. Subjects relating to foreign places, the law, philosophy or higher knowledge of any kind will engage your attention. It is possible that you may have some dealings with officials connected with the law, although you should not fear this possibility particularly. It is a good time to travel, because your curiosity makes travel very interesting to you. You are also quite open to alternative lifestyles at this time. This influence is valid for several weeks.

Moon square Pluto brings on a tendency toward sudden urges today. Although this is a weak tranient effect, it is significant, as it also shows up in a couple of other drivers ‘scopes today.
This influence can have many different effects, some of which you should be quite careful of. To begin with, it encourages compulsive behavior; your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges and impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings. This influence is least difficult if you deal with your feelings honestly and do not try to hide them from yourself. On the plus side, however, this influence allows you to go inside yourself and find out what you really want in any situation. Emotional self-analysis is very effective now, as long as you are willing to be honest. Encounters with others may also force an emotional self-confrontation which is useful, even though possibly unpleasant.

Dale Jr.’s is a bit more complex…too complex to go with the short version.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Theme: Out of the woodwork
Mercury Opposition Mars ~ Under this influence you feel like telling everyone you encounter exactly what you think of them, whether or not it is flattering. You are likely to be in a combative mood, which may cause other people to start a fight.
Quite often this combativeness is well buried in your subconscious mind, and the only way you know it is there is because people seem to come out of the woodwork to start an argument. You may feel like the totally innocent victim of someone else’s aggressiveness, and it may appear that way to a neutral observer, but nevertheless you have been sending out hostile signals at a very subtle level. At this time it is better to be conscious of your feelings of aggression, hostility and resentment toward others than to try to ignore them. At least you will have some control over them.

Perhaps some Delays?
Mercury square Saturn in your ‘scope today 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.

Venus sextile Moon brings a theme of taking it easy into your day.
Your emotions are softened by this influence. You will find it difficult to feel anger or resentment against anyone, particularly the people who are close to you emotionally or those whom you encounter in the course of everyday life. Toward friends you feel protective and nurturing, and you want to help them in any way you can. If you have to work with others, you are able to keep things running smoothly because of your sympathetic understanding of their feelings. If you have a choice, you should have people visit you today instead of going out, because the benevolent nature of this influence is best expressed at home. This is one of the finest influences under which to relax and take it easy, and probably you will not feel like working anyway.

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

Greg Biffle, born 23 December 1969
I am not even going there. Don’t expect a good day for him.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Theme: Sweet talk
Mercury trine Venus is a very agreeable influence that makes you feel quite positive and friendly toward everyone you meet. Also you are in tune with your feelings, and you speak with considerable sensitivity. This is a good time to meet new people, because you can project the most agreeable side of your personality. If you like to make sweet talk, that is this is the time for it. Of course this is an excellent time to talk with someone about your feelings of love and friendship, for it will be easier than usual to talk about these feelings.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Theme: Enlarging your scope
Mars trine Ascendent affects a lot. In most areas of your life, you are able to act much more decisively than usual, especially in dealing with others. You know where you stand, and you ask others to let you know where they stand. And despite your self-assertiveness, you are able to create a balance in a group so that everyone benefits from working together and no one feels dissatisfied. Under this influence you will want to enlarge the scope of your activities somewhat. It will not be enough to express your energies as you have in the past. At this time you want to find new expressions, and you will look for people to share in this. For this reason you want to be with active people who have enough energy to go along with your plans. On the physical level, this is usually a period of good health.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Sun trine Saturn signifies a great opportunity to know yourself through your relationship with and effect upon your environment. You are highly disciplined and able to channel all your energies toward any objective you wish to attain. There is a close relationship between who you are and what you do. So take this opportunity to examine your life and the structures you have built into it. Today you can organize and make an overall plan for the way you would like to order your affairs and then arrange them accordingly. Because you work very thoroughly and meticulously under this influence, your efforts will achieve lasting results. This is also a good time to undertake any intellectual discipline or technique that requires concentration and attention to detail.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Sun Opposition Neptuneisn’t the best aspect to be influencing you today. You can however make it positive if you are aware of it and chooose it to be different. This may be a day of considerable confusion and uncertainty. On the other hand, you may gain new awareness of and sensitivity to others and their needs and how they relate to your own. Your encounters with others today may be demoralizing or confusing. Your ego energies are not very high, and you are not in a self-assertive mood for vigorous competition. If someone comes at you aggressively, your natural inclination today is to avoid the confrontation. You might withdraw, or pretend to agree with the person just to avoid a contest. You are afraid that asserting yourself might accomplish nothing, and this fear may tempt you to act surreptitiously rather than out in the open. Avoid doing that, however, because it will demoralize you further.

