The Gospel According to Clance’

Just another Thunder Lounge weblog

Archive for February, 2007

The Daytona 500

First of all I want to thank Thunder Lounge for the opportunity to blog here amidst the best NASCAR commentary in the blogosphere
My name is Clance’ McClannahan and I am the (yes…legal) Pastor, Revered/and Self Appointed Goddess and Diva of The Church of The Great Oval.  I am a quiet, shy,  little tiny diminutive lady Photobucket - Video and Image Hostingwho also kinda likes NASCAR. I have an opinion on occasion, on certain aspect’s of the sport, it’s team’s and Driver’s.

Can you guess how many lies were in the first paragraph? Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I am a Minister and Reverend and I can legally baptise, marry and bury you.

I am a Self appointed Goddess/ Diva. I expect to be treated that way. Ask my husband.

It’s the rest that are lies. I mean creative writing.  Well not all are lies… Some are wishes.

Lie 1. I am quiet. 

The Truth: Nope. Never.

Lie 2. Shy.

The Truth: Hardy har har, yeah right. I am my own reality show.

Lie 3. Little Tiny Dimunitive Lady.

The Truth: What is little? Does 5 foot 3 count?

Tiny? Lie. That would mean skinny right? I am just right…  a curvy woman who considers a few extra lbs. an asset that just makes me softer.

Diminutive? I don’t even know what that means.

Lady? Most of the time…unless my Irish red headed temper gets engaged.

Right now the Irish in me is alive and kicking.

I have decided that the majority of NASCAR fans anymore just watch the sport so they have something to whine about. I hate freaking whiners! SHEESH!!

Poor Mark…Bad Kevin…Poor Tony…Bad Tony…Bad Kurt…Poor Jr….bad Matt, Kasey and Michael. Bad Chad…Cheaters!! OH my!! Imagine that!! In NASCAR?? What a Shocker!!

Bad Toyota!! How dare a car compete in America’s favorite sport and spoil everything!! Shhhh!!! Alway’s make sure that you don’t actually know what your talking about when you whine about American Stock Cars…Toyota is the only stock car in NASCAR which is actually made in America!! All the other’s are made in either Canada or Mexico.

I have had numerous emails regarding the NASCAR rule books “says!” like they actually have a rulebook in their hands.

Tell me? Where is the Hallowed book, besides in NASCAR only hands? Where can you get a hold of the Almighty Sacred Scripture? How do you know exactly when  a new rule is added to the book and then how did it get into your sacred book in your special fan’s hands? I want one and I want instant updates on any and all rule changes so I can be so clear minded and sensible as those of you who think “poor” Mark Martin was cheated again of a victory!
I tivo’d the Daytona 500, as I do all the races. I not only Tivo’d the broadcast this time, but also tivo’d from the “other” tivo…the Harvick channel on Directv’s Speedpass. I went back, frame by frame on both sets. When the accident happened, Harvick was already ahead of Mark Martin. If the yellow had been thrown at the exact instance of the accident, at the first touch of a bumper or swish of a tail…Kevin Harvick would have won that race. Period. He outraced Martin. He “Earhned” that win on that special day. Just like the Elder Earnhardt would have done.

I have a tremendous respect for Mark Martin. Mark Martin has announced that he will run six races in the Wood  Brothers No. 21 Craftsman Truck entry, with the first race coming next weekend at California Speedway.
Martin will look to defend his truck series win there a year ago, when he led 63 of 106 laps in route to the victory.
I was rooting for Mark after Tony wrecked (with the Elder Earnhardt as his Guardian Angel, I might add.) He ran a great race. So did Harvick and many others. Harvick won because he beat everyone. Photobucket - Video and Image HostingTook names and kicked butt.

I could whine and say Oh! Poor Tony…Kurt took him out. But he didn’t. Kurt Busch even humbly took the blame that he didn’t need to. He was sad, shook up, yet cool and collected. Tony was cool and sparkly as a cucumber. He is either on some seriously strong happy drugs or is wildly in love. Probably both. The biggest shock all day to me was Tony’s lack of re-action. Kurt’s cool accountability. Yup! Those were my surprises. 

