Developing Our Psychic Ability:
Why and How?
by Cathy H. Burroughs
A psychic reading is not just about career
opportunities, good fortune or meeting tall, dark
strangers. It is a sacred portal to manifesting your
true destiny. ~ Anthon St. Maarten
I wasn’t always psychic, I often joke, and never planned
this to be my career of choice. I was, in fact,
“universally recruited.” I’ll never forget when I first
started reading in Underground Atlanta. After a
particularly heartfelt somewhat esoteric tarot reading,
the young woman got up abruptly and began to walk away,
saying, “I don’t have any idea what you’re talking
about? I just want to know how tall is he, what does he
look like, what’s his name and when’s he gonna show
up?!”
It was then I realized I’d better hone my psychic
capacity so I could more aptly respond to people’s
desires and queries who crossed my path as I followed my
own mysterious path of unfoldment. Actually the quest
for spiritual guidance is a time honored tradition. Even
the ancients sought illumination from oracles, omens,
visions and the stars.
People often ask why it is useful to develop their
intuitive gifts. I answer that I believe we are all born
intuitive just as we all have five senses. Many have
already experienced remembering past lives, seeing
spirits, deceased relatives, having prophetic dreams or
premonitions. Others just know when someone will call or
when something just doesn’t feel right. These are
already our gut instincts and intuition at work.
Within the parameters of our busy lives, there is little
support or even acknowledgement of this invisible
metaphysical or supernatural realm, never mind our
contact with it. By taking time to unlock and enhance
our access and abilities we benefit by strengthening our
1) clarity and authenticity 2) personal power and
spiritual awareness, 3) gut instincts and emotional IQ;
3) wisdom and effectiveness personally and
professionally; 4) insight into our personal patterns as
well as 5) a deeper connection to and understanding of
the overarching nature of life.
Types of Psychic Ability
Just as a musician practices regularly, when we do the
same with our intuition we become more proficient.
Psychic information filters through the third eye with
visual images and associations (clairvoyance), audible
messages (clairaudience), feelings (clairsentience),
knowing (claircognizance) and sometimes, even smell (clairalience).
Mediumship is another mode that allows us to reach the
deceased. Some theorize there is actually an archive
where all that has been or will be is stored in the
astral known as the Akashic Record.
Spiritual Guides, Techniques and Tools
You may have heard that we all have a team of guides
that assist us with lessons and objectives of this
incarnation. These guides can be evolved human beings
that sign on to help point the way, well known
individuals who resonate with our work, master teachers
like Christ or Buddha, as well as saints, sages,
deceased relatives, totem animals, angels, archangels
and others.
Practical exercises can boost our skill like automatic
writing; reading objects (psychometry) or auras, working
with the lunar cycles, intent and dreams, even creating
customized rituals. Validating tools such as applied
kinesiology (muscle testing) or dowsing (working with a
pendulum) test our acuity, assuring us we are
consistently receiving accurate information. Some prefer
to work with tools like the tarot, I Ching, palmistry,
runes, scrying and astrology; while others find
energetic methods like alternative healing/clearing,
hypnosis, past life or pre natal regression are
catalysts to release blocks, contracts, vows, oaths and
trauma that have outlived their usefulness.
A few psychic primers will jump start your inquiry:
Rosemary Altea’s The Eagle and the Rose; James
Redfield’s books especially The Celestine Prophecy;
Doreen Virtue’s The Lightworkers's Way; Brian Weiss’s
Many Lives Many Masters and James Van Praagh’s Talking
to Heaven, to name a few. To learn more check out
workshops and classes throughout your area metaphysical

Remember in the words of Wayne Gerard Trotman, author of
Veterans of the Psychic Wars, Growth of consciousness
does not depend on the might of the intellect but on the
conviction of the heart.

Spiritual Love in Astrology
by Cathy Burroughs
July 2014
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways? – Elizabeth
Barrett Browning
Astrology is one of the most compelling metaphysical
tools for understanding the hidden secrets in
relationships and relationship dynamics. Spiritual love
is one of the most mysterious connections we experience.
This type of love often transcends our traditional
notions of and may not easily fit into any clear
category. The nature of spiritual relationships can be
categorized by unconditional love or by more challenging
soul level connections for our own evolution and growth.
In astrology there are many layers to understanding
relationships are built on an entire spectrum of
possibilities. Some of these can be discovered in a
technique called synastry where we compare two charts to
find the many linkages between them that create an
impression of a third entity ~ the relationship itself.