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975
Venus Opposition Neptune shows up as a you should be careful of your relationships. This influence has many possibilities, some good, some difficult. Your unrealistic ideals may lead to acute disappointment with loved ones, unless you make an effort to understand and accept the reality of your relationships. A typical illusion to beware of is picturing yourself in a love relationship as the unselfish, giving one who sacrifices everything for the other. This is a blatant ego game in which the ultimate purpose may be to gain control over the other by manipulating feelings of obligation. Although this influence is capable of producing a beautiful romantic experience, you cannot depend upon it continuing forever. Enjoy it for itself and do not make demands upon it. Beauty does not need to be justified.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Venus Sextile Ascendant brings on a tone of being the life of the party
This is a very lighthearted time, when you should be able to relax and enjoy yourself with friends and loved ones. You will enjoy being with groups of people, and you will wish to express your feelings of affection. Your favor will extend even to the point that you want to share it with everyone. This is also a good time to go out and meet people. You will not have the fear and shyness that may sometimes make it difficult for you to encounter new people, nor will you need to worry about making bad impressions on anyone.This influence helps to ensure you will make a favorable impression upon everyone. If you usually enjoy being the life of the party, you will certainly have the chance to play this role now.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Mercury opposition Pluto means that you could possibly get caught in some kind of power play on race day. This is a good day for getting to the bottom of any problem, either in a relationship or in some other encounter between you and another person. Or you may become involved in an intellectual conflict of wills with another person. Someone may try very hard today to convince you of some truth that you would rather not accept, or you may do this to someone else. It can go either way. Be very careful about these attempts to persuade, because they can become the basis of a very subversive, smoldering conflict between you. It may be hard to bring such a conflict out into the open where the two of you can air your grievances. And it may be that there aren’t any real grievances at all, but that one of you is trying to pull off a naked power play.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Mercury conjunction Saturnplaces a focus on precision. During this period you are likely to proceed with considerable caution, which has both good and difficult effects. You are much more concious than usual of the distinctions between things, making it hard to see the “forest for the trees.” This extends to your attitudes toward others, so that you may be inclined to concentrate on people’s negative characteristics and to overlook their positive traits. On the positive side, this influence can give you great intellectual precision. If you have to do any work that requires extreme precision of thought and planning, now is the time. It will work especially well if you have previously outlined the general plan and left the detailed planning until now.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Mercury Conjunction Med.Coelimeans that today your attention will be focused on your work, profession or important social duties that you must exercise. You have an opportunity to plan for the future in these areas of your life, and you will discuss with others your proper course of action. On the psychological level, this is a good time for being alone to reflect upon your long range plans and how well you are fulfilling them. The Midheaven is strongly connected with the ego structure, and Mercury transiting it may indicate that you are dwelling upon your basic ego needs. This is especially important if by nature you are a meditative person, who wants to plan everything out before acting. A more extroverted person will go right out and talk to the world, even though that may mean going off half-cocked.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976
Here is thatMoon trine Uranus aspect again that we see in both Tony and Jr.’s chart. Tonight you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Kevo’s scope is good. Very,very good. Better than anyone else’s. Way better. Happy could be very happy. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Chiron Square Chironactive in your chart from March of 2007 until Nov.2008 can signify a period bad luckunless you are very aware of your own inner workings and outide influences in your enviroment. Under this influence you could cause yourself considerable harm by making strenuous attempts to overcompensate for your weaknesses ~ for example by overdoing things or taking on tasks for which you are not yet ready. Demanding far too much of yourself is likely to lead to some kind of failure or disgrace, which will only serve to reopen old wounds. Less dramatic effects are also possible which nevertheless have the same root causes. You could, for example, feel that you are often your own worst enemy when dealing with others. Trying to appear strong when you actually feel weak could lead you into unpleasant situations.
You will find it easiest to cope with this influence if you can admit that, unlike baron Münchhausen, you are unable to pull yourself out of the swamp by your own hair. No heroic feat of strength can undo old wounds. If you can recognize this you will be able to avoid the more unpleasant side-effects of this influence, but also to realize where bypassing old pain might have caused you to skip important stages in your personal development. Try to accept these uncomfortable feelings without overreacting. This influence will help you to find ways of healing old wounds connected to the physical and instinctive sides of your nature, or at very least how you can better integrate them into your life.
Thank goodness that there are many other aspects in your chart every day to balance this out and make things easier in your life.. This is an Aspect we all go through in our lives. It is the door that opens into new and greater doors. I will predict right now that Denny may take the championship in 2009.

Casey Mears, born 12 March 1978
Moon Sextile Chiron is in Jr.’s chart also and is the main theme for yours. During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual – even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others – for example children – enough security to trust you.

