        October 1, 2019 A "Rebirth of our Explorative Communications Insights
        Newsletters" and "Early Autumn Greetings" to You! There is always
        something interesting about creating a new beginning during
        the early part of the fall season when "parts of life are dying
        to be reborn again".
 
 I've been through a lot since my last Exp.
        Com. newsletter that I sent out May 1, 2017.  I nearly lost my
        life to a totally unexpected cardiac arrest on the afternoon of
        Saturday, May 27, 2017 @ 3:35 PM PDT.  I was running in Sutro Park
        with the intention of running back when I collapsed while overlooking
        the ocean on that mild spring afternoon.  Fortunately, there were
        many people in the park at the time and with the CPR, the paramedic
        response, and hospitalization followed by various treatments, I
        survived.  I'm still considering the
        astrological indications relating to my natal chart at that time and
        the associations haven't quite surfaced.  After substantial rest
        and recovery, I returned to my full-time work. I'm
        not aware of crossing over however I had one very interesting synchronitial experience with my soulmate
        Karlene.  I'd be open to elaborating on
        that more.
 
 On September 13, 2017, my father passed away and my brother and I
        became extensively involved in memorial administration and plans. 
        This brought family, relatives, and friends together and I was able to
        write and share a summary of his life and what he meant to me, our
        family, and the community.
 
 Following this, my brother and I embarked on selling our family home
        which kept us busy communicating and negotiating for several months
        until we reluctantly sold our family home of nearly 50 years on May 8,
        2018.  It was a sad day but part of the many life changes underway
        in life.  My extended family and friends have many rich and deep memories
        we shared just east of Walla Walla, Washington.
 
 In September 2018, that same year, I embarked on a new adventure of
        buying my own home on a piece of property in Southwest Port Angeles,
        Washington.  On a recent vacation one year later in September 2019,
        I was able to visit my new property and our former family
        property.  Although I will miss things about San Francisco, I'm looking forward to living on the northern
        Olympic Peninsula of Western Washington.  It will be kind of like
        coming back home.
 
 In yet another major life change is that ,
        I've retired from my full time work at a medical center for the past 27
        years.  I supported medical research administration at the
        facility for the past 11.5 years.  This is allowing me to take
        time to take classes, continue my volunteer work, focus on my small
        business, travel, read, do my creative arts, and rest.  I have
        been just as busy since I retired but it is opening some new doors to
        enjoy a greater experience of life.

        | An
        Astrological View of Current Times
 
 I probably do not
        need to convince you that we are living in some very unusual and
        challenging times personally, professional, and politically. It won't be long before Mercury enters Scorpio and Mars
        enters Libra.  There is naturally a strong emphasis on personal
        and professional relationships with Venus in Libra along with the Sun, Mercury,  and Mars.  When Mercury
        moves into Scorpio, we'll feel a tendency
        toward deeper and more intense thinking, analysis, and research. 
        As we head into mid-late October and additional planets begin
        moving into Scorpio, there'll be an increased
        emphasis on withdrawing within.  This correlates with the change
        of season with  increasing darkness
        and the gradual march toward the Winter Solstice in December. 
 Jupiter will remain in Sagittarius until  December 5th.  Wherever this falls
        in your birth chart, take advantage of the abundance of whatever gifts
        this brings you.  Many of us find it easy for Jupiter to be
        overlooked, quiet, or invisible so it seems that even with this "lucky"
        planet, we need to provide the work needed to set up the conditions to
        make things happen.  What I find is that Jupiter expands
        everything in abundance, positively, negatively, or even both. Jupiter
        has a way of bringing that to us.
 
 Now with Uranus retrograde in early
        Taurus, there is much general focus on change, unexpected occurrences,
        and the potential for brilliance in areas involving finance, agriculture and tangible goods. Changes may
        occur suddenly, be ushered into the scene, and then disappear as
        quickly as they entered.  I really think Uranus in Taurus is going
        to be an incredibly interesting time, but good old-fashioned common
        sense and logic will need to be used sensibly. Where is Uranus in your
        birth chart?
 
 With Neptune in Pisces, we'll continue to see greater emphasis on some very
        emotional, nebulous, and invisible types of things.  The opioid
        epidemic, teen and veteran suicide, unusual hard-to-diagnose outbreaks,
        and difficult to trace activity in our government / administration will
        continue to be illusive. On the positive side, spirituality and science
        will gradually come closer to being bridged over the coming
        years.  This comes through when surgical operating staff see
        tangible evidence of spirit visitation on the "other
        side".  There is much more coming....."be
        observant and stay tuned".

