Hi Elaine,
Something has really been on my mind lately, so if you can help me with it, it would be greatly appreciated.
My son, Tommy, (Sept. 27, ’96), is doing some facial tics, (rapid eye squinting, nose scrunching, mouth twisting). It’s getting pretty bad and I am afraid he will start to get made fun of at school, it is very annoying to watch, but he can’t help it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Judy
Hi Judy and thanks for your question. He’s a Libra, Scorpio Rising. Let me tune into Tommy’s name and see what I get—well, first I’d ask if he were on any kind of medication and if so…I’d get that checked out immediately. It feels like the chemicals in his body are changing and in relationship to some unconscious fears that are surfacing. I’d talk to him about how he feels about things in life—school, his friends, about feeling his own feelings.
I’d like to know if he’s disappointed in anyone in his family –and that it’s okay to feel that way. or if he’s feeling sad about anything. Sometimes feelings can come out in a sideways kind of way through the body. I do feel that he’s feeling a whole lot of pressure with or about his father and needing some kind of support from his mother.
So check in with him on those subjects and if you see an increase in his facial tics around October 28th or so through November 5th, stuff will come to the surface so keep talking to him about the pressures he might be feeling to fit in to his own life and with his own family…but during this last week of Oct through first week of November, definitely see a doctor if it gets worse.
Hope this helps!
Hi Elaine,
Bill, born 11/21/55, 3:00 AM in Greenwich, CT, USA
Abby, born 10/06/59, approximately 12:00 12:30 noon (not sure), New York.
We have an evil person involved in our life that worked for my husband, stole from us and now is trying to claim a neck injury. It has been hell – all we did was take care of this man, and he is trying to ruin our lives. I won’t go into the details, but I also had a bad injury with my thumb this summer. It seems as though we are constantly getting hammered, just when we felt we were going to make it, we got slammed with everything. Why do we deserve this? Will this horrible being really win this case, which will bury us? Should we move away? Too much stress!
Sorry I’ve gone on so long, and I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer sooner than three months, but I would appreciate it!
Thanks so much, Abby–Hi Elaine
I just wanted to check in with you and see where you were with your response to me and to let you know we have gotten through the horrible experience with the man I told you about. It is over and out of our lives finally, $35,000 dollars later. We always have some challenge, so I just want some insight on our life and direction, ie channeling some POSITIVE energy
Thanks,
Abby
Dear AS,
So sorry to hear about all of this crap! Who needs it? Let’s look at your info first—and note that the dates I give you will be approximate as I don’t have your exact birth time.
You’re a Libra Sun, Sagittarius Rising sign, and a Sagittarius Moon. Basically, you need to slow down and figure out what the hell you choose to have in life.
Your whole energy is of constant motion—as if you’d die if you stood still for 5 minutes. Great, energy is great, but unfocused energy is chaotic and breeds unconscious trauma—such as the stuff you’ve been experiencing. Your life right now is about knowing in which direction to expand. Honey, you’ve got Angels on your shoulder, at your table, and in your pocket, and you’re blind to them.
Anything that comes in to save your ass at the last moment can be considered your Angel (although I’m also talking about real-live Angels.)
You’re moving out of a ‘getting ripped off’ phase and into a SELF WORTH PHASE. So listen up. No one in life DOES anything to you that you don’t allow ON SOME LEVEL. No. No one wants cancer. No one chooses pain. But each and every situation in life is there to GET YOUR ATTENTION.
Now that your attention has been gotten, know what the heck your unconscious mind is creating—you have so much fear and doubt in your body, you’re really going to have to make an effort to BE STILL AND LISTEN to the small child in you that still wandering around waiting for Dad to lead and direct and guide her…you. And you got lead to brick walls, and to creative pursuits simultaneously.
Now is the year you break from your father’s patterns or move full force into repeating them. Read a book called, “Keeping the Love you find, “by Harville Hendrix, PhD. Read Howard Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences” and use a condom as you’re very fertile right now…or don’t use a condom and revel in procreation.
Either way, you’re whole being is asking that you create anew. A new look for the house, a new hairdo, a new attitude, whatever!
You’re in a phase that’s otherwise known as an identity crisis—but it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A CRISIS. Geeez and gawd, woman. Be calm. You’re a creative genius! You came to this Earth to EDUCATE your demographic of choice on HOW TO FIND THEIR TRUTH. So, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. You are the teacher and YOU are the student.
Start some true financial planning with Automatic Wealth (on amazon.com
Sit down for 5 nights (or as close to 5 as possible) and get your books together.
Read the other books and get your self in order. You’re here to take responsibility for your actions, your IDEALS, your words, your vision.
Groups of people will always assist, harass, collabaorate, whatever—groups of people are there to help you. If you’re unclear, those groups turn into angry villagers with burning torches.
STOP BEING THE VICTIM.
YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM.
The parts of you that seek trauma to feel alive need to wake up and pronto.
The world needs your genius. I see you working with your hands. I see you creating artistically. I see you involved in education in unusual ways. I see your growing awareness GROWING. You need to learn how to meditate and today, honey.