And finally:

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
Sun Opposition Uranus brings with it, a sense of restlessness.All one-to-one encounters and close intimate relationships will be occasions for surprising events today. Exactly what will happen is hard to say, except that it will be quite different from the norm, whatever your norm may be. For example, in a close relationship as with your partner, one or the other partner may be extremely restless. In this case, there is something in the relationship that one of you is impatient with and unwilling to put up with. This feeling may lead to an argument. Or perhaps one of you will do something radically different and startling that will disrupt the relationship or force you to encounter a new aspect of it. In a business or professional partnership, you may have to make a radical revision because of some unexpected factor.
Moon Square Moon 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.

Hmmmm….this will be an interesting race. Will someone be eating CORN?Tally Ho LugnutZ! Off to the dezert we go.

Onward!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the race. Dale and I are taking off for the Canyon mine in OR and will be back to finish the move on Sunday. We heard today that the river is rising and we need to get up there with some equipment while we can still cross with the truck. For the short time that the river is really high, we can access it with the cable car, and 4 wheelers. (*FYI ~ Where we go is less than two hours on the free way from our home in ID. The last few miles take a half an hour in itself, because of the remoteness, and slow, curvy gravel roads with occasional boulders in the way. It’s not like we are driving hundreds and miles:)) We still have a load of equipment and parts that we need to get up there.

Later Gators. See ya Sunday sometime!

NASCAR ~ Insert Thy Foot into Thy Mouth.

There are a lot of lips flapping this week about Mr. Excitement, Jr., Kelly, DEI, Mikey, Tony Stewart and John Paul the Pope of Motorsports.

My opinion? ROFLOL.

1. Should Jimmy Spencer be fired?

Heck no! Who could ever take his place? He is what he is and he says what he says. It wasn’t a racial, sexist, misogynistic comment. It was his opinion and he has the right to it. Yes, I agree it was harsh… to the point of mean. I understand Jr. and Kelly and their staff and fans being very angry. He apologized, for what that was worth. But fire him? No way.

2. Should Dale Jr. have driven for at Texas?

Yup-oh! Made Baby Busch look a bit, ummmmm, stupid. Which always breaks my heart. Sorry Helen. I really hope it doesn’t come back to bite Jr. in the butt. For example, Kyle beating Jr. into the 12th Chase spot by 3 points.

3. Has DEI renewed Jr.’s contract, giving him controlling interest?

Step-Mommy would be an idiot not to do it. If she loses him , well I wouldn’t want to wish that kind of a catastrophe on anyone. Yes, she would still make a ton of money off Dale Sr.’s name and rightfully so. She was his wife. I do believe that where Jr. goes…Martin Truex Jr. will follow. Who would drive for her? Jimmy’s comment that Dale Sr.’s fans would be upset with Jr.? I doubt it…Jr.’s fans rank him right under God and Dad.

4. Mikey?

I feel really bad for him. What a bunch of bad luck. The saying goes “What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.“ Thank God he wasn’t killed. No, I don’t believe he was drunk for one second. Give the guy a friggin’ break. I hope the Crew Chief change will help. I think we all need to remember that Toyota is the ONLY American made car in NASCAR, and get off the “Made in the U.S.A.” crap. It’s not like he and the other Toyota driver’s have committed treason and went over to Al-Qa’ida.

5. Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya tiffing?

I predicted Tony and John Paul, The Pope of Motorsports, would eventually be at war this season. I received a lot of disagreement at the time about it, as he and Tony had at one time been team mates. So what? They are both out to win, not say “Excuse me! Please move along now.” I also predicted J.P.M. would make a lot of driver’s mad. My favorite “Rookie” didn’t come to NASCAR to ”Kick back and learn” as my driver so delicately said. He came to kick butt. I believe he will continue to do what he does best. Drive. Aggressively. Very Aggressively. He has now ticked off my 2 favorite drivers. First Ryan, then Tony.

Wonder who will be next?

Jr.? Heaven forbid.

Jeff Gordon? **snicker… I can’t wait to see that.

Maybe Kevo? Wonder if Kev would have anything to say, or would he / could he, stay totally silent? Ol’ Hap can make me laugh like no one else, except Kenny Wallace. I am anxious to see Tony & John Paul, The Pope of Motorsports, perform at Phoenix. We all know how Tony loves Phoenix.

6. Did the Baby Alien ~~really?~~ just have a mis-communication?

I doubt it. Is that even a word? It was probably more of a temper tantrum. I promised him earlier this year that I wouldn’t call him Big Baby Busch anymore if he continued to act like a man. I didn’t see it and those who did aren’t talking, so I will keep my promise. I am just waiting though. Heart beating in anticipation for the day I can break my promise.

So there, now you have my opinion, for what it’s worth.

I will have the Phoenix ‘scopes done tomorrow.

