LYING

If you ever find yourself in a liar’s contest I guarantee you can win hands down, if you just claim, “I have never told a lie.”

Lying is always about control.  They want something.  Like a child they want it when they want it – like NOW!

The motive that generates the lie is what is of the most importance.  Your true intention is revealed by your actions.  As my friends who have lived longest in this land say, “Words are like whispers, Actions are like thunder!”

The following is noted in a rather popular book called the Bible.  Luke 12:2  “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.”  This same book has 10 Commandments listed.  Note, they are not just suggestions!  Depending which source you use,  # 8 or # 9 are about lying.

The early Christians, the Gnostics, had only 2 Commandments.
1.      DON’T TELL LIES.  You know it is a lie and you diminish yourself even though others may believe your lie.  “The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.”  George Bernard Shaw

2.      DON’T DO WHAT YOU HATE. Now that should simplify your life.

Lies are also sometimes known as “dissembling, propaganda, or adjustments of reality”.  Give it a fancy name and it may fly!  Politics is the deliberate use of words to screen intentions.  That may be why the majority of lawmakers are lawyers.  We would have a very different world if most lawmakers were farmers! Lawyers are often called “professional liars”.  Their motive is to get what their client wants.  That may have absolutely nothing to do with the truth.  That is why so many of them have “potato faces” by about age 40.  A lot of lying shows in the face.  Nurses are also often called professional liars.  The patient asks “how am I doing” and they are not allowed to speak the truth because only the almighty doctor can answer that question. Therefore they are experts at fabricating and hem and hawing!

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Be wary of people who tell you how honest they are.  Hang on very tightly to your purse.

Only the logical brain, left side of the brain can lie.

I know a man who’s Father very often told him as a child, “Whatever you do, DO NOT LIE TO ME.”  Naturally, this man became very skilled at lying, or though he was skilled.  It is not the wisest move to try and lie to a person who is psychic!

The most common signs of lying are not being able to look the person you are lying to in the eye.  The liar often brings one or both of his hands and touches his face near his mouth.  It is as if they may have second thoughts about letting the lies out of their mouths.  They realize they can’t stuff them back into the mouth once sent. They will also often speak in a louder voice than normal with much emotion as if that automatically makes it true.  They even think if they repeat their lies often enough they will become true.

Telling the TRUTH often startles, offends, endangers, and upsets the status quo.  Just look at Edward Snowden, and the long on-going mess at the VA hospitals and the other Government Agency, CDC. The many other whistle-blowers in Corporations and Governments agencies take a tremendous risk when they speak the truth.  Just because people have some authority does not mean they also have integrity.  I have even been lied to by a nun and also by a priest who were Principals of High Schools, one in Kansas and one in New Jersey. Truth tellers are considered dangerous.  They are sickened by the level of corruption and compromise that most people find perfectly acceptable and useful.  One of the more startling moments I had in a classroom was when a sophomore in a high school in Arizona asked me what “integrity” meant.  He was not a 4^th grader!

A bully is a self-centered person who must have his or her own way.  If challenged the bully will reacts with angry outbursts or enraged confrontations.  Bulling, like sexual harassment, creates a hostile environment, at work or in the home.  And that certainly was the atmosphere at the Nixa Post Office.  Gossip, slander, and ostracism are major weapons of indirect aggression.  A habitually liar often believes their own lies.  When asked a direct question, which if they answered truthfully it would be revealed they had been lying, the liar will often take the dodge of “I don’t remember” or “the Fifth”!  Once I know a person has lied to me, I never trust anything they say in any future dealings.

Language was given to humans so they might conceal their thoughts from others.
When communication is difficult it is a sign that love is not fully present.

Now to the fate of the Postmistress of Nixa, Yvonne Renee Curro.  Her last day at work was July 11.  I was told she took “early retirement”. They are auditioning for new Postmasters to date!  Heaven help us if they recruit from the same agency they recruit for the VA and the CDC.  

