I would like to congratulate the winner’s of The “BACK IN THE DAY” contest:
Theresa from Florida and David from N.Y.
The question that every one missed was the question about what is the most important aspect in Jr.’s ’scope and what area of his life does it affect.
The answer is there are nmany aspect’s in his chart and they all are about his relationship with his employer and giving himself what he deserves.
Congrat’s to you both!!
I lost track of one of my all round favorite racing blogger’s Carrie (Flash of Genius) when I was gone so much over the summer. Thanks to Dale Jr.’s Infield Parking, I found her again. Or she found me. Anyway we found each other! Her new site, Bobbleheaded.com
continues with the same great writing, talent, quality and of course… focus on Robby Gordon. She just made a new video about Robby, to celebrate his fabulous 8th place overall and winner of the open class performance at Dakar, called:
I dare you…
Make sure you click on the title and take a look at it. Flash of Genius alright! Pure genius. Great job Carrie!!
I will continue with the 2007 Astro-Prediction’s today with Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr.’s ’scope. They seem to be in the news a bit right now and may need to take a look at their aspect’s so they don’t put their foot in their mouth anymore than they already have. **snicker…giggle…snort**
…And now for the listening pleasure of all you fellow LugNut Dead Head’s:
Here is a treat while you wait for more 2007 NASCAR predictions…You can listen to the full 3 CD new release of The Grateful Dead’s “Grateful Dead Live at The Cow Palace
New Year’s Eve 1976″
here…
I am in Dead Heaven right now….listening to Eyes of the World journey into Wharf Rat… and the great riff’s of Jerry….musical ecstasy.
This CD is really special to me. I have several tapes of it from trading, but this is digitally enhanced and absolutely awesome!
I was at that show. I was about to turn 18, in my senior year of high schoo
l and I ummm…told my folk’s I was going to a friend’s winter cabin with her folks…and she told her parent’s the same thing…and we hitch-hiked to San Fran-Freak-o to go to the show. Did we get caught? Well..uhhh…yeah. The punishment was worth it.
Tally Ho!!
Later LugNutZ!!
I will Not Fade Away…
Martin had a little issue with a cop when he was washing his tire…he should have read his horoscope yesterday. Here is exclusive video regarding his unfortunate incident:
Goin with the flow…or The Carwash Blues!
Martin’s ’scope for yesterday said this:
Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Tonight you will meet some sort of challenge to the structure of your daily life, that is, your home life, intimate relations, routine daily contacts and so forth. All of us have hidden 
tensions that cause us to operate in ways that we do not understand. The effect of this influence is to bring these tensions to the surface. Thus you may feel ill at ease within yourself and have a bit more difficulty in getting along with others, particularly with person’s in authority or women. Now several small areas of your life may simultaneously reach a crisis that forces you to pay more attention to what is happening. This is especially likely to happen with situations or persons that you have been taking for granted. You should take the time to correct little problems as they arise and give them the attention that they require.
I hate it when that happen’s to me…for more information on Martin’s fun night, you can read more here….
Here are the ’scope’s for Robby Gordon and Andy Grider for today’s Stage 13.
Mercury Trine Jupiter exact at 08:17
activity period from 18 January 2007 to 19 January 2007.
Theme: Positive thinking
This is an excellent time for making plans for the future and creating organizational systems, as well as for all other intellectual and mental efforts. However, there is a tendency to avoid really difficult mental or intellectual problems, taking the easy way out instead. But if you can create the proper sense of discipline, you should be able to overcome these negative effects and make this a day of very creative mental activity. This influence opens up and sharpens your mind so that you see, even if subliminally, all the possibilities inherent in a situation. This enables you to turn it to your best advantage. Also this influence gives you a well-founded feeling of optimism, which in turn creates the well-known “power of positive thinking.”
Mars Opposition Moon exact at 07:40
activity period from 18 January 2007 to 21 January 200
Theme: The other one
During this time you may find your own inward unconscious drives
mirrored in someone else’s actions. Usually this occurs as a conflict in which the other person acts very irrationally and compulsively in ways that are detrimental to your goals. Look at this person very carefully. Although it may seem quite magical, he or she is really reflecting your own inward ego problems. The other person is yourself! This is because you tend to project your inner attitudes onto the other person, rather than experiencing the other person directly as he or she really is. Unpleasant as it may be to deal with someone who is being difficult, you may learn a great deal about yourself in the process.
Venus Sextile Saturn exact at 20:50
activity period from 18 January 2007 to 20 January 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.
Moon Trine Uranus exact at 05:04
active only on 19 January 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.