Another exciting race with those spankin’ new neat-o ~~vehicle thingys.~~

Tally Ho!! Come now. Onward to Phoenix “My Little Precious” LugNutz!

NASCAR in Atlanta ~ The Astro Remake of “Song of the South” again…

I mean NA$CAR.
Atlanta Motor Speedway… Ryan Newman, in the#12 car, after losing his #1 position is relaxed, yet focused at the rear of the line. The Rocketman sits…ready…waiting…knowing he is going to kick some butt today. He’s in good company sitting back there with Dale Jarrett. D.J. is feeling very disappointed today. Ryan knows what his horoscope says for Atlanta, and affirms to himself:

“My influence’s today stimulates my physical vitality, giving me the chance to work hard and accomplish much. My health is good during this time, and I am able to approach everything I do with vigor and self- confidence. And this carries over to the psychological level as well, as an ability to assert myself toward others and stand up for my views in any controversy. New opportunities to be personally effective often open up under this influence. For example, in my job I might get a chance to take on an important victory, one I have been waiting for, for a long time. A well deserved opportunity. I know I also have Mars Trine Pluto activity from 18 March to 20 March. It’s theme is: Considerable credit!
I should formulate objectives for long-range efforts at this time. I will find out what I want to change about myself and my world and get to work on those changes. The energy I have now will allow me to keep up a sustained effort for a long time. At work I will be given an opportunity to wield more power and thereby be more effective personally. Today I will be given considerable credit for what I do.”
“Moon Trine Med.Coeli during the day means my personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times.”

Ryan also knows that Clance’ is wearing the hat he autographed for her. She calls it “Ryan’s Lucky Star Hat”. It clashes with her Tony jammies.

Elliot starts in the #1 position but that will do him no good today. His scope sucks…again. Signs of big mechanical issues.

( Tony Stewart walks up to Jimmie Johnson and extends his hand. )
Tony begins to sing:
“How do you do?
Mighty pretty greeting,
How do you do? Say it when yer meeting..”
Jimmie Johnson sings back, shakes Tony’s hand and looks him in the eye:
“How do you do?
With everyone repeating,”
(Chad and Zippi join in )
“Pretty good sure as yer born.”

They obviously did not read their ‘scopes.

The National Anthem plays…The prayer is said for all the Drivers, fans, and families…

A Mighty Voice is heard inside Tony Stewart’s helmet, one that he thought only he could hear:

“Whilst you can’t ever go back and relive past glories, there are always better ones perpetually gathering. Indeed Tony Stewart , it is written in your genes, your DNA, and chiseled upon the pearly gates of heaven, that whosoever ventures into the jungles of time and space, from that day forward, all things must get better, and better, and better, ad infinitum.”
Oh what a scheme, I done did dream – and I AM the Great I AM.”

Ryan Newman, hearing the same voice in his ear, thinks to himself :

“I think it’s been a long long time
Till the pole brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no! No, no. I’m The Rocketman
The Rocketman! Burning out my tires in circles past the finish line, here alone!

I am The Rocketman…I AM. “

He chant’s: “193.124 ” “193.124″

… And the crowd begins to sing and dance:
“Hee hee ha ha hee hee hoo hoo!
“Boy are we in luck! We’re visiting a real fast place.
We all like a real fast place! A real fast place to go!” “Take a frown, turn it upside down
And we will find ours we know!”“Honey fun is what we bring!
We’ve found one thats filled with fun!”

“Honey and rainbows on our way
Where everyone is worth his weight!
Boy are we in luck!”

“We’re visiting a real fast place!
Take a smile and for a while
You’ll find yours we know!”

“Honey and rainbows on our way
Take that frown, turn it upside down!”

Tension fills the air as the crowd, driver’s, and crew hear:

“GENTLEMAN!! Start!! Your!! Engines!!

(VERY LOUD sound effects) VRRROMMMMVROOOOM !!

(Instrumental music to the tune of “The wheels on the bus go round and round” plays in the background.)
The crowd watches in anticipation as the race begins.

Lap 1: Ryan Newman is humming to himself :

I have so many lucky stars!
Boy, they make the darkness seem so far!

When I’m lost they’ll be my guide
I just turn around and all cars will be on my backside!
Come on shine your heavenly bodies tonight
cause I know you’re gonna make everything all right!

These may be my lucky stars
Cuz I’m the luckiest by far!

The crowd begins to sing to Mark Martin:
“If you chance to meet a frown
Do not let it stay!
Quickly turn it upside down
And smile that frown away!
No one likes a frowning face
Change it for a smile…
Make the world a better place
By smiling all the while!

The race goes on…and on…and on…

Lap 100

Ryan thinks about Carl Edwards ‘scope which is also pretty good, tho not as good as his own.

