Astrological Answers by Albert Clayton Gaulden

Let’s take a closer look…

I am going to make this short and sweet: the Super Tuesday Primary Elections on February 5th—which usually reveal what two candidates have the inside edge to be presidential nominees for both the Democrats and the Republicans—will happen under the shadow of a Solar Eclipse New Moon on February 6^th, where the personal planets, Moon, Chiron, Sun, Mercury, Neptune and the North Node will all be in Aquarius, the astrological birth sign of three of the greatest Presidents in the history of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Aquarius is the sign of the world’s greatest communicators, full of compassion dedicated to sisterhood/brotherhood through innovative vision. Could this be an omen that true statesmen will emerge from the year-long dog fight? A Solar Eclipse New Moon can portend a new beginning with hope and conciliation. The only caveat is that the devil deceiver Neptune will be conjuncting these planets as well.

My assessment: We may not have the clear front-runner that Super Tuesday usually brings. Neptune may be a spoiler. However somewhere in the pack a true leader could catch a wave to frontrunner status, someone who will stop the infighting and morph into someone who cares more about saving our country than he or she does for playing the power game.

Three planets, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto will be in Capricorn, a no-nonsense, “show me the beef” sign, which rewards those who offer a carefully executed platform with vetted solutions for voters to wrap their clear heads around—not  hot air hype dished up by silver tongued devils who are currently in the pack of wanna-be presidents. All the canoodling these candidates have been stooping to, like crying on camera, mud slinging, pointing fingers and trying to control the masses with pot loads of charisma, will be lost on voters.

May I offer a humble suggestion to the tired and frazzled horses in the race? Spend a few donated dollars on think tank insights; convene brilliant minds with statesmanship that crosses party lines. Stop wasting money on self-aggrandizing TV ads that slander your opponents and self-servingly toot your own horn. I may be a cockeyed, optimistic “pinhead” (you know where I got that nomenclature from, now don’t you?) but I think that we would rather have a one-party system that can bring back economic stability than a two-party club that cancels each other’s programs  due to bigheaditis and out-of-bound egos. We yearn for inspiring and riveting words like we heard from John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King—substance over style—solutions not empty rhetoric. We all need to pay the price to accomplish peace and harmony and economic wellbeing, even the uber rich—and to restore a foreign policy that lets the world know that we love our neighbors, that we are going to turn the other cheek and we are going to be more Gandhi-like in how we meet the world.

Who will emerge victorious on Super Tuesday? Only God knows, but expect some real surprises—humdingers and barnburners—mournful wailing and gnashing of teeth.

A member of the National Association of Transpersonal Psychology and the American Federation of Astrologers, Gaulden founded the Sedona Intensive, a personal growth and empowerment program, to help clients retrieve their authentic selves and tap into their inner power.

Gaulden coined the term astroanalysis-a combination of Jungian psychology and astrology-to describe how he helps free clients from compulsions, addictions, and unresolved issues, which keep them from living a life of peace and joy.

Albert saw things others didn't and heard what they couldn't from the age of two. When he was five he asked his mother why she seemed more like his dad and his dad more like the mother. As a pre-schooler he was tuned into the rich world of intuition and past lives even though he had no one to shepherd him through these recollections and recalls. At Birmingham-Southern he click connected with the unique psychological work and world of Swiss psychoanalyst, Dr. Carl Jung and his take on the shadow self. Gaulden believes that all-seeing and all-knowing is born within a child and it is the false and mundane world that erases his memory of what is really true. The integration of the divided self, putting one back together through a conscious fusion with his or her shadow is the underpinning of his work in the Sedona Intensive.

Albert studied with renowned astrology Byrd Knapp, Darrell Harris and Katharine de Jersey, as well as took Awareness Classes with Lee Jones at the Spiritualist Church in Los Angeles in the 70's, and attended the Corrado Academy of Perception in 1978 which led to his meeting actor John Travolta using the tools of manifestation learned at the Academy, and selling John El Adobe de Tajiguas, a 35-acre estate that abutted Ronald Reagan's ranch near Gaviota Beach in Southern California.

Gaulden worked in 1986 with international-best selling author of The Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield in Albert's innovative and one-of-a-kind personal empowerment program, the Sedona Intensive, which he founded in 1982. Albert was hired to use his gifts as an astro-intuitive to help cast Redfield's movie of The Celestine Prophecy.

Gaulden travels the world to teach and speak and finds Egypt particularly one of the most intriguing countries in the world. In December he will be returning with a tour group of clients and friends to the Land of the Nile and Pharaohs and the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Sphinx and other ancient digs and monuments in Upper and Lower Egypt.

His clients include sports figures, actors, royalty, Wall Street executives, men and women and young people from all walks of life who are eager to face those defects of character that keep them from being who they really are. He rigorously maintains the anonymity of his clients.

Additionally, Gaulden is a motivational speaker on such popular themes as "Mr. Right is Usually Mr. Wrong-Falling in Love With Make-Believe", "Take Your Power Back", "The Power of a Great Idea", the Death of Terror and the Rebirth of Bliss, �"Why Relationships Don't Work but How They Can" and many other provocative topics.