The Elder Guardian Angel Earnhardt was protecting a lot of those boys. His son, Tony and especially Clint Boyer. That was a wild way to finish a race. Upside down and on fire! Whoowheee!

Remember now as we move Westward to California or Bust!! Fat Tuesday was yesterday, Lent began today and you must give up your beer and beads for boobs trades.

Tally Ho!! Onward!!

NASCAR -Daytona 500 Astro Predictions

Here are the predominant ’scope’s of the driver’s with the most influential and strongest aspects that affect the Daytona 500 Astro-Predictions.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Jupiter Conjunction Sun
activity period from 10 February 2007 until middle of October 2007.
Theme:Exuberant optimism

***Valid during many months: Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good. However, since your chart is severely afflicted by other influences at this time, this one will serve largely to give you a break.For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.

This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.

This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.

Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Moon Trine Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
This influence gives you a pleasant sense of well-being. Tonight you feel very warm and friendly to the people around you, and you are willing to offer emotional or physical support to anyone who needs it. You are generous and giving. People will warm to you, and you should get from others exactly what you give, that is, warmth and affection. You are likely to attract basically happy and positive people with whom you will have an enjoyable time. This is not the result of a “Pollyanna” view of reality that refuses to recognize trouble and pain in the world, but of a real sense of belonging and oneness with others. In a very important sense you feel that helping others helps you. On another level this influence indicates a concern with the general welfare.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

Venus Sextile Saturn
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Mutual expectations
This influence will show you in a positive way the duties and obligations that you have to live up to in your relationships. This will not be especially difficult for you, because you get considerable gratification from being of service to your loved ones. The reality of your emotional relationships is extremely important to you. Because you want relationships that are real, this is a good time to sit down with a loved one and arrive at a conscious understanding of what you expect from each other. A relationship can be ruined by not knowing what each party demands and needs from the other. Today you can make this clear to both lovers and friends and thereby minimize a possible source of trouble in your relationships.

Sun Square Sun
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Counterforces

This is a time of challenge and crisis. Very often this crisis occurs in the form of persons who are working at cross-purposes to your efforts. They may or may not oppose you intentionally, but the thrust of their actions forces you to prove that what you are doing is worthwhile. You may be very angry at these people, feeling that they are motivated by nothing but malice. In fact their motives are the same as yours, which you must learn to understand. Challenges may also occur in connection with your efforts to build something up, to create a material structure or to get a project going. Or they may occur as a test of some new aspect of your personality that has recently come into being. (**Like I said, stay away from Baby Busch)

Venus Opposition Pluto
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Constructive changes
This influence may have the effect of intensifying experiences in your love life. Through love you will seek feelings and emotions that transport you out of the ordinary. This same energy may lead to indiscretions in love relationships, which could cause problems later on. If f you bear this in mind, however, you will have little difficulty during this time. There are powerful energies at work in your love life today and they can work to bring about constructive changes in your relationships. These energy patterns are dangerous to your relationships only if you are unconscious of their processes or if you are unwilling to deal with their root causes. You may have to handle quite a bit of energy to make this influence work out, but it could be a powerful force for good.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Intense feelings
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Tonight you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975

Mars Trine Sun
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Decisive action **
During this time you feel vigorous and willing to work. At the same time, your self-confidence is unusually strong. You feel no need to struggle against others, because you know your normal energies will carry you through any situation. And since you are able to work from such a calm position, your work is more effective and more competent than usual. You do not feel violently competitive, but if someone offers a challenge, you won’t back down.You will enjoy the contest, but you will not feel driven to win at all costs. The game will seem satisfactory by itself. And you will carry this viewpoint over into all the activities you become involved in at this time. This is a favorable time for situations that require decisive action.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