 I'm once
          again I want to explore how to launch adding my
          "Explorative Communications Insights Newsletters" into a
          new sub-domain within my  "www.ExplorativeCommunications.com"
          website.  Different parts of my small business are included on
          my website but my newsletters are not yet
          available there. 
 I'm going to be taking a class beginning in
          October 2019 on "Building Individual Websites and Blogs"
          which will be valuable for my relatively non-Geeky mind.  I
          am looking forward to being able to add the new
          "Index" sub-domain, the "htaccess"
          file, and images to link to my site so they're
          viewable.  Slow progress is being made and life often takes
          patience.  Recommendations are also welcome.

          | An Overview of
          the USA and Current Astrological Trends
 
 As in the
          photo above taken while traveling through the Black Hills of South
          Dakota, life in USA politics has its ups and downs in its own
          evolution just as people and other entities do.  There are
          several factors highlighting money and our national values.  If
          we look at the often-utilized USA Sibley chart using July 4, 1776
          5:14 PM in Philadelphia, PA, the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury fall
          in the 10th house in Libra at the time of this summary.  The
          10th house  places a tremendous
          amount of emphasis on the nation's leadership, its public image, that
          which is publicly viewable, and its visible
          public reputation. 
 There's a lot of emphasis on finances as
          well.  Pluto is in the early stages of progressing through the
          USA 2nd house of money and values.  Due to the current
          presidency including questions about integrity, the future economy,
          in-depth discussion and research being done
          about the ethics and legality of certain actions taken by Donald
          Trump, there are untested questions about what one person, this
          president can perform without violating the U.S. Constitution and the
          laws of the U.S.  The USA is heading toward its Pluto return in
          the 2nd house of the Sibley chart. Recently Retrograde Saturn in
          Capricorn has also  been in opposition
          to the USA Cancer Sun stressing our 7th house foreign affairs area by
          bringing serious differences of opinion about dealing with other
          countries and international enemies. Now, the question of how much
          power the Executive branch should have to seek information about
          opposing candidates has arisen.  This is a question we have
          never faced with any other American president.  In fact,
          who would have thought that the "Whistleblower" on this
          would be accused of "treason" and would actually
          face threats within the USA?!?
 
 Meanwhile as Neptune continues to transit through the USA 3rd house
          of communications including writing, articles, and media, no one
          knows exactly what to believe and there are many
          "unknowns".  The major aspect that so many astrologers
          are anticipating in the future is the Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto
          conjunction beginning around mid-January 2020. This is likely to be a
          monumental and pivotal time period with the
          spotlight shining brightly on finances and values within the USA and
          its future.   We shall see.

          | The Continual
          Cycles of Astrology
 One of the
          things that fascinates me the most is the cycles with which astrology
          occurs.  There are the faster planets including the Moon which
          orbits the planet Earth approximately once every 30+ days. 
          There are the medium-distant planets that are
          able to make several cycles of orbit around the Sun during our
          lifetimes including Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.  And then there
          are the Outer planets that may not even make a complete cycle around
          the Sun and the zodiac signs that we track in our lifetime including
          Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
 
 A significant point to note related to cycles is what makes astrology
          very interesting when it comes to affecting
          people, organizations, and nations.  It's
          very basic yet it becomes equally very complex in a hurry.  When
          planets pass through various astrological signs, houses, and make
          aspects to natal planets all at various dates and times, it makes for
          a very interesting mix of conditions. 
          As if it is drawing low, medium, and high levels of biorhythmic
          energy, motivation, social - love, financial skill, and
          health over the short and long term, each of our natal charts
          are being affected.  This is a factor that makes astrology
          so complex and potentially confusing.  This is also one of the
          primary factors that cause many people to want to keep their distance
          from astrology....it's Not a "black and
          white science".
 
 Another significant factor is that astrology has a reputation of being
          used as a form of entertainment paralleling "Hollywood" fun
          and games that are known especially well through the "Daily
          Horoscopes" that we are used to reading in the newspaper or in
          other publications.  Yes, there is an element of truth and value
          available through daily horoscopes but they
          will naturally be more general.  I personally enjoy looking at
          the complexity of individual birth charts and the various transits
          and trends that take place from day to day, week to week, month to
          month, and year to year.  These different cycles all
          contain value, may intersect in some cases, and have impact with
          their own degree of intensity and in their own unique ways. This is
          one reason why astrology is so infinite and sometimes unquantifiable.
 
 The tightness of the orb of the conjunction, square, opposition,
          sextile, or trine, the planets being affected, and nature of the
          natal chart are all factors as to how the individual or nation
          will be affected.  That's why when
          people have many major aspects at once, especially associated with
          certain natal planets and placements, there can be numerous major
          life changes all within a notable period of time.  We've either
          experienced this ourselves or known of people who were hit with a
          string of life events happening almost rhythmically time after
          time.  These may include what we perceive as negative and
          positive events. Hence, cycles are among the factors that make
          astrology a very interesting
          field.
