Using planets and stars, local astrologer predicts    uneasy months ahead

Gary Price, a medieval astrologer, herbalist and Buddhist, sits inside of his apartment on Thursday afternoon. He said astrology can help predict the future in small ways.

The Craigslist ad got right down to business.

“Medieval Astrologer,” it said. “Advice of any kind,   missing persons, or things.     Guaranteed.”

"Guaranteed," it said.

As a naturally curious     person, I responded to the ad. Then I sat in a coffee shop in Rapid City and waited  for the medieval astrologer to arrive.

I tapped my pen and thought about Carrie Fisher. I had grown up watching her as        Princess Leia from the Star Wars films. She had died the day before. It was a Wednesday, and 2016 still had us in its sadistic clutches for another four days.

From the ugliness of the presidential election, to the passing of dozens of beloved    celebrity icons, to the senseless carnage in Aleppo, Orlando and elsewhere, it had been a ridiculous and heartbreaking year.

Which is why I was         fidgeting in my seat at a Starbucks in downtown Rapid City. Soon the medieval astrologer would appear, panda bears and an orange flower on his mint green tie.

A small, bespectacled man, he slid his business card across the table past a stack of  books he’d brought     with him: “Lilly’s Christian Astrology” and “Predictive Astrology” by Bernadette Brady, a colleague of his, he said, whom he’d studied with in Australia.

A yin and yang encircled in a wheel of alchemic glyphs adorned his business card, and  the letters QHP next to his name: Gary Price.

“What do those letters     mean?” I asked.

“Qualified Horary Practitioner,” he said.

I blinked, then leaned forward and asked him in a deadly serious voice: Is 2017  going to be any better?

Price gave a warm and gracious smile. Opening his notebook, he explained he would focus on the United States, starting from what he called the Capricorn ingress, with one    disclaimer: His prediction would only be good for the first three months of 2017, until   the next ingress in March.

I nodded my assent, and he got to work deciphering.

“Zero degrees Aries rising … ” he mumbled as he began scratching symbols in the margins of a hand drawn     horoscope wheel. “Venus is on  the border of the Eleventh and Twelfth House … ”

Often associated with magic and the occult, astrology is the study of how the    movement of celestial bodies affects human affairs. Using star charts and horoscopes,        astrologists claim to be able to offer insight into a person’s life, even the  future.

The type of astrology he   practices is distinct, Price explained, in that it is based on ancient rules from  Babylonian, Chinese and Hindu tradition that have been either   tweaked or abandoned in some types of modern   day astrology.

Knowing how to draw up a   horoscope is only a small  piece of what he does, Price said. It’s his ability to accurately interpret the signs that he has had to cultivate over a lifetime of   experience.

“15 Aquarius, what we call an intercepted sign,” he   continued to mutter in a   low,   soft voice. “Jupiter  is in Libra at 19…”

Price is 60 years old. Born in New Jersey, he has lived all over the world. His father was in the Army, and was stationed at a base in Germany, where Price says he met       President John F. Kennedy as a child.

He went on to join the military, and spent 10 years in the United Kingdom, where he met his second wife, an Irish woman whose family,  he said with a mischievous grin, was   deeply involved in the Irish Republican Army.

It is she he credits for   sparking his enduring fascination with medieval astrology. A pagan and wiccan, she introduced him to covens, and took him with to seances to       commune with the spirit world.

“I’ve seen those circles,” he said. “I’ve been in      those circles.”


During his time in Great Britain, he joined a group of fellow astrologers.

“In London, very often we helped the police with their cases,” he said.

Later in life, he studied Buddhism and herbal medicine in the mountains of China and Taiwan. He spent 20    years there, met his third wife, and learned to speak the language. Sipping his coffee — cream, no sugar — he spoke the name of a Chinese village where   he used to live, then wrote it down in Chinese characters with an unfaltering hand.

“Saturn is a sign of       tradition,” Price said, continuing to work through his prophecy. “Americans are frustrated, and wanting to go back to family values and            traditional democracy.”

Price came to Rapid City    three years ago, and hasn’t had too many clients since. He knows how people see him. Eccentric, at best. A practitioner of the dark arts at worst.

He doesn’t see himself that way. He has a ouija board in his closet, but refuses to    touch it.

“Those things are dangerous,” he said.

Price practices astrology, he said, to help himself   and other people figure out their problems.

