Astral weeks by Bev Murray January 7th- January 13th 2009

In General: The week begins with Jupiter in Aquarius for the first time in 12 years. This is a time for personal development and an increased awareness of spiritual needs. Individually we are all challenged to move nearer to our true dreams and ideals and begin to live them. Communally we are all challenged to admit to the curative crisis that presently confronts our planet and boost our consciousness toward the ideal of a more aware and compassionate humanity. With the full moon in Cancer on January on 11th this is alos an appropriate week to spend quality time with family and friends. On the 12th January, Mercury will go retrograde till 2nd February. Before this transit starts it is advised you service your car, post all important documents, do all necessary promotional work and printing, sign any documents outstanding and service your printer and computer. If traveling at this time expect delays. If your birthday occurs this week then the year ahead will provide many opportunities to gain inner wisdom and learn more about yourself. On the world scene the main areas of focus is humanitarian issues. Expect the unexpected from those in power. Locally spend time with relaticves oin the 11th.
