3. Methodology & Data Gathering
Psychics & Mediums : Criteria
Recovery Dates
Must be working part or full time as a psychic/medium
Gathered data through Google Sheets (anonymously); Private inquiry; FB ads; FB psychic pages; Lilydale
Analyzed data through Sirius’ research programs: Astro-signature & Assumption less Exploratory Program & visual analysis
146 reliable dates: from all countries, random, youngest: , did not factor in sex or amount of work: self identified psychics/mediums
Self-identified as a `recovered alcoholic’
Gathered data through Google Sheets (anonymously); Private inquiry at accepting `AA meetings’; Private inquiry at Sobriety FB pages: FB ads; FB page; with assistance from a member of AA
Analyzed data through Sirius’ Pair Matching Program and visual analysis
56 reliable dates from all countries, random; not factoring in sex of participant

4. ???? Inquisitive Minds want to know????
Hypotheses
Definitions and Speculation
There are four `types’ of psychics according to psychics
Empaths: individuals who `feel’ the pain & joy of another
Clairvoyants: individuals who have `clear- seeing’ ; visionary experiences for another
Clairaudience: individuals who have `clear-hearing’; hear messages for another
Clairsentience: individuals who perceive physical changes within their own bodies reflecting another’s physical experience (medical intuitive)
Hypothesis #1: Psychics and Mediums have a greater need for retreat/meditation/prayer
Hypothesis #2: Psychics and Mediums may have more `water’ is terms of house placement and sign
Hypothesis #3 : The charts of Psychics & mediums may have more aspects to the transpersonal planets associated with psychics ( Neptune) and mediums ( Pluto)

5. Hypothesis #1
Analyzed my data with Sirius Astro Signature values –25 of them—such as inventiveness, decision-making, detachment, aggression , independence, need to be part of a group, inflexibility, domesticity, adventuresome, mental concentration…etc.
My psychics ranked HIGHEST in 1)`philosophy, religious & education 2) need for retreat solitude 3) psychology, humanities & literature
LOWEST in 1) tendency towards anger 2) inflexible stubbornness 3) technical detail work
This correlated with the SIRIUS DATA BANK of Psychics
Compared to 1) daredevils
2) soccer players
3) military personnel
4) military personnel

6. Hypothesis #2: Is water really the sign of `Sensitives’?
Analyzed the personal lights for sign and element, and, the ascending signs Keeping in mind that the data base is 146, which, if evenly distributed would mean that each of the 4 categories would measure 36.2 The sun is more about consciousness and identity while the moon is the unconscious feeling body

7. Sun in elements findings
Fire: 40/146
Earth: 31/146
Air: 39/146
Water: 36/146
Significance? Not much variance…although `Earth’ the element of practical & tangible is less represented…with Virgo (9) & Taurus (10) being LEAST represented, with Cancer and Leo tied with (16) and Libra taking the most: (17) and the remaining signs all 11’s & 12’s

8. Moon in Elements findings
Fire: 36/146
Earth: 31/146
Air: 36/146
Water: 43/ 146
Here water comes out ahead more clearly then with the sun placement…Earth is still the least
The greatest instance of SIGNS: tied for (15)Pisces Scorpio and Aries! Followed close by (14) : Sagittarius, & Aquarius & Cancer
Lowest numbers: Leo (7) , Virgo (9) Taurus & Capricorn (11) Gemini (10) Libra (1)

9. Ascending signs
1) Pisces(5);2) Taurus (7); 3) Aquarius (8);4) Aries (8) ; 5) Virgo (9) ;6) Scorpio(12); 7) Capricorn (12); 8) Sagittarius (13) ; 9) Libra(15) ; 10)Leo (17) ; 11) Gemini (19) ; 12) Cancer (20)
Of Course! The short/long ascension variable affects the actual numbers of any given ascending sign depending upon the hemisphere you were born!
Still ! Interesting that CANCER ascending is most represented; PISCES the least.
Gemini ‘s 2nd ranking most interesting!
EARTH lower by element …again!

10. Where’s the sun? 3rd-4 5th-5 6th-7 4th-10 7th-10 1st-12 2nd-12 12th-14

11. Where’s the Moon? 3rd-6 6th-6 8th-8 2nd-9 4th-10 5th-11 7th-11 10th-11

12. Control Group: 1,316 Gauquelin Politicians: Average per element: 328
Fire: 343/1316
Earth: 314/1316
Air: 375/1316
Water: 284/1316
Highest: AIR
Lowest: WATER

13. Moon by element: average: 328/1316
Fire: 328
Earth: 332
Air: 342
Water: 314
Water is still lowest
Air is still highest

14. Aspects to moon/sun from Neptune/Pluto Hypothesis # 3
`My Psychic data base’
Control Group: 146 charts of various occupations: Business/entertainment/Sports
Sun/Neptune major aspects: 63
Moon/Neptune major aspects: 59
Sun/Pluto major aspects: 64
Moon/Pluto major aspects: 55
Sun/Neptune major aspects: 28
Moon/Neptune major aspects: 31
Sun/Pluto major aspects: 39
Moon/Pluto major aspects: 25

15. Discussion 
Psychics recognize the qualities of being `sensitive’ (associated with WATER) and being able to also be clairvoyant ( associated with FIRE) Perhaps why findings indicate high FIRE and WATER?
Less common are psychics who are clairsentient (medical intuitives) Perhaps this is associated with EARTH? And EARTH placements were lower including ASCENDING SIGNS with CANCER being the Highest ASCENDING Sign
MOON represents the UNCONSCIOUS as opposed to SUN identity. Need a strong identity to function publically in world as a fringe `psychic?’
Findings support slightly STRONGER water followed by FIRE with EARTH trailing….
Compared to military/politicians
…water wins…with the Psychics
SUN: HOUSES:
Fire: 40/ MOON-12th
Earth: 31/ SUN – 10th
Air: 39/146
Water: 36/146
MOON:
Fire: 36/146
Earth: 31/146
Air: 36/146
Water: 43/ 146