Andy Grider
The aspects today increases the flow of communication and ideas between yourself and other people. However, it can also indicate serious ego conflicts and conflicts of will expressed verbally or through other means of communications. If you are not careful how you use your resources, you will encounter turbulence and difficulty. You may feel that you have an urgent message to deliver today, and you may find it difficult to wait for the chance to express yourself. When you have said what you wanted to say, others may be strongly opposed to it. A compromise may be necessary, but it will not be easy to bring about except by introducing a third party into the discussion. Just be careful that the third party is really neutral and that both you and your opponent are convinced of that.
Mercury Conjunction Jupiter coming into effect, with activity from 19 January 2007 to 20 January 2007, broadens your comprehension of any issue you are interested in.
and your understanding of life in general as you encounter it today. You are concerned with the largest, most comprehensive possible view, and you are eager to incorporate new information into your way of looking at the world. At the same time you are intellectually more tolerant of other viewpoints, seeing them not as a threat to your views, but as a way of enlarging them. Your ability to see the larger view today enables you to plan with foresight. Where others see only confusion, you can see a pattern and come up with insights that will amaze others. In business or social activities you are able to organize very effectively, grouping people together so they can work most efficiently.
Venus Trine Uranus
Theme: A Change of Pace
Active only on 19 January 2007
This is a good day for doing something different. You are probably bored with the daily routine and would like to do something that provides a stimulating, unusual change of pace. You seek this not only in diversions, but also in your relationships. The people you meet today are likely to be quite different from your usual friends. A love relationship that starts during this time is apt to be electric, exciting, unstable and short. You are not looking for a steady relationship now; as a rule you desire the unusual. You may make some unconventional arrangement with your lover, such as agreeing to have other lovers. This influence also causes relationships to begin suddenly and then quickly go through all stages of a love affair.
Moon Trine Pluto
active only on 19 January 2007.
Theme: A serious mood
Weak, transient effect: This morning your feelings and emotions are much more intense, but at the same time your sensitivity is stimulated. You feel everything much more powerfully than usual, and you are not likely to take your feelings or anyone else’s lightly. It puts you in a serious mood and makes you seek the most powerful and intimate encounters with another. Sexual relationships may be considerably enriched, because this influence enables you to get past the superficial levels of communication that may have been driving you and your loved one apart. In this way you can again feel as one. In general, life will call you to approach it with some passion and feeling. And if you can respond, it can be a very rich and rewarding experience in which you learn much about your feelings.
Moon Conjunction Jupiter
exact at 10:54
activity period from 19 January 2007 to 20 January 2007.
Theme:Heart over mind
Weak, transient effect: This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. Today during the day 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.
Mars Square Pluto
activity period from 18 January 2007 to 21 January 2007.
Theme:Fierce struggles
This can be a time for creatively transforming the world around you, or it can be a time of fierce power struggles and disagreements. These are the two poles that this influence swings between. It arouses your ambitions and makes you want to get ahead. Your energy level is very high, and you can use it to get a lot of work done. But unfortunately you will have a tendency to go about your work in such a way that you arouse great opposition from the people you confront. Or you may have to confront someone else’s energies, which may result in your taking a different course of action from what you originally intended. The energies of this influence can also lead to being the victim of someone else’s ruthlessness. Therefore you should avoid dangerous places and violent people.
So Dakar has come down to serious business. Robby and Andy are 8th place over all going into this stage , a few hours behind the leader. A couple of Rabbit’s are no longer in the way. A couple still are.
Tally Ho!! Onward!!
GAS ON!!
You know the saying “I’m out in Timbuktu?” Well…Robby and Andy are where Timbuktu is. Mali.
The Dakar Rally big wig boss’s decided to cancel the two Néma-Timbuktu and Timbuktu-Néma stages, scheduled for the today and tomorrow, after the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised against running the 10th and 11th stages.
In spite of the extensive surveillance and the guarantees provided by the Mali authorities,
this precautionary measure is vital in safeguarding the security of the competitors.
After the sporting teams of the rally considered an alternative solution, a loop stage from Néma to Néma, including a timed sector of 376 kilometres, which is what was run today. Tomorrow, the competitors will enjoy half a rest day, and will then take to the road for a liaison stage of approximately 280 km towards Ayoun-el-Atrous in Mauritania, from where the next start of the rally will start on 18 January, heading for Kayes in Mali.
Robby’s ’scope just get ’s better and better. This is his year. Period. Robby and Andy are 8th place overall as of today.
Here are the scope’s for Robby, Andy and Team Dakar USA for tomorrow:
Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Sun Conjunction Mercury
exact at 14:03
activity period from 16 January 2007 to 18 January 2007.