Here are some of the basic cosmic building blocks in an
astrological birth chart that create powerful spiritual
connections:
The Nodes are two polar opposites in a chart that
indicate our soul level lessons in this incarnation. The
South Node, which looks like a chalice, indicates past
life gifts, past life relationships, unresolved karma or
an unfulfilled spiritual contract or lesson. The North
Node, which looks like a headphone, indicate that the
individual may be a spiritual teacher for the other
individual, help them to move along the path of their
destined purpose or soul objective. This shows a
potential future together.
Venus connections between two charts show affinity,
affection, appreciation and shared values and may create
a sense of kindred spirits or like-minded individuals.
Neptune is the higher vibrational frequency of Venus and
is associated with unconditional love, enlightened
appreciation, total fusion, and spiritual acceptance and
healing.
Saturn connections hold people together in a way that is
difficult to break but often brings lessons,
restrictions, discipline, structure and may indicate a
past life contract or work to be done together.
Jupiter is a planet of expansion, happiness,
celebration, learning, fun and multi-dimensional access.
It celebrates the family history, international travel,
adventure, risk, joy, fulfillment, and shared spiritual
values and ethics.
Pluto is associated with soul level connections that are
extremely intense, sometimes obsessive and may be all
consuming.
Chiron (a comet that is a lesser known connection) can
bring connections in healing relationships, create a
bridge from the old way of life to the new; also
according to Magi Astrology Chiron connections create
soul mate linkages that do not always need to be
romantic in nature.
Remember each one of the planets also have a shadow
side. For example, the lower vibrational function of the
South Node contacts can be dysfunction, addiction or a
feeling of captivity. Venus contacts may make for over
indulgence or gluttony while Neptune can bring
confusion, illusion or deception. A darker expression of
Saturn can be too much criticism and not enough
appreciation and support. Pluto contacts may indicate
control, tyranny, and even violence, and too much
Jupiter can be too much fun and not enough productivity.
The Sign that the Planet is in plays a key role,
additionally as does the house placement. Spiritual
relationships generally show up in the water houses: the
4th house of home will feel like family; the 8th will
indicate a supernatural or profound soul level affinity
and the 12th will indicate past life and future life
connections, and is transcendent, perhaps one of the
most elusive spiritual realms available to us on the
earth plane. This contact can create one of the most
deeply spiritual contacts known, but may promote
escapism or make practical expression challenging.
These soul level or spiritual connections may occur in
traditional romantic relationships but also between
family members, best or close friends, mentor/student, a
guru, a writer to whom you feel a deep kinship, even a
beloved pet or a geographic location. I hope this gives
you a few clues to understanding the mysterious
underpinnings and subtleties of our spiritual
connections and how astrology can shed light on them.
Happy Birthday,
Sun Sign!

Understanding Aries
(March 21-April 20)
by Cathy H. Burroughs
Happy Birthday,
courageous Aries. As the Evel Knievel of the Zodiac, your
birthday marks the Vernal Equinox and the beginning of
Spring. As the natural ruler of the first house of self, you
are particularly attuned to the seasons and natural cycles
of nature, the stars and society. The part of the body that
governs Aries energy is the head (picture the butting head
of the ram or a bucking bronco, and you get the idea).
The fiery initiating Cardinal
leader Aries is the great pioneer, warrior, risk- taker,
breaker-of-new ground and a goer “where angels fear to
tread.” They love to jumpstart initiatives and get things
rolling, especially if they are new, original or have never
been done before.
Then, they’ll hand it off to
one of the other more task-completion oriented of the
Zodiac, such as the fixed and tenacious Aquarius, Taurus,
Scorpio or Taurus or the more malleable mutable Pisces,
Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius.
Ruled by Mars the god of war,
the ever-youthful Aries is the action hero of the Zodiac,
aggressive, assertive, sexy, who will lead without caring
one iota whether anyone is behind them or not. Aries make
great entrepreneurs, courageous investors, adventurous
outdoors people and explorers who love a career which
requires risk, fearlessness and start-ups. They can also the
great babies of the Zodiac, with a “me first” attitude which
at times may lead to a preoccupation with self that may be
problematic when another is involved but can also be great
leaders and generous and helpful with their time, energy and
resources.
Their natural counterpart is
the Venus-ruled (as in the John Gray help book for the sexes
Men are fromMars; Women are from Venus)harmonious and conciliatory Libra who may grow weary
doing all the accommodating and compromising. Aries like to
set the agenda, cut to the chase and often are known to say
things like, “stop shilly shalling”, “get on with it”, “I
can’t be bothered,” and “your point is???” It was probably
an impatient Ram copywriter who penned the great Nike
slogan, “Just Do It;” or the cartoonist t-shirt that
bemoaned the fact that “Everybody’s always getting in my
way.”