Renee knew she was lying and I knew she was lying and she knew I knew she had absolutely NO INTEGRITY!  She had been lying for the last 2 years about the mail delivered to my mail box that was not addressed to either of my two names. The USPS in Kansas City decided to believe her blatant lie and add a few of their own about when it was corrected.  Then they swept it under the rug.  You cannot undo the past but what interested me most was her MOTIVE for stopping my Joy Archer mail delivery for eight and one half months.  That is a crime that can land you or I in a Federal Prison!  The only motive that made any sense is she hoped to rid Nixa of an Astrologer.  That just shows her ignorance or lack of education. “The Three Kings from the East that presented Jesus with gifts at his birth were Astrologers”. Galileo was also an Astrologer but that didn’t help him with the ignorant Pope and Cardinals.  Even when they looked into his telescope that decided to not believe their lying eyes!   

The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of an eye, the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.  Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

I learned a great deal from this ugly and costly experience. I have people I can call on for help all over the USA. 
Some of the interesting things I learned are the following:
1.      The Post Office is not a true Government Agency.  Check it out on Google.  It is a Rogue Agency and they can do as they like without repercussions from the Inspector General.
2.      The Postmaster General in D.C. is supposed to be Patrick R. Donahoe.  He may be a ghost because you certainly cannot call his office or e-mail it.  I know Postmasters who don’t even know the phone number of his office.  Maybe he is on the golf course all day!  I sent Certified mail to him a second time on February 6, 2014 that cost $9.25.  I never did receive any kind of response, letter, e-mail, or phone call.  So save your time and money.

3.      A friend’s husband was on a motorcycle and a Mail Truck while delivering mail hit him and he was severely injured in a western State.  Their lawyer was told that the USPS trucks have no insurance!  The husband was in his early 50’s and died 18 months after the accident because his heart was damaged in the accident.

4.      A friend in Florida received very little mail because his utility bills are paid automatically on the Internet.  Without his knowledge, his Postal Deliveryman also put into the USPS “Automatic System” that he had moved and left no forwarding address.    So it happens more often than I thought.

5.      A man in Nixa received his paycheck in the mail.  It arrived very sporadically!  His company and his bank are both very patient and understand the routine of replacing the check.

6.      Most of my neighbors on two streets routinely receive mail that is not addressed to them in their mailbox.

7.      Postmasters are being hired in a Midwestern State that has to work 40 hours or    more and have NO BENEFITS!  Is this the death rattle of the USPS?

I APOLOGIZE that the comments several people have left in the past do not show on my blog.  My webmistress lives in the Philadelphia area and she is stronger on the creative side of websites. She said she is not as strong on the technical side.  She is very popular and busy with many clients.  She also has a beautiful family that keeps her busy.  So I have taken steps to attempt to correct the website so comments can be read by all.  It has been a bit difficult to find someone who will work on an Astrologer’s website in “Dogpatch”!
So please send your positive or negative comments to me at joyarcher3@juno.com.
I can then publish them on the blog.
Many Thanks and Love from Joy

Lying is always about control.  They want something.  Like a child they want it when they want it – like NOW!  That is like the husband who asked for a divorce late on a Sunday night.  He thought I could get a lawyer.  He already had a lawyer (provided free from his company) therefore we could wrap it all up on the next day, Monday.  The money had already been hidden.

The MOTIVE that generates the lie is what is of the most importance.  Your true intention is revealed by your actions.  As my friends who have lived longest in this land say, “Words are like whispers, Actions are like thunder!”

USPS OF NIXA, MO UPDATE

UPDATE March 28, 2014

This is an update of “Soap Opera Live” at the Nixa, Missouri Post Office!
On December 16, 2013 I discovered that someone at the Post Office in Nixa, Missouri had put into the automatic system on April 16, 2013 that “Joy Archer had moved and left no forwarding address”. Since that was very interesting news to me I investigated and hit a stone wall with the USPS.