Theme: Getting across
Today you are likely to have many more conversations with people. Certainly this is an opportunity to get your point of view across to others, and you may be more inclined to talk than to listen. The nature of this influence makes you most 
concerned with matters that apply directly to yourself or that speak to you through your personal experience.You are more involved in examining yourself, stating your position with respect to others and announcing your intentions than in examining the world. You initiate communication, you talk to others and you express your point of view. Nevertheless, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the people and conditions you live with. Being excessively involved in yourself and your own ideas will weaken the effectiveness of what you do today.
Mercury Trine Uranus exact at 10:09
activity period from 17 January 2007 to 18 January 2007.
Theme: Untried and True
This is a very stimulating influence that will make you feel more alive and awake mentally than at any other time. Although your thinking may be somewhat lacking in care and discipline, you will make up for this in the scope of your intuition. This is an excellent day to tackle some problem that you have been unable to solve with tried and true solutions. New ideas will come more rapidly than usual. Solutions that have eluded you will be obvious, and your vision will have considerable breadth and scope. Any new phenomenon will interest you, and the idea of traveling to foreign places will be especially appealing. If at all possible, break with your usual routine and go off somewhere, at least for the day. If you do, you will be glad for the freshness that such a break introduces into your life.
Sun Sextile Neptune exact at 23:55
activity period from 17 January 2007 to 19 January 2007.
Theme: What it all means
This influence enables you to sense energies in the people and circumstances around you more keenly than usual. You are more aware of others’ needs and more willing to help them out. Others will be aware of your receptivity, and friends and neighbors may ask you for assistance. But you will not find this irksome, because service to others is a satisfactory form of self-expression for you now. You want to do it and you will do it. Spiritual and mystical concerns are likely to claim your attention much more than usual. Today it is not enough to understand what something is; you also have to know what it means. This is an excellent day to withdraw from your normal routine and meditate upon the concerns that are important to you.
Moon Conjunction Sun activity period from 17 January 2007 to 18 January 2007. Theme:A burst of energy
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you experience something like your personal “new Moon,” a time when your mind and body are recharged for the month ahead. Your feelings may now be very strongly influenced by the larger emotional patterns that dominate your life. Usually this influence is felt as a burst of energy in which will, physical vitality and emotions all work together harmoniously. The split between mind and feelings that often plagues us all is not noticeable now, and your relations with others, particularly in interactions with women, will probably work more smoothly than usual. This is an outward reflection of your inner harmony. Group efforts are very favorably affected by this influence, because it gives you greater sensitivity to the feelings of people around you.
Moon in the 10th House
activity period from 18 January 2007 to 19 January 2007.
Theme:Emotional display
This influence brings professional and business concerns into focus, but in a way that will test you. Your most intimate and personal life is on public display more than usual now, and you may find it difficult to hide certain facts about yourself. Obviously you are best off if you have nothing to hide. Even if you usually have reservations about emotional display in public, you are likely to indulge in such displays now. For example, you might have a public argument with a loved one or partner, or you might have a public outburst of good emotions. Perhaps you will want to help someone whom you know through your job and make the relationship something more than professional. But if it is to your disadvantage to blur the distinction between business and personal relationships, be careful, because you will tend to do this.
Moon Square Uranus
active only on 17 January 2007.
Theme: A bit wild
Weak, transient effect: This morning 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 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.
Moon Square Jupiter
active only on 17 January 2007.
Theme: The loftier side
Weak, transient effect: This is usually a very positive influence, making you feel very benevolent and generous toward those around you. This morning your spirit is inclined toward contemplation of the loftier aspects of life. You are not concerned with the nasty little details that make life less than it should be, although you are aware of them. But you simply cannot see any point in paying any attention to them. Emotionally you feel quite good, for this influence promotes optimism and positive thinking. At times this influence indicates self- righteousness and smug arrogance, as if you considered yourself as the embodiment of social truth and wisdom. This attitude may not be entirely conscious on your part, but it may be subtly evident in your phrasing or in an unspoken attitude toward others.
Andy Grider, born 28 July 1973
Mercury Sextile Neptune
activity period from 17 January 2007 to 18 January 2007.
Theme: Dreaminess
This influence stimulates the imagination in a very positive way. Your sensitivity and awareness of the subtler aspects of the world around you is greatly increased, and your intuition is much stronger than usual. Sometimes this influence accompanies a period of dreaminess, in which you spend much time fantasizing. In your contacts with people, you have a much clearer sense of what is going on in others’ minds. If you can keep your perceptions straight in your head, you will be astonished by the insights about people that this influence can bring. However, during this time it is often difficult to keep your intuitions sorted out. Clear thinking is not one of your strong points today, and in fact you should try not to use your rational mind very much. Rely more on your inner senses and feelings.
Moon Trine Venus
active only on 17 January 2007.