Moon Square Saturn
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: A fleeting depression
Weak, transient effect: This influence can indicate a period of fleeting depression. Today during the day you are inclined to feel lonely and out of touch with others. Sometimes you have a pronounced sense that no one loves you, whether or not it is true. It is very important to realize that your moods and sensations under this influence often do not reflect reality, even though they seem to. One area where you can have real trouble is in relationships. You will find it unusually difficult to relate emotionally to another person during this time. You may feel so cold and insensitive that you do not register signals from other people very well. This in turn leads to failures of communication and genuine misunderstandings. Obviously this is not a good time to become involved in an emotionally delicate situation.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Venus Opposition Venus
Theme: At ease with yourself
This can be a very pleasant time. You feel at ease with yourself, benign and rather self-indulgent, which is fine as long as you don’t have work that must be done. You feel that there is nothing you do not deserve, and you are likely to buy some expensive pastime only to regret the cost later. Love relationships will normally be smooth during this time, although a problem may arise if you have a disagreement with a loved one or friend. Instead of defending your own position when you have a perfect right to, you may compromise on issues that really should not be compromised.

Moon Trine Uranus
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956


Moon Square Mercury
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Physical passion
You will be much more aggressive than usual. his influence can signify a critical time in your communications with the people around you, particularly those with whom you are intimately involved. The danger is that your feelings and emotions will overwhelm your rational intellect, making your thinking and actions so subjective that no one else will be able to relate to what you say. Nevertheless you have a strong need to communicate about your emotions. You should avoid dealing with controversy by changing your own views every time someone disagrees with them. You will tend now to change your views according to the prevailing wind, but this may result in compromising yourself if the people you have “agreed” with compare viewpoints. However, it is natural for your opinions to be in a state of flux at this time. Just be honest about admitting it.

Mars in the 12th House
activity period from 8 February 2007 until middle of March 2007.
Theme: Self-defense
Valid during several weeks: Past behavior patterns that have become completely unconscious now become active and come into play without your knowing it. Your efforts at self-assertion are undermined by these behavior patterns that you are not even aware of. And unfortunately the people who are alienated by these actions probably will not come out and say so, but will work behind the scenes to block your efforts. The only way you can counter this effect is to become completely conscious of yourself and these little self-defeating acts. If you feel emotionally upset as you often will during this time, refrain from any kind of significant confrontation with others. Instead, confront yourself. It is best at this time to work alone as much as possible.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

Moon Opposition Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
This influence, although brief, can have a disruptive effect on your relationships. The problem is that it tends to make you feel very lonely and isolated, as if there is no one you can communicate with. And this can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps unconsciously you send out signals to others declaring that you do not want to be bothered. You may get into a depressed mood that baffles the people around you, so they give up on you for the time being and stop trying to help you. There is a strong tendency to look on the dark side of life and to react much more strongly to disappointments and failures than to reinforcement from others and success. The best way to handle such feelings is to do nothing. Don’t take them seriously and don’t make any decisions based on the way you feel now.

Moon Square Neptune
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Distorted views
Weak, transient effect: Tonight fancies and illusions may become more important than reality. With some people this takes the form of simple daydreams, which are not likely to be a problem. After all, daydreaming is quite harmless. This is not a good time to make decisions or to embark upon a course of action that requires clear thinking. Subconscious influences are often very strong during this time, and they can distort your views in just about any area. Old points of view, habits picked up in childhood, prejudices - all can mislead you under this influence. People with an alcohol or drug problem may have difficulty with this influence. It gives everyone a strong desire to leave the real world, which strengthens some people’s dependence on drinking or drug taking.

Moon Sextile Chiron
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Small embarrassments
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual - even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others - for example children - enough security to trust you.

Moon Trine Uranus
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves ** Note The Elder Busch’s scope
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975

Venus in the 9th House
activity period from 13 February 2007 until middle of March 2007
Theme: A pleasure trip
Valid during several weeks: This would be a good time to see an art exhibit that challenges your preconceived views about what is beautiful. Probably this will be entertaining rather than unsettling, and you will experience something new. Or you might go to a concert that features music entirely different from anything you have ever heard. This influence can signify a long and enjoyable pleasure trip. You will derive the most benefit from a trip to a place you have never seen before, where you can encounter something totally new.

Moon Trine Uranus
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves ** Here it is again!!
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Moon Trine Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Common-sense answers
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

Venus Trine Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: A pleasant respite
This influence brings grace, ease and pleasant social interaction into your life. It can also bring laziness and self-indulgence, but only if you are likely to be that way anyway. For most people this influence will be a pleasant respite from the daily grind. You just feel content, and your contentment affects others favorably, so that everyone around you today will be in good spirits. This is an excellent time for all social occasions, amusements and entertainments.

