Do We Control Our Karma or That of Others?
Often times I hear my clients tell me they just couldn’t wait for karma to ripen – they had to intervene to get a jump on the revenge. How is it that the “bad” always seem to get away with their bad behavior but the good always get the short end of the stick? Well, maybe that’s not always the case, but it sure can feel like it. Boyfriends who cheat on their girlfriends seem to leave for the other girl and live happily ever after. Business partners who work unethically seem to walk away with more money and no consequences. How is it that these individuals can get away with all of this without karma coming back to bite them hard? Simply put, things are not always as they seem.
Let’s start with a definition—karma is the law of moral causation. Our fate is due not only to heredity, environment, “nature and nurture,” but also to karma. In other words, it is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven or Hell. We are the architects of our own fate. It is very important to note that free will plays a large part in our destiny. For, if our outcome relied solely on our previous actions, then free will would be a moot point and karma would be tied to fatalism and predetermination. Therefore, karma cradles a harmonious balance of free will, past actions and present doings.

Think Like (and Become) a Happy Person
May 20, 2013 at 12:00 amThe Secret to Happiness
According to Dr. George E. Vaillant, MD and author of Spiritual Evolution: How We Are Wired For Faith, Hope And Love, “Aging happy and well is at least under some personal control.” In other words, we have the ability to control our own happiness, at least some of the time. And while it may be impossible to be joyful all of the time, there are a few things happy people know, that we could all benefit from.
Happiness is Love
“Happiness is love” says Dr. Vaillant. “The only thing that really matters in life is your relations to other people.” The love Valliant is referring to is your affection for family, friends, and/or your mate. Most people should be able to attain at least one of these three types of love, so happiness, to some degree, should be possible for everyone, depending on how they choose to perceive their life. Happy people maintain strong connections with others. If there was ever a true secret to happiness, it would be fostering as many friendships as you possibly can.

As brainy Mercury hooks up with voluptuous Venus, repartee between the sexes can produce some enticing interludes, especially during the weekend.

Best days for socializing: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Mind Your Thoughts for a Better Life
One of the basic principles of metaphysics states that we create the experience of our reality through our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. So how does this relate to the areas of prosperity and abundance? Prosperity and abundance can take many forms, and the most obvious one is financial prosperity. We can also have an abundance of friends and good relationships, heath and good life experiences such as travel.
Our current state of prosperity and abundance accurately reflects our beliefs about ourselves and our place in the world. If you have areas in your life where you would like to be more abundant, the best place to start is to examine your thoughts and beliefs about that area. If you looked at those areas in your life in which you are satisfied, you will find confidence, positive beliefs and little or no worries and doubts. In the areas you feel need improvement, the opposite beliefs are most likely present—negative beliefs such as unworthiness, fear of failure, and a general lack of confidence.
Astrology: Are You Built for Commitment?
May 19, 2013 at 12:00 amCommitment by Sign
Certain people are more suited to coupling. Others are in love with the idea of love, but struggle to actually settle down. Where do you fall? Well look no further because here’s your stance on commitment by sign:
Aries
While it’s easy to presume aggressive Aries isn’t interested in the long haul, nothing could be further from the truth. The catch is compatibility. An Aries needs a partner in crime. Given that, they’re loyal to the core.
Taurus
Vulnerability is the only thing that stands in the way of a Taurus looking to commit. These gentle souls long for a long-term relationship, but since they fear being hurt, they may be slow to settle down.

Embracing Love
Neha from New Dehli, India asks:
I absolutely love your articles and responses to people’s questions. I am an attractive, educated and independent woman. I fell in love with the only man I ever fell in love with 15 years ago and married him. My marriage has been largely good with the regular ups and downs that come with two people loving and living with each other. And then destiny placed someone in front of me a few months ago and I started feeling the same stirrings that I felt 15 years ago.
God knows I tried to control my emotions but I kept falling for this person with abandon. I took the initiative and approached him; I was duly reciprocated. I took it to the level desired, i.e., physical intimacy. I enjoyed it, and never felt a whiff of guilt because I am following my heart and feel genuine love and respect for this person. But I think for this person the attraction towards me is more physical than emotional. There is not much common ground for a stable footing. He’s my heart’s indulgence but I know that I am not his. I cannot break away. Why am I so drawn to him? How can I disconnect? I don’t want to hurt my heart because I feel there’s no future other than physical pleasure.

Someone Needs a Visit From the Cleaning Fairy
Are you being hit by the cleaning fairy lately? Yeah, me too. The first three months of a new year is usually the time I feel compelled to purge my home of anything that doesn’t match my energy and no longer fits into my home and/or life. This includes old pictures, letters, unfinished writings and other useless crap I’ve accumulated over time. I guess fall is coming a little early for me this year because the cleaning fairy is using me as a ball for her batting practice. I’m getting nailed left and right with the urge to purge.
And, it’s not just me. Family, friends and clients have contacted me with their stories and they all seem to sound the same, “Oh my God I had to clean and I found this old artifact from my past so I decided to strip my house of all the crap!” It’s different for me, though. I got rid of most of the stuff from my past when I moved into this home—everything, but my couch.