This morning this influence brings about pleasant feelings between you and everyone around you. It is a good time for being with friends or out having a good time. You enjoy everyone around you and they enjoy you. Similarly you will enjoy good food and drink now, but be careful not to overdo it. During this time you will tend to take things into yourself, so it is easy to overindulge. This is not a good time for getting very much work done, because it often brings out a lazy streak. One exception to this is that you may feel like working to beautify or otherwise improve your home. You need beautiful surroundings, and you will work to get them. This is a good time for love relationships. This influence by itself is too fleeting to start a major relationship, but it certainly is a help.
Andy’s moon is at Natal angle exactly at 20:15. I don’t get to see this very often. It happen’s to all of us…however I just haven’t seen it in the Driver’s ’scopes.
If he were a woman trying to have a baby, this would be the time to do it. This information is used in Cosmo-Biology, a theory that claims that this is the most fertile phase in a woman’s monthly cycle. Some women use this theory for birth control.
As much faith as I have in Astrology…I wouldn’t use it for birth control.
So tomorrow, a little rest…and then:
GAS ON!!
RABBIT STEW FOR DINNER!!
I can’t believe I did this. I wrote the ’scope’s all out last night, and saved it as a draft instead of publishing it. Duh….oh well.
Rosi from OnTheMove-RobbyGordon.com is going to be joining me for updates and commentary on Dakar. She is a bit more on the ball than I am, obviously.
From Rosi…just now:
Another good day for Robby.
Almost a top 10 for Robby. He finished 11th for the stage, with a time of 6hrs 05mins 12secs making him 33mins 09secs behind the leader.
Robby passed CP1 in 10th and CP2 in 9th
His overall standing now is 8th Total time 40hrs 04mins 22secs, he is 6hrs 20mins 59secs
behind the leader.
All the drivers are not in, so his positions could change.
Have a good day,
Rosi
Thanks Rosi!! I see that I didn’t send off that “note” I was supposed to either. What can you expect from an avid fan of The Apprentice. ..and Grease.
Also, there is a new map out of the Dakar Route, I don’t really understand that kind of topographical map, but my #1, #88, I mean #44 fan, Dale did. Of course he did , because he too is a high IQ donkey. See the map here…
Here are the scope’s for what has already happened.
Robby has some outstanding aspect’s in his ’scope for stage 9.
Mars Square Chiron exact at 07:47
activity period from 14 January 2007 to 17 January 2007.
Theme: Verbal Disagreements and Hurtful Arguments
During this time you should be careful and keep a tight rein on yourself - especially if you are anyway of a spirited disposition. If you are after some kind of “conquest”, it is quite possible that under this influence you ignore warning signs and advance too directly and abruptly. There is also the danger, at the moment, that you scent competition or opposition where there is none. If you are too sensitive and quick- tempered, take every criticism personally and react in an offended manner, then around every corner is an enemy, every conversation can turn into an argument in which you finally, without reason, and probably without conscious intent, hurt others and are presumably yourself hurt to the same extent.
Now the good thing is the negativity is all balance out by this aspect:
Sun Trine Pluto
exact at 07:34 activity period from 14 January 2007 to 16 January 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.
This is also an awesome aspect to have:
Sun Trine Pluto exact at 07:34
activity period from 14 January 2007 to 16 January 2007.
Theme: Transformative energies
This influence signifies that you need very intense and powerful experiences today so that you can learn everything possible about the inner workings of the world in general and your life in particular. This is an excellent day for taking up any kind of investigation or study. Look within yourself to determine what motivates you, what you are seeking in life and what changes you should make so that your life will run more smoothly. The transformative energies in your life now allow you to make changes rather easily and to derive great satisfaction from making them. In your contacts with others you can, if you choose, express yourself forcefully and with considerable impact. This is a good time to make an impression on someone, if you need to, but do not use this energy for ruthless or selfish purposes.
Andy:
Mars Opposition Saturn
exact at 21:43
activity period from 14 January 2007 to 17 January 2007
For many people, this is an extremely irritating influence, requiring great patience and forbearance as well as willingness to keep yourself in the background for a while. During this time you may feel lonely and cut off from others, as if you couldn’t get through to them. At this time you can do work that requires great concentration of energy and meticulous care. If you have been working on a project of this sort, it may now now approach completion or reach a critical culmination. Often other people’s aggressive actions will have blocked your success, but also you may have not prepared adequately for the challenges that any personal initiative must face. Make sure not to strain your body unnecessarily now. Try to relax and avoid situations that produce needless tension.
Moon Sextile Jupiter
exact at 00:18
activity period from 14 January 2007 to 15 January 2007.
This morning you feel quite good, and you enjoy being with congenial people. Probably it would be best to be with old friends whom you know well and with whom you have already established strong emotional ties. But you will not be closed to new acquaintances. You make it clear to those around you that you are concerned for their welfare and that you will help them out if they ever need it. And the chances are that they feel the same way about you. This influence denotes a time when you and your friends support each other and feel that you belong together. This is a good time for any sort of group activity, because by working together you all will feel that it is a group effort from which everyone will benefit equally. And this is true.