Moon Sextile Moon
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
This is a time of deep feelings. Today during the day you want to be surrounded by familiar people and objects that remind you of pleasant past experiences. It is a good time to be with relatives and family and to go over old times with them. Or you may feel like doing nothing more adventurous than staying home and curling up with a good book. With this influence there is a great need for intimacy, which you wish to share with the people you are in contact with today. When you are with a group or before the public under this influence, you are able to establish a good rapport. This is a good time for making any kind of public presentation. Friends, especially female friends, are important to you at this time. You have the ability to sit with them, listen to their troubles and offer a sympathetic ear, as well as good advice.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974

Moon Conjunction Jupiter
active only on 18 February 2007.
This morning you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won’t have to contend with “harsh behavior,” because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give - kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.

Moon Square Ascendant
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

Moon Trine Mercury
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Equilibrium
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are in touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them to others. You probably lack the psychological tension that usually drives people to talk about their feelings, but you can listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems now. The insight into your own feelings and the psychological equilibrium that you have now may enable you to offer effective help to others. This influence also signifies a state of balance between your feelings and your rational intellect. That is, you are able to think with great emotional sensitivity but still remain logical in your thought processes. Communications with women will be easy and quite favorable at this time, regardless of your own sex. And encounters with women may be quite informative in a positive way.

Moon Trine Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Common-sense answers
Weak, transient effect: Tonight you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969

Venus Sextile Mercury
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 20 February 2007.
Theme: A pleasant day
This day is good for arranging and participating in social get-togethers. Spend time with friends and enjoy yourself. You probably won’t want to talk about anything serious, because this is a light-hearted influence. Nevertheless, it is a good time for talking to loved ones and making it clear how you feel about them. Even if there are tensions within your relationships, this influence should enable you to discuss them, straighten them out and leave nothing behind but good feelings.

Moon in the 12th House
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 21 February 2007.
Theme: Not all that bad
At this time you may be tempted to withdraw and keep your feelings secret, especially if you are at all insecure about your inner self. Perhaps you, like many people, have always felt that if others really knew you, they wouldn’t like you. So you keep your entire emotional life secret. But whatever you hide from others, you will also hide from yourself. And whatever you hide from yourself can control you without your being aware of it. This is a time when your unconscious attitudes and fears can be very difficult. You need to communicate your deep inner feelings to another person, preferably someone you can trust. Probably you will not feel much like socializing now. And in fact it is a good time to be alone and face any aspect of yourself that you are reluctant to face. It is probably not really all that bad

Moon Sextile Sun
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme:Equanimity
Weak, transient effect: This morning you experience a time of inner and outer equanimity. You can stop and take stock of yourself without feeling completely caught up in the usual turmoil and rush of events. Even if your affairs are not going too smoothly, this influence will provide a breathing space. If you have been feeling harried, you now have at least a brief opportunity to take it easy. And if you are relaxed, you will feel even better now. Your relationships with groups and friends are quite good during this time. You are able to understand other people’s needs without losing sight of your own desires for fulfillment. Opportunities may arise from unexpected corners that will improve your life in small ways at least. In general you will benefit from being out in the world today and having as much contact with others as possible.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Intense feelings
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. This morning you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

Saturn Trine Sun
activity period from middle of September 2006 until end of June 2007.
Further training ***
Valid during many months: At this time the circumstances of your life and your own inner energies are working quite well together. But this influence will not seem especially lucky; rather, your life as a whole will run smoothly, and whatever you do will come out well. Without any special sense of effort, you are actually able to make significant progress and get a great deal done. Take advantage of this and accomplish as much as possible. If an opportunity arises for further training to expand the range of your experience, take it.

