My palmistry seminar last week was such a success that I am scheduling another January 24, 2015 at Mystic Journey Bookstore. It will be from 2 – 4 pm. More news will be posted soon.
My book, Secrets of Love, Words of Wisdom by Grendahl the Palmist, is now in proofs and will be available on Amazon in a couple of weeks.
My book, The Palmistry of Love and Romance is still in process, but should be out by Valentine’s Day.
Mystic Journey Bookstore November 2 at 2 pm Come and join in with Spencer as he teaches the mysteries of the mounts and the shape of the palm, those sensitive areas where just by a glance and discrete observation you gain intuitive insights. Look at your own palm with these techniques and be amazed at the accuracy. These clues will raise your level of awareness.
October 8th is a lunar eclipse at 15 Arises. This eclipse with be in conjunction with transiting Uranus. It will be a powerful injection of emotional and creative disruption. The whole world is now wondering what the heck is going on. It is just going to intensify.
On October 23 there will be a solar eclipse at 0 degree Scorpio and 23 minutes. Since it is exactly on the cusp, perhaps we can hope things will improve. I tend to doubt it. This eclipse will have some secret attacks happen down road.
However, at this writing I am about to board a plane for Phoenix for big ISAR Conference which for four days will have classes and symposiums on astrology and these eclipses will be studied in a large panel discussion.
When I return I will report the thoughts of this panel on these troubling eclipses in October.
There is progress in the publication of my book, Secrets of Love. Click on the link below to see Cover Proofs.

The new moon of July 26 has Mars in Scorpio squaring Sun Moon and Jupiter. No wonder things get just more and more difficult in this post Cardinal Cross months. It hardly seems like just three months ago that we had that Grand Cardinal Cross, plus a Lunar and Solar eclipse.
The violence that every astrologer around was yelling “look out” about started and snow balled, Russia/Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Iraq, planes shot down, Ebola, Children from Middle America invading our boarders, Congress still hostile and unproductive. And losing Iraq–all the Americans who died, for what? And, of course, once again the seemingly eternal Israel Palestinian problem goes crazy–rockets, iron dome, invasion, tunnels, children as shields.
Well, Mars has left his long sojourn in Libra, the gentle, to ingress into Scorpio,the sign or so many things like death, revenge, sex, inheritance, and rebirth. Mars used to rule Scorpio until Pluto and his association with the development of the atomic age and the BOMB kicked Mars off the duel ruler roll and just the guy who hangs out in Aries, the god of war, athletic contests, sex in the survival mode of phallus to the world’s ova. Mars impregnates.
Mars stays in Scorpio until September 14th. And that means it will be a very trying time. Think of this. All fixed signs will be stress. And the fixed signs of Leo has Jupiter in transit and Scorpio has Saturn. While Leo does trine Aries where Uranus is presently hanging out, Scorpio has Saturn. The great “decider” the great “realist” the judgement of judgements made. The only hope here is its trine by sign to Neptune in Pisces.
And Neptune is a hope in a way suggest a new vision MIGHT be generated.
The difficulty with all this, of course, is the occurring big dance of Uranus and Pluto, which means that the transformation energy being released in this configurations moments through direct and retrograde motion is still to be dealt with.
Things will get worse until they get better. A bromide, but bromides become bromides through constant use and the accuracy that they contribute to the situation at hand. While I am optimistic that something manageable and even positive is possible down road, as it were, when options are finally played out and the posturing is over and new real polarities of energy are formed.
I don’t know about you, but for me, I will spend more time on my yoga mat. We in LA are in a drought of huge proportions and this is an immediate concern for me. I get angry at seeing people waste water. Still, other than good action on self circumstances and a calmness of mind and soul is all that one can really ever do–another bromide. As Aunt Sara used to say, “what can you do?” It is a rhetorical question.
I have written a book of saying on love based on my experiences as a physic reader of palms and charts.
Here are a few quotes. I have gotten a publisher, so I will be writing more. I will post more, later.

Love is not an athletic event. It is not an arena for the most aggressive or the strongest lover to dominate. Love is a state of being where cares and joy rule, a sharing where winning or losing have lost their meaning.
July is going to be a month of lots of new planetary movements, and with that a whole new direction will start to unfold.
Jupiter is going into Leo on July 15. Goodbye to the watery Cancer (and the sign of the USA) Hello the fire of Leo the fixed and will have conflict with Saturn still in the fixed sign of Scorpio. This will bring much more stress and crisis. While Jupiter was in Cancer with its trine by sign Saturn in Scorpio. That is over.
Saturn will go direct on July 21 and the whole judgment and evaluative energy of this planet’s concerns with the true shape of practical reality will become impassioned. Old diplomatic agreements will be dashed and the struggle to find order out of the ensuing fracturing of protocols will mean hard agreements will be hammered out the old way, fighting. Saturn and Jupiter in conflicting signs will make things happen like earthquakes of conflicts.
On July 17, Uranus goes retrograde and will pass over the old 13 degree point of the cross and again square Pluto in Capricorn. The final bang of that fabled square. More unstable energy to add to a configuration that is all ready deeply troubled.
Still, if you are a fire sign, the prospect of Jupiter in fire will work well for you and your luck will improve. Later degrees of water signs will also find something to anticipate. Saturn all be in trine to the later degrees of Scorpio will give some personal projects for water sign people a real boost.