16. James Van Praagh 1) 8th house Sun
2) Sun conjunct Pluto trine ascendant
3) Moon conjunct Saturn in 12th
4) Mercury trine Moon
5) both a Psychic and a Medium

17. Alcohol Recovery!? What do you think?

18. Approximately 90% of alcoholics experience at least one relapse in the four years following treatment
More than a third of participants (35.9%) were fully recovered from alcohol dependence -- meaning they had complete abstinent recovery or became a "low-risk drinker." That definition is in accordance with standards set by the American Psychological Association.
About 18% had become abstainers, totally giving up alcohol. A similar number (17.7%) were low-risk drinkers. They hadn't quit alcohol drinking completely but had no symptoms of either abuse or dependence. They also didn't drink enough in the past to raise their relapse risk.
However, one in four participants was still dependent on alcohol. About a third were in partial remission, showing some symptoms of alcohol abuse or dependence.
Others were dangerously close to relapse. About 12% were past risk drinkers; they had no symptoms of dependency but had a pattern of drinking that raised their relapse risk. For men, a risk drinker is one that drinks more than 14 drinks per week, or five or more drinks on any given day. For women, a risk drinker consumes more than seven drinks per week, or four or more drinks on any day.

19. which PLANET REFERS TO `HARD’ & DIFFICULT?
I know I'm an alcoholic, but this is ridiculous. Why is it so hard to quit alcohol when I'm very aware it's destroying every part of my life?
Study Explains Why It's So Hard To Stop Drinking
How to Get Someone to Stop Drinking Alcohol (It's Not Easy)
Getting someone to get sober and stop drinking alcohol is hard because alcoholics become emotionally attached to the substance. 
Why is it so difficult to quit drinking? What do you go through - how does it feel? My husband is an alcoholic and I'm done and done but I really ...

20. Moon-Mother-New Life-Nurturance-Personal-Liquid-unconscious
For me, my sobriety date is extremely important. It commemorates a miraculous day when I was given another chance to live.
Sobriety dates are also commonly known as “birthdays,” with many AA/NA members referring to the dates of their birth as “belly- button birthdays.” 
One of the primary reasons to remember our sobriety date is that it helps us remember not only when our life began to change for the better, but also what it was like before.

21. It’s both `difficult’ and somehow connected to family: nature/Nurture…
It’s both `difficult’ and somehow connected to family: nature/Nurture….so!
Hypothesis #1: Recovery would have a Saturn component
Hypothesis #2: Recovery would have a Moon component
1) Have a family history of mental health disorders; depression, anxiety, etc.
2) Live in a family or culture where alcohol use is common and accepted
3) Have a close relative with alcohol use disorder
( olism/basics#RiskFactors3)

22. MOON: Emphasis on the special day!
1) The moon moves so quickly~
2) Emphasis on `others’: 7th/8th/11th
3) Emphasis on identity
4) Random distribution? 4.6 Moons in each house

23. SATURN: where is that `hard work?’
1) Saturn is about `structural’ changes
2) Not as concerned about what `others’ think?
3) Emphasis on `philosophical’ thoughts (9th) & personal transformation (8th) and health (6th) ?
4) Random distribution? 4.6 Saturns in each house

24. Analysis: Charted Conjunctions of Transiting sun/moon/Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune/pluto to the Subjects’ sun/Moon/Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune/Pluto
Hypothesis #1 : Saturn Contacts
Hypothesis #2: Moon Contacts
1) Out of the 56 subjects analyzed 5 subjects set their recovery date within the 2-year-spread of Saturn Return!
2) 56=`approximately 2 cycles of Saturn’
3) So randomly we might expect just 2 subjects who quit during a Saturn return
4) a total of 34 Saturn contacts/56 subjects
1) What was discovered …was an overwhelming majority of the `recovery dates’ indicated strong LUNAR NODE contacts!
2) This was a `discovery’ but makes sense in light of moon involvement!
3) A total of 87 nodal or moon connections! This includes transiting S/N nodes to planets and transiting planets to personal nodes/moon

25. The findings suggest that recovery is `a new identity’

2) Sun=Sun & ASC=16%
3) Saturn=14%
4) Jupiter=10%
5) Pluto ( surprise?) =9%
6) Neptune=8%
7) Uranus=7%

27. Control Group
1) 56 charts were selected: 30`alcoholics’ from the Gauquelin Data, and, random anonymous individuals were matched with RANDOM meaningless `dates’ gleamed from IPO dates, individuals, and from `made-up’ random dates
2) These charts were matched with equally random dates: 1) IPO dates, other natal charts, randomly selected from the Kepler data bank
3) The results are meaningful….because there wasn’t any particular pattern!

31. Patrick Kennedy: `a common struggle’
1) Saturn conjunct moon
2) Moon conjunct s. node
3) Venus opposite Sun (exact)
4) the following moon announced his engagement to Amy
5) married in July 2011
6) Son of Ted Kennedy: speaks of the `conspiracy of silence within his family
7) advocate for mental illness initiatives `One Brain’

32. Conclusion? The 28.5 pulse of Saturn ( years) and Moon ( days) seem to be implicated in recovery work….

33. Thank you for your kind attention!