Moon Sextile Uranus
exact at 22:32
activity period from 15 January 2007 to 16 January 2007.
Tonight this influence gives you a pleasant feeling of restlessness, a desire for excitement but not to the point of disruption. You may feel like shaking up the people around you and jolting them out of their seeming lethargy. Or if you are not conscious of this desire in yourself, you may attract someone who shakes you up. Under any circumstances you want to be with exciting and stimulating companions. In your home and other close surroundings you are not willing to accept the same old situation. You may try to find ways to change your circumstances or at least provide some temporary excitement. It is possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend today, or an old friend will come back into your life unexpectedly. Friends may provide opportunities for advancement or for getting away from your usual scene for awhile.
Moon Sextile Ascendant
exact at 22:47
activity period from 15 January 2007 to 16 January 2007.
Tonight you are very sensitive to other people’s moods and can judge them quickly. You lend a sympathetic and friendly ear to people’s problems, for you have a strong desire to protect and support your friends emotionally. Peace and harmony in your personal world are very important to you at this time, and you are not willing to deal with someone else’s harsh feelings, except to try to smooth them over. Your sensitivity to other people also enables you to deal easily with groups. You respond to the group’s changes of mood and are able to fit your communication to that mood. Thus this is a good time for any sort of public appearance or situation in which you have to sell something to a group or persuade them of a point of view. You are able to make others feel that you are one of them.
So …yes….the ’scope’s for stage 10 will be done today. Rosi will be able to get into my blog to post as much as she chooses, and Tony and Jr.’s 6 month’s scope’s will show up eventually.
Here is the Video from Stage 5. My golly- gosh gee- whiz! Scary!! There must be some craziness involved. There is no other explanation why anyone would do this. Well, unless your an adrenaline junkie like I am. Plus crazy. I know that I would have some serious panic issue’s on that edge….O.k…you will understand why. Now you see what your opinion is. Could you keep you eye’s open on that edge? Could you keep your breakfast down?
I can’t wait to see the video from stage 6.
Stage 5 Video: (If you cannot see this, it is because YouTube is down for maintenece this evening.
Here are Robby and Andy’s ’scope’s for stage 7:
Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Mercury Trine Pluto exact at 03:04
activity period from 11 January 2007 to 13 January 2007.
Theme: The inner dimensions
This influence signifies a concern with the very deep issues in life. Today you are interested in what goes on underneath the surface of events and phenomena, and you are willing to dig until you find out. This energy can also turn inward, which is often very profitable. It may be beneficial to be alone so that others cannot distract you from
your inward search. For this reason you are likely to be attracted to subjects that reveal the inner dimensions of the psyche, such as psychology or astrology. You may encounter someone today whose ideas have a great effect upon your mind. This is a good time for learning something new, because you can allow your beliefs to be transformed by what you learn. Also you will tend to have a strong effect on other people’s thinking today.
Moon Conjunction Mars exact at 03:35
active only on 12 January 2007.
This morning is not a good time to discuss any issues that are critical to you, because you will find it difficult to maintain your equilibrium and not fly off the handle. On the other hand, if someone challenges you unjustifiably, you certainly won’t back down without a fight. The main problem is that your sense of perspective may be so distorted that you cannot tell the important issues from the trivial ones and will defend both with equal vigor. There is also the risk that you will act hastily on many matters, impulsively and without foresight or planning. All you seem to care about is exercising your will and getting your own way. Obviously with this influence, you must try to calm down and be willing to compromise on any issue that is not really central to you.
Moon Trine Moon exact at 03:14
active only on 12 January 2007.
Theme: Restore and rejuvenate
Weak, transient effect: This morning you should have a very strong sense of well-being. Your inner self is functioning harmoniously, and you do not feel emotional turmoil or strife. At the same time you are most contented with the familiar elements of your life. You enjoy being at home with relatives and friends, and you like being surrounded by the objects you are used to. You are not in the mood for adventures, challenges and major changes, nor is it necessary to be so. There will be other times for adventure. Now you should restore and rejuvenate yourself in peace and quiet. Physical comfort is especially important to you at this time, but it doesn’t have to be lavish. Your need is for a comfortable environment that seems supportive. You want to be surrounded by whatever you feel protects you.
Moon Sextile Sun exact at 23:38
activity period from 12 January 2007 to 13 January 2007.
Tonight 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.

