astral meanders July 29-August 4th

Astral Weeks by Bev Murray 29 july-4 august 2009
In General: This week Mercury moves into Virgo suggesting we be careful of over confidence when making decisions and judgement and that we try to be more objective and humble about our abilities!! The moon slides into Sagittarius on the 1st of August and encourages us to be more expansive and broaden our horizons! It is an excellent time to plan travel and educational objectives. With Venus now in Cancer we are also set to benefit from spending time with family and those whom we love. There is a warm, romantic energy around most of this week. Do be careful however, of the 2nd - 4th as feelings can be intense and taxing with Venus opposing Pluto. We can get overtly caught up in our fears and worries and blow them out of proportion! If you are having a birthday this week then you can look forward to an expansive and adventurous year ahead. Family will be important! On the world scene expect the focus to be on education and family. Do also however expect some unrealistic goals to be set forth and some over reactions to what is ostensibly a small crisis!

Quote of the week: You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” Buddha

Aries
March 21- April 20
It is all about finding a better balance between work, home and play at the moment! You need to spend thinking about how you can really do this! It’s a generally positive week for making new friends and useful contacts so social activity is a must. It is time to stop hiding and put yourself out there again.

Taurus
April 21-May 21
Expenses may be higher than usual this week and continuing into August, so try to be prepared. Work and career are highlighted at present and there should be plenty to smile about. More responsibility and more appreciation from those in authority are likely. It’s also a good time to change jobs or ask for a raise.

Gemini
May 22-June 21
Mercury opposes Jupiter and Neptune this week causing you to experience some frustrations and delays in travel and communications. You want to expand your horizons and get out there in the world but you also want to spend time at home within the bosom of family. You will have to discover a balance for yourself.


Cancer
June 22- July 23
Oral and written presentations, essays, interviews and indeed anything to do with communication and/or education will be nicely energised this week and set to reap you praise and rewards! Relationships in general are also highlighted and communications should get better for you in this arena!

Leo
July 24- August 23
There may be some awkward misunderstandings between you and a partner or close relative. Communication is just not all that it should be for you at the moment. Try not to make too much of this as it will pass. Finances need some urgent attention and organisation. Pay any bills that you have been waiting to finalise!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
You are having some trouble getting a good balance between your obligations and your social life. You could feel as though everyone and everything are just too demanding at the moment and that you do not have enough time in a day! Try to be kind to yourself and focus on nurturing you this week!

Libra
September 24- October 23
Work and career are nicely highlighted but you may be finding it difficult to balance all the demands on your time! You can tap into the spiritual and meditative energy that is also coming your way this week in order to deal with this very real feeling! There may also be some professional goal setting in order!

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
Networking is wonderful this week and can have marvellous results, especially for those of you dealing with others on an international level. Travel plans however, may need revising and short journeys could easily experience delays this week too. Keep the focus and you will eventually work it out.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
You are tapping into the spiritual you again and finding that you like this energy! Expanding your religious, philosophical and educational horizons is highly favoured at this time. An increase in both fiscal and personal wealth is on the cars for most of you, so all in all it’s a pretty good week.

Capricorn
December 22- January20
Arguments and petty squabbles with a partner are likely this week. Try to step back and minimise the result of this! Stay away from heavy debates. You are feeling as though too much of your time is taken up in what others want from you. Be firm and initiate some ‘me’ time to balance this.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
There is a danger that you will push yourself too hard just now and that as a consequence your health will suffer. It is ok to take time out and let some of your obligations slip a little! Communication and negation are positively highlighted. This can really make meeting new individuals satisfying.

Pisces
February 20 March 20
Pluto sits nicely in your social networking arena and can help you to have some fun with friends and some very pleasant social interactions all round. Romance is highlighted and for those who are single a gratifying meeting could take place! There is also some profitable career energy about this week.