Since learning of this stopping of my mail it has been 3 months and 12 days and the only positive thing done is I was told my mail for Joy Archer was resumed January 2, two weeks AFTER I DISCOVERED THE FRAUD!

I first contacted the Inspector General’s Office since it was clearly FRAUD and MISCONDUCT IN REGARD TO THE DELIVERY OF MY MAIL.
They were probably embarrassed that the FRAUD was committed by a Postal Employee who had to be incredibly ignorant. How does one person with two names, one stays and one move? They quickly shuffled me off to the Customer Relation in Kansas City, Missouri. I was told three different versions of what happened. The two very different verbal versions came from Jeff, the Supervisor, and the second` version came from Yvonne Renee Curro, the Nixa Postmistress. The third version came written in an e-mail on January 8, from the Kansas City Customer Relations. So on January I3, I wrote a long explanation of what was going on in the fly over land of USPS. It was mailed to the Postmaster General in DC, Patrick R. Donahoe on January 13, and has not been delivered to date.

On February 3, I finally received an e-mail from Kansas City that said

“In reference to your inquiry about the changes in your address, the “moved left now (sic) address was generated in house, however I don’t know who this was. Sherry did delete this once she got the case from the Office of the Inspector General. She also spoke with the person over the Nixa Post Office and advised them of the situation at Nixa. {This person left a message on my phone saying I could call him at a phone number 417-623-56013}
Whatever action that was taken concerning the employees there; Jeff, Postmaster, etc., we are not at liberty to discuss. Hope this helps.”

Therefore I sent an expanded version of the fun and games in Missouri USPS by certified Priority mail on February 6, 2014 and it finally was delivered to his office five days later on February 11. Have not heard one word from that office in working 32 days. Even though they have my mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. This is called being “Fluffed Off”!

I mailed a book to New Jersey on February 5 and it was not delivered until February 19. A first class letter addressed to Joy Archer from Texas mailed on February 25 finally arrived on March 13.

Around 6:30 PM on March 13, Renee Curro called me. I had to interrupt a business call because the ID s said “US Gov.”. I thought the hour of the call strange but was hopeful something was finally moving. I would have never answered the phone if I knew it was her. She babbled on a long, long time about the bad weather in New Jersey caused the book to sit 9 days without being delivered. When I asked her about my Joy Archer mail being not delivered for more than 8 months she again claimed I requested it. This time she even added that a counter person overheard my “so called request!” So she bribed someone to back up her bold lie! IT IS JUST AMAZING THAT I WOULD CLAIM ONE HALF of ME MOVED and LEFT NO FORWARDING ADDRESS!!! I confess I hung up on her.

She has inspired me to Title my next blog about lying, a very interesting topic. The key to understanding why someone lies is the “motive” for the lie. Some do it just for sport or as a game to puff up their ego by putting something over on someone.
Stay tuned!!!

An APOLOGY and a REQUEST

A very handsome and kind gentleman of Santa Fe alerted me to a situation I was not aware of that started on April 15, 2013.  He sent me a letter and it was returned to him.  He requested my current address by e-mail and, being an optimist, he sent the letter again.  It came back to him again with a yellow strip on it stating “Joy Archer has moved and left no forwarding address.”  I was bewildered to say the least.

I sincerely apologize to the various clients who had their mail also returned without my knowledge for more than 8 months.  I received some e-mail requests for my “current” address from clients when I knew they had my address.  It would be very helpful if you could let me know by my e-mail joyarcher3@juno.com  if that happened to you.  Your kind checks are very useful in keeping the cupboard stocked with chocolate and macadamia nuts, not to mention books and new software.  I realized in the future I could dispense with the USPS by using my Joy Archer PayPal Account.

