Astral Meanderings 1-7 OCtober 2008

In General: October begins with Mercury retrograde sextile to Pluto. This can give us all a much needed opportunity to push past the confusions and difficulties of the Mercury retrograde period in general. On the 4th Mars moves into Scorpio bringing a little intense inner reflection not our lives! Growth, overcoming obstacles and empowering the self are this week’s matters. Reassessing finances, relationships and career are this week’s challenges. If you have your birthday this week the year ahead looks to be one in which you really define your sense of self. You are coming into your own now. On the world scene solutions to old problems and tricky issues are more likely to come about now. Locally the 7th is best for anything that requires a discerning and thoughtful mind. Don’t forget daylight saving, midnight Sunday 5th!

Astral News: Sky Glow is caused by unused outdoor uplighting. This light is scattered in the atmosphere by particles and aerosols causing the air above urban areas to glow. The end result is that we are unable to see most of the 2500 stars that would normally be seen under dark skies. Reducing sky glow, unlike other forms of pollution, actually saves us money and also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For more information and ideas on this go to http://www.solis.org.au/


Aries:
March 21- April 19

This week is good for networking and forming new business partnerships. Promotion at work is on the cards or at the very least some recognition of a job well done. Travel and learning are both favoured. Close relationships might be having a few difficulties. Deal with these by clear communication.

Taurus
April 20-May 20

This is a productive and profitable week for you guys. Relationships come under some scrutiny. If you have been operating under some delusions then now is the time to own them and either move on or take the relationship to another level of commitment. Domestic and family related issues are also prominent.

Gemini
May 21-June 21

Home, career and family issues all need attention this week and finding some balance will be the difficult challenge. Jobs around the home, clearing and cleaning will take up a good deal of your time. Don’t let others bully you into doing things that compromise you! Stay true to yourself for the best results.

Cancer
22 June-23 July

Decisions about finances and which way to proceed will be easier this week. A brilliant new strategy may come to mind! Part of the process is beginning to understand just exactly what you need to let go of in order to make way for the new. Being brutally honest with yourself is the key. Adventurous times are ahead!

Leo
24 July- 22 August

Try to take things slowly and carefully this week as accidents and mistakes are like too.
Saying the wrong thing is also very possible! Others just won’t be in the mood to understand you this week so expect a few arguments! Try to stay in the moment and do not hold grudges. A smile can work wonders.

Virgo
23 August- 24September

Finding a new job or improving the one you have is on the agenda this week. Its an optimum period for looking after your health and starting a new fitness regime. The 7th in particular is good for any health improvements. If you need to see a health professional then do it then.

Libra
24 September -23 October

This week you could be a bit of an air head due to Mercury retrograde. You should avoid any important meetings if you can! Try to be kind to yourself and take things slowly. It’s a good week financially and there’s a nice boost to the bank balance. Be kind to a loved one and reap the rewards.

Scorpio
24 October- 22 November

There is a project that you are working on that needs to come to completion this week. After the 4th Mars adds some excellent energy to your chart. You feel as if you could take on the world! The 2nd is great for relationships and an optimum time for you to be honest about your feelings. There are good outcomes for things financial.



Sagittarius
23 November- 22 December

Pluto can cause some drama for you at this time. Its good drama though because it lets you understand yourself more and get in touch with those elusive feelings. There is a lot of action on the home front now and this is due to continue for most of October, so get rest when you can!

Capricorn
23 December- 20 January

It is important for you to have variety in your life now or you get restless and anxious. Fatigue will affect your health so be sure to factor in some down time! The Hands and wrists are susceptible at the moment so be extra careful with them. Try to give some time to the family too because they need you!

Aquarius
21 January-19 February

You are feeling quite sensitive now. Be aware that you can take things the wrong way easily now. Life overall is busy and demanding at present. Taking time out to relax can be the key to coping better. Romance seems to be on the cards in a nice way though so focus on this!

Pisces
20th February-20 March

You are winding up a twelve year cycle at the moment and new adventures are about to start. Romance figures highly and you will be ready for some type of commitment. Try to focus on work too as things can go awry there if you do not! It’s a complex juggle but it need to be done.