Tony is heard singing, on his own Directv channel:

Zipp-a-delli-doo-dah! Zippi-delli-ay!

My! Oh my! What a wonderful day!

Ryan snicker’s as he passes him, seeing some frustration suddenly all over Tony’s face.

Tony remembers “Wait!!” “I can control my temper!” “I am in love!!” “It doesn’t matter if the Alien’s stole my happy pills today!”

Meanwhile, the Alien’s, disguised as the Busch Brother’s, are both feeling very intense, tho in different ways. Kurt’s awareness of his personal relationships are overcoming his drive to win. He may not be giving his all out of loyalty, but is tiring of this, and quickly. His little brother has handled himself like a gentlemen lately but that may come to an end today. Although the crowd may not realize there is tension between the Brothers Busch, the stars show that there are. “Hmmm…” Kurt thinks to himself. “I might have to kick his little rear end pretty soon.”

Matt Kenseth might be feeling like Eeyore today. Hope I am wrong there.

Halfway through the race, Jeff Gordon is driving his heart out. He is struggling internally with his love of racing, and the awareness of Life itself. He is thinking he needs to be more careful. He has a child coming. He loves his wife. He wants to be with them for as long as he can. He is “Aware” and thinking of his own mortality now. He no longer feels that he can be reckless in anyway.

Dale Jr. is dealing with a lot of intense feeling both on and off the track, in every area of his life. He may feel a need to retreat and be by himself this evening.

Robby Gordon also is feeling a lot of intense feelings. Some triumphant, some satisfaction and is very happy to have a sponsor on the hood of his car. He is still in the astrological place where his own anger can get in his way right now. He is truly trying to work out his own inner issues. He truly has the total benefit of all in mind. This is also a time where no matter what Robby does, it will attract communication and attention from every conceivable corner of his life. In the long run, it will pay off. That is all that matters. Oh yeah…the other thing that matters is he will have the Motorola Logo on his car. Period.

Politics and Na$car. Imagine that.

The race continues…still on…and on…and on.

Ryan is now singing “NASCAR ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s hot as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them, if you did.
And all this science I do understand
It’s just my job every day of the week
I am The Rocketman…I AM.”

Kevin Harvick can’t get Van Morrison out of his head…

“Ooh-wee!
The wild night is calling.
And all the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the street
And the people passin by
Just stare in wild wonder
And the inside juke-box
Roars out just like thunder.
And everything looks so complete…
The wild night is calling!“

Jeff Burton after all the excitement of winning the Busch race agin this week, may suffer from an adrenaline crash today. Not a literal crash, but an emotional one.

David Stremme is feeling very good about himself today. He is confident and knows something exciting is happening to him. Look to see him a whole lot more in the future. Big things are coming…

Towards the end of the race it all come down to luck, skill and oddity. Today is also a NEW Moon, on the day of a Solar Eclipse. With this also affecting all the aspects, who knows what could happen. We know it will be fast. We know who’s going to be singing. There will be some surprises.

I don’t know if wearing my Tony jammies like I usually do on race day will help or not. I know I am wearing my Ryan’s Lucky Stars Hat” I think I will wear my cute little pink and black Ryan shirt too. Might as well stay comfy, and wear my black wide legged, cropped sweatpants too. I can feel cute and stylish.

Nope. Can’t do it. Just thinking about it makes me feel like a Traitor. I am wearing my orange and black Tony jammie bottoms with my Ryan hat and shirt. Or layer the Ryan shirt over a Tony shirt over a Robby shirt. Or vice versa. I am wearing the hat tho.

O.K.

Maybe I won’t look as cute as I want, but I will be rooting for my Driver’s.

**By the way, NEXTEL/SPRINT? The attempt to remove the Motorola Logo on Robby’s car does not exactly make me ~~want to run out and subscribe to your services.~~

NA$CAR? Are your attempts to gain more and more money in your own deals and contracts, going to screw your driver’s out of getting sponsor’s, which would screw you out of money by losing teams? Please. Let’s just get back to racin’. Pretty Please?

As always…As Above, so below.

Tally Ho! Onward LugNutZ!

NASCAR ~ Viva Las Vegas?

Viva Las Vegas.

What happens in Vegas, ~~stays in Vegas. Liars.~~

I am not in Vegas. I am not happy that I am not in Vegas, but I will get over it.

What I want to know today is:

What do my sister Sandy, Osama Bin Laden and Matt Kenseth all have in common?

Scope’s are coming right up. Here is a hint tho… may rule.

Ryan get’s his right now. Sorry I am late, my Rocketman Buddy.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Ryan’s Moon has a lot going on this weekend. Exciting stuff!