So I went to the local Post Office and inquired of the reason for the non- delivery of my mail.  Jeff, the Supervisor, informed me they would put a notice on my sorting box.  He admitted the regular carrier was out for surgery for about three weeks and various substitute carriers were delivering my mail.  So I encouraged my friend in Santa Fe to give it a go for the third time.  Well, it came back to him in record time with the same yellow sticker on it.  So I called the Post Office on the morning of Saturday, December 14, and asked for help.  The lady said Jeff was outside putting chains on the trucks and would call me back.  There was no call back from anyone.  So on the morning of December 16, I went to the Post Office and spoke to Jeff.  He realized that the letter was returned in record time which meant the notice was originated from the “notification system”.  It didn’t even arrive at this Post Office.  So he checked the system and told me it was entered into the system on April 15, 2013.  He claimed that the regular carrier entered it because “mail was left in my box for several days and neighbors had told him Joy Archer had moved.”

It has been said that people who so often lie that soon they are the only ones fooled!

To help you understand the total nonsense of his story you should be aware that I have a “nom de plume” or pen name” which is Joy Archer.  Only 118 people have my maiden last name in the USA and it is very difficult to pronounce or spell properly.  In the 1960’s my clients often took 15 minutes to write a check.  I realized I needed a name that they could spell and remember.  I confess I took the “Archer” from a most delightful and intelligent lady I met when I was 20 years old.  She was one of the first kindergarten teachers in New York City.  I met her when she was 91 years old and greatly enjoyed hearing her many tales of her long life.  She spoke of the difficulty of getting onto the trolleys in Manhattan with the big hooped skirts they wore shortly after the Civil War.  Many of her students lived in poverty and seldom had any contact with nature so she had a floor to ceiling aviary built in the center of their classroom.  The birds never failed to delight her students.  She was in a train wreck and her head was injured and scared so badly that she lost most of her hair. I have a list of my hero and heroines and she is very high on my list.  I felt I could not steal her entire name so I had to come up with a new first name.  So I decided on “Joy” in hopes that I would be able to shoot it into the hearts of my clients.  People do not seek out counselors of any sort unless they are having troubles.  Troubles come in many sized and shapes.  I like to think of myself as a “professional weight lifter!”  I aim to lift the hearts and spirits of my clients!!

So the bottom line indicates that if Joy Archer moved, I had to have moved too.  So that Monday I asked to speak with the regular carrier when he returned to work on the following Monday in hopes of getting to the truth.  On Wednesday, December 18 I had to mail my last present to Arizona.  I noticed that the Postmaster of the town of about 19,500 people was walking behind the three counters.  I requested to speak with her.  She inquired of my concern and I told her.  She said she would check into the matter and meet me by the Dutch wooden door.  I waited a very long time.  Then a man with a cane entered the Post Office and you could hear him breathing from several feet away.  He came to the Dutch door and rang a bell.  She immediately opened the top part of the door and helped him.  She could not ignore me any longer because I was there patiently waiting.
Her version of what happened was even more preperrostes!  She and Jeff obviously did not have time to compare notes.  She claimed she put the notice of the move in the system “because I requested her to do so”.  I was shocked at such nonsense.  So she repeated the same excuse two more times and they quickly left claiming she was due at a meeting – most likely lunch!!  I have been receiving her lies for the past two years about the reason my mail box is full of letters addressed to strange names for two years. They all have to be more than 3 years old.  I knew the name of the man who lived here before me and it seldom showed in my box, probably because he died.  More than 6 times I have had 4 pieces of mail in my box with a different name on each letter.  One would be addressed to me and the other three names would all be different.  Wondered if they thought I was running a boarding home or a “cat house”!

I have lived here for more than two years.  I came from Arizona for the trees, green, moderate cost of living, and no arsenic in the water.  Wherever there was mining there will be heavy metals in the underground water.  Most of my life I lived in my own home.  That just means you pay rent to a mortgage company or a bank but you have to pay for the repairs.  After enduring in Arizona two different Property Management Companies from HELL it is almost like heaven here.  I live in a beautiful brick home built by my landlord who is a living Saint!  Also his repairmen are just so cute!!