Your energy level will be high, perhaps too high if you are not careful. Watch for signs of irritable impatience with others whenever things do not go exactly as you planned. Be assertive only when the situation calls for it, not whenever you feel like it. Also watch out for baseless conflicts with others, which you may not necessarily instigate yourself. Today you should be particularly careful of conflicts with authorities. Voice your complaints if they are legitimate, but expect a certain amount of hostile reaction to them.
Also be careful that the tone of your complaint does not aggravate this hostility. What you get is usually a function of the energies that you put out. On the physical level, try to find an outlet for your vigorous energies.

activity period from 12 January 2007 to 13 January 2007.
This morning you want to be with your friends and the people you love. This influence helps to ensure that you will have a reasonably pleasant time with them. Feelings of love and friendship may build in all areas of your life now, and you feel that life is richer and a little more rewarding. It is a good time to have friends to your home for entertainment. You are able to make them feel good, and they will appreciate it, for you make it clear that you care about them. In general, your home situation and immediate environment will be the sources of your greatest satisfaction during this period. Your light and cheerful mood will be picked up by everyone around you, too. However, you should be careful not to become passive.

activity period from 12 January 2007 to 13 January 2007.
Today during the day you will meet some sort of challenge to the structure of your daily life, that is, your home life, intimate relations, routine daily contacts and so forth. All of us have hidden tensions that cause us to operate in ways that we do not understand. The effect of this influence is to bring these tensions to the surface. Thus you may feel ill at ease within yourself and have a bit more difficulty in getting along with others, particularly with women. Now several small areas of your life may simultaneously reach a crisis that forces you to pay more attention to what is happening. This is especially likely to happen with situations or persons that you have been taking for granted. You should take the time to correct little problems as they arise and give them the attention that they require.
Moon Square Jupiter effective 11 January - 14 January 2007
This is usually a very positive influence, making you feel very benevolent and generous toward those around you. Today during the day your spirit is inclined toward contemplation of the loftier aspects of life. You are not concerned with the nasty little details that make life less than it should be, although you are aware of them. But you simply cannot see any point in paying any attention to them. Emotionally you feel quite good, for this influence promotes optimism and positive thinking. At times this influence indicates self- righteousness and smug arrogance, as if you considered yourself as the embodiment of social truth and wisdom. This attitude may not be entirely conscious on your part, but it may be subtly evident in your phrasing or in an unspoken attitude toward others.
All in all I think they will have a great day. There may be a few challenges, but nothing major,or that cannot be overcome easily. There are a few other Moon square somethings and Planet square somethings, that can indicate the “issue”, however they are short and fleeting and not worth repeating.
Tally Ho Team Dakar USA!! Onward!!

Updates on Robby and Andy :
Press Report From Robby Gordon.com Team Dakar USA
Stage Five Report: Ouarzazate - Tan tan
While Carlos Sainz won the fifth stage of the 2007 Dakar, much of the buzz in the bivouac surrounded the impressive performance of American Robby Gordon and his Monster Hummer. Team Dakar USA was relegated to a 77th place start based on their finish in the previous stage. Gordon charged his black Monster Energy Hummer to a 15th place finish in the stage which moved him up to 36th in the overall classification. The finish was the best for the day in the Open Category.
Robby Gordon’s Quote after Stage Five
“The tires that Toyo brought to Dakar have been spectacular and it really showed today in the very rocky track. We passed quite a few cars today by leaving the track and we punished the tires and they survived extremely well. Our finish today will get us a much better start tomorrow so we are looking at getting the Hummer closer to the front so we can contend for stage wins. Much has happened so far but you have to realize that this race is just five days old and there is a lot of racing left. Our team is working hard and since we solved our fuel problem the Hummer is running exceptionally well. We are going to push hard and make something happen!â€
The Dakar Rally can be seen on the Versus Network in the United States. In addition Team Dakar USA has teamed up with Micron to provide daily video updates that can be seen on RobbyGordon.com. To see all the videos from the 2007 Dakar Rally visit youtube.com/rgm7
Fly says “RG wins stage 6 by 10 minutes+.”
Oh yeah!!
The ’scope’s for stage 6 look like this: Freaking GOOD!!!
Robby’s Moon moved in his 7th House today and is in effect until Jan. 14th.
During this time you turn your attention to your most personal relationships, in which you express yourself in a much more emotional manner than usual. This influence will affect a marriage, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. Loved ones and partners are much more important to you than usual, for they provide you with a feeling of security and support. And to be fair, you have the same interest in proving these elements for your loved ones.
Remember he also has some long term aspect’s that went into effect yesterday:
This is one of the best of all influences for group activities or activities with friends. You will feel friendly toward almost everyone, and they will be friendly in return. It is a good time to have friends in for a party or to go out with a group of friends for a good time. You will enjoy each other’s company immensely and be much more loving and affectionate with each other. This benefit is not limited to activities with friends. Any situation in which you deal with many people in a group setting, for example a business conference or organizational meeting, is favored by this influence. Your ego energies are low enough so that you can deal agreeably with others, making whatever compromises are necessary without feeling that you are losing something personal that you should defend.