Theme: A burst of good energy
Your Moon is conjunct your Sun on race day.During the day you experience something like your personal “new Moon,” a time when your mind and body are recharged for the month ahead. Your feelings may now be very strongly influenced by the larger emotional patterns that dominate your life. Usually this influence is felt as a burst of energy in which will, physical vitality and emotions all work together harmoniously. The split between mind and feelings that often plagues us all is not noticeable now, and your relations with others, particularly in interactions with women, will probably work more smoothly than usual. This is an outward reflection of your inner harmony. Group efforts are very favorably affected by this influence, because it gives you greater sensitivity to the feelings of people around you.

Your Moon trine Mars March 10-11 brings you a lot of inner excitement.Starting this morning you can assert yourself in a positive manner and stand your ground if necessary. You may feel more courage and confidence than usual, which you express by taking the initiative in making emotional contacts with others. You speak very directly and forcefully, but without being offensive, which others will respect you for. This is a good time to work as a leader with groups of people. You understand what is needed, and you can unify your objectives and theirs, usually by talking them around to your point of view. Whenever you talk with others, you radiate an inner excitement, as if you were ready for immediate action. Under this influence you have the capacity to start projects, although you should keep in mind that this is a short-term influence and its effects will not last long.

Moon Sextile Pluto brings a sense of profundity. during the day you desire experience at a very profound level and do not like superficial encounters. With friends and loved ones you seek the true meaning of your feelings for each other. Under this influence, deep-rooted feelings in a relationship are often brought to the surface. This has a therapeutic effect on most relationships, for it releases hidden energies that may be weakening the ties between you. During this time you should be careful not to set an objective for yourself and then become so obsessed by it that you lose track of everything else. Even this rather mild influence can result in a one-track mind and compulsive behavior. If this happens, it is a sign that hidden in this compulsion is a psychological energy that you should try to understand, because it could control some part of your life.

Moon Sextile Ascendant rules your ability to make quick judgements. You are very sensitive to other people’s moods and can judge them quickly. You lend a sympathetic and friendly ear to people’s problems, for you have a strong desire to protect and support your friends emotionally. Peace and harmony in your personal world are very important to you at this time, and you are not willing to deal with someone else’s harsh feelings, except to try to smooth them over. Your sensitivity to other people also enables you to deal easily with groups. You respond to the group’s changes of mood and are able to fit your communication to that mood. Thus this is a good time for any sort of public appearance or situation in which you have to sell something to a group or persuade them of a point of view. You are able to make others feel that you are one of them.

All of these aspect’s are underneath the rule of the main major theme you are going through at this point of your life. This will be the underlying effect until the end of Dec. 2007. This aspect Uranus TrineUranus went into effect the middle of Aril 2006. Just as a little reminder, here it is again:

Major Theme: Setting Sail
During this time in your late twenties, you become conscious that you have grown up. Any structures in your life that have held over from childhood and adolescence appear inappropriate now. You recognize your adulthood and want to take your place among adults and no longer be regarded as a child. You are seeking independence from the factors that limited you as a child, and you are trying to establish your own way of thinking about the world. If during your early adult years prior to this time you were part of a group that tended to think alike, you may no longer want to think that way. That was fine when you were a young adult, relatively insecure in your independence and needing assurance from others. Now you want your own way of thinking.
At this time you are likely to make rather significant changes in your life in order to achieve more perfect self-expression. You may be inclined to throw over an existing personal relationship in order to liberate yourself from the restrictions it imposed and to look for new relationships that will better fit your needs.

The rest are coming soon…

As Above, so below!!

Tally Ho!!

NASCAR ~ Kenseth sweeps California!

Congrat’s to Matt Kenseth for the California sweep! I heard Bab’s screaming clear from TX.

A good broom was needed. Sure was a lot of crap flying round that track.

I was really sorry to see Harvick’s tire “issue”.

Glad Tony and Ryan had a good day.

Very glad David R. is alive and ok.

Really don’t give a rip about Mark Martin.

Glad John Paul the Pope of Motor Sports did not rip into a wall.

Really Glad I didn’t pay to go see that race.

I am always prompt to admit when I am wrong.

I was right on a few calls. I was right about both Jr.’s and some fuel issues. Policy changes? Perhaps. We will see.

I was way wrong on one main point.

California was boring. Very, very…boring.

What I did while watching? the race:

1. Read a good portion of Dr. Laura’s Women Power.

2. Got bored with that.

3. Played a thousand hands of Poker on the computer.

4. Thought about taking a nap while Dale was taking a nap.

5. Promised Dale I would wake him if anything exciting happened. He woke up by himself with 18 to go.

6. Thought about going outside and fixing the plastic on the green house that the wind ripped off during the snow blizzard of the day.

7. Changed my mind.

8. Played more Poker.

9. Played Hearts.

10. Surfed the net a bit and found this post , which was the highlight of the day…

There are going to be a lot of women in trouble if the Govt. ever searches our homes when they have nothing better to do with their time than I did today.