So it is clear that someone in this small town, really a bedroom of Springfield, Missouri, which I fondly call “Dog-Patch”, does not think it is big enough to have a resident astrologer.  They did not have my maiden name move to parts unknown.  Prejudice is the child of ignorance!  I was told this town was the Headquarters of the KKK of Missouri.  So I will be able to roast some marshmallows if those burning crosses appear on my front yard!

If you lie as often the Postmaster does you would think she would be more skillful at it!  I thought it was a “Federal Crime” if you knowingly mess with someone’s mail.  The matter is being investigated at this time.
 
At least I don’t have to wear a “Scarlet A or a Yellow Star” on my chest yet! Stay tuned for more Soap Opera Live!

Yes Virginia, I mean Gary, There Is a Planet Called Pluto

You can bet the farm that Pluto would never be mistaken as Santa Claus!

Pluto was discovered by Clyde W. Tombough on February 18, 1930.  Clyde had just turned 24 on February 4.  Clyde served the USA with a distinguished career as an astronomer and professor and died at the age of 90. Clyde was employed at the Observatory that was built by Percival Lowell, of Boston, in Flagstaff, Arizona. It was on top of “Mars Hill”. When discovered Pluto was at 17 Cancer 46’ retrograde.  Pluto was conjunct the USA natal Sun at 13 Cancer 17’.  In the USA natal chart Pluto was at 27 Capricorn 34’ retrograde and in opposition to Mercury at 24 Cancer 13’ retrograde.  Today Pluto is at 8 Capricorn 59’ retrograde and will go direct on September 20.  Since it takes Pluto approximately 248 years to circle our Sun it will return to where it was in the USA natal chart on February 22, 2022.  Sure hope we are still a united Nation.  It was a serendipity event when my youngest daughter and I arrived by auto in Flagstaff on the 50^th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto, February, 18, 1980. 

Shortly after the discovery of Pluto, in June of 1930, Uranus, in Aries, was in square to Pluto in Cancer.  This adverse aspect was in effect until 1937.  Think “Depression”, “Dust Bowl” and the birth of the Nazi Party in Germany.

It was several years later on October 10, 1965 that Uranus and Pluto were exactly conjunct at 17 Virgo 10’.  Naturally they were within range of the conjunction for most of the 1960’s which spawned the Hippie generation as well as the Vietnam War Quagmire.  Then in May 2009 Uranus moved into range of the square to Pluto in early Capricorn.  These two very heavy duty planets will be making major mischief because of their adverse exchange of energy until 2018.  Since this square is in Cardinal signs there will be many changes with political implications worldwide.  There tends to be a large sudden lose of life when these two planets are in square aspect.  Uranus is like lightening. Uranus destroys without notice and since it is in Aries a fire sign, much of that destruction will be caused by fire, natural fire, volcanic fire, and the firing of guns.  When Uranus is square with Mars, a planet that takes approximate 2 years to go around the Sun, it is even more destructive with life on this planet.  There is always danger of suicide if Mars and Uranus are in adverse aspect in the natal chart.  A gun is the usual weapon of choice.

When Galle discovered Neptune on September 23, 1846 in Berlin it was predicted by Adams and Leverrier that there would be another planet beyond Neptune. Their calculations were later found out to be incorrect but Pluto was still out there in the cold just waiting for Clyde’s sharp eyes. When discovered, Neptune was at 25 Aquarius 53’ retrograde.  Neptune was exactly conjunct Saturn, 25 Aquarius 8’ retrograde. That is very telling because of the very strange political movements (Saturn) which soon arose across our planet and the deception by lies (Neptune) brought much hardship to such large groups of people. When discovered, Neptune was conjunct Saturn and they were also closely conjunct the Moon in the USA chart of July 4, 1776.  This does not bode well for the women of America. People in authority (Saturn) are prone to lie a bit (Neptune) in order to keep that glass ceiling firmly in place.  