Andy as well has some unusually lucky and harmonious aspect’s going on today during stage 6.
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.
Andy’s Moon Conjunction Uranus aspect in effect will also be especially harmonious for the race today.
This morning you feel impulsive and willing to act rashly. Your moods change so quickly that you surprise yourself as well as others. You may be with someone else who is like this, usually a woman. Probably you will be impatient with your normal routine and want to do something completely different. Assuming that the “something different” is within reason, it is probably all right to go ahead. In fact you might as well not bother trying to be disciplined and responsible for the next few hours. If you have work to do that requires great concentration, you will be able to focus strictly be able to keep your mind on you tasks.
That’s that.
I expect The Monster Hummer to kill some Rabbit’s in today’s Stage 6.
Right on!!
Gas On!!
Robby and Andy had a day, with a few issues, as their ’scope showed. They had an issue or two…
( eek!) and a 13:00 penalty, uh…maybe driving a bit fast… but are still 22nd overall.
Robby Gordon always been very Fan approachable and appreciative. Andy is a really soft spoken guy…You would never know they must both be freaking crazy.

Mars Square Pluto exact at 20:19 activity period from 8 January 2007 to 11 January 2007.
Theme: Fierce struggles
This can be a time for creatively transforming the world around you, or it can be a time of fierce powe
r struggles and disagreements. These are the two poles that this influence swings between. It arouses your ambitions and makes you want to get ahead. Your energy level is very high, and you can use it to get a lot of work done. But unfortunately you will have a tendency to go about your work in such a way that you arouse great opposition from the people you confront. Or you may have to confront someone else’s energies, which may result in your taking a different course of action from what you originally intended. The energies of this influence can also lead to being the victim of someone else’s ruthlessness. Therefore you should avoid dangerous places and violent people.
Remember where they are…and some of the course changes already made because of safety issues. Scary places these racer’s are driving…
Moon Square Moon exact at 14:24 activity period from 9 January 2007 to 10 January 2007.
Theme:Discordant emotions
Weak, transient effect: This influence, although not long lasting, can provide some moments of difficulty and irritation. Your emotions are discordant, and you may be more inclined to get into disagreements with others. This will probably have the greatest effect in your most personal life and domestic situation. Consequently you should watch out for unnecessary conflicts with loved ones. In a group, you will not feel that your interests are in accord with the others’ interests. It is not a good time to work with people or to make any kind of public appearance, if peace and harmony is your goal. However, if you are trying to stir people up about some issue or call their attention to circumstances that must be dealt with, this influence can be quite helpful, although the others may not appreciate your role in this.

Theme: Expect the unexpected
This c
an be a somewhat disruptive influence, during which you are subject to sudden upsets or to behavior that is upsetting to others. Under this influence it is quite likely that you will not follow your normal routine as on other days. There could be an automobile breaking down unexpectedly, a sudden argument or an unexpected separation from someone. The point is that you can expect the unexpected today. You are striving to break down your everyday routine, and it would be best to find ways of doing this intentionally, rather than waiting for it to happen. Let the restless spirit within you express itself. You need new air! You may very well discover a valuable aspect of yourself that you never knew existed, because you were afraid to let it come out.
Venus Conjunction Jupiter

activity period from 9 January 2007 to 10 January 2007.
Theme: Infectious good mood
This is probably the most agreeable influence of all in its effect upon your mood and in the way it makes your life work. It is extremely good for all types of relationships, whether professional, personal, social or intimate. You feel optimistic, eager and outgoing, warm and friendly to everyone you meet. This time is also lucky financially. You may have a sudden windfall, although this is not the usual manifestation. You are inclined to indulge yourself and to spend money, especially on lavish or beautiful objects. In many respects, self-discipline is at an all-time low at this time, but it usually is not needed. Celebrations held at this time are unusually successful, for you at least, as is any kind of entertaining or social occasion. This will be due partly to your infectious good mood.
Think happy,safe thoughts…
These are just the coolest…need I say more??

Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Cancer
This astrological combination indicates a sensitive individual who is vulnerable to external influences. Your general life outlook is one of economy and prudence. You find fulfillment in home life and there are good prospects for possessions, fame, and reputation.
Emotionally you tend to concentrate, conserve and utilize energy, as well. You constantly relive experiences in an effort to organize your life and achieve a unity of will.
The key to a more harmonious existence lies in heeding your individuality and just opinions.