Moon Opposition Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: Asserting your freedom
Weak, transient effect: This influence stimulates your drive for personal freedom, and if you feel free and unencumbered, you will probably behave quite irresponsibly in other people’s eyes. The more you feel that people are trying to hold you back or make you toe the line, the more you will resist. The same applies to relationships. If your partner in a love relationship tries to be possessive or limit your freedom, you will resist. And a dispute could arise from your assertion of freedom. On a very different level, this influence can manifest itself as a feeling of spiritual disquiet, a mood in which you question your fundamental goals and aspirations. And, indeed this is a good time to look at your life in this way. What you learn will be very important to you.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

Jupiter Conjunction Sun
activity period from 8 February 2007 until middle of October 2007.
Theme: Exuberant optimism ***
Valid during many months: Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good. Since your chart is severely afflicted by other influences at this time, this one will serve largely to
give you a break. At the very least, you will feel good at this time. Your health is good, and you feel very optimistic. For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.
This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.
This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.
Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Moon in the 1st House
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 21 February 2007.
Theme: Your emotional sensors
This is a two-day period when personal and subjective considerations will override everything else, but it need not be difficult. First of all, you feel a great need to belong and to relate to your friends or loved ones. This need turns on your emotional sensors and makes you very sensitive to the feelings and moods of the people around you, because you want to fall in with their rhythms and become sympathetic with them. This is the unconscious sign of relating to a group. Thus you are emotionally right there whenever someone needs your sympathy, warmth and understanding. You are very concerned about yourself, which is fine, but don’t distort this into a state of mind in which you cannot see anybody else’s point of view. Objectivity, especially in dealing with others, may be difficult to come by now.

Michael Waltrip, born 30 April 1963

Uranus Conjunction Chiron
activity period from beginning of April 2006 until beginning of December 2007.
Theme: A bolt from the blue ***
Valid during many months: Your nerves are probably rather strained at the moment, simply because you feel unable to digest your experiences as quickly as they are happening.
Being aware of this will help you to treat others with more consideration, and not to allow your own inner discontent to disturb them. If you can share your innermost feelings with your partner you will be more able to use this time constructively. You are probably not as alone as you sometimes believe. Everyone, including the members of your family, work colleagues and friends have to cope with losing ideals and changing values. Consciously being able to let go of deeply personal and painful old wounds - whether by turning to some form of therapy or experiencing some kind of spiritual awakening - will create space for a new sense of responsibility towards humanity as a whole. Only then can we broaden our horizons enough to see what is wrong with the world. The fight for personal freedom is always closely related to the conditions of the society in which we live.
It is therefore now important that you use your creative potential to serve the wider community. You could either join a group or project which is particularly concerned with human rights, society’s outcasts or the environment. You could even help others by telling them of your own personal healing experiences. How you help is not important, what is, is that you are able to see your own life within a wider context, so that your ideals and convictions can play a more central role.

Moon Trine Neptune
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Truly selfless
Weak, transient effect: This influence will bring forth your innermost subconscious fantasies. Today during the day you may spend considerable time daydreaming and not accomplish very much, but you will probably feel that it has been worth it. Dreams can be very refreshing to the spirit. At times we all need to withdraw a bit from the real world and encounter our inner selves. Now you have great sympathy for others. You are able to put yourself in their place and know exactly how you would feel in such a situation. You want to help others, with little thought of any benefit to yourself. This is one of those influences that makes you truly selfless, not merely in appearance. You may work to help people whom you consider less fortunate than yourself. There is often a strong interest in psychic or spiritual subjects under this influence.

Ricky Rudd, born 12 September 1956

Uranus Opposition Jupiter
activity period from beginning of April 2006 until beginning of December 2007.
Theme: Be cautious ***
Valid during many months: During this time you should watch the affairs of your life very carefully. Situations will arise suddenly thatwill and can be extremely productive and beneficial. f you recognize them in advance or extremely difficult if you do not. Events happen so fast that you will not have the usual time to figure them out before you act. If you act too quickly, you may find yourself out on a very unpleasant limb, but if you don’t act quickly enough, the chance is lost. Consequently this influence can produce both sudden losses and sudden gains. As a general rule, however, you would be well advised to be cautious. The opportunities you miss by acting slowly may not be worth the risk. This is a gambler’s influence, and many people respond to it by taking very long-shot risks. It makes you want to gamble, but it does not make you especially lucky.
In your relationships the theme of freedom will be emphasized. You may become restless and want to be free of an excessively restrictive relationship. You are inclined at this time to break away from secure situations and leap out into the unknown simply for the sake of the challenge. However, it may be that someone else will struggle to break free from your influence. Someone who has been with you a long time and has seemingly been satisfied may suddenly want out. But this is not likely to happen unless you both have been feeling a strain in your relationship, although you may not have chosen to recognize it until now.
If you have been putting up with a tense and strained situation but not getting any benefit from it, you will break free of the tension now and probably experience an enormous sense of release. Even if you don’t want to let go of the situation, you will probably be happier once it has gone.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975