Uranus the first of the three “Outer Planet” was discovered on March 13, 1781 at 24 Gemini 27’ and was the only planet of the three that was moving in direct motion when discovered.  Note that Uranus, a revolution prone planet, was discovered right after the American Revolution which was quickly followed by the French Revolution and also a Revolution in Italy.  It was very unsettled times for the people on planet Earth.  It is of interest that when Uranus was discovered it was conjunct Mars in the USA chart.  Maybe that explains the unrelenting love of guns in the USA which results in our country having the highest number of deaths due to hand guns in the world.  Not to mention the many mass shootings by any yokel with a gun and a grudge that is way too common in the USA.

There are many different times of the day on July 4, 1778 chosen for the various USA charts but there is really no substantial proof behind any of them.  Therefore the Ascendant or the placement of the planets in houses can not be known with any certainty.  But mostly all astrologers do agree on July 4, 1776 even though it is noted by Harry S Truman, a well read student of history, that the Declaration of Independence was actually presented on July 2, 1776 to the Continental Congress.  The first person to sign it was on July 4, but the final signer was months later. 

Uranus and Pluto’s plane of the equator is at almost right angles to the plane of its orbit.  Pluto can be seen with an amateur telescope but you have to be born lucky with very sharp eyes.  Due to Pluto’s eccentric orbit it was closer to the Sun than Neptune from January, 1979 to February 11, 1999. Pluto is smaller than our Moon and 6 other moons in our solar system.  Yet Pluto has a Moon called Charon, the ferryman of the dead across the river Acheron.  Pluto also has two tiny moons that were discovered in late 2005 by the Hubble Space telescope.

Now Pluto is classified as a “dwarf planet” after a very tight vote in Prague on August, 24, 2006 at the 26^th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union.  But I will guarantee that if transiting Pluto is aspecting any of your planets with a conjunction, square, or opposition you will know it.  Though they call it a “dwarf” it is a mighty powerful dwarf. The adjective that comes to mind with Pluto is RUTHLESS!  If Pluto is strong or especially harshly aspected in someone’s chart they tend to become a “Control Freak”!

Fritz Brunhubner, an excellent German Astrologer, was the first to give comprehensive work on the new Planet named Pluto in 1933. “Pluto” is a maroon hardcover with 94 typewriter pages.  It was a very good start.
I sharply differ with his political view. Today I would highly recommend Isabel Hickey’s book, “Astrology, A Cosmic Science”.  She originally published a booklet on Pluto in 1977 and that information is now in the book mentioned above.  Another excellent source about Pluto is Steven Forrest’s book “The Book of Pluto” published in 1994.  Rex E. Bills wrote a very useful book for any astrologer. It should be in every astrologer’s library. It is “The Rulership Book” published in 1971, where you will find 12 pages of just what are the concerns ruled by Pluto.

When I started to study Astrology in this life there were no computers.  We had to purchase the Die Deutsche Ephemerides from Germany because at that time they were best mathematicians. A talent in math was required to be an astrologer.  Today the math is completed much faster and precise by the computer.  The interpretation or diagnoses of the chart is still best from an experienced astrologer. Though Pluto was discovered in 1930 it was not listed in the Ephemeris until Volume V which was for 1961 to 1970.  Then in 1974 Lynne Palmer published a “Pluto Ephemeris 1900-2000” with daily positions which was a tremendous help.  I highly recommend any book written by Lynne.

Pluto rules the underworld and death.  Mining and oil come from below the ground and usually makes someone very rich.  Where do you think the term “Plutocrat” came from? Since oil is a liquid it shares the rulership with Neptune.  Pluto can indicate REALLY BIG MONEY.  Sometimes it is obtained ligetimetly but more frequently it is the result of organized or unorganized crime.

Some astrology books soft peddle death and turn it in to “transformation” but it is still death or ending of the physical body, of a habit, a belief system, of a leader of a county, or of a partnership. When Pluto is involved in anything I can grantee it will not be pretty. Pluto is a malefic in the greatest form.