I don’t wish to see your amazing talents wither into Alzheimer’s and resentments about who got what in life and what you didn’t get! You have absolutely no boundaries when it comes to social graces. (and please hear my words with kindness and compassion. I’m direct, yes, ’cause I know where you are and I know that there are many ladders out of hell. I’ve used quite a few of them to go up and down!)
Work hard at the topics above and by November, I see a graduation of your awareness toward a huge expansion. The beginning of a seed grows and sprouts to a chosen desire and goal.
I smell wood when I read your name. I mean like carpenters wood. I mean like building wood. I mean, sit down with your self and your husband and set a goal. Stick to that goal and by November you will see fantastic results.
If you vacillate too far in any direction (as you are impatient for change to happen and you are not responsible with applying your energy to change) then you will see the expansion of the negative—loss of opportunity, etc.
I ONLY SEE WHAT YOU ARE CREATING. I also see your potential and it’s grand. What do you wish to do with your life? Aside from winning the gold for figure skating, just about anything else is possible so listen to your negative thoughts as they attempt to distract you.
And for self’s sake—stay clear of all mind-altering substances. Your philosophy is changing (don’t be the victim where everyone is out to get you! What are you teaching your kids by thinking this?) There are ways to set healthy boundaries without feeling like you’re being taken.
By this March or so, you’ll feel so much relieved about money issues and then you’ll go the other way and panic. Your extremes will mirror in life. Things will come your way and then they’ll be taken away—by none other than your own beliefs.
Here’s a clue—pay close attention to and only give your time, energy, money, to ONLY THOSE THINGS OR PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT YOUR TRUTH. If you feel after a while, that those things are sucking the life out of you, then you need boundaries and to reevaluate those folks and things and ideals. Give to only those things that are of the highest value to you.
Read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. By Robert Kiyosaki. Your ‘karmic’ debt is almost paid up. You owe it, I SAY OWE IT to YOURSELF to start reeducating yourself on business practices. The way you’ve been doing it DOES NOT WORK. Read, “goals” by Brian Tracey. Read, “The House that Love built,” by Betty Sue Flowers. You’ve got some restructuring to do, Bill…so that Billy can provide for his family and so that William and Willie feel like they’re serving their purpose on this Earth.
Your relationship to your parent’s—well okay, let’s not brood. Dad was unusual, explosive, eccentric if not absent, if not an alcoholic…Mom was always in need but never asked. Hey, no need to repeat the past WHICH IS WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
YOU ARE CAPABLE. YOU ARE WORTH IT. WHY AM I SCREAMING AT YOU? That has never worked before—you are a master builder. Is this why I smell wood? Learn to be business savvy.
You’ve got karma to heal. Karma is not good or bad but rather a balancing of energy. Your karma relates to the public and groups and financial successes.
Oh, by the way, you’re a Scorpio Sun, Libra Rising, Aquarius Moon.
Don’t focus on money—rather focus on values. Money comes to us a byproduct of our efforts, our beliefs, and our ability to receive. You don’t receive well, so how the hell can this loving universe give you what you WANT? And by the way, stop wanting. Wanting creates more wanting. Say, instead, I choose…..
“I want a sandwich.” Where is the focus? It’s on want. Stop wanting. You came to this earth ready to earn, ready to learn, ready to get past the limiting fear in your head that has nothing to do with you anymore.
Choose which demographic you’d like to work with and get your $$ act together. You’re in demand. You’re in need.
In your chart, by November you’re given an opportunity to grow and earn and expand your knowledge base.
You learn easily! You are quick witted, friend. The one thing you are lacking is the awareness that there are others who can help you.. You can not act alone on this earth for too long. Change—it’s more than stuff that jingles in your pocket.
Read the books I’ve recommended for you and Abby.
And for the next seven years, take extra good care of your health—cut down on that dairy, pal. It’s got you congested. Lean up your diet. Low on carbs, too. Work out everyday and get your lungs cleared. Congestion is building! Congestion is just another way to say, “I’m confused!”
Change.
Make a decision based upon your gut, not emotion, but the truth that whispers like a breeze through rustling pines.
Learn to open up and speak your feelings. Intimacy is about people seeing the truth in each other. If you harbor feelings of lack (and you do) you’ll find people following you like mangy dogs ready to bite you in the ass.
The world only reflects who you are on all levels. Your fear of lack, your fear that you won’t be good enough or measure up is not serving you. Feel your body each and every time you face financial stuff. You hold your breath! It’s so automatic you may not even realize it.
Breathe very deeply when you feel any negative feeling. Breathe deeply and tell yourself, “I ONLY ALLOW WHAT IS BENEFICIAL TO ENTER.” And know that what enters your body, mind, spirit, is beneficial—even if it doesn’t feel great, it will help you if you’re open to seeing the truth.
Be well, hope this has helped, Elaine Marolakos Edelson
Q–Elaine,
Would you mind telling me my sun sign?
I was born October 18, 1968 at 11:41 a.m.