Moon Square Mars
Theme:activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007
Letting off steam
Weak, transient effect: Tonight there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.

So there you go…
As above…so below!
Tally Ho and Onward LugNutZ!!

Congrat’s to Kevin for winning the Busch race!! ( Imagine that?!!)

NASCAR - Daytona 500 - Kyle Busch Astro -Prediction

I am going to clarify myself here, as I received many an e-mail that I “pick” on Baby Busch too much.
Boohoo. That’s why I call him Big Baby Busch. His fans too. I get more beat ups from them than any other’s. GET OVER IT. It’s all in fun. I cannot help it that he is an Alien. He is what he is in the world of NASCAR’s Alien Takeover. He will always have the chance to repent and become an Earthling in The Church.
I call all the ’scopes as they are, not because I like or dislike any driver. I know I have a lot of new reader’s this season. The horoscopes are generated according to each driver’s Astrological Natal Chart. Computer generated and interpreted. I print them as they read.
Kyle Busch’s scope reads that he is likely to cause an accident and that he will probably be particularly aggressive tomorrow. Period.
Here is is:

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Moon Square Uranus
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Wild
Today during the day the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement and tempting danger with this influence. and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.If you are a tempter of danger, daring and pushing things to the edge, you may cause upsets for others around you. There is a leaning towards causing automobile accidents with this influence.

I have been doing these ’scope’s for a long time and this aspect is quite influential. Remember Tony and Matt last year? Remember Tony’s temper many times? This is the aspect that rules his ’scope for those days. Kyle has had it a lot. Think about why he ended up in some trouble with Mr. Hendrick and NASCAR last year and had to be a good boy for the rest of the season.
I also want to remind those of you who are new to my blog, that I also believe that Kyle Busch has the potential to be one of the greatest driver’s in NASCAR history, Some day…maybe if he can learn some self control. He’s young. He might. His natal chart shows that self control and temper issues are his biggest life lesson. Just like Tony’s does.

So as I said before to Tony, Ryan and Robby, Jr., and every other driver on the track…watch out for and stay away from Baby Busch.

NASCAR 2007 - Who will the New Gillette Young Gun Be?

Who will the next Gillette YoungGun be? Kasey Kahne has my vote. Or Martin Truex Jr. except for the tire issue…But then Young Guns are supposed to be daring, young, and brazen right?

Run over to Gillette Young Guns and vote really quick for the New Gillette Young Gun. The winner will be announced on the Feb. 18th and there is still time to vote every day!. The winner will be randomly drawn from the correct answer and will win a trip to one of the races and a Gillette Phantom car! There is also a daily trivia contest running until June that you can play everyday with a lot of cool prizes and instant winners!
It would be way cool if one of our Church Member’s won!!
Tally Ho!! Onward!! Good Luck!!

NASCAR 2007 Predictions - The Dueling has begun!

Congrat’s to Tony Stewart (**The 4th win of 2007!!) and “**why are they looking under the car with a flashlight?” Jeff Gordon! Alas…I am once again in the Burnt River Canyon and must leave to the wilds of the mining world of rocks and tunnels and gold and gems in a few minutes, and will have no sat signal to find out until probably tomorrow or worse…(scary!!) Sunday. Or maybe I will just go home. The air here makes me better. I think the only reason I was sick is because I was in the city with the lovely inversion and pollution. I was fine as soon as we got here.
Dale Jr. came back after that spin, with an awesome run!! Way to go!!
I was also very happy that Mikey earned his way in the way he should have and was humble and pensive about the “issues” that have arisen. He is acting as I would expect him to as a fine human being with true character would. I was sweating on Front row Joe. Whew!! Mike Wallace fought like heck and pulled it off. I was sorry Brian Vickers got wiped out and Juan Pablo Montoya wasn’t able to stay in the race. I think he just didn’t feel that tire. Oh well, he’s in . I think I will call him John Paul, or the Pope. Isn’t he almost a Pope in the auto racing world? I am sure I will offend someone eventually this yea, so I may as well start now.
Robby? Ouch. Darn. Oh well.
I was really rooting for my 72 year old hero, James Hylton. I was sick that Ward Burton didn’t make it.
Well LugNutz!! The time has come! It was great today and can only get better on Sunday and through the rest of the season.

