When you think of Academy Awards, do you think "spiritual reading"? If not, why not?

I have an annual custom of doing aura readings, comparing auras of top-nominated actors with their auras in roles; it's a way to show that deeper perception can be practical.

Anyone nominated for Best Actor or Actress has the technical skills down cold. The voice, the walk, the imagination, the ability to make a role seem spontaneous and real. But an intuitive reading can show you something even more fascinating. Who changes so deep, even the aura is altered? What happens deep within energy fields?

Auras combine changing experiences with gifts of the soul, components that usually don't change. But can a super talented actor change all the way down to that level? Some can.

This year, I have researched five ultra-revealing aura databanks on each nominee for Best Actress and Best Actor. Then I have used a photo of each nominee as herself or himself. For comparison, I have read those very same databanks on the actor or actress in the nominated movie role. In this article, we're reading the super-duper performance of the daring Johnny Depp.

Until you can do aura readings through a dedicated technique, try this short-cut. Look into the actor's eyes, in the photo being read. Then turn to the comments on one chakra at a time. Alternating this sequence, you can taste the flavor pretty strongly.

This is a kind of intuitive reading, a super-scaled-down version of one of my techniques for reading the soul through the eyes. You'll receive just about 10% of the clarity from doing bona fide aura readings, but it's fun. And it's a start.

Here comes "Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." English majors will not like this movie, whose title is sadly lacking a comma.

In some places, the title is presented with a colon after the main character's name. That's not going to satisfy English majors either.

Let's start with the fun of reading the actor as himself, using this photo:www.selfgrowth.com

Presence When Entering a Room at the Root Chakra

Depp's huge, glowey presence is a lifelong gift of the soul. Along with that gift, unfortunately, he carries a great deal of "stuff." Quirks and unresolved problems have made him all the more human, and he has a definite preference for smashing people's boundaries. Risk taking is also very pronounced throughout his aura.

Sex Appeal at the Belly Chakra

He's sexy, big sexy. He's wild, very wild.
But caution, caution! I'd better warn you right now that, in case Johnny asks you out on a date, you might want to think twice. Only the most uninhibited need apply.

Handling Power in Tough Situations at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Depp's risk-taking proclivities are his biggest asset here. He's daring, but with a quality of death wish that I find disturbing.

Still, the actor has survived thus far, and done pretty well for himself. If, along with his soul-level talent, his aura carries destructive debris, Johnny Depp has known how to contain it, even focus it, to augment his career.

Emotional Connection to Other People at the Heart Chakra

Essentially kind, Johnny also shows evidence of a deep melancholy. He isn't fighting it either, but rather decorates it with a cynical pose.

Soul Development at the High Heart Chakra

I'd have to characterize Johnny Depp as a teenage soul, having a most courageous and interesting lifetime. Rather than range as an actor, he brings a willingness to risk all, show all.

And here, if you dare, is Depp in his star-and-slime turn as a murderous barber, for which we'll consult this photograph:www.selfgrowth.com

I'm guessing that the character's lunacy isn't revealed this fully throughout the whole movie. Otherwise where would be the drama? T he audience gets to see the character go from "normal" all the way -- far out -- into this monstrous kind of lunacy. But a photo like this is best to read, isn't it, to gauge how far Depp is willing and able to go, inhabiting the role and, possibly, also shifting his aura.

Small, angry and scary, that's Depp. Yes, you can count this as a change from his chakra business as usual.

Sex Appeal at the Belly Chakra

Small, scary and sadistic, now there's a switch!

Handling Power in Tough Situations" at the Solar Plexus Chakra
Menacing, Depp plays a very, very bad boy. Count this as a change too, fortunately.

Emotional Connection to Other People at the Heart Chakra

Cold and bloodthirsty — congratulations, Kid. This is one of the most repellent movie creations I have ever seen. If you're a connoisseur of evil, you'll surely enjoy it. In this portrayal, Depp lets out all the decency stops.

Soul Development at the High Heart Chakra

Depp does his best shifting here, at this chakra. Not only does this character seem to have less soul development than the actor, but it's a soul dedicated to evil.

Total number of chakras dramatically changed: 5

CONCLUSION: With his risk-taking qualities and personal melancholy, it's clear that Johnny Depp will be a favorite actor of many. He has done a terrific job here, although it's not a kind of terrific that I, personally, would choose to watch.

(This, of course, is where a lot of spam comes from. Somebody gathers your data and sells it. Phooey on that-ey. People who want to do spiritual reading don't want the consequences of that kind of action to clutter up their energy fields, right? Not to mention, I hate getting spam, so why would I do that to others.)

Note also, this is a once-a-month online magazine. You won't be getting daily updates and I definitely won't be sending you corny jokes (much as I personally love them, who has the time?)
