astral meanderings September 10-16 2008

In General: On the 12th Venus and Mars, join each other in Libra, encouraging honesty within relationships and some romantic intensity. This can also be a time of social activity, and meeting that someone special! Something surprising could be in store on or around the 13th when, the Sun opposes Uranus. This is also a time to be careful with technical equipment as breakdowns are likely. The full moon is exact on Monday 15th and in Pisces. This is wonderfully compassionate and spiritual moon which encourages introspection and meditation. If you have a birthday this week then they year a head will be a mix of the unexpected and personal growth on a very deep level. On the world scene a few surprises will be in store and these could have something to do with religion or spirituality. Locally it would be wise to be very careful around machines as accidents are possible.