My picks of the top 12 to move into the Chase in 2007, according to the Astrological data of all the drivers ( Yes I have looked at all of them. ) and the events of NASCAR as an entity of it’s own?

10. Kasey Kayne
11. Matt Kenseth
12. Dale Jarrett
Twelve and a half - Kyle or Kurt Busch
**Not in any particular order with the exception of Tony and Ryan being in the top two…oh and Robby and J.P.

In case I am not able to get ’scopes up in detail?
Ryan- Your OK…be careful of “paybacks and tire issues.

D.J. -Looking good
Mikey - Car looks faulty

Kevin - TEMPER ASPECTS
Dale JR. - Looks good but a little shaky in places. Stay away from the 5 car.
Every other Driver? Stay away from the 5 car. His scope is SCARY** bad…evil…mean.
Just knock him out early with out hurting him. Hurt the car bad tho.

OK there’s the Gospel of Daytona according to Clance and Al.
Tally Ho!! Have a great one!!

ONWARD!!

NASCAR 2007 _Mikey’s Star’s

One of the themes I am seeing over and over in all of the driver’s 6 months scope’s is the “This is the time where choice’s between honesty, integrity and walking fine lines are the main lesson of the year”.
This aspect, Jupiter trine Mars, creates an easy flow of energy that enables one to act much more effectively than usual and to take initiatives that demand foresight, careful planning and considerable self-confidence. Almost any initiative taken now will work out as wanted, if done with complete and total integrity. It is a good time to start any enterprise.
Actions are governed by a strong sense of integrity. One may be ambitious during this time, but, it is very important to achieve goals correctly and in accordance with ethical standards. Others will recognize the integrity, which will increase their confidence in the driver whose ’scope has this aspect.
Under this influence there will be a strong desire to make something of one’s self in the broadest sense of the term. For example, there is the drive to succeed, particularly in some project that one has started themselves.
This influence also signifies actions aimed at enlarging one’s scope of action, giving one more freedom of movement and creating opportunities for new experience.
This is a good time to approach a persons one does not usually get along or someone who one may have a temporary dispute with and make an effort to settle it. It will be easy to convince the other person of the integrity of your motives because it is true, and they will respect that. If you are involved in a legal controversy, this influence is a good time to settle that dispute on terms favorable to yourself.
I will be focusing on this aspect quite often during the season.
Here is one ’scope in particular that this aspect has a lot of affect on:

Michael Waltrip, born on 30 April 1963
The report was generated for 6 months starting from February 2007 with the following birth data: male, born on 30 April 1963 at 12:00 noon in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Your sun sign is Taurus. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Leo, and your Moon is also in Leo.

Neptune conjunction Descendant:
Theme: Beware of “experts”
Beginning of April 2006 until end of January 2008:

At this time your close, intimate relationships will be difficult and confused. Also you should be very careful about consulting others for advice now, even professionals such as lawyers, marriage counselors or doctors. Of course, not all of these people will give you erroneous information even under this influence, but you would be well advised not to suspend your own critical faculties just because someone else seems to be an “expert.”
A marriage or other partnership will be difficult because communications are unclear now. Perhaps either you or your partner is trying to conceal something from the other. If so, you should stop concealing it as soon as possible, for it can only undermine the confidence you must have in each other. Even if you are concealing something for the other’s “own good,” your partner will not see it that way, and her confidence will still be undermined.
However, you may not be hiding anything. It may just be that communications between you are getting worse. Make sure that you really understand each other, and do not assume that you understand or that anything you say or do is understood automatically. Spontaneous and immediate understanding is not a feature of this influence.
Avoid legal confrontations at this time, if at all possible. Completely unexpected events are likely to happen, which you won’t be prepared for. And your opponent may use underhanded tactics that could hurt your position badly. In general your enemies, if you have any, will be very deceptive during this time. It will be very hard to understand their tactics, let alone deal with them. They may even make false overtures of friendliness to you. Do not treat everyone with suspicion, but don’t take everything at face value either.