My husband and I would like another child. We have a wonderful, smart, beautiful 6 1/2 year old daughter. I’m hoping that the universe and the time of the year are finally the right time for us to have another baby!
Thanks!

A-Hi Tanya, thanks for your email. You’re a Libra Sun, Sagittarius Rising sign and a Virgo moon. Okay, you wrote this email in late February or Early march I think…if you’re not already pregnant, get busy. April is a very fertile time for you. Now, by December you’re moving or you’re having a child or making room for a baby. I don’t see a problem with you getting pregnant, but I do see a possible c-section for the delivery or a sudden event possibly a eager child who can’t wait to get here. I usually look at both the mother and father’s chart to see more about timing, but it certainly feels like you’re ready and so the only thing you can do is make space for that child and have fun in the process. Second baby feels like a boy or at least a very proactive girl, go girl.
Be well and thanks for the email.

Q- Hi Elaine, I have been listening to the show on self-sabotage and am sending my info in hope that you may help me break through and get beyond my blocked pathways and help me to allow myself to have financial abundance/stability, the same with relationships. I have been sober for almost 12 years and it seems that even though that is no longer a problem my financial and personal situations have not developed beyond the “barely getting by” mode.
It seems like “self-sabotage” is my middle name and I really NEED this to stop.
I am going to do the exercise that you gave at the end of your show as well as using the “I CHOOSE. . . . ” statement everyday.
My birthdate is: October 9, 1959
I was born at 10:34 p.m.
Location of birth is Fremont, Ohio
Sincerely,
Kath
A-Kath, thanks for your email. I’m sorry you’re feeling anything other than joy. Okay, fyi, you’re a Libra sun, Cancer Rising sign, and Capricorn moon. Could you endure any more stress? c’mon add on the pressure. Your middle name is not Sisiphus. Ya know, the guy in mythology who was condemned by the gods to repeatedly roll a huge boulder up a hill? No. This isn’t you but you are attracted to the role. C’mon admit it.
Okay right now you’re having a karmic event. That’s when the proverbial stuff hits the proverbial fan.
In your case this is your unconscious ogre beating you up. If you listened to my April Astroblast, which is still in effect through May 9—you’ll have heard me talk to Capricorn—this is your moon, my dear one.. and What I said to capricorn was the sadistic part of you is needing to be in the light to heal.
This idea that you must punish yourself for not being the old definition of perfect. Let’s dispel this rumor that perfect means—holier than all, arrived. done. ideal state. That is the job of Sisiphus to enact a motion that moves toward the end goal but can never get there.
How about my definition and I say this because I’m a Capricorn rising sign that has enough frequent flyer self punishment miles to get me to Saturn and back again before Christmas.
The new definition of perfection—get a pen, write this down. I’ll wait. hmm la la la…ready? That if I am pure conscious love and divine in nature and focused on compassion in as many moments as possible…then I already am in a state of perfection…continually moving with a constellation of ideas that perpetuate compassion. This is perfection.
Now let’s apply this to your life.
Karma is not good or bad. It’s a completion of energy. You came into this life with the notion that it was about the stuff. Even if in your head you’re saying, no, I ‘m not focused on money and stuff….your unconscious self is. karma is not always right in your face oh I get it information.
You’ll repeat an action over and over again until you get it. Like in the movie Groundhog day with Bill Murray. In fact I suggest you watch this movie. Watch his life unfold.
Between now and December, don’t groan, I’m not saying you’ll be struggling all year…I’m saying your window to release this pattern is huge…use it. Take it. Work it. How?
Each day tell yourself that you’re abundant. Even when you can’t make a bill on time. Do what you can do in a practical way to pay your bills but pay close attention to the feelings of panic and scarcity in you. Start to trust that your needs are met..repeat each day, a hundred times a day, “My needs are met, my needs are met, my needs are met, even if I don’t know how to meet them.”that last part of the statement is where your fear is.
Now I’m not downing AA at all but you do not have a disease. You became sober April 26, 1996. You’ve committed that date to memory as a date when you started to wake up. Think about the reason you had an addiction in the first place. You might say all the reasons people say and all reasons are valid, but deep down who are you? Where is your home? To what are you connected? You’ve been separate from the Divine energy for too long. And I do not refer to the God—what do you feel when you hear that word? Is it masculine, negative? Fear based?
Use the word Divine or Divinity…you are pure conscious love looking for where you matter.
In August, 2008 we’re having a Solar eclipse in Leo and it’s going to open your value system wide—what you think you don’t have, feeling like you have to hoard, hold, keep it for a rainy day. those feelings will come up because of a financial situation. and I say that and where do your thoughts go? To the negative? This is what I’m talking about. Where is your trust that your needs will be met, even if you don’t know how to meet them?
I’m seeing a positive event that helps you start to receive with trust.
We’re running out of show time but there’s always time and always hope when making a change. Trust that. Read my book Minutes to Manifesting How to See It, Get It, Keep It and you’ll have many exercises to do while you’re retraining yourself to be the pure conscious love that is abundant.
thanks for your email….