Later Gator’s! It has stopped snowing and I need to go count cows while it is still daylight and make sure the coyotes didn’t eat any cow babie’s while I wasted my time watching that race.

Pay close attention to these, as there is a contest coming up, where the answer’s will be embedded within the ‘scope’s and I will have two winner’s on two different day’s that will receive Dale Jr.’s new BACK IN THE DAY complete Season One DVD set. No just in case you are wondering, I do not get paid a penny for this click through ad.

Who should we do first? Well, Tony, Ryan and Jr., and of course!! Robby Gordon’s 6 month ‘scope has already been done and you can find it here…

So…here we go…the first half of the 2007 season Astro-Forecast’s. (**in italic orange denotes my commentary)

Tony Stewart, born on 20 May 1971

The report was generated for 6 months starting from January 2007 with the following birth data: male, born on 20 May 1971 in Columbus, Indiana.
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 Aries. (**This may denote a bit of determination and stubbornness)

Pluto square Pluto Theme: Which category? (**You will notice as we go that several of the driver’s have this transit in their aspect’s for the next six months. Also note when this aspect started and ended for Tony. Thought I would just throw it in for hindsight.)
Beginning of February 2006 until beginning of December 2007: This is a period of general regeneration, which may not be entirely pleasant. Most of us are attached to the past whether or not it is good for us. And this influence will root out precisely those elements of the past that are not good for you, even those aspects that you have forgotten about. Problems that you may have lost track of entirely but which are still working unconsciously in your life may reappear and become active now, usually but not always to your detriment.
This influence is associated with forces for change that are inherent within the hidden depths of things. Therefore you should not blame the unpleasant changes that occur now on circumstances or persons in your environment. Look within yourself to see how the groundwork for the present is laid in the past.
Many things may be destroyed at this time, and the destruction will be ruthless if you defend them with rigidity. The action of this influence upon unyielding entities is particularly harsh. Therefore you should simply allow the things of the past to fade and allow the future to be born on their ruins. If you can do this, the potential for positive change is very great.
This influence may also increase your concern about the creative and regenerative processes within the universe and cause you to become interested in the occult. However, certain aspects of the occult, such as magic, are best avoided during this time, because the energies involved will be difficult to control now. Although your conscious mind may be in control at first, you are likely to find that entirely unconscious forces within you have taken over and are running you completely. This can have disastrous consequences.
You may also get into severe power struggles with people who are trying to prevent the changes in your life or who are trying to expedite changes that you are resisting. Look very carefully to ascertain which category they are in.

Neptune square MC:
Theme: Apparent defeats (**Again for hindsight) Beginning of March 2006 until end of December 2007: This time in your life is likely to be confusing and full of doubt and fear, if you are not very secure about your life direction. You will ask fundamental questions about what you are trying to do with your life as a whole. And if you, like many people, are not living for yourself and your own objectives, you will probably conclude that what you are doing is worthless and pointless. Even at best you will question your planned course.
In dealing with others, you may find it difficult to stand up for your own position because you are questioning it so much yourself. You may allow yourself to become the victim of other people, simply because you lack the confidence to fight back. But a far worse effect of this influence is that you might get into a routine of making yourself seem to be victim in order to gain others’ sympathy. It is difficult to take responsibility when you are feeling insecure. For this same reason there is a strong temptation to avoid direct confrontations with others for fear that you cannot stand up to them. Therefore you may try to get what you want from people in covert or subversive ways, usually involving some kind of dishonesty. Needless to say, this will only worsen your insecurity, not give you more confidence.
But all of the above concerns the worst side of this influence, which does have something positive to teach you. Even as you suffer apparent defeats, you may discover that what you are losing is not really anything significant. You may learn that the needs of your ego are not your real needs at all. Under this influence some persons find a capacity for selfless action and spiritual self-denial that makes it impossible for them ever to lose in a way that hurts them. In that case you will learn that there is really nothing to lose. This influence can be the gateway to a very highly evolved spiritual understanding, and it is quite likely that you will become increasingly involved with spiritual teachings and disciplines. However, it is possible to go off the deep end spiritually, and this influence may very well delude you into doing so. But in the long run this is one of its less dangerous traps.