Saturn conjunction Ascendant:
Theme: Following through
Mid September 2006 until mid June 2007:

This is one of the most significant times of your life.
During this time your responsibilities will increase considerably, and you will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling them. Therefore your life will become more complex and simpler at the same time. You are finishing up certain tasks in your life and going into a five- to eight-year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning. You will be cutting some elements out of your life and working hard to complete others.
During this time you may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done. Old tasks that have never been completed must be finished now. At work, you may have to exert more effort in order to get the job done. Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have. This may not be a very light-hearted time, but it should be quite productive. But do not start out on a completely new project, because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it. Finish what is unfinished and simplify your life.
Good relationships will not suffer appreciably during this time, but bad ones will break up completely. You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is unnecessary or in the way of your development during the next few years. Bad or difficult relationships may be among the elements that are discarded.
Try to avoid building a wall between yourself and others, for this is a great danger now. Duty, responsibility and obligations do not preclude personally satisfying relationships, even though you may feel that they do. If you cut yourself off from others unnecessarily, you will become lonely and depressed. The people who belong in your everyday life are very important for you now, especially since you are excluding those who do not belong. Often it is good to seek out the company and advice of older people, for they have the insight and understanding you need.

Saturn opposition Saturn:
Theme: A material peak
End of September 2006 until beginning of July 2007:

If you did not clear away the structures and patterns in your life that were working badly some seven years ago, this influence will be quite difficult. The old failures that you have not handled properly in the last several years will make your life exceedingly difficult now. However, everything that you have handled well will reach a culmination and prove more fruitful than ever before.
In your work you may reach a peak of success, which will be accompanied by increased responsibility. In that case you will work extremely hard but very successfully. On the other hand, you may receive abundant evidence that you are working in the wrong area altogether. This would be manifested by extreme difficulties in your work situation, such as finding your efforts blocked by coworkers or superiors. If your superiors disapprove of your performance, you should completely reevaluate your work. Even if you are doing good work, this may be a signal that the job is inadequate from your point of view. This should not be an occasion for self-doubt and despair. Rest assured that you are supposed to be doing something else.


Best be getting it together Mikey…you are better than what has transpired, and I believe, that when your daughter ask you why you “cheated?” that it was, indeed, one of the most difficult times of your life.

Good luckin the Duel!!

NASCAR Adrenaline Overdose??

I seem to have picked up either some kind of really horrid bug or am having an extreme reaction to the adrenaline rush I got from the Bud Shootout. I am not sure which it is. I am an adrenaline junky and maybe I overdosed.
Going back to bed..and staying there til I feel better.
I hate kneeling at the porcelain god’s throne.

Bud Shootout- Tony Stewart Wins!!

Congrats to Tony for winning the Bud Shootout! There was some great racin‘ there. Slick tires, “ya best get out of my way” types of signals…I loved it. I thought for a moment that Baby Busch was coming along side Tony to tell him how much he appreciated the 8 more laps to go (”excuse me , I have somewhere to go”) bump, but he was a good boy.
I am so glad the season has started. I missed it alot.
I was really sorry that Elliot, Jr., and Denny had the finish they did. They were running so well.
That is one of the things I love so much about the sport. You never know what the outcome will be til the finish line is crossed.
Thanks so much to all the Driver’s that compete so hard. They all deserve applause. Every driver in the Cup has worked very hard to get where they are.
Tony as usual spoke his mind today. I love it! When he said that France n=makes millions or billions (whatever it was) he could at least hire couple people to get the debris off the track without making the driver’s miss practice time. I agree. I also volunteer for the job. Dale and I both.
Ta-ta for now! May the rest of the weekend bring you Love, Light and Blessings!