“I don’t know why people   have this awe about it,” he said. “It just works. I    wouldn’t keep doing it if it didn’t.”

With all his tabulations complete, Price finished     scrawling in his notepad and looked up.

“This is a house clearly   divided,” he said.

If I were looking for glad tidings to ring in the New Year, he didn’t have much   for   me.

“Other countries will suffer financially,” he said.   “They will have to deal on American terms if they want to deal at all. What that does to us is, it isolates us, because our ruler, our people, are here.”

The medieval astrologer    stabbed a finger into a quadrant on the wheel.

“You’ve got Mars in the Twelfth House,” he said, “The House of Sorrow and        Isolation.”

Underground. Underwater.   These are the words he used.

“It’s the gestapo, the     secret police,” he said. “Even against the American people.”

There will be a return of   “American toughness” at home as well as abroad, he said.   The world will see us in a new and diminished      light.

And of course, a glimpse beyond the veil into the year 2017 would be incomplete  without an appearance by President-elect Donald Trump. “Empty vessels make the   most noise,” Price said    with a smile.

Before shutting his        notebook, Price repeated that his forecast is only good for the first three months of the year. Until the   stars move again, the rest of the new   year will       remain a blank slate.

“So that’s how it starts   out,” he said.

I drained my coffee, shook his hand and walked back   out into the street. The sun was shining, and the snow was beginning to melt. The weathermen say it will be warm for a   few days over   the weekend, but another   blizzard will come again soon.

Terrific, I thought,        bounding over a puddle.    Something to look forward to.

Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota

Comment From Gary, update from residence near Mt. Rushmore. I usually check the headlines of Rapid City Journal, the only newspaper in this small town for news. Today, the paper carried an article about the renaming of Shannon County, the poorest country in the state, from Shannon to Oglala Lakota County. It appears that the govt. want them to get ‘permission’ even after on overwhelming vote in favor of the name change. My first comment is why does the state have the right to dictate what the Lakota Nation do on their own land? After all, even Rapid City, at the foot of the Black Hills really does belong to the Lakota under the treaty of Ft. Laramie. The second is that if one reads the article, it is clear that the state has to go along with it, and shouldn’t have to pass legislation. For more info. read at the link below: http://rapidcityjournal.com/blog/pierre-review/is-county-s-new-name-really-up-to-legislature/article_52f81fc0-8eb0-11e4-9c37-577d4e4a580e.html#utm_source=rapidcityjournal&utm_campaign=/email_newsletter/daily_headlines/&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline This is just one more example of bureaucracy gone haywire!

Avoiding the tentacles of the Octopus

Standard

Having been away from the USA for the past two decades and completing “The China Adventure-

Journey into China, Part I & 2″ (see kindle books under Gary Price at amazon kindle store)-

I finally arrived at Dallas DFW-very gullible and very behind the times. Either America had changed,

or I had, or both.

One of the first important things to do was get a car (which lasted about 4 months before trading it in, figuring it wasn”t ‘me’) and getting internet connection.

I was surprised at the high cost of high speed internet in the USA, plus the many places in the states that still do not have internet access. We were able to access the internet in China, even in the most remote areas.

I went to Verizon and ordered a ‘share everything’ package-hearing a rumor that everything was also shared with an Unconstitutional NSA.  My first bill was over $400 and the second one was over $200.00!  No itemized bill was ever given, plus I had two complaints in with the BBB within the first two months. This being the most I had complained in over two decades, I found this rather daunting.

Then as I was at work (being lucky enough to land any job, I suppose), out of the blue, here comes the phone call from the big V, informing me that I hadn’t paid my $80-which was $40 each connection fee for two I phone 4’s! Well, I had never seen a paper bill, can’t find it itemized on the internet account and learned it wasn’t part of the original $400 which was the size of a mortgage.

I asked the representative when he/she was going to send me a new house, since being with this co. is the same as a bank loan for a car or house.

She only wanted to settle the bill. I offered $20 a week, which was accepted, but honestly this is the first time I had heard of such a bill, never seeing one, and having barely been told about it at the time of ‘agreeing.’

The moral of the story is that to avoid the tentacles of the Octopus, don’t get entangled in the first place. Don’t go into the water, or take the plunge without putting your toe in first and testing the water.

Having said that, I will be glad to put this company behind me.

Welcome back to America…hey! Land of free enterprise, and new world order corporations.