Saturn square MC: Theme: An evaluation of goals
Beginning of September 2006 until beginning of June 2007:
This is a challenging time in your life. You will have to make many choices about what areas of your life to emphasize. Will you work to build up a new career or continue to build upon a current one? Will you work to make your personal life as satisfying as possible? Will you work collectively with many other people or by yourself?
Often there is an “alienation crisis” with this influence, a sudden feeling of being cut off from everyone else, as if you have spent too much energy pursuing purely personal goals. This in turn generates loneliness and a feeling of being distant from others, even loved ones. Or you may suddenly feel that you no longer have the strength to go on in the direction you have chosen. Fears of your own inadequacies may distort your perspective. All of this is most likely to happen if you have neglected personal relationships in your life. You cannot go on forever without supportive emotional relationships, and you may have been trying to do so.
Sometimes this influence can have the opposite result, and you discover that various personal entanglements have been interfering with the pursuit of your valid goals. In this case you will break off relationships and gain the freedom to go your own way. The issue here is the balance between personal relationships and advancement in life.
On another tack, this period can test your choice of goals. You may encounter opposition from others that forces you to examine whether your goals are really valid for you. If they are, the conflict with other persons or against trying circumstances will be useful. But if you find that your heart is not really in the path you have chosen, you may have to make adjustments and change your course of action. It is far better to do this now than several years from now, when you may be overcommitted to an inappropriate course and discover that you are trapped. Now is the time to change. It may not be pleasant, but it is possible.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant:
Theme: Following through
Beginning of November 2006 until beginning of August 2007: This is one of the most significant times of your life. During this time your responsibilities will increase considerably, and you will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling them. Therefore your life will become more complex and simpler at the same time. You are finishing up certain tasks in your life and going into a five- to eight-year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning. You will be cutting some elements out of your life and working hard to complete others.
During this time you may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done. Old tasks that have never been completed must be finished now. At work, you may have to exert more effort in order to get the job done. Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have. This may not be a very light-hearted time, but it should be quite productive. But do not start out on a completely new project, because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it. Finish what is unfinished and simplify your life.
Good relationships will not suffer appreciably during this time, but bad ones will break up completely. You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is unnecessary or in the way of your development during the next few years. Bad or difficult relationships may be among the elements that are discarded.
Try to avoid building a wall between yourself and others, for this is a great danger now. Duty, responsibility and obligations do not preclude personally satisfying relationships, even though you may feel that they do. If you cut yourself off from others unnecessarily, you will become lonely and depressed. The people who belong in your everyday life are very important for you now, especially since you are excluding those who do not belong. Often it is good to seek out the company and advice of older people, for they have the insight and understanding you need.
Jupiter sextile Mars: Independent initiative (**again for hindsight) A transit approaching its end, from 27 December 2006, remaining until 6 January 2007: This is a time of high energy and independent initiative. You feel very self- confident and capable of tackling almost anything within reason. It is a good time to start a project, and most activities that you take up now should have a successful outcome. However, you must take some positive action in order to get the most out of this influence. It brings you opportunities, but you have to pick them up. However, this should not be much of a problem because this influence usually makes you feel like taking action. You are unusually clear now about what you intend to do in any situation. Your will is strong, and you aim at achieving certain very definite goals. You can act decisively and with conviction. Under an influence like this you can convince other people of your point of view and get them to follow your lead. In fact, this is an unusually good time for working with other people because you can get others to identify their interests with yours. Everything you do is aimed at enlarging your sphere of interests. You do not act out of petty motives, always having high-minded and high-level goals in mind. Others will respect your obvious integrity, which will make them more willing to help you. If you have to go to a court of law at this time, the proceedings should turn out to your benefit. In fact, the chances are that you will be able to work out a compromise that will be advantageous to both parties. Professional success is likely at this time, because of your excellent sense of timing and your ability to take advantage of every opportunity that comes along. You should be able to advance yourself without alienating others. They will recognize that your success is well deserved. Jupiter sextile Uranus: Theme: A favorable change Beginning of January 2007 until end of August 2007: At this time you desire to make positive changes in your life that will lead to greater knowledge and experience. While the energy of this influence is not usually disruptive, it does make you impatient with the routine limitations under which you normally live. You will probably try to make changes in your immediate environment in order to deal with this impatience. It is also quite possible that the changes will occur more or less spontaneously, with little effort on your part. This influence can be mentally very exciting. You are attracted to new ideas that are challenging in a positive way. Not only are you receptive to them, but you can grasp them more easily than usual. Often under this influence you are able to solve difficult problems in your life because you can approach them from a fresh perspective. You may develop an interest in science or other technical disciplines. Social reform is another area that you might be attracted to, feeling that the old solutions are not adequate. Also, sudden opportunities may arise, such as a sudden financial gain or a sudden job promotion that will allow you to do much more than you have done before. This influence may also tempt you to take chances with finances by speculating or gambling. In a larger sense, it is difficult to say precisely what you can expect during this time because the nature of this influence is so unpredictable. But you can expect some occurrence that will materially alter your plans for the immediate future, and you can expect that it will be a favorable change. Your immediate future is likely to have many more possibilities than are apparent now.

So…back in a bit with somebody’s scope….
Tally Ho!!