Sometimes impatient, reckless, impetuous, aggressive or
argumentative, the action-oriented Aries person will not
dilly dally, with get things done, are as productive as hell
and don’t have the time to go through bureaucracy, red tape
and can’t (always) be bothered to build consensus. Perhaps
this is why owners of red cars (associated with Martian
assertiveness may be a bit more accident prone and…
candidates for road rage?) may be paying the higher
insurance premiums?
While the impetuous and goal-oriented Aries loves the
dynamic energy of the other fire signs (Leo and Sag), there
is generally a power struggle as to who gets to decide what
is done and when, especially between (guess who?) that
fixed, mirror-gazing Leotine of the jungle. Aries generally
enjoys the company of the compatible and detached air signs
(Aquarius, Gemini and Libra). A word to the wise should be
sufficient: in love and lust, the testosterone-heavy (no
matter what gender) Ram loves the chase. It is the
challenge, not the conquering that keeps a passionate, hot,
hot, hot stag coming back for more.
Understanding Taurus
April 21st - - May
20th
By Cathy H. Burroughs
One of my
best friends Deb is a fixed earthy Taurus with a capital T.
Financially, she is prone toward having all past checks
organized in perfectly constructed boxes in alpha, chron
order and cross referenced by subject. Her apartment while
decorated on a shoestring is absolutely mesmerizing. Swath
of fabric create a romantic and diaphanous boudoir
atmosphere, with Christmas lights, candles and unusual
creative touches everywhere, many handmade or created by
artist friends.
Her
bathroom is filled with an exotic and unusual soap
collection with a changing array of cosmetics and adornments
all decorously arranged. Her gastronomic talents are second
to none. Whatever the foodstuff, she has a way of
transforming it to nectar of the gods. She works in a museum
(of course), has a fabulous fashion sense and creates
extravagant and stylish balls and special events. These
galas are festooned with the most unusual and brightly
colored fresh flower arrangements and sumptuous and
irresistible banquets to satisfy the most prick of palettes.
She does this, together with running a well-oiled
performance operation.
At
Christmas time, watch-out, cause it is Project City. With
funky and creative decorations, multi-colored papers, twines
of every variety, cards and unusual gifts, she customized
each on with the waft of her magic glue gun. Even her
morning Java is magical, brewed from a cappuccino machine
with a flavor unsurpassed by any Starbucks Emporium this
side of the Rockies.
She has an
investment portfolio and a retirement plan. Her Cabriolet is
regularly maintained and the leather seats regularly
polished. In short, when it comes to the sensual and
practical details of life, she is non-parried and she brings
a special flair to everything in her blessed sphere.
Her life is
Feng Shui, animated: homage to the senses. Never mind that
she is anathema to change, rarely makes and impetuous
decision (always asks for her requisite 48-hours for any
major consideration) and can be cranky as all get out, all
that surrounds her is beauty, grace and style…The reliable
and steadfast earthy Taurus is fixed, with a perseverance
that just won’t quit. The down side is that they can be
resistant, stubborn and unbending and once committed to a
course of action, have trouble changing gears. They may move
slowly or ploddingly, depending upon their planetary
influences and are ruled by the lovely Venus, goddess of the
arts, love, partnership and beauty.
Taurus
rules the neck and throat, as well as the cervical
vertebrae, and some Bull persons make their living from
their inspired warblings, including, Barbara Streisand,
Sheena Easton and Tammy Wynette.
The
safeguards of the Earth’s resources, Taurus rules the second
house of money, possessions, real estate and sensual values
and enjoys working in the arts, gardening in the fashion or
beauty industries, with food, conservation, finances and
real estate. Most compatible with their earth signs (Virgo
and Capricorn), they groove with the watery Pisces, Cancer
and Scorpio, their passionate polar opposite. No stranger to
power struggles, they tend to lock horns with fixed Aquarius
and Leo, but once ensconced in a secure and nourishing
relationship are loyal and devoted and prefer constancy and
consistency.
Other
famous Bulls include make-up maven Mary Kay Ash; chief
extroadinare (and don’t hold the sauce) James Beard; UK
honcho Tony Blair, waifish and elegant star Audrey Hepburn;
the sometimes outlandish Dennis Rodman; silent movie idol
Rudolph Valentino; producer David O. Selznick and movie
mogul/genius Orson Wells.