Mars will go into the sign of Scorpio and march through Sagittarius and Capricorn and then to Aquarius by the end of December. Water, Fire, Earth and Air. The energy of Mars will be more muted than the long time spent in Libra during the retrograde and its role in the cardinal cross. It will make for a propelling energy, but will not be as dramatic in its impact.
Back in April there was this giant cardinal cross that was active for a couple of days while Mars served as the firing pin for this configuration and then moved on. Mars was retrograde and at that time there was this event with Putin getting all aggressive and generally stirring up the pot of peace with land grabs that made everyone get very nervous, but Libra Putin rather lucky–see my previous blog.
There were shouts of world war, that the whole situation was frightening (which in one sense it was). Still the whole situation, while not really cooling off, entered into a lot of diplomatic maneuvers and while everything is still stressful and high charged, the energy of the Mars seemed a little muted compared to what it might have been.
When Mars went direct and again hit the point of its trigger degree of the cross (though winding down), a much bigger threat appeared. A very savage and aggressive right wing islamist group is now pounding into Iraq. The country now seems on the very brink of civil war. And area won with the blood of US soldiers has now been taken by this ISIL group. Everyone now sees even more clearly the stupid and idiotic folly of the ‘W” years with Cheny and Rumsfeld. I digress.
Old religious wounds have been ignited in Iraq and truly this world is getting crazy. Don’t forget China, Japan, Viet Nam all battling over oil in the South China Sea.
It seems to me that this will take some very careful leadership to find some way through this. The midterm elections don’t look very promising. So, once again we must go to our meditation mats and find an inner center. The future is not clear. Yet we cannot let it dominate us. Still, we have seen that the long term repercussions from that great cross–one might say it will be our “cross to bear” for quite awhile.
Putin and I share the birth date of October 7. I am a little older. I was so worried about the effects of the Grand Cardinal Cross that I thought I would have bad luck–but I had great luck.
Lets look at Putin: 1- He is coming off a great Olympics, which many people would not be done on time and would have a terrorist attack, but he prevailed. 2 – He divorced his wife of thirty years and now runs around with a former gold medalist. I am sure she is a playful handful. 3 – In front of the world he took Crimea back into Russian control, secured a naval port. 4 – His personal popularity is at 80% in Russia who now feels pride that they have not felt in a long long long time. 5 – He has positioned himself as a major player in the world theater and threatens to grab more land.
While to the rest of the world Putin may look like a monster rising from the depths of testosterone — what with the shirtless horse back riding, shooting guns at animals, embracing babies, giving resounding and threatening images of the return of the cold war. Oct 7 looks not good on the outside looking in.
About me, Spencer Grendahl Oct7. I had the best luck I have had in a long time.My numbers of reading improved, I entertained at more parties as the Great Swami Spencer, palm reader extraordinaire. Plus, my internet funding drive in Indiegogo hit its mark and I have the money to publish a book of my thoughts on love: The Secrets of Love, sayings by Grendahl,the Palmist. I had professional successes in other aspects of my entrainment persona. Plus suddenly my palm reading by Skype has increased. And the Meet Up Group that Jim Schultz and I founded is hitting 40 to fifty people a meeting.
What can I say, for people who have trines (Putin and I both do) to the cardinal points of the Grand Cross saw that energy flow into good reactions.
The good news in that Mars will station a 9 degrees of Libra on May 19th–making this the first time in three months, during which time we experienced that Grand Cardinal Cross and had one of the most powerful configurations in years hammer our Cardinal planets–including Mars, which was retrograde at the time and muted a little the power that Mars contributed to the energy mass which generated so many crisis that many astrologers were shouting that the world was going to end, World War 3 was about to break out and our civilization was doomed.
Even in the private natal horoscopes with planets from 12 – 15 Cardinal were experiencing great problems. I had many calls from clients bewailing the world of woe that cam crashing down on them.
Now Mars in going direct and the Cardinal signs and well as planets that trine or sextile Cardinal points will be activated and we will see the first wave of relief. One might argue that Jupiter going direct was really the first wave since it has now passed the points of its squares and opposition to the 13 degree.
So what does this mean? Mars in Libra, while not the happiest planet in the solar system, Mars isn’t hip to being “fair” Still Mars will not activate us,we will feel the juices flow again, we will feel more that jumping into some new things to do with a growing sense that we can see the glimmer of optimistic hope–things that have been irritating for the last six months now show a possibility of being creative, passionate, self expressive. Our confidence in our own ability to make positive evaluations of situations will increase, relationships with working and social importance will both improve.
Life turns from exasperating to gaining a better grip on what we want to do and how to approach the future. Sex will be better, our grasp of the joys of the body, of the thrills of being out in nature will improve.
Add that Jupiter is racing through Cancer to ingress into Leo July 15 (Bastille Day) The best news here is that Jupiter will trine Saturn on May 24. New foundations are being laid. Where the mess of late April will morph into a solid effort on getting things done. Larger picture: the expansive nature of Jupiter and the realistic and measured analysis of Saturn. Patience in the past troubling energy fields of the last six months will coalesce into work and plans for the future that are looking better, the forecast is for progress, positive progress.
Rejoice that the great planets are moving on from the Grand Cardinal Cross and the winds and tides that have been stormy will now calm into waters where we can find smoother sailing and the trade winds have returned.