Ascendant in Aries, Mars in the Seventh House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Aries was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars is located in the seventh house.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives seem also desirous of being “first” in all activities with which they happen to be involved. The cardinality of the sign makes you extremely active and capable of displaying ambition, impulsiveness, courage, and boldness in order to satisfy your desire for prominence in the world.
The general course of your life will be filled with many ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ and changes conforming very much with the psychological nature of your temperament. Whether you triumph or not in life depends on your ability to develop your most positive inborn qualities and, simultaneously, exert some control over your less favorable characteristics, such as a lack of prudence, and a certain disregard for the feelings and opinions of others.
Aries gives a tendency for its natives to be inclined to politics and public work. You should be successful (or at least attempt to be so) in any work or activity that necessitates pioneering ideas and/or a militant disposition. You also appear to have an ardent attitude in any project that somehow or another involves new concepts or original work and in which you are given a position of leadership. One of your problems is that in your love for achievement in novel projects you tend to destroy old concepts and former contributions which would, perhaps, have been useful for your endeavors. Impulsive, critical, despising mean or dubious acts, you will create many excellent friendships but also important enemies. Your life is rich in passion and ardent love. In sexual matters you are quick, aggressive, and to the point. You also are a lover of pleasures, which you feel with a bright, open, and sparkling character.
Mars, the ruler of your life events, is found located in the seventh house. This indicates a life full of events and changes, and a fighting disposition of the native which can create open and powerful enemies. There is a tendency to become involved in wars and conflicts, both public and personal. Your marriage or any other intimate relationship could be subjected to quarrels and animosity, and your partner could become the dominating member of your household.
Saturn in the First House
Saturn is in the first house. Saturn’s placement here gives you a conservative, sometimes gloomy and self-denying outlook on life. Because every contact is of great importance, you tend to be rather detached and even aloof so that you can be sure exactly where you stand. You can be self-conscious and may feel awkward and prudish with others who appear to take things more lightly. The depth with which you look at yourself is characteristic of the way you relate to others.
You were taught very early in life to be self-reliant, and you were often given more responsibility than usual for your age.
Your intellect is constant and usually unfettered by momentary feelings and whims. Logic plays an important role in your thinking processes. Grandiose schemes and theories have little interest for you.
Once you accept your own limitations and face up to your challenges and responsibilities with a sense of purpose, you will be able to succeed in whatever field you decide on. Your health is generally good, so long as you exercise sufficiently to relieve tension.
**Note: Saturn is technically near the end of house 12 and is therefore interpreted in house 1.
Saturn Conjunct Ascendant
Saturn conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you are conservative and self-disciplined. You tend to be shy about asserting yourself, so people may assume you are indifferent to them.
Your lack of self-confidence will eventually be replaced by self-assurance as you learn through experience to understand yourself. You do not have the kind of aggressive drive that impresses people on first meeting, but you show reliability, and they learn to depend on you.
You are efficient in mobilizing your resources and are sure to realize your goals, but you underestimate your abilities.
Responsible to a fault, you will never let anyone down who depends on you. Learn to love yourself more, so you can feel you deserve the good things in life that you work for so diligently. You can be victimized by people who take advantage of your unwillingness to fight for your rights, but you never forget such incidents.
Moon in the Third House
The Moon appears in the third house at the time of your birth. Your intellect is very sensitive to external events always changing and adjusting to the situation.
Memory is strong and of a pictorial nature. The mind, however, is liable to become too subjective and shallow with an overemphasis on superficial learning and with little practical use or lacking in intellectual sensibility. On the favorable side, there exists a vast reservoir of creativity which could be successfully applied to such pursuits as writing and poetry. Physically, the Moon will give you an intensely active life full of changes, mobility and fluctuations.
The demands of this position are simple: exert yourself in acquiring better control of your unstable and persistent imagination, increasing, thereby, powers of concentration and you will find delightful improvements not only at a mental level, but also in the ability to communicate with others more realistically.
Sun in the Tenth House
The Sun was in the tenth house at the time of birth. The Sun here promises honor, success, and prestige in adult life. Publicly you appear as a vital, proud, powerful person. Your individuality has the need to manifest itself publicly and often to foist its energy on others. You have come to life with a satisfactory physical and moral heredity and you are going to acquire the favorable disposition of many persons of power to assist you in your ascent through life.
Your liabilities include an exaggerated pride, arrogance and a tendency to rely too much on your own resources.
Note: The Sun is technically near the end of house 9 and is therefore interpreted in house 10.
Venus in the Eleventh House
Venus was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. Your aspirations in life are very aesthetically oriented.
You strive for peace and harmony and if it were left up to you the whole world would be more humane, kind, and considerate. In your more personal relationships, Venus gives you the capability of obtaining substantial gain and assistance through your friends, who will desire to assist you with the best of intentions.
